4. OTHER
Surface Water Manager Will Appleton presented information on this item. Mr. Appleton
stated the vactor contract with the provider originally contracted for services has been
terminated with cause due to non-responsiveness, utilizing equipment within the city that
is not properly maintained. He further stated that it is essential for the City to have a
vactor service provider on contract in order to meet the NPDES permit requirements. Chair
Celski wondered if the contract language allowed the City to assess any penalties to the
former provider for time, energy or resources lost. Mr. Appleton stated he is not aware
of language allowing for resource recovery but the contract language does allows either
party to terminate the contract with notice.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

Passed: Unanimously, 3-0
City Traffic Engineer Perez provided a summary of the Six Year Transportation

cannot be handled administratively.
Discussion continued regarding proposed improvements to some of the locations on the
plan as well as expected challenges and possible funding opportunities across county lines.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
June 17, 2013
To: Merle Pfeifer, Federal Way Planning Commission Chair
FROM: Patrick Doherty, Director of Community and Economic Development
Margaret H. Clark, AICP, Principal Planner
SuB1ECT: 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
MEETING DATE: 7une 24, 2013
I. BACKGROUND
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130(4), the City of Federal Way must update its comprehensive plan
every eight years. The deadline for the next major update is June 20I5. However, per Federal Way
Revised Code (FWRC) I9.80.050, the city has elected to review citizen-initiated requests on an
annual basis. As part of the annual review, the city may atso make changes to chapters and maps of
the comprehensive plan.
Federal Way adopted its comprehensive plan in 1995 and updated it in December 1998, December
2000, November 2001, March 2003, July 2004, June 2005, July 2007, June 2009, October 2010,
January 2011, and January 2013'. The Growth Management Act (GMA, RCW 36.70A130[2][a])
limits plan updates to no more than once per year, except under the following circumstances:
1. The initial adoption of a subarea plan that does not modify the comprehensive plan
policies and designations applicable to the subarea.
2. The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program.
3. The amendment of the capital facilities element of a comprehensive plan that occurs
concurrently with the adoption or amendment of a county or city budget.
4. The adoption of comprehensive plan amendments necessary to enact a planned action.
Except as otherwise provided above, the goveming body shall consider all proposals concurrently, so
the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained. However, after appropriate public
participation, a county or city may adopt amendments or revisions to its comprehensive plan that
�These amendments were approved in 2013, however, they were initiated in 201 I as part of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments, and are, therefore, not subject to the "once per year rule."
Pianning Commission Staff Report June 18, 2013
2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 18 Page 1 of 16
conform to this chapter whenever an emergency exists, or to resolve an appeal of a comprehensive
plan filed with a growth management hearings board or with the court.
�I. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive
plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
1. To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
2. To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meet the
criteria provided by FWRC.80140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3); and
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the
proposed comprehensive plan amendments.

Reason for the Request
The FWPS is requesting the comprehensive plan designation and rezone in preparation to
rebuild Federal Way High School. The existing school, built in 1953, is outdated and needs to
be rebuilt to better accommodate the needs of the students. Both the existing RS 7.2 zone and
the requested BC zoning allow schools; however, the BC zone allows more flexibility in terms
of development standards, e.g., setbacks from property lines.

