Comcnia,iozter Medhur;t commer�ted-that he a�re� with retaeiing the current poliey in regards to the
stoamcater faci[in� because that is the point of impac�, but he does aot s� a probtem with deferring rhe op�n
space to the poent ofsale. E#e sugj�ted. the city require that the entire fee be paid ctith the firsE occupancy_
L(c Hercer� cep(ied that it u(ikely ttie iov cvou(d be satd before a�tructure u bui[t and deferring the fee and
cequiring the tirsE c�cc�ancy pay the entire fee �s means the entire fee would fali upon one purcha�er.
Commb,ioner Bronson comcnented that he does not see a problem ec�ith collectin� the open space piecem�l. [t
Lcould enean a smaller acnount at one time, but the payments woutd cortie in over a tonger period o E tim� i�ir.
HeFrera responded that the fees may aniy be used evithin a singie park planning area in wfiich they are co(lected
and tEeey must be used tivithin tive year. [t is untike[y that a�mall amount of money would be fc�ble.
Commusioner Long as�ed if the afr►aunt of the Eees would change over time. i�tr. Herrera rep[ied that he does
not trno�v for sure [t has flot been [egally tested if int�ation can be added to mitigation tees. Mr. Eie�t�nan
comitiented that the city could considec an adminutrative fee (oEone to nvo percent) to handle the defecmen�
Commis�ioner Long �va; concemed that in the proposed amendments to 19_ lOQ.060(2)(b) to codify the

RE: Timin of Cotiection o tormwater Fees
f t �c�c,� T � /ft+�f,
Dear Ghai hmae, Cou�1�'�"'mbe rreil and Couaci�erri�e I]�ucios:
On behalf of the tnore than 3,9Q0 members of the Master Buitders Association of K�ing an�l
Snohomish Cotrnties fMBA) i am v`rriteng to yau (as yau requested at the tnost recent meeeing of
the Land [;se and Transportation Committeej to �oitow-up on the issue of �iming for eoliection
of stormwater fees.
As you know, the request for the City to defer the coileceion of Storrr�waker Fees unti( much later
in che construction proeess is part of a series of recommendations I made to the CiCy last January
for locaI Economic and Housing �timulus Uptians. My pael�ag� of r�commendations included
a simil�er request regarding oCYter fees imposed on newiy eonstructed homes - s�tch as the
Transportation icn�act Fee - and we appreciate the action the City has taken receatly regarding
ehe Transport�ztion Impaet F�e_
With regard to the deferring fhe coltection of the Stormuater Fee untii later in ttte cot�struction
process, please permit me to make four points to augment and clarify my remarks $t the Ptannin-g
Commission:
First, to rriy kno�vlecige, I do not hdv� Fnembers with projec�s eurrently in the devefogme�tt
pipaline in the City of Federa! Way. That is the reason F was willing for the tnat�er tc� be deferred
untii this coming summer (along with the other reniainin� rzcommendations in the Econamic
and Housing Stimulus Qptior�s}, rather than actin� immediately. I unders[and t�ere was some
confusion about whether ar not we would support � delay of two years. We would not. Beeause
we dv not have projects in the pipeline in Federal Way at the moment, I felt a detay ur�til tt�is
sumrner wa; probably doable, aut not a detay of two years.

MSA Stormwater Coflection Fee �tr

Second, one of the reasons it'ts important tc� move forward with our ree:ommeadations in
Ecanomie and Housing Stitnulus Options is that builclers face a huae hurdle tryina to ra'tse
capital when they approach a l�nder fQr groject firtancing. The less a buitder needs to raise up
front - and can pay �t the �nd af tt�e eansttuction grfacess - the more likely helshe is able to
obtainutg ftnancina. Anafher �ay to view it is tfie loan goes on the new hacneowners eredit card
not the builders. This c�ot onlyhelps tlze Bu�lder; it also helps the City becaus� when new
pc�1ects bet built and sald they:
■ Increase �he City's �roperty tax ba�e
■ Provide neuf consttveti�an grttperCy tax r�venues in tlze year of cQnstrucrian in excess
of the 1 �/a lir�tit
■ Pravide sales E�x r��enues on cc�nstruetion materrals (if the canstcuctioi� cna[�rials are
purchased in the �ity or deliver�d. tQ the constiuction site by the materials-s�lter, a�td
■ Prr�vide new RE�T re�enne5 �o the: City.
Third, the City would be able to ensure collection by a tien on �itle that would be due upon the
�ale at the home. Twa adcl.itional rnatters shoutd be noted here:
■ In the absence of some o�ther rrtechanism Eo provide "certainty of cc�llection" an �nult�-
Famity r�ntal pcojects aad cammereial project�5, �ue would suppc�rt the: Stc�rmv�aeer Fee
bein; due and pa�able as a cQndition for issuance of a Certifeat� of t?ccupa�acy {CO)
an multi-famiiy and cammereial pcojeets, and
■ In th� event Ft may be Qf as�sistanc� to staf� and the Councii, we at�t�cipate providing
you wittt a dtaft f.�m�Iate fot � City� Lier� far Stonn�vater Fees Due Upon First Sale
that may be af so�e assistanc� to your Eity Attarney's office in i�ripleEneating the
ord'tnan�.
Fourth, I agree with Mr. Pace (with the REt�LT�RSC�) tha[ a gaod reason for the City ta rrtove
far�vard at this time is that if Federal Way has this item in place, it u�ill hetp to make t� Cit� af
Fedecal Wa�r mc�re atttacti�e as a p�ac� fvr lausinesses - includin� builders - to invest ne� �rivate
capital compared to some ott�er city that has no� taken advanta�e of this opportunity.
Thank you far the opportuniry ra provide- these adeiitional comments. Shouid vou k�ave at�y
questions ar cQneems, please feei �ree to contact me at {?U6) 60�-8877 or

Timiug of Collection of Stormwater Mitigation Exactions
lvovember 30, 2009
Dear Chair Kochmar and Members of the City Council LUTC,
t Ut ?
At the meeting of the Council's LUTC on November 16th you requested letters &om our
Association and the Masterbuilders regarding our request (in support of the Masterbuilders'
Recommendations for a city economic stimulus plan (Economic and EIousing Stimulus Options)
that the City defer the collection of Stormwater Fees until the end of the construction process.
I've spoken with Mr. Huffinan and learned two things that I think address and reconcile the
apparent divergence in our views that confronted the LUTC on November 16th:
In my testimony before the LLTTC I indicated, respectfully, that I did not support waiting
two years to address the issue of the timing of the collection of fees for cost recovery of
stormwater facilities that are already in place. In speaking with Mr. Huffman he
indicated that he too does not support a delay of two years. Instead, he indicated he was
agreeable to waiting until this summer, but only if the remainder of the items in the MBA
package of recommendations for a city economic stimulus plan were addressed at that
time, and also because it was his impression that his members do not currently have any
projects in the City's development pipeline that would benefit immediately from adoption
of the ordinance.
Second, Mr. Huffinan shares my view that in order to attract such projects to Federa.l
Way, it would be helpful if the recommendation for deferral of collection of Stormwater
Fees were adopted now. My view, which I understand Garrett supports, is that the City
needs to act to establish its competitive position now, as soon as possible, ra:ther than
waiting for the real estate market to recover and then trying to make-up ground in an
effort to position the City as a preferred destination for the investment of new private
capitaL
As you know, real estate will be key to the state, regional and local economic recovery.
Historically, approximately 24% of the State's GDP has been tied to, and dependent upon, real
estate. For the City of Federal Way, the City's sales tax on construction materials, REET

revenues (�vhich help to fund many of the City's capital costs associated with infrashucture
improvements ta accommodate economic growth), and construction-related property tax
revenues in e�ccess of the 1% limit, are all dependent upon the recovery of real estate.
As I explained in my testimony to the LUTC on Novecnber 16th, REALTORS� supported
collecting the new transportation impact fee as late as possible in Federal Way, as long as the
City required the builder to clear the City's lien from the title to the home before the lst buyer of
the home received title. Delaying the collection of that payment until closing minimizes the
impact of the fee on both the builder and the new home price (because it elirninates the interest
carrying cost on the fee).
The same rationale applies to Stormwater Fees, only more so. VVhy? Because the Stormwater
Fee is merely for cost recovery in connection with facilities that have a(ready been constructed
and are already in place to serve the new development. As a result, the timing of the collection
of the Stormwater Fee wilt not affect water quality or the management of stormwater beeause the
City's two stormwater facilities have already been constructed and are already in-place.
Given the uncertainty of how long it will take the new construction housing market to fully
recover, the proposed change for Stormwater Fees collection would help to encourage builders to
begin building sooner rather than later (by minimizing the potential for longer interest-paying
holdin� periods on front-loaded fees) and help to enhance the ability of projects in Federal Way
to obtain financing.
With regard to the staffs concerns about "certainty of collection" on multi-family and
commercial projects, we concur with Mr. Huffman that:
!n the absence of some other mechanism to provide "certainty of collection" on multi-
family= rental projects and commercial projects, we would support the Stormwater Fee
being due and payable as a condition for issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) on
multi family and commercial projects.
If you have additional questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Proposed Defermeat of Open Space Fee-in-Lieu and Regiouat Stormwater Facility Fee
Matt Herrera pres�ted information on this item There was one pablic comment
Sa�n Pac� Assvcia�ion of Realtors — Mr. Pace invited the committee to look at this issue from
the standpoint of Ieading the communig, �nd developers out of the economic recession. Mr.
Pace supports Option #1 on Open Space Fee-in-Lieu, but requests that Council considers
deferring the Regio�l Stormwater Facility Fee to the point of certificate of occupancy. Mr.
Pace feels that deferme�et of SWMfees meets the developer on middle ground and does not cost
the developer so mueh money at the front end of a project.
Committee Member Duclos asked for c(arification. She believed that staff forwarded the
P(anning Commission's recommendation of retaining and codifying the City's present process
of collecting for open space fee-in-lieu prior to plat recording and regional stormwa.ter facility
fees prior to engmeering approvaL Mr. Herrera confirmed this to be correck
Cha�r Kochmar asked what the average fee-in-liea was for a new home. Depury PW D'uectoc
Miller stated t6at it is hard to approximate an average fee—ia-lieu; but that it was importaat to
note that the developer always has a choice; they can pay to make tl�ir own improvements or
the can pay the fee for ti�e City's option. T'he City's oprion is a savings for the developer.
There was moie discussion back and forth between the committee members, sta� and Mr. Pace
on the various options for collecting the regiona.l stormwater facility fees.
�It�ugh the Plaoning Ca�mmission had the support for their recommendation &om the Master
Buetders Associatian, there was no one to speak on their behalf at the LUTC meeting.

