VIA: Cary M. Roe, P.E., Director of Parks, Public Works, and Emergency Managemerrt
FROM: Ray Gross, C.E.M., Deputy Emergency Manager
SUBJECT: Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Award
BACKGROUND:
The City of Federal Way Emergency Management Division has applied for the 2012 Emergency
Management Performance Grant (EMPG). The purpose of the EMPG is to assist witn the
enhancement and sustainment of emergency management programs. Activities conducted using
EMPG funding should relate directly to the four elements of all-hazards emergency
management: response, recovery, mitigation and preparedness. Washington State Emergency
Management Division passes-through federal funding to eligible local emergency management
agencies.
The EMPG program requires a 50% mafch from the local jurisdiction and the total award amount
is based on the local Emergency Management Agency's operating budget. The City of Federal
Way has been awarded $37,154 and has $37,154 in matching funds. The performance period of
the 2012 EMPG is from June l, 2012 through August 31, 2013.
T'he City of Federal �ay Emergency Management Division would like to use the awarded
EMPG funds to continue funding of the Emergency Management Specialist position in the year
2412 and 2013. Funding this position is vital to keeping the Community Emergency Response
Team training and the Neighborhood Emergency Team program at current levels of
performance. EMPG funds would also be used to help continue funding of the mass notification
system CodeRed.

ATTACHMENT #1
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT PROVISIONS AND WORKSHEET
For Compliance With The
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-282) (FFATA)
The Federai Funding Accountability and Transparency Act {FFATA) was signed on September
26, 2006. The �'FATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial
assistance and expenditures) be made availab(e to the public via a single, searchab(e website.
Federal awards include grants, subgrants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements and other forms
of financial assistance as well as contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, task orders, and
delivery orders. The legislation does not require inclusion of individual transactions below
$25,000 or credit card transactions before October 1, 2048. However, if an award is initially
below this amount yet later increased, the act is triggered. Due to this variability in comptiance
Subrecipients are required by the Military Department to be familiar with the FFATA
requirements and complete this Worksheet for each contract for the State's submission in to the
FFATA portaL
ADDITIONAL PROVlSIONS
A. This contract (subaward) is supported by federal funds, requiring compliance with the Federal
Funciing Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA or the Transparency Act) and Office of
Management and Budget Guidance (OMB). Public Law 109-282 as amended by section 620�(a)
of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. b101 note). By entering into this contract, contractor
agrees to provide all applicab(e reporting information to the Washington Military Department
(WMD) required by FFATA and OMB Guidance.
B. The FFATA requires the OMB to establish a pubiicly available online database
(USASpending.gov) containing information about entities that are awarded Federal grants, (oans,
and contracts. As required by FFATA and OMB Guidance, certain information on the first-tier
subawards related to Federal contracts and grants, and the executive compensation of awardees,
must be made publiciy available.
C. For new Federai grants beginning October 1, 2010, if the initial subaward is equal to or
greater than $25,000, reporting of the subaward and executive compensation information is
required_ If the initial subaward is below $25,000 but subsequent grant modifications result in a
total subaward equal to or over $25,000, the subaward will be subject to the reporting
requirements as of the date the subaward exceeds $25,000. If the initial subaward equals or
exceeds $25,000 but funding is subsequently de-obligated such that the total award amount falls
betow $25,000, the subaward continues to be subject to the reporting requirements of the
Transparency Act and OMB Guidance.
D. As a Federal grant subawardee under this contract, your organization is required by FFATA,
OMB Guidance and this contract to provide the WMD, as the prime grant awardee, all
information required for FFATA comp(iant reporting by WMD. This includes all applicable
subawardee entity information required by FFATA and OMB Guidance, subawardee DUNS
number, and relevant executive compensation data, as applicable.
l. Data about your organization will be provided to USASpending.gov by the WMD
or by the Federal Contractor Registry (CCR). CCR is a government wide
� registration system for organizations that do business with the Federal
Government. CCR stores information about awardees including financial account
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FFY 12 Page 22 of 24 City of Federal Way �
E12-319 �
information for payment purposes and a link to D&B for maintaining current
DUNS information, www.ccr.gov. WMD encourages CCR registration and
annual renewal by your organization to minimize unnecessary data entry and re-
entry required by both WMD and your organization. It will aiso reduce the
potential of inconsistent or inaccurate data entry.
2. Your organization must have a Data Universat Numbering System (DtJNS)
number obtained from the firm Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) (www.dnb.com). A
DUNS number provides a method to verify data about your organization. D&B is
responsible for maintaining unique identifiers and organizationai linkages on
behalf of the Federal Government for organizations receiving Federal assistance.
E. 'The WMD, as the prime awardee, is required by FFATA to report names and total
compensation of the five (5) most highly compensated officers of your organization (as the
subawardee) if:
I. Your organization (the subawardee), in the preceding fiscal year, received 80 percent or
more of its annual gross revenues from Federal awards and $25,000,000 or more in
annual gross revenues from Federal awards; and
2. The public does not have access to this information about the compensation of the senior
executives of your organization through periodic reports fited under section 13(a) or

value earned by the executive during the past fiscal year and includes salary and bonus; awards
of stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights; and other compensation such as severance
and termination payments, and value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, and as
otherwise provided by FFATA and applicabie OMB guidance.
F. If (1) in the preceding fiscal year your organization received 8a percent or more of its annual
gross revenues from Eederal awards and $25,000,000 or more in annua( gross revenues from
Federal awards, and (2) the public does not have access to this information about the

