The purpose of the study session is to continue dehberations concerning amending Chapter 6.0 of the City's Comprehensive Plan (the Plan), Capital Facilities. The focus of the discussion is on Section 6.4 of the Plan, Community Facilities, specifically a performing arts and conference center and a competitive sport facility. The following list is a schedule of several projected community facility needs in the current Plan: • Maintenance Facility: $ 1 million • Conference/Perfornung Arts Facility: $35 to $40 million • Indoor Competitive Sports Facility: $10 to $12 million • Public Parl�ng Faeilities: $ 5 to $10 million In the following, staff has swnmarized the history and background of these facilities in the context of the current Plan. Staff has provided a review concerning what has been done since the last time this infornlation was updated, go over the results of these efforts, and request the committee's guidance as to next steps. Maintenance Facility The current Plan includes a recommendation for a maintenance facility with 6,500 square feet of office space and 120,000 square foot storage yard. The City acquired a maintenance facility located at 31132 28 Avenue. The ma.intenance facility contains approximately 3,500 square feet of office space and 90,000 square foot fenced storage space with an additional 1.5 acres of land available for future expansions. Conference/Performing Arts Facility The current Plan includes a recommendation for a 50,000 square foot conference/performing arts center. In 1994, the City of Federal Way Arts Commission funded a feasibility study (aka AMS study) of a November 1, 2010 Land Use and Transportation Committee Amending Section 6.4 of City's Comprehensive Plan Page 2 facility to house a culri�ral and community events center and the desire to create an image and identity for the city as one which recognizes the value of arts and culture as an essential component of the conununiry. The AMS study recommended a performing arts center to seat 1,000 patrons and a visual art gallery. The estimated construction for the facility was $190 to $240 per square foot. The current Plan adjusted the per square foot cost to 2007 dollars, resulting in a per square foot cost of $400 to $500, or $25 to $30 million for construction. In addition, structured parking was added to the performing arts center facility, which was estimated at an additional $5 to $8 million. Based on these assumptions, the full development cost was expected to be $35 to $40 million. In 1999, the City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) commissioned a feasibility study for a range of public assembly development alternatives for Federal Way. This report (aka Hunter's Report) presented preliminary findings for various alternatives, including a Performing Arts Center and a Competitive Sparts Facility. A development concept considered by the Hunter's report was a performing arts center. The report assumed a 900 to 1,200 seat facility with a cost of $17 to $23.4 milIion. The report considered options to incorporate into a performing arts facility, including expansion of ineeting and exlu`bition space, which would increase the cost to $21.6 to $29.4 million. In 2008, the city engaged CH Johnson Consulting (aka Johnson report) for a feasi`bility study addressing the performing arts center. The study evolved into a proposal for mi7ced-used develapment. The report provided inforniation concerning a Federal Way performing arts center, along with a conference center, hotel, and structured parking development opportunities. Based on the consultant's analysis the development cost associated with a 700 seat theater was $40.7 million. In addition to a perforniance arts facility, the consultant indicated that a new conference center would have the ability to enrich the perfornung arts center identity and increase visitors through increased attendees. The findings concluded that a mid-size conference center would be an excellent complement to a performing arts facility. The conference center with a 12,000 square foot ballroom and 10,000 square feet in meeting rooms was estimated to cost $29.1 million. The consultant indicated that a combined performing arts center and conference center would e�.perience bene�ts in tern�s of shared operating costs, but would not see significant savings in initial construction first costs. In 2009, the city engaged Webb Management 5ervices (aka Webb report) in conjunction with LMN Architects to study the feasibiliry of an integrated perfornung arts and conference center facility. Based on the consultant's review, a 500 to 700 seat theater would support local arts organizations and operate as an additional large conference space for lectures and presentations. The report found that a conference center would include an 8,000 square foot lobby and conference center and 6,000 square feet of additional meeting space to be used as breakout rooms or for stand-alone events. The estirnated cost for an integrated facility was $30 to 40 million. Given current market conditions, the estimated cost for an integrated performing arts-conference facility would range from $20 to $30 million without siructured parking ($25 million to $35 xnillion with structured parking). Therefore, depending on timing, the cost of the project would range from $20 million to $40 million. Indoor Competitive Sports Facility In 1999, the Hunter Report presented preliminary findings for a Competirive Sports Facility. The consultant researched the feasibility of an indoor competirive sports facility that would increase visitor stays in local hotels and complement the existing amateur sports facility in the city. The findings from this study included the cost for this type of facility as $10 to $12 million. 0 November 1, 2010 Land Use and Transportation Committee Amending Section 6.4 of City's Comprehensive Plan Page 3 In 2002, the LTAC engaged Don Schumacher & Associates to perform a financial feasibility study of a multipurpose fieldhouse for indoor sports competitions and other events. Based on this research, the facility would be a 75,000 square foot building that would accommodate 4-6 basketball courts and 4 volleyball courts. This facility would require parking. The report estimated a cost of about $8.6 million (plus land) assuming inclusion of a health and fitness facility. The cost without the fitness facility would be $2 million less. Public Parking Facilities In 2002, staff researched the potential of City participation in a public parking structure. Major redevelopment of the City Center may likely yield a need for some amount of structured parking to accommodate public dema,nd for parking in associarion with such potential redevelopment. These facilities could be in part financed with LIFT funding. In addition, these facilities could be constructed in conjunction with various redevelapment schemes, which may or may not include a performing arts and conference center. Cost esrimates in the current Plan for a parking structure were stated as $12,000 to $15,000 per parking stall for a total of $5 to $10 million. Notwithstanding recent reductions in construction costs, structured parking costs (especially below-grade parking structures) have risen to approximately $20,000 per stall ($30,000+ for below-grade parking). Nevertheless, given that most of the funding source for public parking would come from LIFT financing, the total public investment would likely not range higher than the approximately $10 million currently indicated in the Plan. At these construction cost rates, $10 million could yield approximately 500 above-grade, structured parking stalls. Conclusion Since the Maintenance Facility Project is complete, an update to the Plan should include deleting the Maintenance Facility project from the list of projected community facility needs. While the estimated costs of the remaining facilities are still relevant based on the latest information and comparables, the Plan should be updated with the latest information from the aforementioned studies. As mentioned above, depending on the project timing the Perfornung Arts and Conference Facility could be constructed, at current construct cost rates, at a cost from $25 to $35 million, including above-grade, structured parking. Stand-alone public parking facilities, potentially constructed in tandem with major redevelapment projects, would likely cost more on a per stall basis, but the extent of City participation in such facilities would likely still be limited to the range of $10 million, based on expected, available LIFT financing.

The new fees under the 2011 CFP, if approved, will be effective January l, 2011, are $4,014 per single-family unit and $2,172 per multi-family dwelling unit. This is a$182 or 4.7% increase from the $3,832 single-family rate, and $58 or 2.7% increase from the $2,114 multi-family rate. A number of variables go into the school impact fee calculation. Among them are the District's facility needs, construction costs required for schools, and the student generating factor (average students per household in elementary, middle, and high schools respectively) in new single and multi-family developments. The calculated amounts are then reduced by any state matching funds and voter approved property taxes for construction. Finally, a 50% factor is applied to eliminate imperfections in the fee calculation model. Staff has been in contact with FWSD regarding the City's goal of no new or increase in taxes or fees during the 2011/12 Biennium. FWSD is on board with this and has suggested staff recommend re-adopting the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan in order to maintain the current 2010 school impact fees.

