COMMISSION BUSINESS
Federal Way Community Center Marketing Plan — Linda Farmer and Mary Faber presented the Federal Way
Community Center Strategic Communications (& Marketing) Plan as developed by Cipalla Communications, Inc.
The plan is designed to assist the FWCC in developing a strong, effective and consistent communications strategy
that integrates print, broadcast and interactive media. This targeted communications strategy enhances outreach,
increases exposure, improves efficiency and contains costs. The key business objectives for the second year of
operation is to sell more passes (targeted increase 10 -15 %), increase daily admission sales (targeted increase 20 %)
and increase building rentals (targeted increase 15 %). A new positioning line of "It all happens here" was created.
The 35 -page plan was distributed to commissioners for further information in detail on each recommendation —
graphic standards, visual library, direct mailings, standardize existing communications, specific and targeted
advertising, develop greater marketing and media impact, strengthen rental - market outreach communications,
update TV/Web media, re- design Community Center pages in Parks brochure, designate dedicated marketing staff,
clear signage, collect pass - holder opinions, develop yearlong wellness campaign, market area businesses/hotels and
develop media action.
Park Impact Fees — Senior Planner Margaret Clark did a Power Point presentation on the City's current Open Space
requirements. The City is considering adopting a Park Impact Fee and has hired Henderson, Young and Company
to calculate a formula to determine the fees. The fees are paid for new development and pay for park - related
facilities to serve new development. The fees can pay for system improvements such as acquiring and improving
parks or facilities included in the Capital Facilities Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. Impact fees cannot be used
for existing deficiencies or project improvements. Existing Open -Space set -aside requirements state all residential
development is required to provide open space and senior housing is either exempt or on a case -by -case basis.
Subdivisions must provide 15% of their land as open space and conventional subdivisions can pay a fee which is
equivalent to the cost of the required open space. Cluster subdivisions, small lot development, zero lot line
development and cottage housing must provide open -space on -site and cannot pay a fee in lieu of. Multi- family
development, mixed use development and manufactured home parks must also provide open space on site and
cannot pay a fee. For senior housing, there are no requirements for open space in residential zones and is case -by-
case in commercial zones. The community design guidelines require public on -site open space and plazas for all
development except single - family residential, is related to maintaining and protecting property values while
enhancing the general appearance of the City rather than providing land for active recreational activity. Community
design guidelines cannot pay a fee and no credit towards open space requirements. A question and answer period
followed with staff and commissioners.
