3. PUBLIC COMMENT
There was no public comment on any item not included in the agenda.
BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Silver Lake NTS - 16th Avenue SW - Residents in the vicinity of 16th Avenue SW between SW 320th Street and
SW 325th Place have requested the installation of traffic calming devices in that area based on concerns of high traffic
speeds and cut-through traffic. Following a traffic study and balloting of the residents within 600 feet of the proposed
speed hump, traffic calming devices were recommended and residents were advised about the next steps. The
Committee recommended that the Council approve the Silver Lake Neighborhood Traffic Safety Project at its September
2, 2003, meeting.
B. Zoning Changes to Neighborhood Business (BN) Zone - Four requests for zoning changes to the Federal Way
City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, the neighborhood Business Zoning Charts, were proposed by Young Chul Joe and Goo
Ja Joe, owners of the Northshore Shopping area. The Committee discussed the proposed amendments and
recommended forwarding the amendments to the BN Use Zone Charts as proposed by the Planning Commission with
the addition of language to FWCC Section 22-722 that "retail establishments providing entertainment, recreation, or
cultural services or activities" be allowed as a permitted use up to 25,000 square feet. First reading of the Ordinance
amending the Zoning Changes to Neighborhood Business (13N) Zone will take place at the City Council's September 2,
2003, meeting.
C. Over Sized Vehicle Ordinance - The Committee recommended that the Council approve the Planning
Commission recommendation as amended by the Land Use Committee on Over Sized Vehicle Parking modifications at
its September 2, 2003, meeting. Bud Ware, a local citizen, asked that maintenance equipment be included. He added
that these vehicles should park in paved areas elsewhere. He also commented on motor homes and other large RVs
detracting from the beauty of his neighborhood. The Committee's amendments to the Planning Commission
recommendation include a reference to non-motorized trailer or other related equipment used for commercial purposes,
incorporating heavy construction equipment in the ordinance, and exempting on-call tow trucks.
D. Grant Funding Applications for Transportation Improvement Projects - The Committee m/sic
recommendation of approval to the City Council at its September 2, 2003, meeting to authorize submission of grant
funding applications for the TIB 2005 Funding Program for the Pacific Highway South HOV Phase III Project (South
284"' Street to Dash Point Road) and South 356th Street (First Avenue to Pacific Highway South).
K:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2003V~,ugust 4, 2003, LUTC Minutes doc
E. South 320th Street Utility Underground Conversion Agreement with Puget Sound Energy '-The Washington
Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) has revised its billing detail among other revisions. The effect to the
City is that the South 320th Phase II (20~ Avenue South to 25th Avenue South) Undergrounding Project will cost the City
70% more than previously budgeted creating a $229,100 budget shortfall. In order to continue to move the project
forward, the Committee recommended to the City Council at its September 2, 2003, meeting the approval of the transfer
of $229,100 from the 23~d Avenue SW Road Improvement Project to fund the shortfall.
F. Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program Competitive Planning Grant Public Notice of Application - The Public
Works Department is applying for a FEMA Pro-Disaster Mitigation Program Competitive Planning Grant from the
Washington State Emergency Management Division in the amount of $37,500 and requiring a $12,500 match. If
successful, the money would be used for review and integration of multiple public and private disaster plans existing in
the community in hopes of creating a better coordinated response in the event of a disaster. The Committee voted to
recommend the City Council approve the grant application at its September 2, 2003, meeting.
G. Speed Limit and On-street Parking Code Revisions - As part of a traffic calming plan developed as mitigation
for Todd Beamer High School, the Committee recommended approval of draft code revisions in Section 15-59 lowering
speed limits to 30 miles per hour from 35 miles per hour on 16t~ Avenue South between South 356th Street and South
364th Way and on South 364th Way between 12~ Avenue South and 16th Avenue South. The code would also reduce
the speed limit on First Avenue South between SW 292nd Street and South 296th Place from 30 miles per hour to 25
miles per hour. The Committee approved changes to Sections 15-96 and 15-97 that delegate the authority of
determining parking restrictions to the Public Works Director. The parking codes have not been updated since they
were first adopted in 1990. The ordinance will go to the City Council for first reading at its meeting on September 2,
2003.
H. 51st Avenue SW Storm Mainline Replacement (Crestview Shoreclub)/30% Design Approval and
Authorization to Proceed to 100% Design - Surface Water Management staff have contracted with a firm on the
City's Small Works Roster to design and replace the failed pipe that is part of the storm system serving a portion of 51St
Avenue SW, whose outfall terminates at Puget Sound. The City was notified by the local residents that the separated
pipe allowed water to spill out onto the steep slope, eroding soil around the pipe. A closed circuit camera inspection
disclosed significant separation of the remaining joints and deformation of the pipe near the ouffall. The Committee
recommended the City Council approve the 30% design of the 51st Street Storm Mainline Replacement Project and
authorize staff to proceed to the 100% design stage at its September 2, 2003, meeting.
FUTURE MEETINGS
The next meeting will be announced later, at a time following the Labor Day holiday on September 1,2003.

SELECTION PROCESS -- 2003 Amendments to the Development Regulations
File No. 02-104161-00-UP
MEETING DATE: September 29, 2003
I. BACKGROUND
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires jurisdictions to accept requests from citizens for
amendments to their development regulations and comprehensive plans once a year. Prior to the
September 30, 2002, deadline for accepting amendment requests for 2003, the City received one
request to amend Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XI, Division 6,
"Neighborhood Business (BN) Use Zone Chart" (Exhibit A). This staff report will only address the
requests for zoning text amendments. The requests for comprehensive plan amendments will be
presented to the LUTC and Council at a future date.
II. CHANGES TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS PROPOSED
The City has received the following request from Brian Lawler on behalf of the Irmas
~haritable Foundation to amend FWCC Chapter 22, Article XI, Division 6, "Neighborhood
Business (BN) Use Zone Chart" (Exhibit A):
A text amendment to allow public mini warehouse or storage facilities in the
Neighborhood Business (BN) zone.
III.
REASON FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Pursuant to Section 22-523 of FWCC Chapter 22, Article IX, "Process VI Review," the City
Council shall hold a public hearing and select those docketed amendment requests it wishes
to forward to the Planning Commission for further consideration. It is the City's practice that
all City business be presented to a Council Committee, in this case the Land
Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC), before Council deliberation.