This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal Way and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not adopted a school impact fee ardinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact fees as part of the SEPA process. The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan's estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption. This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need. The District has prepared a multi-phase plan for the renovation and construction of Federal Way Schools and support buildings. The Board authorized presenting the $149 million bond on May 15, 2007. The bond, passed at 63.93%, will replace four elementary schools, Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla and one middle school, Lakota. Plans to replace Federal Way High School and Decatur High School and to increase capacity by approximately 400 students at each school are planned in later phases. Federal Way High School was built in 1938. It has been added onto at least 10 times and currently has an almost maze-like layout. Based on an annual4% increase in construction cost, the estimated cost to rebuild Federal Way High School is $122 million. Estimated construction costs will be re-calculated prior to the next bond election. None of the cost to replace Federal Way or Decatur High School is included in the Impact Fee calculation in this Plan. 2 12 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN The non-instructional projects included in the plan will consolidate support services operations at a single location. The current Transportation and Maintenance facility cannot continue to meet the District needs in the future. Nutrition services and other administrative functions will also relocate to this centralized location. In September 2007 Woodmont Elementary School began a K-8 program by adding a 6�' grade and progressively adding a grade level each year. In March 2008, the Board approved a second K-8 program at Nautilus Elementary School. Nautilus began the 2008/09 school year with K-6 grade. As the program grows there will be more data available about the unique facility needs for this grade configuration. The District opened a new school in September 2008. The Technolo�y Access Foundation (TAF) Academy will provide a small school setting for 6 through 12�' grade students. This academy is funded through a unique public/private partnership between the Technology Access Foundation and Federal Way Public Schools. The focus of the school is Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The TAF Academy opened in September of 2008 with students in grades 6, 7 and 9. In the 2009/10 school year TAF Academy added 8�' and 10�' grade. Grades 11 and 12 will be added in successive years with a target population of about 350. The District continues to study school boundaries as new housing and fluctuating populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries may be required in the coming year. 3 13 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION 1- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN The State Growth Management Act requires that several pieces of information be gathered to determine the facilities available and needed to meet the needs of a growing community. This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and expected future facility requirements for Federal Way Public Schools. A Financial Plan that shows expected funding for any new construction, portables and modernization listed follows this. 4 14 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN INVENTORY OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Adelaide Brigadoon Camelot Enterprise Green Gables Lake Dolloff Lake Grove Lakeland Mark Twain Meredith Hill Mirror Lake Nautilus (K-8) Olympic View Panther Lake Rainier View Sherwood Forest Silver Lake Star Lake Sunnycrest Twin Lakes Valhalla Wildwood Woodmont (K-8) MIDDLE SCHOOLS Federal Way Public Academy (6-10) Illahee Kilo Lakota Sacajawea Saghalie Sequoyah Totem TAF Academy (6-12) HIGH SCHOOLS Decatur Federal Way Thomas Jefferson Todd Beamer Career Academy at Truman ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS Merit School 1635 SW 304th Street 3601 SW 336th Street 4041 S 298th Street 35101 Sth Avenue SW 32607 47th Avenue SW 4200 S 308th Street 303 SW 308th Street 35827 32 Avenue S 2450 S Star Lake Road 5830 S 300th Street 625 S 314"' Street 1000 S 289th Street 2626 SW 327th Street 34424 lst Avenue S 3015 S 368th Street 34600 12th Avenue SW 1310 SW 325th Place 4014 S 270th Street 24629 42° Avenue S 4400 SW 320th Street 27847 42" Avenue S 2405 S 300th Street 26454 16th Avenue S. 34620 9 Avenue S 36001 lst Avenue S 4400 S 308th Street 1415 SW 314th Street 1101 S Dash Point Road 33914 19th Avenue SW 3450 S 360` ST 26630 40�` Ave S 26630 40 Ave S 2800 SW 320th Street 30611 16th Avenue S 4248 S 288th Street 35999 16th Ave S 31455 28th Ave S 36001 ls Ave S 31455 28 Ave S Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Kent Kent Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Des Moines Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Kent Kent 98023 98023 98001 98023 98023 98001 98023 98001 98003 98001 98003 98003 98023 98003 98003 98023 98023 98032 98032 98023 98001 98003 98198 Internet Academy 98003 98003 98001 98023 98003 98023 98001 98032 98032 Federal Way 98023 Federal Way 98003 Auburn 98001 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 5 15 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN CURRENT INVENTORY NON-INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITIES Develoned Property Administrative Building MOT Site Central Kitchen Federal Way Memorial Field Leased Space Community Resource Center Available Office Space 31405 18th Avenue S 1066 S 320th Street 1344 S 308th Street 1300 S 308th Street 1813 S Commons 32020 l Ave S Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Undeveloped Property Site # Location 75 SW 360th Street & 3rd Avenue SW — 9.2 Acres 65 S 351st Street & 52nd Avenue S— 8.8 Acres 60 E of lOth Avenue SW - SW 334th & SW 335�' Streets - 10.04 Acres 73 N of SW 320�' and east of 45�' PL SW — 23.45 Acres 71 S 344th Street & 46th Avenue S- 17.47 Acres 82 l Way S and S 342n St — Minimal acreage 96 S 308�` St and 14�' Ave S—.36 Acres 81 S 332" St and 9�' Ave S— 20 Acres Notes: Not all undeveloped properties are large enough to meet school construction requirements.

The Federal Way Public Academy serves students in grades 6-10. The TAF Academy serves students in grades 6- 12 who reside in the Totem Middle School service area. The Career Academy at Truman High School serves students in grades 9-12. The Internet Academy serves grades K-12. The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type. (Career Academy at Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal Way Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of programs that affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas. The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to that development. School District are different. If the District does not have permanent facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding facilities. Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly. It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school. It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the district, not just around a single development. 11 21 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BOUNDARIES ❑ Elementary Schools � Middle Schools 1 Adelaide 36 Federal Way Public Academy 2 Brigadoon 30Illahee 3 Camelot 31 Kilo 4 Enterprise 32 Lakota 5 Green Gables 33 Sacajawea �',� � . � ' � � �W E . ; � 6 Lake Dolloff 34 Saghalie �.. �: � g�' �.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not take into consideration the education program needs. In general, the District's current target class size provides that the average class size for a standard classroom for grades K through 2 should be 20 students. In grades 3-5 the target is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students. Classrooms for students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs are calculated at 12 seats per classroom. Using the OSPI square footage calculation as a base line, the District has calculated a program capacity for all schools. A recent Study & Survey was the basis for changes to the OSPI building report. The following list clarifies the adjustments to the OSPI calculation. Music Rooms: Each elementary school requires a standard classroom for music instruction. All Day Kindergarten: Every elementary school operates at least one all day Kindergarten program. These all day Kindergarten program require additional capacity because the standard classroom is available for one all day session rather than two half day sessions. The District will operate 52 sections of all day Kindergarten in 2009/10 Special Education Resource Rooms: Each elementary and middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for special education students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities English as a Second Language Programs: Each elementary, middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom for students learning English as a second language. Middle School Computer Labs: Each middle school has computer labs. High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room: Each high school provides special education resource room and career development classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities. 16 26 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITIES *Middle School Avera e 754 762 Elementa Avera e 373 *Hi h School Avera e 1 299 1 389 Notes: * Federal Way Public Academy and Career Academy at Truman High School are non-boundary schools.

