It was m/s/c to amend the agenda by adding Item E, Briefing on 288th Access, which will be an informational briefing by Public Works Director Cary Roe. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The summary minutes of the April 5, 2004, meeting was approved as presented. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT Rod Leland, Federal Way School District Facilities Director, commented that the School District supports a connection between Pacific Highway South and 9th Avenue South. The District is considering consolidating school facilities on the land that they are interested in this area and feel that a connection utilizing 332nd would work best for their proposed project. He gave the Committee a copy of a map showing the parcels they are considering and how a connection utilizing 332n° would work. The plans they have are conceptual at this stage, but they would like a commitment from the City that a connection will be planned between Pacific Highway South and 9th Avenue South. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS A. 51st Avenue SW Storm Drain Improvements - Final Project Acceptance & Authorization to Release Retainage- This project has been completed at a cost below the expected cost. The Committee m/s/c the staff recommendation to place on the May 4,2004, City Council Consent Agenda, acceptance of the 51st Avenue SW Storm Drain Improvements Construction Contract (AG No. 03-111), constructed by R. L. Alia, Company, in the amount of 43,400.65 as complete, and authorize staff to release the retainage. B. West Hylebos Creek Restoration Project Bid Award - The bid came in below estimate and the contractor has assured the City they can do the work for amount stated. The Committee m/s/c the staff recommendation to place on the May 4,2004, City Council Consent Agenda to award the West Hylebos Creek Restoration Project to Jansen Inc., the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in the amount of $449,648.10 and approve a 10% construction contingency of $44,964,81 for a total ot $494,612.91; and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. C. 23'd Avenue South Road Improvements Project - Final Project Acceptance & Retainage Release - This project was completed in late 2002. It is coming before the LUTC now due to disputes that have been resolved. The Committee m/s/c the staff recommendation to place on the May 4,2004, Council Consent Agenda acceptance of the 23'd Avenue South Road Improvements Project (South 316th to South 324th Street), constructed by DPK, Inc., in the amount of $5,471,895.86 as complete. D. Alternative Cross Sections for Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Phase III Project - Council Member Dovey recused himself from this issue because he has property in the area. Council Member Park chaired this portion of the meeting. The City has completed the first phase of the Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Project with the second phase currently under construction, and the third phase in preliminary design. In the first two phases, the project was designed consistent with Cross Section A of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Numerous existing developments encroach into the right-ot-way required to construct Cross Section A. To minimize project impacts to adjacent businesses, the City made minor modifications to this cross section, reduced the right-ot-way purchased, andlor made some minor modifications during right-of-way negotiations. Based on several ot the right-of-way acquisitions and the impacts of implementing Cross Section A in Phases I and II, the Council requested that staff review the possibility of reducing the width of Pacific Highway K:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2004\Apnt 19. 2004, LUTC Mlnutes.doc South Cross Section A and to present their recommendations to the City Council for consideration. In response, staff has developed two Cross Section alternatives. The proposed alternative, Cross Section A-1 (beginning on the west side of the highway), plan elements include a three-foot utility strip, six-foot sidewalk, four and one-half foot planter strip, three lanes in each direction (a 14-foot HOV lane, an 11-foot outside general purpose lane, and a 12-foot inside general purpose lane), a 12-foot landscaped median, a four and one-half foot planter strip, an eight-foot sidewalk, and a three-foot utility strip. Cross Section A-2 plan elements would be identical to Cross Section A-1, except the planter strip on the west side of Pacific Highway South would be eliminated, With Cross Section A-2, the magnitude of right-of-way impacts on business would be the same as Cross Section A-1, but there would be no separation between pedestrians and traffic; a loss of aesthetic continuity with the WSDOT project to the north and the Pacific Highway HOV Lanes Phases I & II; and there would be less space to locate stormwater treatment facilities and underground utilities on the west side of the roadway. Even if Cross Section A-1 or A-2 is adopted, there will be some sections of Pacific Highway South that will not have planter strips because they would ne~atively impact the businesses; namely at Dash Point Road, next to the Nextel building, and at the Shell gas station at 288 . The Committee asked if it would be possible to decrease the size of the landscape median. Mr. Salloum replied that a smaller landscape median is possible, but it would not provide enough room for left-hand turn pockets and would not be large enough to plant trees in. The Committee m/s/c the staff recommendation to place on the May 4,2004, City Council Consent Agenda direction to staff to utilize Alternative Cross Section A-1 in designing the Pacific Highway South HOV lanes Phase III Project and make planter strip modifications to the cross section at specific locations, to avoid impacts on businesses. E. Briefing on 288th Access - At the April 6, 2004, City Council meeting, staff was directed to consider alternatives for this project. Staff will present this proposal at the April 20, 2004, City Council meeting. The major issue is sight distance. For vehicles turning left from 288tlí into the Shell ~as station site, there are two obstructions on Pacific Highway South that make it difficult to see cars turning right onto 288 . These two obstructions are the Shell sign and the signal controller cabinet. The staff's proposal is for the owner (at his expense) to move the Shell sign in line with the controller cabinet so there is only one obstruction. A gap will be made in the c-curb for left turns into the site. In addition, there will be signage to prohibit left turns out of the driveways for the Shell station, animal hospital, and check cashing business. Staff recommends they monitor and evaluate this situation for six months. The Committee asked if the previous discussion on the Cross Section would require that the owner move the sign a second time? Mr. Roe responded that the owner would not be required/requested to move the sign more than once. The Committee asked what is the threshold for the six-month monitoring period? Mr. Roe replied that the staff have not considered all aspects of this proposal and would be prepared to respond to this question at tomorrow's Council meeting. Since this project is almost completed, and the proposal is contingent upon the owner moving the sign, it was recommended that the owner be given a certain date by which the sign must be moved and if not, a gab in the c-curb for the left turn access will not be granted. 5. FUTURE MEETING The next scheduled meeting is May 3, 2004. 6. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. K:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2004\April19, 2004, LUTC Minutes doc ~ CITY OF yc""" """Wt#i'i!ß' Federal Way MEMORAMDUM April 26, 2004 To: Jack Dovey, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) David ~anagcr Isaac Conlen, Associate Planner VIA: FROM: SUBJECT: Annexation into Pierce County MEETING DATE: May 3rd, 2004 I. BACKGROUND This memorandum is in response to City Council's request for staff to look into the feasibility of annexing an unincorporated area in Pierce County as shown on the attached map. This area is located within Tacoma's Urban Growth Area (UGA). This memorandum will discuss process, timing! and cost of accomplishing annexations in Pierce County. II. PROCESS A. Pre-Annexation Steps Based on conversations with Pierce County staff, there is nothing in the Pierce County policies or regulations that would prohibit the City of Federal Way from annexing areas within Pierce County, i.e., it is not necessary to extend Federal Way's Potential Annexation Area (P AA) into Pierce County prior to annexation. Staff recommends, however, that we extend the Federal Way P AA (in Pierce County this is referred to as a UGA) into the area we intend to annex. Staff recommends the following steps 1. Initiate discussion with City of Tacoma. Again, this is not required, but because the area in question is within Tacoma's UGA, we recommend coordinating with City of Tacoma Officials as a courtesy. 2. Request Pierce County Comprehensive Plan amendment. The purpose of amendments to the Pierce County Comprehensive Plan would be to modify the County's UGA boundaries to include a Federal Way UGA. Eitherthe Pierce County Executive or County Council must request this amendment. The deadline for submittal of an amendment request is December 1, 2004. I At this point we do not have enough infonnation to provide a timeline for pre-annexation steps. The time line for these actions is tied to the timing of the Pierce County and Federal Way Comprehensive Plan amendment cycles, which will be processed beginning in 2005. 3. Process Federal Way Comprehensive Plan amendments to identify new UGA, and address County- Wide Planning Policies for Pierce County. Amendments to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan would establish a UGA in the subject area, address the County Wide Planning Policies of Pierce County and address any policy issues specific to the new area. B. Annexation Process F or the purposes of providing a rough timeline, we have assumed the election method of annexation will be utilized (method proposed for pending North Lake, Redondo and S.W. Parkway annexations). The timeline shown does not include a Boundary Review Board public hearing (which we understand is infrequently required). If a hearing is required this could add 60-120 days to the timeline. Also note, several other annexation methods are available.2 ELECTION METHOD OF ANNEXATION Flow Chare (Pierce County) City submits legal description of annexation area to Pierce County Boundary Review Board (BRB) for preliminary review. (14-21 days) ~ City Council adopts resolution initiating annexation (2-days) ¡ City files Notice of Intent (NOI) to annex w/ BRB (2-days) ~ BRB reviews submittal (45-50 days) ¡ City Council selects election date - Set by Pierce County Council (Minimum of 60-days) 2 The petition and double petition method of annexation are both available to citizens interested in initiating an annexation. The island method may be available depending on the final boundary of the annexation area. 3 The time shown in parenthesis in each box is an estimate of time elapsed between the action shown in that box and the action shown in the following box. Page 2 Election held (7 -days) ~ County Canvassing Board submits statement of canvass (14-days) ~ If approved by voters City Council adopts ordinance providing for annexation (60-180 days) ~ Notice to state and annexation area survey (Complete) ~ Total time elapsed from start of annexation to completion is between 200-335 days.

POTENTIAL BOUNDARIES OF AREA TO BE INCLUDED Map I (attached) shows the unincorporated areas of northeast Pierce County located adjacent to City of Federal Way boundaries. V. EXPERIENCE OF OTHER CITIES WITH P AA's IN DIFFERENT COUNTIES Several communities within the Puget Sound region have municipal boundaries that are located in two separate county jurisdictions. Examples of cities with this type of jurisdictional governance include Algona, Auburn, Bothell, Milton, and Pacific. Staff contacted several of these cities to understand how municipal governance or operations change in a two-county jurisdiction. The following will provide the LUTC with an overview of the experience other cities have had in administering municipal operations in a two-county jurisdiction. . Duplication of Reporting: A normal part of municipal operations is the preparation of studies and reporting of data to numerous state, county, and regional agencies. Examples of these studies or reporting is the yearly Buildable Lands Study, which requires analysis of the amount of vacant and redevelopable land, as well as achieved densities within a city's jurisdiction; the preparation of yearly population estimates to the State Office of Financial Management (OFM); and the yearly Benchmark Reports to the respective counties. A municipality with corporate boundaries residing in two counties will typically be required to prepare separate reports and studies for each portion of their city, in this case one to King County and Page 4 one to Pierce County. Often times, staff members must use specific methodologies from different counties in preparing these studies or reports. Many staff members from the above-noted municipalities stated that the preparation of these separate reports or studies adds a significant amount of time and effort to an already difficult process. . Representation in County and Regional Organizations: City of Federal Way staff and elected officials currently provide representation on numerous King County boards and commissions. The City of Federal Way also actively participates in numerous regional organizations and boards that involve King County. Active participation in these organizations and boards helps facilitate regional cooperation among neighboring municipalities, while ensuring representation of City of Federal Way interests. If the City of Federal Way were to expand its corporate boundaries into areas of Pierce County, City staff and elected officials would be expected to actively participate on boards or commissions within Pierce County and provide representation on regional organizations involving Pierce County. Many staff members from the above-noted municipalities stated that keeping abreast of the issues within two counties, and providing representation on boards and commissions within two counties, has added a significant amount oftime and effort. VII. LAND UsE/TRANSPORT A nON COMMITTEE RECOMMENDA nON The Committee has the following options: Recommend that the City Council give staff direction to initiate discussion with City of Tacoma and begin research and preparation of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Direct staff to do no further research on this issue.

Bucich, P.E., ~rfaœ Water Mana@-----~ David H. ~ ~nager RFB 04-110; Kwer Extension Bellacarnio Woods Bid Rejection/Request to Re-Bid BACKGROUND: A total of eight bids were opened for this project on AprilS, 2004. The apparent low bidder, Americon, Inc., has requested authorization to withdraw their bid claiming that it did not include Washington State sales tax in accordance with the contract specifications. The contract required that sales tax be included in the individual unit prices, not as a lump sum pay item. Upon review of the eight bids, four appear to have included sales tax per the specifications, three added it as a lump sum item, and the last bidder did not complete the bid total sheet, only the unit prices sheet. SWM and legal staff have reviewed the contract documents to determine if the bid protest is justified. While it is our opinion that the contract language is clear, evidence indicates that there was uncertainty on the part of four or five of the eight bidders regarding the application of sales tax. Therefore, staff recommends rejecting all bids and re-advertising the project after adding clarifying language regarding state sales tax. Staff is not recommending award of the project to any other bidders for the following reasons: . the second lowest bidder incorrectly added sales tax as a lump sum the third bidder did not enter a total bid amount on the bid form the fourth bidder's total amount exceeded the authorized construction budget. . . Council previously authorized a construction budget of $77,981, including a 20% contingency. Based on the actual bids received, staff has increased the engineer's estimate by approximately $12,000, the average of the lowest three bids reflected below. Staff has decreased the construction contingency to 10% as there now is a bid history available to verify costs. PROJECT FUNDING: The project is to be funded as follows: Project Estimated Expenditures: Construction Estimate 10% Construction Contingency Sales tax @ 8.8% TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS Current $75,965 7,597 6,685 $90,247 1,200 200 $91,647 Advertising Revision of Documents TOTAL PROJECT COSTS AVAILABLE FUNDING: Previous (59,728) (11,946) (6,307) ($77,981) (1,000) (1,000) ($79,981) This project is funded through the SWM Utility Capital Facility Program. The original cost estimate for development of the SW 356th Street Regional Stormwater Control Facility did not set aside specific monies for construction of a sanitary sewer line. Staff anticipates returning to Council for future allocation of funding to complete land acquisition, legal proceedings, and construction of fencing around the facility. Staff anticipates re-bidding the sanitary sewer project in late May 2004 and awarding the project in July 2004. Construction would commence in late July 2004 with an estimated substantial completion date in August 2004. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the Committee place the following project recommendations on the May 18, 2004 City Council Consent Agenda: 1. Reject all bids received on April 5, 2004 for the RFB 04-110 Bellacarino Woods Sewer Extension Project. (Located in the vicinity of SW 356th Street and 6th Ave SW.) 2. Authorize SWM staff to re-bid the project and return to the City Council for authorization to award the project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within available funding. ~> APPROVAL'OF COMMITTEE REPORT:~!'{~ "'\~¡":""";~'J~~!i;: ~;""~""'¡::""<I:'t, : ,i:'f ':'::'r::'~~~~:~"!;i!i:~{r~¡:;~,\~, , ' , . !:.:Jâc~ Dovey, ¡,C"'air::~ d~~t'r: :;":,~/¡¡I,~i,;~:~,~,.¡;~~;~',!~:~:"",+,, \".. cc: Project Ale Central Ale Unit Bid Tabulations Cost Estimate CITY OF FEDERAL WAY RFB 04-110 Sewer Extension Project- Bellacarino Woods --,--- , Engineer's .

Perez, City Traffic Engineer þJ\ [~') Sarady Long, Traffic Engi~er David H, Mose~n~er Trip Reduction Performance Incentive for Federal Way Employers TO: VIA: SUBJECT: BACKGROUND: Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law was adopted by the 1991 Legislature and incorporated into the Washington Clean Air Act as RCW 70.94.521 through 70.94.551. Its intent is to improve air quality and reduce fuel consumption and traffic congestion through employer-based programs by encouraging the use of alternatives to single occupant vehicle (SOV) for the commute trip. The trip reduction performance incentive program is a six-month demonstration program proposal from King County Metro. The performance incentive program is designed to reduce commute traffic within the City by converting SOV commuters to other commuting options such as carpools, vanpools, transit, etc. In addition, the program is expected to increase the success of current CTR programs and introduces trip-reduction strategies to smaller employers not affected by the CTR law. This would be the first ever demonstration program aiming at employers not affected by CTR program. The incentive program is geared toward major employers with 50 or more employees. Key element of the incentive program is a cash incentive reward to employees and employers for their help in reducing SOV commuting trips. For employers willing to provide monthly subsidies of at least $50 per month, Metro will match 3: 1 the value of an employer's first two voucher orders of subsidy (75% Metro/25% employer), then 50/50 for the next two orders. There is a maximum cap of $8,000 per employer through 2005. Additionally, Metro will match 50/50 an employer's first year of guaranteed ride home participation. Employers will also benefit from this program, because Metro will pay each employer $250 for every trip reduced. For additional information, please see attached draft Trip Reduction Pelformance Incentive proposal from King County Metro.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND In April 1999, the City received a request to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of three parcels in the vicinity of the southwest quadrant of the intersection of South 336th Street and Pacific Highway South, from Business Park (BP) to Community Business (Be). In June 1999, the Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTe) recommended the request be further analyzed and recommended that all parcels in the vicinity currently zoned BP be included in the request. On November 5, 2001, the LUTC directed staff to draft a development agreement based on a "village concept" for the approximately 41-acre site that would include a mix of residential and commercial uses (Exhibit 1). In March 2003, at the applicant's request, approximately 13 acres of BP-zoned property located west of the 41-acre site on the south side of South 336th Street, was added to the proposal by the City Council. The City Council approved a comprehensive plan map amendment and zoning map change to Multiple-Family Residential (RM-2400) for the 13-acre site, subject to it being included with the Kitts Corner development agreement and development plan. The applicant has recently presented to City staff an updated conceptual site plan and elevation schematics for the total 54-acre Kitts Corner development agreement (Exhibits 2 and 3). Due to the extended length of time since this proposal was originally presented to the City Council and LUTC, City staff is requesting input from the LUTC regarding the development plan and the plan's relationship to concepts of the development agreement outline previously reviewed by the LUTe. No formal action is requested at this time. II. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT In 2001, a draft development agreement outline for the Kitts Corner project was prepared and presented to the property owners and LUTC. Due to the lapse of time since the LUTC was last briefed on the project, it is appropriate to update the LUTC on the content of the draft development agreement and development plan, before the applicant and City initiate the next steps of the project design and review. Below is a summary of the draft outline and bullet points that provide the framework for the Kitts Corner development agreement and development plan as drafted in 2001. The LUTC previously directed that the development plan be based on a concept that promotes the following: . A cohesive design concept. . A mix of housing and commercial services. . Entries and windows oriented to internal streets and/or connections. . Primary entrances to buildings should be clearly visible or recognizable from the right-of-way. . Preservation of trees and natural vegetation to the maximum-extent practical. . Pedestrian orientation of buildings. . Pedestrian connectivity. . Functional pedestrian-scale interior grid system. . Pedestrian amenities such as seating, generous landscaping, water fountains, banners or other ornamentation, art, and outdoor dining. . Public open space and plazas. . Minimize linear strip development by massing buildings and uses; however, an anchor tenant may be located apart from the other buildings. . Internal street grid system. .

It is the intent that this outline will be the basis for a complete DA, including the master Development Plan. The following responses are provided as requested by City of Federal Way staff to further explain how the current site plan conforms/responds to each of the specific concept elements listed in Item F of the draft outline of the DA: F. .

The configuration of the buildings, access locations, and plaza areas promote pedestrian activity with convenient connections between and within residential and commercial areas. Portions of the remaining open space and wetland buffer areas are to include passive and active recreation spaces. View corridors have been incorporated into the plan to maintain visual opportunities to the expanse of native area throughout the central portion of the site. The site plan accommodates the necessary parking with a massing of buildings and separated parking lots avoid an overwhelming expanse of parking lots. This plan provides a cohesive design concept with convenient access to commercial areas, integration of residential and pedestrian facilities, and preservation of significant native open space. EXH I B IT L( PAGE-LOF ..3- Mr. Richard Wilson Kitts Corner, Otak Project No. 3037] April]9, 2004 Page 2 of3 A mix of housing and commercia] services The proposed site plan for Kitts Corner supports a mix of housing and commercial services through a Village Center concept. The current site configuration provides the potential for additional commercial office or housing units over proposed retail space along the "Main Street". Parking for additional office or housing uses would be provided via below-grade structured parking. However, market conditions must be recognized and will likely determine the actual mix of uses within the proposed BC portion of the site. The western (proposed RM-2400) portion of the property is currently configured to support up to 160 townhome units with on"site active recreation space. The current site program is intended to provide development density and flexibility that directly responds to current commercial and residential market demands. . Entries and windows oriented to internal streets and/or connections The current site plan encourages the siting of building entries and windows toward internal streets and connections. This concept includes an emphasis on a pedestrian- oriented streetscape and is further illustrated in the architectural renderings provided with the current site plan for the project. The proposed site plan promotes the concept of zero setback building facades at sidewalks which provides street-front windows and entries. . Primary entrances to buildings should be clearly visible or recognizable from the right"of- way The proposed pedestrian oriented streetscapes, building massing, driveway access locations, Main Street plazas, and view corridors of the current site plan make the primary commercial building entrances clearly recognizable from internal streets. Preservation of trees and natural vegetation to the maximum extent practical The current site plan encourages the retention of native trees and vegetation in and around the residential (RM-2400) portion of the site with clustering oftownhome units resulting in minimal intrusions to resource buffers. Extensive preservation of trees is also provided through the preservation of on-site wetlands and buffers. . Pedestrian orientation of buildings, connectivity, and functional scale on an interior grid system The configuration of the buildings, building scale, access locations, walkway connections, and plaza areas promote pedestrian activity with convenient connections between and within residential and commercial areas. The use of varied pavement materials, crosswalks, pedestrian-scale street lighting, street trees, building facades along rights"of"way and street-front entries emphasize a pedestrian-oriented site plan approach. . Pedestrian amenities such as seating, generous landscaping, water fountains, banners or other ornamentation, art, and outdoor dining The proposed streetscapes, building massing, plaza spaces, public gathering areas, and view corridors shown in the current site plan support the provision for a variety of on-site pedestrian amenities - for both the commercial and residential portions of the site. These amenities will include art, outdoor seating areas, public plazas, street EXHIBIT ~ PAGE -- 2 OF 3 C:\Documents and Settings\default\Local Settings\Temp\harrisO41904m.doc Mr. Richard Wilson Kitts Corner, Otak Project No. 30371 April 19, 2004 Page 3 of3 . trees and landscaping. Public open space and plazas The current site plan illustrates a commercial site design that incorporates a large central plaza with a number of smaller plazas and gathering areas. The overall plan anticipates that pedestrian facilities (i.e., sidewalks, trails, and informal paths) would provide convenient access to the significant native open space located throughout the central portion of the property. The current siting of buildings and access roads also minimizes impacts to and preserves existing wetlands in the west, central, and southern portions of the project. Minimizes linear strip development by massing buildings and uses. However, an anchor tenant for the development may be located apart from the other buildings. The current site plan reflects a massing of buildings and uses that limits the undesired appearance of a strip development. In so doing, it also provides convenient access and parking to the commercial and residential facilities. This plan (and accompanying architectural renderings) illustrates an anchor building at the northeast, and most visible, corner of the site with a pavilion extending from its main body. The anchor building is currently shown detached from the other commercial buildings. This concept provides the visibility required by a likely anchor tenant, while also providing an identifying symbol for the Kitts Corner site. EXHIBIT ~ PAGE-L-OF 1- C:\Documents and Settings\default\Local Settings\Temp\harrisO41904m.doc Â CITY OF <'~$¡;¡;@i¡¡¡¡%t!ì?t"""""" Federal Way MEMORANDUM April 28, 2004 To: Jack Dovey, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTe) David ~nagc< Kathy McClung, Director of Community Development Services Margaret H, Clark, AICP, Senior Planner VIA: FROM: SUBJECT: Amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies MEETING DATE: May 3,2004 I. BACKGROUND The City has received a request from King County to review and ratify amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) (Exhibit A). Under the Growth Management Act (GMA), countywide planning policies serve as the framework for each individual jurisdiction's comprehensive plan, and ensure regional consistency with respect to land use planning efforts. The CPPs were developed by the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), a formal body comprised of elected officials from King County, Seattle, Bellevue, the Suburban Cities, and Special Districts. The CPPs were then adopted by the King County Council and ratified by the cities in 1994. Subsequent amendments to the CPPs are recommended by the GMPC, adopted by the King County Council, and ratified by the cities. Amendments to the CPPs become effective when ratified by ordinance or resolution by at least 30 percent of the city and county governments representing 70 percent of the population of King County, A city shall be deemed to have ratified the amendments unless, within 90 days of adoption by King County, the city takes legislative action to disapprove the amendments, The 90-day deadline for this proposed amendment is June 7, 2004, The amendment is described as follows: Ordinance No, 14844 (GMPC Motion No. 03-2) (Exhibit B) - Amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies by designating Downtown Auburn (the Auburn Central Business District) as an Urban Center. These amendments would add Downtown Auburn to the list of Urban Centers in Countywide Planning Policy LU-39. II. DISCUSSION Motion 03-2, adopted by the GMPC on September 17,2003, amended the CPPs to designate Downtown Auburn as an Urban Center. In 2003, the City of Auburn requested that its downtown core be designated as an Urban Center in the CPPs, Urban Centers are designated in the CPPs as areas of concentrated employment and housing, with direct service by high-capacity transit, and a wide range of other land uses. Urban Centers are expected to account for up to one half of King County's employment growth and one quarter ofhouseholò growth over the next 20 years. In order to be designated as an Urban Center, jurisdictions must meet specific criteria in the CPPs, including having planned land uses to accommodate: . A minimum of 15,000 jobs within one-half mile ofa transit center; At a minimum, an average of 50 employees per gross acre; and At a minimum, an average of 15 households per acre. . . The existing conditions in Auburn's proposed Urban Center are as follows: . 6,000 jobs within one-half mile of a transit center; An average of 50 employees per gross acre; and An average of less than one household per acre, . . The Countywide Planning Policies recognize that Urban Centers vary substantially in the number of households and jobs they contain at the time of their initial designation, and thus the decision to designate an Urban Center is based on planned, not existing densities. The GMPC interjurisdictional team analyzed Auburn's request against the Urban Center criteria in the CPPs and found that the City of Auburn had completed the necessary planning to support an Urban Center designation, including the adoption of a new downtown plan in 2001, and concluded that Downtown Auburn met the criteria for an Urban Center. Designating Downtown Auburn as an Urban Center would involve amending cpr LU39 to add Downtown Auburn to the list of the existing Urban Centers in King County. The existing Urban Centers are Bellevue, Federal Way, Kent, Redmond, Renton, Seattle CDD, Seattle Center, First Hill/ Capitol Hill, University District, Northgate, Tukwila, SeaTac, and Totem Lake.

Proposed Ordinance 2004-0033 would adopt this amendment, and ratify the amended Countywide Planning Policies on behalf of unincorporated King County. > BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Planning Council and Countywide Planning Policies The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) is a formal body comprised of elected officials from King County, Seattle, Bellevue, the Suburban Cities, and Special Districts. The GMPC was created in 1990 in response to a provision in the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requiring cities and counties to work together to adopt Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). Under GMA, countywide planning policies serve as the framework for each individual jurisdiction's comprehensive plan, and ensure countywide consistency with respect to land use planning efforts. The GMPC drafted the CPPs, which were then adopted by the King County Council and ratified by the cities. Subsequent amendments to the CPPs are recommended by the GMPC, adopted by the King County Council, and ratified by the cities. They become effective when ratified by ordinance or resolution by at least 30% of the city and county governments representing 70% of the population of King County. A city shall be deemed to have ratified an amendment to the countywide planning policies unless, within 90 days of adoption by King County, the city by legislative action disapproves it. The City of Auburn's Request to become an Urban Center . . In 2003, the City of Auburn requested that its downtown core be designated as an Urban Center in the Countywide Planning Policies. Urban CE?nters are envisioned in the CPPs as areas of concentrated employment and housing, with direct service by high-capacity transit, and a wide range of other land uses. They are expected to .account for up to one half of King County's employment growth and one quarter of hOl,lsehold growth over the next 20 years. Designating Auburn's central business district as an Urban Center would involve amending Countywide Planning Policy LU-39 to add it to the list of existing Urban Centers, which currently includes: .:. Bellevue .:. Kent .:. Federal Way . Kirkland .:. Redmond (2) .:. Henton .:. Seattle (5) .:. Tukwila EXHIBIT. 'ß PAGE___' j;-_Jl C:IOOCUME-1\pedfOzmeIl0CAlS-1\T emp'kgiCempI2844.doc 212712004 3:33 PM Urban Center Requirements In order to be designated as an Urban Center, jurisdictions must meet specific criteria in the Countywide Planning Policies, including having planned land uses to accommodate: .:. A minimum of 15,000 jobs within one-half mile of a transit center; .:. At a minimum, an average of 50 employees per gross acre; and .:. At a minimum, an average of 15 households per acre. In addition to these requirements, Policy LU-40 states that fully realized Urban Centers shall be characterized by the following: . .:. Clearly defined geographic boundaries; .:. An intensity/density of land uses sufficient to support effective and rapid transit; .:. Pedestrian emphasis within the Center; .:. Emphasis on superior urban design which reflects the local community; .:. limitations on single-occupancy vehicle usage during peak commute hours; .:. A broad array of land uses and choices within those land uses for employees and residents; .:. Sufficient public open spaces and recreational opportunities; and .:. Uses which provide both daytime and nighttime activities in the Center. City of Auburn's Existing and Planned Conditions The existing conditions in Auburn's proposed Urban Center are as follows: .:. 6,000 jobs within one-half mile of a transit center; .:. An average of 14 employees per gross acre; and .:. An average of less than 1 household per acre. The Countywide Planning Policies recognize that Urban Centers vary substantially in the number of households and jobs they contain at the time of their initial designation, and thus the decision to designate an Urban Center is based on planned, not existing, densities. A jurisdiction shows its commitment to realizing these densities through its comprehensive plan policies, a supportive regulatory environment and a commitment to provide adequate infrastructure. GMPC Recommendation The GMPC, through the unanimous adoption of Motion 03-2, has declared that the City of Auburn has demonstrated its commitment to developing a fully realized Urban Center as envisioned in the Countywide Planning Policies. Specific findings include: .:. The city has completed the necessary planning to support an Urban Center designation, including the adoption of a new downtown plan in 2001. .:. Auburn's new downtown plan supports increased transit-oriented development, pedestrian amenities and strong urban design, and a commitment to eliminating automobile oriented uses in the downtown area, .:. Auburn is the site of a major transit hub, which is the centerpiece of approximately $67 million in public works investments in the downtown core. .:. Recent zoning code amendments include the removal of building height limitations in the . Urban Center, and reduced parking requirements for uses close to the transit center.

Other comprehensive plan policies are in place to support transit use, pedestrian access, economic development, and urban design standards. SUMMARY: Proposed Ordinance 2004-0033 would amend the Countywide Planning Policies by: .:. Adding downtown Auburn to the list of Urban Centers in Policy LU-39 Additionally, the ordinance would ratify the change on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County, as required by Countywide Planning Policy FW-1, Step 9.

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2003 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE - OVERVIEW MEETING DATE: May 3, 2004 I. BACKGROUND Federal Way adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 1995 and updated it in December 1998, December 2000, November 2001, and March 2003. The City is presently processing the 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendments. The Growth Management Act (GMA) limits plan updates to no more than once per year except under the following circumstances: 1. The initial adoption of a sub-area 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. None of the above exceptions are applicable to the 2003 amendments. Except as otherwise provided above, the governing 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 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. II. 2003 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS The 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments include the following components: 1. Adoption of a Potential Annexation Area (P AA) Subarea Plan, which will replace Chapter 8, Potential Annexation Areas of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). 2. Amendments to Chapter 2, Land Use and Chapter 4, Economic Development related to the adoption of a new zoning classification entitled Freeway Commercial, which would apply to both the City and the P AA. 3. A request to remove the planned extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street shown on Map III-27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the Comprehensive Plan and to delete this project from Table III-19 (Regional CIP Project List). 4. An application by the Christian Faith Center for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone from Business Park (BP) to Multifamily Residential 3600 (RM 3600) and associated development agreement and development plan.! Changes to the text of the comprehensive plan are not proposed as part of the 2003 amendments, which is currently being worked on, because the seven-year update was completed in March 2003. The intent of the seven-year update was to ensure that the comprehensive plan complies with the key requirements made to the GMA between 1995 and 2001. Attached are the following staff reports: 1. April 26, 2004, P AA Staff Report. 2. April 27, 2004, Staff Report on the proposed Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification.2 3. April 26, 2004, Staff Report on the Quadrant Request to delete the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, north of South 320th Street from the comprehensive plan. The staff report on the Christian Faith Center request will be provided to the City Council prior to the May 24, 2004 public hearing. III.

Federal Way MEMORANDUM April 26, 2004 To: Jack Dovey, Chair Land Useffransportation Committee (LUTe) SUBJECT: Isaac Conlen, Associate Plann~~ David MO~ Manager \ Potential Annexation Area Subarea Plan FROM: VIA: MEETING DATE: May 3, 2004 I. Introduction This memorandum transmits the Planning Commission recommendation regarding the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan to the Land Use and Transportation Committee. The report gives a brief background and overview ofthe PAA Subarea Plan. The PAA Subarea Plan and PAA Annexation Feasibility Study (attachments I and II respectively) have already been forwarded to the Committee. The February 25,2004 Planning Commission staff report is also attached for review (Exhibit III). That report gives a detailed overview of the P AA Subarea Plan including discussion of four site-specific zoning requests received from property owners as part of the public involvement review process. Two shorter staff reports dated March 29, 2004 and April 13, 2004 primarily provide responses to Planning Commission questions and are attached for reference (Exhibits IV and V respectively). Summary of Planning Commission Recommendation On April 21, 2004 the Planning Commission recommended the Proposed Final Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan be approved per the staff proposal (Exhibit III, staff report dated February 25, 2004), except the following modifications to the staff proposal are recommended: A. Apply the Office Park and Single Family High Density plan class and Office Park (OP) and RS9.6 (single-family 9,600 square foot lot sizes) zoning to the Jackson property analysis area (adjacent to northbound 1-5 freeway on-ramps on the north side of S 320th Street), B. Apply the Neighborhood Business plan class and Neighborhood Business (BN) zoning to the Davis site located at 30682 Military Rd. S, Planning Commission also discussed two additional site-specific zoning requests. The Commission was unable to reach a majority decision regarding the Rabie site and therefore does not forward a recommendation for this site. Planning Commissioners expressed support for a self-storage use on the site (which the applicant has expressed interested in), but felt that City zones, which allow self- storage uses, are too intensive for the area. Staffrecommended the Single Family High Density plan class and RS7.2 (single-family 7,200 square foot lot sizes) zoning. With regard to the Northlake Frontage Lots site-specific request, the Planning Commission concurred with the applicant's request and the staff recommendation and recommends the Single Family High Density plan class and RS9.6 (single-family 9,600 square foot lot sizes) zoning. (See Table 1 on page 4) II. Background and Overview The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan identifies a 5,000-acre Potential Annexation Area (PAA) largely east ofI-5. A smaller 40+ acre area is located along SR-99 near S 272nd Street in the Redondo area, The boundaries of the P AA were established through a series of interlocal agreements between the City of Federal Way and neighboring south King County cities. Consistent with the State Growth Management Act and Countywide Planning Policies for King County, the City would ultimately annex the P AA and provide City services. To review its P AA comprehensively and in advance of individual requests, the City of Federal Way, with the support of King County, initiated a PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study. By evaluating the feasibility of potential annexations and planning for the future delivery of services, residents of the PAA and the City can make more infonned choices about their future. The PAA Annexation Feasibility Study found that the City of Federal Way would experience a significant negative fiscal impact on its operating budget if the PAA areas east ofI-5 were annexed to the City and the City used the same revenue sources and rates, and provided the same level of services as it provides to the residents and businesses in the current boundaries of the City. The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million ($8.2 million cost; $4.6 million revenue). The Redondo area is estimated to have no operating cash deficit. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the PAA totaling over $48,3 million. Dedicated capital revenue is anticipated to be $32.0 million through the year 2020, leaving an unfunded cost of $16,3 million, To address the fiscal impact the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Annexation Feasibility Report, December 2003 identifies six categories of strategies that could be pursued to address the significant negative fiscal impacts of annexation, as follows, without a priority order: 1. 2, 3, 4, 5. 6. State and County Support Local Taxpayers Tax Base Expansion Special Districts Reduced or Phased Levels of Service Phased Annexation Some implementation strategies may be suitable for different portions of the PAA while others may not be. Study of the alternatives prior to or at the time of annexation requests would be warranted. The Feasibility Study Implementation Strategies are integrated into the Subarea Plan policies. Page 2 The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan addresses required State and County topics, and would broadly address the major concerns found in the P AA. The P AA Subarea Plan is intended to be a part of the overall City Comprehensive Plan, and it would replace the current P AA Element. The P AA Subarea Plan provides area-specific goals, objectives, and policies appropriate for the P AA, addressing a range of built and natural environment topics, The area-specific issues emphasized in the P AA goals and policies, include the following: . Support of Single Family Neighborhoods as the primary land use of the P AA, . Identification of neighborhood or community commercial centers along arterials, as appropriately scaled nodes for local-serving retail, and multifamily housing styles. . Relationship of the PAA to the Federal Way City Center, such as different functions of commercial centers, . Opportunities for subsequent detailed planning efforts such as master planning. . Area-specific environmental protection policies. . Capital improvements to meet levels of service for transportation, parks and recreation, and surface water. . Annexation strategies addressing fiscal feasibility, phasing, service delivery, and others. As part of implementing the P AA Subarea Plan, the City has the option of adopting pre-annexation comprehensive plan and zoning map designations (RCW 35.13.177), which would become effective upon annexation. Pre-annexation comprehensive plan classification and zoning map designations could provide more certainty to property owners and residents about the future character of the area should they annex to the City. The PAA Subarea Plan includes both Pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning' Maps. The base or starting point for developing the maps was first to match the most similar City classification to the current County classification. Although the basis of the P AA Subarea Plan is the King County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the City proposed adjustments to the basic land classification system in some areas as a result of a detailed review of existing land uses and future land use/zoning classifications, Through the PAA Subarea Plan public process, four requests were received to modify the associated proposed Pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Maps, The four requests, staff recommendations and Planning Commission recommendations are summarized in Table I (next page).

The following amendments to the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan are also recommended: . Apply the Freeway Commercial Plan class and zone to the Jackson property analysis area (adjacent to northbound 1-5 freeway on-ramps on north side ofS 320th Street). . Amend the North Lake frontage lots to have a Pre-Annexation zone of RS9.6. II. Background Summary The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan identifies a 5,000-acre Potential Annexation Area (P AA) largely east ofI-5. A smaller 40+ acre area is located along SR-99 near S 272nd Street in ' the Redondo area. The boundaries of the P AA were established through a series of interlocal agreements between the City of Federal Way and neighboring south King County cities. Consistent with the State Growth Management Act and Countywide Planning Policies for King County, the City would ultimately annex in the P AA and provide City services.