Ve
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
1. Zoning Code Text Amendment Request
Brian Lawler of Lawler, Burroughs, and Baker, P.C., submitted an application for a zoning
code text amendment on behalf of the Irmas Charitable Foundation to allow public mini-
warehouse and storage in the BN zone. The Irmas Charitable Foundation owns 3.23 acres
(four parcels) located on the west side of 21st Avenue SW, north of 356th Street (Exhibit A,
Pages 8-11 of 13).
2. Background
The property is undeveloped and, according to materials provided by the Abbey Road Group
(ExhibitA, Page 3 of 13), has been on the market for almost a decade. The applicant further
states that while there has not been any market interest in this property for any of the
currently permitted uses in the BN zone, there is a market for a public mini-warehouse and
storage facility.
The property is currently zoned BN. Adjacent zoning and uses are (ExhibitA, Pagell of 13):
Location Current Zoning Current Use
North of subject Property RM - Multifamily Residential Multi-family residential
(Westpointe Apartments)
South of subject property BN - Neighborhood Business Commercial
East of subject property RS - Single Family Residential Single-family residential
West of subject property RM - Multifamily Residential Multi-family residential
(Crystal Pointe Apartments)
Selection Process -- 2003 Amendments to the Development Regulations
September 22, 2003, LUTC Staff Report
File No. 02-104161-00-UP/Document ID 24688
Page 2
There are currently 13 BN-zoned areas within the City located at:
1. SW 320m Street and 47th Avenue SW (Gino's Restaurant)
2. SW 320th Street and approximately 30t~ Avenue SW (Twin Lake Center)
3. SW 340th Street and Hoyt Road SW (Chevron Stations)
4. SW 356~ and 21st Avenue SW (Northshore Village and subject property)
5. South 348th and 1st Way South (Sound Internal Medicine)
6. 1st Way South and South 338th Street (BP Station)
7. SW 336th/sw Campus Drive and 21st Avenue SW (Fred Meyer/
Albertsons/Safeway)
8. SW 312~' and SW Dash Point Road (Dashpointe Village)
9. SW 312~ and 8th Avenue SW (Sam's Market)
10. SW 312th and 1 st Avenue South (Papa John's and 7-Eleven convenience store)
11. SW 330th and 1st Avenue South (The Quad)
12. Military Road and South 288th
13. West of the intersection of Redondo Way South and South Dash Point Road
(Marine Hills Dental)
Similar to the applicant's property, the majority of the existing BN-zoned areas listed above
are adjacent to residentially zoned lands. One BN-zoned area, (located at 1st Way South and
South 338th Street), is surrounded by Office Park (OP) zoning. Another BN-zoned area,
(located at South 348th and 1st Avenue South), is across the street from a Community
Business (BC) zoned area.
The purpose of the BN zone according to the adopted comprehensive plan is to:
"...provide convenient goods (e.g. groceries and hardware) and services (e.g.
dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale close to
adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential and commercial
uses provide a convenient living environment within these nodes. In the future,
attention should be given to design features that enhance the appearance or
function of these areas. Improvements may include sidewalks, open space and
street trees, and parking either on street or oriented away from the street edge.
The function of heighborhood business areas can also be enhanced by safe
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections to surrounding neighborhoods."
The following are the BN designation goal and policies:
Goal LUG7: Provide neighborhood and community scale retail centers for the
City's neighborhoods.
LUP 40: Integrate retail developments into surrounding neighborhoods through
attention to quality design and function.
LUP 41: Encourage pedestrian and bicycle access to neighborhood shopping and
services.