There were no other nominations. The vote was held and he was elected unanimously.
CHANGE TO PLANNING COMMISSION RULES
Ms. Piety explained the proposed changes and reason for them. There are three proposed changes. Sta.ff is
proposing to change the time of election for officers from October to the first regularly scheduled meeting
of the year. Holding elections in October is not intuitive and many times staff overlaoks scheduling
elections at that time. Staff proposes to not state a particular month because the Commission only meets
when there is business to be conducted and they may not meet in the month named. Commissioner Elder
commented that it is a good idea to hold elections at the first of the year because new Commissioners are
appointed in October and this would give them time to get to lrnow those who are nominated and be able to
make an informed choice. The second proposed change is to delete the word "tape" when it appears before
"recording." The meetings are and will continue to be recorded, but they are digital, not tape, recordings.
The third proposed change is to delete "Process N" when it appears before "review." This refers to the
type of land use process and the specific number of that process has changed. Staff does not propose to
change the number (simply delete it) in case it should change again in the future and because the word
"review" by itself is an adequate description. Commissioner Medhurst moved (and it was secondec� to
adopt the purposed changes to the Planning Commission Rules as presented. The motion carried. �

PUBLIC HEARING — Proposed Deferment of Open Space Fee-in-Lieu and Regional Stormwater Facility Fee
Mr. Herrera delivered the staff presentation. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this issue
on November 4, 2009, and recommended to retain and codify the cunent policy of open space fee
collection prior to plat recording and regional stormwater facility fee collection prior to engineering
approval. Following the Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council's Land
Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) has held two public meetings regarding this policy issue. At the
November 16`�' meeting, the committee requested Garrett Huffman of the Master Builders Association
(MBA) and Sam Pace of the Seattle King County Realtors to submit written comments on the issue and
present those comments at the next LUTC meeting. At the December 7"' meeting, Mr. Huffinan and Mr.
Pace submitted comments proposing to defer the regional stormwater facility fee to point of sale for single
family residential and Certificate of Occupancy for commercial and multi-family development. The LUTC
then returned the item back to the Planning Commission for further proceedings.
StafPs recommendation remains unchanged from the original November 4, 2009, staffreport to the
Planning Commission. That report recommended to: retain and codify the existing policy of collecting
open space fee-in-lieu payments prior to final plat recording; and retain and codify the existing policy of
collecting regional stormwater facility fees prior to engineering approval.
Garrett Huffman, Master Builders Association — He commented he is confused why this issue
has come back to the Planning Commission at this point. It is his understanding that the
council feels all fees the city collects should be done through escrow and that they will be
requesting staff to prepare an ordinance regarding the collection of all fees. Given this, it
seems the Planning Commission should wait on this issue until the future ordinance.
Mr. Herrera commented that in regards to the School Impact Fee, the Federal Way Public Schools
implements the policy and the city simply collects the funds. In 2009, the council adopted an ordinance in
regards to Traffic Impact Fees and when they will be collected. That ordinance becomes effective in June
2010. The only two fees in question in regards to when they are collected are the open space fee-in-lieu
and regional stormwater facility fee. Mr. Fewins commented that staff understands that the LUTC's
request is for staff to re-present the question of when open space fee-in-lieu and regional stormwater
facility fees are to be collected to the Planning Commission and to include the comments from Mr.
Huffman and Mr. Pace, which the Planning Commission did not have at the last public hearing. Mr.
Beckwith concurred.
Commissioner Carlson commented that he is also confused because he thought that in the future all fees
would be in the same section of the city code. He does not see a need to collect all the fees at the same
time. He feels fees should be collected when the impact occurs. Chair Pfeifer went over Mr. Pace's
comments and stated he agrees with them on the surface.
Commissioner Bronson commented that it is his understanding that a developer has a choice about whether
to build their own stormwater facility ar use a city facility and they would only pay the stormwater facility
fee if they chose to use a city facility. He does not think it is unreasonable to request the funds be paid up
front. Commissioner Elder commented that she feels the Commission made a thoughtful and right decision
last time and sees no reason to change that decision. Commissioner Long commented that stormwater
facility fees are comparatively small and he sees no reason why they cannot be paid up front.
Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconde� to recommended adoption of the staff's
recommendation (Option 1) for the open space fee-in-lieu. The motion carried unanimously. Commissioner
Bronson moved (and it was secondec� to recommended adoption of the staff's recommendation (Option 1)

PUSLIC HEARI1vG — Amendment to Expand the Siae of Health Clubs in the Neighborhood Business
(BN) Zone
Mr. Lee delivered the staff presentation. He went over the background of zoning for health clubs in Federal
Way. Currently, health clubs are allowed in the Neighborhood Business (Bl� zone with a 25,000 �quare
foot maximum size limitation. Tn 2008, a health club facility applied for a variance to exceed the square
foot limitation to occu,py an existing vacant 43,061 square foot Albertson's building within the BN zone.
The application was ultimately denied by the hearings examiner. The city wants to improve the occupancy
of larger vacant buildings (such as the vacant Albertson's) and the tenant spaces in the BN zone, many of
which were built prior to the 1990 incorparation of Federa.l Way. The proposal is to amend the Federal
Way Revised Code (FWRC) Chapter 19.215 related to the size of health clubs in the 1Veighborhood
Business (Bl� zone by adopting one of the following possible options:
1. Remove the square foot limitations for health clubs in all BN zones.
2. Remove square foot limitations for health clubs only for those parcels in the BN zone
located in the vicinity of 21 Avenue SW and SW Campus Drive.
3. Increase the square foot limitations for health clubs in all BN zones to 45,OOU square feet,
or;
4. Allow he�lth clubs of more than 25,000 square feet within all BN zones with a Process IV
Hearing Examiner Decision and decisional criteria to assess potential impacts to adjacent
residential zones.
Mr. Lee went over the pros and cons of each option (found in the staff report). Sta.ff recommends Option
#2 because it serves the greatest good with the least amount of impact. Mr. Lee also stated that the city
received three email comments which may be found attached to the staffreport. The meeting was then
open to public comment.
Michael Chen, Group McKenzie — He thanked the staff for their work. I3e supports the staff
recommendation.
Laurie Montgomery, Lighthouse Laundry Owner — She commented that the Albertson's building
has been vacant for over three years and has had a detrimental effect on all businesses in the area.
(graffiti, vandalism, etc.). Other shopping centers in the area have been recently remodeled,
leaving the Albertson's area looking bad in comparison. It would be a win-win situation to have a
health club in the old Albertson's building. She and her husband (Patrick Montgomery) support
the proposed amendment.
Commissioner Elder expressed concern that the city would be "spot-zoning" with this proposal since it
only affects health clubs. Mr. Beckwith replied that since it does not identify a specific site, it is not spot-
zoning. Commissioner Elder asked if the city is discriminating on behalf of health clubs. Mr. Lee replied
that different zones throughout the city have different size requirements for different types of businesses.
Commissioner Bronson commented that there are only about six or seven properties in the entire BN zoning
districts that can accommodate a large building. Given this, he suggests the Commission consider Option #1
(removing the square foot limitation for health clubs in al] BN zones). Mr. Lee commented that staffhas not
analyzed all the BN zones and therefore, do not know for sure if there are only six or seven properties.
Commissioner Carlson agrees and stated that health clubs are a good fit for neighborhood businesses. Mr.
Fewins commented that staff does not object to Commissioner Bronson's proposal. Later this yeaz, staff �

intends a more comprehensive analysis of the BN zone, which may lead to additional proposed
amendments. In the mean�ime, the city council directed staff to address the health club size issue, hence the
current proposal.
Commissioner Medhurst comrnented that the proposed amendment could help alleviate traffic in the city
center by keeping people closer to home. Carlson moved (and it was secandea� to
recomrnend adoption af Option #2. The motion carried unanimously.

