Proposed Public Improvements for LIFT Financing in the Revenue Development Area (RDA). The City anticipates using the LIFT funds for the following types of public improvements: A. New "grid roads," and portions thereof, as well as expansion and/or improvement of existing rights-of-way, intended to provide more circulation routes and disperse traffic more evenly within the City Center; B. Public open spaces, such as plazas, pocket parks, pedestrian and bicycle trails, etc.; and C. Public parking facilities ) AU such improvements are embodied in the Transportation, Capital Facilities, Parks and Recreation, Land Use and City Center elements of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Section 2. The Boundary of the RDA. The boundary of the RDA is generally: o Bound on the South by S. 324th St.; o Bound on the West by 11 th PI. S.; by the western property line of the Federal Way Public Schools bus and maintenance facility on the north side ofS. 320lh St.; and by Pacific Highway S.; o Bound on the North by the northern border of the aforementioned Federal Way Public Schools bus and maintenance facility and a line extended from there eastward to Pacific Highway S.; by S. 3 12th St., except running along the southern boundaries of the multifamily developments located on the south side of S. 31 th St. between Pacific Highway S. and 23rd Ave. S.; by S. 31 th St., except including the Truman High School site on the north side of S. 31 ih St.; and o Bound on the East by 23rd Ave. S. north of S. 31 th S1.; by 28th Ave. S.; by the lnterstate 5 right-of-way; and by 23rd Ave. S. south ofS. 320th S1. ORD# , PAGE 2 The more complete description of the boundary is referenced and incorporated herein as Attachment "A". In addition, the City has determined that as of January 1,2007: I. Taxable real property within the RDA boundaries does not exceed one billion dollars in assessed value. 2. The average assessed value per square foot oftaxable land within the RDA does not exceed seventy dollars ($70). 3. The RDA does not contain more than 25% of the total assessed value of taxable real property within the City. 4. There is no other RDA Qurrently in King County. 5. The RDA consists of contiguous tracts, lots, pieces, or parcels ofland without islands of properties been excluded nor has the City excluded parcels where economic growth is unlikely to occur. 6. The RDA boundary would not be changed for the period that local infrastructure financing is used. Section 3. The Estimated Cost of the Proposed Public Improvements and the Portion of Costs Identified to Be Financed by the LIFT. The following estimated costs of the public improvements proposed include: \ i · Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for open space, public arts, and enhanced pedestrian sidewalks/trails between Steel Lake and Celebration Park · Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in public parking spaces in privately developed parking structures (i.e. approximately one hundred (100) stalls in each of the four super-blocks in the City Center for a total of 400 stalls). · Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in grid-road improvements, cross-walks, bike-lanes, and traffic control improvements. The City anticipates half of the above costs will be financed by the LIFT program funding, if awarded by the state, with the remaining half to be funded primarily with incremental local tax revenues generated in the RDA, together with grants, and other public/private funding sources. Section 4. The Estimated Time For Using the City's Excise Tax and Property Tax Allocation Revenues To Be Used for the LIFT Financing. The City will dedicate the portion of excise tax and property tax allocation revenues needed, together with other resources for a period not to exceed twenty-five years to match the amount of LIFT funding awarded from the state to finance the above proposed improvements. ORD# , PAGE 3 Section 5. Commencement Date For Using the City's Excise Tax and Property Tax Allocation Revenues for the LIFT Financing. The City intends to begin using the City's excise'tax and property tax allocation revenues for the LIFT financing by the later of: 1. July 1, 2008; or 2. July 1 of the year following RDA approval by the Board. Section 6. Findings. The City Council finds the following in accordance with RCW 39.102.070: 1. No LIFT funds will be used to finance, design, acquire, construct, equip, operate, maintain, remodel, repair, or reequip public facilities funded with taxes collected under RCW 82.14.048. 2. No funds will be used for public improvements other than projects identified within the capital facilities, utilities, housing, or transportation element of the City's comprehensive plan, except for qualified historical preservation activities. 3. The proposed public improvements to be financed in whole or in part using LIFT financing are expected to encourage private development and increase the fair market value of real property within the RDA. 4. The City has issued a request for proposals for a mixed-used development project on the former AMC Theater site within the RDA boundaries and expects to select a responder in July 2007 to enter into negotiations, resulting in a development agreement in the fall of2007. 5. The City has also received a letter of intent from the owner ofthe Pal-Do Wodd Plaza for a redevelopment project that would convert the existing strip-mall into a major mixed-use project. 6. The City anticipates that private development in the RDA, as a result of the public improvements, will be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. 7. LIFT financing: A. Is not expected to be used for the purpose of relocating a business from outside the RDA, but within the state, into the RDA; and B. Will improve the viability of existing business entities within the RDA. 8. The public improvements proposed to be financed in whole or in part, by LIFT financing are reasonably likely to: A.

Generate, over the period of time the local option sales tax will be imposed, state excise tax allocation revenues and state property tax allocation-revenues derived from within the RDA equal to or greater than the respective state contributions. 9. The RDA where the LIFT financing would be used are those areas the City deems in need of economic development or redevelopment. Section 7. Process to Establish the RDA. Prior to the presentation and enactment ofthis ordinance establishing an RDA, the City took the following steps in accordance with RCW 39.102.080: } 1. The City has determined it would not be necessary to use any other local taxing district's excise tax or property tax allocation revenues in the LIFT financing, and therefore, no cosponsoring agencies or written agreements are necessary. 2. The City has inventoried and determined there are no low-income housing units in the proposed area; therefore, no impact would result from development within the RDA. 3. The City has inventoried and estimated impacts of the RDA on small businesses and developed a mitigation plan that is incorporated and referenced herein as Attachment "B". 4. The City has produced a reasonable estimate ofprojected net job growth and net housing growth caused by creation of the RDA over the next 25 years. Net job growth is projected to total 6,086 jobs, allocated to the following general categories: Retail: Office: Hotel: Ci vic/Cultural/Educational: 3,347 jobs 1,765 jobs 730jobs 243 jobs Net housing growth is projected to total 1,500 units. 5. We anticipate that the spectrum of housing availability within the City Center will be substantially broadened to include ownership at all levels (from entry- level to middle-income to upper-income) and rental from lower-income to middle- and upper-income. Section 8. Notice and Public Hearing. Pursuant to RCW 39.102.100 the City: ORD# ,PAGE 5 1. Published notice of the public hearing in the official newspaper, The Federal Way Mirror, ten days before June 5, 2007, on May 26,2007, and posted notice in the following eight locations on May 25,2007: a.

IMPACT AND MITIGATION ON Low-INCOME HousfNG The RDA does not currently contain any housing units; therefore, there is no anticipated negative impact on low-income housing that would result from the proposed public improvements and the anticipated private redevelopment. II. INvENTORY OF BUSfNESSES The RDA encompasses most of the City Center Core and Frame area, with 326 business enterprises and around 4,500 total jobs. Given that some of the existing structures in the area are dated, of lower-grade, and/or comprise low-density development, they are prime candidates for redevelopment. The current commercial market conditions and the creation of RDA would likely speed up the process of redevelopment. Such redevelopment project would likely require relocation of existing businesses. Until the area is fully redeveloped, there would be substantial capacity and opportunity for such businesses to find comparable locations within or in close proximity to the RDA.

IMPACT AND M[T[GAnON ON SMALL BUSINESS "Small business," as defined by RCW 19.85.030, is any business entity, including a sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, that is owned and operated independently from all other businesses, and that has fifty or fewer employees. There are 161 businesses employing a total 720 employees, including 392 on part-time basis, within the RDA boundaries may fall under this definition. 67% of these businesses are retail in nature, including restaurants and fast food services, employing 74% of the employees, and 29% in the personal services industry, employing 24% of the employees.

For purposes of calculating potential 4isplacement impacts and net job growth, we have estimated that approximately 50% ofthe existing small businesses may be displaced, resulting in a total of360 jobs potentially being displaced. Most of the displaced small businesses would likely be able to find comparable locations and rents both within and outside the RDA boundaries to relocate. Some may choose to relocate to one of the new redevelopment projects. IV. PROPOSED MmGA nON PLAN FOR SMALL BUSINESS: The primary purpose ofthe mitigation plan is to layout practical ways to assist businesses in findin& viable options for relocation, to minimize any business disruptions, and to retain as many businesses in Federal Way as possible. 1. Provide Sufficient Notice of Relocation ORD# ,PAGElO Notices will be provided so that all displaced businesses will have a reasonable period of time to find a comparable replacement location. To this end, the City would: 1. Mail notices to affected businesses from any proposed new public improvements and pri vate development proj ects at least 120 days prior to the start 0 f construction; 11. Post notices conspicuously in the affected area at least 120 days prior to start of construction for any proposed new public improvements and private development projects. 2. Provide Relocation Assistance 1. City will provide lists of available commercial properties being offered for sale and/or lease, including site map. and pertinent information, which may be considered as alternative sites. 1L City will make expedited permit review available for required tenant improvements for affected business enterprises that choose to relocate within the City. iii. City will encourage new property owner/developers to offer right of first refusal on similar commercial space in new projects. 1V. City will, through its partnership with the Highline Community College Small Business Development Center, provide assistance to eligible small businesses in seeking relocation loans at the lowest available cost, as well as providing business assistance and referral services where applicable. ORD# , PAGE 11 ATTACHMENT C ~~ CITY OF ,"' '. ... . Federra~ Way NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABLISHMENT OF REVENUE DEVELOPMENT AREA (RDA) PURSUANT TO LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING TOOL ("LIFT") PROGRAM (RCW 39.L02) Pursuant to the State UFT Program, outlined in RCW 39.102, the City of Federal Way is proposing to establish a Revenue DevelopmentArea (RDA) in the Federal Way City Center. The purpose of the RDA is to finance public infrastructure improvements through incremental, local tax revenues generated within the RDA, matched with State LIFT revenues generated within the RDA. Such new public infrastructure improvements are intended to complement and stimulate new private redevelopment projects within the RDA that will provide housing, jobs and goods and services, and increase the fair market value of real property within the RDA. ) . Public infrastructure improvements contemplated include: o New "grid roads," and portions thereof, as well as expansion and/or improvement of existing rights-of-way, intended to provide more circulation routes and disperse traffic more evenly within the City Center; o Public open spaces, such as plazas, pocket parks, pedestrian and bicycle trails, etc.; and o Public parking facilities All such improvements are intended to implement goals and policies embodied in the Transportation, Capital Facilities, Parks and Recreation, Land Use and City Center elements of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. . The total proposed public infrastructure improvements to be financed through the local infrastructure financing program will be limited to $35 million. The City is pursuing the maximum amount of the State LIFT funding at $1 million per year for 25 years. The State LIFT funding requires an equal amount in local matching funds. Therefore, the City is proposing to use incremental sales, property, and other tax revenues generated from new private development within the RDA, together with approximately $6 million from the City Center . . ORD# ,PAGE 12 . Redevelopment Fund established by the City, as the local matching fund for the proposed infrastructure improvements. ..... The estimated period during which the local infrastructure financing is contemplated to be used is 25 years. Infrastructure construction and associated redevelopment within the RDA may displace existing businesses over the long-term. Many businesses may be able to find new locations within redevelopment projects, while others may be displaced from the RDA. No low-income housing will be directly affected as the RDA includes no existing housing. . . The proposed RDA boundaries are described as follows: o Bound on the South by S 324th St; o Bound on the West by 11th PI S; by the western property line of the Federal Way Public Schools bus and maintenance facility on the north side ofS 320th St; and by Pacific Highway S; o Bound on the North the northern border of the aforementioned Federal Way Public Schools bus and maintenance facility and a line extended from there eastward to Pacific Highway S; by S 3 12th St, except running along the southern boundaries of the multifamily developments located on the south side ofS 3 12th St between Pacific Highway Sand 23rd Ave S; by S 31 ih St, except including the Truman High School site on the north side of S 31 ih St.; and o Bound on the East by 23rd Av S north ofS 3171h St; by28th Ave S; by the Interstate 5 right-of- way; and by 23rd Av S south ofS 320th St You may also refer to the attached RDA map The public hearing on this matter will be held during a regularly scheduled City Council meeting at the following date, time and place: 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 5, 2007 City Council Chambers City Hall 33325 8th Ave South For a copy of the draft Ordinance and information on how the limitations, conditions and findings, required by RCW 39.102, are met, you may access the City Council's agenda packet via the City's website at cityoffederalway.com or in person at the City Clerk's Office in City Hall, at the above address, as of Friday, June 1,2007.

(iv) Non-anchor. non-mixed use facades shall not exceed a width to depth ratio of 2: I. g-: 1. Primary ~ommercial building entries shall be clearly visible and recognizable from the public right-of-ways; or active puilding facades, including windows and pedestrian scale design amenities such as screening, plazas, or art features such as trellises, artwork, murals, landscaping or combinations thereof, shall be required fronting the right-of-way. It i On-street parallel parking is encouraged where feasible. . ~ k. A minimum of five percent of the gross land area of the commercial portion of the site shall be pedestrian oriented open space. There shall be one primary pedestrian gathering focal point, and additional supporting pedestrian oriented gathering locations distributed proportionally throughout the commercial portion of the site. Open space areas and plazas shall include seating, landscaping, art, ornamentation, pedestrian scal'e lighting, water features, and outdoor dining. f. 1. Vehicular service stations are not permitted. Fuel pump stations are only permitted when accessory to an anchor tenant. AnY approved fuel pump station shall not be oriented to the public right-of-way, and shall not exceed two fuel i~lands with a total of up to eight vehicular fueling positions. 3. Development of the site shall include design, construction, and dedication of the following public roadways in accordance with appropriate FWCC street sections: l. a. 13th Place South from South 336th Street to the south property line; 0RD# , PAGE 5 b. South 340th Street from Pacific Highway South to the intersection of 13th Place South extended; c. A roadway connecting from South 336m Street through the residential area, connecting to 13th Place South extended. These public roadways are necessary to serve the proposed development and shall be constructed as outlined below.. Additional conditions (on-site and off-site) intended to mitigate significant adverse environmental impact~ may be required as determined through the SEP A process and will be applied to any proposed project in the' future. a. Prior to occupancy of any residential building on the site, South 340u, Street from Pacific Highway South to the intersection of 13th Place South extended, and the roadway within the residential area connecting to South 336th Street, shall be constructed to meet all applicable standards. Traffic calming devices such as speed humps, speed tables, traffic circles, chicanes, curb extensions, signs, pavement markings, or other calming devices as appr~ved by the Public Works Director shall be incorporated within the residential roadway. Signal modifications at Pacific Highway South and South 340th Street intersection may be required to provide safe access. Alternatively, the developer may construct the extension of 13th Place South from South 336m Street to its intersection with the proposed residential road as a traffic circle. This would eliminate the need for the construction of South 340~ Street from Pacific Highway South to the intersection of 13th Place South extended, and the segment of ~~ th Place South between South 340th Street and the intersection of the residential roadway (traffic circle). b. Prior to occupancy of any commercial building, 13u1 Place South from South 336u1 Street to the south property line, and South 340th Street from Pacific Highway South to the intersection of 13th Place South extended, shall be constructed to all applicable standards. A new traffic signal (South 336th Street & 13th Place South) and/or signal modifications (pacific Highway South & South 340th Street) may be required as determined through the SEP A process. 4. All new public streets shall include traffic calming features. 5. Uses other than multi-unit housing and day care facilities that are otherwise permitted in the RM zone are not allowed. 6. The multi-family portion of the site, west of Wetland No.2, shall be accessed from one location along South 336m Stre,et and shall include a public roadway connecting through the residential area, across the existing berm of Wetland No.2, and connecting to 13th Place South extended. ORD# , PAGE 6 7. No more than one anchor building, or a maximum of -B,GOO 80,000 square feet of commercial building area, may receive a Certificate of Occupancy on the site without the prior construction of a minimum of 75 residential units. 8. The residential area shall be designed to minimize reception of potential noise impacts .. from adjacent nonresidential uses. Section 4. Severabil~ty. 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 <l;ny person or circumstance, shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance, or the validity of its application to other persons or circumstances.

COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING - Village at Federal Way Amendment to Conditions of Approval Commissioner Duclos disclosed she had meet with Mr. Potter a long time ago \vhen he was making courtesy calls to neighbors. She informed him she is on the Planning COIrunission and they did not discuss this issue. She has not spoken to him since. Commissioner ~arlson disclosed that he knows Mr. Potter because Mr. Potter is a friend of Commissioner's Carlson's boss, but there is no business relationship and they have never discussed this issue. Ms. Clark delivered the staff report. Jon Potter is seeking this change to increase the square footage of the building footprint of the two anchor buildings because retailers that have 50,000 square foot footprints or smaller have not been interested n the Federal Way market. He cannot attract tenants with the current footprint. SEP A was issued on the comprehensive plan amendments, One of the conditions for this project is that they submit a master plan and that master plan will undergo SEP A. At the time that a development penniJ is applied for, the Traffic Division or the applicant will conduct a Concurrency Analysis. If the development results in greater impacts than anticipated in the six-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the develOPer would be required to scale the project back, wait until the project is added to the TIP, or make the required traffic improvements. K:\Planning Col11fllission\2007\Mcctmg Summary 05-02-07 doc Plarming Commission Mmures Page 2 May" 2, 2007 DRAFT The requested amendments are: · Increase the gross square tootage of the two anchors from 100,000 to 140,000 square feet. · No one anchor may exceed an 80,000 square toot footprint (an increase from 50,000 square feet). · Change the width to depth ratio of the anchors [i'om 1.5: I to 1.25: I (i .e. change from the width being no more than I Yz times the depth to width being no more than 1'1. times the depth [building would become more square rather than rectangular]). · lncrease the building footprint of commercial mixed-use buildings from 10,000 to 30,000 square feet, with a width to depth ratio not to exceed 1.5: I . · lncrease the building footprint of commercial/residential mixed-use buildings from 10,000 to 12,000 square feet, with a width to depth ratio not to exceed 2: I. · The limits on the building footprint would exclude integrated parking, i.e., parking that is part of the building. · Keep the building footprint of non-anchor, non-mixed use buildings to 10,000 square feet with the provision for an increase up to 20,000 square feet for two buildings if certain conditions are met. No change in the width to depth ratio of2: 1. No public comments were received. Staff recommends accepting the amendments as proposed. Mr. Potter and his design consultant, Joe Donahou, were available to answer questions. Discussion was held on the change of the width to depth ratio of the anchor buildings. This discussion indicated that it wOl,lld be more limiting to the applicant to change the width to depth ratio as requested. Because they want as much flexibility as possible, the applicant concluded that it would be in their best interest to not change the width to depth ratio. Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend adoption of the proposal with an amendment that the depth to width ratio be retained at the original 1.5: I for the anchor buildings. The vote was held and passed, no nays. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Commissioner Bronson will be on vacation the month of June and Commissioner Drake will not be available the first week of June.

Clark, ArCp, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Request to Amend the Rezone Conditions for the Village at Federal Way (Kitts Comer)- Federal Way Files: 05-101205-00-UP & 05-101207-00-SE MEETING DATE: May 2, 2007 I. BACKGROUND The Kitts Comer (Village at Federal Way) request was originally submitted in April 1999. [t was reviewed as part of the 200 I Comprehensi ve Plan Amendments. In November 200 I, the LUTC gave direction that a development agreement be prepared for the site. [n September 2004, the applicant submitted an application for approval of a development agreement and associated plan. In March 2005, the City initiated a legislative comprehensive plan amendment and conditional rezone for the Kitts Comer site. The comprehensive plan amendment and conditional rezone were approved per Ordinance 05-490 on June 7, 2005, which outlined the conditions of approval (Exhibit 1). II. REQUEST The applicant, Jon Potter, is requesting is to modify conditions numbers (e) and (t) of Ordinance 05-490, in order to increase the total gross square feet of the two anchor buildings from 100,000 square feet to 140,000 square feet and to increase the square footage of the building foot print of the non-anchor buildings from 10,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet for commercial mixed-use buildings and to 12,000 square teet for commercial/residential mixed-use buildings. Changes are also being requested pertaining to modulation of the building facades (Exhibits 2 and 3). As stated in the March 16,2007, correspondence from the applicant, Jon Potter, and the March 15,2007, correspondence from Ross White, Coldwell Banker Commercial, retailers that have 50,000 square foot footprints or smaller have not been interested in the Federal Way market, or they require an anchor that will generate sufficient traffic to warrant consideration of the site. Mr. Ross further stated that even with the request for larger buildings, the Village at Federal Way will be a mixed- use pedestrian friendly village concept development with several important qualities of a typical "lifestyle center." The Village at Federal Way will be a combination of "mid-box" tenants and typical small shop and free standing pad retailers and restaurants. HI.

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes a process and criteria for approving and amending legislative rezones. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: I. To review and evaluate the request for amendments to the approval of the legislative rezone; 2. To determine whether the proposed amendments meet the criteria provided by FWCC Sections 22-525; and, 3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the proposed amendments. V. PROCEDURALS0MMARY May 2,2007 Planning Commission Public Hearing May 21, 2007 Land Use Transportation Committee (LUTC) Public Meeting June 5, 2007 City Council First Reading of Ordinance June 19, 2007 City Council Second Reading of Ordinance VI. SEP A COMPLIANCE A Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for the non-project action to change the designation of the entire site from Business Park (BP) to Community Business (BC) on the east side of the on-site wetlands, and Multi-Family (RM 2400) on the west side of the on-site wetlands was issued on July 4,200 I. This action was part of the 2001 City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Amendments. A modified comprehensive plan amendment and rezone request was considered as part of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Update Process, for which an addendum was prepared to analyze whether significant potential adverse significant impacts would result from the changed actions. This comparison identitied no new or different environmental impacts beyond those evaluated in the July 4, 200 I, DNS. The applicant has submitted an application for approval of a master plan for the site based on the conditions of approval in Ordinance 05-490. Any potential impacts associated with the amendments to the conditions of the legislative rezone would be analyzed through the SEPA review process for the master plan. Planning Commission Memorandum Village at Federal Way, Request to Amend the Rezone Conditions Meeting Date: May 2, 2007 Page 3 V[[. SITE CHARACTERISTICS 1. Neighborhood Characteristics The site is presently vacant except for parcel 202014-9086, on which Horan Realty, a real estate office building, is located and parcel 202104-9090 (Nelson), on which an automotive business is operated. [n addition, a City-controlled regional detention pond. Kitts Corner, is located on the western portion of parcel 202104-9004 (Knight). Uses to the north across South 336th Street are a mix of retail, office, church, and restaurants. To the south is vacant land which has been permitted as Progressive [nsurance Auto. To the east across Pacific Highway South, moving from north to south, are small retail establishments, vacant property, a bank, Pacifica Park Office Building, and Canopy World. [n addition, Walt's Automotive is located on the triangular piece of property between Pacific Highway South and 16th Avenue South. To the west, moving from north to south, are Mitchell Place (a senior housing development) and industrial uses, including Frito Lay. 2. Availability of Utilities Sanitary Sewer: Located within the Lakehaven Utility District. Sewer facilities will need to be extended to serve the site. There is adequate sewer capacity at this time. Public Water: Located within the Lakehaven Utility District. Water facilities will need to be extended to serve the site. There is adequate water capacity at this time. Storm Drainage: Site is located in the West Hylebos Creek Sub-Basin 3. Availability of Public Services Police: Provided by City of Federal Way Fire/Emergency Medical: Provided by South King Fire and Rescue Schools: Provided by Federal Way School District 4. Critical Areas A Class II Wetland is located on the west central portions of parcel 202104-9070 (Campus Gateway) and parcel 202104-900 I (Merlino), and on the northern portion of parcel 202104- 9072 (Chase NW Trust). A branch of the Hylebos Stream flows southwards through the wetlands. Class II Wetlands have 100-foot setbacks. The on-site stream also has a 100-foot buffer. The stream buffer is either contained within the existing wetland buffers or flows through the regional detention pond located on the western portion of parcel 202104-9004 (Knight). There are also two smaller wetlands located on the Campus Gateway and Merlino parcels. The City entered into a June 17, 1996, Settlement Agreement and Covenant with the property owners that stated that once all permit fees were paid and the development application was in compliance with all applicable laws and codes, these smaller parcels could be filled because mitigation for their filling was already built into the mitigation plan for the Planning Commission Memorandum Village at Federal Way, Request to Amend the Rezone Conditions Meeting Date: May 2, 2007 Page 4 overall project. (f future development is proposed in the vicinity of an on-site stream or wetland, compliance w.ith FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV, "Critical Areas," and the settlement agreement and covenant will be required. 5. Drainage The site is located in the West Hylebos Creek Sub-Basin. Since more than 5,000 square feet of impervious surfaces would be created with development of the site, surface water runoff and treatment would be required per the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), the Federal Way Addendum to the KCSWD, and any conditions stipulated in the settlement agreement and covenant entered into between the City and the property owners. The site falls within a Level I Flow Control Area, thus the applicant must design the flow control facility to meet these performance criteria. 6. Access Proposed access to the BC-zoned portion of the site (area east of the large on-site wetland) is from South 3361h Street, a principal arterial located to the north of the site, and Pacific Highway South, also a principal arterial located to the east. The conceptual plan (Exhibit 4) shows a road connecting the western (area west of the large on-site wetlands) and eastern (area east of the large on-site wetland) areas. This connecting roadway would provide the Be-zoned portion of the site an additional access to South 3361h Street through the residential area to the west. Pacific Highway South in the vicinity of the Village at Federal Way site is fully developed based on the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), to the planned road section of a Type A street (four lanes plus High Occupancy Vehicle lanes), consisting ofa 90-foot street with curb, gutter, six-foot planting strip with street trees, eight-foot sidewalk, and streetlights in a 1 24-foot right-of-way. I:n 2004, the City constructed two northbound left-turn lanes at 3361h Street, increasing the street and right-of-way by 12 feet. The planned road section tor South 3361h Street is a Type E Street consisting of a 64-foot wide street (four lanes plus median) with curb, gutter, six-foot planting strip with street trees, eight-foot sidewalk, and streetlights in a 98- foot right-of-way. (n addition, the Capital Improvement Plant (CIP) anticipates the need for a second eastbound left-turn lane and an additional eastbound through lane at Pacific Highway South, increasing the planned width of street and right-of-way by 24 feet. As part of the development of the site, l3lh Place South would be extended southward from South 3361h Street through the site, and South 340lh Street would be extended westward from Pacific Highway South through the site. An additional east/west access would also be required between South 336th and South 340lh Streets. 7. Potential Traffic Impacts At the time that an application for development permit is submitted, the Traffic Division, or the applicant, will conduct a Concurrency Analysis, which will analyze evening 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 may also be required to analyze impacts outside the evening peak hours.

PUBLIC COMt\IENTS RECEIVED No written public comments were received. IX. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE REZONE CONDITIONS The following are those rezone conditions related to size and bulk of buildings that pertain to the BC-zoned portion of the site. The applicant's requested amendments are shown as strikeout (proposed deletions) and underline (proposed additions) (Exhibit 3). 2. The Master Plan shall be developed with a cohesive and integrated design that promotes the following: a. Pedestrian scale, and pedestrian orientation and massing of bui Idings. b. Site-wide pedestrian connectivity. c. Building massing shall be designed to avoid large expanses or parking areas adjacent to and/or visible from the public right-or-ways. On-site parking shall not be allowed between buildings and public right-of-ways, except the Director of Community Development Services may approve one double-loaded parking row between a building and right-or-way due to extenuating circumstances. d. The appearance of strip commercial development shall be minimized by breaking large linear buildings into numerous smaller buildings. e. The commercial portion of the site may include a maximum of two primary anchor buildings. The individual anchor buildings are permitted a maximum 50,000 square feet of building footprint, and the total gross floor area of all anchors shall not exceed 100,000 square feet of gross floor area. These anchors shall not exceed 140.000 square feet of gross floor area, excluding integrated structured parking. The maximum footprint of anyone anchor shall not exceed 80,000 square feet. Anchor facades shall not exceed a width to depth ratio of B4 1.25: 1. f. Non anchor buildings should not exceed 10,000 square feet of building footprint. Commercial mixed use buildings should not exceed 30,000 square feet of building footprint (excluding integrated structured parking) and shall not exceed a width to depth ratio of 1.5: I. g.

(ii) The facades of the structure include significant structural modulation equal to at least ten percent of the length of the subject fac;ade. (iii) The overall design of the building is consistent with the pedestrian scale and integrated design of the overall site. (iv) Non-anchor, non-mixed use facades shall not exceed a width to depth ratio of 2: I. g:- ~ Primary commercial building entries shall be clearly visible and recognizablc from the public right-of-ways; or active building facades, including windows and pedestrian scale design amenities such as screening, plazas, or art features such as trellises, artwork, murals, landscaping or combinations thereof, shall be required fronting the right-of-way. It i On-street parallel parking is encouraged where feasible. h k:. A minimum of five percent of the gross land area of the commercial portion of the site shall be pedestrian oriented open space. There shall be one primary pedestrian gathering focal point, and additional supporting pedestrian oriented gathering locations distributed proportionally throughout the commercial portion of the site. Open space areas and plazas shall include seating, landscaping, art, ornamentation, pedestrian scale lighting, water features, and outdoor dining. j; 1. Vehicular service stations are not permitted. Fuel pump stations are only permitted when accessory to an anchor tenant. Any approved fuel pump station shall not be oriented to the public right-of-way, and shall not exceed two fuel islands with a total of up to eight vehicular fueling positions. X. ST AFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS I. Any development of the BC-zoned portion of the Village at Federal Way site would have to comply with the development standards of the Be zone, in addition to any conditions imposed as part of the legislative rezone as amended. 2. The City is in the process of reviewing the Community Business/Commercial Enterprise zoning text amendments. One of the proposed amendments would be to no longer allow bulk retail sales in the BC zone. This would prohibit high volume retail sales in a warehouse setting, which may include membership clubs. Bulk retail sales are not consistent with a village concept. 3. The City's community design guideline's include specific provisions to incorporate pedestrian areas and amenities, such as pedestrian plazas and public seating areas to be included into the overall site plan; the encouragement of retail pads adjacent to the right-of-way t<>r multi-tenant development; and the requirement for entrance facades to front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-way. A vi.llage concept is consistent with these guidelines. Planning Commission Memorandum Village at Federal Way. Request to Amend the Rezone Conditions Meeting Date: May 2, 2007 Page 7 4. The intent of the original condItions as outltneJ InOrdll1ance 05-490 was to avoid a strip mall concept and to develop a village concept. The increase in size of the various buildings as proposed by the amendments and as conceptually sho\vn on Exhibit 4 should still meet the intent of the original conditions. 5. Compliance with existing City code and additional conditions of approval of the legislative rezone, either existing or amended, is consistent with a village development concept. XI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTION 22-526 Criteria for approving a legislative rezone: The City may decide to approve a legislative rezone on~v if it finds that: (I) The proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed amendments would confOlw to the conditions of the legislative rezone by providing development that is similar in design to that originally envisioned. They will also provide convenient residentially scaled shopping tor residential areas and housing in the City's commercial areas close to shopping and employment. Said residential areas would be located on-site in mixed-use buildings or in townhouse style development west of the on-site wetlands. There are also older residential areas located east of Pacific Highway South. (2) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health. saJety. or welfare. The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to public health, satety, or welfare because they comply with the vision of the comprehensive plan by: · Promoting development of well designed commercial and office developments. · Accommodating additional households and jobs which would help the City to meet its adopted household and job targets. (3) The proposed amendment is in the best interest oj the residents oj the city. The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the city because they comply with the following comprehensive plan goal and policy by proposing commercial/ residential mixed-use development in a village setting: LUG6 Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, mixed-use areas that appeal to pedestrians and motorists and enhance the community's image. LUP39 Encourage transformation of Pacific Highway (SR-99) Community Business corridor into a quality mixed-use retail area. Retail development along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center, should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. lntegration of public amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged.

GF A. [attached a letter from Ross White who is working with our local realtor Michael Swanson. Ross has been representing our project on a national level. He is one ofColdweU Banker's leading commercial retail brokers nationally. His office has been the number one commercial sales and leasing office for Coldwell Banker tor the past six years. You are welcome to call him in Salt Lake to get his thoughts regarding the size of anchors needed to generate interest from other retailers and his experience with Village developments. Ross took the position that 80,000 s.f. should be the maximum footprint. We know from the numerous site plans prepared by Donahou Design that we will not be able to create a village appearance with a building that big. We also know that there has been no interest by any retailer with a 50,000 s.f. footprint or smaller that is considered an anchor by other smaller prospective retailers. All retailers we have spoken with that have 50,000 s.f. footprints or smaller have either not been interested in the Federal Way Market or require an anchor that will generate sufficient traffic to warrant consideration of our site. As I indicated to you we have a prospect that is just under 60,000 s.f. that would fit the bill. We would like to build a margin into the maximum size requirement in the event we are unable to reach an agreement with this prospect. We are comfortable with the understanding the City's design review process will ensure whatever anchor we propose for the site will meet the village appearance criteria. I would like to see something in the 70,000 s.f. footprint and 130,000 s.[ GFA range. We will focus our efforts to keep the anchor(s) to a smaller size and we will work closely with you to ensure whatever anchor we bring to the table meets the design review criteria that ensure a strong pedestrian orientation and a village appearance. Thank you for your consideration.

My office is working in partnership with tbe Federal Way offic~ of Coldwell Banker Commercial and Michael Swanson of that office in the development of The Village @ Federal Way located on 336th Street and Pacific Highway South. The Village @ Federal Way will ue a mixed use. pedestriim friendly village concept development with several important qualities of a typical "Ii testy Ie ccnier". Our concept and our intentions arc not to develop a "big box" shopping center, we would prefer to complement the existing "big box" developments in the immediate area rather than directly compete with them. In reference to the often misused term "big box", a true "big box" tenant is in excess of 80,000 square feet and typically becomes a category killer, selling everything under one roof from clothes to toys to toasters to milk. The Village @ Federal Way will not be a home to these types of tenants. Our focus is to attract an ancbor retailer that excels in one area of business, such as clothing retail or entertainment as a destination. There are a few of these tenants that have footprints close to the 80,000 square feet size, but would not be considered by themselves or anyone else as a "big box". The Village @ Federal Way will be a combination of "mid box" tenants and typical small shop and free standing pad ,retailers and restaurants. A "mid box" retailer is any building footprint between 15,000 and 80,000 square feet This is a fairly standard description in retail development across the conntry. "Mid-box" retailers that we hope to attract to The Village @ Federal Way wiil include (but certainly will not be limited to) such categories as sporting goods, home furnishing, entertainment., titness/gym concepts and potentially high end grocery. Many of these require footprints to their buildings in excess of 50,000 square feet as a requirement, however as you can see, they specialize in their industries and would not be considered a "big box" regardless of their footprints. Our desire is to have two of these "mid box" retailers within The Village @ Federal Way and complement them with the mixed use of smaller retailers, office space and free standing buildings. I would be happy to discuss The Village @ Federal Way with you at your convenience should you have any further questions, we look forward to being an exciting part of a growing Federal Way, Wasbington.

As such, the budget is being rapidly depleted and needs to be supplemented with additional funding. At this time, it is not possible to report to Council on anticipated expenditures due to the pending litigation, however we do expect continued charges as the City defends itself from the claim. During the contract bid award, Council was informed ofanother SWM project, CIP # 304-3100-252, that was identified in our CIP plan as potentially to be combined with the Joe's Creek project due to overlapping pipe replacement plans. At the time of bid award, SWM staff requested and Council authorized a transfer of$103, 329 from CIP # 252 to the Joe's Creek project, CIP #251. At this time, SWM staff is requesting the remaining $499,671 be combined with the Joe's Creek project, CIP # 251 and the funds transferred from CIP # 252 into the CIP # 251 project account.

Wilson, Chief ofP~ SUBJECT: Interlocal Cooperative Agreement Valley Special Response Team Back2found The Federal Way Police Department joined the Valley Special Response Team (Valley SRT) in 2001. King County and other municipalities within the Puget Sound' area make up the multi- jurisdictional team know as the Valley SRT. King County and the Puget Sound area have experienced increasing,ly violent criminal confrontations due to increased gang "activity, increased drug abuse" increased urbanization, and increased population densities. The Valley SRT is called in on high, risk confrontations. They have the ability to safely control, contain, and resolve criminal confrqntations. The results shown by Valley SRT involvement are the improved of high risk services; increased safety for officers and the community; and improved cost effectivene,Ss. 1 INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN AUBURN, DES MOINES, FEDERAL WAY, KENT, RENTON, TUKWILA, AND THE PORT OF SEATTLE, FOR CREATION OF 1"HE VALLEY SPECIAL RESPONS'l1E TEAM . I. PARTIES The parties to this Agreement are the Port of Seattle and the municipalities of Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila, each .of which is a municipal corporation operating under the laws of the State of Washington.. II. AUTHORITY This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapters 10.93, 39.34, and 53.08 of the Revised Code of Washington. III. PURPOSE The parties hereto desire to establish and maintain a ml!!lJti-jurisdictional team to effectively respond to high risk criminal occurrences as describep below. IV. FORMATION There is hereby created a multi-jurisdictional team to be hereafter known as the "Valley Special Response Team" ("SRT"), the members of which shall be the Port of Seattle, and the cities of Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila. The SRT has been in existence for some time, and this Agreement is being re-entered into in order to admit the City of Des Moines as an SRT member. The future admission or elimination of a jurisdiction as a member of the SRT may be accomplished by an addendum to this agreement. V. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM King County. and the municipalities within the Puget Sound: area have experienced increasingly violent criminal confrontations due to, among other reasons, increased gang activity; increased drug abuse, distribution, and ll1anufacturing; increased urbanization; and .increased population densities. The ability to safely control, contain, and resolve high risk criminal incidents such as civil disobedience, barricaded subjects, hostage situations, gang member arrests, high risk felony arr~~ts, and narcotic or high risk search warrants has strained the resources of the members' individual police departments. Law enforcement efforts directed at dealing with these high risk:criminal incidents have, for the most part, been conducted by law enforcement agencies: working independently. A multi-jurisdictional effort to handle specific high risk crimililal incidents, as well as VSRT 03-20-2007 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT incidents involving weapons of mass destruction, results in more effective pooling of personnel, improved utilization of municipal funds, reduced Q'.Iplication of equipment, improved training, development of specialized expertise, and increased utilization/application of a combined special response team. 'This results in improved services for the citizens of all participating jurisdictions, increa$ed safety for officers and the community, and improved cost effectiveness. VI. TEAM OBJECTIVES The individual specialty units from each participating jurisdiction will be consolidated and combined to form the SRT. The SRT shall service each' Iparticipating jurisdiction. The SRT may also be available to outside law enforcement agencies as provided by chapter 10.93 RCW. The objective of the SRT is to respond to specific high ris.K criminal incidents in a manner that provides for the effective use of personnel, equipment, funds, and training. The SRT shall respond as requested by a'ny of the partioipating jurisdictions and provide a coordinated response to high-risk incidents. As spe(1;ifll needs arise, it may be necessary to request from other law enforcement agencies assistance and/or personnel, at the discretion of the SRT Incident Commander. and/or the SRT Tactical Commander. VII. DURATION AND TERMINATION The minimum term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year, effective upon its adoption. This Agreement shall automatically extend for consecutive one (1) year terms without action of the legislative bodies of the participating jurisdictions, unless and until terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. ' A jurisdiction may withdraw its participation in the SRT by proV:iding written notice of its withdrawal, and serving such notice upon each Executive Board member of the remaining jurisdictions. A notice of withdrawal shall become effective ninety (90) days after service of the notice on all participating members. The SRT may be terminated by a majority vote of the Executive Board.

Beets, City Manager (!3) FROM: Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Inter-Local Agreement among the participating Law Enforcement Agencies forming a Regional Automated Information NetWork (RAIN) Background The Federal Way Police Department has been a member of the Regional Automated Information Network (RAIN) since 2005 and is requesting authorization to continue it's participation in RAIN. RAIN connects automated records management systems to: protect the public by assisting law enforcement in solving and preventing crimes and acts of terrorism; protects law enforcement officers by giving them information important to their safety while out on our streets and highways; connects to other parts of the Criminal Justice System for increased effectiveness and efficiency; and connects to other regional, state, and national information systems. Each agency bears its own costs in maintaining and modifying its own information technology systems to be compatible with RAIN 1 ERllUf'ing Public Safety INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTICIPATING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FORMING A REGIONAL AUTOMATED INFORMATION NETWORK (RAIN) By Sharing Informadoo A. PARTICIPATING AGENCIES The participating agencies to this agreement are the: Auburn Police Department Algona Police Department Bellevue Police Department Black Diamond Police Department Bothell Police Department Clyde Hill Police Department Des Moines Police Department Duvall Police Department Enumclaw Police Department Federal Way Police Department Issaquah Police Department Kent Police Department King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention King County Sheriffs Office and its Contract Cities Kirkland Police Department Lake Forest Park Police Department Medina Police Department Mercer Island Department of Public Safety Normandy Park Police Department Pacific Police Department Port of Seattle Police Department Redmond Police Department Renton Police Department Seattle Police Department Snoqualmie Police Department Tukwila Police Department University of Washington Police Department B. PURPOSE The participating agencies desire to enter into an Inter-Local Agreement (ILA) to establish and maintain a Regional Automated Information NetwOl~k (RAIN) that connects automated records management systems to: 1. Protect the public by assisting law enforcement in solving and preventing crimes and acts of terrorism. 2. Protect law enforcement officers by giving them information important to their safety while out on our streets and highways. 3. Connect to other parts of the Criminal Justice System for increased effectiveness and efficiency. 4. Connect to other regional, state, and national information systems. RAIN ILA - 2007 c. DURATION This agreement shall commence on the date it is executed by the second participating agency to execute the agreement and shall continue until terminated as provided herein. D. AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Each fully participating agency shall bear the following financial obligations: . Maintaining its own costs and, if necessary, modifying its own information technology systems. so that it is compatible and can communicate with RAIN. . Maintaining its own RAIN servers and p~ripherals, if any, and replacing them as they go out of warrantee and{or malfunction. . Paying its financial assessment on shared costs. This assessment (see attachment d) includes costs common to all: RAIN agencies and is subject to annual revision. 2. Provider-only agencies shall not be assessed financial obligations. For example, the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention (DAJD) has agreed to provide jail booking photos in direct support~ of RAIN facial recognition functionality and that is the extent of their curoent involvement. As a provider-only RAIN agency, DAJD will not be assessed charges for either implementation or for on-going maintenance. Grant funds will cover the implementation costs and maintenance fees will be shared by full participating RAIN agencies as outlined in this governing ILA. Should DAJD, at a later date, successfully petition the governance board to become a fUlly participating RAIN agency, this exemption will expire and they will be requir~d to share maintenance fees as again outlined in this governing ILA. 3. Each participating agency shall adopt this Inter-Local Agreement holding other RAIN participants harmless for that agency's negligent acts or negligent omissions related to the system. The hold harmless prqvisions are set forth in Appendix A. In the event that a participating agency is not able to get approval for the Inter-Local Agreement, that agency will no longer be a participating agency in the RAIN system. 4. King County Sheriffs Office Disclaimer: The King County Sheriffs Office agrees to be the host for the RAIN UDDr server and in that role will operate and maintain the server. The King County Sheriffs Offi<;:e does not make any guarantees, warranties, or promises the server will be operational at all times or will not suffer from any failures or malfunctions.

Security Roles and Responsibilities Policy: The Chief of Police for each participating agency in RAIN is resppnsible for establishing appropriate RAIN security control. Security control is defined as the ability to set, maintain, and enforce: 1. Standards for the selection, supervision, and termination of system access; and 2. Policy governing the operation of computers, access devices, circuits, hubs, router, firewalls, and other components that make up and support a telecommunications network and related RAIN system used to process, store, or transmit law enforcement and investigative information, ~aranteeing the priority, integrity, and availability of service needed by the criminal j\,lStice community. I Policy: The RAIN Governance Board is responsible for developing and maintaining the RAIN security policy. The RAIN Governance Board is not responsible for overseeing the security of participating agency systems, other then to act as a resource for each agency and to make decisions relating to apparent violations of the RAIN Security Policy, when they become known. Personnel Back2round Screenin2 Background: Each participating agency in RAIN is member of an information sharing network that requires a security clearance for all who access to the system. State and Federal Laws prohibit or restrict public access to and dissemination of Database Records. Access to these Database Records is therefore controlled by security authori~ations. RAIN wishes to protect the security and proper use of the Database Records by performing Security Investigations on non Department employees or contractors who have or seek to have access to Database Records. RCW 10.97.050(3) provides that criminal justice agencies can access criminal history record information that includes non conviction data for any purp()se associated with the administration of criminal justice. RCW 43.89.010 establishes the Central Computerized Enforcement Services System (ACCESS) and limits its use exclusively to the official business of the state, and the official business of any city, county, city and county, or other public agency. The Washington State Supreme Court has recognized that a law enforcement agency has a legitimate interest in ensuring a high level of trustworthiness and personal integrity in those individuals who would have access to Database Records due to the sensitive information accessible from those records anq the unique potential dangers inherent to compromised information during ongoing criminal investigations and other law enforcement activities. RAIN ILA - 2007 Policy: State and national fingerprint-based record checks must be conducted within 30 days upon initial employment or assignment for all law enforcement no.n agency personnel, including appropriate IT or contractor personnel, having access to: RAIN systems. The minimum check must include submission of a completed applican~ fingerprint card to the appropriate state or federal identification bureau. When a record of any kind is found, access will not be granted until the Chief of Police can review the matter to decide if access is appropriate. Before system access is granted, fingerprint comparison or other positive means must establish the identification of the non-agency applicant. The Chiettof Police shall determine whether the information obtained from the fingerprint-qased record check demonstrates that the individual has honesty and has not committed crimes and as'sociated with criminals, where the information contained on theiDatabase Records would present an unacceptable risk of misuse of said records. The Chief will consider the following factors in hislher decision making process: Criminal convictions: 1. Does the crime(s) go to one's honesty, integrity, tendency to associate with other criminals (for example. Theft, forgery, sale of illegal drugs for profit, computer crimes)? 2. The seriousness of the crime. 3. Applicants age when the crime was committed. 4. How long ago the crime(s) was committed. Arrests: 1. Does the arrest(s) go to one's honesty, integrity, tendency to associate with other criminals? 2. Whether the applicant disclosed the arrest. 3. The applicant's explanation for the arrest. 4. Other information that may tend to show whether the acts' for which the person was arrested would demonstrate an unacceptable risk to allow applicant access to Database Records. 5. Applicants age when arrested. 6. How long ago the applicant was arrested. . Revocation: When the Chief of Police becomes aware of an employee with a security . clearance is arrested for a crime or is alleged of misconduct. The Chief of Police will temporarily suspend the security clearance pending a fact finding investigation. The Chief of Police may revoke the security clearance upon a showing of any event that would have resulted in an initial denial of the clearance. Physical Security Policy: . RAIN ILA - 2007 Agencies must assume responsibility for and enforce the system's security standards with regard to all agencies and users it services. The local agency must I have adequate physical security to protect against any unauthorized access to RAIN servers, computer terminals, access devices, or stored/printed data at all times. Sites include vehicles housing Mobile Data Terminals. Administrative Security Policy: Each agency Chief, by signing the Inter-Local Agreement agrees to conform to RAIN system security policy and procedures. Non-criminal justice governmental agencies designated to perform criminal justice support services such as dispatching functions or data processing/information services for a criminal justice agency are eligible for RAIN records information systems access. Non-criminal justice governmental agencies are permitted access to RAIN systems if authorized pursuant to statute, regulation, ordinance, or interagency agreement. All non-criminal justice agencies accessing RAIN systems will be subject to all RAIN operational policies, rules, and regulations. Security control respollsibility must remain with the sponsoring criminal justice agency. Private contractors or vendors are permitted access to RAIN data pursuant to a specific agreement for the purpose of providing services for the administration of criminal justice pursuant to that agreement. All RAIN member agencies shall provide security awareness briefing to all personnel who have access to RAIN information. The goal of these briefing~ is to ensure that personnel are made aware of: · threats, vulnerabilities, and risks associated with accessing RAIN systems; . what requires protection; · information accessibility, handling, marking, and storage considerations; · physical and environmental considerations; · system, data, and access controls; · contingency plan procedures; · secure configuration control requirements; · social engineering practices; and · responsibility to promptly report security violations to the Chief of Police. Security Monitorine: Policy: All access attempts are logged and/or recorded and are subject to routine audit or review for detection of inappropriate or illegal activity. RAIN ILA - 2007 Security-related incidents that impact RAIN data or communicatiQns circuits shall be reported to the RAIN Governance Board. Major violations (for ex~ple. Those that significantly endanger the security or integrity of the agency's system or personnel) must be immediately corrimunicated to the RAIN Governance Board. Disposal of Media Policy: All data associated with law enforcement records stored in the RAiIN system shall be securely stored and/or disposed of in an approved manner to prevent access by unauthorized personnel. RAIN ILA - 2007 APPENDIX C Rules for Use of D,ata from RAIN RAIN is an investigative tool, not a Records Management Sy~tem. RAIN should be accessed only for a law enforcement purpose. It allows you to search shared data from participating agencies, but is only one element in effective law e;nforcement for building an investigative case. Each participating agency maintains owtlership of its own data. Therefore, the following rules apply: 1. All attempts to access data through RAIN are recorded in system logs and are subject to routine audit or review for detection of inappropriate or illegal activity. 2. A hit through RAIN is not probable cause for arrests, searches and seizures, or court testimony; but it indicates that information exists in the RMS of an identified agency. You must have original documents from the originating ag~ncy prior to using any information obtained through RAIN for any proceedings requiring court testimony. 3. Any information intended for use in a criminal record OF case must be validated through the originating agency for accuracy and completeness. 4. Security-related incidents that impact RAIN data or communications shall be immediately reported to your Chief, who will report them to the RAIN Governance Board. 5. All data retrieved from law enforcement records stored in the RAIN system shall be securely stored andlor destroyed in an approved manner! to prevent access by unauthorized personnel. RAIN ILA - 2007 APPENDIX D Cost Sharing Assessment for RAIN in 2007 and 2008 2007 Costs associated with maintenance of shared RAIN system elements shall be divided among all participating agencies. The specific assessments outlined below are based on a commissioned officer model agreed to by both the RAIN Gov:emance Board and the KCPCA general membership. This assessment is specific to 200,71 and costs are subject to change as maintenance fees and shared elements increase. Anml~l software maintenance is subject to a 3% increase, and the cost associated with Jail Booking Photos will be added in 2008.

