Approval of the January 23, 2012 LUTC Minutes N/A Committee approved the January 23, 2012 LUTC minutes as presented. Moved: Honda Seconded: Celski Passed: Unanimously, 2-0 B. Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan :'rr Senior Planner Janet Shull and City Traffic Engineer Rick Perez presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Committee member Jeanne Burbidge joined the meeting at 5:50 PM. Chair Celski thanked staff for their efforts and hard work on this project as the project is very worthwhile and needed in our community. Chair Celski also commented that he was pleased with the combined efforts of staff, consultants, community teams and residents. Committee member Honda commented on bike boulevards, stating that they do not look safe from a cyclist's point of view. Has there been any feedback from the cycling community? Mr. Perez shared the majority of the data comes from Portland, OR. Portland has experienced growth in the use of bike boulevards for both commuters and recreational use. Signs and Feb 21, 2012 Consent Resolution Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 2 February 13, 2012 � pavement markings on the bike boulevards have also had a positive effect on driver expectancy. Of those streets identified in the Plan for bike boulevards, only a portion of these already have sidewalks. They also may or may not have street lighting. Costs to construct sidewalks run approximately $1 Million per mile whereas signage is relatively much less expensive. Ideally, sidewalks as a bike boulevard are ideal and would be retrofitted in over time as funding allows. Councilmember Roger Freeman joined the meeting at 6:01 PM. Committee member Burbidge also thanked staff and community members for their hard work, time and effort that went into preparing the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Committee member Burbidge stated that bike boulevards are very positively reviewed and is glad to see staff looking at this alternative. Chair Celski asked if there was traffic accident data in Portland that we could study and analyze. Mr. Perez commented he is not aware of any such data at this time. Mr. Perez introduced Amalia Leighton, the consultant representing SvR (SvR Design Co.) to respond to Chair Celski's question. Ms. Leighton stated that there is a lot of information coming out of Portland. Portland has seen a huge reduction in vehicle vs. bicyclist collisions as well as vehicle vs. vehicle collisions. In addition, the City of Tuscon, AZ has implemented bike boulevards and has similar data. Locally, the cities of Seattle and Sea Tac have recently passed ordinances to pursue bike boulevards and should have data available in the near future. Bike boulevards are best suited for streets that have lower speeds and lower average daily trips (ADT's). Chair Celski inquired whether there had been a campaign in either Portland or Tuscon to educated motorists and bicyclists on the bike boulevards. Ms. Leighton said, yes, these educational campaigns are typically put on by the advocacy groups and are very helpful (ie. Cascade Bicycle Club). Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented. Moved: Burbidge Seconded: Honda Twin Lakes Commercial District Subarea Plan Passed: Unanimously; 3-0 Associate Planner Matt Herrera presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Chair Celski complemented staff on their efforts on the project and their communication with the community. Committee member Honda inquired about the food cart zone area and wondered if the existing fast food establishments have had any input. Mr. Herrera noted that although ali businesses in this area were invited to participate, no food establishments chose to send any representatives. Mr. Herrera also said that the food cart policy was geared towards the existing Safeway and Fred Meyer grocery stores as well as the safe route to school within the Fred Meyer parking lot. The carts would and/or could be an extension of the two existing grocery stores. Committee member Honda also asked about the possibility of using the former Albertson's parking lot as the location for a farmers market. Mr. Herrera explained that staff had already attempted to help facilitate an agreement between the Federal Way Farmer's Market and Albertson's for this purpose. The amount of liability insurance the property owner would require was excessive and did not make the use of the parking lot feasible. Committee member Honda also suggested looking into another area such as something owned by the school district, the King. Co. Park and Ride. Mr. Henera stated that these options are being looked into, including potentially the parking lot at Fred Meyer. It may bring in more business to the store. Committee member Burbidge again expressed her gratification for staff's work on this project and supports encouraging stores to bring healthy food choices outside. Committee member Burbidge looks forward to seeing the ideas in the subarea plan progress as time goes on. Committee member Burbidge asked for about the number of parking stalls that would be Feb 21, 2012 Ordinance 1 Reading G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2012�2-13-12 Minutes.doc Land Use/Transportation Committee required per our revised code. Mr. Herrera stated that one parking space per every 300 square feel of retail area, although there are probably many times parking lots are not filled to capacity. Chair Celski asked if property owners, banks, grocery stores, fast food, restaurants and property owners are have been involved in this project. Mr. Herrera replied that unfortunately staff could not get any property owners to participate as a stakeholder, primary because property owners are located out of state. One of the stakeholders owns a business in the Albertson's strip mall, there was also one person representing Twin Lakes Village at the public workshop. As staff gets further into the implementation process of this plan, it will become more important that area properiy owners, and individuals representing businesses get involved. These decisions will affect the commercial property values in this subarea. Committee member Honda asked what the reasoning was behind naming the sub-area `Twin Lakes'. How long did it take the Twin Lakes HOA to request the sub-area name be changed? Mr. Herrera responded that the sub-area was named Twin Lakes due to the history behind the area it encompassed (Twin Lakes Center, Twin Lakes Village, Twin Lakes Post Office, Twin Lakes Park & Ride, etc.). Staff, stakeholders and the Twin Lakes HOA came to agreement to name the subarea the Twin Lakes Commercial District. Committee member Honda requested that additional residential areas (over'/4 mile perimeter from the commercial district) be added to the sub-area network as many other neighborhood communities outside of the current sub-azea support the proposed improvements to the subject intersection and sub-area commercial district. Chair Celski asked if the area could support the proposed mixed use in the sub-area. The sub- area is already very densely populated. Does it make sense to have more condos or apartments in an area that already has so many multi-family units? Mr. Herrera commented that the sub- area plan will have more mixed use and density but not in the immediate future. Given our regions current economic status, it would not make sense for developers to build new mixed use structures until the area can handle additional housing as well as mitigate the traffic impacts. Growth in the Twin Lakes Commercial District will definitely be market driven. Chair Celski also inquired more on healthy food. What ways can the city encourage business owners to explore healthy food concepts? Mr. Herrera responded that the city will be looking through the code and making sure there aren't codes that would be counterproductive to encouraging, for example, groceries to have outdoor food carts. It will be important to have options available to developers to encourage healthy food options for the community (ie. community gaxdens, farmers' markets, etc.). Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented. Moved: Honda. Seconded: Burbidge Passed: Unanimously; 3-0 D. S 344' Way @ Weyerhaeuser Way S Intersection Improvements — 85% Design Status Report: Streets Systems Project Engineer John Mulkey presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Committee member Burbidge asked if there are any outside funding sources for this project. Mr. Mulkey responded that staff is working with properiy owners toward land dedication in order to save the cost of property acquisition. The city is not looking into funding via the Transportarion Improvement Board (TIB) as staff does not feel that this project would not score high enough to receive funding. Committee member Honda asked about the timeline for construction. Mr. Mulkey stated that construction on this project is funding driven. Given the funding shortfall, this project will most likely be shelved until funding becomes available. 4 13, 2012 Feb 21, 2012 Consent G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2012\2-13-12 Minutes.doc Land Use/Transportation Committee Chair Celski inquired about what drives the need for this improvement versus the current infrastructure. City Traffic Engineer Rick Perez spoke in response to this question. Mr. Perez explained that future development dictates the need for this project. Future expansion of World Vision is slated for the land to the west of Weyerhaeuser Way at S 344` Way. Land to the south and east of the same location is expected to be developed over time, increasing traffic volume even more. The current failing level of service intersection plus anticipated future development would be best served with a two-lane roundabout. A traffic signal is not being considered, because although less expensive itself, Weyerhaeuser Way would have to be improved to accommodate all lanes of traffic from the signal to the freeway. The comprehensive cost to accomplish this along with the maintenance far exceeds the cost of a roundabout. Statistically, a roundabout is a much safer option with more capacity. Chair Celski followed up, given the current economy and future development, if there truly is an immediate need for this project. Mr. Perez stated the project can be shelved until a more appropriate time; when that time comes, the project will be construction ready. Committee member Burbidge and Mr. Perez added there are more costs associated with a traffic signal on an on-going basis as well as the costs needed to maintain it. Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented. Moved: Burbidge Seconded: Honda Passed: Unanimously; 3-0 E. 10' Avenue SW @ SW Campus Drive Intersection Improvements — 85% Design Status Report Streets Systems Project Engineer John Mulkey presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Committee member Honda stated she is very familiar with this location and did not see the need for this project. Mr. Perez explained how projects move through the process, highlighting the 20 year Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and the 6-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Factors, such as level of service (LOS) failure, travel demand modeling, present and future growth all factor in to project planning. This particular project was identified several years ago. The city also receives mitigation funds from development that impacts the project area. In the case of this project, the City was able to utilize mitigation funds for this project's design. Chair Celski asked if there were some alternative to construction, yet achieving the same goals, ie. having better signage and signals at existing locations. Mr. Perez stated that staff always considers how a location can be modified through signals, signage etc. before widening pavement. Chair Celski asked of the two projects (Weyerhaeuser Way and 10`� Ave SV�, which projects have the highest priority. Mr. Perez noted that that question will be ultimately decided by Council. Both projects are based on planning for future growth. Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

