PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment on any item not included in the agenda. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS Part 150 Study Update - On April 25, 2000, the City transmitted Resolution #00-312 requesting that the Port of Seattle Commission support a three-track alternative shifting westbound SeaTac Airport flights from the 320th Street corridor south over the Port of Tacoma (Commencement Bay corridor). Port of Seattle staff did not recommend implementation of either a two or three track dispersal option. On June 5, 2000, the City again transmitted resolution number 00-312 to the Port of Seattle Commission with a cover letter requesting serious consideration of recommendations outlined in the resolution. A fmal vote on the resolution occurred on June 27, 2000. The Commission concurred with all of the Port staff's recommendations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has 180 days to issue a final decision. There is no public process associated with FAA's review of the Study. Draft Comprehensive Plan 1999 Amendments Chapters 3, 6-10 and Parks Comprehensive Plan - There were few significant changes to the Comprehensive Plan Chapters 3 and 6-10. Changes involved minor language edits, deletion of completed projects and deletion of deadlines that have passed. Completed projects were listed as assets rather than goals. It was noted that the water resources section of Chapter 9 will be more fully updated when Lakehaven Utility has completed its Comprehensive Plan. The Utilities Chapter, chapter 10, is essentially unchanged until the 5- year Comprehensive Plan update when a new Telecommunications Ordinance has been adopted. The Committee had several questions about Parks funding and discussed changes in service levels. Following discussion, the Committee m/s/c recommendation to the City Council at its next meeting to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendments Chapters 1-10 and the Parks Comprehensive Plan. The Committee recommended approval of two of the three site-specific requests. Amendment to Countywide Planning Policies - Included in the annexation/incorporation process is a reassignment of housing units from counties to cities as cities annex land. Such process also alters established housing targets for Potential Annexation Areas (PAA). The Committee was o reluctant to support additional housing target numbers. Instead, they directed staffto draft a letter to King County expressing their concerns about Federal Way's housing targets. The Committee also expressed interest in having King County staff speak at an upcoming meeting. Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) Update - Committee member Burbidge reported on recent Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) activity. The Committee requested that the update become a quarterly agenda item. Over the past year, the GMPC has focused primarily on rural policies; housing density, affordability, production and target issues; and the Endangered Species Act. Sound Transit Update - As a response to earlier concerns about the Federal Way Transit Center project being over its projected budget, Sound Transit Project Manager Fred Chou prepared revised cost estimates for all three projects and the HOV Direct Access Ramp, which will serve the Transit Center, for the June 22, 2000, Project Management Team (PMT) meeting. Sound Transit is proposing to bundle the projects together with the Star Lake and Pacific Highway South projects using realized savings to offset other shortages. By combining the projects, the total budgeted amount of $84,394,00 for all the projects is sufficient to cover the projected costs of $83,731,000. The Committee was supportive but directed staff to draft a letter to Sound Transit expressing the City's desire to establish a hierarchy, i.e., the City Center project is the City's highest priority. FUTURE MEETINGS The next meeting will be held in Council Chambers at 5:30 pm on August 7, 2000. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 7:35pm.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: A routine maintenance cleaning of the existing 48" diameter corrugated metal pipe under 11th Place South (between South 320th and South 323rd Place) identified potential damage to the pipe. The inside of the pipe was video-inspected which revealed that the 48" diameter pipe needs to be removed and replaced immediately. The pipe has collapsed in two areas, and all the pipe joints are disconnected and/or separated. SWM staff has completed the 100% project design and specifications and will be providing construction administration. The project design consists of replacing 240 lineal feet of 48" diameter pipe and restoring the street surface. We are requesting 100% design approval and authorization to bid. Construction is estimated to cost $70,000 including a 10% contingency. The project will be funded by the surface water minor capital improvement fund. Since the project estimate is less than $100,000, this project will be bid using the Small Works Roster of contractors maintained by the City. This roster is routinely utilized for smaller construction projects and the City has prior experience with many of the contractors listed. Staff will bring the lowest responsive, responsible bid back to Committee and Council for authorization to award. Staff will be present at the April 3, 2000 LUTC meeting to present the project and to answer questions.

E PAGE_. A OF,q- t The current City of Federal Way subdivision and development review processes were established in 1997 as part of the FWCC Amendments to implement HB 1724, the Regulatory Reform Act of 1995 (RCW 36.70B). As part of its regular review of development regulations, Staff has identified several FWCC sections regarding subdivision and development review processes which are in need of amendment to clarify and improve these processes. Attached is a draft ordinance which identifies the proposed text amendments to the Environmental, Subdivision, and Zoning Chapters of the FWCC regarding subdivision and development review processes. The draft ordinance has been prepared in "line-in/line-out" format, with strikeouts (proposed deletions) and underline (proposed additions) indicated. Additionally, because there is a significant amount of text relative to the minor amendments being proposed, a double vertical line has been placed in the right margin to highlight specific code sections that are proposed for amendment. FWCC Chapter 22, Zoning, Article IX, Process VI Review, establishes a process and criteria for Zoning Code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: · To review and evaluate the proposed Zoning Code text amendment regarding subdivision and development review processes; · To determine whether the proposed Zoning Code text amendment meets the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-523; and, · To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed Zoning Code text amendment.

BACKGROUND PAG E._5__O The City adopted Ordinance No. 97-291 in April 1997, to bring the FWCC into conformance with the requirements of implement HB 1724, the Regulatory Reform Act of 1995 (RCW 36.70B). This ordinance significantly amended the FWCC to establish review timeframes and to establish specific review processes for all subdivision and development applications. These review process amendments can be summarized as follows: Interpretations Process I - Director's Approval Site Plan Approval Process II - Site Plan Approval Process I Process III - Project Approval Process II Process IV - Hearing Examiner Approval Process III Process V - Quasi-Judicial Rezone Process IV Process VI - Legislative Decision o Text sections of Chapter 18 - Environmental Protection; Chapter 19 - Planning and Development; Chapter 20- Subdivision; and Chapter 22 - Zoning of the FWCC regarding review processes are being amended based on: (a) Input from the Community Development Department that has identified glitches associated with the HB 1724 Code Amendments; (b) Existing code interpretations by the Director of Community Development; and, (c) Housekeeping needs to improve the organization of the FWCC, internal code section references, or the wording of the Zoning Code text. The proposed text amendments to the Environmental, Subdivision, and Zoning Chapters of the FWCC involve exclusively land use and subdivision procedures and does not contain substantive standards respecting use or modification of the environment. Therefore, the proposed text amendments are categorically exempt from the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), pursuant to FWCC 18- 71. A Notice of Public Hearing, the Planning Commission Staff Report, and the Draft FWCC text amendments regarding subdivision and development review processes were published, posted and distributed consistent with Code requirements for Process IV Review.

The intent of the comprehensive planning process is to allow the City to make informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA. As part of this evaluation process, Madrona Planning and Development Services was contracted to perform preliminary research and to develop a scope of work and cost estimate to plan and zone the PAA. This preliminary research, scope of work, and cost estimate is the Phase I PAA Study: "the plan to do the plan." Implementation of the scope of work and PAA planning process and the preparation of a PAA Sub-Area Plan will be the Phase II PAA Study. This report summarizes the results of the Phase I PAA Study, including the research performed and the issues identified, and presents the proposed Phase II PAA planning process, scope of work, and cost estimate. 2.0 City of Federal Way Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Background 2.1 Background and History~ The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires each city planning under the Act to identify and Urban Growth Area (UGA) for itself. A city's UGA may include incorporated areas within the city's municipal boundaries as well as unincorporated areas outside of the municipal boundaries. In order for the unincorporated areas to be included within a city's UGA, the area must be able to be provided with urban services by the subject city and either currently characterized by urban development, or necessary to accommodate the projected population growth for the city. It is important to note that under the GMA, counties determine UGA boundaries based on input from cities and special service districts. In King County, a city's unincorporated UGA is referred to as a Planned Annexation Area (PAA), in order to avoid confusion with the Countywide UGA. The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPP) provide direction regarding interjurisdictional planning, annexation, and the phasing of urban development within PAAs. These policies call for: t Background and history summarized from the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, Chapter VIII, Planned Annexation Area, Revised October, 1998. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page I City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study · Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. · Adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. · Annexation or incorporation of all uninco_rporated areas within the CountyWide urban growth boundary within a 20-year timeframe (1993 - 2013). The CWPPs anticipate that, as this 20-year transition proceeds, the role of County government will evolve into one of providing local services only to rural areas outside the Countywide urban growth boundary. In 1991, the King County Council formed the Unincorporated Southwest King County Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) from unincorporated areas adjacent to Federal Way to evaluate the PAA. The purpose of the CAC was to advise the County Council regarding PAA boundaries. With the support of King County planning staff, the CAC performed outreach and research to formulate recommended PAA boundaries, which were presented to the County Council. · Also in 1991, the City of Federal Way prepared an issue paper that evaluated the GMA and CWPP requirements for PAAs and an assessment of the provision of urban services within the unincorporated areas adjacent to the city. The 1991 issue paper provided the basis for a staff recommendation regarding the PAA boundary. The staff recommended PAA boundary was presented to the Federal Way Planning Commission, which held a public hearing on the subject. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the staff recommended PAA boundary. The City Council accepted the recommendation, but directed city staff to negotiate with the neighboring cities of Auburn, Algona, Des Moines, Kent, Milton, and Pacific. This negotiation was necessary because these cities had developed their own PAA boundaries that overlapped with the Planning Commission and staff recommended Federal Way PAA boundary. After a year of negotiation, a revised Federal Way PAA boundary that resolved the overlaps was presented to City Council. The Federal Way PAA boundary was adopted by City Council in December, 1993. Minor amendments to the Federal Way PAA boundary were adopted in 1994. Interlocal agreements with the cities of Auburn, Algona, Des Moines, Kent, Milton, and Pacific are currently in place regarding the PAA boundaries. 2.2 Location and Area The boundaries of the PAA relative to the existing Federal Way municipal boundaries are shown on the Potential Annexation Areas map, which is taken from the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Madrona Planning and Development Services phaselrpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 2 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study The PAA is comprised of two separate areas. The larger of the two PAA areas is located to the east of the existing city limits along the I-5 corridor and the Weyerhaeuser East Campus development. This larger PAA area is approximately 4,996 acres in size. The smaller of the two PAA areas is located west of Pacific Highway South (SR99) at the existing northwest city limits in the Redondo neighborhood. The smaller PAA area is approximately 53 acres in size. 2.3 Existing Urban Service Providers In order to ensure efficient provision and future extension of urban services to the PAA, agency and special service district boundaries were carefully considered in the evaluation and development of the PAA boundaries. The following table summarizes the agencies and special districts that provide urban services to the Federal Way PAA, with applicable comments regarding service areas relative to the PAA boundaries: ~ ~S~ice Service Provider Discussion Planning and King County Service area includes entire PAA. General Government Services Storm Drainage/ King County Natural Service area includes entire PAA. Surface Water Resources Parks and Recreation King County Parks Service area includes entire PAA. Transportation King County Roads Service area includes entire PAA. Law Enforcement King County Sheriff Service area includes entire PAA. Water and Sewer Lakehaven Utility District Small portions of the PAA are outside the Lakehaven Utility District boundaries. These areas are served by the following providers: · Northeast of PAA: Highline Utility District; and, · Southern PAA: City of Milton. Public Education Federal Way School Small portions of the PAA are outside the District Federal Way School District. These areas along the eastern and southern PAA boundaries are served by the Auburn School District. Fire Protection Federal Way Fire Service area includes entire PAA. Department The location of existing community facilities in the PAA, including parks, public schools, and fire stations are summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Community Facilities map. Madrona Planning and Development Services phaselrpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 3 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study 2.4 City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan includes a Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Chapter. The PAA Chapter summarizes the applicable GMA planning goals and CWPPs regarding unincorporated UGAs and PAAs. As background, the PAA Chapter summarizes the CAC and City of Federal Way PAA analyses and recommendations, including the urban services provided to the PAA and the City Council adopted boundaries. Finally, the PAA Chapter establishes goals and policies for establishing-PAA boundaries, processing annexation requests, and planning and zoning the PAA. However, the Comprehensive Plan does not include the PAA in the Land Use, Capital Facilities, Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements. These elements acknowledge the PAA, but do not establish specific goals or policies. The PAA is not included in the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map. Additionally, because the PAA is not currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Federal Way, zoning has not been established for the PAA. Therefore, the City of Federal Way is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way Planned Annexation Area (PAA) in the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations Map, and Zoning Map. The intent of the planning process is to allow the City to make informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA. This evaluation is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies: PAAP4 Establish land use control, development plan review, and impact mitigation in the PAA through interlocal agreement with King County. PAAG2 Provide a framework for processing annexation requests. PAAP I O Simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations should be required o fall annexations. PAAP14 The City should establish departmental service needs prior to major annexations through a fiscal impact analysis. As revenues from each annexation are collected increase City services to maintain current Citywide levels of service. PAAP15 Provide newly-annexed areas with the same levels of service enjoyed by areas inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining current Citywide service levels. PAAG3 Develop a Comprehensive Plan map and proposed zoning for the unincorporated areas of the Federal Way Planned Annexation Area. PAAP16 Identify land uses in the Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated areas and include proposed zoning for these areas.