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PUBLIC DEFENSE STANDARDS
October 1, 2012
Policy: Provide high quality public defense services by engaging experienced public
defenders.
Definition of a Case: A case is defined as the filing of a document, which may
include multiple citations from the same incident, wiih the court naming a
person as a defendant or respondent, to which an attorney is appointed in order
to provide representation.l
Definition of Appointment. Appointment of a public defender is defined as
assignment to represent a defendant as a result of indigent screening.
The caseload for attorneys with less than five years misdemeanor and/or gross
misdemeanor experience will be 3Q0 weighted cases per year.2
(300 cases/year = 48 weeks (240 working days) = 6.25 cases/week = 5 days =
1.25 cases/day)
The caseload for attorneys with at least five years misdemeanor and/or gross
misdemeanor criminal experierice increase caseload will be increased to a total
of 450 weighted cases per yeaz.3
(450 cases/yr = 48 weeks (240 working days) = 9.375 cases/week = 5 days =
1.875 cases/day)
The caseload for attorneys with at least five years misdemeanor and/or gross
misdemeanor coupled with five years felony criminal experience will be increased
to a total of 540 cases per year.4
(540 cases/yr = 48 weeks (240 working days) = 11.25 cases per week = 5
days = 2.25 cases/day)
Policy: Provide Public Defenders at the arraignment or first appearances even though the
defendant has not been screened to determine qualifications for indigent defense.
The Municipal Court of Federal Way has a daily in custody calendar, wtvch
includes arraignmentslfirst appearances; and an out of custody arraignment
calendar one day per week, which includes arraignments 5 Through contract
negotiations the Primary Public Defense Firm serves as attorney of the day at all
arraignments to provide information and counsel to all defendants even though they
may not be appointed to defend them.
' Standard 3.3 Defmition of a case.
z Standard 3.4 Three hundred misdemeanor cases per year if adopt weighting system.
3 Standard 3.3 Experience is a factor
° Standard 33 Experience is a factor
5 CRLJ 3.1 Right to an attorney in all criminal proceedings
Updated 9-5-12
As a result, the City recognizes the additional time, but will not count each matter
as a case because it does not meet the definition of a case per the Supreme Court
Order (i.e. the attorney has not been assigned to the .case), and it could be an
unconstitutional gift of public funds for those defendants who are not indigent.
However, the City's calculation of cases under the weighting system identified
below will address the additional time at arraignment by counting it as five percent
(5%) quarterly cases assigned for the entire firm to be divided 6
Policy: The City wiil follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court Order and weight
misdemeanor cases.
Stipulated Orders of Continuance (SOC), Deferred Prosecution (DP), Deferred
Sentence (DS), or other alternative disposition weighted 1/3.'
Also, pursuant to the Supreme Court Order the City will count guilty pleas at
arraignment as 1 case, because the Public Defender has been assigned the case .8
Policy: The City will weigh Federal Way crimes as listed in the attached Exhibit A 9 The
weighting was provided by the public defenders, reviewed by the Municipal Court
Judges, and presented to Office of Public Defense representatives before
implementation. In the event there are multiple charges for the same incident, the
case will be weighted using the highest weighted charge as the total measure for
that case.
The case count for any case that proceeds to trial will convert to one and no
longer count as a fraction.
Policy: The City will continue to utilize alternatives and considers the review/probation
hearings as part of an ongoing case.10
A review/probation hearing will only be counted as a case if the defendant was
previously represented by a different public defense frm.� 1 A review/probation
hearing without a new criminal charge under this definition will count as 1/3 of a
case.12
A review/probation hearing with a new criminal charge will remain as weighted at
the time of the original assignment and the new charges will be weighted pursuant
to Exhibit A, but only if the new charge is brought in Federal Way Municipal
Court.13

' Standard 3.6 (B)(v) Stipulated Order of Continuance, Deferred Prosecution and Defened Sentence can be
weighted 1/3

MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 2012
TO: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
CC: MAYORPRIEST �,��(j ,
FROM: PAT RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY �` `
SUBJECT: INSURANCE CARRIER
BACKGROUND
The City joined the Washington Cities Insurance Authority ("WCIA") in September 2008.
Pursuant to the interlocal agreement with WCIA, the City agreed to remain with the pool for
three years followed by one-year increments. The premiums for WCIA continue to increase
despite the reduction in worker hours and the limited application of WCIA's monies for matters
above the $100,000 deductible. For example, in 2009 the premium for general liability was
$329,842; in 2010 it was $349,544; and in 2011 it was $383,161.
Under the interlocal agreement the City needed to notify WCIA of its intent to withdraw
from the pool twelve (12) months in advance. Given the historical rise in premiums and other
factors, the City did provide notice in 2011 of its intent to withdraw from the pool.
MARKET ANALYSIS
The City issued a Request for Proposal for insurance broker services and selected a broker
for the purpose of conducting a market analysis of insurance carriers for the City. Staff worked
with the broker to provide loss history statistics and to complete generic applications for the
marketing analysis.
On July 30�' WCIA notified the City that the preliminary assessment for generai liability was
raising to $636 (an increase of $251,000). Property coverage is comprised of buildings which is
expected to increase five percent (5%) for a total of $47,709 (an increase of $2,272), and boiler
coverage which is expected to remain the same at $2,456 for a total property premium of
$50,165. Additionally, WCIA notified the City the deductible would be changed to zero starting
January 1, 2413, and all claims must be turned over to them. The City's loss history would rise
and the City's ability to monitor and provide input on the handling of claims and or litigation
would be nil. WCIA also notified the City that a formal written request to remain in the pool
was due by October l, 2012.
The City appealed the assessment and received notice on September I2�' that the appeal was
denied. The City can, however, argue before the Board on October 12�' why the deductible
should not change.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff met with the insurance broker on September 11 �` to go over the market analysis. After
reviewing the quotes of several companies, the Mayor and Staff recommend terminating the
relationship with WCIA and changing to the following carriers:
BRIT for primary general liability coverage -$419,000 premium; coverage to $5 Million
The policy would have a$250,OOQ Self Insurance Retention ("SIR"), which means the City
controls the claims and iitigation up to $250,000.
Torus for excess coverage -$180,000 premium; coverage above $5 Million to $15 Million.
Philadelphia for property insurance -$45,000 premium; coverage to $5 Million1.
Travelers for public officials and crime fidelity insurance -$3,500 premium; coverage to
$2.5 Million.
K:�nemo�2012\9-18 staff report insurance change final
� WCI�'s property insurance would be split among 150 members. It is difficult to estimate the coverage in the event of
a disaster because all 150 members would not likely be affected. Under Philadelphia's coverage the City would have �5
Million designated to cover damage to City owned property.

WHEREAS, an Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was properly issued

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on these
code amendments on July 18, 2012, and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City
Council; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findin�s. The City Council of the City of Federal Way makes the following
findings with respect to the proposed amendments.
(a) These code amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City and will
benefit the City as a whole because reducing the current open space standard to an amount that is
more in line with urban, mixed use development will help encourage the type of development
envisioned for the city center.
(b) These code amendments comply with Chapter 36.70A RCW, Growth Management.
(c) These code amendments are consistent with the intent and purpose of Title 19 FWRC and
will implement and are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP).
(d) These code amendments bear a substantial relationship to, and will protect and not
adversely affect, the public health, safety, and welfare.
(e) These code amendments have followed the proper procedure required under the FWRC.
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to chapter 19.80 FWRC and chapter 19.35 FWRC, and
based upon the recitals and the findings set forth in Section 1, the Federal Way City Council
Ordinance No. 12- Page 2 of 17
Rev 1/10 LU
makes the following Conclusions of Law with respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the
adoption of the proposed amendments:
(a) The proposed FWRC amendments are consistent with, and substantially implement, the
following FWCP goals and policies:
EDG4 The City will channel further residential growth into existing
multi-family and commercial-zoned areas, with a particular goal of encouraging
residential development in the City Center.
EDP6 The City will develop zoning, permitting, and potential financial
incentives that encourage prioritized development consistent with comprehensive
and subarea plans and orderly phased growth.
EDP14 The City will continue to utilize design guidelines to enhance the
urban environment to retain and attract businesses and residents.
HP8 Consider the economic impact of all development regulations on
the cost of housing.
HG3 Develop a Comprehensive Plan and zoning code that provide
flexibility to produce innovative housing solutions, do not burden the cost of
housing development and maintenance, and diversify the range of housing types
available in the City.
CCG7 Encourage housing opportunities in mixed residentiaUcommercial
settings. Promote housing opportunities close to employment.
CCG13 Focus new growth, with resultant increasing demands for
infrastructure and transportation in the City Center, specifically the core area.
Allow for higher intensity uses for efficient use of land.
Ordinance No. 12- Page 3 of 17
Rev 1/10 LU
CCP3 Continue to support land use regulations that allow the higher
intensity development e�ected over the next 15 to 30 years.
CCP8 Provide incentives to encourage residential development in the
City Center core area.
CCP10 Continue to develop land use regulations that encourage the frame
area to accommodate higher-density residential uses accompanied by
residentially oriented retail and service uses.
(b)The proposed FWRC text amendments bear a relationship to the public health, safety,
and welfare because the text amendments retain the requirement for on-site open space for multi-unit
development within the city center. While the amount of open space is proposed to be reduced, this
reduction better relates to the type of residential units that will likely be developed within the urban core
setting.
(c) The proposed FWRC text amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City
because the reduction in on-site open space required for multi-unit housing in the city center will
remove an existing barrier to construction of residential development within the city center,
thereby more readily accommodating future population growth in the city center. Additional
residents in the city center will help support the local businesses and cultura.l attractions that the
city wants to attract and retain.