Committee member Burbidge asked for clarification on the projects funding. Mr. Mulkey made that clarification. Committee member Honda stated she is much happier about this project design that she was with the Michigan left alternative. Chair Celski noted the available funding for this project is above the estimated project expenditures. Chair Celski asked if the planning for this project leads into the planning for the Twin Lakes Commercial District sub-area. City Traffic Engineer Perez participated in the sub- area plan. Mr. Perez spoke of choosing this best traffic alternative that would minimize the impacts to existing businesses. When comparing alternatives, there were some trade-ofFs. T'he proposed alternative is viable and is also consistent with the Twin Lakes Commercial District Sub-Area Plan. Chair Celski commented that he hopes the project has been based on future traffic forecasts so that staff will not have to revisit this project in the future. Mr. Perez noted that the sub-area plan was not done in time to have been used in the land use and traffic modeling forecasts for this project; however, this sub-area will be made as transit friendly as possible so that the infrastructure will be able to accommodate increased mobility in the future. Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented. Moved: Honda Seconded: Burbidge Passed: Unanimously; 3-0 5.

Roe, P.E., Director of Parks, Public Works and Emergency Management �i�" FROM: William Appleton, P.E., Surface Water Manager �� Hollie Shilley, NPDES Coordinator & Water Quality Specialist �, SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Annual Report and SWMP , BACKGROUND: The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal permit that regulates stormwater and wastewater discharges to waters of the State. While it is a federal permit, regulatory authority lies with Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington was issued by DOE on January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 15, 2007. The permit requires that all affected municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which addresses six required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public Involvement and Participation, 3) IIlicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction Site Run-Off 5) Operations and Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities, and 6) Monitoring. In addition to the SWMP, the permit also requires permittees to submit an Annual Report intended to update the DOE on the status of the permittee's compliance with the NPDES Phase II Permit. Annual Reports must be submitted to DOE on or before March 31 of each year. Since the effective date of this permit, City staff has been working with the DOE and several regional forums to determine how to best meet the permit requirements. City staff has prepared the following documents to meet the 2011 SWMP and Annual Report requirements as specified under the permit. • The SWMP describes the City's applicable existing programs, as well as the plan to update and modify these programs as necessary to meet the requirements of the permit. The SWMP is a planning document which will be updated each year. • The components of the 2011 Annual Report include: a checklist detailing the status of individual permit requirements, a qualitative summary of Best Management practices implemented, and a brief description of any stormwater monitoring or studies conducted during 2011. cc: Project File Day File 24 ` ciTr oF ^..� Federal Way City of Federal Way Stormwater Management Program Pursuant to the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit # WAR 04 — 5516 25 Updated March, 2012 Table of Contents BACKGROUND...............................................................................................................................

While NPDES is a federal permit, it is primarily administered by state governments. The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington was issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology on January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 16, 2007. While. there are several types of NPDES permits, the municipal permit is intended to reduce the impacts from both point source (i.e. construction site runoffl and non-point source pollution carried by stormwater. Construction site run-off and non-point source pollution, such as oils and metals from cars, fertilizers and pesticides from lawns, soaps from car washes, and pet waste are major contributors to water quality degraciation in our lakes, streams, wetlands and the Puget Sound. One of the major requirements under the Municipal NPDES Permit is that all affected municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which addresses the required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public Involvement and Participation, 3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction Site Run-Off 5) Operations and Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities, and 6) Monitoring. While the permit went into effect in February of 2007, the permit phases program implementation requirements through 2012. On June 17, 2009, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a general permit modification to address outcomes of appeals and orders made by the Pollution Control Hearings Board. This Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit modification became effective on July 17, 2009. In 2011 the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 1478 to give cities and counties fiscal relief during periods of economic downturn by delaying or modifying certain regulatory and statuary requirements. This law affects the re- issuance of the updated Municipal Stormwater NPDES General Permit that was scheduled for 2012. Re-issuance deadlines and effective dates for the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater General permits have since been modified according to ESHB 1478: • Ecology will re-issue the current Phase II permits with no mod�cation in July 2012 for a period of one year. The current permit will be in effect for one additional year only—until August 2013. The requirements in the pe�mit will not change during that year. • Ecology will also re-issue the next updated Phase II permits at the same time with an effective date of August 2013. This permit will have updated permit requirements and new deadlines for permittees to meet. Although Ecology will reissue the updated Phase II permit in July 2012, it will not become effective until August 2013. The updated Phase II permit will be in effect until August 2018. Page 1 of 15 City of F�ec�eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program INTRODUCTION This document has been prepared to meet the City of Federal Way's Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit) requirement for development of a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) identified in Section S5.A.2 of the Permit. The City's SWMP outlines how the City will reduce the discharge of pollutants from the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), meet Washington State's All Known and Reasonable Technology (AKART) requirements, and protect water quality once it is fully implemented. All of the required SWMP elements are being implemented by the City. The City gathers, tracks, maintains and uses information on an ongoing basis to facilitate refinement and implementation of the SWMP, Permit compliance, and to set surFace water related priorities. Page 2 of 15 City of F� eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwa er Management Program SECTION 1- PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREAC�I 1.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.1) . Develop education and outreach programs that are designed to reduce or eliminate behaviors and practices that contribute to or cause adverse stormwater impacts. . Prioritize and address the target audiences and subject areas listed in the permit based on stormwater issues and practices currently existing in Federal Way. . Measure changes in the understanding and adoption of behaviors by the target audience, and use that information to evaluate past programs and to direct future programs. . Maintain records of public education and outreach activities. . Surnmarize activities in the Annual Report. Program implementation was required by February 16, 2009. 