QIS DIVISION City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study PAAP17 Include policy direction in the Comprehensive Pla-n for the areas within the PAA boundary relating to land use, transportation, capital facilities, housing, and utilities. These Comprehensive Plan goals and policies regarding the PAA form the foundation for the proposed Phase II PAA planning process and scope of work. 2.5 PAA Planning by Other Cities and King County As the initial component of the Phase I PAA Study research, other cities in both King and Pierce Counties were contacted to determine the processes that were used for comprehensive planning and zoning their PAAs. The cities that were contacted included Auburn, Des Moines, Kent, Puyallup, and Renton. .~ All of these cities included their PAAs in their Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps. The comprehensive planning was admittedly limited to determining the city's comprehensive plan land use designation that was the "best fit" based upon the county's comprehensive plan land use designation. None of these cities include the PAA in their Land Use, Capital Facilities, Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements. As parcels within the PAAs annex to these cities, the zoning designation that conforms to the comprehensive plan land use designation is adopted. Any comprehensive plan issues associated with the annexations are resolved at the time of annexation or the subsequent comprehensive plan amendment cycle. Conversations with the King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning confirmed the fact that King County cities have largely been addressing their PAAs through incremental annexations, not comprehensive planning. King County was very supportive of the City of Federal Way evaluating comprehensive planning processes for its PAA. King County currently has an Interdepartmental Governance Team that facilitates outreach and studies to assess the governance alternatives available to unincorporated areas within the Countywide urban growth boundary. However, these King County "govemance studies" are not intended to be PAA comprehensive plans. Rather, they focus on community outreach and identification of local governance options. The studies take the perspective of the individual residents relative to community perceptions, financial impacts of annexation/incorporation, and quality and delivery of government services. Consequently, they are more analogous to cost- benefit analyses than comprehensive plans. Therefore, the PAA Phase I research did not identify an appropriate model utilized by other jurisdictions to comprehensively plan and zone unincorporated urban growth areas. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 5 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study 3.0 Phase I Study 3.1 Purpose The City of Federal Way Community Development Services Department is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way Planned Annexation Area (PAA) in the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations Map, and Zoning Map. The intent of the comprehensive planning process is to allow the City to make-informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA. As part of this evaluation process, preliminary research regarding the PAA was performed to develop a scope of work and cost estimate to plan and zone the PAA. This preliminary research, scope of work, and cost estimate is the Phase I PAA Study: "the plan to do the plan." Implementation of the scope of work and PAA comprehensive planning process and the preparation of a PAA Sub-Area Plan will be the Phase II PAA Study. 3.2 Process The following table summarizes the process used to prepare the Phase I PAA Study and the scope of work to plan and zone the PAA: Task Discussion 1. Background Research This task included the following components: Informational Meeting with City Staff a. Site visit to PAA. b. Review of existing information regarding the PAA, including: · Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations; · Federal Way GIS resources; · King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations; · King County GIS resources; · King County Assessor's data regarding existing land uses; and, · King County Transportation and Surface Water Management data. c. Review of applicable GMA and CWPP requirements. d. Research and interviews with other jurisdictions regarding comprehensive planning of their PAAs. The meeting included Community Development Services, Surface Water Management, and Police. Individual interviews were held with Traffic, PARCS, Federal Way Fire Department, and Lakehaven Utility District. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 6 City of Federal Way Draft Phase 1 Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study o Informational Meetings with King County 4. Summary of PAA Key Issues o o Preparation of Preliminary Phase II Scope of Work and Cost Estimate o o Individual Stakeholder Meetings Preparation of Phase I PAA Study Report Presentation of Phase I PAA Study and Phase II Scope of Work to LUTC The meeting and interviews clarified the proposed process and outcomes of the Phase I Study and identified existing information resources regarding the PAA. A meeting was held with the King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning. Individual interviews were held with King County Roads, Parks, Surface Water, and Sheriff's Departments. The meeting and interviews clarified the proposed process and outcomes of the Phase I Study and identified existing information resources regarding the PAA. The key issues regarding the PAA were identified through the research performed and the interviews with City and County staff. The preliminary scope of work and cost estimate was prepared based on the research performed and the interviews with City and County staff. The preliminary scope of work and cost estimate was utilized for the City of Federal Way application for DCTED grant funding for the PAA Phase II Study. Individual interviews were held with Surface Water Management, Traffic, PARCS, Police, Lakehaven Utility District, and King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning to review the key issues and the proposed Phase II scope of work. The report summarizes the results of the Phase I PAA Study, including the research performed and the issues identified, and presents the proposed Phase II PAA planning process, scope of work, and cost estimate. The presentation is scheduled for the LUTC meeting of August 7. 4.0 Existing PAA Data Sources A critical component of the Phase I Study research was to identify the existing information on the PAA maintained by jurisdictions, agencies, and special service districts. A significant cost of comprehensive planning, engineering and economic studies is generating data. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study has been designed to utilize existing data sources to the greatest extent possible, in order to minimize data generation costs and time. The following sections describe in greater detail the existing data that is maintained and readily available for the Federal Way PAA. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 7 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study 4.1 City of Federal Way Land Use and Property Data The City of Federal Way maintains a significant quantity of land use data on the PAA, including current generalized land use and King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations. The majority of the land use data is managed hnd analyzed by the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Division. The Federal Way GIS also manages other PAA data including, but not limited to, public rights-of-way, surface water bodies, environmentally sensitive areas, topography, water and sewer infrastructure, public facilities, and utilities. The GIS parcel database is linked to the King County Assessor's parcel database, which allows for analysis of ownership, assessed valuation, and sales data. This valuation and sales data will be critical to economic and fiscal impact analyses of the PAA. The assistance of the GIS Division, and particularly GIS Analyst Mike Strong, with the Phase I PAA Report must be acknowledged. It is important to note that the Phase II PAA Study will require significant support from the GIS Division to analyze existing land use data and develop planning alternatives. Wetlands The Federal Way Wetland Inventory, prepared by Sheldon & Associates in 1999, included the PAA. Therefore, data is available for all significant wetlands in the PAA, including general location and boundaries, vegetation, soils, hydrology, existing impacts, and buffer condition. The resulting wetland inventory map is managed and maintained by the GIS Division. The availability of the wetland data will significantly reduce the cost of the Phase II PAA Study. Additional discussion of wetlands issues is provided below in Section 5.0 of this report. Traffic The Federal Way Traffic Division is currently in the process of updating the EMME/2 traffic model for the city. The model will include the generalized traffic patterns between the PAA and the existing city limits, since these patterns are a significant contributor to traffic within the city. However, the model does not specifically include the traffic patterns within the PAA. The EMME/2 model would have to be expanded to specifically include the PAA as a component of the Phase II PAA Study. The initial work would involve modeling the traffic based on existing land uses and zoning designations to establish a baseline. This baseline would then be used to assess the traffic impacts of the various PAA planning alternatives. Additional discussion of the proposed modeling process is provided below in Section 6.0 of this report. Madrona Planning and Development Services phaselrpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 8 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study Surface Water The Federal Way Surface Water Management Plan, adopted in 1995, addresses the PAA in generalized terms. However, the majority of the land area within the existing city limits is located within the following basins: The North, Central, or South Sub-Basins of the Lower Puget Sound Basin; or, The East or West Branch Sub-Basins of the Hylebos Creek Basin, which drains to the White/Puyallup River. However, the majority of the land area within the PAA is located within the following basins: The Lower Green River Basin; The Mill Creek Basin, which drains to the Green/Duwamish River; and, · The White River Basin. Only a small portion, approximately 2%, of the land area within the existing city limits are located within the Lower Green River and Mill Creek Basins. No land area within the existing city limits is located within the White River Basin. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will include supplemental surface water inventorying, hydrologic modeling of the PAA area, and a thorough assessment of the requirements of the Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) for the Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White River Basins. Additional discussion of surface water issues and the proposed surface water management planning process is provided below in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 of this report. Parks and Recreation The Federal Way Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, adopted on November 21, 1995, included the entire PAA. In the Plan, the PAA is disaggregated into three separate planning areas (F, G, and H). Planning area G includes the Weyerhaeuser East Campus area. However, the vast majority of planning areas F, G and H are located outside of the current Federal Way city limits. Therefore, parks, recreation, and open space goals, policies, and capital projects are currently adopted for the PAA. Since the majority of these planning areas are outside of the city limits, the PARCS Department could not implement the identified capital projects. Additionally, by including the PAA in the level of service calculations, the PARCS Department was deficient in meeting the identified standards. Therefore, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is currently in the process of being updated. The proposed Plan update would revise the PAA planning areas as H, I, and J. These areas would not be included in the level of service calculations until such time as they are annexed to the City. This will more accurately reflect any level of service deficiencies and allow the PARCS Department to develop capital project priorities based exclusively on the planning areas within the City limits. Madrona Planning and Development Services phaselrpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 9 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study However, the goals and policies of the proposed Plan update would still apply to the PAA. Additionally, the proposed Plan update will identify capital projects in the PAA for consideration for implementation upon annexation. Therefore, barring a recommendation for significant PAA land use changes, it is anticipated that the parks, recreation, and open space planning process will be minimal for the Phase II PAA Study process. 4.2 Lakehaven Utility District Lakehaven Utility District is supportive of the proposed Phase II PAA Study. The District has indicated their willingness to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II PAA Study and to participate in the planning process. Lakehaven Utility District manages and maintains all operational data regarding water service infrastructure. This data is also maintained by the Federal Way GIS Division. Consistent with state law, Lakehaven also has prepared a Comprehensive Water Service Plan for the district, which includes the vast majority of the PAA. Preliminary discussions with Lakehaven Utility District identified no concerns with water supply for additional development within the PAA. Lakehaven also manages and maintains all operational data regarding sanitary sewer service infrastructure. This data is also maintained by the Federal Way GIS Division. Consistent with state law, Lakehaven also has prepared a Comprehensive Sewer Plan for the district, which includes the vast majority of the PAA. The Comprehensive Sewer Plan is in the process of being updated. Preliminary discussions with Lakehaven Utility District identified no concerns with sewage treatment capacity for additional development within the PAA. 4.3 King County King County maintains the majority of the planning data on the PAA. Based on contacts with members of the Governance Transition Team, King County staff is supportive of the proposed Phase II PAA Study. Moreover, the Governance Transition Team has indicated their willingness to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II PAA Study and to participate in the planning process. Land Use King County maintains a significant quantity of land use data on the PAA. The majority of the land use data is managed by through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is shared with the City of Federal Way. In addition to the land use data that is managed by the City of Federal Way summarized above, King County maintains current land use and subdivision permitting data. Roads and Traffic The road and traffic data managed and maintained by King County Roads and Traffic Divisions can be summarized as follows: Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page ! 0 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study ao The Road Network Inventory System (RNIS) provides information concerning road features within the right-of-way that are maintained by the Road Maintenance section King County Road Services. These road features include: · Type of roadway surface (i.e. A/C, Lit-Bit, Conc., Brick, Gravel) · Width of roadway · Type of shoulders · Width of shoulders · Curb, gutter and sidewalk · Type of sidewalk · Number and type of catch basins · Culverts (type and size) · Enclosed drainage (type and size) · Ditches (type and size) · Box culverts · Access tiles · R/D facilities within the R-O-W · Mowable slopes · Guard rails · Traffic islands · Spot posts · Bridges · Barriers · Retaining walls · Fences · Planter strips · Manholes · Headwalls · Trash racks · Auxiliary pipes · Parallel pipes b. Road Services' Traffic Section provides information on the following: · Total · Total · Total · Total · Total · Total · Total number of signals number of flashers number of signs square footage of thermoplastic miles of striping number of buttons number of street lights Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 11 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study Co In addition, the Traffic Section provides information on current project information for guard rails, new signals, flashers, street lights, neighborhood traffic safety (i.e. traffic calming measures such as speed humps and enforcement, school pathways, development activity, high accident locations (HALs), and corridor analysis in congestion areas.) d. In addition to these two general areas, Roads Services provides information on the overlay program in the PAA, bridges and capital projects. e. Road Services provides cost information on all types of data as well as the County Road Levy rate and transportation mitigation fees. f. Traffic counts for collector and arterial streets. g. Planned traffic improvements are identified in the King County 6-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). Surface Water The surface water management data managed and maintained by King County Surface Water Management can be summarized as follows: a. Inventory · Existing public facilities, including detention, treatment and conveyance systems, maintained and inspected by King County; · Number of stormwater accounts; and, · Citizen requests, inquiries, and complaints. b. Budget/Revenue · Existing and estimated revenue under King County rate structure; · Annual budget; and, · Capital projects within an approximate two year horizon. It is important to note that King County does not include surface water management project in the six year CIP, nor is a separate six year surface water management CIP prepared. Essentially, the King County Surface Water Management Department operates from an annual budget, with an informal plan for capital improvements within an approximate two year horizon. c. Applicable Basin/Flood Control Plans: · Lower Green River Basin Plan; · Mill Creek Flood Control Plan; White River Basin Plan; and, Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 12 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study · Hylebos Creek Basin Plan. Parks and Recreation The parks, recreation and open space data managed and maintained by King County Parks and Recreation can be summarized as follows: · Active and passive park locations and arehs, both regional and local; · Trail locations and mileage; · Athletic fields; · Swimming pools; · Six year CIP projects; and, · Operating costs. Public Safety The public safety data managed and maintained by the King County Sheriff's Office can be summarized as follows: · Existing patrol districts; · Staffing levels; · Response times; · Types of calls; · Volumes of dispatched calls; Fire calls; · Officer initiated activities; and, · All crime and incident reporting data as required by the FBI. 5.0 Significant PAA Issues The research performed as a component of the Phase I PAA Study has identified several issues that will require careful analysis in the Phase II PAA Study. Discussion of each of these issues is provided in the following sections. 5.1 Level of Service Deficiencies The PAA is included in the King County Comprehensive Plan, which establishes goals, policies, and strategies regarding land use, transportation, housing, utilities, and capital facilities. The Comprehensive Plan also establishes level of service standards for the urban services provided to the PAA by King County. These goals, policies, strategies, and level of service standards are codified in the King County Land Use Code as zoning designations, development standards, subdivision standards, infrastructure standards, capital facility requirements, and environmental regulations. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 13 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study The existing King County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations for the PAA are summarized on Potential Annexation Area - King County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations map. The development in the PAA that has been reviewed and permitted under the King County Land Use Code is provided with generally lower levels of service than development in the City of Federal Way. This situation is typical of unincorporated lower density single family residential areas, which comprise the majority of the land area of the PAA. These areas are typically the most difficult to provide with urban services, because of the higher costs per residential unit of extending and operating services. The provision of urban levels of services to these areas by counties is particularly difficult, due to the competing fiscal priorities for regional governments. The discrepancies between the level of service and infrastructure standards for the County and the City affect the built environment of the PAA in the following ways: · Traffic circulation; · Street standards, including right-of-way width, surfacing, bike lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lights, and planting and utility strips; · Stormwater management standards, including water quality treatment, detention, and conveyances; · Parks, open space, and trails; · Policing; and, · Provision of sewer service. While some of these discrepancies between the level of service and infrastructure standards for the County and the City have lessened over time, much of the development in the PAA was permitted when the discrepancies were greater than they are currently. Therefore, as portions of the PAA are annexed over time, the legacy of the historic discrepancies between the level of service and infrastructure standards will become the responsibility the City of Federal Way to resolve. These discrepancies raise two issues. The first issue is to establish an interlocal agreement between King County and the City of Federal Way for joint review of land use projects proposed in the PAA. The interlocal agreement should establish that Federal Way level of service and infrastructure standards will be utilized in the review of land use projects in order to eliminate additional discrepancies that will become the responsibility the City of Federal Way to resolve. The second issue is to assess the fiscal impacts of resolving the existing level of service discrepancies by providing newly-annexed areas with the same levels of service enjoyed by areas inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining current Citywide service levels. This issue is discussed in greater detail in the following section. 5.2 Fiscal Issues The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires the transformance of governance over time, with counties functioning as regional governments and cities functioning as the primary providers of Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 14 M Federal way'." ,mIIllIi' ~::-.~" '::;"':'~'g~' :'""::-l;.~--:2:h.:.;~_ ~ "::~:'l ' :x" :~ ' -'~'2 ~z':~' r~":'r ;~ .-x ......