The PAA Annexation Feasibility Study found that the City of Federal Way would experience a significant negative fiscal impact on its operating budget if the P AA areas east ofI-5 were annexed to the City and the City used the same revenue sources and rates, and provided the same level of services as it provides to the residents and businesses in the current boundaries of the EXHIBIT 3> PAGE d- OF 3s Page 2 of24 February 25, 2004 City. The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million ($8.2 million cost; $4.6 million revenue). The Redondo area is estimated to have no operating cash deficit. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the P AA totaling over $48.3 million. Dedicated capital revenue is anticipated to be $32.0 million through the year 2020, leaving an unfunded cost of $16.3 million. The City would undoubtedly continue City policy that Surface Water Management (SWM) costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. This would reduce the operating cost gap to $3.0 million and the capital deficit to $11.6 million. In addition, the City will undoubtedly receive mitigation payments or impact fees from development in the P AA, which were not possible to estimate at this time, but they would further reduce the size of the capital deficit. To address the fiscal impact the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Annexation Feasibility Report, December 2003 identifies six categories of strategies that could be pursued to address the significant negative fiscal impacts of annexation, as follows, without a priority order: 1. State and County Support 5. Reduced or Phased Levels of Service 2. Local Taxpayers 6. Phased Annexation 3. Tax Base Expansion 4.

Proposed Review Schedule The P AA Subarea Plan has been reviewed by a P AA Steering Committee made up of representatives from the City Council, Planning Commission, P AA residents, Chamber of Commerce, School District, and Lakehaven Utility District. It has also been the subject of several public open houses as identified further below in this memo. The P AA Subarea Plan will now be fonnally reviewed by the Planning Commission, the Council's Land Use/Transportation Committee, and the City Council as a whole.

P AA Subarea Plan - Compliance with Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria D. PAA Background Studies E. P AA Annexation Feasibility Study J. Conclusions and Recommendatio Planning Commission Action and Staff Recommendations F. Subarea Plan Goals and Key Policies Each topic is addressed below in summary form. The Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan and Final Annexation Feasibility Study should be consulted for more detailed infonnation. A. PAA Study Purpose The City of Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (P AA) was established through a series of interlocal agreements between the City of Federal Way and neighboring south King County cities. See Map 1 (P AA Subarea Plan Map 1). Based upon the State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) and King County Countywide Planning Policies, the City would ultimately annex and provide services within its designated P AA. Over time, property owners in the P AA have made annexation requests to the City of Federal Way, which requires a thorough City analysis of service/capital expenditures, revenues, and other issues. To review its P AA comprehensively and in advance of individual requests, the City EXHIBIT PAGE c£> OF 3 ~ I"age 6 of 24 February 25, 2004 3 of Federal Way, with the support of King County, initiated a P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study. By evaluating the feasibility of potential annexations and planning for the future delivery of services, residents of the P AA and the City can make more infonned choices about their future. Specific Subarea Plan purposes include: . To act as an infonnational resource for the City and County staff, elected officials, residents, property owners, and business owners; . To identify the P AA-specific goals, policies, pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations and capital plans; and . To provide the City with a framework to guide future annexations. In coordination with the City's overall Comprehensive Plan, the PAA Subarea Plan provides a Year 2020 long-range land use and policy plan to guide pre-annexation planning efforts and annexation requests. It provides for pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations, capital facility plans for transportation, surface water, parks, and other facilities, and policies for a variety of natural and built environment topics. When adopted in final fonn, the PAA Subarea Plan will be a component of the overall Federal Way Comprehensive Plan focusing upon the 5,000-acre future annexation area, and will replace the Potential Annexation Area Element of the Comprehensive Plan currently in effect. It is intended that the City's Comprehensive Plan Elements provide the general goals and policies for land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities, transportation, economic development, and parks and recreation for the P AA as well as the City. However, the P AA Subarea Plan is intended to address unique characteristics or situations relevant to the P AA. Future annexation proposals will be evaluated, and, if approved, implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, that will include the P AA Subarea Plan. B. PAA Study Area For purposes of data collection efficiencies and resources, the P AA has been divided into three Major Subareas as well as seven smaller Community Level Subareas. The Major and Community Level Subareas are as follows (see Map 2; P AA Subarea Plan Map II): . The Redondo East Community Level Subarea is in the Redondo East Major Subarea (both with identical boundaries), west ofl-5 and is approximately 43 acres in size. . Star Lake, Camelot, and North Lake Community Level Subareas comprise the Northeast Major Subarea, east ofl-5 and north of SR-18, and total approximately 2,527 acres in size. . Lakeland, Parkway, and Jovita Community Level Subareas comprise the Southeast Major Subarea, east ofl-5 and south ofSR-18, and total approximately 2,470 acres in size. EXHIBIT 5 PAGE 7 OF 33 Page 7 of 24 February 25, 2004 The subarea boundaries are based upon City-defined Transportation Analysis Zones which align with Census Tract geography, neighborhood affinities as expressed in prior County planning efforts, and the ability of the County to provide information within existing resources, as well as input from the P AA Steering Committee in December 2001. C. Public Participation Key to the development of the P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study has been and will be public participation. Public participation methods for the P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study are described in detail in the Subarea Plan, and are summarized briefly below: . Articles in City and Utility District newsletters, and City and County website pages. . A P AA Study webpage on the City's website containing P AA publications and allowing interested citizens to comment. . Coordination of draft work products with neighboring jurisdictions and affected agencies. . City facilitation of public neighborhood meetings with several Homeowner's Associations in the P AA. . Mailing public meeting announcements and document publication announcements to a comprehensive stakeholder list. . P AA Steering Committee meetings. The Steering Committee was fonned to act as a "sounding board" reviewing products of the Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study, and assessing the direction of the project, particularly the Subarea Plan. The P AA Steering Committee consists of officials from the Federal Way City Council, Planning Commission, School District, Chamber of Commerce, King County, Lakehaven Utility District, and P AA Resident representatives. Steering Committee Meetings were held in December 2001, January and February 2002, and January, April and September 2003. . Public open houses held in February 2002, and January and September 2003. These meetings were held at local public schools in the PAA and at the City of Federal Way City Hall. At the meetings, the public could review the P AA inventory, land use concepts, levels of service and fiscal analyses as well as provide comments and ask questions. . Planning Commission and City Council public meetings and hearings. Following the Planning Commission Study Session on March 3, 2004, Planning Commission meetings are scheduled through April. Council meetings, including the LUTC, are scheduled for May through July at this time. EXHIBIT .; PAGE % OF 3~l1rll:~;~ ~~~: D. PAA Background Studies The P AA: Subarea Plan has been prepared in accordance with an established work program that included reviews by the City of Federal Way, King County, and working committees, as well as general public input. The key steps in this planning process have included: . Inventory: The inventory identifies current environmental and public service conditions. See Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002. . Analysis: Several analyses have been undertaken including land use and population review, levels of service (roads, surface water, police, etc.), and preliminary cost and revenue estimates. (Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level afService Analysis, July 11, 2003; Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Land Use Analysis Compilation, March 5, 2003.) . Draft Plan: The March 2003 Draft P AA Subarea Plan contained draft policies and plans, and was the basis for a fiscal analysis. . Final Plan: Based on public input and the fiscal review of the Draft Plan, a Proposed Final Subarea Plan has been prepared. It is coordinated with the P AA Annexation Feasibility Study including strategic alternatives such as annexation area phasing and service provision phasing. Environmental review has been prepared addressing the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan in conformance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). . Adopted Plan: As part of the City's public hearing process, the Federal Way Planning Commission will review and make a recommendation to the Federal Way City Council Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) regarding the adoption of the Subarea Plan. The LUTC will review the Subarea Plan and the Planning Commission recommendation and issue a recommendation to the Federal Way City Council regarding the adoption ofthe Subarea Plan. The City Council will review the Subarea Plan and the Planning Commission and LUTC recommendations in its consideration of adopting the Subarea Plan. As the P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study have progressed to date, key concepts have been elicited about the P AA: . The City of Federal Way recognizes annexation as a citizen-based process. The Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study are intended to provide for advanced planning of the PAA allowing both citizens and the City to make informed choices about their future. . The P AA is part of the larger Federal Way community, but is distinct in its own right, Given its proximity, inter-dependent transportation network, shared school district/utility districts/emergency service providers, and the City's subregional economic role, the P AA is inter-related with the City of Federal Way. However, the P AA has its own unique characteristics - residential neighborhood variety, natural features including headwaters to EXHIBIT 3 PAGE ~ OF 3:S Page 9 of 24 February 25, 2004 several significant streams, a road system functioning with rural standards in an urbanizing area, some economic nodes such as in Redondo, and many other distinct features. E. PAA Annexation Feasibility Study An Annexation Feasibility Study (December 2003) has been prepared to estimate the long-tenn fiscal impact annexation would have on the City of Federal Way. As a baseline assessment, the Feasibility Study looks at the net fiscal gap the new, expanded City of Federal Way would face if the City were to annex any of the identified P AAs while trying to maintain current levels of services and current levels of taxation and fees. To account for the differences between the fiscal impacts associated with the day-to-day operation of the City and the impacts associated with needed capital investments, the Feasibility Study takes a three-pronged approach to assessing impacts: 1. Estimate the incremental operating costs introduced by annexation of the P AAs on an annual basis, and compare those costs to the incremental revenues the City would receive from the same areas. 2. Discuss how the balance of operating costs and revenues would be likely to change in future years. 3. Estimate the additional capital investments that the City would take on with annexation and compare those costs to the additional capital revenues the City could expect to receive from the P AAs. To provide the most intuitive and up-to-date infonnation about estimated impacts, this analysis provides a snapshot of what the operating impacts would be if the City were in the position of fully governing each PAA in 2003. The assessment of operating impacts is based on 2003 costs of service and 2003 tax and fee structures, as outlined in the City of Federal Way 2003/2004 Adopted Budget, and is intended to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state operation. In essence, these estimated steady-state operating impacts reflect the ongoing "costs" that the City would face each year, beginning perhaps, in the third year after annexation and extending into perpetuity.' Estimated costs of capital improvements are based on the most recent available data (2002) and reflect estimates of the combined investments that will be necessary through the planning horizon of2020 (all presented in 2002 dollars). There is no material effect on this fiscal analysis from using 2003 operating costs impacts and 2002 capital costs, primarily because the capital improvement costs are expressed in current (2002) dollars regardless of when the projects may be built in the next 20 years. I In the initial years of annexation costs could be either higher or lower than the estimated steady-state impacts, depending on how the City chooses to manage annexation. Among the determinants of transition-period costs will be the direct and indirect costs of managing the transition and the pace at which the City chooses to ramp up certain, discretionary service levels in the annexed area. EXHIBIT ~ PAGE ) b OF 55 Page 10 of24 February 25, 2004 The purpose of estimating the hypothetical gap that would be created if the City were to try to extend current service levels to the P AAs without increasing taxes is to present decision makers and the public with a picture of the true "cost" of annexation. Ultimately, any such gap between costs and revenues is hypothetical. Cities have no choice but to cover their costs of operation. Consequently, if Federal Way were to annex any of the P AAs, any estimated "cost" associated with annexation would have to be made up through some combination of (l) stretching City resources through decreased levels of service and/or (2) increasing City revenues. The Feasibility Study provides fiscal analysis and annexation strategies that are integrated into the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan, particularly in tenns of: . Identifying public services and capital improvements that would need to be in place to serve the Subarea Plan current and future land use pattern over time, and . Incorporating into Subarea Plan policies the strategies regarding agency coordination, funding sources, future land use amendments, levels of service, and others, that could improve the financial feasibility of annexations in the P AA. Feasibility Study Results The City of Federal Way would experience a significant negative fiscal impact on its operating budget if the Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas (Southeast: Lakeland, Jovita, Parkway neighborhoods; Northeast: Star Lake, Camelot, and North Lake neighborhoods) were annexed to the City and the City used the same revenue sources and rates, and provided the same level of services as it provides to the residents and businesses in the current boundaries of the City. The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million ($8.2 million cost; $4.6 million revenue). The cost of providing the City's levels of service in the PAA would exceed revenues from the PAA by 78 percent annually. The net operating revenue (or net costs) presented here represent the gap between operating revenues generated in each of the P AAs under the City's 2003 revenue structure and the costs of extending 2003 levels of City services to the same areas. In order to present a full picture of operating impacts, this presentation combines fiscal impacts across a number of disparate City Funds. The City would undoubtedly continue City policy that Surface Water Management (SWM) costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. Such a strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM services by $538,000 [the difference between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($285,000)]. The remaining $3.0 million gap, then, would be bridged through some combination of other strategies. Another way oftmderstanding the fiscal impact of the approximately $3.6 million deficit is to see how it compares to the combined revenue of the City of Federal Way and the combined EXHIBIT ~ PAGE JI OF 3. 3- Page 11 of 24 February 25, 2004 Northeast/Southeast P AA subareas. If Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast P AA subareas are viewed as a single City of over 105,000 population, the annual deficit of $3.6 million equals six percent of the combined operating revenue. It would be like running a business that loses six percent every year. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the P AA totaling over $48.3 million. Dedicated capital revenue is anticipated to be $32.0 million through the year 2020, leaving an unfunded cost of$16.3 million (which averages $0.9 million per year through 2020). As noted for operating costs above, City policy for surface water (and other enterprise activities) is to cover costs with fee revenue. Assuming that the City would use enterprise policy to cover the $4.7 million cost of stormwater capital, the remaining deficit would be $11,564,520 (which is an annual average of $642,473). In addition, the City will undoubtedly receive mitigation payments or impact fees from development in the P AA, which were not possible to estimate at this time, but they would reduce the size of the deficit. To address the fiscal impact the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Annexation Feasibility Report, December 2003 identifies six categories of strategies that could be pursued to address the significant negative fiscal impacts of annexation, as follows, without a priority order: 1. State and County Support: With this option, the City could indicate that its ability to annex the Southeast and Northeast Subareas is contingent upon the State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of such annexations. Examples could include a new local option sales tax per State Law that authorizes King County to submit such a tax for voter approval, State grants, and unexpended County impact fees being provided to the City. The County's ability to continue to service urban unincorporated islands has decreased over the last several years, and the County has been cutting back services. Accordingly, in August 2003, it was reported that King County will offer a total of $10 million to a number of cities that annex unincorporated areas in their P AAs. Details were not announced, and will depend on the County's budget decisions. 2. Local Taxpayers: With this option, the City could use one or more general taxes to have all taxpayers in Federal Way and the combined annexation area share in paying the annual operating deficit. The City could ask voters to approve long-term debt in the form of a general obligation bond that is used to build capital improvements, Of particular interest are enterprise funds. Like many cities, Federal Way has a policy that costs of enterprise funds, such as Surface Water Management and Solid Waste are to be covered by user fees. Such a strategy would require increased fees and/or decreased levels of services. Federal Way could increase user fees throughout the City and P AA for its stormwater utility and/or solid waste utility and use the proceeds to offset the increased cost of providing those services in the P AA. 3. Tax Base Expansion: A long-term strategy for Federal Way could be to increase City revenue by increasing the tax base in the P AA and/or in the City limits. Some businesses, like automobile dealerships, generate significantty more tax revenue than EXHIBIT 3 PAGE } d.- OF ?, ~ Page 12 of 24 February 25, 2004 the cost of the public services they receive. These strategies could be pursued independently by the City of Federal Way, but King County could make annexation more attractive if it were to take the lead in rezoning selected parcels in the P AA in accordance with provisions of the approved Subarea Plan and assisting in the economic development strategies to develop those areas. A caveat would be that the City of Federal Way and the PAAs cUrrently have vacant and underdeveloped land to absorb decades of anticipated commercial growth. 4. Special Districts: One strategy to generate revenue to pay for Federal Way's level of service in the annexation area would be to create a special district and charge a property tax levy in that district. Washington law allows the creation of limited special purpose districts for a number of purposes, such as roads, parks, transportation, and "local improvements." Voter approval is required to create special districts that have taxing authority. Property owner approval is required to create special districts that use special assessments. There is some risk associated with using special districts as a strategy to pay for providing urban levels of service the P AA. A vote on creating a special taxing district would occur subsequent to an annexation vote. If voters approve annexation, but do not approve the creation ofthe district(s), the City would be left with insufficient money to provide its level of service. 5. Reduced or Phased Levels of Service: Another way for the City to address the difference in levels of service between Federal Way and the County would be to pennanently provide a lower level of service for one or more services, either broadly citywide or only within specific areas. A second strategy for addressing the difference in level of service would be to phase-in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. Phasing would reduce costs during the transition, and it would provide Federal Way with time to recruit and hire personnel and acquire facilities and equipment. However, eventually, phased levels of service will grow to equal the standards achieved by the City of Federal Way. When that occurs, service levels will be the same throughout the City, and the City will experience the full fiscal impacts of those levels of service. A variation on phased or reduced levels of service could include alternative service delivery strategies or customized strategies for specific neighborhoods tailored to the needs or characteristics of the P AA location. For example, crime prevention programs could vary by neighborhood depending on the type residential dwellings, commercial uses, and previous crime rate statistics. 6. Phased Annexation: This strategy would involve annexing those areas that are financially self-supporting first and then annexing other areas later, perhaps in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations. Phased annexation based on fiscal impacts could be accomplished by annexing Redondo first because it has no operating cash deficit. The Northeast P AA subarea, or portions thereof, could be annexed next because its operating costs exceed EXHIBIT 3> PAGE 13 OF 33 Page 13 of 24 February 25, 2004 revenues by 61 percent. Last to be annexed could be the Southeast P AA subarea, because its costs are estimated to be more than double the revenue it would generate (i.e., the deficit is 105 percent). Phasing can also be accomplished by smaller areas, such as community subareas. For example, if community subareas were annexed in order of their fiscal impact, from least to most net operating cost, the following would be the phasing sequence: Northlake, Lakeland, Star Lake, Jovita, Camelot, and Parkway. If other Implementation Strategies are considered and employed to determine phasing for annexation, the order might be different than the preceding list. It should be noted that phasing annexation emphasizes differences among the areas, and misses the opportunity to mitigate the apparent differences among areas by taking them all at the same time, thus effectively averaging the "highs"and "lows" of both revenues and costs. Some implementation strategies may be suitable to different portions of the P AA while others may not be. Study of the alternatives prior to or at the time of annexation requests would be warranted. The Feasibility Study Implementation Strategies are integrated into the Subarea Plan policies. F. Subarea Plan: Goals and Key Policies The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan addresses required State and County topics, and would broadly address the major concerns found in the P AA. The Subarea Plan is intended to be a part of the overall City Comprehensive Plan and address area-specific goals, objectives, and policies appropriate for the P AA. The proposed Subarea Plan Goals and Policies were developed based upon: .. . State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements, Countywide Planning Policies, and City Policies. . P AA Inventory and Level of Service analyses. . Fiscal reports prepared for the P AA. The area-specific issues emphasized in the preparation of P AA Goals and Policies, include the following: . Support of Single Family Neighborhoods as the primary land use of the PAA. . Identification of neighborhood or community commercial centers along arterials, as appropriately scaled nodes for local-serving retail, and multifamily housing styles. . Relationship of the P AA to the Federal Way City Center, such as different functions of commercial centers. . Opportunities for subsequent detailed planning efforts such as master planning. EXHIBIT 3 PAGE } '-/ OF 5;S ~ØIK::~~:,~~~: . Area-specific environmental protection policies. . Capital improvements to meet levels of service for transportation, parks and recreation, and surface water. . Annexation strategies addressing fiscal feasibility, phasing, service delivery, and others The proposed goals are listed below. Policies are included in the P AA Subarea Plan and provide more detail. . Environmental Goal. Practice environmental stewardship by protecting, enhancing and promoting the natural environment in and around the P AA. . Land Use Goal. Respect the character, integrity, and unique qualities of P AA neighborhoods in land use planning efforts. . Housing Goal. Promote the preservation and enhancement existing residential neighborhoods, and allow for new housing developments meeting future needs in the P AA. . Parks Goal. Maintain current facilities and acquire new lands to meet P AA community park and recreation needs. . Surface Water Goal. Promote a P AA surface water system that protects the environment and property, and allows for efficient operation and maintenance. . Transportation Goal. Establish a safe, coordinated, and linked multi modal transportation system serving local and area-wide travel needs. . Private Utilities Goal. Facilitate provision of electric, natural gas, telecommunication, and cable services to the greater Federal Way community. . Public Services and Capital Facilities Goal. Provide effective, efficient, and quality capital facilities and services at the level necessary to meet community needs and support allowed growth. . Public Participation Goal. Actively seek public involvement in PAA planning efforts. . Govemance/Interjurisdictional Coordination Goal. Coordinate P AA planning efforts with other neighboring jurisdictions and agencies. . Annexation Goal. Provide a framework for processing annexation requests. G. Subarea Plan: land Use Plan The predominant character of the P AA consists of single- family residential with several nodes of commercial and multifamily uses, principally along arterial roadways. The King County land EXHIBIT 3 PAGE ) ~ OF s3 Page 15 of24 February 25, 2004 use plans governing the PAA have generally recognized this character. For the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan, the base or starting point for developing a comprehensive land use plan was first to match the most similar City classification to the current County classification. Although the basis of the PAA Subarea Plan is the King County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the City conducted a detailed review of existing land uses and future land uselzoning classifications to determine if adjustments to the basic land classification system were warranted in certain locations of the P AA. Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis produced a series of maps to help identify: . Nonconforming Uses: Existing uses that either under the King County classification/zoning system or the City potential classification/zoning system may be considered nonconforming - i.e. legally established land uses that do not conform to existing zoning regulations. . Mobile Home Parks and Units: Mobile home parks and single manufactured homes that may or may not meet Federal Way manufactured home park design standards. . Parcel Size and Minimum Lot Size Requirements: Parcels smaller than the minimum lot size associated with potential zoning categories. Additionally, other issues and locations were reviewed, including: . King County R-l Zoning areas were reviewed to determine if environmental characteristics warrant Federal Way equivalent zoning (RS-35.0) to King County's R-l (one residential dwelling per acre) zoning. . Potential Incompatibilities: The P AA Subarea Planning team reviewed sites where there could be a potential for incompatibility with City policies/codes, or other concerns. The result of the land use and zoning analysis is a Land Use Plan that: . Recognizes and supports the predominant single-family suburban character of the PAA. . Recognizes the need for neighborhood or community level business goods and services at key nodes in the P AA such as at the intersection of arterials. . Creates a consistent, compatible long-term land use pattern recognizing the predominant and unique character of P AA neighborhoods. As part of implementing the P AA Subarea Plan, the City has the option of adopting a pre- annexation comprehensive plan and zoning map designations (RCW 35.13.177), which would become effective upon annexation, Pre-annexation comprehensive plan classification and zoning map designations could provide more certainty to property owners and residents about the future character of the area should they annex to the City. As part of the Federal Way PAA Subarea Planning Process, a more specific P AA Pre-Annexation Zoning Map shown in Map 4 EXHIBIT 3 PAGE ) (p OF ?, 5 Page 16 of24 February 25, 2004 (P AA Subarea Plan Map VII-2) has been prepared to correspond to the proposed P AA Pre- Annexation Comprehensive Plan in Map 3 (PAA Subarea Plan Map VII-i). The process of adopting a pre-annexation land use plan and pre-annexation zoning would follow these steps in accordance with RCW 35.13: After a proposed comprehensive plan or zoning regulation is prepared, the legislative body of the city must hold at least two public hearings on it. These hearings must be held at least 30 days apart. Notice of each hearing must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the annexing city and in the area to be annexed. The notice must give the time and place of hearing. A copy of the ordinance or resolution adopting the proposed plan, any part of the proposed plan, or any amendment, together with any map referred to or adopted by the ordinance or resolution, must be filed with the county auditor and the city clerk. The ordinance, resolution, and map must be duly certified as a true copy by the clerk of the annexing city. The county auditor is to record the ordinance or resolution and keep the map on file. (Municipal Research & Services Center of Washington, Annexation Handbook, Revised December 2001 - Report No. 19) The adopting ordinance for the pre-annexation plan and zoning should specify the time interval following an annexation during which the ordinance adopting the pre-annexation plan and zoning, must remain in effect before it may be amended, supplemented or modified by subsequent ordinance or resolution adopted by the annexing city or town. Any amendment to the pre-annexation land use plan that is adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan is subject to the general GMA limitation that the comprehensive plan may be amended no more frequently than once a year, unless exceptions are met. (Municipal Research & Services Center of Washington, Annexation Handbook, Revised December 2001 - Report No. 19) The Steering Committee has held public meetings in preparing the Subarea Plan. Planning Commission and City Council public hearings are planned as part of the remainder of the Subarea Plan process to fulfill local City public participation requirements and the requirements to ultimately establish a Pre-Annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations. Land Capacity The Federal Way PAA has an estimated Year 2003 population of21,460 with most of the population residing in the Northeast Subarea. The GMA and Countywide Planning Policies for King County require that King County and its cities accommodate their fair share of the future growth projected for King County. The PAA has been found to contain a large supply of vacant and underdeveloped land, with the capacity to accommodate significant future development. Consistent with regionally established methods that are tailored to reflect King County conditions, the total vacant and underdeveloped acres were discounted for critical areas such as wetlands, streams, and steep slopes, rights-of-way and public purpose lands, and market factors (i.e. not all property owners would want to sell or develop). These acres were then multiplied by EXHIBIT 3 PAGE 17 OF 3~ Page 17 of 24 February 25, 2004 density factors based upon achieved densities in developed projects over the period 1995-2000. The results for the 20- year period of 200 1 to 2022 are a potential dwelling capacity of 3,754 units and an employment capacity of 134 jobs calculated by King County. The City of Federal Way conducted a similar residential capacity analysis with results of 3,717 dwelling units, very close to the County's analysis since similar land use classifications are assumed. Future development "targets", expressed in the number of housing units, are detennined through an interactive, multi-jurisdictional process between King County and cities located within, considering land capacity, market factors, and other parameters. Through this ongoing regional process, the P AA growth target for the years 2001 to 2022 is established at 1,320 units. The employment target is established at 134 jobs. The buildable land capacity exceeds the residential "target", and is the same in tenns of jobs. It should be noted that a capacity analysis may make adjustments or discounts to the amount of available land, but does not estimate the time or rate that growth will occur, only the capacity of the land for additional development. To help identify potential market demands, the City conducted a market analysis for the P AA with the Puget Sound Regional Council forecasts as a starting point. The outcome ofthe market analysis is a year 2000 to year 2020 projection of 2,223 dwelling units and 115 jobs, which for dwellings exceeds the P AA housing targets, and for employment approaches the employment target, in a nearly similar time horizon. For the purposes of capital facility planning the market analysis figures are used in the P AA Subarea Plan analysis to ensure that facility planning efforts do no overestimate facility demand, capital needs, and funding requirements. H. Private Amendment Requests Through a public review process, four P AA Study Pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning requests were submitted by private property owners for consideration by the City Council prior to adoption of the Subarea Plan (see Maps 6 - 9): . Richard and Louise Davis - 30682 Military Road South - Request for Neighborhood Business Comprehensive Plan Designation and Zoning (BN) instead of Single Family High Density/RS9.6 proposed in the PAA Subarea Plan. . Jerry Jackson, President, All-American Associates, Coldwell Banker on behalf of seven properties located at 1-5 and S 320111 Street just east of the NE interchange on-ramps, PAA Subarea Plan designations are Office Park along S 320111 Street and Single Family High Density on the northern two thirds of the property. The request is for Community Business (BC) class for the whole property. The applicant is willing to restrict commercial uses to those that would not compete with City Center commercial areas, such as car dealerships. The analysis area includes the applicant requested sites (seven parcels) along with an adjacent parcel, not part of the request, because it is similarly situated (addressed as 3126 S 320111 Street), EXHIBIT 3 PAGE ) 15 OF ~3 Page 18 of 24 February 25, 2004 . North Lake Zoning Petition Committee, facilitator Lois Kutscha. The request is for lots fronting the North Lake shoreline. The request is to retain the proposed Single Family High Density class but apply RS9.6 zoning instead ofRS7.2 zoning. The analysis area includes the 40+ petitioners' properties as well other similarly situated lakefront lots. Lee Rabie, Enerco Inc., SW "corner" ofI-5 and S 288th Street east ofI-5, King County parcel identification numbers 032104-9066-00 and 042104-9045-05. The request is to apply a commercial classification to the property similar to King County, for purposes of a proposed self-storage use, rather than the P AA Subarea Plan Pre-annexation single-family classifications (Single Family High Density/RS7.2). The property owner is pursuing a pennit for a self-storage use with King County. Equivalent City designations allowing self-storage include the Community Business Comprehensive Plan classification with either Community Business (BC) Zoning or Business Park (BP) Zoning. . The four P AA designation requests are summarized in the following Table and identified on Maps 6- 9: Table 3.

Key BC = Community Business BN or NB = Neighborhood Business COOC = Commercial Outside of Centers 0 = Office R = Residential - number are units/acre SFHD = Single Family High Density or lot square feet BP = Business Park OP = Office Park UR = Urban Residential Davis Request The Davis financial office is an existing use. Applying a Neighborhood Business plan/zoning class would recognize the current use, location along a principal arterial, and maintain the status quo for the neighborhood. However, the site's improvements, such as landscaping, parking, and other features would not meet City development standards and would be nonconfonning. While a detailed review of the site development has not been completed, given the size of the lot, it is unlikely that City development standards could be met in the future. Applying a single-family class would make the use nonconfonning, and site improvements would continue to be nonconfonning. A single-family class would recognize the predominant character of the neighborhood. Options to respond to the request include: . Per the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan apply the Single Family High Density plan class and RS9.6 zone similar to that applied to the surrounding properties. At a Comprehensive Plan level this matches King County's long-range vision. . Apply the Federal Way Neighborhood Business plan class and BN zoning. At a zoning level, this would be consistent with the current King County zoning of NB. The staff recommendation is to continue with the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan pre- annexation classifications of Single Family High Density with RS9.6 zoning similar to that applied to the surrounding properties. Jackson Request The Jackson property is immediately adjacent to 1-5 and the principal arterial S 320th Street. It has two easements BP A power lines and Olympic Pipeline. It is located across from office uses. EXHIBIT 3 PAGE ?'O OF 33 Page 20 of 24 February 25, 2004 Immediately to the east and north are single-family uses, and to the east there is also vacant property identified for future office uses similar to the frontage of the Jackson property. A portion of the site contains a wetland (greater than 5 acres), primarily along the freeway. Changing the site to the Community Business land class and BC zoning for the whole property would recognize the location of major roads and highways and easements that reduce the desirability of residential subdivision on the property. Reviewing the request in a larger context, if commercial uses are not limited, additional commercial uses could compete with the Federal Way City Center (a proposed Freeway Commercial plan class and zone is under analysis in a Staff Report which summarizes some P AA land use and market infonuation; when complete, this Staff Report will be provided). The reclassification also could affect immediately adjacent uses in tenus of changes in activity levels, noise, aesthetics, and traffic if access is not controlled, such as requiring access from the arterial. It is likely that commercial uses would be clustered away from the single-family areas to the north due to the wetland and wetland buffer, which may help reduce some compatibility concerns. Broader and area-specific compatibility issues could be controlled by regulations, such as limitations on uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, and access (access via the principal arterial rather than through the residential neighborhood). Such regulations are proposed in the Freeway Commercial zone.2 The applicant has also indicated in the application materials a willingness to sign an agreement to limit competitive uses with the Federal Way City Center. Such an agreement could become a development agreement addressing uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, and access. Options to respond to the request include: . Continue with classifications of the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan Pre-annexation plan and zoning classes for Office Park/Single Family High Density and OP and RS9.6 zoning. . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC zoning as requested. . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC zoning as requested, but with a development agreement identifying limitations on uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, and access. A development agreement would require a public hearing with the City Council. . Apply a new Freeway Commercial class and zone, which contains regulations regarding limitations on uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, etc. The regulations could be written to indicate that where the zone is applied the City may condition access to avoid impacts to residential areas or such a condition could be applied at the time of a site-specific proposal. 2 Some City development standards regarding landscaping, lighting, and others would also apply in any case when noncommercial projects are proposed in the OP zone (currently the classification is applied only to a portion of the site), [EXHIBIT '3 PAGE---21-0F 3 S Page 21 of24 February 25, 2004 The Staff Recommendation is to apply a new Freeway Commercial class and zone. Further analysis of a proposed Freeway Commercial plan/zone class will be provided in a Staff Report under separate cover; it will be distributed when complete. North Lake Zoning Petition Request The North Lake Zoning Petition would amend the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan Pre- annexation class and zoning of subject lakefront properties to RS9.6 instead of RS7.2. Since nearly all current lots range in size from 9,600 to 35,000 (see Map 5), there would be no significant impact. Generally, lots would be conforming in terms of size. There may be a lessened potential for future lot yields due to larger minimum lot size requirements. Since the properties are largely developed, this change is not considered significant to land capacity. Options to respond to the request are: . Apply the proposed P AA Pre-Annexation Subarea Plan class and zone of Single Family High Density and RS7.2. This matches the current King County class and zoning essentially resulting in about six units per acre. . Incorporate the petition request for a Subarea Plan Pre-Annexation class and zone of Single Family High Density and RS9.6 (resulting in about four+ units per acre). The current lot sizes meet or exceed the minimum lot size of 9,600. See Map 5. The Staff Recommendation is to incorporate the petition request for a Pre-Annexation Subarea Plan class and zone of Single Family High Density and RS9.6. Rabie Request The Rabie site on S 288th Street just east ofI-5 is a vacant property surrounded by non- residential uses to the north (church), east (vacant future church site) and west (1-5). To the south lies a single-family subdivision. The subject lots may be less desirable for low density residential due to the freeway and nearby institutional uses. The two subject lots are under a single ownership. Generally land classes and zoning are applied to more than one property in a given area. Current County zoning of Neighborhood Business is limited in application to the two parcels due to a property condition limiting uses to self-storage; the property owner has indicated he is seeking a permit with the County to construct a self-storage use. The effects of applying a commercial class to the property were studied and considered by the County at the time the zoning was applied. The City's equivalent zone to the County's NB zone is also Neighborhood Business (BN). However, if the object is to allow for a self-storage use as is limited by King County P-suffix conditions, City classes that allow self-storage are Community Business (BC) and Business Park (BP) zones, but these are fairly intense in the array of possible commercial uses, and they are generally applied to more than one parcel. If the PAA Subarea Plan is modified to match a fEXHH31ir 3 rf~GE :2? OF 3> 3 Page 22 of 24 February 25, 2004 commercial class to the Rabie property, potential effects upon the residential areas to the south could include changes in activity levels, noise, and aesthetics. These potential effects could be mitigated by a development agreement limiting use to self-storage. Application of City development standards regarding landscaping, lighting, and other design standards in the City Code would also help reduce compatibility concerns. Options to respond to the request include: . Continue with the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan Pre-annexation plan and zoning for Single Family High Density and RS7.2 zoning. . Apply a Neighborhood Business and BN zone to the property similar to King County, although this would not accommodate a self-storage use. . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC zoning or BP zoning to accommodate the proposed self-storage use. . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC or BP zoning, but with a development agreement identifying limitations on uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, or other concerns. A development agreement would require a public hearing with the City Council. A commercial class with limitations on uses is similar to the current King County commercial class and NB ZOnIng. The Staff recommendation is to continue with the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan Pre- annexation plan and zoning for Single Family High Density and RS7.2 zoning. The character of the area is primarily residential with some religious facilities, and is not an existing or future commercial node. I. PAA Subarea Plan - Compliance with Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria The Federal Way City Code includes Process VI that identifies requirements for City consideration of Comprehensive Plan Amendments and associated legislative rezones. The P AA Subarea Plan would amend the City Comprehensive Plan and replace the current Potential Annexation Area Element. The Subarea Plan also proposes a Pre-annexation Comprehesnive Plan and Pre-Annexation Zoning, similar to a preliminary areawide rezone, The Process VI criteria for general Comprehensive Plan amendments and legislative rezones are generally as follows (FWCC 22-526, 527 and 530): 1. The proposal bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare; and 2. The proposal is in the best interest of the residents of the city; and 3. The proposal is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendment. rE}i{~n EUT '3 rÞ~GE ;). ~ OF ~? Page 23 of24 February 25, 2004 Additionally the City may consider other factors (FWCC 22-529): environmental effects, land use compatibility, impacts on infrastructure and community facilities, benefits to neighborhoods, city, and region, land use density/type/demand, population density, and similar factors. The proposed P AA Subarea Plan meets the above critieria: Criteria 1 and 2. The P AA Subarea Plan provides for advance planning which benefits the public health, safety, and welfare and the interest of City and P AA residents. By evaluating the feasibility of potential annexations and planning for the future delivery of services, residents of the P AA and the City can make more infonned choices about their future. Criteria 3. The proposal has been evaluated with respect to consistency with the State Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), the related Countywide Planning Policies, and the City's Comprehensive Plan. A detailed matrix was prepared in March 2003, but the P AA Subarea Plan can be summarized as consistent with the following State, Regional, and City "indicator" policies: . Growth Management Act: The Subarea Plan applies urban densities to accommodate growth, avoid sprawl, and provide services efficiently within the Urban Growth Area. The predominant land classification would support urban level densities except in areas with significant environmental or infrastructure limitations. Public service capital and operational needs and improvements are identified to support the P AA land use plans. . Countywide Planning Policies: The land capacity ofthe P AA would accommodate the PAA housing target of 1,320 units and employment target of 134 between 2001 and 2022. Public service capital and operational needs and improvements are identified to support the P AA land use plans. The phasing of services and annexation areas is encouraged in Subarea Plan policies. . City Policies: Proposed Subarea Plan designations and policies support the Comprehensive Plan such as the hierarchy of Commercial Centers by providing for local-serving commercial and mixed-use nodes, and by supporting the predominant residential character of the P AA. Regarding other factors that may be considered, the City has prepared extensive studies of the P AA environment, capital needs, capacity, etc. in the P AA Inventory, LOS Study, and SEP A review as identified in Section IV.O of this Staff Report. J. Planning Commission Action and Staff Recommendations Consistent with the provisions ofFWCC Section 22-539, the Planning Commission may take the following actions regarding the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan, as a Comprehensive Plan amendment: EXI-IIBIT 3 PAGE ~~ OF ~3 Page 24 of 24 February 25, 2004 I Recommend to City Council adoption of the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan as proposed; 2. Recommend to City Council that the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan not be adopted; 3. Forward the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan to City Council without a recommendation; or 4. Modify the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan and recommend to City Council adoption of the Plan as modified. The Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan would help the City of Federal Way and PAA residents and businesses to understand the implications of annexation and the future vision for the area as a part of the City of Federal Way. It is recommended that the Subarea Plan be approved. The following amendments to the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan are also recommended: . Apply the Freeway Commercial Plan class and zone to the Jackson property analysis area. . Amend the North Lake frontage lots to have a Pre-Annexation zone ofRS9.6.