1.2 Current Activities The City of Federal Way SurFace Water Management Division (SWM) maintains an active Public Education and Outreach Program. SWM uses a variety of approaches to inform residents and businesses about stormwater pollution prevention, stewardship opportunities, capita� improvement projects, watershed planning, and maintenance activities. The program is consistently evolving and expanding to reach new audiences and cover additional pollution prevention and stormwater related topics. Staff documents and maintains records of all public education activities. A summary of the major public education activities in 2011 is provided below. • SWM produced three different quarterly newsletters (7he Waterlog, The Green Tide, and The Lakeview) which target different audiences: the general public, lake residents, and shoreline property owners. The newsletters covered a variety of topics on pollution prevention and general awareness of stormwater related issues. . Staff re-designed and updated the Surface Water Management web pages. . As a component of the Dumas Bay Saltwater Algae Grant, SWM developed several public education tools for residents within the Joes Creek and Lakota Creek watersheds including a website, educational mailings, a shoreline stewardship guide, and held a nutrient reduction workshop which focused on natural yard care, pet waste, and septic � system maintenance. Also as part of this grant, SWM hired an environmental consultant to conduct an environmental audit of the Twin Lakes Golf course. The consultant recommended BMPs that can help to reduce the golf course's impact on surface waters. Page 3 of 15 City of F� eral Way NPDES Phase Il Stormwa�er Management Program . Surface Water Management has several ongoing programs that encourage public involvement. The Stream Team and Curb Marker program receive many volunteers each year. In 2011 SWM hosted a number of additional volunteer activities including the Redondo Creek cleanup, BPA Trail cleanup, ivy and invasive species removal, and tree planting events. • SWM introduced a new public education program, Salmon in City Hall, in 2011. Staff raised several hundred salmon eggs on display in the public lobby of Federal Way City Hall. The display and educational materials highlight the relationship befinreen people's everyday activities at home, stormwater, and the health of salmon. In the Spring a salmon releasing event was held with students from a local preschool. • In the fall, Surface Water Management held a series of "Waterwise Workshops" for Federal Way residents, landscapers, and contractors. Five free workshops were offered on low impact development techniques, natural yard care, building rain gardens, composting, and rainwater harvesting. . The City operates a very successful "fish friendly" charity car wash program. The number of businesses and groups participating in this program consistently grows each year. Special kits, designed to divert wash water to the sanitary sewer system, are loaned out by the City at no cost. In 2011 these kits were checked out for 37 charity car wash events. • SWM developed a Fact Sheet on Snow & Ice Removal BMPs for private property and business owners in Federal Way. This document was mailed to over 600 property owners in November. . SWM staff translated selected stormwater educational materials in different languages including Korean, Russian, Chinese, Bulgarian, German, and Spanish to address diversity in the Federal Way community. • Staff worked closely with a consultant and property manager of a large business park in Federal Way to develop and implement a formal stormwater management and pollution prevention plan. SWM provided printed educational materials, marked all stormdrains on the property, and participated in tenant training. • The Surface Water Utility waives the stormwater fee for the Federal Way School District and in exchange the School District provides surface water related public education to its students as part of its curriculum. SWM staff has also helped teachers at a few local schools, who have access to a stream, implement a water quality monitoring component to their curriculum. Each spring SWM holds a stream clean up event for students in an environmental program at Nautilus Elementary. . The City's Solid Waste and Recycling Division (SWR) compliments many of the educational efforts of the Surface Water Management Division. SWR promotes household pollution prevention, proper disposal of chemicals, and proper handling of pet waste. SWR also provides Federal Way residents with information and options for Page 4 of 15 City of F�� ral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwa�'er Management Program disposal of used motor oil, leftover paint, and other liquids that pose a threat to surface water and the environment. The department also advertises the City's Spill Hotline number in a number of its publications. • SWM staff participates in a number of regional forums that focus on stormwater education: WRIA 9 Watershed Ecosystem Forum and Management Committee, Puget Sound Partnership Ecosystem Coordination Board, STORM, EcoNet, and the South King County Stormwater Outreach Group. The City of Federal Way also actively promotes the regional stormwater education campaign Puget Sound Starts Here. 1.3 Planned Activities Surface Water Management is planning to conduct the following Public Education and Outreach activities in 2012: . Surface Water Management will continue to maintain and update a comprehensive website that provides the public with information on the NPDES permit, pollution prevention, storm system maintenance, stewardship opportunities, and much more. . The Waterlog and The Lakeview newsletters will continue to be published quarterly to address topics on pollution prevention and general awareness of stormwater related issues. • The City will continue to encourage public involvement and stewardship through the Stream Team and Curb Marker programs. . Numerous volunteer events will take place in 2012 including stream cleanups, tree planting events, and invasive species removals from conservation properties. • The Salmon in City Hall project will continue annually. In 2012 staff plans to expand components of the educational display. A salmon releasing event will occur in the spring. . In 2012 SWM will help support Salmon in the Classroom programs in three Federal Way Schools. Support includes purchasing equipment, providing classroom stormwater presentations, and coordinating a releasing event. . SWM staff will coordinate with the Federal Way School District to improve stormwater education elements in their science curriculum. . Federal Way will continue to participate in regional forums focused on stormwater education and promote the Puget Sound Starts Here brand and logo using a variety of new approaches over the next year. Page 5 of 15 City of F�c�eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program SECTION 2- PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT & PARTICIPATION 2.1 Permit Requirement (S5.C.2) Create opportunities for public involvement through advisory councils, watershed committees, participation in developing rate structures, stewardship programs, environmental activities, or other similar activities. At a minimum, the public must be provided an opportunity to participate in the decision-making processes involving the development, implementation, and update of the SWMP. . Make the SWMP and Annual Report available to the public, including posting on the City's website. • Summarize activities in the Annual Report. The Public Participation Program was required February 16, 2008. 2.2 Current Activities The City of Federal Way encourages residents and interested parties to participate in the decision making processes involving the update and implementation of the City's Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). Opportunities for public participation in the development of the SWMP are available through the following venues: . The quarterly Surface Water Management (SWM) newsletter, "The Water Logn, is used to raise awareness of the Permit requirements, update the public on the development of the SWMP and solicit comments. . The City's Surface Water Management webpage provides a general description of the Permit, describes the progress on the development of the SWMP and displays the updated SWMP and the Annual Reports as they become available. Opportunity for public comment and participation is provided via e-mail. . The annual public meeting of the development, permitting and zoning stakeholders (i.e. engineers, architects, developers, business owners, utilities and public school representatives) is used to assess the City's permitting process as well as provide updates on NPDES requirements. . An opportunity for participation in the development of SWMP is available to City residents through Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) meetings. The LUTC reviews many of the programmatic and policy changes proposed under the SWMP and allows public comment on all of their agenda items. . City Council reviews and approves many of the programmatic and policy changes related to the SWMP. Public comments are accepted during all City Council meetings. Page 6 of 15 City of F�cl�ral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program 2.3 Planned Activities The City will continue to offer these opportunities for comment and involvement in the development of the Surface Water Management Plan. Public comments will be used as an adaptive management tool to evaluate permit compliance, the effectiveness of the SWMP, and set future priorities. SECTION 3— ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION & ELIMINATION 3.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.3) . Develop an ongoing program to detect and remove illicit connections, discharges and improper disposal including spills into the municipal stormwater system. . Develop a municipal storm sewer map that includes attributes listed in section S5.C.3.a. of the permit. . Adopt and implement an ordinance to prohibit non-stormwater discharges, spills, illicit connections, and illegal dumping into stormwater systems. . Publicize� a number for public reporting of spills and other illicit discharges. • Identify and prioritize areas likely to have illicit discharges. • Conduct a visual inspection of three high-priority water bodies and conduct an inspection of at least one each year thereafter. • Inform public employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste, and publicize a hotline phone number for the public to report spills, dumping, and illicit discharges. . Adopt and implement procedures for prograrn evaluation and assessment which includes spill tracking, inspection tracking, and feedback from public education efforts. . Provide training for municipal field staff on the identification and reporting of illicit discharges in the stormwater system. • Summarize activities in the Annual Report. The City was required to fully implement the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program no later than August 18, 2011. Page 7 of 15 City of F� eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwa�er Management Program 3.2 Current Activities The City of Federal Way maintains an active Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) program designed to identify and remove prohibited discharges and illicit connections to the City's stormwater system. The City has fully implemented all IDDE program requirements. . The City maintains a comprehensive map of its municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) which includes all known storm sewer outfalls, receiving waters, and