It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout the year and from year to year. Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students when increasing population impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required to house students when new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also provide temporary housing for students until permanent facilities can be financed and constructed. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s) is either used for other purposes such as storage or child care programs, or moved to another school for an interim classroom. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables are not acceptable as permanent facilities. The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools. 18 28 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN PORTABLE LOCATIONS PORTABLESLOCATED AT HIGH SCHOOLS NON INSTRUC710f7AL RVSfRUC7IONAL ecatur 9 ederal Way 2 homas Jefferson 10 odd Beamer 8 AF Academv 8 AL � 37 PORTABLESLOCATED AT SUPPORT FACILITIES MOT i TDC 5 TOTAL 6 HEAD START PORTABLES AT DISTRICT SITES Sherwood Forest 1 Total 1 19 29 PORTABLES LOCATED AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PORTABLESLOCATED AT MIDDLE SCHOOLS FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Student Forecast Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development. Enrollment projections influence many ofthe financial estimates that go into budget preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue projections are directly related to enrollment projections. Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department. Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade level and program level to include vocational and special education students. The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years. The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below. The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of years of historical information and how they are weighted. A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection soflware package that allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these projections for the district level. The Enrollment Master soflware provides statistical methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment. In December 2006, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the Federal Way School District. The report was complete in January 2007. The model used to forecast next year's enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration. This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollrnent is a constant percent of 20 30 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2015. This model produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when applied to the low, medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning and is consistent with estimates from various models. Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the State of Washington. Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current local economic conditions. Current economic conditions do appear to be affecting enrollment. This is reflected in the District's projections. The District tracks new development from five permitting jurisdictions. Long range planning assumes a student yield from proposed new housing consistent with historical growth patterns. Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school district community in the future. 21 31 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Full Time Equivalent Enrollment History and Projections Simplified FTE (K Headcount =.5 FTE; Middle School FTE=.99 Headcount; High School FTE _.935Headcount) Total K -12 Per Calendar Yr School Year � Elementary Middle School Senior High FTE Chi 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2003-04 2004-OS 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 B2009-10 P20I0-11 P2011-12 P2012-13 P2013-14 P2014-IS P2015-16 * New Conr�uratio s 9,127 5,524 6,408 9,164 5,473 6,515 9,105 5,309 6,770 9,022 5,261 6,754 8,912 5,167 6,637 8,865 5,155 6,456 8,793 5,076 6,325 8,838 5,077 6,167 8,894 5,042 6,129 8,988 4,995 6,109 9,091 4,969 6,111 9,175 5,012 6,066 9,253 5,086 6,022 Elementary K-5 Middle School 6-8 High Schoo[ 9-12 21,059 21,152 0.4% 21,184 0.2% 21,037 -0.7% 20,716 -1.5% 20,476 -1.2% 20,194 -1.4 % 20,082 -0.6% 20,065 -0.1 % 20,092 0.1 % 20,171 0.4% 20,253 0.4% 20,361 0.5% Enroliment History and Six Year Forecast zz,000 21,000 20,000 « c � 0 a 19,000 m m x a 18,000 0 « u O 17,000 16,000 15,000 � aO D � � p ��f �6 �� O FTE c,O �� c' �� ,�� a �� a �� c9 � � C� V� D lf O � O � �0 � l �t� Y �tS �� School Year 22 32 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Capacitv Summaries All Grades, Elementary, Middle School, and High Schools The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information and the Student Forecast information.

To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish a"Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard construction costs, which are unique to that district. - STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units that were constructed in the last five (5) years. - IMPACT FEE CALCULATION Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and the Growth Management Act. ➢ Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 12 months.

The changes between the 2009 Plan and the 2010 Plan are listed below. SECTION I- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2010/2016 SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION CAPACITY Elementary capacity includes space for All Day Kindergarten programs at every elementary school. Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on page 17. PORTABLES The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 19. STUDENT FORECAST The Student Forecast now covers 2010 through 2016 Enrollment history and projections are found on page 22. CAPACITY SUMMARY The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27. IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - HING COUNTY CODE 21A The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee between the 2009 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2014 Capital Facilities Plan can be found on page 32 and 33. 31 41 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2009 TO 2010 STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in student Generation factors between the 2009 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet is found on page 29. SCHOOL CONSTR UCTION COSTS The anticipated cost for replacing Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla is $70, 000, 000. The replacement will add 50 new seats to the school capacity at each building. The total capacity at these four elementary schools is currently 1 SOS. Adding 200 additional seats will increase the capacity by 13%. Total Cost .13 X �70,000,000 = $9,100,000 The District will use the above formula created as a base from the 2008 Capital Facilities Plan for the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan. The capacity of the four elementary schools may vary from year to year as programs are added or changed and construction cost may increase over time. For instance, for each new all day Kindergarten program, the building capacity will effectively be reduced by 20 headcount and the Board authorized an increase in construction cost of $lm for Valhalla. These changes would increase the construction cost. The District is using the base formula established in the 2008 plan in the Impact Fee calculation. 32 42 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2009 TO 2010 IMPACT FEE Item From/To Comment Percent of Permanent Facilities 96.81% to 95.62% Percent Temporary Facilities 3.19% to 4.38% Average Cost of Portable $168,307 to $193,607 Classroom Area Cost Allowance $168.79 to $168.79 State Match Average Assessed Value Capital Bond Interest Rate Property Tax Levy Rate 61.84% to 61.09% SFR — $297,242 to $326,409 MFR — $68,998 to $86,497 5.11% to 4.96% $1.49 to $1.48 Single Family Student Yield Elementary Middle School High School Multi-Family Student Yield Elementary Middle School High School 3285 to .3317 .1631 to .1653 .2446 to .2224 .1222 to .1520 .4621 to .0520 .0942 to .0590 Report #3 OSPI Updated portable inventory Updated average of portables purchased and placed in 2009 No change from the prior year.

This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal Way and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not adopted a school impact fee ordinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact fees as part of the SEPA process. The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan's estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption. This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need. The District has prepared a multi-phase plan for the renovation and construction of Federal Way Schools and support buildings. The Board authorized presenting the $149 million bond on May 15, 2007. The bond, passed at 63.93%, will replace four elementary schools, Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla and one middle school, Lakota. Plans to replace Federal Way High School and Decatur High School and to increase capacity by approximately 400 students at each school are planned in later phases. Federal Way High School was built in 1938. It has been added onto at least 10 times and currently has an almost maze-like layout. Based on an annual 4% increase in construction cost, the estimated cost to rebuild Federal Way High School is $122 million. Estimated construction costs will be re-calculated prior to the next bond election. None of the cost to replace Federal Way or Decatur High School is included in the Impact Fee calculation in this Plan. The non-instructional projects included in the plan will consolidate support services operations at a single location. The current Transportation and Maintenance facility cannot continue to meet the District needs in the future. Nutrition services and other administrative functions will also relocate to this centraIized location. 2 46 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Construction of Panther Lake & Valhalla has been completed and students began the 2009-IO school year in the new buildings. Lakota Middle School will be completed this summer and students will begin the upcoming school year in the new school. The District will be awarding bids for Sunnycrest & Lakeland in May & June and construction for both sites will begin this summer. During the construction of Sunnycrest, students will be served at an off-site location. In Fa112010, the District will offer the Middle Years IB program at Totem & Kilo. 'The Middle Years IB programs will require students to take a foreign language in addition to the core subjects currently offered at the middle schools. In Fa112011, the district will implement a dual-language program at Sunnycrest. The dual-language program will offer opportunities for students to engage in bilingual learning. The program will begin with a K-1 program adding a new grade level each year. Each grade level will require three classrooms. The District continues to monitor factors that may have an impact on enrollment and capacity at our schools. One such factor is HB 2261, which will phase in full-day kindergarten for all students. The District will follow this bill as it progresses and assess the possible facility impact this bill may create. Another factor would be the inclusion of a Program of Early Learning for at risk children within the overall Program of Basic Education. According to the projections provided by the Puget Sound Educational Service District, Federal Way was projected to have 1,219 children eligible for Head Start, Early Head Start and ECEAP in 2009. Funded capacity for these programs is only 321 leaving 898 children unserved. If a bill including Early Learning as a part of the Program of Basic Education were to pass, there would be a significant impact to the capacity of our schools. We will also continue to study school boundaries as new housing and fluctuating populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries may be required in the coming years. 3 47 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION 1- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN The State Growth Management Act requires that several pieces of information be gathered to determine the facilities available and needed to meet the needs of a growing community. This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and expected future facility requirements for Federal Way Public Schools. A Financial Plan that shows expected funding for any new construction, portables and modernization listed follows this. 4 48 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 201 I CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN INVENTORY OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Adelaide Brigadoon Camelot Enterprise Green Gables Lake Dolloff Lake Grove Lakeland Mark Twain Meredith Hill Mirror Lake Nautilus (K-8} Olympic View Panther Lake Rainier View Sherwood Forest Silver La1ce Star Lake Sunnycrest* Twin Lakes Valhalla Wildwood Woodmont (K-8) MIDDLE SCHOOLS Federal Way Public Academy (6-10) Illahee Kilo Lakota Sacajawea Saghalie Sequoyah Totem TAF Academy (6-12) HIGH SCHOOLS Decatur 1635 SW 304` St 3601 SW 336` St 4041 S 298�' St 35101 5` Ave SW 32607 47`� Ave SW 4200 S 308�' St 303 SW 308�` St �5827 �2 nd AVe S 2450 S Star Lake Rd 5830 S 300�` St 625 S 314 St 1000 S 289�' St 2626 SW 327` St 34424 1 S ` Ave S 3015 S 368�' St 34600 12"' Ave SW 1310 SW 325�` Pl 4014 S 270�` St 24629 42" Ave S 4400 SW 320` St 27847 42" Ave S 2405 S 300�` St 26454 16�' Ave S 34620 9 Ave S 36001 1 Ave S 4400 S 308�` St 1415 S W 314"` St 1101 S Dash Point Rd 33914 19`�' Ave SW 3450 S 360�` ST 26630 40�' Ave S 26630 40"' Ave S Federal W ay Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Kent Kent Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Des Moines Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Federal Way Federal Way Federal Way Auburn Kent Kent 98023 98023 98001 98023 98023 98001 98023 98001 98003 98001 98003 98003 98023 98003 98003 98023 98023 98032 98032 98023 98001 98003 98198 98003 98003 98001 98023 98003 98023 98001 98032 98032 2800 SW 320` St Federal Way Federal Way 30611 16` Ave S Federal Way Thomas Jefferson 4248 S 288`� St Auburn Todd Beamer 35999 16 Ave S Federal Way Career Academy at Truman 31455 28�` Ave S Federal Way ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS Merit School 36001 1 S Ave S Federal Way Internet Academy 31455 28 Ave S Federal Way Employment Transition Program 33250 21 Ave SW Federal Way *During the construction of the new school, Sunnycrest will be relocated to 440 S 186'" St, Burien 98148 98023 98003 98001 98003 98003 98003 98003 98023 5 49 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 201 I CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN CURRENT INVENTORY NON-INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITIES Developed Property Administrative Building MOT Site Central Kitchen Federal Way Memorial Field Northwest Center Leased Space 31405 18 Ave S 1066 S 320�' St 1344 S 308�' St 1300 S 308 St 33330 8�' Ave S 1813 S Commons 32020 l Ave S Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Federal Way 98003 Community Resource Center Student Support Annex Notes: In July 2011, the Administrative Building, Community Resource Center, and Student Support Annex will be relocated to the Northwest Center.