AIVIENDMIIVT TO FEDERAL WAY REVISED CODE TO ERPAND THE SIZE OF HEALTH CLUBS IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS ZONE
File No: 09-104719-00-SE / 09-10472400-UP
Pubhc Hearing of January 6, 2010
L ItEASON F'OR AIVIENDMENTS .
The prop�ed amenctments are a part of the 2009 Planning Commission work program. Federal Way
Revised Code (FWRC) 19.215.020 allows health clubs in a Neighborhood Business (BN) zoning
district; however, the maximum gross floor area may not exceed 25,000 square feet. The city is
exploring ways to improve occupancy of larger vacant buildings and the tenant spaces in the BN zone,
many of which were built prior to the 1990 incorporation of Federal Way.
The Plarming Commission is being asked to review the four proposed options for changes to the
zoning code attached as E�ubits A-D, and forward a recommendation to the City Council. Staff is
recommending tha.t Option 2, as set forth in Extubit B, be recommended for approval to the Ciry
Council.
II. Bacx�xourm
Federad Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.215.020 allows health clubs ix� a Neighbarhood Business
(BI� zoning district; however, the ma.ximum gross floor area may not exceed 25,000 square feet.
This zone also restricts the gross floor area of restaurants to 7,000 square feet; fast food restaurants
to 5,000 square feet; private clubs or lodges to 10,000 square fee� retail establishment providing
entertainment, recrea.tional, or cultural services or activities to 25,000 squa.re feet; and other retail to
40,000 square feet. Self-service storage facilities are also resiricted to 40,000 gross square feet per
building.
Health clubs were not permitted in the BN zone until November 2001, when the City issued a zoning
code interpretation pursuant to Fecleral Way Ciry Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article IV.A,
pezmitting health clubs provided that the gross floor area of the business did not exceed 7,500 square
feet. This size threshold would allow smaller fitness centers, like a"Curves facility," which can
locate in as little as a 1,000 square foot area, but would exclude larger facilities like Bally's Fitness
Center and 24 Hour Fitness. The intent of the 7,500 square feet size limitation was to ens�e tha.t
health clubs developed within a BN-zoned area would ma.intain a neighborhood scale and not attract
traffic from a broader area. Larger faciliries are currently permitted in the City Center Core (CGC),
City Center Frame (CC-F), Community Business (BC) zones, and Commercial Enterprise (CE)
zones, which have no size restrictions.
In 2002, the City ad�ted regulations permitting health clubs up to 25,000 gross floor azea in the BN
zone. There has been a recent pernut application to pemut a health club in the old Albertson's
building at 33620 21 Avenue SW. This building is 43,061 square feet in size.
53
The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) provides guidance in regards to the expansion of the
role of BN zones:
"...Neighborhood Business areas are intended to provide co�enient goods (e.g., groceries
and hardware) and services (e.g., dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and
neighboxhood scale close to adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential
and comm�cial nses provide a convenient living environm�t within these nodes. In the
future, att�tion should be given to design features that aihance the appearance or
function of these azeas....
... The need to address expansion or intensification may occur in the fature depending on
popnlation growth. l�tare neighborhood business locations should be cazefully chosen
and sized to meet the needs of adjacent residential areas."
The role of personal he�lth has been an increasingly integral part of modern living and has
transformed itself into a staple of convenient services such as a dry cleaner or bank. According to a
report done by The Mercanti Group, a financial advisory group, the health club industry has grown 8
percent annually from 1993 to 2005, which is in step with the clemand for membership in health club
facilities (41.3 million Americans or 13.9 percent of the U.S. population have health club
memberships). Even in financially difficult times, a 2009 IBIS World Inc. report, an industry and
market research company, estima.ted that the industry would grow anywhere from 5 to10 percent in
the coming years; however, the immediate next few years will see a 2 percent growth. The need to
adclress intensification of the BN zone, in regards to health clubs, has been d.emonstrated through not
only economic clemand, but also by public demand.
III PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
The praposal is to amend the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), Chapter 19.215 rela.ted to the size
of health clubs in the Neighborhood Business (BN) zone by adopting one of the following possible
altetnatives:
1. Remove the square foot limita.tions for health clubs in all BN zones.
2. Remove square foot limitations for health clubs only for those parcels in the BN zone
located in the vicinity of 21�` Avenue SW and SW Campus Drive.
3. Increase the square foot limitations for health clubs in all BN zones to 45,000 square
feet, or;
4. Allow health clubs of more than 25,000 square feet within all BN zones with a Process
� N Hearing Examiner Decision and decisional criteria to assess potentiat impacts to
adjacent residential zones.
The proposed alternatives are attached as Exlubits A-D of this sta.ffrepart.
IV. ANnLYSIs
Based on the analysis below, staff recommends that Option 2 as set forth in Exhibit B, be
reeommended for approval to the City Council. .
There are currently 14 areas designated BN in the City of Federal Way. The following Table I is a
list of the 14 BN zoned areas in Federal Way by locarion and acreage. The areas are shown by
number on Exhibit E (attached).

The 14 areas designated. BN occupy appro�cimately 115 acres. The size of these neighbarhood
business centers ranges from approximately 46 acres (Area 1) to approximately one-quarter acre
(Area. 14). Not only is Area 1 larger in terms of acreage (45.57 acres), it also houses larger pre-
existing retail develapments such as retailers Fred Meyer (191,077 square feet), Albertson's (43,016
square feet), Safeway (36,553 square feet), and Rite=Aid (22,206 square feet).
The Albertson's supermarket, at 43,016 square feet, has retnained vacant since DeceYnber 31, 2006.
Due to its size, architecture of the building, and current zoning regulations, compahble and
conforming uses are difficult to house. Option 2 (Exlubit B) would allow for greater flexibility in
the use of these existing large buildings. The 21�` Avenue SW and SW Campus Drive/SW 336�'
Street area is unique relative to the other BN zoned areas not only because of its size and nu�er of
large existing buildings, but it is also serviced by two ma.jor arterial streets (21�` Avenue SW & SW
Campus DrivelSW 336�` Street).
Addiriona.11y, health clubs generate less vehicu.laz �ips per day on a whole compazed. to retail uses
such as grocery stores, which are allowed within the BN zoning district with a maximazm size of
40,000 sq. ft.. For example, a 45,000 square-foot grocery store would generate 496 PM peak hour
trips, with an average daily trip rate of 4,404. In cor�arison, a health club of the same square
footage generates 182 PM peak hour trips and 1,482 average da.ily trips. However, a health club's

peak volumes are slightly higher than retail uses. The peak hours of traffic generarion for health
clubs occur between 6:00 p.m and 7:00 p.m.
As of December 31, 2009, Metropolitan Market, a 36,069 sq. ft. grocery store, in Area 4, plans to
close; and as a result, there will be an additional larger scale vacant building in the BN zone. Future

VIII. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section analyzes the
compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments (Option 2) with the criteria providedby FWRC
19.80.130. The City may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
compre}�ensive plan.
LiJGl
2.
3.
The praposed options for the FWRC text amenclment are consistent with the following Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies:
Improve the appearance and fimction of the built environment.
Use residentia.l design performance standards to maintain neighborhood
chara.cter and ens�e compattbility with surrounding uses.
LUPl
LUP44 Encourage neighborhood retail and personal services to locate at appropria.te
locations where local econox�ric demand and design solutions demonstrate
comparibility with the neighborhood,
LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of development regulations to determine how to
improve upon the perrrrit reviewprocess.
EDP10 The Ciry will work with the priva.te sector to actively encourage the retention and
expansion of existing businesses, as well as bring in new development,
businesses, and jobs to the community.
EDP18 The City will periodically monitor local a:nd. regional trends to be able to actjust
plans, policies, and progran�s.
EDP19 The City will actively work with representa.tive groups of business and praperly
owriers, including the Federal Way Chamber and other local business
associations, to enhance citywide and subazea im�rovemen.ts and planning.
The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
The proposed FWRC text amendment bears substantial rela.tianship to the public health, safery,
and welfare because it affords the ability for the re-use of larger vacant buildings which nra.y
otherrwise attract graffiti, vandalism, and various other public nuisances which would be
detrimental to the welfare and safety of neighborhoods within the general vicinity.
The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Approval of the proposed code amendment would benefit the city as a whole as it would aid in
economic develapment by provicling the appartwiity for the reuse of lazger elcisting vacant
buildings and allow for more recreational activities. It would also aid in econorrric development
by atlracting businesses and reduce the use of public funds for policing vacant buildings.