DEPT: CitY Manager ATTACHMENTS: Staff report dated June 6, 2007. BACKGROUND: The City first developed a Cultural Plan (the "Plan") in 1994 to detennine the community's interests and offerings of Arts and Cultural services. The Plan has been used as a base for the Arts Commission to focus their programming and grant funding efforts as well as to obtain arts grants. In the 1994 Plan, the City first explored the pQtential of a large, 1,000-seat Performance Center. It also suggested that the development cost for such a facility could reach $25 million, This figure has been used as the "base-line" data when the City considers PAC proposals. The Arts Commission has been accumulating funds in the past few years for a much-needed update to the plan; it now has $50,000. A recent staff-issued RFP included a review of the Knutzen Family Theatre's (KFT) operations and management options; two responses were received. In 1994 the City commissioned a business plan for the retreat/conference center, now known as the Dumas Bay Center. Since then many changes have occurred, including addition of the KFT. At this point,. the DBC portion of the facility is near the end of its useful life. The City needs to review the long-term options of the DBe as we consider the future of the KFT. The DBC is planning to use $30,000 from its capital budget to conduct a business plan/long term strategy. As part of the business plan, we will review the outdoor space usage and fee structure to better respond to user needs. Until the study is completed, the City will continue past practices in allowing limited outdoor functions. Staff is pursuing new state funding options for completion of a PAC in Federal Way. Based on current legislation, any such project must commence construction by July 1, 2008 - an unattainable goal given that the community has just started the organization efforts. Several legislators have encouraged the City to continue its efforts, despite our inability to meet .the existing deadline. At a minimum, the City will need to complete a feasibility study, including operation pro forma to show there is sufficient demand and to determine the facility can be supported by the community. . The feasibility study is not currently budgeted, Therefore, staff is requesting a reprioritization of existing studies and the addition of a PAC feasibility as discussed in the staff report, attached. In addition, staff requests approval to allocate up to $25,000 from the City Manager Contingency Fund to provide short term relief of the problems currently facing both the KFT and DBC OPTIONS CONSIDERED: 1. Redirect the Cultural Plan funding toward a Performing Arts Center Feasibility Study (business plan or pro forma development) including a KFT business plan. Ifpossible, include the DBC in the analysis. 2. Direct staff to move forward with the Cultural Plan update, Direct staff to request additional funding for an independent RFP for the Performing Arts Center Feasibility Study; commission an independent study of the DBC's business plan, Under either option, $25,000 in funding is needed to help Centerstage and Federal Way Symphony to continue their current uses of the facilities.

In addition to the PAC study, a business plan/operation assessment of the existing Dumas Bay and Knutzen Family Theatre programs will be conducted. The assessment should identify the appropriate business plan/operation model for the existing Knutzen Family Theatre (KFT) with or without the new PAC; and the appropriate business plan/model for the Dumas Bay Center. . BACKGROUND: 1. Cultural Plan UDdate The City first developed a Cultural Plan (the "Plan'') in 1994 to determine the community's interests and offerings of Arts and Cultural services. The Plan has been used as a base for the Arts Commission to focus their programming and grant funding efforts as well as to obtain arts grants. In the 1994 Plan, the City first explored the potential of a large, 1,000-seat Performance Center. It also suggested that the development cost for such a facility could reach $25 million. This figure has been used as the "base-line" data when the City considers PAC proposals. Due to the age of the Plan, and the changes that have occurred in the community over the past decade, the Plan is in need of a substantial update. The Arts Commission has been accumulating funds in the past few years; it now has $50,000 for the Plan update. Staff issued an RFP on May 8, 2007 for the update. Included in the scope of work is a review of KFT operations and management options. The City received two responses to perform the identified scope of work. 2. Dumas Bav Center Business Plan UDdate Also during 1994, after acquiring the property from the Sisters of Visitation, the City commissioned a business plan for the retreat/conference center. The business plan suggested certain improvements and established the rate schedule for the center. The City renamed the retreat to the Dumas Bay Center (DBC) and implemented many of the recommendations. Since then, however, many changes have occurred. The conversion of the chapel into the KFT, while enhancing the usability of the overall facility, also posed new challenges. Specifically, the two separate venues are also two separate "profit centers" must maximize respective revenue while sharing the limited infrastructures. At this point, the physical plant of DBC is near the end of its useful life. The City needs to review the long-term options of the facility including renovation or alternate options of use/management of the retreat and conference program and assess the future of the KFT operation located in the facility. DBC will utilitze $30,000 from its capital budget to conduct a business plan/long term strategy. As part of the business plan, we will review the outdoor space usage and fee structure to better respond to user needs. Until the study is completed, the City will continue past practices in allowing limited outdoor functions. 3. PAC Feasibility Study During its 2007 planning retreat, the Council discussed that with the completion of the new Community Center, the PAC should be a priority for the community. The Council remarked that it will take the whole community, not just the City, to realize the long-standing goal of a PAC in Federal Way. Subsequently, during the 2007 state legislative session, amendments were made to the Public Facility District regulation providing sales tax credit to certain jurisdictions/projects. Under this new regulation, Federal Way is eligible to receive sales tax credit for a regional center. However, the project must commence construction by July 1, 2008 - an unattainable goal given that the community has just started the organization efforts. The attempt to convince the legislature to extend the construction start date to July 1, 2009 was not successful. However, our efforts left an impression with several legislators who encouraged Federal Way to continue its efforts and to be prepared to demonstrate progress toward this project when the 2008 legislative session begins. At a minimum, the City will need to complete a feasibility study, including a financial pro forma, to show there is sufficient demand and to determine the facility can be supported by the community. The feasibility study is not currently budgeted. These three studies are all necessary in the long term. However, in the near term, staff believes the PAC feasibility study - not the Cultural Plan Update - will be most important in helping the community reach its long outstanding goal. An integral part of the PAC feasibility study is a review of KFT's operations, both with and without a new PAC. The City must determine how the two facilities can complement, not compete, with each other. Without a new PAC, we need to understand how the KFT can best serve the community's needs and under which management model. The review should also include the DBC given the joint operation nature of the facility with the KFT. However, considering each function's different clients and needs, the chosen consultant may choose to sub-contract with another consultant with different expertise and skills to handle part of this engagement. 4. Interim Solution for Existina Users These studies and reviews will take some time to complete and adopted by the Council. Before then, there are a couple of special uses at KFT and DBC the City will need to address. Centerstage has requested $20,000 in financial support for the 2007/2008 season to defray their rental cost of KFT; and Federal Way Symphony need financial support for their summer concert at DBC to defray any assessed loss of business charges, which could be up to $5,000. These short term funding measures will allow both organizations to continue their performances at the facilities as in the past two years until the respective long-term business plans for KFT and DBC are completed to address the uses and fee structures of these facilities. OPTIONS: 1. Redirect the Cultural Plan funding toward a Performing Arts Center Feasibility Study (business plan or pro forma development) including a DBC and KFT business/operations plan. 2. Move forward with the Cultural Plan Update and DBC Business Plan as initially planned. Direct staff to request additional funding for an independent Performing Arts Center Feasibility Study. Under either option, $25,000 in funding is needed to help Centerstage and Federal Way Symphony to continue their current uses of the facilities.

C-9 CHAPTER ONE -INTRODUCliION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Federal Way Comprehensive Plat, ~FWCP) lays out a vision for the future of Federal Way during a 20-year period and resp~nds to the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA) of 1990 and subsequent a~endments. The FWCP also carries out Vision 2020, the Puget Sound region's multip~e urban growth centers concept, and King County's Countywide Planning Polici~~ (CWPPs), which call for multiple urban centers and a strong urban growth boundary. :, This chapter gives an overview of the ~~mprehensive planning effort, profiles Federal Way's past and present, and conclude~~with a discussion of Federal Way's vision for its future. This plan contains a glossary oKterms at the end of the document to help the reader with terms that may not be clear or und~rstandable, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANtNG EFFORT 1.1 Why Plan? I Federal Way plans for people, People need a safe and secure place to live, an economy that provides jobs, a transportation syst~m that allows them to get around, and schools, colleges, and recreational opportunitid~lt is the city government's responsibility to provide public services and facilities, q~velop policies, and adopt regulations to guide the growth of a city that meets the needs or its people. From incorporation to the present, the guide for Federal Way's growth and dielopment bas been the Compyehens;ve Plan. What Is a Comprehensive Plan!? The role of the FWCP is to state c1earl~~Our community's vision for its future, and to articulate a plan for accomplishing thiS!tision over a 20-year period. The FWCP seeks to answer a number of questions: , , · What areas are most suitable for 'Clevelopment or redevelopment? · What areas should be preserved i~. their natural state? · Where should growth occur? ;~. · How can we manage that growt~ro realize our vision for the community? · How should we address traffic c0ngestion? · How many parks do we need, of!~hat size, kind, and where? I FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction · What steps should we take to e~courage economic development? · How can we encourage preservJhion of our historic resources? · How can we ensure an adequat~~supply of affordable housing for all income levels? · What utilities and public service\ will we need? · How will the community pay f~~all of these things? . Each of the FWCP's chapters addressAthese questions, and more, in the areas of transportation, land use, economic det~lopment, capital facilities, utilities, and housing. The answers form the policies, which !~uide implementation of our community vision. The policy statements within each chapter!~re used to guide new or revised zoning and other regulations, The FWCP also sets a c1e'~r frame-work for where the community will need to spend money on capital facilities, hoJ~much, and identifies available funding sources, As a whole, the FWCP offers a flexible ftamework for Federal Way's future, allowing for adaptation to real conditions over tim~~ Why Revise Our Plan? I Between 1990, when the interim commrehensive plan was first adopted by the City of Federal Way, and ~ 2006, the CitJ'ilhas grown from 19.9 square miles and 67,554 people, to ~ 22.49 square miles and ~f6,530 people. This rapid growth and change in the character of the City has naturally provided impetus to revise and update the comprehensive plan. The FWCP, and the code amend'htents which follow it, reflect the unique . characteristics of our community and t~.bliC input on Federal Way's vision for its future. II Requirements of the Growth Management Act The GMA (RCW 36.70A. 140) was p~ted by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, with amendments added in 1991 and s~bsequent years. The legislature passed the GMA in recognition of the rate of growth that ~as occurring throughout the state, particularly on the west side of the Cascades. The legl~lature was responding not only to the rate of growth, but 'also to the type and locati~ of growth. Two-thirds of the state's population and household growth in the 1980s todk place in unincorporated areas, and produced sprawling subdivisions, commercial st!ps, and urbanization of land, which only ten years before, was rural. This rapid growth p~~em resulted in increased traffic congestion and inadequate public services, and has t~~atened forestland, agricultural land, and environmentally sensitive areas such as'wetlands, These impacts have been felt in Federal Way, just as they have been felt in oth~~ parts of the state, . The GMA requires that each jUrisdictil produce a comprehensive plan that contains, at a minimum, elements pertaining to land ~se, transportation, capital facilities, housing, and priv~te utilities. These elements must ,qf' consiste~t with one another. Jurisd~ctions also are reqUIred to adopt poliCies and regulatIons protectmg resource lands and cnhcal areas, such as agriculturp.lland, wetlands, and hill~~des. Each jurisdiction must coordinate its plan with the plans of surrounding jUriSdict~l~ns. : 1-2 Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction The GMA also requires that each city, rIesignate an urban growth boundary (UGA) or potential annexation area (P AA) as they are called in King County, The P AA defines the area within which the city anticipates:h could provide the full range of urban services at some time in the future, It also represints the area within which the city will consider annexations and the boundary beYOndthich it will not annex. Perhaps what most distinguishes the qiMA from previous planning statutes is the requirement that public services be av~'i1able or funded at some designated lev:el of service before development may occur. If a jJ~sdiction cannot provide services to an area, then it may not pennit development in that 1:' The 1991 amendments to the GMA reR,uire all counties planning under the act to adopt Countywide Planning Policies (CWP~~). The ju~sdictions in King County formed a ~oup called the Growth Management Planning CouncIl (GMPC) composed of elected offiCials I~ from the King County Council, City of Seattle, and suburban cities. The mission of the GMPC was to draft the CWPPs for Kt~g County. These policies were adopted in 1992 and are binding on the jurisdictions in the County. In 1994, major amendments to the CWPPs were proposed by the GMPc. These ~endments were subsequently adopted by King County and are binding on all jurisdicAons in the County, although it should be noted that Federal Way voted not to ratify. Since!~994, the CWPPs have been updated as needed. After approval and ratification by the ~ing County Council, amendments are forwarded to the cities for ratification, Arnendments'to the CWPPs only become effective when ratified by at least 30 percent of the city and ctunty governments, representing 70 percent of the population of King County. :~ The FWCP has been prepared accordihg to the provisions of the GMA and the CWPPs. However, Federal Way's plan also co~ains many components that are not referenced in the GMA; these additional components ar~included in the plan due to their importance to the Federal Way community, Although Feheral Way's goals and policies for growth and the provision of services are guided by G1A requirements, and are based in part upon state and regional goals, they primarily refleit the vision and goals of our own citizens, How Was the Plan Developedil The ideas in the FWCP were develope:a through discussion, debate, and the creative thinking of thousands of Federal Way ~itizens, working with City staff and elected officials, Consistent with the GMA, th~City of Federal Way provided early and continuous opportunities for citizens t6~participate in CityShape, CityShape was the name given to the City's comprehensive pla~~ing project. CityShape was the process used to develop the 'FWCP, :~ CityShape, the process, started in the Fall of 1992 with a series of open houses and field trips. The first open house was held o~~eptember 16th, and featured displays from all City departments and the various special sewice districts, The event had two objectives. The first was to explain to citizens how urb~'n services are delivered, how much those services cost, and how citizens could be inVOlvri in the development of the City's new Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments I 1-3 I FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction comprehensive plan, The second Obje~tive was to have people describe their likes and dislikes about the City as it existed in !~992 and share their thoughts about what the City ought to look like in 20 years, I , . i The second major CityShape event ocpurred on October 26, 1992, The event was a field trip to Burnaby and Vancouver, Britis,~ Columbia, to look at one possible future for Federal Way, The Vancouver area has~a light rail system called Sky Train and Burnaby has a high density suburban shoppingi~a1120 miles southeast of downtown Vancouver. The City took 70 members of its variohs Boards and Commissions to look at how light rail works; how land use is influenced by ~\il and vice versa; what a redeveloped, mixed use, high intensity shopping mall looks lik~~ and how attractive higher density residential neighborhoods can look, given specifil~development guidelines, On November 19, 1992, the City con4tted a second open house, This time the objective was to review and evaluate three land ;~se plan alternatives, The first alternative was a slow growth concept with a land use ~~ttern that was fairly similar to what currently exists in the City. The second was a modera~~ growth concept that focused the majority of new growth in a. redeveloped, higher densi~, mixed use downtown. The third alternative was a I higher growth scenario that included tpe downtown concept of alternative two, but also envisioned an expanded office parklb~~iness park concept in the vicinity of West Campus and the 348th Street corridor, Those pr~ent seemed to favor a hybrid with characteristics of alternatives two and three. :l Economic development and growth was the topic of the third open house held January 21, 1993. The CityShape staff team prese~ed three economic development alternatives with low, medium, and higher growth conctpts. Participants expressed support for a medium to high growth scenario that diversified t~ economic base in Federal Way and gave the community about as many jobs as thei~ are projected households in the year 2012. The next open house was held on Mar~h 10, 1993, and focused on the vision for a City Center. Attendees completed two exer~ises. The first was to evaluate three alternative orientations for a downtown: east/west~along 320th Street, north/south in the vicinity of 20th A venue, and along a diagonal fro~ Steel Lake Park to 320th and Highway 99. The second exercise was to use building bl~ks to accommodate projected growth in the downtown. The higher the density, the~maller the area for downtown. The lower the density, the more spread out the downtown. Participants concluded that a higher density, pedestrian-friendly downtown oriented'north/south from the center of SeaTac Mall made good sense and accommodated a high ~pacity transit system. On June 2, 1993, the City staff providl~, interested citizens with a short course in transportation planning. The presentad~n identified the congested street corridors as they ~ere in 1992 and projected how and ~~ere congestion would increase by 2012, given the Impacts of growth. Staff also presenteq. five different arterial improvement alternatives which would either maintain or reducd~ongestion by 2012, together with some estimate of the effectiveness of particular arterial i/nprovements for resolving transportation problems in the community, The participants con~luded that the maximum construction option called "super widening" was not apprJrate or even feasible. They did, bowever, favor a Revised :lOO2 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1-4 FWCP - Chapter One. Introduction more modest list of arterial improvemients, including a "diagonal parkway" along the BP A power line, which generally maintaint~ the 1992 level of service, The last two public forums dealt with!~aPital facilities planning, The first of these was held June 22, 1993. At this session, s~~ff gave participants level of service options for streets and parks, provided cost estimltes associated with each level of service, and asked participants working in groups to agre~ on the level of service they wanted for streets and parks based on their willingness to pa~ for service, With a high level of consensus, participants were willing to pay for a ~arks level of service of 10.5 acres per thousand population, Given the cost for streets, :~he desired level of service was to lower the standard about 60 percent from the 1 ~'3 level. The second capital facilities public folrtim was held December 9, 1993, and focused on how to pay for services. At this foruml~each work group was given a work sheet that described total capital costs for parks itnd streets; and data describing the revenue sources available to cities and how much reve~ue each source could potentially generate. The objective was to develop a financing ~~ckage, including recommended taxing levels, which would pay for the desired street~and park system, There was a lot of disagreement, but voter-approved bond issues, impa~t fees, and to a lesser extent, utility taxes received some support as the preferred revenud~ources. On the other hand, there was near total agreement that there should be no bus!n'ess and occupatIOn tax 10 Federal Way, In November 1993, the City pUblishe4'~ draft environmental impact statement that evaluated the various growth, land us~~City Center, transportation, and capital facilities options. In addition, the staff-consultiIil\ team began writing the various chapters of the FWCP, consistent with the direction th~at emerged from the field trips, open houses, and public meetings, Early in 1994, the Ci~'s Planning Commission began holding work sessions, to which the public was invit~d, to review each of the chapters as they were written and provide comments and fee~back as appropriate. The Commission started with the Private Utilities chapter on March 12, followed by Housing (3-9-94), Potential Annexation (3-16-94), Natural Enviro~ment (4-13-94), Economic Development (4-27-94), Land Use and City Center (6-1-94), C~ital Facilities (8-3-94), and ended with the Transportation Chapter on September IV, 1994. In the Fall of 1994, staff was ready to Agin assimilating the individual chapters to create an integrated comprehensive plan. As ~rt of that process, staff concluded it was again time to touch base with the City Coun9~il to ensure the FWCP was on target with their expectations. To facilitate the discussi~n, staff prepared a two-page vision statement that summarized the FWCP. i~ The City Council reviewed the vision ~tatement at a retreat on February 24, and 25, 1995, and indicated it was on target. The visi~n statement was subsequently expanded to a 20 page executive summary of the FWCP:.including general policy direction. On April 18, ., 1995, the City Council conducted a pu1blic hearing on the expanded vision statement and, based in part on the testimony, propos~~ some amendments to it. On May 2, 1995, the City Council formally reviewed the extanded vision statement and directed staff to complete the FWCP as soon as POSSibl Revised :!002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1-5 FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction To this point, the narrative has focused on the formal public participation process, Concurrently, there were a series of ni~etings to which staff was invited to talk about the future of Federal Way, vision, land us:~planning in general, and the comprehensive plan more specifically, There were hundred; of these meetings over the course of two years, They included slide shows, small discussi09'groups, meetings with neighborhood associations, the Chamber of Commerce's monthly lun'~heon and its subcommittees, real estate brokers, property owners, elementary and highl~chOOI classrooms, displays at the mall, civic organizations, and many others, The r~sult was broad based interest and participation in the development of the City's new compr~hensive plan, At the time the FWCP was released, the mailing list contained over 700 names~all of which were notified that the Hearing Draft Comprehensive Plan was available fotUbliC review and comment. The Hearing Draft of the FWCP was ~omPleted and released for public review on July 5, 1995. Subsequently, the FWCP was aaopted on November 21, 1995, by the City Council per Ordinance 95-248, Thereafter, am~ndments to the FWCP were adopted per Ordinances 98-330 on December 15, 1998,00-372 on September 14,2000, aft6 01-405 on November 15,2001,03-442 on March~27, 2003, 04-460 on July 20,2004, and 05-490, 05-491, and 05-492 on June 16,2005; Organization of The Plan While we cannot predict the future, we can attempt to shape the type of community in which we live, work, and play, The FtCP functions as the City's statement of how it will meet the challenges posed by growth i~ the 2\ 51 century. The heart of the FWCP is the nine ind~~dual elements that outline goals and policies, These elements constitute the chapter~~f the plan, The FWCP includes five seven elements chapters that are mandated b~ the GMA: land use, transportation, capital facilities, housing, aft6 private utilitiesl~economic development, and parks and recreation, which is a stand-alone plan, rather thah....a chapter within the FWCP. It also includes few: three elements chapters which the GM!~ does not mandate, but that are very appropriate. The first is an economic development ~lement that is not only recommended by the CWPP, but also recognizes Federal wty's position as a major employer in South King County. The second is an annexation ~lement chapter as has been discussed earlier in this chapter. The HHffi second is a chapter that describes the City's commitment to the preservation of the natural environmer1~and the policy direction to make it happen, Finally, the FWCP includes a subarea ~lan for the City Center that reflects the City's vision for the future and helps to impl?ment the regional vision for a hierarchy of urban centers in the Puget Sound. ~l Each of these elements chapters has b~encoordinated with the others, resulting in a plan that is internally consistent. Each ofth~~goals in the FWCP, while expressing a specific policy direction, also functions as part :~f a coordinated expression of the City's vision for the future. Plan implementation is the ~~xt step and is discussed in the final section of this chapter. :l 1-6 Revised 200:12007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction 1.2 FEDERAL WA V'S COMMUNll.Y PROFILE: PAST AND PRESENT ; , I I Planning for the future requires a good understanding of how our community has grown and changed in the past. The followinldiscussion provides that backdrop as a context for subsequent chapters. !~ ". , The earlIest recorded accounts of the l.ederal Way area tell of NatIve Amencan famlhes who resided in the area of the Muckleshoot Reservation on the east side of the Green River Valley and traveled west to the ~~hores of Puget Sound for the plentiful fisheries resources. Generations of Muc~les,hoJl Indians wore a westward trail ~cross the hea:ily forested plateau to the area whIch IS ni!>w Saltwater State Park. The amval of the whIte man in the nineteenth century reSUlte~.l'n.. a steady decline in the Indian population and by 1890, nearly the entire population had! C1isappeared from the area. I Isolated on a triangular shaped plateati rIsing steeply from Puget Sound, the Federal Way area had little waterfront access or roa~ways and accordingly, was sparingly developed compared to Tacoma and Seattle, As I~te as the turn of the century, the original settlers at Dash Point and Dumas Bay had to ro~to Tacoma tor supplies and mail. Old Military Road, constructed around 1856 and e1ending north from Fort Steilacoom, past Star Lake to Seattle and Fort Lawton, was the fiqst road through the area, Over time, narrow dirt roads were add~ to provide east/west access and by 1900, a road '~ was constructed between Star Lake ana Redondo, The second crossroad, the "Seattle Road," connected old Military Road alhI Kent. The Seattle-Tacoma Interurban Line, I~ completed in 1901, provided a fast ana easy way to reach these urban cities. Improved access brought many visitors to the an;~ and Star Lake became a popular summer recreation site. 'l . By the I 920s, Federal Highway 99, th~ interstate that linked the western states from north to south, was complete, At this time, F]~deral Way was still primarily forest and farmland. Fred Hoyt had a cabin on Dumas Bay ~hd started a road to Tacoma (still called Hoyt Road), The timber companies, which had a m~or logging operation going, built an early railroad line and were instrumental in getting Marine View Highway (now Dash Point Road) built in the early 1 920s. This roadway spu~~ development along the coastline. Soon thereafter, Peasley Canyon Road was built to con~ct Military Road with the Auburn Valley. This ,. road later became known as South 32q~ Street. In these early days, roadways set the stage for development in the area and they s~ill play an important role in the City today, By the start of World War II, a numbe~fsmall, thriving communities made up the area that IS now Federal Way. Some communItIes were clustered around lakes, such as Steel Lake, Star Lake, and Lake Geneva, Ot~rs were sited to take advantage of the view of Puget Sound, like Adelaide and Buemi~. As each of these communities grew, residents built small schoolhouses for their Chil1r. By the late 1940s, King County consolidated Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1-7 FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction the many individual red schoolhousesl into the Federal Way School District, from which the City gets its name, : t' During this same period, a library was built along the edge of Highway 99, and between 308lh Street and 320th Street, a small "~owntown" developed with a general store, lumber yard, realty office, beauty parlor, feedl~tore, and gas station. By the end of the 1950s, the ten blocks between 3081h and 320th StF~ets became the first roadside commercial district. One of the more unique developmend~was Santa Faire, a family oriented theme park. New shopping areas were added around th~~park, helping to create a "community focus" for the residents of the area. 't As this co~mercial area developed, tHe rest of Federal Way was changing as well. The Boeing Company expanded their ope~~tions in Renton and the Kent Valley and began advertising nationally for engineers. ~ose engineers in turn began roaming the wooded acreage in Federal Way in search ofhtusing. One of the earliest residential developments was Marine Hills, built in 1958 overl~~king Puget Sound. Weyerhaeuser, one of the early timber companies, had large land hold~ngs in the area and began to develop their land into high quality housing with amenities lite golf courses, Weyerhaeuser's development compan~also began developing commercial property, creating the West Campus business park. The dlan was to integrate offices and businesses with lush landscaping. Though initially the corp~rate office market was not strong, West Campus has grown almost to capacity, providing s~~ace for many civic buildings such as City Hall, the police station, the area's major health ~are centers, and higher density housing, I~ Another major landmark in the area is:~eaTac Mall the Commons, built in the mid-1970s on what was farmland south of 320th Street. The Mati Commons is one of the largest malls in South King County and is the anchor f~r retail development in the area, The Mmall was a result of population growth in the regitn and its location was determined by the 320th Street intersection with Interstate 5. The Intet~tate supplanted Highway 99 as the main artery for . commuter traffic in the County. Il I I . , By the mid 1980s, South King County, was growing quickly. Retail growth occurred along Highway 99, especially at the 3201h SWeet intersection, Roads and office space were developed to accommodate the increa~~d growth, Residential growth was also prominent, following plans deve1o~ed by, Ki~g C<~enty, with a large number of apartment homes. The changes to the commumty, with mcrea;sed housmg and traffic, created a movement for greater self-determination. In 1989, the'citizens of this area voted for incorporation and the City of Federal Way was born, incorp~ating on February 28, 1990. I Federal Way's Future Vision , Federal Way's challenge for the futurel is to protect what the community believes is most important, while meeting the state's growth management goals. The following paragraphs describe what Federal Way will look li!~e in the year 2022, and beyond, if it balances these growth management mandates with thfeedS and desires of Fed"",' Way citizens. 1-8 Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction Federal Way is a great place to live, ~ork, and play because of its: Government For and By the People: All ilovemmental entities reflect the can-do attitude of Federal Way citizens and partner wit~~them to provide quality services, often through volunteerism, Governmental entities rl~flect the community's values of diversity, innovation, and participation. Togethe~, the community and its neighborhoods have built a sense of identity and ownership for F~~eral Way and its future. Fiscally conservative, innovative financial and managementl~contracting model) strategies, along with economic growth, have allowed the community:to enjoy a moderate tax rate, with bond issues approved to support major projects, The community vision has maintained a focus and continuity for staff and fiscal resourc~~ on the defined vision. . Responsible Growth: The community re1~zed that some level of growth in all segments of the community (economic, populatiorl~housing, etc.) was inevitable, and chose to channel that growth into very specific developfnent goals, The overall character of the community has remained much as it was 20 yearsl'go, Infrastructure has been developed concurrently with growth, preserving the communi~'squality of life. Development goals have fostered the ~eservation of a primarily residential community and open natural areas, with concentrated 'hrban development in the City's Center. An increase in the number of corporate headquartJ~s, annexation of the Potential Annexation Areas (P AA), and build out of available sin/!e-family sites, at competitive prices, has accommodated Federal Way's population target. Some new multiple-family development is concentrated in the City Center/99 co~dor area, primarily through downtown condominiums, This pedestrian frien~ly, multi-use City Center, with multi-story and underground parking facilities works ~ell for many, Federal Way citizens enjoy the pedeslnan plazas of the City Center. :l . StateWIde plannmg goal #6 states, "P~lvate property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having bee~made. The property rights oflandowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discrimin'ttory actions," The City supports preservation of private property rights; however, proptrty rights must be balanced with the health, safety, and general welfare of the communityl~ Economic Vitality: Strategically located J the Pacific Rim, between SeaTac Airport and the Port of Tacoma, Federal Way providd~jobs as an international and regional retail and employment center. Federal Way is al~~ home to several corporate headquarters located in East and West Campus. Companies ch~ose Federal Way for its sense of neighborhood identity, mix of housing stock, proxi~tty to natural resources (mountains, oceans, and watelWays), and safety, The growth inlthe corporate headquarters segment of the economy has netted economic spinoffs for Federal Way's small business community, as small business provides support services fort the corporate park companies. Growth in the small business economy has generated some; redevelopment of previously large retail warehouse facilities to accommodate office, retail!, and light manufacturing. Quality jobs have boosted disposable income, supporting expansl~n of Federal Way's retail and commercial sectors. The resulting enhancements to the c0I11~munity's tax base have helped to support a high quality of community life, ;1. I . I i Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1-9 FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction Efficient Traffic System: Federal Way's ransportation system links neighborhoods with the City Center, and Federal Way with oth'er communities in the Puget Sound region, Conce~trated economic growth in Ea~~and West Campus and the City Center has allowed mass transit to connect Federal WaY'~~COnomic core with the economic and leisure hubs of Puget Sound communities, Concentrated growth has allowed the community to maintain the infrastructure in outlYin~~reas, focusing new infrastructure .in the ,City's Center. Youth have found the transpoflahon system easy and safe to use m gettmg to school. :~ Safety, Infras/ructure, and Utilities: This:~sue has been addressed at the neighborhood level. where community-based policing phildsophies and citizen efforts to create a sense of . neighborhood with real and perceivedl~afety are most effective. A professional and compassionate law enforcement force communicates clearly with the community's diverse populations and business community, i~roviding a visible community presence, as well as acceptable emergency call response ti(hes. Improvements in safety have been a cornerstone for the community's econ~mic and residential growth. The utility and fire districts share this community vision d~d have targeted their efforts and resources to continue to provide effective and effi9lent delivery of water, sewer, telephone, television, power, and fire services. Increased c00~dination between these districts and the City, and these districts and their regional count~r-parts, has ensured adequate service expansion to make the community's development ~h,ion a reality. Caring/or Our Own: Governmental and ~cial service agencies work .in concert to provide a caring and safe environment for all Fe~eral Way citizens. Ever-improving educational institutions, public and private, serve ~~l interests and ages throughout the community. Neighborhoods have joined with the s~hools in their area to improve student achievement, school facilities, and resources. Strong~educational institutions and the leadership of the Federal Way School District, Highlin~fommunity College, and DeVry University have contributed to the community's econo~ic growth, providing a trained work force and quality education for the families of e~ployees who locate here. The City has been the catalyst for creating a one-stop shoppin~g center for human services, with programs at all lev~l~ of go:em~ent requiring greater!~articiPation from clients in improving their mdlvldual SItuatIOns. . :[. . Quality Culture, Environment, and Play: :Parks, trails, sports, and cultural arts facilities cater to the active lifestyle of Federal Way ditizens. By partnering with the Federal Way School District and other agencies, the commt;I~ity has developed a long-range plan for facilities, parks, and services, which is yielding ~ore and better facilities, and joint facility utilization than anyone agency could ~ovide alone. A performing and cultural arts center has been built, although it will requirei~perating subsidies for its first eight years. The Federal Way area is blessed with ~~bounty of natural beauty and scenery. This bounty includes dramatic vistas ofMt. Rainiei:~numerous lakes, streams, and wetlands; the pastoral setting in the Spring Valley ar~a; and views ofPuget Sound and Vashon Island from the saltwater ridge. The City is c<tmmitted to preserving this vast natural resource for the citizens and future citizens of Fede\\1 Way, . . it Revised :1QOO 2007, 2006 Comprehensive P.lan Amendments 1-10 FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction , Regional Player: Finally, Federal Way iMstitutions and citizens are regional partners and participants in the economic, politicalJ~and cultural life ofPuget Sound, This participation has yielded funding opportunities for ~'ommunity facilities, including housing and human services, Other regional efforts have s~feguarded the community against outside impacts th~t detract from our community's qu*~ity of life. Regional participation has crossed the seas with sister city relationships which are supported by Federal Way citizens, These ::I=:~~S have had significant CUI~l~ral' educational, and economic benefits for the This vision will not be easily achieved, It will require difficult choices, In order to grow gracefully, and remain a healthy and d~sirable community, tomorrow's higher density growth area~ must be ~cc~mpanied b~lm~roved, amenities for urba~ life, More resources will be reqUIred to mamtam the hIgh q~uahty ofhfe we currently enJoy, thanks to our parks, streets, and other public service'~, A combined effort of the public sector, neighborhood groups, businesses, sch~~ls, and individual citizens will be required, The early and continuing cooperation and c~lIaboration of these groups in this process will ensure this vision will be realized. ~t.. !' ft. I Ge '"9 to the Future from the Rresent II. The FWCP is intended to manage grO~h and change in Federal Way over the next 20 years, The future described in the FW~P cannot be achieved all at once. Over the life of the FWCP, growth will likely occur m~re slowly at times, more rapidly at others, and in somewhat different patterns and seque:~es than is currently foreseen, The best a comprehensive plan can be is a wel1-e~ucated guess about how to accommodate people and conditions that cannot be known i~advance. An effective comprehensive plan must be flexible enough to suc~eed within a:tange of li~ely c~ndi~i~ns and must be adjusted as those condItIons are momtored and evaluated, whIle mamtammg a steady aIm at Its ult;mate goals. :l How Will The Plan Be ImPleme~ed? Adopting a comprehensive plan is the 'first step toward realizing the City's vision, The vision is achieved when the comprehe~~sive plan is implemented, Federal Way's implementation program is comprised ~f a combination of short-term and long-term actions., Sho~-term actions ,incl~de the:tpproval of rezones that m~tch th,e FWCP's ~and use deSignations. Other actIons mcludt; the annual update of the CIty'S SIX year CapItal Improvement Program, which describd~the street, park, and surface water utility projects the City intends to build. There are alsb'long-term actions including subarea planning, monitoring, evaluating, and amending Ithe FWCP as conditions change; and developing a capital investment program that alloca(~ resources to projects that will spur the City's development in the direction envisione!~ in the FWCP,. . il Revised 2QW 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments I 1-11 , _l FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction I Subarea Plans: Subarea plans will follow the adoption of the FWCP and will produce amendments that tailor the FWCP's d~ide perspective to individual areas, whether they are neighborhood retail nodes or lightiranufacturing areas, The FWCP contains a subarea plan for the City Center. Subarea plans are expected to continue to aid in adjusting and fine-tumng the FWCP over time. :~ .. . .. Coordinatwn wIth Other JUrISdIctwns: ~~deral Way representatives have partIcIpated wIth King County, other cities, and the Puget .Sound Regional Council in numerous discussions. Some issues have been acldressed and others have been identified for additional discussion. Undoubtedly, c~ntinued regional planning forums will need to be created to meet the GMA's challenge :~or regional action toward creating, implementing, and funding a shared vision for the gre\ter Puget Sound region. Regulatory Provisions: Implementing thl~FWCP will include retaining, modifying, and/or replacing existing regulations, and/or ~rafting new regulations consistent with the policies and goals of the FWCP. For instance, itn 2002 the City formed a stakeholders group that reviewed the City's permitting proces~'and made recommendations on how to improve and/or modify the regulations and pro~~ss, This grOUp continues to meet once a year to provide input to the City's develoDme~t review process. A Strategic Investment Strategy: This Wi\:~eSCribe a framework for making resource allocation decisions in an environment~where wants and needs always exceed the finite resources available. Tradeoffs among ~any possible investment choices will be made to achieve the FWCP's goals. The frame~ork will add dimension to the FWCP's goals by enabling them to be addressed over tirh\, Human Services, Public Safety, and Envi~nmental Planning: These will continue to build upon the foundation established by th~~FWCP, Much of the FWCP, as developed to fulfill the GMA, addresses physical developittent and its related regulatory and fiscal support, Federal Way works with other levels q~ government, non-profit providers, and citizen groups to support an array of activitid~nd services that contribute to the quality of life of Federal Way's citizens, These includelpublic safety; health, cultural, educational, and environmental activities; and human strvices. To ensure that the interrelationships of all aspects of urban life are addressed, pld~ning will be undertaken by the City in a way that is supportive of and coordinated with the FWCP. Monitoring and Evaluation: This will be :tne periodically to assess progress toward achieving PWCP goals, as well as to n!l~asure the conditions and changes occurring within the City. Monitoring and evaluation will help ensure consistency within and among the FWCP elements chapters, as well as W~h the GMA, the CWPPs, and county and regional growth plans. Monitoring and evaluati~n will lead to both FWCP amendments and IL improved ability to project future conqitions. Citizen participation in City processesi~i11 build upon the dialogue between government and citizens that began with the develqpment and adoption of the FWCP, The City will strive to find improved means to corn1~nicate with, and involve citizens in planning ande !I Revised 200:1 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1-12 FWCP - Chapter One. Introduction decision-making, The City will strive to provide information that can be easily understood and to provide access for public invol*~ment. This will include processes for making amendments to and implementing the FWCP, I I Application of the Plan I The principal purpose of the comprehlnsive plan is to provide policies that guide the development of the City in the contex~~f regional growth management. These policies can be looked to by citizens and all levels of government in planning for the future of Federal Way. The FWCP format generally presents ~~discussion about an issue followed by a goal, and some policies related to that goal. Goall\ describe what the City hopes to realize over time, and are not mandates or guarantees, P~licies describe actions that will need to be taken if the City is to realize its goals. Policiesl~hould be read as if preceded by the words, "It is the City's general policy to... ," A policy H~lps guide the creation or change of specific rules or strategies (such as development regul~hons, budgets, or program area plans). City officials will generally make decisions on spec~hc City actions by following ordinances, resolutions, budgets, or program area plans that the~selves reflect relevant FWCP policies, rather than by referring directly to the FWCP. Im~~ementation of most policies involves a range of City actions over time, so one cannot simpl~ask whether a specific action or project would fulfill a particular FWCP policy, For e!hmple, a policy that the City will "give priority to" a particular need indicates that need willlbe treated as important, not that it will take precedence in every City decision. ;1 Some policies use the words "shall" ot~'should," "ensure" or "encourage," and so forth. In general, such words describe the relati~e degree of emphasis that the policy imparts, but not necessarily to establish specific lei~l duty to perform a particular act, to undertake a program or project, or to achieve a spd~ific result. Whether such a result is intended must be determined by reading the policy a~h whole, and by examining the context of other related policies in the FWCP. -I Some policies may appear to conflict, ~articularlY in the context of a specific fact situation or viewed from the different perspectiy'es of persons whose interests may conflict on a given issue. A classic example is the "~nf1ict" between policies calling for "preservation of the environment" and policies that 'frromote economic development." Because FWCP policies do not exist in isolation and niust be viewed in the context of all potentially relevant policies, it is largely in the ap~lication of those policies that the interests, which they embody, are reconciled and balanl!ed by the legislative and executive branches of City government. Ik . I~ Before the FWCP was adopted, the Ci\y of Federal Way had many policies in place that were approved over the course ofman~years, and which affect the full range of programs and services provided by the City. To t~e extent a conflict may arise between such a policy and the FWCP, the FWCP will generally prevail, except that policies that are used in the application of existing development re~ulations shall continue to be used until those regulations are made consistent with l~i FWCP purSuant to RCW 36.70A.040: 1-13 Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments FWCP - Chapter One, Introduction Discussion is provided to explain the context in which decisions on goals and policies have been made, the reasons for thosei~ecisions, and how the goals and policies are related, The discussion portions of the iW.

Comprehensive Plan Amendll]1ent Process The' City will update the FWCP annua:~y in order to keep this document current with the community's vision and the City Couli~il's policy direction. [n addition to updating chapters, such as Capital Facilities, thJ~public will also be notified that a comprehensive plan amendment will be taking place. i~dividual requests will be considered during the I annual update process.

This general concept was used to form the basis of the Land Use chapt~r. The Land Use chapter serves as the foundation of the Federal Way Comprehensive Pldz~ (FWCP) by providing a framework for Federal Way's future development and by sdhing forth policy direction for Federal Way's current and future land uses. II Development of land, according to ~aopted policies and land use designations discussed in this chapter, should result in an appr~priate balance of services, employment, and housing. The land use policies are supplement\d by a Comprehensive Plan Designations Map (Map 11-1, maps are located at the end of tte chapter) that provides a visual illustration of the proposed physical distribution and 16~ation of various land uses. This map allocates a supply of iland for such uses as servi~~s, employment, parks, open space, and housing to meet future demand. 2.1 THE LAND USE CONCEPT Federal Way's existing land use pattrrn (the physical location of uses) exists as a result of development administered by King Gbunty until 1990 and subsequent development under Federal Way's jurisdiction. As sho~in Map II-2 (Generalized Existing Land Use) and Figure 11-1 (percent Gross Land ArdtBy Existing Land Use, page 2), in September ~ 2006, e 35 percent of Federal WaY1~ gross land area was developed as single-family development, H eight percent as m~ltiple-family development, and ~ 10 percent for office, retail, and manufacturing uses~Updates to the FWCP will not substantially modify this land use pattern. !~ II What will change is how various piebes of the land use pattern interact to achieve common land use goals. Figure II-2 (page 3) d'epicts the land use concept. The land use concept should result in the following: , · Transformation of the retail lore into an intensely developed City Center that is the focus of civic activity which:~rovides a sustainable balance of jobs and housing; P , d nh i. f " 'd' I 'hb h d · reservatIon an e ancement 0 eXIstIng resl entIa nelg or 00 s; i~ · Creation of a network of parKs and open space areas; FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Figure II-1 PerseRt Gross laitll Ar-ea b~stiR9 laRd Use, September I GommerGiaI I G% I lIaGaAi ~i~ Si"gl8 Family ~ 05% """.8% 043% Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment It - 6% Religie"s S9~'iGes .w.

Below is a brief-discussion of how the Land Use chapter relates to the other chapters of the FWCP. Economic Development Federal Way's economy is disproportionately divided. B~ased on PSRC's ~ 2005 Covered Estimates by jurisdiction~ retail and service industries compose more than +(} 72 percent of Federal Way's employment base. Covered est~}nates are jobs that are covered by unemployment insurance. Dependence on retail trade I stems primarily from the City's evolution into a regional shopping destination for South iKing County and northeast Pierce County. Increased regional competition from other retaiIl~teas, such as Tukwila and the Auburn SuperMall, may impact the City's ability to capt~re future retail dollars. To improve Federal Way's economic outlook, the economid development strategy is to promote a more diverse economy. A diversified economy should achieve a better balance between jobs and housing and supports the City's qualitf of life. In conjunction with the Economic Development chapteq this Land Use chapter promotes contemplates the following: , . A City Center eomposed of mid rise offiee buil~iRgs, mixed use retail, and housing. A dense. urban-scale, City Center, comOrised of a diverse mix of office, commercial. retail sales, services. entertainment;'and housing; with the "City Center-Core" containing the City's tallest buildings and the "City Center-Frame" containing transitional heights between the Core:~and adiacent lower-height areas. . Business Park Commercial Enterprise developm,ent in the South 318$ Street area generally west of the 1-5/SR-18 interchange, east~of 9th Avenue South. south .of South 339th Street, and north of South 359th Stre~t.composed ofa compatible mix of light industrial. cOmInercial. retail sales. and ~ervices. Residential uses are not contemplated in the CE zone. except mixed-use residential/commercial can serve as an appropriate transitional use adiacent to estAblished, single family-zoned residential neighborhoods. . Community Business development in the South 1318$ Street area and around the I 5/South 320$ and I 5/SR 1 g interehanges genedlly along the SR-99 corridor, north and south of the City Center. in proximity iioresidential areas, composed of a broad range of retail sales and services. comm~rcial. office, and mixed-use commercial/residential development. :. · Continued development of West Campus. Revised :lOOJ 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-5 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use . Continued development of East Campus (Weyerpaeuser Corporate and Office Park properties). . Redevelopment and development of the SR-99 corridor into an area of quality commercial, retail, and mixed-use commerciallr~sidential development. . Continued use of design standards for non-single family areas. '; The land use map designations support development nec'essary to achieve the above (see the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map II-i). A complete discussion of economic development is set forth in the Economic Development q~apter. I Capital Facilities Capital facilities provided by the City include: transport~tion and streets, parks and open space, and surface water management. Infrastructure and Urban Services ! The amount and availability of urban services and infrastructure influences the location and pace of future growth. The City is responsible for the construction and maintenance of parks and recreation facilities, streets and transportation improvements, and surface water facilities. Providing for future growth while maintaining [existing improvements depends upon the community's willingness to pay for the constru~tion and financing of new facilities and the maintenance of existing facilities. As o~'tlined in the Capital Facilities Plan, new infrastructure and services may be financed bX voter-approved bonds, impact fees, grants, designated capital taxes (real estate excise t<Pc, fuel tax, utility tax), and money from the City's general fund. . I To capitalize on the City's available resources for urban ~ervices and infrastructure, this Land Use chapter recognizes that concentrating growth is far more cost effective than allowing continued urban sprawl. Concentrating growth ~lso supports the enhancement of future transit improvements. Water Availability i Based on reports from the Lakehaven Utility District, thej estimated available yield from the underlying aquifers is 10.1 million gallons per day ~GD, 10-year average based on l~. average annual rainfall). The District controls which well to use, thus which aquifers are being pumped from, based on a number of consideration$. including water levels and rainfall. In order to reduce detrimental impacts to its groundwater supplies in the recent past, the District has also augmented its groundwater suJ.plies with wholesale water purchased from the City of Tacoma through water syste11;1 interties. In addition, the District has entered into a long term agreement with the City of ~acoma and other South King County utilities to partioipate in the oonstruotion of obtail1s, water from the Tacoma~ Second Supply Project (a second water diversion from tqe Green River), which will Revised :!OOJ 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment . 11-6 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use provide~ additional water suppli~s to the region. As a red\llt, the water levels in the aquifers have remained stable, and the District's water sapply capacity wm increase to ,. 11.7 MGD on an annual average basis when Tacoma's ~~cond Supply Project is completed in 2001 has increased by an average of7.8 MCJB, depending upon the availability of water from the Green River. Concentrating growth, along with conservation measures, should help to conserve water. ~' Water Quality Maintaining a clean source of water is vital to the health land livability of the City. Preserving water quality ensures a clean source of drinki!:ig water; and, continued health of the City's streams and lakes. Maintaining water quality i~ also imp<?rtant for maintaining the health of the aquifers that rely on surface water for recharge. Contamination of an aquifer, by contaminated surface water, could lead to serious health concerns and/or expensive treatment requirements. To addres~ this concern and imp.~cts of new development, the City prepared a Surface Water Management Plan. The plan specifies actions to ensure water quality including the development of regional detentionJl~tention facilities to control rate and quality of water runoff. Furthermore, development or a the wellhead protection program developed in conjunction with the Lakehaven Utility District should provide gt:lidelines to avoid possible contamination. Policies contained in the ~atural Environment chapter provide direction for development near wellheads and in aquifer recharge areas. For a complete discussion, please refer to the Capital Facilities; chapter. Parks & Open Space One of the most important and valued elements of a higH quality living and working I environment is a parks and open space system. Providing parks and open spaces contributes to a reduction in environmental impacts such'as noise and air pollution; increases the value of adjacent properties; provides areas: for passive and active recreation; and helps preserve the natural beauty of the City. To ma~,imize open space opportunities, the City will coordinate with adjacent jurisdictions to create a region-wide open space system as contemplated in the Countywide Planning Pol~cies (CWPPs). I I Map II-+ 2. depicts areas where existing and/or proposed~parks and open spaces are located. This map is consistent with the City's CompreMpsive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. For a complete discussion, please refet to the Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. ! Potential Annexation Area To facilitate intergovernmental planning and policy coor~ination, the CWPPs require each jurisdiction to, ".. . designate a potential annexation area,"; (PAA). The City's P AA lies within unincorporated King County, generally east of th(;{ present City boundary. The boundary has been defined through cooperative agreeme~ts between the City and adjacent jurisdictions. :' The City of Federal Way, in partnership with King County, has prepared a Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study for the PAA. The PAA.Subarea Plan has been Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-7 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use incorporated as Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation. THe Subarea Plan contains policies and plans addressing the full range of land uses, capital t~cjlities, public services, and environmental issues relating to the P AA. The Annexation Feasibility Study, which has been incorporated by reference, will guide the City and ihform the citizens about the feasibility and phasing of any potential future annexatiOl~s. A complete discussion regarding the City's PAA can be found in the Potential Annexation Area chapter. Natural Environment I , Federal Way's natural beauty is apparent. Lakes, stream$, wetlands, and Puget Sound provide a scenic backdrop as well as a source for active ~nd passive recreation. The Land Use chapter seeks to protect Federal Way's unique natural resources through policies that support the preservation of these areas for future generat~,ons. For a complete discussion, please refer to the Natural Environment chapter. Housing Housing is a basic need and a major factor in the quality: of life for individuals and families. An adequate supply of affordable, attractive, artd functional housing is fundamental to achieving a sense of community. The ce~tr;;11 issue related to land use is supplying enough land to accommodate projected growtti for a range of incomes and households. Presently, housing is provided primarily in ~ingle-family subdivisions or multiple-unit complexes. This plan devises strategies to increase housing options lmd choices. The Land Use chapter advocates changes to current development codes to increase flexibility in platting land and encourage housing as part of mixed-use developments in commercial areas. The latter provides an opportunity to locate housing closer to emplpyment and shopping, and to create affordable housing. A complete discussion of housing c~ be found in the Housing chapter. City Center i Map II-I depicts two City Center land use designations~the City Center Core and City Center Frame. The creation of an identifiable and vibran~ "downtown" is one of the primary goals identified by the community during the CityShape planning process. The policies of the Land Use and City Center chapters envisibn a concentrated City Center comprised of mixed-use developments, pedestrian-oriented streets capes, livable and affordable housing, a network of public spaces and par~~ and development of superior design and quality. The City Center will provide a centr~l gathering place for the community where civic and cultural activities and events take place. A complete Revised :!OOJ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 11-8 .~ FWCP - Chapter Two, land Use I discussion of the City Center can be found in the City C~nter Chapter. 2.3 POLICY BACKGROUND I State and county land use policies provide a statutory fraplework for the development of City land use policies. It is important to briefly review state and. county level policies to better understand historical conditions that have shaped the go~.ls and policies in this chapter. I Growth Management Act i The Growth Management Act (GMA) acknowledges th~t, "...a lack of common goals expressing the public's interest in conservation and the wise use of our lands pose a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development, ~nd the health, safety and high quality of life enjoyed by residents of this state" (RCW 3p.70A.0 1 0). The GMA provides a framework for content and adoption of local comprehepsive plans. The GMA provides 13 goals to be, "... used exclusively for the purpose of guiding development of comprehensive plans and development regulations." A nhmber of the GMA goals pertain to land use. They are as follows: Urban Growth - Encourage development in urban areas wHc;:re adequate public facilities and I services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner~ : Reduce Sprawl- Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. Housing - Encourage the availability of affordable housing ~tOI all economic segments of the population of the state, promote a variety of residential d,ctnsities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock. ; Open Space and Recreation - Encourage the retention of o~.en space and development of recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife haq,itat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks. Environment - Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality oflife, including air and water quality and the availability of water. I I Public Facilities and Services - Ensure that those public fa4ilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without ~ecreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. I I Historic Preservation - Identify and encourage the preserva~ion of lands, sites, and structures that have historical or archaeological significance. ! Revised :!003 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 11-9 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Property Rights - Private property shall not be taken for pu~lic use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions pursuant to sta~~ and federal law. Regional Policies Vision 2020 and the CWPPs, both required by GMA, pr2vide a regional framework to achieve the goals of the GMA. Vision 2020 is the long-range growth management, economic, and transportation strategy for the central Pug~t Sound region encompassing King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. It provid~; broad direction agreed to by member jurisdictions. Most notable is Vision 2020's direction for regional transportation. An important connection between Vision 2020 policies $1d the City's land use policies is development of an urban center, referred to as the City Q~nter Core in the FWCP. Urban centers are to accommodate a significant share of new grpwth, services, and facilities. The idea is to, "... build an environment in the urban centers that will attract residents and b~sinesses" by concentrating residences, shopping, and employment in close proximity to each other and regional transit. The CWPPs are a further refinement of policy direction c:ontained in the GMA and Vision . 2020 and are a result of a collaborative process between King County and the suburban cities within. Policies contained herein have been prepared to implement the CWPPs as they apply to the City. CWPPs provide a framework for both the county and its respective cities. Adherence to these policies ensures that plans witl:1i~ the county are consistent with one another. These policies address such issues as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing, provision of urban services1for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly development.!CWPPs have the most direct impact on land use policies in this chapter. By undertakif:lg the following actions, the Land Use chapter is consistent with CWPP's direction: I . Promoting phased development for efficient use :of land and urban services; . Creating a City Center (urban center) as an area of concentrated employment and housing, served by high capacity transit, public facilities, parks, and open space; " . Limiting growth outside the City Center to areas:that are already urbanized; " . Encouraging in-fill development; . I Expanding business and office park developmen~ to include limited commercial; and . Establishing incentives to achieve desired goals. : Revised :!OOJ 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-10 . .~ FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use 2.4 L PROJECTED GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY , Projected Growth I According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 83,259 people called Federal Way home. As of April ~ 2006, the population had grown to ~ 86.530 (pased on the Washington State Office of Financial Management [OFM] population estimates). Most of the growth to date occurred during the decades of the 1960s and 1980s, dUlting which time the City's population doubled. Federal Way is now the eighth large,st city in the state and the fetH:tft third largest in King County. I Future population and employment growth has been for~casted by OFM (Figure II-3.,page -W). This future population and employment growth ~ has been distributed between jurisdictions and unincorporated urban King County .thrQhgh a methodology that has been prepared by the King County Planning Directors and app'roved by the Growth Management Population Projedtion I King County , 2,5 2 " n, 1980 1990 2000 2:910 2020 2025 w- e ,9 ~ 1,5 e o :.g 1 "'5 Q. o c. 0.5 o 1970 Source: Office of Financial Management, 2002 Update to Growth Management Act Medium Review Population Projections ~... ' Planning Council (GMPC). This methodology is more fully discussed in the next section. Figure II-3 Development Capacity I The purpose of Buildable Lands is to meas'ure capacity tb accommodate projected growth , L and to evaluate the effectiveness of local plans and regul~tions. King County and five other cities must report to the state by September 1, 200~, and every five years thereafter, on their capacity to accommodate growth during the 20-year Growth Management period. In order to accomplish this, the Buildable Lands prograrri'requires annual data collection " Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 11-11 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use I to determine the amount and density of new developmen:~, an inventory of the land supply suitable for development, and an assessment of each juri~diction and the entire Urban Growth Area (UGA) to accommodate expected growth. I . In order to determine whether Federal Way has the capa~ity to accommodate future growth, City staff prepared a land inventory of buildable; ilands. Buildable lands are those parcels that are either vacant or redevelopable and are fre.e of constraints to development, such as being environmentally sensitive. The capacity for future development in terms of number of new housing units and square footage of new :commercial square footage is then derived based on densities achieved by developmed! over the previous five year period, 1996 through 2000.' King County Assessor's records were used to identify vacant and redevelopable land. In general, parcels were divided into three categories: fully-~developed and parcels that were .k excluded from the capacity analysis; parcels that could b~ redeveloped; and parcels that were vacant. With the exception of surplus lands owned Iby public agencies, such as the City, county, state, and utility, school, and fire districts-Per~els owned by public agencies were excluded from the capacity analysis, as they are uJl\ikely to be developed for private use. Common areas and open space in subdivisions were also excluded from the inventory. Commercial and industrial zoned parcels categorized as redevelopable are those where the ratio of improvements to land value is less that) 50 percent. In residential zones, redevelopable parcels are those parcels which can be suqdivided, or where the density can otherwise be increased, for example, redeveloped from s~:ngle-family to multiple-family. I The City has mapped environmental constraints (such as: wetlands, streams, and geologically hazardous areas) and their respective setbac~s, and therefore, critical areas were taken out at a parcel level. The remaining lands were then summarized by zoning designation. A series of discounts were then further appli~d. These discounts included right-of-way and public purpose factors. ! In addition to the reductions outlined above, a market discount factor was applied on a case-by-case basis depending on local conditions. Appli4ation of the market factor (discount) acknowledges that not all potentially develop~ble parcels will be available for development and that some parcels may not be financially feasible to develop or redevelop. I This year, the methodology for oapacity analysis was modified to oonform tEl the Buildable Lands requirements. In the past, oapacity analysis '.vas b~~ed on the theoretioal maximum de'lelopment allowed by zoning. In the ourrent analysis,j<rder to calculate capacity, densities achieved over the last five years were used, For'residential areas, the average number of units per acre achieved was used, and for cOnlmercial areas, average attained .... floor area ratios (FAR) were used. Densities and F ARs '-Yere then divided into the available land totals for residential and commercial land [respectively, to estimate development potential. For redevelop able areas, the current existing building area or I number of units were subtracted in order to determine aqpitional capacity. Lastly, the number of units or the building square footage ofpendin,g projects was added to the subtotals, for a final estimate of capacity. Based on this rp.ethodology, Federal Way has the capacity for 5,538 new residential units and 16,194 newuobs. Revised 200d 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment .. 11-12 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use 2001 - 2022 Household and Job Targets During their September 25,2002 meeting, the GMPC ad.opted a motion to add targets for new households and jobs for the period 2001 - 2022. Th'ese targets were based on a I methodology developed over a two-year period by the King County Planning Directors. ., This methodology is summarized in the following section. l~ King County was divided into four subareas. These four ~~ubareas are SeaShore, East King County, South King County, and Rural Cities. The City 9fFederal Way is part of the South King County Subarea that includes Renton, Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila,_Normandy Park, Des Moines, Kent, Covington, Maple Valley, Blacl< Dliamond, Federal Way, Auburn, Milton, Pacific, Algona, West Hill PAA, East Renton PAA, Fairwoodl Soos Creek P AA, and Southwest King County P AAs. ~. The PSRC's 2000 to 2020 small area employment forec~sts were used as a basis for allocating population forecasts to these subareas by applying the employment percentages .. to the OFM countywide population forecast so that the proportion of housing to jobs is balanced at a certain ratio. I' The household size of the various subareas were then det~rmined based on the 2000 census, and adjusted downwards for 2022 based on the a~sumption that household sizes would decrease in the future. The household size for each subarea was used to determine how many new housing units would be needed to accominodate new population in 2022. Next, the remainder of the current household target by s4parea at the end of 2000 was compared to the new households needed to accommodat~, new population. If South King County were to achieve their remaining household 2012 t.arget, this would actually exceed the number of households needed to accommodate the 2@00 to 2022 projected new households for the subarea (Table II-I). As a result, the rhethodology proposed that South King County receive no new targets for the 2012 - 2022 ktarget extension period. I ~ . However, because South King County's remaining targe~ of 50,430 households exceeded the 42,355 new households needed to accommodate 200J, - 2022 growth, the methodology proposed to credit the sub-regions the difference, thus reducing remaining targets. Table II-2 (page 13) shows the 2001 - 2022 hou$~hold targets by jurisdiction in the South King County Subarea with the adjustment mad'e for the credit. : As in the case of the household target extensions, the starting point for employment allocations was forecast from estimates derived for each ~kity by the PSRC 2000 to 2020 small area employment forecasts. Future employment wa~then allocated to jurisdictions based on location of current employment, as well as location of commercial and industrial zones. The adopted 2001 - 2022 job targets are shown in Table II-2 (page 13).

