PUBLIC COMMENT None 4. BUSINESS ITEMS A. Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Phase III (Dash Pt Rd to S 284th SO Improvement Proiect Bid Award Brian Roberts provided the background information on this item. Council Member Burbidge asked if there was the possibility of planting trees or vegetation, such as ivy, to cover the wall in lieu of a concrete fascia in order to save money. Mr. Roberts commented that the plans for Phase III call for a three-foot-wide planter strip at the base of the wall. Sunset Maple trees will be planted here and will eventually provide some visual screening. Mr. Roberts gave further input that the wood used for this type of wall is treated with an arsenic base. To further consider a vining material such as ivy, a botanist should be consulted to see which varieties may be best suited in this environment. Committee Chair Dovey, in speaking to Committee Member Faison, expressed that he was not opposed to transferring.funds from the S 320lh Street at Is1 Ave S Intersection Improvement Project to the SR 99 HOV Lanes Phase III Project. Committee Member McColgan asked for clarification as to the source of $2 million dollars of discretionary funding proposed for this project. Mr. Roe responded that the City Council approved a $1 million transfer from the S 320th St at 1 sl Ave S Project to the S 352nd St; SR 9 9to SR 161 Project, as well as a $1 million base budget in the 2007/2008 Budget cycle for the S 352nd St Project (totaling $2 million). The S 352nd St Project will remain in the TIP but currently has no funding. Alternate sources of funding will need to be explored. Council Member Kochmar asked for clarification of associated project costs (ROW acquisition, underground utility conversion, construction mgmt, etc.) and when Council would approve funding for these costs. Mr. Roe answered that all right of way acquisition, underground conversion and design have already been approved through LUTC and Council. It was noted that if the project is constructed with a concrete wall fascia, there will be continuity from S 272nd Street to S 284th Street. Council Member Kochmar inquired to any previous problems the City may have had in dealing with SCI Infrastructure, L.L.C. Mr. Roe responded that our past experience with SCI Infrastructure, L.L.c. has been positive. Committee Chair Dovey asked if the surface of the concrete fascia will be graffiti proof. Mr. Roe explained that a sealant will be used on the wall that will provide added protection and will help with cleaning graffiti, but is definitely not graffiti proof. The "fractured fm" finish of the wall is not a smooth finish and should also help deter tagging. The City is also pursuing another product (cost dependent) that may be able to be pressure washed, thus removing graffiti more easily. Moved: Dovey .

No. 07- , Page I WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the Code Amendments on March 14, 2007, and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS, the Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTe) of the Federal Way City Council considered the Code Amendments on April 16, 2007, following which it recommended adoption of the text amendments; and WHEREAS, the Federal Way City Council considered the Code Amendments on May 1, 2007; and WHEREAS, the Federal Way City Council finds that the code amendments to allow zero-lot line townhouse development in the RS 5.0 residential zone and the multifamily zones, and allow small lot detached development in multifamily zones as an innovative housing demonstration project, along with the numerous housekeeping amendments, are consistent with the intent and purposes of FWCC Chapter 22 ("Zoning"), to provide for and promote the health, safety, and welfare of the general public. Now, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Findings. After full and careful consideration, the City Council of the City of Federal Way finds that the proposed Code Amendments will protect and will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare. Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to FWCC Sections 22~216 and 22-528, and based upon the Findings set forth in Section 1, the Federal Way City Council makes the folloWing Conclusions of Law with respect to the decisional criteria for adoption of the proposal: 1. The proposed amendments are consistent with, and substantially implement, the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies: 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 5 - Review zoning, subdivision and development regulations to ensure that they further housing policies and don't create unintended barriers. This is of particular importance for small lot and cottage housing developments. In order to facilitate small lot and cottage Ord. No. 07- , Page 2 housing developments, it is particularly important to revise, as neceSSQfY, the subdivision and development regulations that govern their development. HP 16 - As appropriate, reduce minimum lot sizes to allow construction of smaller, detached single-family houses on smaller lots. HP 17 - Increase capacity and encourage greater diversity of housing types and costs for both infill and new development through various methods, such as inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, transfer of development rights, cluster housing, cottage housing, garden housing, duplexes and low to moderate density housing types. HP22 - Periodically review and update development regulations to incorporate opportunities for new housing types. 2. The proposed amendrnents bear a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare because they facilitate the development of additional housing types within the City with a focus on homeownership opportunities. These additional housing types would be permitted within a framework of existing density and development standards currently applied to residential development in the City's Multifamily Residential (RM) and Single Family Residential 5.0 (RS 5.0, one unit per 5,000 square feet) zoning districts. And 3. The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City because they would provide additional home ownership opportunities by providing for fee-simple townhouse development and single-family housing on smaller lots in high-density residential zones. Section 3. Small Lot Detached Innovative Housing Demonstration Projects. The City Council has determined that it is in the public's interest to allow only a limited number of small lot detached developments in multifamily zoning districts as demonstration projects. The City shall limit the number of small lot detached housing demonstration projects to a maximum of two. Demonstration projects will be selected, at the Director of Community Development Services' discretion, using the selection guidelines detailed below in section 4. After the second demonstration project has been approved and at least 50 percent of the dwelling units constructed and approved for occupancy by the City's building division, the code amendments relating to allowing small lot detached development in multifamily residential zones adopted in Section 5 below may remain in place with no demonstration project requirement. If, however, the City Council determines, based on evaluation of the demonstration projects, that the code amendments are not in the public's best interest, the City Council may amend or repeal the small lot detached housing development code provisions. Ord. No. 07- , Page 3 Section 4. Small Lot Detached Development Selection Criteria. The City shall use a competitive selection process to determine' which small lot detached housing developments shall move forward through the permitting process. The City may approve up to two small lot detached housing developments pursuant to this ordinance. Applications for small lot detached housing developments shall be docketed and submitted on a schedule determined by the Director of Community Development Services. The Director of Community Developrnent Services shall have the discretion to determine which applications, if any, will be selected for submission as formal applications based on the code and the following criteria: (a) Consistency with the small lot detached housing subdivision design criteria and development standards as specified in the code. (b) Demonstration that the project has been designed with sensitivity to adjacent properties and with regard to impacts associated with parking, building height, building bulk, lot coverage, setbacks, screening, open space, and aesthetics. (c) Demonstration that the project will result in a highly attractive environment, which incorporates a high level of quality throughout the development, including but not limited to the following areas: I. Architectural design 2. Building materials 3. Overall site design 4. Common and private open space areas The Director may select, select with modifications, or deny an application. The decision by the Director of Community Development Services selecting small lot detached housing developments to advance to the formal submittal phase shall be in writing and shall be the final decision of the City. Section 5. Amendment. FWCC Chapter 18 is amended as set forth in the attached Exhibit A, Chapter 20 is amended as set forth in the attached Exhibit B, and Chapter 22 is amended as set forth in the attached Exhibits C-S. Ord. No. 07- , Page 4 Section 6. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are declared separate and severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or portion of this ordinance, or the invalidity of the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance, or the validity of its application to any other persons or circumstances. Section 7. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of this ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed. Section 8. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be effective five (5) days after passage and publication as provided by law.