We also noted several common questions or concerns raised by citizens during the public comment portion of the meeting. Responses to Commission and public questions are provided below. Planning Commission Questions 1. What is the intent of policy statements in the P AA Subarea Plan that direct or mandate the County to perform certain actions? A number of these policy statements reflect actions that the County already routinely performs and/or is required to perform, There are, however, several policy statements, which direct the County to perform some action, which at this point they are not obligated to do. We have asked a King County staff member to attend our next meeting and address this issue. 2. What authority does the City have to adopt pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations in an area where the residents are not represented by the City Council. Why did the City and King County choose to initiate preparation of the P AA Subarea Plan and associated land use designations prior to annexation? The authority to prepare the P AA Subarea Plan, including pre-annexation land use and zoning plans is found in three sources: . The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). GMA indicates that counties in consultation with cities shall establish urban growth boundaries. which shall contain cities and areas adjacent to cities that are urban in character, Cities are to be the primary provider of services in urban areas, (RCW 36, 70A,]] 0) The efforts to jointly establish urban growth areas (UGAs) and potential annexation areas (PAAs) within such UGAs are described in Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan Section 3.1. In GMA Comprehensive Plans, land use plans play the centra] role in capital facility, public service, and growth management planning since it is the driver for such supporting elements: ".., The plan shall be an internally consistent document and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use map.., " (RCW 36. 70A,070), . The Countywide Planning Policies for King County (December 2003). The GMA requires countywide planning policies. to which each comprehensive plan must conform, The Countywide Planning Policies for King County require growth phasing plans in UGAs including PAAs. Cities are to adopt criteriafor annexations, See policies LU-29 to 32 in Section 2,2 of the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan, EXHIBIT y . Annexation Laws, RCW 35.13.177. Jurisdictions may prepare comprefðge~aboF plans to become effective upon annexations. Land use plans may address a variety of topics as noted in the law, including land uses, zones, development standards, and other features. A summary of the process to establish pre-annexation land use and zoning districts is provided in Section 6,2 of the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan, 5 The City and County decided to initiate the P AA Subarea Study and Plan prior to annexation to facilitate annexation decision-making and land-use planning within the PAA. The plan furthers the purposes and intent of GMA, Pursuant to GMA the City is the appropriate provider of urban level services to areas within the P AA. This plan provides guidance to citizens, Planning Commissioners, Council Members and stafffor consideration offuture annexation requests. The alternative would be to consider each annexation request on an individual basis absent the context provided by a comprehensive land use plan and policy framework, as is the current circumstance, 3. How many parcels would be rezoned from commercial use to residential land use designations if the P AA proposed land use designations are adopted? Three parcels would be rezoned from commercial to residential designations if the proposed P AA land use designations are adopted. These are the Davis property, the Rabie property and the vacant Sutherland Grocery and Gas Station property located at 34051 Military Rd, S. 4. Of the acreage proposed to be zoned multi-family, what percentage is developed/undeveloped? 235-acres within the PAA are proposed for multi-family land use designations. 77-acres or approximately 33% of this total is currently undeveloped, 5. With regard to the Jackson private amendment request what water body feeds the on-site wetland? Does City code allow off-site wetland mitigation? What type of development restrictions are associated with the on-site easements. The on-site wetland is located within a closed depression, A culvert running under the 1-5 on- ramp discharges into the south end of the wetland. In addition, surface runoff and possibly subsurface springs may feed this wetland. No identified stream is in the vicinity. City çode section 22-1358 (e)(2) does allow off-site mitigation under certain circumstances where development activity affects on-site wetlands. The BP A easement prohibits placement of structures within easement boundaries, Certain types of agricultural uses are permitted, Other uses are subject to BP A approval, including parking lots, roads and landscaping. Likewise the Olympic Pipeline easement prohibits structures within the easement, There are no required setbacks from the edge of the easements. Please see the attached aerial photo (Olympic Pipeline easement not available on attached aerial. The pipeline itself is located within the BP A easement). 6, What is the rationale for the staff recommendation regarding the Davis request? The Davis financial office is an existing use. King County zones it as Neighborhood Business, although the County Comprehensive Plan applies an Urban Residential çategory. The proposed PAA Subarea Plan proposes pre-annexation classifications of Single Family High Density with RS9.6 zoning similar to that applied to the surrounding properties. Applying a single-family class would make the use nonconforming, and site improvements would continue to be nonconforming. A single-family class would recognize the predominant character of the neighborhood, 2 EXHIBIT Lf Options provided to the Planning Commission in the February 25, 2004 staff ,fA~~cma'e? OF 6' . Per the Proposed Final P AA Subarea Plan apply the Single Family High Density plan class and RS9, 6 zone similar to that applied to the surrounding properties, At a Comprehensive Plan level this matches King County's long-range vision, . Apply the Federal Way Neighborhood Business plan class and BN zoning. At a zoning level, this would be consistent with the current King County zoning of NB. Site improvements, however, would remain nonconforming to city code requirements, Additional information about the history of the Davis site was provided by the proponent at the March J 7, 2004 public hearing, and can be considered along with the February 25, 2004 staff report. Specifically, it was observed that a note on the face of the original plat states that the property shall be restricted to business use. The Planning Commission has the prerogative to consider the information and analysis and select an option accordingly. 7. With regard to the Rabie private amendment request why did staff recommend denial of the Rabie request outright rather than proposing conditions of development or some other approach more similar to the Jackson recommendation? The Rabie site on S 288'h Street just east of 1-5 is a vacant property surrounded by non-residential uses to the north (church), east (vacant future church site) and west (1-5). To the south lies a single-family subdivision, The two subject lots are under a single ownership, The current County land use and zoning class is Neighborhood Business with a property condition limiting uses to self-storage; the property owner has indicated he is seeking a permit with the County to construct a self-storage use. The City's proposal is for Single Family High Density and RS7.2 zoning. The character of the area is primarily residential with some religious facilities, and is not an existing or future commercial node. Planning Commission may consider any of the following options as provided in the February 25, 2004 Staff report: . Continue with the Proposed Final PAA Subarea Plan Pre-annexation plan and zoningfor Single Family High Density and RS7.2 zoning, . Apply a Neighborhood Business and BN zone to the property similar to King County, although this would not accommodate a self-storage use, . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC zoning or BP zoning to accommodate the proposed self-storage use, . Apply the Community Business plan class and BC or BP zoning, but with a development agreement identifYing limitations on uses, landscaping, lighting, noise, or other concerns, A development agreement would require a public hearing with the City Council. A commercial class with limitations on uses is similar to the current King County commercial class and NB zoning. The Jackson request evolved into the creation of a proposed new Comprehensive Plan and zoning designation (Freeway Commercial). This allowed staff to tailor specific development standards within the new zoning regulations to address concerns related to the Jackson site and similarly situated sites, The proposed development regulations for the Freeway Commercial zone were drafted to address compatibility issues with surrounding land uses, Staff did not feel a similar approach to the Rabie request was warranted or would lead to a satisfactory solution. 3 EXHIBIT t.j PAGE '-I OF ;:; Public Questions 1., Would adoption of the PAA Subarea Plan cause property to be annexed to the City. Adoption of the P AA Subarea Study will not annex any property to the City of Federal Way, Once adopted the P AA Subarea Study will become a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan, . The purposes of the P AA Subarea Study are to provide early information to citizens and decision makers, provide pre-annexation zoning designations and plan for areas within the P AA appropriate for annexation, including an analysis of the fiscal impacts. In most cases, to accomplish an annexation, citizens within a particular neighborhood or area must approach the City, and request annexation. If the City supports the annexation request, a number of annexation options are available, Typically, methods of annexation include petition or election methods, both controlled by either property owners and/or registered voters. As noted at our last meeting, three annexation requests have been submitted to the City and will be considered after adoption of the P AA Subarea Plan using the election method. There is another method of annexation involving islands of unincorporated area at least 60% of which is contiguous to city limits. In these instances, a city may initiate annexation by adopting an ordinance. Area residents then have 45 days to file an objection to the annexation. If 1 0% of the qualified electors, based on the total number of votes cast in the last state election, within the annexing area object to the annexation, the matter goes to election of residents within the annexation area. 2. What land use designations and zoning would control development activity in the P AA after adoption of the P AA Subarea Plan but prior to annexation of a particular area or neighborhood. After the City adopts the P AA Subarea Plan, zoning designations within the P AA will not change, King County zoning will.remain in effect, Zoning and land use designations will not change to the City classifications unless a particular area is annexed to the City. 3. Is the City promoting annexation in order to gain tax revenue generating property to improve the financial position of the City. Our analysis shows that as a whole the PAA would not generate revenues adequate to pay for City services, Therefore, the City has no financial incentive to annex the entire P AA. In fact the P AA Subarea Plan contains policies that direct the City to only consider annexation of an area when a strategy has been developed to balance costs and revenues.

Staff also has follow up comments on some of the Planning Commission's general discussion. Questions and responses are provided below. Planning Commission Questions 1. What is the County's position regarding the appropriate zoning of the Jackson site? In 2003, King County budgeted funds for a 'subarea plan' to study the feasibility of revisions for land use designations and zoning for parcels at the intersection of 1-5 and South 320lh St. (Jackson site). The subarea plan, however, was not completed. Paul Reitenbauch, of King County Dept. of Development and Environmental Services indicated that the County has not taken a position, formally or informally, with regard to the appropriate zoning of the Jackson site, rather deferring to the ongoing P AA subarea planning process, The property owner's agent indicated that he has submitted a rezone request for Community Business zoning to King County. King County DDES staff indicated they have not received a rezone request for the Jackson site. Once a request is submitted it would be placed on the docket and reviewed by the King County Hearing Examiner and then go to the County Council for a final decision, 2. What type and location of access would the City allow to the Jackson property? Rick Perez, City Traffic Engineer, has prepared a preliminary analysis to clarify the type of access that would be permitted for the Jackson site, recognizing that without a specific proposal and supporting studies, a number of variables remain undefined, To summarize, he indicates that one access point directly to/from South 320lh St. meeting intersection separation requirements would be permitted, but a full signalized intersection without turning restrictions is unlikely to be permitted. A signal is already in place at South 320lh St. and 32nd Ave. S., so signalized access could be provided in this location by way of32nd Ave. S. Mr. Perez's email is attached, EXHIBIT t;; PAGE ;) OF r;; 3. What are the details of the concomitant agreement on the property to the east of the Jackson site within Federal Way City limits? When the property, known as Res, North originally annexed to the City in late 1998/early 1999 with a multi-family zoning designation, the City and the property owner entered into a concomitant agreement limiting the development of the property to single-family uses. The property was subsequently rezoned to Office Park at which time the development agreement became non-applicable to the site. The current zoning of the property is Office Park with no development agreement in place. 4. With regard to the Sutherland Grocery and Gas property why was the site designated as a landmark site? Is the current recommendation of RS9.6 single- family the most appropriate land use designation given the site's Landmark status? Anders Victor Sutherland originally built the Sutherland site in the 1930's as a roadside grocery store with gas pumps out front. The family originally live above the store, which was in operation until 1986. The site has been included in the King County Historic Resource Inventory. At the time our consultant prepared the land use inventory as a preliminary step in preparation of the P AA Subarea Plan, the Sutherland property was under consideration by King County as a Landmark site. Since that time the site has been designated as a King County Landmark. Given the historic character of the site we considered several options including retention of a commercial designation for this site. A City Building Inspector visited the site and concluded that due to the dilapidated condition of the building, renovation of the existing building to meet current code is not a realistic option. It was felt that given the condition of the buildings and the extreme nonconfonnance of the site with regard to setbacks and other development standards, redevelopment or re-use of the existing improvements for commercial purposes is unlikely. Therefore, retention of a commercial designation would not serve to preserve the historic nature of the site. Staff recommends a High Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation and RS9.6 zoning. Surrounding properties to the west and south are also zoned RS9.6. Staff feels that if the site is re-developed, which is considered to be a likely scenario, residential use would be more compatible with surrounding land uses and consistent with the overall land use pattern than commercial use in this location. General Discussion - Staff Follow Up 1. Rabie Zoning Request Based on discussion at the Planning Commission's last meeting it appears there is some interest by the Planning Commission in applying a Community Business Comprehensive Plan classification and BC zoning designation to the Rabie property. The BC zoning allows a wide variety of intensive commercial uses including bulk hardware and garden sales, "big box" retail, health clubs, oversized commercial vehicle facilities and service 2 ...-- EXHIBIT ~ yards, truck stops, taxi lots, tow lots, self-storage units and hospital facifrð~~lln) ?f OF :s; these uses could be incompatible with surrounding single-family zoning and uses. The Land Use Chapter of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan contains locational criteria for each land use designation. The Community Business section of the plan states, in part: "The Community Business designation encompasses two major retail areas of the City: It covers the "strip" retail areas along SR-99 and the "bulk" retail area found near the South 348th Street area, approximately between SR-99 and 1-5." The Rabie property is not consistent with Comprehensive Plan locational criteria for Community Business zoning. In addition, the intensity of potential uses pennitted in the BC zone may create compatibility issues with the surrounding residential land uses. The following are options the Planning Commission could consider related to this site specific request: a. Apply the staff recommendation of Single-Family High Density classification and RS7.2 zoning. b. Apply a Neighborhood Business classification and Neighborhood Business (BN) zoning to the site per the applicant's request and consistent with the current County designation. This would allow a less intensive commercial use of the property, more compatible with surrounding single-family zoning and uses, but would not allow the self-storage use, in which the owner has expressed interest. Additionally, Comprehensive Plan Policy LUP48 in the BN section states that the City shall limit new commercial development to existing commercial areas to protect residential areas. Considering that the County has designated this site as Neighborhood Business, but the property is undeveloped, it raises a policy question as to whether we consider a BN designation of this site inconsistent with the above referenced policy. Review of the BN zone is on the Planning Commission's work program for this year. A request to allow self-storage as a pennitted use in the BN zone has been made and will be considered when this item comes before the Planning Commission. c. Apply the Community Business classification and Community Business zoning (BC), This designation would allow self-storage in addition to a number of higher intensity commercial uses, but is inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan locational criteria and surrounding single-family zoning and uses. 2. Jackson Zoning Request When staff originally reviewed the site-specific request, staff concluded that Community Business (BC) zoning at this location would be inconsistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan. First, the site is not consistent with locational criteria for BC zoning. Second, policies in the plan call for commercial redevelopment of the city center rather than expansion of new commercial areas. The BC zoning would allow uses that 3 EXHIBIT ç:; .. . PAGE t/ OF dIrectly compete wIth the types of uses the ComprehensIve Plan encourages In t~ center, as opposed to the Freeway Commercial (FC) zone, which limits uses to categories that are under provided and not planned for the city center. ,-- =-- The following are options the Planning Commission could consider related to this site- specific request: a. Apply the staff recommendation of the proposed Freeway Commercial classification and Freeway Commercial (FC) zoning. b. Apply RS9.6 single-family zoning on the north portion of the site and Office Park zoning on the south portion of the property fronting on South 320th St. This would match existing King County zoning designations for the site. Under this option, the applicant could always approach the City in the future with a conceptual site plan and request a zoning change, A conceptual site plan would allow decision makers to better understand the future impacts associated with a zoning change on the property, and potentially lead to a developer agreement to restrict uses or impose additional mitigation. c. Apply the Community Business classification and Community Business (BC) zoning to the site. This would satisfy the applicant's request, but would allow a wide variety of intensive commercial uses on the site, including those that compete with city center businesses, which is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.

Per WSDOT design standards, if access is provided (via a new street) within 350 feet of the 1-5 northbound ramp terminal, access restrictions would be required 130 feet from the intersection of S 320th Street on the new street. Per FWCC 22-1543, access onto S 320th Street would be limited to one per 330 feet of frontage. A right-in/right out access would be permittted 150 feet from any other interec tion. A left-turn-in movement would be permitted only 330 feet from any other intersection. Full access would only be permitted at a signalized intersection, which would have to have sufficient side-street volume to meet warrants for signalization, and not create any adverse imapcts from queuing into any other signalized intersection or signal coordination, After required right-of-way dedication for the extension of 32nd Avenue S, the subject property would have 617.92 feet of frontage, based on assessors maps. Since this is less than 660 feet, only one access point would be permitted. This could be a right-in/right-out, and a left-in may also be possible (depending on how far into WSDOT right-of-way the ramp terminal interection is), but it is very doubtful that a full signalized access would be permitted, fi Ie:1 IC: \Documents%20and%20Settings\defauIt\Local%20Settings\ Temp \G W} 0000 I.H... 04/14/2004 :'\ , ~ CITY OF ~ Federal Way EXHIBIT ro PAGE ) OF d DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS) ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA (PAA) SUBAREA PLAN Federal Way File #O4-100482-00-SE Description of Proposal: Adoption of the PAA Subarea Plan prepared in coordination with the overall Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The PAA Subarea Plan provides a Year 2020 long-range land use and policy plan to guide pre-annexation planning efforts and annexation requests. It provides for pre-annexation comprehensive plan and zoning designations; capital facility plans for transportation, surface water, parks, and other facilities; and policies for a variety of natural and built environment topics. When adopted, the plan will be a component of the overall FWCP focusing upon the 5,000-acre future annexation area, and will replace the current Potential Annexation Area Chapter. While the FWCP provides the general goals and policies for land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities, transportation, economic development, and parks and recreation for the P AA as well as the City, the P AA Subarea Plan is intended to address unique characteristics or situations relevant to the P AA. Proponent: The City of Federal Way Department of Community Development Services Location of Proposal: Federal Way Planning Annexation Area (PAA) located in South King County and generally east ofI-5 between South 272od Street and the King/Pierce County boundary, including an area near South 272od Street at Pacific Highway South. Lead Agency: The City of Federal Way City Contact: Greg Fewins, Deputy Director, Community Development Services, 253-661-4108 The lead agency for this proposal has determined that is does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.

COMM RECEIVED BY UNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MAR 1 5 2004 William and Sally Skaflestad 3226 S. 316th Street Auburn, WA 98001 March 11. 2004 City of Federal Way Planning Commission PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 RE: Federal Way File #04-100482-00-SE Dear Sir or Madam: After reviewing the City of Federal Way Memorandum dated February 25, 2004, we are pleasantly surprised to read that the Community Development Services staff is making an attempt to look out for the "little people". One of the specific areas of concern listed in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PM) Subarea Plan is the support of the Single Family Neighborhoods as the primary land use of the PM. As homeowners residing within the PM, our main objective is to protect the character, integrity, and unique qualities of our neighborhood as it currently exists. We want to specifically address the Private Amendment request of Jerry Jackson. The property description includes a brief statement that the property "is located across from office uses." To our knowledge, the only currently practicing office uses are on the south side of 32Oth Street. In our opinion, the statement should accurately read, "... it is located across from office uses on one side along 320th street." In addition, the vacant property identified for future office uses is to the southeast corner rather than "to the east". We respectfully request that whatever zoning classification is chosen, please include the following regulations to protect our neighborhood: ACCESS. Our biggest fear is increased traffic on South 316th Street. This includes the fear of allowing South 316th Street to be used as a shortcut from Military Road to 320th. Will the main access to the Jackson property be 32nd Avenue South off of 320th Street? A 4-way traffic light is already functioning at that intersection. DRAINAGE. Because of the large wetlands area we ask that future development plans meet strict drainage requirements so that existing homes do not suffer increased runoff, standing water, or flooding. EXHIBiT_' PAGELoF-1L- . Page 2 March 11, 2004 NOISE and AESTHETICS. There must be buffers between our neighborhood and 1-5 to protect our privacy and contain noise levels. We also need an aesthetically pleasing buffer between our neighborhood and future development to the Jackson property. We want to keep as many trees as possible. The trees serve as a buffer as well as helping to protect the wetlands and the wildlife that we enjoy in our neighborhood. PROPERTY VALUES. We will hold the City of Federal Way liable for any adverse affect zoning and development have on our property values. RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT to the southwest area of the Jackson property and away from our neighborhood. RESPECT and PROTECT the existing property uses in our neighborhood, including pasture for horses and other farm animals. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to express our concerns. We look forward to reviewing the staff reports when they become available. Sincerely, E- 'X Irl. !

FACTS Mr. and Mrs. Davis have been the owners of the subject property since 1988. At the time of their purchase, the Davises believed the property was zoned for neighborhood commercial uses. An examination of the approved subdivision bears out this belief. In the "Restrictions" language of page 2, Lake Dolloff Tracts, the Davises' lot is "hereby restricted to business use," (Exhibit 1.) The property was used for various commercial pursuits since its original platting in 1942. Barney Lucas, Jr., son of the original owner of the Davises' parcel, declared that the tract was used for commercial purposes continuously between 1946 and 1978. (Exhibit 2.) It should be noted the use was for a construction business. Preston Johnson, Esq., declared that he, too, recalls business uses on the Davis property since at least 1955. (Exhibit 3.) However, for an unknown reason, the zoning reverted to a Single Family designation in approximately 1962. The Davises and all of their predecessors in interest treated the parcel as a commercial property, expanding and changing the use on the parcel. When the Davises became aware of the inconsistent zoning they sought a Conditional Use pennit for their business. King County detennined that a Conditional Use pennit was not the proper vehicle to make their existing business "legal." In 1993 a rezone request was entered by the Davises. (Exhibit 4.) Despite the continuing presence of a small business on the property EXHlb~T- 1 ;', PAGEJ- ._)~.~ Federal Way Planning Commission March 17, 2004 Page 2 for the preceding 50 or so years, the King County Hearing Examiner recommended denial of the request despite signatures from 24 local residents attesting to the asset a business is on that parcel. (Exhibit 5.) On March 17, 1994, an Appeal Statement was submitted on behalf of the Davises. (Exhibit 6.) In the Appeal Statement, the Davises make many of the same points they make today. Mostly, the neighbors along that stretch of Military Road South did not see the adverse impacts of zoning the property according to its long-held use: neighborhood business. Moreover, the Davises submit that a neighborhood business on that parcel is crucial to the character of the area. King County Ordinance 12824, dated July 29, 1997, modified the Hearing Examiner's recommendation for denial. (Exhibit 7.) The King County Council found the original plat restrictions to be dispositive. Furthermore, the Davises' reliance on the original plat, the continuous use of the parcel as a neighborhood business for 45 years prior to the purchase of the parcel, the subsequent de facto treatment of the parcel as a commercial property since 1979, and overwhelming approval by the neighbors, made the denial of the rezone inequitable and untenable. Attached hereto as Exhibit 8, is the site plan drawn for a building permit application made with and approved by King County for the addition of a second story to the existing building. That second story has been built. The site plan more or less reflects the CUITent layout of the lot. It is important to note the constraints of the 9,325 square foot lot. First, the business is not on sewer, and uses a designed and approved septic and drainfield. The drainfield drastically limits development of the property. It is not inconceivable that a residential use on the property would require an expansion of the CUITent drainfield. Second, the legal lot is much smaller than one would perceive from a casual investigation. The jagged fence line along the rear of parcel, the required parking for the business (cuITently seven spaces), and the inability to impact the drainfield and septic, makes the lot fully built out with a building footprint of only 989 square feet. It is inconceivable that this lot would make a desirable single family residence lot. An appraisal done on October 30, 1998 by C. J. Munson and Joseph W. Harris on behalf of Key Bank, bears out this contention. (Exhibit 9.) In the excerpt from the appraisal, it is clear that although theoretical planning concepts dictate that this particular parcel should be designated single family residential, the reality of the parcel's location, size and history is something else. The highest and best use for this parcel is what it cuITently is: neighborhood business. EXHIBIT. PAGE .-" 7_- 1 L__- Federal Way Planning Commission March 17,2004 Page 3 ZONING CONCERNS Typically, to withstand a challenge, a rezone requires a showing of a substantial change in conditions. That is exactly what cannot be shown here. The parcel has always been in commercial use. King County recognized this and correctly rezoned the parcel to its original use. Washington courts have detennined that the main inquiry in spot zone cases is whether the rezone bears a substantial relationship to the general welfare of the affected community. Here, the affected community is the Davises as the property owner and the citizens in and around that section of Military Road South. The community has shown its support in the past for a local business on that parcel. Additionally, that section of Military Road South has a Montessori School, a church, and other small commercial activity. It is the character of the neighborhood that is being preserved, not challenged, by maintaining the Davises' neighborhood business zonmg. Zoning the parcel single family triggers the nonconfonnance chapter of the City of Federal Way zoning code (FWMC 22-325 et. seq.). The City of Federal Way has contended that zoning the Davises' property RS 9.6, would do them no real hann because they would be unable to meet the requirements of the BN zone, presumably in tenus of design guidelines requirements. It appears this belief is predicated on the notion that the current structure could be turned into a single family residence. Ironically, the City's proposed designation ofRS 9.6 would make the parcel nonconforming as to lot size. - It is inconceivable the current building could be turned into a single family- type structure. It was built to be a shop, and was converted into a small office. The second floor pennitted by King County, and built in approximately 2002 contains additional office space. The building looks like a business. Its signage is understated. The property is likely built-out completely short of a sewer line being installed along Military Road South. However, the BN zone would allow the Davises to continue their business without the threats of the nonconformance provisions of the Federal Way code. If the Davises wished to adapt their building for another type of neighborhood commercial use, or level it and build a type of building, the Davises would likely be able to confonn to the design standards Federal Way has enacted. With the small lot size, BN zoning gives the Davises more opportunity to fully use their land to its highest and best use. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONCERNS The City of Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) recognizes King County's development patterns. The City adopted a land use element to its Comprehensive Plan that reflects the history of King County development in the area, and tries to merge that history with good growth ideas. As a result, FWCP delineates certain Land Use Concepts. EXHIB, . -----1 - P AGEJOF--'-L- Federal Way Planning Commission March 17, 2004 Page 4 One such concept is existing neighborhoods should be preserved and enhanced. Rezoning the Davises' land to RS 9.6 fails to either preserve or enhance the existing neighborhood. The FWCP calls for the provision of community and commercial services to residential communities. The Davises' business certainly serves the local area and beyond, and is appropriately placed in an area where there is moderate car traffic, and outside the commercial core of Federal Way. The FWCP calls for the promotion of the development of well designed commercial and office developments. The subject parcel would benefit fÌom the Federal Way design guidelines upon commercial redevelopment. Commercial development on that site arguably provides better opportunities for the City to coax attractive and functional design to the site than does single family development on a small lot. SUMMARY The Davises' property has been used as a commercial property since its inception in 1942. Maintaining the parcel as a neighborhood business zone is not a spot zone per se. Designating the parcel RS 9.6 makes the parcel nonconfonning as to lot size, and considering the constraints of the site, makes single-family residential construction unlikely. Furthennore, the continued operation of a neighborhood business on that parcel is in confonnance with the comprehensive plan. Very truly yours, or A.

The current use of the property is already adequately served by public water service, an on-site septic system, and existing roads. The proposal has no adverse impact upon the environment and is supported by the neighborhood and King County Land Use. KCC 21A.O6.900 would classify this use as a professional office. The City of Federal Way's comment that more control is required of this site is met by the response dated January 27, 1994 by Lisa Pringle, the Supervisor of the Site Plan Review Section of King County Land Use Services Division, defending this rezone and stating that no more intensive use than is occurring currently will be allowed by the proposed rezone. The sole objection, other than the objections of the City of Federal Way, does not come from a neighbor, but from Les Akers, who lives over a mile from the site. The owner has documented business use of this property since 1946. The records of the King County Assessor show that the property has been treated by King County as commercial property since at least 1979. Only one complaint, in 1990, has ever been made against the commercial use of this property. The maker of that com- plaint did not file an objection to this reclassification. Indeed, 24 neighbors publicly supported this request. The current owner bought the property in good faith and has operated the business in good faith. No conditional use. permits, nonconforming use permits, or special use criterion are allowed under KCC 21A.08.060 for professional offices. EXHIsrT '.__d' PAGE~uE EXHIBIT . . . I .I I The owners have complied with and agree to comply with the B-N-P classification recommended by the Department of Development and Environmental Services. Equitably and morally, the County should permit this use to continue. The owner is using this property appropriately, fully within all codes and statutory requirements. Since 1925, this property has been treated as commercial property. without this rezone, the property has no economic value since it is not suitable for a single family home. For the reasons stated, the applicant respectfully requests that the County Council approve this application. DATED this 17th day of March, 1994.

When the Potential Annexation Area Study was completed, we noticed that our lakefront properties were zoned six houses per acre by King County, although the non-Iakefront properties in the neighborhood were zoned four houses per acre. This is using the old King County zoning designations. We submitted a petition to the Federal Way Planning Department asking it to recommend a change in our zoning from six to four houses per acre. The Planning Department agreed with our request and we are here this evening to thank the people in the Planning Department for recommending this change. Just a little background on our petition requesting a zoning change: there were 56 owners of lakefront property on North Lake. Of these 44 households signed in favor of changing the zoning; 4 households did not sign the petition; and 8 households were not available to sign at that time. We would like to ask you, the Federal Way Planning Commission, to vote in favor of this petition request.

Box 9718 Federal Way, Washington 98063~9718 Dear Ms. McClung: I am writing to ask that you carefully examine your city's densities as you prepare to update your comprehensive plan. 1000 Friends of Washington urges cities and counties to provide for development intensities that wisely and efficiently use land to avoid the negative impacts of sprawl. The negative impacts of low- density development include increased capital facility costs and traffic, lack of affordable housing to all income segments and destruction of critical areas. The Growth Management Act (GMA) goals encourage development inside urban growth areas (UGAs) and the reduction of low-density sprawling development I Further, urban growth at urban densities shall be encouraged within the UGA.2 To address these issues and carryout the goals and requirements of the GMA, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board has adopted a 'bright line' rule that comprehensi ve plans and development regulations must have a maximum density of no less than four residential dwelling units per net acre for all lands within the UGA.3 This density "is clearly compact urban development and satisfies the low end of the range required by the [Growth Management] Act,,4 "Any new residential land use pattern within a UGA that is less dense is not a compact urban development pattern, constitutes urban sprawl, and is prohibited."s The board has recognized a limited exception for"... environmentally sensitive systems [that] are large in scope (e.g., watershed or drainage sub-basin), their structure and fl,lllctions are complex and their rank order value is high, ...." Then a local government can apply densities of less than four 1 RCW 36,70A020(l) & (2), ' 2 RCW 36,70AIlO(l). 3 Master Builders Association of Pierce County, Terry L.

To assist cities and counties who are required to review and update their comprehensive plans and development regulations to comply with thé goals and requirements of the GMA by December 1, 2004, 1000 Friends of Washington has reviewed the densities for zones within the urban growth areas for large cities and counties. This initial review has identified the City of Federal Way's RS 15 and RS35 zones as having densities of less than four units per net acre and are, therefore, in violation of the GMA. We urge you to bring these low-density zones and the comprehensive plan designations that provide for the zones into compliance with the GMA as part of the 2004 comprehensi ve plan and development regulations update. We also encourage your city to adopt higher density zones. While the four dwelling unit per acre minimum helps, it is not sufficient in itself. Higher densities are necessary to support transit service and provide affordable housing to all income levels. Generally, a minimum density of 7-12 units per acre is necessary to support transit. Increasing densities can be a difficult issue, but density is perceived and good design can make high density development extremely attractive. 1000 Friends also recognizes that changing zoning densities can be controversial in many communities. We stand ready to publicly support the necessary changes during the 2004 comprehensive plan and development regulations update. Please contact Sydney McComas or Tim Trohimovich both at (206)343-0681 or e-mail: sydney@ 1O00friends.org or tim@ 1000friends.org to let us know of hearings or other public involvement opportunities where this support would be helpful. We have enclosed a supporting document with more detailed infonnation about urban densities and the 'bright line' rule establishing four units per acre as the legal minimum under GMA. If you have any questions or believe we have misidentified any zones, please contact Sydney McComas or Tim Trohimovich at the telephone numbers and e-mails above.

While the four dwelling unit per net acre rule helps, it is not sufficient in itself. To provide transit supportive densities, at least seven homes per acre is necessary.2 In most communities, to provide housing affordable for vvorking families also requires higher housing densities. These needs must be considered in planning for sustainable communities. Minimum Urban Densities The Four Dwelling Units per Net Acre Bright Line Rule To address these adverse impacts the Growth Management Act goals encourage development within the urban growth area (UGA) and call for reducing sprawling 1m" density development.3 Urban growth must be encouraged in UGAs.4 To meet these goals and requirements, The Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (Central Board) adopted a 'bright line" rule that a residential pattern of four net dwelling units per acre or higher "is clearly compact urban development and satisfies the low end of the range required by the [Growth Management] Act") "Any new residential land use pattern within a UGA that is less dense is not a compact urban development pattern, constitutes urban sprawl, and is prohibited,"6 In subsequent cases, the board has clarified that all properties that do not meet limited exceptions have to be designated and zoned at four or more housing units per net acre. As the Central Board recently wrote; In LMIIChevrol1, the Board held, "the GMA requires every city to designate all lands within its jurisdiction at appropriate urban densities," LMIIChevrOlI, [Final Decision and Order], at 23; (underlining in original, italics supplied).

First, if part of the DCA contains "... environmentally sensitive systems [that] are large in scope (e.g., watershed or drainage sub-basin), their structure and functions are' complex and their rank order value is high, ..." then a local government can apply densities of less than four housing units per net acre,9 All three of these criteria must be met to qualify for the exception. Examples of areas found to meet this test have been the "large environmentally sensitive system [that] includes overlapping flood hazard areas, wetlands, critical fish and wildlife habitat areas and corridors.,./I and wildlife habitat diversity areas in MBA/Brink, a wetlands system adjacent to Hylebos Creek in Litowitz, and the overlapping seismic hazards, floodplains, wetlands, and aquifer recharge areas in Benaroya.lO In contrast, in MBA/Brink four areas had "isolated, sporadic and scattered occurrences of flooding, wetlands, or priority habitats that can be appropriately addressed through 7 Master BlIilders Association of Pierce COU!1ty, Terry L.

So these areas did not qualify for densities of less than four dwelling units per net acre, Similarly, in LMI/Chevron a 2.4-acre part of a wetland and pileated woodpecker and banded pigeon habitat on a 60,S-acre property did not meet the Litowitz testY Second, in Bremerton the Central Board also indicated that a major equestrian facility surrounded by "horse-acre lots" may also justify densities less than four dwelling units net acre.13 However, this potential exemption was in dicta which is not an essential part of the decision and is not legally binding. So this potential exemption should be carefully evaluated before it is used. In footnote 6 of the MBA/Brink Order Finding Partial Noncompliance and Continuing Invalidity, the Central Board included this note of caution against using applicant initiated rezones or planned unit developments (PUDs) to reach the minimum four dwelling units per net acre density. It should be the exception, rather than the rule, that lands within UGAs do not yield a minimum density of 4 du/acre. Insuch exceptions, a variety of flexible regulatory mechanisms are available to local governments to accommodate new development when challenged by difficult topography, parcel shapes or other localized constraints, Nevertheless, the Board cautions against reliance on certain pre-GMA tools, such as planned unit development permits and site specific rezones, as the primary mechanism to enable developers to reach the GMA-rnandated minimum urban densities. The growth accommodation mandate of RCW 36.70A.1l0 and the permit processing guidance of RCW 36.70A.020(7) would be thwarted if, in order to meet these mandates, an applicant would also be required to show "changed circumstances" (pre-GMA rezone criteria) or "public benefit" (classic PUD criteria),14 Indeed, the four housing unit per acre minimum should be allowed as of right. Also, to meet the other requirements of the Growth Management Act and to wisely use our limited land resources, most residential zoning should have maximum densities much higher than four dwelling units per net acre, It MBA/Brink, Final Decision and Order pp. *12-13 2002 WL 31998487 p, *13. 12 Lawrence Michael Investments.

The board answered no: Notwithstanding maintenance backlogs, RCW 36.70A.110 clearly imposes a duty upon local governments to accommodate urban growth. There is no question that the Act requires local jurisdictions to plan for and accommodate new growth -- that projected by OFM and allocated by the County. [FN 15] Thus, capital facilities plans must certainly identify, locate, and take steps to finance those capital facilities that are needed to accommodate new growth. There is no provision in the GMA to suggest that the Act allows a jurisdiction not to accommodate new growth because it has a capital facilities maintenance backlog, or it has not guaranteed funding to remove any maintenance backlog, or it is postponing indefinitely its duty to accommodate new growth until its maintenance backlog is removed or reduced. To do so would fly in the face of one of the cornerstones of the GMA.15 This same reasoning would indicate that a lack of capital facilities in the urban growth area would not allow densities lower than four dwelling units per net acre. Rather, the city or county is required plan for and finance the capital facilities needed to accommodate compact urban development at a minimum of four dwelling units per net acre. The Central Board has also addressed the issue of whether RCW 36.70A,020(4)'s goal of encouraging the preservation of the existing housing stock and RCW 36,70A,O70(2)'s requirement to "ensur[e] the vitality and character of established residential neighborhoods" affects the duty to designate and zone residential areas at a net density of at least four dwelling units per"acre. Again, the board has answered no. t5 West Seattle Defense Fund and Neighborhood Rights Campaig/1 (WSDF IV) v. City of Seattle, CPSGMHB Case No. 96-3-0033 p. *32,1997 WL 176356 p. *27 (March 24,1997). ("FN15. In Hensley v. City ofWoodi/1ville, CPSGMHB Case No. 96-3-0031, Final Decision and Order (1997), at 9, the Board held: The GMA creates an affirmative duty for cities to accommodate the growth that is allocated to them by the county. This duty means that a city's comprehensive plan must include: (1) a future land use map that designates sufficient land use densities and intensities to accommodate any population and/or employment that is allocated; and (2) a capital facilities clement that ensures that over the twenty-year life of the plan, needed public facilities and services will be available and provided throughout the jurisdiction's UGA. In Benaroya, et al. v. City of Redmo/1d, CPSGMHB Case No, 95-3-0072c, Finding of Compliance (1997), at 8, the Board clarified that this affirmative duty means that cities are to: 'give support to,' 'foster' and 'stimulat~' urban growth throughout the jurisdictions' UGAs within the twenty-year life of their comprehen~.' plans,") EXHIB\T_, ~I_---" Urban Densities are Required to be at Least Four Housing tPAGfÑet ,Wc~ ;II '-' The GMA clearly encourages the preservation of existing housing stock (See RCW 36.70A,O20(4)) and provides for ensuring the vitality and character of established residential neighborhoods (See RCW 36.70AO70([2]). However, as the Board stated supra, "any opportunity to perpetuate an 'historic low-density residential' development pattern, in the Parkland Spanaway Midland area, ended in 1994 when the County included the area within the UGA." It is clear that existing housing stock and neighborhoods may be maintained and preserved, however existing low-density patterns of development cannot be perpetuated.11> The Meaning of Net For properties that do not qualify for the limited exceptions, the definition of net may be an issue in crafting comprehensive plan policies and development regulations, The Central Board defined "net" in Benaroya v. City of Redmond: As applied to GMA planning exercises, "net" has the same general meaning as "buildable." Most cities within King County determined what their "net" land supply was for purposes of the County's DGA allocation exercise, From the record in Vashon-Maury, the Board is aware that various cities in King County deducted, for example, public rights-of-way and environmentally sensitive lands in order to determine the "net supply" of buildable land. Generally speaking, the concept of "net" remains the same when applied to a specific parcel of land - that portion which is encumbered with rights-of-way or certain critical areas would not be available for the placement of housing, for example. II So in calculating net densities, the unbuildable land may be deducted from the gross acres to determine the net acres. Additional Growth Management Act Provisions that Require Higher Residential Densities It is important to remember that the four dwelling unit per net acre rule is a floor. There are other Growth Management Act provisions that will require higher residential densities, They include: .

