ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Mr. Conlen announced the next Planning Commission meeting will be June 15`�', which will be a public
hearing on a citizen requested changes to the Office Park (OP) zone.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBL�C HEARING — Proposed Amendments Related to Allowing Animal Kennels and Animal Care
Facilities in the Neighborhood Business (Bl� Zone
Ms. Clark delivered the staff report. This is a request from a citizen (Jon Moore) to allow animal kennels,
dog day care, and pet training in the Neighborhood Business (BN) zone. The proposed amendments
include regulations that are intended to mitigate any adverse impacts associated with outdoor uses for
animals and noise. The proposed amendments also include a definition for animal kennel.
Commissioner O'Neil asked staff to explain how the noise regulations work. Ms. Clark responded the
regulations are set by the state and it is her understanding they are based on measuring from where the
noise originated to where it ends. A chart is used showing acceptable dBa (decimal levels) for certain
zones. The length of time the noise continues is also taken into account. At night, the dBa limitation is
reduced by 10. Commissioner Bronson was able to add to the explanation. The meter measures at the
receiving end of the noise. Noise is dissipated by the square root of the distance. If you are ten feet away
it is one number, if you are 20 feet away it is one-fourth of that. This is done on a log scale. Dropping dBa
by 10, halves the sound level.
Commissioner Carlson asked if the noise regulations would pertain only to outdoor dog runs. He is
concerned that some businesses that only have animals inside will still be too noisy. Commissioner
Medhurst expressed concern about night time noise. Do other jurisdictions have time limits for outside
runs? Commissioner O'Neil expressed concern over the number of animals. What about the noise if they
have 50 to 60 animals? Ms. Clark responded that other jurisdictions do not have time limits. She went on
to state that all businesses must comply with the city noise ordinance, which uses the same language as
K:�Planning Commission�2011Vvfeeting Summary OS-18-1 l.doc
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 May 18, 2011
the state's noise regulations. There are some dog kennels in other zones of the city and the city has not
received any noise complaints about them.
Jon Moore — He is the owner of a grooming facility. He stated that dog day-care and dog kennel
are two different things. Some dog day-cares will have an outdoor component. Generally, the
animals are brought in at night. The business and animal owners do not want the animals left in
an uncontrolled situation. If animals are left out at night, the night-time staff will calm the
animals if they act-up and make a lot of noise. His business (and none of the others he is in
contact with) has not received any noise complaints. He suggested the proposed amendments
separate out breeding kennels. A breeding kennel may have up to 50 dogs and many unneutered
males. They are very noisy and are not suited for the BN zone.
Commissioner Bronson agreed that the breeding language should be removed from the amendments.
Chair Pfeiffer noted that the city has not received any complaints about veterinary offices and they have
many animals.
Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was secondec� to adopt the proposed amendments with a change to
the BN zone notes that breeding kennels are prohibited. The motion passed unanimously. The public
hearing was closed
S'rUnY SESS�ON — Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
Ms. Shull delivered the staff presentation. The citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is a
component of the Cities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant. The overall goals are to:
• Make it easier far citizens to choose active transportation;
• Replace the existing non section of the comprehensive plan;
• Improve overall connectivity of neighborhoods with commercial centers and recreation areas;
• Improve connectivity of Federal Way with the regional bike and trail system; and
• Address areas where fewer citizens have access to cars and have fewer dollars to spend on
transportation and higher rates of health issues.
As stated above, the plan will replace the current non-motorized section of the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan transportation chapter. This section was last updated in 1994. An advisory committee was formed to
help guide development of the plan. So far they have met three times. Their next meeting is May 23, 2011.
The Commissioners are invited to attend. Staff is also gathering citizen input from an on-line survey and
open-house meetings to be held in June. The city does have a number of biking routes, but they are
disconnected. To date, the ciTy has received approximately 50 responses to the on-line survey. The results
show that those walking and biking mainly do so for exercise. Walkers and bikers are discouraged by traffic
volume/noise and safety concerns, with bikers also discouraged by the lack of bike routes and facilities.
Emerging themes include: improved overall network for biking and walking; integration with the regional
system; supporting an active community; improved safety; and education.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Amendments to Federal Way Revised Code Related to
Restaurants, Accessory Uses, and Convention Centers in the
Office Park (OP) Zone
File No's:10-104120-00-UP & 11-102056-00-SE
Public Hearing of June 15, 2011
I. REASON FOR AMENDMENTS
The Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) requires the City to accept applications for code
amendments on an annual basis. In September 2010, the City received a request from Roger
Hazzard to amend FWRC 19.235.010 to increase the percentage of gross floor that can be used
for accessory warehouse use from no more than 20 percent to no more than 50 percent. This
request was presented to the Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) and City Council on
March 7, 2011, and April 5, ZOl 1 respectively, and was selected to be part of the 2011 Planning
Commission Work Program. Staff is also proposing changes to FWRC 19.235.030 that addresses
accessory warehouse uses to make the language consistent with FWRC 19.235.010. In addition,
staff is proposing other amendments related to the seating capacity of restaurants (FWRC
19.235.020) and to allow convention centers as a stand alone use as opposed to an accessory use
(FWRC 19.235.030).