In comparison, the The adoptc:::d 2001 - 2022 targets are 6,188 new residential units and 7,481 new jobs. As a result, at fhat time the City had an 8,713 surplus capacity for jobs and a deficit capacity of 650 re~tdential units in relationship to its targets. Based on residential units in the pipeline today,t~e City now has a deficit capacity of 110 residential units. King County implementation oflRCW 36.70A.215 (the "Buildable Lands" statute) requires local governments to adopt "rea~~~able measures" intended to Revised 2003 2007.2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 11-14 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use II ensure the sufficiency of land use capacity within each iilirisdiction to accommodate growth anticipated during the 20-year planning period. l~' In order to inorease residential capacity to meet the adopted targets, City staff will propose that a definition of density f-or conventional sH-bdivisions,be added to FcdC1'81 Way City Cede (FWCC) Chapter 20, "Subdivisions." The definitiqp of density will be based on gross aoreage, ',vhich should result in relatively more 10ts'.f;Rafl. presently allowed, based on the requirement for minimum lot sizes. In addition, City ~staff will continue to monitor the City's progress towards reaching its targets, and will propose additional changes to the City Council, if warranted. 2.5 URBAN DESIGN AND FORM , In addition to guiding development, the Land Use chapt~[ also guides the quality and character of the City's future development pattern through goals and policies related to the form, function, and appearance of the built environment.1 These goals and policies, related to quality development, serve and will continue to serve ~s a basis from which to develop appropriate implementation measures. Design guidelines:~adopted in 1996~ aHEl1999. and 2003 are used as an integral component of the developm~nt review process. Design guidelines address location and type of pedestrian amenities and public spaces; pedestrian and vehicle circulation; building setbacks, orientation, form, and scale; landscaping; and mixed-use commercial/residential design. Goal LUG 1 Improve the appearance andfunction of the b~ilt environment. Policies LUPl I Use residential design performance standards ~p maintain neighborhood character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. LUP2 Use design and performance standards to achieve a greater range of housing " options in multiple-family designations. : LUP3 Use design and performance standards to create attractive and desirable . .ll commercial and office developments. i 2.6 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS The Land Use chapter provides the policy foundation for. implementing zoning and Revised :1OOJ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 11-15 FWCP - Chapter Two. Land Use development regulations. In developing policy concerning future land use regulations, or · f revisions to existing regulations, every effort has been made to instill certainty and efficiency in the development process. State legislation has focused on developing streamlined and timely permit processing. The City has qonducted Developer Forums to solicit input regarding the City's permit processing system. Comments received during the Forums provided invaluable information to evaluate the City's permit system. In 2002, the City formed a stakeholders group that reviewed the City\~ permitting process and made recommendations on how to improve or modify the reguilations and processes. This group continues to meet once a year to provide input to the Ci~'s development review process. Through the following policies, the City continues to shive to provide an efficient and timely review system. I Goal LUG2 Develop an efficient and timely development review process based on a public/. private partnership. Policies LUP4 Maximize efficiency of the development review process. LUP5 Assist developers with proposals by continuing to offer pre application meetings in order to produce projects that will be reviewed efficiently. LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of development regulations to determine how to ., improve upon the permit review process. LUP7 Integrate and coordinate construction of publiq infrastructure with private development to minimize costs wherever posstbl'e.

LUP13 Distribute park and recreational opportunities bquitably throughout the City. I 2.8 LAND USE DESIGNATIONS The land use designations in the FWCP recognize the relationships between broad patterns I. of land uses. The designations set forth locational criteri~ for each specific class of uses consistent with the long-term objectives of the FWCP. Utese designations provide the pilrpose and intent for specific zoning districts. The location of comprehensive plan land -- use designations are shown on the Comprehensive Plan l)esignations Map (Map 11-1). Residential Areas Single Family , Federal Way is known for its quality single-family neighporhoods. This section contains goals and policies that will shape future development anlif protect or improve the character and livability of established neighborhoods. ~ The demand for and development of single-family housing is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Single-family development will occui as in-fill development of vacant lots scattered throughout existing neighborhoods and as Subdivisions on vacant tracts of land. To address future housing needs, the Land Use chapter encourages new techniques for developing single-family subdivisions. Such techniq~~s include clustering, planned unit developments, lot size averaging, cottage housing, zero lot line development, -. accessory dwelling units~ and special needs housing. Single Family Low Density The Single Family Low Density designation retains largdx urban lots in order to avoid development pressure on or near environmentally sensiti~'e critical areas and to retain areas that have unique area-wide circumstance. There an! two notable locations: Spring Valley, located in the southern portion of the City; and along Puget Sound near Dumas Bay in the vicinity of Camp Kilworth and the Palisades Retreat property. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment .. 11-17 ,Iti~ FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use The Single Family Low Density designation continues tq~ historic application of low density zoning in areas that lack urban services and infrastructure. Moreover, the , . application of large urban lot zoning is appropriate to aVQid excessive development pressures on or near environmentally sensitive critical areas as well as to serve as a buffer between adjacent land use designations of higher densities. Upon provision of urban services, such as water and sewer, an increase in density ltpay be warranted. , The Single Family Low Density designation in the Spring Valley and Dumas Bay areas have numerous environmentally sensitive critical feature$ including, but not limited to: wetlands, flooding potential, geologically hazardous areas, streams (including salmonid habitat), and wildlife habitat, and groundwater infiltration potential. Due to the sensitive nature of this area, the Draft Hylebos Creek and Lower P.r.uget Sound Plan recommends zoning of one lot per five acres. Single Family Medium Density , The Single Family Medium Density designation creates 4rban lots with a density range of one to three dwelling units per acre to avoid developing ~or near environmentally sensitive areas. The Single Family Medium Density designation can be found along the Puget Sound shoreline and south of South 356th Street, both east and west of SR 99. Lot sizes of 35,000 and 15,000 square feet provide for a tran$ition in density between land designated as Single Family High Density Residential an;~ Single Family Low Density Residential. Some areas designated as Single Family Me9ium Density Residential still lack urban services and infrastructure. Upon provision of;urban services, such as water and sewer, an increase in density may be warranted. The relatively large lot sizes along the Puget Sound shor~'line areas are appropriate due to . geological features including steep slopes and landslide 4.azards commonly associated with marine bluffs. As with the Single Family Low designatiop., the Single Family Medium designations south of South 356th are located in the West!tBranch Hylebos Creek Sub- Basin. As noted in the Single Family Low Density description, this sub-basin contains a number of environmentally sensitive areas. This area ofldwer density zoning occurs on both the east and west sides of 1 sl Avenue South. However, there are maior environmental and ownership differences between the two areas. The ar~a. east of 1 sl A venue South is characterized by the Hylebos Wetlands and associated streams. In addition, there are many parcels that are either publicly owned or are intended as' ~etland mitigation for development elsewhere in the drainage basin. ThereforeJ>ased on the relative absence of environmental constraints and the future availability of public services in the area west of 1 sl Avenue South, an increase in density may be warranted. Single Family High Density , A majority of the single-family residential land in the Ci1o/ is designated as Single Family High Density. Urban densities of approximately 4.5, 6.0:and 8.7 dwelling units per acre in the RS 9.6, RS 7.2, and RS 5.0 zoning districts respectively, provide for a range of housing densities. Single Family High Density residential designations are located within close and - convenient proximity to neighborhood business centers, areas of existing or future employment, transit, and existing urban infrastructure an~ services. Future Single Family Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-18 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use High Density development should have good access to collector and arterial streets. Goal LUG3 Preserve and protect Federal Way's single-family neighborhoods. LUG3.1 Provide wide range of housing densities and types in the single-family designated areas. Policies LUP14 Maintain and protect the character of existing and future single-family neighborhoods through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations. LUP15 Protect residential areas from impacts of adjacent non-residential uses. LUP16 Revise existing land use regulations to provide for innovation and flexibility in the design of new single-family developments and in-fill. L UP17 Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to serve single-family neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian circulation. L UP18 Encourage the development of parks and the dedication of open space in and 'adjacent to residential areas to preserve the natural setting of Federal Way. LUP19 Consider special development techniques (e.g., zero lot lines, lot size averaging, cotta~e housing:, and planned unit developments) in single-family areas, provided they result in residential development consistent with the quality and character of existing neighborhoods. LUP20 Preserve site characteristics that enhance residential development (trees, water- courses, vistas, and similar features) using site planning techniques such as clustering, planned unit developments, and lot size averaging. Multiple Family The multiple-family residential land use designation represents an opportunity to provide a range of housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth. The increase in population, decline in average family size, and increased cost of single-family homes have created heavy demand for new housing types. The Land Use chapter encourages the development of housing types, such as duplexes, townhouses, and condominiums in existing multiple-family areas and within mixed-use development in commercial areas. During the 1980s, the City's landscape changed, as a number oflarge apartment Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-19 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land' Use complexes were constructed. These apartments, often built without regard to scale or amenities, created a general dissatisfaction with the appearance of multiple-family development. In 1999, the City amended its Community Design Guidelines to address the appearance and scale of multiple family dwelling units. Incentives for creating desired development such as duplexes and townhouses should be considered. ' Multiple Family , Multiple Family uses in large part are in areas currently zoned for multiple-family development. Designations of 3600, 2400, and 1800 square feet per dwelling unit, corresponding to densities of 12, 18, and 24 dwelling units per acre respectively, will continue to be used. Opportunities for new development will occur through redevelopment and build-out of remaining parcels. Residential design guidelines that address design and appearance of multiple-family developments were adopted in 1999. The primary goal of residential design guidelines is to develop multiple-family housing that is reflective of the community's character and appearance. In May 2007, the City adopted regulations governing zero lot-line townhouse development and small lot single-family housing in the multiple-family zoning districts. Goal LUG4 Provide a wide range of housing types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and preferences. Policies LUP21 Allow and encourage a variety ofmultiple~family housing types in designated commercial areas, especially in the City Center Core and City Center Frame areas. LUP22 Use design and performance standards for multiple-family developments to achieve integration in commercial developments. Performance standards should focus on scale, appearance, and compatibility. LUP23 Support multiple-family development with transportation and capital facilities improvements. LUP24 Multiple-family residential development should be designed to provide privacy and common open space. Variations in facades and rooflines should be used to add character and interest to multiple-family developments. LUP25 Encourage the establishment of street patterns and amenities that encourage walking, bicycling, and transit use. Commercial Designations Existing commercial areas are predominantly auto-oriented and characterized by one-story Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11.20 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use low intensity development. In the future, these areas will become more intensively developed and pedestrian oriented, and in some designations, accommodate housing. Transforming existing areas into places where people want to live, shop, and work requires changes. Commercial areas should contain street furniture, trees, pedestrian shelters, well marked crosswalks, and buildings oriented to and along the street to provide interest and allow easy pedestrian access. General Policies for Commercial, Office, and Business Park Commercial Enterprise The following general policies apply to all commercial, office, and business parle commercial enterprise designations. In some instances, specific goals and policies may follow a specific land use designation Policies L UP26 Provide employment and business opportunities by allocating adequate land for commercial, office, and business park commercial enterprise development. LUP27 Encourage development of regional uses in the City Center. LUP28 Provide for a mix of commercial and residential in commercial areas and in limited, appropriate locations in commercial enterprise areas. LUP29 Use Community Design Guidelines to promote common open space, public art, and plazas in commercial and office developments. LUP30 Ensure compatibility between mixed use non-residential developments and residential areas zones by regulating height, scale, setbacks, and buffers. LUP31 Use Community Design Guidelines to encourage quality design and pedestrian and vehicle circulation in office, commercial, and business park commercial enterprise developments. LUP32 Use Community Design Guidelines to encourage commercial development to locate along street edge (where deemed appropriate) to provide pedestrian street access. Provide pedestrian access between developments and to transit stations. LUP33 Identify and designate streets where on-street parking can be saf~ly provided without unduly slowing traffic flow or jeopardizing traffic safety. LUP34 Provide developer incentives for inclusion of housing in commercial projects at appropriate locations. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-21 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Business Park Commercial Enterprise The Business Parle designation encompasses the uses fmmd in areas where large unde':eloped and underdeveloped parcels, having cOlwenient access to Interstate 5 and Highway 18, flrovide a naturallooation for business park Eleyelopment. The Business Park designation is inteRded to oapture the demand for higher quality, mixed use bl:lsiness parks v/hioh permit a mixture of light manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, offioe, and limited retail uses to serve the immediate needs iR the area. In the past fe\v years, the City has observed a marked incrase iN requests to ehange parcels from the Business Park designation to another eomprehensive plaR designation. :\s a result, the City should explore flotential ehanges to the allowable mix of \ises in the Bl:lsiness Park zone in order to meet changing market conditions. The Commercial Enterprise (CE) designation was developed from the former Business Park (BP) designation, in order to meet changing market conditions, as indicated by City market studies and by numerous rezone requests. The CE designation is primarily intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial. office, and retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated, high quality developments. Housing: is not contemplated for this designation, except mixed-use residential/commercial development is appropriate as a transitional use adiacent to the established single family-zoned residential neighborhood located south of South 356th Street between Pacific Highway South and 16th Avenue South. The CE designation encompasses areas located generally south of South 339lh Street, north of South 359th Street, and west of the Interstate-5/SR-18 interchange. It includes all of the former BP-designated properties, and some former BC-designated properties. Presently, these areas are characterized by bulklbig box retailers such as Costco and Home Depot; emerging "destination" retail/commercial centers such as Federal Way Crossings and Marketplace; and light manufacturing and warehouse uses; whose convenient access to Interstate-5 and Highway 18 provide a natural location for such development. The area also includes some large undeveloped and underdeveloped parcels. Goal LUG5 Develop a quality business park commercial entervrise environment 1htt1 supper's surr-euH.ding commercial ar-cas. characterized bv a viable, vibrant. and attractive mix of commercial, retail. office, industrial. and supportive uses; including mixed-use residentiallcommercial as a transitional use at appropriate locations; and utilize locational and design criteria to ensure compatibilitv between uses.

Allow a broad and range of commercial. retail. office, industrial. and supportive uses to meet the needs of workers and consumers, in well integrated, well functioning, high quality developments. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-22 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUP36 Develop business parks that fit into tHeir Require development to be compatible and well integrated into its surroundings and adiacent zones by grou-ping similar industries in order to through site and building: design and development standards that reduce or eliminate land use conflicts, nuisance impacts, or critical areas impacts: ensure proiect aesthetics: and allow promote sharing of public facilities and services,~ and improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and safety~ including access control and off-street interconnectivity between adioining: properties where feasible. LUP37 I::,ffiHt Allow general and specialty retail uses to these that serve the needs of people employed or residing in the local area7. as well as "destination" retail and wholesale businesses that may serve a broader consumer base vis-a-vis the area's convenient access to Interstate 5 and Highway 18. LUP38 Allow mixed-use residential/commercial as a transitional use adiacent to the established single family-zoned residential neighborhood located south of South 356th Street between Pacific Highway South and 16lh Avenue South. LUP39 Do not allow heavy industrial uses on properties that adioin a low or medium density residential zone. Commercial City Center Core The intent of establishing the City Center Core is to create a higher density, mixed-use designation where office, ,retail, government uses, and residential uses are concentrated. Other uses such as cultural/civic facilities, community services, and housing will be highly encouraged. City Center Frame The City Center Frame designation will have a look and feel similar to the Core and will provide a zone of less dense, mixed-use development physically surrounding a portion of the City Center Core. Together, they are meant to complement each other to create a "downtown" area. A more detailed description, along with goals and policies regarding the City Center Core and Frame, can be found in the City Center chapter. Community Business The Community Business designation enoompasses two major retail areas of the City along the 8R 99 Clorridor. It Clovers the "strip" retail areas along 8R 99 and the large "bulk" retail area found near the South 31811> Street area, ~proximately between 8R 99 and I 5. Cerimmnity Business allo'.vs a large range of uses and is the City's largest retail designation in terms of area. The COmrrRlnity Business designation generally runs along both sides of 8R 99 from South 27200 to South 31811>. A wide range of development types, ~pearanCle, ages, fl::lRction, and scale ",an be found along SR 99. Older, single story de'/elopments pro':ide eXClellent opportunities for redevelopment. It may be ~propriate to extend the Community Business designation to areas adjacent to the I 5/South 3201l>--iffitl.+ Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-23 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use 5/SR 18 interohanges as part of the initial adoption of the P AA Subarea Plan or as part of the annual eomprehensi'le plan amendment prooess. Due in part to con'lenient aocess and a'tailable land, the South 318"' Street area has beoome a preferred looation for large bulle retailers suoh as Eagle Hardware, Home Depot, and Costoo. Due to the size of these faeilities, the ohallenge will be to de'lelofl these uses into well funetioning, aesthetioally pleasing retail eRvironments. To create retail areas that are aesthetioally and functionally attraetive, re\ised develoflment standards, apflliea thrOl:lgh Cormmmity Business zoning and Conurntflity Design Guidelines, address design quality, mixed use, ana the integration of auto, pedestrian, and transit oiroulation. Site design, modHlation, and setbaelc requirements are also addressed. TlHough regulations in the Community Business land use chart, the size and scale of hotels, motels, and offioe uses haye been limited in scale so as not to oompete with the City Center. The Community Business designation encompasses two maior retail/commercial areas along: the SR-99 corridor, including the segment between South 272nd Street and South 312th Street. and the segment between South 324th Street and approximately South 339th Street. Presently, these areas are characterized by a wide range of development types and appearances. including: older, single-story developments that provide excellent redevelopment opportunities. This desi~ation also includes the property located at the northwest corner of 1 sl Avenue South and SW Campus Drive, which is subiect to a concomitant development agreement. The Community Business desimation allows a broad mix of uses, including general, specialty, and service retail; commercial; office; mixed-use commercial/residential; and supportive uses. This designation envisions low-rise to mid-rise, high quality developments containing a vibrant and compatible mix of well integrated and designed pedestrian- oriented and auto-oriented uses. Goal LUG6 Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive-, mixed use areas with a mix of uses that appeal to pedestriansL tHtfi motorists. and residents. and enhance the community's image. Policies LUP~OEncourage transformation of the Pacific Highway (SR-99) Community Business corridor~ into a quality retail/commercial mixed use area~7~ Retail deyelopment along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center, should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation7, and to improve traffic flow and safety, including access control and off-street interconnectivity between adioining properties where feasible. Continue to utilize Community Design Guidelines to ensure quality site and building design and functional and aesthetic compatibility between uses. Integration of ~ pedestrian amenities and open space into Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-24 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use retail and office development should also be encouraged. LUPJ941 Encourage auto oriented large bulk retailers to looate in the South 3181il-Street Community Business area. Encourage a range of pedestrian-oriented retail, while continuing to accommodate auto-oriented retail, and provide supportive uses to meet the needs of residents and employees in the area. Neighborhood Business There are a dozen 14 various sized nodes of Neighborhood Business located throughout the City. These nodes are areas that ha'/e historieally providea retail and/or services to adjacent residential areas. The FWCP recognizes the importance of architectural and site design guidelines to provide compatibility between neighborhood business areas and firmly fixed boundaries to preveRt eommereial intrusion into adjacent neighborhoods. Neighborhood Business areas are intended to provide convenient goods (e.g., groceries and hardware) and services (e.g., dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale close to adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential' and commercial uses provide a convenient living environment within these nodes. In the future, attention should be given to design features that enhance the appearance or function of these areas. Improvements may include sidewalks, open space and street trees, and parking either on street or oriented away from the street edge. The function of neighborhood business areas can also be enhanced by safe pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections to surrounding neighborhoods. The need to address expansion or intensification may occur in the future depending on population growth. Future neighborhood business locations should be carefully chosen and sized to meet the needs of adjacent residential areas. Goal LUG7 Provide neighborhood and community scale retail centers for the City's neighborhoods. Policies LUP4G42 Integrate retail developments into surrounding neighborhoods through attention to quality design and function. LUP4t43 Encourage pedestrian and bicycle access to neighborhood shopping and servIces. LUP~4Encourage neighborhood retail and personal services to locate at appropriate locations where local economic demand and design solutions demonstrate compatibility with the neighborhood. LUP4345Retail and personal services should be encouraged to group together within planned centers to allow for ease of pedestrian movement. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-25 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUP4446Neighborhood Business centers should consist of neighborhood scale retail and personal services. LUP4S47Encourage mixed residential and commercial development in Neighborhood Business designations where compatibility with nearby uses can be demonstrated. LUP4648Neighborhood Business areas should be served by transit. LUP4+49The City shall limit Flew commeroial development to existing commeroial areas to protect residential areas. In designating new or expanding existing Neighborhood Business centers. the adiacent zoning and land use shall be carefully considered. New Neighborhood Business centers are most appropriately located adiacent to multiple family and high-density sing:le-family residential areas. Commercial Recreation The Commercial Recreation designation acknowledges the unique recreational opportunity associated with the Enchanted Park property. Enchanted Park is an indoor/ outdoor amusement facility most noted for its water park. A preannexation concomitant development agreement has established the comprehensive plan designation and zoning (Office Park-4) particular to Enchanted Park. Office Federal Way is well known for its quality office parks. Developments within the East and West Campus areas embody good design and are representative of desired future office park development. Office park development in West Campus is complemented by the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters in East Campus. Together, office and corporate park development will provide new job opportunities within the community. Professional Office The Professional Office designation is intended to allow for well-designed small-scale office development compatible to adjacent residential neighborhoods. Office Park The Office Park designation emphasizes high quality office development that allows for a mix of office and compatible manufacturing type activities. This classification also permits a limited amount of retail support services, along with the current mix of office and light manufacturing uses. Corporate Park The Corporate Park designation applies to the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Campus, generally located east of Interstate Highway 5. The property is a unique site, both in terms of its development capacity and natural features. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-26 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Office Park designations with OP-l, 2, and 3 zoning and some residential designations north of Highway 18 surround the Corporate Park designation. The Corporate Park zone is currently being developed as corporate headquarters, offices, and ancillary uses. These types of developments are characterized by large contiguous sites containing landscaping, open space, and buildings of superior quality. Development standards and conditions for the Corporate Park designation is unique to Weyerhaeuser's property and are outlined in a preannexation concomitant development agreement between the City and Weyerhaeuser Corporation. Goal LUG8 Create office and corporate park development that is known regionally for its design and function. Policy LUP4850Continue to encourage quality office development in the East Campus Corporate Park designation. 2.8.5 SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM Purpose The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) identifies seven land and water use elements that, if appropriate to the community, are to be dealt with in the development of area-wide shoreline goals. They include: shoreline use, economic development, public access, conservation, recreation, historical/cultural, and circulation. Master programs are also encouraged to include any other elements which, because of present uses or future needs, are deemed appropriate to effectuate the policy of the SMA. Residential land use of shorelines ofthe state within Federal Way makes up the largest share of the developed shorelines in the City. Much of the undeveloped shoreline is in private ownership, subdivided into small lots and presently zoned to allow for residential use. Because of present and future needs of residential shoreline use, goals and policies have been formulated as part of a residential element to guide and plan for that development. The following comprehensive set of shoreline gpals provide the foundation and framework on which the balance of the master program has been based. These goals and policies are reflective of the level of achievement believed to be intrinsically desirable for all shoreline uses, needs, and developments, and establish a program policy commensurate with the intent and objectives of the SMA. The policies contained herein should be enforced through the applicable chapters of the FWCC. Revised 2003 2007.2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-27 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Shoreline Use Element An element' which deals with the distribution, location, and extent of: 1) the use of shorelines and adjacent areas for housing, transportation, office, public buildings and utilities, education, and natural resources; 2) the use of the water for aquaculture and recreation; and 3) the use of the water, shoreline, and uplands for other categories ofland and water uses and activities not specified in this master program. Goal LUG9 Preserve or develop shorelines, adjacent uplands, and adjacent water areas in a manner that assures a balance of shoreline uses with minimal adverse effect on the quality of life, water, and environment. Policies LUP4951 Shoreline land and water areas particularly suited for specific and appropriate uses should be designated and reserved for such uses. LUPSG52 Shoreline land and water uses should satisfy the economic, social, and physical needs of the regional population, but should not exceed the physical carrying capacity of the shoreline areas. L UPM53 Where appropriate, land and water uses should be located to restore or enhance the land and water environments. LUP~54Like or compatible shoreline uses should be clustered or distributed in a rational manner, rather than allowed to develop haphazardly. LUP~55Multiple uses of shoreline should be encouraged where location and integration of compatible uses or activities are feasible.

Federal Way should promote and encourage modes of transportation that consume the least amount of energy while providing the best efficiency with the least possible pollution. LUP+880General policies. a. New transportation developments in shoreline areas should provide turnout areas for scenic stops and off road rest areas where the topography, view, and natural features warrant. b. Shoreline roadway corridors with unique or historic significance, or of great aesthetic quality, should be retained and maintained for those characteristics. c. New transportation facilities crossing lakes, streams, or wetlands should be encouraged to locate in existing corridors, except where any adverse impact can be minimized by selecting an alternate corridor. Residential Element An element dealing with housing densities, residential subdivisions, shoreline access, necessary support services, and locations of single-family dwellings (including manufactured homes) and multiple-family dwellings without distinction between part-time or full-time occupancy. Goal LUG14 Shoreline residential areas shall permit a variety ofhousing types and designs with densities and locations consistent with the ability of physical and natural features to accommodate them. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-37 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Policies LUP+981 Residential developments should be excluded from shoreline areas known to contain development hazards or which would adversely impact sensitive areas as identified in Chapter 18, Division 6 of the FWCC. a. Residential development should be prohibited within the 100-year floodplain. b. Residential development should be prohibited in areas of severe or very severe landslide hazard. c. Residential development should be regulated in shoreline areas with slopes of 40 percent or greater. d. Shoreline areas containing other potential hazards (e. g., geological conditions, unstable subsurface conditions, erosion hazards, or groundwater or seepage problems) should be limited or restricted for development. e.

Residential development on piers or over water should not be permitted. c. Landfill for residential development wlHeft that reduces water surface or floodplain capacity should not be permitted. I d. In residential developments the water's edge should be kept free of buildings and fences. e. Every reasonable effort should be made to insure the retention of natural shoreline vegetation and other natural features of the landscape during site development and construction. L UP8183 Residential use of shorelines should not displace or encroach upon shoreline dependent uses. LUP~84Residential densities should be determined with regard for the physical capabilities of the shoreline areas, public services requirements, and effects such Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-38 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use densities have on the environment. a. Subdivisions and new development should be designed to adequately protect the water and shoreline aesthetic characteristics. b. New residential development should only be allowed in those shoreline areas where the provision for sewage disposal and drainage ways are of such a standard that adjoining water bodies would not be adversely affected by pollution or siltation. c. Residential development along shorelines should be set back from the ordinary high water mark far enough to make unnecessary such protective measures as filling, bulk heading, construction groins or jetties, or substantial regrading of the site. d. Residential developments should be designed to enhance the appearance of the shoreline and not substantially interfere with the public's view and access to the water. Shoreline Environments Purpose In order to more effectively implement the goals, objectives, and policies ofthis master program and the SMA, the shorelines of the state within Federal Way have been categorized into four separate environment designations. The purpose of these designations is to differentiate between areas whose geographical features and existing development pattern imply differing objectives regarding their use and future development. Each environment represents a particular emphasis in the type of uses and the extent of development that should occur within it. The system is designed to encourage uses in each environment wffieh that enhance the character of the environment while at the same time requiring reasonable standards and restrictions on development so that the character of the environment is not destroyed. The determination as to which designation should be given to any specific shoreline area has been based on, and is reflective of, the existing development pattern; the biophysical capabilities and limitations of the land; and the goals and aspirations of the local citizenry. Each environment category includes: (1) a definition describing the development, use, and/or features which characterize the area; (2) a purpose which clarifies the meaning and intent of the designation; and, (3) general policies designed to regulate use and development consistent with the character of the environment. Urban Environment The urban environment is an area of high-intensity land use including residential, office, Revised 2003 2007.2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-39 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use and recreational development. The environment is particularly suitable to those areas presently subjected to intensive land use pressure, as well as areas planned to accommodate urban expansion. The purpose of designating the urban environment is to ensure optimum utilization of shorelines within urbanized areas by permitting intensive use and by managing development so that it enhances and maintains the shoreline for a multiplicity of urban uses. The environment is designed to reflect a policy of increasing utilization and efficiency of urban areas, promote a more intensive level of use through redevelopment of areas now underutilized, and encourage multiple use of the shoreline if the major use is shoreline dependent. Policies LUP~85Emphasis should be given to development within already developed areas. LUP8486Emphasis should be given to developing visual and physical access to the shoreline in the urban environment. LUP8S87To enhance the waterfront and insure maximum public use, commercial facilities should be designed to permit pedestrian waterfront activities consistent with public safety and security. LUP8&88Multiple use of the shoreline should be encouraged. L UP8+89 Redevelopment and renewal of substandard areas should be encouraged in order to accommodate future users and make maximum use of the shoreline resource. L UP8890 Aesthetic considerations should be actively promoted by means of sign control regulations, architectural design standards, landscaping requirements, and other such means. LUP899 1 Development should not significantly degrade the quality of the environment, including water quality and air quality, nor create conditions that would accentuate erosion, drainage problems, or other adverse impacts on adjacent environments. Rural Environment The rural environment is intended for shoreline areas characterized by agricultural uses, low density residential (where most urban services are not available), and areas which provide buffer zones and open space between predominantly urban areas. Undeveloped shorelines not planned for urban expansion or which do not have a high priority for designation in an alternative environment, and recreational uses compatible with agricultural activities are appropriate for the rural environment. The purpose of designating the rural environment is to preserve agricultural land, restrict intensive development along undeveloped shorelines, function as a buffer between urban Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-40 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use areas, and maintain open spaces and opportunities for recreational uses within the ecological carrying capacity of the land and water resource. New developments in a rural environment should reflect the character of the surrounding area by limiting density, providing permanent open space, and maintaining adequate building setbacks from the water to prevent shoreline resources from being destroyed for other rural types of uses. Policies LUP9092Recreational access to the shorelines should be encouraged. Recreational facilities should be located and designed to minimize conflicts with other activities. LUP9l93New development should reflect the character of the surrounding area by limiting residential density, providing permanent open space, and maintaining adequate building setbacks from the water. Conservancy Environment The conservancy environment consists of shoreline areas that are primarily free from intensive development. It is the most suitable designation for shoreline areas of high scenic or historical values, for areas unsuitable for development due to biophysical limitations, and for c'ommercial forestlands. Conservancy areas are intended to maintain their existing character. This designation is designed to protect, conserve, and manage existing natural resources and valuable historic and cultural areas. The preferred uses are those wffieh that are nonconsumptive of the physical and biological resources of the area. Policies LUP~94New development should be restricted to those that are compatible with the natural and biophysical limitations of the land and water. LUP9395Diverse recreational activities that are compatible with the conservancy environment should be encouraged. LUP9496Development that would be a hazard to public health and safety, or would materially interfere with the natural processes, should not be allowed. LUP9S97The flood hazard overzone regulations shall apply to development within flood plains. LUP%98 Structural flood control devices should be strongly discouraged in the conservancy environment. LUP9+99In areas with poorly draining soils, development should not be allowed unless connected to a sewer line. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-41 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUP98100 Development should be regulated so as to minimize the following: erosion or sedimentation, the adverse impact on aquatic habitats, and substantial degradation of the existing character of the conservancy environment. Natural Environment The natural environment consists of areas characterized by the presence of some unique natural features considered valuable in their undisturbed or original condition and which are relatively intolerant of intensive human use. Such areas should be essentially free from development or be capable of being easily restored to natural condition, and they should be large enough to protect the value of the resource. The purpose of designating the natural environment is to preserve and restore those natural resource systems existing relatively free of human influence. These systems require severe restrictions of intensities and types of uses permitted so as to maintain the integrity of the natural environment. Policies LUP99101 Natural areas should remain free from all development that would adversely affect their natural character. LUPlOOI02 The intensity and type of uses permitted should be restricted in order to maintain the natural systems and resources in their natural condition. LUPtMI03 Limited access should be allowed to those areas in the natural environment. LUP~104 Uses which are consumptive of the physical and biological resources, or which may degrade the actual or potential value of the natural environment, should be prohibited. LUP~105 Uses and activities in locations adjacent to natural areas should be strictly regulated to insure that the integrity of the natural environment is not compromised. Shoreline Use Activities Purpose Shoreline use activities are specific uses, or groups of similar uses, that have been outlined by the Department of Ecology Final Guidelines as being characteristic of the shorelines of the state. They have been formulated as implementing tools to further carry out the intent and policy of this master program and the SMA. They also represent a major criterion to be used in evaluating proposed development and alterations to the shoreline environment; with their ultimate influence, to a large extent, dependent upon how well they are enforced. The policies that make up each use actiVity have been founded on the premise that all Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-42 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use reasonable and appropriate uses require regulatory control. Other provisions such as a view enhancement, public access, erosion control, water quality, long term benefits, and aesthetic considerations have also been reflected in policy statements. Shoreline uses and activities not specifically identified, and for which policies have not been developed, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will be required to meet the intent of the goals and objectives of this master program, the policy of the SMA, and shall be consistent with the management policy and character of the shoreline environment in which they propose to locate. ' Aquatic Resource Practices Of all facets of economic shoreline activity, production from fisheries is the most vulnerable to massive destruction from an error in environmental control. Close monitoring of water quality and an aggressive policy of pollution abatement and control are mandatory for full realization and sustenance of this economic base. Aquaculture addresses state hatcheries, commercial hatcheries and beds, and natural hatcheries and beds within Federal Way shorelines. Underwater aquaria are considered as aquaculture although the use is principally recreational. Aquaculture has two modes: 1. The harvest of uncontained plant and animal populations that exist on the nutrients and foods available in the environment restock themselves according to the fecundity of the population, and survive as the food and nature allow. 2. Artificial stocking or raising of stock in feedlots or pens using selective breeding and controlled feeding programs for increasing production and rearing a uniform product. Pen culture requires confinement and the presence of fixed structures that compete for space. Pens, rafts, and hatcheries require certain environmental conditions to assure the survival of their contained populations. Some of these conditions are small wave forces, good flow, good water quality, temperature limits, good anchoring ground and accessibility, and, possibly, good natural food and nutrient supply. The confinement of fish or shellfish in concentration imposes an extreme biological load in a small area. Dense populations degrade water quality and deposit heavy fecal sediments below the pens or on the floor of embayments. The principal impacts of aquacultural activity within the shoreline are: 1. Pollutants in the water body such as fish, organic wastes, and additives for feeding and disease control. 2. Navigation hazards such as holding pens, rafts, nets, and stakes. Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-43 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use 3. Watercourse alteration to supply water. 4. Netting and flooring of riverbeds for spawning channels. 5. Shoreline access limitations where shellfish are being protected and contained. Policies LUP-W4106 Federal Way's support should be given to the State Departments of Fisheries and Game to improve stream conditions, open new spawning areas, and establish new fish runs. LUPlOSI07 Pens and structures for commercial aquaculture should not be located on Class I beaches, or swimming beaches. LUP-lQ6108 Aquacultural enterprises should be located in areas that would not significantly restrict navigation. LUP~109 In aquaculture enterprises, development of multiple aquaculture systems should be encouraged. LUP!()811 0 Aquacultural structures should use open pile construction where significant littoral drift occurs. L UPl()9111 Prior to use of an area for aquacultural enterprises, consideration should be given to the capability of the water body to absorb potential wastes. LUP-t-H}1l2 Shoreline areas having extremely high natural potential for aquaculture should be preserved for that purpose. Commercial Development . Commercial development pertains generally to the use or construction of facilities for transaction and sale of goods and services as opposed to industrial development (treatment together with ports) wfi.i.eh that pertains to the design and fabrication of products. The principal impact factors upon the shoreline from commercial development are pollutants (e.g., erosion, sedimentary, chemical, and microbial) and aesthetic destruction. Erosive pollutants from commercial development are generated from surface runoff and both surface and sub-surface subsidence. ChemiCal pollution is derived from fuel spillage. Microbial loading arises from poor containment of organic wastes associated with human habitation and recreational activities. Policies Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-44 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUPl-H-1l3 Consideration should be made ofthe effect a structure will have on scenic value. LUP-l-H.1l4 Commercial structures and ancillary facilities that are not shoreline dependent or water-oriented should be placed inland away from the immediate water's edge. LUPl-H115 The use of porous materials should be encouraged for paved areas to allow water to penetrate and percolate into the soil. Use of holding systems should be encouraged to control the runoff rate from parking lots and roof tops. LUPH4116 Commercial enterprises locating within shoreline areas should be constructed to withstand normal rain and flooding conditions without contributing pollution to the watercourse or shoreline. LUPH-S117 Commercial development that is not shoreline dependent should provide a buffer zone of vegetation for erosion control. Utilities Few, if any, utility systems could be installed completely without coming under the jurisdiction of this master program. The focus of the policies in this section is on how these utility facilities within the shoreline environment can be planned, designed, constructed, maintained, and rehabilitated to be consistent with the intent of the SMA. Types of utility facilities in Federal Way vary from regional transmission by trunklines, pipelines, and transmission lines to subregional distribution facilities. These are essentially pipes and wires. Regional facilities generally are high voltage or high pressure systems with substantial potential impact in case of failure. Their impacts on the environment are also generally greater because of their scale and safety requirements. The types of utilities covered are communications (radio, TV, and telephone), energy distribution (petroleum products, natural gas, and electricity), water, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers. Policies LUPlHt1l8 Utilities that lead to growth should not be extended into or along shorelines without prior approval of such extension by appropriate land use authority. . LUPH-+1l9 Utilities located in shoreline environments inappropriate for development should not make service available to those areas. LUPH8120 In developed shorelines not served by utilities, utility construction should be encouraged to locate where it can be shown that water quality will be maintained or improved. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-45 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUPH-9121 Federal Way should be consulted prior to, or at the time of, application for construction of regional utility facilities to be located in or along shorelines. LUPH-G122 Utility corridors crossing shorelines ofthe state should be encouraged to consolidate and concentrate or share rights-of-way where: a. Public access (including view) would be improved. b. Concentration or sharing would not hinder the ability of the utility systems to be installed, operated, or maintained safely. c. Water quality would be as good or better than if separate corridors were present. LUPHH23 Public access consistent with public safety and security should be encouraged where rights-of-way for regional utility facilities cross shorelines of the City. LUPlU124 New utility facilities should be located so as neither to require extensive shoreline protection nor to restrict water flow, circulation, or navigation. LUP~125 Utility facilities and rights-of-way should be selected to preserve the natural landscape and minimize conflicts with present and planned uses of the land on which they are located. LUP-H4126 New utility routes should be designed to minimize detrimental visual impact from the water and adjacent uplands. LUPHS127 New freestanding personal wireless service facilities are discouraged from locating within the shoreline environment. Shoreline Protection Shoreline protection is action taken to reduce adverse impacts caused by current, flood, wake, or wave action. This action includes all structural and nonstructural means to reduce these impacts due to flooding, erosion, and accretion. Specific structural and nonstructural means included in this use activity are bulkheads, rip-rap, bank stabilization, and other means of shoreline protection. The means taken to reduce damage caused by erosion, accretion, and flooding must recognize the positive aspects of each, so that the benefits of these natural occurrences will be retained, even as the problems are dealt with. Erosion does not exist without accretion of material eroded, be it a bench or a sandbar. Likewise, accretion cannot occur unless material has been eroded. Policies LUPH&128 Structural solutions to reduce shoreline damage should be allowed only Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-46 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use after it is demonstrated that nonstructural solutions would not be able to reduce the damage. LUP~129 Planning of shoreline protection should encompass sizable stretches of lake or marine shorelines. This planning should consider off-site erosion, accretion, or flood damage that might occur as a result of shoreline protection structures or activities. LUP~130 Shoreline protection on marine and lake shorelines should not be used as the reason for creating new or newly usable land. LUPH913 1 Shoreline protection structures should allow passage of ground and surface waters into the main water body. LUPl3{)132 Shoreline protection should not reduce the volume and storage capacity of rivers and adjacent wetlands or flood plains. LUPtM133 Whenever shoreline protection is needed, bioengineered alternatives such as natural berms and erosion control vegetation plans should be favored over hard surfaced structural alternatives such as concrete bulkheads and sheet piles. LUP~134 The burden of pro off or the need for shoreline protection to protect existing or proposed developments rests on the applicant. LUP~135 Shoreline protection activities that may necessitate new or increased shoreline protection on the same or other affected properties where there has been no previous need for protection should be discouraged. LUPtJ4136 New development should be encouraged to locate so as not to require shoreline protection. LUPt35137 Areas of significance in the spawning, nesting, rearing, or residency of aquatic and terrestrial biota should be given special consideration in reviewing of shoreline protection actions. LUPH9138 Shoreline protection actions should be discouraged in areas where they would block beach parent material. L UPH+139 Multiple uses of shoreline protection structures or nonstructural solutions should be encouraged. Transportation Facilities The circulation network use category addresses transportation facilities such as roads, railroads, bridges, trails, and related facilities. The impact of these facilities on shorelines can be substantial. Some existing facilities were constructed to serve transportation needs of the moment with a minimum expenditure and very little assessment of their primary or secondary impacts on shoreline aesthetics, public access to the water, and resultant effects Revised 2003 2007.2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-47 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use on adjacent properties and water quality. Planning for new transportation facilities within the shoreline area today requires a greater awareness of the' environmental impacts transportation facilities will have on shorelines, in addition to the necessity for integrating future shoreline land use plans with the transportation system that serves developments on the shoreline. Policies LUPH8140 Pedestrian access should be built where access to public shorelines is desirable and has been cut off by linear transportation corridors. New linear facilities should enable pedestrian access to public shorelines where access is desirable. LUPH9141 New surface transportation facilities not related to, and necessary for the support of, shoreline activities should be set back from the ordinary high water mark far enough to make unnecessary protective measures such as rip rap or other bank stabilization, land-fill, bulkheads, groins, jetties, or substantial site regrade. LUPt4{)142 Shoreline transportation facilities should be encouraged to include in their , design and development multi-modal provisions where public safety can be assured. LUPt4l143 Shoreline transportation facilities should be planned to fit the topography and minimize cuts and fills; and should be designed, located, and maintained to minimize erosion and degradation of water quality and to give special consideration to shoreline aesthetics. LUP~144 Transportation and utility facilities should be encouraged to coordinate joint use of rights-of-way and to consolidate crossings of water bodies when doing so can minimize adverse impact to the shoreline. LUP~145 Transportation facilities should avoid shoreline areas known to contain development hazards (e.g. slide and slump areas, poor foundation soils, marshes, etc.). LUPt44146 Transportation facilities should minimize shoreline rights-of-way by orienting generally perpendicular to the shoreline where topographic conditions will allow. LUPt4S147 Shoreline roadways should have a high priority for arterial beautification funds. LUPl4(t148 Abandoned road or railroad rights-of-way that contain unique shoreline amenities should be acquired for public benefit. LUPt4+149 Federal Way should extend its trail and bicycle trail system, particularly as it relates to shorelines, to western Federal Way. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-48 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUPl48150 All transportation facilities in shoreline areas should be constructed and maintained to cause the least possible adverse impacts on the land and water environments, should respect the natural character of the shoreline, and should make every effort to preserve wildlife, aquatic life, and their habitats. Piers and Moorages A pier is a structure built over or floating upon the water extending from the shore. Some are used as a landing place for marine transport or for recreational watercraft. Piers are designed and constructed as either water (floating) or pile supported, both of which have positive and negative environmental aspects. Floating piers generally have less of a visual impact than those on piling and they provide excellent protection for swimmers from boat traffic. Floating piers however, interrupt littoral drift and can starve down current beaches where pile piers do not. Pile piers can provide a diverse habitat for marine life. Both types can create impediments to boat traffic and near-shore trolling. Pier construction requires regulation to protect navigation rights, preserve shoreline aesthetics, and maintain the usable water surface and aquatic lands for life forms characteristic and important to those areas. Policies LUP.J.49151 Open pile pier construction should be preferred where there is significant littoral drift, where scenic values will not be impaired, and where minimal alteration to the shoreline and minimal damage to aquatic resources can be assured. LUPl-S()152 Floating pier construction should be, preferred in those areas where scenic values are high. LUPl-Sl-153 Piers should be discouraged where conflicts with recreational boaters and other recreational water activities would be created by pier construction. LUPlQ154 The random proliferation of single purpose piers should be discouraged. Preference should be given to shared use of piers in all shoreline areas. LUPtQ155 Temporary moorages should be permitted for vessels used in the construction of shoreline facilities. The design and construction of such moorages shall be such that upon termination of the project the aquatic life can be returned to their original condition within one year at no cost to the environment or the public. LUPlM156 Shoreline structures that are abandoned or structurally unsafe should be abated. LUPlSS157 Substantial additions or alterations, including but not limited to substantial developments, should be in conformance with the policies and regulations set forth in the master program. LUPl5&158 Piers, docks, buoys, and other moorages should only be authorized after Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment 11-49 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use consideration of: a. The effect such structures have on wild-life and aquatic life, water quality, scenic and aesthetic values, unique and fragile areas, submerged lands, and shoreline vegetation. b. The effect such structures have on navigation, water circulation, recreational and commercial boating, sediment movement and littoral drift, and shoreline access. LUPJ.S+159 Moorage buoys should be preferred over floating and pile constructed piers on all tidal waters. LUPlS8160 Floating structures and open pile structures are preferred over landfills or solid structures in water areas used by salmon and steelhead. Recreation Recreational experiences that depend on, or utilize, the shoreline include: harvesting activities offish, shellfish, fowl, minerals, and driftwood; various forms of boating, swimming, and shoreline pathways; and watching or recording activities, such as photography, painting, or the viewing of water dependent activities. Principal focal points are at parks and access beaches, road ends, viewpoints, features of special interest, water- access points, and destination points for boaters. Facilities at these focal points may include fishing piers, swimming floats, paths, parking areas, boat ramps, moorings, and accessory recreational facilities. The management of recreational land is determined by balancing the recreational carrying capacity (or impact of the environment on people) and the ecological carrying capacity (the impact of people on the environment). Measures to accomplish this are by designation of areas for use-intensity, interpretation, and regulation. These different recreational use areas coincide with the fourenvironmentsCnatural, conservancy, rural, and urban. There are multiple benefits derived from the park program, for example: recreational lands contribute substantially to open space by conservation of land, preserving historic sites, offering aesthetic relief and variety, contributing to a healthful environment, and shaping and preserving the community form. In addition to the provisions of recreational opportunities, Federal Way coordinates with other governmental agencies, commercial, and volunteer groups to provide these opportunities for the public. The policies are directed toward providing shoreline dependent and water oriented recreational opportunities. They are also directed at protecting health and safety by separating incompatible activities and channeling them into their most appropriate environments. Policies LUPlS9161 The development of recreational acquisition plans should give emphasis to the acquisition of prime recreation lands prior to their being preempted for other uses. LUPJ@162 In open spaces having an established sense of nature, improvements Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-50 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use should be limited to those that are necessary and unlikely to detract from the primary values of the site. LUPlM-163 The siting of all developments should aim to enhance and protect the area concerned. LUPlQ164 Structural forms should harmonize the topography, reinforce the use area, minimize damage to natural resources, and support recreation with minimal conflict. LUP~165 New buildings should be made sympathetic to the scale, form, and proportion of older development to promote harmony in the visual relationships and transitions between new and older buildings. LUPl64166 Whenever possible, natural materials should be used in developing shoreline recreational areas. LUPMS167 Artificial irrigation and fertilization should be restricted to high-intensity use areas. LUP~168 Existing buildings that enhance the character of the shoreline should be used for recreation wherever possible. LUP~169 Underwater parks should be extensions of shoreline parks, or be created or enhanced by artificial reefs where natural conditions or aquatic life could be observed with minimal interference. L UPM8170 Public recreational shoreline areas should serve as emergency havens of refuge for boaters. LUP169171 Physical and/or visual access to the water should use steep slopes, view points from bluffs, stream valleys, and features of special interest where it is possible to place pathways consistent with public safety without requiring extensive flood or erosion protection. LUPlfOl72 The acquisition of public easements to the shoreline through private or quasi-public shorelines should be encouraged. Lupm173 Existing public recreation shorelines should be restored where it is possible to revegetate; resite roads and parking areas that are close to the shoreline; and remove stream channelization and shoreline protection devices when the facility has either deteriorated or is inconsistent with the general goals of this program. LUPln174 Prime-fishing areas should be given priority for recreational use. LUP-t-+.l175 Boating activities that increase shore erosion should be discouraged. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-51 FWCP - Chapter Two. Land Use LUPH4176 Effective interpretation should be provided to raise the quality of visitor experiences and provide an understanding of the resource. Residential Development The shorelines in Federal Way are more widely used for residential purposes than for any other use. Much of the undeveloped shoreline is privately owned, subdivided into small lots, and zoned to permit residential development. The pressure to develop shorelines for residential uses has continued to result in property subdivision and escalating waterfront land values. Residential development of shorelines is accomplished in a variety of ways from large plats and subdivisions to single lot development for housing; any of which, if poorly planned, can culminate in the degradation of the shoreline environment and water resource. The SMA generally exempts, ".. . construction on shorelands by an owner, lessee or contract purchaser of a single-family residence for his own use or the use of his family..." from its permit requirements. However, even though single-family homes are not considered substantial developments, the intent of the act has established the basis for planning and regulating them. Policies LUPl+S177 Residential developments should be permitted only where there are adequate provisions for utilities, circulation, access, site layout, and building design. LUPt-+(t178 Subdivisions should be designed at a level of density, site coverage, and occupancy compatible with the physical capabilities of the shoreline and water body. LUP-t-++179 Residential development plans submitted for approval should contain provisions for protection of groundwater supplies, erosion control, landscaping, and maintenance of the shoreline integrity. LUPl-18180 Residential subdivisions should be designed so as to protect water quality, shoreline aesthetic characteristics, vistas, and normal public use of the water. LUPt-+9181 Subdivisions should provide public pedestrian access to the shorelines within the development in accordance with public access element of this master program. LUP!8()182 The established velocity, quantity, and quality of stormwater discharge should be considered in terms of the sensitivity of the proposed receiving environment. The disposal mode selected should minimize changes in infiltration, runoff, and groundwater recharge. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-52 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUP-t-8l183 Developers of recreational projects such as summer homes, cabins, campgrounds, and similar facilities should satisfactorily demonstrate: a. The suitability of the site to accommodate the proposed development without adversely affecting the shoreline environment and water resource. b. Adequate provisions for all necessary utilities, including refuse disposal, and the compatibility of the development with adjacent properties and surrounding land uses. c. That recreational opportunity exists on the site and does not depend on adjacent public land to furnish the activity. 2.9 ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES Pursuant to the GMA, no comprehensive plan can preclude the siting of essential public facilities and each should include a process for siting essential public facilities. The GMA includes these provisions because siting certain public facilities has become difficult due to the impacts many of these facilities have on the community. In Chapter 22 of the FWCC, the City has defined essential public facilities and provided a land use process for siting them. Essential public facilities include those facilities that are typically difficult to site, such as airports, state or regional transportation systems, correctional facilities, and mental health facilities. Policy LUP~184 The FWCC shall include a list oflocally defined essential public facilities that shall include the list of essential state public facilities maintained by the office of financial management. 2.10 PHASING Phasing focuses growth to those areas where public investments for services are targeted. By doing so, these areas become more attractive for development. Consistent with the CWPPs, Federal Way proposes to use a tiered system for accommodating future growth. The primary purpose of this technique is to assure a logical sequence of growth outward from developed areas. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-53 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use Future growth will be directed to the City Center and other areas with existing infrastructure and urban services. This will be followed by focusing growth to areas where . in-fill potential exists. Lastly, growth will be directed toward areas of undeveloped land or to the City's P AA. For those areas of the City that are lacking services, these lands should be retained or reserved until build out has occurred in developed areas. Based on the phased growth concept outlined above, the City should develop criteria for a phasing plan over the next 10 and 20 years. Phased growth will promote efficient use of land by: . Reducing taxpayers costs by locating new development nearest to existing urban servIces; . Adding predictability to service & facility planning; . Reducing commuter miles and protecting air quality by locating housing and jobs . near each other; . Encouraging in-fill and redevelopment where environmental impacts have already occurred; and . Reserving land for future parks and open space. Policies LUP~185 Establish priority areas for public facility and service improvements, especially for transportation. Priority areas should be located where public facility and service improvements would effectively advance Federal Way's growth vision. Priority areas will shift over time as improvements are installed and an acceptable level of service is attained. LUPl84186 When and where service deficiencies are identified, the City, along with service providers, will develop capital improvement programs to remedy identified deficiencies in a timely fashion or will phase growth until such programs can be completed. L UP~187 Work with King County through the development of an interlocal agreement to assign phasing to the City's P AA. LUPt86188 The City should limit spending on capital facilities in those areas of the City and P AA that are not designated as priority areas for capital projects. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-54 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use 2.11 INCENTIVES In certain designations, incentives allowing more development than otherwise permitted should be used to encourage features that provide a public benefit and/or contribute to the mitigation of growth impacts. For example, development in the City Center that provides common open space or affordable housing units, may gain additional floors or a reduction in the number of parking stalls. In addition, in order to encourage development in the City Center, the City is in the process of discussing has adopted a Housing Tax Exemption for multiple family housing and is considering preparing has prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) a Planned Action SEP A for a portion of the City Center. Incentives can play an important role in the development of the City Center and must be substantial enough to influence market conditions by making them attractive to the development community. Policies LUP-l8+189 Develop incentives to encourage desired development in commercial areas, especially in the City Center Core and Frame. LUP188190 Consider incentives for desired multiple-family residential development (townhouses, duplexes, etc.). 2.12 HISTORIC RESOURCES Historic preservation involves the identification, maintenance, renovation, and reuse of buildings and sites important to a community's history. Buildings or sites may be associated with a particular style or period in the community's past, or with historic or significant historic events or persons. Historic preservation to date has largely been undertaken by the Historical Society of Federal Way. Historic preservation is listed as the 13 th goal in the GMA which encourages jurisdictions to, "Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures, that have historical or archaeological significance. " Goal LUG15 Use historic resources as an important element in the overall design of the City. Policies , LUP-l89191 Identify vista points and landmarks such as major trees, buildings, and land forms for preservation. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-55 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use LUPl94)l92 Develop a process to designate historic landmark sites and structures. Use developer incentives or other mechanisms to ensure that these sites and structures will continue to be a part of the community. LUPt-9l193 Recognize the heritage of the community by naming (or renaming) parks, streets, and other public places after major figures and/or events. LUP~194 Zoning should be compatible with and conducive to continued preservation of historic neighborhoods and properties. LUP~195 Safeguard and manifest Federal Way's heritage by preserving those sites, buildings, structures, and objects which reflect significant elements of the City's history. LUPl94196 Catalog historic sites using the City's geographic information system. LUPJ.9S197 Undertake an effort to publicly commemorate historic sites. LUPl96198 The City shall continue to work with the Historical Society of Federal Way towards attainment of historic resource policies. 2.13 IMPLEMENTATION The following actions are recommended to implement the policy direction outlined in this chapter. Implementation will occur over time and is dependent on resources available to the City and community. The following items are not listed in order of importance or preference. Establish Comprehensive Planning and Zoning for Potential Annexation Area Comprehensive planning and the assignment ef zoning designations shol:lld be oompleted for the City's P fJ'.. A PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Studv was prepared in 2003. This will Study provide~ the City with needed direction relating to future annexations and growth. Planning for this area pursuant to WAC 365-195 requires a considerable planning effort and policy development. An interlocal agreement between King County and the City regarding planning aotions should be prepared. Residential Code Revisions for Multiple Family Residential code revisions to implement design standards for multiple-family residential development were adopted in late 1998. Subdivision Code Revisions Amendments to the subdivision code have been adopted to bring the code into compliance with state law and recent state legislation. Revisions to the subdivision code have provided Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment II-56 FWCP - Chapter Two, Land Use platting options for single-family development, such as clustering and zero lot line development. Area-Wide Rezone Following adoption of the 1995 FWCP, a new zoning map was prepared and adopted to support the comprehensive plan designations. This update includesg some site specific requests for changes to comprehensive plan designations. The zoning map \....m be amended to conform to the changes in land use designations. The Land Use Plan and Zoning Code Implementation of policies and goals of the Land Use chapter is done in large part through the zoning code. Following adoption ofthe 1995 FWCP, the City made revisions to the zoning code, consistent with FWCP direction. The zoning conversion chart, Table II-3 (page 55), shows the connection between the various zoning designations and the comprehensive plan designations. Phasing Plan A phasing plan shall be prepared to prioritize areas of new growth based on available and proposed infrastructure improvements. Project Environmental Impact Statement for City Center To facilitate growth in the City Center and Frame, the City shooki has completeg ~ Planned Action SEP A (PAS). By doing so, development consistent with the direction outlined in the PAS will not have to go through prolonged environmental review. This can be a powerful incentive for private development in the City Center. Subarea Plans Over the years, citizens from various areas of the City have come forth to testify before the Planning Commission and City Council regarding their neighborhood or business area. Development of subarea plans can lead to area specific visions and policies. This type of specific planning, developed with citizen input and direction, can lead to improved confidence and ownership in the community. Areas where subarea planning should be considered include: SR-99 Corridor, South 348th Street area, the South 356th area, and Twin Lakes neighborhood. Incentives Develop an incentives program, for both residential and commercial development. Incentives should be substantial enough to attract development and should be used to create affordable and desired types of housing and to encourage development within the City Center.