Section 5. FWRC 19.115 is hereby amended to add a new section to read as follows:
19.115.115 Desig,n criteria for residential usable open space and fee-in-lieu option.
The followin� �uidelines a�plv to residential usable open space that is developed pursuant to FWRC
19.225.070 and 19.230.060.
(11 COMMON OPEN SPACE: All common open space �ronosed under this section shall meet the
definition of "open space, common" as set forth in this title and all of the followin�}criteria:
�al In order to be credited toward total residential usable open s�ace, common open space must be
a minimum of 225 sq: ft. and have a minimum dimension of 15 ft. The inclusion of additional conti� ous
onen space areas that have smaller dimensions, but enhance the use and en,�ovment of the overall lar�er
space mav be credited toward the overall minimum usable open space requirement subject to director
a�uroval.
(b) Indoor common areas such as recreation/workout rooms, swimmin�pools, and at�ring
�aces that meet the criteria of this section mav be counted as common open space subject to the criteria
in this section.
(c) The common open space shall be readilv visible and accessible from structure(s) with entries
to residential units.
(d) The common open space shall not be located on asphalt or �ravel pavement, or be adjacent to
unscreened parking lots chain-link fences or blank walls and mav not be used for parkin , l�oading, or
vehicular access.
(e) Pedestrian access wavs shall on1Y be counted as common open space when the pedestrian path
or walkway traverses a common open space that is 15 ft. or wider.
�fi The common open space shall be sufficiently desi�ned and a�pointed to serve as a major focal
point and a� therin�place Common open spaces shall include a si�nificant number of pedestrian-oriented
features furnishings and amenities typically found in plazas and recreational open space, such as seatin�

sitting walls lightin� weather protection special pavin� landscapinu and trash rece�ptacles In addition
the common open space(s) should provide one or more significant visual or functional amenities such as a
water feature fireplace and/or artwork and should allow for active uses such as phvsical exercise,
children's pla� ea ag therin� area for group social events and p-natch or other ar� dening activitv.
�2) PRIVATE OPEN SPACE: In order to be credited toward total residential usable open space,
private open space must be a minimum of 48 sq. ft. and have a minimum dimension of 6 ft.
(31 PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE: Publiclv accessible open spaces provided on site
mav be credited toward the minimum residential usable open s�pace requirement, as long as the open
�ace is directly accessible to and available to residents for their use. Only the portion of the public open
space directiv accessible to and available to residents for their use mav be credited toward the residential
usable open space rec�uirement.
�) FEE-IN-LIEU OPTION• A fee-in-lieu pavment mav be made to satisfy up to 50% of the
residential usable open s�ace rec�uirement for the development of public parks and recreation
imnrovements. Fee-in-lieu acceptance shall be at the discretion of the Parks Director after consideration
of the citv's overall park plan and the qualitY location and usability of the open space that would
otherwise be provided on the project site. If the citv determines that a fee-in-lieu is appropriate, a payment
of an equivalent fee-in-lieu of the required open space shall be made.
The fee-in-lieu of open space shall be calculated based on the most recent assessed value of the
subject propertX or an a�praisal conducted b,y a state-certified real estate a�vraiser If the a�licant offers
to pav fee in lieu of o�en s�ace and if the city accepts the offer the amount shall be determined based
�on the square footage of o�en space that otherwise would have been required to be provided,
multiplied bv the then-current market value per square foot of the property By choosing the fee-in-lieu
ontion the a�licant a�rees that the citv will not be restricted to usin� the fees in the park comprehensive
plannin� area that the subject propertv falls within and that thev mav be used for park and recreation

Section 6. FWRC 19.100.070 is hereby amended to read as follows:
19.100.070 Timing of fee payments.
Various sections of this Code require payment of fees to mitigate direct impacts of the development
approval. Notwithstanding those fees eligible for deferment pursuant to subsections (1)(b) 1 c and
(3)(b) ofthis section, the following describes when such fees shall be calculated and paid:
(1) Open space fee-in-lieu.
(a) As�rovided in FWRC 18.55.060 and 19.115.115, a �4 fee-in-lieu of open space may be made
to satisfy open space requirements at the discretion of the parks director and shall be calculated and paid
at the time of plat recording for residential land divisions or prior to building permit issuance for
multifamilv developments in the city center-core and citvi center-frame zoning districts, unless deferred as
noted below. The fee shall be calculated based upon the square footage of open space which otherwise
would have been required to be provided multiplied by the subject property's assessed or appraised value.
(b) For those residential land divisions vested prior to July 2, 2015, open space fees-in-lieu may
be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house or five years from
deferment of the fee, whichever is earlier. Covenants prepared by the city shall be recorded at the
applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat recording to enforce payment of deferred fees. The fee
shall be calculated at the time of plat recording and divided equally among all newly created lots. The fee
shall be calculated based upon the square footage of open space which otherwise would have been
required to be provided multiplied by the subject property's assessed or appraised value. As consideration
for the ability to defer open space fee-in-lieu payments beyond plat recording, the applicant agrees to
waive the right to interest and/or a refund if payment is not expended within five years of collection.
(cl For multifamily developments in the citvi center-core and city center-frame, open space fees-
in-lieu mav be deferred, but shall be �aid no later than the completion of construction and prior to receipt
Ordinance No. 12- Page 11 of 17

of certificate of occupanc ��/approval to occu�y for each floor or each buildin�phased, or five vears
from the recordin� of the deferment covenants, whichever is earlier. Covenants prepared by the citv shall
be recorded at the applicant's expense, prior to buildin�permit issuance, to enforce pavment of deferred
fees. The fee shall be calculated at the time of recording of the covenants and shall be divided equallX
among all residential units within the project. The fee shall be calculated based upon the square footage of
open space that otherwise would have been required to be �rovided multiplied bv the subject property's
assessed or a�praised value. As consideration for the abilitv to defer open space fee-in-lieu pa�
beYOnd buildin�permit issuance, the a�plicant agrees to waive the right to interest and/or a refund if
�avment is not expended within five years of collection.
(2) Regionad stormwater facidity fee-in-lieu. Developments may be able to utilize stormwater detention
in one of the city's regional stormwater facilities based on an area fee-in-lieu established by the city. Fees
are used for construction cost recovery and shall be paid at the time of plat recording for residential land
divisions and prior to building permit issuance for commercial and multifamily developments.
(3) Transportation impact fee. Unless the use of an independent fee calculation has been approved, or
unless a development agreement entered into pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170 provided otherwise, the fee
shall be calculated and paid per the following:
(a) For residential land divisions, fees shall be calculated and paid at the time of plat recording.
For unplatted single-family residential lots, commercial and multifamily developments, fees shall be
calculated based on the impact fee schedule in effect at the time a completed building permit application
is filed and paid prior to permit issuance. For a change in use for which no building pertnit is required, the
fee shall be calculated and paid based on the impact fee schedule in effect on the date of an approved
change of use.
Ordinance No. 12- Page 12 of 17
Rev 1ltOLU
(b) For residential land divisions and unplatted single-family residential lots, the transportation
impact fee may be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house.
Covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees shall be recorded at the
applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat recording for residential land divisions and prior to
building permit issuance for unplatted single-family residential lots. The fee shall be calculated based on
the impact fee schedule in effect on the date of payment of the impact fee.

