B. Zoning and Development Code Text Amendments Related to Keeping Chicken and Ducks Dec. 7, 2010
Associate Planner Matt Herrera presented information on this item. There was one public Ordinance
comment: First Reading
Elbert Fields, 30412 11 ` Ave S— Mr. Fields stated that chicken grain and feed is attractive to
mice and rats. Chickens are also vulnerable to coyotes.
Committee Member povey asked where Suburban Estates (SE) zones existed inside City limits.
Mr. Herrera replied that there is a small area near Dumas Bay/Camp Kilworth as well as in the
Spring Valley area. Roosters have and will be allowed in the SE zone because farming is a
permitted use in the SE zone and roosters conform to that use. Committee Member povey
commented that the SE zone near Dumas Bay is surrounded by smaller parcels and wondered if
crowing roosters might be a problem to neighboring residents. Mr. Herrera noted that roosters
in the SE zone of the Dumas Bay area have not been addressed as a concern.
In an effort to standardize the types of coops that residents build, Committee Member povey
supports requiring three alternatives for chicken coop design. Mr. Herrera responded that the
City's existing nuisance regulations don't allow for chickens to roam off of their owner's
property; it would be considered out of compliance. Mr. Henera noted that the City of Seattle
has a great resource handout available to residents that offers suggested designs and materials
for chicken coops as well as lots of advice on caring for urban chickens. The pamphlet also lists
a variety of resources available to residents that have additional questions.

Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 2 November 15, 2010
Committee Member povey stated that he has strong feelings on having regulations/required
plans for chicken coops. He wants more than a reference pamphlet with suggestions. Chair
Duclos and Committee Member Ferrell were also in agreement.
Council Member Burbidge commented that chickens won't always be in their coops. How will
"coop" be defined? It will be important to have resources available on raising chickens and
ducks as well as how to protect them from predators.
Committee Member povey asked about the ten foot setback. Mr. Herrera stated that the setback
is for the structure only. Best practices say that four chickens require beriveen 24 to 48 square
feet.
Committee Member povey also would like to see roosters banned immediately. After
discussion between committee and council members, the consensus was to allow residents six
months to get rid of their roosters.
Committee Member povey moved to adopt the Planning Commission's recommendation
as amended to codify language in the Code that allows for three (3) alternatives for chicken
coops and to reduce the time for owners to comply with no roosters to six months from the
date of enactment.
Moved: Dovey Seconded: Ferrell Passed: Unanimously, 3-0
C. Portable Signs in Street Side Planter Strips Code Amendment
Senior Planner Deb Barker presented information on this item. There was no public comment:
Sam Pace - Seattle/King Co. Association of Realtors, 29839 154` Ave SE, Kent — Mr. Pace
wanted to thank the Committee for their consideration of this code amendment.
Committee Member povey asked Mr. Pace if he approves of the drafted language. Mr. Pace
responded that he is not sure the language regarding a sight distance triangle reserve area would
hold up in court, however, he did not see that as an issue. Mr. Pace feels the proposed code
language may be a viable solution for portable signs in street side planter strips.
Committee Member povey commented further that the sight distance triangle reserve area
serves as a sight distance safety area. Chair Duclos confirmed with Mr. Herrera that a portable
sign placed outside of the sight distance triangle reserve area would be acceptable. Chair Duclos
commented in favor of the enhanced photo depicting the sight distance triangle reserve area,
saying it helped her understand the portable sign language.
City Traffic Engineer Perez addressed the Committee and offered some further explanation of
the code language. Explaining that the existing City Code allows for a larger sign that could
cause a sight distance issue, staff felt the better option was to propose the sight distance triangle
reserve area with the existing sign size versus reducing the sign size for this permitted use.
Enforcing the code would become complicated with varying sign sizes.
Committee Member povey suggested distributing a handout/brochure for realtors to have on this
code amendment. There was brief discussion on how to do that... potentially by emailing a.pdf
of the brochure to area real estate offices and having them print and distribute to their
colleagues.
Mayor Kochmar was concerned over the possibility that someone could sue the City on this
issue. Asst. City Atty. Beckwith stated that worst scenario is that the court may rule our code
language non-constitutional and the code would revert to its former language, thereby making
the language more restrictive.