The Federal Way Public Academy serves students in grades 6-10. The TAF Academy serves students in grades 6- 12 who reside in the Totem Middle School service area. The Career Academy at Truman High School serves students in grades 9-12. The Internet Academy serves grades K-12. The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type. (Career Academy at Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal Way Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of programs that affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas. The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to that development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding facilities. Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly. It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school. It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the district, not just around a single development. 11 55 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 20ll CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN 12 56 ELEMEMTARY SCHQQL B�UNDARIES FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN 13 57 MIDDLE SCH��L BQUNDARIES FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN 14 58 HIGH SCHI�QL B�UNDARIES FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION 3 - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION Building Capacities - The Education Program Portable Locations Student Forecast — 2011 through 2017 Capacity Summaries King County Impact Fees - Single and Multi-Family Units 15 59 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Buildin� Canacities This Capital Facilities PIan establishes the District's "standard of service" in order to ascertain the District's current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not take into consideration the education program needs. In general, the District's current target class size provides that the average class size for a standard classroom for grades K through 2 should be 20 students. In grades 3-5 the target is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students. Classrooms for students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs are calculated at 12 seats per classroom. Using the OSPI square footage calculation as a base line, the District has calculated a program capacity for all schools. A recent Study & Survey was the basis for changes to the OSPI building report. The following list clarifies the adjustments to the OSPI calculation. Music Rooms: Each elementary school requires a standard classroom for music instruction. All Day Kindergarten: Every elementary school operates at least one all day Kindergarten program. These all day Kindergarten program require additional capacity because the standard classroom is available for one all day session rather than two half day sessions. The District will operate 52 sections of all day Kindergarten in 2010/11. Special Education Resource Rooms: Each elementary and middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for special education students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities. English as a Second Language Programs: Each elementary, middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom for students learning English as a second language. Middle School Computer Labs: Each middle school has computer labs. High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room: Each high school provides special education resource room and career development classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities. 16 60 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITIES ELEMENTARY BUILDING MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACTTY PROGRAM CAPACITY Elementa Avera e 373 Notes: *Middle School Avera e 737 744 HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITY *Hi h School Avera e 1 310 1 401 * Federal Way Public Academy, Career Academy at Truman High School, and Employment Transition Program are non-boundary schools.

It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout the year and from year to year. Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students when increasing population impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required to house students when new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also provide temporary housing for students until permanent facilities can be financed and constructed. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s} is either used for other purposes such as storage or child care programs, or moved to another school �or an interim classroom. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables are not acceptable as permanent facilities. The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools. 18 62 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN PORTABLE LOCATIONS PORTABLESLOCATED AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS NON INSTRUCTIONAL llNSTRUCCIONAL Adelaide 1 2 Bri adoon 1 Camelot 1 Ente rise 2 1 Green Gables 1 Lake Dolloff 1 1 Lake Grove 1 1 Lakeland 1 Mark Twain 2 1 Meredith Hill 1 2 Mirror Lake 4 Nautilus i Olympic View 2 Panther Lake Rainier View 1 2 Sherwood Forest 3 1 Silver Lake 1 3 Star Lake 3 1 Sunn crest Twin Lakes 3 Valhalla W ildwood 3 1 Woodmont 3 TOTAL 31 Zl PORTABLES LOCATED AT HIGH SCHOOLS homas Jefferson odd Beamer AF Academy OTAL NON INSTRUCT701VAL INSTRUCTIONAL 9 2 l 10 9 8 38 1 PORTABLESLOCATED AT SUPPORT FACILITIES MOT 1 TDC 5 TOTAL 6 HEAD START PORTABLES AT DISTRICT SITES Sherwood Forest 1 Total 1 19 63 PORTABLESLOCATED AT MIDDLE SCHOOLS FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 20I 1 CAPIT�4L FACILITIES PLAN Student Forecast Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development. Enrollment projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue projections are directly related to enrollment projections. Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department. Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade level and program level to include vocational and special education students. The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years. The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below. The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of years of historical information and how they are weighted. A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection soflware package that allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these projections for the district level. The Enrollment Master software provides statistical methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment. In December 2006, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the Federal Way School District. The report was comptete in January 2007. The model used to forecast next year's enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration. This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollment is a constant percent of 20 64 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2017. This model produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when apptied to the low, medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning and is consistent with estimates from various models. Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the State of Washington. Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current local economic conditions. Current economic conditions do appear to be affecting enrollment. This is reflected in the District's projections. The District tracks new development from five permitting jurisdictions. Long range planning assumes a student yield from proposed new housing consistent with historical growth patterns. Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school district community in the future. 21 65 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Full Time Equivalent Enrollment History and Projections Simplified FTE (K Headcount =.5 FTE; Middle School FTE=.99 Headcount; High School FTE _.935Headcount) � Total K -12 I Per 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2004-OS 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 B2010-11 P2017-12 P2012-13 P2013-14 P2014-1 S P2015-16 P2016-17 � New ConfiQm 9,164 5,473 6,515 9,105 5,309 6,770 9,022 5,261 6,754 8,912 5,167 6,637 8,865 5,155 6,456 8,738 5,119 6,594 i 8, 786 5,105 6, 644 8,841 5,070 6,592 8,932 5,022 6,552 9,036 4,997 6,562 9,121 5,�40 6,526 9,197 5,115 6,481 9,302 5,160 6,446 Elementary K-S Middle School 6-8 High School9-l2 21,152 21,184 0.2% 21,037 -0.7% 20,716 -1.5% 20,476 -1.2% 20,451 -0.1% 20,535 0.4% 20,503 -0.2% 20,506 0.0% 20,595 0.4% 20,687 0.4% 20,793 0.5% 20,908 0.6% Enroliment History and Six Year Forecast 22,000 21,000 20,000 c � 0 � 19,000 A m x a 18,000 0 Y 1.1 � 17,000 16,000 15,000 ��°� a � ° s �� O� 0 O, � FTE 22 66 .o .o .o -o -o -o a oo' � � �� ao � � � O � C� t� D S O� �CP �i9 �O � �� SchoolYear FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 20ll CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Capacitv Summaries All Grades, Elementary, Middle School, and High Schools The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information and the Student Forecast information.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES P LAN Kin� Countv the City of Federal Wav and the Cit�of Kent Impact Fee Calculations Single and Multi-Family Residences Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees to help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities. To determine an equitable fee throughout unincarporated King County, a formula was established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish a"Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard construction costs, which are unique to that district. - STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units that were constructed in the last five (5) years. - IMPACT FEE CALCULATION Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and the Growth Management Act. ➢ Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 12 months.