It considers the need to stimulate economic development throughout the state, but requires that these activities be balanced with the need to protect the physical environment. It encourages the efficient use of land, the availability of urban services, and the financing strategies necessary to pay for infrastructure. Finally, the GMA mandates that communities do their planning and then provide the zoning and regulatory environment so that appropriate development can occur. It recognizes that while the public sector can shape and influence development, it is the private sector that generates community growth. The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) has also adopted region-wide goals and objectives to guide multi-jurisdictional transportation and land use policies that will be implemented through local comprehensive plans. Economic development is implicit in many of the goals and objectives of VISION 2020. The VISION 2020 strategy emphasizes that continued economic stability and diversity is dependent upon public and private sector collaboration to identify needs, such as infrastructure and land, and to invest in services that will promote economic activity. VISION 2020 also emphasizes that the stability of the regional economy increases when it develops and diversifies through the retention and strengthening of existing businesses and the creation of new business. King County, through its growth management planning policies and process, re- emphasizes the economic development implications of growth management. The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) promote the creation of a healthy and diverse economic climate. The CWPPs describe the need to strengthen, expand, and diversify the economy. They encourage protection of our natural resources and enhancement of our human resources through education and job training. The CWPPs also speak to the need to make an adequate supply of land available for economic development by providing necessary infrastructure and a reasonable permitting process. Within this policy framework, Federal Way has outlined a vision of its economic development future. Its vision is to transform itself from largely a bedroom-community of Seattle into a diversified, full-service, and self-contained city (Map IV-1, located at the end of the chapter). However, in doing so, it is important to remember that Federal Way is part of the larger Puget Sound economy, and therefore, this transformation will depend in large part on the market forces at work within the greater region. To achieve this vision, the City must diversify its employment base by adding more professional and managerial jobs, and by increasing the overall number of jobs in order to improve the balance between jobs and households in the City. The potential is there. Federal Way's unique location between the two regional centers of Seattle and Tacoma, both with large concentrations of population and large, successful ports, and its relationship within the FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Central Puget Sound region represent significant opportunities. The City is also home to Weyerhaeuser's Corporate Headquarters, located '.vithin East Campus, and the \Vest Campus Offioe Park, two of the premier office parle areas in the region. prominent regional, national. and international businesses. Headquarters for Fortune 500 corporations, such as timber giant Weyerhaeuser and internationally known World Vision. are located in Federal Way. Federal Way is also home to St. Francis Hospital. which was named one of the top 100 hospitals in America. In addition, the City holds unique regional attractions for entertainment and recreation, such as Celebration Park, King County Aquatic Center, and Six Flags Enchanted ParksfWild Waves. The City's economic development vision is based on the following: 1) economic and demographic analysis; 2) market analysis oflong-term real estate development in Federal Way; 3) synthesis of real estate and development trends in the Central Puget Sound area; and 4) revie'N and oomment from the PlaMing Commission the City's vision for the future of Federal Way. 4.1 SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS Q"ervieu1 ... ... ...... Sinoe the last update to this ohapter ofthe Fcdcr-a.l W6Y Cemprchcnsi'/c Pla:n (FWCP), there have been significant changes in the local, regional, national, and international economic oonditions. Previously riding a sustained, strong economic wave associated with extraordinary gro',',th in the high teeh industries, strong growth in the airline industry, and generally positive national and international perceptions of the Pacifio Northwest, the Seattle Tacoma metropolitan region, and the State onVashington, '.Vashington began to sho'll early signs of an economio do',vnturn by mid 2001. Riots in nearby Seattle, first assooiated ",..ith the meeting of the World Trade Organization in November 1999, and later with the 2001 Mardi Gras festivities, had begun a series of negative publioity images of Seattle and the Seattle area. This negati'/e publicity v..as exacerbated by the February 28,2001, Nisqually Earthquake, and later in 2001 by the Boeing Company's announoement that it was moving its cOTflorate headquarters to Chicago. In addition, by mid 2001, the national eeonomy had begun to slow dovm, the "dot oom" industry had suffered a generalized melt down, and the Pacific Rim oountries, upon whioh so much of this state's trade depends, continued to slide further into their ovm reoessions. The eff-cets of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on thiccountry jolted the eoonomies of most of the ,-vorld' s countries and regions, but had a particularly hard impact on the Puget Sound region. As air travel related commeroe plummeted v/orld'.vide, the Boeing Company, its affiliates, and related industries, saw sharp drops in orders, and Boeing announced its intentions to lay off tens of thousands of workers over the ensuing t'.\'o years. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-2 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development By the begiooing of 2002, lay offs around the Puget Sound regien became a commonfllace occurrence, stemming from cutbacks at Boeing, other companies related te the airline and travel industries, and numerous "dot com" and high tech oompanies. HOVleyer, aooording to the 2002 King County "^~-.nual Gro\vth Report, the King County eoonemy remains strong despite severe shocks. Uflemployment has risen to 6.2 percent as of Jooe 2002, but that level is no 'Norse than the historical average. Aerospace emplo)'fllent in the Puget Sound region now stands at 72,000, with about 47,000 of that in King Ceunty. I\ltheugh well below its record employment leyels, the aerespaoe sector continues to pro'lide high 'Nages to local workers. High teoh eontinues to eJtpand despite the shakeout of a few companics. Other services, wholesale, and retail lost emplo)'fllent bef-ore the recession hit aerospacc, so they may be ready to grow again in the coming year. Thc signifioant oyerall income grov.th in software ana other seotors propelled King CmHlty into eighth plaoe am.ong all 3,100 counties in the United States in total payroll paid ffilring 1998. Meas\:H'ed at $41 billion by the Census Bureau, King County's total business payroll exeeeded that ef 26 states, including Oregon, \vhioh has twice as many people as Kifl.g County. "^.mong other issues raised by such large numbers is that of the disparity ef'.vealth and income between King Coooty and the ether parts efWashington State outside the Puget Sound region. In 1998, more than 52 flereent of wages paid in the state ..vere in King County, in eoatrast te our 29 pereent share efthe state's populatien. Some of that difference refleots high teohjobs in Seattle and the Eastside, as \vell as high "..age manufaoturingjobs in South King Ceunty. Long range prospeots are mixed. Beeing forecasts productien of aroW'ld 250 airplanes this year ana next. Sale efthose planes will bring in billiens of dollars, much ofv.llich 'Nill be rein'/estea in the Puget Soood economy. But with the me':e efBeeing headquarters to Chioago, long term prospeots f-or aerospace are less oertain, although the company has continued to emphasize its investment in the Puget Sound region. Sales tax and other government reyenues are declining at a time v.hefl. public inyestment is needed. The area is doing remarkably \veIl so far, eMt if these underlying issues are not aedressed, there eould be lasting oonsequeRees te King Ceunty anQ the Puget SOW'lO region. Due to the markedly weaker eeonemio oonditions now in the Puget Seund region than during most of the past deeade, eeenomio oevelepment efforts in federal Way v:ill haye to become more creative, innoyative, and broader in soope. The traditienal [-€lCUS on retaining and attraeting businesses will not be enough.. New efforts, reacl.'ling into other economio seotors and using ney: and iooovative strategies, will be neoessary. General Patterns of Existing Development Previous development trends indicate that the non-residential areas of Federal Way reflect a community that has the ability to absorb higher density (more compact) uses and greater development as growth in the Central Puget Sound region continues. And even though Federal Way is a new city in a suburban area, much of its future will be tied to redevelopment and transformation. Federal Way is characterized by: . High-quality single- and multiple-family residential areas Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-3 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development . A range of housing that includes "fefJ' modest tfa6t homes, manufactured dwellings, and large luxury waterfront homes . Auto-oriented, suburban scale regional and community shopping centers and strip centers . Corporate headquarters . Two high-quality business and office parks-West Campus and East Campus . Little developed space for quality business, flex-tech, and office parks . Semi-rural.areas, wildlife areas, truck stops, areas without utilities, and much vacant open space . Recreation/amusement parks . A waterfront primarily occupied by high-quality homes, but not particularly accessible to the public . Many marginal commercial areas with redevelopment potential along Pacific Highway South (SR-99) that are vestiges of a prior era Demographics Federal Way historically has been primarily a suburban, bedroom community. It has more households than jobs and as a result, provides more workers to the region than it attracts. However, since the City's incorporation, this balance between homes and jobs has shifted. Based on US Census data, the City's residential population grew by 23 percent from 67,554 in 1990 to 83,259 in 2000, while the City's covered employment has grown by 44 percent from 21,756 in 1990 (as reported by the 2001 King County Annual Growth Report) to 31,315 in 2000 (PSRC's 2000 Covered Employment Estimates). These figures indicate that during the past decade the City has begun to shed its "bedroom community" status, with more opportunities for residents to stay within Federal Way for their employment, as well as becoming more of an employment destination for residents from beyond Federal Way. The 2000 Census information shows that Federal Way's median income levels have grown substantially since 1990, with the City leading the South King County cities in the percentage of wage-earning households, as well as median household income. The 1990 Census reported median household income at $38,311. The figure grew by 29 percent over the decade leading to the 2000 census, with a median household income reported of $49,278, which is higher than the median household incomes of any of the other major South King County cities (Renton, Kent, Burien, Auburn, Tukwila, and SeaTac), as well as Seattle. Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-4 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Moreover, it is interesting to note that the median household income of wage-earning households (which comprise 87.3 percent of all Federal Way households) was reported at $57,748. This median household income figure is also higher than that of any of the other major South King County cities, as well as higher than the South King County's average of$55,637. Similarly, Federal Way's percentage of wage-earning households (87.3 percent) is higher than any of the other major South King County cities (which range from 79.9 to 86.8 percent). As a result, and given the City's large population, Federal Way has the highest annual gross income of any of the South King County cities. However, Federal Way and the South King County cities continue to lag behind the East King County cities in terms of median household income, which range from $60,332 in Kirkland to $66,735 in Redmond. Federal Way's Regional Role Federal Way is optimally located at a mid-point in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan region at the intersection ofI-5 and SR-18, with easy access to the Port of Tacoma, Port of Seattle, and SeaTac International Airport. Federal Way's location is a prime asset as traffic congestion and concerns over personal and freight mobility within the region become paramount issues for commerce and industry, as well as commuters. Nevertheless, the economic boom of the past decade has largely been concentrated in the Eastside communities, Downtown Seattle and South Snohomish County. However, with changes in the high-tech industry, increasing traffic congestion, soaring housing prices, and increasing limits to growth in those areas, the "Southend bias" may become a thing of the past, leaving Federal Way in an even better position from a regional perspective. Economic Base Federal Way's retail base is diverse and attracts customers from outside the City limits. Its market share, however, is relatively low compared to other Southwest King County communities. Although Federal Way retailers capture a good deal ofthe City's primary and secondary market expenditures for general merchandise and food trade, a high percentage of the local populace goes elsewhere to shop for automobiles, apparel! accessories, miscellaneous retail purchase, building material, and furniture. Overall, the capture rate for retail sales as a function of the City's primary and secondary trade area total retail expenditures is relatively low, about 51 percent (Federal Way City Center Market Analysis, prepared by ECO Northwest, July 2002). PSRC's 2(}(}O Ct,J','crcd Empwymcnt Estimates reportcd that in 2000, oovercd employment (those jobs eovcred by the state's unemployment insuranoe program) within Federal Way and throughout King County oould be broken do'.vn as shown in Tabk!V 1 (page 6). As can be seen from tffis the data in Table IV-1, in WOO 2006, Federal Way's strongest employment sectors were Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate, Services and Retail, which exceed the oounty\':ide the South King County averages considerably. The City had noticeably fewer jobs than average in the Manufacturing and Wholesale, Transportation, Communications, and Utilities sectors. Based on recent events in the employment sector, these numbers may be lower today. Manufacturing iobs are strong in Kent, Auburn, Renton, and Tukwila. Transportation iobs are strong in Kent and retail iobs are strong: in Federal Way and Tukwila.

Inc September 2006 Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV.6 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Market Share Industrial and business park space available to rent in Federal Way is a minuscule share of the Southend/Green River/Seattle market area. The South King County industrial area (including industrial parks, business parks, and flex-tech hybrid business/office parks) is currently the strongest real estate market in Western Washington. The industrial areas of south Seattle, Green River Valley, and Fifeffacoma constitute one of the strongest markets for industrial, warehouse, wholesale, distributing, etc., businesses in the Western United States. The City of Federal Way is in a strategic position to capitalize on these markets by providing prime office space and room for new office development, as wen as quality housing. Retail and Lodging Development Developed and opened in 1975, the 8eaTac Mall the Commons was the primary force behind the growth of retail in Federal Way during the 1980s. After a period of some decline in recent years, 8eaTao Mall the Commons is currently a prime candidate for updating, redevelopment and/or repositioning to acquire a stronger market position. In 1995, Pavilons Centre replaced the old Federal Way Shopping Center, and in 2001 the Pavilions Center Phase II came on line, with more development at that location yet to come. In 1998, SeaTac Village was given a complete face-lift incorporating the City's commercial design guidelines. In addition, in the late 1990s, a new Walmart store moved into the City Center Frame, and there have been several renovations and remodeling of existing retail structures, including the conversion of the old Safeway building at the southwest corner of South 320th and Pacific Highway into Rite Aid and the old K-Mart into Safeway. Within the last two years, In early 2000, a 45,000 square foot Best Buy has opened in the City Center Frame and a 52,000 square foot Albertson's remodel has occurred in the Community Business zone along Pacific Highway South. Between 1995 and 2000, four hotels/motels have been constructed in and around the City Center. These include Holiday Inn, Courtyard Marriott, Extended Stay, and Comfort Inn. In addition, a Holiday Inn Express and Sunnyside Motel (Travel Lodge) have been built south of the City Center along Pacific Highway. Hawthorne Suites, a 65 unit Country Inn, has been recently constructed along Pacific Highway South in the Community Business zone south of the City Center. In 2006 and 2007, that portion of the Community Business zoned area located between South 3441h and South 356th and Pacific Highway South and I-5 experienced both new development and redevelopment of existing property. The Federal Way Marketplace. located north of South3481h Street, was developed on a vacant 33.5 acre site. Federal Way Crossin~s and Lowe's, located between South 348th and South 356th Streets. were constructed on previously developed parcels 21 acres and 17.62 acres in size, respectively. The Federal Way Marketplace is a multi-tenant complex consistin~ of 295,000 square feet of commercial uses, including a 223,000 square-foot WalMart Supercenter, banks, sit down and drive-thru restaurants, office, and storage uses. Federal Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments IV.7 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Way Crossings is a 224,500 square foot multi-tenant complex with retail, commercial, small offices, and restaurants; and Lowe's is a 169,000 square foot home improvement warehouse and garden center. ' Office Development Federal Way's East and West Campus Developments set a standard in the region as'two of the best examples of master-planned office campuses in the Pacific Northwest. The quality of development in this area is decidedly different than elsewhere in Federal Way and Southwest King County. Within the last two years tThe majority of new office devefopment has been located within Federal Way's East Campus~ which has seen the following development: Foss Office Building at 108,000 square feet; Capital One Office Building at 143,000 square feet; and Federal Way Office Building and Warehouse at 70,767 square feet. Currently. there is an additional 105.342 square feet of office (East Campus Terrace) under construction. Since incorporation, +the West Campus area has seen little new office development. Although ~:rermits ba>.<e had been issued, but not picked up for additional office development in the West Campus, due to rising vacancy rates. there have stalled additional development for the near term. However. there has been recent increased interest in office development with an additional 27.575 square feet of office under construction in 2006-2007. In the City Center no new additional office development has occurred since the last comprehensive plan update, and office buildings continue to constitute a minority of the City Center's development. Other commercial areas within the City have seen limited amounts of office development, such as tbe reoent Lloyd Enterprises building at 31667 Paoific Highway South. Business Park (Light Industrial) Development Commercial Enterprise 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. As a result, the City has adopted a new zoning designation. the Commercial Enterprise (CE) designation, which replaces the former Business Park (BP) zoning designation. The CE designation was created in order to meet changing market conditions, as indicated by City market studies and by numerous rezone requests. The CE desi~ation is intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, and retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated. high quality developments.;., Residential use is contemplated only as mixed-use residential/commercial transitional use adjacent to single family-zoned residential areas south of South 356th Street. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-8 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Residential Development One of Federal Way's strengths is the range and quality of its housing stock. The quality, quantity, and range of options for housing are major factors in business siting decisions. According to the 1990 US Census data, the median value of owner-occupied homes in Federal Way was $118,800. In contrast, the average sales price of Federal Way owner- occupied homes in 2001, as reported by the King County Office of Regional Policy and Planning, was $194,092, with single-family homes averaging $213,060 and condominiums averaging $112,135. These figures contrast with other King County cities, as outlined in Table IV-2. 2001 A SIP' Table IV-2 CO 0 . d H . Ki C veraee a es rIces 0 wner- ccupie omes III ne ounty Place All Homes Single-Family Condos Federal Way $194,092 $213,060 $112,135 Auburn $197,965 $216,549 $124,089 Renton $215,341 $248,271 $149,608 Kent $198,844 $222,580 $142,577 Des Moines $206,379 $207,302 $202,142 Seattle $318,671 $342,922 $240,619 King County $295,158 $321,700 $198,822 As one can see from the above data, homes in Federal Way are generally more affordable than in the immediately surrounding communities and are far more affordable than homes in Seattle and the Eastside communities. While single-family houses remain Federal Way's dominant housing type, the majority of housing starts since the late 1980s were multiple-family. Multiple-family units as a percentage of all housing units increased from less than 10 percent in 1970 to nearly 40 percent in 1990. During the late 1980s, there were twice as many multiple-family housing units constructed in Federal Way than single-family housing units. From 1990 to 1992, permitting of multiple-family construction stopped, and single-family construction slowed to about one-third oflate 1980 levels. It is interesting to note than in 1990 median monthly rental rate for Federal Way was $476, while the median monthly rental rate for King County communities varied between $398 and $458. That is, Federal Way's multifamily housing stock was on the higher end of cost within the region. Since then, Seattle and some Eastside locations have become particularly expensive, and Federal Way's multifamily housing stock is substantially more affordable than those locations, while averaging competitively with nearby communities, as seen in Table IV-3 (page 9). Since 1996, the vast majority of multi-family housing development has taken place in the senior/assisted living market. During that time approximately 792 senior or assisted housing units have been added in the City, in addition to 240 skilled-care beds. This is compared with approximately 135 non-senior multifamily housing units. The lack of Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-9 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development multi-family construction beyond this sub-market speaks to the recent market forces that appear to have discouraged investment in market rate multi-family development that commands lower rents than the King County average, as seen above. In order for the City to successfully encourage multi-family housing at a rate commensurate with the long range housing targets established under the GMA, City policy must address the market factors unique to this type of development activity.

April 2006 Institutional, Educational, Cultural, and Recreational Development Federal Way enjoys a variety of affordable, high-quality health care. The City boasts three outstanding health care facilities, St. Francis Hospital, Virginia Mason Clinic, and Group Health. These facilities continue to grow and expand in the services they offer the region. In the last two years Between 2000 and 2002, Virginia Mason flas developed a 30,000 square foot building addition, and St. Francis Hospital is olHTently construct~ a 62,000 square foot addition. Built in 1998, the Knutzen Family provides a venue for professional theatre and the symphony. The Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department offers a summer concert series at Steel Lake Park, which is also home to the annual Family Fest celebration. Each year, Federal Way's July 4th Red, White, and Blues festival is held at Celebration Park, where the nationally acclaimed tournament soccer and baseball facilities draw additional tourist activities. Federal Way offers a number of collegiate and vocational opportunities. Highline Community College operates a local branch campus in Federal Way. The Eton Vocation College, located in the heart of Federal Way, is a vocational college focused on job training for today's competitive market. In 2001, the DeVry Institute of Technology opened their first Northwest Campus in Federal Way. This 100,000 square foot facility provides technology training customized to increase employee workplace skills. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-10 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Summary In summary, Federal Way's role in both the Central Puget Sound area and Southwest King County has been defined by its inventory of prime office space in campus-like settings, wide variety of retail and services, and large stock of quality housing. These basic sectors are enhanced by Federal Way's regional role as a center for amateur athletics. Much of the highway oriented commercial space that was developed in the 1970s and 80s in response to rapid population growth has been starting to undergo redevelopment, and this trend will continue. The West Campus and East Campus areas serve as models for the quality of modern commercial, office, and business park space 'Federal Way will need in order to attract its share of future regional growth. Urban design and infrastructure in other areas of Federal Way must be brought up to these standards. In addition, the existence oflarge parcels ofland ownership in the 344th/356th area and 31ih/3241h area of the core corridor will give Federal Way a development advantage. Federal Way will continue to foster the development of institutional and cultural amenities designed to enhance the City's regional image as a desirable community offering a high quality environment for living and working. Federal Way's Competitive Position in Southwest King County Subregion While many of the development patterns are set in the Southwest King County subregion, Federal Way and five other cities have seen, or will see, significant change. These additional five cities are Auburn, Kent, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila. Table IV-4 (page 11) encapsulates each of these cities' current market niches, as well as their opportunities and challenges, in order to help understand how Federal Way relates to its neighbors. As can be seen in the table, much of the area surrounding Federal Way is dedicated to industrial, light manufacturing, low-scale office parks, wholesale/warehouse, distribution, etc., especially in Auburn and Kent. Much of this is not in direct competition with Federal Way. Tukwila is the major retail center for South King County and provides the region's stiffest competition for regional retailers and retail establishments, such as department and furniture stores, specialty apparel, etc. While the trade area for Tukwila's retail sector is large, Federal Way lies at the most distant point in South King County from the Tukwila/Southcenter retail center, and its trade area overlaps or competes the least with Tukwila. The City of SeaTac provides little competition in the office, industrial, and retail sectors, but has successfully captured the airport-related lodging industry, with several higher-quality establishments, including conference facilities. Renton has historically had a strong economic base tied to the Boeing Company, with both healthy manufacturing and office sectors; however, both of these sectors have seen a substantial weakening with the Boeing Company headquarters relocation, work force lay- offs, and space consolidation. Auburn and Kent have also experienced a substantial increase in vacant light-industrial building space due to Boeing Company reductions. Notwithstanding relative levels of competition from other communities in specific commercial sectors, Federal Way does experience a "competitive" relationship with several nearby municipal governments that must be taken into account. The City of Renton is a recognized leader in the county with respect to economic development, with a Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-11 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development particular focus on downtown redevelopment and economic diversification. That city has invested public funds in land assembly projects that have attracted substantial residential, mixed-use, and auto dealership developments. Following Renton's lead are the communities of Kent and Tukwila, which have also targeted key redevelopment opportunities, acquiring/assembling land and attracting desired mixed-use development. Similarly, Renton and Kent provide tax incentives for certain residential development and provide other financial incentives to desired redevelopment projects. In addition, Tukwila, Renton, and Kent have made substantial personnel and facilities investments in improving customer service and turn-around times associated with development permits. In addition to these five cities in Southwest King County, Tacoma is an important competitor to Federal Way. Tacoma is an older city that has made many efforts to improve its downtown and image for more than a quarter century. Tacoma city government has an aggressive economic development mission and is recognized regionally and nationally as a leader in the field. It has continually devoted its own funds, as well as state and federal grants, to stimulate economic development. Tacoma has a strategic location on the highway system and a strong port with much unrealized potential. In addition, both the city and suburbs have vacant and redevelopable land, as well as relatively cheap accessible land for residential development.

Summary of Achievements Although the City of Federal Way's economic development efforts are relatively new, several important accomplishments in formulating the City's economic development strategy have already been accomplished. . The City of Federal Way/Federal Way Chamber Economic Development Committee meets monthly to discuss and develop economic development strategies and maintain a close and cooperative working relationship. . The City has developed Celebration Park which, in addition to the recreational amenities for City residents, includes tournament-quality soccer and softball facilities that attract players and tournaments from throughout the Pacific Northwest, thereby contributing substantial economic activity to Federal Way through expenditures for lodging, shopping, dining, and other services. . In 2001 the City officially incorporated an Economic Development Division within the Community Development Services Department and hired a Director. . With increasing lodging tax revenues, the City of Federal Way Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has expanded its work plan to include more direct efforts to stimulate tourism and visitorship to the City. . ,The City has 00 founded and co manages the South King Coooty Technology Alliance, a working oommittee of various ffil:lnicipal entities and businesses within South King County dedioated to fostering further development of the technology sector within South King Coooty. . The City has embarked on a concerted effort, led by senior management, to improve permit processes and reduce regulatory hurdles to development. In 2001, the City worked collaboratively with the Federal Way Chamber and other stakeholders to raise the thresholds that trigger right-of-way improvements associated with redevelopment, remodeling, and reuse of existing buildings. In 2002, the City has embarked upon a permit-process improvement effort that includes a public stakeholder advisory committee and study of best practices from around the region, and is intended to place Federal Way at the forefront of regional municipalities in regulating land use and construction effectively and efficiently. . In 2006, the City adopted a Planned Action SEP A for a sub-area of the City Center, more specifically described as an area bounded on the north by South 3lih Street, on the south by South 3241h Street, on the west by Pacific Highway South, and on the east by 23rd Avenue South. The Planned Action designation Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-13 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development applies to proposed residential, retail, office, hotel, civic, and structured parking development falling within the development envelope analyzed in this EIS_ The Planned Action SEP A and increased heights for mixed-use buildings containing ITmlti-unit housing in the City Center Core and City Center Frame adopted in 2006 is expected to encourage construction of multi-unit housing in the City Center area. 4.2 THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT VISION FOR FEDERAL WAY The vision for economic development in Federal Way can be encapsulated into four basic areas: 1) to retain existing businesses and attract new businesses in order to build a diverse economic base; 2) to increase the number of jobs within the City relative to the population of City residents within the labor force; 3) to foster redevelopment of the City Center from a low-scale, suburbanized commercial area to a full-service, high-density, mixed-use, and more pedestrian-friendly urban core and community focal point; and 4) to , build upon and expand the City's recreational and cultural assets to increase visitors to the City and encourage greater visitor spending within the local economy. The strategy encourages or accelerates the trends and transformations that are already occurring in this community. The major objectives of the strategy include the following: · Provide a better balance between housing and jobs by increasing the number of jobs within the City relative to the number of households. · Diversify the economic base by encouraging higher paying white collar and technical jobs while preserving and enhancing the strong retail base. · Generate more demand for hotel room-nights through growth in office and business part space. · Foster horizontal commercial mixed-use employment sector growth in the South 348th Street area in the aeaf mid-term (2000 2005) (2005-2010). · Foster continued Corporate and Office Park employment sector growth in East and West Campus in the mid-term (2000-2010). It should be noted that East Campus has recently been experiencing a high rate of growth and may reach build out during this time period. · Emphasize private redevelopment and land assembly through the I-5/SR-99 corridor, especially in the City Center, as well as the 348th and 336th areas. · Redevelop and improve the quality of the commercial and residential mixed use development along Pacific Highway South from South 272nd Street to South ~lh ~lh 339lh Street (2000-2010). Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-14 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development · Redevelop and improve the quality of the commercial and light industrial mixed use development along Pacific Highway South from South ~ad 3391h Street to ~tk 3591h South Street (2000-2010). · Foster mid rise high-rise, mixed-use employment sector growth in the City Center Core with relatively lower heig:ht and density in the City Center Frame (2000-2020). · Encourage quality development throughout the City to attract desirable economic development in Federal Way. · Maintain and improve the quality and character of the existing residential neighborhoods. · Promote high quality, higher density residential neighborhoods in the City Center and Highway 99 corridor in close proximity to jobs and good public transportation. · Continue to work with the lodging providers to promote year-round vistorship to the City to encourage visitor spending as an important component of a growing local economy. · Work with other agencies to provide services for education and training, as well as social services and other remedial programs for the underemployed and the unemployed. Future Regional Role for Federal Way · Encourage greater diversity in the economic base by aggressive pursuit of a broader range of the components of the regional economic activity, as well as greater participation in international/Pacific Rim economic activity. · Increase its share of local resident-serving retail and services, and increase its share of regional, national, and international oriented business firms. · Increase its capture of region-serving office development. · Emphasize private redevelopment and land assembly through the I-5/SR-99 corridor, especially in the City Center, as well as the 348th and 336th areas. · Strengthen the City Center as the City's focal point for commercial and community activities. Transform the City Center into a regional commercial destination, as well as a major transit hub. · Generate more demand for hotel room-nights through growth in business flark and office space the commercial, office, and industrial sectors, as well as recreational and cultural amenities that draw visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-15 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development · Take advantage of its location with respect to the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle, as well as the SeaTac International Airport. · Public and private sectors in the Federal Way area act cooperatively and aggressively to attract firms from throughout the region, the nation, and other countries. · Actively pursue relationships with areas in other parts of the Pacific Rim region for trade, commerce, and cultural advantage. · Actively pursue cooperation and collaboration with other nearby municipalities, organizations, and firms to market Federal Way and South King County for technology-related enterprises. Retail Areas · SeaTae Mall The Commons and other regional retailers within the City redevelop/reposition to meet changing consumer demand and become more competitive with other regional retailers. · High-volume retail in Federal Way increases faster than population. · Growth in resident-serving retail occurs in the City Center, existing commercial nodes, new nodes around the I-5/South 320th and I-5/SR 18 interchanges, and in redevelopment areas along SR-99. · Neighborhood scale retail development keeps pace with population growth and to an increasing extent, is accommodated within mixed-use buildings in more concentrated neighborhood villages. · Pedestrian-oriented retail development emerges gradually in the redeveloped City Center. · Small amounts of retail use occur on the ground floor of offices, residential buildings, and parking structures. · Neighborhood scale retail development in concentrated neighborhood villages emerges in response to growth in multiple-family concentrations in the I-5/SR-99 corridor and new single-family development on the east side ofI-5. · Old, outdated strip centers along the SR-99 corridor redevelop as a mix of retail, office, and dense residential uses. · The large truck stop facility at the intersection of Enchanted Parkway and South J4.&lil Street is redeveloped into a retail or mIxed use cormnercial center.

Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-17 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development Institutional, Educational, Cultural, and Recreational Development . The City of Federal Way will continue to work closely with existing institutional entities (such as St. Francis Hospital, Federal Way School District, King County Library, etc.) as important components of a full-service local economy. . Federal Way's reputation as an important center for amateur sports competition and participation grows stronger, leading to potentially new facilities and venues, as well as increased visitorship and visitor spending in the local economy. . Federal Way's cultural assets increase in both scope and number, gaining greater patronage and attracting visitors from beyond the City limits. New cultural establishments are developed in Federal Way, such as museums, exhibitions, and performance venues. Likewise, new cultural events become established in Federal Way, such as music festivals, art shows/festivals, etc. . Stimulate quality development of region-serving institutional and technical facilities. . Existing recreational amusement facilities continue to develop as regional tourist attractions. . The City of Federal Way creates working partnerships with institutions of higher education in order to encourage and support their expansion and further integration within the Federal Way economy, as well as to identify and exploit increasing opportunities for economic development. 4.3 FORECAST OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN FEDERAL WAY The growth forecasts used in this chapter are derived from the 2000 Market Analysis and 2002 City Center Market Analysis, prepared by ECONorthwest, while other chapters are based on the PSRC regional forecasting model. In summary, probably the strongest sector in the near-term (five years) will be the retail/ services sector. About 1.5 million additional square feet of retail tenant space may be expected during the next 20 years, with commercial areas throughout the City and the City Center alike sharing in the development. One particular sector that appears under- represented is the quality restaurant sector, in which the City will likely see additional development. Demand for new office development will likely be somewhat low in the near term, as office vacancies have risen substantially and rents have correspondingly fallen, region- wide. In addition, several office buildings, particularly in the West Campus area, exhibit substantial vacancies that can readily absorb near-term demand in the City. Nevertheless, the long-term picture looks good, with continued demand for and interest in office space in Federal Way, particularly in the East and West Campus areas. City Center office Revised ~ 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-18 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development development will likely lag behind for most of the planning horizon. However, generous zoning, panoramic views, and proximity to the freeways and transit may start to make the City Center a more attractive location for mid- to high-rise office development in the 10 to 20-:year time frame. With regard to housing, only a small amount ofland remains in the single-family zoning districts to accommodate new single-family dwellings. As a consequence, the vast majority of new residential development will have to take the form of townhouses, small lot subdivisions and cottage housing, walk-up apartments, mid-rise apartments, and mixed-use buildings and/or high-rise residential buildings. As with the condition for single-family development, the majority ofthe multi-family-zoned land is also already developed, leaving primarily the commercial zones and City Center as the potential location ofa great deal of the future residential development. Nevertheless, higher land values and construction costs, and lower relative rental rates compared with other communities in the region, act as barriers to residential development within the City Center in the near term, unless public-sector actions create financial incentives, reduce development costs, or otherwise create conditions attractive to housing developers. Therefore, in the short term, most multi-family housing developments wiltcontinue to be seen in the remaining multifamily-zoned areas and in the neighborhood commercial areas or other commercial areas along Pacific Highway South. While multi-family housing is generally not permitted in the Business Park Commercial Enterprise_zones, this zone will oontinue to can accommodate senior housing some transitional residential/commercial uses adjacent to established single family-zoned residential neig:hborhoods developments, as has been seen in recent years. In the longer term, assuming no public~sector incentives, as rental rates rise and demand increases, housing developers will likely respond to the opportunities for development within the City Center, and begin to add multi-family housing there, as well. Substantial new lodging development in Federal Way is not anticipated in the near term, unless actions are taken to increase demand substantially. With business travel somewhat cut back due to increasingly burdensome airline-travel procedures since September 11, 2001, the demand for hotel rooms has dropped. Business-related travel may be slow to return to earlier levels. Sports-related lodging demand during the late Spring, Summer, and early Fall has been solid over the past few years and is expected to increase, although development of new lodging facilities will likely not follow increased demand during only a few months of the year. If sports- or event-related facilities are developed within the City that could accommodate off-season events, it is likely that more near-term demand for lodging would rise and could occasion development of new facilities within the five-year timeframe. Like all forecasts, these should be periodically monitored relative to the real estate market and economic conditions in South King County, the Central Puget Sound region, and Federal Way. In addition, the economic development policies and underlying assumptions related to local and regional decisions concerning infrastructure, transportation systems, and land use regulation should be carefully monitored. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-19 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development 4.4 IMPLEMENTATION Attributes of Successful Economic Development Programs Successful economic development programs typically have the following attributes. First, they receive material support and leadership from the mayor, City Council, and senior City staff. Second, the municipal leadership is willing to work creatively and cooperatively with private sector leaders and businesses to accomplish economic development goals. They have the ability and find the resources to target infrastructure projects and programs to encourage development or redevelopment of specific areas. To do this, they work aggressively to secure state and federal funds for local public and private assistance. Likewise, City staff is empathetic toward economic development goals and knowledgeable about working within City legal constraints, budget constraints, and community tolerances to assist businesses and the real estate development process. The staff also has the ability to react and make decisions quickly and consistently to provide assistance for private sector dealings with the public planning and regulatory processes. The staffs ability to link several programs, team up with other departments, and leverage limited funds allows them to take meaningful and effective action. In addition, the City should be creative and open to exploring and adopting innovative regulatory and incentive programs to attract and retain businesses and development projects, such as SEP A planned actions and developer agreements. Key among such programs should be any feasible efforts aimed at predictable and streamlined permitting processes. The City's Role in the Economic Life of a Community In the State of Washington, the direct actions that cities can take to encourage economic development have historically been more limited than in other states. Nevertheless, in the past few years several new and important tools have been made available to local communities to help encourage redevelopment, retain/attract jobs, and foster "smart growth." These tools include: · Community redevelopment financing (similar to tax increment financing) · Limited tax abatement for multifamily development · Community empowerment zone designation · Community renewal act (updated and expanded version of former urban renewal) · Tax deferrals and exemptions for high technology businesses and investment, as well as manufacturing investment Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-20 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development . Industrial revenue bonds Notwithstanding these state programs, there are still substantial constraints on the scope of actions a city government can do with respect to economic development activities. However, one of the most significant direct actions a city can take is to provide the necessary infrastructure. This includes: 1) developing long term facilities expansion plans; 2) designing the specific systems and projects; 3) raising or borrowing local funds to finance the projects or act as a conduit for state, federal, and intergovernmental funds; and, 4) forming public-private partnerships to jointly construct projects. Second, a city can deliver high quality and cost effective urban services. These necessary services include police and fire protection; parks, recreation, and cultural services; social services and job training; and a well-run land use planning and regulatory process. In addition, a city can actively participate in public/private groups designed to help businesses and the development community as they work their way through the state and federal regulatory processes. Third, a city can directly impact economic development by doing market research or by being a landowner and developer. For example, a city could develop, maintain, and disseminate data and analysis on local development conditions and trends, as well as monitor important trends and assumptions upon which plans, programs, and strategies are based. In addition, a city can buy land, aggregate parcels, and make necessary improvement so that it is ready for new development or redevelopment. For some projects, a city can issue industrial revenue bonds or other tax-free municipal bonds. This also allows a city to joint venture with a private sector partners for appropriate development. In terms of indirect roles, a city can act as a facilitator to convene public and private entities to work on issues of local importance and reach consensus. Preparation of a comprehensive plan is an example of this important indirect action. A city can act as a representative oflocal resident's and business's interests in resolving regional and countywide problems such as traffic congestion, housing, and human service issues. A city can also mobilize local community support for important projects and problem solving; and work to impr~ve the overall image of the community and in doing so, make the community more attractive for economic development. Lastly, a city's public investment in municipal facilities, such as city administrative offices, judicial/court facilities, community centers, and cultural and recreational venues can be a factor in inducing further economic development. By targeting a subarea for an infusion of redevelopment investment and daytime population, nearby businesses not only may see a greater captive market, but may also be encourag~d to remodel, renovate, and/or improve their establishments. Cultural and recreational facilities can have a wide range of economic impact, from simply attracting residents to a particular part of the city (e.g., city center) more frequently where they may patronize other businesses, to attracting visitors from around the region and country who will bring new revenue to the local economy through lodging, restaurant, and goods/services expenditures. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-21 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development General Approaches to an Economic Development Strategy There are basically four local economic development strategies that impact the level of private business growth in a community. . First, studies of employment growth experience in local communities in the United States show that the large majority of new jobs are generated by expansion and retention of businesses that are already located in the community. A city's role in this strategy is to help businesses resolve problems so that they can expand locally rather than move to another community. Problem resolution includes helping a business find a larger more suitable site, work through a land use or zoning regulation problem, or access necessary infrastructure. This strategy typically has low to moderate cost implications and a high probability of success. . Second, the relocation of fIrms from other parts of the country or new plant locations are rare and do not account for a significant share of local employment growth relative to overall employment growth in the United States. However, when new firms do relocate to the community, the boost in the local economy can be great and the "press" can attract the attention of other firms. Local governments can attract new business to their community through aggressive marketing strategies (websites, brochures, etc.), close collaboration with regional economic development councils and chambers of commerce, and through financial incentives. This strategy has high risk for the number of successes and has a high cost. . Third, new businesses that are the result of new business start~ups, spin-offs from existing local firms, and new business ideas and technologies are another effective way that communities increase employment and businesses within a local area. Local government encourages new business formation usually through indirect methods. These strategies can have moderate-to-high costs depending on the specific actions and low-to-moderate degree of success. · Fourth, tourism and visitorship can be very important components of a local economy. A city with recreational or cultural assets that draw visitors can build upon these assets to increase the numbers of visitors, the length of their stays, and the amount of money they spend in the local economy_ Local government can work to market the community and its assets beyond the immediate region to bring in new economic activity and can invest in recreational or cultural infrastructure to attract more events and/or visitors. Human Resource Programs In addition to the economic development strategies discussed in the previous section, human resource development programs are another general way whereby cities can support economic development. These programs are often not included as parts of an economic development program because they focus on assisting people-the human resource for businesses. However, improving and remediating human resources is an Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments IV-22 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development important long run approach. The previous four general approaches to economic development strategies try to raise revenues, reduce costs, or reduce risks for business location, facility investment decisions, and operating decisions of businesses. Human resource programs make a community attractive to new and existing businesses by improving the local labor force. Components of a human resources program may include: 1) providing temporary support for underemployed workers, unemployed workers, and their families; 2) providing job training and retraining to improve an individual's ability to enter or remain in the work force; 3) creating referral and other programs that allow labor resources to become more mobile and to respond to information about job openings; and, 4) by providing social servic'e programs that meet the needs of community residents who are temporarily not able to participate in the economy. In many instances a City's human resources program addresses some, ifnot all, of these human resource development objectives. Economic Development Strategy For Federal Way As with many cities, Federal Way will have limited funds with which to pursue its economic development goals. The City will have to use its resources in a focused and prioritized manner to have a positive impact on the local economic base.