Mr. Pace reiterated that he did not foresee anyone taking the City to court on this issue. Also, he
would volunteer to help distribute any educational materials on sight distance triangle reserve
area to area brokers. Mr. Pace and the Committee discussed the sketched diagram and the
enhanced photo diagram of the sight distance triangle reserve area and concluded that both
depictions should be included in the code amendment.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

6.4 Community Facilities
Significant community investments have been made in the last 10 years to implement the
community's vision for Federal Way. In addition to the investments in the surface water,
transportation, and parks areas, the City also acquired and improved a basic set of
community facilities to house City operations and provide space for community
gatherings and recreation.
The City acquired Dumas Bay Centre (a conference and retreat facility) in 1993. Strong
local support in community recreation and arts activities translated into the City
Council's adoption of a 2% For the Arts ordinance to provide funding for arts in public
places in 1994, and the construction of the 254-seat Knutzen Family Theatre in 1998.
City Hall, which consolidates most City administrative offices, Police, and the Municipal
Court in one facility, was acquired in 2003.
The City began construction of a new 72,000 square foot Community Center in fa112005.
Construction was completed in early 2007. The facility houses Recreation and Cultural
Services staff, and includes athletic and community facilities suitable for a wide variety
of events and programs.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
As of January 2007, the City owns or occupies a number of facilities, as shown in Table
VI-4 and Map VI-5.
Projected Community Needs
The City has identified a number of facilities to help deliver services more efficiently and
adjust to the changing demographics of this community in the future. These projected
needs are beyond the City's ability to fund within the six-year planning horizon.
However, in order to keep the community's vision alive, we purposely did not exclude
any of these community projects. The City Council will periodically review and prioritize
these projects and provide funding when available. A description of these facilities with a
summary list is provided in Table VI-5.

Municipal Facility (General Government Police, and Court Operations)
The City acquired the current City Hall in 2003 and consolidated its police, court, and
general governmental operations under one roo£ About 10 percent or 8,000 of the total
88,500 square feet of space in this building is currently available for future expansions. In
addition to the City Hall parcel, the City also acquired two vacant lots to the north which
is the location of the Police Evidence facility and overflow parking for the City HaIU
Municipal Court.
Pursuant to an interlocal agreement, the Cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal
Way, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila Washington have agreed to jointly develop,
construct, maintain, and operate a consolidated correctional facility to be located in Des
Moines, Washington, to provide correctional services essential to the preservation of the
public health, safety, and welfare serve for these cities. As part of this agreement, an
autonomous public agency was formed, the South Correction Entity (SCORE) with
representation from the cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton,
SeaTac, and Tukwila. Collectively, the cities represent almost 340,000 citizens in South
King County.
As a result of the shortage of jail beds, King County notified the cities in 2000 that they
would no longer be able to house misdemeanant inmates after 2012. Many cities have
contracted with other jail facilities in Eastem Washington to house inmates as an interim
measure. However, these contracts expire even sooner, in 2010. While these contracts have
provided short term relief for the jail crisis, they are not a long-term solution and additional
capacity must be built. For example, the SCORE cities are currently using approximately
350 jail beds every day. However, the Renton and Auburn jails can only house 100
inmates, leaving a need for an additional 250 beds. This is the current deficiency. As the
population in the region expands, the shortage of jail beds will become even greater.
All of the King County cities participated in a long-term jail needs study in 2006. This
study is known as the Ricci-Greene Study. The study suggested that two sub-regional
jails be constructed. The study revealed that 1,440 beds would be needed by all the cities
by 2026. Of the 1,440 beds, 700 of them are needed in South King County. After the
Ricci-Greene Study was completed, the SCORE cities completed a separate feasibility
study to determine if the cities could provide equivalent jail services at a reduced cost.
The feasibility study revealed that SCORE could provide the same services at a reduced
rate, benefiting the tax payers of the SCORE citizens.
The $80.5 million facility will be a single-story building with a housing mezzanine
constructed on a sited owned by SCORE located in Des Moines, Washington. The facility
will be approximately 137,000 square feet with associated parking and site improvements
on a 15.613-acre collection of parcels. The site is near Des Moines Creek Park where
South 208 Street intersects with .l 8` Avenue South. The facility is designed to house up
to 822 inmates. There will be approximately 120 employees at the facility. The majority of
those will be corrections officers, followed by medical staff and administrative personnel.