e
LUP 42: Encourage neighborhood retail and personal services to locate at
appropriate locations where local economic demand and design solutions
demonstrate compatibility with the neighborhood.
LUP 43: Retail and personal services should be encouraged to group together
within planned centers to allow for ease of pedestrian movement.
LUP 44: Neighborhood Business centers should consist of neighborhood scale
retail and personal services.
LUP 45: Encourage mixed residential and commercial development in
Neighborhood Business designations where compatibility with nearby uses can be
demonstrated.
LUP 46: Neighborhood Business areas should be served by transit.
LUP 47: The City shall limit new commercial development to existing commercial
areas to protect residential areas.
Mini-warehouse and storage facilities are currently only allowed in the Community Business
(BC) and Business Park (BP) zones. These zoning designations are primarily applied to lands
adjacent to Pacific Highway South. The intent of the BP zone is to permit a mixture of light
manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, office, and limited retail uses to serve the immediate
needs in the area. The BC zone allows a large range of uses and is the City's largest retail
designation in terms of area. There is presently one mini-storage business, Federal Way Self
Storage, located in a BN zone west of the SW Dash Point Road/21 st Avenue SW intersection.
This mini-storage was constructed prior to the 1990 Federal Way incorporation.
Do other communities allow "public mini-warehouse and storage" use in neighborhood
business-zoned areas?
Staff reviewed other King County cities' zoning codes to determine if other communities
typically allow any type of public storage facilities in comparable zoning designations. The
following cities' codes/zones were reviewed:
City Zone Allows Mini-Storage
Auburn C-N No
Burien CN No
Kent NCC No
Kirkland BN No
Redmond NC No
Sea Tac NB No
Tukwila- NCC No
Renton CC No
CN Yes as a conditional uses. Must be part of a mixed-use
development and no larger than 35,000 square feet.
Selection Process - 2003 Amendments to the Development Regulations File No. 02-104161-00-UP/Document ID 24688
September 22, 2003, LUTC Staff Report Page 4
Of the cities noted above, none allowed mini-warehouse uses in their least intensive
commercial zones. In all but one of the cities, these zones are neighborhood business zones
with purposes similar to Federal Way's. The one exception is the City of Renton, as outlined
below.
Renton has a Convenience Commercial zone, (the least intensive retail use zone), that does
not permit mini-warehouse. Renton's next most intensive retail'zone is the Center
Neighborhood (CN) zone. This zone is most similar to Federal Way's BN zone. In Renton's
CN zone, mini-warehouse use is allowed subject to a conditional use permit with a hearing
before the Hearing Examiner. The mini warehouse must be part of a mixed- use
development. Additionally, no single use can be greater than 35,000 square feet in Renton's
CN zone, except by a conditional use permit.
4. Summary
Even though mini storage facilities can be designed to lessen their big-box appearance, they
still function as a big box auto/truck-oriented facility. Public storage users are quite unlikely
to walk to and from storage facilities with their furniture, boxes of books, etc., even if they
live on the same block.
Public mini warehouse or storage facilities do not meet the purpose of the Federal Way BN
zone, which is to, "...provide convenient goods...and services...at a pedestrian and
neighborhood scale .... "When large portions of neighborhood business-zoned areas are
developed with non-pedestrian oriented uses, it makes it difficult for the entire area to thrive.
In addition, a review of other cities' zoning codes found that the majority of those reviewed
do not allow mini-warehouse uses in neighborhood business zones. Of codes reviewed, only
Renton's allowed mini-warehouse uses in a similar zone, based on a conditional use permit,
public hearing before a hearing examiner, subject to being part of a mixed use development,
and size restrictions.
VI. SELECTION CRITERIA
FWCC Section 22-523 stipulates eight criteria for selecting amendments for further
consideration.
Criterion #1: Whether the same area or issue was studied during the last amendment process
and conditions in the immediate vicinity have significantly changed so as to make the
requested change within the public interest.
Staff Response: The City has not previously studied a request to allow public mini warehouse or
storage facilities in the BN zone. However, the BN Use Zone Chart was recently reviewed to
determine whether to allow churches, health clubs, and retail establishment providing
entertainment, recreational, or cultural services or activities as permitted uses, and to increase the
density of multiple family, which is already a permitted use.
The City Council approved the following amendments to the Neighborhood Business (BN) Use Zone
Charts on September 16, 2003:
Selection Process -~ 2003 Amendments to the Development Regulations File No. 02-104 i 61-00-UP/Document ID 24688
September 22, 2003, LUTC Staff Report Page 5
(i) Allow churches as a permitted use;
(ii) Allow health clubs subject to a 25,000 square foot limit;
(iii) Allow retail establishments providing entertainment, recreational, or cultural
services or activities subject to a 25,000 square foot limit and with a restriction that
the uses be indoors only; and
(iv) Increase the permitted multiple family residential density from 12 to 18 units per
acre..
These changes should benefit all BN-zoned properties, as they will permit a greater variety of uses
and greater intensity of residential development. However, these changes do not result in public
mini warehouse or storage facilities being appropriate in the BN zone.
Criterion #2: The proposed amendment is consistent with the overall vision of the comprehensive
plan.
Staff Response: Mini-warehouse and storage facilities are not consistent with the overall vision of
the comprehensive plan for BN-zoned areas.
The comprehensive plan vision for the BN zone is that of a pedestrian- and neighborhood-oriented
area. Uses that are pedestrian-oriented have direct visual and physical access to people traveling on
foot. In addition to the uses being pedestrian friendly, the comprehensive plan's vision for the BN
zone is integration of BN uses into surrounding neighborhoods through attention to quality design
and function. Even a well-designed mini-storage facility (with aesthetic treatment to mimic
residential development for example), will not functionally integrate with surrounding
neighborhoods. Public storage facilities are designed to keep clients' possessions secure
necessitating limited access to and through the site. As a result they cannot be functionally
integrated with either adjacent neighborhoods or businesses.
Criterion #3: Whether the proposed amendment meets existing state and local laws, including the
GMA.
Staff Response: There is no language specifically related to this request in existing state and local
laws, including the GMA.
Criterion ibh In the case of text amendments, or other amendments to goals or policies,
whether the request benefits the City as a whole versus a selected group.
Staff Response: Allowing mini-warehouse or storage facilities as a permitted use in the BN zone
would affect all 13 locations currently zoned BN and their adjacent residential uses. Furthermore,
the BC and BP zones permit public storage uses. Allowing mini-warehouse or storage facilities in
the BN zone will result in land use incompatibility and therefore, compromise the City's vision for
neighborhood business areas and the BN zone as a whole.
If the request meets the criteriaset forth in 1-4 above, it shall be further evaluated according
to the following criteria (the request does not meet Criteria #2 and 4 above; however, staff has
evaluated it pursuant to the remaining four criteria):
Criterion #5: Whether the proposed amendment can be incorporated into Planned or active
Selection Process - 2003 Amendments to the Development Regulations File No. 02-104161-00-UP/Document ID 24688
September 22, 2003, LUTC Staff Report Page 6
projects.
Staff Response: This is the only request for changes to the development regulations received for the
2003 amendment cycle. However, as part of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the City
Council gave staff direction to comprehensively review the BN zone in terms of allowable uses and
need for new BN-zoned areas. Staff proposes to add review of the BN zone to the 2004 Planning
Commission Work Program upon approval of the City Council. If the Council determines that this
request should be considered further, it could either be reviewed as part of this year's work
program, or incorporated into next year's comprehensive review of the BN zone.
Criterion #6: Amount of analysis necessary to reach a recommendation on the request. If a large-
scale.study is required, a request may have to be delayed until the following year due to workloads,
staffing levels, etc.
Staff Response: This request will not require large-scale studies. However, it may be appropriate
to defer it to the next year's work program based on the above staff response to Criterion #5.
Criterion #7: Volume of requests received. A large volume of requests may necessitate that some
requests be reviewed in a subsequent year.
Staff Response: This request can be accommodated in this year's work program.
Criterion g8: Order of requests received.
Staff Response: This was the only request for changes to the development regulations received for
the 2003 amendment cycle.
VII.
COUNCIL ACTION
Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-523(d), based on its review of requests according to the criteria in
Section VI of this staff report, the City Council shall determine which requests shall be further
considered for adoption, and shall forward those requests to the Planning Commission for its
review and recommendation. The Council's decision to consider a proposed amendment shall not
constitute a decision or recommendation that the proposed amendment should be adopted, nor
does it preclude later Council action to add or delete an amendment for consideration.
VllI.