Easter Lake is located approximately 170 feet to the south of the site and there is a Class II
wetland that borders the western shore of the lake. This wetland is approximately 375 feet
south of the site. Redevelopment is not expected to affect either the lake or wetlands.
Drainage
The request for a change in comprehensive plan and zoning designation is to facilitate the
rebuilding of Federal Way High School. The site is located within the Lower Puget Sound
Basin and Conservation Flow Controi Area. This site drains either partially or completely to
the Easter Lake Basin and is subject to the Enhanced Basic Water Quality (WQ) menu.3 Any
water-related impacts associated with future development must be mitigated in compliance
with the city-adopted 2009 King Coirnty Surfcrce Water Manual (KCSWM) and the City of
Pederal Way Addendum to the manual.
Access
As shown on Exhibits B and C, this parcel fronts on South 304`h Street to the south, South
308`�' Street to the north and 16`h Avenue South and Pacific Highway South to the east. The
site is presently accessed from both South 304`�' Street and South 308`" Street.
Potential Traffic Impacts
This is a non-project action associated with changing the comprehensive plan designation and
zoning from Single-Family — High Density Residential and Single-Family Residential (RS)
7.2 (one unit per 7,200 square feet) to Coznmunity Business (BC). The non-project action by
itself does not affect traffic. However, at the time that an application for a development permit
is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Transportation Concunency Analysis, which
will analyze peak hour impacts of the project to assure that there is adequate capacity to
accommodate the proposed development. Supplemental mitigation may be requirecl if the
proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the Transportation Improvement Plan
(TIP). Development proposals will also be subject to a traffic impact fee to address system
impacts. Site-specific analysis may also be required to address impacts outside of the evening
peak hour or safety issues.
Public Comments Received
No written public comments were received. However, several inquiries were received asking
for clarification of the request.

Reason for the Request
At the time that the city incorparated in February 1990, these parcels were zoned RS 7200
pursuant to King County Zoning, Title 21. This was a single family dwelling classification
with a minimum required lot area of 7,200 square feet. These pazcels were part of a larger area
annexed into the city in September 1994 with a zoning designation of CP-1 pursuant to a
Concomitant Pre-Annexation Zoning Agreement between Weyerhaeuser, who owned the
property at that time, and the City of Federal Way. The CP-1 zone was intended for property
that could be used as corporate headquarters. However, terms of the concomitant agreement
also stated that the Community and Economic Development Director could determine other
compatible uses in addition to those specifically permitted in that zone. The director did make
a finding that single family residential is a permitted use in the CP-1 zone in a March 26,
2012, correspondence (Exhibit G). The Summers have since purchased these two parcels for
residential purposes and would like the property to be rezoned to RS 9.6, which is consistent
with the existing adjacent zoning to the east.

Potential Traffic Impacts
This is a non-project action associated with changing the comprehensive plan designation and
zoning from Corporate Park (CP-1) to Single--Family High-Density Residential and RS 9.6
(one unit per 9,600 square feet). However, at the time that an application for a development
permit is submitted, the Traffic Division will conduct a Transportation Concurrency Analysis,
which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project to assure that there is adequate capacity to

Public Comments Received
No written public comments were received. One citizen gave public testimony at the April 1,

received requesting clarification of the request.
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.80.140 alvv 19.80.150
1. FWRC 19.80.140, Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plc�n Amendment — The city
may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
Request Response
Request #1— Federal This site is already developed with Federal Way High School and no
Way High School critical areas wiII be affected by its redevelopment. Community
Business zoning will a11ow the buildings to be placed closer to Pacific
Hiehway South. Redevelopment of the site must comply with city
regulations related to clearing, grading, drainage, and water quality.
Request #2 — Lakeview This site is already developed with an office building, which is used
Professional Building as a church. A multi-family designation would allow redevelopment
as apartments. No critical areas would be affected by redevelopment,
which would have to comply with city regulations related to clearing,
grading, drainage, and water quality.
Request #3 — Summers The site is comprised of two vacant parcels on the south end of North
Lake. There is a Class I Wetland with an associated 100-foot buffer
on the northeastem portion of the site. In addition, the parcels are
located within a Shoreline Residential Environment, which does not