Practice Tips In planning for urban densities, consider the following recommendations: . Almost all of the land within the DGA will require a density of four housing units per net acre and most will require greater densities to achieve community goals and to comply with all of the goals and requirements of Growth Management Act. Remember four units per net acre is lithe low end of the range required by the [Growth Management] Act"24- .

Both the Central and Western Boards have held that extensive critical areas should not be added to the UGA.25 . Build a good record showing why the less than four housing units per acre density is needed and that you have enough land elsewhere to meet your adopted growth targets. Maps showing the critical areas are very helpful and were specifically referred to in MBA/Brink. Aerial and ground photos help too. In both Litowitz and Benaroya, the fact that it was undisputed that both cities had adequate land for their growth targets impressed the board. . The more critical areas the merrier. In both Benaroya and MBA/Brink, the areas that were upheld for less than four housing units per acre zoning had multiple critical areas. . The critical areas should cover the whole area or almost entirely the whole area if you want to apply the LitowÎtz rule, This was important in Litowitz, Benaroya, and MBA/Brink. .

The Davises have requested that the Commission modify the proposed zoning under the PAA from RS 9.6 (single family residential 9,600 square feet) to BN (neighborhood business). The City planning staff contends that the Davis parcel cannot meet the development standards under BN zoning. It is our understanding that the planning staff has determined that there is no advantage to the Davis property being zoned BN rather than RS 9.6. The assessment that the Davises' property would be non-confom1ing as to either RS 9.6 or BN zoning is conjectural. We have been advised by Mr. Fewins that, based on his experience with the Federal Way Municipal Code ("FWMC"), the Davis property could not meet the rigorous development standards of the code. This assessment was accomplished without "a detailed revic\'v' of the site development." City of Federal Way lvfemorandllm dated February 25, 2004 to John Caulfield, Chair of the Planning Commission from Kathy McClung, Director of Community Development Services, p. 19. In addition, Mr. Fewins invited the Davises to submit a site development plan that would show the city staff that development on the site could occur in a manner confom1ing to the ßN zoning. However, the Davises have no current plans for redevelopment of the property. Therefore, they have no future site development plan, . The Davises expended considerable resources in the initial rezone under the King County ordinances and are continuing to do so in light of the City's potential annexation of the area. Essentially, the City would require the Davises to attempt to do again what they accomplished in King County, i.e" zone their property properly to match the existing and historic use. EXHIBIT_.J - P AGE-¥1-JF ~ Planning Commissioner April 5, 2004 Page 2 Here, the Potential Annexation Area encompasses urbanized King County and those development patterns should be respected. Changing the underlying zoning will not change the uses on the property to meet the theoretical demands of the underlying zone. A theoretical concern was expressed to the Davises by City staff that a BN zone in an area generally zoned RS 9.6 would be a spot zone. That concern is unwarranted. The zone is existing under King County ordinance and adopting the City of Federal Way comparable zone of BN would not place the City of Federal Way in a position of having approved a spot zone. The State Supreme Court has described spot zoning as follows: Spot zoning is a zoning action by which a smaller area is singled out of a larger area or district and specially zoned for a use classification totally different from, and inconsistent with, the classification of surrounding land and not in accordance with the comprehensive plan. Citizens for Mount Vernon v. Mount Vernon, 133 Wn.2d 861,875,947 P.2d 1208 (1997). This situation is inapposite to a traditional spot zone challenge. Here, the city would only be adopting the existing zone and would face no exposure in doing so. The subject business at this intersection existed for over 40 years. It is "in accordance with the [existing] comprehensive plan." /d. It does not meet the criteria of a spot zone. City staff has also made clear that they feel the parcel would be non-conforming either as a BN zoned parcel or as an RS 9.6 zoned parcel. In essence, the City proposal would foreclose any opportunity for the Davises or their successors in interest to develop the property in accordance with the BN zone and to maintain historic business uses on the property. The rezone of a parcel by a municipality should recognize historic uses and consistent potential development on a parcel. The Davis parcel is not so large that its development as a commercial property would have impact outside of its immediate neighborhood. EXHIBIT.. PAGE_«t' 7. ,»,' " ,,- "--- Planning Commissioner April 5, 2004 Page 3 Finally, as the Davises and many of the neighbors have testified, the Davises have gone through all the required steps to make their property conforming. We respectfully submit that, to require that the Davises revert to 1962 in terms of the zoning of their property, the City would do a great injustice to the Davises.

Without having yet consulted with a legal advisor, I believe that this application has not been handled as required by the Municipal Code, neither in time nor in shape. According to the Law, a request to rezone needs to be communicated in writing to the owners of Residential properties located within 300 feet of such property. Signs should also be posted in locations where they are easily visible. I base the claim that this application was improperly handled on the following arguments: 1. The written notification. a. I live within the 300 ft of such property and have not received any written notification in such regards, statement that I willing to put in writing and under oath, if necessary. b. None of the neighbors I communicated with recalls receiving such notice. c. When I approached City Staffers, I was informed that a written notification was actually sent out (which I claim I did not received as specified above). I was provided with a copy of such letter, and a list to which this letter was supposedly mailed to. I am attaching a copy of this letter as Exhibit A. Please note that this letter is just a Notice of Public Hearing regarding, in general, to the Potential Annexation Area, the Freeway Commercial Zone, and the Quadrant Request, and secondly a notice for the Adoption of the City of Federal Way, Potential Annexation Area Subarea Plan. At any time, was there a notification of the specific Application submitted by Mr. Jackson, listing a date of submission, and a deadline to challenge this application in writing by the Public. 2. The Signs, a. No signs were ever present at or near the property in question. It is on these grounds that I request this honorable Commission to use. its authority to: 1. Thoroughly investigate the legality of the process followed both by the Applicant and the City Staffers on the handling of this application, including the proper communication to the public, as required by law, More precisely, this Commission should specifically determine what Section/s, Article/s, and Subsection/s of the City Code describe the process currently in place. 2. Reject this application if this process followed by the Applicant and/or the City Staff did not follow the requirements specified by the Law.

This proposal was presented by a party identified as Jackson to change the zoning of currently empty lots from Residential to Commercial. This change could potentially attract businesses such as car dealerships and other retailers, I'm concerned that the following items are not being addressed in the proposal: . Preservation of the wet lands and wild life located in the property in question, How increased noise and traffic resulting from the establishment of a large business, will affect the residential area that surrounds the property proposed for rezoning, I'm also extremely concerned that I didn't receive any notification form the City of Federal Way regarding the proposed rezoning. I believe that public participation should be an essential part of this process as any changes to the zoning will deeply affect my property value and quality of life, I expect the city staff to address my concerns in writing and set up new hearings to discuss the Jackson proposal plenty in advance, to give me the opportunity to fully participate in the decision-making process. Anything less would be unacceptable and a reason for me to consider legal action, Regards, (>íYv1 PI Ana Tischler EXHI8IT- 7 PAGE_$I A"o 0011- Karen Bush 3218 S, 316th St. Auburn, WA 98001 April 7, 2004 Planning Commission City of Federal Way 33530 First Way South P. O. Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 RE: Opposition to change of zoning designation at 1-5 and S 320th St., as proposed by Jerry Jackson Dear Planning Commission Members: I am writing to protest the proposed zoning changes for the seven properties located on approximately 23 acres, north of S. 320111 Street, and east of 1-5. I fear that this change will have a detrimental impact on my neighborhood, This neighborhood includes the eighteen houses in the Courtney Downs development, plus neighbors that border either side of South 316111 Street. I am opposed to this zoning change as proposed for the following reasons: 1) Property Values and Quality of Life I am concemed about the impact this change may have on property values in our neighborhood. Property on the east side of 3200 Avenue is currently zoned as single-family, residential. It seems that an abrupt difference may be created by changing the zoning on the facing properties, west of 3200 Avenue, to a Commercial or Freeway Commercial designation. The requested change would allow for placing commercial concerns, such as car dealerships, in close proximity to the current neighborhood. This would likely introduce a high risk of unpleasant noise, traffic, light, and safety issues. 2) Wetlands The properties in question overtap with an area of more than 5 acres that has been designated as wetlands, Therefore the zoning change seems inappropriate, and may interfere with efforts to restore the Hylebos waterway and salmon runs. Initially, I supported incorporation of our neighborhood under the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Plan. However, now I am worried that the City of Federal Way is more interested in increasing tax revenues by encouraging this type of commercial development, than it is concerned about the impact on its potential citizens, I hope that this is not the case. I thank you for the opportunity to make my concerns known, I would appreciate receiving any notifications concerning future events that will take place as part of the zoning review process.

Box 9718 Federal Way, W A 98063-9718 Re: 1-5 Jackson Parcels Dear Planning Commission: Building a solid foundation in the community starts with bringing people and businesses together. The Jackson 1-5 parcels will do just that. These parcels of land are impacted by Freeway noise and congestion, which make them already unsuitable for residential property. History shows us that property such as this, that is both visible and accessible, serves communities by being Business Commercial. This property is no exception, though it is an exceptional property. It has always been felt that this property, with commercial usage, would serve as the lynch pin to bridge the gap between the existing city and the Potential Annexation Area. This property is the logical first step for the people on the East Side to feel a kinship to the City of Federal Way. Because this property will inevitably be joined to the city, it should be Business Commercial to allow full citizenship rights to those people making their home East of the Freeway. It is the request of All-American Homes, mc that this commission suggest the Jackson 1-5 parcels be recommended onto the LUTC as Business Commercial Zoning.

By having a neighborhood shopping center, not only do you have convenience at your fingertips, but a variety of services can be provided as well. More than Just a grocery store, It can be a neighbor- hood center too. Building a solid foundation in the community starts with bringing people and business together. The neighborhoods and businesses have a mutual benefit and dependence upon each other. For example, a drive-through coffee shop located near a shopping center and a neighborhood allows for you to have a cup of coffee on your way to work or it can be a ¡,.I great place for neighborhood meetings. We are striving to encourage quality businesses to entertain the growing needs of your community. Whether it's a grocery outlet or drug store, we understand that time with your family is important and should not be spent sitting in traffic.

Ill' stated these hearIngs address: I) the draft P^^ Subarea Plan: 2) amendments to that plan (site-specific requests): and 3) the new Freeway Commercial í',oI1lng designation. These hearings do not address the annexation process. Ms. (ìrueter dehvered a presentation on the purpose and process of the P;\;\ Subarea Plan. The COml1llSSiOn dIscussed annexations. The current City Councll policy is to wait to hcar tì'()m citizens If they have an Interest in annexation. Sincc IIlcorporatIon, the City has annexed three areas; two resulted III a net surplus to the Clly and one in a net loss, with an altogether net surplus. There \vould be an IIlcrease III taxes to areas that choose to annex to the City because of the CIty's utility tax, but they would gain a hIgher level of service. It was noted that the P;\;\ Subarea Plan is not a l1lechaI1lsm to annex areas, but designates the future zoning for areas Ifthcy choose to annex to the City.

This new zoning classification is being considered to: provide unique development opportunities along the 1-5 and SR 18 corridors; capture retail markets not currently strongly represented in Federal Way; and capture significant tax revenue. An owner of property in the P AA requested Commercial Business (BC) zoning, but staff felt it was inappropriate, Reasons for this are: Federal Way already has a lot of land designated commercial, adding to these could work against the City's plans for the City Center, and the proposed Freeway Commercial zone has fewer uses. New signage designation is proposed for this new zone. If the Freeway Commercial zone were adopted, goals and policies would have to be added to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Shull noted that the height for pole signs was corrected and changed from 20 to 15 feet. Commissioners expressed concern that this new zone would draw businesses away from Pacific Highway South. Ms. Shull commented that the trend seems to be to have enough land available so a number of different auto dealerships can congregate in an "auto-mall" setting. The Commissioners asked if that is really the image we want to have at the entrance to our City. The Commissioners asked if we are lacking in other retail areas, why not pursue them, as opposed to a new zone. The Commissioners asked if the staff has a map with all the parcels in the City that would be eligible for this new zone. The Commissioners want to be sure that this proposed zone would not allow "big-box" retail. The Commissioners would like to know if signs are allocated by parcel or use. P AA Site-Specific Requests Ms. Grueter went over the four site-specific requests. Commissioner Osaki asked that the record reflect that he works for the City of Auburn, Public Testimony was opened. Thor Hoyle - He represents the Davis site-specific request. He also submitted written comments. He feels this request is different from the other site-specific requests because there has been a business on this parcel since 1946. It has been an office use since 1979. The current King County zoning is almost the same as Federal Way's Neighborhood Business (BN) zone. It is his understanding that part of the reason for zoning this residential is the belief that the property would not be able to meet Federal Way BN requirements, He feels the property can meet these requirements. He stated there is no way the current building could be turned into a home (it is only 900 square feet). There is no sewer and the lot is built-out. It is a comer lot, on a road that is not very busy, It has minimal signage, no parking problems, no egress or ingress issues, and no retrofit problems, It will stay as it is for the foreseeable future. Louise Davis - She purchased the property in 1998 and soon ran into legal problems with King County because it was not zoned for a business, It took a lot of time and effort, but the parcel was rezoned and she is now legal. It upsets her that she would again be iIIegal if the staff recommendation is adopted. Chuck Gibson - He spoke in regards to the Northlake request and represents the owners. Of 56 owners, 44 signed a petition in favor ofRS 9.6, four did not, and eight were not available. The RS 9,6 zone better fits the neighborhood, Alan Ulnyg - He spoke in regards to the Davis request. He has known her for several years and watched her go through the legal hassles. He supports her request. He feels it is better for the community, KIptanning Commissionl2004lMeeting Summary 03-17-04.doc/Last printed 4/2812004 to,23 AM Planning Commission Minutes .,; ,.< U ,; March 17, 2004 ---~.^~.,--~- Page :1 --.~'" :- ;'" ¡o r; ,...- , i'-< 3. .~ )) GmT Anderson - He spoke in regards to the Davis request. He feeis the' govemïTîër1t ~s 1àkîñg'" her property rights. He feels the land value of her property \\Ill go down if it is zoned residential. lie knows the City wants to annex them and he doesn't want the City to take her property rights by downzoning D&D Accounting. They are good for the community, She already went through the steps to be legal and now the City wants to change it back. It would close the business, rum their retirement, and put employees out of work. Christ), Ficld -. She asked Ifit was true that King County wants to have them annex to Federa] Way and they have no choice? She has livcd here 40 years and docs not want to be part of the City. The Commissioners wanted to make it clear that annexation would happen only if some citizens m the are3 ask the City to be annexed, BJ McMasters - He commented that he has 900 feet on freeway (on Military) and is happy with it. He wants to be in the County, not the City. He has a surface water problem that no one (county or state) has helped him with, Neil (Joldingm' - He is not impressed with the proposed Free\vay Commercial zone. He is open to the idca of annexation. He feels King County has done a good Job, He would love to see the City improve Military Road like PacIfic Highway South and make it a safer road, He also stated that the intersection of 288th and Military needs work in regards to trash, empty buildings, and vandalism. Lee Rabie - He feels the City is taking the Davis property and his propeI1y, This will cost him 12 million dollars. He feels the City staff is mean-spirited and deceitful. King County stafT is fairer and has more experts. He stated that the City's permitting proeess is broken and gave the example of a ehurch, He stated that he would fight if the City attempts to take his property. Norm Ingersoll- He stated that the map of the Rabie property is inaccurate because it shows a road that does not exist. Land is sct aside for the road, but eurrent]y it is trees and open space, He is not favor of the proposed Freeway Commereial zone or annexation. We should not compete with Aubul11, but work with them. Whatever happens, the 320th bridge over 1-5 needs to be fixed. It is too congested. In addition, Military Road needs to be made safer. He feeJs the' mailings on this issue were sporadic and few people knew of this meeting. He knows the City needs more money, but they should not seek more retail. but other kinds of businesses. Rick Reese ¡ Ie thanked the Commission for IIstenmg to the comments. He said that cars make no sense for a bedroom community. I Ie commented that the CIty should not think in the short- term. I Ie feels the City doesn't fÖllow the mandate of the voteh and cited CeJcbration Park as an example. The CIty needs to look at the carrying capacity of essential servlees. Sidewalks, water, etc. need to be m place before the City continues to develop. Mic/¡ael J'isc/¡/er I Ie spoke 111 regards to the Jackson request. I Ie lIves near the proposal. The topography that surrounds those lots IS very dIflerent from the northeastern sIde. The proposed new I'reeway ('ol11merelal zone would he better t~lell1g :120tll, but not near the sll1g1c-bmIly lots on the northeast.

Alternate Plallllillg Commissioller - Does the staff know how many parcels in the P AA have been rezoned from commercial? He feels the proposed Freeway CommercIal zone is a separate issue and asked why are we creating a special classification for one request (Jackson), but not another (Davis)? He feels the P AA study should deal with the fìnancJaI aspects but not the zoning, until such time an area actually annexes to Federal Way. He feels that this way we are imposing zoning on people who cannot vote for Federal Way Counc¡] Members. He asked if this is implemented, what would be the impact on people who want to change their zoning before their area annexes to Federal Way (if it ever does)? A/Ill Rlackwe// She Jives near the Davis property. She commented that the traftìc IS heavy on M¡]ítary Road. There are times she feels she risks her Jife when pulling out of her dnveway, Jackie Moore - She spoke to the impact on the Northlake area. She said it would cost more money to annex and it would come out of our pocket book (property owners). There was no further public testimony. Since the public hearings will be continued, further pubJic testimony will be allowed. Chairman Caulfield read three letters into the record. The Commissioners asked about the way in which poJicies are stated, Some say, "City shall do this" and others say, "County shall do this," what does this mean? The Commissioners asked who is and is not the governing body of the P AA? They asked that a representative from the County be invited to the next public hearing, They would Jike to know how many multi-family parcels are developed and undeveloped. They requested that the Freeway Commercial proposal be "tightened"; taking into account the issues raised at this meeting. They would Jike to know what water body feeds the wetland on the Jackson property and is there any opportunity for off-site mitigation? They would Jike an aerial photo of the Jackson site and BP A easement in order to gain a feel for how much of the site could be developed.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Ms. Wang delIvered a presentation on the City of Federal Way 2005 - 2006 Biennial Budget. She noted that whlle the City's tax burden is $63 higher than King County's, the City provides more services, and a tax break for 10w-ll1come senior citizens is available. CO¡W\IISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC 1IE,\RINC - Potcntial Anncxation Arca (PA:\.) Subarca Plan Mr. Conlen went over the stairs responses to the CommhSlon's and public's questions from the last meeting. The ('ommisslon questioned where access would be for the Jackson request. Mr. Perez responded that the prImary access would probably be from 32"" Avenue South. The Washmgton Department of Transportation would have to approve any access to/from 320111 Street and if they al1owed any access, it most lIkely would be nght-ll1/right-out only. Mr. Dohrn addressed the Kll1g County polIcies question r~l1sed at the last meetll1g. He stated that the stall had spoken to Kll1g County about provldll1g a representative for this mectll1g. but negotiations ICI1 through. One concern Kll1g County has about providll1g a representatIve is that they are working with the City Manager's onlce on this Issue and want to be sure no miscommunication occurs.

Michael Tischler - He showed a PowerPoint presentation of the area with aerial and ground photos of the single-family homes on 32nd and 316th. He commented that the last report said one of the goals ofthe change is to make adjacent parcels more alike. He feels his presentation shows the change will actually make adjacent parcels more different. Del Carlino - He lives on Lake Doloffand asked if the City was planning to annex the area. The Commission explained that this process only adopts future comprehensive plan zoning designations for the area that would take effect only if citizens in the area request that they be annexed to the City. Roy Ruffino - He spoke on the Jackson request. He stated it seems to be an adversarial issue and most neighbors are against it. He commented that off-site mitigation would not do any good in this area. He requested the City consider future relations with neighbors in the area when making their decision, Karen Bush - She stated her opposition to the Jackson request. James Awarado - He stated his opposition to the Jackson request. He commented it would decrease the quality of life in the area. There would be more traffic and more lights at night. Steve McNey - He is with All American Homes and represents the Jackson request. He commented that the Freeway Commercial zone is a compromise for them. They did not request this zoning from the City; rather they want Community Business (Be) so they can build a grocery store. A grocery store would decrease the traffic traveling west on 320th. A grocery store in this area would also capture traffic going to Auburn. They want to do a development that would be good for the neighborhood and the City. He stated they have been negotiating with King County and the County supports the BC zoning. He stated they have spoken with car dealerships and the dealerships say the sign code would be a deterrent. They have heard from grocery chains wanting to locate in the area. He commented that this side of 32nd would not make good residential property. One reason is because of the freeway noise. Gary Anderson - He stated his opposition to the Jackson request. He said that due to Mr. McNey's comments, most of what he had to say has gone out the window. He commented that he wants to keep auto dealerships out of the area. He lives only 60 feet away from the Jackson property, Planning philosophy denotes a gradual change from one use to another. This would be a sharp change. It would reduce the value of the homes in the area. He gave the Commission a petition signed by 52 people opposed to the zoning change, It would impact more than just his neighborhood, It would make traffic on 320th much worse, He feels it is not right that representatives that people in the neighborhood cannot vote for are making this decision. Louise Davis - She is the applicant for the Davis request. She asked if there are any other properties comparable to hers (staff replied the Sutherland Grocery and Gas property is similar, but it is abandoned). She challenged the Commission to consider that property; it hasn't operated KIPlanning Commissionl2004lMeeting Summary 04-07-04.docILast printOO 4/28/2004 10;23 AM Planning Conunission Minutes April 7, 2004 PAGE 7 OF----1L in years while hers is a thriving business. She spent a lot of money to re-establish her property as commercial with King County and does not want to do again for the City. It would not be possible for this to be a residential lot. Bryan Cope - He spoke on the Jackson request. He lives nearby. The City should keep businesses together and not place them out here. An auto mall should go along Pacific Highway near the other auto dealerships. There is no visibility of the property from 1-5 from the south and it would be a distraction from the north. Freeway Commercial zoning would change the City's "curb appeal." The City should work with SeaTac Mall to get more businesses to locate at the mall. Because of the wetlands, developing the Jackson property would be more trouble than it is worth, There is already a lot of noise in the neighborhood due to 1-5 and this would increase the nOIse, Lois Kutscha - She spoke in favor of the Northlake request. She wants to see the zoning changed from six to four houses per acre. Carla Laslella - She spoke on the Jackson request. She had figured it would be office park, like other properties in the area. She is concerned for the children in the area who ride their bikes along 32nd and 316111, She is concerned auto dealerships would bring in transients who have no feeling for the community. She feels access to the site would make more sense if it were from the freeway as opposed to 32nd. Steve Charles - He spoke on the Davis request. As a small business owner, he knows the Davis's look upon this business as their retirement and it would be very detrimental to them to lose it. He commented that the building would not work as a home. Because 308111 Place is in the wrong place, according to the title insurance, the property is in the road. Because of this when they remolded, they had to change the setback on the second floor. There is only one bathroom and no place to put a second. There is no place a garage could go. The current building would have to be demolished in order to have a residential use on the property. Pam Ditzhazy - She spoke in opposition to the Jackson request. She lives on the comer of 32nd and 316111. She is concerned about the noise and light auto dealerships would bring. She is also concerned about the safety of the children and the increased traffic, Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner - If the Jackson applicant does not want Freeway Commercial, what other uses would be good for this area? Since they don't want it, why pursue the Freeway Commercial zoning? The City needs to communicate more clearly about the P AA issue because miscommunication has caused unneeded stress, The Commissioners commented that the P AA Subarea Plan has been in the works for 1 Yz to 2 years, Numerous public meetings have been held that have been mailed to various citizens and agencies within the PAA, and advertised in the paper and on the City's TV Channel. Doug Parter - He spoke on the Davis request. He commented that community members do not have the ability to fight policy and that is what this is about. Val Caulder - He spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. A through street to 320111 would increase traffic on 316111 because people would use it to avoid the intersection of 320111 and Military. It would be a faster way to 1-5, Currently they ride horses on 316111 and would no longer be able to do that.

The streets in this neighborhood are currently wonderful to walk along, but this would increase the traffic and they would no longer be safe. The Commission discussed the site-specific requests. The Commission would like to know King County's plans for zoning on the Jackson property and clarity on the access for the Jackson property. They would like to know the uses allowed by the concomitant agreement for property to the east of the Jackson request. They would like to know what properties could be zoned Freeway Commercial.

It was stated that a development agreement is an option for the Rabie property. PUBLIC IIEARING - Ncw Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification Ms. Shull delivered a presentation on questions raised at the last public hearing. Because the Commission wantcd to know what parcels this proposed zonll1g could be applied to, she showed a map of the current zonlllg In the areas considered for thIs proposed ZOl11ng classification. Ms. Shull commented that if this zoning classlfìcatlon IS approved, any owner wlshlllg to apply thIs proposed zone to their property would have to go through the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment process. PUBLIC IIEARING - 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amcndmcnts - Quadrant Site-Specific Rcqucst Ms. Clark delIvered the statl n:port. CommiSSIoner Newport recused himself from the Quadrant site- specific request. This IS a request to delete a proposed road fì'om the Federal Way Compre/¡ellsive Plall (FWCP). The road 111 question IS an extensIOn ofWeyerhaeuser Way. The City Council required the K i'1"'"""g(""u""""n2'HI4Mcc""gS"""",ns04.2t.O4du, Planning Commission Minutes ~ April 21, 2004 Page EXH I B IT applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of de~~n9~~Qf~ensive plan. The study concluded that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed action, Due to this proposal, Mr. Perez asked the Commission to consider amending the comprehensive plan to make 32nd A venue South a principal collector from South 320lh Street to approximately South 3161h Street. The meeting was opened to public testimony. Commissioner Duclos informed the Commission that she had spoken to Steve McNey and encouraged him to bring his comments to this public hearing. Wally Costello - Applicant for the Quadrant request. He explained their proposal for the parcels the road would pass through and showed how the road would be detrimental to the proposed project. There are wetlands on the property that will restrict development and a road would restrict it further. Joanne Kirkland - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She stated that the map in the staff report shows 31th as a through street (from 32nd to Military), but it is not. The report also says that a grocery store would decrease the amount of traffic in the area, but how could adding retail decrease the amount of traffic? She also commented that she recently learned that the PAA process has been going on for some two years, but this is the first she has heard about it. She is concerned that annexation would raise taxes and services would go down. This is a safe area for children and she is concerned that will change. Chairman Caulfield asked if King County mailed a notification of the P AA Subarea Plan to those within the P AA? Ms. Grueter replied that the issue was on the King County website, but for the most part, the City of Federal Way mailed the notifications. A notification had been sent in the utility mailings. Charles Gibson - He spoke his support of the Northlake request and said he was available if the Commission had any questions. Cindy Cope - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She feels there is no need to bring more retail into the area. There is a lot of available retail space in Federal Way, such as the vacant theater and empty spaces in the Mall and Ross Plaza and SeaTac Village, etc. This area is a very private neighborhood that is safe for children to ride their bikes, Opening 32nd would bring more traffic, which would make it more dangerous for children to ride their bikes and would bring in more crime. Steve McNey - He is the Jackson property manager. They want Community Business (Be) zoning because they feel they can best serve the neighborhood and the City with that zoning. They are not trying to compete with the downtown core. A grocery store in this area would decrease traffic on 3201h, would proved a tax base to the City, and would provide a service to the neighborhood, They have submitted a docket to King County asking for a zoning change to commercial business. Kristen Wynne - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She feels the proposed Freeway Commercial zone is not compatible with existing uses. If a car dealership were to go into the area, it would mean more lights and noise, She commented that 320lh is already a disaster area on the weekends. A more intense traffic study should be done before a decision is made. In addition, in terms of aesthetics, a car dealership at the entrance to Federal Way is a step in the wrong direction, K:\Planning Commission\2004\Meeting Summary 04-21-04.doc Planning Commission Minutes Apri121,2004 Page ÈXHIBIT <c PAGE-LLOF --U- Public testimony was closed, It was m/s/c (unanimous) to recommend adoption of the Neighborhood Business comprehensive plan designation and Neighborhood Business (BN) zoning for the Davis P AA site-specific request.

INTRODUCTION In reCl:nt years the City of Federal Way has hired consultants to prepare two market studies, one for the entire City in 2000 and one for the City Center in 2002. In addition, the City hired a consultant to prepare a Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Sub-Area Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study, which is being presented to thc LUTC concurrently with thc proposed Freeway Commcrcial (IT) Zoning ( 'Iassifjcation. All of these studies found that there is adequate supply ofyacant and underdeveloped col11nH.:rcial land in the City and in the PAA. I (owner. these studies also point to the possibility of zoning for retail dnelopmL'nt not currently being captured in Federal Way as a way to increase the tax base within the (It v and the PAA. A II of the stud ies ident i fjed lllllo/l/o/Ji/(' soIl's as a retai I category that generates sign i fjcantly more tax rL'velllle than the cost of the public services the)' reCl:ive and also as a rdaill11arkd that is not currently strong in Federal Way. Additional potentiall11arkets identifil't in the March 2002 study included Fllmilllr('. Fllmi,,/¡illg" ol/{ll:'lluilmwlIl. The trend in these categories is to locate in destination-tYIK' regional retail centers, A. Proposed Freeway Commercial Zoning Designation The intent of the proposed Freeway Commercial Zoning designation is not to compete with the existing zones that already allow retail uses, but to capture the type of retail development that is presently locating outside of Federal Way. Any parcel five acres or more that is located bordering the 1-5/SR-18 interchange or 1-5/South 320lh Street interchange, and is both visible and accessible from these interchanges, would be eligible to apply for the Freeway Commercial zoning designation. This zoning designation could be applied to parcels within the P AA as wcll as in the City, ß. Concurrent Review of the Proposed Freeway Commercial Zoning Designation and the P AA Plan As part of the PAA Sub-Area Plan process, property owners within the PAA were given the opportunity to apply for a different pre-annexation and zoning designation. One appl icant applied for Community Business (BC) zoning for approximately 23 acres located east of 1-5 and north of South 320th Street. The staff recommendation for this property was Freeway Commercial. I Consequently, this new Freeway Commercial Zoning designation is being reviewed concurrently with the PAA Sub-Area Plan. II.

INTRODUCTION 1. Why a New Commercial Designation? In recent years, the City of Federal Way has hired consultants to prepare two market studies, one for the entire City in 2000 and one for the City Center in 2002, In addition, the City has hired a consultant to prepare a Potential Annexation Area (P AA) Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study, which were completed in 2003 but have not yet been adopted. A II of these studies found thcre is adequate supply of vacant and underdeveloped commercial land in the City and in the PAA. Given that developable land is not a constraining factor in attracting development, the only way that land use actions would result in an incrcmental increase in development would be if the action created a specific opportunity for development that docs not currently exist in the City or I' AA, For instance, parcels that arc highly visible from 1-5 may provide unique development opportunities, Sales tax revenues arc the single largest source of tax revenue lix most cities, In any given year, most Washington residents typically pay more in city sales tax than they do for any other city tax. This means that it is in every city's interest to capture as many retail dollars as possible. Ilowever, I¡'om a liscal perspective, some retail uses arc more attractive than others. The ("ity of Federal Way is not a m;~ior destination '()r all t)ves of retail: however, the ("ity docs dominate a large market area for many retail categories. Federal Way is particularly dominant ill the .1!.('I/('ro/lf/('1'c/lillldis(' category (department stores), but the ("ity also serves as a regional cclIll'r 1(1f' hlli/dillg If/ol(Úo/I/limJ¡mr('; ('olillg 01/(/ drillkillg ('slohlis//lI/(,lIls;.fìmd (gro..:ery stores) alld "lis( '('I/W/('OIlS r('/oi/ slores.

Lach of these catègories arc dominall'd by destination-type regional retail cenll'rs, including cities like Tukwila 1(1f' °ll/Ior('/ and.fÌimilllre, and cities lil\e Renton or I'uyallup '(JI' 01110 saIl's. These studies point to the possibility of zoning '()r retail development not currently being captured in Federal Way as a way to increase the tax base within the City and the PAA, The studies make it dear; however, that the key to generating increased tax base is to identify and capture rctaill1larkcts that arc currently underrepresented in Federal Way. EXHIBIT' PAGE 2. ,')~'a All of the studies identify automobile sales as a retail category that generates signi ficantly more tax revenue than the cost of the public services they receive, and also as a retail market that is not currently strong in Federal Way, Additional potential markets identified in the March 2002 study includedjim'¡ture, fumishings, and equipment. The trend in these categories is to locate in destination-type regional retail centers, There is potential to capitalize on these findings by creating a new Freeway Commercial zoning designation that can be applied to properties that are located adjacent to, and visible from, 1-5 or SR-l X. and are easily accessible from the fì'eeway interchanges, The intent of the new Freeway Commercial Zoning designation is not to compete with the existing zones that already allow retail uses, but to capture new dollars that are presently leaking to neighboringjurisdictions, In addition, the Freeway Commercial zone is intended to allow uses that complement and support existing rdailuses in other zones, such as outlet centers, as well as uses that attract people to Federal Way, such as entertainment fÌlcilitics (movie theaters and amusement centers), 2. Nt'w Fn't'way Coll1l1lcl-ciallksigllatioll Any parcel five acres or more that is located adjacent to and visible from 1-5 or SR-I X, and is easily accessible fì'om the freeway interchanges, is eligible to apply for the Freeway Commercial Zoning designation, This zoning designation can be applied to parcels within the P^^ as well as in the City, As part of the P^^ subarea planning process, parcels within the PAA have been gi \en ("ity colllprehensive plan and zon ing designat ions. which wi II becollle efkct ive upon annexation to the City, For the most part, the proposed designations are very similar tu the existing King County designations, In some cases, the propused designations arc intended tu make zoning of adjacent parcels more consistent with each other. ^s part of the P^^ Subarea Plan process. property owners within the PAA were given the opportunity tu apply fur a different pre-annexation and zoning designation, One applicant has applied for comlllercial zoning f(\(' approximately 23 acres located cast of 1-5 and north of South 320'11 Street.

The existing BC- zoned areas are extensive, with many older developments that have potential lor upgrading and re-development. While simply applying the BC zoning designation to additional large tracts of undeveloped land would allow for those retail uses identilied by the market studies as under represented in Federal Way, it would potentially dilute private investment that otherwise might be concentrated in the older often under developed BC-zoned areas. In addition, this could create increased competition with the CC zoned areas, These circumstances led to the decision to consider a new zoning designation that would allow a focused range of commercial uses that require large tracts of land and a freeway-oriented location. For example, automobile dealerships and home furnishings centers are uses that typically require large tracts of land, Therefore, locating automobile dealerships and home furnishings centers in the existing BC zone would likely require the assemblage of multiple smaller parcels that for the most part are not located within C<1SY access to the freeway, II. RESEARCII OF OTIIER CITIES' ConES Stair researched codes of other jurisdictions that have lì'eeway-oriented commercial zoning districts, Specifically, permitted uses and development standards were reviewed for potential applicability to Federal Way's proposed Freeway Commercial Zoning designation, Tables II and III summarize those cities reviewed in Washington and California, respectively, Characteristics that \\ere considered in selecting allowable uses and development standards fix the Freeway (\mllllercial lone were: . Freeway orientation/proximity to freeway/major highway Uses that arc freeway-oriented (need visibility and/or convenient access) Retail calL'gories in which Federal Way is less compctitin: I Jscs that nccd largc tracts nf land and havc outdnor display of product (i,c. arc nnt cnl11patihk with pcdcstrian-oricnlL'd or highcr intcnsity cnmnll'rcialusc districts) . . .