Public Hearing of July 1$, 2012
I. BACKGROUND
<. In �reeent years, the City of Federal Way has received developinent proposals for high-rise, mixed-
uss.development within the City Center, specifically tlie City Center-Core (CG-C). In these cases,
the application of the minimum 200 square feet� per unit of usable o�3en space resultied in a required
open space area that exceeded the size of the building site. The current open space requirement is
inconsistent with the type of higher density, mixed use development envisioned for a thriving urban
center. The requirement of 200 square feet per unit is higher than whaf is typically required in ot}ier
cities that allow high-rise, mixed-use development.
In 2010, staff reviewed the open space requirements for the Community Business (BC) zoning
district and the Planning Commission recommended a reduction from 300 square feet per unit to
150 square feet per unit due to similar circumstances where multi-unit housing is only allowed in
mixed use development. The City Council adopted the proposed change to open space in the BC
zone. With the BC code amendment; there is currently a lesser open space requirement in the BC
zone than in ttie CGC and CC-F zones. As anticipated, development intensity is greater in the CC
zones and it malces sense to consider a reduction to the open space requirement in the CC zones.
The Planning Commission is being asked to review the pxoposed changes to Federal Way Revised
Code (FWRC) Title 19 (Exhibits A-E�, and forward a recommendation to the City Couneil's Land
Use/Transportation Comrttittee (LUTC) and City Council. This proposed code revision is listed as a
"High Priority" in the Planning Commission's 2012 work program.
II. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
The proposed amendments to the FWRC Title 19, "Zoning and Development Code," would reduce
the minimum amouni of required on-site open space. In addition, design guidelines for the on-site
open space are proposed that would emphasize quality over yuantity and help ensure that on-site
open space is usable. The design guidelines aliow for a range of spaces that can be counted as
FWRC Code Amendments—Open Space in CC zones File 12-]02t09-00-UP

usable open space, including rooftop terraces, private balconies, indoor spaces, and a fee-in-lieu
opti�n for up to 50% of the open space requirement.
In d�vetoping the proposed amendments, staff reviewed the urba� open space development
standards of other cities that allow for high rise mixed use development. In addition, a good
sum.mary of open space requiremezrts in other loca] cities is contained in a paper prepared for the
Municipai Research and Services Center (MRSC) by Bob Bengford of MAKERs (Exhibit F�.
The following sectians provide summaries of each of the proposed code amendments. The
proposed text is enclosed in Exhibits A-E.
Praposed Code Amendments
1. Recommended modification to Mu1ti-Unit Use Zone Charts for CC-C and CC-F
zoning districts. ,
This proposed amendment would reduce the usable open space requirement from a
minimum of 200 square feet per unit to 100 square feet per unit, or one half of the current
requirement. The proposed reduction is more in line with mixed use high rise development.
In higher density urban developments there are tygically multiple us�s along with structured
parking, leaving little to no open s�3aee•aua�latsle at the ground level: In this type of
development, usable open space is oftep provided by a combination of: open space at ground
level or above packing structures; balc.onies; roof to� terraces; and sometimes in�bor
recreation or gathering spaces. Along with tha proposed reduction in total open space, the
use zone charts refer to a new section in the "Community Design Guidelines" chapter of
Title 19 that speciiies considerations and options for etigible usable open space, including a
fee-in-lieu option for up to 50 percent of the required open space (Ezhibits A and B).
2. Recommended moditications to FWRC 19.115, "Community Design Guidelines," to
add a new section that provides design guidelines for residential usable open space for
multi-unit housing in the CGC and CC-F zones.
In reducing the overall open space standard, emphasis should be placed on quality and
usability of the open space provided. For that reason, a new section in Chapter 19.115,
"Community Design Guidelines," is proposed. This section provides recommended
minimum sizes and dimensions for private and common open space areas to be considered
"usable." It also speci�es when on-site public open space provided for the beneft of all site
users and the general public may be credited toward the residential open space requirement.
The design guidelines specify the types of amenities that should be included in common
open spaces to make them engaging, and provides a suggested range of appropriate
activities, including recreation, gathering places, play areas, and gardens.
To provide additionai flexibility, a fee-in-lieu program is proposed. A maximum of 50% of
the total open space reguirement may be met with the fee-in-lieu option in order to ensure
there is always usable open space available on-site. The fee will be calculated based on the
assessed or appraised value of the land where the project is situated, and the fees collected
will be expended on park facilities within the parks planning areas that coincide with the
city center zoned areas (Exhibit C�.

3. Recommen�ed modifications to FWRC 19.05.150, "Definitions."
This proposed amendment modifies the currerit definitions of "open space" and "private
open space," and adds a new defnition for "commor� open space." The intent of these
modifications is to make the definitions more consistent with the way they are referenced
throughout Title 19 (Exhibit D).
4. Recommended modifications to FWRC 19.1�0.070, "Mitigation of Development
Impacts:'
The last proposed code amendment in conjunc:tion with the modification to on-site open
space in the city center zones is to the "Mitigation of Development Impacts" section. This
modification specifies the timing of payment of fees-in-lieu for open space related to
residential development in the ciiy center. It also provides a provision for defecring the fee-
in-lieu payment to the tirne the units are occupied, similar to that provided for residential
subdivisions (Exhibit.�.

IV. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Process VI Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for zoning
code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is
as follows: �
1. To review and evaluate the proposed zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments.
2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendments meet the criteria established
in FWRC 19.80.130.
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the proposed zoning
code te�ct amendments.

V. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
PWRC Chapter 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section
analyzes compliance of the proposed zoning.:text amendments with the criteria provided by this
chapter. The city may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that:
1� The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions o#the
comprehensive plan.
The proposed FWRC text amendments are consistent with the folIowing Federal Way
Comprehensive Pla�z (FWCP) policies and goals:
EDG4 The City will channel further residential growth into existrng multi family
and commerciad-zoned area�s, with a particular goal of encouraging
residential development in fhe City Center.
EDP6 The �'ity will develop zoning, permitfing, and potential f nancial incentives that
encourage prioritized development consistent with comprehensive and subarea
plans and orderly phased growth,
EDPI4 The City will continue to utilize des.ign guidelines to enhai�ce the urban
environment to retain and attract businesses and residents.
HP8 Consider the economic impact of all.developmenF regulations on the cost of
housing.
HG3 Develop a Comprehensive Plan and zoning code that provide flexibility to produce
innovative housing solutions, do not burden the cost of housing development and
maintenance, and divers� the range of housing types available in the City.
GCG7 Encourage housing opportunities in mixed residential/commercial senings.
Promote housing opportunities close to employment.
CCG13 Focus new growth, with resultant increasing demands for infrasiructure and
transportation in the City Center, specifrcally the core area. Allow for higher
intensity uses for efficient use of land.
CCP3 Continue to support land use regulations that allow the higher intensity
development expected over the next IS to 30 years.
CCP8 Provide incentives to encourage residential development in the City Center core
area.
CCPIO Contirrue to develop land use regulations that encourage the frame area to
accommodate higher-density residential uses accompanied by residentially
oriented retail and service uses.
2. The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to public heafth, safety, or
welfare.
FWRC Code Amendments — Open Space in CC zones File 12-102109-00-UP
July 18, 2012, P(anning Commission Public Hearing Page 4 of 4
The proposed FWRC text amendments bear a substantial relationship to the public heaith, safety,
and welfare because the text amendments retain the requirement for on-site open space for
mutti-unit development within- the city center. While the amaunt of open space is proposed �o be
reduced, this reduction better ��elates to the type of residential units that will likely be develciped
within the urban core setting.
3. The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the city.
The proposed FWRC text amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the city because
the reduction in on-site open space required for multi-unit housing in the city center will remove
an e�cisting barr.ier to construction of residential clevelopment within the city center, thereby,
more readily accommodating future population growth in the ciTy center. Additional residents in
the city center will help support the local businesses and cultural attractions that the city wants to
attract and retain. .
V. STAFF RECOMM�NDATION
Based on the.above:staff.analysis and decisional criteria; stafirecommends tliat the following
amendments to FWRC Title ] 9, "Zoning and Development Code," be recommended for approvaTto

otherwise would have been reguired to be provided muhiplied by the subject property's assessed or
appraised val.ue.
(bj'Fo'r those residential land divisions vested prior to July 2, 2015, open space fees-in-lieu may
be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house or five years from
deferment ofthe fee, whichever is earlier. Govenants prepared by the city shall be recorded at`the
applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat record'ing to enforce payment of deferred fees. The fee
shall be calculated at the time of plat recording and divided equally among all newly created lots. The fee
shall be calculated based upon the sGuare footage of open space which otherwise would have been
required to be provided multiplied by the subject properiy's assessed or appraised value. As consideration
for the ability to defer open space fee-in-lieu payments beyond plat recording, the applicant agrees to
waive the right to interest and/or a refund if payment is not expended within five years of collection.
(c) For muttifamilv develouments in the city center-core and citvi center-frame, open space

are used for construction cost recovery and shall be paid at the time of plat recording for residential land
divisions and prior to building permit issuance for commercial and multifamily developments.
(3) Transportation impact fee. Unless the use of an independent fee calculation has been approved, or
unless a development agreement entered into pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170 provided otherwise, the fee
shall be calculated and paid per the following:
(a) For residential land divisions, fees shall be calculated and paid at the time of plat recording.
For unplatted single-family residential lots, commerci�l and multifamily developments, fees shall be
calculated based on the impact fee schedule in efFect at th� time a completed building permit application
is fled and paid prior to permit issuance. For a change in �se for which no building permit is reyuired, the
fee shall be calculated and paid based on the impact fee schedule in effect on the date of an approved
change of use.
(b) For residential land divisions and unplatted single-family residential lots, the transportation
impact fee may be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house.
Covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment ofthe:deferred fees shall be recorded at the

Provic�ing for Usable Open Space for 1V�ultifamily
Developments
January 2012
By Bob Bengford AICP, MAKERS
This is the second of two articles discussing regulatory strategies to address two challenges to
creating compatible and livabte infiil development. The flrst article, pubtished in �ebruary 2011,
discussed strategies far pratecting existing nelghborhoods from the impacts of new development.
This article describes concepts for providing usable open space i'n new multifamily residences.
Introd�ction
Smart growth prindples call for the development•of more intense mixed-use centers at
transportation hubs or other strategic iocations plus muitifamily infill in neighborhood centers.
Demographlc changes in concert with fue! costs are increasing the demand for compact. multifamily
housing in Westem Washington and throughoutthe coun.try. With rising iand costs, cities are finding
it increasingly difficult to create new parkland to serve this increased density. 'i'hus, it's beeoming-
increasingty important for cities to updaEe regulations to provide for usabie on-site open space
associated with muftifamity development.
This articie examines:
• "fhe goals and benefits of providing on-site multifamily open space
• Research and resources
• Notable challenges in providing on-site open space
• A comparison in'how a few Washington cities regulate open space

recreation and leisure activities. While this is impartant.foc ali age groups, usabie opetl�space is -
particulacly importanE for children. On-site open space associated with residentiat development
brings a number of other benefits toward creating healthy and livable communities. Seio.w is a
sample of some of the more notable benefits:
• Health benefits - pathways and recreational facitities such as ptay areas, swimming pools,
and fitness centers promote increased physicai activity. Balconies and common areas alsd ofFer
opportunities for gardening and growing a smail amount of herbs, fruft, and/or vegetables;
• Enhanced residential:�ettrng:- fihis lncludes an increase in iight and a[r to dwelUng units
surrounding the commo�r open spaces and, enhanEed views Prom units. Where� Candscaped open
spaces are visible from the street. or adjacent pcoperties, they bring obvious enhancements to the
community's character as welf. Gourtyard spaces can also ofFer increased privacy-through tl�e
strategic configuratlons and the piacement.of windows and tandscaping;
• Enviranmentat benefits - ground level and courtyard spaces and even rooftop de�ks offer.
opportunities for #rees and plants which consume carbon d.ioxide and heip to reduce stormwatec
runoff; �
•� Sociai benefits - weii-desiqned common open spaces provide increased opporCunities for
socia! interaction with ne'►ghbors;
• Safety - common open spaces that incorporate CPTED principles (Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design) increase the number of "eyes on the space" by allowing famiiies to keep an
eye out on chiidren and for residents to be on the laokout for crime; and
• Generaf functiona) bene�ts - spaces such as balconies can provide a wide range�of other
funcCionai behefits to residentiat Ilving. This can include a space to hang-dry ciothing, space to
barbecue, or conduct certain cleaning or other activities that are di�cult to clo indoors.
The common open spaces at the coordinated Z-home (�rrst net zero energy multifamily development
in the country} and YWCA deve/opment in Issaquah Highlands provide for multiple functions. This
includes recreational bene�ts, visual amenities, increased solar access to adjacent units, and low
impact development techniques used in the common areas help to manage stormwater impacts from
the developmenr on the site.
What are the Challenges to Providing I7sable Upen Space?
Below are the challenges Chat are most often cited to providing usable on-site open space.
� Lack of space. This chalienge is most notable on smaller sites in heavily urbanized areas
where land costs are high. Developers can argue that carving out open spaces reduces the
opportunity for rental or sates income. However, the typicat con�guration of resldential buildings on
city biocks neariy aiways leaves pfenty of feft-over space to accommodate courtyard spaces between
buildings and building wings. For constrained infill sites where generousiy sized courtyards may not