(b) The city shall limit planned actions to certain types of development or to specific geographical areas that are less extensive than its jurisdictional boundaries. (c) The city may limit a planned action to a time period identified in the EIS or the designating ordinance orresolution adopted under FWCC 18-75. (Ord. No. 04-468, 9 3,11-16-04) .18-75 Ordinances or resolutions designating planned actions - Procedures for adoption. (a) The city must designate a planned action by ordinance or resolution. Public notice and opportunity for public comment shall be provided as part of the agency's process for adopting the ordinance or resolution. (b) The ordinance or resolution: (1) Shall describe the type(s) of project action being designated as a planned action; (2) Shall describe how the planned action meets the criteria in FWCC 18-74 (including specific reference to the EIS that addresses any significant environmental impacts of the planned action); (3) Shall include a finding that the environmental impacts of the planned action have been identified and adequately addressed in the EIS, subject to project review under FWCC 18-76; and (4) Should identify any specific mitigation measures other than applicable development regulations that must be applied to a project for it to qualify as the planned action. (c) If the city has not limited the planned action to a specific tirne period identified in the EIS, it may do so in the ordinance or resolution designating the planned action. (d) The city is encouraged to provide a periodic review and update procedure for the planned action to monitor implementation and consider changes as warranted. (Ord. No. 04-468, 93, 11-16-04) 18-76 Planned actions - Project review. (a) Review of a project proposed as a planned action is intended to be simpler and more focused than for other projects.

Planned action project review shall include: (1) Verification that the project meets the description in, and will implement any applicable conditions or mitigation measures identified in, the designating ordinance or'resolution; and (2) Verification that the probable significant adverse environmental impacts of the project have been adequately addressed in the EIS prepared under FWCC 18-74(a)(2) through review of an environmental checklist or other project review form as specified in WAC 197-11-315, filed with the project application. (b)(I) If the project rneets the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, the project shall qualify as the planned action ~esignated by the city, and a project threshold determination or EIS is not required.

(2) If the project does not meet the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, the project is not a planned action and a threshold determination is required. In conducting the additional environmental review under this chapter, the lead agency may use information in existing environmental documents, Exhibit I, FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection" Page 2 including the EIS used to designate the planned action (refer to WAC 197-11-330(2)(a) and 197-11-600 through 197-11-635). Ifan EIS or SEIS is prepared on the proposed project, its scope is limited to those probable significant adverse environmental impacts that were not adequately addressed in the EIS used to designate the planned action. (c) Public notice for projects that qualify as planned actions shall be tied to the underlying permit. If notice is otherwise required for the underlying permit, the notice shall state that the project has qualified as a planned action. If notice is not otherwise required for the underlying permit, no special notice is required. However, the city is encouraged to provide some form of public notice as deemed appropriate. (Ord.

The determination of exemption shall be final and not subject to administrative review. The procedural requirements of this article shall not apply to proposals or licenses which are determined to be exempt, nor shall an environmental checklist be required to be completed. (b) In determining whether a proposal is exempt the responsible official shall make certain the proposal is properly defined and shall identify the governmental license required. If the proposal includes exempt and nonexernpt actions, the responsible official shall determine the lead agency for the nonexempt action. (c) If a proposal includes both exempt and nonexempt actions, the city may authorize exempt actions prior to completion of the procedural requirements of this article, except that: (1) The city shall not give authorization for any action that is nonexempt, any action that would have an adverse environmental effect, or any action that would limit the choice of reasonable alternatives; (2) The city may withhold approval of an exempt action that would lead to modifications of the physical environment serving no purpose if the nonexempt actions were not approved; (3) The city may withhold approval of exempt actions that would lead to substantial financial expenditures by a private applicant when the expenditures would serve no purpose if the nonexempt actions were not approved. (Ord. No. 90-40, S 1(20.100.10 - 20.100.30),2-27-90; Ord. No. 04-468, S 3,11-16- 04) 18-78 Threshold determination - Early review at conceptual level. (a) When the city's only action on a proposal is a decision on a building permit or other permit that requires detailed project plans and specifications, the applicant may request in writing that the city conduct an environmental review prior to submission of the plans and specifications. In addition to the required environmental docurnents, the applicant shall submit any additional information as determined by the responsible official.

(c) The responsible official's response to the request for early notice may: (1) State whether the city currently considers issuance of a determination of significance likely and, if so, indicate the general or specific areas of concern that are leading the city to consider a determination of significance and whether any additional information is needed. The responsible official . may also indicate that with the approval of the applicant, a determination of significance would be issued and scoping initiated. Page 3 Exhibit 1, FWCC Chapter IS, "Environmental Protection" (2) State that the applicant may change or clarify the proposal to mitigate the indicated impacts, and may revise the environmental checklist and/or proposal as necessary to reflect the changes or clarifications. (d) The city's written response to a request for early notice shall not be construed as a determination of significance or nonsignificance.

(3) Any person, affected tribe, or agency may submit comments to the lead agency within 14 days of the date of issuance of the DNS. (4) The date of issue for the DNS is the date the DNS is sent to the Department of Ecology and agencies with jurisdiction and is made publicly available. (5) An agency with jurisdiction may assume lead agency status only within this 14-day period (WAC 197-11-948). (6) The responsible official shall reconsider the DNS based on timely comments and may retain or modify the DNS or, if the responsible official determines that significant adverse impacts are likely, withdraw the DNS or supporting documents. When a DNS is modified, the lead agency shall send the modified DNS to agencies with jurisdiction. Exhibit I, FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection" Page 4 (c)( I) The lead agency shall withdraw a DNS if: a. There are substantial changes to a proposal so that the proposal is likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts; b. There is significant new information indicating, or on, a proposal's probable significant adverse environmental impacts; or . . c.

