AUDIENCE COMMENT None ADMINISTRATIVE REpORT None COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC MEETING - Zero Lot Line Townhouses and Small Lot Detached Development Code Amendments Ms. Shull delivered the staff report. It was noted that this is a public meeting as opposed to a public hearing (the public hearing will be March 141h) and therefore, no public testimony will be taken. In addition to amendments for Zero Lot Line (ZLL) Townhouses and Small Lot Detached Development, these amendments include various proposed miscellaneous amendments for "housekeeping." The miscellaneous housekeeping amendments include increasing the number of lots for short plats from four to nine and a corresponding change to exempt up to nine lots from SEP A review; change the submittal requirements for plats, etc. to help with data collection for Buildable Lands; and add language to address problems with mass grading (this issue is intended to be followed by a more in-depth code amendment as part of the 2007 Planning Commission Work Program). The proposed amendments started as two requests by citizens. Wally Costello (Quadrant Corporation) requested that small lot detached development be allowed on 2400 square foot lots in the Multifamily Residential 2400 (R1\1 2400) zone. Jon Potter (Stateside Investments) requested that ZLL townhouse development be allowed on individual lots in the RM 2400 zone. Jim Sprott (Quadrant) and Mr. Potter were in attendance to answer any questions. Mr. Potter requested that the lot size in the RM 2400 zone be reduced to 1,500 square feet, as opposed to the staff recommended 1,800 square feet. Ms. Shull stated that as long as all other development standards are met, staff has no objection to this request. K:IPlanning Commissionl2007\Meeting Summary 03-07-07.doc March 7, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 Staff recommends that since small lot detached development will be located in a multi-family zone, but will not look like multi-family housing, a demonstration project be done similar to what is being done for cottage housing. ZLL's and small lot detached developments will be processed through the subdivision process. Two setback options are proposed because garages may be placed in front or behind the building. The alley and roadway standards (Exhibit 16 of the staff report) are not a code amendment; they are an amendment to the Public Works Development Standards. The alley and private street standards will only apply to ZLL's, small lot detached, and cottage housing developments. Mr. Miller commented that the road standards depend on the number of lots and the staff worked with the fire department to develop these standards. Under certain circumstances, South King Fire and Rescue will require the alley and/or private street to be striped for no parking in order to ensure access for fire department vehicles. Commissioner Drake asked who will be responsible for this striping. Mr. Miller replied it will be the homeowners association. Commissioner Carlson asked if there w,ill be a vertical separation between the road and pedestrian walkway (i.e. a step up to a sidewalk). Mr. Miller responded that a vertical separation is depicted in the standards, but it may not always be feasible. Commissioner Drake asked if the fire department approves of the setback between the buildings. Mr. Miller replied they approved it, but may require that buildings have sprinklers. Commissioner Bronson asked who owns the open space and can a setback be used as open space. Ms. Shull replied that the homeowners association will own the open space and a setback can be used as open space as long as it is usable space (i.e., not a driveway). Commissioner Bronson expressed his concern that the Public Works Development Standards can be changed without public notice. Ms. Clark commented that it is the Public Works Director who is the decision maker for the Public Works Development Standards. Commissioner Pfeifer asked Mr. Potter to explain why they want the lot size changed to 1500 square feet. Mr. Potter replied that with everything that must be included with the buildings (such as roads) the number of actual lots was too small to make developing the property they are considering feasible. Having smaller sized lots would give them enough lots to make developing feasible. Commissioner Drake asked who would be responsible for maintenance. If there is a maintenance problem, can the city deal with it? What if there is a problem with the sewer system? Ms. Clark replied that staff will follow-up on these issues. Commissioner Carlson asked if there will residential design standards (he's thinking of such things as the size of garage doors). Ms. Shull responded that the plan for small lot detached developments is to have demonstration project(s) similar to those for cottage housing. A separate ordinance would be prepared that outlines how the demonstration project(s) would work. This ordinance would include design standards. If the demonstration project is not well received, than there may not be any other small lot detached developments allowed.

Staff present: Community Development Services Director Kathy McClung, Senior Planner Margaret Clark, Senior Planner Lori Michaelson, Contract Planner Janet Shull, Traffic Engineer Rick Perez, Assistant City Attorney Amy Jo Pearsall, and Administrative Assistant E. Tina Piety. Chairwoman Elder called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m. ApPROV AL OF MINUTES None AUDIENCE COMMENT None ADMINISTRATIVE REpORT None COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING - Zero Lot Line Townhouses and Small Lot Detached Development Code Amendments Commissioner Osaki announced that he has a working relationship with the proponent and although he doesn't feel it would affect his decision, he has decided to recuse himself. Ms. Shull delivered the staff report. She handed out a staff memorandum with findings and the staff recommendation. Last week the Commission had asked about the responsibility for maintenance. Staff spoke with the utilities about this question. General maintenance would be the same. as that currently for apartments and condominiums. The City can enforce code violations. .Whenever possible, utilities in private right-of-way wi)) be privately owned and maintained. Staff recommends adoption of the amendments as proposed with an amendment to Exhibit 4 to change the minimum lot size for Zero Lot Line developments from 1800 square feet to 1500 square feet. The hearing was opened to public testimony. John Potter, Stateside Investments - He is one of the proponents. He agrees with the staff recommendation. K. \Planning Commission\2007\Meeting $urrunary 03.14~07.doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 March 14,2007 Wally Costello, Quadrant - He is the other proponent. He also supports the staffrecommendation. He showed the Commission a preliminary site plan of Quadrant's proposed development. Houses in the middle of the project are alley loaded (garages behind the houses) and the others are street loaded (garages in front). He noted the project has a wetland. He also showed the Commission a picture of front entry homes and one of alley entry homes. Commissioner Duclos asked if this is will be workforce housing. Mr. Costello replied they would be less than the current market, but would not be workforce housing. Commissioner Duclos moved (and it was seconded) adoption of the amended staff recommendation. The motion passed. Commissioner Bronson expressed concern that the public notice was not given for a change to the Public Works Development Standards (on private streets and alleys). Commissioner Carlson expressed concern about the aesthetics of small lot detached dwellings. He encourages that design standards be in place.. The public hearing was closed. PUBLIC HEARING- 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments and BP/BC Zoning Text Code Amendments Commissioner Osaki returned to the Commission. Commissioner Duclos recused herself because she is employed by the Multi-Service Center and they own Mitchell Place, which is subject to these amendments. Ms. Clark explained that due to the complexity of these code amendments, they will be presented in stages. This evening, staff will present an introduction to the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments and will discuss Chapter Two. In addition, discussion will be held on the BP/BC Zoning Text Code Amendments. The comprehensive plan and BP/BC code amendments are being done in tandem because of their interrelatedness. At the Planning Commission meeting of March 21,2007, the remaining chapters of the comprehensive plan will be discussed. Finally, at the Planning Commission meeting of April 18, 2007, the seven citizen initiated site-specific comprehensive plan rezone requests will be discussed. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments The city notified all property owners in the Business Park (BP) and Community Business (Be) zoning districts, as well as all property owners within 300 feet of these zoning districts. The proposed changes to these zoning districts require a change to their comprehensive plan boundaries. The BC zoning district boundaries to the north of the area proposed to be changed will remain the same. To date, the city has received no written comments and three phone calls, two of which were in favor of the proposal. The proposed changes to the BP and BC include renaming all BP, and some BC zoned land south of South 339th Street, to Commercial Enterprise (CE). The BC-zoned land in this area is characterized by bulk and big box retailers, light manufacturing and warehouse uses, and convenient access to 1-5 and Hwy 18. (Ms. Michaelson will discuss the specifics of the proposed CE zone during the discussion of the BP/BC Zoning Text Code Amendments later this evening). One proposed change is to not allow residential in the proposed CE zone. This change would make Mitchell Place (a senior housing development currently located in BP) nonconforming. As a result, staff is recommending that Mitchell Place be redesignated from BP to Multifamily (RM 2400, one unit per 2,400 square feet). The majority of changes being proposed for Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) Chapter Two are to update demographics related to population and/or employment, in addition to some changes to reflect recent code updates (including the proposed BP/BC Zoning Text Code Amendments) and housekeeping changes. K.\Planning Commission\2007\Meeting Summary 03.14.07 .doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 March 14,2007 BPIBC Zoning Text Code Amendments Ms. Michaelson delivered the staff report. The changes include uses and development regulations. Site design and development standards will be amended for height, setbacks, design guidelines, landscaping, etc. The proposed height increases are not significant, but would allow one or two additional floors. The vision for the proposed CE zone is to accommodate heavier commercial and industrial uses (such as manufacturing and warehouse uses); integrate compatible commercial, office, and retail sales and service; and continue to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential zones through design and development standards. (As mentioned above, residential would not be an allowed use.) The proposed CE zone would continue to be the city's only industrial use zone (e.g. manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, etc.). The BC-zoned area would continue to be characterized as an auto-oriented commercial/retail corridor, with an increased emphasis on mixed-use residential, pedestrian scale uses, and related amenities. For BC, all current uses would remain, with the exception of bulk retail, truck stops, transfer facilities, and adult entertainment (all of which will be allowed in the proposed CE zone). A new use of "limited manufacturing and production" will be added. Body repair and painting shops will be allowed as principal uses, instead of accessory uses to new car sales. Gas stations will be allowed to service commercial trucks as a secondary use, although truck stops will not be allowed. (An earlier proposal to disallow tow and taxi lots was not carried forward.) In addition to the proposal outlined in the March 14, 2007, staff report, staff is recommended that the definition to big-box retail and all references to it be deleted (a handout on this proposal was given to the Commissioners). The reason for this is that the big-box retail definition duplicates the definition for bulk retail and could conflict. Staff noted that without this change, the Safeway on 320th Street would become nonconforming. The question was raised whether properties in the proposed CE zone would be allowed to have freeway commercial signs. Ms. Michaelson responded that the impact of the code amendments on freeway commercial signs needs to be researched, but a fairly simple resolution is anticipated and she will report back to the Commission on this issue next week. There are a number of amended development regulations, including changing the review process for height modification from Process III to a Director's Decision; reducing the open space for mixed-use residential from 400 to 300 square feet per dwelling unit; changes to the minimum lot size; changes to parking for medical/dental offices; height increases; and a number of other related minor changes. Commissioner Osaki expressed concern that an increase in commercial uses in the proposed CE zone will bring an increase in traffic. Why is there a decrease in the am peak hour trips? How will this affect the city's level of service? Mr. Perez explained that industrial uses have more morning peak hour trips than commercial/retail. With the exception of say coffee shops, people tend to shop, and stores tend to open, later in the day; other than this, retail uses generate more trips overall. There will be an impact to the city's level of service. Mr. Perez has not analyzed what that impact will be, but he expects the city's concurrency process to help. The hearing was opened for Public Testimony. Jesse T. Cherian, ST Fabrication, Inc. - He read a letter into the record. He is concerned that residential (senior housing) will be removed from the allowed uses in the proposed CE zone. He would like to have mixed-use residential allowed in the proposed CE zone. His property is surrounded by residential uses. Redeveloping his property with mixed-use residential would allow a smooth transition between the industrial and residential uses. In his letter, he stated he has spokep. to a number of developers about possible development of his property and their approach would be, "... to mix residential and commercial structures together to make the projects fiscally viable." \ K. \Planning Commission\2007\Meeting Surmnary 03-14-07 ,doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 March 14,2007 Commissioner Pfeifer asked Mr. Cheri an what he wants to do with his property. Mr. Cheri an replied that at first he had planned to stay and conduct his business (which is an allowed use), but now it seems it would be better ifhe were to sell the property, but as stated in his letter, the developers he has talked to only want to do mixed-use projects. Commissioner Elder asked who came first to the area, residential or industrial uses. Mr. Cherian replied that the property was zoned for industrial, but there was no industrial use on the property when the residential uses were built (his business came later). Commissioner Pfeifer stated that he had heard that there have been complaints from the neighbors about the noise level from Mr. Cherian's business, would he comment? Mr. Cherian replied that he had a study done that shows the business is not violating any codes in regards to noise levels, but this doesn't help the neighbors. Gils Hulsman, Christian Faith Center - He noted that on page 6 of 6 of Exhibit M, the two Christian Faith parcels are divided, leaving them with two different zoning designations. He asked the city to move the boundary line to 341 SI so that all of their property will be in one zone. Ms. Clark responded that having those parcels divided was not the city's intent. The city does not want to split the zoning on any parcel. She will ensure that the boundary line is changed. Ron On, K & Y Inc. - He spoke in support of the proposed amendments. He is planning a hotel in the area and the proposed amendments would allow for higher ceilings. He feels he would not be able to develop his property without these amendments. Rob Reuber - He expressed overall support for the proposed amendments. He has been, and continues to be, involved with a number of development projects in the area and feels the proposed amendments will be very helpful. He commented that one of the proposed changes is to change the back setback for proposed CE zone. It would make projects easier to work with if the setbacks are kept the same. He proposes a five foot setback. He also commented that the current height limits are difficult to work with and supports the proposed height changes. Bob Wroblewski, Multi-Service Center, Board of Director's Secretary - Ms. Piety read his letter into the record. His letter expressed support for the rezone of Mitchell Place from BP to Multifamily. Commissioner Pfeifer would like to see casinos allowed. Ms. Michaelson stated that she will research the issues raised this evening and will present the staffs comments next week. The issues include freeway profile signs, setbacks (as raised by Mr. Reuber), and gambling uses in the CEo Staff will also work with Mr. Cherian in regards to his options. The public hearing was continued to Wednesday, March 21, 2007, at 7 :00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers.

