A. Ist Avenue South Shoulder Widening 30% Design Status Report - This project reconstructs a
st th st
shoulder and asphalt curb along 1 Avenue South between South 356 Street and South 361 Street near
Illahee Junior High School. The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian safety (specifically school
children) along this stretch of roadway. Due to the size and type of project and in an effort to take advantage
of efficiencies, staff is requesting that this project be incorporated into the 2002 Asphalt Overlay Project. A
citizen and the Federal Way School District requested this project. The Committee m/s/c the staff
recommendation to the City Council to: 1) authorize staff to finalize the design of the 1st Avenue South
th
Shoulder Improvements (S 356 Street to S 361st Street) Project, and 2) bid this project as a schedule in the
2002 Asphalt Overlay Project.
B. Planning Commission 2002 Work Plan - Each year the City Council is asked to review and prioritize
the Planning Commission Work Program for the coming year. Because the City Council requested staff to
review the permit process, new amendment proposals may arise and the Work Program may come back to
the Committee. City staff is currently working on the following items from the 2001 Planning Commission
Work Program: development agreements, group homes code amendment, Potential Annexation Area
Study, large retail in the City Center code amendment, residential nonconformances code amendment, and
traffic impact fees. In addition, City staff has not started work on the following items from the 2001 Work
Program: wellhead protection code amendment, planned action SEPA for the City Center, miscellaneous
code amendments, Endangered Species Act (ESA), and 2002 Comprehensive Plan updates. New items
proposed for the 2002 Work Program are: home occupation requirements, day care code amendment,
parking the City Center code amendment, gas stations in the City Center Frame code amendment, land
surface modifications code amendment, process for development agreements, and other code amendments
as a result of the review of the permit process. The Committee agreed that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan
update and the permit process review are two top priorities. In order to help with the Committee's decision,
they instructed Director of Community Development Services Kathy McClung to bring back a prioritized list
of the items in a calendar format to next week's meeting, taking into consideration staff resources and which
items are small-term and which are large-term projects.

Briefing - Christian Faith Center Development Agreement
A. BACKGROUND
On November 5, 2001, staff presented a draft outline in bullet format on a development agreement
that would govern the change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning of approximately 50
acres located south of South 336th Street and east of Pacific Highway South, proposed to be used for
a church and school by the Christian Faith Center (CFC). Subsequently, staffhas been working with
representatives of the CFC on the terms of the agreement. On January 7, 2002, staff requested
approval from the Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) to add a new item to the 2002
Planning Commission Work Program to prepare a new process that would govern review and
approval of development agreements. The LUTC approved the staff recommendation during the
January 7th meeting and made a motion to forward their recommendation to the full Council for
action on February 5, 2002.
We have reached a tentative agreement with CFC on the majority of items in the proposed
development agreement and would like to again present the draft outline in bullet format to the
LUTC for direction prior to requesting CFC to prepare a development plan.
B. ITEMS OF AGREEMENT
City staff and CFC have discussed and reached a tentative agreement on the following items:
The development agreement shall be accompanied by a development plan showing the
proposed development at build out of all property that is part of the agreement including all
buildings, parking, and circulation areas, and other major improvements and buffers.
The proposed church and school will be classified as a dual principal use. This would require
those portions of the site that contain the church and its accessory uses to comply with the
development standards of Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-671, and those portions
of the site containing the school and its accessory uses to comply with those of FWCC Section
22-674.
The use of the site is restricted to that of a church and a school with the authorized uses as
shown in attached Table I- List of Allowed Principal and Accessory Uses and on the
Development Plan.
The Development Plan shall be subject to the terms of the February 5, 1996, Settlement
Agreement between the City of Federal Way and Federal Way Industrial Park.
Amendments to the agreement shall be done only by a written instrument executed by all
parties pursuant to the appropriate procedures of FWCC Chapter 22, or as may be amended.
Approval of the development agreement and development plan shall constitute the final
development permit approval. Any future building permits shall substantially comply with the
approved development plan.
The Director of Community Development Services may approve minor modifications to the
development plan pursuant to Process II review and approval, based on a submitted site plan
portraying said modifications. These modifications must conform to the terms of the
agreement. Once approved, the development plan shall be amended.
For purposes of this development agreement, th~ front yard is determined to be adjacent to S.
336th. Setbacks for structures and playfields shall conform to Table II, unless a larger setback is
required by City code for wetlands or streams.