Revised 2003 2007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-24 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development EDG4 The City will channel further residential growth into existing multi-family and commercial-zoned areas, with a particular goal of encouraging residential development in the City Center. EDG5 The City will encourage and support the development of recreational and cultural facilities and/or events that will bring additional visitors to Federal Way, and/or increase visitor spending. EDG6 The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain and/or expand their facilities within Federal Way. Economic Development Policies EDPl Redevelopment of the City Center will continue to receive special attention in the FWCP. EDP2 The City will explore the feasibility and utility of a flrocess to master plan the City Center, jointly funded by publio afld private entities, to enCOl:H'age appropriate redevelopment. EDP~~ The City will continue to seek high-quality urban design and infrastructure standards for these areas. . EDP4~ The City will prepare a utilize the SEP A Planned Action for the City Center so that compliant development proposals may receive permit approvals with a minimum of environmental review. EDP~ The City will complete designs for public infrastructure to be jointly funded by the City and private landowners. EDP6~ The City will work actively to formulate ways for joint public/private funding of infrastructure. EDP+Q The City will develop zoning, permitting, and potential financial incentives that encourage prioritized development consistent with comprehensive and subarea plans and orderly, phased growth. EDP81 In order to encourage efficient and desired development and redevelopment of existing land designated and zoned for various types of commercial uses, when considering proposals for comprehensive plan amendments and rezones to commercial designations and from one commercial designation to another, the City will consider development trends in commercially zoned areas, market demand for various types of commercial land, and amount of vacant commercial land. EDP9~ The City will utilize innovative planning techniques such as Planned Unit Developments, and developer agreements to aid in efficient and predicable permitting for large developments. Revised 2003 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-25 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development EDP-M2 The City will explore innovative financing techniques such as Local Improvement Districts, Industrial Revenue Bonds, and other innovative financing tools to encourage desired redevelopment. EDPHIO The City will work with the private sector to actively encourage the retention and expansion of existing businesses, as well as bring in new development, businesses, and jobs to the community. EDPYll The City will promote the community by working with the Federal Way Chamber and the private sector to develop marketing tools that attract new businesses, visitors, and investments. EDPY12 The City will continue to develop and manage an economic development web page that promotes business and development within the community, provides an interactive database of information of value to businesses and developers, and involves the participation of the Federal Way Chamber and other stakeholder groups. EDPl413 The City will fund its portion of the public/private groups to allow them to do an effective job in marketing the community.

EDP~19 The City will actively work with representative groups of business and property owners, including the Federal Way Chamber and other local business associations, to enhance citywide and subarea improvements and planning. EDPM20 The City, in conjunction with the local business community, will actively pursue ties to Pacific Rim nations and businesses to stimulate related business activity. ' EDP~21 The City recognizes the importance of cultural and recreational activity to its economy and through the Arts Commission and Parks Department will pursue joint ventures with private groups and individuals in developing cultural and recreational opportunities. Revised 2003 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendments IV-26 FWCP - Chapter Four, Economic Development EDP~22 The City will encourage the expansion of existing and development of new multi-purpose facilities to host cultural and recreational activities in order to increase the number of visitors to Federal Way and resultant visitor spending. EDP1423 The City will continue to market the community for, and encourage development of, businesses in the high-tech sector. This effort will include exploration of regulatory ,and/or financial incentives to attract high-tech businesses and collaboration with regional communities, businesses, and local institutions of higher education to promote Federal Way and South King County. EDP~24 The City of Federal Way will strive to create working partnerships with institutions of higher education in order to encourage and support their expansion and further integration within the Federal Way economy, as well as to identify and exploit increasing 9Pportunities for economic development. EDPU25 The City will consider opportunities to partner with local human-service organizations to assist in providing human resources development programs for unemployed or under-employed workers. The foregoing policies will assist the City of Federal Way to pursue an accelerated transformation toward the community's vision of its future. Table IV-6 (page 27) describes the four major employment, economic activity areas of the City that will receive the bulk of future commercial and industrial development. The table summarizes the characteristics, location, and planning process required as well as the major transformation required. The major public and private actions required for each area are listed. The Land Use and City Center chapters of the FWCP describe these four areas in more detail. Table IV-6 describes the current ownership pattern and major activities where the City will act affirmatively to transform these areas so that an increased share of regional growth will be attracted to the City. In the areas of multiple ownership, control and implementation of the community's vision will require more explicit effort and resources from the City government. Both West and East Campus have, or will develop, their own high standards for quality of the new development. The type of development expected to occur in each of the four major economic sectors important to Federal Way's vision is related in Table IV-7 (page 28). Also related in the table are who the main competitors will be for each of these four areas. The land use policies and regulations for each area should accommodate and encourage these activities. These policies and regulations are discussed in the Land Use, City Center; and Transportation chapters of the FWCP.

Unfortunately, it will also generate a corresponding demand for new public services and facilities, such as schools, parks, and streets. These new facilities, and the financial implications they will have for Federal Way and its citizens, are the subject of this chapter. The Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) refers to capital facilities planning in two of the 13 statewide planning goals. The two relevant goals are: 1_ Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. 2. Public facilities and services_ Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. More specifically, the GMA mandates that the City prepare a capital facilities plan which contains the following components: . An inventory of existing facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the facilities. . A forecast of the future needs for such facilities. . The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new facilities. . At least a six-year financing plan that will finance such facilities and clearly identify sources of public money for such purposes. . A requirement to reassess the Land Use chapter if probable funding falls short. In the pages that follow, this chapter complies with the GMA requirements for a capital facilities plan, ' FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities level of Service To prepare a Capital Facilities chapter, one of the first decisions a jurisdiction must make involves establishing a level of service (LOS) standard. The level of service standard refers to the amount and quality of services and facilities that a community wants. For example, the LOS for a parks system is usually described in terms of the number of acres of parkland per 1,000 population, If a community has a strong desire for a good parks system, it will establish a high LOS standard for itself, maybe something on the order of 20 acres of park per 1,000 residents. On the other hand, 20 acres of developed parkland is expensive to acquire, develop, operate, and maintain. As a result, the community may be forced, for financial reasons, to accept a lower LOS standard. In any event, adopting LOS standards for all the services and facilities the City provides would help it: I) evaluate how well it is serving existing residents, and 2) determine how many new facilities will have to be constructed to service new growth and development. Concurrency In addition to mandating that a Capital Facilities chapter be included in comprehensive plans, the GMA also introduced the concept of concurrency. In general terms, concurrence describes the situation where adequate and necessary public services and facilities are available "concurrent" with the impacts of new development, or within a specified time thereafter.' Concurrency has two levels of applicability. The first is at the planning level and refers to all services and facilities, over the long term, and at the citywide scale. Planning level concurrency is what this chapter is all about. It inventories all existing facilities and services, establishes a LOS standard for each, estimates new facility requirements to accommodate projected growth, and develops a financing plan that identifies the revenues necessary to pay for all the new facilities. If the necessary revenues are not available, then the jurisdiction fails the planning level concurrency test and must take appropriate action. Those actions include lowering the LOS standard, raising taxes, restricting growth, or a combination of these actions. This chapter satisfies the planning level concurrency requirement as outlined in the GMA. The second level of concurrency analysis is project specific and only required for transportation facilities. Specifically, the GMA (RCW 36.70A. 070[6]) states: "...local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a transportation facility to decline below the standards adopted in the transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the development." That same section goes on say that "concurrent with the development" shall mean that improvements or strategies are in place at the time of development, or that a financial Revised 200:! 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 1)1-2 FWCP - Chapler Six, Capital Facilities commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years. To satisfy the project level concurrency requirement, the last section of chapter three, Transportation, contains a concurrency management discussion. As mentioned previously, project level concurrency is only required for transportation system facilities. However, the Washington State Office of Community Development's interpretation (WAC 365-195-070(3]) states that, "...concurrence should be sought with respect to public facilities in addition to transportation facilities. The list of such additional facilities should be locally defined." This section goes on to say that local jurisdictions may fashion their own regulatory responses. [n 200 I, the City hired a consultant to prepare a Traffic Impaot Fee and Concurrenoy Management System_ The study is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2003. The City adopted a Transportation Concurrency Management System, which became effective January 1, 2007. Impact Fees Local jurisdictions planning under the GMA are authorized to assess impact fees for development activity as part of financing for public facilities, such as parks, transportation, and schools. Impact fees must be based on an adopted capital facilities plan, In addition, the collected fees must be used for projects that are reasonably related to and will reasonably benefit the development paying the fees. The fees must also be used within a specified time from the date they were collected or returned to the payee. Impact fees may be imposed for system improvement costs previously incurred to the extent that new growth and development will be served by the previously constructed improvements, provided they not be imposed to make up for any system improvement deficiencies. To impose an impact fee program, the City must have a plan in place to make up any existing system deficiencies. Countywide Planning Policies The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) originally adopted in 1992, and amended in 1994, contain a number of goals and policies regarding capital facilities and the provision of urban services. Those relevant CWPPs are the following: COl Jurisdictions shall identify the full range of urban services and how they plan to provide them_ C02 Jurisdictions and other urban service providers shall provide services and manage natural resources efficiently, through regional coordination, conjunctive use of resources, and sharing offacilities. Interjurisdictional planning efforts shall evaluate approaches to share and conserve resources_ C03 Service provision shall be coordinated to ensure the protection and preservation of resources in both Rural Areas and in areas that are Revised ~ 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.) FWCP - Chapter SIX, Capital Facilities developing, while addressing service needs within areas currently identified for growth. C04 All jurisdictions acknowledge the need to develop a regional surface water management system which crosses jurisdictional boundaries and identifies and prioritizes program elements and capital improvements necessary to accommodate growth and protect the natural and built environment. The GMPC shall develop and recommend a financing and implementation strategy to meet this need. COS Water supply shall be regionally coordinated to provide a reliable economic source of water and to provide mutual aid to and between all agencies and purveyors_ The region should work toward a mechanism to address long-term regional water demand needs of agencies and water purveyors_ C07 Water reuse and reclamation shall be encouraged, especially for large commercial and residential developments and for high water users such as parks, schools, golf courses, and locks. COlO ill the Urban Area identified for growth within the next ten years, urban water and sewer systems are preferred for new construction on existing lots and shall be required for new subdivisions. However, existing septic systems, private wells, and/or small water systems may continue to serve the developments so long as densities and physical conditions are appropriate, the systems are allowed by the relevant jurisdictions, and management keeps the systems operating properly and safely. C013 Urban sewer system extensions in unincorporated King County shall be permitted consistent with the provisions of the King County Sewerage General Plan, Countywide Policies, and the policies of the jurisdiction in whose potential annexation area the extension is proposed. FW13 Cities are the appropriate provider of local urban services to Urban Areas, either directly or by contract. Counties are the appropriate provider of most countywide services. Urban services shall not be extended through the use of special purpose districts without approval of the city in whose potential annexation area the extension is proposed, Within the Urban Area, as time and conditions warrant, cities should assume local urban services provided by special purpose districts. FW32 Public capital facilities of a Countywide or Statewide nature shall be sited to support the Countywide land use pattern, support economic activities, mitigate environmental impacts, provide amenities or incentives, and minimize public costs. Amenities or incentives shall be provided to neighborhoods/jurisdictions in which facilities are sited. Facilities must be prioritized, coordinated, planned, and sited through an interjurisdictional process established by the GMPC, or its successor. VI.4 Revised :!OO:! 2007 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities LU29 All jurisdictions shall develop growth-phasing plans consistent with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an Urban Area served with adequate public facilities and services to meet at least the six-year intemlediate household and employment target ranges consistent with LU67 and LU68. These growth phasing plans shall be based on locally adopted definitions, service levels, and financing commitments, consistent with State GMA requirements. The phasing plans for cities shall not extend beyond their potential annexation areas. Interlocal agreements shall be developed that specify the applicable minimum zoning, development standards, impact mitigation, and future annexation for the potential annexation areas. LU30 Where urban services cannot be provided within the next 10 years, jurisdictions should develop policies and regulations to: . Phase and limit development such that planning, siting, density and infrastructure decisions will support future urban development when urban services become available_ . Establish a process for converting land to urban densities and uses once services are available. Funding/Financing Typically, cities and the residents they service would like to have higher LOS standards than they can afford. Federal Way has worked hard to provide the highest LOS possible without raising taxes. It is a difficult balance to maintain and the City is currently at a point where it may have to consider raising additional revenues to pay for capital facilities and the associated maintenance and operations costs. If the City decides to generate additional revenues, there are several sources available. Some of these revenues are "on-going" in the sense that the City levies the tax and the revenues are added to the City's general fund on an annual basis, On-going revenues include property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, impact fees, and business and occupation taxes, The other category of funds is called "one time" funds because the City cannot count on having these funds available on an annual basis, These funds include bond sales and grants such as, TEA-21, lAC, and Urban Arterial Fund money. On-going funds can be used for either capital facilities or maintenance and operations. However, it is prudent financial management and adopted City policy that one-time funds be used only for capital improvements. As is discussed later in this chapter, the City proposed two bond issues to finance capital facilities in the Fall of 1995. As part of that bond issue, voters were asked to approve a permanent utility tax to pay for the maintenance and operations costs associated with the new capital facilities. Revised 200:1. 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.S FWCP - Chapter SIX, Capital FaCilities 6.1 SURFACE WATER Inventory of Existing Facilities Natural Systems The Federal Way area consists of two major drainage basins, the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound, The Hylebos Creek Basin consists of the West Branch Hylebos Creek, East Branch Hylebos Creek, and the Lower Hylebos Creek Sub-Basins. The Lower Puget Sound Basin consists of the North Lower, Central Lower, and South Lower Puget Sound Sub-Basins. Map VI-l (maps are located at the end of the chapter) shows the planning area boundary, and boundaries. Map VI-2 shows the major features of the natural system, The natural systems have been reviewed on a sub-basin level. This sub- basin information is contained in the City's Comprehensive Surface Water Facility Plan, Man-Made System As part of its 1994 Surface Water Facilities Plan, the City completed an inventory of the stormwater drainage trunk system. There are ten major trunk lines in the system, and one can find more details about their capacity and location in the Surface Water Plan. rhe City has made a significant number of improvements to the manmade system since incorporation in 1990. Most of the projects completed to date corrected existing localized flooding problems. As a result of resolving these "spot" problems, the City and its surface water utility have significantly improved the LOS on a system-wide basis. The City has gone to a regional system for detention/retention of surface water. Several regional detention/retention facilities have been, or will be, constructed to handle stormwater runoff. However, individual developments must treat stormwater on site prior to releasing it to the regional system. System Capacity As part of the Surface Water Facilities Plan, the City developed a model of its surface water facilities, including the natural part of the system, the various lakes, streams, and wetlands. This model uses the following design or LOS standards: .' 25-year storm conveyance capacity on lateral systems; · 25-year storm conveyance capacity on major trunk systems; · 25-year storm storage capacity in local retention/ detention facilities; and · I OO-year storm storage capability in regional retention/detention facilities, Based on these LOS standards and the data on existing facilities, the model helps utility engineers identify deficiencies in the existing system and the most cost effective way to , resolve them. The model also allows engineers to describe the new facilities that will be needed in the future to accommodate new growth and development as outlined in the Land Use chapter. Revised ~ 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.6 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capilal Facilities Forecast of Future Needs Based on model results, utility engineers annually update a detailed 10 six-year capital facilities plan. The plan identifies projects, prioritizes them, estimates the cost, and re- examines the utility rate stnicture to ensure that there is sufficient funding available over the next .w six years to construct these projects (Table VI- J, at the end of the ohapter next ~), Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities Table VI-I includes the surface water facilities project list. For more complete discussion of this list, and maps describing project locations, please refer to Chapter IV of the City's Comprehensive Surface Water Plan, As noted earlier, these projects address existing system deficiencies as well as the new facilities that will be needed to accommodate projected growth. Finance Plan The City has created a surface water utility to manage stormwater drainage, prevent flooding, and improve water quality. The City charges property owners an annual surface water fee, which is based upon the amount of impervious surface on the property, These fees, along with any outside grant monies and low interest loans, provide the revenues that pay for capital facilities projects, and operation and maintenance of its surface water system. As outlined in Table VI-I, projects are scheduled based on anticipated revenues. The capital facilities spreadsheet indicates project scheduling based on available funding and priority ranking. The City annually updates the capital facilities plan for surface water. The Comprehensive Surface Water Plan, which includes the capital facilities plan, is adopted by reference in this plan, including changes made during the City's annual update. 6.2 TRANSPORT A liON The GMA requires that local jurisdictions prepare a transportation chapter as part of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), The GMA also authorizes jurisdictions to assess impact fees for transportation system improvements that are necessary to accommodate the traffic created by the new development. In order to assess impact fees, the capital facilities plan must include the list of transportation improvements and associated costs that necessitate the impact fees.

The City updated the Plan in 1995~ aflEl 2000~ and 2006. This plan, which is now called the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Cultural Services Plan, is incorporated by reference. The planning area of the 1991 and 1995 Paries, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan included both the Federal Way City limits and the Potential Annexation Area (PA..^..). The boundaries ohanged in the 2000 and 2006 Parks Plan~ aflEl are based only on the City limits of Federal Way~ although the Potential Annexation Area (P AA) is inventoried and discussed. As in previous plans, the Parks Plan has been subdivided into subareas, referred to as Park~ Plan Planning Areas (Map VI-3), for purposes of long-range planning. The 200;!Q Parks Plan updates the inventory to include new parks and properties added to the City's system. In addition to City-owned parks and open space, the Parks Plan also lists school district, state, and county facilities, as well as private recreation facilities. Map VI-4 depicts the location of major parks and open space within the Federal Way planning area. Table VI-2 summarizes this inventory as of January 2002 June 2006.

Since that time, the City has purchased additional property and developed new facilities. These include the Lake KiIlamey Open Space Park, Heritage Woods Neighborhood Park, Wedge wood Neighborhood Park, BPA Trail I, II, and m, purohase of the Armstrong property, Madrona Park, Cedar Grove Park, bake Klahanee Lake Community Senior Center, Dumas Bay Centre, Celebration Park, aM Steel Lake Annex facilities, and the Community Center, which opened March 2007. In 2004, Washington State Parks transferred West Hylebos Wetlands Park to the City. King County has also transferred several properties to the City in the last six years. These parks and facilities are described in greater detail in the Parks Plan, As of200~Q, the City is providing 10.--!-9 acres of parks land per 1,000 population. The City's goal is to achieye maintain a level ofservice of 10.9 as Federal Way grows in population and size. The reason for the decrease in le':el of service is primarily due to the aotual inorease in_Federal Way's population as shown in the 2000 Census compared to the yearly population estimates by the State Office of Financial Management (OFM). The 2000 Census showed the Federal Way population to be 83,259, whereas the 2000 OFM population estimate for Federal Way was 77,010, a difference of 6,219. The City's current 2002 population is 83,850, and current inventory of parldand is 846 acres. In order to meet the goal of 10.9 aores per 1,000 population, the City needs to add 68 aores of parkland to the existing inventory, I'.s sho'Nn on Table 'II 3, the Parks Six Year Capital Improvements Plan 2002 2007 (CIP) has parks acquisition as an on going project category. On going aoquisition is neoessary to meet the level of service goal of 10.9 acres per 1,000 population. In the past, the City has obtained land through plat dedication. The City is also now considering a Park Impact Fee to provide funds for parks acquisition and development. In addition to acquiring and developing new facilities, the City has taken administrative actions to take advantage of other available public recreational facilities. The City enacted interlocal agreements with the School District to jointly operate and maintain school recreational facilities. As a result, the City jointly operates and maintains a major community park in conjunction with Saghalie Middle Junior High School. Also, the City has agreements to provide recreational programs and schedule play fields at several elementary schools, in addition to junior high middle schools. These facilities are now formally available nights and weekends, year around for use by local residents, Revised 200;12007 2006 Comprehensive ptan Amendment VI-10 FWCP - Chapler Six. Capital Facilities As referenced above, City residents now have access to 10.+2 acres of parks and open space per 1,000 population. This inventory includes City owned parks and open space within the City limits. The City currently provides 846 1066 acres of parkland, which the City maintains and operates. Of the total 846 1066 acres, 49B 522.5 acres is developed for recreational use areas and ~ 543.5 acres is still undeveloped. Note: Washington State Parks has a regional park facility within the City limits, which residents often use. Dash Point State Park is 230 acres of state land, which provides a regional (statewide) recreation use for camping, swimming, picnicking, walking trails, and beach front. The state park land is not included in the City's LOS simply because the state owns, operates, and maintains this facility. For the purposes of parks planning, the recommended LOS standard in the City's Parks Plan and this Capital Facilitjes chapter is 10.9 acres of City owned parkland per 1,000 population. Forecast of Future Needs The 200GQ Parks Plan states that when future annexations occur, the inventory of public park and open space land will be adequate to serve both the current and future proiected population within the City and PAA. However, much of this acreage is un-programmed, undeveloped open space. The primary deficiency, both now and proiected, is in improved trails. The updated Parks Plan makes recommendations based on five Core Values identified through an extensive planning process. Four of these relate to capital facilities and include: Core Value #1: Improve Existin~ Facilities and Provide Multiple Functions in Parks Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking Community Through an Integrated Trail and Sidewalk Network Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Place and Destinations Capital facilities that respond to these Core Values have been incorporated into the Six- Year CIP. Some of the major efforts planned for this six year period include: · Design and redevelopment of Lakota and Sacajawea Parks · Acquisition of Camp Kilworth and associated site improvements to allow public access · Introduction of community ~athering spaces in neighborhood parks · Site and building assessments for, Dumas Bay Centre · Trail and Pedestrian improvements · Upgrade Saghalie Park soccer field to artificial turf maintain the City's current level of service until the year 2010, In addition, the City completed a cultural arts survey in 1994. The survey evaluated several alternatives for a Revised 2002 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-l1 FWCP - Chapler SIX, Capital Facilities performing arts center and concluded that at some time in the near future, the City would need such a facility with a capacity of about 1,000 seats, The City has converted a portion of Dumas Bay Centre into the Knutzen Family Theatre, a 250-seat civic theater facility. This facility will begin to fulfill the identified community need for a performing arts center. Locations & Capacities of Future Facilities Map VI-4 indicates the location of the parks, recreation facilities, and open space subareas the City will need to maintain the adopted LOS. The Parks Plan breaks the planning area into subareas and addresses future facilities at the subarea level. For more details about the type, size, and cost of these new facilities, please refer to the 20WQ Parks Plan. Mao VI-4A shows potential locations of public spaces in the City Center: Finance Plan Table VI-3 (Parks Six- Year Capital Improvements Plan, 200lQ-20().111, page 11) describes the proposed parks projects that will be needed between now and the year 2012, together with cost estimates programmed by year. Table VI-3 also identifies the revenues that will be available during the same time period to finance these new facilities. Please refer Section VII (Capital Improvement Plan) to Chapter 7, "Implementation," of the 200lQ City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan for detailed information on the finance plan. The City annually biennially updates its Parks & Recreation e~apital iJmprovements Plan program. These updates reflect new project priorities, eliminate projects that have been completed, and add new projects to the program.

In addition to the investments in the surface water, transportation, and parks areas, the City also acquired and improved a basic set of community facilities to house City operations and provide space for community gatherings and recreation. The City acquired the current City Hall, Klahanee Lake Community/Senior Center (KLCc), and Dumas Bay Centref (a conference and retreat facility) in 1993. Strong local support in community recreation and arts activities translated into the City Council's adoption of a 2% For the Arts ordinance to provide funding for arts in public places in 1994, and the construction of the 254-seat Knutzen Family Theatre in 1998. The new City Hall. which consolidates most City administrative offices, Public Safety. and the Municipal Court in one facility, was acquired in 2003, Also in 2003, King County divested itself of community swimming pools constructed with 1970 era Forward Thrust funds. The City assumed the operations of Kenneth Jones Pool (KJP) as a result. Revised 200:12007. 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment VI.14 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities The City began construction of a new 72,000 square foot Community Center in fall 2005. Construction was completed in early 2007, The facility houses Recreation and Cultural Services staff, and includes athletic and community facilities suitable for a wide variety of events and programs, The facility will replace the KLCC and KJP operations. KLCC was surplused and sold in 2005 and leased back until the new center opened, The KJP facility will be returned to the Federal Way School District, who owns the underlying property , Since 1995, the City brought a number of oontracted services in house to meet public demand for more responsive and responsible government servioes. Among these services Vlere the formation of the Federal Way Police Department (996), street maintenance operations (1998), and the municipal oourt (2000). These changes brought different levels of demand on public facilities and the need for a comprehensive oommunity facilities plan. Inventory of Existing Facilities As of January 200Gl, the City owns or occupies a number of facilities, as shown in Table VI-4 and Map VI-5, Projected Community Needs The City has identified a number of facilities to help deliver services more efficiently and adjust to the changing demographics of this community in the future. These projected needs are beyond the City's ability to fund within the six-year planning horizon. However, in order to keep the community's vision alive, we purposely did not exclude any of these community projects. The City Council will periodically review and prioritize these projects and provide funding when available. A description of these facilities with a summary list is provided in Table VI-5 (page 13).

Police, and Court Operations) The Federal \Vay Police Department was formed Gnd began full service on November 16, 1996. The department grew from 110 full time equivalent (FTE) employees in 1996 to 150 FTE employees and over 90 volunteers in 2002. The department oocupies 23,000 square feet of leased spaoe in three separate buildings in an office/warehouse complex near City Hall. The current spatial requirement for the department is believed to be approximately 26,000 square feet. The Municipal Court began operations on January 1,2000. The department has 13 FTE employees operating two courtrooms. Currently, the department ocoupies 6,700 square feet of modified office space adjaoent to the police facility. The court caseload in 2002 indicated that a third courtroom, larger lobby, and small meeting rooms are needed. The current spatial requirement is estimated to be around 9,000 square feet. Additional space "viII also be needed for general government operations to accommodate the increased services and o'lerall growth of the City. A preliminary program level assessment indicates that the current City Hall 'Nill need around 35,000 square feet, versus the 27,000 square feet available, The City has $7.5 million set aside for the police and court facility. Currently, $1.5 million in general obliga,tion bonds are financed by a 0.5 percent utility tax, interest earnings from bond proceeds, and additional contributions from general fund savings, Both police and court leases '.viII expire in June 2001 '.vithout an extension. The City Council has appointed a oitizen committee to review the current and projected spatial needs and development/finanoing options, Based on a preliminary analysis, it appears that the additional cost can be finanoed by eKtending the 0.5 percent utility tax after the initial $1.5 million bonds are paid off. At unicipal po acility Need Assessments 10,000 15,000 square feet additional space in the near term, and 80,000 to 85,000 square feet by 2020, in addition to the existing City Hall Four to five acre site Preliminary development cost for a facility to accommodate the City's long term needs is projeoted to be approximately $20 million to $30 million The City acquired the current City Hall in 2003 and consolidated its police, court, and general governmental operations under one roof. About 10 percent or 8,000 of the total 88,500 square feet of space in this building is currently available for future expansions. In addition to the City Hall parcel, the City also acquired two vacant lots to the north which is the location of the Police Evidence facility and overflow parking for the City Hall/ Municipal Court. The City Council is considering presenting the annexation ballot measure to our Potential Annexation Area voters in the fall of 2007. If approved. it would add an estimated 20,152 people and approximately 7.6 square miles to the City's service area. This is an increase Revised 2002 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-17 FWCP - Chapter SIX, Capital Facilities of 23 percent in population and 36 percent in land area, These increases would again place pressure on the current City Hall capacity and would require the expansion of the existing maintenance facility, as discussed below, Maintenance Facility The Parks and Public Works maintenance facility is located at 31132 281h A venue South: The original site is approximately 1. 7 aores, with 1110 square feet of office and indoor maintenance bay entire site is approximately 1.4 acres, with 1,060 square feet of office space and a 61,000 square foot fenced storage yard. The site ..vas formerly a fire station and was transferred to the City after incorporation. Today, the old fire station office and meeting room areas house the operations and the fire truck maintenanoe bay, The yard provides materials, supplies, ':ehicles, and equipment storage for departmental operations. The City acquired two adiacent parcels, for a total of 2.25 acres, to the north of the facility in 2003. Today, the maintenance facility contains around 3,500 square feet of office space and 90,000 in fenced storage space, with an additional 1.5 acres of land area available for future expansions. Parks Maintenance operates seven days a week, two shifts per day. The space needed for the maintenance operations includes a front counter/reception area, crew quarters (including an area for daily time cards, breaks, and crew meetings/training, etc.), as well as a locker room. Public Works streets and surface water maintenance operations have similar needs for office space; operating Monday through Friday, year round, one shift per day. Both Parks and Public Works maintenance operations tend to intensify during the summer months and require up to 15 part-time, seasonal workers at any given time. The 61,000 square feet of storage yard space is needed to acoommodate 25 vehicles and 15 various types of mobile equipment. The limited space provides only minimum storage space and restricts the turning radius of the large equipment and vehioles used for these operations. To meet this challenge, the City leases off site indoor and outdoor storage space for equipment, emergency supplies, and materials for snow and ioe operations. Although there exist~ drawbacks and constraints, the site is adequate for existing purposes when supplemented with leased storage spaces. Future expansion is possible \vith the acquisition of adjacent properties to the north. HO\vever, this facility is located in a residential neighborhood and the compatibility of a larger maintenance facility should be e':aluated before making any additional long term investments on the site. A larger facility \.vould improve operation efficiencies by increasing storage capacity for vehicles, equipment, and materials. 1\ maintenance yard space of approximately 90,000 square feet is recommended. The potential annexation would require an anticipated eight regular FTE and eight FTE in seasonal help, plus proportional vehicle and equipment increases. This increase would require the City to expand the maintenance office area by 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, and maintenance yard by 30,000 to 45,000 square feet. Revised ~ 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-1S FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital F acihhes The current site would accommodate the proiected space needs. Should the City proceed with the South 3l2th Avenue extension and 1-5 Access Ramp Addition Proiect, it is anticipated that the site would be significantly affected by the right-of-way needs and may not be sufficient to meet the above needs, Maintenance Facility Recommendation . ~ 6,500 square feet for office space, accompanied by a 9{M)OO 120,000 square foot storage yard . Three to five acre site (the existing site is approximately four acres, which is deemed sufficient) . Development cost is estimated at $2ll million Community Center Based on current trends in community center construction and increased participation in the City's recreational programs, a larger, multi purpose faoility '....ould better meet the needs of the community. ,^. number of community centers that have been built throughout the region recently have a variety of uses and spatial arrangements. These facilities attract a large customer base, projeoting community pride and quality of life images that distinguish them from the surrounding communities. Some of the more notable examples are the centers at Norpointe, Kent, Tubvila, and Renton. While Klahanee Lake Community/Senior Center serves existing oommunity and senior services needs, the limited parking and the size of the facility continue to restrain the nature and type of uses possible. ^ larger community center similar to those listed above would cost apprOJ(imately $10.1 million; ineluding land aoquisition, site ,"vode, parking lot, design and engineering, permit, utility conneotion, construotion, building furnishings, and equipment. Community Ccnt-e.~ Fflcility Recommelldauon 15,000 square foot facility Three to five acre site . Development oost assumption of $10.1 million Senior Center The general population continues to age as the "baby boomer" generation moves toward the senior citizen category. Population projections indicate that the senior (55+) age group ,....ill be the fastest gro....:ing segment of our citizenry for the foreseeable future, Keeping this in mind, the City recognizes the need to increase its foous on providing facilities and services geared to the needs and interests of this segment of the population. The existing faoility could be transformed into a very functional senior center with only minor modifications. The growth demand for senior facilities could be met if it is used exclusively for this the purpose, The gym could be fitted with a divider that would provide increased flexibility for programming and then be retracted for large events such as bazaars and dances: Revised :1002 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-19 FWCP - Chapter SIX, Capital Facilities 'ilhile keeping and turning KLCSC into a sertior only facility is achievable at a minimum cost, the facility's rcstrictivc parking and lack of public transportation service remains an issue. There is considerable interest from the community in a larger, more accessible senior center that could be developed as part of a future community center or other public facility(s). Projected cost includes equipment, fixtures, and furniture, Senior Center Fllcilil}' Recommendation 20,000 square foot facility Collooate with community center or other publio facility $4.5 million, oonstruction only Conference/Performing Arts Center in 1994, the City of Federal Way, through the Arts Commission, asked AMS Planning and Research to conduct a feasibility study of a cultural arts facility to serve the City. Under the guidance of a 27-member steering committee, AMS conducted a survey of local arts organizations, analysis of existing cultural and meeting facilities, market research with residents of the City and surrounding communities, interviews with key community leaders representing government and business, and meetings and workshops with the steering committee, all of whom provided base information. The study recommended a performing arts center to seat 1,000 patrons and a visual arts gallery. The performing arts center proposed in this study included design criteria that incorporated multi-level seating to accommodate as many as 500 - 600 people on an orchestra level, while still achieving intimacy for audiences. The construction cost for a performing arts theater was estimated in the 1994 report to be between $190 - $240 per square foot, or approximately $23 million for oonstruotion only. Adiusted to 2007, the per square foot cost can easily be $400 - $500, or $25 to $30 million for construction. Site requirements called for a minimum of five acres; two acres for the facility and three acres to provide for surface parking and to meet additional code requirements. Alternatively, two to two and a half acres would be needed if structured parking is used. The additional cost for structured parking would be $5 to $8 million. Based on these assumptions, +!he full developmental cost is expected to be ~ $35 to $J() $40 million. Maintenance and operation costs for a facility of this size were estimated to be $705,000 $750,000 per year. Projected revenues (using a 171 event day schedule) was $390,200, $390,000, leaving a net operating cost 0[$311,800 $360,000 to be generated through fundraising or an operating endowment. Conference/Performing Arts Facility Recommendation 50,000 square foot facility . Two-acre site . $25 $30 $35 - $40 million Revised ~ 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.20 FWCP - Chapter SIX, Capital F acililies Multipurpose Competitive sports Center The City of Federal Way enacted a 1% lodging tax and formed the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (L T AC) in 1999 to promote and enhance the local tourism industry. The committee has commissioned a feasibility study for an indoor competitive sports facility that will increase visitors' stay in local hotels and complement the Aquatic Center and Celebration Park, two other regional/national amateur sports facilities in the City. A number of development concepts have been considered, one of which is a facility for basketball and volleyball tournaments with an athletic club for training/conditioning to generate on-going usage and revenue. One of the considerations for such a facility would be its ability to be financially self-sustaining. It would also ideally be developed and operated by the private sector, with minimum or no public participation. Conference/Performing Arts Facility Recommendation . 75,000 square foot facility . Five-acre site . $8 $10 $10 - $12 million development and construction only, to be funded by private developer Public ParkinQ Facility The existin~ city center development is currently near or at capacity with the required surface parking to business-space ratio. To intensify the develo{>ment. such as the multi- story mixed-use developments envisioned by the community, additional parking space will be needed. These additional parking spaces would most likely be achieved through structured parking, consistent with the multi-story mixed-use business space. These structured parking facilities are likely needed in order for each of the super-blocks to regain grounds for redevelopment. With the construction cost of structured parking at a premium when compared to land cost, some public/private partnership would likely be needed for them to be financially feasible. The partnership may be in various forms, but the essence is consistent that public funds are invested to secure certain amount of parking spaces in an otherwise private-business parking facility. Public Parkin!! Facilitv Recommendation . 200 to 400 designated public parking spaces in coni unction with privately developed parking structures for redevelopment projects located within the City Center . Between $5 - $10 million total. Investments will vary depending on the need and type of redevelopment proiects at each location. City funding sources would be a combination of the City's economic development incentive fund and other state and federal economic development, and/or infrastructure fundin~ sources. Revised :?oo;! 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-21 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Financing Plan It is desirable to have all theses facilities in the community as soon as possible. However, unless they are funded with private or voter-approved funding sources, the City's projected revenues will not support either the development or the required operating and on-going maintenance of these facilities. Therefore, other than a permanent public safety facility ('Nhioh is substantially funded), additional space for general City operations is subject to resource a';ailability including a potential continuation of the 0.5 peroent utility tax. The financing of maintenance facility improvements is likely to be financed with contribution from King County for the proposed annexation. Other additional future facility additions would depend on future voter approval to raise' additional capital and maintenance funds. The City updates its capital improvements program every other year in conjunction with its biennial budget process. These updates wiIl reflect new project priorities and funding availability. 6.4.1 SCHOOL FACILITIES This section summarizes information in the Federal Way School District No. 210, 2001/02 2007 Capital Facilities Plan (School Plan) and adopts the School Plan by reference. This plan covers the entire Federal Way School District which includes the City of Federal Way, portions of the incorporated City of Kent, City of Des Moines, City of Auburn, and unincorporated areas of King County to the east of Interstate 5. The district provides educational programs to all students who live in the school district service area, whether they live in Federal Way, Kent, Des Moines, Auburn, or unincorporated King County. A school outside the Federal Way City limits may provide service to students who live within the City limits and vice versa. Inventory of Existing Facilities Map VI-6 shows the location of every school in the district. Table VI-6 summarizes the district's student capacity. The district has sufficient capacity in the existing schools and portable buildings to house all of the students in the district. Program Capacity The school district has established a Standard of Service, similar to LOS, for itself, which it caIls "program capacity." The district's program capacity is based on: I) the number of students per classroom; 2) the number of classrooms per school; 3) the number of classes that can be held in each classroom per day; and 4) other operational conditions.

There are other administrative measures that the school district could use to increase school capacity. These measures may include double shifting, modified school calendar, and year-round schooling. These measures have been used in the district on a limited basis, but not district wide. Forecast of Future Needs - Student Forecasts The school district's Business Services Department prepares a forecast of student enrollment annually. Projections are detailed at various levels; district total, school- building totals, and grade level totals. Special populations such as vocational students, special education students, and English as Second Language students are also included in the forecast. The basis for projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. [n a stable population, the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. The district Revised lOO;! 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-23 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital F acililies uses this method with varying years of history and weighting factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of school system are common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis, The district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts and treats these statistics as a cohort of kindergarten for the appropriate enrollment years. Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival method. The cohort method becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are made. The school district study of long-range projections includes information from jurisdictional planners and demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. Table VI-7 describes increased enrollment through the year ~ 2013. It shows that the school district's student population will grow steadily every year with the highest growth in junior high/middle schools elementary. The district has compared existing school capacity with growth forecasts. New construction, modernization and expansion, and additional portable purchases will mitigate the deficit in permanent capacity for the next six years. As an outcome of recommendations from a Study and Survey Committee, the Board of Directors has approved moving to a middle school grade configuration as additional high school spaoe allO'Ns. The District is planning to add one middle school, one high school, increase capacity at three high schools, and replace the existing Harry S, Truman High Sohoo\. e eral a, c 00 Istnct tu ent orecast ENROLLMENT (FIE) ~2007 ~ ;M)l>> ~* ~ ~ ~ Actual 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Elemenlary -I-+;64(l ~ ~ 9,6eG ~ 9#7- ~ 9,013 9.134 9,289 9,386 9,502 9.589 9.614 Junior HigAlMiddle School BOO ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 5.230 4.959 4.915 4.949 5.038 5.121 5.222 Senior High 4,}9{l ~ ~ &A9+ ~ 6;8-3-9 6;%6 6.798 7.057 6,988 6.925 6.742 6.672 6.714 TOTAL J..I.,.W} ~ ~ 2+;-1G9 u.9+9 ~ ~ 21.040 21.150 21.192 21.260 21,282 2!J82 21.550 Table VI-7 F d W S hiD" S d F '~/e..