The changes between the 2010 Plan and the 2011 Plan are listed below. SECTION I- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2011/2017 SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION CAPACITY Elementary capacity includes space for All Day Kindergarten programs at every elementary school. Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on page 17. PORTABLES The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 19. STUDENT FORECAST The Student Forecast now covers 2011 through 2017 Enrollment history and projections are found on page 22. CAPACITY SUMMARY The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27. IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - HING COUNTY CODE 21A The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee between the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan can be found on page 32 and 33. 31 75 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2010 TO 2011 STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in student Generation factors between the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet is found on page 29. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COSTS The anticipated cost for replacing Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla is $70, 000, 000. The replacement will add 50 new seats to the school capacity at each building. The total capacity at these four elementary schools is currently 1505. Adding 200 additional seats will increase the capacity by 13%. Total Cost .13 X $70,000,000 = �9,100,000 The District will use the above formula created as a base from the 2008 Capital Facilities Plan for the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan. The capacity of the four elementary schools may vary from year to year as programs are added or changed and construction cost may increase over time. Far instance, for each new all day Kindergarten program, the building capacity will effectively be reduced by 20 headcount and the Board authorized an increase in construction cost of $lm for Valhalla. These changes would increase the construction cost. The District is using the base formula established in the 2008 plan in the Impact Fee calculation. 32 76 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM ZO10 TO 2011 IMPACT FEE Item From/To Comment Percent of Permanent Facilities 95.62% to 95.71 % Report #3 OSPI Percent Temporary Facilities Average Cost of Portable Classroom Area Cost Allowance State Match Average Assessed Value Capital Bond Interest Rate Property Tax Levy Rate Single Family Student Yield Elementary Middle School High School Multi-Family Student Yield Elementary Middle School High School 4.38% to 4.29% $193,607 to $183,996 Updated portable inventory Updated average of portables purchased and placed in 2009 Change effective July 1, 2010 $168.79 to $180.17 61.09% to 61.86% SFR — $326,409 to $267,668 MFR — $86,497 to $84,429 4.96% to 4.33% Change effective July 2009 Per Puget Sound Educational Service District (ESD 121) Market Rate $1.48 to $1.72 .3317 to .3507 .1653 to .1701 .2224 to .2361 .1520 to .165 .0520 to .053 .0590 to .064 King County Treasury Division Updated Housing Inventory Updated Housing Inventory 33 77 COUNCIL MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2010 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL MEETING DATE: November 1, 2010 SUBJECI': PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO COMMUNITY BUSINESS (BC) ZONING, DESIGN GUIDELINES, & LANDSCAPING POLICY QUESTION: Should the city: (1) Adopt proposed FWRC 19.220.050 pertaining to bulk and dimension of Multi- Unit housing in the BC zone as analyzed in the staff report and modified by the Planning Commission; and (2) Adopt proposed FWRC 19.220.080 pertaining to bulk and dimension of Senior Citizen-Special Needs housing as analyzed in the staff report and modified by the Planning Commission; and (3) Adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) pertaining to perimeter landscaping requirements as analyzed in the staff report; and (4) Amend FWRC 19.115.090(n) pertaining to community design guidelines as analyzed in the staff report?

Planning Manager Conlen noted that there wi�l be ,a public hearing on the Urban Chicken/Rabbit Code Amendment on Vifedrtesday, �ov. 3, 2d310. PUBLIC HEARIlVG — BC Code Ame,ndment pertaining to Multi-Family and Senior Housing Chair Pfeifer expIained the guidelines for the Public Hearing. Associate Planner David I.ee reviewed the background and reasons for the code amendment and summarized the proposed code amendmer�ts, There was one public comment. Todd Lawson — Mr. Lawson spoke representing his client, a commercial property owner in Federal Way. Mr. Lawson spoke in favor and asked the Planning Commission to consider the proposed code amendments. Mr. Lawson stated that these code amendments would have many benefits to developers and the community (increase in density, mixed use, parking, building height, etc.). Chair Pfeifer asked if there were any questions/concerns from the commissioners. Vice-Chair Elder asked Mr. Lawson if he had any other concerns that the Planning Commission has not yet addressed. Mr. Lawson responded that as a developer, he always hopes for more flexibility. One suggestion, though, was to make the height limit for senior housing and multi-family the same. Vice — Chair Elder thanked Mr. Lawson for being present and sharing his input. 79 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 October 20, 2010 In reference to the cross-sections depiction for proposed heights, Commissioner Bronson asked what the required setbacks in single-family residential zones are. Mr. Lee responded that there is a five foot minimum required side setback in single-family residential. Commissioner Bronson was concerned of the possibility of a home having only a five foot setback next to a zero lot line mixed use building. Principal Planner Clark commented that there should have been an additional cross-section depiction for single-family as well. To clarify, there is a five foot setback for single-family residential and a 20 foot setback for development in the BC zones (mixed use) for a minimum of 25 feet between the two structures. Also, height limit within BC zone is limited to 30 feet for the portion of the building that is located within 20 feet of the single-family residential zone. In the multi-family residential zone, there is a five foot minimum setback. In the BC zone that abuts a multi-family residential zone, there is zero setback, therefore the distance between the structures could be a close as five feet. Planning Manager Conlen asked the Commission's input on imposing a sethack on senior citizen/special needs housing of five feet. The current code is twenty feet, but the way the a�nertdment is written, if passed, would impose a five foot setback. Would the Commission recommend keep�hg the se�back for senior citizen/special needs housing to 20 feet? The current setback for multi-family next ta single farnily residential will remain at 20 feet. Commissioner Long asked for clarification that staff was suggesting that the setback for both multi- family and seniar citizen/special needs housing next to sing�e=family residential be 20 f��t. Planning Manger Conlen stated that is what is asking. Chair Pfeifer spoke in favor of a five foot setback between senior citizen/special needs housing and single- family residential and commented that the area in question (along the Pac Hwy S corridor) needs every foot available for development. Five feet is feasible to maintain the building's exterior. Planning Manager Conlen added that other building/land use codes and fire codes are still in effect. �f there is an issue with another code, the developer may have to use a greater setback. Commissictner Long concur��c�. Commissioner Bronson asked why there is a five foot setback for setiior Eitizen and special needs housing, why isn't there also a five foot setbacfc for other types of c.onstruction. Associate Planner Lee responded that a building within the BC zone tl�at has mut�i-family residences above is contingent on the uses below to determine how much of a setback is "required. Commissioner Bronson asked for clarification on what is trying to be accomplished with this code amendment.' Principal Planner Clark noted that many of the lots within the BC zone are only 100 feet wide. `�'�te code a�endment will make these lots more developable by reducing the existing setback requiretnents. Seniar housing is a stand alone building while mixed use has one use on the bottom (ie. retail) with mult�-family above. Commissioner Long inquired if mixed use buildings may create more noise tT�an senior housing. WouId ihis explain the greater setback for mixed use as compared to senior housing? Pr�cipal Planner said that is possble and wanted to clarify that the setback for mixed use from single-family residential would be 20 feet, but the setback from other multi-family residential would be zero. The amendment is continuing to pr�tect single-family residential. Chair Pfeifer asked far �ie reason �hat mixed use height limit was 65 feet while senior housing only 55 feet. Associate Planner Lee explained that the height allowed for housing is the same. The difference is because the mixed use buildings would �eed an allotted height for retail on the bottom. Mr. Lawson re-approached the Commission and stated that he was also interested in the height differences. As a developer, he may be interested in creating a building where senior housing and multi family exist in one building and suggested the Commission look at a 65 foot height allowance for both mixed use and senior housing. Or, could mixed use have retail on the bottom with senior housing above. 65 feet would adlow for more flexibility for development. Commissioner Long asked Mr. Lawson for his feedback on the proposed parking requirements. Mr. Lawson responded that he feels the City is proposing the minimum and personally, he would probably provide more. Another benefit of the proposed code is that there would be additional developable land to add additional parking and parking would now be clearly allowed at the ground level of a mixed use building. 80 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 October 20, 2010 Commissioner Long moved approval of the proposed amendments to FWRC zoning charts 19.220.050 "Multi- Unit Housing", FWRC 19.220.080"Senior Citizen/Special Needs Housing", and FWRC 19.115.090(n), Community Design Guidelines, and adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) "General Landscaping Requirements — All Zones" as amended to increase the allowable height for senior citizen/special needs housing to 65 feet and modify the setback requirements so that both mixed-use and senior citizen/special needs housing requires a minimum five foot setback next to single-family residential.