conditions mutually agreed upon by Christian Faith Center and the city and/or public agency at
the beginning of each school year. The sanctuary shall be made available for city sponsored or
endorsed programs one weekend per quarter as follows: Friday and Sunday 5:00 - 10:00 p.m.
and Saturday 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. In addition, the sanctuary shall be made available two times per
year for special events based on mutual agreement between the city and CFC. City staff will be
responsible for scheduling all events
Note: The Development Agreement will address times of authorized uses, a list of authorized
users, liability, and maintenance.
Briefing - Christian Faith Center Development Agreement Page 4
12.
If requested by King County Metro or other transit authority, Christian Faith Center shall agree
to the use of a portion of the parking lot as a Park and Ride or Carpool/Vanpool lot subject to
agreed upon terms between Christian Faith Center and the public agency.
13.
The comprehensive plan designation and zoning of the site shall revert to Business Park,
unless a building permit for either a church or school is submitted within one year of approval
of the development agreement and development plan.
14. The site may be constructed in two phases only:
(i) Construction of Sanctuary/School Auditorium and associated improvements, such as
parking and landscaping.
(ii) Construction of school and sports complex and associated improvements, such as
parking and landscaping.
Either the school or sanctuary may be constructed as the first phase. At that time that the first
phase is constructed, all associated drainage facilities must also be constructed. In addition, the
frontage improvements along 336~, the construction of South 340t~ Street, and the extension of
20th Avenue through the site to a point to be determined upon further review must be done. The
traffic light and left turn lanes on all approaches at 20th Avenue South and South 336th Street
must also be constructed. All mitigation as identified in the Transportation Impact Analysis
(TIA) and through the SEPA process must be done as necessary to mitigate the impacts
associated with each phase. The south parking lot may be constructed at any time as long as it
has not been identified as necessary parking to serve either phase.
The phases may overlap; however, the shell of each building must be completely constructed
and all on-site and off-site improvements associated with each phase and other impacts as
identified through the SEPA and Development Agreement process must be mitigated. Tenant
improvements may subsequently occur as the need arises.
15. Christian Faith Center must mitigate all traffic impacts from its development based on a
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA), which must be prepared as part of SEPA review.
C. ITEMS NEEDING DIRECTION FROM LUTC
Staff is requesting direction from LUTC on the size of the school and on whether the Dominion
College should be treated as an accessory use. The following is organized first by discussion of each
issue followed by a staff recommendation.
1. Size of School
Discussion: The total student enrollment of the K-12 school is proposed to be 900 students in
two phases. The first phase would be a 75,000 square foot building to accommodate 650
students, and the second phase would be a 25,000 square foot expansion to accommodate an
additional 250 students, for a total of 100,000 square feet and 900 students.
Briefing - Christian Faith Center Development Agreement Page 5
Although this will be a private school, staff evaluated the CFC proposal relative to the acreage
requirements of WAC 180-26-020, which governs schools receiving state monies. This code
requires a potential site for a school to have a minimum of five useable acres and one
additional acre for each 100 students, or portion thereof, of projected maximum enrollment,
plus an additional five useable acres if the school contains any grade above grade six.
However, WAC 180-26-020 also allows less than the required minimum acreage to be utilized
based on the following criteria:
(a) The health and safety of the students will not be in jeopardy;
(b) The internal spaces within the proposed facility will be adequate for the proposed
educational program;
(c) The neighborhood in which the school facility is or will be situated will not be
detrimentally impacted by lack of parking for students, employees, and the public; and
(d) The physical education and recreational program requirements will be met.
Based on the development plan, the site would be divided by the southerly extension of 20th
Avenue. The area east of 20th Avenue including all wetlands and buffers and the on-site
detention is approximately 19.72 acres. Once the wetlands and buffers are excluded,
approximately 13.91 acres are left. The area west of 20th Avenue to be utilized as the church
site consists of approximately 17.89 useable acres. Based on submitted information, the school
will be using some of the church facilities such as the sanctuary as an auditorium. In addition,
the parking on the west side of 20th Avenue could be used as overflow parking for the school, if
necessary as the school and church will operate at different times.
Staff Recommendation: Due to the proximity and functional relationship between the church
and the school, there appears to be adequate space, including parking for the operation of the
school; therefore, staff recommends allowing a maximum amount of 900 students.