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Citizen-Initiated Site-Specific Requests MEETING DATE: Apri118,2007 I. BACKGROUND Federal Way adopted its comprehensive plan in 1995 and updated it in December 1998, December 2000, November 2001, March 2003, July 20,2004, and June 16,2005. The Growth Management Act (GMA) limits plan updates to no more than once per year, except under the following circumstances: 1. The initial adoption of a sub-area plan that does not modify the comprehensive plan policies and designations applicable to the subarea; 2. The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program; 3. 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. 2006 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS The 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments includes the following components: 1. Housekeeping Changes Changes are proposed to Chapter 1, Introduction; Chapter 2, Land Use; Chapter 4, Economic Development; Chapter 6, Capital Facilities; and Chapter 7, City Center to reflect changes in demographics or other conditions since 2004, the last time these chapters were updated. Similarly the maps in Chapter 3, Transportation; Chapter 8, Potential Annexation Area; Chapter 9, Natural Environment; and Chapter 10, Private Utilities were updated to reflect the January 1, 2006, annexation and the new City boundaries. Proposed amendments to chapters and maps were presented to you at the previous public hearings on March 14th and March 21, 2007. 2. City-initiated amendments to the comprehensive plan map related to changing the boundaries of the BP and BC zoning districts. This city-initiated area-wide comprehensive plan amendment and rezone was presented to you during the March 7, 2007, public hearing. . Rename the Business Park (BP) zone to Commercial Enterprise (CE) and change the Community Business (Be) zoned properties located south of South 339th Street (if extended), except for the "Kitts Corner" property and Mitchell Place (located south of South 336th Street and west of Pacific Highway South) and the WINCO property to CEo This would result in an increase of approximately 203 BP/CE zoned acres from 253 to 456 acres, and a decrease of approximately 207 BC-zoned acres from 460 to 260 acres (Exhibits B and C). . Change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of a 4.19 acre parcel (number 202104-9002), located at 1001 South 336th Street, from BP to Multifamily 2400 (RM 2400, one unit per 2,400 square feet). Mitchell Place, a senior housing development, is located on this parcel (Exhibit D). . Retain BC zoning for all properties located north of South 339th Street (Exhibit C). 3.

At that time, it was given a comprehensive plan designation of Multifamily and zoning ofRM 3600, with a development agreement limiting the density to six units per acre, which would have allowed 82 residential units. Quadrant later applied for an OP comprehensive plan designation and zoning as part of the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update and was granted these designations per Ordinance 00-372 in September 2000. The applicant, Wally Costello on behalf of the Quadrant Corporation, is requesting a multifamily comprehensive plan designation and zoning in order to construct single- family dwelling units on 2,400 square foot lots. The code does not presently allow detached fee- simple dwelling units on less than a 5,000 square foot lot in multifamily zones, regardless of the underlying density of the zone. However, it allows attached, detached, or stacked dwelling units with the density of the underlying zoning, which would allow three dwelling units on a 7,200 square foot lot in an RM 2400 zone. These units could not be sold as fee-simple 2,400 square foot lots, but could only be sold individually as condominiums with the land held in common ownership. On December 6, 2005, the City Council gave staff direction to draft a code amendment "Small Lot Detached Development" to allow 2,400 square foot fee-simple lots in an RM 2400 zone. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the "Small Lot Detached Development" on March 7, 2007, and recommended approval of theses code amendments to the City Council. The Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTe) is scheduled to discuss these amendments at their April 16, 2007, meeting. Although development is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action, the applicant has submitted a conceptual plan (Exhibit AA), which shows how the 19.12 acre site might be subdivided with RM 2400 zoning and a minimum lot size of 2,400 square feet.

Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 5 The site is presently vacant and undeveloped. As shown on Exhibit AB, existing land uses and zoning in the general vicinity include residential and office. South King County Fire and Rescue Station No. 64 is located to the southeast of the site. The BP A easement runs diagonally through the northwestern portion of the site. To the north of the site is a mix of King County Office (O-P) and Multifamily (R-18-P) zoning. To the west of the site is King County Office (O-P) and Business (CB) zoning. To the east is King County Multifamily (R-18-P) zoning and to the south of the site across South 320lh Street is Federal Way Office Park 1 (OP-I) zoning. The areas presently under King County zoning is located within the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA), and once annexed would receive Federal Way comprehensive plan designations and zoning (as adopted in the 2005 Potential Annexation Area and Sub-Area Plan) of Community Business (Be) with a development agreement west of the site, Single Family High Density and RS 9.6 (Single Family, one unit per 9,600 square feet) north and northeast of the site, and Multifamily and RM 2400 (one unit per 2400 square feet) east of the site. Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: The underlying Quadrant parcels have slopes, which vary from zero to eight percent over the majority of the site, with the steepest slope of 15 percent in the easterly portion of the site. A wetlands study prepared for a previous development on the site identifies two wetlands on the eastern portion of the site, and a small isolated wetland within the western central portion of the site. Wetland A, located near the center of the site, is approximately 462 square feet and is below the regulatory threshold of the City of Federal Way. Wetlands Band C are located on the eastern portion of the site and a portion of Wetland E is located on the northeastern portion of the site. Wetlands B, C, and D will be protected in sensitive areas tracts. As shown on the conceptual site plan, total wetland and buffer would comprise 140,351 square feet, 16 percent of the site. Drainage Source: The site drains into two drainage basins. The majority of the site is located within the Hy1ebos Creek Basin and the remainder of the site is located within the Mill Creek Basin. The site is also located within a Levell Flow Control and Basic Water Quality Treatment Area. Although development is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action, the applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan which shows runoff from the developed site draining to two detention ponds, one approximately 22,000 square feet in size located in the northeastern portion of the site and another approximately 39,000 square feet in size located in the southwestern portion of the site. Subdivision of the site will be subject to environmental review as required by the SEPA Rules, and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans, policies, rules, and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEP A to approve, condition, or deny proposed actions. In addition, any water-related impacts will be mitigated in compliance with the 1998 King County Suiface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. Access Access would be from South 320lh Street, a principal arterial, which forms the southern border of the site and from 320d A venue South, which is presently an unopened right-of-way. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 6 Potential Traffic Impacts Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation 7th Edition, Land Use Code 210 (Single Family Detached Housing), the potential 117 single-family lot development is estimated to generate approximately 123 weekday evening peak hour trips, 91 morning peak hour trips, 1,201 daily trips, 115 Saturday peak hour trips, 1,220 Saturday daily trips, 108 Sunday peak hour trips, and 1,023 Sunday daily trips. Trip generation for the existing zoning is higher for the weekdays and lower for the weekends. At the time that an application for a subdivision is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro-rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. Projections for Population and Employment If a RM 2400 designation is granted, development of the site with 117 lots would result in an increase of 345 people, based on 2.95 people per household.3 If the site remains as OP, and is developed as an 180,000 square foot office, it can be expected to generate 720 employees based on the ratio of one employee per 250 square feet.

Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 8 Background Terry 1. and Patricia I. Trimble are the owners of the 3.27-acre parcel and are the applicants for the proposed comprehensive plan designation change and zoning designation change. During the selection process by the City Council, the Council directed staff to further evaluate the request and include the two adjoining parcels to the east ofthe Trimble property. The existing use on the Trimble property is one single-family home located on a 3.27-acre lot. The two adjoining lots to the east are both developed with single-family residences and are approximately 0.93 acres and 1.03 acres in size. Each of the three parcels are currently zoned Suburban Estates (SE) requiring a minimum of five acres per dwelling unit. The requested zoning change to RS 35.0 would allow the Trimb1es to subdivide into potentially four lots, although they have expressed intent to subdivide into only two lots in order to retain the character of the immediate neighborhood. Dash Point State Park is located to the west and south. The parcels to the north and east of these parcels are zoned RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet per unit) (Exhibit AE). Prior to the City's incorporation in February 1990, all three parcels were zoned RS 9.6 by King County. Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. Drainage: The site is located within the Lower Puget Sound Basin The site is also located within a Level 1 Flow Control and Resource Stream Protection Area. Development is not proposed in conjunction with the request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation. Any future subdivision of the site will be subject to City regulations. In addition, any water-related impacts will be mitigated in compliance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. Access Existing access to the Trimble and Rowe parcels is from SW 3161h Place at the north. Access to the Harris parcel is from SW 320lh Street to the south. Potential Traffic Impacts If rezoned to RS 35.0, the Trimble parcel could be subdivided, resulting in up to three additional parcels for a total of four parcels. The Rowe and Harris parcels cannot be further subdivided. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation 6th Edition, Land Use Code 210 (Single Family), three additional parcels could generate the following additional trips: 29 daily trips, three weekday evening peak hour trips, two morning peak hour trips, three Saturday peak hour trips, 30 Saturday daily trips, three Sunday peak hour trips, and 26 Sunday daily trips. At the time that an application for a subdivision is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro-rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18, 2007, Pubic Hearing Page 9 Projections for Population and Employment If rezoned to RS 35.0, the Trimble parcel could be subdivided, resulting into up to three additional parcels. Development of the site with three new lots may result in an increase of nine people based on 2.95 people per household. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Language in the Comprehensive Plan Comments There are no known environmentally sensitive areas on this site. However, though the parcels are located within Lakehaven Utility District's corporate boundary, they have not been annexed into Lakehaven's sewer service area and are currently served by individual on-site septic systems. Therefore, the proposed amendment would be consistent with the comprehensive plan description for Single Family Medium Density Residential. Based on language in the comprehensive plan, a designation of Single Family Medium Density creates urban lots with a density range of one to three dwelling units per acre to avoid developing on or near env{ronmentally sensitive areas. Some areas designated as Single Family Medium Density still lack urban services and infrastructure. Public Comments Received The following comment letters were received on the Trimble request: City Council Selection Stage: 1. May 31, 2006, e-mail from Cheryl Harris, owner of parcel #102103-9049, opposing any comprehensive plan amendment and rezone (Exhibit AF). 2. June 1,2006, correspondence from Roger and Carol Reaney opposing the comprehensive plan amendment and rezone based on increased traffic (Exhibit AG). 3. June 5, 2006, e-mail from Doran and Dana Reano opposing the comprehensive plan amendment and rezone based on concerns of loosing the buffer between their home and Dash Point State Park, loss of privacy, and potential impacts on wildlife (Exhibit All). Planning Commission Public Hearing Stage: 1. February 28,2007, Correspondence from Hannah Rowe, owner of parcel #102103-9028, stating that she is in favor of leaving the zoning the way it is (Suburban Estates, one unit per five acres, Exhibit AI). 2. March 8, 2007, e-mail from Cheryl Harris stating that she is against the change in designation. She was concerned about loss of privacy, increased traffic, and increased property taxes (Exhibit Ai). 3. March 20, 2007, e-mail from Cheri Eir stating that she was appealing the comprehensive plan amendments related to the Trimble request on the basis of environmental impacts. Once staff was aware of Ms. Eir's correct e-mail address, she was e-mailed a copy of the environmental documents and was also contacted by the City Clerk bye-mail about how to appeal procedurally; however, she did not submit an appeal by the deadline of 5:00 p.m., April 21, 2007 (Exhibit AK).