municipal structural stormwater BMPs. The map is continually updated to reflect new connections and changes based on field verification. The map is available upon request. . The City implements and enforces Ordinance 09-619 in order to meet the requirements of the Permit. The ordinance effectively prohibits all of the categories of non- stormwater discha�ges listed in the Permit and includes escalating enforcement procedures and actions pursuant to those outlined in FWRC 16.45, 16.50, and 16.55. • The City identifies priority areas where illicit discharges are most likely to occur. The evaluation is based upon a prioritization of sub-watersheds using eight individual illicit discharge potential (IDP) screening factors such as land use, past complaints, and number of pollution generating sites. . Receiving waters in Federal Way are prioritized for visual inspection, and field assessments. Three priority water bodies (Joes Creek, Redondo Creek, and West Hylebos Creek) were completed in the summer of 2010. In the summer of 2011, staff completed a field assessment of Cold Creek. During the assessment, outfall locations were verified and screened for illicit discharges, and newly discovered outfalls were mapped. In 2011, the City formally implemented IDDE procedures regarding the characterization of the nature and environmental threat posed by illicit discharges, procedures for tracing the source of illicit discharges, and procedures for eliminating the source of discharges. The existing IDDE program includes notification of appropriate authorities, notification of property owners, technical assistance for eliminating the discharge, follow-up inspections, and escalating enforcement and legal actions if the discharge is not abated. Surface Water Management's existing Public Education and Outreach Program includes educational materials designed to prevent illicit discharges by educating business owners, employees, and the public on pollution prevention best management practices and waste disposal techniques. Educational materials are disseminated to targeted audiences on an ongoing basis. Many of these materials are described in Section 1 of the SWMP. . The City's Public Works Department main number (253-835-2700) is publicly listed for reporting spills and illicit discharges. After normal business hours, the public can report stormwater pollution to the city's call service at (800) 400-0749. The report is then be forwarded to on-call City staff. The phone numbers are publicized on the web, in newsletters, brochures, and many other educational materials. Page 8 of 15 City of F��eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program . Information regarding IDDE reports and complaints, follow-up inspections, and enforcement actions are carefully tracked and documented. • In 2011 staff completed a summary of feedback received from IDDE pubtic education efforts to be included in the Annual Report. • Training is provided to all field staff responsible for identification, investigation, termination, cleanup and reporting of illicit discharges. Training is also provided for staff who may observe an illicit discharge while perForming their normal job duties. Field staff from the following City departments have received training: Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Public Safety. 3.3 Planned Activities . The municipal storm sewer system map will continue to be updated as necessary and new information added as it becomes available. . Field assessment of at least one high priority water body will be completed annually. • City staff will continue to evaluate and improve the IDDE program based on experience, lessons learned, and feedback from public education efforts. . Follow-up training will be provided as needed to address changes in procedures, techniques or requirements. All training records (including course information and the staff trained) witl be documented and maintained. • SWM will explore additional ways to improve outreach and cooperation with business owners. SECTION 4 CONTROLLING RUNOFF FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES 4.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.4) • Adopt an ordinance that addresses runoff from new developments, redevelopment and construction sites. • Adopt minimum stormwater designs standards that are equivalent to the Department of Ecology's 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. • Implement a program to review plans, inspect construction sites, and take enforcement action against those failing to meet the required standards. • Include provisions to allow for non-structural preventative actions and source reduction practices such as Low Impact Development techniques. Page 9 of 15 City of F��eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program . Adopt an ordinance, maintenance standards, inspection procedures, and enforcement provisions to insure the long-term operation and maintenance of permanent stormwater control facilities. . Provide training for staff on new and revised regulations, standards, processes and procedures. . Provide copies of the "Notice of Intent for Construction Activity" and "Notice of Intent for Industrial Activity" to representatives of proposed new development and redevelopment. • Summarize activities in the Annual Report. The Construction Site Runoff Program was required to be fully implemented by February 16, 2010. 4.2 Current Activities The City of�Federal Way recognizes that construction site run-off is a major contributor to water quality degradation in the greater Puget Sound region. To address this issue and to better protect our natural waterways, the City's current construction site run-off program exceeds the minimum requirements of the Permit in many respects. Construction site run-off is reviewed and inspected for all construction projects, ranging from single family structures to large commercial developments. The City has adopted the 2009 King County SurFace Water Design Manual, effective February 16, 2010, which has been deemed an equivalent to the Washington State Department of Ecology's (DOE) 2005 Stormwater Manual. . The City's BMP selection and site planning process has been updated through the adoption of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (2009 KCSWDM). The authority to conduct inspections on new developments is granted during construction pursuant to an access agreement allowed under Federal Way City Code (FWRC) 19.25.080. Authority to conduct post construction inspection of private drainage facilities discharging to the City's storm system from new development is established through drainage covenants, conditions attached to the final permit, and through FWRC 16.10.065. . Non-structural preventive actions and source control improvements measures, such as LID, are currently allowed. Staff has completed a report on LID implementation that identifies obstacles to implementing certain LID techniques in Federal Way and suggests measures to address those barriers. . Four staff members obtained LID Certification through Washington State University's Extension program in spring of 2011. Page 10 of 15 City of F eral Way NPDES Phase II Storm�a�er Management Program • Prior to any clearing and grading activity on a construction site, a Pre-construction Inspection is conducted with the contractor to review initial erosion control requirements and the inspection process. . A minimum of two erosion control inspections are conducted by City inspection staff to ensure erosion control measures are being implemented and maintained throughout construction of the project. . A final erosion control inspection is conducted prior to final building permit approval of single-family, multi-family and commercial construction. . The ability to conduct enforcement of erosion control and stormwater requirements is provided within the City's existing development review and inspection process (FWRC 1.15.010 through 1.15.100 and International Building Code R113 and R114). • Covenants are attached to all new developments with stormwater detention and flow control facilities at the time of final approval. The covenant allows access for inspection and requires long term operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities (FWRC 16.36.020 and 16.35.030). . Maintenance standards for private stormwater systems are established in Appendix A of the 2009 King County SurFace Water Design Manual. . Developments containing storm systems are encouraged to dedicate these stormwater facilities to the City at the time of final approval. The developer is required to maintain a two-year maintenance bond to ensure maintenance of these facilities during the first two years (most often the heaviest construction period) following final approval. Staff conducts inspections of these facilities during this period to enforce compliance with maintenance standards. The City takes over operation and maintenance of these facilities once the bond is released. . Records of inspections, violations, and enforcement activities are tracked through a database permit tracking system. NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit Focus Sheets are available at the City's Permit Center. Pursuant to a communication from the Department of Ecology, these focus sheets may be made available to the public in lieu of the application (Notice of Intent). . All staff responsible for implementing the program to control run-off from construction sites are trained to conduct these activities. 4.3 Planned Activities The requirements in section S5.C4 of the Permit have been met and the Construction Run-off Control Program has been fully implemented. The City will continue to carry out all related activities to ensure compliance with the Permit. Page 11 of 15 City of F�d�ral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program . The program is continuously being reviewed and refined to ensure consistent application of the most current adopted regulations. Implementation of all permit requirements in S5.C.4 will continue. . The City will continue to provide training as necessary. SECTION 5 POLLUTION PREVENTION, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 5.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.5) . Establish maintenance standards that are as protective, or more protective, as those specified in the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. . Perform inspections of municipally owned or operated water quality treatment and flow control facilities and catch basins at the frequencies specified by the permit. . Maintain records of inspections and maintenance or repair activities. • Implement practices to reduce stormwater impacts associated with maintenance operations for streets, parking lots, roads or highways owned or maintained by the City. . Implement practices to reduce pollutants in runoff from all lands owned and maintained by the City. . Develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for all heavy equipment maintenance or storage yards owned or operated by the City. . Develop and implement an ongoing training program for City staff whose job functions may impact stormwater quality. . Summarize activities in the Annual Fteport. All elements of the Operations and Maintenance Program were required by February 16, 2010. 