FWCP - Chapter Six, Capital Facilities
Ownership and the financial commitment to SCORE are prorated based on the city's
2007 average daily prisoner population—for Federal Way that is 69 operational beds, or
18 percent of the project.
Maintenance Facility
The Parks and Public Works maintenance facility is located at 31132 28 Avenue South.
The entire site is approximately 1.4 acres, with 1,060 square feet of office space and a
61,000 square foot fenced storage yard. The City acquired two adjacent parcels, for a
total of 2.25 acres, to the north of the facility in 2003. Today, the maintenance facility
contains around 3,500 square feet of office space and 90,000 in fenced storage space,
with an additional 1.5 acres of land area available for future expansions.
Parks Maintenance operates seven days a week, two shifts per day. The space needed for
the maintenance operations includes a front counter/reception area, crew quarters
(including an area for daily time cards, breaks, and crew meetings/training, etc.), as well
as a locker room. Public Works streets and surface water maintenance operations have
similar needs for office space; operating Monday through Friday, year round, one shift
per day. Both Parks and Public Works maintenance operations tend to intensify during
the summer months and require up to 15 part-time, seasonal workers at any given time.
Depending on how the city �rows and transforms over the years, the maintenance facilitv
may involve several options to provide flexibility to accommodate this chan�e and
growth and continue delive ,r�of high quality and timely city services in the future. The
design and construction costs for constructing/renovating and/or expandin� the
maintenance facilitv will depend on the operational goals•

In 1994 the City of Federal Way Arts Commission funded a feasibilitv studv of a facilitv
to house a cultura.l and communit�events center and the desire to create an ima�e and
identity for the city as one which recog,�nizes the value of arts and culture as an essential
component of the communitv Since then the city has studied the feasibility of a
performing arts center The performing arts center would serve multiple purposes,
including performances lecture series business conventions, visual arts exhibit space,
and space for events.
In 2009 the city engaged Webb Mana�ement Services in conjunction with LMN
Architects to studv feasibility of an inte�rated performing arts and conference center
facilitv. A conference center has the abilitv to enrich the performin� arts center identitv
and increase visitors throu�h increased attendees. 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 re�ort found that a conference
center would include an 8 000 square foot lobbv and conference center and 6,000 square
feet of additional meeting�snace to be used as breakout rooms or for stand-alone events.
The estimated cost for an inte�rated facilitv was $30 to $40 million.

Public Parking Facility
The existing city center development is currently near or at capacity with the required
surface parking to business-space ratio. To intensify the development, such as the multi-
story mixed-use developments envisioned by the community, additional parking space
will be needed. These additional parking spaces would most likely be achieved through
structured parking, consistent with the multi-story mixed-use business space.
. With the construction cost of structured parking at a

schemes, whieh mav or mav not include a�erformin� arts and conference center.
Structured parking costs (especially below- rg ade parkin�structures) have risen to
approximately $20 000 per stall ($30 000+ for below- rg�de_narking). Nevertheless,
�iven that most of the funding source for public parkinQ would come from LIFT
financing the total public investment would likely not ran�e higher than approximately
$10 million. At these construction cost rates, $10 million could yield approximately 500
above-grade, structured �arkin sg talls•
Public Parking Facility Recommendation
• 200 to 400 designated public parking spaces in conjunction with privately developed
parking structures for redevelopment projects located within the City Center.
• Between $5 —$10 million total. Investments will vary depending on the need and
type of redevelopment projects at each location. City funding sources would be a
combination of the City's economic development incentive fund and other state and

Significant community investments have been made in the last 10 years to implement the
community's vision for Federal Way. In addition to the investments in the surface water,
transportation, and parks areas, the City also acquired and improved a basic set of
community facilities to house City operations and provide space for community
gatherings and recreation.

Inventory of Existing Facilities
As of January 2007, the City owns or occupies a number of facilities, as shown in Table
VI-4 and Map VI-S.
Projected Community Needs
The City has identified a number of facilities to help deliver services more efficiently and
adjust to the changing demographics of this community in the future. These projected
needs are beyond the City's ability to fund within the six-year planning horizon.
However, in order to keep the community's vision alive, we purposely did not exclude
any of these community projects. The City Council will periodically review and prioritize
these projects and provide funding when available. A description of these facilities with a
summary list is provided in Table VI-S.