The City of FederaJ Way makes no warranty as to Its accuracy. City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study urban services. Facilitating this transformance is the purpose of assigning PAAs to individual cities for annexation. However, the process of assignment of the PAAs to individual cities did not assess the fiscal costs to the annexing jurisdiction of providing services and resolving infrastructure deficiencies in the PAAs. As discussed above, the level of service and infrastructure standards in the PAA is generally lower than comparable development in the City of Federal Way. Consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, as portions of the PAA annex, they will be provided with the same levels of service enjoyed by areas inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining current Citywide service levels. This policy may prove to be a significant fiscal challenge to the City of Federal Way. The majority of the land area of the PAA is comprised of lower density single family residential uses, which were permitted with low levels of services and infrastructure, resulting is significant deficiencies relative to Federal Way standards. Therefore, the costs of resolving existing level of service and infrastructure deficiencies are anticipated to be relatively costly in the PAA. Moreover, as is well documented, single family residential uses generally consume more governmental service expenditures than they contribute in tax revenues. In contrast, higher intensity commercial and industrial land uses generally contribute more in tax revenues than they consume in governmental service expenditures. Ideally, the positive revenue/expenditure ratio for commercial or industrial land uses off-sets the negative revenue/expenditure ratio for single family residential uses to remain revenue neutral to the annexing jurisdiction. However, there are relatively low levels of existing or potential commercial or industrial land uses in the Federal Way PAA as is summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Generalized Land Use map. Therefore, it is anticipated that the ongoing costs of providing levels of service consistent with Federal Way standards to new land uses will be relatively costly in the PAA. Given the anticipated costs of resolving the existing deficiencies and providing services to the PAA and the relatively low anticipated tax revenues, it is unlikely that annexation under the current zoning designations and tax structure will be revenue neutral to the City of Federal Way. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will likely have to consider a combination of two approaches in order for the annexation of the PAA to remain relatively revenue neutral for the City of Federal Way: · Consideration of a broad range of creative fiscal strategies will have to be considered to resolve existing service and infrastructure deficiencies in the PAA; and, · Consideration of redesignation of areas of the PAA for higher intensity land uses. However, the latter strategy may not prove to be feasible due to the surface water and environmental constraints of the PAA, which are discussed in greater detail in the following section. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 15 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study 5.3 Surface Water and Environmental Constraints As previously discussed, the majority of the land area within the existing city limits is located within the following basins: The North, Central, or South Sub-Basins of the Lower Puget Sound Basin; or, The East or West Branch Sub-Basins of the Hylebos Creek Basin, which drains to the White/Puyallup River. However, the majority of the land area within the PAA is located within the following basins: The Lower Green River Basin; The Mill Creek Basin, which drains to the Green/Duwamish River; and, The White River Basin. The configuration of these drainage basins in the PAA is summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Drainage Basins map. Only a small portion, approximately 2%, of the land area within the existing city limits are located within the Lower Green River and Mill Creek Basins. No land area within the existing city limits is located within the White River Basin. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will include supplemental surface water inventorying, hydrologic modeling of the PAA area, and a thorough assessment of the requirements of the Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) for the Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White River Basins. It is important to note that the listing of specific salmonid runs on the Endangered Species Act (ESA) will be an issue for the PAA, since both the Green/Duwamish and White Rivers contain significant salmonid runs. While the outcomes of the ESA planning process are not clear at this point, it is likely that the resulting regulations will impact the type and intensity of appropriate land uses in specific drainage basins in the PAA through supplemental surface water management requirements. The impacts of the ESA regulations will have to be thoroughly assessed as a component of the Phase II PAA Study. The PAA is also constrained by a significant amount of surface water bodies, including lakes, streams, and wetlands. While most of these environmentally critical areas have been inventoried, the inventories will have to be assessed as a component of the Phase II PAA Study. Additionally, it will be imperative to mitigate potential water quality impacts to these surface water bodies through careful land use planning and appropriate development and infrastructure standards. The Federal Way Wetland Inventory, prepared by Sheldon & Associates in 1999, inventoried a total of 61 wetlands within the PAA. The location of these wetlands is summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Identified Wetlands map. The size ranges and classifications of the wetlands within the PAA are summarized in the following tables: Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 16 Redondo Milton City Center Kitts Comer I Federal Way i / i Auburn !

Therefore, given these surface water and environmental constraints any proposed planning alternatives to increase land use intensity in the PAA will need to be carefully analyzed as a component of the Phase II PAA Study. It may not be possible to mitigate the environmental impacts of higher intensity land uses given the extent of environmentally critical areas in the PAA. 5.4 Provision of Sewer Service One of the most appropriate mitigations for potential higher intensity land uses in the PAA would be extension of sanitary sewer infrastructure. As can be seen from the Potential Annexation Area - Sanitary Sewer Mains map, the existing sanitary sewer system is limited largely to the northern and southwestern portions of the PAA. Based on preliminary conversations with Lakehaven Utility District, it is unlikely that sanitary sewer mains will be extended to the central portion of the PAA in the foreseeable future. Given current land use conditions, the extension of sewer service to the currently unserved areas is not fiscally feasible for the District. The sewer extensions to this area would result in infeasible rate structures for the users of the system. Barring a public health emergency, sewer system extension is unsupportable by current residential densities in most areas of the PAA. However, it is important to note that preliminary discussions with the District identified no concerns with sewage treatment capacity for additional development within the PAA. Federal Way Wetland Inventory, prepared by Sheldon & Associates, April 12, 1999, at 6. Op cit, at 7. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 17 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study Additionally, Lakehaven is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. Review of the updated Comprehensive Sewer Plan will be a component of the Phase II PAA Study. Lakehaven Utility District is supportive of the proposed Phase II PAA Study. The District has indicated their willingness to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II PAA Study and to participate in the planning process. Preliminary indications are that the District would be supportive of potential land use changes that would enhance the feasibility of sewer service extensions. 5.5 Policing The majority of the PAA is physically separated from the City of Federal Way by the I-5 corridor. There are a limited number of overpasses that allow for east-west vehicular connectivity across the corridor. This limited vehicular connectivity is further reduced during peak commuting times, due to traffic congestion. This limited vehicular connectivity raises significant public safety concerns, given the current centralized police station on 9th Avenue South. Based on preliminary discussions with the Police Department, the potential impacts of having to serve the PAA from this location west of the I-5 corridor include reduced response times and level of service based on numbers of police officers per 1,000 population. As a basis for comparison, the Federal Way Fire Department currently operates three fire stations, including Stations 1, 4, and 5, on the east side of the I-5 corridor. The distribution of fire stations is necessary to provide higher levels of fire protection services and reduced response times. Therefore, as portions of the PAA annex, it is anticipated that a police sub-station will be required to be developed on the east side of the I-5 corridor to maintain current levels of service relative to police response times. Additionally, the Police Department currently operates at a level of service relative to numbers of police officers per 1,000 population that is among the lowest in the region. In order to maintain the current level of service, it will be required to hire additional officers to serve the PAA population. Analysis of the capital costs of developing a police sub-station and the ongoing operation costs of hiring additional officers will be components of the Phase II PAA Study. 5.6 Community Character An issue that is difficult to assess based on the limited scope of the Phase I PAA Study is one of the perception of community character by PAA residents. It is anticipated that many PAA residents will have negative perceptions regarding annexation to the City of Federal Way. Some of these perceptions will be based on the potential for increased taxes; others will be based on the character of the PAA as a "rural" area. These concerns regarding annexation are typical of unincorporated areas adjacent to cities. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 18 : Milton ·.-:.-,: ......