II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
A. Accessory Uses
(i) Existing code language related to accessory warehouse uses.
The FWRC allows accessory warehouses in the Office Park (OP) zone (Exhibit A,
FWRC 19235.010 Office/retail, and Exhibit B, FWRC 19.235.030 Limited
Commercial), based on the following language:
FWRC 19.235.010 — Existing code language states that Office Use may include
accessory uses such as warehouse, retail sales, or service facilities, and assembly of
prepared materials; which facilities and assembly areas utilize no more than 20 percent
of the gross floor area (Exhibit A).
FWRC 19.235.030 — Existing code language allows warehouse use only as an
accessory use to the primary use on the subject property if it occupies no more than
50 percent of the combined gross floor area of all uses (Exhibit B).
(ii) FWRC definition of accessory use.
FWRC 19.05.010 defines an accessory use as a use which is subordinate and incidental in
size, scale, design, or purpose to the principal use or structure on the subject property, and
supports the principal use or structure without displacing or dominating it. FWRC
19.265.010 further expands on this definition stating that an accessory use is a permitted
use which is clearly secondary to the permitted principal use, building, or structure, and that
both the total gross floor area and footprint of the accessory use must be less than the total
gross floor area and footprint of the principal use on the subject property, respectively.
In addition, the director of economic and community development is authorized to
determine if a particular accessory use, building, or structure is normally associated with,
clearly secondary to, and actually accessory to the particular permitted principal use,
building, or structure.
(iii)Rcztionale for proposed change.
As of June 2010, the City of Federal Way had approximately 790,000 square feet of vacant
office space (E�chibit C) out of a total of approximately three million square feet.' At 26
percent office vacancy, Federal Way has one of the highest office vacancy rates in the
region. Mr. Hazzard, a long-time commercial real estate broker, who submitted the request
for a zoning code amendment to increase the percentage of accessory warehouse in the OP
zone states that he has received requests from smaller companies wishing to locate in
Federal Way. These companies would like to combine their office and warehouse needs;
however, they are having difficulty finding buildings to suit their need because existing
inventory of buildings within the Commercial Enterprise (CE) zone which allows
warehouses as an outright permitted use are too large to accommodate their need (Exhibit
D).
Calling out specific accessory uses appears to be too strict because an accessory use may
change over time. For example, today a child care facility may be considered an
accessory use to an office or industrial building, where this may not have been the case in
the past. In addition, the existing FWRC definition of "accessory use" adequately
addresses the intent. Furthermare, a recent trend in regulating land use has been a
departure from the conventional zoning focus of segregating land uses towards using
physical form as the organizing principle. This means that a use would be allowed in a
particular zoning district if does not detract from the character of the zone and does not
have any adverse impacts on adjacent uses.
As a result, staff recommends allowing accessory uses based on the following conditions
(proposed new language shown as underlined) Please refer to Exhibits E and F for the
full text of the proposed code amendments):
• The placement orientation desi�n and other site desi�n and architectural features of
the proposed building and site plan demonstrate that this use will not detract from the
principal character of the subject propert�as an office park.
1 Source: officespace.com
Staff Report to the Planning Commission Page 2 of 7
Restaurants, Accessory Uses, and Convention Centers in the OP Zone File #10-104120-00-UP
• The exterior appearance of that portion of the building housing the accessorv uses
will be comparable to the exterior a�pearance of other buildings on the subject
propertY
• The subject property must be designed so that any truck parking, loading and
maneuvering areas; areas where noise generating outdoor uses and activities may
occur, and vents and similar features are located as far as possible from any
residential zone.
• May not conduct any activity or use on the subject property that involves the release
of toxic or noxious gases, fumes or odors.
B. Seating Capacity of Restaurants
(i) Existing code language related to restaurants.
Existing code language in FWRC 19.235.020 allows restaurants as an outright permitted
use, but limits seating capacity to no more than 50 persons (Exhibit G).
(ii) Research from other cities.
As part of the background research, staff reviewed ardinances from the cities of Kent,
Auburn, Tukwila, Burien, Des Moines, Sea-Tac, Spokane Valley, and Renton to determine
if restaurants were allowed in similarly zoned OP zones (Exhibit H). Restaurants were
permitted outright in Auburn, Tukwila, Des Moines, and Spokane Valley. Restaurants were
permitted as an accessory use in Kent, Burien, Sea-Tac, and Renton. None of the cities
limited seating capacity either for stand-alone or accessory uses.
(iii) Rationale for proposed change.
Staff recommends removing the 50 seating capacity limit (Exhibit I), as this appears to be
an arbitrary number.