5.2 Current Activities The City of Federal Way maintains a proactive and effective maintenance program of the City's drainage infrastructure, which includes catch basins, pipes, open channels, as well as residential and regional retention/detention facilities. . The City adopted the maintenance standards found in Appendix A of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Page 12 of 15 City of F��eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program • Regular maintenance of SWM's facilities is conducted by SWM Maintenance staff consistent with the adopted standards to ensure stormwater facilities are functioning properly. • All known municipally owned or operated stormwater treatment and flow control facilities are inspected and maintained at a minimum, annually. All known City owned or operated stormwater retention/detention ponds are currently inspected and maintained twice a year. Staff inspects at least 95% of the structures annually. • SWM maintains a"Hot Spot" list of locations vulnerable to surface water related problems during major storm events. Staff inspects these locations after all major storms to ensure the systems are functioning properly, and to determine/conduct any maintenance or repair needs. . Sediment levels in catch basins (CBs) are evaluated on a circuit basis annually. When sediment levels equal or exceed 50% of the sump capacity on average in the sampling circuit, all CBs and inlet structures in that circuit are cleaned. Catch basins in high use areas, such as main arterials, are cleaned throughout the City each year. . In 2010, SWM developed and implemented a comprehensive Conditional Assessment Program as a tool to proactively manage the MS4 to prevent flooding, drainage problems and water quality problems. The camera inspection program supports several NPDES related activities (on-going comprehensive mapping of the MS4, evaluation of Best Management Practices, improving the ability to trace spills and identify illicit connections to the stormwater system). SWM has implemented practices and procedures that reduce stormwater impacts associated with runoff from streets, parking lots, roads and highways owned or maintained by the City, as well as road maintenance activities conducted by the City. Activities addressed include: pipe and culvert cleaning, ditch maintenance, street cleaning, road repair and resurfacing, snow and ice control, utility installation, pavement striping, maintaining roadside areas and vegetation, and dust control. Staff has modified policies and procedures regarding the maintenance and operation of lands owned or maintained by the City in an effort to reduce the discharge of stormwater pollutants. Policies and procedures that have been addressed include: application of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, sediment and erosion control, landscape maintenance, vegetation disposal, and cleaning and maintenance of building exteriors. . The City has an on-going training program for employees whose job functions may impact water quality. The program addresses the importance of protecting water quality, the requirements of the Permit, operations and maintenance standards, inspection procedures, BMP selection, and ways to perform their job activities to prevent or minimize impacts to water quality. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the City's heavy equipment maintenance and storage yard has been implemented. The SWPPP includes periodic visual inspections of the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs. Page 13 of 15 City of F� eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwa er Management Program • Records of inspections and maintenance or repair activities are kept in accordance with the S9 Reporting Requirements of the Permit. 5.3 Planned Activities • City will complete a 10 year catch basin monitoring program upon which our circuit cleaning schedule is based. • Surface Water Management will continue the Conditional Assessment Program and use the information to improve the City's ability to proactively and effectively maintain the MS4. • Staff will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of selected pollution prevention BMPs and will continue to ensure full implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. • The City will provide follow-up training as needed to address changes in procedures, techniques or requirements. The City will track and maintain records of training provided. SECTION 6 MONITORING 6.1 Permit Requirements (S8.C) . Prepare for future comprehensive long-term monitoring of both stormwater and of Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) effectiveness. . Report any stormwater monitoring or studies currently being conducted by the City. • Assess the appropriateness of the best management practices identified for each component of the SWMP, and identify any changes that are made or are anticipated to be made. . 6.2 Current Activities . The City has identified two outfalls (representing commercial and high-density residential land uses) where permanent sampling stations could be established in the future. . Two suitable questions concerning SWMP effectiveness have been developed, and monitoring methods have been identified to attempt to answer these questions. . A summary of current monitoring activities by the City has been provided in the Annual Report. Page 14 of 15 City of F� eral Way NPDES Phase II Stormwa er Management Program 6.3 Planned Activities There are no additional monitoring requirements to be implemented in 2012. New monitoring requirements are expected in the next permit cycle. The City will begin preparing for additional monitoring in the future. • City will continue its ongoing monitoring of the North Fork of the West Branch of the Hylebos Creek in support of the Regional Pond expansion project scheduled for 2013.

Those borrowing the car wash kits seem to understand that using the kits are important for protecting water quality 1(indicated by aswers written on the checkout form). Increasing demand for the car wash kits required SWM to purchase 2 additional kits, bringing the total to 5 available kits for checkout. We have also learned that training is essential to ensure proper use and familiarity with the car wash site is also important. Spectrum Bussiness Park- In an effort to address illicit discharges in this bussiness complex, the property manager requested our stormwater public education materials be translated into several languages for the tenants (Bulgarian, Russian, Germanr, Korean, and Spanish). Surface Water 2 Management staff worked very closely with the property manager to implement several pollution prevention strategies including posting simple visual posters, marking all storm drains on site, providing spill kits, and developing a training DVD. It appears these efforts have improved stormwater pollution issues on site. The Commons Mall- This was another situation where language seemed to be a barrier to understanding and preventing stormwater related issues associated with tenants of the food court. 3 SWM staff worked with mall management to identify the need for translated materials and provided visual posters and translated stormwater public education materials in Chinese, Korean, and Spanish. Surface Water Management provided a series of five stormwater related workshops for Federal Way residents this fall. Topics included: Low Impact Development, Natural Yard Care, 4 Composting and Worm Bins, Rain Gardens, and Rainwater Harvesting. It was clear the workshops were a public education success. All five workshops were highly attended and staff received significant positive feedback from attendees (verbal, phone calls, and emails). Salmon in City Hall Stormwater Educational Display- In 2011 SWM set up an educational display in the lobby of City Hall. The display includes an aqaurium for rearing salmon, a scale 5 model neighborhood with common examples of stormwater pollution, and a tri fold display with stormwater pollution prevention information. The project was very well received among the public visiting City Hall, the media, and city staff. The project was mentioned in local newspapers and on King 5 news. E-Subscribe Lists- SWM staff uses an electronic email system to disseminate a variety of 6 stormwater public education materials. Over 500 residents have voluntarily signed up to receive these emails. 62 COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 20, 2012 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL ITEM #: SU&TECT: 2012 Municipal Stormwater Grant of Regional Significance - Acceptance POLICY QUESTION Should Council authorize Surface Water Management to proceed forward with the "Storming the Sound with Salmon" project and accept the Ecology GROSS grant award upon finalization of the grant agreement?

The GROSS grant is competitive and is only available to cities, towns and counties covered by a municipal stormwater permit. The maximum amount for each grant is $300,000 and no matching funds are required. Following Council approval on January 17, 2012, Surface Water Management submitted a grant application for the development of a regional program intended to improve stormwater education and awareness among elementary students. The proposed program will be designed to allow Phase I and II NPDES jurisdictions to meet expanded education and outreach requirements proposed in the draft permit scheduled to go into effect in 2013. On February 23, 2012, Ecology issued the final offer list for the GROSS Grant, which included funding for the subject project in the amount of $73,061.00. Staff is requesting Council authorization to accept the grant upon completion of the final grant agreement. , 64 COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 20, 2012 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL ITEM #: AGENDA BILL SUBJECT: HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS POLICY DEVELOPMENT POLICY QUESTION Should the City Council direct staff to develop Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments that encourage and support access to healthy food in Federal Way as part of the annual comprehensive plan and zoning code update process?