2. Dominion College
Discussion: Table I lists the church and school as principal uses with their respective
accessory uses. Principal uses are depicted by a P and accessory uses by an A. Pursuant to
FWCC Section 2-1, Definitions, "Accessory means a use, activity, structure or part of a
structure which is subordinate and incidental to the main activity or structure on the subject
property."
One of the proposed accessory uses is a Dominion College. Initially, the Dominion College
would be located in a 3,160 square foot area on the first floor, then as the church membership
expands, the college would be relocated to a 22,581 square foot area on the second floor.
Based on FWCC Section 2-1, Definitions, colleges are defined as a post-secondary institution
for higher learning that grants associate or bachelor degrees and may also have research
facilities and/or professional schools that grant master and doctoral degrees. Colleges may also
include community colleges that grant associate or bachelor degrees or certificates of
completion in business or technical fields. Colleges meeting this definition would not be
allowed as a principal use in the RM 2400 zone. Based on information presented by the CFC,
the Dominion College offers an associate degree in biblical discipleship, which is intended to
Briefing - Christian Faith Center Development Agreement Page 6
train pastors in the church. Presently, the Dominion College in Sea Tac has approximately 35
students. The Dominion College does not restrict students to members of the CFC, but in
general the majority of students are CFC members.
Staff Recommendation: For purposes of the development agreement, allowable accessory
uses must be clearly associated with the principal use and must principally serve members of
the Christian Faith Center (CFC) congregation, students attending the CFC school, or staff of
the church or school. A biblical college, which is intended to principally train CFC members,
may be considered an accessory use to a church based on the FWCC definition of accessory.
D. SUMMARY AND REQUEST FOR DIRECTION
Staff is requesting direction from the LUTC based on the following questions:
1. Does the LUTC agree with all items in Section B, Items of Agreement?
2. Does the LUTC agree with the staff recommendation in Section C, Items Needing
Direction from LUTC?
Based on a response to the above question, staff is requesting the LUTC to choose from the
following options:
1. Direct staff to continue work on the development agreement as presented.
2. Direct staff to modify the development agreement based on action taken this evening.

SR 509 (Dash Pont Road) and 8th Avenue SW Traffic Signal and Road Improvement
Project- 100 % Design Approval and Authorization to Bid
BACKGROUND
This is the last of the projects to be constructed as a part of the 1995 voter approved bond issue. Currently this intersection is
offset and not signalized. At peak traffic periods, access to Dash Point Road is very difficult, contributing to traffic
congestion and accidents. This project will install a traffic signal, channelization to allow left turns, improvements to street
lighting, and sidewalks at the intersection for bus stops.
Due to delays in obtaining approvals to install a new traffic signal at the offset intersection and other design deviations
required from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), timing of the bond projects, a SEPA appeal,
installing a retaining wall on the west side of the road, asphalt overlay of SR 509 by the WSDOT, this project has been
delayed and the project cost has increased. All approvals from WSDOT and for the right of way have been obtained. The
project is therefore ready to be bid.
Public Works staff is requesting approval to transfer funds into the project as shown below. The $339,800 "blue ribbon"
unappropriated bond funds are not being used.
Project Funds $364,000
Interest 11,962
Mitigation Funds 11,470
Unappropriated Bond Interest 355,481
Unappropriated Traffic CIP 11,054
WSDOT Overlay Funds 20,000
Total Budget Available
$773,967
The following table shows the estimated costs for design, right of way and construction of the new traffic signal and mm
lanes:
Design $195,000
Right-of-Way/Easements 4,500
Construction Management/Inspection 5,000
WSDOT Review 20,000

SeaTac Mall Detention, Phase II Storm Drainage Improvements Final Acceptance and Retainage
Release
BACKGROUND
The SeaTac Mall Drainage project was completed in January 2001, but the contractor Katspan began to have financial
difficulties at this time. The majority of the contractors' staff left and there were numerous liens and lawsuits filed against
them. Shortly after this, the City was informed by the bonding company (American Safety Casualty) that they had been
assigned this project by the contractor and would be completing any remaining contract items. As a part of the contract, "as-
built" drawings were required of the drainage system and the bonding company paid to have this work performed by the
surveyor Baseline Incorporated.
When staff reviewed the "as-builts" they identified some pipe runs with a small adverse grade. The City's consultant
performed a hydraulic analysis on the storm drainage system installed by Katspan and confirmed it would perform per the
hydraulic design criteria. No adjustments within the trunk system were needed to meet the criterion. The small adverse
grades could cause some sediment accumulation that may require periodic vactor cleaning at the low points.