Accessory Permitted Uses Accessory uses are defined in Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-946, as a use, facility, or activity that is clearly secondary to the permitted use. (a) For vehicle and boat sales, accessory uses would include the following: . Used vehicle sales . Gasoline service stations . Service, maintenance, and body shops . Car washes . Auto supply stores . Coffee shop to serve customers and employees (b) A restaurant with a maximum gross floor area of7,500 square feet would be permitted as accessory to a retail outlet center. 3. Review Process Any new commercial development in Federal Way is subject to one of six land use processes (Process I-VI). The majority of the permitted uses in the Freeway Commercial zone are proposed to be reviewed under Process II, Site Plan Review. Except for new vehicle sales, which would be reviewed under Process III, Process II review would be used for buildings up to 4,000 square feet gross floor area with up to 20 parking spaces or a parking lot up to 20 parking spaces. If these thresholds were exceeded, Process III would be used. Process II is an administrative review with no public notification. Process III requires a public notice of application to be published in the paper, posted on the City's official notice boards, and posted on the site. In addition, if the project is located within 300 feet of a residential zone, a copy of the notice would be mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the boundary of the property. This means that any new vehicle sales or other permitted use in the Freeway Commercial zone, which is 4,000 square feet or more with 20 or more parking spaces, or a parking lot with 20 or more spaces, would be reviewed under Process III. 4. Development Standards The following issues were considered when drafting the Freeway Commercial development standards. Use zone charts have been prepared for all of the proposed permitted uses (Exhibits A-G)!: I A change was made in FWCC Section 22-966 to add Freeway Commercial to the prioritized list of zoning districts (Exhibit H). Planning Commission Staff Report Freeway Commercial Zone / File #04-100812-00-UP March 17,2004 Page 4 EXHIBIT~J PAGEJ-,)~- -S& (a) Minimum Site Size - A survey of other communities found that minimum lot sizes for a permitted use ranged in size from none to five acres. The Freeway Commercial zone is intended to apply to an area that is large enough to accommodate a mix of uses that would attract a large customer base. The minimum size of five acres was chosen because this would accommodate one auto dealership, or a number of smaller retail uses. Language has been added to Page 11-22 of Chapter Two, "Land Use," of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) to implement this goal (Exhibit I). At the time that an application for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to the Freeway Commercial zone is being considered, the parcel would have to meet both the minimum area size and locational requirements found in that section of the FWCP. (b) Maximum Lot Coverage - The range in maximum lot coverage allowed was broad in the other Washington communities reviewed, ranging from 85 percent in Olympia to no maximum requirements in Marysville and Oak Harbor. Consistent with existing Federal Way use zone charts for non-residential uses, no maximum lot coverage is established. Instead, lot coverage is determined by other site development standards, such as landscaping, requirement for on-site detention, and parking. (c) Height Limits and Setbacks When Adjacent to Residential Zones - Height limits for other jurisdictions' zoning districts that are similar to the proposed Freeway Commercial zone range from 30 to 50 feet, with most jurisdictions having a maximum of35 feet. Issaquah allows an increase to 65 feet if certain criteria are met. When crafting the height limits for the Freeway Commercial zone, we relied on those standards in the Federal Way Community Business zone, since it was the most similar to the Freeway Commercial zone. A larger setback is required if the site is adjacent to a residential zone. The following summarizes how height and setbacks will be addressed (notes 1 and 2 of the use zone charts [Exhibits A-E): Maximum height of 35 feet unless the structure is located less than 100 feet from an adjacent residential zone, then that portion of the structure shall not exceed 30 feet above average building elevation, and the structure shall be set back a minimum of20 feet from the property line of the residential zone. In the case of new vehicle sales, the setback would be 50 feet versus 20 feet due to the potential intensity of the uses conducted. The height of that portion of a structure located 100 feet or more from a residential zone may exceed 35 feet above average building elevation to a maximum of 55 feet, if all of the following criteria are met: (i) The additional height is necessary to accommodate the particular use conducted in the building; and (ii) That portion of the structure is set back an additional one-foot for each one- foot the structure exceeds 35 feet above average building elevation; and (iii) An increase in height above 35 feet will not block views designated by the comprehensive plan; and Planning Commission Staff Report Freeway Commercial Zone / File #04-1O0812-00-UP March 17,2004 Page 5 EXHIBIT I PAGE-'-OF 5'2. (iv) The increased height is consistent with goals and policies for the area of the subject property as established by the comprehensive plan. (d) Noise, Light, and Glare - Noise, light, and glare can be associated with any non-residential use. The FWCC includes regulations that address all of these impacts. (i) Noise - Noise is addressed in Chapter 10, Article II. This section states that it is unlawful for any person to cause, or for any person in possession of property to allow to originate from the property, sound that is a public disturbance noise. A list of those noises considered public disturbances are attached as Exhibit J. This language is adequate to address noise associated with the majority of the allowable uses in the Freeway Commercial zone; however, public address speakers are frequently used in car dealerships to communicate with employees moving throughout large outdoor areas. In order to address this impact, note 10 was added in the use zone chart for new vehicle sales. This note states that public address speakers (PA systems) shall not be audible from an adjacent residential zone (Exhibit A). (ii) Light and Glare - This is addressed in FWCC Sections 22-950 and 22-954. 22-950 Glare regulation. Any artificial surface which produces glare which annoys; injures; endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of persons; or in any way renders persons insecure in life or in the use of property is a violation of this chapter. 22-954 Lighting regulation. (a) Efficient light sources. The applicant shall utilize energy efficient-light sources. (b) State code. The applicant shall comply with the state energy code with respect to the selection and regulation of light sources. ( c) Glare from subject property prohibited. The applicant shall select, place, and direct light sources both directable and nondirectable so that glare produced by any light source, to the maximum extent possible, does not extend to adjacent properties or to the right-of-way. Automobile sales lots are brightly lit to showcase the merchandise. However, existing code language was determined to be adequate to address these impacts, so no additional language was added. (e) Signage - All of the Washington jurisdictions surveyed had provisions for both freestanding and wall mounted signs. However, the regulations that are proposed to be adopted for the signs allowed in the Freeway Commercial zone (Exhibit K) were patterned after the City of Bellingham, because they seemed most appropriate for Federal Way. For the Freeway Commercial zone, FWCC Chapter 22, Article XVIII, "Signs," will be amended to provide a Highway Profile Sign Category A. This will allow one free-standing pylon or pole sign that is oriented towards the freeway, located near the property line closest to the freeway (not the off-ramps), and visible from the freeway. The allowable height shall not exceed 25 feet above the elevation of the nearest driving lane of the Planning Commission Staff Report Freeway Commercial Zone I File #04-100812-00-UP March 17,2004 Page 6 EXHIBIT I PAGE_I:I. .~c 51- freeway at a point nearest to the proposed location of the sign. I f the subject property has an elevation that is higher than the nearest driving lane of the freeway, then the sign shall be no taller than 20 feet above the average finished ground elevation measured at the midpoint of the sign base. If the elevation of the site is equal to or lower than the elevation of the freeway at a point nearest to the proposed location of the sign, the allowable sign area shall be 600 feet, with no one sign face exceeding 300 feet. If the subject property has an elevation that is higher than the nearest driving lane of the freeway, then the sign area shall not exceed 400 square feet, for the total sign faces with no one sign face exceeding 200 square feet. The Highway Profile Sign would be in addition to the already allotted freestanding signs. (f) Hazardous Waste, Toxic or Noxious Gasses, Water Contamination -Automobile service, body shop, and maintenance facilities can generate odors or hazardous wastes, which can end up in surface or groundwater. Consequently, the following notes have been added to the use zone chart for new vehicle sales (Exhibit A, Notes 5, 7, 8 and 9): (i) Auto and boat body repair and/or painting may be permitted under this section only if: a, Building layout and design mitigates impact of dust, fumes, noise, glare, odor, or any other discharge on neighboring uses and natural systems; protects neighboring uses and natural systems from accidental spillage, leakage, or discharge of hazardous material and pollutants; b. All storage, operations, service, painting, and repair are conducted within enclosed buildings. (ii) Hazardous waste treatment and storage facìlities must comply with state citing criteria adopted in accordance with Chapter 70. I 05 RCW. (iii) No use or activity shall be conducted that involves the release of toxic or noxious gases, fumes, or odors. (iv) No use or activity shall be conducted that results in the contamination of stormwater, surface water, or groundwater pursuant to Chapter 21, Article IV. (g) Landscape Screening - Requirements for landscaping screening should ensure that commercial uses are adequately screened from adjacent residential areas. In addition, landscaping along street frontages should reflect the desire of the business owner to display merchandise for sale. In order to accomplish these objectives, the following landscape standards are recommended (Exhibit L): . Type III landscaping 10 feet in width shall be provided along the perimeter of parking areas abutting public rights-of-way, Type I landscaping 20 feet in width shall be provided along the perimeter of property abutting a residential zone. Type III landscaping five feet in width shall be provided along all perimeter lot lines, except as noted above. . . Planning Commission Staff Report Freeway Commercial Zone / File #04-100812-00-UP March 17,2004 Page 7 EXHIBIT I PAGE~8 ,)CS_a. New vehicle sales include a display area for cars, Language has been added to the use zone chart for new vehicle sales (Exhibit A) to clarify that areas where vehicles are displayed are not subject to the parking lot landscaping requirements of FWCC Section 22-1567 (note 13). A note has also been added to state that areas where vehicles are displayed are not subject to the provisions of FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIII, Section 22-1113, "Outdoor Activities and Storage," which also require screening and landscaping of outdoor storage (note 14). 5. Community Design Guidelines Amendments to the "Community Design Guidelines," FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIX, Section 22-1638, would add the Freeway Commercial District to that section, which governs Professional Office (PO), Neighborhood Business (BN), and Community Business (Be) (Exhibit M). IV. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS The following paragraphs present recommended Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) amendments necessary to implement a new commercial land use and zoning designation for Freeway Commercial development. 1. The Concept Plan Diagram On page 11-3, Figure 11-2, Concept Plan Diagram, should be revised to identify the Freeway Commercial concept and general location (this will be done prior to adoption). 2. Section 2.2, Relationship to Other Land Use Chapters On Page 11-4, a bullet should be added that states the following, "Freeway commercial development focusing on attracting and capturing those retail dollars presently being lost to other communities and complementing existing retail uses in the community" (Exhibit I). 3. Section 2.8, Land Use Designations - Commercial Designations Following the description of the Community Business Designation, add the following section for the proposed Freeway Commercial designation (Exhibit I): Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that are adjacent to Interstate 5 and SR 18 interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land usespermitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales, home furnishings centers and related retail and service uses that require large tracts of land, convenient freeway access and visibility.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION EXHIBIT I PAGE-'lLOF~ , Staff recommends that a new Freeway Commercial zone be adopted with the amendments as proposed in the enclosed Exhibits A-H and J-M. VI. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION FWCC Chapter 22 "Zoning," Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes a process and criteria for zoning code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: 1. To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments. 2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendment meets the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528. 3. To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed zoning code text amendment. VII. DECISIONAL CRITERIA FWCC Section 22-528 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section analyzes the compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments with the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528. The City may amend the text of the FWCC only if it finds that: 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan. The proposed FWCC text amendment is consistent with the following FWCP goals and policies: LUPIO Support a diverse community comprised of neighborhoods that provide a range of housing options; a vibrant City Center; well designed and functioning commercial areas and distinctive neighborhood retail areas. LUP 15 Protect residential areas from impacts of adjacent non-residential uses. EDGI The City will emphasize redevelopment that transforms the City from a suburban bedroom community to a full-service community with an urban core. EDG5 The City will encourage and support the development of recreational and cultural facilities and/or events that will bring additional visitors to Federal Way and/or increase visitor spending. EDP7 The City will develop zoning, permitting and potential financial incentives that encourage prioritized development consistent with comprehensive and subarea plans and orderly, phased growth. Planning Commission Staff Report Freeway Commercial Zone I File #04-1 00812-O0-UP March 17,2004 Page 10 EXHIBIT-1 P AGE -I-L ':) F~ 2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare because it has the potential to attract new sales tax revenues to the City of Federal Way. New tax revenues would offset the cost of providing City services. The intent of the Freeway Commercial zone is to capture new dollars that are presently leaking to neighboring jurisdictions. In addition, the Freeway Commercial zone is intended to allow uses, such as outlet centers, that complement and support existing retail uses in other zones, and entertainment facilities such as movie theaters and amusement centers, which would attract people to Federal Way. Increased setbacks, height limitations, and additional landscape screening are proposed for development within the Freeway Commercial zone that is located adjacent to residential areas. 3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest rl the residents of the City. The proposed text amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City because it provides for a commercial designation that will pennit retail uses that are currently under represented in the City of Federal Way. These uses include vehicle sales, outlet centers, hotels, and home furnishing retail centers. By providing an opportunity for specialized retail centers to locate in areas with convenient freeway access and visibility, the City can attract more of these uses and resultant sales tax dollars. Currently, residents have to travel outside of Federal Way to find large concentrations of businesses offering these goods for sale. Providing a new zoning category that could be applied to land with convenient freeway access and visibility, and which allows uses currently under represented in the community, would keep more retail dollars at home and could attract more visitors to Federal Way and visitor spending within the community. VIII. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Consistent with the provisions of FWCC Section 22-539, the Planning Commission may take the following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments: I. Recommend to City Council adoption of the FWCC text amendments as proposed; 2. Modify the proposed FWCC text amendments and recommend to City Council adoption of the FWCC text amendments as modified; 3. Recommend to City Council that the proposed FWCC text amendments not be adopted; or 4. Forward the proposed FWCC text amendments to City Council without a recommendation. Ix.

If an existing site or tower is located within a one mile radius of a proposed PWSF location, the applicant shall document why collocation on the existing site or tower is not being proposed, regardless of whether the existing site or tower is located within the jurisdiction of the city. (3) Publicly used structures. If the city consents to such location, a PWSF may be located on existing public facilities within all zoning districts, such as water towers, utility structures, fire stations, bridges, and other public buildings, provided the public facilities are not located within public rights-of-way. (4) Appropriate business, commercial, and city center zoned sites. A PWSF may be located on private buildings or structures within appropriate business, commercial, and city center zoning districts. The preferred order of zoning districts for this category of sites is as follows: BP - Business Park FC - Freeway Commercial CP-l - Corporate Park OP through OP-4 - Office Park CC-C - City Center Core CC-F - City Center Frame BC - Community Business . (5) Appropriate public rights-of-way. For the purposes of this section, appropriate public rights-of-way shall be defined as including those public rights-of-way with functional street classifications of principal arterial, minor arterial, and principal collector. A PWSF may be located on existing structures in appropriate public rights-of-way. Structures proposed for location of PWSFs shall be separated by at least 330 linear feet. Within any residential zone, neighborhood business (BN) zone, or professional office (PO) zone, there shall be no more than one PWSF located on an existing structure. Location of a PWSF on an existing structure in an appropriate public right-of-way shall require a right-of-way permit in addition to the required use process approval. The preferred order of functional street classifications for this category of sites is as follows: Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Principal Collector If the PWSF is proposed to be located in an appropriate public right-of-way and the surrounding uses or zoning are not the same, that portion of the right-of-way with the most intensive use and/or zoning shall be the preferred location. If the PWSF is proposed to be located in an appropriate public right-of-way and surrounding uses or zoning are the same, the preferred location shall be that portion of the right-of-way with the least adverse visual impacts.

Below is a brief discussion of how the Land Use chapter relates to the other chapters of the FWCP. Economic Development Federal Way's economy is disproportionately divided. Based on PSRC's 2000 Covered Estimates by jurisdiction>. retail and service industries compose more than 70 percent of Federal Way's employment base. Covered estimates are jobs that are covered by unemployment insurance. Dependence on retail trade stems primarily from the City's evolution into a regional shopping destination for South King County and northeast Pierce County. Increased regional competition from other retail areas, such as Tukwila and the Auburn SuperMall, may impact the City's ability to capture future retail dollars. To improve Federal Way's economic outlook, the economic development strategy is to promote a more diverse economy. A diversified economy should achieve a better balance between jobs and housing and supports the City's quality of life. In conjunction with the Economic Development chapter, this Land Use chapter promotes the following: . A City Center composed of mid-rise office buildings, mixed-use retail, and housing. . Community Business and Business Park development in the South 348th Street area. . Continued development of West Campus. . Continued development of East Campus (Weyerhaeuser Corporate and Office Park properties). . Redevelopment and development of the SR-99 coITidor into an area of quality commercial and mixed use development. . Continued use of design standards for non-singleJamily areas. . Freeway commercial development focusing on attracting and capturing those retail dollars presently being lost to other communities and complementing existing retail uses in the community. 2003 Comp Plan Update EXHIBIT__- 1: PÄGE ~--k 11-4 FWCP - Chapter Two, land Use EXHIBiT I PAGE....uOF-D--- r The land use map designations support development necessary to achieve the above (see' the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map II-I), A complete discussion of economic development is set forth in the Economic Development chapter. Capital Facilities Capital facilities provided by the City include: transportation and streets, parks and open space, and surface water management. Infrastructure and Urban Services The amount and availability of urban services and infrastructure influences the location and pace of future growth. The City is responsible for the construction and maintenance of parks and recreation facilities, streets and transportation improvements, and surface water facilities. Providing for future growth while maintaining existing improvements depends upon the community's willingness to pay for the construction and financing of new facilities and the maintenance of existing facilities, As outlined in the Capital Facilities Plan, new infrastructure and services may be financed by voter-approved bonds, impact fees, grants, designated capital taxes (real estate excise tax, fuel tax, utility tax), and money from the City's general fund. To capitalize on the City's available resources for urban services and infrastructure, this Land Use chapter recognizes that concentrating growth is far more cost effective than allowing continued urban sprawl. Concentrating growth also supports the enhancement of future transit improvements, Water Availability Based on reports from the Lakehaven Utility District, the estimated available yield from the underlying aquifers is 10.1 million gallons per day (MGD, 10-year averagè based on average annual rainfall). The District controls which well to use, thus which aquifers are being pumped from, based on a number of considerations including water levels and rainfall. In order to reduce detrimental impacts to its groundwater supplies in the recent past, the District has also augmented its groundwater supplies with wholesale water purchased from the City of Tacoma through water system interties, In addition, the District has entered into a long-tenn agreement with the City of Tacoma and other South King County utilities to participate in the construction of Tacoma's Second Supply Project (a second water diversion from the Green River), which will provide additional water supplies to the region, As a result, the water levels in the aquifers have remained stable, and the District's water supply capacity will increase to 14,7 MGD on an annual average basis when Tacoma's Second Supply Project is completed in 2004, Concentrating growth, along with conservation measures, should help to conserve water. Water Quality Maintaining a clean source of water is vital to the health and livability of the City, Preserving water quality ensures a clean source of drinking water; and, continued health of the City's streams and lakes. Maintaining water quality is also important for maintaining 2003 Camp Plan Update EXH ill' ; m .! P AGE .p --2. \ !~~._-"- 11-5 FWCP-ChapterTwo, Land Use EXHIBIT--_., , PAGE--'-ftOFþ. LUP36 Develop business parks that fit into their surroundings by grouping similar industries in order to reduce or eliminate land use conflicts, allow sharing of public facilities and services, and improve traffic flow and safety. LUP37 Limit retail uses to those that serve the needs of people employed in the area. Commercial City Center Core The intent of establishing the City Center Core is to create a higher density, mixed-use designation where office, retail, government uses, and residential uses are concentrated. Other uses such as cultural/civic facilities, community services, and housing will be highly encouraged, City Center Frame The City Center Frame designation will have a look and feel similar to the Core and will provide a zone of less dense, mixed-use development physically surrounding a portion of the City Center Core. Together, they are meant to complement each other to create a "downtown" area. A more detailed description, along with goals and policies regarding the City Center Core and Frame, can be found in the City Center chapter. Community Business The Community Business designation encompasses two major retail areas of the City. It covers the "strip" retail areas along SR-99 and the large "bulk" retail area found near the South 348th Street area, approximately between SR-99 and 1-5. Community Business allows a large range of uses and is the City's largest retail designation in terms of area, The Community Business designation generally runs along both sides of SR-99 from South 272nd to South 348th. A wide range of development types, appearance, ages, function, and scale can be found along SR-99. Older, single'-story developments provide excellent opportunities for redevelopment. Due in part to convenient access and available land, the South 348th Street area has become a preferred location for large bulk retailers such as Eagle Hardware, Home Depot, and Costco. Due to the size of these facilities, the challenge will be to develop these uses into well functioning, aesthetically pleasing retail environments. To create retail areas that are aesthetically and functionally attractive, revised development standards, applied through Community Business zoning and Community Design . Guidelines, address design quality, mixed-use, and the integration of auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation, Site design, modulation, and setback requirements are also addressed. Through regulations in the Community Business land use chart, the size and scale of hotels, motels, and office uses have been limited in scale so as not to compete with the City Center. 2003 Comp Plan Update E.Xi:ilBi T PA.GE __-3 1: ,:._-, 11-21 FWCP-ChapterTwo, Land Use Goal LUG6 Policies LUP38 LUP39 EXHIBIT- I':' P AGE --1.1'0 F-' I. Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, mixed-use areas that appeal to pedestrians and motorists and enhance the community's image. Encourage transformation of Pacific Highway (SR-99) Community Business corridor into a quality mixed-use retail area. Retail development along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center, should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Integration of public amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged. Encourage auto-oriented large bulk retailers to locate in the South 34Sth Street Community Business area. Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that are adjacent to Interstate 5 and SR 18 interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses permitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales. home furnishings centers. and related retail and service uses that require large tracts of land. convenient freeway access and visibility. Goal LUG7 Policies LUP40 LUP41 LUP42 Encourage the development of limited areas with high levels of freeway access and visibility as suitable locations for freeway-oriented businesses to locate within the city in a cohesive development pattern that also meets the community's product and service needs. Encourage freeway oriented uses to locate in Freeway Commercial-designated areas. Encourage quality regional destination retail development through the utilization of appropriate design guidelines and development standards.

Neighborhood Business There are a dozen various sized nodes of Neighborhood Business located throughout the City. These nodes are areas that have historically provided retail and/or services to adjacent residential areas. The FWCP recognizes the importance of finnly fixed boundaries to prevent commercial intrusion into adjacent neighborhoods. Neighborhood Business areas are intended to provide convenient goods (e.g., groceries and hardware) and services (e.g., dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale close to adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential and commercial uses provide a convenient living environment within these nodes. In the future, attention should be given to design features that enhance the appearance or function of these areas. Improvements may include sidewalks, open space and street trees, and parking either on street or oriented away from the street edge. The function of neighborhood business areas can also be enhanced by safe pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections to surrounding neighborhoods. The need to address expansion or intensification may occur in the future depending on population growth. Future neighborhood business locations should be carefully chosen and sized to meet the needs of adjacent residential areas.

This can be a powerful incentive for private development in the City Center. Subarea Plans Over the years, citizens from various areas of the City have come forth to testify before the Planning Commission and City Council regarding their neighborhood or business area. Development of subarea plans can lead to area specific visions and policies. This type of specific planning, developed with citizen input and direction, can lead to improved confidence and ownership in the community. Areas where subarea planning should be considered include: SR-99 Corridor, South 348th Street area, and Twin Lakes neighborhood. Incentives Develop an incentives program, for both residential and commercial development.

PUBLIC HEARING - New Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification Ms. Shull delivered the staff presentation. This new zoning classification is being considered to: provide unique development opportunities along the 1-5 and SR 18 corridors; capture retail markets not currently strongly represented in Federal Way; and capture significant tax revenue. An owner of property in the P AA requested Commercial Business (BC) zoning, but staff felt it was inappropriate. Reasons for this are: Federal Way already has a lot of land designated commercial, adding to these could work against the City's plans for the City Center, and the proposed Freeway Commercial zone has fewer uses, New signage designation is proposed for this new zone. If the Freeway Commercial zone were adopted, goals and policies would have to be added to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Shull noted that the height for pole signs was corrected and changed from 20 to 15 feet. Commissioners expressed concern that this new zone would draw businesses away from Pacific Highway South. Ms. Shull commented that the trend seems to be to have enough land available so a number of di fferent auto dealerships can congregate in an "auto-mall" setting. The Commissioners asked if that is really the image we want to have at the entrance to our City, The Commissioners asked if we are lacking in other retail areas, why not pursue them, as opposed to a new zone. The Commissioners asked if the staff has a map with all the parcels in the City that would be eligible for this new zone. The Commissioners want to be sure that this proposed zone would not allow "big-box" retail. The Commissioners would like to know if signs are allocated by parcel or use. P AA Site-Specific Requests Ms. Grueter went over the four site-specific requests. Commissioner Osaki asked that the record reflect that he works for the City of Auburn, Public Testimony was opened. Thor Hoyle - He represents the Davis site-specific request. He also submitted written comments, He feels this request is different from the other site-specific requests because there has been a business on this parcel since 1946. It has been an office use since 1979, The current King County zoning is almost the same as Federal Way's Neighborhood Business (BN) zone, It is his understanding that part of the reason for zoning this residential is the belief that the property would not be able to meet Federal Way BN requirements, He feels the property can meet these requirements. He stated there is no way the current building could be turned into a home (it is only 900 square feet). There is no sewer and the lot is built-out. It is a comer lot, on a road that is not very busy. It has minimal signage, no parking problems, no egress or ingress issues, and no retrofit problems. It will stay as it is for the foreseeable future. Louise Davis - She purchased the property in 1998 and soon ran into legal problems with King County because it was not zoned for a business. It took a lot of time and effort, but the parcel was rezoned and she is now legal. It upsets her that she would again be illegal if the staff recommendation is adopted. Chuck Gibson - He spoke in regards to the Northlake request and represents the owners. Of 56 owners, 44 signed a petition in favor of RS 9.6, four did not, and eight were not available.

He knows the City wants to annex them and he doesn't want the City to take her property rights by downzoning D&D Accounting. They are good for the community, She already went through the steps to be legal and now the City wants to change it back. It would close the business, ruin their retirement, and put employees out of work, Page 3 Christy Field - She asked if it was true that King County wants to have them annex to Federal Way and they have no choice? She has lived here 40 years and does not want to be part of the City, The Commissioners wanted to make it clear that annexation would happen only if some citizens in the area ask the City to be annexed, BJ McMasters - He commented that he has 900 feet on freeway (on Military) and is happy with it. He wants to be in the County, not the City, He has a surface water problem that no one (county or state) has helped him with, Neil GoldÙzgay - He is not impressed with the proposed Freeway Commercial zone, He is open to the idea of annexation, He feels King County has done a good job. He would love to see the City improve Military Road like Pacific Highway South and make it a safer road, He also stated that the intersection of 2881h and Military needs work in regards to trash, empty buildings, and vandalism. Lee Rabie - He feels the City is taking the Davis property and his property, This will cost him ~2 million dollars, He feels the City staff is mean-spirited and deceitful. King County staff is fairer and has more experts, He stated that the City's permitting process is broken and gave the example of a church, He stated that he would fight if the City attempts to take his property, Norm lngersoll- He stated that the map of the Rabie property is inaccurate because it shows a road that does not exist. Land is set aside for the road, but cuITently it is trees and open space. He is not favor of the proposed Freeway Commercial zone or annexation, We should not compete with Auburn, but work with them. Whatever happens, the 320th bridge over 1-5 needs to be fixed, It is too congested, In addition, Military Road needs to be made safer. He feels the mailings on this issue were sporadic and few people knew of this meeting, He knows the City needs more money, but they should not seek more retail, but other kinds of businesses. Rick Reese - He thanked the Commission for listening to the comments, He said that cars make no sense for a bedroom community, He commented that the City should not think in the short- term, He feels the City doesn't follow the mandate of the voters and cited Celebration Park as an example. The City needs to look at the carrying capacity of essential services, Sidewalks, water, etc, need to be in place before the City continues to develop, Michael Tischler - He spoke in regards to the Jackson request. He lives near the proposal. The topography that suITounds those lots is very different from the northeastern side, The proposed new Freeway Commercial zone would be better facing 320t", but not near the single-family lots on the northeast.

He feels the proposed Freeway Commercial zone is a separate issue and asked why are we creating a special classification for one request (Jackson), but not another (Davis)? He feels the P AA study should deal with the financial aspects but not the zoning, until such time an area actually annexes to Federal Way, He feels that this way we are imposing zoning on people who cannot vote for Federal Way Council Members, He asked if this is implemented, what would be the impact on people who want to change their zoning before their area annexes to Federal Way (if it ever does)? Ann Blackwell- She lives near the Davis property, She commented that the traffic is heavy on Military Road, There are times she feels she risks her life when pulling out of her driveway, Jackie Moore - She spoke to the impact on the Northlake area, She said it would cost more money to annex and it would come out of our pocket book (property owners). There was no further public testimony. Since the public hearings will be continued, further public testimony will be allowed. Chairman Caulfield read three letters into the record. The Commissioners asked about the way in which policies are stated. Some say, "City shall do this" and others say, "County shall do this," what does this mean? The Commissioners asked who is and is not the governing body of the P AA? They asked that a representative from the County be invited to the next public hearing, They would like to know how many multi-family parcels are developed and undeveloped, They requested that the Freeway Commercial proposal be "tightened"; taking into account the issues raised at this meeting, They would like to know what water body feeds the wetland on the Jackson property and is there any opportunity for off-site mitigation?

BACKGROUND The proposed code amendment to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, to add a new Freeway Commercial Zone was presented to the Planning Commission at their March 17,2004, public hearing. During this public hearing, some members of the Commission expressed concern about creating a new commercial zone. Some general concerns included a concern that businesses may relocate to this zone from commercial areas along Highway 99; therefore, having a negative affect on the Highway 99 corridor. Another concern was that locating automobile dealerships at the entrances to our community might not be the image that we want to present. One Commissioner was concerned about the effect of commercial development on existing residential neighborhoods. Yet another Commissioner wanted the code to be "tighter" in terms of protecting neighborhoods while benefiting the City. A list of more specific questions and comments from the Planning Commission followed by staff responses is contained within Section III of this staff report. Section II of this report discusses a change that staff would like to propose in the locational criteria for allowing parcels to be designated Freeway Commercial. II. PROPOSED STAFF CHANGES After the March 17,2004 Planning Commission public hearing, staffreviewed the proposed locational criteria in Chapter 2, "Land Use," of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (Exhibit A) and would like to propose the following change shown as stribLJ€Hit and underlined. Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that are adjacent to the Interstate 5 and SR 1 & interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typicallv large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses permitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales, home furnishings centers, and related retail and service uses that require large tracts of land, convenient freeway access, and visibility, A -... .-. fit P.Gt--~ ~ . ----._-- , ,- ~:--'.o r.- ,/. " f- ¡ " , ' ,..":/\., :" The reason for this proposed change is that SR 18 extends to Pacific Highway where it becomes S, 348 Street. If properties in this area were to apply for and be granted a Freeway Commercial zone, there is a potential for 25-foot tall signs to be constructed at grade adjacent to S. 348th Street. The maximum height of free stranding signs is presently 12 feet. III. FOLLOW-Ur TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION Questions from and comments by the Planning Commission are shown followed by the staff response: I. Planning Commission Comment: Locating automobile dealerships at the entrances to our community might not be the image that we want to present. Staff Re5ponse: The Planning Commission and Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) will issue a recommendation, with the City Council making the final decision, 2. Planning Commission Comment: The Market Studies identified some retail dollars that were "leaking" to other communities. Why don't we pursue these uses? Staff Response: The Citywide Market Study conducted in 2000, the City Center Market Study conducted in 2002, and the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study completed in 2003 all identify that Federal Way is less competitive in the retail categories of auto sales, furniture, furnishings, and equipment, and to a lesser extent, apparel and accessories, Except for apparel and accessories, the proposed permitted uses in the new Freeway Commercial zone include all of the identified retail uses, 3. Planning Commission Concern: There was a concern that providing a new commercial zoning district with opportunity for designating additional areas commercial, would detract from redevelopment along the Pacific Highway Corridor. Staff Re.\ponse: The proposed uscs to be permitted in a new Freeway Commercial zone was limited to the following due to the need to lessen competition between this new zone and existing commercial districts, Please refer to Table I (Exhibit C) for a comparison of the allowable uses between existing commercial zones and the proposed new Freeway Commercial zone. Proposed permitted uses in the Freeway Commercial Zone I. Retail selling new vehicles, boats, recreational vehicles, and motorcycles 2. Retail selling household goods and furnishings (floor coverings, draperies, glass, and chinaware) 3. Retail selling household appliances 4. Retail selling home electronics 5. Retail outlet centers 6. Retail providing entertainment, recreational, or cultural services and activities (amusement parks, movie theaters) 7. Golf driving range 8.

Personal wireless service facilities 4, Planning Commission Question: Do we have a map that shows areas that might qualify for the new Freeway Commercial zoning designation? Staff Response: The new Freeway Commercial zoning designation is intended to apply to property at least five acres in size that is located adjacent to, and visible from, 1-5 and is easily accessible from the freeway interchanges. This zoning designation can be applied to parcels within the P AA as well as in the City. Staff has not prepared a map showing all potential parcels that may be eligible for this zone because that is not the scope of the study. The intent of the Freeway Commercial zoning designation is to provide a new classification, which could be applied for as part of the annual comprehensive plan amendment process, by owners of properties meeting the locational criteria. As part of the P AA Subarea Plan process, property owners within the P AA were given the opportunity to apply for a different pre-annexation and zoning designation. One applicant, Mr. Jackson, has applied for commercial (Community Business) zoning for approximately 23 acres located east of 1-5 and north of South 320th Street. The Planning Commission, as part of the P AA adoption process, is presently considering this request. A traffic study (January 2004 City of Federal Way Planning Technical Report, Rezone Evaluation of Portion of Potential Annexation Area "Camelot" by the Transpo Group) was prepared for the Jackson request. This study showed that increased traffic associated with development of the Jackson site as Freeway Commercial would still meet the City's ado~ted level of~~ce standards. 5. Planning Commission Question: Will "big box" retail be allowed in the new Freeway Commercial zone? Staff Response: "Big box" retail and bulk retail sales will not be allowed in the Freeway Commercial zone. Only the Community Business zone allows this type of use. Staff has added language shown as underline in the chart for "Retail" in order to exclude "big box" retail (See Exhibit B). 6. Planning Commission Question: How will the Freeway Commercial signs be allotted? Will it be by parcel or use? Staff Response: The proposed code amendment to the sign code allows one Freeway Commercial sign per subject property. This is in addition to signage that is already allowed in the code. Per FWCC Chapter 22, Article I, subject property means the entire lot or parcel, or series of lots or parcels, on which a development, activity, or use is or will locate, or on which any activity or condition regulated by or subject to this chapter is or will occur or take place. Based on this definition, subject property may apply to a single use on a single lot, or to one use on a series of Planning Commission Staff Report Addition of Freeway Commercial Zone / File #04-1 00812-00-UP April 7, 2004 Page 3 lots, If the Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification and related admendments to FWCC Chapter 22, ArticleXVIII, Signs, are adopted as proposed, signage would be allowed as follows: EXHIBIT_- '- PAGE-'f '-".-' 10 ~ :;-. . (a) Building-Mounted Signs - As with all other non-residential zoning districts, the sign area of building-mounted signs in the Freeway Commercial zone would depend on the area of the exposed building face to which it is attached, and the number of building- mounted signs would depend on the surface area of the largest single exposed building face based on a certain formula. (b) Freestanding Signs - The Freeway Commercial zone will be permitted signs pursuant to the Medium Profile category and Highway Profile Category A signs. (c) A maximum amount offour freestanding signs per subject property would be allowed, with a maximum of three freestanding signs per street frontage (two Medium Profile Category and one Highway Profile Category A along the street frontage), including I- S. (d) Signs must have a minimum separation of200 feet. (e) Three of the four signs could have a maximum height of 12 feet (Medium Profile). The fourth sign (Freeway Commercial sign) could be a maximum of 15 feet if the subject property is ab9ye the freeway elevation, and 25 feet above the elevation of the freeway if the subject property is lower in elevation than the freeway. (f) For single-tenant parcels or separate parcels or pads for single tenant buildings, maximum sign area for three of the four maximum allowable signs is 80 square feet (maximum of 40 square feet per face). For multi-tenant parcels, the maximum sign area for three of the four maximum allowable signs is 128 square feet (maximum of 64 square feet per face). The Freeway Commercial sign could have a maximum sign area of 600 square feet (maximum of 300 square feet per face) if the elevation of the site is below the elevation of the freeway, and 400 square feet (maximum of200 square feet per face) if the elevation of the site is above the elevation of the freeway. 7, Planning Commission Question: The Planning Commission was concerned about what effect the commercial development of areas that were traditionally residential might have on existing residential neighborhoods. Related to this, the Planning Commission requested that staff "tighten" the standards of the Freeway Commercial zone, Staff Response: The existing proposal already incorporates the following standards if a Freeway Commercial zoned-property is located adjacent to residential zone: (a) Setbacks - There is a proposed setback of20 feet for all structures, if abutting a residential zone, with a 50-foot setback for New Vehicles sales, (b) Landscape Screening - . Type III landscaping 10 feet in width shall be provided along the perimeter of parking areas abutting public rights-of-way, Type I landscaping 20 feet in width (emphasis added) shall be provided along the perimeter of property abutting a residential zone, I . I Per FWCC Chapter 22, Section 22-1565, Type I landscaping is a solid screen, which is intended to provide a solid sight barrier to totally separate incompatible uses. This landscaping is typically found between residential and incompatible nonresidential land use zones. Planning Commission Staff Report Addition of Freeway Commercial Zone / File #04-1 008 I 2-00-UP April 7, 2004 Page 4 EXHIBIT- 3, PAGE~,)~ -1Þ . . Type III landscaping five feet in width shall be provided along all perimeter lot "lines, except as noted above, In response to the Planning Commission's concerns, staff recommends that the following language be added to the proposed use zone charts in the Freeway Commercial zone: (a) New Vehicles, Retail, and Entertainment Uses - "The hours of operation may be limited to reduce impacts on nearby residential uses"? (b) The following language, which is presently proposed for the New Vehicles Use Zone Chart is recommended to be further changed as follows3: Public address speakers (PA systems) shall Rot be audible from an adjacent residential zone. The site must be designed so that noise associated with public address systems~ vehicle repair or maintenance~ and truck parking, loading or maneuvering; will not be audible off the subject property, based on a certificate to this effect signed by an acoustical engineer and filed with the development permit application.2 IV.

Retail development along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center, should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Integration of public amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged. Encourage auto-oriented large bulk retailers to locate in the South 348th Street Community Business area. Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that are adjacent to ~ Interstate 5 and SR 18 interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses pennitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales. home furnishings centers. and related retail and service uses that require large tracts of land. convenient freeway access and visibility. Goal LUG? Policies LUP40 LUP41 LUP42 Encourage the development of limited areas with high levels of freeway access and visibility as suitable locations for freeway-oriented businesses to locate within the city in a cohesive development pattern that also meets the community's product and service needs. Encourage freeway oriented uses to locate in Freeway Commercial-designated areas- Encourage quality regional destination retail development through the utilization of appropriate design guidelines and development standards. The development of freeway commercial areas should respond to the needs of consumers by providing for ease of access and circulation and convenient grouping of complementary uses.