GII$ DIVISION City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study The proposed Phase II PAA Study will include early and frequent opportunities for substantive participation by PAA residents in the planning process. The structure of the Phase II Study also includes membership of representatives of PAA community groups on the Steering Committee, which is the decision making body for the Study. However, it must be acknowledged that many PAA residents will be averse to annexation by the City of Federal Way because they perceive that the nature of the communities are incompatible. The public participation component of the Phase II Study must be able to address these concerns and clearly identify the benefits of annexation to the PAA residents in order to be successful. 6.0 Proposed Phase II Study 6.1 Purpose The intent of including the King County PAAs within the UGAs of the adjacent cities was to provide for orderly annexation of the unincorporated areas over time. However, since King County included the PAAs in its Comprehensive Plan, including land use, transportation, housing, utilities, and capital facilities, most South King County cities have only nominally included their PAAs in their Comprehensive Plans by adopting comprehensive plan land use designations for their PAAs. Currently, the City of Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan does not include the PAA in the Land Use, Capital Facilities, Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements. These elements acknowledge the PAA, but do not establish specific goals or policies. The PAA is not included in the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map. Additionally, because the PAA is not currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Federal Way, zoning has not been established for the PAA. Therefore, as parcels within the PAAs have begun to annex, the process has not proven to be as orderly as was originally intended because of lack of consistency between land use and zoning designations, development standards, street standards, capital facility requirements, environmental regulations, and level of service standards. Additionally, the Federal Way PAA is challenged by several significant planning issues that require a comprehensive sub-area planning approach: · Because of environmental and infrastructure constraints, the majority of the PAA is zoned for low density single family residential use. To provide increased levels of services to this type of land use upon annexation consistent with Federal Way standards will present significant fiscal challenges to the City. · The PAA has numerous surface water bodies and other environmentally sensitive areas that limit development of infrastructure, utilities and capital facilities. · Significant portions of the PAA drain to the Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White River Basins, which will impact Federal Way's role in the King County Regional Needs Assessment process. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 19 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study A significant portion of the PAA is currently unserved by water and sewer service, with many existing residential areas utilizing septic drainfields. · The PAA is separated from the majority of the City of Federal Way by the I-5 right-of-way, which limits the east-west connectivity of transportation networks. · This physical separation of the PAA results in significant challenges to provide public safety services, particularly during peak traffic periods. · The residents of the PAA may perceive that the character of their community is inconsistent with that of Federal Way. The current situation poses a dilemma for parcels that are located within the PAA, but are not adjacent to Federal Way City limits as King County is reluctant to consider changes in requests for comprehensive plan designations for these parcels since they are located within Federal Way's PAA. Moreover, agencies that serve the PAA, such as the Federal Way School District, Lakehaven Utility District, and Federal Way Fire Department, must work with two jurisdictions, King County and Federal Way, to address service planning and operational issues in the PAA. Working with one jurisdiction on these issues will improve the efficiency of this inter-agency coordination. Since 1993, the City of Federal Way has processed five annexation requests that resulted in the annexation of approximately 810 acres. In the absence of an adopted comprehensive plan for the PAA, decision-making becomes more problematic as it is being done on a case-by-case basis. As a result, there is concern on the part of the City Council and residents living within the PAA that the lack of Federal Way comprehensive plan designations and zoning for parcels within the PAA will result in incremental, piece-meal planning at the time of each separate annexation. PAA residents have indicated their reluctance to petition for annexation in the absence of established pre-annexation comprehensive plan designations and zoning for parcels within the PAA. Both residents of the PAA and the City Council desire a comprehensive approach to planning and zoning the PAA whereby all parcels in the PAA will be reviewed concurrently with full citizen involvement. This will result in a smoother annexation process and predictability for residents desiring to be annexed to the City. In addition, it will determine how services will be provided to the PAA and disclose the fiscal impacts of bringing services within the PAA to city standards. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan is to develop a comprehensive plan for the Federal Way PAA to ensure orderly annexation of this unincorporated urban growth area consistent with the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), the King County Comprehensive Plan, and the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. The PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide for enhanced levels of intergovernmental and special district cooperation and coordination, both within, the planning process and for subsequent annexation processes. The PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide a well defined implementation system for the transformance of governance as envisioned by the GMA, with counties Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 20 City of Federal Way Draft Phase ! Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study functioning as regional governments and cities functioning as the primary providers of urban services. 6.2 Organizational Structure The PAA Phase II Study will utilize a three-tiered organizational structure of a Steering Committee, a Staff Work Group, and a consultant team. The following summarizes the roles and responsibilities of each of the three tiers: Steering Committee: The Steering Committee is the decision making body for the Phase II PAA Study. The purpose of the Steering Committee will be to evaluate and develop alternatives for the PAA Sub Area and to formulate a recommended alternative to the Federal Way Planning Commission. Ideally, the jurisdictions and agencies will be represented on the Steering Committee by elected officials or board members. The Steering Committee membership will include representatives from the following organizations: PAA Neighborhood Organizations; · Federal Way City Council; Federal Way Planning Commission; · King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning; · King County Department of Natural Resources; · Lakehaven Utility District; and, · Federal Way School District. The Steering Committee is anticipated to meet on a monthly basis to review major work products, consider significant policy issues, and to provide direction to the Staff Work Group and Consultant Team. By including elected officials and board members on the Steering Committee, it is hoped that these individuals will be able to provide a regular reporting function back to their respective organizations regarding the progress and status of the Phase II Study. This will improve communication of concerns and allow for regular policy feedback throughout the planning process. Additionally, the Steering Committee will attend major public workshops and presentations to obtain feedback from the public on the progress and proposals of the Phase I! Study. bo Staff Work Group: The Staff Work Group would be the project management body of the Phase I! Study. The purpose of the Staff Work Group is to oversee and manage the work of the Consultant Team. The Staff Work Group membership will include representatives from the following organizations: · Federal Way Community Development; Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 21 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study · Federal Way GIS Division; · Federal Way Surface Water Management; · Federal Way Traffic; · Federal Way PARCS; · Federal Way Police Department; · Federal Way Fire District; · Federal Way School District; · Lakehaven Utility District; and, · King County Governance Transition Team. The Staff Work Group would meet on a weekly basis to provide data for analysis, ensure that all analyses are consistent with established methodologies, and review the draft work products prior to submittal to the Steering Committee and the public. Additionally, the members of the Work Group would be responsible for the day-to-day interaction with the Consultant Team. Co Consultant Team: The Consultant Team will perform all data collection and analyses necessary for the Phase II Study. All major work products, including m~alyses, reports, plan documents and appendices, will be prepared by the Consultant Team for review by the Work Group and Steering Committee. The Consultant Team will be comprised of a multi-disciplinary group that will enable a comprehensive approach to the Phase II Study. The Consultant Team will be comprised of the following professionals: · Land Use Planners; · Civil Engineers; · Transportation Engineers; · Environmental Consultants; and, · Economic/Fiscal Consultants. It is strongly recommended that the City consider a Consultant Team that has experience in working with an inter-disciplinary planning approach for the Phase II PAA Study. 6.3 Process, Costs, and Milestones The proposed Phase II PAA Study process consists of seven tasks and sub-tasks. The following table summarizes and provides a cost estimate for each these tasks and the total estimated Phase II PAA Study cost: Madrona Planning and Development Services phase I rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 22 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study Task Task Description Estimated Number Cost I Establish Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Sub-Area Plan Steering $2,000 Committee and Staff Work Group 2 PAA Planning, Engineering, Environmental and Economic Analysis 2.1 Perform Characterization Study of PAA $90,000 2.2 Perform Economic Forecast and Fiscal Impact Analysis for the PAA $13,500 3 Develop PAA Sub-Area Plan Alternatives $42,900 4 Develop PAA Sub-Area Plan Preferred Alternative 4.1 Prepare Draft PAA Sub-Area Plan $14,000 4.2 Prepare PAA Sub-Area Plan Appendix 1' Federal Way $9,600 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 4.3 Prepare PAA Sub-Area Plan Appendix 2: Draft zoning district $4,600 regulations, use zone tables and development standards 4.4 Prepare PAA Sub-Area Plan Appendix 3: Draft Pre-Annexation $4,800 Agreement between Federal Way and King County 4.5 Present the PAA Sub-Area Plan for review and comment $4,800 5 SEPA Environmental Review of the PAA Sub-Area Plan $5,300 _ 6 Federal Way Legislative Review of PAA Sub-Area Plan _ 6.1 Planning Commission review of Draft PAA Sub-Area Plan $6,100 6.2 Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) Review of Draft $4,500 PAA Sub-Area Plan 6.3 City Council Review of PAA Sub-Area Plan $3,050 7 Negotiate and Finalize Pre-Annexation Agreement between Federal $3,900 Way and King County Total Estimated Professional Expense Cost of Phase II PAA Study $209,050 Estimated Materials Expenses $3,000 Sub Total Professional Expense and Indirect Costs $212,050 Contingency Reserve (20% of Estimated Professional Expense) $42,410 Not to Exceed Project Total $254,460 The following sections describe each of these tasks and sub-tasks in greater detail, provide more detailed cost estimates, identify the estimated timeframes for completion, and describe the key work products and milestones for the Phase II PAA Study.

This early opportunity for substantive public participation is essential to bring PAA residents into the process and to establish realistic expectations. The core component of this task will be to collect, review and analyze existing King County, City of Federal Way, and Lakehaven Utility District data sources regarding the PAA. The majority of this data is identified previously in this report. However, it is anticipated that Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 24 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study additional data collection will be necessary to supplement existing data sources and address deficiencies and needs. The existing conditions data and inventory will include the following: Existing land uses and development activity within the PAA; Comparison of King County and City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations; · Housing inventory, conditions, and affordability analysis; · Inventory of the existing street system, including surfacing and sidewalks; · Traffic and transit data; · Review any existing hydraulic modeling of the PAA; · Location and ownership of storm water detention ponds and conveyance systems; · Location of natural and man-made surface water systems, including bogs; · National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted facilities; · Surface water survey of industrial users; · Summary of citizen requests, inquiries, and complaints to King County Surface Water Management in past 5 years; · Summary of applicable surface water plans, including Lower Green River, Mill Creek, White River, and Hylebos Creek Basins; · Summary of planning requirements based on ESA listing of specific salmonid runs; · Inventory of environmentally critical areas, including wetlands, steep slopes, streams, lakes, wildlife habitat, floodplains, and wellheads; · Inventory of public and private water systems; · Parks, open space and recreation facilities; · Inventory of sewer systems; · Septic sewer surveys; · Inventory of police and public safety facilities; · Inventory of fire and EMS facilities; · Inventory of public school facilities; and, · Summary of planned capital improvements identified in King County, Lakehaven Utility District, and Federal Way School District CIPs. Based on this data and inventory, the following analyses will be performed: · Development capacity analysis for residential, commercial and industrial land uses based on existing zoning designations; · EMME/2 traffic modeling of existing conditions; and, · Hydraulic modeling of major surface water systems. These analyses and models will serve to establish a "no action, existing conditions" baseline for purposes of comparison of potential alternative land use designations. The comparison of the various planning alternatives will occur under Tasks 3 and 4. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 25 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study The analyses will be compiled into a PAA Characterization Study Report, which serves as the milestone and major work product for this sub-task.

The consultant will also review existing economic, demographic and real estate market data to identify relevant trends. The consultant will collect and analyze available economic and fisca! data, including: · Assessed value by type of property; · Appreciation rate of assessed value; · City and County taxable sales growth; · Charges for services and rate of increase in charges; · Utility tax rates; · Debt service factors (tax rate, interest rate on debt, etc.); and · Itemized public services per capita costs. Using this background data, the consultant will analyze the real estate market for a mixture of uses in the PAA within the context of the wider Federal Way and South King County regional economies. The analysis will identify development opportunities that would potentially be supportable in the PAA and identify the key assumptions associated with these development opportunities. Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 26 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study An Economic Forecast for the PAA will be prepared, including market analysis, and analysis of economic development alternatives, including: · Estimate of potential tax revenues; · Estimate of infrastructure and public service costs; · Analysis of potential net returns to local government. The background data and analyses will be utilized to prepare a fiscal model to assess the impacts of annexation to the City of Federal Way. The fiscal model will be further utilized for Tasks 3 and 4 to determine the net fiscal effects of various alternative plans for the PAA and to determine the appropriate scale of residential, commercial and institutional land uses in the preferred alternative. The foregoing data and analyses will be compiled into an Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis Report, which serves as the major milestone and work product for this sub-task. Once developed in draft form, the Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis Report will be presented to the Staff Work Group for review and comment.

This cost estimate shall not be binding upon Madrona Planning and Madrona Planning and Development Services phase 1 rpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 34 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study Development Services. This preliminary estimate has been prepared based on limited information regarding the PAA Sub-Area. Key assumptions made in preparing the estimate include the following: An addendum to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the PAA Sub-Area Plan. A separate EIS or a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) will not be required to be prepared for the PAA Sub-Area Plan. · The PAA Characterization Study does not identify significant environmental issues beyond the scope of work. · King County and other affected agencies and special districts are willing participant in the PAA Sub-Area planning process and the pre-annexation agreement negotiation process. · Public comment does not identify significant community opposition to the PAA Sub-Area planning process or future annexation to the City of Federal Way. There is continuous and substantive participation in the PAA Sub-Area planning process by representatives from King County, Federal Way, affected agencies and special district staff; Federal Way Planning Commission and City Council; and community groups. The estimated professional expenses are based upon a negotiated project rate for each of the professional services. A time and materials rate will increase the total project cost accordingly. 7.0 Conclusion Without a comprehensive sub-area plan for the PAA that specifically relates to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, it is difficult to assess the land use, environmental, and fiscal impacts of annexations. As a result, there is concern on the part of the City Council and residents living within the PAA that the lack of Federal Way comprehensive plan designation and zoning for parcels within the PAA will result in incremental, piece-meal planning at the time of each separate annexation. Both residents of the PAA and the City Council desire a comprehensive approach to planning and zoning the PAA whereby all parcels in the PAA will be reviewed concurrently with full citizen involvement. This will result in a smoother annexation process and predictability for residents desiring to be annexed to the City. In addition, it will determine how services will be provided to the PAA and disclose costs involved in bringing services within the PAA to city standards. The purpose of the proposed Phase II PAA Study is to develop a comprehensive plan for the Federal Way PAA to ensure orderly annexation of this unincorporated urban growth area Madrona Planning and Development Services phaselrpt.doc July 28, 2000 Page 35 City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study consistent with the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), the King County Comprehensive Plan, and the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. The proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide for enhanced levels of intergovernmental and special district cooperation and coordination, both within the planning process and for subsequent annexation processes. The proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide a well defined implementation system for the transformance of governance as envisioned by the GMA, with counties functioning as regional governments-and cities functioning as the primary providers of urban services. The proposed process for the Phase II PAA Study is the most cost-effective planning methodology to achieving these purposes, while ensuring ongoing and substantive public participation. 8.0 Acknowledgements The preparation of the Phase I PAA Study is the result of work and assistance provided by many people and organizations.

Mos~ley~i~anager/"'V%' ~Ix Iwen Wang, Managament Services Director Federal Way Public Schools 1999/2000 Capital Facilities Plan~School Impact Fee The City has received an updated copy of the Federal Way Public Schools' (FWPS) 1999/2000 Capital Facilities Plan with the proposed school impact fees for the City's annual review. The Capital Facilities Plan contains the consistent but more detailed information related to capacity and the calculation of the proposed school impact fee increase. The new fees, to be effective January 1,2001 are $2,710 per single-family dwelling unit and $830 per multi-family dwelling unit. This is a $327 or 13.7% increase for single family, and $44 or 5.6% increase for multi-family units from the 2000 level. The increase in impact fees is primarily attributable to the absence of State matching funds for the proposed $18 million (land and construction) new middle school. The State uses a per student square foot rate that is lower than the program space actually used in the Federal Way Public Schools in determining available facility capacity. Based on the state's calculation, copy attached, the FWPS is over-housed at the elementary and middle school levels; therefore the proposed new middle school is not eligible for the state match. If eligible, the State match would result in lowering the impact fee by $518 per single-family unit and $83 per multi-family unit. The City's School Impact Fee Ordinance recognizes that local needs are most logically determined locally, and define the space requirement in the Design Standard as "space required, by grade span and taking into account the requirements of students with special needs, which is needed in order to fulfill the education al goals of the District as identified in the district's capital facilities plan." Based on the Capital Facilities Plan submitted, FWPS projects a capacity deficit of 650 students at the middle school level by 2002. In addition to the above, this year's calculation also indicates a significantly higher student generation factor for senior high students, which means more high school students per family in the sample population. However, this increase is offset by a reduction in the projected construction cost for the proposed new high school. With the status of 1-695 yet to be determined, FWPS understands that Council's approval of the proposed fee increase will be subject to the outcome of the supreme court decision, and that if Initiative 695 is upheld by the Supreme Court, the increase will not take place and the 2000 fee will continue.

The District has requested that the City adopt the Plan by reference in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The District's Plan identifies the construction of a new middle school scheduled to open the fail of 2005. The voters of the District approved a bond measure for $83 million on September 14, 1999. This bond measure included funding for the new middle school which is projected to serve g00 students. The District's standard of service is 25 students for the average class size for grades 7 to 12. Even though the District's enrollment projections and student capacity indicate the need for thc new middle school, the State of Washington's funding formula does not recognize this need. Enclosed please find the worksheet prepared by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Inmxuction COSPI"). Based on the OSPI analysis, the District has square footage in excess of the state match formula and is allegedly overhoused. However, it is well recognized that the state match process is simply a funding allocation formula m distribute limited resources. The OSPI formula does not correspond to the facility standards of most districts throughout the State and does not capture the need for school facilities and for additional student capacity. As stated in the December 1999 Report of the Task Force on School Construction Financing [State House of Representatives]: Recommendation #2: Restore the state standard for construction cost per square foot and space per student The Task Force recommends that the Sta~e Board of F. Aucafion give priority to begin restoring the level of state support per square foot of school conslruction Phone (253)' 945-2000 * 31405 1Sth A~,enuc South * Federal Way, WA 98003-5'}33 · www. fwsd.~vednet.edu Ms. Iwen Wang August 1, 2000 Page 2 F.W.S.D,-FINRNCE 253 941 8442 P.03/04 and the space per student allocation to the pre-1985 level. The Board, by administrative rule, establishes the factors that determine the amount of state financial assistance for school construction. During the early 1980% the demand for state funds exceeded available revenues. In order to spread the available dollars to more school projects, the Board reduced the state allocation per square foot and the standard for space per student. Actual experience with constructing new school buildings in this state exceed the current state standard space allocation. The trend for more space is expected to continue as school buildings are expected to meet the increasing requirements for technology and program activities.