be possible, a combination of bakonies, rooftop decks, and/or indoor common open space may be
kt�sati�g '
_..__ ;
sa��ier� - - •
• Cost. The cost of designing and buiiding the open spaces affect the bottom line of
developments in two ways.A Yes, they do add costs ta devetopment, but they also help to bring in
revenue in terms of sales and/or increased rentai rates due to the amer�ities they create for
residents. Uttimatety, open spaces don't need to be expensive. The usability of open spaces is often
best determined by the basic configuration of spaces and the relationship of units, windows, building
walls, and simple landscaping elements. Much of this comes from thoughtfui design rather than
expensive materiais and furnishings.
• Maintenance. This is a critical factor in the {ong term usability of common ctpen spaces. While
there are obvious costs associated with maintenance, the'design of open spaces can help to reduce
ongoing maintenance costs. Where residents have good access to the open spaces and frequentfy
use them, there's a certain amount of self-maintenance that occurs. But maintenance needs to be
buitt into the cosks of the development, just as other amenities factor into the rents that residents
are willing to pay to live in particular developments.
�Vhat other I.iterature is Out There on Multifan�i�y Upen Spa�e?
While muct� has been written about pubiic open space, literature on the=bene�ts of private on-site
open space is surprisingly hard to find. The most common source of information availabie is within
municipal design guidetines and standards. But outside of brief intent statements, guidelines, and
graphic examples, an in-depth discussion on the benefits and characteristics of multifamily apen
spaces are most often left to books and literature.
Sorne notable 'sources of information on tFie design and�or benefits of muitifamily open space
include•
• Housing as ifPeop/e Mattered and Peop/e Places (Cooper Markus and othec's). These
two books - especially Housing as if Peop/e Mattered - are hhe best and most extensive studies of
private residentia! open space that I've. found. While the photo examples and graphics feel a little
outdated, the contents and design guidelines, which touch on the ful! range of open space issues, are
stiil spot on. Both books place a strong emphasis on the special needs of families wiEh children.
• Site Planning (L.ynch and Hack). 7'his classic includes exceltent guidance on housing deSign
and dlscusses outdoor space. needs for resldents, notably for childre� and teenagers (w�ich they
note are often forgotten in housing design). 'Tl�e book states that "it is better to distribute a varied
set of piay opportuntties in many locations rather than to concentrate them in one area." Lynch and
Hack.dlscuss the importance of balancing visibility with privacy and the unique needs of indiyidual
housing types.
� Pattern Language (Alexander, Ishikawa, Silve�stein). �Another classic, this book
includes a wealth oP ideas in creattng livable environments. It includes chapters on the various
housing types, the needs of dlfferent age groups and families, and the design of a wide range of
outdoor spaces associated with housing.
• Form-Based Codes (D. Parolek, K. Pacolek, and Crawford). This includes a brtef section
on internal open space and provides guidance on courtyard cfesign. The authors consider approprtate
dimensions based on solar access and adjacent buiiding heights and whether the courtyard is on the
ground or on a podium over parking.
There are surely other resources that I haven't stumbled upon - fiherefore please comment if you
recommend another.great resource on multifamily open space :design/needs.

Bellevue, and Redmond. Each city's approach difPers somewhat from the others. A(so, ali four cities
recenfily updated at least some of their appileable standards.
Since each city has a variety of zones that allow for mu(tifamily housing, I've divided the following
chart into the segments - by housing type: apartments (single purpose), apartments in a dense
mixed-use setting, and townhouses. For each city, the chart addresses the amount of open space
required, design-related requirements, applicable design review process, and finally some comments

Comments and Observations on Regu:latory Research
Seattle
Page 7 of 13
With by far the largest pool of development test cases in Washington and the most intensive
multifamily zoning code update process, the inclusion of Seattle in this study is essential. I met with
Mike Podowski, the City's Land Use Policy Supervisor, to tatk about this article, the City's recent
update, and some lessons fearned. Mike reiterated that is was important for the new code to add
more flexibility while enhancing the design criteria and making some refinements to the review
process (notably for townhouses). Like Seattie's new code, he suggested my research table above
compare difFerent open space requirements based on the type of housing. He was also �urious about
research on the beneflts of providing for open space.
Seattle's new code substantially reduces the amount of reqwired open space in many cases, but adds
greater emphasis on the quality and usability of the open space. I talked about the new code with
architect Radim Blazej (Caron Architects), who is familiar with both the old and new codes. Radim
reiterated that the added Fl:exibility in the code cegarding open space dimensions makes the code
much easler to work with. For example, he indicated that the opportunity to provide up to 50% of
the usabie open space on the roof was an attractive opporEunity. He's found that such rooftop spaces
are most desirable for residents in the more urbanized settings due to the view potentfal and sense
of privacy. �

The City`s previous code (up to 2008) had�basicaily no open space standards. As a resuit, there are a
number of developments (particularly in the greater downtown area) that provide no open space or
poorly design�d apen space. As part of a citywide "Design Review Project," I had a chance to work
with the City (with MAKERS) to examine the shortcomings and propose solutions. T'Fiis project
included the following components#
• A study on the establishment of a design review program. The project reviewed numerous
examples and identified a number of optional approaches that might work for Tacoma.
• Updating the design standards for the various mixed-use zones (adopted 2008).
Without a specia! design review process in piace, there was a strong desire to adopt prescrlptive
standards to address open space and other destgn shortcomings. While this approach offers less
design flexibility, the standards offer a number of choices in how their requirements can be met. The
newly adopted standards are reflected in the chart above in the city's mixed-use center zones only.
geilevue
Beltevue's regulatory approach stands out as the most unique of the four communities particuiarly
because the city has very few estabtished standards for private open space in multifamily
devetopments. The city's design standards and guidelines for the most densely developed areas
(Downtown and the Bel-Red Corridor) place much greater emphasis on providing publicly accessible
open spaces — in addition to providing guidance for the form and character of development. Other
specific comments and observations:
• The recent _Bel-Red Corridor Design Guidelines are the most recent guidelines project
undertaken by the city, and thus represent the latest in thinking about urban design in the city. The
Bet-Red code emphasizes form-based standards and includes an extensive density bonus system
that includes incentives for public open space. The guidelines include numerous photos of acceptabte
and unacceptable design examples addressing streetscape ePements, building form/character and
design details, but they dan't speci�cally address private residentiai open space. Pefiaps with the
approach in emphasizing high quality streetscape and pub{ic open space, there is a reduced need to
reguiate the amount and type of private internaf open space for muitifamiiy?

