D. Commute Trip Program Implementation Agreement with King County
Senior Transportation Planning Engineer Long presented a brief history on the program
including program requirements, employers in Federal Way that are effected by the
program, statistics on current modes of transportation and the history of our contract with
King County for implementing the program. Staff feels this is a cost effective agreement.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

E. Urban Agriculture Code Amendment
Senior Planner Janet Shull noted the full staff presentation was previously given to the
Committee at the October 7, 2013 LUTC meeting and that the purpose of bringing the topic
back tonight was to discuss revisions staff made to the farmers market definition based
on feedback from the previous meeting. Staff contacted several municipalities to get some
feedback about definitions that were being used elsewhere. Staff found that there was
a wide range of definitions but none seemed to fit well with the Farmers Market operations
in Federal Way. Modifications to the definition included specifying the type of products sold
over the course of the year, adding more language addressing the types of items that can
be sold in addition to food - related products, calculating the vendor ratio based on the
number of vendors instead of the width of saleable space and specifying that community
events are not typically counted as market vendors.
Committee forwarded Option #2 as presented.
Moved: Burbidge Seconded: Noble - Gulliford Passed: Unanimously, 3 -0