POLICY QUESTION Should the City Council direct staff to develop Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments that encourage and support access to healthy food in Federal Way as part of the annual comprehensive plan and zoning code update process? B. BACKGROUND CPPW Grant Program The City of Federal Way was awarded a Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant from Public Health Seattle-King County in the summer of 2010. The CPPW grant covers activities that develop and support policy, planning and programmatic changes in local communities that address healthy eating and active living (HEAL). 'These HEAL grants as they are referred to, funded the preparation of Federal Way's first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan; a Neighborhood Subaxea Plan for the Twin Lakes Commercial District; and policy development that supports access to healthy food. Staff presented the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and the Subarea Plan to the LUTC in previous meetings. This report addresses the third and final element of the CPPW grant-funded activities that staff is presenting to the City Council for action. As part of the CPPW Grant program, a report "Food Landscape in Federal Way, Washington" was prepared by Urban Food Link and the iJW Northwest Center for Livable Communities (The Food Access Team). In addition, the Food Access Team prepared a memorandum outlining policy and planning recommendations to increase access to healthy food in Federal Way. The CPPW grant requires that staff present the "Food Landscape" report and the policy and strategy recommendations to the City Council and request council action on the recommendations during the grant period. City Council Committee Staff Report Food Access Policy Development Meeting Date: Mazch 5, 2012 Page 1 66 Regional Meeting with the Food Access Team The Food Access Team hosted a regional workshop on November 17, 2011. Planning Division staff, Federal Way elected and appointed officials, Federal Way Farmers Market representatives, and Federal Way Community Gardens board members attended this workshop and participated in the discussion along with representatives from the cities of Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac. At this workshop, there was common interest in supporting and encouraging the development of community gardens and farmers' markets — especially in areas where they can benefit populations who have difficulty accessing and/or affording healthy food. There was also discussion about urban agriculture in general. Urban agriculture is gaining in popularity as more people are interested in growing food for either personal consumption or as a cottage business. At the workshop, we learned of the Cottage Food Operations bill (SB 5748) that was passed in 2011 and allows for the production of food products in home kitchens. Participants also discussed how existing local comprehensive plans and development regulations are often silent on these types of land uses and that can sometimes make it difficult for new produce markets and gardens to get started in a community. Presentation of the Food Landscape Report to the Federal Way Planning Commassion Staff presented the Food Landscape report and recommendations for policy and planning strategies that support access to healthy food to the Planning Commission on December 7, 2011. The presentation was informational and no action was requested of the Planning Commission at that time. If the City Council approves the proposed resolution directing staff to prepare draft comprehensive plan and zoning code amendments, these items will be added to the 2012 Planning Commission work program. Annual Comprehensave Pdan Update Process Planning Division staff considers amendments to the comprehensive plan on an annual basis as authorized by the Growth Management Act. Staff would like to consider the recommendations contained in E�ibit B to the draft resolution that could be implemented through new or amended land use policies in the comprehensive plan during a future plan update. Community and Economic Development-Planning Division Annual Work Program Each year, the Planning Division prepares an annual work program that considers the annual comprehensive plan update process, as well as amendments to Title 19 of the Federal Way Revised Code "Zoning and Development Code. Staff would like to consider the recommendations contained in E�ibit B to the draft resolution that could be implemented through amendments to the Zoning and Development Code as part of our annual work program.

SUMMARY OF FOOD LANDSCAPE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Food Landscape report prepared for the City of Federal Way looks at three general components of healthy food access: • Location and types of food retailers • Proximity of food retailers to residential areas and schools • Socio-economics of food choice (affordability of food) City Council Committee StaffReport Food Access Policy Development Meeting Date: March 5, 2012 Page 2 67 Key Findings The report includes the following key findings: • We have higher than King County average rates of obesity in Federal Way • Over 87 percent of our land area is greater than one-half mile� from a supermarket • There are low income areas in Federal Way that are greater than one-half mile from a supermarket • There are almost four times as many fast food and convenience stores as there are healthy food stores in Federal Way • Many fast food and convenience stores are located near our schools • In 2008, there were over 14,100 residents enrolled in SNAP, the federal food stamp program (this number is likely higher today due to the economic downturn) Additional Analysis The report recommends some avenues for further analysis including looking at transit facility locations and schedules in relationship to food retailers, and exploring opportunities for improving access to healthy foods through community-based resources such as community gardens, school programs, food banks, and nutrition and education programs. Federal Way Citizens are Working to Improve Access to Healthy Food Federal Way citizens are already implementing some of the community-based recommendations mentioned in the Food Access report through the work of the Federal Way Community Gardens Foundation. The Community Gardens Foundation currently operates two large community gardens at the Federal Way Senior Center and Truman High School, is assisting Federal Way elementary schools implementing educational gardens, and is also mentoring other groups who are working to establish community gardens based on the successful models employed at the Senior Center and Truman High School. Food produced at the large gardens is distributed to senior citizens, is utilized in senior nutrition programs, and also is donated to the local food bank. The school gardens serve an important educational role and also encourage kids to eat healthier foods. Food Access Team Recommendations for Federal Way: The Food Access Team prepared a memorandum as a follow up to the Food Landscape report that identifies some specific recommendations for the City of Federal Way to consider. Many of the recommendations can be considered in conjunction with the annual Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code update processes undertaken by Planning Division staff. The following are the twelve recommendations contained in the memorandum (E�ibit B to the draft Resolution). 1. Establish farmers' market policy 2. Ensure farmers' market viability 3. Establish community garden policy 4. Facilitate community gardening on private, vacant land 5. Establish urban agriculture policy 6. Support e�sting and potential healthy food retailers near residential areas 7. Explore mobile vending opportunities 8. Prioritize transit and pedestrian access to food retail 9. Facilitate small retailers' knowledge of public health permits 10. Create a healthy school food zone 1 One-half mile is typically considered the furthest a person will waik to a local store. 2 A recent code amendment regarding temporary uses addresses this item.

Box 99056, Seattle, WA 98139 The Food Landscape in Federal Way, WA www.urbanfoodlink.com Page 2 of 21 76 �-��u, � The Food Landscape in Federal Way, Washington The following assessment was conducted to gain an understanding of the City of Federal Way's existing food environment. As the City of Federal Way examines and develops local policies, regulations and programs related to food access, this report can be used to further identify areas of community need and/or interest. The following GIS (geographic information system) assessment was conducted to gain an understanding of where food retailers (e.g., supermarkets, convenience stores, farmers markets) are located in the community, identify areas where residents have limited access to healthy food options, and consider the role of socio-economic characteristics that influence how and where a person or household purchases food. De�nition of Food Access: Ensuring that "healthy, high-quality, culturally appropriate options [are] available and affordable wherever people reach for food and drinks—in supermarkets, corner stores, restaurants, childcare centers, schools, after-school programs, healthcare facilities, and workplates." Linda Shak, Leslie Mikkelsen, and Sana Chehimi Recipes for Chanpe: Healthy Food in Every Community (Z010) Policy tools and strategies for addressing the food � access issues identified in this assessment are available in the University of Washington Northwest Center for Livable Communities' Food Access Planning and Policy Guide. For consistency, this assessment uses the same definitions and refers the Food Access Planning and Policy Guide when appropriate. This assessment looks at three general components of healthy food access: • Location and types of food retailers • Proximity of food retailers to residential areas and schools • Socio-economics of food choice At the end of this report, you will find recommendations for conducting additional analyses that go beyond the elements addressed in this baseline assessment. Urban Food Link will work with City of Federal Way, SvR Design Company, the Northwest