• As a Bellevue resident, I often explore new jogging routes all over downtown. I've found that
downtown's super block configuration often leaves a consicterable amount of land for public open
space, given the naturat (and/or regulatory. ) limitations on tower Floor-plates and the extent of
underground parking. Or, perhaps this open space is the resutt of the city's policies, guidelines and
standards? Likely, it's a combination of both.
• Most apartment/condo devetopments in downtown appear to have a good mixture of internal
open spaces inciuding balconies, ground fev.ei plazas, upper level courtyards over parking decks
(there are many), some internal recreational space, and some roof top decks (at ieast that I know
about). The smaNer infill mid-rise developFnents appear to have the smailest amount of open space -
a situation common in nearly all urban centers in the region.
• Emfl King, the c1ty's Strategic Pianning Manager, noted that perhaps there was a reduced need
for on-site private open space within developments that are adjacent to public parks or plazas (and I
agree). He mentioned projects adjacent to the Downtown Park and the smalier Ashwood Park and
Plaza as good examples.
• s. . .
lf�ving. mek with pi.anner )eff Churchill s�verai times over the past couple years, I wzs aware that
Redmond w�s in the midst of a major zo�in.g code upda.te and had recently adopted new zoning and
design standards for the Overlake area. Additional observations and comments:
• The open space standards for the muitifamily zones focus primarily on landscaped ground level
open space. 7eff noted that these are essentially suburban type standards, but that very littte
developabie land in these zones remains. -�
• The courtya'rd dimensionai standards for powntown are noteworthy for their ability to enha�ce
the desirability and usability of such spaces.
• The Downtown open space standards include a"fee in lieu of" open space aption, but oniy for
up Co SO% of the required common open space.
Some Lessons I.earned
First of all, it's obvious that individual regulations need to suit the unique needs of the community.
By this, I mean a combination of local market demographics and unique community characteristics
and goals. Some keys in crafting�.approaches for regulating and designing multifamily open space
include:
• Recognize different needs for different hous ing types. Townhomes and other ground
based multifamily housing types have different needs than apartment buildi�gs with stacked flats.
Regulations need to reflect those inherent differences.
• Involve locai deveiopers, designers, and builders. It's always important to talk with the
local development community to find out what's working and get them involved in any process to
update development standards.
• Bigger is not necessarily better. Communities requiring an excessive amount and/or sizes
of apen spaces can actualty discourage development by impacting the viability of development. The
problem 3s compounded when there isn't adequate design guidance Porsuch spaces. I've found it
more effective to work with the community in providing guidance in designing usable apen spaces
and determining the amount of usable open space necessary for livabte developme�ts and given
reasonable development objectives.
• E�courage a range of open space types. This is parti�ularly important for apartment
buildings. Visibie common open spaces such as courtyards are typlcally the most important open
space resources, but other types of open space should be encouraged.

■ Balconies provide a usable Pr9vate open spa.ce resource where residents can barbecue,
__ . . _ _�" - - .-_ - . . ,th�teu��.ls�k��tt�taz��= t�� _ _ _ _.. _..
that residents typicafly spend on batconies is small, it's,noteworthy to consider how
balconies can allow gceater dayllght into units and help to expand the perceived living space
within the unit. ihe book Housing .as if People Mattered suggests that the minimum size of a
baicony to be functionaliy useful is 60 square feet with no dimension less than 6 feet.
. Rooftop decks are becoming an increasingly important resource for infili multifamily
developments in heavily urbanized areas. These spaces are more likely to be used where
they feature good views, feature a�ange of amenities, and inciude design features that
enhance accessibifity and safety.
■ Pea �a�ches are a feature that shou{d be increasingiy encouraged, in response to a renewed '
interest in the locai food movement. However, the location, design, and management of pea
patches ace very important to ensure they can be effectively used and maintai:ned. To be
sure, they are fikeiy to be used by only a fraction of residenfs, but they can serve as a visual
(and eVen social) amenity for other resldents.
■ Chifdren's Rfay areas should always be considered and be required to some extent in larger
developments. Like nearly a11 open space types, visibility to/from adjacent dweiling units is '
critical, '
■ Indoor recreational areas should aiso be an option to meet a portion of the total intemal ?
oper� spa�e needs for the development (buk not ail of it) of infilt housi�g tjrpes in more ;
intensive urban areas. The�e spaces�sMould� be sp�cificaily designed for recreationai activities
and be housed in accessible and visible areas.
■ Woonerfs mighC also be �ons[dered as a usable open space resource in townhouse
developments. A woanerF is a Dutch ferm for a street that is designed equalty for '
pedestrians and automobiles - typicafly where there is special paving in a curbfess design
integrated with trees and other I�ndscaped elements that can also func.tion as a playcourt.
i Consider reduced on-site open space needs. for developments adja�ent to public
parks. "Adjacent" is the key'word, as it's the direct visibility and accessibility that prouide the link.
• Test the standards. Consider both existing (if applicabie) and prospective multifamily
development examples that meet other aoning standards to determine different ways that
developers might choose to meet the standards. Assume the worst case scenario - is it good
enough? Qn the other hand, are the requirements overly difficult or costly to meet?
• Provide examples - both good and bad. Photos and other graphic examples are heipful for
developers, staff, and other participants in the development review process. I've found the bad
examples to be just as helpful as the good ones. I also suggest to communities to buifd a photo
library of completed projects that they can share with prospective applicants when needed.
Common Open Space Examples
http:/Iwww.mrsc.org/focus/pladvisor/p1a0112.aspx 7/10/2012
Planning Advisor January 2012
These open spaces above are, both built over; parking decks - the:Jandscape elements help them
function as a green roof while providing for visual and functiona! amenities ro the surrounding units.
The left example above from eainbridge Island integrates large existing trees into a relatively large
"commons" whi/e the right example iR downtown Bellevue doub/es as usable public open space, as
there is a coffee shop to the feft.
Obviously bad examples. Tl�e space on the left offe�s no amenities otf►er than grass area - and the
slopes reduce the usability of the space for informa! recreation. The large blank walls and elevation
change between the open space and the dwelling units reduce its attractiveness.

It`s obvious that these courtyards are much too narrow to function as usable open space. The design
severely limits the direct sunlight available to the space and also reduces the solar access and
privacy to the adjacent units.
Other Open Space Fxamples
Attractive rooftop open space (left) and a pea patch example (right). The pea patch is at the Alycone
Apartments in South Lake Union, Seattle. It's situated on an upper leve! deck, but visib/e from
dwe!ling units on both sides, very accessible, and receives ample morning and afternoon sunlight.
When i visited the development last year, t�here was a waiting /ist for residents to get one of the
smal! plots. You can see the rain barrels in the background, which include rain water from adjacent
roofs and provide a water source for gardeners. The complex also provides basic tools for residents.
The cornplex uses the pea patch as a marketing tool (see fo� yourself) and it has become a popu/a�
social activity for residents.
Townhouse Fxamples

Planning Advisor Januaty 20 2 2
These townhouses include usabie semi-private front yard open spaces, while the left example adds
balconies for each unit rhat help to expand the living area of the units.
These townhomes were provided wi[h far t�oo little open space amenities. There is basically no
setback in the rear yard, while the long asphalt driveways can be viewed as a wasred opportunity
(move building closer to street'and provide some usable open space,in the back). Also, the balconies
appear much too nacrow to invite use.