Under the current square footage standard, it appears that districts such as the Federal Way Public Schools do not meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the state match process. (See enclosure) Thus, this District, like many other school districts in King County, no longer qualifies for state matching funds at some or all the grade levels.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN INTRODUCTION In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act (SHB 2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee Ordinances of King County Code 2lA, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249 effective December 21, 1995 as amended, and the City of Kent Ordinance No. 3260 effective March 1996, Federal Way Public Schools has updated its 1998/99 Capital Facilities Plan as of May 2000. This Plan has been adopted by King County, the City of Kent and the City of Federal Way and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Auburn and City of Des Moines have not adopted a school impact fee ordinance. The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture and recreation. This Plan's estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption. This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies. Additional plans will be consistent with the six year Capital Facilities Plan. iii FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN INTRODUCTION (continued) On October 12, 1998 the Board of Education approved a recommendation to move to a Pre K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school, and 9-12 high school grade configuration beginning in the fall of 2002 or as additional high school space allows. This grade configuration is believed to be more responsive to student needs. It will allow for smaller elementary enrollments with room for lower primary class sizes. The middle school allows two-year preparation for the WA State 7th grade test, matches the Federal Way Public Schools 8th grade gateway test, and matches most western Washington districts. Middle schools are also thought to be a better way to address the needs of adolescence in a period of transition from elementary to school to high school. The four-year high school plan combines the 9-12 graduation credit system, allows two-year preparation from the l0th grade test, and physically places the high school students together. Federal Way Public Schools must meet the needs of a growing student and community population. The District must be flexible with building, programs and staffing to meet the needs of the 21st Century, while being financially responsible and sensitive to the current tax rates. A flexible, cost effective and educationally beneficial approach that integrates academics and high teclghigh skill preparation is needed. By extending the existing debt and creatively using new and existing facilities, the District can meet these complex needs with no increase in local tax rates. Federal Way citizens approved a bond proposal of $83 million on May 18, 1999. This bond will provide for a comprehensive high school ($44 million); a middle school ($17 million); expansion and improvement of existing schools ($9 million); replacement of Truman High School ($6 million) and other general improvements ($7 million). Additional planned improvements included in the bond proposal are: parking and pedestrian safety, playgrounds and sports fields, new classroom start-up and music equipment, information systems and networks and emergency communications. Federal Way Public Schools opened the Internet Academy in the 1996/97 school year. This program currently serves approximately 710 students, 487 are full time students. Internet Academy has grown from about 60 students to the current 700 in three years. The forecast for growth in this program is to serve approximately 750 full time students by the year 2005. Internet Academy is currently operating out of leased space consisting of administrative areas and a computer lab area. Additionally, some lab sections are scheduled in the current high school facilities during non-school hours. There is an anticipated need of approximately 2000 square feet of additional space over the next two years. This capacity is not included in the analysis of instructional spaces. The facility needs are unique to a program of "distance learners". FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN The Marketing Academy School operated in Federal Way for two years from 1997 to 1999. As the District evaluated this program, it was determined that the program was not meeting the needs of students in the most effective manner. The Marketing Academy School has not operated this year and there are no plans to start the program in the near future. Federal Way Public Academy opened in the 1999/00 school year in six portables on the Illahee Junior High site. The school served 120 seventh and eigth grade students this year and will serve 180 - 210 students in grades seven, eight and nine in the 2000/2001 school year. One additional single wide and one double wide portable will be moved to the site during the summer of 2000. v FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION I - THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN The State Growth Management Act requires that several pieces of information be gathered to determine the facilities available and needed to meet the needs of a growing community. This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and expected future facility requirements for Federal Way Public Schools. This is followed by a Financial Plan which shows expected funding for any new construction, portables and update modernization needs listed.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION 2 - MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES Federal Way Public Schools (the District) has twenty-three elementary schools (grades K-6), seven junior high schools (grades 7-9), three senior high schools (grades 10-12) and two alternative schools (grades 7-12) for the 1999/00 school year. On April 20, 1996 the Federal Way Public Schools Board of Education adopted the boundaries for these schools. The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school for each grade level (Harry S. Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal Way Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of programs which affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas. The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to that development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding facilities. Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly. It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school. It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the district, not just around a single development. 7 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPTIAL FACILITIES PLAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BOUNDARIES ,:EDERAL WAY SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 210 £ F ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS co~,-- · codo-- · t0 Adelaide C-6 64 Illahee E-9 16 Brtgadoon B-8 66 Kilo G-6 28 Camelot G-5 62 Lakota D-6 · 22Enterprise D-9 61 Sacajawea E-5 14 Green Gables A-7 70 Saghalie C-8 30 Lake Dolloff G-6 65 Totem G-3 tl Lake Grove D-6 8 Merit F-6 33 Lakeland F-9 2 Mad~ Twain F-4 29 Meredith Hill H-5 SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS 6 Mirror Lake Ed 5 Nautilus E-5 Code-- · 15 Olympic View C-7 21 Panther Lake E-8 80 Decatur C-6 37 Rainier View F-10 81 Federal Way E-5 41 Sherwood Forest D-8 83 Thomas JeffersonG-4 24 Silver Lake D-7 8 Harry S.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not take into consideration the education program needs. The District has identified a Building Program Capacity for each of the schools in the District. This Full Time Equivalent (FI'E) capacity is based on: The number of classrooms available in each school Any special requirements at each school The contracted class load by grade level In general, the District's current standard provides that the average class size for a standard classroom for grade K is 24 students, for grades 1-6 is 26 students and grades 7-12 is 25 students. Gate (Gifted and Talented Education) classrooms are 25 students, individual education programs classrooms are 15 students, and special education classrooms are 12 students. This size is determined based upon current ratios and trends as well as the classroom physical size. Educational Program Capacities change every year. This analysis is for the 1999/00 school year. The capacity of an individual school could and does change at any time depending on program changes which may require additional space. 12 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITIES ELEMENTARY BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITY JUNIOR HIGH BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITY Adelaide 488 Brigadoon '528 Camelot 374 Enterprise 512 Green Gables 494 Lake Dolloff 482 Lake Grove 476 Lakeland 488 Mark Twain 503 Meredith Hill 498 Mirror Lake 398 Nautilus 542 Olympic View 450 Panther Lake 514 Rainier View 468 Sherwood Forest 550 Silver Lake 528 Star Lake 502 Sunnycrest 462 l'win Lakes ' ' 502 Valhalla 494 Wildwood 428 W0odmont 450 1998 TOTAL 11,131 I Elementary Average 484 I Notes: lll'ahee 821 Kilo 854 Lakota 74I Sa'cajawea 828 Saghalie 768 Totem 709 1998 TOTAL 4,721 ['Junior High Average I 787 SENIOR HIGH BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITY Decatur 1,165 Federal Way 1,394 Thomas Jefferson 1,373 1998 TOTAL 3,932 [Senior High Average I i,31i ~ ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM CAPACITY Merit School 16 Truman High School 194 1998 TOTAL 210 Elementary program capacities are based on the number of teaching stations in the building, contracted class size, and special use classrooms in place during the 99/00 school year.

Capacities were calculated by the Study and Survey Committee. 3_3 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Portable Locations The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic education. It is not efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout the year and from year to year. Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students until permanent facilities can be built or boundary adjustments can be made. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s) is either moved to another school for an interim classroom, or used for other purposes such as storage or child care programs. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables are not acceptable as permanent facilities. The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Enrollment projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue projections are directly related to enrollment projections. Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department. Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade level and program level to include vocational and special education students. The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years. The Federal Way School District is using three distinct methods for projecting student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below. The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of years of historical information and how they are weighted. The second method uses enrollment-forecasting software tied to a geographic information system. MicroSAMTM software establishes survival, migrant and repeater rates for each grade level in a pre-defined geographic area. These rates are matched to the number of housing units per area. The rates are then used to project the following year's enrollment based on the number of planned new housing units. The software will project for five years. The third method is a projection using an enrollment projection software package that allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these projections for the district level. The Enrollment MasterTM software provides statistical methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment. FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Short-term budget projections may be more conservative than the standard grade progression model. For the 1999/00 school year, the district chose the Enrollment MasterTM projection using standard grade progression model. Standard grade progression is a reasonably accurate method for the near term future when the near future looks much like the near past, Long range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial management for the State of Washington. Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school district in the future. 3.3 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Full Time Equivalent Enrollment History and Projections Simplified FTE (K Headcount --- .5 FTE; Junior High FTE=.989 Headcount; Senior High FTE = .932 Headcount) Total K-12 School Year 1993-94 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-00 P2000-O1 P2001-02 P2002-03 * P2003-04 P2004-05 P2005-06 * New Configuratio~ Elementary Junior High Senior High FTE 10,545 4,432 3,750 18,727 10,505 4,626 3,758 18,889 10,689 4,838 3,796 19,323 10,863 4,930 3,913 19,706 11,123 5,073 4,082 20,278 11,480 5,080 4,120 20,680 11,622 5,110 4,348 21,079 11,595 5,178 4,436 21,209 I1,562 5,421 4,465 21,448 11,535 5,621 4,480 21,636 9,699 5,572 6,437 21,708 9,672 5,570 6,663 21,905 9,673 5,659 6,716 22,048 Elementary K-5 Middle School 6-8 School 9-12 Percent Change 0.9% 2.2% 1.9% 2.8% 1.9% 1.9% 0.6% 1.1% O. 9% 0.3% 0.9% O. 6% High Enrollment History and Six Year Forecast 23,000 3.0% 0 0 0 22,000 2.5% 21,000 2.0% 20,000 19,000 18,000 17,000 16,000 15,000 School Year JI ......~IFTE 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% Percent of Change 18 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Capacity Summaries All Grades, Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Schools The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information and the Student Forecast information.

To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was established. This formula can be found in King County Code 2lA and was also substanially adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish a "Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard construction costs, which are unique to that district. - STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for single family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 1999/00 Capital Facilities Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single family units and multi-family units, which were constructed in the last five- (5) years. IMPACT FEE CALCULATION Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 2lA and the Growth Management Act.

The changes between the 1998/99 Plan and the 1999/00 Plan are listed below. SECTION I - THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN INVENTORY OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES Marketing Academy is removed from the inventory INVENTORY OF UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY Site 85 is added to inventory - purchased site for the new senior high school. NEEDS FORECAST - NEW FACILITIES New High School site has been purchased and is removed from the needs forecast. MOT Site is removed from the needs forecast. This project is not actively being planned at this time. The current MOT site is not for sale at this time. SIX YEAR FINANCE PLAN The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2000/2005 27 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN SECTION ]~I - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION CAPACITY The average capacity of senior high schools is increased from 1232 to 13 ! 1. This change is a result of analysis of current building use and programs in place for the 1999/00 school year. Building Program Capacities are found on page 13. PORTABLES The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 15. STUDENT FORECAST The Student Forecast now covers 1999 through 2005. The new forecast reflects a decreased rate of growth. Enrollment History and Projections are found on page 18. CAPACITY SUMMARY The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 20-23. IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - KING COUNTY CODE 2lA The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee between the 1998/99 Capital Facilities Plan and the 1999/00 Capital Facilities Plan can be found on page 29. 28 FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1999/00 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 1998/99 TO 1999/00 STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation.

All revisions are shown in strikeout and underline. Staff is presenting the document to all City Council Committees for feedback and will forward it, along with possible amendments, to the full City Council on September 19. Sections of this document specifically pertaining to the Land Use and Transportation Committee include Land Use and Community Development; Law and Justice (Gambling, Liquor Control, and Adult Entertainment subsections); and Public Works, Parks, and Environment. The ten items marked with an asterisk (*) are potential items of emphasis for the legislative session, which can be highlighted in the city's lobbying efforts and in meetings with legislators. Committee Recommendation: Information only. City of Federal Way Legislative Agenda and Position Paper 20001 Legislative Session General Policy The City of Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to establish broad, cost-effective policies for local government structure, financing, and service delivery systems; combined with adequate flexibility for local govemmentsto adapt their structures, finances, and service delivery systems to unique local conditions. These efforts must be focused on eliminating duplicate services and preserving local control over service delivery. The City also supports legisl~on that enhances local flexibility to address issues of local concern. The City opposes legislation which mandates increased local costs or which results in an inappropriate diminution of local authority over local affairs. General Local Government Home Rule The City of Federal Way strongly supports the adoption of a constitutional home rule amendment :':h!ch that would guarantee decision-making authority for local matters at the local level. The City also urges the Legislature to refrain from enacting legislation that adversely impacts the concept of local self-government or restricts the ability of cilJes and towns to exercise existing power. Mandates All local governments have been impacted by the elimination and reduction of various federal domestic aid programs. Changes at the state level have also affected local government revenue options. Equally important are the growing number of mandates passed from the federal and state governments to local governments; mandates :;.~,~h that are-do not have accompaniedyin_cl byadditk~ml-resources. Delivering public services requires a strong state-local partnership, and local revenue needs must be recognized when new programs are enacted or if the state revenue system is restructured. As directed by Initiative 62 (RCW 43.135.060), Federal Way strongly urges the Legislature to cease imposition of additional financial or operating burdens on cities unless such mandates are cc..m.~c~cd_, ~' ......... _.. _.v..._...~,~'~;'~ .._..~*~*~ ....~.w.;~*~-~* and-am-accompanied by financial resources to accommodate the costs of compliance. Amended 9~00 Public Records Federal Way firmly supports the dght of the public to have access to the records and operations of local government. The City supports legislation to define the calculation of cost recovery fees for records retrieval from municipal electronic information systems. Interlocal Agreements Federal Way supports eliminating the requirement that interiocal agreements be filed with county auditors. P~qreements are already recorded with all signatory aovernments and can be obtained via a public records request. Adopted 9~00 Advisory Boards Federal Way supports clarifying the ability of city council-appointed advisory boards to analyze the impacts of ballot propositions and make recommendations to city councils. Although city councils are allowed to take positions on ballot propositions, the advisory boards upon which they frequently rely for analysis and advice appear to be inadvertently preempted from providing analysis and advice in these matters. Adopted 9~99 Finance and Economic Development State Fiscal Policy (*)Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Replacement Federal Way c;pc=~.~.. =ny rcd'.'c~c.~ cr r=".Jr=~c.-, c .... = supports a dedicated funding stream-tied to inflation and population growth -to offset the loss of Motor Vehtcle Exc~se T~_~, ...... , ......................... ,.,.-.. ~,'- '^^o'~-^ .... -~o '~° ~u:! ........ *~'~* .......

