Committee stated that there should be no Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Cluster
Subdivisions.
E. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Guidelines – The 2000 Planning
Commission Work Program included the task of incorporating Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) into Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, in order to
provide for a higher degree of public safety. To prevent duplication and to promote consistency,
the Planning Commission recommended that the CPTED principles be incorporated into the
existing Community Design Guidelines, FWCC Article XIX. This alternative proposes the
inclusion of the key principles associated with CPTED within the code. CPTED principles would
be implemented as part of the design and construction of a project The applicant would be
required to demonstrate that the proposal conforms to the CPTED principles of Natural
Surveillance, Access control, and Ownership by using a checklist prepared by the City or
responding in writing demonstrating how each key principle has been met. The Checklist will
not be adopted as part of the code, but will be used as a handout; therefore, it can be changed
in the future as the need arises. The Committee m/s/c recommendation to the City Council to
approve at its December 19, 2000, meeting.
5. FUTURE MEETINGS
The next meeting will be held in Council Chambers at 5:30 pm on December 18, 2000.