File No: 10-103393-QO-SE / 10-103538-00-UP Public Hearing on October 20, 2010 j, REASON FOR AMENDMENTS In working with developers, architects, and various other entities in the development community, staff has identified several changes that can be made to the e�tisting Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) to help encourage development on vacant or redevelopable tand. The proposed amendments also seek to streamline the development process by setting clear zoning requirements. The proposal is to amend FWRC Zoning charts 19.220.050 "Multi-Unit Housing," 19.220A80 "Senior Citizen I Special Needs Housing," FWRC 19.125.040, and FWRC 19.115.090(n) "Community Design Guidelines." Code amendments are proposed to allow increased heights of up to 65' outright, allow residential and parking uses on the ground floor, specify parking requirements, reduce front yard setbacks, remove density caps, reduce open space requirements, allow primary structures within landscaping yards when no yards are required per zoning chart, and reduce the applicability of pitched-roof requirements. The Planning Commission is being asked to review the proposed changes to the zoning code attached as Exhibits A through D, and forward a recommendation to the City Council. II . BACKGROUND The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) describes the Community Business (BC) zoning designation as two major retail-commercial areas along the Pacific Hwy comdor inctuding small pockets between South 272 Street and South 312�' Street, as well as a pocket of area between South 324�' Street and approximately South 339�' Street. These areas are characterized by a wide range of uses that are centered generally around retail and service indusiries. Many of the single- story buildings present an excellent opportunity for redevelopment. Based on a recent GIS estimate, there are approximately 72.4 acres of vacant land, and 9I .69 acres of redevelopable land within the BC zoned sections of the city.

GENERAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS — ALL ZONES CurrentIy, Type III landscaping five feet in width is required along all perimeter lot lines including the front yard setback under FWRC 19_125.060 in the BC zone. Cunently an inconsistency exists where most commercial developments within the BC zone are granted a zero front yard setback, but can not build up to the property line due to this regulation. Furthermore, if the senior housing front yard setback reduction is adopted, it would further add to this inconsistency within code. Therefore, it is recommended to add FVVRC 19.125A40(28) which reads "Landscapin� is not re�uired along.,perimeter lot lines abutting ri t of wa� where no required vards a�plv pursaant to Division VI `Zonin� Re�ulations'." 84 Planning Commission Staff Report K 1?O70 Code Amendments\BC Zone Amendments�Pfannine Commission\SWffReport For PC FINAl..doc Pa€e'' C. COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES P�egardless of th� z�re, structc�:.s are also unde: t�e gurview of t�'�e �ommunit- Jesi� Guidelines as set forth by the FWRC, more specifically FWRC 19.115.090(n). FWRC 19.115.090(n) requires that aIl new buildings, including accessory buildings such as carports and garages, shall appeaz to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12. It is often chaltenging for structures over 30' to accommodate such a design requirement due to roof areas generally being used for elevator housing, ventiIation equipment, and various other development related machinery. Therefore, it is recommended to have FWRC 19.115.090(n) read: "All new buildings, including accessory buildings such as carports and garages in PO and BN zones onlv, shall appear to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12." limiting the pitched roof requirements ta the applicable developments within the PO (Professional Office) and BN (Neighborhood Business) zones, which have lower allowed height limits. A variety of architectural methods are avaiiahle to address aesthetics. IV. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF CODE AMENDMENTS The proposal is to amend the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), Chapter 19.220.080, 19.220.050, and 19.115.090(n) by adopting each of the following amendments: 1. Under FWRC 19.220.050 "Multi-unit housing": a. Change "Height of Structure" to 65' outright. i. Reasoning: Applicants may aiready achieve the 65' above ABE height through an administrative review and a set of criteria. Allowing for an outiight height of 65' above ABE affords developers surety that the height will be atlowed and they can then design around a solid height. b. Require 12 — I.8 parking spaces per dwelling unit. i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of local jurisdictions revealed that a parking space per dweiling-type ratio was used for mixed-use residential units. This will provide predictability and help developers ptan for a base number of paxking stalls needed without having to supply a parking study as a pre-requisite. Applicants still have the option of submitting a pazking study if it is believed that less parking stalls aze appropriate. c. Change Note 1 to read "A11 non-residential gcound floor spaces must have minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 13 ft. and a minimum depth of 15 ft." - i. Reasoning: Preserves the original language of one of the previous criteria used to aIlow for increased height to 65'above ABE. This will preserve the original intent to �cld architectural aesthetics to this type of development. d. Change Note 2 to read "Building height may riot exceed 30 ft. above ABE for the portions of the building located within 20 ft. of a residential zone:' i. Reasoning: Tfie original buitding height restrictions placed on mixed-use residentiai deveIopments were too restrictive due to the relatively thin shaped lots that have been deemed redevelopable or vacant, and also did not protect multi-family (RI�Ij zones. Current code requirements limit the height in a �'estrietive stair-step manner. Of thc totai parcels within the 85 Planning Commission Staff Report K:\2010 Code AmendmertslBC Zone AmendmentslPlanning CommissionlStaffReport For PC FINAL.doc Page 4 BC zone, 29 parcels are within 20 feet of a single family residential zone, 29 parcels within 40 feet, and 52 parcels within 140 feet (Exhibit E). Broadeaing tha setbaek/height resuictions to all resideniial zones protects both adjacent single family and multi-family zones, and also allows for possible development on geographically constrained sites. e. Change Note 3 to read "Roof lines are designed to avoid a predominantly flat and featureless appearance through variations in roof height, forms, angles, and materials: ' i. Reasoning: Preserves the original language of the previous criteria used to allow for increased height to 65' above ABE. f. Change Note 4 to read "Multi-unit housing and accessory residential uses may be located on the ground floor of a structure only as follows: (a) ground level space that spans at least 60 percent of the length of the principal commercial fa�ade, as determined by the director, is occupied with one or more other use(s) allowed in this zone; and (b) ground level spaee that spans at least 40 percent of the length of all other street-facing facades is occupied with one or more other use(s) allowed in this zone. Parking in conjunction with other uses allowed in this zone may also be located on the ground floor of the structure if non-visible from the right-of-way or public areas." i. Reasoning: Allows for more options on the ground floor while mainta.ining the intermingling of commercial uses on the ground floor. This will also allow housing units on street frontages that are not conducive to retaiUcommercial uses. Additionally, allowing parking on the ground floor in a visually unobtrusive area may help alleviate parking lot landscaping requirements, avoid costiy underground parking, and provide easier access to future tenants of both commercial and residential units. g. Strike Note 4 which reads "The subject property must contain at Ieast one acre fo.r every 22 dwelling units:' i. Reasoning: Market forces, physical 1and constraints, and development requirements will adequately and organically determine density limits. Devetopments will still be required ta receive certificates of water/sewer availability and must complete a traffic concurrency analysis to determine cagacity and mitigation. h. Change Note 5 to read "1.2 parking stalls per dwelling unit for units of up to 2 bedrooms. 1.8 parking stalls for dwellings units of 3 bedrooms or more. D�veliing unit parking stalis are in addition to required parking for alI non-residential ground floor uses. Alternatively, applicant may choose to submit a parking study in accordance to FWRC � 9.130.080(2)." i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of Iocal jurisdictions revealed that a garking space per dwelling-type ratio was used for mixed-use residentiat units. This vviIl help deveIopers plan for a base number of parking stalls needed without having ta supply a parking study as a pre- requisite. The section also clarifies that the applicant is still entitled to submit a parking study to reduce the amount of parking required, as appropriate. 86 Planning Commission StaffRepott K.'�20t0 Code Amendments\BC Zone Amendments�Plannine Commission\StaffReport For PC FTNAL_doc Paee 5 i. Change Note 7 to read "The subject property must contain at least 150 square feet per dwelling unit of common recreational open space usable for many activities, and r,�ay include �rivate s�aces such as yards, pa�ios, and balconies, as welt as common areas such as playgrounds, recreation rooms, rooftop terraces, pools, active lobbies, atriums, or any other areas the director deems appropriate:' i. Reasoning: The currently required 300 square feet of open space is prohibitive in terms of the amount of land required to fulfili this requirement. Additionally, allowing for broader uses to be considered as open spaces (proximity to parks, trails, outdoor uses, etc;) may help applicants to achieve open space requirements. 2. Uuder FWRC 19.220.080 "Senior citizen — Special needs housing": a. Reduce front yazd setback to 0' i. Reasoning: Mixed use residential (FWRC 19.220A50) allows for 0' setback, as do most commercial uses. Zero front yard setbacks, when accompanied by quality architectural design are in keepirtg with a more urban aesthetic for the city's commercial & mixed-use areas. b. Change "Height of Structure" to 55' above ABE. i. Reasoning: Applicants may already achieve the 55' above ABE height through an administrative review and a set of criteria. Allowing for an outright height of 55' above ABE affords developers surety that the height will be allowed and can design around a solid height. c. Ghange Note 2 to read "Building height may not exceed 30 ft. above ABE for those portions of the building Iocated within 20 ft. of a residential zone." i. Reasoning: The original bui�ding height restrictions placed on senior and special needs housing deyelop�nents were too restrictive due to the relatively thin shaped Iots that may be redeveloped or vacant, and also did not protect multi-family (RM) zones. Current code language Iimits heights of a development in a restrictive stair-step manner. Of the total parcels within the BC zone, 29 pazcels aze within 20 feet of a single family residential zone, 29 pazcels within 40 feet, and 52 parcels within 100 feet (Exhibit E). Broadening the setback/height restrictions to att residential zones protects both adjacent single family and mutti-family zones, and aiso aIlows for possible development on geographically constrained sites. d. Require 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of local jurisdictions revealed that an average of 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit were required for this type of deyelopment. Tliis will help devetopers plan for a base number of parking stalls needed without having to supply a pazking study as a pre-requisite. Applicants still have the option of submitting a parking study if .it is believed that tess parking stalls are appropriate. e. Strike existing Note 1 which reads "If approved hy the director of community development services..." i. Reasoning: Unnecessary language if granting 55' height outright. Additionally, the increased setbacks of 1' for each additional l' granted in height along non-singlc family zones is restrictive aud does iicrl effectively mitigate any of visual impacts. Planning Commission StatFReport K:120I0 Code AmendmentslBC Zone AmendmentslPlanniug Commission\StaffReport For PC F[NAL.doc Page 6 f. Strike existing Note 3 which reads "The subject properly must contain 2,400 sq. ft. of lot area .per dwelling unit, or at least one acre for every 18 dwelling units". ;. ;Leasaning: P.�arket fo;�es, �hysicalla. �onstraints, and de�elopment requirements wilI adequately and organically determine density limits. Developments will still be required to receive certificates of water/sewer availability and must comp}ete a tra�c concurrency analysis to determine capacity and mitigation. g. Add Note 3 to read " Anvlicant may choose to submit a parkin� studv in accordance with FWRC 19.130.080(2)." i. Reasoning: Clarify that parking studies may be submitted to the city for review if it is believed that less parking stalls are appropriate. Adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) which reads "Landscaping is not required aion� perimeter lot lines abutting right of-wavs where no required vards applv pursuant to Division VI `Zonin� Regulations'." i. Reasoning: Currently, Type III landscaping five feet in width shall is required along all perimeter lot lines including the front yard setback under FWRC 19.125.060 in the BC zone. Currently an inconsistency exists where most commercial developments within various zoning districts are granted a zero front yard setback, but can not build up to the property line due to this regulation. Furthermore, if the senior housing front yard setback reduction is adopted, it would further add to this inconsistency within code. 4. Edit FWRC 19.125.090(n) to read "All new buitdings, inctnding accessory buiIdings such as carports and garages in PO and BN zones only, shall appear to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12:' i. Reasoning: Pitched roofs are appropriate tn more residential settings. Additionally, it is often challenging for structures over 30' to aceommodate such a design requirement due to roof areas generally being used for elevator housing, ventilation equipment, and various other development retated machinery. Current trends also show roof tops being used for open space recreation. Other architectural methods such as cornices, modulated roof heights, and integrated architectural art pieces will adequately address aesthetic concerns. The proposed changes have been illnstrated in ��ibits "A" through "D" of this staff report in the form of potential zoning charts. Vo PROCEDURAL SUMMARY On August 13, 2010, the city issued an Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) on the proposed amendments, with a comment deadline of August 30, 2010, and an appeal deadline of September 13, 20�0. No comments on the DNS have been submitted to the city as of the date of transmittal of this staff report. Public notice of the October 24, 2010, public hearing was published and posted on October 2, 2410, in accordance with the city's procedural requirements. Stakeholders were notified of the impending pubtic hearing and were sent this staff report. 88 Planning Commission Staff RepoR K:120i 0 Code Amendmcnts�BC Zone AmendmentslP}annine Commission\StaffReport For PC FINAL-doc Pa°e � VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS There was one public comment received from Todd Lawson. The e-mail is attached to this staffreport as Exhibi± F. VII. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Process VI Council Rezones," esta.blishes a process and criteria for zoning code te� amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: 1, To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments. 2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendments meets the criteria provided by FWRC 19.80.130. 3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regazding adoption of the proposed zoning code te�ct amendments. VIII. DECISIONAL CRITERIA FWRC I9.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. 'Fhe following section analyzes the compl�ance of the proposed zoning text amendments with the criteria provided by FWRC 19.80.130. The City may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that: 1. The proposed amendment is consistent wit'� the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan. The proposed FWRG text amendment is consistent with the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies: LUGl Improve the appeatance aud function of the built environment. LUG6 Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, areas with a mix of uses that appea:l to pedestrians, matorists, and residents, and enhance the community's image. ' LUPl Use residential design performance standards to maintain neighborhood character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. LUP2 Use design and performance standards to achieve a greater range of housing options in multiple-family designations. LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of development regulations to determine how to imprave ugon the permit review process. LUP20 Support a diverse community comprised of neighborhoods that provide a range of housing options; a vibrant City Center; well designed and functioning commercial areas; and distinctive neighborhood retail areas_ Planning Commission Staff Report K:12010 Code AmendmeMS�BC Zone Amendments�Planning Commission\SEaff Report For PC FINAL.doc Page 8 LUP41 Encourage a range of pedestrian-oriented retail, while continuing to accommodate auto-oriented retail, and provide supportive uses to meet the needs �+f *.'PS1G� 3P_ PI?2p��Jy 2T1 C.i'1� �.I'P3. EDP10 The City wiil work with the private sector to actively encourage the retention and expansion of existing businesses, as well as bring in new development, businesses, and jobs to the community. EDP18 The City will periodically monitor local and regional trends to be able to adjust plans, policies, and programs. EDP19 The City will actively work with representative groups of business and property owners, including the Federal Way Chamber and other local business associations, to enhance citywide and subarea improvements and planning. 2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare. The proposed FWRC text amendment bears substantial relationship to the public health, safety, and welfare because it allows for more flexible integration of recreational areas in proximity to multi-family uses. Additionally, the te� amendments may also reduce the amount of vehicIes on pubiic right-of-ways at any given time due to the proximity of commercial services to the residence. The te�rt amendments as presented will serve the public health, safety, and welfare. 3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city. Approval of the proposed cade amendment would benefit the city as a whole as it would encourage development and redevelopment in the Community Business Zone by not encumbering developments to reach the maximum height, thus increasing density and also diversify the types of housing available within the city. Additionally, the proposed te� amendments would lead to more architecturally diverse deveiopments throughout the city. The potential to attract new businesses and devetopments (which in turn genera.tes taY revenue), would be in the best interest of the residents of the city. IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the above staff analysis and decisional criteria, staff recommends the approval of the proposed amendments to FWRC zoning charts 19.220.050 "Mutti-Unit Housing", 19.220.080 "Senior Citizen / Special Needs Housing", and FWRC 19.115.090(n), Community Design Guidelines, and adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) "General Landscaping Requirements — All Zones". X. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Consistent with the provisions of FWRC 19.80.240, the Planning Commission tnay take the following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments: 1. Recommend to the City Council adoption of the FWRC text amendment as recommended by staff; 90 Planning Commission Staff Report K:\2010 Code Amendments\BC Zone Amendments�Planning Commission\Staff Repat For PC FINAL.doc Paee 9 2.