He commented that the last report said one of the goals of the change is to make adjacent parcels more alike. He feels his presentation shows the change will actually make adjacent parcels more different. Del Carlino - He lives on Lake Doloffand asked if the City was planning to annex the area. The Commission explained that this process only adopts future comprehensive plan zoning designations for the area that would take effect only if citizens in the area request that they be annexed to the City, Roy Ruffino - He spoke on the Jackson request. He stated it seems to be an adversarial issue and most neighbors are against it. He commented that off-site mitigation would not do any good in this area. He requested the City consider future relations with neighbors in the area when making their decision, Karen Bush - She stated her opposition to the Jackson request. James Awarado - He stated his opposition to the Jackson request. He commented it would decrease the quality of life in the area, There would be more traffic and more lights at night. Steve McNey - He is with All American Homes and represents the Jackson request. He commented that the Freeway Commercial zone is a compromise for them. They did not request this zoning from the City; rather they want Community Business (Be) so they can build a grocery store, A grocery store would decrease the traffic traveling west on 320th, A grocery store in this area would also capture traffic going to Auburn. They want to do a development that would be good for the neighborhood and the City, He stated they have been negotiating with King County and the County supports the BC zoning. He stated they have spoken with car dealerships and the dealerships say the sign code would be a deterrent. They have heard from grocery chains wanting to locate in the area. He commented that this side of 32nd would not make good residential property. One reason is because of the freeway noise. Gary Anderson - He stated his opposition to the Jackson request. He said that due to Mr. McNey's comments, most of what he had to say has gone out the window. He commented that he wants to keep auto dealerships out of the area. He lives only 60 feet away from the Jackson property, Planning philosophy denotes a gradual change from one use to another. This would be a sharp change. It would reduce the value of the homes in the area. He gave the Commission a petition signed by 52 people opposed to the zoning change, It would impact more than just his neighborhood, It would make traffic on 320th much worse, He feels it is not right that representatives that people in the neighborhood cannot vote for are making this decision, Louise Davis - She is the applicant for the Davis request, She asked if there are any other properties comparable to hers (staff replied the Sutherland Grocery and Gas property is similar, but it is abandoned). She challenged the Commission to consider that property; it hasn't operated KIptanning Commissionl2004IMeeting Summary 04-07-04.doc/L<1S' ponIed 4/28/2004 906 AM Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 April 7, 2004 EXH I B rT~ in years while hers is a thriving business. She spent a lot of money to l!IeJt~er prolrY}f:- ~ commercial with King County and does not want to do again for the cr:u~~!td-notiJè . possible for this to be a residential lot. Bryan Cope - He spoke on the Jackson request. He lives nearby. The City should keep businesses together and not place them out here. An auto mall should go along Pacific Highway near the other auto dealerships- There is no visibility of the property from 1-5 from the south and it would be a distraction from the north. Freeway Commercial zoning would change the City's "curb appeal." The City should work with SeaTac Mall to get more businesses to locate at the mall. Because of the wetlands, developing the Jackson property would be more trouble than it is worth. There is already a lot of noise in the neighborhood due to 1-5 and this would increase the nOIse, Lois Kutscha - Shespoke in favor of the Northlake request. She wants to see the zoning changed from six to four houses per acre. Carla Laslella - She spoke on the Jackson request, She had figured it would be office park, like other properties in the area, She is concerned for the children in the area who ride their bikes along 32nd and 316tl1, She is concerned auto dealerships would bring in transients who have no feeling for the community. She feels access to the site would make more sense if it were from the freeway as opposed to 32nd. Steve Charles - He spoke on the Davis request. As a small business owner, he knows the Davis's look upon this business as their retirement and it would be very detrimental to them to lose it. He commented that the building would not work as a home, Because 308tl1 Place is in the wrong place, according to the title insurance, the property is in the road, Because of this when they remolded, they had to change the setback on the second floor. There is only one bathroom and no place to put a second, There is no place a garage could go. The current building would have to be demolished in order to have a residential use on the property, Pam Ditzhazy - She spoke in opposition to the Jackson request. She lives on the comer of 32nd and 316tl1, She is concerned about the noise and light auto dealerships would bring. She is also concerned about the safety of the children and the increased traffic, Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner- If the Jackson applicant does not want Freeway Commercial, what other uses would be good for this area? Since they don't want it, why pursue the Freeway Commercial zoning? The City needs to communicate more clearly about the P AA issue because miscommunication has caused unneeded stress, The Commissioners commented that the P AA Subarea Plan has been in the works for 1 Y2 to 2 years. Numerous public meetings have been held that have been mailed to various citizens and agencies within the PAA, and advertised in the paper and on the City's TV Channel. Doug Parter - He spoke on the Davis request. He commented that community members do not have the ability to fight policy and that is what this is about. Val Caulder - He spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. A through street to 320th would increase traffic on 316th because people would use it to avoid the intersection of 3201h and Military, It would be a faster way to 1-5. Currently they ride horses on 316th and would no longer be able to do that.

BACKGROUND The proposed code amendment to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, to add a new Freeway Commercial Zone was presented to the Planning Commission at their March 17,2004, and April 7, 2004, public hearings. During the March 17,2004, public hearing, some members of the Commission had concerns and comments, which staff addressed in a follow-up memorandum, This memorandum was presented to the Planning Commission at their April ih meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Commission had two additional questions, which staff has addressed in the following section, II. FOLLOW-UP TO QUESTIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION Questions from the Planning Commission are shown followed by the staff response: 1. Planning Commission Question: Can the Freeway Commercial zoning designation also be applied to areas along SR 18 east ofI-5? Staff Response: After the March 17,2004, Planning Commission public hearing, staff had reviewed the proposed locational criteria for the Freeway Commercial zone and recommended that this designation only be applicable to areas five acres or greater that are adjacent to the Interstate 5 (1-5) interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. This was a change from the initial recommendation, which had also included SR-18, Staff recommended not including SR-18 because SR 18 extends to Pacific Highway where it becomes South 3481h Street. If properties in this area were to apply for and be granted a Freeway Commercial zone, there is a potential for 25-foot tall signs to be constructed at grade adjacent to South 348(h Street. The maximum allowable height of free stranding signs in that area is presently 12 feet. EXHIBIT S PA<'"3E_~ J)E 3 However, after further study of how the locational criteria could relate to SR IS, staff recommends that only those areas five acres or greater in size that border the 1-5/South 320th and 1-5/SR IS interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility should be eligible for the Freeway Commercial comprehensive plan and zoning designation. In order to accomplish this, staff recommends the following changes in the proposed locational criteria in Chapter 2, "Land Use," of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Proposed changes discussed in this memorandum are shown as 8trib~€Hlt and underlined, Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that are aàjaIJIJnt t€l IntIJfßtatIJ 5 and SR Us border the 1-5/South 320th and I-5/SR IS interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses pennitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales, home furnishings centers, and related retail and service uses that require large tracts of land, convenient freeway access, and visibility. This recommendation is based on the following reasons: (a) There are three 1-5 interchanges that serve the City of Federal Way. These are located at South 272nd Street and 1-5, South 320lh Street and 1-5, and South 34Sth Street and 1-5. Mark Twain Elementary School and multi-family development is located on property bordering the southwestern portion of the I-5/South 272nd interchange, which is located within the City of Federal Way, and a church borders the southeastern portion of the 1-5/South 272nd interchange, which is located within the Potential Annexation Area (P AA), The northeastern and northwestern portions of the South 272nd/I-5 interchange is located within the Cities of Des Moines and Kent, respectively. Freeway Commercial zoning would not be appropriate for those properties bordering either the southwestern or southeastern portions of the 1-5/South 272nd interchange, Therefore, only the I 5/South 320th and I-5/SR IS interchanges are proposed as potential locations for Freeway Commercial zoning, (b) Freeway Commercial zoning could not be applied to properties west of 16th A venue South along SR IS if eligible property was required to border rather than be adjacent to the 1- 5/SR-IS interchange. This is because the dictionary defines "adjacent" as being next to or nearby whereas it defines "border" as having a common boundary, (c) Areas north of SR-IS that may be eligible for this designation are presently under the Weyerhaeuser Company control, and are for the most part developed as office. In addition, these properties are zoned Corporate Park (CP-l) pursuant to a development agreement which has been crafted for uses and standards unique to this property, Uses in this area are not expected to change in the near future. Planning Commission Memorandum Follow-Up to Freeway Commercial Zone April 14,2004 Page 2 EXHIBIT S PAGE__-!þ:JF 3 (d) Areas to the south of SR 18 that meet this requirement are presently in the P AA and are zoned single family (R-4, four units per acre) under King County and are proposed to be given a pre-annexation Federal Way zoning designation of single family (RS 9,6, one unit per 9,600 square feet), One other potential candidate for Freeway Commercial zoning is located to the east of this single family zoned area. This property is also under Weyerhaeuser control and is zoned for Office Park (OP-I) pursuant to a development agreement. 2. Planning Commission Question: Do we have a map that shows areas that might qualify for the new Freeway Commercial zoning designation? Staff Response: (a) The new Freeway Commercial zoning designation is intended to apply to property at least five acres in size that borders, is visible from, and is easily accessible from the 1-5/South 320th and 1-5/SR 18 freeway interchanges, (b) This zoning designation can be applied to parcels within the P AA as well as in the City. (c) Like any other site-specific comprehensive plan amendment and rezone request, the Freeway Commercial designation could be applied for as part of the annual comprehensive plan amendment process, Staff has not prepared a map showing all potential parcels that may be eligible for this zone because this may set up an expectation on the part of owners that these properties shall be given this designation upon request. Like any other request, these requests would be subject to the comprehensive plan amendment process, which includes a Selection Process by the City Council, a Public Hearing by the Planning Commission, and a decision by the City Council.

ÅDMINISTRA TIVE REpORT None COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING - Potential Annexation Area (P AA) Subarea Plan Mr. Conlen delivered a presentation on questions raised at the last public hearing, It was stated that a development agreement is an option for the Rabie property. PUBLIC HEARING - New Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification Ms. Shull delivered a presentation on questions raised at the last public hearing, Because the Commission wanted to know what parcels this proposed zoning could be applied to, she showed a map of the current zoning in the areas considered for this proposed zoning classification, Ms, Shull commented that if this zoning classification is approved, any owner wishing to apply this proposed zone to their property would have to go through the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, PUBLIC HEARING - 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Quadrant Site-Specific Request Ms. Clark delivered the staff report. Commissioner Newport recused himself from the Quadrant site- specific request. This is a request to delete a proposed road from the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The road in question is an extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way, The City Council required the KIPtano;ng Commiss;onI2004IMeet;ng Summary 04-2t-O4.doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 EXHIBIT April 21, 2004 applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of deleting thÜ~snAGE~~~F~ . plan. The study concluded that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed action. Due to this proposal, Mr. Perez asked the Commission to consider amending the comprehensive plan to make 32nd Avenue South a principal collector from South 320th Street to approximately South 316th Street. The meeting was opened to public testimony, Commissioner Duclos infonned the Commission that she had spoken to Steve McNey and encouraged him to bring his comments to this public hearing. Wally Costello - Applicant for the Quadrant request. He explained their proposal for the parcels the road would pass through and showed how the road would be detrimental to the proposed project. There are wetlands on the property that will restrict development and a road would restrict it further. Joanne Kirkland - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She stated that the map in the staff report shows 31th as a through street (from 32nd to Military), but it is not. The report also says that a grocery store would decrease the amount of traffic in the area, but how could adding retail decrease the amount of traffic? She also commented that she recently learned that the P AA process has been going on for some two years, but this is the first she has heard about it. She is concerned that annexation would raise taxes and services would go down. This is a safe area for children and she is concerned that will change, Chainnan Caulfield asked if King County mailed a notification of the P AA Subarea Plan to those within the P AA? Ms. Grueter replied that the issue was on the King County website, but for the most part, the City of Federal Way mailed the notifications. A notification had been sent in the utility mailings. Charles Gibson - He spoke his support of the Northlake request and said he was available if the Commission had any questions. Cindy Cope - She spoke in opposition ofthe Jackson request. She feels there is no need to bring more retail into the area. There is a lot of available retail space in Federal Way, such as the vacant theater and empty spaces in the Mall and Ross Plaza and SeaTac Village, etc. This area is a very private neighborhood that is safe for children to ride their bikes. Opening 32nd would bring more traffic, which would make it more dangerous for children to ride their bikes and would bring in more crime, Steve McNey - He is the Jackson property manager. They want Community Business (Be) zoning because they feel they can best serve the neighborhood and the City with that zoning. They are not trying to compete with the downtown core. A grocery store in this area would decrease traffic on 320th, would proved a tax base to the City, and would provide a service to the neighborhood. They have submitted a docket to King County asking for a zoning change to commercial business, Kristen Wynne - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She feels the proposed Freeway Commercial zone is not compatible with existing uses. If a car dealership were to go into the area, it would mean more lights and noise, She commented that 320th is already a disaster area on the weekends, A more intense traffic study should be done before a decision is made. In addition, in tenns of aesthetics, a car dealership at the entrance to Federal Way is a step in the wrong direction, KIPlanning Commissionl2004lMeeting Summary 04-21-04 doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 EXHIBIT Apri121,2004 -'-- PAGE3JE.

It was m/s/c (unanimous) to recommend adoption of the Single Family, High Density comprehensive plan designation and Single Family 9.6 zoning for the Northlake P AA site-specific request. The Commission discussed how the owner of the Rabie P AA sit -specific request could utilize a development agreement. Mr. Fewins infonned the Commission that annexation of this area is not anticipated in the near future and the owner plans to develop soon, It was m/slf(one yes, four no, one abstain) to recommend adoption of the Neighborhood Business comprehensive plan designation and Neighborhood Business (BN) zoning for the Rabie P AA site-specific request. The Commission expressed concern over downzoning the property. It was m/slf(three yes, three no) to recommend adoption of the Single Family, High Density comprehensive plan designation and Single Family 7.2 zoning for the Rabie P AA site-specific request; with the stipulation that the Planning Commission feels strongly that a self- storage/mini-storage use would be an acceptable use on this site. After further discussion, it was concluded that the Rabie P AA site-specific request would go forward with no Planning Commission recommendation. It was m/slf(one yes, five no) to recommend adoption of the Community Business comprehensive plan designation and Community Business (BC) zoning for the Jackson P AA site-specific request.

Internal consistency among the chapters of the FWCP translates into coordinated growth and an efficient use of limited resources. Below is a brief discussion of how the Land Use chapter relates to the other chapters of the FWCP. Economic Development Federal Way's economy is disproportionately divided. Based on PSRC's 2000 Covered Estimates by jurisdiction~ retail and service industries compose more than 70 percent of Federal Way's employment base. Covered estimates are jobs that are covered by unemployment insurance. Dependence on retail trade stems primarily from the City's evolution into a regional shopping destination for South King County and northeast Pierce County. Increased regional competition from other retail areas, such as Tukwila and the Auburn SuperMall, may impact the City's ability to capture future retail dollars. To improve Federal Way's economic outlook, the economic development strategy is to promote a more diverse economy. A diversified economy should achieve a better balance between jobs and housing and supports the City's quality of life. In conjunction with the Economic Development chapter, this Land Use chapter promotes the following: . A City Center composed of mid-rise office buildings, mixed-use retail, and housing. . Community Business and Business Park development in the South 34Sth Street area. . Continued development of West Campus. . Continued development of East Campus (Weyerhaeuser Corporate and Office Park properties). . Redevelopment and development of the SR-99 corridor into an area of quality commercial and mixed use development, . Continued use of design standards for non-singleJamily areas. . Freeway commercial development focusing on attracting and capturing those retail dollars presently being lost to other communities and complementing existing retail uses in the community. 2003 Camp Plan Update 11-4 FWCP-ChapterTwo. Land Use EXHIBIT___.--1 PAGE--5()F~ The land use map designations support development necessary to achieve the above (see the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map 11-1). A complete discussion of economic development is set forth in the Economic Development chapter. Capital Facilities Capital facilities provided by the City include: transportation and streets, parks and open space, and surface water management. Infrastructure and Urban Services The amount and availability of urban services and infrastructure influences the location and pace of future growth. The City is responsible for the construction and maintenance of parks and recreation facilities, streets and transportation improvements, and surface water facilities. Providing for future growth while maintaining existing improvements depends upon the community's willingness to pay for the construction and financing of new facilities and the maintenance of existing facilities. As outlined in the Capital Facilities Plan, new infrastructure and services may be financed by voter-approved bonds, impact fees, grants, designated capital taxes (real estate excise tax, fuel tax, utility tax), and money from the City's general fund. To capitalize on the City's available resources for urban services and infrastructure, this Land Use chapter recognizes that concentrating growth is far more cost effective than allowing continued urban sprawl. Concentrating growth also supports the enhancement of future transit improvements. Water Availability Based on reports from the Lakehaven Utility District, the estimated available yield from the underlying aquifers is 10.1 million gallons per day (MGD, 10-year average based on average annual rainfall). The District controls which well to use, thus which aquifers are being pumped from, based on a number of considerations including water levels and rainfall. In order to reduce detrimental impacts to its groundwater supplies in the recent past, the District has also augmented its groundwater supplies with wholesale water purchased from the City of Tacoma through water system interties. In addition, the District has entered into a long-term agreement with the City of Tacoma and other South King County utilities to participate in the construction of Tacoma's Second Supply Project (a second water diversion from the Green River), which will provide additional water supplies to the region. As a result, the water levels in the aquifers have remained stable, and the District's water supply capacity will increase to 14,7 MGD on an annual average basis when Tacoma's Second Supply Project is completed in 2004. Concentrating growth, along with conservation measures, should help to conserve water. Water Quality Maintaining a clean source of water is vital to the health and livability of the City. Preserving water quality ensures a clean source of drinking water; and, continued health of the City's streams and lakes. Maintaining water quality is also important for maintaining 2003 Camp Plan Update 11-5 FWCP-ChapterTwo, Land Use EXHIBIT PAGE_'" '1-, " '\-1' ß' ------ LUP36 Develop business parks that fit into their surroundings by grouping similar industries in order to reduce or eliminate land use conflicts, allow sharing of public facilities and services, and improve traffic flow and safety. LUP37 Limit retail uses to those that serve the needs of people employed in the area. Commercial City Center Core The intent of establishing the City Center Core is to create a higher density, mixed-use designation where office, retail, government uses, and residential uses are concentrated. Other uses such as cultural/civic facilities, community services, and housing will be highly encouraged. City Center Frame The City Center Frame designation will have a look and feel similar to the Core and will provide a zone of less dense, mixed-use development physically surrounding a portion of the City Center Core. Together, they are meant to complement each other to create a "downtown" area. A more detailed description, along with goals and policies regarding the City Center Core and Frame, can be found in the City Center chapter. Community Business The Community Business designation encompasses two major retail areas of the City. It covers the "strip" retail areas along SR-99 and the large "bulk" retail area found near the South 348th Street area, approximately between SR-99 and 1-5. Community Business allows a large range of uses and is the City's largest retail designation in tenns of area. The Community Business designation generally runs along both sides of SR-99 from South 272nd to South 348th. A wide range of development types, appearance, ages, function, and scale can be found along SR-99. Older, single-story developments provide excellent opportunities for redevelopment. Due in part to convenient access and available land, the South 348th Street area has become a preferred location for large bulk retailers such as Eagle Hardware, Home Depot, and Costco. Due to the size of these facilities, the challenge will be to develop these uses into well functioning, aesthetically pleasing retail environments. To create retail areas that are aesthetically and functionally attractive, revised development standards, applied through Community Business zoning and Community Design Guidelines, address design quality, mixed-use, and the integration of auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Site design, modulation, and setback requirements are also addressed. Through regulations in the Community Business land use chart, the size and scale of hotels, motels, and office uses have been limited in scale so as not to compete with the City Center. 2003 Camp Plan Update 11-21 FWCP - Chapter T WOo land Use Goal LUG6 Policies LUP38 LUP39 EXH I 8.1 T_- PAGE__-5 7. ~] Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, mixed-use areas that appeal to pedestrians and motorists and enhance the community's image. Encourage transformation of Pacific Highway (SR-99) Community Business corridor into a quality mixed-use retail area. Retail development along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center, should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Integration of public amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged. Encourage auto-oriented large bulk retailers to locate in the South 348th Street Community Business area. Freeway Commercial The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that border the I-5/South 320th and I-5/SR 18interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses permitted in these areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to pedestrian-oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for automobile sales, home furnishings centers, and related retail and service uses that require large tracts onand, convenient freeway access and visibility, Goal LUG7 Policies LUP40 LUP41 LUP42 Encourage the deyelopment of limited areas with high levels of freeway access and visibility as suitable locations for freeway-oriented businesses to locate within the city in a cohesive development pattern that also meets the community's product and service needs. Encourage freeway oriented uses to locate in Freeway Commercial-designated areas, Encourage quality regional destination retail development through the utilization of appropriate design guidelines and development standards. The development of freeway commercial areas should respond to the needs of consumers by providing for ease of access and circulation and convenient grouping of complementary uses, 2003 Comp Plan Update 11-22 FWCP- Chapter Two. Land Use LUP43 EXHIBIT_- PAGE_'-_- , _Y~1 Create additional development standards to mitigate impacts to neigþboring residential uses. Neighborhood Business There are a dozen various sized nodes of Neighborhood Business located throughout the City. These nodes are areas that have historically provided retail and/or services to adjacent residential areas. The FWCP recognizes the importance of fionly fixed boundaries to prevent commercial intrusion into adjacent neighborhoods. Neighborhood Business areas are intended to provide convenient goods (e.g., groceries and hardware) and services (e.g., dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale close to adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential and commercial uses provide a convenient living environment within these nodes. In the future, attention should be given to design features that enhance the appearance or function of these areas. Improvements may include sidewalks, open space and street trees, and parking either on street or oriented away from the street edge. The function of neighborhood business areas can also be enhanced by safe pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections to surrounding neighborhoods. The need to address expansion or intensification may occur in the future depending on population growth. Future neighborhood business locations should be carefully chosen and sized to meet the needs of adjacent residential areas. Goal LUG7 Policies LUP40 LUP41 LUP42 LUP43 LUP44 LUP45 Provide neighborhood and community scale retail centers for the City's neighborhoods. Integrate retail developments into surrounding neighborhoods through attention to quality design and function. Encourage pedestrian and bicycle access to neighborhood shopping and servIces. Encourage neighborhood retail and personal services to locate at appropriate locations where local economic demand and design solutions demonstrate compatibility with the neighborhood. Retail and personal services should be encouraged to group together within planned centers to allow for ease of pedestrian movement. Neighborhood Business centers should consist of neighborhood scale retail and personal services.

Development of subarea plans can lead to area specific visions and policies. This type of specific planning, developed with citizen input and direction, can lead to improved confidence and ownership in the community. Areas where subarea planning should be considered include: SR-99 Corridor, South 348th Street area, and Twin Lakes neighborhood. Incentives Develop an incentives program, for both residential and commercial development. Incentives should be substantial enough to attract development and should be used to create affordable and desired types of housing and to encourage development within the City Center. .

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2003 Comprehensive Plan Update - Quadrant Site-specific Request, File #02-104263-00 UP MEETING DATE: May 3, 2004 I. BACKGROUND The 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments include four components. The first is the adoption of a Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan, which will replace Chapter 8, Potential Annexation Areas of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The second is the adoption oflanguage related to a new zoning classification entitled Freeway Commercial, which would apply to both the City and the P AA. The third request is to remove the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street from the comprehensive plan. The last component is the request by Christian Faith Center for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone from Business Park (BP) to Multifamily Residential 3600 (RM 3600), and associated development agreement and development plan. This staff report pertains exclusively to the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan amendment to delete the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street, shown on Map III-27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the FWCP (Exhibit A of Exhibit 1), and to delete this project from Table III-I 9 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B of Exhibit 1).

SITE-SPECIFIC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE In September 2003, the City received four site-specific requests for changes to comprehensive plan designations and zoning, and one request to delete a future road from the comprehensive plan. The Federal Way City Council held a public hearing "Selection Process" on November 18,2003, on these requests and detennined that only the request by Quadrant to delete a future road from the comprehensive plan should go forward for further analysis (Exhibit C of Exhibit 1). The City required the applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of deletion of this street from the comprehensive plan. A March 2, 2004, traffic study "S. 320th Street North Parcel: Weyerhaeuser Way Extension Analysis" was prepared by The Transpo Group (Exhibit D of Exhibit 1). QUADRANT REQUEST File Number: Parcel No.'s: Location: 02-104263-00 UP 551560-0005,551560-0010,551560-0015,551560-0020,551560-0026, 551560-0025,551560-0030,551560-0037, 551560-0035, 551560-0091, and 551560-00901 Weyerhaeuser Way South would be extended from its existing tenninus at South 320th Street in a northwesterly direction to the future extension of32nd A venue South (Exhibit C of Exhibit 1).

Requested Comprehensive Plan: Requested Zoning: Staff Recommendation: N/A N/A Staff recommended that the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan amendment to delete the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street, shown on Map 111- 27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the comprehensive plan (Exhibit A of Exhibit 1) and to delete this project from Table 111-19 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B of Exhibit 1) be approved. IV. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION During the hearing, the Planning Commission asked who would be responsible for extending 32od Avenue South, and at what time would the extension occur. Traffic Engineer Rick Perez responded that as property on either side of 32od A venue South developed, the developer would be responsible for building the half-street adjacent to his or her property. On Map III-6 ofthe Comprehensive Plan, the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension is classified as a principal collector. Thirty-second Avenue South is classified as a minor collector from South 320th to South 3 16th Street and as a principal collector north of South 316th Street. Mr. Perez recommended that if the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from South 320th Street to South 316th Street was not constructed, then that portion of 32od Avenue South, which is planned to be a minor collector, should be upgraded to a principal collector. This would ensure a consistent traffic flow on 32od Avenue South from South 320th northwards. The Planning Commission concurred with Mr. Perez's recommendation and added the following amendments: 1. Map III-5: Upgrade 32od Avenue South to a principal collector between the planned Weyerhaeuser Way South extension/32od Avenue intersection and South 320th Street. 2. Map 111-6: Revise the same segment of 32od Avenue South from a Type R street to Type 0.2 3. Map 111-27B: Realign Project 35 from Weyerhaeuser Way extension to 32od Avenue South 4.

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2003 .Comprehensive Plan Amendments MEETING DATE: Apri121,2004 I. BACKGROUND Federal Way adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 1995 and updated it in December 1998, December 2000, November 2001, and March 2003. The Growth Management Act (GMA) limits plan updates to no more than once per year except under the following circumstances: (i) The initial adoption of a sub-area plan that does not modify the comprehensive plan policies and designations applicable to the subarea; (ii) The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program. (iii) 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. Except as otherwise provided above, the governing 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 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. II. 2003 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS The 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments include three components. The first is a request to remove the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street. The second is the adoption of a Potential Annexation Area (P AA) Subarea Plan, which will replace Chapter 8, Potential Annexation Areas of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The third component is the adoption of language related to the adoption of a new zoning classification entitled Freeway Commercial, which would apply to both the City and P AA. Changes to the text of the comprehensive plan are not proposed during this year's update because the seven-year update was completed in March 2003. The intent of the seven-year update was to ensure that the comprehensive plan complies with the key requirements made to the GMA between 1995 and 2001, EXHIBIT I PAGE---L-OF~ This staff report pertains exclusively to the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan amendment to delete the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street, shown on Map III-27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the FWCP (Exhibit A), and to delete this project from Table III-19 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission commenced the public hearing on the P AA Subarea Plan and the Freeway Commercial Zone on March 17, 2004, with a continuation to April 7, 2004. They will hold the portion of the public hearing on whether to amend the comprehensive plan to remove the planned extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South on April 21, 2004. III. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, "Zoning," Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as follows: . To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments; . To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meets the criteria provided by FWCC Sections 22-529 and 22-530; and, . To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the proposed comprehensive plan amendments, IV.

SITE-SPECIFIC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE In September 2003, the City received four site-specific requests for changes to comprehensive plan designations and zoning, and one request to delete a future road from the comprehensive plan, The Federal Way City Council held a public hearing "Selection Process" on November 18,2003, on these requests and determined that only the request by Quadrant to delete a future road from the comprehensive plan should go forward for further analysis (Exhibit C), The City required the applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of deletion of this street from the comprehensive plan, A March 2, 2004, traffic study "S. 320lh Street North Parcel: Weyerhaeuser Way Extension Analysis" was prepared by The Transpo Group (Exhibit D), Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12, 2004 Page 2 EXH1BIT_--.l P AGE.-10F ~ Quadrant Request File Number: Parcel No.'s: 02-104263-00 UP 551560-0005,551560-0010,551560-0015,551560-0020,551560-0026, 551560-0025,551560-0030,551560-0037,551560-0035,551560-0091, and 551560-00901 Weyerhaeuser Way South would be extended from its existing terminus at South 320lh Street in a northwesterly direction to the future extension of32nd Avenue South (Exhibit C), The Quadrant parcel is approximately 20 acres Wally Costello on behalf of the Quadrant Corporation Weyerhaeuser Company Wally Costello on behalf of the Quadrant Corporation Request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan amendment to delete the planned extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320th Street, shown on Map III-27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the Comprehensive Plan (Exhibit A) and to delete this project from Table III-19 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B), Location: Size: Applicant: Owner: Agent: Request: Existing Comprehensive Plan: Existing Zoning: Federal Way Office Park and King County Urban Residential Federal Way Office Park (OP) and King County R-4 (Residential, four units per acre) and R -18 (Residential, 18 units per acre), Requested Comprehensive Plan: Requested Zoning: Public Comments Received: N/A N/A None ANAL VSIS Background They applicant submitted an application for a binding site plan (Federal Way File #03-102229-00- SU) and SEP A review (Federal Way File #03-102230-00-SE) for development of an office complex (East Campus North Office) on the parcels shown on Exhibit C in May 2003, The reason for their comprehensive plan amendment request is that the extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South from its existing terminus at South 320lh Street to the future extension of 32nd A venue would divide this parcel. The application for a binding site plan for these parcels has been determined to be incomplete by the City and is therefore on-hold at this time, Neighborhood Characteristics The underlying parcels through which the future road extension is planned are a mix of vacant and single family residential. In addition, the Bonneville Power Administration (BP A) power lines with supporting towers are located in this area, I These parcels are the underlying parcels owned by the Quadrant Corporation through which the road extension is planned. Since the alignment of the road is conceptual at this time, there are other unidentified parcels that may also be affected, Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12,2004 Page 3 EXH I B IT ___I PAGE.-!LOF ---äL- There are no structures on the Quadrant parcels and it is difficult to determine whether existing structures on adjacent properties may be affected by a future road extension, since the alignment of the road is conceptual at this time. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Sensitive Areas The underlying Quadrant parcels across which the road is shown in the comprehensive plan have a rolling topography. Slopes vary from zero to eight percent over the majority of the site, with the steepest slope of 15 percent located in the easterly portion of the site. The site is generally mapped as Alderwood soils. There are four on-site wetlands. One wetland is located near the center of the site and the other three are located in the easterly portion of the site. No environmental information is known about the other parcels across which this road would extend, Drainage The underlying Quadrant parcels are vacant. Deletion ofthe road from the comprehensive plan will not affect drainage. If additional impervious surface is added to any of the parcels in the future through either the road extension or development or redevelopment of the parcels, they will be required to meet the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. Access The area through which the future road is planned for is bounded by South 320lh Street on the south and 32nd Avenue South on the west. Weyerhaeuser Way South is planned to be extended northward from South 320lh Street and curve gradually westward to intersect the future extension of 32nd A venue South between the BP A powerline corridor and South 316th Street. Noise Based on a site visit to these parcels, staff observed that these parcels experience noise from both 1-5 and South 320lh Street. The extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South would result in additional noise impacts to the existing residences along the alignment. Potential Traffic Impacts If approved, the proposal would delete a planned street from the comprehensive plan. The traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed action. Although there is no substantial impact associated with the deletion of this road from the comprehensive plan, vehicular delay could be reduced by a minor traffic signal phasing and pavement marking modification at the intersection of South 300lh Street and 32nd A venue South. Projections for Population and Employment There are some single-family residences in the area of the planned road extension; however, it is difficult to tell if they would be eliminated, since the road alignment is conceptual at this time. Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12, 2004 Page 4 EXHIBIT_- I P AGE- ~JF~-- CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES Goal or Policy Comments TPIO, which reads in part, "Protect The deletion of the proposed Weyerhaeuser Way South existing and acquire future right-of- extension to the proposed extension of 32nd A venue South is not way consistent with functional consistent with this policy, However, a traffic study (Exhibit D) classification cross-section (transit, prepared to evaluate the impacts of not constructing this street rail, bike, and pedestrian) needs." on 2020 traffic volumes found that without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area. TP14, which reads, "Provide access The traffic study (Exhibit D) prepared to evaluate the impacts of between major development areas not constructing the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension found identified in the recommended that the planned 32nd A venue South extension would alternative, while improving business accommodate forecast travel in the study area with the same access and protecting City travel times and approximately the same vehicle núles traveled, neighborhoods," Therefore, access between major development areas would still be provided, TP20, which reads, 'Take advantage The future 32nd Avenue South extension would provide an of opportunities to open new road additional route alternative between South 320th Street and connections to create route South 316th Street. In addition, as stated in the traffic study alternatives, especially in areas with (Exhibit D), the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would few access choices," accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentìally the same operating conditions within the study area, the same travel times, and approximately the same vehicle núles traveled, Therefore, the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension is not necessary to create an alternative route in that area. TP2I, which reads in part, "Enhance The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension traffic circulation and access with would provide a closer spacing of through streets; however, closer spacing of through streets, with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, it unless geographical constraints do would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access. not permit." CONCLUSION The proposed action does not create quantifiable adverse impacts. In addition, the conclusions of the March 2, 2004, "S, 320th Street North Parcel: Weyerhaeuser Way Extension Analysis," which was prepared by The Transpo Group (Exhibit D), and reviewed and concurred with by the City's Traffic Division, found that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed deletion of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the comprehensive plan, VI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTIONS 22-529 AND 22-530 1. Section 22-529. Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment The City may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors when considering a proposed amendment to the comprehensive plan: Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12,2004 Page 5 EXHIBIT_- .1 P AGE-l.-ÛF-"--- (1) Tlte effect upon tlte pltysical environment. Deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non-project action and would have no effect on the physical environment. An evaluation of potential impacts to the environment as a result of this non-project action was conducted and a threshold Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS), pursuant to the SEP A, was issued on March 20, 2004. (2) Tlte effect on open space, streams, and lakes. Deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non-project action and would have no effect on open space, streams, and lakes. (3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. The underlying parcels through which the future road extension is planned are a mix of vacant and single-family residential. In addition, the Bonneville Power Administration (BP A) power lines with supporting towers are located in this area. There are no structures on the Quadrant parcels and it is difficult to determine whether existing structures on adjacent properties may be affected by a future road extension, since the alignment of the road is conceptual at this time. The Transpo Group's traffic study stated that the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension would bisect the Quadrant parcel, significantly impacting the development feasibility of the site. (4) Tlte adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools. The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non-project action. Therefore, the removal of the road from the comprehensive plan would not impact community facilities such as utilities, parks, recreation, and schools. The traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension. (5) Tlte benefit to tlte neigltborltood, city, and region. There would be no benefit to the neighborhood, City, or region by deleting the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, However, the associated benefit of the road deletion for the City would be the development of the 20-acre Quadrant site as office and the creation of jobs. (6) Tlte quantity amllocation of land planned for tlte proposed land use type and density and tlte demand for suclt land. The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non-project action; therefore, this criterion is not applicable, Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12,2004 Page 6 EXHIBIT_1 P AGE ,~) F --Jf,I- (7) Tlte current and projected population density in tlte area. The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non-project action; therefore, this criterion is not applicable. (8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan. There should not be any adverse impacts on the comprehensive plan as a result of the proposed road deletion from the comprehensive plan. 2. Section 22-530. Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan The City may amend the comprehensive plan only ifit finds that: (1) Tlte proposed amendment bears a substantial relationsltip to public healtlt, safety, or welfare Deleting the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the comprehensive plan would not affect the public health, safety, or welfare. The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would provide a closer spacing of through streets, however, with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, it would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access. In addition; the traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area, either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, AND (2) Tlte proposed amendment is in tlte best interest of the residents oftlte city. Please see response under (1), above. However, a potential benefit of the road deletion for the City would be the development ofthe 20-acre Quadrant site and the creation of jobs, (3) Tlte proposed amendment is consistent witlt tlte requirements of RCW 36. 70A and witlt tlte portion oftlte city's adopted plan not affected by tlte amendment. RCW Chapter 36,70A, the Growth Management Act, requires the City of Federal Way to adopt and implement a comprehensive plan and to amend it in a timely manner, but no more than once a year, except under certain circumstances. The City is responding to this mandate by updating the comprehensive plan. The proposed deletion of the road is consistent with the remainder of the comprehensive plan. VII. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTION 22-488(c) (1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that: a. Tlte proposed request is in tlte best interests of tlte residents of tlte city; Planning Commission Memorandum 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 12,2004 Page 7 EXHIBIT.---l P AGE -1-C) F -'- The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would provide a closer spacing of through streets, However, with the construction of the 32"d A venue South extension, the extension would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access, In addition, the traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd A venue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area, either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension. Consequently, the deletion of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the comprehensive plan should have no effect on residents of the City, However, a potential benefit of the road deletion for the City would be the development of the 20-acre Quadrant site and the creation of joþs. AND b. The proposed request is appropriate because either: i. Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly changed since the property was given its present zoning and that, under those changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest; Since the property was annexed in January 9, 1999, a number of large office buildings and corporate headquarters have been constructed south of South 320th Street in East Campus. Development of offices on this site is a logical extension for high quality office park development. The Transpo Group's traffic study stated that the planned Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would bisect the parcel, significantly impacting the development feasibility of the site, OR ii. The change in designation will correct a designation that was inappropriate when established. This criterion is not applicable, c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan,' The following comprehensive plan policies support the future construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, TPIO Protect existing and acquire future right-of-way consistent with functional classification cross section (transit, rail, bike, and pedestrian) needs,... TPI4 Provide access between major development areas identified in the recommended alternative, while improving business access and protecting City neighborhoods.

The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would provide a closer spacing of through streets, However, with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, it would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access. In addition, The Transpo Group Traffic Study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area, either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension, d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of tlte chapter, including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan; There are no regulations in FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," that require street connectivity or specify block perimeter standards. However, Transportation Policy TP21 of the FWCP states, "Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets, unless geographical constraints do not permit.. .." AND e. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. The March 2, 2004, Transpo Group Traffic Study concluded that with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would not be necessary, as it would not enhance traffic circulation and access, Therefore, the deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan would be consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. (2) The city may approve an application for a quasi-judicial project related rezone only if it finds that: a. b. The criteria in subsection (1) above are met; AND The proposed project complies with this chapter in all respects; AND The site plan of the proposed project is designed to minimize all adverse impacts on the developed properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property; AND The site plan is designed to minimize impacts upon the public services and utilities. c. d. The request under consideration is for an amendment to the comprehensive plan to delete a road, It is not a project-related rezone, and therefore, the criteria under this section do not apply. VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan amendment to delete the planned extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320lh Street, shown on Map III-27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the comprehensive plan (Exhibit A) and to delete this project from Table III-19 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B) be approved.

This analysis has been prepared in support of the comprehensive plan amendment currently re(luested by Quadrant. The methodology surrounding these analyses were coordinated in advance with City of Federal \Xlay staff in a December 2003 memorandum. Through close coordination and cooperation with City staff, Transpo utilized the approved methodology to arrive at the results presented herein. Background As part of their comprehensive plan, the City of Federal \V'ay has previously identified a long-range improvement project tl1at would extend \'Veyerhaeuser \Xlay nortl1 from its current terminus at S 320'h Street to the future extension of 32nd A \'enue S, 'l1lis extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way would divide tlle S 320'h Street North Parcel that Quadrant Corporation has proposed for development, A Transportation Impact Analysis (flA) was completed by Transpo in May 2003 for tllis proposed development. In response to City comments regarding the TIA, Quadrant is pursuing a comprehensive plan amendment that would clÚninate the subject extension of \V'eyerhaeuser Way S. This study satisfies the City's re(juirements for a comprehensive plan amendment process. By evaluating future-year scenarios with and without the \'Veyerhaeuser \X1ay extension, decisions regarding the improvement can be Jude as to its necessity and benefits when balanced against the impacts to affected properties. Study Methodology Through coordination with City staff, nine study Intersections were identified for analysis. These intersections arc believed to be those most affected by the potential extensIon of \X!eyerlueuscr \\I;IY, \X!hen considerïng the constructIon of ncw roads, it is common that the ad¡acent p;¡rallcl arterials are evalu;¡ted.