(2) If the city indicated areas of concern, but did not indicate specific mitigation measures, the city shall issue a determination of nonsignificance or determination of significance as appropriate. (3) The applicant's proposed clarification, changes, mitigations or other conditions must be specific and presented in writing. (b) Mitigation measures justifying issuance of a mitigated determination of nonsignificance may be incorporated in the determination of nonsignificance by reference to agency staff reports, studies or other documents. (c) Mitigation measures incorporated in the mitigated determination of nonsignificance shall be conditions of approval of the permit and may be enforced in the same manner as any conditions of the permit, or any other manner as prescribed by the city, Failure to comply with the designated mitigation measures shall be grounds for suspension and/or revocation of any license issued. (d) The city shall not act upon a proposal for which a mitigated determination of nonsignificance has been issued until the appeal period has expired. (e) If the city's tentative decision on a permit or approval does not include mitigation measures that were incorporated in a mitigated determination of nonsignificance for the proposal, the city should evaluate the threshold determination to assure consistency with WAC 197 -11-340(3)(a) relating to the withdrawal ofa determination of non significance.

If the city determines that the location, quality, or extent of the required project open space, particularly on smaller plats, short plats, or other divisions of land, would not fulfill the intent or purpose of useful common open space, a payment of an equivalent fee-in-lieu of the required proiect open space shall be paid. The fee-in-lieu of open space shall be calculated on 15 percent of the most recent assessed value of the property. In the absence of an assessment, the market value shall be based on an appraisal conducted by a MAl certified appraiser or another professional appraiser approved by the parks director If the applicant offers to pay money in lieu of open' space, and if the city accepts the offer, the amount shall be determined based upon the square footage of open space which otherwise would have been required to be provided, times the then current market value per square foot of similarly situated property. ,^~nd except feF For lots within an existing subdivision, where open space was already dedicated or a fee-in-lieu paid, the percent of open space required will be the difference between the open space dedicated prior and 15 percent. Any fees collected shall be utilized within the park comprehensive plan planning area that the subject property falls within, unless the applicant by voluntary agreement directs the expenditures of such fees in a different planning area. Open space created through small lot detached development shall be protected from further subdivision or development by covenants filed and recorded with the final plat of the subdivision.

(1) An evaluation of whether the area in question is a regulated wetland, based on the definition of "regulated wetland" in FWcc 22-1. (2) An overview of the methodology used to conduct the study. (3) A description of the wetland and plant communities found therein, a map delineating the edge of the wetland and location of plant communities, and a detailed description of the method used to identify the wetland edge. . (4) The wetland classification, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service "Classification of Wetlands and Deep Water Habitats in the U.S." (5) A list of observed plant and wildlife species, using both scientific and common names, and a description of their relative abundance. (6) A list of potential plant or animal species based on signs or other observation. Exhibit 10, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Critical Areas Page I 2 (7) An evaluation and assessment of the existing or potential functions and values of the wetland based on the following factors: surface water control; wildlife habitat; pollution and erosion control; groundwater exchange; open space and recreation; and educational and cultural opportunities. (c) Drainage facilities. Surface water ponds, drainage ditches, and other such facilities which were designed to impound or convey water for an engineered purpose are not considered regulated wetlands under this article provided they meet all of the following criteria: (1) The drainage facility must have been intentionally human created. This is to differentiate from those wetland sites that are accidental consequences of development actions, such as road construction or culvert placement. Such sites may be considered regulated wetlands by the director upon a review, under subsection (b)(7) of this section, ofthe ecological functions and values of the site. (2) The drainage facility must have been originally constructed on uplands (nonwetland areas). If the drainage facility is located within a straightened, channelized, or otherwise disturbed natural watercourse, it may be considered a regulated wetland by the director upon a review, under subsection (b)(7) of this section, of the ecological functions and values of the site. (3) The facility must be actively operated as a surface water drainage facility. Abandoned drainage facilities may be considered regulated wetlands by the director upon a review, under subsection (b)(7) of this section, of the ecological functions and values of the site. (4) Wetland conditions have not expanded beyond the originally constructed drainage facility boundary. In such a case the expanded area may be considered a regulated wetland by the director upon review, under subsection (b )(7) of this section, of the ecological functions and values of the site. (5) The drainage facility was not designed or constructed as a requirement to mitigate previous wetland impacts. (6) The director finds that limited ecological functions and values do not warrant application of the city's wetland regulations. (Ord. No. 90-43, S 2(80.]45), 2-27-90; Ord.

Through process III, the applicant must Exhibit 10, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Critical Areas Page I 5 demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director of community development that the proposed buffer averaging will meet all of the following criteria: (I) Reduced buffers will not affect the water quality entering a wetland or stream; (2) Reduced buffers will not adversely affect the eXIsting quality of wildlife habitat within the wetland or the buffer; (3) Reduced buffers will not result in unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and (4) Reduced buffers will not be detrimental to any other public or private properties, including the loss of open space. At no point shall the buffer width be reduced to less than 50 percent of the required standard buffer width, unless the buffer, in existing conditions, has already been permanently eliminated by previous, legally permitted actions. The total area contained within the buffer after averaging shall be equal to the area required for standard buffer dimensions. (c) Essential public facilities, public utilities and other public improvements. The director of community development may permit the placement of an essential public facility, public utility or other public improvements in a regulated wetland buffer if he or she determines that the line or improvement must traverse the buffer because no feasible or alternative location exists based on an analysis of technology and system efficiency. The specific location and extent of the intrusion into the buffer must constitute the minimum necessary encroachment to meet the requirements ofthe public facility or utility. (d) Minor improvements. Minor improvements such as footbridges, walkways and benches may be located within the buffer from a regulated wetland if approved through process III, based on the following criteria: (1) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality ofthe wetland's or buffer's wildlife habitat; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; 'and (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole. (e) Buffer reduction. Through process III, the director of community development may reduce the standard wetland buffer width by up to 50 percent, but in no case to less than 25 feet, on a case-by-case basis, if the project includes a buffer enhancement plan which utilizes appropriate native vegetation and clearly substantiates that an enhanced buffer will improve and provide additional protection of wetland functions and values, and where one of the following conditions can be demonstrated: (l) Existing conditions are such that the required .standard buffer exists in a permanently altered state (e.g., roadways, paved parking lots, permanent structures, etc.) which does not provide any buffer function, then the buffer can be reduced for that portion where the intrusions are existing. (2) Except for Category I wetlands, existing conditions are such that the wetland has been permanently impacted by adjacent development activities, as evidenced by such things as persistent human alterations or the dominance of non-native invasive species. (3) A project on an existing single-family lot platted prior to the incorporation of the city, where imposition of the standard buffer would preclude reasonable use of the lot. The director shall have the authority to determine if buffer averaging is warranted on the subject property and, if so, may require additional buffer area on other portions of the perimeter of the sensitive area. (f) Modification. Other than as specified in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the city may approve any request to locate an improvement or engage in land surface modification within the buffer from a regulated wetland through process IV, based on the following criteria: (I) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of the wetland's or buffer's wildlife habitat; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; Exhibit 10, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Critical Areas Page 16 (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole, including the loss of open space. Any modification under this subsection shall not reduce the standard buffer by more than 50 percent, and in no case shall the remaining buffer be less than 25 feet. The city may require, as a condition to any modification granted under this subsection, preparation and implementation of a wetland buffer enhancement plan to protect wetland and buffer functions and values. (g) Revegetation. The applicant shall stabilize all areas left exposed after land surface modification with native vegetation normally associated with the buffer. (h) Buffer increases. The director shall require increased environmentally sensitive area buffer widths on a case-by-case basis when the director determines that a larger buffer is necessary to protect environmentally sensitive area functions, values or hazards based on site-specific conditions. This determination shall be supported by appropriate documentation showing that additional buffer width is reasonably related to protection of environmentally sensitive area functions and values, or protection of public health, safety and welfare. Such determination shall be attached as permit conditions. The determination shall demonstrate that at least one of the following factors are met: (l) There is habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered by state or federal agencies present within the sensitive area and/or its buffer, and additional buffer is necessary to maintain viable functional habitat; (2) There are conditions or features adjacent to the buffer, such as steep slopes or erosion hazard areas, which over time may pose an additional threat to the viability of the buffer and/or the sensitive area. In such circumstances the city may choose to impose those buffers, if any, associated with the condition or feature posing the threat in addition to, or to a maximum, beyond the buffer required for the subject sensitive area.