I've attached the zoning charts that we've changed. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a way to do a fee-in-lieu method for the open space without sacrificing the timeline for adoption on this. It's something we may try to work on again next year. However, we did drop the open space requirement down to 200square feet and also made what can count towards open space more discretionary. Additionally, we clarified the parking stall requirements instead of it being case-by-case basis. However, this does not mean you can't get reduced parking requirements through a parking study. Also, we've gotten rid of the pitched roof requirement in the BC zone. 7ust a quick question though, since the density caps for both senior and mixed use residential �units have been removed, how much of each do you think you can squeeze on to your lot?

The City of Federal Way has disseminated this new educational information, and implemented the published health-based management guidelines. However, we are seeing an increase in lake algae bloom-related reports (by both City Parks Department personnel and the community at-large). Federal Way lakes are located in highly urbanized settings, are sensitive to excessive nutrient loadings and temperature and are shallow. These conditions favor algal bloom formation. The SWM Division is proposing to implement a Federal Way Lake Algae Program that will focus on both public and private lakes comprising a total surface area of 153 acres. Lakes targeted for this could include: Steel Lake, North Lake, Twin Lakes (Lake Lorene and Lake Jeane), Mirror Lake, Fisher's Bog, Easter Lake, French Lake, and Brooklake. Performing any activities on these or other water bodies in Federal Way will be dependent upon the need to address algae related water quality issues. Both public and private lakes will be included in order to provide a comprehensive program capable of assessing the overall health of our City's natural conveyance system. The following specific algal bloom management elements will be included in the project: response to reports, early detection investigations, water quality sampling, sample delivery/analyses, public notification, data collecting and reporting, and community outreach. The Federal Way Lake Algae Project will identify problematic conditions occurring in City of Federal Way freshwater lakes that contribute to algal bloom formation. Most importantly, it will reduce public health threats and assist in the development of long-term nutrient reduction solutions. Additionally, the project will complement the following on-going surface water quality programs and public outreach efforts: the Steel Lake Management District, the North Lake Management District, the Dumas Bay Saltwater Algae Management/Kesearch grant, and the Municipal Phase II Stormwater Permit. Staff is requesting authorization to apply for funding for this project through a DOE grant opportunity for Freshwater Algae Control Programs. The subject grant requires a 25% match, which will be obtained from unallocated SWM funds. The total amount being proposed for this program is $44,690.00, of which $11,172.50 would be SWM matching funds. 126 COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 16, 2010 ITEM #• Sus.�cT: South 320`�' Street at I-5 Southbound Off Ramp — 85% Design Status Report POLICY QUESTION Should the Council authorize staff to proceed with design of the South 320�' Street at I-5 Southbound Off Ramp Project and return to the LUTC and Council at the 100% design completion for further reports and authorization?

E., Street Systems Project Engineer� SUBJECT: South 320`�' Street at I-5 Southbound Off Ramp — 85% Design Status Report BACKGROUND This project consists of widening the southbound off ramp from the present 3 lanes to 5 lanes. The updated ramp will have dual left turn lanes and three right turn lanes. The lane configuration on South 320`" St will not be modified. Other modifications include relocated curb, gutter and sidewalk at the northwest quadrant of the intersection, shifting the South 320` Street median island and signal pole westward, constructing a retaining wall along the west side of the widened ramp, and modifications to the existing drainage and detention pond. Illumination will be upgraded along the length of the widened ramp. The following provides a brief synopsis of the progress on this project to date. Currently, the project design is approximately 85% complete, which includes the following completed tasks: • The Topographical Surveys • The Geotechnical Investigation • Channelization Plans • Final Paving Design • Final Drainage Design • Project Design to 85% Ongoing Tasks Include: • WSDOT Approval of Channelization Plans • Retaining Wall Design • Traffic Signal and Illumination Design • NEPA Environmental Documentation and Approval • Project Design to 100% This project is scheduled to go to bid in Apri12011 with construction beginning June 2011. 128 Land Use and Transportation Committee I-5 Southbound South 320 Street Off Ramp November 1, 2010 Page 2 of 2 PROJECT ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES: Planning and Design (WSDOT) ROW Acquisition 2011 Construction Cost 10% Construction Contingency Construction Management (WSDOT) TOTAL PROJECT COSTS $ 646,000 0 3,600,000 360,000 562,000 $5,168,000 AVAILABLE FUNDING: Federal Grant (STPUL) Budgeted City Funds Mitigation TOTAL AVAILABLE BUDGET $ 3,200,000 1,840,000 165,000 $ 5,205,000 (Transfer from Project 150) 129 K:\LUTC\2010\] 1-01-] 0 S 320th St @ I-5 SB Off Ramp - 85% Design Status Report.doc COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 16`�', 2010 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL ITEM #: Sus.�C'r: School Zone Flashing Beacon Grant Application — Silver Lake Elementary POLICY QUESTION Should the City apply for a grant through the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) to install school zone flashing beacons at Silver Lake Elementary?

Roe, P.E., Director of Parks, Public Works and Emergency Management �' ''' ` ' Jesse Hannahs, P.E., Senior Traffic Engineer � j SUBJECT: School Zone Flashing Beacon Grant Application BACKGROUND: The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) has concluded from its own studies that driver compliance with the 20 mile per hour school speed limit and collision history were improved when drivers were given clear direction over when the school speed limit was in effect, and the best way to accomplish this is with the installation of school zone flashing beacons ("Speed Limit 20 When Flashing") rather than the subjective "Speed Limit 20 When Children Are Present". To help road agencies adopt this change, the Commission created a grant program that provides up to $7,500 for flashing beacon hardware components per school zone that flashing beacons are installed at elementary schools. The grant would also require that the City provide education materials and targeted enforcement at the added locations. City staff has had a similar goal, and currently all but four elementary schools have school zone flashing beacons installed. With funds from the same WTSC grant program in 2009, school zone flashing beacons were installed at Sherwood Forest Elementary School and the recently completed follow-up study shows a significant speed reduction at all hours but especially during the flashing beacon operation. The remaining four schools are all located on low volume residential streets: • Silver Lake (SW 325 St & 13`" Ave SV� • Adelaide SW 304`�' St & 16`�' Ave SW) • Nautilus (S 289`�' St & 1 l�' Ave S) • Wildwood (S 300` St & 26`�' Ave S) Staff has determined that the highest priority and most feasible installation at this time would be the Silver Lake Elementary School Zone located on SW 325`�' Street at 13`�` Ave SW. Due to the relatively late release of the call for projects, staff is still evaluating the existing traffic conditions for this location. Total installation would cost between $15,000 and $20,000 with up to $7,500 reimbursable for flashing beacon hardware components. The adopted budget allocates $20,000 for school safety improvements in the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program, thus limiting the number of installations for which the City could provide the match. The deadline for submittal of the grant applications is November 19, 2010 with successful applicants being notified on December 1, 2010. Installations must be completed prior to Apri130, 2011. cc: Project File Day File 131