Katspan completed all construction work; however, the bonding company completed the final "paper work" items and has
been assigned all monies by the contractor. There are numerous lawsuits and liens against the project including one from the
Washington State Department of Revenue. Therefore, the City will be interpleading the final payment and the retainage
amount into King County Superior Court (January 15, 2002 letter to Attorney General and Katspans' Bonding Company).
In June of 1999 a Public Works Trust Fund Loan in the amount of $2,750,000 was approved based upon the original project
estimate. Bids were then received that were lower than the original engineer's estimate and the construction of the project
was completed for $140,950 below the contact amount. The Public Works Trust Fund Loan was for $2,750,000, but we
could not exceed 70% of the total project costs to maintain a 1% interest rate. Draw downs on the loan were 15% and 75%
per the loan agreement for a total of $2,475,000. This amount exceeded the maximum amount of the allowable loan of
$1,927,538.38 (70% maximum of the project costs). Therefore, we are required to return $547,461.62 to the Public Works
Trust Fund.
ACTION
Prior to release ofretainage on any Public Works project, the City Council must accept the work as complete to meet State
Department of Revenue and Department of Labor and Industries requirements. The final cost for the construction of the
SeaTac Mall Detention Phase II Storm Drain Improvements is $2,328,102.96. This cost is $387,855.34 below the approved
construction contract budget of$2,715,958.30 (includes contingency). The City Attorney will interplead the final payment
and retainage into the King County Superior Court.
Staff is also recommending returning $547,461.62 to the Public Works Trust Fund in order to maintain the 70% match for
the 1% interest rate on the loan in accordance with the June 1999 loan agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting the Land Use / Transportation Committee place the following recommendations on the February 19, 2002
Council Consent Agenda:
1. Acceptance of the SeaTac Mall Phase II Drainage Improvement Project construction contract as complete and
authorize the City Attorney to interplead the final payment and retainage into the King County Superior Court per
the January 15, 2002 letter attached.
2. Authorize staff to return $547,461.62 to the Public Works Trust Fund.

City Center Code Amendment Status Report
BACKGROUND
In May of 2001, City staff was asked to develop a code amendment intended to exclude large discount
retail establishments from locating within the City' Center-Core (CC-C) zoning district. Examples of
discount retail establishments include Target, Wal-Mart, and Fred Meyer. The goal of excluding these
types of uses from the CC-C was to promote development that efficiently uses scarce CC-C land and
encourage development that is compatible with the goals of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP).
City staff has developed four alternative code amendment concepts that would permit these types of uses to
locate within the CC-C, versus excluding them outright. City staff believes that prohibiting these types of
uses from locating within the CC-C could inhibit economic investment within the Federal Way Downtown.
The proposed code amendment concepts address the impacts associated with these types of uses such as
their inefficient use of land and incompatibility with the vision of the CC-C as a distinct pedestrian-scale,
mixed-use environment.
The proposed code amendment concepts presented in this memorandum represent a significant departure
from the originally approved scope of work.~ City staff requests the LUTC review each proposed code
amendment concept and select the appropriate concept that should be further developed and presented to
the Federal Way Planning Commission as a proposed code amendment. Once the complete code
amendment has been presented to the Planning Commission, it will be presented to the LUTC for additional
review and comment.
PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
City Center Code Amendment - Alternative I
City staff proposes the establishment of a maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA) limit (i.e. maximum size
limit) for discount retail establishments in the CC-C. Possible maximum GFA limits may be 60,000 or
copy of the May 16, 200 I, LlYrC memorandum outlining the original code amendments scope of work is enclosed for your review.
75,000 square feet. However, such establishments would be allowed to exceed the maximum size limit,
subject to the additional development requirements contained in one of the two following options:
· The retail establishment shall be located within a multistory building with a limited building
footprint. Possible limited building footprints may be 60,000 or 75,000 square feet.
or
One dwelling unit of housing shall be provided for every 1,000 square feet of GFA over the
maximum permitted GFA. Each dwelling unit shall be located above the primary retail
establishment in a multistory building. For example, a 150,000 square foot discount retail
establishment would build 75-units of housing (if the max. GFA were 75,000 square feet).
Pros
The use of a maximum GFA limit and additional development standards will permit discount retail
establishments to locate in the CC-C, as well as promote development that efficiently uses land and is
compatible with the goals and policies of the FWCP.
This alternative would not create any additional nonconforming development within the CC-C zoning district.