If the 25 percent threshold is exceeded, public improvements will be required under S 22-1474 to the extent they are commensurate with the impacts of the development, as determined by the director. (2) The applicant need not comply with the provisions of this article if, within the immediately preceding four years, public improvements were installed as part of any subdivision or discretionary land use approval under this or any prior zoning code. (3) The applicant need not comply with the provisions of this article if the proposal is to locate a personal wireless services facility (PWSF) on the subject property. (4) The applicant need not comply with the provisions of this article if the proposal is for facade improvements only. In addition, the cost of improvements required by Article XIX, Community Design Guidelines, shall not be included in the total cost of improvements measured over a 12-month period pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of this section. (5) Tenant improvements, unless the proposed improvements add additional floor area. (6) If the required improvement is part of a larger project that has been scheduled for construction in the city's adopted six-year transportation improvement program, the public works director may permit the applicant to fulfill the applicant's obligation under this section by paying to the city the pro rata share of Exhibit 12, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XVI, Improvements (Street Standards) Page 2 the costs of the required improvements attributable to the development of the subject property, as determined by the public works director. For purposes of determining the applicant's pro rata share, funds received by the city from any federal, state, or local grant for the project shall be excluded from the total cost ofthe planned six-year transportation improvement. (b) Right-of-way adjacent to and within subdivisions and short subdi':isions land divisions must be dedicated and improved consistent with the requirements of this article, unless different requirements are imposed by the city as part of the subdivision or short subdivision land division approval process.

(c) Authority to require dedication. If a right-of-way abutting the subject property has inadequate width based on the requirements in FWcc 22-1523 through 22-1528, the applicant shall dedicate a portion of the subject property parallel to the right-of-way and equal in width to the difference between the present right-of-way width and the width required by FWcc 22-1523 through 22-1528 for that right-of-way. The public works director may waive additional dedication or may permit dedication of a lesser amount of the subject property for additional right-of-way width if: (1) It is likely to anticipate that, within the near future, the private property across the right-of-way will be required to dedicate property for public right-of-way; or (2) The reduction in the required right-of-way width will nonetheless provide adequate room for all improvements, infrastructure and functions within the right-of-way. For the purpose of determining the rough proportionality of right-of-way dedication to the development's impacts, the city may require up to 300 square feet of right-of-way dedication per average daily trip generated by the development. All dedications under this subsection shall be by conveyance through a statutory warranty deed. (d) Partial right-of-way improvements. Where a right-of-way abutting the subject property does not, even after dedications required under subsection (c) of this section, contain adequate width to install all of the improvements required within that right-of-way under this article, the applicant shall install improvements within the right-of-way which will provide a safe and efficient right-of-way and which will facilitate completion of all right-of-way improvements required in this article at a later date.

Encouraging signs that are appropriate and consistent with surrounding buildings and . landscape in both scale and design, appropriate to the size of the subject property and the amount of street frontage adjacent to the subject property, and appropriate in relationship to the size of the building; and b. Discouraging excessive numbers of signs; (3) Protect the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating the placement, removal, installation, maintenance, size, and location of signs; (4) Support and enhance the economic well-being of all businesses within the city, and in particular recognize the needs of all businesses to identify their premises and advertise their products; . (5) Assure equal protection and fair treatment under the law through consistent application of the regulations and consistent enforcement; (6) Provide consistency with the comprehensive plan; (7) Recognize that the aesthetic value of the total environment does affect economic values of the community, and that the unrestricted proliferation of signs' can and does detract from the economic value of the community; (8) Provide controls on sign proliferation to preserve community scenic, economic, and aesthetic values; and (9) Provide for the elimination of billboard signs after a reasonable amortization period recognizing that billboards affect the aesthetic value of the community thereby reducing property values and impacting traffic safety because of the distraction that is created by large signage along public rights-of- way.

Sign base. The base of the sign must be done in landscape construction materials such as brick, stucco, stonework, textured wood, tile or textured concrete or materials that are harmonious with the character of the primary structures on the subject property and subject to the administrator's approval. No visible gap shall be allowed between the sign base and the finished grade or between the sign face or cabinet and the sign base. b. Sign face. The color, shape, material, lettering and other architectural details of the sign face must be harmonious with the character of the primary structure. (4) Minor deviations.

