A. Market Analysis - Terry Moore and David Lindahl, principals at EcoNorthwest, a consulting firm
from Eugene, Oregon, presented their market analysis findings in the form of a Power Point
presentation. The general objectives of the assignment were better development and
redevelopment in the City and meeting state mandates and local needs. Specifically, their task
was to forecast growth over the next twenty years and the implications for demand and supply,
analyzing traffic, and providing assistance with Comprehensive Plan and zoning changes. The
Committee was particularly interested in housing figures as they corresponded to the Puget Sound
Regional Council’s housing projections The Market Analysis is a potential useful tool to be used
to adjust PSRC projections.
B. Draft Comprehensive Plan 1999 Amendments/Site Specific Requests to Change Land Use
Designations – Following a briefing on the background of the three site-specific Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Designation changes, the Committee voted to approve the Sayre request for a
parcel on Pacific Highway South at South 304th and the Quadrant Residential #1 request on South
320th Street east of I-5 (including the Federal Way Fire Station). The Committee denied Sally
Ramos request on the Velasco property at Hoyt Road and SW 340th. Fred Ketcherson, a resident
of the neighborhood opposing the change, spoke about the reasons he and some of his neighbors
believe there should be no change to the Comprehensive Plan.

Draft Comprehensive Plan 1999 Amendments/ Chapter 1, 2, 4, 5 – There were few significant
changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Most changes involved minor language changes, deletion of
completed projects and old dates that have passed. In Chapter 2, a new Professional Office
Comprehensive Plan designation was added. In Chapter 4, multi-family was changed to multiple
family to reflect the different types of housing allowed in various zones. Some language was
struck in Chapter 5 due to its inappropriateness for the processes currently followed.