Request � Response
permit construcrion of a residence within the first 50 feet of property
landward from the ordinary high water mark (Exhibit 1). Any
development of the site must comply with wetland and shoreline
regulations as well as regulations related to clearing, grading,
drainage, and water quality, similar to what would be required under
the existing CP-1 designation.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Staff Response — Please refer to responses under Section VI(1)(1) above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on acljacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
Request Response
Request #1— Federal There are single family residences adjacent to the Federal Way High
Way High School School on the west. The BC zoning regulations limits building height
to 30 feet if located within 100 feet of a residential zone. In addition, a
20-foot building setback is required from a residential zone. Under the
existing RS 7.2 zone, a 40-foot tall building could be built within 50
feet of the single family residences. Based on a conceptual plan
submitted for the rebuilding of the high school, the existing stadium,
which sits beriveen the single family residences to the west and the
high school building, will be retained (Exhibit J). Moreover, the school
is proposed to be rebuilt in essentially the same location but cioser to
the eastern property line (Exhibit K). As a result, there should be no
impact on the adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
Request #2 — Lakeview A multi-family building on this parcel would be compatible with the
Professional Building adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods as there are existing
muiti-family buildings to the east, west, and further to the south.° In
addition, there should be no impacts on adjacent land uses and
surrounding neighborhoods as any redevelopment of the site wouid be
subject to future review for compliance with all codes, including the
Community Design Guidelines.
Request #3 — Summers The applicant is requesting the same comprehensive plan designation
and zoning as the parcels to the east; therefore, the request for RS 9.6
zoning, if granted, would allow single family residences, which would
be compatible with the existing single family uses. The parcels to the
west are vacant and are zoned CP-1. The CP-1 designation is intended
for property that could be used as corporate headquarters. However,
terms of the concomitant agreement, which granted the CP-1 zoning
designation, state that the Community and Economic Development
Director can determine other compatible uses in addition to those
specifically permitted in that zone. The director did make a finding that
single family residential is a permitted use in the CP-1 zone in a March
26, 2012, correspondence (Exhibit G). Therefore, single family
residences on the subject site would be compatible with adjacent land