TOTAL �'
Municipal Facility (General Government Police, and Court Operations)
The City acquired the current City Hall in 2003 and consolidated its police, court, and
general governmental operations under one roof. About 10 percent or 8,000 of the total
88,500 square feet of space in this building is currently available for future expansions. In
addition to the City Hall parcel, the City also acquired two vacant lots to the north which
is the location of the Police Evidence facility and overflow parking for the City HaIU

Pursuant to an interlocal agreement the Cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal
Wav, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila Washington have a er� ed to jointiv develop,
construct, maintain, and operate a consolidated correctional facilitv to be located in Des
Moines Washin on to provide correctional services essential to the preservation of the
public health, safety and welfare serve for these cities. As part of this agreement, an
autonomous public a�encv was formed the South Correction Entity (SCORE) with
representation from the cities of Auburn. Burien, Des Moines, Federal Wav, Renton,
SeaTac and Tukwila. Collectively the cities represent almost 340,000 citizens in South
King Count�
As a result of the shortage of jail beds King County notified the cities in 2000 that thev
would no longer be able to house misdemeanant inmates after 2012. Manv cities have
contracted with other iail facilities in Eastern Washington to house inmates as an interim
measure. However these contracts expire even sooner, in 2010. While these contracts have
provided short term relief for the jail crisis thev are not a lone-tertn solution and additional
capacity must be built. For example the SCORE cities are currently usin� approximatelv
350 jail beds ever ��day. However the Renton and Auburn jails can only house 100
i nmates leavin� a need for an additional 250 beds. This is the current deficienc As the
Qonulation in the re�on expands the shortage of jail beds will become even greater.
All of the King Countv cities Qarticipated in a long-term jail needs studv in 2006. This
studv is known as the Ricci-Greene Studv. The studv suggested that two sub-re�ional
iails be constructed. The studv revealed that 1,440 beds would be needed bv all the cities
bv 2026. Of the 1 440 beds 700 of them are needed in South King� C�v. After the
Ricci-Greene Studv was completed the SCORE cities com�leted a separate feasibilitv
study to determine if the cities could provide equivalent iail services at a reduced cost.
The feasibilitv studv revealed that SCORE could �rovide the same services at a reduced
rate, benefiting_the tax pavers of the SCORE citizens.

The $80.5 million facilitywill be a single-story building with a housin� mezzanine
constructed on a sited owned bv SCORE located in Des Moines, Washington. The facility
will be approximatelv 137,000 square feet with associated�arkin� and site improvements
on a 15.613-acre collection of parcels. The site is near Des Moines Creek Park where
South 208`�' Street intersects with 18`�' Avenue South. The facilitv is desi�ned to house up
to 822 inmates. There will be a,pproximately 120 emplovees at the facilitv. The majoritv of
those will be corrections officers followed bv medical staff and administrative personnel.
Ownership and the financial commitment to SCORE are prorated based on the citv's
2007 average dail�prisoner population—for Federal Way that is 69 operational beds, or
18 percent of the project.
Maintenance Facility
The Parks and Public Works maintenance facility is located at 31132 28`" Avenue South.
The entire site is approximately 1.4 acres, with 1,060 square feet of office space and a
61,000 square foot fenced storage yard. The City acquired two adjacent parcels, for a
total of 2.25 acres, to the north of the facility in 2003. Today, the maintenance facility
contains around 3,500 square feet of office space and 90,000 in fenced storage space,
with an additional 1.5 acres of land area available for future expansions.
Parks Maintenance operates seven days a week, two shifts per day. The space needed for
the maintenance operations includes a front counter/reception area, crew quarters
(including an area for daily time cards, breaks, and crew meetings/training, etc.), as well
as a locker room. Public Works streets and surface water maintenance operations have
similar needs for office space; operating Monday through Friday, year round, one shift
per day. Both Parks and Public Works maintenance operations tend to intensify during
the summer months and require up to 15 part-time, seasonal workers at any given time.