Narrative for Proposed Zoning Text Amendmeni
Sponsor: Irmas Charitable Foundation
What: Add a new Section 22-731 -"Warehouse and storage" to Chapter 22 of the Federal
Way Code, using the existing BN matrix, as follows:
Use:
Process:
Minimum Lot Size:
Minimum Required Yards:
Height
Special Regulations:
Public mini-warehouse or storage facilities
Process II
None
Front: 25 feet
Side: 20 feet
Rear: 20 feet
35 feet above average building elevation
Warehouse/storage may include one accessory dwelling
unit;
Type I LandScaping, per {} 22~1565
Purpose: This proposal would allow a property in a BN zone to have a public mini-warehouse
and storage facility on terms and conditions similar to properties in the BC zone, under Section
22-752 of the Federal Way Code.
Rational: The applicant's undeveloped BN zoned property has been on the market for almost a
decade. There has not been any market interest in this property for any of the currently
permitted uses. However, there is a market for a public mini-warehouse and storage facility, to
serve the needs of the general area.
An alternative would to be seek a site specific rezone of this property from BN or BC
or BP, both of which allow a public mini-warehouse and storage facility. However, to date, the
City has not allowed any BC or BP zoning, except along the SR 99 corridor. Therefore, a site
specific rezone from BN to BC or BP to accomplish this purpose is not realistic. The proposed
text amendment preserves the BN zoning, but would add more flexibility to the range of
permitted uses in the BN zone.
Public mini-warehouse and storage facilities are compatible with BN zone uses. An
example of a public mini-warehouse and storage facility currently in the BN zone is on 21 st
Ave SW at SW 312 St, just west of Dash Point Village Shopping Center.
Location: Parcel Numbers 2521039037. 2521039040, 2521039041, and 2521039051 - 2.23

SUPPORT FOR THE AMENDMENT
(Please fill out for all amendments)
Please explain the need for the amendment (why is it being proposed). Include any data,
research, or reasoning that supports the proposed amendment (please attach additional pages
if necessary).
Purpose: This proposal would allow a property in a BN zone to have a public mini-
warehouse and storage facility on terms and conditions similar to properties in the BC
zone, under Section 22-752 of the Federal Way Code.
Rational: The applicant's undeveloped BN zoned property has been on the market for
almost a decade. There has not been any market interest in this property for any of the
currently permitted uses. However, there is a market for a public mini-warehouse and
storage facility, to .serve the needs of the general area.
An alternative would to be seek a site specific rezone of this property from BN or BC or
BP, both of which allow a public mini-warehouse and storage facility. However, to date,
the City has not allowed any BC or BP zoning, except along the SR 99 corridor.
Therefore, a site specific rezone from BN to BC or BP to accomplish this purpose is not
realistic. The proposed text amendment preserves'the BN zoning, but would add more
flexibility to the range of permitted uses in the BN zone.
Public mini-warehouse and storage facilities are compatible with BN zone uses. An
example of a public mini-warehouse and storage facility currently in the BN zone is on
21st Ave SW at SW 312 St, just west of Dash Point Village Shopping Center.

Ordinance to Create Steel Lake Management District Number One
BACKGROUND
In April 2003, residents representing 25 parcels adjacent to Steel Lake submitted a petition to the City Council
requesting the city create a lake management district for Steel Lake. The residents' petition included a scope of
activities, budget and rate structure for the proposed district. On May 6, 2003, the City Council passed Resolution
Number 03-384 declaring its intent to form Lake Management District Number One for Steel Lake. On June 17,
2003, the city council conducted a public hearing for the purpose of accepting testimony in support of and in
opposition to the creation of Lake Management District Number One. On July 1, 2003, the City Council passed
Resolution Number 03-386 submitting the question of creating Lake Management District Number One to the
property owners within the proposed district.
Ballots were mailed out to property owners of record on July 11, 2003. The deadline for retuming ballots was
August 13, 2003. Of 101 ballots mailed, 51 valid ballots were retumed. The value of each ballot was weighted by
the dollar value of the proposed assessment for the parcel. For example, the proposed assessment for a single-
family parcel was $85; therefore, a ballot carried the weight of 85 votes. There were 5,963 votes in favor of
creating the lake management district and 170 votes against.
In response to a simple majority of voters approving creation of a lake management district, a proposed ordinance
creating Lake Management District Number One for Steel Lake is attached.
Upon creation of the lake management district by ordinance, the city council is required to conduct a public
hearing on the proposed assessment role for the district per RCW 36.61.120. Notices of the public heating will be
senf to property owners within the district as required in RCW 36.61.140. The assessment role identifies each
parcel in the district, the acreage and feet of lake front of each parcel, the name and address of each property
owner, and the proposed assessment for each parcel. Objections to the proposed assessment role must be made in
writing in advance of the public hearing. At the public hearing, the city council will consider any objections
received. The city council may correct, revise, raise, lower, change or modify the assessment role or set the
proposed assessment role aside and order a new one be prepared. If the council raises any assessment or includes
new parcels, a new public hearing must be held for the affected property owners.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends placing the following item on the October 7, 2003, City Council agenda for consideration:
· Passage of the attached ordinance creating Lake Management District Number One for Steel Lake and
· Setting a public hearing date for November 14, 2003 for public comment on the assessment role for
propertie~ within the district.