uses and sunounding neighborhoods and would not have a negative
impact on them.
(4) The adeqi�acy of c�nd impact on community facilities including a�tilities, roads, public
transportc�tion, parks, recreation, and schools.
Request Response
Request #1— Federal The request is for a change in designation from BC to Single-Family
Way High School Residential with the goal of rebuilding the high school. All public
services are available to the site. Public roads border the site on the
north, south, and east, and bus service is available along Pacific
Highway South. There aze a wide variety of recreational opportunities
in the vicinity and rebuilding the high school will have a positive
impact on schools by replacing an outdated facility with a modem one.
Request #2 — Lakeview The site is developed and all utilities are available to the site. The
Professional Building parcel has two frontages, South 308`�' Street to the north and 14`�
Avenue South to the east, with its access off of 14`� Avenue South. All
public services are also available to this site and bus service is
available along Pacific Highway South, which is one block to the east.
There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the Federal
Way area and if this site is developed as multi-family, it will be
required to provide 400 square feet of open space per dwelling unit.
Impacts on schools should be mitigated by the payment of a school
impact fee of $1,450 per dwelling unit.
Request #3 — Summers The subject site is comprised of two parcels and is presently vacant.
All public services are available and the parcels have access to South
337`h Street to the south. There are a wide variety of recreational
opportunities in the vicinity and the North Lake Fishing Access, which
has a boat launch and fishing pier, is located at the north end of North
Lake. If the site is developed with single family homes in the future,
impacts on schools should be mitigated by the payment of a school
impact fee of $4,215 per dwelling unit.
(S) The benefit to the neighborhoocl, city, and region.
Request � Response
Request #1— Federal Federal Way High School was constructed in 1953. The School
Way High School District states that the building is severely outdated and rebuilding of
the school is necessary to continue to provide a high-quality learning
env'uonment for Federal Way students. The requested BC zoning
designation would provide more flexibility in terms of setbacks and
height for the new high school as discussed under Section VI(1)(3).
The Federal Way voters approved a bond specifically for the purpose
of rebuilding the high school in 2012. Therefore, granting the BC
designation would benefit the neighborhood, city, and region.
IRequest #2 — Lakeview I Designation of the site as multiple-family would allow redevelopment
Planning Commission Staff Report June 18, 2013
2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2'7 Page 10 of 16
Request Response
Professional Building with multi-family units consistent with adjacent land uses, which
would be of benefit to the neighborhood, as well as adding to the city's
housing options and tax base.
Request #3 — Summers As deternuned by the Director of Community and Economic
Development, these two parcels could be developed for single-family
residential uses under the CP-1 zoning. However, changing the
designation to single-famiiy residential would preclude any non-
residential development on these parcels and would protect the
existing residential single-family neighborhood from incompatible uses
locating adjacent to them. Therefore, changing the designation to
single-family residential would benefit the neighborhood.
(6) The quantity and locc�tion of lanc� pinnneci for the proposed land use type anci clensity and
the demanc� for si�ch land.
Request Response
Request #1 — Federal Approval of the requested $C comprehensive pIan designation and
Way High Schooi zoning wouid allow the rebuilding of the high school and would not
affect the land use or density of the site. As shown in Exhibit K, the
school is proposed to be rebuilt in essentially the same location.
Reqa�est #2 — Lakeview Recent trends in housing reveal that many baby boomers (between 46
Professional Building and 54 years of age) are looking to downsize from larger homes and
echo boomers (children of baby boomers, between 17 and 31 years of
age) are entering the housing market mostly as renters. Many want a
green, carefree lifestyle, while having the convenience of public transit
and being close to friends and activities. Therefore, there appears to be
a demand for multi-family housing in urbanized areas such as this.
Development of the site as multi-family would be consistent with this
trend.
Request #3 — Summers The request to have these parcels designated residential would result in
an additional 1.05 acres of residentially zoned land. Although four
units could be built on the site based on RS 9.6 zoning, it is likely that
only two units could be built due to the presence of wetlands and
location within the shoreline jurisdiction (Exhibit I). Because of its
frontage on North Lake, the lots should be desirable for development
of single family residential uses
(7) The ci�rrent ancl projectecl population density in the area.
Request Response
Request #1— Federal The redevelopment of the site as a high school will not affect cunent
Way High School or projected population density in the area.
Request #2 — Lakeview Changing the designation of this site from Professional Office to multi-
Professional Building family (RM 1800) zoning would allow a maximum of 22 units on the
site at a density of 24 units per acre.
Planning Commission Staff Report June 18, 2013
2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 28 Page 11 of 16
Request + Response
Request #3 — Summers The existing zoning of the residential units to the east is RS 9.6, which
is 4.5 units per acre. The majority of these houses were built prior to
the city's incorporation in 1990, and the density appears to be less than
4.5 units per acre. It is unlikely that the subject parcel will be able to
achieve a density of 4.5 units per acre based on the presence of
wetlands and being located within the shoreline jurisdiction (Exhibit 1).
(8) The effecl upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
StaffResponse — Granting the three site-specific requests should not affect other aspects of
the comprehensive plan.
2. FWRC 19.80.150, Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan — The city may amend the
comprehensive plan only if it fmds that:
(1) The proposecl amenc�ment bears a si�bstantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Request Response