The City of Federal Way provided their 2000 and 2020 forecast emme/2 traffic modeling networks for use in developing the future PM peak hour traffic volumes. The original 2020 model provided by the City dLd not include the Weyerhaeuser Way extension. Transpo revised the 2020 model to include the planned extension. Thus two model scenarios were developed, one with the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension and one without the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension. Further modifications were made to the City's travel demand model for both alternatives at the Interstate 5 (1-5) ramps to/from S 320th Street to allow left turns from the ramps onto S 320m Street. These turning movements are currently permitted. However, the City's 2020 model has assumed left-turn restrictions. There are no future improvements that indicate that such restrictions will be in place in the future. City staff concurred with these revisions to the model coding. For both scenarios, without and with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, 2000 turning movement volumes were subtracted from the 2020 model volumes to arrive at 20 year forecast growth in traffic volumes for each turning movement. Prior to adding the 20 year growth to the existing turning movements, adjustments to the 20-year growth were made to account for the year in which each existing traffic count was conducted. Existing traffic counts at the study intersections were conducted in either 2002 or 2004. By adding the difference in the two models to existing traffic counts, the forecast results are calibrated to real-world conditions. Furthermore, this methodology further accounts for shifts in traffic that result from planned improvements, such as the S 312m Street extension. TIús is a common post process modeling procedure that reduces the effects of known modeling deficiencies and linùtations. The above procedures were followed for both scenarios (with and without the Weyerhaeuser Way extension). Traffic volumes along S 320'h Street were balanced between intersections. The resulting traffic volumes without the Weyerhaeuser Way extension are shown in Figure 1 for the weekday PM peak hour, while Figure 2 shows the traffic volumes with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension. ~ ~' EXHIBIT ~ PAGE~9f -Ð- The Transpo Group - DRAFT- , 6 I ~!~ I 94 ) \. 152 , 1,866 - -- 1,821 ¡ 1,493- 'II 32 , --- r ( 31 I 838, ! 49 t 65 , I 8 ~ j ..-' ----- ---- --~-"----- ..

I 18> &fa Evaluation Criteria and Results 'Through coordination with City staff, three measures of effectiveness were identified for analysis to determine the effect of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension upon traffic operations in the area, The selected measures of effectiveness iqclude: study intersection level of service (LOS), corridor travel time on Weye1;haeuser Way and 32nd Avenue S, and vehicle miles traveled (V1\1'1) as determined by the City's traffic model. Intersection Operations The City of Federal Way provided their Synchro network for use with the S 320'h Street North Parcel TIA. This Synchro network was revised to include future city projects in the immediate area that were also considered in the development of the future 2020 traffic forecasts, These improvements include: . The extension of 32nd Avenue S, from S 320'h Street to S 312th Street . The extension of S 312'h Street from 28th A venue S to Military Road S (across Interstate 5) . Improvements to S 320'h Street including a seven lane section, City staff provided specific details of projected future channelization at the study intersections that are affected by these improvements, as well as various improvements to existing intersections. Level of service (LOS) analyses was conducted for the 2020 without extension and with extension scenarios using these improvement assumptions, Traffic signal cycle lengths were preserved as providcd by the Syncmo file (120 seconds), but the signal splits and offsets were optimized in the 2020 without extension scenario and held constant for the 2020 with extension scenario, By holding the timings constant, an equal comparison can be drawn between the results to isolate the effect of the extension on traffic operations, Table 1 summarizes the LOS results with and without the Weyerhaeuser \X'ay extension.

In the scenario \vifu'out the Weyerhacuser Way extension, vehicles would travel on Weyerhaeuser Way, S 320th Street, and 32nd Avenue S, With the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, vehicles would bypass S 320th Street and travel on Weyerhaeuser Way directly to 32nd Avenue S. A traffic signal was assumed to be constructed at the 32nd Avenue S/Weyerhaeuser Way extension intersection, and is included in the with extension scenario travel time calculations. . Running time for the scenarios is expected to be approximately the same for each alternative since the posted speed and distance traveled is essentially the same for each scenario. These running times were then added to turning movement delay experienced at each intersection along the travel route. The delay estimates utilized were consistent with the Synchro model outputs utilized for the intersection LOS calculations. A third, mitigated scenario was added for evaluation in the travel time analyses to demonstrate a potential mitigation measure that would noticeably reduce travel time in the without Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenario. Based on information provided by the City, th'e south leg of the 32nd Avenue S/S 320th Street intersections is configured with a left-turn lane and a left-thru lane. This configuration and traffic volumes would require operating the traffic signal with split phasing. Split phasing is generally considered less than desirable phasing method as it results in less efficient signal operations. Therefore, the third scenario assumes the south leg would operate with a left-turn and a thru-right and the signal would be operated with more efficient phasing. The benefits of eliminating such phasing from the future plans for this traffic signal are shown in Table 2, along with the unmitigated scenarios. A detailed summary of the travel time data is shown in Attachment B.

Northbound, it accounts for a savings of only 10 seconds per vehicle, while in the southbound direction it accounts for approximately 30 seconds of travel time savings per vehicle during the PM peak hour. However, if the City's proposed split phasing at 32nd Avenue S/S 320th Street is replaced with protected north/south phasing, the difference between the with and without Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenarios is cut in half. In the northbound direction, a vehicle would save approximately 6 seconds of travel time with the extension, and about 14 seconds in the southbound direction with the extension, when compared to the without extension alternative. As was noted previously, in the mitigated without extension scenario, the northbound leg of the 32nd Avenue S/S 320th Street intersection would be converted to provide a single left turn lane to allow for protected north/south left turn phasing at the intersection. In order to further understand the effects of these changes among the mitigated and unmitigated scenarios, the previous LOS analyses were revised to address the proposed mitigation measures. The results of this analysis are swnmarized in Table 3. Also shown in Table 3 are the results of the queuing analyses. The queuing analysis was conducted using Synchro 5.0 and focused primarily on the northbound left-turn movement only.

The largest positive impact is on the delay would occur on the southbound approach, which explains the improved southbound tra~cl time. The 95th percentile queue increases by approximately 50 feet with the single, northbound left turn lane. Based on these results, it appears that the mitigated option does not substantially affect the northbound approach at 32nd Avenue S/S 320th Street, thereby EXHIBIT ~,' PAGE-LOF ~ """°..

A sub-area was created from the large model that included the links within the study area previously identified. It extended from S 312th Street to the north, S 320th Street to the South, Military Road to the east, and 25th Avenue to the west. Vehicle miles traveled' (VM1) equal the nwnber of vehicles on each link, multiplied by the link length. The VMT with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension was found to be 5,470 miles. Without the extension, the VMT was 5,376. As noted, there is less VMT without the new roadway. In general these results are similar. Relative to the size of the City's model being utilized for this analysis, the planned extension is minimal. As a result, the model may not be refined enough to provide realistic data.. The information presented does indicate that dIe change in VMT would be minor. Benefit/Cost Analysis As noted previously, the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension would bisect the north parcel property, significandy impacting the development feasibility of the site. To help understa.nd the economic impacts of the Weyerhaeuser Way eXtension, the travel time benefits as noted above were reviewed and put in the context of an economic impact. Based on information provided by Quadrant, the extension of Weyerhaeuser Way would result in a $1.5 to 2.5 million negative economic impact to the project. This figure includes the additional costs of a road to full city arterial sta.ndards as well as the loss in development potential for the site. Based on a total savings of20 seconds for approximately 2221 vehicles during the PM peak hour, for both the northbound and southbound travel times and a cost of$1.5 to 2.5 million. This equates to a cost per vehicle (PM peak hour) between $6,757 and $11,261. This comparison illustrates that the potential benefits of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension are greatly surpassed by the cost implications of constructing the roadway. Summary This study evaluated LOS, travel time, VMT, and a cost/benefit analysis of the planned Weyerhaeus'er Way extension between S 320th Street and 32nd Avenue. Based on the analyses dcta.ilcd in this memorandum, Transpo has found the following information to be true: t Reflects shifts in background traffic, plus site traffic that would likdy utiliz~~~n ~ '£ I . of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension.

P AGE -U-:Q F JfR-- The Weyerhaeuser Way extension would provide litde to no benefit to overall intersection operations at the nine study intersections Excluding site related traffic, the extension would attract approximately 180 additional PM peak hour trips PM peak hour operations would remain at LOS C throughout the study area with or without the roadway extension. The Weyerhaeuser Way extension would decrease northbound and southbound travel tin1es for vehicles traveling between Weyerhaeuser Way and the planned 32nd A venue S roadway by a toml of 20 seconds (NB and SB) per vehicle. A comparison ofVMT between alternatives indicates less VMT (1.7 percent) without the roadway extension. Although the model may not be refined to a detail to provide a truly accurate measurement on such a small scale, the minor change confinns the nùnÏmal impacts previously shown with respect to intersection LOS and corridor travel times. When considering the economic impacts and the average travel time savings, the cost equates to between $6,757 and $11,261. Thus, the cost of the planned extension is not proportional to the project impacts assuming no extension of Weyerhaeuser Way. . . . . . The proposed Weyerhaeuser Way extension is anticipated to provide nominal benefit that would be unapparent to the average driver. Without the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, the planned 3200 A venue S extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area; the same travel times, and the approximately the same VMT. Therefore, the results indicate that the Weyerhaeuser Way extension would be redundant. M:\O2\O2282\Comp Plan anuncndmant\O2282mt-WWE.doc ~ \. ... ..

Tina Piety. Chair Caulfield called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.111. ApPROV AL OF MINUTES It was III/sic to adopt the April 7, 2004, minutes as presented. AUDIENCE COMMENT None. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT None COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING - Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan Mr. Conlen delivered a presentatIon on questions raised at the last public hearIng. It was stated that a development agreement is an optIon for the RabIe property. PUBLIC IIEARING - New Freeway Commercial Zoning Classification Ms. Shull delIvered a presentatIon on questions raIsed at the last publIc hearIng. Because the Commission wanted to know what parcels this proposed ZOl1lng could be applIed to, she showed a map of the current zoning in the areas considered for this proposed zonlllg classIficatIon. Ms. Shull commented that if this zonIng classIficatIon IS approved. any owner wishlllg to apply thIs proposed zone to theIr property would have to go through the City's ComprehensIve Plan Amendment process. PUBLIC HEARING - 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Quadrant Site-Specific Request Ms. Clark delivered the stafr report. CommissIoner Newport recused hImself from the Quadrant site- specIfic request. ThIs is a requcst to deletc a proposed road {ì-om the Federal Way Co/llprchcnsivc Plan (FWCP), The road 111 question is an extension of Weyerhaeuser Way. The City Council required the K IPianning Comnu"'onI2004\Mcclmg Snmn""y 04.2t.O4 doc EXH'B\T PAGE. 2- ,- I Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 April 21,2004 applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of deleting this street from the comprehensive plan. The study concluded that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed action, Due to this proposal, Mr. Perez asked the Commission to consider amending the comprehensive plan to make 32nd A venue South a principal collector from South 320lh Street to approximately South 3161h Street. The meeting was opened to public testimony. Commissioner Duclos infonned the Commission that she had spoken to Steve McNey and encouraged him to bring his comments to this public hearing. Wally Costello - Applicant for the Quadrant request. He explained their proposal for the parcels the road would pass through and showed how the road would be detrimental to the proposed project. There are wetlands on the property that will restrict development and a road would restrict it further. Joanne Kirkland - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She stated that the map in the staff report shows 312lh as a through street (from 32nd to Military), but it is not. The report also says that a grocery store would decrease the amount of traffic in the area, but how could adding retail decrease the amount of traffic? She also commented that she recently learned that the PAA process has been going on for some two years, but this is the first she has heard about it. She is concerned that annexation would raise taxes and services would go down. This is a safe area for children and she is concerned that will change. Chainnan Caulfield asked if King County mailed a notification of the P AA Subarea Plan to those within the P AA? Ms. Grueter replied that the issue was on the King County website, but for the most part, the City of Federal Way mailed the notifications. A notification had been sent in the utility mailings. Charles Gibson - He spoke his support of the Northlake request and said he was available if the Commission had any questions. Cindy Cope. - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She feels there is no need to bring more retail into the area. There is a lot of available retail space in Federal Way, such as the vacant theater and empty spaces in the Mall and Ross Plaza and SeaTac Village, etc. This area is a very private neighborhood that is safe for children to ride their bikes. Opening 32nd would bring more traffic, which would make it more dangerous for children to ride their bikes and would bring in more crime. Steve McNey - He is the Jackson property manager. They want Community Business (Be) zoning because they feel they can best serve the neighborhood and the City with that zoning. They are not trying to compete with the downtown core. A grocery store in this area would decrease traffic on 3201h, would proved a tax base to the City, and would provide a service to the neighborhood. They have submitted a docket to King County asking for a zoning change to commercial business. Kristen Wynne - She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. She feels the proposed Freeway Commercial zone is not compatible with existing uses, If a car dealership were to go into the area, it would mean more lights and noise. She commented that 320lh is already a disaster area on the weekends. A more intense traffic study should be done before a decision is made. In addition, in tenus of aesthetics, a car dealership at the entrance to Federal Way is a step in the wrong direction. K:IPlanning Commission\2004\Mceting Sunwnary04-21-04.doc EXHIBIT.

Based upon the State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) and King County Countywide Planning Policies, the City would ultimately annex and provide services within its designated PAA. While the City's Comprehensive Plan focuses upon plans and policies for property in the City limits, this Subarea Plan augments the Comprehensive Plan and addresses in more detail the Federal Way PAA, located principally to the east ofl-5, with a small portion located west ofl-5 and north of the City limits near the Redondo neighborhood. Over time, property owners in the P AA have made annexation requests to the City of Federal Way, which requires a thorough City analysis of service/capital expenditures, revenues, and other issues. To review its P AA comprehensively and in advance of individual requests, the City of Federal Way, with the support of King County, initiated a PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study of which this P AA Subarea Plan is a part. By evaluating the feasibility of potential annexations and planning for the future delivery of services, residents of the P AA and the City can make more informed choices about their future. Specific Subarea Plan purposes include: . To act as an informational resource for the City and County staff, elected officials, residents, property owners, and business owners; . To identify the P AA-specific goals, policies, pre-annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations and capital plans; and . To provide the City with a framework to guide future annexations. In coordination with the City's overall Comprehensive Plan, this P AA Subarea Plan provides a Year 2020 long-range land use and policy plan to guide pre- annexation planning efforts and annexation requests. 1.2 P AA Location and General Characteristics The Federal Way PAA is located in South King County, and, with the exception of a small future annexation area near the intersection of South 272nd Street and Pacific Highway South (SR 99), lies generally east of the City of Federal Way and Interstate 5. The PAA is characterized by a series of residential neighborhoods focused around numerous lakes beginning with Star Lake at the north and concluding with Five Mile Lake at the South. See Maps I and II. December 2003 1 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan 1.3 Subarea Plan Relationship to Other Elements The GMA requires that the City of Federal Way prepare a 20-year comprehensive plan that at a minimum addresses land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities, transportation, economic development, and parks and recreation. Optionally, a city or county may choose to include subarea plans and/or other elements. GMA does not limit optional topics. Since its adoption in 1995, the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan has included policies identifying the need for comprehensive land planning in its designated PAA. The City's Comprehensive Plan was prepared in accordance with the GMA and underwent an extensive public participation process including City residents, property owners, and business owners as documented in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Introduction. The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan in its entirety contains ten elements: Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Housing, Capital Facilities, City Center, Potential Annexation Area, Natural Environment, and Private Utilities. The Consolidated Plan for Housing and Human Services, and the Parks Recreation and Cultural Services Plan are incorporated by reference. When adopted in final form, this P AA Subarea Plan will be a component of the overall Federal Way Comprehensive Plan focusing upon the 5,OOO-acre future annexation area, and will replace the Potential Annexation Area Element of the Comprehensive Plan currently in place. It is intended that the City's Comprehensive Plan Elements provide the general goals and policies for land use, transportation, economic development, etc. for the P AA as well as the City. However, the P AA Subarea Plan is intended to address unique characteristics or situations relevant to the P AA. Future annexation proposals will be evaluated, and, if approved, implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, that will include the PAA Subarea Plan. 1.4 Subarea Planning Process and Concepts This P AA Subarea Plan has been prepared in accordance with an established work program that included reviews by the City of Federal Way, King County, and two working committees. The work program has included public participation throughout the process. The key steps in this planning process include: . Inventory: The inventory identifies current environmental and public service conditions. See Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002. Analysis: Several analyses have been undertaken including land use and population review, levels of service (roads, surface water, police, etc.), and preliminary cost and revenue estimates. (Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11,2003; Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Land Use Analysis Compilation, March 5, 2003.) . December 2003 2 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . Draft Plan: The March 2003 Draft P AA Subarea Plan contained draft policies and plans, and was the basis for a fiscal analysis. Final Plan: Based on public input and the fiscal review of the Draft Plan, the Final Subarea Plan has been prepared. It is coordinated with the P AA Annexation Feasibility Study including strategic alternatives such as annexation area phasing and service provision phasing. Adopted Plan: As part ofthe City's public hearing process, the Federal Way Planning Commission will review and make a recommendation to the Federal Way City Council Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) regarding the adoption of the Subarea Plan. The LUTC will review the Subarea Plan and the Planning Commission recommendation and issue a recommendation to the Federal Way City Council regarding the adoption of the Subarea Plan. The City Council will review the Subarea Plan and the Planning Commission and LUTC recommendations in its consideration of adopting the Subarea Plan. . . As the P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study have progressed to date, key concepts have been elicited about the P AA: . The City of Federal Way recognizes annexation as a citizen-based process. The Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study are intended to provide for advanced planning of the PAA allowing both citizens and the City to make infonned choices about their future. . The PAA is part of the larger Federal Way community, but is distinct in its own right. Given its proximity, inter-dependent transportation network, shared school district/utility districts/emergency service providers, and the City's subregional economic role, the PAA is inter-related with the City of Federal Way. However, the PAA has its own unique characteristics- residential neighborhood variety, natural features including headwaters to several significant streams, a road system functioning with rural standards in an urbanizing area, some economic nodes such as in Redondo, and many other distinct features. 1.5 Public Input Process Key to the development of the PAA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study has been and will be public participation. Public participation methods for the P AA Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study have included: . Articles for inclusion in City and Utility District newsletters, and City and County website pages sites (www.cityoffederalway.com; www.metrokc.gov, respectively), as well as a link from the Federal Way School District web site page to City and County website. December 2003 3 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . Creation of a P AA Study webpage on the City's website that provides an opportunity for residents, property owners, and business owners to view draft and final work products, provide comments and suggestions, as well as other features. Coordination of draft work products with neighboring jurisdictions and affected agencies. City facilitation of public neighborhood meetings with the North Lake, Lake Kilamey, and Lake Geneva Homeowner's Associations to explain the purposes of the P AA Study and its scope of work. City-issued press releases announcing the publication of draft work products and the hosting of public meetings. The maintenance of a comprehensive stakeholder list that is used for mailing public meeting announcements and the announcement of the issuance of recently issued draft work products. . . . . . The mailing ofthe City's quarterly newsletter to each P AA household. Each newsletter provides an update regarding the status of the P AA study and the announcement of recently issued draft work products. Announcement ofthe publication of draft work products and hosting of public meetings on the City's public access television station. P AA Steering Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council regular meetings open to the public. To date, Steering Committee Meetings have been held in December 2001, January and February 2002, and January and April 2003, and more are planned. Planning Commission and City Council meetings are forthcoming. Public open houses where residents, property owners, and business owners can review information of interest relevant to their neighborhood, and talk individually with officials and staff To date public open houses have been held in February 2002, and January and September 2003. Meetings were held at local public schools in the PAA and at the City of Federal Way City Hall. At the meetings, the public could review the P AA inventory, land use concepts, levels of service and fiscal analyses as well as provide comments and as~ questions. Later in the process, public hearings before the Planning Commission and/or City Council to present formal testimony, including written comments in advance of the public hearings. . . . . A Steering Committee was formed to act as a "sounding board" reviewing products of the Subarea Plan and Annexation Feasibility Study, and assessing the direction of the project, particularly the Subarea Plan. The PAA Steering Committee consists of officials from the Federal Way City Council, Planning Commission, School District, Chamber of Commerce, King County, Lakehaven Utility District, and P AA Resident representatives. December 2003 4 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan A Staff Work Group comprised of City staff from multiple departments, a County staff representative, Utility District representatives, and Fire District staff provided technical review of P AA Subarea Plan products and furnished data and information to the Subarea Plan preparation team. 2 POLICY BACKGROUND 2.1 Statewide Planning Goals The GMA contains 13 statewide planning goals addressing: . Urban growth . Natural resource industries . Reduce sprawl . Open space and recreation . Transportation . Environment . Housing . Citizen participation and . Economic development coordination . Public facilities and services . Property rights . Historic preservation . Permits While all have been considered in the Subarea Planning process, three in particular are most relevant to P AA planning efforts: . Urban growth - Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist, or can be provided in an efficient manner. Reduce sprawl- Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. Public facilities and services - Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use, without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. In terms of urban growth and reduction of sprawl, the P AA contains primarily single-family development, with a few commercial nodes along major arterial roadways, where services are or can be extended, identified as neighborhood or community centers. The land use/zoning pattern based on the Pre-Annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations would result in urban densities of about 4 units per net acre or greater, meeting GMA goals for urban level growth. Select areas have Pre-Annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations to accommodate approximately 1 residential unit per acre on the periphery of the . . December 2003 5 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan P AA, due to sensitive areas and infrastructure limitations. The ability of the City and Special Districts to provide public facilities and services to the P AA is another key topic of this Subarea Plan. The principles contained in the Subarea Plan are to meet community service and infrastructure needs concurrent with growth, to conduct additional capital planning in areas where data gaps have been found (e.g. surface water), and to provide public services in a cost-efficient manner recognizing the historic level of service differences between the City and the County. 2.2 Countywide Planning Policies In King County, the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPP's) that were enacted pursuant to the GMA also provide guidance with regard to multi-jurisdictional joint planning, annexation, and the phasing of urban development. The most applicable policies are: LU28 LU29 LU30 Within the Urban Growth Area, growth should be directed as follows: a) first, to centers and urbanized areas with existing infrastructure capacity; b) second, to areas which are already urbanized such that infrastructure improvements can be easily extended; and c) last, to areas requiring major infrastructure improvements. All jurisdictions shall develop growth phasing plans consistent with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an urban area served with adequate public facilities and services to maintain an urban area to meet at least the six year intermediate household and employment target ranges consistent with LU67 and LU68. These growth phasing plans shall be based on locally adopted definitions, service levels, and financing commitments, consistent with State GMA requirements. The phasing for cities shall not extend beyond their Potential Annexation Areas. Interlocal agreements shall be developed that specify the applicable minimum zoning, development standards, impact mitigation, and future annexation for the Potential Annexation Areas. Where urban services cannot be provided within the next 10 years, jurisdictions should develop policies and regulations to: a. Phase and limit development such that planning, siting, densities, and infrastructure decisions will support future urban development when urban services become available. b. Establish a process for converting land to urban densities and uses once services are available. December 2003 6 FW13 LV31 LV32 LV33 LV34 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan Cities are the appropriate provider of local urban services to urban areas, either directly or by contract. Counties are the appropriate provider of most countywide services. Urban services shall not be extended through the use of special purpose districts without the approval of the city in whose potential annexation area the extension is proposed. Within the urban area, as time and conditions warrant, cities should assume local urban services provided by special purpose districts. In collaboration with adjacent counties, cities, and King County, and in consultation with residential groups in affected areas, each city shall designate a potential annexation area. Each potential annexation area shall be specific to each city. Potential annexation areas shall not overlap. Within the potential annexation area, the city shall adopt criteria for annexation, including conformance with Countywide Planning Policies, and a schedule for providing urban services and facilities within the potential annexation area. This process shall ensure that unincorporated urban islands of King County are not created between cities and strive to eliminate existing islands between cities. A city may annex territory only within its designated potential annexation area. All cities shall phase annexations to coincide with the ability for the city to coordinate the provision of a full range of urban services to areas to be annexed. Land within a city's potential annexation area shall be developed according to that city's and King County's growth phasing plans. Undeveloped lands adjacent to that city should be annexed at the time development is proposed to receive a full range of urban services. Subsequent to establishing a potential annexation area, in-fill lands within the potential annexation area that are not adjacent, or not practical to annex, shall be developed pursuant to interlocal agreements between the County and the affected city. The interlocal agreement shall establish the type of development allowed in the potential annexation area and standards for that development so that the area is developed in a manner consistent with its future annexation potential. The interlocal agreement shall specify, at a minimum, the applicable zoning, development standards, impact mitigation, and future annexation within the potential annexation area. Several unincorporated areas are currently considering local governance options. Unincorporated urban areas that are already urbanized and are within a city's potential annexation area are encouraged to annex to that city in order to receive urban services. Where annexation is inappropriate, incorporation may be considered. The CWPP's are particularly reflected in Subarea Plan sections 12 and 15, Public Services and Capital Facilities, and Annexation. December 2003 7 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 2.3 City Planning Goals or Policies The Land Use Element of a Comprehensive Plan plays a central role in guiding and directing all other Elements by indicating the desired land use pattern that consequently drives the demand for infrastructure and services. The key City Planning Goals are based then on the City's Land Use Concept in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (see Federal Way Land Use Element, Map II-2). In summary, the City of Federal Way land use concept is based upon creating land use patterns that support multiple modes of transportation, with attention to neighborhood enhancements and protection, and community amenities and needs (design quality; parks; etc.) to ensure compatible land uses. These concepts include the transformation of the City's retail core into a dense, mixed use City Center, preservation of residential neighborhoods, a hierarchy of mixed-use retail and employment nodes to serve the community, and development that recognizes environmentally sensitive areas. The PAA, as part of the larger Federal Way community, is reviewed in this Land Use Concept framework while also reviewed with respect to unique P AA circumstances. 2.4 Consistency of Subarea Plan with Key State, Countywide, and Local Planning Goals This Subarea Plan has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Washington State GMA, the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan to ensure coordinated planning. In summary, the Subarea Plan is consistent with the following State, Regional, and City "indicator" policies: . Growth Management Act: The Subarea Plan applies urban densities to accommodate growth, avoid sprawl, and provide services efficiently within the Urban Growth Area. As described in Section 6, the predominant land classification would support urban level densities except in areas with significant environmental or infrastructure limitations. Public service capital and operational needs and improvements are identified to support the P AA land use plans. . Countywide Planning Policies: The land capacity of the P AA would accommodate the P AA housing target of 1,320 units and employment target of 134 between 2001 and 2022, described further under Section 6.2. Public service capital and operational needs and improvements are identified to support the P AA land use plans. The phasing of services and annexation areas is encouraged in Subarea Plan policies. . City Policies: Subarea Plan designations and policies support the Comprehensive Plan such as the hierarchy of Commercial Centers by providing for local-serving commercial and mixed-use nodes, and by supporting the predominant residential character of the PAA. December 2003 8 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 3 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA 3.1 Federal Way P AA Boundary Federal Way Adoption of P AA Boundary Process The City of Federal Way formally began the process of evaluating its logical service delivery areas and the boundaries of its P AA with the publication of a July 1991 issue paper. This paper examined the requirements ofGMA as they relate to UGA's, and included a discussion of how urban services were being provided. The paper also described special purpose district boundaries, the transportation system, parks and recreation facilities, and physical features that potentially affect urban service delivery. The analysis that was included in the 1991 issue paper provided the basis for a proposed P AA area for the City. Staff presented the issue paper and proposed Urban Growth Boundary to the Federal Way Planning Commission. The Commission reviewed the proposal and held a public hearing. Most of the testimony received by the Commission was supportive of the proposed urban growth boundary. The Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed PAA boundary. The City Council accepted the recommendation, but did not adopt it. Rather, the Council directed staffto begin negotiations with the neighboring cities of Auburn, Milton, Algona, Pacific, Des Moines, and Kent, all of whom had developed urban growth boundaries that overlapped with Federal Way's proposal. The City negotiated with each of its municipal neighbors for the better part of a year. By the Fall of 1993, staff presented a revised PAA boundary to the City Council. The Council reviewed the proposal and adopted the P AA boundary on December 21, 1993. That boundary was amended in 1994. The City executed interlocal agreements with all of the neighboring cities based on the boundary shown on MapI. Neighborhood Analysis levels For purposes of data collection efficiencies and resources, the P AA has been divided into three Major Subareas as well as seven smaller Community Level Subareas. The Major and Community Level Subareas are as follows (see Map II): . The Redondo East Community Level Subarea is in the Redondo East Major Subarea (both with identical boundaries), west ofI-5 and is approximately 43 acres in size. . Star Lake, Camelot, and North Lake Community Level Subareas comprise the Northeast Major Subarea, east ofI-5 and north ofSR-18, and total approximately 2,527 acres in size. December 2003 9 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan . Lakeland, Parkway, and Jovita Community Level Subareas comprise the Southeast Major Subarea, east ofI-5 and south ofSR-18, and total approximately 2,470 acres in size. The Community Level Subarea Boundaries are shown on Map II. The subarea boundaries are based upon City-defined Transportation Analysis Zones which align with Census Tract geography, neighborhood affinities as expressed in prior County planning efforts, and the ability of the County to provide information within existing resources, as well as input from the P AA Steering Committee in December 2001. 3.2 Accomplishments since 1991 Issue Paper The following has been accomplished since completion of the 1991 Issue Paper: . Used technical information from neighboring jurisdictions and information from affected citizens to identify and establish a P AA boundary for the City of Federal Way. Established an interlocal agreement on mutually agreeable P AA boundaries with the following South King County Cities: Des Moines, Kent, Auburn, Algona, Pacific, and Milton. Completed a preliminary analysis of the P AA that identified potential issues associated with annexation and a scope of work for a more comprehensive study of the PAA. Initiated a comprehensive study of the PAA in conjunction with King County. . . . The comprehensive study of the P AA includes several phases as described above: inventory, analysis, draft and final plan formulation, etc. The Federal Way PAA Inventory (March 18, 2002) addresses a range of environmental, economic, and social conditions within the Federal Way PAA. The Inventory is primarily a compilation of readily available data from King County, Special Districts, and the City of Federal Way, and was supplemented with some limited field review. The purpose of the Inventory was to serve as a basis for additional planning and analysis of the PAA including levels of services, current and future fiscal conditions, and subarea planning. The P AA Inventory was followed by a series of reports about levels of service (LOS) in the P AA (Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003). The LOS reports address a wide range of governmental services including community development, human services, parks/recreation, police services, roads, surface water, solid waste, water and wastewater. However, the LOS reports focus upon surface water and transportation in more detail due to the complexity and importance of these services to the community and the City. Also completed was a series ofland use classification and policy December 2003 10 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan analyses analyzing current and proposed land use patterns and policy issues. These recent P AA inventories and analyses are summarized and integr ted as appropriate into this Subarea Plan. Additional phases addressing costs and revenues and annexation strategies in the Annexation Feasibility Study, December 2003, have also been integrated with this P AA Subarea Plan. 4 Feasibility Analysis 4.1 Annexation Feasibility Analysis Purpose An Annexation Feasibility Study (December 2003) has been prepared t estimate the long-term fiscal impact annexation would have on the City of Fede al Way. This section provides information on the basic assumptions and metho ology of the analysis. The results ofthe Feasibility Analysis are reviewed in th appropriate topical section of this PAA Subarea Plan (e.g. transportati n, surface water, parks and recreation), but are summarized in total in Section 12. As a baseline assessment, the Feasibility Study looks at the net fiscal g p the new, expanded City of Federal Way would face if the City were to annex an of the identified P AAs while trying to maintain current levels of services and current levels of taxation and fees. To account for the differences between the fiscal impacts associated w'th the day- to-day operation of the City and the impacts associated with needed ca ital investments, the Feasibility Study takes a three-pronged approach to as essing impacts: 1. Estimate the incremental operating costs introduced by annexa ion of the P AAs on an annual basis, and compare those costs to the incre ental revenues the City would receive from the same areas. 2. Discuss how the balance of operating costs and revenues woul to change in future years. 3. Estimate the additional capital investments that the City would take on with annexation and compare those costs to the additional capi al revenues the City could expect to receive from the P AAs. To provide the most intuitive and up-to-date information about estima d impacts, this analysis provides a snapshot of what the operating impacts would e if the City were in the position of fully governing each PAA in 2003. The as essment of operating impacts is based on 2003 costs of service and 2003 tax and e structures, as outlined in the City of Federal Way 200312004 Adopted udget, and is intended to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state 0 eration. In essence, these estimated steady-state operating impacts reflect the ong ing "costs" December 2003 11 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan that the City would face each year, beginning perhaps, in the third year after annexation and extending into perpetuity.t Estimated costs of capital improvements are based on the most recent available data (2002) and reflect estimates of the combined investments that will be necessary through the planning horizon of2020 (all presented in 2002 dollars). There is no material effect on this fiscal analysis from using 2003 operating costs impacts and 2002 capital costs, primarily because the capital improvement costs are expressed in current (2002) dollars regardless of when the projects may be built in the next 20 years. The purpose of estimating the hypothetical gap that would be created if the City were to try to extend current service levels to the P AAs without increasing taxes is to present decision makers and the public with a picture ofthe true "cost" of annexation. Ultimately, any such gap between costs and revenues is hypothetical. Cities have no choice but to cover their costs of operation. Consequently, if Federal Way were to annex any of the P AAs, any estimated "cost" associated with annexation would have to be made up through some combination of(1) stretching City resources through decreased levels of service and/or (2) increasing City revenues. The Feasibility Study Implementation Strategies are integrated into the Subarea Plan Section 12, and examine a variety of options to improve the financial feasibility of future annexations. The Feasibility Study provides fiscal analysis and annexation strategies that are integrated into the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan, particularly in tenus of: . Identifying public services and capital improvements that would need to be in place to serve the Subarea Plan current and future land use pattern over time, and Incorporating into Subarea Plan policies the strategies regarding agency coordination, funding sources, future land use amendments, levels of service, and others, that could improve the financial feasibility of annexations in the PAA. . I In the initial years of annexation costs could be either higher or lower than the estimated steady- state impacts, depending on how the City chose to manage annexation. Among the detenninants of transition-period costs will be the direct and indirect costs of managing the transition and the pace at which the City chooses to ramp up certain, discretionary service levels in the annexed area. December 2003 12 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 4.2 Study Area Population Population data for the Annexation Feasibility Study covers several time periods. The data is consistent among time periods, but different periods are used in order to produce the most accurate forecast of operating and capital costs and revenues. Baseline data was developed from the last US Census and other sources that used the US Census. This enabled the study to start from a reliable base of data for the year 2000. The Operating Cost/Revenue analysis is a snapshot in time based on the City's 2003 budget and rates, with some trend analysis. As a result, population forecasts for 2003 were prepared for use in the analysis of operations. The Capital Cost/Revenue analysis covers the period 2002 through 2020 in order to provide a long-range forecast similar to other long-range planning strategies for capital. The data to support the capital improvements analysis is based on the City's PAA market population and employment forecast from 2000 to 2020. Table I shows the population and housing units for each Major Subarea and the total P AA for the years 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2020. The area included in this fiscal analysis comprises a substantial population equal to approximately 25 percent of the 2002 population of the current City of Federal Way (83,850, 2002). Table 1.