were no other nominations. The vote was held and he was elected unanimously.
CHANGE TO PLANNING COMMISSION RULES
Ms. Piety explained the proposed changes and reason for them. There are three proposed changes. Staff is
proposing to change the time of election for officers from October to the first regularly scheduled meeting of
the year. Holding elections in October is not intuitive and many times staff overlooks scheduling elections at
that time. Staff proposes to not state a particular month because the Commission only meets when there is
business to be conducted and they may not meet in the month named. Commissioner Elder commented that it
is a good idea to hold elections at the first of the year because new Commissioners are appointed in October
and this would give them time to get to know those who are nominated and be able to make an informed
choice. The second proposed change is to delete the word "tape" when it appears before "recording." The
meetings are and will continue to be recorded, but they are digital, not tape, recordings. The third proposed
change is to delete "Process IV" when it appears before "review." This refers to the type of land use process
and the speci�c number of that process has changed Staff does not propose to change the number (simply
delete it) in case it should change again in the future and because the word "review" by itself is an adequate
description. Commissioner Medhurst moved (and it was secondec� to adopt the purposed changes to the
Planning Commission Rules as presented. The motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARING — Proposed Deferment of Open Space Fee-in-Lieu and Regional Stormwater Facility Fee
Mr. Herrera delivered the staff presentation. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this issue on
November 4, 2009, and recommended to retain and codify the current policy of open space fee collection
prior to plat recording and regional stormwater facility fee collection prior to engineering approval. Following
the Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council's Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC)
has held two public meetings regarding this policy issue. At the November 16` meeting, the committee
requested Garrett Huffman of the Master Builders Association (MBA) and Sam Pace of the Seattle King
County Realtors to submit written comments on the issue and present those comments at the next LUTC
meeting. At the December 7` meeting, Mr. Huffinan and Mr. Pace submitted comments proposing to defer
the regional stormwater facility fee to point of sale for single family residential and Certificate of Occupancy
for commercial and multi-family development. The LUTC then returned the item back to the Planning
Commission far further proceedings.
Staff's recommendation remains unchanged from the original November 4, 2009, staff report to the Plarming
Commission. That report recommended to: retain and codify the existing policy of collecting open space fee-
in-lieu payments prior to final plat recording; and retain and codify the existing policy of collecting regional
stormwater facility fees prior to engineering approval.
Garrett Huffman, Master Builders Association — He commented he is confused why this issue
has come back to the Planning Commission at this point. It is his understanding that the council
feels all fees the city collects should be done through escrow and that they will be requesting
staff to prepare an ordinance regarding the collection of all fees. Given this, it seems the
Planning Commission should wait on this issue until the future ordinance.
Mr. Herrera commented that in regards to the School Impact Fee, the Federal Way Public Schools implements
the policy and the city simply collects the funds. In 2009, the council adopted an ordinance in regards to
Traffic Impact Fees and when they will be collected That ordinance becomes effective in June 2010. The
only two fees in question in regards to when they are collected are the open space fee-in-lieu and regional
stormwater facility fee. Mr. Fewins commented that staff understands that the LUTC's request is for staff to
re-present the question of when open space fee-in-lieu and regional stormwater facility fees are to be collected
to the Planning Commission and to include the comments from Mr. Huffman and Mr. Pace, which the
Planning Commission did not have at the last public hearing. Mr. Beckwith concurred
Corrunissioner Carlson commented that he is also confused because he thought that in the future all fees
would be in the same section of the city code. He does not see a need to collect all the fees at the same time.
He feels fees should be collected when the impact occurs. Chair Pfeifer went over Mr. Pace's comments and
stated he agrees with them on the surface.
Commissioner Bronson commented that it is his understanding that a developer has a choice about whether to
build their own stormwater facility or use a city facility and they would only pay the stormwater facility fee if
they chose to use a city facility. He does not think it is unreasonable to request the funds be paid u}� front.
Commissioner Elder commented that she feels the Commission made a thoughtful and right decision last time
and sees no reason to change that decision. Commissioner Long commented that stormwater facility fees are
comparatively small and he sees no reason why they cannot be paid up front.
Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was secondec� to recommended adoption of the staf�s recommendation
(Option 1) for the open space fee-in-lieu. The motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Bronson moved
(and it was secondec� to recommended adoption of the staff's recommendation (Option 1) for the regional
stormwater facility fee. The motion carried unanimously.
The public hearing was closed.

PuBLIC HEaRUVC — Amendment to Expand the Size of Health Clubs in the Neighborhood Business
(BN) Zone
Mr. Lee delivered the staff presentation. He went over the background of zoning for health clubs in Federal
Way. Currently, health clubs are allowed in the Neighbarhood Business (BN) zone with a 25,000 square foot
maximum size limitation. In 2008, a health club facility applied for a variance to exceed the square foot
limitation to occupy an existing vacant 43,061 square foot Albertson's building within the BN zone. The
application was ultimately denied by the hearings examiner. The city wants to improve the occupancy of
larger vacant buildings (such as the vacant Albertson's) and the tenant spaces in the BN zone, many of which
were built prior to the 1990 incorporation of Federal Way. The proposal is to amend the Federal Way
Revised Code (FWRC) Chapter 19.215 related to the size of health clubs in the Neighborhood Business (BN)
zone by adopting one of the following possible options:
1. Remove the square foot limitations for health clubs in all BN zones.
2. Remove square foot limitations for health clubs only for those parcels in the BN zone located
in the vicinity of 21 Avenue SW and SW Campus Drive.
3. Increase the square foot lixnitations for health clubs in all BN zones to 45,000 square feet, or;
4. Allow health clubs of more than 25,000 square feet within all BN zones with a Process IV
Hearing Examiner Decision and decisional criteria to assess potential impacts to adjacent
residential zones.
Mr. Lee went over the pros and cons of each option (found in the staff report). Staff recommends Option #2
because it serves the greatest good with the least amount of impact. Mr. Lee also stated that the city received
three email comments which may be found attached to the staff report. The meeting was then open to public
comment.
Michael Chen, Group McKenzie — He thanked the staff for their work. He supports the staff
recommendation.
Laurie Montgomery, Lighthouse Laundry Owner — She commented that the Albertson's building
has been vacant for over three years and has had a detrimental effect on all businesses in the area
(graffiti, vandalism, etc.). Other shopping centers in the area have been recently remodeled, leaving
the Albertson's area looking bad in comparison. It would be a win-win situation to have a health club
in the old Albertson's building. She and her husband (Patrick Montgomery) support the proposed
amendment.
Corrunissioner Elder expressed concern that the city would be "spot-zoning" with this proposal since it only
affects health clubs. Mr. Beckwith replied that since it does not identify a specific site, it is not spot-zoning.
Commissioner Elder asked if the city is discriminating on behalf of health clubs. Mr. Lee replied that different
zones throughout the city have different size requirements for different types of businesses.
Commissioner Bronson commented that there are only about six or seven properties in the entire BN zoning
districts that can accommodate a large building. Given this, he suggests the Commission consider Option # 1
(removing the square foot limitation for health clubs in all BN zones). Mr. Lee commented that staff has not
analyzed all the BN zones and therefore, do not l�ow for sure if there are only six or seven properties.
Commissioner Carlson agrees and stated that health clubs are a good fit for neighborhoocl businesses. Mr.
Fewins commented that staff does not object to Commissioner Bronson's proposal. Later this year, staff
intends a more comprehensive analysis of the BN zone, which may lead to additional proposed amendments.
In the meantime, the city council directed staff to address the health club size issue, hence the current proposal.

Commissioner Medhurst commented that the proposed amendment could help alleviate traffic in the city
center by keeping people closer to home. Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was secondec� to recommend
adoption of Option #2. The motion carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Requirements/Annual Report and SWMP
BACKGROUND:
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal per�rrit that regulates
stormwater and wastewater discharges to waters of the State. While it is a federal perririt, the regulatory
authority lies with Washington State Deparhnent of Bcology (DOE).
The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington was issued by DOE on
January 17, 200? and went into effect on February 15, 2007. The permit requires that all affected
municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which addresses five
required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public Involvement and Pa.rticipation,
3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction Site Run-Off, and 5) Operations and
Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities. While the Perrrrit went into effect in February of
2007, the perrrrit phases program implementation requirements through 2012.
In addirion to the SWMP, the pernrit also requires pernuttees to submit an Annual Report intended to
update the DOE on the status of the permittee's compliance with the NPDES Phase II Pernut. Annual
Reports must be submitted to DOE on or befare March 31 of each year.
Since the effective date of this permit, City staff has been working with the DOE and several regional
foruxns to deterrmne how to best meet the perinit requirements. City staff has prepared the following
documents to meet the 2009 SWMP and Annual Report requirements as specified under the permit.
• The SWMP descnbes the City's applicable existing progranis, as well as the plan to update and
modify these programs as necessary to meet the requirements of the perrrut. The SWMP is a
planning document which will be updated each year. The SWMP is considered a draft document
until the final document has been approved and supporting ordinances have been adapted by City
Council in 2011.
• The Annual Report is primarily a 94 item checklist intended to illustrate the CiTy's compliance
with the NPDE5 Phase II Permit. [Note: Pursuant to the guidance provided by the Department of
Ecology, the answer "Yes" was only used when the program is fullv implemented The answer,
"No" or `�1A" and brief comments were used to describe the status of all other permit
requirements.]

BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal permit authorized
under the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 (as amended in 1977) that regulates stormwater and
wastewater discharges to waters of the State. While NPDES is a federal permit, it is primarily
administered by state governments. The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for
Western Washington was issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology on January 17,
2007 and went into effect on February 16, 2007.
While there are several types of NPDES permits, the municipal permit is intended to reduce the
impacts from both point source (i.e. construction site run-of� and non-point source pollution
carried by stormwater. Construction site run-off and non-point source pollution, such as oils and
metals from cars, fertilizers and pesticides from lawns, soaps from car washes and pet waste are
major contributors to water quality degradation in our lakes, streams, wetlands and the Puget
Sound.
One of the major requirements under the Municipal NPDES Permit is that all affected
municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which
addresses five required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public
Tnvolvement and Participation, 3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction
Site Run-Off, and 5) Operations and Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities.
While the permit went into effect in February of 2007, the permit phases program
implementation requirements through 2012.
On June 17, 2009, the Washington State Department of Ecology iss�ed a general permit
modification to address outcomes of appeals and orders made by the Pollution Control Hearings
Board. This Westem Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit modification became
effective on July 17, 2009.