Center for Livable Communities, and Collins Woerman to review the key findings in this assessment to evaluate appropriate policy recommendations that allow for increased healthy food options. The Food Landscape in Federal Way, WA 77 Page 3 of 21 _�>_'�I � �; I � A note about the maps: The maps included in this report, with exception of Maps 1 and 2, were specifically developed for each of the King County cities that received a Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPVI� Healthy Eating Active Living grant from Public Health - Seattle & King County (PHSKC). Due to data availability and limitations as well as the funding available for assessment, it is worth noting several points: • Each of the CPPW-funded cities is receiving the same set of maps. Maps 3-6 are zoomed to the city level and Maps 7-8 are provided at the county level. Food retailers were identified by the PHSKC public health permit database from March 2011. This database was then cross-referenced with the state Department of Social and Health Services' database of establishments accepting food stamps. Businesses were then categorized by type of food retailer. Food retailer definitions are based on classifications by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food and Nutrition Service, the federal agency overseeing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP), commonly known as the food stamp program. In accordance with research done by the Seattle Children's Research Institute, "fast food restaurant" is defined as an establishment in which food is paid for before it is served and there is no waiter service. Fast food restaurants were identified by locating known national or regional chains and by conducting online research to identify local, independently-owned fast food restaurants. The maps display supermarkets for all of King County; however, other food retailers (i.e. convenience stores, small grocery stores) are provided only at the city level due to the extensive data processing required. The American Community Survey 2009 and 2010 U.S. Census data will be released in the coming months (Summer 2011). Maps such as Map 6 should be updated to provide a more accurate portrayal of the community demographics and its relation to the food landscape. The assessment provides recommendations of socio-economic characteristics that are commonly associated with food insecurity and access. The maps will be provided to the cities as jpgs and pdfs. Each city will also receive the data used in the assessment so they can make modifications and do further analysis. Urban Food Link and SvR Design will work with each city determine an appropriate timeline for providing the data. rovided for each cit include: aq # Title 1 Adult Obesity by Health Planning Area, King County, Washington, 5-year Average, 1994-1998 2 Adult Obesity by Health Planning Area, King County, Washington, 5-year Average, 2004-2008 3 Location of Food Retailers and Current Land Use 4 Proximity to Supermarkets (%, %: and 1 mile watking distances) 5 Poverty Rates and Location of Food Retailers 6 Proximity of Schools to Food Retailers (% and % mile walking distances) 7 #of SNAP (food stamp) Recipients in 2008 by Census Tract in King County, WA 8 # of WIC Clients in June 2010 bv Zip Code and WIC Authorized Retailers in King County, WA 78 -� � � Key Findings of Federal Way's Food Landscape This assessment of the social, economic and physical dimensions of the Federal Way's food landscape reveals several key findings: Federal Way has the county's third highest adult obesity rate, 28.1%—significantly higher compared to King County's rate of 19.8%. Diabetes prevalence among adults over age of 18 is 7.5%, which is similar to the County's rate of 5.4%. (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; Public Health—Seattle & King County (2004-2008)). Over 87% of the city's land base is more than one half mile from a supermarket. Due to the current urban form, where retailers cluster primarily along Pacific Highway commercial corridor and a couple small commercial areas in the city, residents not living near these areas have to travel more than one half mile to a supermarket from their home. There are low-income areas in Federal Way that are not within feasible walking distance of a supermarket (i.e., more than one half mile). They include: the residential area west of Interstate-5 and east of Steel Lake and Military Road (including the Camelot Lots mobile home park), the multi-family residential east of Pacific Highway and southwest of South Star Lake Road, and the residential area near the now- closed Metropolitan Market (Dash Point Road and 312th Street SV1�. • There are nearly four times as many fast food restaurants and convenience stores to the number of supermarkets, small grocery stores and produce vendors combined. • There are 24 fast food restaurants and 15 convenience stores within one half mile of schools within the city limits. • In 2008 there were over 14,100 residents enrolled in the SNAP, the federal food stamp program. This number has likely increased with the economic downturn of the past several years. As demonstrated in the maps that follow, the city's built environment—the physical form of the city which includes the street and land use patterns—influences where food resources are located and how residents are able to access them. As a result, some people can more easily access healthy food, while other people are required to travel further by foot, bike, bus or car to reach food, particularly fresh food. The key findings above and the supporting information that follows in this assessment can help to guide community members and decision makers, grounding the development of policy that seeks to address these issues. The Food Landscape in Federal Way, WA 79 Page 5 of 21 _>��'�� '' � Health in the City of Federal Way and King County While our health is influenced by personal decisions, it is also shaped by the places we live, work and play. Unfortunately, not all King County residents have the same food options available that allow them to make healthy choices. In some areas, the closest food retailers are convenience stores and fast foods that typically do not offer healthy foods. Or, the transit lines and sidewalks provide poor street connections between supermarkets and residential areas. In King County there has been an overall increase of obesity and chronic diseases in past decade; some areas in the county have had a higher increase than others. When compared to the 15 most populous metropolitan counties, King County's health inequities are among the worst in the nation. According to Public Health— Seattle & King County:i • 54% of King County adults are overweight or obese, 20% are obese, and 5.4% have been diagnosed with diabetes. • Diabetes prevalence and mortality rates for African Americans in King County are among the highest in the nation—the third highest diabetes rate (12%) among the 151argest U.S. metropolitan counties. • 85% of adolescents in grades 8, 10, and 12 do not meet physical activity recommendations. • Obesity is at least twice as high among high school students who are African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Hispanic/Latino, or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander compared to white high school students. According to the health planning area (HPA) in which Federal Way is located has the county's third highest adult obesity rate, 28.1%—significantly higher compared to King County's rate of 19.8%. In addition, 63.2% of adults are overweight or obese. Diabetes prevalence among adults over age of 18 is 7.5%, which is similar to King County's rate of 5.4%. Maps 1 and 2 provide a comparison of adult obesity rates in King County from 1994-1998 to 2004-2008 averages.3 As noted in the Food Access Planning and Policy Guide and supported by national research, in communities where healthy food options like fresh fruits and vegetables are available, residents have better diets and lower rates of obesity and diet-related chronic disease. It is critical to understand where and what types of foods are available within a community in order to improve the options available to residents. 1 Behaviorai Risk Factor Surveillance System; Pubiic Health—Seattle & King County (2004-2008).

In the City of Federal Way, there are the following types of food businesses: 4 Business Type # Convenience stores 27 Farmers market 1 Fast food restaurants 71 Fruit and vegetable stand 2 Mobile vendors 16 Restaurants 226 Small grocery' 10 Specialty (i.e., bakery) 11 Supermarket 13 Map 3 displays the food retailers in the city where people can purchase food for their daily food intake. This category includes businesses in which people primarily purchase food, often to be prepared, to meet their daily food needs. It does not include sit-down restaurants. Food retailers in Federal Way are primarily located along the Pacific Highway corridor —including eight of the thirteen supermarkets. The other supermarkets are located southwest of Pacific Highway corridor at SW Campus Drive by the 21St Avenue Southwest and 1� Avenue South intersection. There is also a cluster of smaller retailers (convenience stores and fast food restaurants) by city's southern border at 16th Avenue Southwest and 356th Street Southwest. In the northwest part of the city there are only a handful of convenience stores. 4 Based on establishments with a public health permit (Public Health — Seattle & King County; March 2011). See box "A note about the maps"�on page 3. 5 "Fast food restaurant" is defined as an establishment in which food is paid for before it is served, there is no waiter service and offers a complete meal. Brian Saelens, Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development. "Food Enumeration Guidelines" (unpublished document, received April 21, 2011), Microsoft Word file. 6 Primarily businesses with waiter service but also includes coffee shops, ice cream shops, cafes, bars, taverns and eating establishments in hotels, casinos and clubs such as golf courses. Establishments on corporate campuses are included as well. ' A small grocery store sells primarily staple foods and annual foods sales are below $2 million.