Amended 9/99, 9/00 Electronic Commerce Federal Way supports _~,ffo?_~egislafion to develop a taxation system for electronic commerce that ensures a level playing field for electronic and non-electronic businesses. Adopted 9/99 State Tax Roll Back/Expenditure Limitetion Efforts Federal Way receives significant support from state-collected, locally-shared revenues. As such, the City opposes =ftc.'*'-- legislation tethat altem_ state fiscal operations unless they enhance City reeeivesrevenues. Sales Tax Non-Remittance Penalties The City supports allocating sales tax non-remittance penalties to all affected jurisdictions using the same proportional allocation system that is used for distribution of regular sales tax collections. Adopted 9/99 Criminal Justice Funding Allocations Federal Way supports eliminating the requirement that cities submit a grant application in order to receive General Fund Municipal Criminal Justice Account allocations. The significant reduction in the allocation, caused by Initiative 695, has further reduced the cost-benefit of the application process. In...addiflo..n, the City supports eliminating the separate allocation to cities that contract for a majority of their law enforcement, as every city must fund law enforcement regardless whether the services are provided in-house or by contract. Adopted 9100 Continuation of Grant Programs Federal Way opposes any erosion in its financing sources and strongly encourages the Legislature to maintain Criminal Justice Funding and other grant programs :-:h~ch that support local program operation. Local Finance Sales Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction Labor costs for the constru~on of road, street, and trails projects are currently exempt from state and local option sales taxes. Federal Way supports extending this exemption to all public capital improvement projects. Amended 9~00 Voted Excess Levy for Capital Improvement Bonds Municipalities should be authorized to seek voter approval for an excess property tax levy to fund capital facilities projects. The levy could be used for projects on a pay as you go basis orfor debt service on bonds. The levywould not be tied to one project~ but could be used to realize any of the projects in the adopted facilities plan. The bonds would be unlimited general obligations of the City. Voter approval would be by simple majority. Benefits of this option include the development of a comprehensive community tax policy to deal with its infrastructure needs using a multi-year business plan approach. Voter Registration Maintenance Costs State law presently allows counties to charge cities to maintain voter registration records. This law, passed in 1987, when the counties took over voter registration from the cities, did not include a sunset provision to eliminate the charge when the transition was complete. Furthermore, these charges are not uniform, ranging from $.22 to $1.55 per voter. State law does set a $.30 maximum charge for smaller cities, but does not specify a charge for larger cities. King County collects over $1 million in voter maintenance fees each year, which should more than cover the cost of minor data entry changes. Federal Way supports legislative changes :-:h~ch*._.o'.'~'.'~ standardize this charge in a manner whieh-that accurately reflects the cost of maintaining voter records. Economic Development Economic Development Funding Sources and Incentives Federal Way supports new funding sources for local economic development, accompanied by significant latitude in the use of funds and incentives, -to =.u.m:: help cities to meet diverse local economic development needs. Amended 9/00 Tax Increment Financing Tax increment financing allows cities to pay for the infrastructure costs related to development or redevelopment projects by earmarking the tax revenues attributable to the increase in tax receipts over current receipts in the apportionment district. The tax increment would be dedicated to paying the debt service on the bonds issued. After the bonds have been retired, the tax increment would be distributed in the same manner as other non-increment property taxes. The overriding benefit of tax increment financing districts would be to facilitate quality and comprehensive development, and redevelopment of our community. Federal Way thus supports cffc?_!el~slalion to amend the state constitution as necessary to accomplish a tax increment financing program. Economic Development Partnerships Federal Way supports government partnerships with the private sector for the purposes of promoting quality governmental services and economic vitality. Personnel and Labor Relations Civil Service Reform Federal Way supports civil service reform for police officers that allows cities to streamline hiring processes, diversify workforces, and recruit, retain, terminate and reward employees. Police and Fire Arbitration Federal Way supports legislation that would mandate that arbitrators in binding interest arbitration with police and fire personnel te consider the following factors in making an award: a) the city'.s financial ability to meat the costs of the contract, giving due consideration and weight to other competing city services and priorities as determined by the City Council; b) local labor market conditions, c) internal equity with other city employees, and d) efforts by new organizations to move away from traditional methods of compensation in favor of innovate compensation strategies (such as incentive pay). The City also supports legislation to amend interest arbitration statutes and mandate final offer arbitration. Amended 9/00 Limit Liability for Reference Checks The City supports legislation that would provide local governments with immunity from civil liability for disclosing information about an empioyee'.s job performance during a reference check. Prevailing Wage The City of Federal Way supports legislation to clarify that maintenance activities performed by contract, like those performed by regular employees, are exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Current law creates a disincentive for the use of contracting by local government en~es. Land Use and Community Development Special Purpose Distdcts (*)Assumption of Special Purpose Districts The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the Growth Management Act, which states that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these areas, The City therefore supports continued legislativeo~n effemAo simplify and clarify the circumstances under which a city may dissolve and assume the functions of a special purpose distri~ and opposes any effedsteleaislation that diminishes that authority of cities B-especially within city limits and potential annex~on areas. Amended 9/99 Capital Facilities Planning Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and counties. Growth Mana,qement Growth Management Act Federal Way endorses the Growth Management Act (GMA) as an essential and responsible planning tool. However, the ACt creates challenges for the .state, county and cities. To meet these challenges, the Legislature must continue to monitor the efforts of local agencies, and address any necessary additional refinements to the Act in an effective and timsiy manner..Such refinements may include clarification of the role and responsibilities of the state and regional governments in developing policies and capital plans in conformance with locally adopted comprehensive plans, assuring the adequacy of funding sources to provide adequate infrastructure, urban services, housing and employment opportunities within urban growth areas. The Legislature must also act to provide and maintain sufficient time, technical and financial resources to cities completing growth management planning. Amended 9/00 Land Use Decisions and Permitting Federal Way supports legislation that further defines, coordinates, simplifies and streamlines land use dec~ons and permit'dng under the GMA as well as under the State Environmental Policy Act and the Shorelines Management Act. Such legislation should balance the benefits of statewide uniformity with the need for local communities to govern themselves. (*)Housing Targets/Buildable Lands Federal Way strongly opposes etferts-telegislafion that breaks GMA twenty-year housing targets into smaller time intervals, i.e., annual targets, as well as c~,,c,-~_ tc~eglislafion that holds cities responsible for housing market performance rather than the content of their comprehensive plans. The City also opposes the imposition of additional reporting requirements under the buildable lands review and evaluation program that are not accompanied by requisite funding. Adopted 9/99, Amended 9/00 Growth Management Hearings Boards Federal Way supports legislation recognizing the need for local flexibility in effectively implementing the GMA and requiring Growth Management Hearings Boards to defer to local decisions, policies and processes implementing the goals of the (SMA when these actions are otherwise consistent with the (SMA. Boundary Review Boards The City supports elimination of Boundaw Review Boards. These non-elected boards have been rendered obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (PAA) planning under the GMA. Shorelines Management Act The City supports continued ~e,qislation to integrate shoreline management planning into local comprehensive plans and eliminate the requirement for separate shoreline master plans. Separate state-level shoreline use permits should also be eliminated in favor of permits issued by cities in accordance with approved plans. Amended 9/99 (*) GMA Impact Fees Federal Way supports continued local authority to collect GMA-based impact fees at the time a subdivieion is approved or building permit is issued. Adopted 9/99 Technical Amendments to Comprehensive Plans Federal Way supports legislation authorizing GMA-planning cities to adopt technical amendments to their GMA plans and regulations more than once a year. Annexation Law Federal Way supports current state law regarding annexations. The City also supports retention of city authorityto review the impacts of an annexation on the overall operation of the City and to make the final determination regarding acceptance of petitions for annexation. The City supports legislation that would reduce boundary adjustment requirements, clarify franchise relationships between trash and garbage haulers, expedite transfer of property tax from the County to the City, and provide direction for land use and permitting functions in newly annexed areas. Building Code Council Jurisdiction Federal Way supports continued State Building Codes Council jurisdiction over the Uniform Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Fire Code, and other state codes now under its jurisdiction. Adopted 9/99 Land Use Dispute Resolution Federal Way supports practical solutions to private property disputes that address specific concerns of property owners, including regulatory reform if necessary. These solutions should not alter the Constitutional definition oftakJngs, place an undue financial burden on taxpayers, or diminish local governments', ability to protect the public health, safety and welfare of their communities. 4 Forest Permits The Department of Natural Resources is presently authorized to issue Class II and Class III Forest Practice Permits, which allow logging without review by municipal authorities within urbanized areas contained within city limits or designated urban growth boundaries. Class IV permits, however, do require municipal authority review. The past practice of issuing these permits has precluded city governments from providing appropriate controls to deal with the erosion and sedimentation in those permitted areas. As well, the uncontrolled logging of parcels within an urban area has precluded local government from providing regulations to help ensure that the property property transitions into appropriate urban development. Therefore, Federal Way supports state legislatveeffe~s-te-on that require~_ that all Forest Practice Permits issued within the city #mits or within the designated urban growth boundary be subject to the same local government review process now provided in the consideration and issuance of Class IV Forest Practce Permits. Alternatively, cities should be allowed to adopt and enforce land clearing, significant tree protection and related issues for Class II and III forest permits. Social and Human Services Support for Human Services Federal Way supports legislatve action that will maintain support for human service programs including those whic, l~-that may be delegated to the state from the Federal Government. Such legislative action should ensure appropriate local government input into development of block grant dispersal regulations or procedures and into development of any new processes to assist or support Iow-income, high-need populations. Affordable Housing Federal Way supports effedslegisiaton to identify a dedicated funding source for affordable housing ;':h!ch that is acceptable to developers, realtors, and state and local government. Collaboration with School Districts Federal Way supports =ftc.'*-_ b~' tho -..*._~t.: tcleGislaton that provides__ incentives to cities and school districts to work collaboratvely in addressing local youth issues. Such collaboration should go beyond historical roles of each local agency. Local Public Health Contractual Funding Federal Way opposes effedelegislation te-that reestablishes contractual funding arrangements for public health services. Boards of Public Health Federal Way supports local government representation on County boards of public health. Youth Issues Funding of Youth Programs Federal Way supports legislation improving funding to local governments for initiating and expanding youth sen, ices, especially programs that achieve reductions in youth violence. Child Care Federal Way supports budget provisions to enhance the Department of Social and Health Services'. (DSHS) abiity I to enforce its day care licensing requirements, to improve support services for daycare providers, and to ensure the accessibility to child care for all citizens. In addition, the City will carefully monitor legislation clarifying its role in regulatng the siting and operation of daycare facilities. I Child Abuse Federal Way supports funding for programs designed to prevent child abuse/neglect_ Lawand Justice Funding ~sues Drug Seizure Funds Federal Way supports efferts-telegisia'don that enhance~_ the ease with which cities can apply for and receive drug seizure funds and particularly supports the expansion of the definition of what those funds can be expended upon to include all law enforcement functions. DUI Laws and Cost Recovery The City supports continued legislation to strengthen DUI laws, including legislation to make a third DU} offense a felony. Federal Way also supports legislation to allow recovery of necessary public expenses, including detention costs, which result from incidents involving iml~aired~ldvi~lDUI convictons. Amended 9~00 Costs of Incarceration Federal Way supports legislation that would de-away-witheliminate the current limit of $50 per day that can be assessed ss jail costs against a person convicted of a misdemeanor,. ~'~" -~' ....... I and instead allow t~e-a_city to impose a calculated amount representing the-a_city's actual costs of incarcerating the individual. District and Municipal Courts (*) Local Court Reform Federal Way supports efforts to achieve greater efficiencies in the state's court systems. However, the City .Opposes a) any new unfunded responsibilities, b) eliminating local authority to operate municipal courts, or c) eliminating or reducing city oversight of municipal court budgets and personnel. Adopted 9~00 District Court Judges Federal Way supports legislation allowing counties to determine the appropriate number of district court judges within their jurisdictions. Adopted 9/99 Municipal Court Judges The City opposes legislation that would mandate the election of municipal court judges who work less than thirty- five hours per week. The City also opposes differentiation between full-time and part-time municipal judges in any legislation that implements partial or total state funding of municipal judicial salaries. Adopted 9/99 Municipal Court Commissioners Federal Way supports legislation clarifying that municipal court commissioners have the full authority of municipal court judges, and that state statutes referencing the authority of district court commissioners also refer to municipal court commissioners. Adopted 9/99 Municipal Court Sessions .The City supports legislation that would clarify a municipal court may hold sessions outside of the city limits. Adopted 9~00 Court Revenues Federal Way opposes any effort to increase the percentage of district and municipal court revenues that must be remitted to the state. Adopted 9/99 Probation Liability Federal Way supports legislation that reduces local liability in operating misdemeanor probation or pre-trial release Programs. Adopted 9~00 Gamblino. Liquor Control, and Adult Entertainment (*)Gambling Fa~aa~aliekme~eFacility Zoning The City supports ~'5.-.; legislation confirming local governments-the authority to regulate the siting of gambling establishments and enact moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for gambling establishments. The City also supports legislation allowing the state Gambling Commission to limit the number of licenses it approves for a given geographic area. Adopted 9/99 Card Room and Liquor Licenses Application Processes Federal Way strongly supports any effeds*teleaislation that make~_ the commercial liquor license and house-banked card room license application processes more accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve access by the community and would encourage greater input and comment from all interested parties. In addition, license applications should be made available for public inspection and subsequent written comment at the local government level. Amended 9/99 Liquor Control Board Review and Restructuring The state should conduct a performance evaluation and/or audit of the liquor control board as it relates to its mission of regulating liquor for the sake of our ~tate's communities. The Legislature should restructure/reaffirm Liquor Control Board as mandated by the evaluation and/or audit. Adult Entertainment The City supports model ordinance legislation for adult entertainment consistent with the provisions of Federal W=~,~'_'sWay's adult entertainment ordinance which have been sustained through numerous court appeals. Adult Retail Federal Way supports authorizing local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult retail establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for location and hours of operation. Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value, diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values. Law Enforcement Issues Local Law Enforcement Authority Federal Way opposes legislation and/or other efforts to remove the authority of municipalities to provide local law enforcement services, including special services, regardless of the potential for service contracting. The City also opposes actions or legislation :;.~'.~chthat would transfer incarceration responsibilities from the state or county to municipalities without additional funding. Police Officer Jurisdiction Federal Way supports efferteiegislation to allow police officers to enforce the state'.s laws anywhere in the state. This would reduce the liability for cities with officers who assist with incidents outside the city'_s borders. As it stands now, jurisdictions must exchange letters giving consent to officers to enforce law outside of their jurisdictions. Amended 9/99 Public Safety Personnel Privacy Federal Way suppo~s effedeiegislation to protect the identYdes of public safety personnel by eliminating public disclosure requirements for names and addresses, allowing private entYdes such as credit agencies to withhold names and addresses without prior consent of the individual, and allowing such individuals to register personal vehicles at their places of employment. Adopted 9/99 Radar Testimony Federal Way supports legislation allowing for the admission in court of the readings of speed measuring devices without the need for additional expert testimony if the device satisfies specific requirements established by the Legislature. Federal Way would also support alternative legislation ::.~.~hthat would ak)wthe City to imposet~e cost of witness fees in cases where the infraction is found to have been committed. Adopted 9/99 Juvenile Issues Parental Accountability Federal Way supports legislation :-;h!ch[.hat makes parents more accountable for their juvenile offender children. 7 Disposition Standards for Juvenile Offenders Federal Way supports legislation revising the currant juvenile disposition standards to provide stronger sanctions for chronic, misdemeanor behavior for juvenile offenders and to permit the court greater discrelion to impose detention or some form of secure treatment in cases of juvenile offenders who have prior criminal history. Emergency Communications Federal Way opposes the creation of aa_~n E-311 non-emergency communications system. Rather, efforts should be made to further educate the community about the use of the existing E-911 system and existing 7-digit non-emergency lines. Empty Chair Defense Federal Way supports legislative action related to tort reform to cla~fy that the defendant should not be required to mandatorily join all potential "at fault' entities into litigation, or have to risk losing the ability to apportion fault to the third party(s). Any move to the contrary would inappropriately shift the burden of proof from the plainffif to the defendant in proving fault. Public Works, Parks, and Environment Transportation Issues (*)Transportation Funding Reform Federal Way supports continued reform of state funding for transportation to include a broad range of funding solutions able to address traffic congestion, growth and High Capacity Transit alternatives. Such reform should seek funding sources, which will be dedicated to major local transportation projects, keep up with inflation, and provide the--eit~ifies with local option revenue authority for the expansion, maintenance and operation of local transportation systems. (*) Desien-Build Authority Federal Way suD~orts reauthorization of the design-build and general contractor I construction manager (GC/CM) procedures for maior capital projects, and supports reducing the population and project valuethrsshoids to 50,000 and $5 million, respectNely. Adopted 9/00 Public Works Project Definition The City supports defining small public works projects as those costing less than $100,000 and exempting such projects from the state'.s Public Works Projects definition. The current definition of small public works projects is easily confused and is applied inconsistently across different local jurisdictions. Public Works Trust Fund The Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) benefits many local governments with dependable, long term funding for repair and reconstructon of local public works systems. The Legislature is now required to approve an annual list of projects, but has never deleted a project recommended by the Public Works Board. Federal Way supports continued allocation of funds to the PVVTF and supports elimination of the Legislative approval requirement Expediting the approval process would facilitate the construction of these projects by the summer construction season. Federal Way opposes attempts to divert PVVTF funds and other local capital fundin,q sources to projects not selected throu~lh the competYdve application process. Amended 9/99, 9100 (*)Bidding Procedures and Limits Federal Way supports continued effedslegi~on to streamline state laws and regulations governing the bidding process, giving cities graater flexibility in bidding procedures and limits. This could include ;=~,-,; further increases in_...~e ceiling for small works roster projects from $-~2_.00,000 to $1,000,000 to reduce the costly bid process. Amended 9/00 Transportation Improvement Plan Federal Way encourages effertsiegislation to secure state support for City priority transportation projects as ou'dined in the City'.s 20001-200~56_ Transportation Improvement Plan. Amended 9/99. 9~00 Water Resources (*}Salmon Issues State initiatives related to ~alme~abitata-Endangered Species Act (ESA) implementation should cent=!.-. !ccc=! eemfle~m~M~recognize the vast diversity of conditions across the state. !r. __.dd~cn, ~.~J~l_ I state initJalJves and processes related to salmon should include meaningful input from local government. ESA is essentially an unfunded mandate. As such, the federal and state ~lovernments should provide funding for local Rovemments to meat its requirements. Amended 9100 Water Resource Management Addressing water resource management issues will require increased intergovernmental coordingdon among local and regional governments and the state. Federal Way supports continued state financial assistance for water supply, wastewater management, groundwater protection, and storm and surface water facilities and programs. These programs are especially important in complying with state and federal water qual~ standards (NPDES, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System). The City also supports retention of the authority of local water districts to manage their assets, participating in regional planning as appropriate, to provide and protect for the current and future water needs of their customers. Flood Damage Reduction Federal Way contains a number of flood prone areas, beth developed and undeveloped which require specialized planning. Recent proposed flood damage reduction legislation wes flawed, partially due to the fact that is was based on an overall floodway approach, which does not consider all flood prone areas in the state. The City supports comprehensive flood damage prevention planning accomplished at the local level as a partnership among impacted ci'des, the county, state and affected area interests. Each flood prone area is unique and should be planned for accordingly. Locally developed and adopted flood damage protection plans must seek to establish a balance between the need for appropriately designed growth and the need to reduce further flood damage. Parks and Open Space Federal Way encourages ~eaisia~on to secure state support for parks and open space projects ss oulJined in local plans. This support should include legislation to exempt public park and public cultural arts facility construction from state and local option sales taxes. Amended 9199 Funding of county-wide recycling programs Federal Way opposes legislative and other efforts to fund cc'.:'.-.~; ::':dccountywide solid waste by allowing counties to collect a fee directly from customers of city franchisers. Cities are the appropriate collectors of these fees through city-negotiated solid waste franchise agreements. Enerav and Telecommunications Telecommunications Federal Way continues to strongly oppose legislation ;:.~.!ch that would preempt local authority over such items as pole attachments, cellular tower siting, cable refranchislng, and telecommunications charges~. city supports legislation to grant local Rovernments the right to charge a franchise fee and other fees to wireless providers seeking to locate facilities in rights-of-way. Amended 9199, 9~00 Utility Facility Relocation Federal Way supports e~.e~ts-t~-al~'~-t~,a~-maintaining the d'..~./cfrequirement that private utilities te-im~e~bead~ nec~otiate right-of-way agreements, bear the cost of relocating their facilities within city rights-of-way ;: .~._~, :...~'.'---~---~ ~; = eity, and submit to other city controls on the operation of telecommunications businesses in public rights-of-way.= Amended 9~00 Electric Industry Regulation Federal Way supports energy utility regulation based on the following principles: a) Local governments should retain the authority to manage industry facilities within the public right of way and the authority to tax the utility providers, b) Electricity service should be available to customers at prices that are reasonable and affordable, c) A non-economic bypass and the inappropriate shifting of costs of the electric system between or among customers do not constitute felr and efficient competition. Customers of continuing monopoly service should benefit, at least, not be harmed, from choices made by customers with access to competYdve options, d) The long-term safety, integrity, reliability and quality of the bulk electric system and retail electricity service should not be jeopardized, e) Consumers should be afforded a broad range of choice in electricity service and pricing options, f) Development of competitive electricity markets should 9 not undermine environmental protection, energy efficiency, resource diversity and technological innovation, and g) the public should maintain a voice in the industry'.s regulatory process and the interests of customers should contnueto be I balanced with the opportunity for shareholders to earn fair returns. I Tax Collections by Out-of-State Providers State law should require out-of-state electricity providers to collect state and local utility taxes on services provided to customers within the State of Washington. 10 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY MEMORANDUM August3,2000 To: FROM: VIA: SUBJECT: Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) Stephen Clifton, AICP, Director of Community Development Serviq~' Margaret H. Clark, AICP, Senior Planner ~ David Md~~anager Follow Up Amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies BACKGROUND The city has received a request from King County to review and ratify three amendments (Motion 99-1, Substitute Motion 99-2, and Motion 99-4) to the King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). For background purposes, please find attached the duly 13, 2000 Staff Report to the LUTC. The LUTC discussed these motions at their July 17, 2000, meeting and took the following actions: Motion 99-1 (ExhibffA) -An amendment to the CPPs to adjust targets for new housing units to reflect annexations and incorporations from April 1994 through January 1998. The LUTC made a motion not to accept these amendments and directed staff to draft a letter to King County conveying this information. Substitute Motion 99-2 (Exhibit B) - An amendment to the CPPs to reassign new housing targets for Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) and adoption of an interim Potential Annexation Area Map (Exhibit C) that will remain interim until ali unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAAs without gaps or overlaps. The LUTC made a motion not to accept these amendments and directed staffto draft a letter to King County conveying this information. The question also came up on whether the formula for reallocating targets from King County to the PAA was being consistently applied to all jurisdictions. Staff followed up with King County staff on this question and the following explains the background of the reallocation process. Countywide Planning Policies LU-66 and 67 require all jurisdictions to establish 20-year household targets in their comprehensive plans. The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) adopted the target number of net new households to be accommodated by King County by the Year 2012 as 195,000 new households. The cities portion was 150,803 new households and unincorporated King County's portion was 44,897 (Exhibit D). Unincorporated King County's Targets was comprised of both the Rural Growth Area Targets (5,800 to 8,200) and Urban Growth Area Targets (34,200 to Land Use Transportation Committee Page 2 August 3, 2000 41,800). The 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan then broke down the Urban Growth Area 20 Year targets (34,200 to 41,800 with a midpoint of 38,000, please refer to Table 1) between the various Community Planning Areas. These household targets were allocated between the Community Planning Areas based on proximity to Centers, availability or potential of transit and adequate roads, water and sewer services, and analysis of vested development activity. The Federal Way Community Planning Area received a target of 3,300 to 4,200 new households to be accommodated by the Year 2012 (Exhibit E). As can be seen in Exhibit F, the Federal Way Planning Area includes a larger area than the PAA. Please note that the proposed target for the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA) is 1,894. Household targets for individual cities were adopted as part of the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) in July 1994. The targets were drafted by a staff committee, the Urban Centers/Population Allocation Subcommittee, chaired by Rob Odle (then of Bellevue). The sub-committee treated household and associated growth targets as ways of expressing the major goals of the CPPs, which were to encourage growth in Urban Areas, and to the extent possible, focus growth particularly in a number of Urban Centers connected by high-speed transit. In order to determine city household targets, two main factors were used, land capacity of each city and the policy intent of each city to accommodate growth. Since the 20-year household targets were allocated, there had been a number of incorporations of new cities and annexations by existing cities. However, as these incorporations and annexations took place, households were not being reallocated from unincorporated King County (unincorporated portions of the Urban Growth Area) to the cities. Therefore, unincorporated King County was left with the same housing target that was established in 1994, while the amount of land available to meet this target had decreased. As a result, in early 1998, the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) asked the Urban Centers/Population Allocation Sub-committee to look at reallocation of household targets. This committee was the same committee that was originally involved in allocating household targets in1994; however, Steve Cohn of Bellevue now chaired the sub-committee. The sub-committee started meeting to discuss various methodologies to reallocate targets. Federal Way staff attended these discussions. After examining a number of strategies to calculate the adjustment, the sub- committee settled on a methodology, which was based on the proportion of Urban Land Area (water and designated open space is excluded) to household targets in the Community Planning Area. Therefore, if a city annexed 12 percent of the Urban-designated Planning Area's non-park and non- water acreage, it should add 12 percent of the unincorporated Planning Area's Urban target. Because the original unincorporated targets were deliberately set lower than those of cities, the added target would be proportionately much lower that the city target. The total acreage in the Federal Way Community Planning Area is 10,573 acres and the household target for the Planning Area is 3,750 (the midpoint of the 3,300 - 4,200 range). This works out to 3,750/10,573, which is equal to 0.35 households per acre. The following table (Table 1) shows the comparison of households per acre for each planning area based on total acreage as of April 1, 1994, and assigned housing target.