Bathymetry Mapping
BACKGROUND
The City of Federal Way is a partner in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watersheds (WRIA 9)
Forum. The mission of the Forum is to develop a salmon habitat plan that will guide local jurisdictions in
protecting and restoring salmon habitat within the watershed. The watershed includes the northern part of the City
of Federal Way.
The salmon habitat plan is currently being developed. However, some parts of the habitat plan require additional
scientific and technical study before policy recommendations can be developed. One such technical study is basic
mapping of the marine shoreline. At this time, there is no comprehensive mapping of the marine shoreline that
identifies various marine shoreline features such a~ elevation, substrate, vegetation, marine water energy, sediment
transport, and anthropogenic structures.
Understanding these shoreline characteristics will aid in identifying existing salmon habitat areas for migration
and refuge as well as identifying areas in need of restoration. As the main channel of movement for salmon, the
shoreline environment is a critical piece of the salmon habitat restoration planning effort. Salmon use the shoreline
to grow and migrate out to the Pacific Ocean. Salmon using the Federal Way shoreline likely come from Hylebos
and Joe's Creek, South Puget Sound rivers such as the Nisqually and Puyallup, as well as salmon from northern
areas that migrate south in order to find refuge and food.
The Watershed Forum is working to fill these data gaps to ensure the most accurate information is used in
ass~embling the salmon habitat plan. In addition, such data will assist local jurisdictions, including Federal Way, in
meeting recently updated requirements of the Shoreline Master Program. Such mapping efforts will provide a
basic inventory of the shoreline upon which the City can update its land use planning efforts for the marine
shoreline. Updates to the City of Federal Way's Shoreline Master Program are required by 2009.
One specific mapping effort being addressed by the Watershed Forum is to map topographic elevations under
water, also called bathymetry. Bathymetry information provides a three dimensional view of the marine
environmefit. Knowing elevations of the land under water can aid in identifying the extent of important salmon
habitat areas and existing anthropogenic modifications such as outfalls, docks, piers, bulkheads, and landfills.
Bathymetry information will assist the Surface Water Management Department in managing outfalls, seeps,
freshwater inputs, and shoreline erosion.
Bathymetry mappin'g is being coordinated in a larger regional mapping effort with the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife in partnership with the federal government. Areas of Puget Sound, Straits of Juan de Fuca and
the Columbia River will be mapped using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. This is the first time
this technology will be applied in Puget Sound and represents a significant opportunity to contribute to the base of
knowledge about the Puget Sound shoreline. LiDAR is a preferred option because it can map up to 30 feet deep,
gives a high level of resolution, and matches up well with land based topographic maps. In addition, the region-
wide effort will save on expensive mobilization costs.
To support the bathymetric mapping of WRIA'9, the King Conservation District has granted funds to' the
Washington Department offish and Wildlife to conduct mapping within King County. Since the City of Federal
Way is not a member of the district, the City is being asked to contribute directly to the costs of the bathymetric
mapping in order to complete the mapping of the entire watershed. In addition, staff has requested the mapping
effort include Federal Way shoreline outside the WRIA 9 boundary so that the entire city will be completed.
The estimated cost ofbathymetry mapping for the entire shoreline within the City of Federal Way is $5,123. The
Watershed Forum will contribute $58,633 and the City of Seattle will contribute an additiOnal $37,000 for a total
of$100, 756. Therefore, the City of Federal Way would be contributing 5% of the total bathymetry mapping effort
in WRIA 9.
Attached is a scope of work (Attachment A) for the mapping effort that outlines the specific mapping activities
and work products. In addition, the attachment includes a letter from the WRIA 9 Forum outlining its expectations
of the mapping project.
Additional costs for mapping other attributes such as substrate, vegetation and anthropogenic structures are
currently being negotiated with the Watershed Forum. Surface Water Management will continue to coordinate
these additional mapping efforts with the Community Development Department to assist in meeting requirements
of the shoreline under the Shoreline Master Program.
FUNDING AVAILABLE
The project will be funded through an existing Inter-Local Agreement with King County and will use existing
funding from the Stormwater Utility small works fund, 304-3100-111-596-42-410. The project is forecasted to
start in mid October with the aerial flight and have the data reduced and delivered in a GIS format by early 2004.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Committee place the following recommendation on the October 21 st, 2003 City Council
Consent Agenda:
Approve expending no more than $6,000 Surface Water Management's Small Works CIP budget to
conduct bathymetric mapping of the marine shoreline within the City of Federal Way through an existing
ILA with King County.

Re: Letter of Agreement in Support of LiDAR Survey
Gentlemen:
This letter, written on behalf of the local jurisdictions of Water Resource Inventory
Area (WRIA) 9, is to confirm the understanding with representatives of the Puget
Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP) for the completion of
the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey on the Puget Sound shoreline
within the limits of King County. As. shown on the enclosed map, the area to be
.__surveyed is located on the eastem'~hdre of Puget Sound'from the southern City Of
Seattle limit to the southern limit of the City of Des Moines and includes all of the
shorelines of Vashon and Mm~ry Islands. The purpose of the survey is to obtain the
existing nearshore bathymetric conditions within the mapped areas.
It is understood that the WRIA 9 portion of the cost of the LiDAR survey work is
estimated as follows:

Scope of Work
Surveying and Mapping
Hydrographic LiDAR and Topographic LiDAR Acquisition
King County Department of Natural Resources (on behalf of Watershed Resource
Inventory Area 9 Technical Committee)
Puget Sound, Washington
1 .General
a. Location: The project covers the Puget Sound shoreline within the limits of
King County. 'The area is located on the eastern shore of Puget Sound from
the southern City of Seattle limit to the southern city limit of the City of Des
Moines and includes Jail of the shorelines of Vashon and Manry Islands.
See Enclosure 1 for an image of the project.
b.Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to obtain the existing near shore
bathymetric conditions along the areas as outlined in Enclosures 1.
c. Compliance: Surveying and Mapping shall be in strict compliance with
EM-1110-1-1000 for Photogrammetric Mapping, EM-1110-1-1002 Survey
Markers and Monumentation, EM- 1110-1-1003 NAVSTAR Global
Positioning System Surveying, EM- 1110-1-1004 Deformation Monitoring
and Control Surveying, EM-1110-1-1005 Topographic Surveying, EM-
I 110-2-1003 Hydrographic Surveying, EM-1110-1-2909 Geospatial Data
and System, Tri-Services A/E/C CADD Standards, Tri-Services Spatial
Data Standards, and Related Spatial Data Products.
d. Rights-of-Entry: The Contractor will be responsible for contacting all
property owners and obtaining fights-of-entry. The Contractor will be
responsible for gaining access to any area restricting over flights.
e. Safety: Operations shall be in full compliance with appropriate Federal,
State, County and City safety rules and regulations.
f. The contractor's employees will at all times conduct themselves in a manner
compatible with. the non-personal services nature of this contractual
instrument. The contractor's workfOrce will under no circumstances allow
themselves to be under the supervision and control of a Government officer
or emPloyee.
2. Survey Requirements
a. Hydrographic Lidar: Hydrographic lidar data are required inside the
hatched area as shown on Enclosure 1. Requirements for survey are spot
density shall be a minimum of 4 meters by 4 meters, vertical elevations shall
08/06/03
PSNERP - LiDAR Scope
be accurate to +/- 25 cm (lo) and horizontal positioning shall be accurate to
+/- 3 m (lc0. All flight lines shall have a minimum of 25% sidelap with
adjacent flight lines and at least three cross flight lines are required.
Maximum depth of the Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) penetration is
dependent upon water clarity; the maximum depth of detection 'is to three
times Secchi depth. Therefore, the survey should be flown on days when the
weather and water quality are present to reasonably assure the success of
data collection at the survey sites. Thales GeoSolutions and JALBTCX will
monitor the long-range weather forecast for the Puget Sound area leading up
to the target survey window. During the same period, the USGS, if willing,
will conduct Secchi Disk measurements to confirm that water quality is
acceptable for survey. After consultation with the USGS, Thales
GeoSolutions and JALBTCX will make a decision regarding mobilization.
This decision will be based on both weather forecasts and water clarity
information. Areas where no depths are collected due to poor water clarity
shall be re-flown when and if conditions are better suited for bathymetric
lidar collection in that specific area during this project mobilization. After
the second attempt, if no depths are collected, a meeting shall be held
between USGS, Thales GeoSolutions and JALBTCX to evaluate the reasons
for no depth at that location. Thales GeoSolutions and JALBTCX shall not
be responsible for remobilizing at a later date to fill in these holes, however.
b.Topographic Lidar: Topographic lidar data will be collected along the
shoreline of the survey area as outlined on Enclosure 1,from waters edge
inland for approximately 100 meters. This data will be used primarily to
QC the bathymetric LIDAR data where there is overlap, though topographic
data where there is no tree canopy shall be delivered. The topographic
survey requirements are vertical elevations shall be accurate to +/- 25 em
(lc0 and horizontal positioning shall be accurate to +/- 3 meter (lc0. The
topographic lidar data shall be collected at a minimum of 3 meter by 1 meter
spot spacing. A minimum swath width of 100 meters shall be provided
along all shoreline and beaches within the limits of the survey area. All
flight lines shall have a minimum 25% with adjacent flight lines.
Topographic data (clipped to remove areas with tree canopy) and
hydrographic data are to be merged to form one digital terrain model.
c. Horizontal Control and Datum: Any horizontal control used for this project
shall be referenced to a published monument with a position quality of at
least First Order Class I. The final projection for this project shall be the
Washington State Plane North projection, spheroid GRS80, NAD83, units
of Feet.
d. Vertical Control and Datum: Any vertical control used for this project shall
be referenced to a published monument with a position quality of at least
Second Order Class I. The vertical datum for this project shall be WGS84
Ellipsoid heights, NAVD88, and MLLW with the units of Feet. NAVD88
08/06/03
PSNERP - LiDAR Scope
elevations are to be detennined from Geoid99 and MLLW elevations are to
be determined from the difference between NAVD88 and MLLW at the
control monument used as the GPS base station at each survey area.
3.Digital Data
a. Bathymetric Data: The Contractor shall make the necessary computations to
verify the accuracy Of all measurements and apply the proper theory of
location in accordance with the law or precedent. The contractor shall
compute and tabulate the horizontal and vertical positions to include the
application of any GPS kinematic data, tidal or water level corrections for
all hydrographic lidar data collected. The contractor shall review and edit
all hydro data for discrepancies before combining with final DTM. A copy
of the raw waveform data with viewer and processed output information
shall be provided to the client.
b.Topographic Data: The Contractor shall make the necessary computations
to verify the accuracy of all measurements and apply the proper theory of
location in accordance with the law or precedent. The Contractor shall
compute and tabulate the horizontal and vertical positions to include the
application of any GPS kinematic data corrections for all topographic lidar
data collected. The Contractor shall review and edit all topographic data for
discrepancies before combining with final DTM.
c. All digital point data shall be provided with horizontal position (X and Y)
recorded of the estimated beam center recorded to the nearest 1.0 foot,
· vertical position (Z) recorded to the nearest 0.1 foot, and time recorded to
the nearest microsecond.
d. DTM: The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) shall be developed from the
combined Hydrographic and Topographic lidar data sets (exclusive of areas
where there is tree canopy). The DTM shall be of adequate density and
quality to produce contours at a 0.5-meter contour interval, though contours
will not actually be delivered. All data used in the development of the DTM
shall be delivered in ASCII with the following space delimited format: x y z
time Julian date. Time shall be recorded to the nearest microsecond.
e. Coverage Map: A coverage map depicting the survey limits and the area
where elevations were obtained with in the survey limits for each of the
three sites shall be created in shape file format compatible with ArcView
3.2.
f. Imagery: Digital images collected with the SHOALS 1000 T System are to
be supplied to the client in JPEG format with time tag data. The time tag
information can be used to associate images with the aircraft trajectory and
orientation data.