NPDES Phase II Storm��er Management Program
INTRODUCTION
'This document has been prepared to meet the City of Federal Way's Westerri Washington Phase
II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit) requirement for development of a Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP) identified in Section SS.A.2 of the Permit.
The City's SWMP provides guidance on reducing the discharge of pollutants from the City's
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), meet
Washington State's All Known and Reasonable Technology (AKART) requirements, and protect
water quality once it is fully implemented.
Many of the required SWMP elements are already being implemented by the City. The City
gathers, tracks, maintains and uses information on an on-going basis to facilitate development of
the SWMP, its implementation, Permit compliance, and to set surface water related priorities.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Permit, the SWMP is updated annually. The SWMP is a draft
document and is used as a planning tool until such time as the SWMP and any supporting
ordinances have been formally adopted by the City of Federal Way City Council.
Relation�hip to 1995 Surface Water Mana�ement Comprehensive Plan
The following SWMP should be considered a draft update to Chapter III (Surface Water Utility
Programs) of the City of Federal Way 1995 Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan.
The other chapters of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan are still in effect.
Page 2 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm��ter Management Program
SECTION 1- PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
"The SWMP shall include an education program aimed at residents, businesses, industries,
elected officials, policy makers, planning staff and other employees of the City. The goal of the
education program will be to reduce or eliminate behaviors and practices that cause or
contribute to adverse stormwater impacts. The City's education program may be developed
locally or regionally. "(Permit Requirement S5. G 1)
Pursuant to Permit Requirement SS.C.l.a., a Public Education and Outreach Program must be
in place by February 16, 2009.
The City of Federal Way maintains an active Public Education and Outreach Prograxn. The City
uses a variety of approaches to inform residents and businesses about stormwater pollution
prevention, stewardship opportunities, capital improvement projects, watershed planning and
maintenance activities, engaging both citizens and stakeholde�s alike.
The Surface Water Management Division (SWM) is actively producing and distributing public
educational materials (i.e. posters, press releases, brochures, booklets and flyers) on a variety of
subjects related to improving water quality. All SWM publications are available on the web at
http://www.cityoffederalway.com/S WM.
I. Targeted Audiences and Subject Areas
(Permit Requirement SS.C.I.a)
SWM's programs target a wide variety of audiences and subject areas. The progra,tns are
arganizecl by targeted audiences and subject areas as iclentified in Section SS.C.l.a of the
Permit.
A. The General Public
l. Irnpacts of Stormwater Flows into Surface Waters and Impacts from Impervious
Surfaces
Impacts of impervious surfaces and resulting stormwater flows axe addressed in
several ways within SWM's existing public education, outreach and involvement
programs, including through our quarterly newsletter (The Water Log), web
pages, catch basin curb markers, charity car wash kit program, natural yard care
workshops, pet waste brochures and local government access channel (Channel
21) programming and public service announcements.
Further, SWM staff is actively involved in The STORM Group (the Regional
NPDES Education and Outreach Forum) and implementing the regional
stormwater educational campaign Puget Sound Starts Here. The STORM Group
is a group of public education and outreach professionals from Phase I and Phase
II jurisdictions within the greater Puget Sound area, working together to share
and develop education and outreach programs and research. The STORM Group

coordinates its regional stormwater education campaign efforts with the Puget
Sound Partnership.
B. Source Control BMPs, Environmental Stewardship Actions, Pet Waste, Vehicle
Maintenance, Landscaping and Buffers
1. Source Control BMPs
a. Construction Site Erosion Control Brochure
SWM has developed an erosion/sedimentation control educational brochure
targeting single family contractors. The brochure outlines erosion control
inspection processes and provides details on the standard best management
practices (BMPs). The brochure is provided with all new single family
construction permits, and distributed during the preconstruction conference.
b. Restaurant Industry Poster
The Good Cleaning Practices for the Restaurant Industry Poster describes
industry specific waste disposal and cleaning best management practices in
three languages; English, Spanish and Korean. The poster is designed to
reduce the number of illicit discharges from restaurant businesses. The
posters were originally delivered to all restaurants within the City of Federal
Way in 2004 and are were re-distributed to all current restaurants and
property owners/managers in November and December of 2009. The
posters are also handed out, when appropriate, through the Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program.
c. Auto Inclustry Poster
The Good Cleaning Practices for the Automotive Industry Poster describes
industry specif c waste disposal and cleaning best management pr�ctices.
The poster is intended to reduce the number of illicit discharges from
automotive businesses. The posters were hand delivered to a11 auto industry
businesses within the City of Federal Way in 2004 and 2007, and continue
to be handed out through the IDDE Program, when appropriate.
d. Catch Basin Curb Marker Program
Through this program, local youth organizations, like Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts and other special interest groups, volunteer to glue these colorful
four inch plastic markers to curbs, sidewalks or roads adjacent to catch
basins in residential neighborhoods. The program is designed to raise
awareness that all City storm drains flow to natural waterways.
e. Charity Car Wash Program
Page 4 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormv�aler Management Program
As a proactive measure to educate and assist the public interested in holding
charity car wash events, the City maintains the Fish Friendly Car Wash
Program. The program offers two "fish friendly" car wash alternatives: 1)
Sell charity car wash tickets through the Puget Sound Car Wash
Association; and 2) Check out car wash kits free of charge. Kits are
borrowed from the City for charity events held within the City. The kits are
designed to divert wash water to the sanitary sewer system. The program
also disseminates public education materials in the form of letters, flyers
and press releases targeted at local charities and special interest groups, as
well as local businesses.
f. Mobile Business Pollution Prevention Brochure
This brochure identifies Best Management Practices for mobile businesses
such as landscapers, cleaning services, and auto detailers. It specifies ways
to properly dispose of wash water, dispose of chemicals, clean up spills, and
practice environmental friendly landscaping techniques.
2. Environmental Stewardship
a. Pet Waste Brochure
The pet waste brochure identifies the numerous adverse impacts pet waste
can have on water quality and describes environmentally friendly clisposal
techniques. Pet waste brochures are displayed at local parks, pet stores and
veterinary clinics. In addition, pet waste signs are posted and collection
bags are provided in City parks.
Pet waste impacts are also addressed througli the STORM Group's regional
storm�vater education campaign.
b. Don't Feed the Ducks or Geese Poster
This poster was created by King County and displays four re�sons not to
feed the ducks or geese. Posters are on display at local lakes and ponds and
are distributed to North and Steel Lake residents annually as a part of their
agu�tic weecl management programs. This year they were also distributed
to a�I residents on Easter Lake. They are designed to recluce nutrient
loading and other harmful impacts resulting from feeding waterfowl.
c. Be a Lake Steward Flyer
The lake steward flyer encourages lake residents to adopt or modify
residential practices and behaviors to help improve water quality in local
lakes. The flyer is distributed annually to residents of North Lake and Steel
Lake as part of the Lake Management District programs.
d. Stream Team
Page 5 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormv�er Management Program
Through this volunteer program, residents and interested parties regularly
check out water quality monitoring kits and conduct basic water quality
tests in local streams. The program is designed to raise awareness on the
health of streams and encourage stewardship. These groups also report any
adverse conditions or illicit discharges they may observe.
e. Lakota Creek Clean Up
During this annual spring event, volunteers and SWM staff walk the Lakota
Creek stream corridor removing litter and debris which can degrade water
quality, and cause flooding or channel erosion. Participants are educated on
the adverse impacts of litter and other pollutants on stream health and
stability.
f. Invasive Plant Removal
SWM coordinates seasonal volunteer events to hand remove invasive plants
from our stream and wetland restoration areas. Participants are taught the
importance of allowing native plants to thrive in these areas.
3. Vehicle Maintenance
Household Stormwater Pollution Prevention Brochure: This brochure describes
a series of household practices designed to reduce stormwater pollution impacts.
These practices include environmentally friendly yard care, and home and
vehicle maintenance techniques. This brochure was created through grant
funding provided by the Washington State Department of Ecology's Local
Government Stortnwater Grant.
Vehicle maintenance is also addressed through the STORM Group's regional
stormwater education campaign.
4. Landscaping & Buffers
a. Natural I'a�d Care
Each year, the City of Federal Way, puts on a Natural Yard Care Program.
The program offers a series of three workshops to teach residents
environmentally friendly lawn and garden care techniques. In addition,
Yarcl Talk, and other Natural Yard Care programming are run on Federal
Way's local government access channel (Channel 21). .
b. Lake Friendly Landscape Brochure
SWM staff, in cooperation with the Washington State Lake Protection
Association, have updated the "Blueprint for a Lake Friendly Landscape"
brochure. The brochure describes native planting alternatives, encaurages
the creation of native landscape buffers along the shoreline and discourages