Cons
City Center Code Amendment I does not address the similar impacts associated with other comparably
sized non-discount retailers such as JC Penney's, Nordstrom, or Bon Marche. In addition, a code
amendment that only applies to discount retail establishments could create a discriminatory application of
the Federal Way City Code (FWCC). The discriminatory application could occur by applying the proposed
code amendment to lower-end retailers like Wal-Mart and Target, and not applying the code amendment to
comparably sized higher-end retailers such as the Bon Marche and Nordstrom.
The application of City Center Code Amendment I solely to the CC-C could unintentionally siphon
economic investment out of the CC-C and into the City Center-Frame (CC-F) zoning district. Developers
would be more inclined to locate within the neighboring CC-F due to the presence of less development
requirements.
City Center Code Amendment - Alternative II
The application of the maximum GFA limit and additional development standards presented in City Center
Code Amendment I to all retail establishments in the CC-C.
Pro
City Center Code Amendment II addresses the negative impacts associated with all large retail
establishments, versus only discount retail establishments.
Cons
This alternative does not address the impacts associated with large retail shopping centers. The CC-C has
several large shopping centers that cluster together medium sized retail tenants such as Barnes and Noble
Bookstore and Old Navy Clothing. Seatac Village, located on 3204 Street, is a good example of this type of
shopping center'. These types of shopping centers typically have a long string of attached single story
buildings that do not efficiently use CC-C land and are incompatible with the vision of the downtown as an
identifiable, pedestrian-scale community.
city Center Code Amendment Status Report Page 2
This alternative does not address the potential loss of economic investment created by applying the code
amendment solely to the CC-C zoning district. In addition, this alternative would make applicable existing

City Center Code Amendment - Alternative III
The application of the maximum GFA limit and additional development standards presented in City Center
Code Amendment I to all retail establishments, including medium sized retail establishments that are
clustered together into large shopping centers.
Pro
This alternative addresses the impacts associated with medium sized retail establishments that are clustered
together in large shopping centers.
Cons
The development of City Center Code Amendment III would require a significant amount of staff hours to
complete. This task is more complex because the code amendment would need to address multiple buildings
within a shopping center, versus a code amendment that only addresses a large single retail
building/establishment.
This alternative does not address the potential loss of economic investment created by applying the code
amendment solely to the CC-C zoning district. In addition, this alternative would make applicable existing
development more nonconforming with the FWCC.
City Center Code Amendment - Alternative IV
The application of the maximum GFA limit and additional development standards presented in Code
Amendment I to all large retail establishments, including medium sized retail establishments clustered
together in shopping centers in the CC-C and CC-F zoning districts.
Pro
Applying Code Amendment IV to the CC-C and CC-F zoning districts will maintain a more balanced
economic environment within the Federal Way Downtown.
Con
This alternative would make applicable existing development more nonconforming with the FWCC.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff requests the LUTC review each proposed code amendment concept and select the appropriate
concept that should be further developed and presented to the Federal Way Planning Commission as a
proposed code amendment.

Code Amendment- Creation of New Retail Sales Definition
The Federal Way City Code (FWCC) presently contains two definitions that are used to
classify retail sales establishments: Retail sales, bulk; and Retail sales, general and
specialty. The definition of Retail sales, bulk is primarily differentiated from Retail sales,
general and specialty by the sales volume, size of merchandise sold, and the sale of goods
or merchandise to other retailers (wholesale sales). Examples of Retail sales, bulk
merchants are Costco, Eagle ttardware, and Sam's Club.
The FWCC does not presently differentiate between retail establishments, relative to the
scale of the facility and its compatibility with the surrounding environment. The FWCC's
lack of differentiation could permit non-bulk discount retailers such as Target and
Walmart to locate within the City Center-Core District. These types of establislm~ents
typically have a warehouse scale single story building, a disproportionately large surface
parking lot, and single access points to reach the interior of the building. Development of
these uses will make it difficult to realize the vision of the City Center~Core as a distinct,
pedestrian-friendly mixed-use environment.
The staffrecommendation is to revise the definitions section of the FWCC to include a
third definition for classifying retail sales establishn~ents. This definition will differentiate
these types of establishments according to the scale of the facility, relative to the
surrounding environment, and ensure retail uses consistent with the City Center-Core
Comprehensive Plan policies.
Comnfittee Action Required: Recommend approval to the full Council to add the above
code amendment to the Planning Commission work program for 200 l.