PSNERP - LiDAR Scope
g. Metadata: The metadata describes the content, identification, data quality,
spatial data organization, spatial reference, entity and attribute information,
distribution, metadata reference, and other characteristics of data. Each
survey project shall have metadata submitted with the final data submittal.
· All metadata submitted must be compliant with the Federal Geographic
Data Committee Standard "Content Standard for Digital Geospatial
Metadata", FGDC-STD-001-1998. This standard is available for download
from www.fgdc.gov. A graphical, annotated workbook explaining the
standard is available in PDF format at www.fgdc.gov.
4.Quality Control / Quality Assurance: In order to determine the intemal
reproducibility of the data collected a series of DTM comparisons with statistical
analysis shall be performed. As specified in section 2a, at least three
hydrographic lidar tie lines shall be flown in each survey area. During processing
of the hydrographic and topographic lidar data, three DTMs shall be produced for
each area. One DTM shall be produced for the bathymetric lidar data, one shall
be produced for the bathymetric lidar tie line data, and one shall be produced for
the topographic lidar data. These DTMs shall then be compared and difference
DTMs produced. A difference DTM between the bathymetric lidar DTM and
topographic lidar DTM shall be produced and a difference DTM between the
bathymetric lidar DTM and the bathymetric lidar tie line DTM shall also be
produced. A statistical analysis of the difference DTM grid nodes can then be
performed. Such a process will verify the internal reproducibility of the data
collected in each survey area.
5.Report of Survey: The Contractor shall furnish a digital (*.doc) file with the final
deliverable. The report shall include Right-of-Entry information, Control
monuments Designation recovered, destroyed, fixed, included in control network,

2003/2004 Implementation of Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plans and Program Agreement
with WSDOT
BACKGROUND
Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law was adopted by the 1991 Legislature and incorporated
into the Washington Clean Air Act as RCW 70.94.521 through 70.94.551. Its intent is to improve air quality and
reduce fuel consumption and traffic congestion through employer-based programs by encouraging the use of
alternatives to single occupant vehicle (SOV) for the commute trip.
The law requires that all maj or employers, both public and private, who employ one hundred (100) or more full-
time employees who are scheduled to arrive at a single worksite between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. to develop plans
and programs to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) commute trips.
Currently, there are 14 worksites within the City of Federal Way that are affected by the CTR Law. The
employers that are currently affected are as follows:
1. Berger/ABAM Engineers, Inc.
2. Capital One
3. City of Federal Way
4. EDS
5. Finance Pacific
6. Saint Francis Hospital
7. United States Government Postal Services
8. World Vision
9. Weyerhaeuser Company Sites (6 sites)
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) provides technical assistance funding to the City
for implerffenting the commute trip reduction (CTR) plans. The CTR program requires an agreement with
WSDOT. The purpose of the agreement is to allow the State to reimburse the City for its proportionate share of
the technical assistance funding. The work performed under this agreement is as described in the attached Exhibit
II, Scope of Work. Based on the current 14 affected worksites, the City of Federal Way will receive
approximately $23,908 annually for the 2004/2005 biennium.
As in the past, due to workload and expertise, the city will continue to use the technical fund from WSDOT to
contract with King County for support services. Staff will present this contract to the LUTC and Council
committee as a separate item.

2003/2004 Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Program; Professional Services Agreement with
King County Metro
BACKGROUND
Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law was adopted by the 1991 Legislature and incorporated
into the Washington Clean Air Act as RCW 70.94.521 through 70. 94.551. Its intent is to improve air quality and
reduce fuel consumption and traffic congestion through employer-based programs by encouraging the use of
altematives to single occupant vehicle (SOV) for the commute trip.
The law requires that all maj or employers, both public and private, who employ one hundred (100) or more full-
time employees who are scheduled to arrive at a single worksite between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. to develop plans
and programs to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) commute trips.
Currently, there are 14 worksites within the City of Federal Way that are affected by the CTR Law. The
employers that are currently affected are as follows:
1. Berger/ABAM Engineers, Inc.
2. Capital One
3. City of Federal Way
4. EDS
5. Finance Pacific Leasing
6. Saint Francis Hospital
7. United States Government Postal Services
8. World Vision
9. Weyerhaeuser Company Sites (6 sites)
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
In order to Comply with the state CTR Law and to ensure consistency and fairness in its administration, the City
entered into a Professional Services Agreement with King County Metro. Staff believes this is a cost-effective
relationship, as most cities have a full-time CTR coordinator. The purpose of the agreement is to delegate
implementation of the CTR Act as required b9 state law and local CTR Ordinances to King County Metro. The
work perform under this agreement are as described in the attached Exhibit A, Commute Trip Reduction
Professional Services Contract Scope of Work.
k:\lutc~2003\0929 ctr agreement with king co metro.dot
The 2003/2004 Professional Services Agreement will be funded by the state CTR grant through a separate
contract. Based on the current 14 affected worksites, the City of Federal Way will receive approximately $23,908
in state grant monies. The State CTR grant would be substantial enough to fully fund the 2003/2004 Agreement
with Metro, which is currently $23,570. Please see attached Exhibit B for assumptions of state grant and
expenditures from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends placing the following on the October 7, 2003 Council consent agenda for approval:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Services Contract with King County