C. Convention Centers
(i) Existing code language related to convention center.
Existing code language in FWRC 19.235.030 allows convention, conference, and trade
centers associated with another permitted use in the OP zone zone if the convention use
portion occupies no more than 50 percent of the combined gross floor area of the
development on the subject property (Exhibit B).
(ii) Research from other cities.
As part of the background research, staff reviewed ordinances from the cities of Kent,
Auburn, Tukwila, Burien, Des Moines, Sea-Tac, Spokane Valley, and Renton to
determine if convention centers were allowed as a stand-alone use in similarly zoned OP
zones (Exhibit J). Convention centers were permitted outright in Burien, Des Moines,
Staff Report to the Planning Commission Page 3 of 7
Restaurants, Accessory Uses, and Convention Centers in the OP Zone File #10-104120-00-UP
Sea-Tac, and Renton and not permitted in Kent, Auburn, Tukwila, and Spokane Valley.
Where permitted, the use was permitted outright and not as an accessory use.
(iii)Rationale for proposed change.
A list of outright permitted uses are shown on Exhibit K. It seems unlikely that a
convention center would be associated with any use in the OP zone, except the office use.
Staff, therefore, recommends allowing convention centers as an outright permitted use
and not accessory to another principal use allowed in the OP zone (Exhibit F).

IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS
No comments were received as of the date of this report.
V. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Process VI Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for
zoning code text 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 regarding adoption of the proposed zoning
code text amendments.
VI. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section analyzes
the compliance 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:
Staff Report to the Planning Commission Page 4 of 7
Restaurants, Accessory Uses, and Convention Centers in the OP Zone File #10-104120-00-UP
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan.
The proposed FWRC text amendments are consistent with the following Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies and goals:
LUP3 Use design and performance standards to create attractive and desirable
commercial and office developments.
LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of development regulations to determine how to
improve upon the permit review process.
LUP35 Allow a broad range of commercial, retail, office, industrial, and supportive uses
to meet the needs of workers and consumers, in well integrated, well functioning,
high quality developments.
EDG6 The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain and/or expand
their facilities within Federal Way.
EDP10 The City will 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.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
The proposed FWRC text amendments are not directly related to the public health, safety, or
welfare. However, allowing more flexibility for the establishtnent of accessory uses in this zone
would encourage businesses that may have a need to combine uses that complement or depend
on each other. In addition, not specifying a maximum seating capacity for restaurants would
remove an arbitrary limitation on seating capacity and leave the decision on the size of
individual restaurants up to the needs of the surrounding commercial development. Convention
centers are compatible with office uses, and may be more likely to be constructed as a stand-
alone facility to serve surrounding uses rather than as an accessory use.
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Approval of the proposed code amendments would benefit the City as a whole by providing
flexibility for the establishment of accessory uses, restaurants, and convention centers in the
OP zone; thus, reducing the vacancy rate for offices and encouraging economic development.

Restaurants, Accessory Uses, and Convention Centers in the OP Zone File #10-104120-00-UP
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above staff analysis and decisional criteria, staff recommends that the proposed
amendments shown in Exhibits E, F, and I, and summarized as follows, be recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission:
l. Amendments to FWRC 19.235.010 to allow any accessory use subject to certain site design
and architectural features (Exhibit E).
2. Amendments to FWRC 19.235.030 to allow any accessory use subject to certain site design
and architectural features (Exhibit F).
3. Amendments to FWRC 19.235.020 to remove seating limitations for restaurants (E�ibit I).
4. Amendments to FWRC 19.235.030 to allow convention centers as a stand alone use (Exhibit F).
VIII. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWRC 19.80.240, the Planning Commission may take the
following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments:
1. Recommend adoption of the FWRC text amendments as recommended by staff;
2. Modify the staff recommended FWRC text amendments and recommend to the City Council
adoption of the FWRC text amendments as modified;
3. Recommend to the City Council that the proposed FWRC text amendments not be adopted; or
4. Forward the proposed FWRC text amendments to the City Council without a recommendation.

OP ZONE AMENDMENT
EXPLANATION OF NEED:
Market activity and requests for space within Federal Way has sho�; n a need by smaller
companies, wishing to locate to Federal Way, the ability to combine their office a.rid
warehouse needs. Existing inventory within the CE Zone is either non existent or too
large to accommodate the need.
The existing OP zoning use chart and options set forth in 19.235.030 are in conflict and
leave staff without the ability to encourage office/warehouse combinations for users.
Sec. 19.235.030 clearly allows up to 50% of gross building area for accessory warehouse
while 19.235.10, Para. 4, conflicts with Sec. 19.235.030.
On two occasions related to 33811 - 9 Avenue S., an OP office property, the relocation
or use of the property by a local company failed due to staff's inability to interpret the
code due to the 20% verse 50% accessory warehouse confusion.