Request #1 — Federal The proposed amendment would facilitate the rebuilding of the Federal
Way High School Way High School to better serve the students, and would address any
building code issues that may exist without any detrimental impact to
nearby residents. Therefore, it bears a substantial relationship to public
health, safety, or welfare.
Reqa�est #2 — Lakeview Designating these parcels as multiple-family complies with the
Professional Building comprehensive plan goal LUG4 of providing a wide range of housing
types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and
preferences, and thus bears a substantial reiationship to public health,
safety, and welfare.
Request #3 — Summers Changing the designation from CP-1 to Single Family Residential does
not affect public health, safety, or welfare as residentiai uses are
allowed under either the CP-1, or RS 9.6 zoning. Having the RS 9.6
zoning does, however, give predictability to the future development of
the lots related to bulk and dimensional standards.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
StaffResponse — Please see responses under Sections VI (1)(5) and VI(2)(1).
(3) The proposec� amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36. 70A ancl with the
portion of the city's adopted plan not affectecl by the amenciments.
Staff Response — The proposed site-specific requests are consistent with the following goals
of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020(2) of the Growth Management Act:
"(i) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate
Planning Commission Staff Report June 18, 2013
2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Z 9 Page 12 of 16
public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient
manner.
(ii) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land
into sprawling, low-density development.
(iii) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic
segments of the population of this state, promote a variety of residential
densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing
housing stock."
The amendments are also consistent with goals and policies of the land use, housing, and
economic development chapters of the city's comprehensive plan.
VII. Com�L��vcE wlTx FWRC 19.75130(3)
Site-specific requests are also required to be evaluated for compliance with this section.
1) The city may approve the application only if it fmds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the ciry.
StaffResponse — Please see responses under Sections VI(1)(5) and VI(2)(1).
b. The proposed request is appropriate becc�use either:
(i) Conditions in the immediate viciniry of the subject property have so significantly
changec� since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed
conditions, c� change in designation is within the public interest; or
(ii) The chc�nge in designation will correct a clesignation that was inappropriate when
established.
Request Response
Request #1— Federal The school was built in 1953 under King County zoning. Prior to
Way High School the city's incorporation in February 1990, this site was zoned RS-
7200, which was single--family residential. Upon incorporation,
the city adopted similar zoning for this parcel. It is unknown how
the 1953 King County Zoning Code regulated schools. However,
the existing Federal Way Single-Family Zoning regulations are not
flexible enough to aliow a seamless rebuild of the high school.
Thus, the amendment may correct an inappropriate designation.
Request #2 — Lakeview This building was built in 1971 pursuant to the King County code
Professional Building in effect at that time. At the time of incorporation, the King
County zoning for this parcel was RM-900. In addition to multi-
family uses, the RM-900 designation allowed professional offices,
such as medical and dental. Upon incorporation, the city adopted
the Professional Office (PO) designation for this parcel and those
Planning Commission Staff Report June 18, 2013
2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3p Page 13 of 16
Request Response
to the south, which were developed as offices. The PO designation
does not allow multi-famity uses. Although, the PO designation
was not inappropriate when established, it does not allow for the
wider range of uses as the previous King County RM-900 zoning.
Request #3 — Summers These two lots were designated CP-1 when annexed as part of the
lazger Weyerhaeuser annexation in 1994. Conditions may have
changed since Weyerhaeuser no longer wished to retain ownership
of these parcels for corporate use. The Summers purchased the
lots from Weyerhaeuser in October 2012 with the intent of future
rasidential use.
c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Request Response
Request #1—Federal Way Changing the designation of this parcel to BC would be consistent
High School with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan, which states that
the BC designation encompasses two major retaiUcommercial areas
along the SR-99 corridor, including the segment between South
2�2aa Street and South 312`h Street, and the segment between South
324`h Street and approxunately South 339'j` Street. This parcel lies
between South 272"d Street and South 312`h Street.
Request #2 — Lakeview Changing the designation of this parcel to multi-family would be
Professional Building consistent with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan, which
states that the multi-family residential land use designation
represents an opportunity to provide a range of housing types to
accommodate anticipated residential growth. The increase in
population, decline in average family size, and increased cost of
single-family homes have created heavy demand for new housing
types.
Request #3 — Summers Changing the designation of this parcel to single--family would be
consistent with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan, which
states that the demand for and development of single-family housing
is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Single-family
development will occur as in-fill development of vacant lots
scattered throughout existing neighborhoods and as subdivisions on
vacant tracts of land.
d. It is consistent with all czpplicable provisions of the chapter, incic�ding those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan.
Staff Response —The redevelopment of the Federal Way High School and the Lakeview
Professional Building sites, and development of the Summers' parcels would be required
to comply with all city regulations, including those adopted by reference from the
comprehensive plan.
Planning Commission Staff Report June l8, 2013