The School Plan and accompanying six-year finance plan will be updated annually by the school district. This will bring the plan into full compliance with GMA requirements. 6.4.2 WATER SYSTEMS This section summarizes the Lakehaven Utility District's 1998 Comprehensive Water System Plan (Water Plan, incorporated in full by reference) while providing up-to-date information where warranted. Map VI-7 shows Lakehaven Utility District's (hereinafter referred to as "the District" in this section) water service area boundary. Other purveyors provide water to portions of the District's corporate area. The Tacoma Public Utilities, for example, serves an area on the west side of the District's corporate area. Highllne Water District serves a small portion of the north side of the District's corporate area (Map VI-8). The City of Milton serves a small area on the south side ofth~ District's corporate area that is within the City of Milton limits. Areas on the east side of 1-5 within the City limits of Auburn and Pacific are provided water service by the District by agreement with the cities. These areas are at a higher elevation than the valley cities can cost effectively serve. Inventory of Existing Facilities The locations of the District's wells, storage, and other major components of the distribution system are located on }.,fa.p VI 9 provided in the Water Plan. The water system includes approximately 450 miles of water main, 24 production wells, and 12 stora~e tanks. The average annual daily demand in 2005 was about 10.53 million gallons per day (MDG). Gthef The facilities are described in the following sections. Groundwater Resources The District's existing groundwater sources originate from four aquifer systems: the Redondo-Milton Channel Aquifer; Mirror Lake Aquifer; Easter Upland Aquifer; and the Federal Way Deep Aquifer. The Water Plan estimates that the combined production limit for these aquifers on an average-annual basis is 12.3 MGD during average precipitation, and 8.7 MGD during a simulated 10-year drought. The current peak-day combined pumping capacity is 27.8 MGD, assuming the District's largest production well. Well lOA, is out of service. Second Supply Proiect The District participates in the Second Supply Proiect (SSP, aka Tacoma's Pipeline No. 5). The District is accessing the pipeline at three flow control facilities provided at strategic locations along its route through greater Federal Way, These facilities allow the District to receive water from and send water to the Second Supply Proiect (SSP). These Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.2B FWCP - Chapter Six. Capital F ac,litles facilities together add an average 7,8 MGD to the District's water supply, depending upon the availability of water from the Green River. Water available from the SSP is conditioned upon adequate in-stream flows in the Green River. Water Quality Historically, the District has not had to treat its water supplies to meet regulatory requirements before distribution to its customers. However, the District began a chlorination and corrosion control treatment program in July 2001 for all of its groundwater and other sources of supply to meet newer regulations. The district's status with respect to regulated drinking water contaminants covered by the WAC 246-290 and anticipated water quality regulations is summarized in Section 10 of the Water Plan. Regulations that are prompting treatment of the District's groundwater supplies are the Lead and Copper Rule, the anticipated Ground Water Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rule, due to the potential for increased distribution of surface water obtained from Tacoma's (or other utilities') system(s) throughout the District's distribution system. The District has also installed water treatment systems at Well Sites 9, 19/19A, 20/20A, 22/22N22B, 23/23A. and 29 that remove iron, manganese, and other impurities from the groundwater. Stora1!e Facilities According to the Water Plan, storage facilities will remain adequate through the planning period. For the storage analysis, extended-period simulation modeling was conducted to evaluate the storage draw-down during fire flow events and to evaluate storage equalization during multiple-day periods of maximum-day demand conditions, The storage analysis model was conducted using the "Backup Power Approach," which is summarized in Section 9 of the Water Plan. The District has installed an emergency power system at its Well 101l0A Site, and is in the process of installing emergency power systems at its Well 17/17 AlI7B, 19/19A. and Well 25 sites to preclude the need for new storage facilities. Water Conservation Measures The District is committed to implementing aggressive water conservation measures to reduce per capita water consumption. These include programs such as public information campaigns, including block water rate structure to reduce peak day consumption, winter- summer water rate adiustments to reduce summer consumption, and a "wet-month average" sewer rate structure. The District is also working with the City to introduce water conservation measures by amending the zoning and building codes. These measures include a requirement for low flow showerheads and toilets, utilizing species for landscaping with reduced irrigation needs, and use of reclaimed water for irrigation. TransmissionIDistribution System The results of computer modeling have found the transmission and distribution pipeline network to be very robust. Of particular note is that the fire insurance rating for South King Fire and Rescue improved from Class 3 to Class 2 in 2004. The majority of the District is served by this fire agency. Forty percent of the score for the rating process is based upon available water supply. This rating improvement is a significant Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.29 FWCP - Chapter S'X, Capital F ac,hhes accomplishment, as the new classification is on par with the rating held in Seattle and Bellevue, the onlv other departments to hold a Class2 rating (no fire agency in Washington holds a Class 1 rating). The pipeline network is continuing to be expanded through developer extension projects undertaken by land development activity, [nterties/Flow Control Facilities Emergencv [nterties Emergency linterties connect Lakehaven's the District's water system with adjoining systems of other utilities. Emergency linterties allow the District to buy or sell water with adjoining utilities in an emergency and are an essential back up that provides enhanced system reliability, The District has three emergency interties with the City of Tacoma's water system, three emergency interties with Highline Water District's water systems, and one emergency intertie with the City of Milton's water system. first of th:-ee planned flow control facilities has been constructed, where the District will receive water from and send water to the Second Supply Project (aka Tacoma's Pipeline No.5). lnterties/tlow control facilities have been installed at nine different locations '.':ith four of the adjacent '.vater purveyors. Not all interties allo'"", t'.':o Via)' flow. Details of these interties are described below: · An intertie is installed on SW 3251fl Street near 351fl A':enue SW behveen the District and Tacoma Public Utilities system and serves as an emergency supply to a limited area served by Tacoma in the Twin Lakes neighborhood. · 1\11 intertie has been installed on SW 3191fl Street near 301fl Avenue SW between the District and Taooma Public Utilities system. This intertie \-vas enhanced in 1991 by the construction of a control val'ie station to allow full time supply by Tacoma to the District's system '..vhen the District desires water supply supplementation. · ,^. third intertie with Tacoma Public Utilities was added in 1995 at 151h Avenue S\V and SW 3561fl Street to provide an additional full time supply by Tacoma to the District's system ..vhen water supply supplementation is desired by the District. · ^ fourth connection '/lith Tacoma's Second Supply Pipeline at 1st Way South and South 333N Street will provide large amounts of viater to Lalcehaven through its Second Supply Project partnership. Lalcehaven is planning for an additional connection to the Seoond Supply Pipeline east of r 5 near Military Road. · One intertie, located on Pacific Highway South at South 2761fl Street extended, has been installed bet'Neen the Lalcehaven and Highline Water District_systems, This intertie can provide emergency water supply to the Highline District. · i\n intertie between the systems of Highline '.Vater District and Lalcehaven is installed at Pacific Highway South at about South 2711fl Street Emergency ',vater supply through this intertie can flow in either direction since the systems on both sides of the intertie operate at a 490 foot system head. · 1\n intertie is installed on Marine Vie..v Drive near the boundary between Highline Water District and the Lakehaven system at South 25200 Street. This intertie can provide emergency '.'/ater flow in either direction. Revised ~ 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.30 FWCP - Chapter SIX, Caplial F aclhties . ^n intertie has also been constructed with the City of Milton's water system (Pacific Highway South and 377lJ1 Street), but due to significant differences in head behveen the two systems (150 feet, LUD \IS. 330 feet; Milton), water is only provided to Milton on an emergency basis. . An intertie is located at R Street NW and ,^,aby Drive for emergency fire protection to :\.uburn' s i\aby Drive pressure zone. The intertie consists of a six inch service meter from Lakehaven's 315 pressure zone. The first of three planned flow control facilities (named SSP #2) has been constructed at +st 'Nay South and the Bonneville Power :\dministration (BP,^.) power transmission line corridor crossing at about South 33200 Street, at the current easterly terminus of the Second Supply Project (aka Tacoma's Pipeline No.5). These facilities are the points at which the District '.vill receive 'Nater from and send water to the Second Supply Project. These facilities are somewhat different from "interties," in that the District has different rights to the water that will flow in the pipeline as implied by the District's financial interest in the Second Supply Project. Forecast of Future Needs The 1998 Comprehensive Water System Plan estimates future need by analyzing existing water demand (measured consumption plus unaccounted-for/non-revenue water loss) patterns on a daily, seasonal, and yearly basis, The District converts gross water consumption values into per capita consumption in gallons per day. :\ verage per capita water consumption in the District ...:as projected to be approximately 106 gallons per day in 1999. This figure, multiplied by projected population gro'Nth, provides a rough estimate of the future demand for '.'later, These numbers were reduced slightly to account for the reduction in '.vater consumption associated \vith the District's '1later conservation program. Between 1997 and 20 I 7, the water service area population is expected to increase by 11,600 people, for a total water service population of 138,300. The District breaks down the water demand values on an "equivalent residential unit" (ERU) basis, which is essentially the amount of water used by an "average" family residing in an "average" single family residence situated within the District's water service area, if used uniformly over the year. The seven-year District-wide average of measured unit consumption between 1999 and 2005 was 234.41 gallons per day per ERU. When including the unaccounted-for/non-revenue water loss component, the District-wide average day demand becomes about 255 gallons per day per ERU. Population and employment growth proiections converted to ERU's are then utilized to estimate future water demands. Utilizing a conservative methodology that disregards the impact of the District's water conservation efforts, the Water Plan estimates average day demands will increase from 10.53 MGD in 2005, to 11.04 MGD in 2012, and to 12.77 MGD in 2025. location of Expanded and Improved Facilities The District has programmed a number' of system improvements to maintain and expand the' existing water system~ conserve water, develop water sources, drill wells, and expand the distribution system. These improvements are summarized below. Revised 200~ 2007 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment I VI.31 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital F acllilles Groundwater Resources The District is drilling and developing an additional production well (Well No. 33) to perfect its water rights. The District is continuing to pursue its OASIS proiect (Optimization of Aquifer Storage for Increased Supply), under the ASR concept (Aquifer Storage and Recovery). The OASIS feasibility study determined that the Mirror Lake Aquifer can be used to store UP to approximately 9.4 billion gallons of water filled over the winter from excess water supply and withdrawn over the drier summer months for water supply purposes. Combining funding from its wastewater utility, the District is also pursuing its Water Reuse/Reclamation Proiect, utilizing wastewater suitably treated at the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant, conveyed through a separate pipeline system, and utilized for beneficial purposes, such as augmenting groundwater supplies. Second Supply Pipeline The District is ourrently io','olved in developing other souroes of water. The most significant effort is the Second Supply Project (aka Tacoma's Pipeline No.5). Based on current plans, the District will access the pipeline at three looations. The first flow control facility (to be named SSP #1) is proposed near Military Road and the Bonne','ille Power .^.dministration (BPA) pmver transmission line corridor at about South 317111 Street The second flo...,' control facility (named SSP ff2) has been consRucted at the current easterly terminus of the Second Supply Projeot located at First Way South and the BPA corridor crossing at about South 33200 Street. The third flow oontrol facility (to be named SSP ff3) will be constructed and located at SW 356"t Street and the BPi\' corridor crossing at 15111 Avenue SVl (currently named Tacoma Intertie No.3). These facilities together '"",ould add on average, 1.6 million gallons per day (MGD) to the District's supply depending l:Ipon the availability of water. Water available from the Second Supply Project is conditioned upon adequate in stream flO\vs in the Green River. The expansion of storage behind Improvements are being implemented to the Howard Hanson Dam-on the Green River that will expand storage behind it, which will help mitigate the seasonal variation in available water by increasing in-stream flows during the drier parts of the year. The City should carefully monitor this project's progress to ensure that ',vater will be available to meet future needs as identified in the FWCP. \Vater Resources The District's '....ater service area is located in the southwest portion of King County. 1\s of the end of 200 I, the District was serving a residential population of apprOJ(imately 100,000 through 26,967 connections. The water system includes approximately 100 miles of water main, 20 active '.vells, and 12 storage tanks. The average daily demand in 2001 was about 10.1 MGD, The District's existing '..vater sources are predominately grmmdv,'ater supplies that originate from four aquifer systems: the Redondo Milton Channel Aquifer; Mirror Lake Aquifer; Eastern Upland f.quifer; and the Federal Way Deep Aquifer. The Water Plan estimates that the combined production limit for these aquifers on an average annual basis is 10.1 MGD during average precipitation and 9.0 MGD during a simulated 10 year drought The ,current peale day combined pumping capacity is 30.5 MGD, assuming the_District's largest production well, Well lOA, is out of service. Since 1991, the District has bought surface water from Tacoma Public Utilities from time to time to supplement and conserve Revised 2002 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-32 FWCP - Chapler Six, Capital F acililies groundwater supplies, However, since October 2000, the District has not purchased \vater from the Tacoma Public Utilities because aquifer water levels have sufficiently recovered. The District will be increasing its '.vater supply by over 50 percent when Tacoma's Second Supply Pipelifle is completed at the end of 2001 and the District begins receiving its share of the project water. l\fter construction of the pipeline, the District does not plan to ' purchase any water from Tacoma P\;Iblic Utilities on a wholesale basis. Water Quality Historically, the District has not had to treat its water supplies before distribution. Groundvlater quality has generally been sufficient. However, the District began a chlorination and corrosion control treatment program in July 2001 fDr all of its ground,.vater and other sources of sl:lpply (for regulatory pl:lrposes). The District's status with respect to regulated drinking water contaminants covered by the' WAC 216290 and anticipated water quality regulations is summarized in ChapterlO of the Waler Plan. Regulations that are prompting treatment of the District's grmlRdwater supplies are the Lead and Copper Rule, the anticipated GroUfld Water Rule, and Surface Water Treatment Rule due to the potential for increased distribution of surface water obtained from Tacoma's (or other utilities') system(s) througkoHt the District's distribution system. Filtration is planned for the Green River water conveyed by the Second Supply Proiect. The District has plans to install water treatment systems at Well Sites 10C, 17/17N17B, and 21 to remove iron, manganese, and other impurities from the groundwater. Storage Improvements Aocording to the Water Plan, storage is adequate at this time. Por storage analysis, extended period simulation modeling was conducted to evaluate the storage dra',>,' do\\'Il during fire flow events and to evaluate storage equalization during multiple day periods of maximum day demand conditions. The storage analysis model ,vas conducted using the "Bac\CHp Power Approach," which is summarized in Chapter 9 oftke Water Plan. Improvement requirements based on the storage analyses include: installation of backup pov/er at certain wells; seismic upgrades of the 312tll Street tank; and installation of additional boosting capacity to the 578 system (presumably near the intersection of 23ffi Avenue South and South 320"' Street). Water COHser'latioH M.easHres The District is oommitted to implementing aggressive v/ateT conser/ation measures to reduce per capita water consumption. These include programs such as public information campaigns, rate adjustments to reduce summer and peak day consmnption, and every third day lav.n watering calendars. :\t present, the conservation program is voluntary, but certain mandatory curtailment measure may be implemented in the future if extreme conditions '/la-rrant such measures. The District will also work "'lith the City to introduce water conservation measures by amending the zoning and building codes. These measures could include a requirement for low flow showerheads and toilets, utilizing species fDr landsoaping "'lith reduced irrigation needs, and use of reclaimed water for irrigation. Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment VI.33 FWCP - Chapter Si<, Capilal F acililies TransmissionIDistribution System Minor improvements to the transmission and distribution pipeline network are recommended in the Water Plan, such as a new transmission main in the Adelaide and Lake Grove neighborhoods to convey water more efficiently to nearby storage facilities. Significant investments are also contemplated to relocate existing pipelines that will conflict with infrastructure resulting from street improvement projects undertaken by other agencies within the District's water service area. Finance Plan A utility undertakes a capital program for many different reasons, including: expanding the capacity of its systems, maintaining the integrity of existing systems, and addressing regulatory requirements. The District is required to comply with its own Water Plan and to support regional decisions on population growth and land use, The District has identified several significant capital improvement projects in its Water Plan. The scheduling of these projects is included in the Lalcehaven Utility District's 2001/ 2002 Adopted most recent Capital Improvement Program Projects (CIP) (Ta.ble VI 9, page 26, and Map V! 10) that is developed and approved annually. The District has access to sufficient funds that can be utilized for operation and maintenance of its existing facilities, and for pursuing Gfapital PQrojects. and Operations. In addition, the District has depreciation, interest income, assessment income, and connection charge monies that it can utilize for funding the CIP. Additionally, the District can borrow money or increase rates, if necessary, to best meet the needs of its customers. The District has utilized a very conservative approach in budgeting for the CIP by utilizing the growth projections developed by each of the land use jurisdictions located within the District. The District will provide facilities as required to support growth within its service area. The schedule and project costs will be updated annually through the District's budget and capital improvement program process. .^.s part of the 2000 budget prooess, the Board of Commissioners authorized oonsultants to prepare a rate study, 'Nhich inoorporated all phases of Capital and Operations expenditures. Based on this study, subsequent disoussion, and input from a public hearing, the Board raised 'Nater rates by eight percent. /\ portion of the rate increase provides for the additional operating costs that are anticipated upon completion of the budgeted CIP. The rate related revenue increase is intended to cover anticipated operating and capital costs over the next three years.

Map -14---J-I. VI-9 shows the District's sewer service area. Other utilities provide retail sewer service to relatively small portions of the District's corporate area, including Midway Sewer District on the north side of the District, the City of Auburn on the east side of the District, and the City of MiltonlPierce County on the south side of the District. In addition, other utilities provide conveyance and treatment services to portions of the District's retail sewer service area, including Midway Sewer District, Metro/King County, Pierce County, and the City of Tacoma. As of the end of 2005, the District was serving a residential population of approximately 87,000 through 24,000 connections. Inventory of Existing Facilities The sanitary sewer system is comprised of three major components: the trunk collection system, the pump station system, and the wastewater treatment J*affis and disposal system. The trunk system collects wastewater from drainage basins and conveys it to the treatment facilities, fHa>>t primarily by gravity flow. In areas where use of gravity flow is not possible, pump stations and force mains are used to pump the sewage to a location where gravity flow can be used. Map VIn sho\vs the location of these components of the District's sanitary sewer system. The locations of the maior components are provided in the Wastewater Plan. The existing collection system operated and maintained by the District consists of approximately 275 miles of sanitary sewer pipe, 6,400 manholes, 2+~ pump stations, 6 siphons, and 2 secondary wastewater treatment plants, namely the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Redondo Wastewater Treatment Plant. The system has been constructed over a number of years, as dictated by development trends in the area. The system is currently divided into 7 primary basins and 40 smaller sub-basins. The wastewater generated within the two largest basins, Lakota and Redondo, flow to the District's wastewater treatment plants. The remaining five basins currently discharge to the other utilities for treatment and disposal, as mentioned above. The District currently has the capacity in all the major components of the system to accommodate the existing demand for sanitary sewer service. The wastewater treatment plants have been retrofitted with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems to replace chlorination systems to comply with state regulations. Maior sewer facilities have recently been constructed to expand sewer service into large "unsewered" areas (the Revised 2002 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-38 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities 19th/20th Avenue SW Sewer Trunk and Weyerhaeuser Sewer Trunk), and to divert flow to its own treatment facilities that had previously been conveyed to other utilities for treatment (Pump Station No. 45 and the South End Diversion Sewer Trunk). Significant u{Jgrades have been undertaken for its largest pumping facility. Pump Station No.6, to improve its reliability and provide an odor control system, Other existing pump stations have been significantly upgraded with new pumps and electrical systems (Pump Station No.7, 10, and 22), and others have been provided on-site emergency generators to allow their continuous operation during a commercial power outage (Pump Station No. 35). A recent maior proiect was undertaken to replace deteriorated pipe material for the North Beach Sewer Trunk Pipeline along the Puget Sound shoreline at Lower Woodmont. In addition to the expansion of the District's collection system funded by developers, the District recently funded a new pressure sewer collection system to provide sewer service availability to residents in the established Lakota Beach neighborhood near the Puget Sound shoreline. Forecast of Future Needs Population forecasts are based on the adopted land use plans of the various jurisdictions within which the District operates. +fley The {Jopulation figures are presented by drainage basin to allow for evaluation of the system and consideration of future improvement alternatives. As of 1997, there ,>vere approximately 109,000 residents 'within the District's corporate boundary. The population within the District's sewer service area is projected to increase to nearly 12 I ,000 by 2003, and almost 150,000 by 2017, approaching the proiected "ultimate" population of 180,000 based upon land capacity. An estimated 7,500 on-site wastewater disposal systems are in operation within the District's corporate boundary. It is anticipated that sewer service will be extended to these "unsewered" areas as on-site systems become less viable to maintain and/or when new development requires public sewers. The average base daily flow tributary to frem the District's two wastewater treatment plants, excluding infiltration and inflow (I & I), is currently estimated at ++ 5.8 MGD and is expected to increase to nearly H 8.0 MGD by 20~1l, 15 MGD by 2017, and nearly ~ 17.0 MGD at full development. Peak hourly flows, tributary to the District's two wastewater treatment plants, including infiltration and inflovl (I & I~, are currently estimated at U 26.9 MGD, and are expected to increase to nearly 28.2 in 1997,33 MGD by 2017, and 4& 40.0 MGD at fuli development. Hydraulic capacity at both wastewater treatment plants is estimated to be available up to the original design peak hour capacities of22.2 MGD for Lakota and 13.8 MGD for Redondo. location and Capacities of future Facilities The District develops a capital improvement projects (Crp) summary as a part of the annual district budget process. This CIP lists individual capital projects for the sucoeeding 10 year time frame. The CIP prioritizes the projects aooording to the system needs. ,".Iso included in this list of projects are the ones that are continued from previous Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-39 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities years, A list of these capital projects can be found in the District's 2001/02 !\dopted Capital Improvement Projects (Map VI /3 and Table VI /0, page 31 ). Expanded and Improved Facilities The District is planning the rehabilitation and lengthening of the Redondo Wastewater Treatment Plant's outfall pipeline that discharges treated wastewater into Puget Sound. A project to further dewater and dry the biosolids material that results from the wastewater treatment process, is being considered to reduce operating costs. Combining funding from its water utility, the District is also pursuing its Water ReusefReclamation Proiect, utilizing wastewater suitably treated at the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant, conveyed through a separate pipeline system, and utilized for beneficial purposes, such as augmenting groundwater supplies. Additional new and expanded sewer facilities are planned to divert additional flow to its own treatment facilities that is currently being conveyed to other utilities for treatment (new Pump Station No, 44 and expanded Pump Station No. 33). On-site emergency generators are planned at other existing pump stations (Pump Stations No. 12,37 and 41) to allow their continuous operation during a commercial power outage. The District is continuing to fund new pressure sewer collection systems to provide sewer service availability to residents in established neighborhoods, particularly those around lakes (North Lake, Five-Mile Lake, etc.). Finance Plan , A utility undertakes a capital program for many different reasons, including: expanding the capacity of its systems, maintaining the integrity of existing systems, and addressing regulatory requirements. The District In addition, the utility is required to comply with its own Comprehensive Wastewater System Plan and to support regional decisions on population growth and land use. The District has identified several significant updates its capital improvement program projects in its Wastewater Plan. annually as part oCthe District's budget process. For specific inf-ormatiofl on the Finance Plan, please refer to the District's most recent capital improvements program for revenue and cost information related to the District's proposed capital projects. The scheduling of these proiects is included in the District's most current Capital Improvement Program (Crp) that is developed and approved annually. The District has access to sufficient funds that can be utilized for Capital Projects and GQperations and maintenance of its existing facilities. and for pursuing capital proiects. In addition, the District has depreciation, interest income, assessment income, and connection charge monies that it can utilize for funding the-ii: CIP. Additionally, the District can borrow money or increase rates, if necessary, to best meet the needs of its customers. Revised :ww 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.40 FWCP - Chapler Six, Capilal F acihlies The District has utilized a very conservative approach in budgeting for the CIP by utilizing the growth proiections developed by each of the land use iurisdictions located with the District. The District will provide facilities as required to support growth within its service area. The schedule and proiect costs will be updated annually through the District's budget and capital improvement program process. As part of the 2000 budget process, the Board of Commissioners authorized consultants to prepare a rate study, whioh inoorporated all phases of Capital and Operations. Based on this study, subsequent discussion, and input from a public hearing, the Board raised wastewater rates by eight percent. f. portion of the rate inorease provides for the additional operating costs that are anticipated upon completion of the budgeted CIP. The rate related revenue increase is intended to cover anticipated operating and oapital oosts over the next three years. 6.4.4 FIRE FACILITIES This section summarizes the Federal Way Fire Department, Long Range Plan (Fire Plan) adopted in 1991, South King Fire and Rescue Strategic Leadership Plan, and the department's subsequent Strategic Plans updates. The fire department provides service to the entire City of Federal Way, the entire City of Des Moines, and surrounding unincorporated area. Total population in the department's service area is approximately 150,000 citizens. Services include fire suppression, fire prevention (building inspection and public information), emergency medical, hazardous materials responses, public education, emergency management, and rescue emergencies (special operations). +fie Federal Way Fire Department South King Fire and Rescue has a contract with the City of Federal Way and Valley Communications for the provision of emergency 911 communications, wherein they act together with the City as a part owner of Valley Communications, The Fire South King Fire and Rescue Strategic Leadership Plan identifies and programs improvements that are necessary to maintain existing service standards and to meet the needs of future residents and businesses. The Department's Fire PQlan and future updates are adopted by reference into the FWCP. The fire department provides fire suppression service to the entire City. In order to do this, the department has adopted the follmving LOS standards~ found in the South King Fire and Rescue Resolution Number 413. . An emergency response time of less than seven minutes, 80 percent of the time (response time is measured from the time that the call is answered by Valley Communications until the first apparatus in on the scene) five minutes 30 seconds, 90 peroent of the time was the l?;oal for 2006. . Each emergency fire response should include a minimum of two fire fighting vehicles and four fully equipped and fully trained crevlmembers 15 trained and equipped firefighters and apparatus commensurate with the emergency (a standard response of four engines, one ladder truck, and one command vehicle are sent on all structural incidents).

The fire department provides a full building inspection service for fire code compliance. Tne department is currently providing service that is generally consistent with its adopted LOS standards. The fire department also depends on having adequate water pressure available in fire hydrants to extinguish fires. The department works with the Lakehaven Utility District, Highline Water District (in the City of Des Moines), and other water utilities within its corporate limits, to ensure that adequate "fire flow" is always available. Lakehaven Utility District's Water System Plan analyzes "fire flow" rates available at different points in its water system, and programs improvements to the water system to ensure that sufficient water is available for fire suppression. Emergency Medical Services Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responds to 911 calls and provides field services. This service is paid for by property taxes. Emergency Medioal Servioes are EMS is provided as a marginal cost to the fire department as fire facilities are utilized to provide this service to the community. Although there are no dedioated facilities planned for provision of EMS, tm-ee aid oars are soheduled for replaoement in the year 2003 at a projected cost of $336,000. The fire department replaces its five front line aid cars, of which staffs three on a normal basis, commensurate with its capital replacement plan and capital reserves system. The section on funding (Funding Plan) addresses how the ongoing replacement purchase of these aid cars will be funded. Inventory and Capacity of Existing Facilities The department has two major types of capital facilities. One is fire stations and the other is capital investment in equipment and, in particular, fire engines. The department's fire stations are shown on Map.JLl-l4 VI-lO. Forecast of Future Needs From 1986 through 1992, emergency responses increased at an average annual rate of over eight percent. In 1990, public education efforts included 911-use/abuse training. The increases in call volume during 1993 and 1994 leveled off with 1994 volume increasing Revised 2002 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-45 FWCP - Chapter S'X, Capital Facilities only 1.5 percent from the 1992 level. It is unknown, however, how much, if any, effect the 911 public education effort had on actual call volumes. In 1995 and 1996, calls for service again increased at an average rate of 8.1 percent. Although calls actually decreased slightly in 1997, call volumes increased by 14 percent in 1998. The call data indicates a fairly steady increase of approximately six percent per year. Emergency medical incidents have increased more rapidly than non-medical incidents. During the 1990s, structure fires have declined. The challenge for the fire department will be to manage fixed-cost investments, such as new stations, and to be flexible in its ability to meet fluctuating call volumes. Location and Capacity of Expanded or New Facilities During 1996, an annexation by the City of Des Moines impacted the Federal Way Fire Department. The Des Moines annexation (W oodmontlRedondo) could cost the department an estimated $500,000 annually, although a contract for services behveen the department and Fire District tl26 provides continued funding to the department in exchange for oontinued fire protection from the department for those areas. It is unclear how long this relationship will remain in existenoe. If either party should give the required 12 month notice to eliminate the contract, District #26 would talce ownership of Station tl6 (27010 15lk Avenue South). The department has purchased property at South 288lk and Interstate 5 as a contingency against that possibility. This 'lIould acoommodate the building of a new station that is more centrally located in the north end of the City. This realignment of stations, response areas; and revenues would require closure of Station tiS (1966 South 298lkj-, In September of 2005, the citizens within the City of Des Moines voted overwhelmingly to merge with the City of Federal Way Fire Department. The result of this merger caused the name of the fire department to change from the Federal Way Fire Department to its present South King Fire and Rescue. The legal name for the fire district is actually King County Fire Protection District #39 (KCFPD #39), although the department does business as South King Fire and Rescue. South King Fire and Rescue operates out of eight stations, seven of which are response stations with the eighth being a training and maintenance facility. Two of the eight stations are located within the City of Des Moines, two stations lie within unincorporated King County, and four are located with the City of Federal Way. As of 2006 projections, the fire department responds on approximately 16,000 emergencies annually, Second, the The department may have need for an additional station in the near future in the south end of the City in the vicinity of 3561h and Pacific Highway; or, possibly a little more north in the area of South 336111 or 3481h and Pacific Highway South. If this area continues to experience significant commercial growth, the department anticipates that the calls for service will also continue to grow. In this eventuality, an additional station may be needed to maintain acceptable response times. The department has acquired property in this area the area of 356111 and Pacific Highway South through a swap of properties with Lakehaven Utility District to assure future availability of a station site. Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI.46 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Additionally. the department may have a need for an additional station in the future in the far north end of the tire district within the City of Des Moines, The North Hill area of Des Moines is protected both by South King Fire aAd Rescue, as welI as KCFPD #2, via an interlocal first response agreement. The timing of this potential new station would be predicated upon any future merger discussions between the two fire districts (South King Fire and Rescue and KCFPD #2), none of which are currently taking place. Any new station should be able to accommodate an on-duty crew of three fire fighters, with appropriate living and 'sleeping quarters. In addition, the structure should be able to house two engines and an aid car, with room for growth dictated by LOS demands. It may also be appropriate to provide a public meeting room and an office for community policing in new facilities. The cost of these facilities is approximately $1,500,000 $2,000,000. Equipment would be in the range of $500,000 $700,000 for a new station~ ffi the south end. Equipment for a new station in the north end would be provided from the closures of Stations 5 & 6. The fire department does not presently have a timeline for construction of new fire stations at either of their two proposed fire station locations. Funding Plan The fire department has established a capital reserve fund for the systematic replacement of all capital equipment. These reserves are funded from the annual revenues of the department. The department also has established a long term goal of a minimum of three four-paid fire fighters on each fire apparatus (this is the national standard adopted by NFP A 1710). Additional staff that is hired in support of that goal will be funded from either new construction levies or additional voter-approved levies. The department has not established any funds for purchase of new stations or associated equipment. These purchases would require voter-approved bonds. In the department's annually adopted budget, capital projects are identified. This capital projects list is up-dated based on completed projects and changing priorities. The FWCP adopts by reference the Department's South King Fire and Rescue Master Plan Strategic Leadership Plan, as well as the annual capital improvements program update. 6.5 GOALS AND POLICIES The goals and policies in this section implement the GMA requirements and the CWPP. The City of Federal Way takes responsibility for implementing only those goals and policies for services provided by the City. Special service districts, such as the school, utility, and fire districts, must implement goals and policies that are consistent with their respective plans. The City does intend, however, to closely coordinate the City's plan with these service districts so that the citizens of Federal Way receive the highest level of service possible. Revised :1llW 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-47 FWCP - Chapler Six. Capital Facilities Goal CFGI Annually update the Capital Facilities Plan to implement the FWCP by coordinating urban services. land use decisions. level of service standards. and financial resources with a fully funded schedule of capital improvements. Policies CFPI Provide needed public facilities and services to implement the FWCP. CFP2 Support and encourage joint development and use of community facilities with other governmental or community organizations in areas of mutual concern and benefit. CFP3 Emphasize capital improvement projects that promote the conservation, preservation, redevelopment, or revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential areas in Federal Way. CFP4 Adopt by reference all facilities plans and future amendments prepared by other special districts that provide services within the City. These plans must be consistent with the FWCP. CFPS Adopt by reference the annual update of the Federal Way Capital Improvement Program for parkslrecreation, surface water management, and the Transportation Improvement Program. CFP6 Protect investments in existing facilities through an appropriate level of maintenance and operation funding. CFP7 Maximize the use of existing public facilities and promote orderly compact urban growth. Goal CFG2 To meet current needs for capital facilities in Federal Way. correct deficiencies · in existing systems, and replace or improve obsolete facilities. Balancing existing capital facilities needs with the need to provide additional facilities to serve growth is a major challenge for Federal Way. It is important to maintain our prior investments as well as serve new growth. Clearly, tough priority decisions are facing Federal Way policy-makers. Policies CFP8 Give priority consideration to projects mandated by law, and those by state and federal agencies. Revised 200:! 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-48 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities CFP9 Give priority consideration to subsequent phases of phased projects when phase one is fully funded and under construction. CFPlO Give priority consideration to projects that renovate existing facilities and preserve the community's prior investment or reduce maintenance and operating costs. CFPII Give priority consideration to projects that correct existing capital facilities deficiencies, encourage full utilization of existing facilities, or replace worn out or obsolete facilities. CFP12 Give priority to projects where leveraged monies such as grants and low interest loans can be used. Goal CFG3 Provide capital facilities to serve and direct future growth within Federal Way and its Potential Annexation Area as they urbanize. It is crucial to identify, in advance of development, sites for schools, parks, fire and police stations, major stormwater facilities, greenbelts, open space, and road connections, Acquisition of sites for these facilities must occur in a timely manner and as early as possible in the overall development of the area. Otherwise, acquisition opportunities will be missed, with long-term functional or financial implications. Policies CFP13 Provide the capital facilities needed to serve the future growth anticipated by the FWCP. CFPl4 Coordinate efforts between the Public Works and Parks Departments in the acquisition of and planning for public open space, recreation, public education, and stream preservation within the Hylebos Basin. Departments may combine resources as appropriate to increase project efficiencies and success rates in pursuit of grant opportunities. CFPlS Give priority consideration to projects needed to meet concurrency requirements for growth management. CFPl6 Plan and coordinate the location of public facilities and utilities in advance of need. CFPl7 Implement a concurrency management system which permits project approval only after a finding is made that there is capacity available in the transportation system sufficient to maintain the adopted level of service standard. Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comorehensive Plan Amendment VI.49 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facihties CFP18 The provision of urban services shall be coordinated to ensure that areas identified for urban expansion are accompanied with the maximum possible use of existing facilities and cost effective service provisions and extensions while ensuring the protection and preservation of resources. CFP19 Coordinate future economic activity with planning for public facilities and services. CFP20 Purchase property in the Potential Annexation Area and keep it in reserve for future City parks and surface water facilities. CFP21 Consider public/private partnerships to leverage structured parking in association with City Center development or redevelopment, in fulfillment of comprehensive plan vision and goals. Goal CFPG4 Provide adequatefundingfor capital facilities in Federal Way to ensure the FWCP vision and goals are implemented. The GMA requires that the Land Use chapter be reassessed if funding for capital facilities falls short of needs. The intent is to ensure that necessary capital facilities are available prior to, or concurrently with new growth and development. Capital facilities plans must show a balance between costs and revenues. There are essentially five options available for balancing the capital facilities budget: increase revenues, decrease level of service standards, decreasethe cost of the facilities, decrease the demand for the public service, or reduce the rate of growth and new development. Policies CFP21 CFP22 Manage the City of Federal Way's fiscal resources to support providing needed capital improvements. Ensure a balanced approach to allocating financial resources between: I) major maintenance of existing facilities; 2) eliminating existing capital facility deficiencies; and 3) providing new or expanding existing facilities to serve new growth. CFP22 CFP23 Use the Capital 'Facilities Plan to integrate all of the community's capital project resources including grants, bonds, general funds, donations, impact fees, and any other available funding. ' CFP23 CFP24 Ensure that long-term capital financing strategies and policies are consistent with all the other FWCP chapters. CFP24 CFP25 Pursue funding strategies that require new growth and development to pay its fair share of the cost of facilities that are required to maintain adopted level of service standards. One such strategy that should be implemented in the near term is an impact fee program for parks and transportation. Revised :lQQ2 2007 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-50 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capilal F acililies CFP2S CFP26 Promote a more efficient use of all public facilities by enacting interlocal agreements which facilitate joint maintenance and operations of those facilities. CFP2G CFP27 Use the following available contingency strategies should the City be faced with capital facility funding shortfalls: . Increase revenues by selling general obligation bonds, enacting utility taxes, imposing impact fees, and raising property tax levy rates. Decrease level of service standards t@ a level that is more affordable. Decrease the cost of the facility by changing or modifying the scope of the project. Decrease the demand for the service or facilities by establishing a moratorium on development, focusing development into areas where facility capacity is available, or changing project timing and/or phasing. . . . CFP27 CFP28 Aggressively pursue grants or private funds when available to finance capital facility projects. CFP28 CFP29 Maximize the usefulness of bond funds by using these monies to the greatest extent possible as matching funds for grants. Goal CFPG5 Ensure that the Federal Way Capital Facilities Plan is current and responsive to the community vision and goals. The role of monitoring and evaluation is vital to the effectiveness of any planning program and particularly for the Capital Facilities chapter. The City's revenues and expenditures are subject to economic fluctuations and are used to predict fiscal trends in order to maintain the City's adopted level of service for public facilities. This Capital Facilities Plan will be annually reviewed and amended to verify that fiscal resources are available to provide public facilities needed to support adopted LOS standards, Policies CFP29 CFP30 Monitor the progress of the Capital Facilities Plan on an ongoing basis, including the completion of major maintenance projects, the expansion of existing facilities, and the addition of new facilities. Evaluate this progress with respect to trends in the rate and distribution of growth, impacts upon service quality, and FWCP direction. CFP30 CFP31 Review, update, and amend the Capital Facilities Plan annually. Respond to changes in the rates of growth, new development trends, and changing City priorities, budget, and financial considerations. Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VI-51 FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Make provisions to reassess the FWCP periodically in light of the evolving Capital Facilities Plan. Take appropriate action to ensure internal consistency of the chapters in the plan. CFP31 CFP32 Continue to coordinate with other capital facility and service providers to ensure that all necessary services and facilities are provided prior to or concurrent with new growth and development.

The chapter integrates the community's vision for a City Center with the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) adopted VISION 2020 plan, and King County's countywide strategy for developing a network of centers. In this chapter, the term "urban center" is used consistent with the VISION 2020/King County definition, or to refer to the general characteristics ofa sub-regional center. The term "City Center" applies specifically to Federal Way's proposed center, which includes a City Center core area and frame area, Only the City Center core area is intended to meet the requirements of an urban center, in accordance with the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). Pu rposes The principal purposes of the Federal Way City Center chapter are to: · Create an identifiable downtown that is the social and economic focus of the City; · Strengthen the City as a whole by providing for long-term growth in employment and housing; · Promote housing opportunities close to employment; · Support development of an extensive regional transportation system; · Reduce dependency on automobiles; · Consume less land with urban development; · Maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services; · Reduce costs of and time required for permitting; · Provide a central gathering place for the community; and · Improve the quality of urban design for all developments. Background The VISION 2020 Plan (1995 update), Regional Goal #1 states, "Locate development in urban growth areas to conserve natural resources and enable efficient provision of services and facilities. Within urban growth areas, focus growth in compact communities and centers in a manner that uses land efficiently, provides parks and recreation areas, is pedestrian-oriented, and helps strengthen communities. Connect and serve urban communities with an efficient, transit oriented, multi-modal transportation system." King County's CWPPs support this goal by encouraging: · Establishment of an urban center that is a vibrant, unique, and attractive place to live and work; FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center . Efficient public services including transit; and . Responding to local needs and markets for jobs and housing. The CWPPs define urban centers as concentrated, mixed-use areas, a maximum size of 12 square miles (960 acres), and oriented around a high capacity transit station. At build- out, the policies envision that the center would contain a minimum of 15,000 jobs within 2 miles of the transit center, 50 employees per gross acre, and an average of 15 households per acre. The urban center policies also call for: . Adopting regulations which encourage transit use and discourage the use of single-occupant vehicles; . Emphasizing the pedestrian features and promoting superior urban design; . Providing sufficient public open spaces and recreational opportunities; and . Uses that provide daytime and nighttime activities. The CWPPs recogniz,e that with this growth will come an increased need for infrastructure. The policies, therefore, indicate that priority will be given to ensure the development of additional transportation and other infrastructure improvements necessary to support new, concentrated growth in urban centers. During a series of community workshops held in 1992 and 1993 (which are described in chapter one), participants helped to develop a "vision" for Federal Way's future. This vision included the creation of a City Center. With the support of the residential and business community, Federal Way nominated itself to contain an urban center. Nominations were reviewed by the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), which confirmed the Federal Way City Center Core area as an urban center in 1994. The urban center designation should help Federal Way continue to gain access to County funds needed to provide infrastructure as the City Center grows. The Role of the City Center in Federal Way's Future There are several reasons why a definable, vital City Center is an important part of Federal Way's future. These include: Community Support - The Federal Way community has made the City Center a significant part of its vision. Participants in community workshops helped to develop a vision for Federal Way's future. 'A keystone of that plan is an attractive, multi-faceted City Center providing the setting for civic features and commercial activities. Economic Development - Federal Way's economic development strategy relies on a strong urban center. As discussed in the Economic Development chapter, Federal Way has the opportunity to transform itself from an essentially residential and retail based economy to an emerging, sub-regional economic center with an expanded, more diversified employment base. Revised 2002 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-2 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Natural Evolution - The development of a more -intensive, multi-use urban center is a natural step in Federal Way's evolution. Most new centers start out as bedroom communities. Retail businesses develop first; office and industrial activities next begin to locate at key transportation crossroads, adding jobs and strengthening the employment base. Federal Way has experienced all evolutionary phases, with the exception of one. The final step is achieving a sufficient critical mass in'the City Center to produce lively street activity; support specialty business, cultural/entertainment facilities; justify the investment for public parks, amenities, and improved transportation systems; and create the interactive "synergy" of a true urban center. Federal Way's economic development strategy will add this final essential step in this evolution. Growth Management - Developing a C-ity Center is part of a regional strategy to address Western Washington's growth management. Public policy makers have focused increased attention on issues affecting our quality of life, including urban sprawl and the accompanying reduction of open space, declining housing affordability, and increasing traffic congestion. As stated previously, concentrating future growth within the four county region into a number of centers (rather than a continued pattern of dispersion), linked by an efficient high capacity transit system, is one of the principal goals to manage this growth. 7.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS City Center Planning Area The City Center planning area, consisting of the City Center Core and Frame zones, is approximately 414 acres in size and is bounded by South 3l2th Street, South 3241h Street, Interstate 5, 11th Place South, and 13th Avenue South (see Maps VII-I and VII-2, maps are located at the end of the chapter). The City Center Core and Frame areas are 209 and 205 acres, respectively. General Image The City Center does not currently present an identifiable sense of a downtown or urban center, The existing commercial development within the study area is typical of suburban strip retail and mall development. The dominance of mass retailing has largely shaped the commercial core. The SeaTac Mall Commons and spin-off retail centers are a local and regional destination and generate great amounts of physical and economic activity. However, as is the case with most older suburban mall areas, there is little, if anything, distinctive or unique about the existing City Center. Essentially, it could be anyplace. It is similar to hundreds of other commercial centers across the country. The businesses do not connect to each other, or to public and private spaces, residential neighborhoods, or civic uses, except by automobile. Development essentially reflects one pattern: a single story of "light" construction, surrounded by an apron of asphalt. Buildings feature concrete, or concrete block walls, creating austere and "generic" images. Revised :100;! 2007, 2006 ComprehenSive Plan Amendment VII-3 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Another prevalent image of the area is the vast amount of surface parking. The availability of parking is essential to the current type of retail found in Federal Way. City Center businesses serve regional as well as local markets, and are heavily oriented to access by automobile. Actual building footprints relative to total parcel areas are quite small; the majority of most parcels are used to provide surface parking, This parking is often underutilized, except during the peak holiday season., The current network of collectors and arterials, and the disjointed over-sized block grids within the existing commercial area, contributes to significant traffic congestion. The character of the street environment is also unfriendly to pedestrians in many locations, with few amenities such as landscaping, lighting, benches, etc. In addition, in many locations the pedestrian experience is made even less attractive as little more than parking lots or blank walls line the sidewalks, Recent improvements throughout the City Center, most notably along South 320lh Street, have improved the character of some streetscapes with handsome streetlights and trees. Continuation of these improvements along Pacific Highway South and elsewhere throughout the City Center will do much to improve the overall character of the City Center streetscapes. Similarly, the extensive abatement of unattractive, out-of-scale signage, achieved over the past five years, has also led to a more attractive, human-scale streetscape. The City Center does not contain a significant residential population. Pockets of residential housing exist between South 31 th and 316th Streets, and SR-99 and 1-5. Figure VII-I (page 5) depicts an aerial view of the City Center area looking south from the northwest comer of the City Center boundaries. Physical Conditions Land Use Most of the study area is currently developed and consequently, most new development in this area will displace existing low intensity uses. Buildings are dispersed throughout the area and lack pedestrian connections to each other and public rights-of-way. Current land use patterns favor auto-oriented commercial activity. The primary use in the City Center area is retail/service, followed by lodging, office, and residential. SeaTac Mall The Commons is the "signature" development in the area. Table VII-I (page 5) lists the amount of land use development by gross floor area within the City Center planning area as of January 2002. Public and civic uses are scarce, with only four publicly owned non-park sites (the Federal Way School District's bus barn site n0fth of II th Place South and South 320111 Street; Truman High School, northwest of South 3171h Street and 281h Avenue South; King County Library, 848 South 320lh Street; and the School District's Administrative Offices, 31405 Pacific Highway South).

Private green spaces, plazas and public meeting spaces are few. Steel Lake Park to the northeast and Celebration Park to the southwest are on the perimeter of the City Center. Even though these parks are within walking distance of the City Center, they also serve as regional facilities in addition to serving local needs. Civic Buildings and Municipal Facilities Similarly, the City Center lacks significant civic or municipal facilities, with only the Public Library near the periphery of the City Center. The next closest facility is the City of Federal Way Parks Department's Steel Lake Annex and Maintenance Facility near South 31th Street and 28th Avenue South. Klahanee Senior/ Community Center and City Hall are located a few miles southwest of the City Center at 3390 19th A venue South and 33530 1 Sl Way South, respectively. Circulation Roadways - A key element defining mobility within the City Center planning area is the enormous size of its blocks. Most U.S, downtowns have blocks ranging from 250 to 500 feet on a side; block lengths in Federal Way are several times that Because of the "superblock" configuration, motorists drive between and within parking areas serving City Center developments to avoid congestion along City streets and pedestrian circulation is discouraged. Access to the area is provided by two principal arterial routes: South 320th Street (which runs east/west and connects to 1-5), and SR-99 (which runs north/south). An inefficient hierarchy of streets feed these arterial roadways. The area lacks a system of minor arterial and smaller collector streets that could diffuse traffic efficiently away from these two principal arterials. The irregular spacing of traffic signals also adds to congestion. As such, the accessibility provided by the juncture of these routes, -initially attractive to area residents, has been lost due to growth in traffic. Transit Service - Eighteen transit and dial a ride routes radiate from the City Center. However, service to the entire City Center is not the primary focus, especially during the peak periods of the day as there are only 12 all day routes. A regional park and ride lot, located southwest ofI-5 and south of South 320lh Street, and the Federal Way Transit Center which opened in early 2006 on a seven-acre site located at the southwest comer of South 316lh Street and 23rd A venue South at the northeast edge of Federal Way's City Center, generate most of the area's transit ridership during peak periods of the day. King County/METRO, Sound Transit, and Pierce Transit serve HH-s both of these sites. Congestion on 15, South 320m Street, and SR 99 demonstrates the need for an enhanced transit system. However, the existing 10\'-/ intensity and dispersed land use patterns will not support significant increases in transit service. The area also lacks transit facilities such as bus pullouts and waiting areas, and a pedestrian net'.vorlc to safe and direct access from transit stops. The proposed 31 ih direct access ramp for Sound Transit's Federal Way Transit Center, and the Sound Transit Federal Way Transit Center both open in Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-6 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center early 2006 will have improveg regional transit speed and reliability because transit will be ~ able to access the city center without l:l5ffi.g having to use the congested I-5/320lh interchange. It-will The 317th direct access ramp also benefit~ carpools and vanpools. Pedestrian Environment and Bicycle Facilities - A 1992 inventory of existing sidewalks within the City (see page V -22 of the Community Profile, Feb. 1993) revealed a deficiency of pedestrian facilities Citywide. The central core was high I ighted as one of the areas that lacked an adequate pedestrian network. For example, most of SR 99 and portions of 324lh Street and 23rd A venue South lacked sidewalks. A majority of walking that does take place in the study area occurs within malls and along storefronts of shopping center strips. Sidewalks connecting storefronts to public walkways are lacking. The few sidewalks that did exist were narrow, devoid of trees, and interrupted by numerous curb cuts. Crossing wide, busy streets such as South 320lh Street and SR-99 can also be intimidating. There are few places to sit and enjoy pleasant weather, meet friends, or have lunch outside. The current pedestrian environment is unfriendly and unappealing. The division that exists between pedestrians and auto areas is not conducive to establishing the active street life desired in a City Center. Bicyclists have even fewer facilities to choose from. City streets lack striping or signage for bike riders who must share the road with heavy volumes of traffic. Once bicyclists reach the area, they become frustrated by the lack of safe storage facilities for their vehicles. Covered bike parking will be provided at Sound Transit's Federal Way Transit Center. Residential The City Center contains approximately 892 units of housing (listed in Table VII-I), located primarily in the area east of SR-99, south of South 312lh Street, north of South 316th Street, and west of 28lh A venue South. Other residential neighborhoods surround the City Center area, such as the pockets of multi-family housing west of South II th Place and south of South 320lh Street. There are also single-family neighborhoods west of Highway 99 and north of the South 312lh Street corridor. While these neighborhoods are not located immediately within the City Center, they are located conveniently within walking, bicycling, or vehicular distance. They differ greatly in character and type. In 1997, two senior housing projects were constructed in the City Center Frame area. These projects are located south of South 3l2lh Street and east of 23rd Avenue South, adjacent to the southern portion of Steel Lake Park. The two projects, Meridian! Willamette Court and Woodmark at Steel Lake, consist ofJOO and 85 living units respectively. The residents of these developments have easy access to several shopping opportunities and services in the City Center area. It is important to note that no new residential construction has occurred in the City CeAter since that time. In an effort to stimulate additional multi-family development in the City Center, the City adopted a ten-year exemption from property taxes for multi-family development in February 2003. In addition, the City adopted a Planned Action SEPA in September 2006 for a sub-area of the City Center, more specifically described as an area bounded on the Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-? FWCP - Chapter Seven. City Center north by South 31 t" Street, on the south by South 324th Street, on the west by Pacific Highway South, and on the east by 231'd Avenue South (Map VIl-2A). The planned action designation applies to proposed residential, retail, office, hotel, civic, and structured parking development falling within the development envelope analyzed in this EIS, The Planned Action SEP A and increased heights for mixed-use buildings containing multi- unit housing in the City Center Core and City Center Frame adopted in February 2006 is expected to encourage construction of multi-unit housing in the City Center area. Infrastructure Most of the existing facilities and infrastructure were inherited from King County. In 1998, the City adopted new streetscape guidelines related to roadway profiles, streetlights, sidewalk widths, and street trees. In 1999, South 312th Street between Pacific Highway South and 23rd Avenue South was widened to five lanes, and new sidewalks, street lighting, and street trees were added, as well as traffic signals at 20th Avenue South and 23rd Avenue South. In 2001, South 320th Street was improved with streetscape elements between 11th Place South and 30th Avenue South. In 2002, the remainder of South 320th Street also was improved and 23rd Avenue South was widened to five lanes with 'sidewalks and streetscape elements. New traffic signals at South 3 16th, South 31 th, and South 322nd Streets were installed. In 2003, construction will begin on \videning Paoifio Highway South to add high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, sidewalks, and streetscape elements. Pacific Highway HaY Lanes, Phase I constructed in 2002-2004, widened Pacific Highway South with an HaY lane in each direction from South 31ih to South 324th. The proiect also added sidewalks, center medians, landscapin~, and utility undergrounding. This proiect was the City's first of five to improve the Pacific Highway/International Boulevard corridor and was a continuation of the revitalization of the City Center. 7.2 VISION S1 A1EMEN1 By the end of the comprehensive planning horizon, the Federal Way City Center will have evolved into the cultural, social, and economic center of the City and fulfilled its role as one of Puget Sound's regional network of urban centers. This role will be reinforced by pedestrian-oriented streetscapes; an efficient multi-modal transportation system; livable and affordable housing; increased retail, service, and office development in a compact area; a network of public spaces and parks; superior urban design; and a safe, essential, and vibrant street life. The City Center is responsive to th~ needs of the City's residents. In addition to general services that draw people from outside the region, such as retail, office, and hotel uses, the City Center is the primary commercial area providing local goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods, and to residents and employees within the center area. Revised ~ 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-8 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Private development and City initiated actions will have resulted in a balanced transportation network that accommodates automobiles, public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and integrated parking. Pedestrian and bicycle circulation is emphasized along with other travel modes. The downtown urban fabric includes smaller blocks, lending itself to efficient and pleasant travel. Concentrated development allows a significant number of jobs and residences to be located within close proximity to transit and a High Capacity Transit Station (HeT), thus, reducing dependency on the ,automobile and improving pedestrian mobility. The regional HCT system may begin with regional express bus service tHat would evolve to fixed guide-way systems, such as light rail or monorail, as ridership dictates and funding allows. Direct access to a regional transit system links the City Center to Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Bellevue, SeaTac International Airport, and other regional and local destinations. The diversity of housing opportunities now includes high-rise residential buildings, which help to meet a significant portion of the community's housing needs. City Center residents walk or take transit to shop, work, and recreate. Community facilities and services, public spaces, parks, and trails complement the variety of housing and provide places for residents to come together as a community. A central gathering place for the community, the City Center is where the whole community can congregate and celebrate. Civic and cultural facilities, in addition to a park and open-space system, meet the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. These amenities connect to the Citywide and regional system of open spaces, parks, and trails. Public and private projects contain such design elements as fountains, sculptures, and unique landscaping. The quality of urban design for all developments, including streets, buildings, and landscaping, is high and contributes to an improved quality of life. Public buildings and spaces also set a high standard for design and compatibility with adjoining uses. Goals for the City Center Chapter The goals and policies of the City Center chapter are derived from those of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The FWCP addresses in greater detail the framework of regional plans and legislation which direct planning in Federal Way. It also discusses the basic policies addressing housing, parks, recreation, and commercial development. This chapter builds on these policies, and provides specific recommendations and actions necessary to facilitate the development of the City Center. The following goals provide overall direction to policy makers and community members when making choices about growth and development within Federal Way's City Center. Additional goals and policies are located throughout this chapter, providing specific direction on other matters discussed. No set of goals or policies can address all potential issues that may arise in the course of implementing the FWCP. Therefore, while these are fundamental to the FWCP, they are not immutable and may need to be revised as situations warrant. Revised 2002 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-9 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Goals CCG 1 Create an identifiable City Center that serves as the social, cultural, and economic focus of the City. Define a City Center with distinct boundaries, unique building types, and special features. CCG2 Attract a regional market for high quality office and retail uses which increases employment opportunities, adds to the City's tax base, and establishes Federal Way's City Center as an economic leader in the South King County region. CCG3 Connect the City Center to a convenient regional transit system. Provide service between centers and nearby areas by an efficient, transit-oriented, ard multi-modal transportation system. CCG4 Foster distinct districts within the City Center, defining the roles and characteristics of each such districl.