Land use categories based on American Planning Association's Land Based Classification Standards for function. While Map 3 shows the location of food retailers, it is also important to consider how much easier it is for residents to buy less healthy food options rather than healthy options. This important measure of food choice considers the ratio of food retailers that offer no, very minimal options of, fresh fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods compared to those retailers in which fruits and vegetables are readily available. A Retail Food Environment Index (RFEI) compares the relative amount of these two categories by dividing the total number of fast food restaurants and convenience stores in an area by the total number of supermarkets, small grocery stores and produce vendors (produce stands and farmers markets) in that same area.e The resulting number describes how much easier it is for residents to find and purchase food at retailers selling less healthy options than it is to do the same thing at retailers selling healthy food choices. RFE1= Fast food restaurants + Convenience stores Supermarkets + Grocery stores + Fruit/vegetable stands + Farmers markets In the City of Federal Way there are nearly four times as many fast food restaurants and convenience stores to the number of supermarkets, small grocery stores and produce vendors combined. The calculation below shows that there are 98 establishments with very limited healthy options compared to 26 establishments that have healthy options available. City of Federal Way RFEI = 3.77 71 Fast food restaurants + 27 Convenience stores 13 Supermarkets +10 Grocery stores + 2 Fruit/vegetable stands + 1 Farmers markets $ Businesses categorized according to public health permit classifications and USDA's categorization of businesses accepting food stamps. The Food landscape in Federal Way, WA Page 10 of 21 84 . ..� . A Proximity of Food Retailers to Residential Areas and Schools The following set of maps show where food retailers are located in relation to residential areas, schools and other land uses. Map 4 shows areas that are within feasible walldng distances from a supermarket; areas outside of the one half mile buffer are not considered to be within reasonable walldng distance to supermarkets. Supermarkets (i.e., full service stores with annual food sales of more than $2 million) were used as a proxy since they typically have a wide range of affordable and nutritious foods.lo Proximity of Food Retailers to Residential Areas Proximity of where residents live to supermarkets alone do not determine if an area has low food access. In recent years the term "food desert" has become an increasingly common way to describe areas that do not have easy access to supermarkets (i.e., within wall�ng distance in cities or a reasonable driving distance in rural areas) and are in low- income communities. ll.lz While Map 4 identifies areas within feasible walking distances from supermarkets, Map 5 then identifies low-income areas using 2000 U.S. Census data. Areas that have higher poverty rates (as of 1999) and that fall outside of the one half mile buffer are considered areas with low food access. Since the 2010 U.S. Census and the recent American Community Survey data were not available at the time of this assessment, it is highly recommended that maps are updated to reflect the current state of the community. Over 87% of the city's land base is more than one half mile from a supermarket. In Federal Way the areas not within a feasible walking distance (more than one half mile) of a 9 While some food desert studies have used one mile as a measure for feasible walking distance, we believe the distance is too far in considering the groceries one wouid carry from a store. The planning field often uses a 10 minute walk or quarter to half mile as a reasonable walking distance as acceptable. The buffer is determined by the street network rather than a Euclidean or "bird's eye" distance from a supermarket. lo Future mapping analysis may consider other healthy retail options such as small grocery stores, farmers markets and produce stands. 11 Sarah Treuhaft and Allison Karpyn.

Available at: hktp://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications/AP/AP036/. 13 Various measures have been used to define low-income areas in food desert studies. The USDA uses a poverty rate of 40 percent or higher of an area with people living below 200�0 of the federai poverty level. The federal Healthy Food Finance Initiative, a partnership between the Treasury Department, Health and Human Services, and the USDA, uses 20�0 or above. Available at http�//wwwi ers usda.gov/data/fooddesert/about.html#Defined. l4 In addition to poverty rates, population density should be considered to determine "low access" areas. While some areas may have high poverty rates, there may be areas with low population density (e.g. industrial areas and airports) in which identifying the area as "low access" would be misleading. The Healthy Food Finance Initiative applies the following density measure for a community to qualify as "low access:" at least 500 people and/or at least 33 percent of the census tract's population must reside more than one mile from a supermarket or large grocery store (for rural census tracts, the distance is more than 10 miles). The Food Landscape in Federal Way, WA Page 11 of 21 85 � supermarket include the residential areas from the city's north to south borders between the Pacific Highway and 21St Avenue Southwest as well as the area west of 21St Avenue Southwest to the shoreline. In addition the neighborhoods north of Steel Lake and east of North Lake are not within feasible walking distance of a supermarket. There are several low-income areas in Federal Way that are not within feasible walking distance of a supermarket. This includes the residential area near 320th St. S between of 1St Ave. S and 8th Ave. S, which includes both single and multi-family housing with a 20% overall poverty rate. In addition, the multi-family residential area (with a 20% poverty rate) by Twin Lakes Elementary at 47� Ave. SW and 320th St. S is also more than one mile from a supermarket. Its closest food retailer is a Chevron gas station. Of particular note are three low-food access areas that have poverty rates above 40%: the residential area west of Interstate 5 and to the east of Steel Lake and Military Rd. is not within feasible distance of a supermarket or any other food retailer such as a convenience store and limited transit access. This area includes the Camelot Lots mobile home park. In addition, the multi-family residential east of Pacific Highway and southwest of South Star Lake Rd. lacks adequate access. Finally, the residential area near the now-closed Metropolitan Market (Dash Point Rd. and 312th St. SV1� no longer has a nearby supermarket within one half mile. This initial analysis focuses on the more common factors that impact residents' access to food and does not does not consider vehicle ownership, public transit availability, geography (e.g., hills), street/sidewalk network and conditions, and other healthy food resources that influences a person's physical access to healthy foods. Proximity of Food Retailers to Schools In Map 6, a one half mile buffer was used around schools to identify areas where convenience stores and fast food restaurants are within walking distances of schools. When located within a few blocks of schools, these types of food retailers, who sell a larger proportion of low-nutrient foods, may contribute significantly to poor snacking and overall energy and caloric intake of youth.lb In Federal Way there are 24 fast food restaurants and 15 convenience stores located within one half mile of a school. Several schools that have four or more convenience stores and/or fast food restaurants within one half mile include Harry S. Truman High School, Federal Way High School and Federal Way Public Academy. Of particular note, Federal Way Public Academy has five fast food restaurants nearby. ls Due to data being available only for King County, supermarkets in Pierce County are not shown and, therefore, areas along the south border may inaccurately appear to not be within a feasible walking distance of supermarket. 16 Kelley E.

Economics of Food Another factor influencing healthy food access is the cost and/or affordability of food. In King County, many households report that they experience a lack of access at all times to enough food for all household members to lead an active, healthy life, referred to as food insecurity.l� In King County, approximately 13.4% of residents are food insecure (the state rate is 14.8% and the national rate is 16.6%) and the average cost of a meal is $2.77 (the state rate is $2.59 and the national rate is $2.54).ls There are two federal food assistance programs available to assist individuals and households who are food insecure. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, commonly referred to as food stamps) and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program assist low-income families and their children to purchase food through an electronic benefits transfer (EB'I� card or a WIC check Stores licensed to accept SNAP and WIC are reimbursed fully for customer purchases using these payment methods. Currently there are 53 retailers in Federal Way licensed to accept food stamps and nine authorized to accept WIC (Maps 1-6 identify locations that accept SNAP and WIC). 20 In 2008 there were over 14,100 people enrolled in the food stamp program (SNAP) residing in the census tracts located within, or partially within, Federal Way (see Map 7).zi These numbers reflect only the number of resident enrolled in the federal food assistance programs and not total number of residents who may be eligible. Food businesses' sales play an important role in a city's daily commerce. The variety and type of food establishments available in a jurisdiction could lead to potential sales, or leakage, spent outside of Federal Way. Food purchased for at-home and away from home consumption is a significant portion of Federal Way residents' annual expenditures. Based on 2002 Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Surveys and 2000 U.S. Census data, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Employment and Training Institute (ETI) estimated that residents spent 38% of their annual expenditures on food purchased for preparation, or "at home," and 15% on food away from home, or "eating out" (see Table A).zz 17 M.

Available at http•/ifeedin�america or�/hunger-in-america/hun�er- studies/map-the-meal-Qap.aspx. 19 The methodology ftir determining the cost of the meal is based on the USDA Thrifty Food Plan which outlines a "market basket" of food items meeting a person's basic dietary, nutritional needs for a week. 20 In February 2011 there were 175 WIC authorized retailers in King County. 21 Washington State Department of Social and Human Services (2008).