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Diana Noble-Cruddiford, Federal Way Historical Society Presfdent — She noted that research and
adoption of an ordinance addressing historic preservation is on the Planning Commission's 2012
Work Program and she presented the Commission with some background on the issue. She gave
the Commissioners a handout where it was noted that research shows that 546 properties within
the City of Federal Way were built in 1950 or before and 28 were built in 1920 or earlier. Some
examples of potential Federal Way landmark status properties include the Federal Way High
School, Camp Kilworth Rotary Lodge, Dumas Bay Retreat, and the Robert Verzani Home. She
stated there are many others. She commented that one of the primary benefits of a historical
preservation program is that owners of designated landmark properties would be eligible to apply
for a variety of incentive programs for preservation. A historical preservation program would
implement the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan's policies.
A discussion was held regarding Federal Way High School being a potential Federal Way
landmark. It was noted that Federal Way Public Schools is considering demolishing the school
and replacing it with a new one. It was noted that portions of the school could be preserved. The
entire building does not necessarily have to be preserved if it is declared an historical landmark. It
would depend upon the landmark preservation policies adopted by the city. Developing these
policies will be part of the proposed code amendment.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING — Proposed Amendments Related to Open Space Standards for Multi-Unit
Residential Development Within the City Center-Core and City-Center Frame Zoning Districts
Ms. Shull delivered the staff report. The proposed amendment will reduce the minimum amount of
required on-site open space for residential development in the City-Center Core (CC-C) and City-Center
Frame (CC-F) zoning districts. In addition, it includes design guidelines that will emphasize quality over
quantity and help ensure the on-site open space is usable. It will modify the open space definitions to
make them more consistent with the way they are referenced throughout the code. Finally, it will add the
option of a fee-in-lieu for open space related to residential development in the CC zones.
Currently, the code requires a minimum of 200 square feet of usable open space per unit of residential
development. Reviews of recent development proposals for high-rise, mixed-use development has shown
that this requirement results in a required open space area that exceeds the size of the building site. Staff
recommends that the amount of required usable open space be reduced to a minimum of 100 square feet.
Ms. Shull sta.ted that in 2010, the City Council approved the recommended reduction of usable open space
area in the Community Business (BC) zoning districts from 300 square feet per unit to 150 square feet per
unit due to similar circumstances. This resulted in a lesser open space requirement in the BC zone as
opposed to the CC-C and CC-F zones. It is anticipated that development in the CC zones is more intense
than the BC zone and therefore, it makes sense to consider a reduction to the open space requirement in the
CC zones.
A new section is proposed for Chapter 19.115 that will provide recommended minimum sizes and
dimensions for private and common open space areas to be considered "usable." The proposed section
will allow for common (such as gyms, pools, and gathering spaces), private (balconies, etc.), and publicly
accessible open space (when directly accessible to residents) of particular dimensions. Common open
space areas will be required to provide amenities that will make them engaging and will allow for active
use (such as child play areas). In addition, the proposed new chapter will allow a fee-in-lieu option for a
maximum of 50% of the total open space requirement. The fees will be used for park facilities within the
parks planning areas that coincide with the CC zoned areas.
Commissioner O'Neil asked what percenta.ge of the open space must be public access. Ms. Shull replied
that the open space is intended for the residents and does not necessarily have to be accessible to the
public. Commissioner O'Neil expressed his concern that if a developer chooses the fee-in-lieu option, the
money may not be used in a way that is directly beneficial to the residents. Commissioner O'Neil
expressed his concern that if the open space is to benefit the residents he is uneasy with the option of a
fee-in-lieu which will go to a park that may not benefit the residents.
Commissioner Bronson stated he finds the proposed definitions confusing and asked for clarifcation. Ms.
Shull replied that the city has a number of different types of open space and the definitions aze staff
attempts to capture them all. Commissioner Bronson asked what the reason is for choosing 100 square feet.
Mr. Shull replied that staff used the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington (MRSC)
report titled, "Providing for Usable Open Space for Multifamily Developments," that is an exhibit to the
staff report. The report compares the open space requirement for various cities in Washington. Staff also
researched comparable cities outside of Washington. Some cities used a percentage of gross square
foota.ge, but staff felt this would be difficult to implement. Commissioner Bronson expressed his concern
that the 100 square feet is not based on objective data, but he recognizes that objective data may not exist.
Commissioner Carlson expressed his concern about the aesthetics of the buildings. He suggested that a
certain percentage (say 10%) of the open space be required to be on the ground level. Commissioner
O'Neil agreed and stated what he is missing is how this proposal fts into the overall vision for the city
K:�Planning Commission�2011�feeting Summary 02-22-12.doc
Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 July 18, 2012
center. He is concerned that not requiring a percentage of open space on the ground level could result in
the city center looking and feeling like a"closed compound." Ms. Shull replied that currently the code
does not require that residential open space be provided on the ground level. The proposed amendment is
not intended to address the issue of public open space, but rather private, residential open space (some of
which can be public open space).
Commissioner Bronson expressed concern that the option of a fee-in-lieu will not meet the intent of the
proposed code amendment to provide open space for the residents of the building. Other Commissioners
agreed with him. Ms. Shull explained that staff wanted to give developers the flexibility of the fee-in-lieu
in cases where they are not able to meet the open space requirement on-site. Mr. Conlen commented that
it is expected that developers will choose the fee-in-lieu option only as a last resort. Mr. Beckwith
commented that state law requires that fee-in-lieu payments provide a direct beneft to those making the
payment and that the funds be spent within fve years of receipt. The Commissioners agreed that this is
acceptable. �
Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was secondea� to recommend approval of the staff's
recommendation as stated on page 5 of the staff report. There was no further discussion. The motion
carried unanimously.
The public hearing was closed.

SUBJECT: City of Tacoma Department of Public UtiliNes, Water Division - Franchise Ordinance
BACKGROUND:
The City of Tacoma Department of Public Utility, Water Division (Tacoma Water) had an e�sting non-
exclusive franchise (Ordinance # 99-34) for the purpose of installation, operation and repair of water
systems located within their water service area in the City of Federal Way through June 24, 2009. In
2009 the City approved an amendment to the existing Franchise (Ordinance 09-165) extending the term to
June 24, 2010.
In 2010 the City Of Federal Way and Tacoma Water approved an amendment to the existing Franchise
(Ordinance 10-657), extending the term to remain in effect until six (6) month after the resolution of the
matter pending in the King County Superior Court Cause No. 09-2-45435-3. The court rendered a
decision eaxlier this year which required a new franchise to be negotiated and presented to the City
Council for approval. See attached copy of the proposed franchise ordinance.
The term of this Franchise is for a period of ten (10) years commencing on the effective date of this
Franchise consistent with franchises the City has granted to other utility provider.
The proposed Franchise ordinance also addresses the fire hydrant cost issue. Tacoma Water will bear full
responsibility for Public Fire Protection and any associated costs and will not assess those costs against
the City. In exchange, the City will forego the imposition of a franchise fee or utility tax on Tacoma
Water in addition to the other benefits derived from this franchise.
Additional issues that were added and /or further clarified in this franchise Ordinance are:
• System abandonment
• System General Maintenance
• Franchisee duty for relocation of its facilities
• Termination of Easements in the existing and/or future right of way
Tacoma Water agrees to pay a fee or a charge in the amount of $3,400 to recover the actual reasonable
administrative expenses incurred by the City that are directly related to preparing and approving this
Franchise.