CCG 12 Protect and enhance natural fealures of the area. Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-10 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center 7.3 THE LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT FOR THE CITY CENTER The Concept Plan The concept is to redevelop the City Center and create a compact urban community and vibrant center of activity. The crux of the strategy is to promote a compact urban center with connections between where we live, work, and recreate, and create an urban environment that is amenable to walking, bicycling, and transit. The concept, a result of the citizen participation process called CityShape (held in 1992-93), implements the community's goals outlined in Section 7.2. In summary, the concept is to: · Establish a City Center to support HCT by locating residents and workers within convenient walking distance of HCT. · Make efficient use of existing capital improvements by concentrating higher intensity land uses in the City Center, · Encourage a mix of compatible uses where housing coexists adjacent to, above, or near commercial developments. · Create a dense residential community within walking and bicycling distance of the core. · Improve auto circulation in the City Center by completing the proposed street grid, creating smaller blocks, and providing opportunities for through traffic to travel around rather than through the core, thus minimizing the impact of future growth on Citywide traffic patterns and congestion. · Reduce impact of parking by encouraging structured parking, allowing reduced parking ratios, shared parking, and other innovative and creative parking solutions, as well as implementing guidelines that enhance appearance. - · Create pedestrian and bicycle connections throughout the City Center and to surrounding neighborhoods. Provide a safe and inviting environment for pedestrians and bicyclists with direct connections between activities and transit facilities. Continue to develop and/or reconstruct streets to include sidewalks, street trees, benches, garbage receptacles, screening of parking areas, etc. · Create high amenity pedestrian-friendly corridors through the core, linked to a transit center and providing an attractive civic focus to SeaTao Mall the Commons. Revised;WW 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII.ll FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center . Provide a civic focus to create a sense of identity for all residents. Develop municipal and cultural facilities within the City Center core area. . Develop public spaces in the City Center, particularly the core area. Enhance the City Center with a network of public spaces and parks connected to the Citywide and regional system of open spaces, parks, and trails. Encourage gathering spaces in pri vate development. Map VII-3 applies the principles described above. The figure depicts the City Center core area between SR-99 and 1-5 and South 316th/31 ih and South 320th and 324th Streets. The City Center core area contains a concentration of higher-density, commercial, residential, and mixed-use development, as well as civic, social and cultural uses. The City Center frame area surrounds the core along the west and north edges and provides a full complement of commercial, residential, and mixed-use development at somewhat lower densities to support the core. It also provides a transition to surrounding single-family neighborhoods. High capacity transit runs through the middle of the City Center, and pedestrian pathways connect the HCT station with residential areas, future civic spaces, and the SeaTac Mall Commons_ land Use Designations This section expands on the land use concepts described previously. The City Center chapter contains two different land use designations, each with its own distinctive characteristics, intended to guide the evolution of the City Center, see Map VII-4. The City Center core and frame area designations give form to the concepts summarized in section 7.3. These land use designations direct the location and extent of growth, and will reshape the nature of development, transforming the area into a compact, vibrant City Center. City Center Core Area For the last 20 years or so, lower-density shopping mall areas at the edge of the nation's larger cities have gradually been redeveloped and transformed into more dense urban centers, emulating the development patterns and sense of place of more traditional downtowns. This transformation, to an area with a unique character and improved image, is proposed for the core area, The intent of the core area land use designation is to create a higher-density mixed-use "center" for Federal Way, and become an urban center as envisioned.in VISION 2020 and the CWpp, The CityShape vision called for concentrating growth in an area where sufficient infrastructure capacity exists, or where such capacity can be provided efCiciently. The infrastructure within the City Center, specifically the core area, is designed to handle the highest levels of demand within Federal Way. By orienting new growth around this investment, the existing capacity can be utilized to its fullest extent. Revised 2002 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-12 FWCP - Chapler Seven, City Center The core area designation also encourages the concentration of new development to help reduce development pressure in other areas of Federal Way. T.he core area land use designation encourages a greater di versity of uses within mixed- use types of development. Traditional city centers are places where diverse office, retail, and government uses are concentrated, as well as cultural and civic facilities, community services, and housing. Many cities are advocating mixed-use development for a number of reasons. These include: . Providing new housing, increasing the range of housing choices, and cutting down on automobile dependency by bringing work places and residences into close proximity; . Providing retail and service needs in close proximity to residential and employment areas; and, . Improving feasibility of a development project. The proximity of urban services makes housing projects more desirable and a nearby source of consumers help make a commercial project more profitable. Residents choose to live in higher-density housing for a variety of reasons. First, higher- density is frequently less expensive than single-family housing. Second, the convenience and proximity to work, needed services, and cultural activities is very desirable for many people. Finally, many people find that they do not need a large, single-family detached house. Given their lifestyle, they appreciate the low maintenance and security of higher- density living. There is a mutually supportive relationship between higher-density residential uses and commercial activities. The presence of housing also activates City Center streets, day and night. Concentrating growth in a specific area also supports investment in transit, including a regional HCT system. Existing low-density development does not generate sufficient levels of demand to optimize the return on investment in transit. Promoting higher- density uses within walking distance of transit facilities wiII improve the viability of this significant infrastructure investment. Additionally, concentrating the highest density of development in the core, where a significant number of jobs and residences will be within walking distance of a transit station, helps reduce dependency on the automobile and improve pedestrian mobility. The core area emphasizes pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility, The core area will be less auto-oriented than the frame area, but it will not be unfriendly to the use of automobiles. The City Center core area will also be the central gathering place for the cornmunity-a place where the whole community can congregate and celebrate. Accordingly, the core should include an outdoor square, park, or commons, with public amenities such as fountains, sculptures, and unique landscaping. Revised :100:12007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VlI.13 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Other civic amenities or buildings, including Municipal Facilities and/or a performing arts center, could be grouped around this City Center square (Figure VII-2). Figure VII-2 Potential Core Area Development Goals & Policies That Promote the Concentration of New Development in the City Center Core Area Goal CCG13 Focus new growth, with resultant increasing demands for infrastructure and transportation, in the City Center, specifically the core area. Allow for higher intensity uses for efficient use of land. Policies CCPl Support the concentration of uses within the core area to create a financial, retail, business, civic, and cultural hub of Federal Way. CCP2 Develop an attractive City Center that will attract quality development. CCP3 Continue to support land use regulations that allow the higher intensity development expected over the ne~t 15 to 30 years. Revised 2002 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-14 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center CCP4 Continue to develop a City Center that is the primary commercial area providing local goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods and region, and to residents and employees within the center. CCPS Complete an area wide environmental impaot statement and Utilize the SEP A Planned Action and provide streamlined permit review in the City Center to accelerate changes to the core area. CCP6 Work with urban service providers to ensure sufficient capacity is available for development. CCP7 Allow for a variety of uses and mixed-use development within buildings, or complexes. Ensure that mixed-use development complements and enhances the character of the surrounding residential and commercial areas. CCP8 Provide incentives to encourage residential development in City Center.,core area. CCP9 Promote the siting of cultural and civic uses within the City Center core. The City should always consider City Center Core sites in siting analyses and decisions regarding potential civic and cultural uses that it develops. In addition, incentives should be explored that could attract cultural and civic uses over which the City does not have direct control. City Center Frame Area Establishing a City Center frame area provides a zone for dense mixed-use development that surrounds and supports the core. It also provides a transition between high-activity areas in the core area and less dense neighborhoods outside of the frame. ' The frame area allows uses that are similar to those in the core area, but are of lower- density and intensity. Together, the core and frame areas are complementary. Encouraging multiple unit housing mixed with business and commercial use will help Federal Way meet regional land use goals. This is accomplished by encouraging the development of housing close to employment and transportation centers. To help transform the character of this land use designation, regulatory and/or financial incentives should be explored in exchange for amenities that contribute to a more pedestrian oriented environment (Figure VII-3). Revised :1002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-15 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Figure Vll-3 Potential Frame Area Development Goals & Policies That Promote New Commercial, Residential, and Mixed-Use Development in the City Center Frame Area Goal CCGI4 Allow increased development of commercial uses while increasing housing opportunities and diversity of housing types. Policies CCPIO Continue to develop land use regulations that encourage the frame area to accommodate higher-density residential uses accompanied by residentially oriented retail and service uses. CCPII Continue to provide amenities such as community services, parks, and public spaces to meet residential needs. CCP12 Continue to ensure effective transitions between frame area development and nearby lower-intensity development. Revised :100:12007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-16 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Circulation Federal Way's City Center chapter is designed in accordance with VISION 2020 and CWPP related to mobility. Although regional travel trends continue to show more cars on the road, more trips per person, and increases in the number of people driving alone, the emphasis of the FWCP is to promote a variety of travel options. The City will focus both on transportation improvements as well as influencing individual travel choices by increasing the attractiveness of alternatives to the automobile. Encouraging growth in a compact, well defined City Center will help promote bicycling, walking, and transit use, as well as encouraging shorter automobile trips. The City Center will be connected to other regional urban centers and areas of the City by a multimodal transportation system, including a fast and convenient regional transit system. In order to function efficiently, mobility in the City Center must be enhanced by continuing to make transportation improvements. The City should focus transportation investments in the City Center to support transit and pedestrian-oriented land use patterns. These improvements should include: a smaller street grid, bicycle routes, public sidewalks and pedestrian pathways, and clear and identifiable transit routes. These transportation improvements will also help meet City Center mobility needs in the event a HCT system is not developed. Goal to Improve Overall Circulation Goal CCG15 Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians. bicyclists, automobiles. and integrated parking. ' Automobile Circulation The current network of collector roads and arterials, the disjointed grid, and large block sizes contribute to significant traffic congestion within the City Center. The solution is ,not necessarily to construct wider roads. Streets become less efficient as the numbers of lanes increases, Building new streets versus widening existing streets is more cost effective, yields greater capacity, and will have less impact on the City Center. Automobiles are likely to continue as a dominant mode of transportation. A comprehensive network of collector arterials and other streets must be developed to distribute this traffic and create more driving choices. To the extent possible, the City should connect streets to form a tighter grid within the City Center, especially in the core, by negotiating new public rights-of-way and building new streets, This "interconnectivity" serves to shorten and disperse trips, and consequently reduce travel on existing congested arterials. Map VII-5 indicates' the proposed street network changes. Additionally, alternatives to auto travel such Revised m2 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-17 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center as van and car pools, transit, pedestrian corridors, and bicycle paths should also be emphasized. Goals and Policies to Improve Automobile Circulation and Reduce Usage Goal CCG 16 Improve the flow of vehicular traffic through the City Center and minimize increases in congestion. Policies CCP14 Improve traffic flow around and through the City Center by extending the street network, creating smaller blocks, and completing the ring road along the west edge of the City Center. CCP1S Reduce congestion by supporting the Commute Trip Reduction Act. Develop commuting alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, including transit, walking, and bicycling. CCP16 The City's LOS standard shall be based on average person-delay to allow lower LOS for single-occupant vehicles and support pedestrian-friendly designs and HOV treatment. Pedestrian/Bicycle Connections Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is a vital part of the future City Center circulation system. Improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists should support increases in transit services and promote the development of the City Center. This chapter addresses the lack of pedestrian amenities and pathways by recommending changes to the development patterns and transforming the character of the streetscape. As the street system is redeveloped to better accommodate the needs 0 f pedestrians and bicyclists, a network of facilities for people on foot and bikes will be established such as already exists for people in cars. Reducing the size of the street grid as proposed, improving auto circulation, and creating pedestrian paths through larger parcels is critical to establishing walking patterns that reduce dependency on the automobile. As individual sites are designed and developed to be more pedestrian friendly, and as the City provides improved pedestrian linkages, the pedestrian system will handle an increasing share of trips. As such, the City adopted special street design standards for the City Center in 1998. These include 12-foot sidewalks with street trees and pedestrian-scale street lighting. As streets are constructed, additional amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, and landscaped comer treatments may be added. Bike lanes will also be provided in a grid tighter than the rest of the City on through streets that avoid multiple turn-lane conflicts. Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-18 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center In addition to adding public sidewalks and creating mid-block pathways, Map VII-6 depicts three principal pedestrian connections to improve pedestrian circulation, The first is developing connections between the HCT station, adjoining bus transfer facilities, and other uses, The pedestrian and bicycle system is essential to other travel modes, particularly transit. Virtually all transit trips begin and end as pedestrian trips on public rights-of-way. All buildings within proximity to these areas should be required to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement. The second goal is to establish pedestrian and bicycle connections to SeaTao Mall the Commons, the City's largest generator of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Linkages between the proposed transit station and the SeaTac Mall Commons are important. Unfortunately, South 320th Street is wide, congested, and presents a significant barrier to this connection. Providing an at-grade pedestrian and bicycle crossing could increase congestion and vehicular and pedestrianlbicycle conflicts. To facilitate this connection, and encourage redevelopment of existing parking areas, this chapter proposes the continued consideration of a: pedestrian bridge spanning South 320111 Street. The pedestrian over-pass would create a major connection between two areas in the City Center that have a high potential for new development and redevelopment. The third goal is to connect the City Center to nearby neighborhoods and parks. Residential neighborhoods of varying densities surround the Ci ty Center. Steel Lake and Celebration Parks are located to the northeast and southwest of the City Center, respectively. Both pedestrian and bicycle trails should extend to these residential neighborhoods and parks. Roads extending to these areas should emphasize the pedestrian connection by including additional pedestrian amenities. In order to provide good'pedestrian connectivity across multi-lane arterials such as South 320lh Street and Pacific Highway South, crossings should be provided more closely than the existing ~-mile spacing of traffic signals. Unsignalized pedestrian crossings would not be very safe, yet closer spacing of traffic signals make two-way signal coordination impossible to achieve, creating much more congestion and worsening safety and air quality. These conflicting needs must be resolved through the design process as these streets are reconstructed. Policies to Improve Pedestrian Connections Goal CCG 17 Promote and facilitate the effective use of non-motorized transportation. Create a safe, efficient, and enjoyable pedestrian and bicycle system. Revised 2002 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-19 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Policies CCP17 Emphasize pedestrian and bicycle circulation, as well as other travel modes in all aspects of developing the City Center transportation system. Include public sidewalks, street trees, and other pedestrian amenities for streets. CCP18 Continue to enforce and refine local zoning codes, site planning requirements, and street design standards, as necessary, to establish a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment. CCP19 Encourage new development to include active ground floor uses such as shops, community services, office, and housing units. Provide pedestrian connections between adjacent buildings where possible to provide for streetscape continuity. CCP20 Develop clear and safe pedestrian paths through large parcels to enhance the pedestrian network. CCP21 Continue to site and screen parking lots to minimize impact on the pedestri'an environment. CCP22 Connect the main entry of buildings to public sidewalks by a clear, identifiable walkway. CCP23 Encourage transit use by improving pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the existing and future transit system, and by improving the security and utility of park-and-ride lots and bus stops. CCP24 Establish clear and well marked pedestrian crossings to reach transit facilities and other uses at a maximum spacing of 660 feet. CCP25 Connect Celebration Park and Steel Lake Park via a pedestrianlbicycle pathway bisecting the City Center. Orient buildings, urban open spaces, plazas, etc" to pathways where feasible. CCP26 Continue to improve the appearance of, and pedestrianlbicycle circulation along, South 320th Street and Pacific Highway South. Transit Efficient, convenient, and reliable transit is important to the FWCC's emphasis to reduce auto dependency through the creation of viable travel options. Transit will play an important role in the development of the City Center and the region as a whole. A multi- modal system that includes transit will bring commuters and shoppers to and from other areas of Federal Way and adjacent communities. A high capacity transit system with a principal stop in the core area will distribute people regionally and connect to other bus based transit systems. Transit stops throughout the center will help shoppers, employees, Revised 200:12007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII.20 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center and residents to circulate around the City Center without the need to get into their cars. Encouraging a mix of land uses and densities at major transit access points will help meet passenger needs and reduce vehicle trips. High Capacity Transit The Federal Way Transit Center opened in early 2006, on a seven-acre site located at the southwest corner of South 316th Street and 23rd Avenue South, at the northeast edge of Federal Way's City Center. The transit center is a regional bus transit facility supporting Sound Transit, King County METRO, and Pierce Transit. It includes a five-level structured parking garage with 1,200 parking spaces, a pedestrian bridge between the transit decks and parking garage, bicycle storage, and shelters for waiting passengers. Tne Transit Center is considered by the City as a maior anchor to the urban center designation in the Vision 2020 plan adopted by the PSRC. The proiect also includes a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) direct-access ramp connecting the transit center to Interstate-5 via South 31 th Street. In addition, approximately one acre of the transit center site has been set aside for future transit-oriented development consistent with the comprehensive plan vision for the City Center. Sound Transit is working with Puget Sound citizens and City representatives to develop a HCT network linking Everett, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, and communities between them. Four HCT Three light rail stations are proposed in Federal Way, including one in the City Center core area. Map VII-7 depicts the approximate HCT alignment and the location of the City Center recently constructed transit station and the direct access ramp connecting 1-5 and the transit station. The Federal Way Transit Center is currently located at the Federal Way Parle & Ride. At the time of the adoption of the 1995 FWCP, the City Center chapter proposed a neVi location at South 3 12tll Street and 20tll ^ venue South. The primary driver for this location ',vas the assumption that light rail between Seattle and Tacoma ..vould follow SR 99. Since adoption of the plan, conditions have changed and discussion of alternate locations has emerged. Sound Transit's Sound Move Initiative allocated $1 Million for the construction of a nev,,' Transit Center, in coordination "'lith the enhancement and/or relocation of the existing Transit Center and direct access ramps. The Transit Center is considered by the City as a major anchor to the urban center designation in the Vision 2020 plan adopted by the PSRC. The location of the Transit Center should be surrounded by property that has potential to redevelop into transit supportive uses, thus assisting to ensure both the success of the Transit Center itself and the economic vitality of the City Center. Based on these considerations, the Transit Center site has been selected. The site is located on the block bounded by 23F<l and 21 51 Avenues South, to the south of South 316tll ~ Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-21 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center The FWCP does not depend solely on the development of a HCT system. The proposed system is one of several transportation options, While HCT will help regional and local transportation needs, other modes will continue to playa vital role. Many of the characteristics that are desired within the City Center, and support HCT, also support other modes such as van/car pooling, busing, bicycling, and walking. In order +to encourage transit use, the high capacity transit station sOOHM provide~ an inviting environment with comfortable pedestrian facilities, including shelter for waiting areas, convenient passenger drop-off zones, safe lighting, and street furniture. Conveniences like telephones, automatic teller machines, secure bicycle storage areas, and outdoor seating areas are also important elements of the statiOl'! design. Provisions for vendors, small cafes, and carts will make outdoor spaces livelier. Stores adjoining the station can take advantage of the concentrations of people by specializing in goods and services needed by commuters such as dry cleaning, videos, news kiosks, and day care. Federal Way's City Center station wtll--be ~ oriented principally to pedestrians and those arriving by other forms of transit. Providing for pedestrian/bicycle accessibility between surrounding properties, street network, general vicinity, park & ride lots, and the HCT is essential. Policies to Guide Transit Planning and Establish a City Center High Capacity Transit Station Goal CCG 18 Work with the transit providers to develop a detailed transit plan for the City Center.

CCP33 CCP32 Integrate bicycle and pedestrian facilities with and connect to high capacity transit facilities during right-of-way acquisition, facility design, and optional phases. Civic Buildings and Open Spaces Public buildings including community centers, libraries, city hall, performing arts theaters, conference centers, and schools provide places for the community to meet, exchange ideas, and socialize. The City should take advantage of every opportunity to locate a variety of civic buildings in and around the City Center. This will occur over time, but it is necessary to establish a clear direction through public policy. A network of outdoor spaces for recreation, strolling, gathering, and dining will make the City Center a lively and attractive place to live, shop, and conduct business. Each type of space should serve a range of users and activities. Outdoor spaces should range from a major urban park that is the focal point for downtown, to pocket urban plazas for lunch time gathering by residents, visitors, and workers, Some spaces will be publicly built and maintained, others will be constructed along with private development. Privately developed gathering space is a major component of all City Centers: small parks and plazas are opportunities to enhance the urbanscape and image of the City Center. Courtyards, mews, and forecourts are ways to efficiently integrate open space to enhance a project. Visitors, shoppers, and employees often perceive these private spaces as public. The City should commit to assist in or provide incentives for, the development of plazas and parks that are open to the public, Map VII-8 proposes a central outdoor gathering place within the core area, such as a park, plaza, or square, which will become the focus of community activities in the core. Uses around the edges of this plaza, such as transit facilities and cafes, should be sited to generate activity throughout the day. The edges of the plaza should be well defined and landscaped to soften the hard surfaces of adjacent buildings and streets. This space should be physically and visually linked to the central pedestrian spine and transit center. Policies to Promote the Development of Civic Buildings and Urban Spaces Goal CCG19 Develop civic and culturalfacilities in addition to a public space and park system within the City Center to meet the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. These facilities and spaces should connect to the Citywide and regional system of public spaces, parks, and trails. Revised ~ 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-23 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Policies CCP34 Promote a diversity of public and privately funded recreational and cultural facilities throughout the City Center. Promote partnerships between the City and other agencies, private organizations, and individuals to develop and meet the needs of City Center and the general community for these types of facilities. CCP35 Emphasize locating civic and cultural facilities within the core. Planned public facilities could include Municipal Facilities, a library, or performing arts complex. CCP37 Acquire land necessary to provide a broad range of recreational opportunities throughout the City Center. Land bank parcels in the core area for future municipal facilities. Parking The continued use of expansive surface parking conflicts with the goal of redeveloping the City Center as a higher-density, mixed-use area that is pedestrian-friendly and supports the use of public transportation. It is, therefore, necessary to reduce the need for parking and encourage the provision of structured parking within these areas. Moreover, parking lots have high redevelopment potential. There are numerous examples of communities similar to Federal Way where former parking lots now contain multi- story developments. Large amounts of parking will be needed for many years to come. However, as development pressures and land values increase, surface parking becomes expensive and property owners will be able to afford the conversion from surface parking to structured parking. In the interim, the City should encourage site layouts that facilitate future redevelopment of parking areas. Private and public partnerships should examine the feasibility of constructing a parking structure in the downtown commercial core area, Figure VII-4 (page 21) is a conceptual illustration of the redevelopment of surface parking around a mall. Goal and Policies to Develop Alternatives to Existing Parking Development Goal CCG20 Encourage the development of a higher-density, mixed-use City Center that in tum will reduce the demand for large amounts of separate parking facilities for individual developments.

Policies CCP39 Encourage public and private parking structures (below or above ground) in lieu of surface parking in the core area. As redevelopment occurs and surface parking becomes increasingly constrained, consider a public/private partnership to develop structured parking in the downtown commercial core area. CCP40 The City will encourage the provision of structured parking. CCP41 Buffer parking areas to increase compatibility between surrounding uses. For larger lots, provide substantial landscaping, special lighting, and pedestrian walkways. CCP42 Site and orient buildings and parking to allow redevelopment of surface parking. Revised ~ 2007. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VIf.25 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center CCP43 Allow on-street parking to create a buffer between pedestrians and traffic depending on street characteristics and role within the City Center. On-street parking should be viewed as a component of the parking supply for the area. CCP44 Encourage shared parking between uses to maximize the use of available parking within the City Center. Streetscape To improve livability within the City Center area, the City must complete the street network and continue to develop streets in accord with its new street standards. The street grid must be well interconnected to make travel from one place to another as efficient as possible. The key to achieving this is to consider streets as a network that will serve pedestrians, bicycles, and transit, in addition to automobiles. In areas where increased density is proposed, existing streets must continue to be retrofitted with sidewalks, street trees, street furniture, and other amenities. Allowing on-street parking also creates a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. It also allows shoppers and visitors to park easily for short amounts of time. On-street parking should be permitted on City Center streets (where feasible) except during the morning and evening commuting hours when the extra lanes are needed to accommodate the extra high volumes of traffic. The Transportation chapter illustrates several street standards developed specifically for the City Center area. These streets will connect to other proposed and existing streets to complete a street grid. Street standards for existing and proposed streets within the City Center can be found in the second section of the Transportation chapter. These standards also incorporate the City Center Street Design Guidelines adopted by the City Council in May 1998. Policies to Improve the Street Network and Streetscape Character Goal CCG21 Maintain street designations that reinforce the unique characteristics of the City Center. Policies CCP45 Continue to acquire right-of-way, primarily through dedication from development, to complete and enhance the street network. CCP46 Continue to design streets as public spaces, with appropriate pedestrian amenities, trees, sidewalks, bicycle paths, transit services, street furniture, and trash receptacles. CCP47 Continue to construct streetscape improvements as an integral component of any roadway improvement. Revised:1OO2 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-26 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center CCP48 Encourage buildings to front or face public rights-of-way, providing clear paths from the sidewalk to all entries. CCP49 Only SR-99 and South 320'h Street shall be wider than five lanes, 7.4 IMPLEMENTATION Developing a City Center will require collaboration between government entities, citizens, and developers. Phasing and development of certain elements, such as high capacity transit, are outside the City's control. Therefore, an implementation program must be flexible. It must also be tied to general goals, policies, and strategies rather than a detailed, step-by-step list of actions. The implementation section consists of: · A set of strategies to guide implementing actions; · An illustration of how these strategies can be realized over time; and · A 15 year action plan. Implementation Strategies Specific strategies must be pursued in order to coordinate various elements and actions that are dependent upon one another. For'example, private development depends upon adequate infrastructure and amenities. Effective transit service depends upon supporting land use development to provide sufficient ridership. Residential communities require adequate transportation and services, a pedestrian friendly environment, open spaces, and jobs to foster a sense of community. In addition, much of the City Center's redevelopment is dependent upon market demands and development that is not projected until the later years ofthe FWCP's planning horizon, However, regulatory and infrastructure actions must be taken in the interim to prepare for these developments. The following strategies form the basis to achieve desired City Center development. · Maintain regulations to shape and influence new development (1-20 years). . Discourage low intensity auto oriented development in the core, Provide regulations and incentives to achieve a high intensity, mixed- use, pedestrian friendly development. Encourage residential development in the City Center frame area. Encourage high-density residential development in the City Center Core (Urban Center). Allow short-term investment in the frame area that will support long- term core development. . . . . Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-27 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center . Continue and enhance incentives to foster desired redevelopment in the City Center. . Maintain, and consider increasing, the City Center redevelopment fund. Consider appropriate public-private partnership opportunities as they present themselves to leverage desired development. Pursue appropriate redevelopment of City owned parcels. Continue to respond to opportunities for City acquisition and repositioning of key properties as they become available. . . . · Develop specific plans to construct needed street and infrastructure improvements (1-5 years). · Develop plans to define the location of street rights-of-way for completing the street grid and constructing transit facilities to provide predictability for developers. · Construct arterial improvements with associated landscaping and pedestrian amenities (timing set by capital facilities program). · Prepare a pedestrian and bicycle plan and construct sidewalks, pedestrian paths, mid-block connectors, and bicycle connections to all areas of the City Center and particularly to a transit center (ongoing effort). · Consider development of structured parking facilities as needed to support more intensive development and gradually convert the core into!! less auto dependent area. . Develop parking standards for the City Center Area. · Improve both local and regional transit service. . Begin ne'll transit service configuration by adding a center bus stop and route buses to it (begin immediately). Upgrade central bus stop to a transit center/station and enhance regional and local transit services to it (I 3 years). Develop a regional HCT station at the transit center (~ 20-25 years) . . . · Construct civic features, public spaces, parks, and other urban elements to create a true urban center and promote civic identity (5-10 years). . Develop major civic facilities in the City Center such as, Municipal Facilities, performing arts center, and recreation center, to generate social and economic activity (5-10 years). Add amenities to residential areas to build new neighborhoods (begin immediately as an incremental program). Include landscaping and pedestrian improvements in all street construction (incremental program tied to actual improvements). . . Revised:1OO2 2007, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-28 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center Phasing Transforming the existing downtown cammerci<;ll core area into the proposed City Center is an ambitious task. It requires a significant transformation from a low-density, automobile oriented, largely retail area to a higher intensity, more pedestrian oriented mixed-use area. The City Center chapter acknowledges that the core will take some time to develop. The City can facilitate these changes if a series of small steps are taken over time. This is especially true if the steps are consistent with the emerging economic, social, and demographic trends. As is the intent of this plan, the phasing scenario presented here accounts for the timing of market prajections and future actions, As noted above, the implementation strategy is keyed to projected trends and regional planning gaals. Its form and character, as envisioned in the chapter, are dramatically different from anything that now exists in the center. It will take some time fer the development community to redirect its energy and in'.'estffients ta produce buildings that respond to the directian af the chapter. The demand far mare intense development opportunities in the City Center is not prajected 'uithin the next few years. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in interest in redevelapment oppartunities within the City Center, both on the part of existing property owners and prospective developers. This interest indicates that new development is more likely in the near-term than at any time over the past several years. It will be important for the City to maintain its proactive efforts to attract, engage, and even at times provide incentives for new development in order to take advantage of the continuing mid-decade ecanomic boom, In the meantime, there may be some deferred maintenance, short-term, high-turnover tenancies, and even vacancies, as the development community begins ta assemble property for future redevelopment. The City should not encourage continued low-scale investment in this area, since it will need to be amortized over a decade or two and will delay accomplishment of preferred development. As regulations are applied to madest renovations, it should be possible to secure some basic improvements. However, the City should not expect full implementation of the vision for the City Center until owners are ready to install lang-term, major development projects. Figures VII-5 and VII-6 and Map VIl-9 (located at the end of the chapter) illustrate key steps in the evolution of Federal Way's City Center from 1995 through 2025. The illustrations are taken from a viewpoint just north of South 316lh Street between 20th Avenue South and SR-99. The drawings da not necessarily indicate recommendations for specific sites. The locations of the elements and the time frames may well vary. For example, Figure VII-6 shows an elevated light-rail line that may not be routed to Federal Way during this planning horizon. The drawings do illustrate how a viable City Center can evolve through several coordinated, incremental steps taken over time. The approximate dates are based an current market demand and funding projections. However, new trends, funding priorities, and development opportunities may emerge, changing the timing. An illustration of 1995 conditions is included for reference.

Activity Since 1995 Comprehensive Plan Adoption The following have been accomplished to implement goals and policies of the City Center chapter since the initial adoption of the FWCP: . In 1996, the City adopted code amendments for the City Center Core and Frame to allow for increased residential density and flexibility in siting residential uses. The City also adopted Community Design Guidelines intended to improve the appearance of non-residential buildings and to expand pedestrian circulation, public open space, and pedestrian amenities. · In 1998, in conjunction with King County/METRO, the City improved local and intercity transit which should result in more people having access to shopping and other opportunities in the City Center. Since that time, the City has worked with the transit providers to develop a detailed transit plan for the City Center, including siting and initial design work for the City Center Sound Transit station, as well as improvement of two park-and-ride lots. · In 1998, the City adopted policies to provide streetscape enhancements and development of standards for streetlights, street trees, and their placement and Revised ~ 2007,2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment VII-31 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center location in the City Center.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL SUBJECT: (File No. 06-105688-00-UP) Proposed aAndments to the text of Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, "Zoning," including Article VI, Division'-7, "Community Business (BC)"; Division 10, "Business Park (BP)/"Commercia1 Enterprise"(CE); and other related codes. Key changes include allowing a broad mix of retail, office and commercial uses in the new CE zon~, in addition to industrial and other uses previously allowed . in the BP zone; while, pursuant to LUTC direction, a.l1owing mixed-use residential/commercial as a transitional buffer adjacent to the existing single family-zoned residential neighborhood located south of South 356th Street; emphasizing mixed-use residential and related comp~tible uses in BC by increasing height and density requirements; redirecting intense uses such as bulk r~tail, truck stops, and adult entertainment, from BC to CE; restricting industrial uses on property that adjoins a low or medium density residential zone; increasing height for :'" motelslhotels in BC, CE, and correspondingly, in C<J-F; amending parking for medical/dental offices; and other amendments. .. POLICY QUESTION: Should the City approve text amendments to Chapter 22, "Zoning", regarding the Commercial Enterprise (CE)/previous Business Park (BP) and Community Business (Be) zoning districts, and other related codes, in order to implement and supp~rt the related comprehensive plan goals and policies as set forth in the 2006 comprehensive plan amendments (File No. 05-103609-00-UP) and the attached Draft Adoption Ordinance?

The proposed amendments are consistent with the approach reviewed and preferred by the LUTC at their November 20, 2006 meeting. The Planning .. Commission conducted public hearings on the prop9sal on March 14, 2007, March 21, 2007, and April 17, 2007. Following the hearing, the commissioners supported all aspects of the proposal, except not allowing any residential use in the CE zone, and three of the four commissioners present voted to recommend adoption. However, the motion failed by one vote, because the code requires a unanimous vote of the entire membership, or four votes, to pass an adoption recommendation. The commissioners also discussed, but did not concur on a modification to allow mixed'.:use residential in portions of the CE zone. Therefore, the proposal as recommended by staff was forwardl:(d to LUTC without the planning commission's formal recommendation.

This memo provides a brief background and summa~ of the proposal. For detailed information on the proposal, please refer to the attachments listed below. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION The planning commission public hearing on the proppsal was conducted on March 14, 2007; March 21, 2007; and April 18, 2007. At the close of the hearing, the commissioners deliberated, but did not reach consensus on a recommendation, in accordance with FWCC 22-539(a). Four of the total seven members were present, and three voted to recommend adoptiop of the proposal. However, the motion failed, as it lacked the code-required majority vote of the entire ~embership, or four votes. Also, the commissioners discussed, but did not concur, on a modification to allow mixed-use residential in portions of the CE zone. They also did not raise or discuss a recommenQation to not adopt the proposal. Therefore, per code, the proposal was forwarded to the City Council with no recommendation by the Planning Commission. WRITTEN COMMENTS Written comments and public testimony received on the proposal are attached. There are no unaddressed concerns, except those ofMr. Jesse Cherian, of ST Ffbrication, Inc. ST Fabrication is an existing steel fabrication plant on property that is proposed to be r~zoned from Business Park (BP) to Commercial Enterprise (CE). The property is located south of South 356th Street, west ofSR-161, east ofSR-99, and is bounded by RS-15.0 zoning to the south, Under the proposed amendments, ST Fabrication would become nonconforming as to its location, because industriall1ses would not be allowed on property that adjoins a low or medium density residential zone (including RS-15.0). Mr. Cherian would like to see mixed-use residential allowed on his property, such as is allowed in the Community Business zone, in order to facilitate his redevelopment concept. As noted abov<r., the Planning Commission discussed but did not agree on a modification to address this concern. Staff met with Mr. Cherian, discussed his options, and recommended that he apply for a comprehensive platt amendment and rezone, in order to allow a thorough staff analysis and recommendation on the l)nd use and other impacts related to his request. However, staff is prepared to respond to any Council direction on this matter. Doc. 1.0. 40583 / Residential uses are not allowed, consistent with the CE designation in the ~ , comprehensive plan. Although senior housing was previously allowed (in BP), this change will not make any existing senior housing projects nonconforming, so long as "Mitchell Place" is rezoned to multiple family residential as proposed; "Base height" for hotels/motels is increased from 40 feet (in the previous BP zone), to 45 feet., with the ability to modify height to 55 feet (the same as other uses were afforded in the previous BP zone). The base height increase will allow one or two more floors while not competing with hotel heights in th.e City Center, provided a corresponding height increase for hotels in City Center Frame is adopted; Minimum lot size only applies to industrial uses, which must have 1.5 acres, and the most intensive industrial uses, which must ~ave 5 acres. (The previous BP zone applied a 1.5- acre minimum lot size to all uses and ~ acres for heavy industrial.) Other site design and development regulations, such as setbacks and buffers were reduced, and made more use-specific;"except in all cases, the existing 20-foot setback and 30 foot height limit adjacent to resideptial zones is retained. COMMUNITY BUSINESS (BC) The BC zone continues to allow the e.xisting predominant mix of retail (including auto- oriented retail) and commercial uses, with increased emphasis on mixed-use commerc iallresidential; The "base" height for hotels/motels i~ increased from 35 feet to 45 feet, modifiable to 55 feet (same as for CE as noted above). Also, the "base" height for mixed use commerciallresidential is increased from 35 feet to 55 feet, and the modifiable height is increased from 55 feet to 65 feet. The density cap for mixed use cOIl11llerciallresidential is increased from 18 dwelling units per acres to 22 dwelling units per aCI;~, in proportion to the height increase. Theqecision process and criteria for height modifications are simplified and clarified. Truck stops, transfer stations, bulk re.tail, and adult entertainment are "redirected" to CE (resulting in no known nonconformin.g uses); "Manufacturing and production, limited" is a permitted use, as defined; the purpose of which is to allow compatible small-s~ale manufacturing and production operations, such as jewelry, ceramic goods, apparel, specialty foods, etc., in conjunction with retail sales; Vehicle and boat body repair and painting is permitted as a principal use, instead of only as an accessory to new car sales, as p"reviously required. ATTACHMENTS AND RELATED MATERIALS Attached are the Draft Adoption Ordinance; final draft code amendments (Exhibit A) Planning Commission Staff Report (Exhibit B), Written comJt1~nts (Exhibit C), and Planning Commission public hearing meeting minutes (Exhibit D). Doc. 1.0. 40583 PURPOSE OF AMENDIVIENTS The amendments will address City Council direction to make the Business Park (BP) zone more responsive to market conditions favoring retail and other development. Council direction is based on a consistently low demand for industrial development al}.d high demand for retail and other development, as reflected in a large number of requests to rezone BP-z~)Oed property so as to allow such uses. The 2005 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) Economic Development chapter noted this concern, and the July 2000 Market Analysis showed that the City is sigt:lificantly oversupplied with industrial-zoned property relative to its 20-year demand forecast. The r-'uget Sound Regional Council has reported a widespread shift away from the manufacturing sector; and toward the retail sales and services sector, and manufacturing uses tend to locate in regional centers such as the Kent Valley and the Port of Tacoma, and not in urbanized areas. The updated comprehensive plan policies will address these and related concerns, as noted below, and the policies will be implemented through the proposed zoning text amendments. POLICY DIRECTION FOR AMENDMENTS Following is a brief summary of the 2006 updated comprehensive plan "visions" for Commercial Enterprise (CE) and Community Business (Be), and QOw they are implemented in the proposed zoning. Commercial Enterprise (CE) is intended to capture demand for a diverse mix of retail, commercial, office, and industrial uses arrayed in high quality and well in!egrated developments. New uses would include retail sales services, restaurants, day care facilities, vehicle service stations, car washes, truck stops, bulk retail, and other compatible uses. Like the previous HP zone, CE would "remain" the sole industrial-use zone in the City. Residential uses are not contemplate~ in CE, due to incompatibility with industrial, bulk retail, adult entertainment, gambling, and other intensjve uses. Community Business (Be) continues to contemplate a broad array of uses, including general, specialty, and service retail (including auto-oriented retail); cOrtlmercial; office; and mixed-use commerciaVresidential. However, an increase emphasis is placed on mixed-use commercial/residential, and this is implemented through code amendments su~h as increasing height and density for these uses; emphasizing uses that are compatible with a residential population, and no longer allowing uses that are not compatible, such as truck stops, transfer stations, ~ulk retail, and adult entertainment. PRINCIPAL AMENDMENTS Summar~zed below are the key features of the amend'ments related to the Commercial Enterprise (CE) and Community Business (Be) zoning districts. Othe~ substantive amendments apply to other portions of the zoning code. Please refer to the draft ordinance and attachments for the complete proposal. .. COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE (CE) The CE zone will allow a broad range of retail sales, services, commercial, and office uses, that were not previously allow~d (in BP); including general and specialty retail, day care facilities, restaurants, bulk retail, vehicle sales/service/repair, vehicle service \: stations, car washes, truck stops, adult entertainment, and gambling uses; in addition to industrial and other uses that were previously allowed (in BP); .. "Industrial" uses, as defined (manufacturing, warehousing, fabrication, assembly, gravel batch plant, transfer station, etc.) are not allowed on property that adjoins a low or medium density resi.dential zone, to ensure appropriate use separation; Doc.

Findings. The City Council of tpe City of Federal Way makes the following findings with respect to the Proposal: A. The 2006 Federal Way Comprehensive Rlan (FWCP) establishes the vision, goals, and policies for the "Commercial Enterprise" (CE) desigrtftion, replacing the former "Business Park" (BP) City File No. 06-105688-o0-UP 2 designation, and envisioning CE as an area intended to ".. . capture the demand for a diverse mix of ... industrial, office, and retail sales and services, arranged in well integrated, high quality developments. . ." with residential use envisioned only as mixed~.use residential/commercial development where it appropriately serve as a transitional use and buffer al.ong single-family zoned residential neighborhoods; B. The 2006 Federal Way Comprehensive Pia, (FWCP) updates the vision, goals, and policies for the "Community Business (BC)" designation, in order to "allow a broad mix of uses, including general, .. specialty, and service retail; commercial; office, mixed use residential; compatible light manufacturing, ~ and supportive uses".. .in.. .low-rise to mid-rise, high quality development that includes a vibrant and compatible mix of well integrated and designed pedestrian-oriented and auto-oriented uses;" ~ C. The Proposal will implement the 2006 Fed.eral Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) in the City's zoning ordinance relative to the Commercial Enterprise (CE) and Community Business (BC) zoning districts, and related development regulations, by ~lOwing or encouraging uses and development that foster or promote the applicable goals and policies, ~nd by disallowing or discouraging those that do not; D. The Proposal will implement FWCP goals and policies for the CE zone by continuing to allow , t. industrial uses at appropriate locations within the OE zone and other appropriate uses previously allowed . ' in BP; while integrating a broad mix of retail sales, services, office, commercial, and other compatible .. uses, such as gas stations, car washes, and day care facilities; and certain intensive uses whose impacts are , . more compatible in CE (than in BC), includin,g bulk retail, trucks stops, transfer stations, adult entertainment, and gambling uses; and by allowing residential use only as mixed-use residential/commercial on properties that adjoin the existing single family-zoned residential neighborhood south of South 356th Street, between Pacific Highway South and 16th Avenue South, where it will serve as ... a transitional residential use co-located with commercial opportunities as envisioned for the CE zone; .. E. The Proposal will help implement FW~P goals and policies for the BC zone by generally . maintaining the existing mIX of allowed uses, I while further emphasizing mixed-use commercial/residential development through increased height and density and reduced open space .. City File No. 06-105688-00-UP 3 requirements for such uses; by allowing compatibl~, small-scale, retail-oriented manufacturing; and by ceasing to allow intensive uses such as truck stops, transfer stations, bulk retail, adult entertainment, and gambling, which are incompatible in areas characterited by residential and pedestrian scale uses; F. The Proposal will address concerns raised b~ the development community that a minor increase ~ in allowed height for motels/hotels in the CE and BC zones is necessary in order to facilitate such It. development; while a related height increase for hotels in the City Center-Frame will retain a competitive height advantage to help ensure taller hotels in the City Center as contemplated by the FWCP; G. Establishing a different and higher parkin,g ratio for medical/dental offices, than for general offices, will address on a city-wide basis, the consistent, higher parking demand for such uses, and will ~ improve marketability by ensuring adequate custom~r parking; H. Proposed amendments related to site and building design standards, such as minimum lot size, , ~ setbacks, community design guidelines, landscaping, outdoor storage, and height modification decision ~ criteria, will update and clarify zoning regulations and help ensure integration and compatibility between ~ uses and the quality of the built environment; and I.

A development plan identifying the significant trees that are proposed to be retained, removed, transplanted, or replaced, including a final report on percentage retained. (3) Each retained significant tree not located within perimeter landscaping may be credited as two trees for purposes of complying with the retention requirements of subsection (c)(I)a" provided the tree meets at least one of the following criteria: a. The tree is located in a grouping of at least five trees with canopies that touch or overlap; or b. The tree provides energy savings through winter wind protection or summer shading as a result of its location relative to proposed buildings; or' c, The tree belongs to a unique or unusual species of native or non-native tree not usually found locally, (4) Where it is not feasible to retain required significant trees due to site constraints including, but not limited to, topography, ingress/egress requirements, existing and proposed utility locations, trails, storm drainage improvements, a site specific tree plan, drawn to scale, shall be prepared, The tree plan shall show the precise location of all significant trees on the site, in relation to the proposed buildings, streets, parking areas, required landscaped areas, surface water facilities, and utilities. The director of community development shall review the plan in relation to the proposed development to ensure tree removal is the minimum amount necessary to comply with the proposed development and meet the purposes of this chapter. (5) When required significant trees cannot be retained (see subsection (f) of this section), significant trees that are removed shall be replaced with: a. Transplanted or retained on-site trees four-inch caliper or larger, which meet the definition of significant tree in all manner except size, and approved by the community development director, based upon the director's assessment of the location ofthe tree in relation to the proposed site development; or b. New evergreen trees that are a minimum 10 feet in height, or deciduous trees that are a minimum three-inch caliper, The number of replacement trees, combined with the number of retained significant trees, shall equal 25 percent of the amount of on-site significant trees which existed prior to development.

The city may, using process 1IJ, modify required yard, height, landscape and buffer and other site design and dimensional requirements for a proposed development that meets the following criteria: a. The proposed development will be consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan policies for this zone; and b. The proposed development will be consistent with applicable design guidelines; and c. The street, utilities, and other infrastructure in the area are adequate to support the proposed development. 2. Building height may be increased from the permitted outright height of 95 ft. to 115 ft. in exchange for providing publicly visible slreetscape amenities, as defined in 9 22- I 633, along the right-of-way; the siting and design of which shall be approved by the director. Building height may be increased from 115 ft. to 145 ft. in exchange for providing public on-site open space in accordance with 9 22-1633, or payment of an altemative fee-in-lieu of providing the on-site open space. Use of the altemative fee-in-lieu shall be at the director's discretion, based on factors such as conduciveness of the site or development plan to public open space, and existing or planned open space projects in the immediate vicinity of the site. The procedure and formula for calculating on-site open space and altemative fee-in-lieu shall be approved by the city council, adopted by the director of community development services, shall be on file in the city clerk's office, and shall be followed and have the full force and effect as if set forth in full in this article. Public on-site open space under this section shall be in addition to any other outdoor space or landscape area required by this Code. 3. No more than a five-foot building setback is allowed adjacent to principal pedestrian right(s)-of-way, as determined by the director, unless: it is precluded by existing site improvements, easements, topography, or other site constraints, as determined by the director; or to allow streetscape amenities, public on-site open space, or other architectural element(s) or improvements approved under Article XIX.

LIST OF EXHIBITS ____________m___________________________________________------------------- 29 (Note: Not all copies of all staff reports contain all exhibits. Exhibits and other information may be obtained upon request at the City of Federal Way Department of Community Development Services, 33325 8th Avenue South, PO Box 9718, Federal Way, WA 98063-9718) I. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The proposal is to amend the text of various sections of Federal Way City Code (FWCC), Chapter 22, "Zoning"; principally, the existing zoning districts of "Business Park (BP)" and "Community Business (BC)," along with other related amendments, The principal purpose of the amendments is to address City Council concerns with making zoning more responsive to market conditions favoring retail and other uses, such as the emerging development in the BC area of South 3481h Street along BP boundaries. The 2005 Federal Way Comprehensive Platt (FWCP) Economic Development Chapter stated, "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 the City limits, where cheaper land and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development." In addition, the City has received a high number of requests to rezone BP prov.erty, most often to BC. The July 2000 Market Analysis found that between 2000 and 2020, there would be demand for 11 to 13 percent ofthe available BP zoned land. At that time, the Market Analysis showed 203 acres of vacant land in the BP zone, which equated to a demand for 22 to 26 acres over a 20-year period. Economic forecasts by Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and others also show a significarit market shift away from manufacturing and toward retail sales and services. Staff presented optional approaches to the amendments to the Land UsefTransportation Committee (LUTC), and the approach preferred by LUTC is reflected in the proposed zoning amendments and related comprehensive plan amendments, The proposed amendments are designed to address emerging markets and development trends, while preserving existing "core" visions and generalized land uses, for the existing BC and BP zones, This includes renaming "Business Park (BP)" to "Commercial Enterprise (CE)"; remapping the boundaries of the two zones; revising the mix of allowed uses in accordance with updated visions; and using design and development standards to ensure integration and compatibility between diverse uses and the quality of the built environment. As a result of comprehensive plan map changes (Exhibit A), CE will encompass all of the existing BP-zoned properties, and in addition, the BC-zoned properties lying generally south of South 339th Street (excluding properties that will remain Be under pre-existing zoning agreements). The balance of the Be area, lying generally north of South 339111, will remain BC, with no other boundary changes. The proposed map changes will result in an increase of total BP area, from 253 acres to 456 acres (as CE); and decrease of BC area, from 467 acres to 260 acres. CE (BP) will continue to be the City's only zone allowing industrial uses, including all previous BP uses, In addition, it is intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, arid retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated, high quality developments, New proposed uses include unlimited retail sales and services, restaurants, offices, day care facilities, vehicle service stations, car washes, truck stops, bulklbig box retail, and adult entertainment. The proposed new uses will respond to emerging markets and integrate well other development, traffic, and employment patterns in this area. Housing is not contemplated for this designation; therefore, senior citizen housing is redirected to other zones. Also, industrial uses are restricted from property adjoining low and medium residential zones to ensure appropriate separation. Proposed Text Amendments to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning" . Planning Commission Staff Report File # 06-105688-00-UP / Doc rD 40034 Page I Community Business (BC), as updated, will continue to allow a broad mix of uses, including general, specialty, and service retail (including auto-oriented retail); commercial; office; and mixed-use commercial/residential. However, additional emphasis is placed on mixed-use commercial/residential, and incompatible uses, such as truck stops, transfer stations, bulklbig box retai:', and adult entertainment, are redirected to CE and no longer allowed in Be. Key height-related amendments include increasing the "base" (as-of-right) height for hotels/ motels in BC and CE, and correspondingly in CC-F; increasing base and modifiable height for mixed-use residential in BC, and updating the decision criteria for administrative height increases. II. RELATED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS (File No. OS-103609-00-UP) The 2006 comprehensive plan amendments will update the comprehensive plan maps, designations, goals, and policies relati ve to BP/CE and BC; and the zoning amendments will implement the comprehensive plan updates. The comprehensive plan updates are being processed separately but concurrently with the zoning amendments, As noted in Section I, the updated comprehensive plan maps and policies (Exhibit A) continue to acknowledge existing generalized land use patterns, while updating the mix of allowed uses, to emphasize residential and related uses in BC and to integrate retail and commercial uses into light industrial in BP/CE. (The environmental impacts of the proposed comprehensive plan re-designations and policy changes were analyzed under file number 05-10361O-00-SE.) III. PROCEDURAL SUMMARY Date Action July 17,2006 Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) ReviewIDirection on Optional Approaches to Amendments November 20, 2006 LUTC ReviewIDirection on Preferred Approach to Amendments December 20, 2006 Planning Commission Study Session on Proposed Amendments February 20, 2007 Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) Issued Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) March 5,2007 SEPA Comment Deadline March 14 & 21, 2007 Public Hearing before the Planning Commission March 19, 2007 SEP A appeal deadline Proposed Text Amendments to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning" Planning Commission Staff Report File # 06-105688-00-UP / Doc ID 40034 Page 2 State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA): As noted above, the City issued a Oetennination of Nonsignificance (DNS) on the proposed zoning text amendments (and related comprehensive plan amendments) on February 20,2007. No written comments were received by the deadline of March 5, 2007, and the DNS was finalized, subject to the March 19,2007, appeal deadline. Public Notice: Public notices of the City's environmental threshold determinations, and of the March 14,2007, and March 21,2007, Planning Commission Public Hearing on the proposed text amendments and related comprehensive plan amendments, were duly prepared, distributed, and posted in the City's official newspaper and notice boards, in accordance with all applicable code requirements. In addition, the notices were mailed to all owners of real property zoned BP or BC, or owners of real property located within 300 feet of such property, and all parties who had requested to be notified, It was also published on the City's website and as a press release (in addition to the official public notice) in the Federal Way Mirror. IV. OVERVIEW OF KEY PROPOSED AMENDMENTS As noted above, in BPICE, all BP-permitted uses are preserved, except senior citizen housing, and a broad range of retail and commercial L1ses are added. In BC, all existing uses are preserved except truck stops, transfer stations, bulklbig box retail, and adult entertainment. Also proposed in BC is a new use classification and definition ("manufacturing and production, limited") to allow small-scale manufacturing and production operations in conjunction with retail sales, such as custom jewelry making and other custom made arts arid crafts. Tables I and II provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed key changes to allowed uses, and key changes to site design and development regulations, respectively, for both the BPICE and Be zones. Refer to Sections V and VI for additional detail and analysis of zone-specific changes. Also, refer to Section XIII for a discussion of the potential effects of use-related changes on existing development.