This letter is a fo(tow up to our meeting of January 12, 2012, regarding parcel numbers 4420600030 &
4420600025. T'hese parcels are zoned Corporate Park t(CP-1). You have expressed an interest in
purchasing these parceis from the Weyerhaeuser Corporation with the intent of potentially using them for
residentiat purposes. You further indicated your interest in compteting a Comprehensive Plan amendment
to change the Comprehensive Flan designation and zoning of the property to Single-Family High-Density
and RS9.6 respectively. �
The city is supportive of your request. In that you would like to purchase the property soon and amending
the Comprehensive Plan and zoning map is a lengthy process, we discussed an alternative that would give
you confidence to move forward with the real estate transaction in the near future. That alternative is for
the city to find that single-family residential use is a permitted use in the CP-1 zoning district.
Pursuant to the Corporate Park Zone Concomitant A�reement, Exhibit C, Section VII(A)(14), [ find that
single-family residentiat use is a permitted use in the CP-1 zoning district. The use is compatible with
other uses permitted in the CP-1 zone, especially �iven the location of the subject parcels abutting single-
family zoning and uses to the east, abutting a clubhouse building slightly to the west, and the lake to the
no�th.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. t can be reached at 253-835-2612 or

PUS[,IC �IE�wNG — 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Principal Planner Clark delivered the staff report. There are no proposed changes to the text of the
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City
Council on three citizen-initiated site-specific requests. Site-Specific Request #1 is for the Federal Way
High School, to change the zoning from Single-Family Residential (RS) 7.2 to Community Business
(BC). Site-Specific Request #2 is for the Lakeview Professional Building, to change the zoning from
Professional Office (PO) to Multi-Family Residential (RM) 1800. Site-Specific Request #3 is for the
Summers property, to change the zoning from Corporate Park (CP-1) to RS 9.6. The city has not received
any public comment on the requests. The meeting was opened for public testimony.
Kate Baz�mann, Greene Gasaway Architects — She is here representing the Federal Way
School District. Her comments are in response to questions asked by Chair Pfeifer. The
district is anticipating building part of the new school up to three stories, and therefore, needs

Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 June 24, 2013
to have a higher height allowance. It is possible the theater will also need to be three stories.
They also do not have a specific plan yet for how close the school will be to Pacific Highway
South, but they feel it is important for the school to be close in order to establish a presence
on this important road.
Commissioner Long asked in regards to the Summers (site #3) request if the city had spoken to anyone
from the Lake Management group. Principal Planner Clark replied the only comment they heard from
them was not related to the specific request. Commissioner O'Neil noted that the Summers request was
made in early 2012 and asked why has it taken so long to appear before the Commission. Principal Planner
Clark replied that by state law, the city may consider changes to the comprehensive plan only once a year
and the Summers' request missed the deadline for 2012 (the deadline was September 30, 201 l, for the
coming year). She further explained that the city has only 1.5 FTE to work on Long Range Planning. In
early 2013 she worked on finishing up the 2012 comprehensive plan amendments. There are a number of
reports that must be made to the state that she also worked on in early 2013. The comprehensive plan
amendments must go frst go to the City Council to be selected, and then through the SEPA process.
Commissioner Bronson noted that the parcels along the lake to the west of the subject site are zoned CP-1
and are not part of this request and asked if the city has considered adding them. Principal Planner Clark
replied they are still owned by Weyerhaeuser, who has not expressed any interest in changing the zoning.
Commission O'Neil moved (and it was secondec� to recommend adoption of the three site-specific
requests for amendments to the Fecleral Way Comprehensive Plan as written. There was no further
discussion and the motion carried.