Unlike other similar sized communities, Federal Wav does not have adequate
performance space in its school system. Therefore, to �row further and to better
accommodate performance groups in the market, additional facilities would be consistent
with what has occurred in other suburban communities of similar demog_raphics.
In 2008, C.H. Johnson Consulting Inc• (Johnson Consulting) in association with LMN
Architects, was retained bv the City of Federal Way to perform a feasibility analysis
addressin�a potential performing arts center (PAC) and the redevelopment of the Dumas
Bav Centre. The City of Federal Wav seeks to build a performing arts center in its efforts
to revitalize its city center.

The proposed PAC would serve multiple pur�oses, includi�performance, lecture series,
business conventions, visual arts exhibit space, and a space for events.
The study found that a 500 to 700 seat PAC can achieve competitive levels of demand.
Further, if the PAC is combined with a ballroom/meetin� room complex, PAC events can
combine with galas, festivals, and other activities, makin� the project more practical and
viable. If a hotel were attracted to this mix, an even more dynamic venue would evolve
and would add demonstrably to the Citv's redevelopment efforts and the communitv's
arts agenda.
A PAC potentiall�nrovides the Citv of Federal Wav with an increased performin� arts
presence that is estimated to draw a lar�e population of residents and visitors. A PAC
would draw an estimated 34 productions that would draw a total of 71,900 people. The
development costs associated with this proiect are estimated to cost $40.7 million.
A new conference center located in downtown Federal Way has the abilitv to enrich the
Citv's PAC identit�and increase visitors through increased attendees in the area. Also, a
conference center could contribute to attracting a connectingor nearby hotel to the area.
The conference center has a proiected demand of 240 events and 280 event davs, which
will brin� an estimated 135,000 additional visitors to the conference center. The facilitv
is estimated to cost $29.1 million.
What initiallv began as a feasibilitv studv for a perfornung arts center evolved into a
proposal for mixed-use development, includin� the followin�proposed facilitv tvpes:
• Performing Arts Center;
• Conference Center;
• Hotel; and
� Parking Structure
As discovered in the market analvsis, demand exists for a conference center that could
share a site with a PAC. Emphasis is placed on the two signature components, the
conference center and the PAC, as shown in the detail provided for those programs. The
hotel is included as a sug�estion for possible future development and support of the
center. Calculations and consideration for structured parking is included.
Based on the findin�s of the market analysis, and pursuant to discussions with the Citv of
Federal Wav and several community interest �rouvs, the following main programmatic
elements and preliminary space allocations were established for the PAC:
• Front of House: lobby, patron, and administrative support space
• Auditorium: 700 seat theatre
• Back of House: performance su�port space equipped to accommodate a
resident company

The market analvsis findin�s conclude that a mid-size conference center would be an
excellent complement to the PAC. It is proposed that the conference center include the
followingprincipal functional areas:
• Ballroom: 12,000 square feet
• Meeting Rooms: 10,000 square feet
The market analysis sug�ests that a three star 300 room hotel might also be an important
additional facilitv to support the conference center in a mixed use development. It is
sug�ested that the hotel be funded throu�nrivate development.
Projected parkin s�quantities presented in the Johnson Consulting report were

for site development with a ig ven jurisdiction.

A number of development concepts have been considered, one of which is a facility for

will be needed. These additional parking spaces would most likely be achieved through

These structured parking facilities are likely needed in order for each of the super-blocks
to regain grounds for redevelopment. With the construction cost of structured parking at a
premium when compared to land cost, some public/private partnership would likely be
needed for them to be financially feasible. The partnership may be in various forms, but
the essence is consistent that public funds are invested to secure certain amount of
parking spaces in an otherwise private-business parking facility.
Public Parking Facility Recommendation
200 to 400 designated public parking spaces in conjunction with privately developed
parking structures for redevelopment projects located within the City Center.
Between $5 —$10 million total. Investments will vary depending on the need and
type of redevelopment projects at each location. City funding sources would be a
combination of the City's economic development incentive fund and other state and
federal economic development, and/or infrastructure funding sources.
Financing Plan
It is desirable to have all theses facilities in the community as soon as possible. However,
unless they are funded with private or voter-approved funding sources, the City's projected
revenues will not support either the development or the required operating and on-going
maintenance of these facilities.
Future facility additions would depend on future voter approval to raise additional capital
and maintenance funds.
The City updates its capital improvements program every other year in conjunction with
its biennial budget process. These updates will reflect new project priorities and funding
availability.