This landscaping must include vegetation and may include other materials and components such as brick or concrete bases as evidenced in plazas, patios and other pedestrian areas, planter boxes, pole covers or decorative framing. Landscaping can include evergreen shrubs, deciduous shrubs, vines, and grouI).dcover or grasses. If low shrubs and groundcover are to be used, at the time of planting, a minimum of 50 percent of the required landscaped area should be planted with low shrubs and groundcover such that within two years, 90 percent of the landscaped area is covered. If all grasses are to be used, the landscaped area must be covered 100 percent at time of planting. Low maintenance plantings are recommended. Alternative landscape plans may be submitted in writing and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. These may include, but are not limited to, existing plantings in the ,area of the sign or landscaping required to be provided under Article XVII, Landscaping, of this chapter. (f) Illumination limitations of electrical signs (does not apply to neon signage).

The purpose of this article is to: (1) Implement community design guidelines by: a. Adopting design guidelines in accordance with land use and development policies established in the Federal Way comprehensive plan and in accordance with Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) Guidelines. . b. Requiring minimum standards for design review to maintain and protect property values and enhance the general appearance ofthe city. c. Increasing flexibility and encouraging creativity in building and site design, while assuring quality development pursuant to the comprehensive plan and the purpose of this article. d. Achieving predictability in design review, balanced with administrative flexibility to consider the individual merits of proposals. e. Improving and expanding pedestrian circulation, public open space, and pedestrian amenities in the city. (2) Implement Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles by: a. Requiring minimum standards for design review to reduce the rate of crime associated with persons and property, thus providing for the highest standards of public safety. b. CPTED principles are functionally grouped into the following three categories: 1. Natural Surveillance. This focuses on strategies to design the built environment in a manner that promotes visibility of public spaces and areas. 2. Access Control. This category focuses on the techniques that prevent and/or deter unauthorized and/or inappropriate access. 3. Ownership. This category focuses on strategies to reduce the perception of areas as "ownerless" and, therefore, available for undesirable uses. c. CPTED principles, design guidelines, and performance standards will be used during project development review to identify and incorporate design features that reduce opportunities for criminal activity to occur. The effectiveness of CPTED is based on the fact that criminals make rational choices about their targets. In general: Page 1 Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design 1. The greater the risk of being seen, challenged, or caught, the less likely they are to commit a crime. 2. The greater the effort required, the less likely they are to commit a crime. 3. The lesser the actual or perceived rewards, the less likely they are to commit a crime. d. Through the use of CPTED principles, the built environment can be designed and managed to ensure: 1. There is more chance of being seen, challenged, or caught; 2. Greater effort is required; 3. The actual or perceived rewards are less; and 4. Opportunities for criminal activity are minimized. (Ord.

(1) Active users) means uses that by their very nature generate activity, and thus opportunities for natural surveillance, such as picnic areas, extracurricular school activities, exercise groups, etc. (2) Arcade means a linear pedestrian walkway that abuts and runs along the facade of a building. It is covered, but not enclosed, and open at all times to public use. Typically, it has a line of columns along its open side. There may be habitable space above the arcade. (3) Awning means a roof-like cover that is temporary or portable in nature and that projects from the wall of a building for the purpose of shielding a doorway or window from the elements. (4) Canopy means a permanent, cantilevered extension of a building that typically projects over a pedestrian walkway abutting and running along the facade of a building, with no habitable space above the canopy. A canopy roof is comprised of rigid materials. (5) Common/open space area means area within a development, which is used primarily by the occupants of that development, such as an entryway, lobby, courtyard, outside dining areas, etc. (6) Natural surveillance means easy observation of buildings, spaces, and activities by people passing or living/working/recreating nearby. (7) Parking structure means a building or structure consisting of more than one level, above and/or below ground, and used for temporary storage of motor vehicles. (8) Plaza means a pedestrian space that is available for public use and is situated near a main entrance to a building or is clearly visible and accessible from the adjacent right-of-way. Typical features and Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 2 furnishings include special paving, landscaping, pedestrian scale lighting, seating areas, weather protection, water features, art, trash receptacles, and bicycle racks. (9) Public on-site open space means a passive and/or active recreational area designed specifically for use by the general public as opposed to serving merely as a setting for the building. Such areas may include parks, gardens, plazas, entrance lobbies, arboretums, solariums, and bandstands, or an approved combination thereof, and may contain exterior and/or interior spaces. Such areas shall be easily accessible from adjacent public areas and available to the public at least 12 hours each weekday. Public on-site open space may be privately owned, but must be permanently set aside and maintained for the use and benefit of the public. (10) Right-of-way means land owned, dedicated or conveyed to the public, used primarily for the movement of vehicles, wheelchair and pedestrian traffic, and land privately owned, used primarily for the movement of vehicles, wheelchair and pedestrian traffic; so long as such privately owned land has been constructed in compliance with all applicable laws and standards for a public right-of-way. (11) Sight line means the line of vision from a person to a place or building. (12) Streetscape means the visual character and quality of a street as determined by various elements located betWeen the street and building fa~ades, such as trees and other landscaping, street furniture, artwork, transit stops, and the architectural quality of street-facing building fa~ades. (13) Streetscape amenities, as used in this article, means pedestrian-oriented features and furnishings within the streetscape, such as bench seats or sitting walls, weather protection, water features, art, transit stops with seating, architectural fa~ade treatments, garden space associated with residences, pedestrian- scale lighting, landscaping that does not block views from the street or adjacent buildings, special paving, kiosks, trellises, trash receptacles, and bike racks. (14) Surface parking lot means an off-street, ground level open area, usually improved, for the temporary storage of motor vehicles. (15) Transparent glass means windows that are transparent enough to permit the view of activities within a building from nearby streets, sidewalks and public spaces.