During the selection process, the City Council 6This application was received September 30,2004, but was not assigned a file number until later. Planning Commission Memorandum . 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page II directed staff to further evaluate the request and to include the Federal Way Academy parcel (number 926480-0050), a college preparatory school for grades six through ten, located to the south of the Federal Way Associates parcels and also zoned BP. The applicant, John Graham, has requested OP zoning for these two parcels because in his opinion, the BP zoning is too restrictive to support many business park and medical users interested in the area. Presently in the -BP zone, office use may not exceed 50 percent of the total gross floor area of all buildings on any parcel that is two acres or greater in size. Office use may utilize 100 percent of a building located on any parcel that is less than two acres in size, provided that the lot was legally created prior to March 1, 1990, and the applicant has not owned any contiguous lot or lots since March 1, 1990.7 As can be seen on Exhibit AL, the parcel south of the Public Academy, located on the northeastern corner of 9th Avenue Sou,th and South 3481h Street, is zoned OP. Zoning on the west side of91h Avenue is OP and zoning to the north of the two Gramor parcels across South 3441h Street is BP. Parcels east of the Fedway Associates property and the Federal Way Public Academy site are zoned BP to the north and OP to the south. The July 2000 Market Analysis found that between 2000 and 2020, there would be demand for 11 to 13 percent of available BP-zoned land. At that time, there were 203 acres of vacant land in the BP zone, which was equivalent to a demand for 22 to 26 acres over a 20-year period. As of July 2001, the City had approximately 166 acres of vacant BP zoned land and as of February 2006, there were 94 acres of BP-zoned land, much of which is constrained by wetlands. The reduction in the BP-zoned land to a large extent has occurred due to rezoning from BP to another zoning designation and not to development for business park uses. While it appears that there has been limited demand for light manufacturing and warehouse/ distribution development, there is also limited potential to site such development in the City of Federal Way due to diminishing acres of vacant BP-zoned land. During the selection process of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the City Council asked staff to identify text amendments and/or rezones that would improve the market responsiveness of the BP and/or BC zones, based on a consistently low demand for BP-zoned property and high demand for BC-zoned property. In response to the Council's direction, staff is in the process of drafting code amendments that would rename BP zone to "Commercial Enterprise" (CE). This new name will reflect the updated purpose and intent for the CE (former BP) zone, i.e., to increase market-responsiveness by integrating a broad mix of retail, office, and commercial uses, into the industrial uses currently allowed (for which market demand has historically been low and is not forecasted to increase in the future). The proposed amendments would also allow commercial, office, and retail sales and services in the CE (former BP) zone, while continuing to concentrate heavier commercial and industrial uses such as manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, and distribution in the CE zone. If the proposed changes relating to renaming the BP zone to CE and expanding the allowable uses within this zone are approved, office use would be an allowable use on the two Gramor parcels and a rezone to OP would not be necessary. Neither a rezone to OP or CE should affect the Public Academy since public schools are already allowed in either the OP or CE zone. I 7 A code amendment was adopted in July 2003 to allow more additional office use in the BP zone. Prior to the amendment, office development was allowed only as an accessory use. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April] 8,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 12 -' Although development is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action, the applicant has submitted a conceptual plan showing two office buildings totaling 77,500 square feet and 388 parking spaces, at a ratio of one parking space per 200 square feet of office (Exhibit AM). Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. Drainage: The site is located within the Hylebos Creek Basin. It is also located within a Levell Flow Control area and Resource Stream Protection Area. No development is proposed in conjunction with this non-project action. Future development of the site will be subject to environmental review as required by the SEP A Rules, and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans, policies, rules, and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEP A to approve, condition, or deny proposed actions. In addition, any water-related impacts will be mitigated in compliance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. Access The two Fedway Associates parcels and the Federal Way Academy parcel are located to the east of 91h Avenue South across from St Francis Hospital. Access for the Fedway Associates parcels would be from 9th Avenue, although the northern parcel may also be able to obtain access from South 344th Street to the north. The Federal Way Academy parcel currently has access from 91h Avenue South. Potential Traffic Impacts Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation 7th Edition, Land Use Code 710 (General Office), future development of the Gramor site with the requested OP zoning and development of general office use may generate approximately 104 more weekday evening peak hour trips, 92 more morning peak hour trips, 684 mQre weekday daily trips, 103 more Saturday trips, 22 more Saturday peak hour trips, six more Sunday peak hour trips, and five more Sunday daily trips, when compared to a warehouse/distribution use. However, if the proposed use is medical/dental office use (ITE Land Use Code 720) trip generation is significantly higher: approximately 206 more evening peak hour trips, 131 more morning peak hour trips, 2,465 more weekday daily trips, 613 more Saturday trips, 273 more Saturday peak hour trips, 344 more trips during the facility's Saturday peak hour, 26 more Sunday peak hour trips, and 68 more Sunday daily trips, when compared to the previously approved warehouse/distribution use. As part ofthe draft code amendments relating to the BP/CE and BC zones, staff is proposing to increase the parking requirement for medical offices from one parking space per 300 square feet to one parking space per 225 square feet, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation ih Edition. No trip generation has been calculated for the Public Academy site, since the site is already developed as a public school and the use can be expected to continue. At the time that an application to develop the Gramor parcels is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro-rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 13 Supplemental mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. Projections for Population and Employment If an OP designation is granted, development of the site with 77,500 square feet is expected to generate 310 employees based on the ratio of one employee per 250 square feet. If the site remains as BP, and is developed as an 84,500 square foot office, it can be expected to generate 106 employees, based on the ratio of one employee per 800 square feet. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Language in the Comprehensive Plan Comments Page IV -7 of the comprehensive plan states that there has been no substantive business park development since the City's incorporation. This lack of recent business park development suggests the influence of market forces outside of the City limits, where cheaper land and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development. The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from BP to OP is consistent with this statement. The following comment letters were received on the Gramor request: City Council Selection Stage: 1. May 11, 2006, correspondence from Kurt Lauer, Principal of the Public Academy (Exhibit AN). 2.

The underlying 1.33-acre parcel presently has split zoning of PO in the northern portion of the site and BN in the southern portion of the site (Exhibit AS). The Bonney-Watson Funeral Home has been at this location since 1975, prior to incorporation of the City of Federal Way. This portion of the parcel was zoned RM 900-P, with the remainder of the site zoned as BN-P under King County. The King County RM 900-P permitted funeral homes as a conditional use. Funeral homes are not a permitted use in the Federal Way PO zone. In September 2005, the City Council adopted a code amendment to allow funeral homes in the BN zone. Granting a comprehensive plan and zoning designation of Neighborhood Business and BN for this portion of the parcel would allow a nonconforming use to become conforming and eliminate the split zoning of the underlying parcel. Environmental Analysis: Critical Areas: There are no mapped environmental critical areas on the subject site. Drainage: The site is located within the Lower Puget Sound Basin. It is located within a Level 1 Flow Control and Resource Stream Protection Area. Future redevelopment or addition of impervious surface must comply with the standards of the 1998 King County Suiface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18, 2007, Pubic Hearing Page 15 Access The existing funeral home has access from SW Dash Point Road. Potential Traffic Impacts The site is already developed as a funeral home and the change from OP to BN will result in a nonconforming use becoming conforming. Therefore, traffic impacts from the zoning change should be minimal to non-existent. However, if the site were to be redeveloped in the future, or the existing use expanded, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro-rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be required ifthe proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. Projections for Population and Employment The site is already developed as a funeral home and the change from OP to BN will result in a nonconforming use becoming conforming and should not have an impact on number of people employed by the funeral home. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Goal or Policy Comments EDG6 - The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain and/or expand their facilities within Federal Way. This change would not conflict with any goals or policies of the comprehensive plan. The change in designation to BN would make a nonconforming use conforming and would conform to the goal of encouraging and supporting existing businesses to remain and/or expand within Federal Way.

Vilma's Signs is a retail establishment selling signs with accessory sign manufacturing. This use is not allowed in a residential zone but is allowed in the BN zone. There is another nonconforming business, Pat's Plumbing, which provides offsite plumbing services. This use is not allowed in the BN zone. This area is zoned RS 7.2 (Single Family, one unit per 7,200 square feet). As can be seen on Exhibit AT, Vilma's Signs is located on a triangular piece ofland located between 1-5 to the east and Military Road, a principal arterial, to the west. The property directly north of the Taylor parcel has a single-family home on it. There are also residential uses to the west across Military Road. Pat's Plumbing is located across Military Road, to the southwest of the Taylor parcel. Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: There are no mapped critical areas on the Taylor parcel. Drainage: The site is located within the Lower Green River Basin. It is also located within a Levell Flow Control area and Basic Water Quality Area. The subject site is currently developed. Any changes in comprehensive plan designation and zoning should not affect drainage. Redevelopment of the site or the addition of impervious surface must meet the requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the C.ity of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM.

In the application, Mr. Hulsman states that sanitary sewer service has been extended to 2nd A venue South and is available to sustain the rezone to RS 7.2. The site is located on the southwestern corner of SW 3561h Street and 1 sl Avenue South. Parcels to the west and south are also zoned RS 15.0. Parcels to the north across South 3561h are zoned a combination ofRS 9.6 and RS 7.2. Parcels to the east across 1st Avenue South are zoned a mix ofRS 7.2 and RS 15.0. Access to the site would be from both South 3561h Street and Is1 Avenue South. There are presently single-family residences on all of the underlying lots. There is also sing1e- family residential development to the southeast and west. Ilahee Middle School is located to the south, Village Green Retirement homes are located to the north across South 356tl1 Street, and sing1e- family residential uses are located to the east across 1 sl A venue East (Exhibit A U). Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April] 8,2007, Pubic Hearing Page ] 9 Churches are an allowable use in any residential zoning district regardless of the underlying density. Therefore, assuming that the site will be developed with a combination of a church and related uses and a subdivision, with the proportion of the site for each use remaining constant, the differences in impacts would be based solely on the number of lots developed. Development of the site is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action; however, for the purpose of analysis of potential impacts associated with a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation, the applicant has submitted a conceptual plan based on a RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet) zoning designation, which shows development of the site into 30 single-family lots, three buildings, and 619 parking stalls (Exhibit A V). Building A is proposed to be a 41,613 square foot sanctuary, Building B is proposed to be a 29,863 square foot administrative offices and potential school, and Building C is proposed to be a 13,691 square foot recreational bui1ding/ church facility. In comparison, if the zoning remained unchanged at RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet), there could be 19 lots developed and based on a RS 7 .2 (one unit per 7,200 square feet) zoning designation, there could be 40 lots developed. Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: The northern portion of a 0.41 acre Class ill wetland is located on parcel #302104 9036, which abuts 151 A venue South. No development is proposed as part of this non-project action. If future development is proposed within 50 feet of the Class ill wetland, compliance with FWCC Chapter 22, Article XN, "Critical Areas," will be required and such compliance will result in mitigation of any potential adverse impacts. Drainage: The site is located within the Hylebos Creek Basin. It is also located within a Level I Flow Control and Basic Water Quality Treatment Area. Any changes in comprehensive plan designation and zoning will not affect drainage requirements for development. When the site is developed, all requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM shall be met. Access Access to the site is currently from both SW 356th Street and 1 51 Avenue South. Any future development of the site would be reviewed for compliance with applicable City standards. Potential Traffic Impacts There are six existing single-family homes, one on each of the underlying lots. If the site remained RS 15.0, there could potentially be 44 single family lots. The applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan based on RS 9.6 zoning, which shows a 30-10t single family subdivision, three buildings for a church and church-related uses, and 619 parking stalls (Exhibit A U). Building A is proposed to be a 41,613 square foot sanctuary, Building B is proposed to be a 29,863 square foot administrative offices and potential school, and Building C is proposed to be a 13,691 square foot recreational building/church facility. The following table compares the potential traffic impacts based on five scenarios: 1. Existing six single-family dwellings (existing RS 15.0 zoning). 2. Build-out of 44 single-family lots based on existing RS 15.0 zoning. 3.