stream front property owners.
C. The General Public and Businesses (including mobile & home based)
1. BMPs for Use and Storage of Automotive Chemicals, Hazardous Cleaning
Supplies, Car Wash Soaps and Hazardous Materials
Several of SWM's existing programs address the BMPs for the use and storage
of automotive chemicals, cleaning supplies, hazardous materials and car wash
soaps including: the Auto Industry Poster, the Restaurant Iniiustry Poster, the
Fish Friendly Car Wash Program and articles in "The Water Log". In addition,
the Household Stortnwater Pollution Prevention and Mobile Business Pollution
Prevention brochures address several of these topics.
2. Impacts of Illicit Discharges and How to Report Thern
a. The Spill Hotline
The City's 24-Hour Spill Hotline was publicizad in 2008 through a press
release, and is continually publicized in the Household Stormwater
Pollution Prevention brochure, the Mobiie Business Pollution Prevention
brochure, and SWM's quarterly newsletter (The Water Log). The Spill
Hotline is also posted on the City's main web page
(www.cityoffederalway.com).
The impacts from illicit discharges and how to report them are also
addressed in both the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Brochure,
Household Stormwater Pollution Prevention brochure and in periodic
articles within The Water Log. Both subjects are also covered in depth on
the City's Surface Water Management website
(www.cityoffederalway. comiswm).
D. Homeowners, i.andscapers and Property Managers
1. Yard Care Techniques Protective of Water Quality and BMPs for Use and
Storage of Pesticides and Fertilizers
The existing Natural Yaxd Care Program targets homeowners and residential use
of pesticides and fertilizers and encourages environmentally friendly techniques.
Page 7 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormv��er Management Program
The City targets landscaping firms through the Mobile Business Pollution
Prevention brochure, the existing Natural Yard Care Program, or through the
efforts of the STORM Group and the Puget Sound Starts Here campaign. The
City's local government access channel also runs Natural Yard Care programs
seasonally in an effort to reach landscapers and property managers, as well as
homeowners.
2. BMPs for Carpet Cleaning and Auto Repair and Maintenance
These topics are primarily addressed through the Auto Industry Poster, the Catch
Basin Curb Marker Program, The Fish Friendly Car Wash Program, the Nlobile
Pollution Prevention brochure, and periodic articles in "The Water Log". SWM
currently does not specifically target carpet cleaning activities but focuses on
proper disposal of all types of waste washwater.
3. Low Impact Development (LID)Techniques
In 2008 the City of Federal Way worked with a consultant, funded through a
technical assistance grant from the Puget Sound Partnership, to develop
recommendations for integrating LID techniques into the City's development
regulations. The City plans to create educational materials to promote the use of
these LID techniques once they have been integrated and adopted into the
development regulations.
�WM staff is also examining different existing educ�tional materials on LID
techniques and design standards, including WSU Extension's "Rain Garden
Handbook" and the Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for
Puget Sound.
4. Stormwater Pond Maintenance
Through SW1V�'s annual private storm sy�tem inspection program, SWM
inspectors conduct inspections and identify maintenance requirements of multi-
family and commercial properties with known flow control facilities. Education
of the property owners on maintenance benefits and needs is done by our
inspectors through verbal communication, postcards, letters and correction
notices. In addition, a Maintenance Manual for Private Stormwater Systems is
available to facility owners on SWM's main web page.
E. Engineers, Contractors, Developers, Review Staff and Land Use Planners
1. Technical Standards for Stormwater & Erosion Control Plans
Technical standards and BMPs for stormwater and erosion control are available
on the City's webpage (www.cityoffederalway.com/swm). In addition, a Single
Family Erosion Control Brochure is attached to all single family construction
permits and distributed by inspection staff.
Page 8 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm�ter Management Program
2. Low Impact Development Techniques
In 2008 City of Federal Way worked with a consultant, funded through a
technical assistance grant from the Puget Sound Partnership, to develop
recommendations for integrating LID techniques into the City's development
regulations. These recommendations are being evaluated. In 2010, City Code
will for the use of LID techniques without the need for special approval.
II. Measure Understanding
(Permit Requirement S5. C.1. b)
Each Permittee shall measure the understanding and adoption of the targeted behaviors for
at least one targeted audience in at deast one subject area.
Surface Water Management's existing Education and Outreach Program is designed to
achieve measurable improvements in the target audience's understanding of stormwater and
water quality impacts and what they can do to help reduce or prevent these impacts.
Specifically, the Education and Outreach Program is designed to raise awareness by
identifying problems (potential pollutant sources) and to change behaviors by identifying
and encouraging the adoption of practices and behaviors to improve andlor protect water
quality.
The following education and outreach program evaluations were conducted in 2009:
A. Natural Yard Care
Pre and post knowledge surveys to identify attendee's retention of natural yard care
techniques are conducted each year during the City of Federal Way's Natural Yard
Care (NYC) Program. The effectiveness of the NYC Program has been thorou
evaluated and its success is well documented.
B. Restaurant Industry Poster
A survey was conclucted in 2048 to determine how well the behaviors/practices
identified within the City's Restaurant Industry Poster are being adopted. Based on
the results of the survey, the City has redistributed the poster and expanded the target
audience to include property owners and proper managers.
C. Fish Friendly Car Wash Program
City staff uses tracking information (number of car wash kits checked out each year)
to evaluate utilization of the program. The evaluation shows consistent and, at times,
dramatic increases in the utilization of the car wash kits since the City began tracking
this program in 2005.
III. Track and Maintain Records
(Permit Requirement SS.C.l.c)
Page 9 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm��ter Management Program
In 2008 SWM staff developed and implemented a spreadsheet for tracking education and
outreach activities pursuant to the NPDES permit requirements. This tracking system
continues to be used.

NPDES Phase II Storrn�a�ter Management Program
SECTION 2- PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION
"The SWMP shall include ongoing opportunities for public involvement through advisory
councils, watershed committees, participation in developing rate-structures, stewardship
programs, environmental activities or other similar activities. Each Permittee shall comply with
applicable State and locaZ public notice requirements when developing their SWMP. "(Permit
Requirement SS.C.2)
Pursuant to Permit Requirements SS.C.2.a., an on-going Public Participation Program must be
initiated by February 16, 2008.
The City of Fecleral Way encourages residents and interesteci parties to participate in the decision
making processes invoiving the update and implementation of the City's Stormwater
1Vlanagement Program (SWMP), as well as other public involvement and participation
opportunities offered by the City. The City of Federal Way believes public involvement and
participation are important to promoting stewardship of both the City and its natural
environments. Through public involvement, citizens help make a difference in their quality of
life and the quality of onr natural habitats and waterways.
I. Public Participation in Development of SWMP
(Permit Requirement SS. C.2.a & b)
The City of Federal Way Surface Water Management Utility is well established �vith an
existing rate structure a.nd all of the Permit prograrns (i.e. Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination, Public Education & Outreach, Constructian Site Run-off Inspection, Post
Construction Stormwater Inspection, etc.) alreac�y in place. As a result, large scale changes
to SWM's existing programs and ordinances are not expected. SWM programs will
continue to be updated to meet permit requirements.
Ongoing opportunities for public participation in the development of the SWMP are
available through the following venues:
A. Pnblic Notices
Public Notices are posted in the local newspaper, the Federal Way Mirror. Notices
identify opportunities for public participation in the development of the SWIVIP in the
form of a website address, e-mail and phone contact information.
B. SWM Newsletter
The quarterly SWM newsletter, `The Water Log", is used to raise awareness of the
Permit requirements, update the public on the development of the SWN� and solicit
comments.
C. SWM Webpage
A link to the NPDES Phase II webpage was added to SWM's webpage
(www.cityoffederalway.com/swm) in 2007. The NPDES Phase II webpage provides a

general description of the Permit, describes the progress on the development of the
SWMP and displays the updated SWMP and the Annual Reports as they become
available. The City's webpage also provides links to SWM's existing programs and
provides opportunities for public comment and participation via e-mail.
D. Public Meetings
Stakeholders Meeting
The a.nnual public meeting of the development, permitting and zoning
stakeholders (i.e. engineers, architects, developers, business owners, utilities and
public school representatives) is used to assess the City's permitting process as
well as provide updates on NPDES requirements.
2. Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC)
An opportunity for participation in the development of SV�MP is also available
to City residents through LUTC meetings. The LUTC reviews many of the
programmatic and policy changes proposed under the SWMP and allows public
comment on all of their agenda items. The LUTC meets the first and third
Monday of each month. Meeting times and agendas can be accessed through the
City Calendar webpage
(http://www.cityoffederalway.com/page.aspx?view=192).
�. City Council
Many of the programmatic and policy changes related to the S�VMP must be
revi�wed and approved by City Council. Public comments are accepted during
all City Council rneetings. [Note: City Council or the LUTC can schedule
additional public meetings if they deem it necessary to allow for public
comment/participation.] The City Council meets on the first and third Tuesday
of each month. Meeting times and agendas can be accessed through the City
Calendar webpage (htt�•//www cityoffederalwa�com/page.as�x?view=192).
4. Parties of Record
In addition to the State public noticing requirements, SWM maintains a Party of
Record List. Parties of Record are notified of all new information and public
meetings relating to the SWMP.
II. Evaluation of Public Comments
(Permit Requirement SS.C.2.a)
No public comments have been received to date. When public comments are received, they
will be categorized by topic and evaluated based on quantity and pertinence to the subject
matter. Public comments will be addressed in the annual SWMP updates.