(16) Water feature means a fountain, .cascade, stream water, water wall, water sculpture, or reflection pond. The purpose is to serve as a focal point for pedestrian activity. (Ord. No. 96-271, S 3, 7-2-96; Ord. No. 99-333, S 3,1-19-99; Ord. No. 00-382, S 3,1-16-01; Ord. No. 03-443, S 3, 5-20-03) 22-1634 Site design - All zoning districts. (a) General criteria. (I) Natural amenities such as views, significant or unique trees, creeks, riparian corridors, and similar features unique to the site should be incorporated into the design. (2) Pedestrian areas and amenities should be incorporated in the overall site design. Pedestrian areas include but are not limited to outdoor plazas, arcades, courtyards, seating areas, and amphitheaters. Pedestrian amenities include but are not limited to outdoor benches, tables and other furniture, balconies, gazebos, transparent glass at the ground floor, and landscaping. (3) Pedestrian areas should be easily seen, accessible, and located to take 'advantage of surrounding features such as building entrances, open spaces, significant landscaping, unique topography or architecture, and solar exposure. (4) Project designers shall strive for overall design continuity by using similar elements throughout the project such as architectural style and features, materials, colors, and textures. (5) Place physical features, activities, and people in visible locations to maximize the ability to be seen, and therefore, discourage crime. For example, place cafes and food kiosks in parks to increase natural surveillance by park users, and place laundry facilities near play equipment in multiple-family residential development. A void barriers, such as tall or overgrown landscaping or outbuildings, where they make it difficult to observe activity. Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 3 (6) Provide access control by utilizing physical barriers such as bollards, fences, doorways, etc., or by security hardware such as locks, chains, and alarms. Where appropriate, utilize security guards. All of these methods result in increased effort to commit a crime and, therefore, reduce the potential for it to happen. (7) Design buildings and utilize site design that reflects ownership. For example, fences, paving, art, signs, good maintenance, and landscaping are some physical ways to express ownership. Identifying intruders is much easier in a well-defined space. An area that looks protected gives the impression that greater effort is required to commit a crime. A cared-for environment can also reduce fear of crime. Areas that are run down and the subject of graffiti and vandalism are generally more intimidating than areas that do not display such characteristics. (b) Surface parking lots. {I) Site and landscape design for parking lots are subject to the requirements of Article XVII of this chapter. (2) Vehicle turning movements shall be minimized. Parking aisles without loop access are discouraged. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall be clearly delineated using directional signage. (3) Driveways shall be located to be visible from the right-of-way but not impede pedestrian circulation on-site or to adjoining properties. Driveways should be shared with adjacent properties to minimize the number of driveways and curb cuts. (4) Multi-tenant developments with large surface parking lots adjacent to a right-of-way are encouraged to incorporate retail pads against the right-of-way to help break up the large areas of pavement. (5).See FWCc 22-1638 for supplemental guidelines. (c) Parking structures (includes parking floors located within commercial buildings). (1) The bulk (or mass) of a parking structure as seen from the right-of-way should be minimized by placing its short dimension along the street edge. The parking structure should include active uses such as retail, offices or other commercial uses at the ground level and/or along the street frontage. (2) Parking structures which are part of new development shall be architecturally consistent with exterior architectural elements of the primary structure, including rooflines, facade design, and finish materials. (3) Parking structures' should incorporate methods of articulation and accessory elements, pursuant to FWCC 22-1635(c)(2), on facades located above ground level. (4) Buildings built over parking should not appear to "float" over the parking area, but should be linked with ground level uses or screening. Parking at grade under a building is discouraged unless the parking area is completely enclosed within the building or wholly screened with walls and/or landscaped berms. (5) Top deck lighting on multi-level parking structures shall be architecturally integrated with the building, and screened to control impacts to off-site uses. Exposed fluorescent light fixtures are not permitted. (6) Parking structures and vehicle entrances should be designed to minimize views into the garage interior from surrounding streets. Methods to help minimize such views may include, but are not limited to landscaping, planters, and decorative grilles and screens. (7) Security grilles for parking structures shall be architecturally consistent with and integrated with the overall design. Chain-link fencing is not permitted for garage security fencing. (8) See FWCC 22-1 638(c)(4) for supplemental guidelines. (d) Pedestrian circulation and public spaces. (1) Primary entrances to buildings, except for zero-lot line townhouse development and attached dwelling units oriented around an internal courtyard, should be clearly visible or recognizable from the right-of-way. Pedestrian pathways from rights-of-way and bus stops to primary entrances, from parking lots to primary entrances, and pedestrian areas, shall be accessible and should be clearly delineated. Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 4 (2) Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas should be delineated by separate paved routes using a variation in paved texture and color, and protected from abutting vehicle circulation areas with landscaping. Approved methods of delineation include: stone, brick or granite pavers; exposed aggregate; or stamped and colored concrete. Paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation is not encouraged.

(f) Commercial service and institutional facilities. Refer to FWCC 22-949 and 22-1564, for requirements related to garbage and recycling receptacles, placement and screening. (1) Commercial services relating to loading, storage, trash and recycling should be located in such a manner as to optimize public circulation and minimize visibility into such facilities. Service yards shall comply with the following: a. Service yards and loading areas shall be designed and located for easy access by service vehicles and tenants. and shall not displace required landscaping, impede other site uses, or create a nuisance for adjacent property owners. b. Trash and recycling receptacles shall include covers to prevent odor and wind blown litter. Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 5 c. Service yard walls, enclosures, and similar accessory site elements shall be consistent with the primary building(s) relative to architecture, materials and colors. d. Chain-link fencing shall not be used where visible from public streets, on-site major drive aisles, adjacent residential uses, or pedestrian areas. Barbed or razor wire shall not be used. ri~N3 "Set,22~16:M (I) TillSllltftd ~lage-lJll!'l,. ~ Ffg:l)re" -~; iz-!i(i;:N (1') 'l.oocr"'iJ 'IiU$" (2) Site utilities shall comply with the following: a. Building utility equipment such as electrical panels and junction boxes should be located in an interior utility room. b. Site utilities including transformers, fire standpipes and engineered retention ponds (except biofiltration swales) should not be the dominant element of the front landscape area. When these must be located in a front yard, they shall be either undergrounded or screened by walls and/or Type I landscaping, and shall not obstruct views of tenant common spaces, public open spaces, monument signs, and/or driveways. (g) Miscellaneous site elements. (1) Lighting shall comply with the following: a. Lighting levels shall not spill onto adjacent properties pursuant to FWCC 22-954(c). b. Lighting shall be provided in all loading, storage, and circulation areas, but shall incorporate cut-off shields to prevent off-site glare.