In addition, as density is increased so would the trips. At the time that an application for development of the site is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro- rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. 9 Building A is proposed to be a 41,613 square foot sanctuary, Building B is proposed to be a 29,863 square foot administrative offices and potentially a school, and Building C is proposed to be a 13,691 square foot recreational building/church facility.

His company, Waller Road Associates II, would like to construct a mixed-use pedestrian friendly urban village, comprised of office, retail, and senior housing. There is a BC zoned parcel (WINCO and associated retail development) to the northwest of this parcel. Although zoned BC, the uses are restricted based on a settlement agreement entered into between the City and the owner and developer (Quadrant Corporation and Western Securities, Ltd) in 1991. This agreement restricts uses to those allowed in the Neighborhood Business (BN) zone. Zoning to the north across South 3481h Street is a mix ofBN, Multifamily (RM 1800), and OP. Zoning to the east is a mix of OP and Suburban Estates (SE - Single Family, one unit per five acres), zoning to the south is OP, and zoning to the west across 1 SI A venue South is Multifamily (RM 2400) (Exhibit A W). The subject property is presently vacant; however, a detention pond and water quality treatment facility has been constructed on site in conjunction with a binding site plan presently pending with the City. Land uses to the north are a mix of office and multifamily apartments. The property to the east is vacant with the Hylebos State Park further to the south. Property to the south is vacant and there are apartments to the west across 1 st A venue South (Exhibit A W). Access is available from both South 3481h Street and 1 st Avenue South. As shown on Exhibit 18, a portion of the Hylebos Wetlands is located on the southeastern portion of the site. Although development is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action, the applicant has submitted a conceptual plan showing an 18,526 square foot general retail building, a 39,870 square foot office building, two buildings with a total of 51 apartments for senior housing, and 311 parking spaces (Exhibit AX). Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April] 8,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 23 Environmental Analysis Critical Areas: There is a category I wetland and wetland buffer extending onto the subject property at the southeastern comer. This Category I wetland is also located within 100 feet of the site on the south and southwest. In addition, there is a major stream located to the southwest of the site. Drainage: The site is located within the Hy1ebos Creek Basin. It is also located within a Level I Flow Control Area and a Resource Stream Protection Area. A stormwater detention and water qual ity facility has been constructed on the site as part of infrastructure iI!lprovements for a pending binding site plan. These improvements have been constructed to the standards of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. The stormwater infrastructure was designed to accommodate 6.54 acres of the 8.58 acre site as impervious. Any changes in comprehensive plan designation and zoning should not have any impact on the percentage of the site that is impervious; therefore, the existing stormwater infrastructure should be adequate. Access The site has access from both 1 51 Avenue South and South 348th Streets. Potential Traffic Impacts Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation 7'1, Edition Land Use Code 252 (Senior Adult Housing - Attached), Code 820 (Shopping Center), and Code 710 (General Office Building), future development of this site with the requested BC zoning and the conceptual site plan may generate approximately 119 more weekday evening peak hour trips, 47 more morning peak hour. trips, 1,154 more weekday daily trips, 1,150 more Saturday trips, 101 more Saturday peak hour trips, 24 more Sunday peak hour trips, and 1,167 more Sunday daily trips, when compared to a previously contemplated use of the site as assisted living and office. At the time that an application to develop the site is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project and the pro-rata share contributions towards transportation projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the TIP. The applicant has the option to have an independent traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures. Projections for Population and Employment If a BC designation is granted, development of the site with a 18,526 square foot general retail building, a 39,870 square foot office building, two buildings with a total of 5 1 apartments for senior housing, and 311 parking spaces is expected to generate 190 employees based on the ratio of one employee per 600 square feet of retail and 250 square feet of office space. A 51 unit senior housing complex would be expected to have 77 residents based on the ratio of 1.5 people per unit. If the site remains as OP and is developed as a 36,800 square foot office and 52 bed assisted living facility, 10 it can be expected to generate 106 employees based on the ratio of one employee per 800 square feet for the office portion. No information is available on the number of employees that may have been employed by the assisted living facility. 10 This is based on a previously approved use for the site based on OP zoning.