This map is considered to be interim until all unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAAs without gaps or overlaps. This map may also be amended to reflect other CPP policy direction." If the LUTC desires to ratify this portion of the Motion, staff recommends the following amendment, "The Interim PAA Map describes the areas receiving target allocations in Table CPP Appendix 2B. This map is considered to be interim until all unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAAs without gaps or overlaps, except for those jurisdictions which have entered into PAA Interlocal Agreements with all surrounding iurisdictions, in which case, the PAA boundaries shall be considered final. This map may also be amended to reflect other CPP policy direction." o Motion 99-4 (Exhibit G) - An amendment to the CPPs to remove the six-year development capacity work item and to incorporate the review and evaluation ("Buildable Lands") program as required by the State Growth Management Act under RCW 36.70A.215. The LUTC requested that someone from King County attend the August 7, 2000, LUTC meeting to explain this proposed amendment (motion). Paul Reitenbach with the King County Office of Regional Policy Planning will be attending the August 7h LUTC meeting. Following the July 17, 2000 LUTC meeting, staff contacted King County for clarification on this proposed amendment. Chandler Felt, King County Demographer, explained that when the CPPs were initially adopted, the GMPC established the Land Capacity Task Force. The purpose of this Task Force was to develop a standard methodology for measuring land capacity (both residential and commercial/industrial) and also to develop a baseline set of estimates to ensure that adequate capacity existed to meet the 20-year population projections established by the state. The Task Force came up with the capacity analysis methodology, which is being used by all jurisdictions to estimate land capacity. They also prepared the 1997 residential report, which concluded that there was adequate capacity to meet the 20-year population projections. Land Use Transportation Committee Page 4 August 3, 2000 The remaining work for the Task Force was to develop a method for calculating six-year development capacity. This methodology would ensure that all jurisdictions had adequate infrastructure capacity to ensure theoretical vacant land capacity. However, the Task Force could not determine how to accomplish this, so a methodology was never arrived at. In 1997, the Growth Management Act (GMA) was amended to adopt the "Buildable Lands" legislation that required a review and evaluation program, which duplicated the work required of the Task Force because Buildable Lands required jurisdictions to develop similar information for a five-year period. Please see Exhibit H- RCW 36. 70A.215. Review and Evaluation Program (Buildable Lands Legislation). Therefore, the GMPC recommends deleting the policy language requiring the six-year capacity analysis, and replacing it with a policy supporting the Buildable Lands program as required by the GMA. Washington State Community, Trade, and Economic Development has recently issued (July 12, 2000) the Buildable Lands Program Guidelines. These guidelines allow flexibility for each county to approach the Buildable Lands requirement as it sees fit. King County is working with all its jurisdictions to come up with a methodology to address the Buildable Lands Requirements. If the LUTC desires to ratify this Motion, staff recommends the following amendment: Under Step 5b, "...If the results of this program are inconsistent with the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA), King Ceun,%, and its cities each jurisdiction shall identify reasonable measures in accordance with the GMA, other than adjusting the Urban Growth areas that will be taken to comply with those requirements."