Exhibit] 5, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 14 (2) Buildings with ground floor retail sales or services should orient major entrances, display windows and other pedestrian features to the right-of-way to the extent possible. (3) Ground-level mirrored or reflective glass is not encouraged adjacent to a public right-of-way or pedestrian area. (4) If utilized, chain-link fences visible from public rights-of-way shall utilize vinyl-coated mesh and powder-coated poles. For non-single-family residential uses only: (5) Subsections (a)(5) through (a)(17) of this section shall apply. (c) City center core (CC-C) and city center frame (CC-F). (1) The city center core and frame contains transitional forms of development with surface parking areas. However, as new development or redevelopment occurs, the visual dominance of surface parking areas shall be eliminated or reduced. Therefore, parking shall be located behind building(s), with building(s) located between rights-of-way and the parking area(s), or in structured parking, and any parking located along a right-of-way is subject to the following criteria: a. In the City Center-Core, surface parking and driving areas may not occupy more than 25% of the project's linear frontage along principal pedestrian right(s)-of-way, as determined by the director. b. In the City Center-Frame, surface parking and driving areas may not occupy more than 40% of the project's linear frontage along principal pedestrian right(s)-of-way, as determined by the director. c. A greater amount of parking and driving areas than is specified in (a) and (b), above, may be located along other rights-of-way, provided that the parking is not the predominant use along such right-of-way, as determined by the director. (2) Principal entrance facyades shall front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of- way, and/or from the principal pedestrian right-of-way, as determined by the director, for projects exposed to more than one right-of-way. (3) Building facyades shall incorporate a combination of facyade treatment options as listed in ~ 22- 1635(b) and 22-1635(c)(2), to a degree that is appropriate to the building size, scale, desigI)., and site context, and according to the following guidelines: a. Principal facyades containing a major entrance, or located along a right-of-way, or clearly visible from a right-of-way or public sidewalk, shall incorporate a variety of pedestrian-oriented architectural treatments, including distinctive and prominent entrance features; transparent glass such as windows, doors, or window displays in and adjacent to major entrances; structural modulation where appropriate to break down building bulk and scale; modulated roof lines, forms, and heights; architectural articulation; canopies; arcades; pedestrian plazas; murals or other artwork; and streetscape amenities. At least 40% of any ground level principal facyade located along a right-of-way must contain transparent glass. Landscaping shall be used to define and highlight building entrances, plazas, windows, walkways, and open space, and may include container gardens, wall and window planters, hanging baskets, seasonal beds, trellises, vines, espaliered trees and shrubs, and rooftop gardens. Landscaping should not block views to the building or across the site. Foundation landscaping may be used to enhance but not replace architectural treatments. b. Secondary facyades not containing a major building entrance, or located along a right-of- way, or clearly visible from a right-of-way or public sidewalk, may incorporate facyade treatments that are less pedestrian-oriented than in (3)(:;l) above, such as a combination of structural modulation, architectural articulation, and foundation landscaping. c. Principal facades of single story buildings with more than 16,000 sq. ft. of gross ground floor area shall emphasize facyade treatments that reduce the overall appearance of bulk and achieve a human scale. This may be accomplished through such design techniques as a series of distinctive entrance modules or "storefronts" framed by projecting, offset rooflines, and/or a major pedestrian plaza adjacent to the entrance. Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 15 (4) Pedestrian pathways shall be provided from rights-of-way, bus stops, parking areas, and any pedestrian plazas and public on-site open space, to primary building entrances. Where a use fronts more than one right-of-way, pedestrian access shall be provided from both rights-of-way, or from the right-of- way nearest to the principal building entrance. Multiple-tenant complexes shall provide pedestrian walkways connecting all major business entrances on the site. Pedestrian pathways shall be clearly delineated by separate paved routes using a variation in color and texture, and shall be integrated with the landscape plan. Principal cross-site pedestrian pathways shall have a minimum clear width of six ft. in the City Center-Frame, and a minimum clear width of eight ft. in the City Center-Core, and shall be protected from abutting parking and vehicular circulation areas with landscaping. (5) Drive-through facilities and stacking lanes shall not be located along, or in conjunction with, a building facade that faces or is clearly visible from a right-of-way, public sidewalk, or pedestrian plaza. Such facilities shall be located along other, secondary fa<yades, as determined by the director, and shall meet the separation, screening, and design standards listed in S 22-1634(g)(2)b, c, and d. (6) Above-grade parking structures with a ground level facade visible from a right-of-way shall incorporate any combination ofthe following elements at the ground level: a. Retail, commercial, or office uses that occupy at least 50 percent of the Quilding's lineal frontage along the right-of-way; or b. A 15-foot-wide strip of Type III landscaping along the base of the facade; or c. A decorative grille or screen that conceals interior parking areas from the right-of-way. (7) Facades of parking structures shall be articulated above the ground level pursuant to FWCc 22-1635( c)(1). (8) When curtain wall glass and steel systems are used to enclose a building, the glazing panels shall be transparent on 50 percent of the ground floor facade fronting a right-of-way or pedestrian area. (9) Chain-link fences shall not be allowed. Barbed or razor wire shall not be used. (10) For residential uses, subsections (a)(6) through (a)(9); (a) (1 1); (a)(12); (a)(14); (a)(16); and (a)(17) of this section shall apply. (d) For all residential zones. (1) Nonresidential uses. Subsections (a)(5) through (a)(10) and (a)(13) through (a)(17) of this section shall apply. (2) Non-single-family residential uses except for zero-lot line townhouse residential uses and attached dwelling units. Subsections (a)(5) through (a)(17) of this section shall apply. (3) Zero lot line townhouse residential uses and attached dwelling units. Subsections (a)(9), (a)(1l) through (a)(14), and (a) (17) of this section shall apply. (Ord. No. 96-271, S 3, 7-2-96; Ord. No. 99- 333, S 3,1-19-99; Ord. No. 00-382, S 3,1-16-01; Ord. No. 03-443, S 3, 5-20-03) FIX THIS SECTION. 22-1639 Institutional uses. In all zoning districts where such uses are permitted the following shall apply: (1) FWCC 22-1634, 22-1635 and 22-1636. (2) FWCC 22-1638(a)(1) through (a)(5) and (a)(7) through (a)(9). (3) Building facades that exceed 120 feet in length and are visible from an adjacent residential zone, right-of-way or public park or recreation area shall incorporate a significant structural modulation (offset). The minimum depth of the modulation shall be approximately equal to 10 percent of the total length of the subject facade and the minimum width shall be approximately twice the minimum depth. The modulation shall be integral to the building structure from base to roofline. (4) Roof design shall utilize forms and materials that avoid the general appearance of a "flat" roof. Rooflines with an integral and obvious architectural pitch are an approved method to meet this guideline. Alternative distinctive roof forms such as varied and multiple stepped rooflines, architectural parapets, articulated cornices and fascias, arches, eyebrows, and similar methods will be considered by the director; provided, that the roof design minimizes uninterrupted horizontal planes and results in architectural and visual appeal. Exhibit 15, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, Community Design Page 16 (5) Alternative methods to organize and shape the structural elements of a building and provide facade treatment pursuant to FWCC 22-1635(b) and/or subsection (a)(3) of this section will be considered by the director as part of an overall design that addresses the following criteria: a. Facade design incorporates at least two of the options listed at FWCC 22-1635(b); b. The location and dimensions of structural modulations are proportionate to the height and length ofthe subject facade, using FWCC 22-1635(b) and subsection (a)(3) of this section as a guideline; c. Facade design incorporates a majority of architectural and accessory design elements listed at FWCC 22-1635(c)(2) and maximizes building and pedestrian orientation pursuant to FWCC 22-1636; and d. Overall building design utilizes a combination of structural modulation, facade treatment, and roof elements that organize and vary building bulk and scale, add architectural interest, and appeal at a pedestrian scale, and when viewed from an adjacent residential zone, rights-of-way, or other public area, results in a project that meets the intent ofthese guidelines. (6) The director may permit or require modifications to the parking area landscaping standards of FWCC 22-163 8( a )(7) for landscape designs that preserve and enhance existing natural features and systems; provided, that the total amount of existing and proposed landscaping within parking area(s) meets the applicable square footage requirement of FWCC Article XVII, Landscaping, and the location and arrangement of such landscaping is approved by the director. Existing natural features and systems include environmentally sensitive areas, stands of significant trees and native vegetation, natural topography and drainage patterns, wildlife habitat, migration corridors, and connectivity to adjacent habitats. (Ord. No. 03-443, S 3, 5-20-03) 22-1640 Design criteria for public on-site open space. The following guidelines apply to public on-site open space that is developed pursuant to Article XI, Division 8, of this chapter. All open space proposed under this section shall meet the definition of public on-site open space as set forth in this article and all of the following criteria: (l) The total minimum amount of open space that shall be provided in exchange for bonus height is equal to 2.5 percent of the "bonus" floor area, in gross square feet, provided that the total open space area shall not be less than 500 sq. ft.