The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from OP to BC and development of a mixed-use pedestrian friendly urban village comprised'of office, retail, and senior housing is consistent with this statement. The following comment letter was received on the Waller Road IV request: City Council Selection Stage: I. June 6, 2006 e-mail from Venkata Ramayya (Exhibit AQ). Planning Commission Public Hearing Stage: 1. No public comments were received. VII. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTIONS 22-529 AND 22-530 1. 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. a) The effect upon the physical environment. The requests for comprehensive plan amendments and rezones are non-project actions. Any future development on any of the sites site will be subject to environmental review as required by the SEP A Rules, and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans, policies, rules, and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEP A to approve, condition, or deny proposed actions. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant The underlying Quadrant parcels have slopes, which vary from zero to eight percent over the majority of the site, with the steepest slope of 15 percent in the easterly portion of the site. A wetlands study prepared for a previous development on the site identifies two wetlands on the eastern portion of the site, and a small isolated wetland within the western central portion of the site. Wetland A, located near the center of the site, is approximately 462 square feet and is below the regulatory threshold of the City of Federal Way. Wetlands Band Care located on the eastern portion of the site and a portion of Wetland E is located on the northeastern portion of the site. There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. Request #2 - Trimble Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 25 Request Response Request #3 - Gramor There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The site is already developed with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home and therefore, a change in comprehensive designation and zoning should have no effect on the physical environment. Request #5 - Taylor The site is already developed with a retail sign business and therefore, a change in comprehensive designation and zoning should have no effect on the physical environment. Request #6 - Lifeway Church The northern portion of a 0.41 acre class III wetland is located on parcel #302104-9036, which abuts 1 st A venue South. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates There is a category I wetland and wetland buffer extending onto the subject property at the southeastern comer. This category I wetland is also located within 100 feet of the site on the south and southwest. In addition, there is a major stream located to the southwest of the site. b) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes. The requests for comprehensive plan amendments and rezones are non-project actions and would have no effect on open space, streams, and lakes. None of the sites are adjacent to lakes and only Request #7 (Waller Road IV Associates) is in the vicinity of a stream. Any future development on any of the sites will be subject to environmental review as required by the SEP A Rules, and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans, policies, rules, and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEP A to approve, condition, or deny proposed actions. c) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. The requests for comprehensive plan amendments and rezones are non-project actions. The Bonny Watson and Taylor requests are for already developed sites and therefore, a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation should not impact adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. Any future development on the other sites would have to comply with city regulations related to bulk and scale, landscaping, and design standards, and such compliance should adequately mitigate any potential impact to adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. d) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools. Specific impacts associated with development or redevelopment of the sites affected by the seven requests will be evaluated at the time that a development permit is applied for, and any potential adverse impacts will be mitigated at that time. The Bonny Watson and Taylor parcels are already developed and therefore, changing its comprehensive plan designation and zoning should have no impact on community facilities, including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 26 e) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant Future development of the Quadrant parcels as small lot single family development should benefit the City by providing additional housing opportunities in close proximity to services and transportation. Request #2 - Trimble Of the three parcels that could be affected by this comprehensive plan amendment and rezone, only the Trimble parcel could be further subdivided under RS 35.0 (one unit per 3,500 square feet) zoning. There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels and no compelling reasons to support keeping it at a density of one unit per five acres. Providing increased housing is a benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region. Request #3 - Gramor There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. There has been no substantive BP development since the City's incorporation; therefore, granting a change in designation from BP to OP may result in development of these parcels, which should generate additional employment, thus providing a benefit to the City. Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The site is already developed with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home and the change from OP to BN will result in a nonconfomllng use becoming conforming and eliminate the split zoning of the underlying parcel. This would make any future expansion plans more feasible and encourage the business to remain at its present location, thus providing a benefit to the City. Request #5 - Taylor Vilma's Signs has been in operation since 1993 as a viable retail sign business. If the zoning remains Single Family Residential, the use may continue as a nonconfomllng use; however, granting it a BN designation will make it an allowable use and will encourage the business to remain at its present location, thus providing a benefit to .the City. Request #6 - Lifeway Church Increasing the density of these parcels from RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet) would be a benefit to the City by providing additional opportunities for residential development. Request #7 - Wallet Road IV Associates The request for BC zoning and subsequent development of the site as a mixed-use pedestrian friendly urban village comprised of office, retail, and senior housing would benefit the City and is consistent with the comprehensive plan vision for neighborhood scale retail development accommodated within mixed-use buildings in more concentrated neighborhood villages. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18, 2007, Pubic Hearing Page 27 f) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant Quadrant proposes to build small lot detached development on approximately 19 acres of land. Small lot detached development would be a new type of housing opportunity in Federal Way. It is anticipated that detached dwellings on smaller lots, constructed as a demonstration project incorporating superior design, would appeal to homebuyers. Request #2 - Trimble Of the three parcels that could be affected by this comprehensive plan amendment and rezone, only the Trimble parcel could be further subdivided under RS 35.0 (one unit per 3,500 square feet) zoning. Development at this density would appeal to home buyers desiring to live in an urban area, yet desiring to retain their privacy. There are few parcels oflow density land unencumbered by critical areas within city limits. Request #3 - Gramor The July 2000 Market Analysis found that between 2000 and 2020, there would be demand for 11 to 13 percent of available BP-zoned land. At that time, there were 203 acres of vacant land in the BP zone, which was equivalent to a demand for 22 to 26 acres over a 20-year period. As of July 2001, the City had approximately 166 acres of vacant BP zoned land and as of February 2006, there were 94 acres ofBP-zoned land, much of which is constrail:1ed by wetlands. The reduction in the BP-zoned land to a large extent has occurred due to rezoning from BP to another zoning designation and not to development for business park uses. In addition, the comprehensive plan states that there has been no substantive business park development since the City's incorporation. This lack of recent business park development suggests the influence of market forces outside of the City limits, where cheaper land and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development. Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The site is already developed with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home. Request #5 - Taylor The site is already developed with a retail sign business, Vilma's Signs. Request #6 - Lifeway Church As the price of residential land continues to increase, demand for smaller lots is expected to increase. Moreover, the City is in process of preparing an area-wide comprehensive plan and rezone for this general area. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates The September 2006 South King County Economic Study prepared by Hebert Research, Inc. found that manufacturing jobs are strong in Kent, Auburn, Renton, and Tukwila. Transportation jobs are strong in Kent and retail jobs are strong in Federal Way and Tukwila. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 28 g) The current and projected population density in the area. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant Quadrant proposes to build small lot detached development on approximately 19 acres of land. Small lot detached development would be a new type of housing opportunity in Federal Way. If development occurs based on the submitted conceptual plan (Exhibit AA), a density of approximately six units per acre is anticipated. To the north of the site is a mix of King County Office (O-P) and Multifamily (R-18-P) zoning. To the west of the site is King County Office (O-P) and Business (CB) zoning. To the east is King County Multifamily (R-18-P) zoning and to the south of the site across South 320lh Street is Federal Way Office Park 1 (OP-l) zoning. The existing King County zoning R-18 allows up to 18 units per acre. The Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Sub-Area Plan has adopted RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet) for the area north of these parcels and RM 2400 (one unit per 2,400 square feet) for parcels to the east. The requested RM 2400 designation requested by Quadrant is similar to both the existing King CountyR-18 zoning and the RM 2400 zoning adopted in the P AA Sub-Area Plan. Request #2 - Trimble The existing use on the Trimble property is one single-family home located on a 3.27-acre lot. The two adjoining lots to the east are both developed with single-family residences and are approximately 0.93 acres and 1.03 acres in size. Each of the three parcels are currently zoned Suburban Estates (SE), requiring a minimum of five acres per dwelling unit. The requested zoning change to RS 35.0 would allow the Trimbles to subdivide into potentially four lots, although they have expressed intent to subdivide into only two lots in order to retain the character of the immediate neighborhood. Dash Point State Park is located to the west and south. The parcels to the north and east of these parcels are zoned RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet). Prior to the City's incorporation in February 1990, all three parcels were zoned RS 9.6 by King County. At RS 35.0 zoning, the allowable density on these three parcels under consideration for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone would be approximately 1;3 as dense as the existing RS 9.6 zoned parcels. Request #3 - Gramor Zoning on the west side of 9th Avenue is OP and zoning to the north of the two Gramor parcels across South 344th Street is BP. Parcels east of the GramOf property and the Federal Way Public Academy site are zoned BP to the north and OP to the south. Under the existing BP zoning, the only type of residential allowed is senior housing. The OP zone allows hospitals, convalescent homes, and nursing homes. Theoretically, redesignating these parcels from BP to OP could reduce the amount of potential senior housing; however, there has only been one senior housing developed in the BP zone since incorporation. The City is in the process of reviewing a code amendment that would no longer allow senior housing in BP zoned areas. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 29 Request Response Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The site is already developed with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home. Request #5 - Taylor The site is already developed with a retail sign business, Vilma's Signs~ f!.equest #6 - Lifeway Church There are six existing single family homes, one on each of the underlying lots. If the site remained RS 15.0, there could potentially be 44 single-family lots. Development of the site is not proposed in conjunction with this non-project action; however, for the purpose of analysis of potential impacts associated with a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation, the applicant has submitted a conceptual plan based on a RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet) zoning designation, which shows development of the site into 30 single-family lots, three buildings, and 619 parking stalls (Exhibit A V). Based on the assumption that the site will be developed with a combination of a church and related uses and a subdivision, with the proportion of the site for each use remaining constant, if the zoning remained unchanged at RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet), there could be 19 lots developed and based on a RS 7.2 (one unit per 7,200 square feet) zoning designation, there could be 40 lots developed. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates A conceptual plan (Exhibit AX), submitted by the applicant shows development of the site under Be zoning with a 18,526 square foot general retail building, a 39,870 square foot office building, and two buildings with a total of 51 apartments for senior housing. A 51 unit senior housing complex would be expected to have 77 residents based On the ratio of 1.5 people per unit. A previously submitted plan shows development of the site under OP zoning as a 36,800 square foot office and 52 bed assisted living facility. h) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan. Granting a change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning for any of the seven requests should not affect other aspects of 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: a) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant The request complies with the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) goals and policy and therefore, bears a substarltial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare: Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18, 2007, Pubic Hearing Page 30 Request Response LUG4 - Provide a wide range of housing types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and preferences. HG3 - Develop a comprehensive plan and zoning code that provide flexibility to produce innovative housing solutions, do not burden the cost of housing development and maintenance, and diversify the range of housing types available in the City. HP J 6 - As appropriate, reduce minimum lot sizes to allow construction of smaller, detached single-family houses on smaller lots. Request #2 - Trimble The request complies with the following FWCP statement for the Single Family Medium Density designation and therefore, bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare: "The Single Family Medium Density creates urban lots with a density range of one to three dwelling units per acre to avoid developing on or near environmentally sensitive areas... .Some areas designated as Single Family Medium Density still lack urban service and infrastructure." There are no known environmentally sensitive areas on this site. The proposed amendment would be consistent with the comprehensive plan description for Single Family Medium Density Residential. Request #3 - Gramor The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from BP to OP is consistent with the following FWCP statement and therefore, bears a substantial relatioI1ship to public health, safety, and welfare: "There has been no substantive business park development since the City's incorporation. This lack of recent business park development suggests the influen,ce of market forces outside of the City limits, where cheaper land and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development." Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from PO to BN would make a nonconforming use conforming and would conform with the following FWCP goal and therefore, bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare: EDG6 - The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain and/or expand their facilities within Federal Way. Request #5 - Taylor The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from RS 7.2 to BN would make a nonconforming use conforming and would conform with the following FWCP goal and therefore, bears a. substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare: EDG-6 - The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain and lor expand their facilities within Federal Way. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 3 I Request Response Furthermore, FWCP Policy LUP48 states, "The City shall limit new commercial development to existing commercial areas to protect residential areas." However, the location of this property, located between 1-5 and Military Road, is not consistent with Policy LUP15 of the FWCP, which is to protect residential areas from impacts of adjacent non-residential uses. Request #6 - Lifeway Church The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from RS 15.0 to RS7.2 complies with the following FWCP statement for the Single Family Medium Density designation and therefore, bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare: "The Single Family Medium Density designation creates urban lots with a density range of one to three dwelling units per acre to avoid developing on or near environmentally sensitive areas. Some areas designated as Single Family Medium Density still lack urban services and infrastructure. Upon provision of public services, such as water and sewer, an increase in density may be warranted. " The request complies with this statement as both water and sewer services are available to serve the site. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation from OP to BC complies with the goals of the FWCP related to encouraging economic development and providing a wide variety of retail and services and therefore, bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare. AND b) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city. Please see response under (1), above. c) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements ofRCW 36. lOA and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendment. The proposed amendments are consistent with the following goals ofRCW Chapter 36.70A.020(2) of the Growth Management Act: "(1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. (2) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. (3) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April] 8,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 32 (4) Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities. The amendments are also consistent with goals and policies of the Land Use, Housing and Economic Development Chapters of the City's Comprehensive Plan." VIll. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTION 22-488(c) Site-specific requests are required to be evaluated for compliance with this section. 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; Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant Future development of the Quadrant parcels as small lot single-family development is in the best interests of the residents of the city because it will provide additional housing opportunities in close proximity to services and transportation. Request #2 - Trimble Of the three parcels that could be affected by this comprehensive plan amendment and rezone, only the Trimble parcel could be further subdivided under RS 35.0 (one unit per 3,500 square feet) zoning. There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels and no compelling reasons to support keeping it at a density of one unit per five acres. Providing increased housing is a benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region. Furthermore, prior to the City's incorporation in February 1990, all three parcels were zoned RS 9.6 by King County. Request #3 - Gramor There are no mapped critical areas on the three parcels. There has been no substantive business park development since the City's incorporation; therefore, granting a change in designation from BP to OP may result in development of these parcels, which should generate additional employment, and therefore, it is in the best interests of the residents of the city. Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The site is already developed with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home and the change from OP to BN will result in a nonconforming use becoming conforming and eliminate the split zoning of the underlying parcel. This would make any future expansion plans more feasible and encourage the business to remain at its present location; therefore, it is in the best interests of the residents of the city. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 33 Request Response Request #5 - Taylor Vilma's Signs has been in operation since 1993 as a viable retail sign business. If the zoning remains RS 7.2, the use may continue as a nonconforming use; however, granting it a BN designation will make it an allowable use and will encourage the business to remain at its present location and therefore, it is in the best interests of the residents of the city. Request #6 - Lifeway Church Increasing the density of these parcels from RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet) would be a benefit to the City by providing additional opportunities for residential development; therefore, it is in the best interests of the residents of the city. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates The request for BC zoning and subsequent development of the site as a mixed-use pedestrian friendly urban village comprised of office, retail, and senior housing would benefit the City and is consistent with the comprehensive plan vision for neighborhood scale retail development accommodated within mixed-use buildings in more concentrated neighborhood villages. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the residents of the city. b) The proposed request is appropriate because either: 1. Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest. 11. The change in designation will correct a designation that was inappropriate when it was established. Request Response Request #1 - Quadrant Quadrant applied for an Office Park comprehensive plan designation and zoning for these parcels as part of the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update and was granted these designations per Ordinance 00-372 in September 2000. Since that time East Campus, a corporate park development located south of South 320th Street, has experienced the majority of new office development occurring in Federal Way. Therefore, conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have significantly changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest. Request #2 - Trimble Prior to the City's incorporation in February 1990, all three parcels were zoned RS 9.6 by King County. Therefore, the change in designation will correct a designation that was inappropriately assigned at the time of incorporation. Request #3 - Gramor There has been no substantive business park development since the City's incorporation. On the other hand, the City has been experiencing office construction in this general vicinity; therefore, Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 34 Request Response changed conditions would warrant a rezone from BPto OP. Furthermore, the City is in the process of proposing an area-wide comprehensive plan amendment and rezone for this general area, which includes the Gramor and Public Academy, in order to meet changing market conditions, as indicated by City market studies and by numerous rezone requests, from BP to other zoning designations. Request #4 - Washington Memorial Park The underlying 1.33-acre parcel presently has split zoning of PO in the northern portion of the site and BN in the southern portion of the site. The Bonney-Watson Funeral Home has been at this location since 1975, prior to incorporation of the City of Federal Way. The PO-zoned portion of the parcel was zoned RM 900-P, with the remainder of the site zoned as BN-P under King County. The King County RM 900-P permitted funeral homes as a conditional use. Funeral homes are not a permitted use in the Federal Way PO zone, but are allowed in the BN zone. A change in designation will correct a designation that was inappropriately assigned at the time of incorporation and will make a nonconforming use conforming. Request #5 - Taylor Vilma's Signs is located on a triangular piece ofland located between 1-5, to the east and Military Road, a principal arterial, to the west. In recent years, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has constructed a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane along this stretch ofI-5. This has resulted in 1-5 being widened by approximately 15 feet, bringing traffic closer to the subject site. In order to widen 1-5, trees have been removed, increasing noise impacts. Therefore, conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have significantly changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest. Request #6 - Lifeway Church The Lifeway Church parcels are located south of SW 356th Street and are part of a larger area that was zoned RS 15.0 at the time that the City incorporated in 1990. Since that time, the City has increased density from RS 15.0 to RS 9.6 for two areas, the Silverwood and Brighton Park subdivisions, due in part to the availability of sewer. Water and sewer are now available to the Lifeway parcels and therefore, conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have significantly changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest. Furthermore, the City is in process of preparing an area-wide comprehensive plan and rezone for this general area, which would increase density. Request #7 - Waller Road IV Associates In recent years, that portion of the BC zoned area located between South 3441h and South 356th and Pacific Highway South and 1-5 experienced both new commercial development and redevelopment of existing property. It therefore appears that conditions in the southern portion of the City are changing since this property was given its present zoning so that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest. Planning Commission Memorandum 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 18,2007, Pubic Hearing Page 35 c) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan; Refer to responses to Section 22-530(1), "Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan." d) It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the chapter, including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan; The request for comprehensive plan amendments and rezones are non-project actions. Any future development on the seven sites would be required to comply with all city regulations, including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan. e) It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare, Refer to responses to Section 22-530(1), "Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan." 2. The city may approve an application for a quasi-judicial project related rezone only if it finds that: 1) The criteria in subsection (1) above are met; 2) The proposed project complies with this chapter in all respects; 3) 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; 4) The site plan is designed to minimize impacts upon the public services and utilities. The seven site-specific requests are proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan and not project-related rezones and therefore, the criteria under this section do not apply. IX. ST AFF RECOMMENDATION 1.