MEETING DATE: September 29, 2003
City staff has been working on a variety of issues relating to the PAA for the past year. This report will
discuss the progress made on a variety of issues and outline Council options for possible future
consideration.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
The State Supreme Court reached a decision that amended the petition annexation method the state had
been using for years and added confusion about how cities could accomplish an annexation. Last year, the
State Legislature further amended the annexation methods and provided some additional options for
annexations. Since that time the State Supreme Court has agreed to reconsider their decision but there is
no timeline tied to this reconsideration and we have been told that the State Legislature will most likely
look at the annexation issues again in their next session.
The established methods currently available for annexation are:
· The Island Method- When an area is surrounded by at least 60 percent by one or more
jurisdictions, the City that has it in their adopted PAA can annex the island legislatively. Voters in
the area do have the ability to rescind the annexation by a majority vote.
· The Petition Method- A majority of the property owners and registered voters in the area must
sign a petition to annex the area.
· Election Method Initiated by Petition - When 10 percent of the number of voters in the last
election within the area sign a petition to add a proposition for annexation. A majority vote will
approve the annexation.
· Election Method by Resolution - The City Council may pass a resolution to add an area for
annexation to the next general election. A majority of votes in the area pass the annexation.
The annexation methods described above are greatly over-simplified. They do not include the public
hearings, legal notices, and Boundary Review Board process.
PAA STUDY UPDATE
The consultants have completed the PAA report, which is contained in two parts: The PAA Subarea Plan
and the PAA Feasibility Study. The final Stakeholders meeting was held last Monday night and the final
Open House is Thursday, the 25t~. (A verbal report of these meetings will be included in the presentation
to LUTC.)
The PAA Subarea Plan essentially follows the existing King County designations. The staff adopted the
position of not sponsoring wholesale changes because of the more extensive environmental review and
public process that would be required and was not anticipated with this study. The PAA Feasibility Study
shows a yearly hypothetical City deficit of around three million dollars if the City were to annex the entire
PAA study area.
The next step of the process is to complete the State Environmental Protection Act Review (SEPA),
which we anticipate to have completed by sometime in November. Following the comment and appeal
period for this review, a public hearing will be scheduled for the Planning Commission to review staff
proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Designations and Policies and individual Comprehensive Plan Map
requests. This discussion must be folded into the adoption of the next Comprehensive Plan Update, which
will most likely occur in November.
No action on the PAA Study is required of the LUTC at this time.
REDONDO EAST UPDATE
Background - At thc July 7th LUTC meeting the staff were directed to pursue the annexation of the
Redondo East area through the Island Method of annexation. City staff met with a King County
representative to discuss initiation of this annexation. The next step in the process is to prepare a
resolution for the Council that will direct staff to begin negotiation with King County for an interlocal
agreement. King County agreed to provide a "boilerplate" resolution that we can use as a model. Council
then conducts a public hearing and adopts the interlocal agreement and an ordinance that provides the
effective date of annexation, zoning, and bonded indebtedness.
Area Description - The Redondo East area has approximately 260 citizens and 150 housing units. The
housing units are composed of Crestwood Senior Mobile Park and Applewood Subdivision. There is a
strip of vacant multi-family zoned property along Pacific Highway, South of the "Y" at 16th Avenue
South. A variety of commercial properties, developed, undeveloped, and under-developed compose the
remaining parcels. One of the larger underdeveloped properties is the vacant entertainment center. The
consultant's report shows this area as generating a small increase in revenue over the City's expenses,
should the City decide to annex.
Suggested L UTC Recommendation - "I move to direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption by the
Council to enter into negotiations with King County over an interlocal agreement for the annexation of
Redondo East area."

NORTH LAKE AREA
Boundaries - Councilmember Faison has asked staff to provide information regarding the North Lake and
Regency Woods/Brittany Lane areas for consideration of annexation. The North Lake area is bounded on
the north by 320t~, on the east by Peasley Canyon Road, on the south by Highway 18, and on the west by
the City boundaries.
The North Lake Area is approximately 384 acres of which nearly half is developed into residential
properties. Another 126 acres is undeveloped, about 100 acres is in utilities and streets, and there is a very
small percentage in commercial, office, and open space. Commercial land includes a nursery and gas
station. The average assessed value of homes in this area is about $190,000. The 2003 population is
estimated at 600.
The PAA Study has the following analysis on the North Lake area:
"In relative terms, the small North Lake area is likely to come the closet to breaking even. North
Lake has taxable property per resident that is more than 50 percent higher than that of the three
PAA's combined (Table D-4, values that translate into roughly a 20 percent boost in the area's
per capita revenues). We also estimate that North Lake will generate lower-than-average demand
for public safety services. However, North Lake appears to generate only very low levels of sales
tax revenues.
On balance, our rough assessment is that even annexation of the North Lake neighborhood would
generate net costs in excess of $50 per resident." (Annexation Feasibility Study pp D 4,5.)
Options - The Geographic Information System analysis of the North Lake area shows that the area
qualifies for the island annexation method by less than one percent.
If the Council wishes to actively pursue annexation in this area, the election method by resolution would
be the best option, absent property owners that want to facilitate a petition or ballot measure. The
estimated cost to put an issue on the ballot is about $2.00 per registered voter. This cost includes legal
notices. This expense has not been budgeted at this time. The next available election for this issue is in
February.
Suggested LUTC Recommendation - "I move to direct the staff to prepare a resolution for Council
adoption at the October 21' 2003, meeting to put the North Lake area annexation on the next available
election."

REGENCY WOODS/BRITTANY LANE AREA
Boundaries - The Regency Woods/Brittany Lane area is roughly a triangle within the Parkway area of the
pAA study. It is bounded by I-5 on the west, Enchanted Parks on the east, and City of Milton on the
south.
Background- When Enchanted Parks was annexed into the City of Federal Way; there was initially some
interest from the Regency Woods and Brittany Lane residents about annexing into the City. This idea was
tabled at the time because there were infrastructure problems within these relatively new developments
that the property owners, King County, and the developer were still resolving. These problems have since
been taken care of.
A rough estimate of the population for this area is 1100. There is a large condominium to the north,
Regency Ridge. The Regency Woods subdivision composes the majority of the area and there is a small
commercial strip to the south including a junkyard. The junkyard is relevant to mention because it is the
one use within the PAA that requires immediate compliance according to Federal Way City Code Section
22.330(a)(9). Staff is researching possible options for this situation. It would not make sense to omit this
parcel from an area-wide annexation because it would leave an isolated parcel between Federal Way and
Milton that King County would have to provide services.
Specific information about this area is difficult to report because the information we have is for the
greater Parkway area. The PAA report does place the Parkway neighborhood as the lowest recommended
priority for annexation because their cost estimate to serve that area is the highest. Breaking out this area
as defined above, may lower the cost to serve by some extent. The average assessed value for homes in
the Parkway neighborhood is $172,000.
Options - This area does not qualify for the island method of annexation. If the Council wishes to pursue
this area, the election method by resolution would be the best option. The costs would be the same as
described in the North Lake area above.
Suggested L UTC Recommendation -"I move to direct staff to prepare a resolution for Council adoption
at the October 21, 2002, meeting to put the Regency Woods area annexation on the next available
election."

STAFF IMPACT
The only time currently on the Community Development Work Program for annexations is to complete
the PAA study. The department has 1.5 FTE's devoted to all non-permit planning work. Additionally,
there is some consulting money budgeted for code amendments and special projects. Should the Council
decide to move forward with these annexation proposals as a high priority, staff will prepare a revised
work program that we will present to LUTC at a future meeting.