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 14th) 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 (RM 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 Commission120071Meeling Summary 03-07-07,doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 March 7, 2007 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 tI1rough 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 ifthere will 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 will 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 SumrrulI"y 03~ 14.07.doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 March 14,2007 Wally Costello. Quadrant - He is the other proponent. He also supports the staff recommendation. 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 ofthe 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 Be 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 Be include renaming all BP, and some Be zoned land south of South 339tl1 Street, to Commercial Enterprise (CE). The Be-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 ofthe proposed CE zone during the discussion ofthe 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 Surnrrory 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 Be-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 Be, 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, staffreport, 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 320111 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 Publi~ 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 spoken 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 Summary 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. Cherian 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 repl!ed 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 34151 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.

Generally, buildings constructed along the highway have observed the ten-foot setback in accordance with King County and Federal Way building codes. Business signs are largely in compliance with the City's three-foot setback due to implementation of the City's sign code. However, in many instances, businesses have used the public right of way outside of the roadway travel lanes for parking, landscaping or other uses. In 1998 the City of Federal Way adopted its Comprehensive Plan and roadway classification. Pacific Highway South was designated as a Principle Arterial with recommended improvements meeting Cross Section A as shown on the attached figure. The City of Federal Way has completed the first and second phases of the Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Project with the third phase construction contract awarded April 3rd, and the fourth phase in preliminary design. In the first two phases, the project was designed consistent with Cross Section A of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Section A consists of a l6 foot wide median, two general purpose lanes with a l4 foot wide HOV lane, six foot wide planter strips and 8 foot wide sidewalks. Numerous existing developments encroach into the right of way required to construct Cross Section A. To minimize project impacts to adjacent businesses, the City made minor modifications to this cross section, reduced the right of way purchased, and/or made some minor modifications during right of way negotiations. Based on several of the right of way acquisitions and the impacts of implementing Cross Section A in Phases I and II, the Council directed staff to utilize Alternative Cross Section A 1 in designing the Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Phase III Project. Cross Section A 1 reduces the median width to 12 feet, reduces the planter strips to 4.5 feet and reduces the southbound sidewalk to 6 feet. Council further directed staff to make sidewalk modifications to the project cross section at specific locations, to avoid impacts on businesses. At the south end of Phase III the northbound sidewalk was reduced to six feet and planter was redvced to three feet in width to minimize the height of a lOOO foot long retaining wall, thereby minimizing project cost. Phase IV of Pacific Highway South connects Phase I, which utilized Cross Section A of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and Phase III, which utilized the Council approved modified Cross Section Al (see attached exhibit). Therefore, staff is requesting Council direction on which roadway cross section should be utilized for Phase IV of Pacific Highway South. City staff reviewed and evaluated the possible project impacts to adjacent businesses by utilizing Cross Section A of the City's Comprehensi ve Plan and concluded that between S 3l ih Street and S 304th Street, Cross Section A of the City's Comprehensive Plan can be utilized with minimum impact to businesses, April 16, 2007 Land Use and Transportation Committee Alternative Cross Sections for Pacific Highway S HOV Lanes Phase IV Page 2 except in a couple of locations where the planter strip will be eliminated to avoid contlicts with buildings and or parking impacts. North of S 304[h Street, the terrain is different than in Phase I. This segment will be constructed on a side hill, requiring extensive retaining walls to widen the highway. In general, the greater the distance from the center of the road, the higher the retaining wall will be. In this area, some of the walls could approach l5 feet in height. Reducing the roadway cro~s section to match Cross Section A 1 as constructed on Phase m will reduce project costs by reducing the height and cost of the retaining walls. Ther~fore, staff recommends that the roadway section of Pacific Highway between S 31 th Street and S 304[11 Stre~i-utilize C"ross Section A of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the roadway section between S 304th Street and 181h Avenue S utilize Cross Section A-l (same as Phase HI). Furthermore, there are several locations where the planter strip will be eliminated and the sidewalk width will be reduced to avoid contlicts with businesses. cc: Project File Day File .., I ~c::r It THRIJ wt: It - WIt t I Ir TWO-WAY l1fT1\l1ll1 WlE I I ~ f4, wt: It - lANE I.~~ SOU1ll9OU1<<l NORTHSllJIlD ~ I ROW ~. - 100' DaSTlNC R1GHT-or':"WA't -l'-- I ROW EXISTING SR.g9 NIS \<' MOl' ~~" ~.. ;"\~/ ~\ 1-::- ....\I~~~ i, I ROW 100' ElIlSllNG R11)1l-Gf-WAY I ROW I ROW 124' PROPOSm RIGHT-of-WAY I ROW CROSS SECTION A (COMPREHENSIVE PLAN) SOUTH 312TM STRiET TO SOUTH 304TH StREET NTS s' PlANltR G....