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner ~ David M~anager Amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies BACKGROUND The city has received a request from King County to review and ratify amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) (Exhibit A). Generally, the amendments include the following: 1. Motion 99-1 (Exhibit B) - An amendment to the CPPs to adjust targets for new housing units to reflect annexations and incorporations from April 1994 through January 1998. Substitute Motion 99-2 (Exhibit C) - An amendment to the CPPs to reassign new housing targets for Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) and adoption of an interim Potential Annexation Area Map (Exhibit D) that will remain interim until all unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAAs without gaps or overlaps. Motion 99-4 (Exhibit E) - An amendment to the CPPs to remove the six-year development capacity work item and to incorporate the review and evaluation CBuildable Lands") program as required by the State Growth Management Act under RCW 36.70A.215. II. HISTORY July 28, 1999 May 22, 2000 August 21, 2000 Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) adopted Motion 99-1, Substitute Motion 99-2, and Motion 99-4, which recommend these amendments. Per Ordinance No. 13858 (Exhibit F), the King County Council approved and ratified these amendments on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County. Federal Way will have been deemed to have ratified the amendment unless the amendment is disapproved by legislative action. Land Use Transportation Committee Page 2 July 13, 2000 IlL DISCUSSION This section will address each amendment request followed by staff diseussi6n. 1. Motion 99-1 - An amendment to the CPPs to adjust targets for new housing units to reflect annexations and incorporations.from April 1994 through January 1998 (Exhibit B). Staff Discussion Since the adoption of the CPPs in 1994 when the 20-year household targets were allocated, 'there have been a number of incorporations of new cities and annexations by existing cities. However, as these incorporations and annexations took place, households were not being reallocated from unincorporated King County to cities. Therefore, unincorporated King County was left with the same housing target that was originally established in 1994, while the amount of land available to meet this target had decreased. The GMPC recommends amending Appendix 2 (Proposed Growth Target Ranges for Households and EmploymenO (Exhibit G) of the CPPs to account for the transfer of household targets from unincorporated King County to cities as a result of annexations and incorporation. CPP Appendix 2A shows HousehoM Growth Target Re-Allocation Based on Annexations & Incorporations between April 1994 and January 1998 (Page 3 of Exhibit B). The amendment to the policies would affect all cities and is basically reallocating targets from unincorporated King County to cities as cities incorporate or annex new land. For the City of Federal Way, this shows that Federal Way's target would increase by 243 housing units, going from the original target of 13,425 - 16,566, to a new target of 13,668 - 16,809. This increase is based on the 1994 Weyerhaeuser annexation' of approximately 700 acres. An interjurisdictional team led by King County demographer, Chandler Felt, developed the methodology for the transfer of targets to cities. The City of Federal Way participated in the discussion of the approved methodology, which amounts to the addition of approximately 0.35 household per acre annexed. Substitute Motion 99~2- An amendment to the CPPs to reassign new housing targets for Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) and adoption of an interim Potential Annexation Area Map (Exhibit D) which will remain interim until all unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAds without gaps or overlaps (Exhibit C). Staff Discussion This motion recommends amending the CPPs by adopting CPP Appendix 2B HousehoM Growth Target Re-Allocation Based on Annexations and lncorporations after January 1, 1998 (Page 3 of Exhibit C) to reassign targets from unincorporated King County to each city's PAA. For the City of Federal Way, this shows that as of April 28, 1999, the City had been allocated an additional 45 housing units (based on the Enchanted Park Annexation of approximately 72 acres, and the Weyerhaeuser North and South Annexations of approximately 47 acres). This table also shows that the remaining target in the Federal Way PAA is 1,606 housing units. Once all the PAA has been annexed, the target for the City, including all of the PAA, would be 15,319 to 18,460 units. This motion also adopts an Interim Potential Annexation Areas Map, which shows PAAs, as adopted in jurisdictions' comprehensive plans (Exhibit D). Land Use Transportation Committee Page 3 July 13, 2000 Motion 99-4 - An amendment to the CPPs to remove the six-year development capacity work item and to incorporate the review and evaluation ("Buildable Lands ") program as required by the State Growth Management Act under RCW 36. 70A.215 (Exhibit E). Staff Discussion When the CPPs were initially adopted, the GMPC established the Land Capacity Task Force. The purpose of this Task Force was to develop a standard methodology for measuring land capacity (both residential and commercial/industrial) and also to develop a baseline set of estimates to ensure that adequate capacity existed to meet the 20-year population projections established by the State. The Task Force completed their work in 1998, concluding that there was adequate capacity to meet the 20-year population projections. The remaining work for the Task Force was to develop a method for calculating six-year development capacity. However, in 1997, the Growth Management Act (GMA) was amended to adopt the "Buildable Lands" legislation that required a review and evaluation program, which duplicated the work required of the Task Force. Therefore, the GMPC recommends deleting the policy language requiring the six-year capacity analysis, and replacing it with a policy supporting the "Buildable Lands" program as required by the GMA. IV RECOMMENDATION The recommendations contained in Motion 99-1 and Substitute Motion 99~2 are intended to adopt a methodology to reallocate targets from King County to PAAs of cities, and also to transfer targets to cities from their PAAs as annexations occur. In the case of incorporations, there is a transfer of targets from unincorporated King County to cities. The policies affect all cities and are based on a standard methodology prepared by an interjurisdictional team. Motion 99-4 is intended to remove the need for duplicative monitoring of six-year capacity of jurisdictions. Staff recommends that the LUTC forward a recOmmendation of approval to the full city council and vote to ratify the proposed amendments to the C?Ps. V.

BACKGROUND: .. In 1999, the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) adopted the following three motions recommending amendments to the King County 2012 - Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs): Motion 99-1: A~nding the CQun!~,',,id~¢,Pi~ii(ii!i~'P.b.!iC.i.eS'¢'.to .a]djq~t larget~;.!.f'.0(i;;i)~t¢ .l!:~:,S,i'(!g .unit~ to. r~Sect annexations an8 i~cOtPoration's from A[~f'il ,1994 'tt~ro0gh"danuary.:! 998 (§6(~ ]Att~dl~i~'e.d't'.:,1,.:t¢'.Proi3osod O~dinance Summaw: Since the adoption of the CPPs in May 1994, there have been nHmerous annexations and incorporations. These annexations and incorporations have significantly reduced the size and population of unincorporated King County, and increased the size and population of specific incorporated cities. The GMPC recommends amending Appendix 2 (household growth targets) to the CPPs to account for the transfer of unincorporated lands to the jurisdiction of incorporated cities. The housing targets associated with each annexation or incorporation would be assumed by the annexing (or new) jurisdiction. An intedurisdictional team led by King County Demographer Chandler Felt developed the revised housing targets. Vote: Motion 99-1 was adopted by a vote of 5 ¼ to 0 on June 16th, 1999. Substitute MotiOn 99-2: Amending the c0Un(~i~8'!~l'~r~'"r~ii~gPoliCies t° reassign n(~w"houSing:targets for potential annexation areas (see Attachment 2 to Prop0Sed .o.r~diD.ar~ce2000~0212:) ...... summary: In order to advise cities the extent to which their housing targets will increase once P°tential Annexation Areas are annexed, the GMPC recommends adding a new table to Appendix 2 of the CPPs, assigning target ranges to potential annexation areas. Additionally, Motion 99-2 adopts an Interim Potential Annexation Areas Map, which shows the boundaries of potential annexation areas as adopted in local jurisdictions' comprehensive plans. Vote: Motion 99-2.was adopted by a vote of 5 ¼ to 0 on June 16% 1999. Motion 99-4:' 'Amending the Count~ide.planning P0iibies i~° remove thb'~ZYS~( develppment capacity work item and to incorPorate ~the reView and e~ai~( ~:~r~r~: rlequired by the';~t~t~ s:'~o~h Management Act bnd~r:' RCW 36.70A.215. Summa~: In conjunction with the initial adoption of the CPPs, the GMPC established the Land Capacity Task Force (LCTF) to develop a standard methodology for measuring land capacity, and to produce a baseline set of estimates to ensure adequate urban area capacity (both residential and commercial/industrial). The LCTF completed their work in 1998, concluding that there was adequate capacity to meet the 20-year population projections set forth by the State. The remaining work item for the LCTF was to develop a method for calculating 6- year development capacity, however in 1997 the GMA was amended to require a review and evaluation program that would essentially duplicate the work of the LCTF with respect to the 6-year analysis. Therefore, the GMPC recommends deleting the policy language requiring a 6-year capacity analysis, and replacing it with a policy supporting the "Buildable Lands" program, as required by GMA. Vote: Motion 99-4 was adopted unanimously on July 28% 1999. PA E OF _ SUMMARY: ProPosed Substitute Ordinance 2000-0212 woul~l amend the Countywide Planning Policies by: · Adjusting housing targets to reflect the annexations and incorporations that occurred'between April, 1994 and January, 1998; · Assign housing targets to Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs), to advise jurisdictions the extent tO which their respective housing targets would increase if certain PAAs are annexed; Removing the 6-year development capacity work item and replacing it with the review and evaluation ("Buildable Lands" ) program required by the Washington State Growth Management Act. Additionally, the ordinance would ratify the changes on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County, as required by Countywide Planning Policy FW-1, Step 9. Amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies become effective when ratified by ordinance or resolution by at least 30% of the city and county governments representing 70% of the population of King County according to the Interlocal agreement. A city shall be deemed to have ratified the' countywide planning policy unless, within 90 days of adoption by King County, they city by legislative action disapproves the countywide planning policy.

WHEREAS, the 1994 Countywide Planning Policies established a housing target range for each city and for King County, and annexations and incorporations have occurred since that time; and WHEREAS, the 1994 targets need to be revised to establish target ranges for the new incorporated areas and to increase the target range for cities which have annexed formerly unincorporated areas, and to correspondingly decrease the target range for unincorporated areas.

(Rural Area growth target ranges are presented in Chapter Three, Rural Land Use.) These subarea household target ranges were developed for transportation modeling purposes to test for the adequacy of transportation facilities. The test establishes whether the facilities are equal to, less than or greater than an established level of service, based on the initial recommended household target range derived from the Urban Centers Subcommittee and Interjurisdictional Staff Group. The effect of reducing the unincorporated growth target ranges is that transportation modeling provides a more con- servative estimate of King County's ability to provide infrastructure to support future growth. These household target ranges were allocated based on the share of both vacant and redevelopable acres available to support new development in the subareas as well as the following considerations: · Proximity to centers; · Availability or potential of transit and adequate roads, water and sewer services, and · Analysis of vested development activity. Although they may be refined through future planning with affected communities and adjacent cities, these ranges are intended to be used as a guide for future planning of land uses and decisions on services and infrastructure.