Our property is adjacent to Terry and Patricia Trimble at SW 316th Place, also zoned Surburban Estates. We are NOT interested in changing the zoning in any way. Please put a copy of this letter in your file for future references. Thank you, Cheryl A.

We are writing concerning the selection process for the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments. We specifLcally want to address File number 04-103994-UP submitted by Terry and Patricia Trimble. They are requesting the rezoning of the 3.27 acres behind their residence that they own. We understand this is their second time at trying to get the rezoning .changed and that they would like this so they can sell the property. Several homes are proposed to be built on it, with the only way to the property being the right-of way on their property. We feel that the impact of the additional traffic could not be supported by the narrow 55th Ave roadway. [t would increase traffic through our community. We live on a comer lot and see many cars and trucks already going too fast on 3l6th. We have talked with several other neighbors and they feel the same way as we do about the increased traffic this could bring to our neighborhood. Please consider our wishes when you look at their request. Thank you for listening to us and we hope this puts this rezoning request to rest for the last time.

Doran and Dana Reano 31845 54th Ave. SW Federal Way WA. 98023 City of Federal Way/City Council File Number 04-103994-UP I am writing to you in regards to the file #04-103994-UP, which involves the request by Terry al)d Patricia Trimble to change comprehensive plan designation, and zoning of 3.27 acres located south of SW 316th Place. I am fervently opposed to the rezoning of this property for numerous reasons of which I will list henceforth. All of my immediate neighbors back my unyielding opposition to this request. In making the decision to purchase my home five years ago, I researched the zoning currently in place and based my purchase upon it. In my opinion, any change to the zoning would be detrimental to the value of my home and the homes around it, and I believe it would lower the quality of existence through out the neighborhood. The State Park campground lies directly on the other side of this property. While having the park next door brings many advantages, it also brings strangers. During camping season, this land serves as not only a sound barrier but also a buffer zone for our homes. However, even with this buffer we are still able to hear the campers throughout the season and would have low tolerance for less of a sound barrier. Not to mention the fact that as the campers are trying :.M:?r~i~~ICI~~E~J2-~r~.Q ieit~r.. !2_C.~t-~~c-=~~:~.:'~:::~'~-=~=:-~:'~-~~>=~ -'-~.:.~::=--"C'=:~=.~,~~:,~.'"'~.~'~' ':=::'~=".'~ _-- _. ...-.-- .. "'.'~~g.ej-j to escape society, I am sure they would not take pleasure in having the backs of our homes as their view. I enjoy the quiet private location of my home and will do everything in my power to keep it that way. Furthermore, this land is home to an immense wild life population, which would be destroyed if the area were cleared. I strenuously object to the rezoning of this property and would appreciate the city of Federal Way's full support.