Given the extent of the changes, a strikethrough/underline version of the proposed changes (from BP to CE) was not practical. Instead, the existing BP chart will be repealed in its entirety and replaced with the CE title, related development regulations, and other changes shown on the proposed CE chart. A complete reformatting and reordering of use classifications was necessary to accommodate the new and expanded uses, and various non-substantive changes were incorporated, such as codifying interpretations and addressing errors, conflicts, or redundancies.

AMENDMENT TO HOTEL HElGHT IN "CITY CENTER-FRAME" (CC-F) Exhibit D shows the above-noted proposed height amendment for hotels in the City Center-Frame (CC-F). The proposal is to increase "base" height for hotels in CC-F from 45 feet to 65 feet, as a "companion" to the above-noted height increase for these uses in BC and CEo The proposed change is consistent with the comprehensive plan which contemplates the "City Center-Core containing the City's tallest buildings and the City Center-Frame containing transitional heights between the Core and adjacent lower-height areas," (FWCP Chapter 2, Land Use, revised 2006, pg. iJI-5). No other amendments to the CC-F zone are included in this proposal. The existing code allows director-approved height increases to an unspecified maximum, based on consistency with the comprehensive plan, community design guidelines, and adequate infrastructure.

Institutional uses. In all zoning districts where such uses are permitted the following shall apply: (J) Lighting fixtures shall not exceed 30 ft. in height and shall include cutoff shields, B. RATIONALE/STAFF ANALYSIS The above noted proposed changes will strengthen, expand, and clarify existing guidelines, relative to the proposed emphasis on residential and pedestrian uses in BC, and the introduction of retail sales, services, and other uses into the pre-existing light industrial uses in CE; and will promote the comprehensive plan vision and policies for these areas by ensuring the quality of development and integration of uses. This includes strengthening the existing guideline for windows in entrance facades (which may include "faux" and display windows); ensuring that entrances to buildings incorporate some form of architectural emphasis, and some amount of transparent glass; strengthening an existing guideline pertaining to ground floor entrances to retail sales and service uses, in order to ensure that these pedestrian oriented uses (in both zones) provide a proportionate level of pedestrian amenities; improving architectural treatment of chain link fencing where visible from rights- of-way; prohibiting rather than discouraging ground level mirrored glass facing rights-of-way or pedestrian areas; clarifying significant tree guidelines consistent with administrative interpretations; and reorganizing and correcting references to institutional uses and related height of light fixtures.) (Contextual note: Under existing code, all institutional uses [defined by code to include schools, churches, colleges, hospitals, parks, governmental facilities and public utilities] are subject to the design guidelines for institutional uses [see entire text of 922-1639], and all mixed-use commercial/residential uses are subject to the design guidelines for mixed use residential buildings in commercial zones [922-1637]). x. AMENDMENTS TO "LANDSCAPING" Exhibit G contains the proposed changes to FWCC Chapter 22, Article XVII, "Landscaping," The only substantive change is to ensure that industrial uses (as defined above) receive heavier landscape buffers relative to other (less intensive) uses permitted in the CE zone. Proposed Text Amendments to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning" Planning Commission Staff Report File # 06-105688-00-UP / Doc ID 40034 Page 22 XI. AMENDMENTS TO "OUTDOOR STORAGE" Exhibit H contains the proposed changes to FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIII, Division 7, Outdoor Activities and Storage, S22-1113 "Commercial and Industrial Uses." The only substantive change is as follows, the purpose of which is to codify a previous outdoor sales-related interpretation. "( 6) Outdoor accessory sales area( s) adj acent to the entrance of the pri mary structure, if such area is fully covered by a pedestrian-height awning, canopy, roof overhang, or similar feature, that is permanently attached to the primary structure; and all of the following criteria are met: (a) the area maintains a five-foot wide unobstructed pedestrian pathway to the bullding entrance, and in no way blocks any required ingress/egress; (b) sale items are displayed only during normal business hours; (c) no coin-operated vending machines or similar items are displayed; (d) the area complies with subparagraphs (c)(I), (c)(3), and (c)(5), above; and (e) the area complies with all fire, building, and zoning requirements.

NONCONFORMING USE POTENTIAL As a result of the proposed CE zoning, industrial uses would no longer be allowed on property l~llatll€l. 8~Mth €lfS€lMth 356lil Stfllllt '.vllllfll adjoining a lillY..Qr medium density residential zone. One existing business is known to be affected, an existing steel fabrication plant, located south of South 356lh Street near SR-161 and abutting a medi.um density residential zoning. However, this business may continue to operate subject to the nonconformance provisions of the code and other applicable regulations. The nonconforming effect is also offset by increased development opportunities for expanded retail and commercial uses available to this (and other CE zoned) property. As noted above, as a result of disallowing senior citizen housing in CE, no existing developments are known to be affected, provided the Mitchell Place senior housing facility is rezoned from BP to multifamily residential, as proposed under the related comprehensive plan amendments. In addition, at this time, there are no known businesses that would be affected by "relocating" adult entertainment uses from BC to CEo Refer to Exhibit J for maps of the area where adult uses could locate under current zoning (BC) and where they could locate under proposed zoning (CE). It should be noted that the above brief analysis does not address potential development-related nonconformances, such as setbacks, height, parking, outdoor storage, fencing, etc. However, in many cases it is expected that such nonconforming development aspects already exist today, and would not be impacted significantly by the code amendments, XIV. STAFF ANAL YSIS AND RECOMMENDA nON The detailed staff analysis of the zoning text amendments is contained in the above report and summarized below. Staff recommends adoption of the amendments as proposed and analyzed. The staff recommendation is also provided in the form of a proposed motion in Section XV, "Planning Commission Action." The zoning changes are consistent with the comprehensive plan amendments by allowing or encouraging those uses and development that foster or promote the comprehensive plan vision for the subject areas, and disallowing or discouraging those that do not. The proposed mix of uses in the Commercial Enterprise (CE, former BP) zone is consistent with the updated comprehensive plan vision for this zone, by integrating a new mix of retail sales, services, office, and commercial uses into the existing light industrial uses, with other new compatible uses such as bulklbig box retail, gas stations, day care, truck stops, transfer stations, and adult entertainment. Industrial uses continue to be permitted in CE in appropriate locations, The proposed changes in the Community Business (BC) zone are consistent with the updated comprehensive plan vision for BC, which emphasizes mixed-use commercial-residential and related compatible uses, along with the existing predominant mix of retail sales, services, office, Proposed Text Amendments to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning" Planning Commission Staff Report File # 06-105688-00-UP / Doc ID 40034 Page 24 and commerciallresidential mixed use. The residential emphasis is supported by increasing height, density, and modifying open space requirements for mixed-use residential; allowing compatible, small-scale manufacturing; and disallowing uses that are incompatible with in mixed- use commercial/residential areas, such as truck stops, transfer stations, bulklbig box retail, and adult entertainment. In both zoning districts, hotels/motels are afforded a minor height increase to address identified height-related concerns, while a companion height increase for hotels in the City Center Frame (CC-F) will maintain a height advantage for these taller uses to concentrate in the City Center, as contemplated by the comprehensive plan, The proposed changes to height modification criteria, community design guidelines, landscaping, and other design-related standards will help ensure integration and compatibility of uses and the quality of the built environment. XV. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes a process and decision criteria for review and adoption of proposed amendments to zoning text. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: . To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments; . To determine whether the proposed amendments meet the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528; and, . To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed zoning code text amendments. Consistent with the provisions of FWCC Section 22-539, the Planning Commission may take the following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments: 1. Recommend to City Council adoption of the FWCC text amendments as proposed; 2, Modify the proposed FWCC text amendments and recommend to City Council adoption of the FWCC text amendments as modified; 3. Recommend to City Council that the proposed FWCC text amendments not be adopted; or, 4. Forward the proposed FWCC text amendments to City Council without a recommendation, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING MOTION: "Move to recommend to the City Council for adoption of the proposed text amendments to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," File No. 06-105688-00-UP, as recommended by staff, and contingent upon adoption of the reIated comprehensive plan amendments." .. .or... as amended by the Planning Commission as follows......"

EDG2 The City will encourage concentration of non-residential development into four pn mary areas: -High-density mixed-use development in the City Center (3 12th and 320th, SR-99 to 1-5) -A mix of commercial, office and retail development in the area around 348th and SR-99 and around the I-5/SR 18 interchanges -High-quality office park development, including corporate headquarters, continued in and around West Campus -High-quality office development, including corporate headquarters in a park-like campus setting east ofI-5 EDP15 The City will continue to utilize design guidelines to enhance the urban environment to retain and attract businesses and residents. 2. The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare; The proposed FWCC text amendments will improve the market responsiveness of the Business Park/Commercial Enterprise zone; increase development opportunities for certain uses, including mixed-use commercial/residential in Community Business; retail sales, services, offices and related uses in BP/CE; and hotels-motels in both zones; ensure integration and compatibility of uses through site and building design standards; protect residential uses from incompatible uses; and implement the 2006 comprehensive plan amendments; which will have a direct relationship to public health, safety, and welfare, And 3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city. The proposed FWCC text amendments will help revitalize the Business Park/Commercial Enterprise area of the City by expanding the mix of allowed uses allowed in CE, beyond those previously allowed in BP, in order to implement the updated vision for this area of the City; by adding a range of retail, office and commercial uses, for which there is ongoing high demand, to the mix of industrial uses for which there is ongoing low demand. It will also promote co-location of housing with commercial development in BC; expand support services in employment areas; increase pedestrian uses and amenities; and improve the quality and function of the built environment; which is in the best interest of the residents of the City.

The approximate 16 acres there is surrounded by single family residential along the south border and by multi-family residential along the east border. We have concerns about the language that has removed the residential component from the BP zone. In previous communications with the City, our understanding was that the new zone would have the elements of the BP zone.combined with the BC zone to make the best use of the properties for the City growth. We are asking the committee if they have considered that it would be more appropriate to recommend mixed use as a part of the CE zone since the general trend in most of the major construction projects in King County is towards mixed use. This would permit the "mixed-use" element from the BC zone to also be allowed in the CE zone. This would provide a smooth transitional land use between single family zoned and commercial zoned land. Our primary business, ST Fabrication is currently working with several major developers in Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kirkland, Mill Creek and Honolulu. In every case, their approach is to mix residential and commercial structures together to make the projects fiscally viable. The current costs of construction and land make the .commercial only" projects tenuous at best and the vacancies in the BC corridor are a testament to that. Projects that have mixed use allow the underlying residential components to offset the commercial component. This is especially true for the parcels that are geographically constrained by topography, or adjacent residential neighbors. We are able to provide the City contact with these developers who are anxious to make such a project happen in Federal Way at our location. These types of urban communities or live-work centers that merge residen.tial and commercial structures is something that would fit the demographic of Federal Way well. We urge the Committee to consider this in the Comprehensive Plan and the proposed zoning changes. 8T Fabrication, Inc. @ WA State Minoritv Business Enterprise # M4M6818443 AISC Certified Conventional Steel BuildinQ Fab Shop: 35703 16th Ave S, Federal Way, WA 98003 Mailing: P.O.

We read a letter at t/;}e public hearing on March 14,2007 to the Planning Commission describing our . concerns. This generated several questions from the commissioners that we responded to and would like to further address in this request for amendment. During the course of the staff presentation! a new dilemma was presented that we had n6 prior knowledge to. If the zoning changes go through with the new regulations for CE, it appears that our steel fabrication shops, and the tenants we have for the granite fabricators will now be non-conforming. This became apparent during the follow up questions from the Commission. One of those questions dealt with sound abatement. As you know, ST Fabrication has spent more that $30,000.00 and suffered the loss of much more in lost revenues due to operational slow downs in an effort to study the sound generated from our facilities. This was in an effort to appease the complaints from some of our neighbors to the south. The finding of the - sound study (independently contracted with a licensed sound engineer) showed that we were within the WAC standards for our facility and location. We did not come back to the City and ask for reimbursement for these monies spent, or try to recoup our losses from the onerous requests to achieve this study. However, we will not be funding any more sound abatement measures and will continue to operate as allowed by the current regulations. : Having said this, we recognize that the best use of the properties in the long-term is not for heavy industrial use next to residential parcel. One of the development projects we considered allowed under the current BP zoning was senior family housing. This is an excellent use of the properties, has good return on investment, and makes sense from a development view. However, as owners, we also recognized that we then would have many more neighbors to the west and the north that would be similarly affected by our ST FabricatIon, h1C. ~.

In order to maximize the asset value represented to our companies by the properties, we decided that the best solution would be to sell these properties and move to another location that we have secured in the PacificfMilton area. In marketing the properties, we contacted many of our clients who are major developers in the area. As . stated in the public hearing, we have supplied steel for these developers over the last 3 years for projects totally more than $1 billion in development: Cor:ltinental Properties, LLC - Alexan Cascade, Seattle, WA State Street Condominium, Kirkland WA, Kirkland Park Condos, Kirkland WA Kirkland Central Condominiums, Kirkland, WA Ballard Leary Phase I Ballard Leary Phase II Cristalla Condominiums, Seattle WA Avalon Meydenbauer, Bellevue, WA Trammel Crow Residential - Murray Franklin Companies- Avalon Bay Communities - In each of these projects that we have built. and dozens of others that we can document, the developers have chosen to do a mixed use project. The first floors are retail and office space, and the higher floors are residential. We are confident that this is the best solution for our properties in Federal Way. At this juncture, development is stopped since the current zoning doesn't allow the mixed use. If it did, we would already by under construction and ST Fabrication would have already moved. It is important to have a transitional land space between the single family residential parcels and the commercial parcels. Properties that adjoin (abutting to, or across from) should be considered that transitional property and be designated as a mixed use. We recommend that the special regulations should be modified to add that properties that adjoin a residential zone (abutting to or across from) are allowed mixed use. Thanks you for your time and consideration. Respectfully I . ;2~ J se T.

We are not opposed to the CE zoning changes that affect our properties in Federal Way. We agre~ with the Staff evaluation that the CE zoning will allow for expanded development that will better fit the demographic of our city. We ask the Commission if they would direct staff to revaluate residential compatibility for the unique tax parcels that are adjacent to or abut the multi-family residential and single family residential portions.of the city, south of 356\h Street. We agree with the Staff that residential.components should not be considered wholesale across all CE zoning. We believe that the unique parcels in the new CE zone that are transitional properties between the commercial and residential zones are ideal for multi family type housing. or mixed used type structures. A possible so'ution that we have discussed is to allow CE zoning along the frontage .portlons of 3561h and 16th Avenues and allow multi-family higher density structures behind the commercial buildings along the frontage. Multi-family structures provide a good buffer between single family residences and commercial properties. . ...-/ At the last hearing, we also described the mixed use application for these properties. Again, looking at just the properties south of 3561h that are next to the residential area, this would allow a good intermedi~te structure that would serve as a buffer to the Lowes, Home Depot, and Crossings development. We have included .a few drawings of one of the developer's products that are an example of the type of mixed use structure we feel would work very well at these locations. In order for this kind of development to proceed, the developers that we have communicated with would need so~e written documentation from the City indicating that mixed-use Qr multi-family would be an allowed use for these parcels before they would be willing to take on the development costs associated with such a large development. /::I::-l'r;r~~:. .JJj ,~,I.. ~~t,<;~:/ . .1.."_;->:.0-. - r.

While we support the majority of the staff recommendations, there are some issues that provide a grave concern. In the 3f7/07 draft of existing Division 10 Commercial Enterprise (CE), section 22-861 - Manufacturing- fabrication-assembly, it appears that our business as been specifically targeted and will become non- conforming. Special Regulation Note1 states that properties south of 356111 that adjoin a residential line are not allowed the manufacturing and fabrication use that we currently have and operate under. It concerns us that there are no other properties to our knowledge that will be affected by this. Our two tax parcels are clearly being identified as unique, and we agree. they are. They are singularly located between destination commercial businesses such as Lowes, Home Depot, and the Crossings, and the multi-unit housing complexes on our east border and the single family residences on our south border. We request that the new CE zone text be further modified to allow mixed use. multi-unit housing (attached and/or stacked dwelling units), senior housing. and special needs housing) for all properties in the CE zone that are south of 356111 that adjOin or abut a residential zone. Discussions with the Staff and the Planning Commission have been favorable and we feel that this is the most expedient solution. Going through a comprehensive zoning change and pushing this out into next years Comprehensive Plan would have great commercial impact on our small business. As you know, we are a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE # M4M6818443) registered with the Stale of Washington and not a large developer. We don't have the resources to maintain. the carrying costs of the undeveloped land and keep our operations as small as they are. For us, the choice is simple 1. Sell our existing properties to one of the many developers who are interested in putting a mixed use or multi-unit housing development project, or some similar combination of commercial and residential in a attractive community that would greatly enhance the neighborhood and the overall City of Federal Way. This would require the code to be modified as we have requested.

Expand our operations in our current location to mitigate the carrying costs of holding the undeveloped land till such time as the zoning can be dlanged again in 2008 Of 2009. This will cost us at least $500,000.00 jf it runs into 200B. For us to generate that much more additional income, we would certainly have to grow our business operations at our current location however the new CE zone does not allow us to expand out operations. As we have described in earlier communications with the Staff and the Planning Commission, our prospective buyers for this property all have mixed use and/or multi-unit housing with commercial components along the frontage in mind for this property. They are anxious to be able to commence such a project. but need assurances from the City that this is allowed, not several years from now, but this year. We believe that the Staff agrees that this would be the best solution for the property in principle. We would ask that the land Use and Transportation Committee would direct the Staff to take whatever emergency steps are required to make this happen in this current session. As I mentioned, we are long time members of the Federal Way community, and we want to see the City grow and improve for the best. We want to be part of the solution to make the City better, but we need your help to make this happen in a timely manner.

Upon notification of the first public hearing. we have been involved with public comments and letters to the staff and planning commission. We are now asking for the LUTC to intercede on our behalf. Enclosed you will find copies of each of our communications mentioned above to date. Our request to the LUTe is simple. Amend the new CE Zone to allow mixed use, maintaining the residential component that was allowed previously in the BC zone. On numerous communications with the City, we were told that the new BP/BC zone would be a merging of the two codes. The new CE zone doesn't allow mixed use or residential as a component, and this doesn't make sense, especially for properties that are surrounded by residential. The Planning Commissioners' comments all seemed to agree that residential/commercial zoning makes sense for our properties. Staff has indicated that we should simply apply for a rezone and wait for the following year, or year after for the normal process to go through. However, there is tremendous commercial impact to our business if this amendment is allowed to go forward without . modification this year. My company is a Minority Business Enterprise with WA State and employees almost 40 people here in Federal Way. Our company has supplied steel for projects all over the world and we pride ourselves on being a good employer. Our ability to function and grow is stopped by the new CE zone stipulation that properties south of 356th that adjoin residential are not allowed to have fabrication or manufacturing uses. It would make our business a non-conforming site and not allow any expansion.

These extra carrying costs would have to be mitigated by expanding our operations and increasing production, and eventually make up the additional revenue. If the Council adopts the text changes as is, it will prevent us from generating this extra revenue since the expansion of our operations is prohibited. The commercial impact of this unmodified zoning change would be catastrophic to our small business. Our only solution is to move the business and this requires us to sell our properties. To date, we have spent the last year marketing the property and have always encountered those who are interested in developing it as a mixed use project. They will not proceed unless the City indicates that mixed use is allowed. The growth of these types of projects has been significant in Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Ballard, Honolulu, and we anticipate in Federal Way as well. .J We urge the Council to modify the CE zoning change to allow the residential components that were allowed in BC into the areas in CE that are south of 356th and. that adjoin a residential zone. This would limit residential in CE to the few plots that are affected thusly and will also allow us to successfully make the transition from this property to the next. I am sure that the neighbors who have complained about the industrial site next to their houses would be appeased by having a mixed use project as neighbors instead of a steel fabrication shop.

Commissioners absent: Bill Drake (excused). Alternate Commissioners present: Kevin King and Richard Agnew. Alternate Commissioners absent: Caleb Allen (excused). 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 eode 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.\PJanning Connnission\2007\Meeting Summary 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 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 BPIBC 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 BPIBC Zoning Text Code Amendments. The comprehensive plan and BPIBC 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 plflI1 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 (BC) 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 339lh 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 BPIBC 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\MeCling 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 commerciaVretail 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 (aU 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 defmition 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 medicaVdental 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, retai'l 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 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\2001\McCling Summary 03. J4-07.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 if he were to sell the property, but as stated in his letter, the developers he has talked to only want to do mixed-use p.rojects. Commissioner Elder asked who came first to the area, residential or industrial uses. Mr. Cheri an 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. GUs 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.

BP/BC Zoning Text Code Amendments Ms. Michaelson delivered the staff report. She responded to the suggestion raised at the last Planning Commission meeting to reduce the proposed side and rear yard setback for some uses in the proposed CE zone from 10 to five . feet. After researching the issue, staff concluded that there is no compelling reason to impose greater setbacks for pedestrian scale uses in CE than currently apply in those uses BC zone. Therefore, staff recommends a five-foot setback along non-residential property lines for those uses in the CE zone. However, industrial uses would retain the 10 foot setback. In response to the question raised at the last meeting about freeway profile signs, staff recommends that the sign code be ohanged to allow freeway profile signs in the CE zone and not in Be. This would add only three additional properties (between South 3481h Street and about South 340111 Street) to those that already are allowed freeway profile signs because they are cUlTently zoned BC, and would not impact existing BC property as it would be rezoned to CEo K \Planning Commisslon\2007\Meeting $urnmary 03-21 ~07 .doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 March 21, 2007 In regards to the ST Fabrication site owned by Mr. Cherian, staff identified two options: continue to allow senior housing in some or the entire CE zone; or consider a future comprehensive plan amendment and rezone that would allow multifamily and/or mixed use (residential/commercial) in p0l1ions of the CE zone, such as south of South 356'h Street. A key concern is that residential is not contemplated in the proposed comprehensive plan and vision for CE. In order to make a change that includes residential, staff would have to reanalyze and redraft a number of comprehensive plan policies and codes, and possible re-evaluate the environmental impacts. In addition, residential use in CE would be inconsistent with the preliminary direction from the Land Userrransportation Committee (LUTC). However, staff agrees that the BP zoned properties south of South 356th do have unique characteristics and merit consideration of a rezone. Staff does not recommend any changes to the current proposal, but they do suggest Mr. Cherian consider pursuing a site-specific rezone request for the next comprehensive plan updates. In regards to the request at the last meeting that staff consider allowing gambling uses, staff recommends that gambling uses be allowed in the CE zone, but not the BC zone, due to the emphasis on residential in Be. No existing uses would be made nonconforming by this recommendation. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Ms. Clark delivered the staff report. Chairwoman Elder asked that staff first review Chapter Six, Capital Facilities, so that anyone in the audience who is attending just for the discussion of this chapter need not wait any longer. Ms. Clark commented that most of the proposed amendments to the comprehensi ve plan chapters are of a housekeeping nature. The majority of proposed changes are to update demographics related to population and employment. There are also proposed changes due to new codes and the Planned Action SEP A for the city center. There are some substantive proposed changes, which Ms. Clark went over while discussing each chapter. Substantive changes for Chapter Six, Capital Facilities, include changes related to the proposed changes to the existing BP/proposed CE and the BC zones. In addition, language was added (policy CFP21) related to the need for structured parking in the city center. The Lakehaven Utility District and South King Fire and Rescue updated their sections. The boundaries for the South King Fire and Rescue were expanded because of the merger with the Des Moines fire department. The meeting was opened for public testimony on Chapter Six and there was no public testimony. Commissioner Carlson asked about the cable service map. Ms. Clark replied that the cable service map was not updated. She also noted that the city will ask Puget Sound Energy to update their section next year. Commissioner Drake asked if the proposed annexation were to happen, what impact would there be on municipal facilities? Ms. Wang replied that currently, the city has about 10 percent of space in City Hall that was set aside for expansion. Staff is also researching leasing space in nearby buildings if needed. There are no substantive changes in Chapter One: Introduction. Commissioner Pfeifer commented that on page 10 of chapter one, in the "Caring for Our Own" paragraph, there is no mention of community health services. He suggests the city add information on medical facilities. Ms. Clark responded that staff can update this paragraph to add medical facilities. Substantive changes to Chapter Four, Economic Development, relate to the proposed BPIBC amendments. The name "Business Park" is proposed to be changed to "Commercial Enterprise." Language has been added to explain the proposed changes. In addition, language was added to state that housing is not compatible with the proposed CE type uses. Commissioner Elder asked, in regards to the ST Fabrication site, if they were to pursue a comprehensive plan site-specific rezone, how long would the process take. Ms. Clark replied that the current comprehensive plan update is for 2004 and 2005 requests. The city will combine the 2006 and 2007 requests and would start the process in September 2007. She noted that ST Fabrication can continue their operation as a nonconforming use. Commissioner Pfeifer asked if the city is still involved in the South King County Technology Alliance, which is listed on page 13 under Summary of Achievements. Ms. Wang responded the Alliance is no K:\Pl<'mning Commission\2007\Meeling Sumrnary 03.} 1.07 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 March 21, 2007 longer active anGl the paragraph will be deleted. Commissioner Bronson commented that he has a concern with adding language that housing is not compatible with the CE zone. Ms. Clark commented that the city's vision for the CE zone is for heavier industrial uses. Substantive changes to Chapter Seven, City Center relate to proposed new policies intended to stimulate development and redevelopment in the city center. In addition, language was added related to the need for structured parking in the city center. Commissioner Pfeifer asked how the city plans to get pedestrians across South 320th South and Pacific Highway South. Mr. Perez noted that one of the city center maps proposes grade-separated (bridges) pedestrian crossings. This is a very expensive solution (some $3 million a piece). One reason they are so expensive is that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that they have an elevator on each side. Maintenance and upkeep would be an additional cost. A less expensive alternative would be to wait until we have taller buildings and build bridges between the buildings. Mr. Perez commented that staff is constantly working on the timing of the traffic light signals to allow adequate time for pedestrians, while at the same time not making the cars wait for too long. In addition to text changes, there are proposed changes to the maps throughout the comprehensive plan. Most of these are formatting changes and to reflect new city limits based on the 2005 annexation. Some maps were changed in size from I I x 17 to 8 Yi x I I. Some maps were changed from landscape to portrait. A new parks map was added to chapter six that shows locations of public open spaces in the city center. The South King Fire and Rescue map in chapter six shows their expanded boundaries. A map was added to chapter seven of the Planned Action SEP A area. The Enhanced Street Network map in chapter seven was changed to reflect recent and proposed improvements. The city center map in chapter seven was replaced and the entire city center is shown as potential location for city center public spaces. The phasing concept map (1995-20 10) in chapter seven was changed to reflect recent and proposed improvements. The meeting was opened for Public Testimony. Jessie Cherian. ST Fabrication - He read a prepared statement. He is not opposed to the proposed CE zoning. He agrees it would be better. He would like residential to be allowed in a particular area. Residential should not be allowed in the entire proposed CE zone. He feels multifamily structures provide a good buffer between houses and other uses. He said that the developers he has talked to have stated they would need written authorization from the city that mixed-use would be allowed on his property before they would consider buying it. The timing for a site-specific rezone (as recommended by city staff) is a serious consideration. Like Mitchell Place, ST Fabrication is at the end of the zone and it makes sense to him that this area could have mixed-use. There was no additional public testimony. Ms. Pearsall explained that this public hearing has several sub-topics, BP/BC Zoning Text Amendments, changes to chapters of the comprehensive plan, and site-specific rezoning requests (to be discussed April 18th). All sub-topics should move forward as a whole. The Commission could vote on the zoning text amendments, as long as the motion states approval is contingent upon adoption of the related comprehensive plan amendments. Commissioner Pfeifer moved adoption of the staff recommendation for the text amendments and comprehensive plan and it was seconded. However, Commission Osaki noted that the Commission has not discussed all of comprehensive plan and therefore, are not ready to vote upon the comprehensive plan and Commissioner Pfeifer withdrew his motion. Commissioner Carlson complimented the staff on their work and stated he feels comfortable with the direction of the BPIBC Zoning Text Amendments. He agrees that housing in BP (proposed CE) is an anomaly. He suggested the staff consider the idea of allowing mixed-use residential in the "edges" of the proposed CE zone. He does not think it is a good idea to add mixed-use residential without additional research. K\Planning Commission\2007\Meeting. Summary 03-21-07 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 March 2 I, 2007 Commission Bronson also complemented the staff on their work, but stated he does not see a problem with housing in the proposed CE zone, having lived in Ballard where there is housing and industrial uses side-by-side.

AUDIENCE COMMENT None ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT None COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING, continued - 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments and BPIBC Zoning Text eode Amendments Ms. Clark gave an overview of the issues the Commission has discussed to date. She explained that this evening the Commission will discuss the seven site-specific rezone requests and gave an overview of those requests. Staff recommends approval of all seven requests. Chairwoman Elder expressed concern that for Site-Specific Request #2, Trimble, the City Council chose to include two adjacent parcels that were not part of the original request and the owners of those parcels have informed the City that they do not want their parcels rezoned. She doesn't think the City should rezone property the owners have stated they don't want rezoned. Ms. Clark replied that because of the .characteristics of these parcels, the rezone would not be a substantially change; it would result in only a name change for these two parcels. Ms. Pearsall commented that if the Commission should make a decision to not include these parcels, the City would have to analyze if not ineluding them would result in spot zoning. Commissioner Agnew asked if there would be property tax implication& if the properties were to be rezoned. Ms. Clark replied that she believes that the zone of a parcel is not a factor for assessing property tax; it is based on the value of buildings (or lack thereof). K. \Plann-jog Commission\2007\Meeting Summary 04-18-07.doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 April 18, 2007 Public Testimony Vilma Taylor - Applicant for Site-Specific Request #5, Taylor, She commented that she is requesting this rezone so that her property would no longer be nonconforming. Barbara Napier - She spoke regarding Site-Specific Request #6, Lifeway Church. She agrees with the staff recommendation and thanked the staff for their work. When asked if they want to build a church, she responded that they do want to build a church and hope to use the funds generated by subdividing the property to finance the church. Doran Reano - He lives on 54th Avenue SW and spoke regarding Site-Specific Request #2, Trimble. He commented that he had purchased his property because it was relatively undeveloped and he felt the area would not be built-up. He doesn't feel that the rezone would be a benefit to the neighborhood. They already receive a lot of traffic and noise in the area because of Dash Point State Park and are afraid this rezone would increase the traffic and noise. If they loose the trees between the neighborhood and the park, than campers and houses would be looking at each other. This part of SW 320lh Street is very short and people dump their cars and garbage there. Currently, they know who drives by, but this request would change that. There is a lack of support from the City to maintain the roads in the area; they still have debris due to last winter's windstorm. Under King County the zoning was 9.5 and he feels it was zoned Suburban Estateswhen the City incorporated in order to preserve the area and because it is close to the Dash Point Park campsite. Cheryl Harris - Owner of one of the parcels incorporated into Site-Specific Request #2, Trimble. She agrees with Mr. Reano. Currently, they have a buffer to the park, but she fears they will lose it. When she purchased the property she was assured there would be no further building in the area. She is also concerned about the effect upon the wildlife in the area (such as eagles and owls). She asked how would people access the new homes, would 320th be extended? Ms. Clark replied that the City does not have a proposed site plan, but they would likely be developed as flag lots. Jessie Cherian - He is the President of ST Fabrication. He read a prepared statement that he also handed out to the Commission (attached). He is requesting that the proposed Commercial Enterprise (CE) zone allow residential mixed-use. He stated it doesn't make sense to not allow residential mixed-use, especially for properties surrounded by residential. The ability of his business to function and grow would be stopped by the proposed CE stipulation that properties south of3561h that adjoin residential will not be allowed fabrication or manufacturing uses. The consequence is that much of the property would sit undeveloped . and over the next three years, cost the company millions. The only solution is to move the business, but the only developers interested in the property want to do mixed-use projects. He suggests that residential mixed-use be allowed in the proposed CE zone for areas south of 3561h that adjoin a residential zone. Their neighbors would be appeased by having a mixed-use project as a neighbor instead of steel fabrication. Cameron Smock- He is the applicant for Site-Specific Request #4, Washington Memorial Park. He is in favor of the stat! recommendation and thanked the staff for their work. He stated the proposed rezone does not adversely. impact the property in any way. Danny Altizer - He'is the Windermere agent for ST Fabrication. He stated that residential mixed-use would be the best way to market the property. He had been told that they would receive the best of both worlds with the proposed CE zone, but now the residential portion has been left out. The only interest they have received is from those who want residential mixed-use projects. K.\Planning Commission\2007\Meeling Summary 04.18.07 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 April 18, 2007 Wally Costello - He is the applicant for Site-Specific Request #1, Quadrant. He supports the staff recommendation and would be happy to answer any questions Commissioners may have. (There were no questions.) Terry Trimble - He is the applicant for Site-Specific Request #2, Trimble. The property is well-wooded, which is why he purchased it in the first place. He comes from Alaska and wants relatively rural property. He would never strip the property of all its trees. His vision is to build a home on the back portion of his property that would not affect other properties. He has spoken to Hannah Rowe and Cheryl Harris (owners of the additional parcels) and assured them that he, Mr. Trimble, would pay any costs associated with this rezone request. There has been concern raised that four to five houses might be built as a result of this rezone and Mr. Trimble wants to assure people that he intends to have no more than two homes on his parcel. The area is served by septic systems and that limits the number of homes that can be built. He hasn't considered the question of access. He has lived here near Dash Point Park for some 12 years and while he can hear people in the park, he cannot see them. He also commented that the amount of noise has not been a problem. He doesn't plan on spending a lot of money on this project (being retired he doesn't have a lot to spend), and that would also limit the amount of homes built. Cheryl Harris - She has talked to those who hold the Power of Attorney for Hannah Rowe (they didn't attend because they didn't think they could since they are not the property owners) and they stated that they . had considered bringing water and sewer into the area. The cost would have been astronomical. It would not be feasible to bring more than one home into the area. Public testimony was closed. The Commission decided to vote separately on each aspect of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments and BPIBC Zoning Text Code Amendments. Site-Specific Rezone Request #1, Quadrant Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. Site-Specific Rezone Request #2, Trimble Commissioner Pfeifer moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staffrecommendation. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. Site-Specific Rezone Request #3, Gramor eommissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. Site-Specific Rezone Request #4, Washington Memorial Park Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. Site-Specific Rezone Request #5, Taylor Commissioner Pfeifer moved<tand it was seconded) to recomme.ndithe City Council adopt the staffrecommendation. Commissioner Pfeifer asked if Pat's Plumbing was notified of this rezone request. Ms. Clark replied that she had spoken to Pat early inthe process and she would have been notified as part of the 300-foot notices. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. K:\PI3nning COrmnlssion\2007\Meeting SUlmnary 04-18-07 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 April 18, 2007 Site-Specific Rezone Request #6, Lifeway Church Commissioner Pfeifer moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. Commissioner Carlson commented that this parcel is in an area the City is contemplating for an area-wide rezone and he believes this request should be part of that process so that the rezone is done in a more comprehensive manner. The vote was held and the motion failed; three yes, one no. The item moves forward with no recommendation. This is a land use Process [V review and a majority vote of the entire membership (four of seven members) is necessary to recommend approval of an item referred to the Commission for Process IV review. Site-Specific Rezone Request #7, Waller Road IV Associates Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. BPIBC Zoning Text Code Amendments Ms. Michaelson had no staff report (in addition the previous reports), but she did have a handout and overview ofa proposed minor text change dealing with the location of industrial uses in the CE zone. The proposed change affects Special Note #1 of the CE Use Zone Chart, Sections 22-861, -862, -863, and -864. It is proposed to replace the words "south of south 3561h Street," with "low or medium density residential zones." The modified text more accurately reflects the code intent to protect such zoneS from the impacts of industrial uses wherever they occur in the eE, not just south of South 3561h Street. The change would still not allow industrial uses on most properties located south of South 3561hStreet (except between Enchanted Parkway and 1-5), so ST Fabrication would still become nonconforming. The change would also not allow industrial uses on properties west of Highway 99 between South 348th and 3561h Streets. However, the effect is minimal, as most of these properties are unsuitable for industrial uses, as they are already developed or constrained by critical areas or property size..No other changes are proposed to the previous staff recommendation, which now awaits Planning eommission discussion and action. Commissioner Bronson requested further discussion about allowing residential mixed-use (specifically senior housing and special needs) on properties south of South 3561h Street. Commissioner Carlson commented that he does think residential mixed-use development is appropriate south of SouthJ56lb, if adjacent to low or moderate residential zones. Commissioner Bronson commented that he is not happy when a use is made nonconforming. He does not see a problem with residential next to industrial. There would be problems and issues, but these can be worked out. Commissioner Pfeifer asked Mr. Cherian to clarify his intentions. Will he sell the property? Jessie Cherian - He stated that because of the zoning change and complaints from the neighbors, he will move the business. He needs to sell the property, but as he has stated before, the prospective buyers (they have four standing offers) want to be able to do residential mixed-use projects. Staff has suggested he seek a rezone for his property, but it would not be financially feasible for him to stay for the years this process would take. Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation with a modification to allow residential mixed-use on properties south of South 3561b Street that adjoin/abut residential zones. Commissioner Pfeifer asked would it be possible to apply the modification to just the ST Fabrication property. Ms. Pearsall replied that the modification as proposed would do just that. Commissioner Carlson asked what kind of density is proposed for the modification: eight units? 30 units? He asked if staff has analyzed the effects of such a change. Ms. Michaelson commented that under.current BP zoning, only senior housiIlg is allowed, with no spec-ific density limit. The relevant chapters of the 2006 comprehensive plan have been amended to state that residential is not contemplated in CE due to industrial and other incompatible uses. Also, SEP A review. did not consider residential uses. Commissioner Pfeiffer stated he thinks there should be a more comprehensive review of the impacts of allowing residential in the CE zone: density, development regulations, etc. The vote on the modification was held and the motion failed; two yes, two no. K. \PJanning Commission\2007\M~eting Sumtl'klf)' 04.1 g.07 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 April 18, 2007 Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation. The vote was held and the motionfailed; three yes, one no. (The motion failed because it needed four yes votes to be approved.) This item will move forward with no recommendation. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Area Wide Rezone This item is a change of the boundaries of the BC/CE zoning districts and a rezone of Mitchell Place to RM2400. Staff stated that the map had been changed to retain RM3600 zoning for the roadway parcel owned by Christian Faith Center. Commissioner Pfeifer moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation, with the proposed change to retain RM3600 zoning for the roadway parcel owned by the Christian Faith G:enter. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Chapter and Map Changes Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation for the comprehensive plan map changes for chapters 3,8,9, and 10. The vote was held and the motion passed; no nays. Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to recommend the City Council adopt the staff recommendation for the comprehensive plan chapters 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7, and the table of contents.

Staff revised the construction costs to $109,420 plus a 10% contingency of $10,940 for a total amount of $120,360. E. Request to Amend the Rezone Conditions for the Village at Federal Way (Kitts Corner) Margaret Clark provided the background information on this item. There was no public comment on this item. Committee Member Kochmar asked for confirmation on the size of the anchor buildings as well as an example of who may be an anchor business. Ms. Clark answered that the recommendation is to increase the total size of the anchor buildings from 100,000 square feet to 140,000 square feet. The maximum footprint of the anchor buildings will be increased from 50,000 square feet to 80,000 square feet. An anchor building can be up to two stories, thus making it possible to reach the 140,000 square foot maximum with just one anchor building. Possible anchors could be a grocery store; there have been no potential anchors identified at this time. Committee Chair Dovey asked about the width to depth ratios of the buildings. Ms. Clark responded that under existing conditions, buildings may not exceed a 1.5: 1 width to depth ratio. Those buildings that are 1.25: 1 are also satisfied through this requirement. Council Member Burbidge asked for clarification of "non-integrated parking". Ms. Clark explained that integrated parking would be part of the building and that the footprint of the parking could exceed the footprint of the building and also took the opportunity to remind G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Sununaries 2007\05.21.07 LUTC Minutes.doc Land Userrransportation Committee Page 2 March 12, 2007 staff and Council Members that the illustrations in her presentation were conceptual in nature only. Council Member Kochmar asked if the development to the "Kitt's Comer" area to the west of Pacific Highway S will be low-income housi.ng. Ms. Clark responded that the developer is looking at an up-scale zero-lot-line development. Moved: Dovey Seconded: Kochmar Passed: Unanimously Committee PASSED Option 1 to the June 5, 2007, City Council Agenda for' first reading of the Ordinance as amended back to stafPs recommendation of the anchor facades not to exceed a width to depth ratio of 1.25: 1. F. Shoreline Master Program Update Isaac Conlen provided the background information on this item. A PowerPoint presentation was given by Kent Hale and Teresa Vanderberg from ESA Adolfson, the consultant on this project The presentation highlights the changes being proposed to the Shoreline Master Program Update. If approved by COilncil, the revisions will go to the Department of Ecology for review, and then come back to the City Council adoption. Public Comment: Chris Holden, Lakota Beach area, Federal Way. Ms. Holden wanted to point out a discrepancy in Lakota Beach area of the map. Ms. Holden thought that "urban conservancy" was to be changed to "residential shoreline "; however, the map did not reflect that change. Mr. Hale responded, apologizing for the maps small print and poor detail, but that the map .should reflect this change from urban conservancy to residential shoreline. Mr. Conlen also concurred that a short section of the Lakota waterfront was changed to residential shoreline, but the remainder of the shoreline is unchanged per the Planning Commission recommendation. Committee Chair Dovey asked about the specific changes being made to the Shoreline Master Program. Mr. Conlen reiterated that a brief synopsis of these changes were addressed in the PowerPoint presentation and that he and the consultants would answer any further questions he or the other Council members have. Committee Member Kochmar asked about non-conforming uses. Mr. Conlen stated that if a non-conforming stmcture is destroyed, the current Shoreline Plan states that the structure may only be re-built to its original size at its original location if the replacement costs are less than 75% of the existing value of the structure. This requirement is very restrictive. The Planning Commission proposes that this be changed to eliminate the value stipulation thereby allowing a non-conforming stmcture may be replaced if destroyed to its original size at the original location, regardless of reconstruction costs vs. original value. Public Comment: Peter Townsend, 29508 12th Avenue SW, Federal Way. Mr. Townsend questions the definitions of "streams" and "wetlands", claiming the definitions are not consistent with each other. He would like the City to address the four types of streams and the four types of wetlands. Under State guidelines, if the City doesn't conform to these definitions, then it is Mr. Townsend's opinion that the City needs to give an explanation as to why we are not conforming. . Ms. Vanderberg clarified that the State has a four-tiered rating system and that the City is only required to bring current critical areas into the Shoreline Master Program. The City's definition for "wetland" is consistent with the State's definition. The City does not have any streams which quality as shoreline. If wetlands are associated with a lake or larger body of water, the wetlands qualify as shoreline: Mayor Park asked if Camp Kilworth is designated as natural shoreline. Mr. Conlen responded that Camp .Kilworth is defmed as urban conservancy. Committee Chair Dovey asked about what changed would be made to the stringline setback. Mr. Conlen explained that there is currently a 50-foot setback. Example: a home could be built on a vacant lot where there exists a home on either lot adjacent to the vacant lot A stringline would be made between the two existing homes. The new home on the vacant parcel could be built to the same setback as the stringline. The standard 50-foot setback, however, could be reduced to no more than a 35-foot minimum. On the other extreme, if two existing homes on either side of a vacant parcel were set back a greater amount (ie. 150 feet), the new home would not h,ave to follow the stringline theory and meet a setback of 150 feet The proposed language eliminates the requirement to meet the stringline setback when adjacent structures are set back more than 50 feet Council Member Burbidge wanted to clarify that the minimum setback is 30 feet, not 35 feet Mr. Conlen concurred that the correct minimum setback is 30 feet Council Member Burbidge also wondered what kind of accessory structures can lie within the 50-foot setback. Mr. Conlen stated that accessory structures, such as a garden shed, boat house, etc. may not exceed 300 square feet combined. Larger structures need to be located outside of the setback area. Moved: Kochmar Seconded: Dovey Passed: Unanimously Committee PASSED Option 1 to the June 5, 2007, City Council Agenda for adoption of the Resolution with the understanding that the minimal setback is corrected from 3S ft. to 30 ft. G:\LUTOLUTC Agendas and Summaries 2007\05.21.07 LUTC Minutes.doc Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 3 March 12,2007 G. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Chapter Two and Area Rezone Related to Changing Boundaries of BPICE and BC Zones Margaret Clark provided the background information on this item. There was no public comment. Conunittee Member Kochmar asked if action would or wouldn't be taken at this time. Ms. Clark confirmed that action will be delayed until it can be taken on all of the Comprehensive Plan. Committee Chair Dovey asked for explanation on the BPICE zone and what wil'l now be included/excluded in this zone from what it was up to this point. Ms. Clark answered that Ms. . Michaelson will be answering that question directly in her presentation of the next item. The remaining 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments will be presented at the June 4, 2007 Land Use Transportation Committee meeting with all recommendations being forwarded to the June 19,2007 City Council Agenda. No action taken. H. Zoning Text Amendments: BPICE and BC Lori Michaelson provided the background information on this item. Public Comment: Jesse Cherian, ST Fabrication, Federal Way. Mr. Cherian stated that he has appeared at every meeting on this zoning issue since March /4, 2007. He is requesting a text amendment to the proposed CE zone to allow mixed-use residential/commercial for all properties south of S 356'h Street, between SR 99 and SR J 6/, which also abut a residential zone. Mr. Cherian realizes that with the proposed Comp Plan amendments, ST Fabrication would become a nonconforming use. As a businessman, Mr. Cherian would not be able to grow his company. Because of the restrictions that would now be imposed, selling his parcels to another developer would be extremely difficult. Amending the text of the CE zone to allow mixed-use residential would provide more options for developers, thus making his land more attractive to potential buyers. Committee Member Kochmar asked if Mr. Cherian had thought to request a code amendment this coming year that would allow him to continue operating in this location. Mr. Cherian explained that he has acquired adjacent land to expand his current business. Without expanding and generating more business, he will be unable to afford his current mortgage. With the proposed text change, he would be unable to expand. Stan Brown, S 359'h Street, Federal Way. Mr. Brown has resided in Federal Way for 35 years on property that abuts the ST Fabrication site. ST Fabrication has had a huge impact on his quality of life. The fabrication business is extremely noisy. Mr. Brown compared it to the sound of a mortar round. He has met twice with Kathy McClung. however, not much could be done as Mr. Cherian was within his right to operate his business as the current land use zones allow. A neighbor was so ovenvhelmed with the noise that he actually abandoned his home without selling it. The home is still on the market as no one will purchase it due to the close vicinity of the fabrication business. Mr. Brown would like to see Mr. Cherian's request grantedfor mixed-use residential to be allowed in this specific location of the proposed CE zone. Committee Chair Dovey then summarized what he heard both Mr. Brown and Mr. Cherian say. There appears to not be a buffer zone between the residential neighborhood and the CE zone. If this area south of S 356th were mixed-use residential, it would serve as a buffer zone. Council Member Burbidge commented on whether "live-work" projects for artists had been thought of as a way to develop this particular area. Mr. Cherian has considered this option; if mixed-use residential were allowed, he could decide to relocate his fabrication business to an appropriate location and re-develop this land himself Council Member Burbidge is interested in comments from staff on "live-work" projects. Committee Chair Dovey inquired on the amendment regarding parking lot spaces for medical and dental offices. At this time, medical and dental offices are not distinguished from general office. The current requirement for general office is one parking stall per 300 square feet of building gross floor area. The text amendments would increase the number of stalls for medical and dental offices to one stall per 225 square feet. Committee Chair Dovey asks how much more this would cost the developer to increase the number of stalls, for example, for a building 10,000 square feet. Discussion on this question followed, and staff will bring information to the next LUTC meeting. Committee Chair Dovey also asked about building height for mixed use. The height for mixed use will go from 35 feet to 55 feet with the proposed text amendments. Is 55 feet high enough and why don't we go higher? Ms. Michaelson explains that the thought behind the amendment is to encourage mixed-use but not distract from development of the "downtown" city center. The highest buildings should be in the downtown core. Committee Chair Dovey would like to see the limits increased where allowed. Ms. Michaelson stated that a significant height increase would be subject to view corridor analysis, Comp Plan amendments and SEP A; not that the City would not like to go there, but there a lot of factors to look at. Chair Dovey feels that more "view corridor" results in iricreased tax revenues. How high can the City allow without a study as he does not want to see the City set its. standard too low. Ms. Michaelson stated that staff will come back later to revise this when necessary. Committee Member Burbidge is also interested in what is the "right" height. She wants to make sure that whatever the height, there is also space between buildings, open spaces an~ "public" view. G.\LUTClLUTC Agendas and Summaries 2007\05-21-07 LUTC Minules.doc Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 4 March I 2, 2007 Committee Chair Dovey feels that Mr. Cherian and Mr. Brown's comments have merit and he would like to see consideration given to their request. Ms. Michaelson stated that it could be considered for the limited properties mentioned but is not recommended for all of the CE zone. Between SR 99 and SR 161, south of S 356th Street is close to residential, critical areas, etc. Ms. McClung added that mixed-use residential in this area is not objectionable, however, within the entire CE zone would not work. Up until the present, staff has not been considering individual sites in this city-wide project. Coimmittee Member Kochmar suggests that text be amended in the CE zone to allow for the parcels shaded in green on the map shown in Ms. Michaelson's presentation (west of SR 99 and south of S 356th St, between SR 99 and SR 161) to have mixed-use residentiaVcommercial. How would it be shown in the Comp Plan? Ms. Michaelson explained that language in the Comp Plan would be modified to set the policy framework for this use. All text amendments would be contingent of adoption of the plan amendments. Moved: Kochmar Seconded: Dovey Passed: Unanimously Committee PASSED Option 1 to a future City Council Agenda for first reading of the Ordinance as amended to include mixed-use residential/commercial for property south of S 356th Street, between SR 99 and SR 161, contingent on approval of the Comprehensive Plan.. 5.