NPDES Phase II Storm�v��r Management Program
SECTION 3- ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
"The SWMP shall include an ongoing program to detect and remove illicit connections,
discharges as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(2), and improper disposal, including any spills not
under the purview of another responding authority, into the municipal separate storm sewers
owned or operated by the Permittee. Permittees shall fully implement an ongoing illicit
discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) program no later than 180 days prior to the
expiration date of this Permit. "(Permit Requirement SS.C.3)
Pursuant to Permit Requirement SS.C.3., a series of phased deadlines are created for the
implementation of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Progf-am beginning with the
creation of the Illicit Discharge Hotline required as of February 16, 2009.
The City of Federal Way maintains an active Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
program. The City actively investigates prohibited discharges and illicit connections to the
City's stormwater system in an effort to improve water quality in the City's surface water
resources. Through this program, areas throughout the City are targeted for water quality
inspections based on their potential impacts to the City's surface waters.
I. Municipal Storm Sewer Map
(Permit Requirement SS. C.3.a)
The City of Federal Way maintains a comprehensive map of the City's municipal separate
storm sewer system (MS4) pursuant to the requirements of sections SS.C.3.a. of the Permit
prior to the required deadline of February 16, 201 l. The City has mapped approximately
85% of all known MS4 structures, and has mapped 100% of all known receiving waters.
The City is currently working toward completing this effort by physically surveying all
remaining MS4 structures using mobile GIS/GPS and incorporating these data into ESRI
ArcView.
Advances in the City's mapping and database management programs in 2008 were made
possible through funding provided by a Washington State I?e}�a:rtxnent of Ecology Local
Governme�t Stormwater grant.
II. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Ordinance
(Permit Requirement SS.G3.b)
Since 1999, the City of Federal Way has had regulatory mechanisms in place (Chapter 21
of FWCC) that required the implementation of the best known, available, and reasonable
management practices to prevent the contamination of stormwater, surface water, and
groundwater.
On August 16, 2009 the City adopted and implemented Ordinance 09-619 in order to meet
all of the requirements of section SS.C3:b of the Permit. The new ordinance effectively
prohibits all of the categories of non-stormwater discharges listed in the permit and includes
escalating enforcement procedures and actions pursuant to those outlined in FWRC 16.45,
16.50, and 16.55.
Page 14 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm��er Management Program
If a violation has been committed, Title 16, Chapters 16.45, 16.50, and 16.55 will be
enforced, as necessary, using Title 1 FWRC, Chapter 1, Enforcement of Code. Chapter 1
establishes an efficient, civil administrative system to enforce the development of
regulations of the City.
III. Implementation of IDDE
(Permit Requirement SS.C.3.c)
The City maintains an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program which detects
and addresses non-stormwater discharges to the City's storm system.
A. Identify Priority Areas
T'he City has located and iclentified priority areas likely to have illicit discharges. The
evaluation was based upon a prioritization of sub-watersheds using eight individual
illicit discharge potential (IDP) screening factors. A raw IDP score for each sub-
wate�shed was established which allowed for a priority ranking.
Field assessments of three high priority water bodies will begin no later than February
11, 201 l, pursuant to Permit requirements.
B. Assessment/Inspection of Priority Outfalls
The City will develop procedures to assess and inspect priority outfalls as described
within Section SS.C.3.c.ii of the Permit in priority areas likely to have illicit
discharges. This eleme�t of the IDDE program will be implemented by August 19,
2011.
C. Procedures Characterizing Nature & Environmental Threat Posed by Illicit Discharges
The City curre�tly implements a program to detect and address illicit discharges to the
1VIS4. This program includes a system to record illicit discharges and citizen
complaints. The progra�n also includes a regulatory. mechanism that effectively
prohibits non-stormwater illegal discharges, and/or dumping into the City's MS4 to
the maximum extent allowable under State and federal law through FWRC. This
program is used to evaluate whether the discharge should be immediately contained,
and includes steps to be taken for containment of the discharge.
The City has developed IDDE procedures regarding the characterization of the nature
and environmental threat posed by illicit discharges to determine compliance with
Section SS.C.3.c.iii of the Permit.
D. Procedures for Tracing the Source of Illicit Discharges
City staff has developed IDDE procedures for tracing the source of illicit discharges to
meet the requirements and timelines required under Section SS.C.3.c.iv of the Permit.
Page 15 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storn�v��r Management Program
The City's existing IDDE program identifies and traces illicit discharges using visual
inspections, mobile cameras, smoke testing, dye testing, and water sampling
throughout the MS4.
E. Procedures for Removing Source of Illicit Discharges
City staff has developed IDDE procedures for removing sources of contamination to
meet the requirements and timelines required under Section SS.C.3.c.v of the Permit.
The existing IDDE program includes notification of appropriate authorities,
notification of property owners, technical assistance for eliminating the discharge,
follow-up inspections, and escalating enforcement and legal actions if the discharge is
not eliminated.
IV. IIIDDE Education (Hazards Associated with Illicit Discharges)
(Permit Requirement SS.C.3.d)
The City's existing Publ•ic Education and Outreach Program includes educational materials
designed to prevent illicit discharges by educating business owners and employees on best
management practices and waste disposal techniques (e.g. see Restaurant Industry Poster
and Auto Industry Poster descriptions in Section 1 of this SWMP).
A. Distribution of Materials
The City has developed IDDE educational materials that identify the hazards
associated with illicit discharges. Examples of these materials include the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention brochure, Surface Water Management's IDDE webpages, and the
Fish Friendly car wash materials.
B. Publicly L.ist Phone Number for Reporting Spills
The Ci#y's Public VVorks Department main number (253-835-2700) is publicly listed
for reporting spills or illicit discharges. If this number is called after normal business
hours, it identifies an a$er hours number (253-946-6416) which can be called for
reporting after hour spills. This number has been publicized on the web, in The Water
Log, and other educational materials.
V. IDDE Assessment, Evaluation and Tracking
(Permit Reguirement SS. G 3. e)
The City's existing IDDE program tracks and documents information regarding spi11 types,
number of spills, illicit discharge types, number of illicit discharges, and inspections.
City staff continues to develop and implement procedures to fully track, assess and evaivate
the IDDE program. Completion of this effort is expected by August 19, 2011.
VI. Municipal Field Staff Training
(Permit Requirement SS.C.3�
Page 16 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm�v�t�r Management Program
A. IDDE Level A Training (SS.C.3.f.i.)
Through the City's existing IDDE program training has been provided to all field staff
responsible for identification, investigation, termination, cleanup and reporting of
illicit discharges.
B. IDDE Level B Training (SS.C.3.f.ii.)
Training has been provided for municipal field staff, which as a part of their normal
duties may- observe an illicit discharge. This level of training focuses on the
identification of illicit discharges/connections and how to report or respond to these
illicit discharges/connections. This level of training is required for affected field staff
from the following City departments: Public Works, Community Development, Parks
and Recreation, and Public Safety.
The City will provide necessary follow-up training as needed to address changes in
procedures, techniques or requirements. All training records (including course
information and the staff trained) will be documented and maintained.

SECTION 4- CONTROLLING RUNOFF FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES
"Each Permittee shall develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff to a regulated small MS4 from new development, redevelopment and
construction site activities. This program shall be applied to all sites that disturb a land area
one acre or greater, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan
of the development or sale. The program shall apply to private and public development,
including roads. The "Technical Thresholds " in Appendix 1 shall be applied to all sites one
acre or greater, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of
the development or sale. "(Permit Requirement SS.C.4)
Pursuant to Permit Requirement SS.C.4.a., a construction site runoff program must be in place
by February 16, 2010.
The City of Federal Way recognizes that construction site run-off is a major contributor to water
quality degradation in the greater Puget Sound region. To address this issue and to better protect
our natural waterways, the City's current construction site run-off program already exceeds the
minimum requirements of the Permit in many respects. Construction site run-off is reviewed and
inspected for all construction projects, ranging from single family structures to large commercial
developments. The responsibility for plan review and inspection are shared between the Surface
Water Management and Development Services Divisions of the Public Works Department.
Progr�m Ordinance and Enforcement Mechanisms
(Permit Requirement SS.G4.a)
A. Minimum Requirements, Technical Thresholds and Definitions
The 1998 King County Stormwater Design Manual as amended by Federal Way
Revised City Code 16.20.010 is the current stanc�ard enforoed by development revie�v
and inspection staff when evaluating stormwater and erosion control requirements for
all construction projects in the City. Thresholds for permit review are determined by
the City's Land Modification Code (Chapter 19.120) and the 2046 International
Builcling Code.
The City has adopted the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual, effective
on February 16, 2010, which has been deemed as an equivalent to the Washington
State Department of Ecology's (DOE) 2405 Stormwater Manual.
B. Site Planning Process &. BMP Selection
Currently, the City u�es the 1998 King County Manual for BMP selection and design
criteria. The current site planning process is established in Chapter 19 of Federal Way
Revised City Code. The City's BMP selection and the site planning process will be
updated through the adoption of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual
(2009 KCSWDM).
C. Legal Authority to Conduct Inspections
Page 18 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm105 r Management Program
The legal authority to conduct inspections on new developments is granted during
construction pursuant to an access agreement allowed under Federal Way City Code
(FWRC) 19.25.080. Authority to conduct post construction inspection of private
drainage facilities discharging to the City's storm system from new development is
established through drainage covenants, conditions attached to the final permit, and
through FWRC 16.10.065.
D. Provisions to Allow Low Impact Development (LID) or Other Non-Structural
Improvements
Non-structural preventive actions and source control improvements measures, such as
LID, are currently allowed through the variance process. However, as of February 16,
2010, no variance will be required.
In 2008 City of Federal Way worked with a consultant, funded through a technical
assistance grant from the Puget Sound Partnership, to develop recommendations for
integrating LID techniques into the City's development regulations. These
recommendations are being evaluated for implementation.
E. Erosivity Waiver
The City of Fec�eral Way has evaluated the option of creating an Erosivity Waiver as
described within Appendix i of the Permit. The Erosivity Waiver is designed
primarily for arid areas, such as Eastern Washington and has a very limited
applicability to Federal Way given our existing soil types arid rainfall pattems. As a
result, the City has decided not to make this option available in the site plan review
requirements.
II. Permitting Process: Review, Inspection and Enforcement
(Permit Requirement S5. C.4. b)
The City's existing permitting process includes plan review, inspection and enfarcement
capabilities which rneet the majority of the requirements of the Permit as described below.
City staff is refining this process to determine how best to modify our existing program to
meet the needs of the City and the requirements of the Permit.
A. Review of Stormwater Site Plans
The Development Services Division of Public Works ensures that development within
the City of Federal Way meets current City codes and development standards.
Development Services works to accomplish this goal by being involved in all types
and phases of development within the City, providing technical project review, project
permitting and construction inspection. Code authority to conduct site plan review is
granted through the Subdivision and Zoning Codes (FWRC 18.Q5.010 and 19.05.005).
The Development Services Division site plan review process includes review criteria
for both stormwater design and construction site erosion sedimentation control (King
County Surface Water Design Manual 1998). The 2009 KCSWDM will be used
beginning February 16, ZO10.
Page 19 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storm�v��er Management Program
B. Site Inspection Prior to Clearing and Grading
The responsibility for construction site inspection is divided between two divisions of
the Public Works Department. The Development Services inspectors are responsible
for inspection of plats, multi-family and commercial development, and the Surface
Water Management inspectors are responsible for conducting erosion control
inspection for all single family construction. Prior to any clearing and grading activity
on the construction site, a Pre-construction Inspection is conciucted with the contractor
to review initial erosion control requirements and the inspection process.
C. Erosion Sedimentation Control Inspection During Construction
A minimum of two erosion control inspections are conducted by City inspection staff
between the Pre-construction Meeting/Inspection ancl Final Inspection to ensure
erosion control measures are being implemented and mainta.ined throughout
construction of the project.
D. Final Inspection of Development Sites Upon Completion of Construction
A final erosion control inspection is conducted prior to final building permit approval
of single-family, multi-family and commercial construction.
E. Inspection History/Record Keeping
Records of inspections are currently being kept through a database permit tracking
system. � �
F. Eriforcement Strategy
The ability to conduct enforcement of erosion control ar�d storrnwater requi�ements is
p�ovided within the City's existing development review and inspection process
(FWRC 1.15.010 through 1.15.100 and Intemational Building Code R113 and R114).
Inspectors have the ability �nd discretion to issue verbal or written correctio�s
depending on the scale of the problem and to issue Stop Work Orders/Notices of
Violation if corrections are not completed or if significant violations are discovered.
City staff has reviewed enforcement codes and the enforcement strategies between the
two inspection teams and has made modifications to these inspection programs to
develop a common enforcement strategy, as well as provide training to ensure these
strategies are consistently applied.
Page 20 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stom�w�er Management Program
G. Erosivity Waiver
As discussed previously, the City will not be adopting the Erosivity Waiver option
identified in the Permit due to its limited applicability in this area.
III. Inspection Program to Verify Long-Term Operation & Maintenance of Stormwater
Facilities
(Permit Requirement SS.C.4.c)
A. Adoption of Ordinance or Enforceable Mechanism
An enforceable mechanism requiring �ong-term operation and maintenance of storm
systems on new developments is in place. Covenants are attached to all new
developments with stormwater detention and flow control facilities at the time of final
approval. The covenant allows access for inspection and requires long term operation
and maintenance of stormwater facilities (FWRC 16.36.020 and 16.35.030).
B. Establish Maintenance Standards
Maintenance standards for private stormwater systems are available on the SWM's
main webpage (www.cityoffederalway.corn/swm). City staff are reviewing the
existing maintenance standards to ensure they meet the standards specified in Chapter
4 of Volume V of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington. City staff are also actively participating in the NPDES ROAD MAP
Forum (the NPDES Regional Operations and Maintenance Forum) to stay informed of
the review of existing regional maintenance standards.
C. Conduct Annual Inspections of Treatment & Flow Control Facilities
The City's e�cisting inspection program also includes annual post construction
inspection of all known private commercial stormwater treatment and flow control
facilities.
D. Inspection of Large Common Plan Development's Stormwater Facilities During
Residential Constructions
Under the existing system, all subdivisions and plannecl unit developments containing
storm systems are encouraged to dedicate these stormwater facilities to the City at the
time of final approval. The developer/owner is required to create and maintain a two-
year maintenance bond to ensure the owner continues to maintain these facilities
during the first two years (most often the heaviest construction period) following final
approval. SWM maintenance and inspection staff conducts periodic inspection of
these facilities during the period of the maintenance bond to identify the maintenance
needs and enforce compliance with maintenance standards. The City takes over
operation and maintenance of these facilities once the maintenance bond is released.
Page 21 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storn�v��r Management Program
SWM plans to evaluate and modify (if necessary) this existing program to ensure the
inspection frequency during the two year maintenance bond meets the minimum
requirements specified within the Permit.
IV. Tracking Inspections, Enforcements, Warnings and Violations
(Permit Requirement SS.C.4.d)
Records of inspections and enforcements regarding long term maintenance of private
stormwater systems are maintained under our existing inspection programs. However,
SWM staff are reviewing and evaluating our record keeping procedures in an effort to
simplify reporting on the different aspects of this program.
V. NPDES Forms Available to the Public
(Permit Requirement SS. C.4. e)
NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit Focus Sheets have been made available at
the City's Permit Center since June of 2007. Pursuant to a communication from the
Washington State Department of Ecology dated May 30, 2007, these focus sheets may be
made available to the public in lieu of the application (Notice of Intent). In addition, during
the development review process, the City's Development Services staff notifies developers
if the project meets the one acre threshold for the NPDES Construction Stormwater General
Permit.
VI. Verification Staff Responsible for Program Implementation axe Trained
(Perrnit Requirement SS.C.4�
All permanent construction site run-off inspection staff have attained or will attain t3�e
Certified Erosion Sedimentation Control Lead (CESCL) certification. Development review
staff and post construction inspection staff are trained under our existing development
review criteria and maintenance standards.