Mrs Rowe recently received a letter from the City of Federal Way regarding the City of Federal Way 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments with specific reference to the Trimble request to change from Single- Family Low-Density and Suburban Estates (Single Family, one unit per five acres) to Single-Family Medium-Density and RS 35.0 (Single-Family one unit per 35,000 square feet.) After discussing this matter with Mrs. Rowe, she indicated that she is opposed to making this change. My role in this matter is as a holder of durable power of attorney for Mrs. Rowe. Mrs. Rowe favors leaving the zoning as is. Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing this letter regarding the City of Federal Way 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments with specific reference to the Trimble request to change the Zoning. We are AGAINST this change and would like for the zoning to stay as it is. When I spoke to you earlier you ask me why we were against this change. There are several reasons: (1.) We bought our place because of the zoning and the privacy that we have. We looked for a some time before we found this place. If the zoning changes we could possibly have 4 to 5 homes boarder our property, where now there is only a natural setting. (2.) We are also very concerned about the amount of traffic that this could bring into the neighborhood and it would open up 320th, which is now a dead end, in front of our property. (3.) We are also concerned about Property Taxes going up. We are on a fixed income and any unnecessary property . taxes would not be in our best interest. Just as we knew of the zoning, when we purchased our property, so did the Trimble's. Now that they have decided that they would like it different seems unfair to those of us who prefer it stay as is. Thank you for your consideration. Cheryl Harris & Charles Nurse Exhibit AK March 20, 2007, E-Mail from Cheri Eir : Margaret Clark - Appeal of Proposed DNS for C'omprehensivePlan Amendments Page 1 , From: "cheri eir" <kalanamama@msn.com> To: <margaret.c1ark@cityoffederalway.com>, <gtaI461@ecywa.gov>, <jane461 @ecy.wa.gov> Date: 3/20/2007 9:41:41 AM Subject: Appeal of Proposed DNS for Comprehensive Plan Amendments As we discussed over the phone, I am appealing the Plan Amendments related to File NO.04-1 03994-UP. As per our phone conversation, the Environmental Checklist referred to in the notice was to be emailed to me for my review and was not. Developing this property immediately adjacent to the State's Dash Point State Park will have negative Environmental Impacts, whether or not these are sufficiently mitigated is the question. As you and I also discussed, City Planners issued the DNS without the assistance of adequately trained Environmental Professionals. When asked who your contact at DOE is for example, you'stated that you don't have one, you just send a copy of your proposal "general delivery". This is not a review of potential environmental consequences for the development of this sensitive property, and appears to be an attempt to harm the environment and encourage development regardless of consequence, in violation of RCW43.21 C.030(2)(c). As the property in question is NOT POSTED, and I did not become aware of the proposed DNS until yesterday, and, as your deadline for appeals is tomorrow, I appreciate your timely attention to these matters. Hopefully, the City will work with the State and the Community to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the above referenced property.

Medical Real Estate Services, LLC 105 Central Way, Suite 203 Kirkland, WA 98033 5 June 2006 Margaret Clark Senior Planner City of Federal Way Re: Rezone-File Number 06-100593 Dear Margaret: I am writing on behalf of Medical Real Estate Services, LLC. Weare the property owner of the Medical Pavilion located at 34503 9th Avenue S. in Federal Way. Having received notice of the request for a rezone of the property located at 344th and 9th Avenue S., file number 06-100593, I would like to share a couple of concerns. First of all, the switch from BP to OP allows the property owner to build more office space on the site. As I understand it, the proposed nature of the office space would be medical. Currently, Federal Way zoning for OP requires 1 parking space for every three hundred square feet of office space. The reality is that medical office space will use 5 parking spaces for every 1000 square feet of space. Given that this proposed development is right across the street from our property, we have concerns that this could negatively impact our property in a very substantial way with the possibility of parking encroachment and the potential necessity for financially prohibitive parking enforcement to insure parking for our tenants and their patients and guests. Secondly, there is currently a substantial amount of traffic traveling on 9th Avenue S., and we are concerned that this street and the surrounding streets were not planned with this level of traffic in mind. We have concerns about the patients and the employees of our medical practices being able to travel in a safe and timely manner to and from our building in the likely event that the street should become overused. i Thank you for taking the time to speak with Wade Moberg and myself today, and for the :_~~~g.~E~I~l~ri{:~~FaiTI<i 'D~v.~: ~~~~~==~~_,~__~:=:=~~ . .. ,_~"'c_..'-:~:,~_=~:",~,"",_~:',. :"'~~~~::=_~,,,_:=~,~~~ ~~:.:~ ?~g,~"?j opportunity to submit this letter voicing our concerns.

I have a few reservations and comments on Requests 3, 4, 9, 10 and 12, since all of the areas referenced in these items are in the catchment area of the Hylebos Wetlands in Federal Way. . I am resident and owner of the property at 35905, 3rd Avenue SW, one of the properties adjacent to that mentioned in Request 10 for the past nearly 26 years, and have seen the gradual degradation of the Wetlands due to the increase development density. All the developments that have taken place West of 1st Ave S between 356th and 348th and North of 348th and South of 356th have essentially contributed to large oily runoffs from the parking lots into the Wetlands. In some instances it has resulted in the flooding and closing of 1 st Ave S between 348th and 356th, and also of 356th between 1st Ave S and the Highway 99. Recently, I saw signs of new developments and constructions to the West of Highway 99 between 348th and 356th. With these developments and increase in densities proposed in Requests 3,4, 9,10 and 12 will only add to the rate of deterioration of the Hylebos Wetlands and their ultimate destruction. Also, the existing green spaces for resident and migratory wild-life that make Federal Way the last sanctuary for wild-life in the King County-Pierce County area will become a high-density human-occupied wasteland. To provide a sanctuary for wild-life we acquired land adjacent to and to the West of our property, and left half of original acreage and the acquired piece of land undisturbed. f hope the City of Federal Way will also take into account the long-term value of the increasingly scarce low-density residential areas, and not put too much weight on the short-term tax gain provided by increasing the residential density. These increases most certainly will cause long-term irreversible damage to the Quality of Life in Federal Way. The following link takes you to one of the many System Dynamics Modeling Methodology Websites: <<http://www.albany.edu/cpr/sds/>. The City of Federal Way may want to look at this and other sites that have applications of the methodology to reat-life issues and consider using the methodology routinely to determine long-term effects of policies and decisions. I am also providing a link to Prof. Jay Forrester's W ebsite < <http://sysdyn.c1exchange.org/people/jay-forrester.html> , where one can access some of his papers. Not only has Prof. Jay Forrester invented the concept of applying engineering principles to social, economic and other complex systems nearly 50 years ago, he currently focuses on teaching the concepts of System Dynamics in K-12 L~!].F.6~T~I~~~:~.p'~rtOO 1 '- - """,--,~-,~"""','''''''-'-''.'''--'' .'-.'"""". -..;.- .' ;"'" -.--,,~ ,",'" ,...~.".~..'~.'".'-..".-,~_....-.....~-~. ......;.,.

If the City of Federal Way is interested, I can volunteer my Systems Engineering Skills and Knowledge to review any Comprehensive Development Plans that the City may develop in the future and provide references to help the City retain its Quality of Life.

We are opposed to the 4th item, file # 06- 100593-UP, listed in the City Council Notice and request that you submit this letter to the City Council for consideration. Our opposition to amendin~ the comprehensive ~lan designation and zoning for approximately 4.4 acres located south of South 344t Street and east of 9t A venue South from Business Park (BP) to Office Park (OP) is threefold; we are concerned with potential parking problems, traffic volumes on 9th Avenue and maintaining a reasonable amount of warehouse zoning. As we have learned from leasing signs posted on this property, Gramor Development is planning on developing medical/dental office buildings on this site. We are very concerned with the minimum parking requirements of 1 stall per every 300 sq. ft. under OP. MedicallDental development usually requires at a minimum 1 stall per every 200 sq. ft. If the developer does plan for the minimum parking ratio allowed under code, they will experience parking storage that may spill onto our hospital campus. We would be very concerned for any patients attempting to cross 9th Avenue and the obvious parking issues we would experience on our campus. It is our experience that OP developments can and will generate more vehicular trips than a BP development. 9th Avenue is already very congested and changing the zoning from BP to OP will only exacerbate the problem. Finally, BP zoning plays an important role in any city development. The hospital is concerned with the recent trend of changing BP zoning to OP throughout the city. The fact that St. Francis Hospital is adjacent to a BP zone is and can be advantageous for medical warehousing or other medical related light industrial opportunities.

JOSEPH MEDICAL CENTER . FRANCISCAN FOUNDATION FRANCISCAN MEDICAL GROUp. PHYSICIAN/HEALTH SYSTEM NETWORK . FRANCISCAN CARE CENTER AT TACOMA It is our understanding that under the current BP zoning designation, 50% of the development on this property could be dedicated to MedicaVDental office. Given this information, our concerns mentioned above and the fact that the Land Use Committee will be addressing revising the BP zoning, we request that at this time the City Council not approve this change.