SECTION 5- POLLUTION PREVENTION AND OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
"Within three years of the effective date of this Permit, each Permittee shall develop and
implement an operations and maintenance (O&M) program that includes a training component
and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant run-off from municipal
operations. " (Permit Requirement SS.C.S.)
Pursuant to Permit Requirement SS. C.S., all elements of the operations and maintenance
program must be in place by F'ebruary 16, 2010.
The City of Federal Way maintains a proactive and effective maintenance program of the City's
drainage infrastructure, which includes catch basins, pipes, open channels, as well as residential
and regional retention/detention facilities. SWM conducts regular inspection and maintenance of
these facilities to ensure they are functioning properly — reducing the incidence of flooding and
providing water quality treatment.
I. 1Vlaintenance Standards
(Permit Requirement SS.GS.a)
The Surface Water 1VIanagement Division has maintenance standards in place prior to the
effective date of this Permit (Stormwater System Operations & Maintenance Manual,
KCM. June 1997). Regular maintenance of SWM's facilities is conducted by SWM
Maintenance staff consistent with the adopted standards to ensure stormwater facilities are
functioning properly.
SWM staff are currently evaluating the City's existing maintenance standards in
comparison to regionai standards (the Regional Road Maintenance ESA Program
Guidelines and Chapter 4 of the 2005 Storrnwater Management Manual for Western
Washington) to determine what changes are necessary to meet the minimum requirements
of this Permit. In addition, SWNI staff is actively participating in the Regional NPDES
O&M Forum, known as NPDES ROAD MAP, which is also evaluati�g regional
maintenance standarcls for compliance with NPDES perrnit requirements.
II. AnnualInspections
(Permit Requirement SS. C.S. b)
Under SWM's existing program, all known municipally owned or operated stormwater
treatment and flow control facilities are inspected and maintained at a minimum, annually.
All known City owned or operated stormwater retention/detention ponds are currently
inspected and maintair�ed twice a year.
SWM staff is currently developing an Operations and Maintenance record keeping system
to track all required inspections and maintenance of the City's stormwater facilities. The
tracking system will be implemented prior to the February 16, 2010 deadline.
Page 23 of 26
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Storn�v��r Management Program
maintenance yards, and stormwater treatment and flow control facilities. Policies and
procedures to be addressed include: application of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides,
sediment and erosion control, landscape maintenance, vegetation disposal, and cleaning and
maintenance of building exteriors.
VIII. Develop & Implement On-Going Training
(Permit Requirement SS.C.S.h)
The City is developing an on-going training program for employees whose construction,
operations or maintenance job functions may impact water quality. The training program
will address the importance of protecting water quality, the requirements of this Permit,
operations and maintenance standards, inspection procedures, BMP selection, ways to
perform their job activities to prevent or minimize impacts to water quality and procedures
for reporting water quality concerns, including potential illicit discharges. The City will
provide follow-up training as needed to address changes in procedures, techniques or
requirements. The City will also track and maintain records of training provided.
The broad scope of training will affect staff from most of the City Departments including
Public Works, Community Development, and Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services.
An ongoing training program will be in place by February i 6, 2010.
IX. Develop and Ixnplement SWPPPs (Heavy Equipment and Storage Yards)
(Permit Requirement SS. C. S. i)
The City is in the process of developing and implementing a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for ail heavy equipment maintenance or storage yards, and
material storage f�cilities owned ar operated by the City in are�s subject to the City's
Pernut that are not required to have coverage under the General NPDES Permit for
Stormwater Discharges Associated with Ind�strial Activities or another NPDES
Storm�vater permit. Implementation of non-structural BMPs will begin after the pollution
prevention plans are developed and a schedule for implementation of structural BMPs will
be included in the SWPPP. Generic SWPPPs that can be applied at multiple sites may be
used to comply with this reguirement. The SWPPP will include periodic visual observation
bf discharges from the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs. Al] SWPPPs will
be implemented by February 16, 2010 as required in the permit.

Redinquisl�ment of a Portion of S 320` St to the State of Washington
The S 320�` Street vacation was brought to LUTC on July 7, 2008 for the vacation of a portion of S 320�' Street to
Quadrant Corporation as a part of a small lot development on the north side of S 320`� Street, between 32"
Avenue South, and the South King Fire and Rescue Station No. 64. The vacation was brought to Council on
September 9, 2008, at which time a public hearing was held and the Council conditionally approved the vacation.
The conditions of the vacation were for Quadrant to relocate the utilities within the area proposed for vacation to a
location within the remaining right of way and create easements for utilities crossing the vacated area. Quadrant
completed the relocation and undergrounding of the overhead utilities that were located within the proposed
vacation area to outside the proposed vacation area. In the course of completing this process, it was discovered
that the S 320` Right of Way deed, transferring the Right of Way for the State to the County, has a condition that
if any part of the area transfened to the County, or its successors in no longer needed for public road purposes,
that property is to be returned to the State. As this area was approved for vacation by Council on September 2,
2008, the City has deemed this area no longer needed for public road purposes. As presented to Council in the
staff report, the property proposed for the vacation and which would be relinquished, is outside of the widest
planned cross section for S 320 Street, and would not be needed far future roadway purposes. Once the property
has been relinquished to the State, Quadrant will negotiate purchase of that property from the State. Also any
easements required for the utilities can not be put into affect until after the State as sold the property to Quadrant
as the utilities would remain in public property.
As stated above, based on the approval of the vacation by Council, the area being proposed for relinquishment to
the State of Washington is no longer need for roadway purposes, and as a condition of the deed, must be
relinquished to the State.