Examples include per capita analysis or estimates that are based on the experiences of a handful of so-called "comparable" cities. The City of Federal Way desired an analysis with a high degree of reliability; therefore the Study Approach to evaluating the fiscal impacts of annexation is based on a more detailed analysis ofthe fundamental characteristics ofthe three Major P AA Subareas and comparisons ofthose characteristics with the defining characteristics ofthe existing City of Federal Way. The Feasibility Study analysis looks at the fundamental drivers of demand for City services within the existing boundaries of Federal Way, and based on a comparison of similar drivers in the three P AAs, estimates the additional demand for each service that would be introduced by annexation of each area. In the case of law enforcement, for example, a typical assessment of service costs might be based on figures like average-cost-per-resident or the cost associated with extending police services in a manner that would maintain the City's current count of officers-per-thousand-residents. While each of these measures is attractive due to their ease of use, neither measure does a particularly good job of capturing the true demand for police services. To account for the unique characteristics of the PAA Major Subareas (and to account for the many differences between the P AAs and the existing City of Federal Way) the Feasibility Study estimates ofthe demand drivers for police services take into account, first, differences in the level of commercial activity among each of the areas, and second, the different characteristics of each area's residential base. Among households in each of the P AAs, the Study estimate of police demand distinguishes between the typical demand characteristics associated with five different combinations of housing type and tenure: (1) owner-occupied single- family homes; (2) renter-occupied single-family; (3) owner-occupied multifamily; (4) renter-occupied multifamily; and (5) mobile homes. The estimates ofthe relative contribution of each of these segments of the residential base to police demand is based on a series of statistical analyses of more than 100 cities across Washington State. Other examples of drivers used in this study include: land area (solid waste and surface water services), signals/street lights/road miles/population (traffic and road maintenance services) as well as several others. Feasibility Study Assumptions The Feasibility Study analysis is based on five assumptions: December 2003 14 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan . Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast P AAs would receive levels of service similar to those now provided by the City of Federal Way. The current level of service, staffing and expenditures in Federal Way is the benchmark for forecasting comparable levels of service, staffing and costs in the P AA. Cities that have undertaken annexations in the past have found that there is a surge in demand for services after annexation. The Study methodology of "drivers" and "outputs" produces a more accurate forecast than a simple population-driven forecast, but it may not fully capture the increment of increased demand during the first few months after annexation. The fiscal analysis includes cost and revenue estimates only for those taxes or services that would change upon annexation. The local services that would not change include water and sewer, fireÆMS, schools, regional transit, health services, and regional parks. In other words, after annexation existing school and fire district boundaries will remain as they are, and regional transit, health and regional parks will continue to be provided by King County. The Feasibility Study projections of revenues and costs for determining fiscal analysis are conservative. This means that when a forecast includes judgment as well as data, the Study selected lower alternatives for revenues and higher alternatives for costs. . . . . Again Feasibility Study results are integrated throughout the Subarea Plan by relevant topic, but are fully summarized in Section 12. 5 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Environmentally sensitive areas in the P AA include wetlands, streams and lakes, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, aquifer recharge areas, frequently flooded areas, and geologic hazard areas. The March 18, 2002, P AA Inventory Report provides a detailed inventory and description of these critical areas. Many of these areas have already been identified, delineated, mapped, and classified. In addition, the Inventory Report details the implications of Federal, State, and local policies regarding environmentally sensitive areas pending any potential future annexation. 5.1 Summary of Inventory The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), Washington State Priority Habitat and Species Program (PHS), and the State Growth Management Act (GMA) provide levels of protection for endangered, threatened, or sensitive species and habitats, and hazard protection. Please refer to Maps III and IV for locations of sensitive and hazard areas within the P AA. A brief description of the results from December 2003 15 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan research on the environment is provided below. Wetlands There are approximately 440 acres of wetlands in the PAA, with the largest acreage of wetlands found in the Northeast Subarea. Within the smaller individual Community Subareas, Lakeland has the largest acreage of wetlands. See Map III. Both the County and City have regulations protecting wetlands with buffers and other requirements varying by wetland class. Streams A distinctive characteristic of the P AA is that most of the area is a headwater to several major streams (Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek). Most of the streams in the Federal Way PAA are classified by the County as Class 2 with salmonids requiring a 100 foot buffer. If using the City of Federal Way classification system, most streams would be considered Major Streams, also requiring a 1 DO-foot buffer. Lakes Lakes in the P AA include Star, Dollof, North, Killamey, Geneva, and Five Mile lakes. The City of Federal Way Code has defined specific wetlands within the City as the Regulated Lakes. i.e. those located in the City and contained in King County Wetlands Inventory Notebook Volume 3, South. Upon annexation of areas containing lakes, the City would designate specific lakes within the P AA as Regulated Lakes. The setback requirement for Regulated Lakes is 25-feet landward in every direction from the ordinary high water mark of the lake. Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Based on the State Priority Species and Habitat Mapping Program, within the P AA there are three anadromous running streams. These include the headwaters of West Hylebos creek, the south draining stream from Lake Dolloff and East Hylebos Creek south of Lake Kilamey. King County has also identified downstream and west ofI-5 in the City limits that Hylebos Creek has a "Chinook distribution 500 foot buffer." The City definition of fish and wildlife areas is found in the Federal Way City Code (FWCC 18-28 and 22-1). The Federal Endangered Species Act listings of two fish, Chinook and bulltrout, as threatened are resulting in reassessments of County and City policies and permitting procedures. Interim ESA approaches in the King County permit process include use of existing regulatory tools with greater emphasis on application and enforcement as well as the adoption of more stringent Comprehensive Plan policies. The City of Federal Way requires all project applicants to fill out an "ESA Listed Salmonids Checklist," primarily using the SEP A process to determine mitigation required beyond code requirements. December 2003 16 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan Aquifer Recharge Areas King County has mapped low, medium, and high potential groundwater contamination areas in the P AA and has adopted numerous regulations addressing critical aquifer rècharge areas. These regulations address on-site sewage disposal systems, clearing restrictions, and through some overlay districts restrict certain land uses. The County is also in the process of preparing a Groundwater Management Program, which is slated to produce a Groundwater Management Plan for South King County, including Federal Way and its PAA. It is expected that this plan will include a work program to guide future actions and will establish a groundwater protection committee to guide its implementation. The Lakehaven Utility District's main source of water is from four aquifer systems that underlie the City: the Redondo-Milton Channel Aquifer, the Mirror Lake Aquifer, the Federal Way Deep Aquifer, and the Eastern Upland Aquifer. The locations of wells in relationship to the aquifer systems are shown on Map III. Aquifer recharge areas are located in areas where permeable soil and rock materials are relatively close to the land surface and where there is an excess of water from precipitation. The Lakehaven Utility District notes that the precise extent of the aquifer recharge areas is uncertain. Highline Water District services a small part of the P AA in the Star Lake area. Until 1962, all water came from the Highline District's wells. Today, about 90 percent of the water supply of the District is purchased from Seattle Public Utilities. The District supplements its Seattle water source with local wells. The wells, which draw from an intermediate aquifer approximately 400 feet underground, were designed to furnish approximately 15 percent of the total volume of water supplied by the District. The District has wells located in Des Moines and also near Angle Lake outside ofthe PAA and Federal Way. As defined in the City of Federal Way, Sensitive Area Ordinance, siting criteria for wells must comply with State law. Futhermore, any improvement or use on a subject property is subject to State requirements regarding separation of wells from sources of pollution. Frequently Flooded Areas There are no Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-recognized frequently flooded areas in the City of Federal Way. There is a 100-year floodplain located around Lake Dolloff in the P AA (See Map III). King County regulations require that development activities including fill may not cause the base flood elevation to rise. Federal Way has similar floodplain regulations in its Surface and Stormwater Management Code, Chapter 21 ofthe Federal Way City Code. Geologic Hazard Areas There are small portions ofthe Parkway, Jovita, and North Lake Subareas, which December 2003 17 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan have Landslide Hazard Areas and Erosion Hazard Areas, mostly located near streams or steep slope areas. There are also small portions of the Camelot and Lakeland Subareas that have erosion hazard areas. The Star Lake Subarea has a significant proportion of both Landslide Hazard and Erosion Hazard areas along its eastern border. Please refer to Map Iv. 5.2 Environmental Goals and Policies The following environmental goal and policies are provided to address P AA environmental conditions. Environmental Goal Practice environmental stewardship by protecting, enhancing and promoting the natural environment in and around the P AA. Environmental Policies P AA Env - 1 Prior to and upon annexation, the County and City in partnership shall promote the protection of P AA wetland and lake complexes, as much of the area is a headwater to significant fish-bearing streams, including Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek. P AA Env - 2 The County shall, prior to annexation, manage the 10O-year floodplain of Lake Dolloff in accordance with Federal, State, and County laws and guidelines. Regulations to prevent reductions in base flood storage volumes should continue to be implemented. Upon annexation, the City shall continue the policy and practice of floodplain management. P AA Env - 3 Prior to and upon annexation, the County and City in partnership should encourage the establishment of an active lake management system to monitor and manage lake water quality. This management system should actively involve property owners, homeowner's associations, lake management districts, and agency stormwater utilities within the P AA. P AA Env - 4 Prior to the annexation oflarge areas, updated surface water basin management plans should be prepared by the County in conjunction with the City for the P AA basins and sub-basins, particularly east ofI-5. Basins and sub-basins should be prioritized for study and coordinated with all appropriate State and local agencies. The topology, soils, drainage, flow and channel monitoring, vegetation, habitat identification, utilities, RID maintenance, and mitigation policies should be uniquely identified and defined for each basin/sub- basin. P AA Env-5 In preparation of applying City Environmentally Sensitive Area regulations in the future, the City and County should inventory and map steep slope areas in the P AA. December 2003 18 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan P AA Env-6 Prior to and upon annexation, the City should coordinate with the King County Solid Waste Division regarding the environmental monitoring ofthe closed Puyallup/Kit Comer Landfill. P AA Env - 7 The City shall coordinate with King County through interlocal agreements or other means to institute common environmental protection standards while the area is in transition from County to City jurisdiction. Standards would include, but are not limited to, wetland buffers and mitigation standards, stream buffers, geologically hazardous area disturbance avoidance and buffers, and others as appropriate. 6 LAND USE 6.1 Existing Land Uses With the exception of the Redondo East neighborhood, which lies along Pacific Highway South and contains a higher percent of land devoted to multifamily or commercial uses, the Federal Way PAA contains primarily single family residential land uses as shown in Figure 5, and in Table 2. Of any neighborhood, the Parkway neighborhood has the most acres in multiple family uses although still primarily containing single family uses. Table 2.

Multi family includes triplex, fourplex, apartments, condominiums and group homes. No Data is used for parcels where King County parcel infonnation was unavailable. Easements include transportation and utility. Not all right of way (ROW) is developed. Source: King County Department of Assessments 2001 and City of Federal Way GIS Division, 2002 While the predominant land use in the P AA neighborhoods is residential, there are several businesses including the following types: . Redondo - Convenience stores, taverns, fast food, auto service and repair, personal services, offices, manufacturing, vehicle storage, and others Star Lake - Tavern, nursery Camelot - Gas stations, offices . . . North Lake - Nursery, gas station Lakeland - Convenience store, espresso, auto repair, day care center . . Parkway - Auto salvage and towing. PAA Generally- Numerous home occupations (for example, home day care operations, individual construction contractors, home-based professional services, and others). . During the years 2000 and 2001, King County processed a variety ofland use and building permits, including preliminary plats containing approximately 576 lots, as well as multifamily developments totaling about 605 units. The majority of the preliminary plat lots were located in the Star Lake and Lakeland Neighborhoods, and the majority of the multi-family units permitted were located in the North Lake and Star Lake Neighborhoods. Residential development has continued since the compilation of County data in 2000 and 2001. Essential Public Facilities RCW 36.70A.200 states that essential public facilities are "those facilities that are typically difficult to site, such as: . Airports, . State education facilities State or regional transportation facilities as defined in RCW 47.06.140, . . State and local correctional facilities, Solid waste handling facilities, . December 2003 20 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . In-patient facilities including substance facilities, mental health facilities, group homes, and Secure community transition facilities as defined in RCW 71.09.020." . Essential public facilities can be government owned and operated facilities, or privately owned facilities that are regulated by public entities. This definition is not considered to be all-inclusive, but provides examples of facilities that are difficult to site. No local comprehensive plan or development regulation may preclude the siting of essential public facilities. The P AA contains several essential public facilities including highways of statewide significance such as 1-5 and SR-18, a WSDOT maintenance facility, the closed & monitored Puyallup/Kit Comer Landfill (see section 12.1, Solid Waste), group homes, and potentially others that remain to be identified beyond present inventory efforts. Under County or City plans and rules, essential public facilities are required to undergo a review process for siting them. Cultural Resources The King County Historic Preservation Program has identified historic properties included in the King County Historic Resource Inventory. The only designated or potentially eligible historic landmarks are in the Lakeland neighborhood of the Southeast Subarea (see Map VI). The Sutherland Grocery and Gas Station, built in the 1930's, was designated a King County Landmark in 2002. The two other potentially eligible historic sites are the Westborg House, a farmhouse built in 1905 by M. Westborg on property originally part of a 160-acre homestead owned by James Duncan, and the Fancher House, a home and barn built in 1923. The King County Historic Preservation Program recommends an inventory update to identify any additional historic properties in the P AA area as well as the City limits since the last inventory was conducted 15 years ago. Additionally, the County recommends an interlocal agreement for preservation services to provide a mechanism and incentives for protecting significant historic properties within the current and future annexed city boundaries. 6.2 land Use Plan The predominant character of the PAA consists of single-family residential with several nodes of commercial and multifamily uses, principally along arterial roadways. The King County land use plans governing the P AA have generally recognized this character. For the Federal Way PM Subarea Plan, the base or starting point for developing a comprehensive land use plan was first to match the most similar City classification to the current County classification. Although the basis of the PM Subarea Plan is the King County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the City conducted a detailed review of existing land uses and future land use/zoning classifications to determine if adjustments to the basic land December 2003 21 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan classification system were warranted in certain locations of the PAA. Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis produced a series of maps to help identify: . Nonconforming Uses: Existing uses that either under the King County classification/zoning system or the City potential classification/zoning system may be considered nonconforming - i.e. legally established land uses that do not conform to existing zoning regulations. . Mobile Home Parks and Units: Mobile home parks and single manufactured homes that mayor may not meet Federal Way manufactured home park design standards. . Parcel Size and Minimum Lot Size Requirements: Parcels smaller than the minimum lot size associated with potential zoning categories. Additionally, other issues and locations were reviewed, including: . King County R -1 Zoning areas were reviewed to determine if environmental characteristics warrant Federal Way equivalent zoning (RS- 35.0) to King County's R-1 (one residential dwelling per acre) zoning. Potential Incompatibilities: The P AA Subarea Planning team reviewed sites where there could be a potential for incompatibility with City policies/codes, or other concerns. . The result of the land use and zoning analysis is a Land Use Plan that: . Recognizes and supports the predominant single-family suburban character of the P AA. . Recognizes the need for neighborhood or community level business goods and services at key nodes in the P AA such as at the intersection of arterials. Creates a consistent, compatible long-term land use pattern recognizing the predominant and unique character of P AA neighborhoods. . Land Use Capacity Analysis The Federal Way PAA has an estimated Year 2003 population of21,460 with most ofthe population residing in the Northeast Subarea. The GMA and Countywide Planning Policies for King County require that King County and its cities accommodate their fair share of the future growth projected for King County. The PAA has been found to contain a large supply of vacant and underdeveloped land, with the capacity to accommodate significant future development (approximately 3,717 dwelling units as described further below). Future development "targets", expressed in the number of housing units, are determined through an interactive, multi-jurisdictional process between King County and cities located within, considering land capacity, market factors, and other parameters. Through this ongoing regional process, the P AA growth target for the years 2001 to 2022 is established at 1,320 units. The employment target is established at 134 jobs. The P AA land capacity yield can be compared with the December 2003 22 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan growth targets to help determine the ability of the land use plan to meet growth management obligations. As part of a countywide effort to prepare an analysis of buildable lands pursuant to GMA requirements, the County has estimated the capacity of vacant and underdeveloped (land not developed to full potential) lands in the P AA. Consistent with regionally established methods that are tailored to reflect King County conditions, the total vacant and underdeveloped acres were discounted for critical areas such as wetlands, streams, and steep slopes, rights-of-way and public purpose lands, and market factors (i.e. not all property owners would want to sell or develop). These acres were then multiplied by density factors based upon achieved densities in developed projects over the period 1995-2000. The results for the 20-year period of2001 to 2022 are a potential dwelling capacity of3,754 units and an employment capacity of 134 jobs calculated by King County. The City of Federal Way conducted a similar residential capacity analysis with results of3,717 dwelling units, very close to the County's analysis since similar land use classifications are assumed. It should be noted that a capacity analysis may make adjustments or discounts to the amount of available land, but does not estimate the time or rate that growth will occur, only the capacity of the land for additional development. The market demand for homes and places of employment will in part determine the timing and rate of growth within the 20-year planning period for the P AA. To help identify potential market demands, the City conducted a market analysis for the P AA with the Puget Sound Regional Council forecasts as a starting point. The outcome of the market analysis is a year 2000 to year 2020 projection of2,223 dwelling units and 115 jobs, which for dwellings exceeds the P AA housing targets, and for employment approaches the employment target, in a nearly similar time horizon. For the purposes of capital facility planning the market analysis figures are used to ensure that facility planning efforts do no overestimate facility demand, capital needs, and funding requirements. The market analysis population growth to 2020 and the City level of service standards have been the basis for the capital needs projections in this Subarea Plan. The County or City plans need to accommodate and direct growth in its comprehensive plan, development regulations, and resource allocation decisions, but the achievement of the Subarea Plan land use plan and other policy objectives will be driven in large part by the private sector, including individual property owner decisions. It is the County and City role to provide opportunities and capacity to meet regional fair share growth, monitor growth, and respond to changing needs and circumstances as they arise through regular review of comprehensive plans, development regulations, and budgets. Comprehensive Plan land Use; relationship to Pre- Annexation Zoning As part of implementing the P AA Subarea Plan, the City has the option of December 2003 23 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan adopting a pre-annexation comprehensive plan and zoning map designations (RCW 35.13.177), which would become effective upon annexation. Pre- annexation comprehensive plan classification and zoning map designations could provide more certainty to property owners and residents about the future character ofthe area should they annex to the City. As part of the Federal Way P AA Subarea Planning Process, a more specific P AA Pre-Annexation Zoning Map shown in Map VII-2 has been prepared to correspond to the proposed P AA Pre- Annexation Comprehensive Plan in Map VII-I. The process of adopting a pre-annexation land use plan and pre-annexation zoning would follow these steps in accordance with RCW 35.13: After a proposed comprehensive plan or zoning regulation is prepared, the legislative body ofthe city must hold at least two public hearings on it. These hearings must be held at least 30 days apart. Notice of each hearing must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the annexing city and in the area to be annexed. The notice must give the time and place of hearing. A copy of the ordinance or resolution adopting the proposed plan, any part of the proposed plan, or any amendment, together with any map referred to or adopted by the ordinance or resolution, must be filed with the county auditor and the city clerk. The ordinance, resolution, and map must be duly certified as a true copy by the clerk of the annexing city. The county auditor is to record the ordinance or resolution and keep the map on file. (Municipal Research & Services Center of Washington, Annexation Handbook, Revised December 2001 - Report No. 19) The adopting ordinance for the pre-annexation plan and zoning should specify the time interval following an annexation during which the ordinance adopting the pre-annexation plan and zoning, must remain in effect before it may be amended, supplemented or modified by subsequent ordinance or resolution adopted by the annexing city or town. Any amendment to the pre-annexation land use plan that is adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan is subject to the general GMA limitation that the comprehensive plan may be amended no more frequently than once a year, unless exceptions are met. (Municipal Research & Services Center of Washington, Annexation Handbook, Revised December 2001 - Report No. 19) The Steering Committee has held public meetings in preparing the Subarea Plan. Planning Commission and City Council public hearings are planned as part of the remainder of the Subarea Plan process to fulfill local City public participation requirements and the requirements to ultimately establish a Pre-Annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations. See Section 1.5. December 2003 24 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 6.3 Land Use Goals and Policies The P AA land use goal and policies are provided in this section, and address land use character and land use planning in the P AA. Land Use Goal Respect the character, integrity, and unique qualities ofPAA neighborhoods in land use planning efforts. Land Use Policies General Policies PAA LV -1 Proposed annexations should be implemented to be consistent with the pre-annexation land use plans and zoning ofthe Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan. (See Policy P AA Annex-4.) P AA LV - 2 City and County plans and regulations shall emphasize single- family detached dwellings as the primary use in the P AA's established single- family neighborhoods. PAA LV - 3 The City and County PAA commercial and multi-family land use patterns and regulations should meet community needs, respect the hierarchy of districts and centers in the Federal Way planning area, and support the Federal Way City Center. PAA LV - 4 The City and County PAA land use plan should provide sufficient zoned capacity, and a variety of housing types, to address total household growth targets for the P AA. P AA LV - 5 Areas with significant environmental hazards, unique or fragile ecosystems of high rank:, order, and function, or long-term infrastructure limitations, may be further protected beyond the application of development regulations through Federal Way RS-35.0 zoning in the Star Lake, Jovita, and Parkway neighborhoods. P AA LV - 6 To promote financially self-supporting annexations, the City should support the County in facilitating or conducting coordinated master or sub- area planning of vacant, underdeveloped, or transitional land areas in the PAA that may present unique and/or highly visible sites for high tax generating land uses, such as but not limited to auto sales. Expedited or advanced environmental review, incentives to encourage assemblages ofland, and/or coordinated and comprehensive approaches to site development and environmental protection should be considered. Cultural Resources Policy PAALV-7 Prior to and upon annexation, the City and County should December 2003 25 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan coordinate with the King County Historic Preservation Program, the Cultural Development Authority of King County, and local historical societies (such as the Historic Society of Federal Way) to promote the preservation of historic resources in the P AA. PAA LU-8 The City and/or County should conduct a PAA historic inventory update prior to or upon annexation. P AA L U -9 The City should consider mechanisms to offer historic preservation services and incentives in the P AA upon the annexation of P AA properties into the City, including, but not limited to, an interlocal agreement with King County for resource evaluation and incentives. Economic Development Policies P AA L U - 10 Commercial locations, development standards, and permitted uses of City and County Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Regulations should reflect a hierarchy of business districts, recognizing the Federal Way City Center as the primary Citywide business center, and business districts in the P AA as secondary and tertiary nodes catering to local and/or neighborhood needs. PAA LV -11 The City and County should support neighborhood level business retention, improvement, and development on commercially zoned properties to the east ofI-5 to meet the needs oflocal residents. PAA LV -12 The City and County should promote the redevelopment and strengthening of viable commercial centers, such as in the Redondo East Community Subarea. P AA L U - 13 Commercial development should be encouraged on properties designated commercial on the PAA Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning maps to help meet the P AA employment target determined in the Countywide Planning Policies. Essential Public Facilities Policies The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element policies address essential public facilities. Additional policies are not proposed. 7 HOUSI NG 7.1 Summary of Inventory The Federal Way PAA has an estimated Year 2003 population of21,460 with the larger population residing in the Northeast Subarea. As of the Year 2000, a majority ofthe dwelling units are single-family (83 percent; 6,050 units) in the December 2003 26 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan P AA as a whole, and most dwellings are owner-occupied rather than rented except in Redondo East. Most of the single-family housing has typically been developed since 1960. However, there are pockets of older, well-maintained homes occupied by long- time area residents. The communities with the newest single-family housing stock include Redondo East, Star Lake, and Parkway. Few single-family homes are considered to be in poor condition and most are considered average in all neighborhoods. Neighborhoods with the highest percent of homes rated "good" by the King County Assessor include Camelot, Jovita, and Lakeland. There are about 1,200 multifamily units in the P AA (17 percent of total Year 2000 units). PAA multifamily complexes (excluding mobile home parks) are described by the King County Assessor as average or low quality in condition. The King County Countywide Planning Policies commit the City and the County to ensuring there is capacity in their Comprehensive Plans to meet their assigned targets, which for the P AA equals 1,320 additional housing units. There is sufficient vacant and underdeveloped land in the P AA to accommodate this target without significant zoning changes. It should be noted, however, that the timing and rate of this growth would occur based upon market forces. In addition to apportioning general housing growth targets, the Countywide Planning Policies indicate that jurisdictions should promote affordable housing to low and very low income households, at 20- 25 percent and 17 percent of the overall housing target respectively. In 1998, King County published a King County Market Rate Affordability Study. A review of the housing stock affordability was conducted for the City of Federal Way, and all of Unincorporated King County. The results show that Federal Way and Unincorporated King County as a whole provide substantial percentages of affordable housing, both ownership and rental, particularly in relation to other King County locations. Housing sales information for the P AA would tend to support the Countywide study. Considering principal and interest (7 percent assumed) costs, most single- family homes would be affordable to households of Low-Median income level (80 percent), and some are affordable to Moderate Income households (60 percent). Relative to each other, the Jovita and Camelot neighborhoods are the most affordable, and the Star Lake and Redondo East neighborhoods are the least affordable. See Table 3.

Housing Goal Promote the preservation and enhancement existing residential neighborhoods, and allow for new housing developments meeting future needs in the P AA. Housing Policy P AA House - 1 The City, in cooperation with King County, should promote the preservation of existing housing. Private investment should be encouraged in older residential neighborhoods, and multifamily complexes. Programs supporting weatherization, home repair and rehabilitation, and infrastructure maintenance should be supported. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Housing Element policies address housing stock protection, existing and future affordability, and special needs, and would also be applicable to the P AA. December 2003 28 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 8 PARKS AND RECREATION 8.1 Summary of Parks Planning Efforts and Inventory The City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services (PRCS) Department has prepared a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan, which was originally created in 1991 and updated in 1995 and 2000. The PRCS plan is currently being updated and, once completed, will be adopted by reference into the FWCP. The plan divides the City and PAA into subareas for purposes of long-range planning. The primary goal of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan is to assure that a park serves every neighborhood in Federal Way. Currently, the City is providing 10.1 acres of parks per 1,000 population in the current City limits. The City's goal is to provide a level of service of 10.9 acres per 1,000 in population within the City limits. The City's goal is to maintain this level of service standard as Federal Way grows in population and size. The City of Federal Way's existing parks and recreational areas are divided into six categories. Each category represents a distinct type of recreational activity or opportunity. Please note that this classification system is for the existing parks only. The categories are: Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks, Regional Parks, Special Use Areas, Trails, and Undeveloped Land/Open Space Areas. The total parkland in Federal Way equals 846.0 acres as of year 2002. The PAA is primarily served by five County park sites totaling 109.52 acres. See Table 4. All of the active park facilities are located in the Lakeland community subarea, while natural park and passive park areas are found in the Star Lake and Camelot community subareas. Completed in 2000, the South County Ballfie1ds Phase 2 is the only recent capital project completed in the P AA. Furthermore, King County Executive's Proposed 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program does not include plans for any new projects or improvements in the P AA. Table 4.

These include sites located in the Camelot, and North Lake community subareas. Private recreation facilities may also be required in residential subdivisions and developments of five units or more in accordance with King County development regulations and King County's determination of recreation facility needs. 8.2 Future Parks and Recreation Needs Currently, the P AA's existing amount of park acres does not meet the City's level of service standard for parks and recreation (see Table 5). Additionally with forecast growth additional demand for park services would occur. These existing and forecast park and recreation needs to meet City levels of service would require investment of capital and operating revenue sources to provide for park services. Table 6 identifies the capital costs of providing park services to meet existing and future parks & recreation needs for the major subareas of the P AA: Redondo, Northeast (Star Lake, Camelot, and North Lake) and Southeast (Lake land, Jovita, Parkland). A discussion of public service operating and capital costs and revenues, including Parks & Recreation, can be found in Section 12, Public Services and Capital Facilities. Table 5.

Second, the acres needed were compared to the number of acres of existing parks. Whenever the acres needed were more than the acres of existing parks, the difference is the number of acres to be acquired through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Third, the cost of acres to be acquired through the CIP was estimated using City estimates of costs per acre. The CIP project costs were calculated by multiplying the City's cost per acre (or mile, or square foot, as appropriate) times the number of acres (or miles or square feet) needed for each neighborhood. The portion of the park capital cost estimate that would be attributed to meeting the higher City parks level of service standard for the existing population (i.e. the cost ofthe existing "deficiency" -- providing Federal Way's level of service to the existing PAA population) is $25.6 million, and the cost of growth through the year 2020 is $7.1 million for a total cost of$32.7 million. The Northeast Subarea has low maintenance costs because it has little parkland now. The high capital cost in this CIP will bring the Northeast Subarea up to the City's standard, and that, in turn, will cause a significant increase in future operating costs. 8.3 Parks & Recreation Goals and Policies The following goal and policies address P AA parks and recreation needs. Parks Goal Maintain current facilities and acquire new lands to meet P AA community park and recreation needs. December 2003 33 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan Parks Policies P AA Park - 1 The City should continue to address the P AA in its comprehensive parks, recreation, and open space system plans. P AA Park - 2 The City should review County park maintenance and operation plans for each County park facility that may be transferred in the event of annexation. The City will assess available resources at the time of annexation and determine the appropriate level of maintenance for all acquired County facilities. P AA Park - 3 Additional parkland, open space, and trails should be acquired and developed according to the standards outlined in the City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan. Phasing in a gradually increasing level of service standard may be appropriate based on agency resources at the time of annexation. 9 SURFACE WATER 9.1 Summary of Inventory The P AA is almost entirely within the nearly level upland plateau which is immediately adjacent to steep slopes at the edge ofthe Green and White River valleys, and Puget Sound (in the case ofthe Redondo Subarea). As a result, historical stormwater systems within the P AA include a series of lake and wetland complexes that drain in steep ravines to the rivers and streams below. The most distinctive characteristic of the P AA is that most of the area is a headwater to several significant streams (Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek). Five drainage basins have been identified by King County mapping within the PAA. These designations also agree with the City of Federal Way designations: Lower Green River, Mill Creek, White River, Hylebos Creek, and Lower Puget Sound. See Map VIII. Surface Water Facilities Within the various drainage basins, the P AA contains a variety of surface water facilities that require inspection and maintenance by several County divisions and/or property owners as listed in Tables 7 through 9: December 2003 34 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan Table 7.

Surface Water Level of Service Analysis, July 11,2003. Regional and local surface water facilities are shown on Map VIII. Surface Water Problems One function of drainage system maintenance is to respond to complaints and problems in connection with drainage conditions. The data in the P AA Inventory report (March 18, 2002) indicated that most of the citizen complaints have come out of the Star Lake and Camelot neighborhoods in the Northeast subarea, two of the more populated neighborhoods. However, out of 160 complaints received in the past 5 years, only 8 remained open with the King County Roads Maintenance Division as of December 2002. The closed complaints were resolved in various ways: technical advice, determination that there was no identifiable problem, maintenance work, referral to other agencies, etc. Most complaints appeared to be resolved with routine responses. A few complaints required more study or action for resolution. No information was obtained about their disposition. It is likely that some of the more enduring problems overlap the drainage problems observed by King County Road Maintenance, discussed below. Discussion with King County Roads Maintenance Division 3 indicates a number oflocations with drainage related problems. Certain street locations are subject to occasional flooding. Also, as noted in the P AA Inventory, the area around Lake Dolloff, is in a designated floodplain. Recently the Roads Maintenance Division addressed surface water problems with a 48-inch crosstile at Peasley Canyon Road, and a pipe and catch basin within an easement to Lake Geneva. The Peasley Canyon Road area is subject to landslide and erosion due to sensitive environmental conditions (designated landslide and erosion hazard area). Lake Geneva is subject to periodic maintenance for cleaning of inlets and drainage structures, which indicates potential for periodic sediment and debris accumulations. More problematic drainage conditions indicated by King County Roads Maintenance Division 3 are listed in Table 10. The drainage facilities and locations listed are subject to flooding by excessive stormwater flows, and must be monitored during storms. The problems are severe enough to warrant study of a design solution for the facility and the local drainage system. Several other nearby areas with known problems are also listed in the following Table 11. The problems may be related to drainage conditions in the P AA, possibly contributing flow or groundwater, and Federal Way may be asked to participate in a solution to December 2003 36 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan that problem.

Costs associated with complaint response would include staff time to respond to inquiries and issues, and the labor, equipment and materials to provide minor corrective actions. Non-routine problems, i.e. street flooding, severe stream bank erosion, etc., may become more identifiable over time and require further action. Certain problem areas may require continual non-routine maintenance due to existing environmental conditions (such as Peasley Canyon Road), or could become candidates for further study and capital improvements (such as Lakes Geneva and Dolloff). 9.2 Future Surface Water Needs As part of a more detailed level of service analysis (Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11,2003), program and capital improvements have been identified. To transition the P AA from the existing County level of service to the Federal Way program for surface water, the following actions will be needed: . The City will need to conduct a field inventory of the storm drainage conveyance system for inclusion in a map or GIS database. December 2003 37 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . The City facilities and GIS databases will need to be updated to provide coverage of the P AA. The increased inventory of facilities to maintain, due to the annexation, will over the long tenn require a proportional increase in the City's maintenance budget. Increased program space needs will possibly require larger maintenance facilities than those currently planned by Federal Way and possibly accelerate the need for new facilities. It is anticipated that after annexation, Federal Way will experience a level of complaints and responses in the P AA similar to current levels. Costs associated with complaint response would include staff time to respond to inquiries and issues, and the labor, equipment and materials to provide minor corrective actions. . . . . Non-routine problems, i.e. street flooding, severe stream bank erosion, etc., may become more identifiable over time and require further action. Certain problem areas may require continual non-routine maintenance due to existing environmental conditions (such as Peasley Canyon Road), or could become candidates for further study and capital improvements (such as Lakes Geneva and Dolloff). Ten Regional Stonnwater Facilities constructed and maintained by King County will need to be maintained by Federal Way. King County has identified 67 residential and 29 commercial drainage facilities in the P AA. The residential facilities are inspected and maintained by King County. The commercial facilities are inspected by King County and maintained by the property owner. Federal Way will need to evaluate the feasibility of inspection and maintenance. . . . An initial sustained cleaning effort will likely be needed to bring the ditch system to a level of improvement where minimal routine maintenance would be needed. This could take approximately two years, depending on the levels of accumulations and restoration needed, and may need to respond to the Tri-County Regional Road Maintenance Program, a program that implements road maintenance practices that protect habitat by reducing pollutants and sediment from reaching environmentally sensitive areas such as rivers, streams and wetlands. The program also encourages the removal of old road culverts and other blockages that prevent fish from reaching spawning areas. It is anticipated with the annexation that Federal Way may take a more active role with the drainage and water quality aspects of the P AA lake system. There are various options for Federal Way to set up the lake management system, including use of homeowners associations, lake management districts, and the City's stonnwater management utility. Upon annexation of the PAA, it is anticipated that Federal Way will expand its water quality program to provide more lake water quality . . December 2003 38 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . management and surface water quality monitoring. This could include a variety of program elements, such as volunteer groups, monitoring stations, community organization, and public education. Federal Way will need to increase other stormwater program components to include the P AA. A notable expansion element will be a field inventory ofthe storm drainage system, which is a part ofthe Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination requirement in the Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Potential capital improvements are anticipated to include: 0 The four problem areas indicated in Table 10, from King County Maintenance Division 3. Some additional improvements may be needed depending on the outcome of complaints that have remained open as shown in the PAA Inventory. 0 King County Executive Proposed Basin Plan for Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound include the following: - Project 2442: S. 360th Street Regional Detention Pond - Construct a regional detention facility on tributary 00116A at about S 360th Street (extended). This project may be completed through a partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation and the City of Federal Way. - Project 2444: SR 161 Conveyance Upgrades - Upgrade three culvert crossings at tributaries 0016A, 0016, and 0006. - Project 2446: SR 161 Regional Pond - Construct a regional detention facility on tributary 0015 at SR 161. . As the Basin Plan is ten years old, it is likely that the conditions and potential project list should be re-examined and prioritized. 0 There are several projects identified in the Mill Creek Special Area Management Plan and Mill Creek Basin Flood Management Plan. These projects are not within the P AA, however the City of Federal Way may be asked to help adjacent jurisdictions with cost sharing in the future if annexation occurs because King County was identified as a possible agency which could provide cost sharing and because of the location of the headwaters for these projects within the P AA. The projects identified are as follows: - Bingaman Creek Levee Overflow Improvements (King County). - Study of Mullen Slough Intercept Hillside Drainage (King County). - Sediment Trap on Peasley Canyon Tributary (City of Auburn). Due to the date of the basin study in 1997, some ofthese projects may December 2003 39 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan have begun and may have received funding from other sources. These projects are not within the P AA and were not included in P AA CIP cost estimates. To meet City surface water level of service standards, and accomplish the studies and improvements identified in the P AA studies, capital cost estimates have been developed and are summarized in Table 12.

However, there has been no determination of specific cost share by Federal Way, and none are estimated above. (8) Cost data for estimates were derived trom the following sources: a, Federal Way estimates for ditch cleaning, with a 33 percent contingency. b, Federal Way staff information for pond cleaning costs, Pond facilities (wet ponds, infiltration facilities, etc.) were estimated at $5,000 per facility. Other facilities (catch basins, tanks, etc.) were assumed at $1,000 per facility. The costs were assumed to include some contingency; therefore, no additional contingency was applied. c. Planning cost estimates for stormwater facilities developed for the City of Auburn 2002 Comprehensive Drainage Plan. Conveyance costs included a ratio of four catch basins per 300 feet. When individual catch basins or manholes were indicated, separate cost estimates for the catch basin or manhole were made, using the planning cost estimates developed for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) outfall inventory project (2002). d. Costs for certain stormwater facilities, and costs for mobilization, traffic control, tax, engineering, and land acquisition were obtained trom planning cost estimates developed for WSDOT outfall inventory project (2002). A discussion of public service operating and capital costs and revenues including the Surface Water enterprise fund, can be found in Section 12, Public Services and Capital Facilities. 9.3 Surface Water Goals and Policies Surface water management would be guided by the following goal and policies. Surface Water Goal Promote a P AA surface water system that protects the environment and property, and allows for efficient operation and maintenance. December 2003 41 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan Surface Water Policy In addition to Natural Environment and Capital Facility policies, the following policy is provided specific to surface water concerns: P AA SW -1 Prior to annexations of large areas, the County, in conjunction with the City and in partnership with other agencies, should further inventory surface water facilities and conditions, and prepare hydrologic models and basin plans for the PAA areas east ofI-5. Surface water analysis of the Redondo East Subarea should occur as necessary, in conjunction with any area-wide subbasin or basin plans for the vicinity. 10 TRANSPORTATION 10.1 Summary of Inventory The Federal Way P AA is served by a series of arterial roadways that provide local and regional transportation access. Refer to Map IX King County has been responsible for maintenance of public roadways and accompanying facilities such as shoulders, sidewalks, traffic signs, striping and signals, guardrails, and landscaping. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has jurisdiction over state highways within the P AA. State Highways located within the boundaries ofthe Study Area include Interstate 5 (1-5), SR-18, SR-99 (Pacific Highway S) and SR-161 (Enchanted Parkway S). The City of Federal Way is currently responsible for the maintenance ofthese facilities within the City limits, except 1-5 and SR-18, which are currently maintained by WSDOT. Transit service, including several park and ride facilities along the 1- 5 Corridor, is provided by King County Metro. The majority of the street network in the P AA is characteristically rural with asphalt concrete pavement, gravel shoulders, and ditches for drainage purposes. The street network is largely underdeveloped, with many cul-de-sacs and dead- end streets creating insufficient connectivity. Furthermore, a general lack of sidewalks and existing luminaires inhibit pedestrian traffic and present public safety concerns. Luminaires are limited to street intersections along arterial streets and newer subdivisions, with very few mid-block luminaires along arterial streets. Most arterial corridors in the P AA, particularly in the Southeast, lack sidewalks and, in most cases, are poorly lit. As shown in Table 13, sidewalks are a smaller percent of lane road miles.

Controllers would need to be replaced to connect to the City's system. *** King County does not inventory sheet name signs, which would understate the number of signs maintained. Source: King County Roads The largest traffic volumes exist along east/west arterial routes, which provide access to 1-5. Over half of the arterial roadway miles within the study area have accident rates that are higher than the average King County accident rates. 10.2 Existing and Future Transportation Levels of Service The purpose of the intersection level-of-service (LOS) analysis is to identify LOS deficiencies in the City's PAA and then evaluate the improvements that will be needed to meet the City's LOS standard. LOS is a letter designation that describes a range of operating conditions along a roadway segment or at an intersection. The Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM2000) defines the LOS concept as "a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, and comfort and convenience." Six grades of LOS are defined for traffic operational analysis. They are given letter designations A through F, with LOS A representing the best range of December 2003 43 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan operating conditions and LOS F the worst. The specific terms in which each level of service is defined vary with the type of transportation facility involved. In general, LOS A describes a free-flowing condition in which individual vehicles in the traffic stream are not affected by the presence of other vehicles. LOS F generally describes a breakdown in operations that occurs when traffic arriving at a point is greater than the facility's capacity to discharge the traffic flow; consequently, vehicle queues develop. Existinl! LOS For this study, LOS was analyzed at a total of twenty-five (25) intersections with the results presented in Map X. Intersection LOS analyses were performed using Highway Capacity Software Version 4.1 b (HCS2000). Representative intersections in various parts ofthe P AA that the City and/or County monitor now, or desire to monitor in the future when the roadways are constructed, were analyzed. (Based on information from the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11,2003.) In base year of 2000, the LOS analysis was done by using actual traffic counts between years 2000 to 2002. Analysis indicated that all signalized intersections operated at an acceptable LOS during the PM peak hour and most unsignalized intersections were operating at an acceptable LOS. Exceptions included: S 288th Street at 51"t Avenue S S 296th Street at 51st Avenue S SR 99 at 16th Avenue S LOSF LOSF LOSF Future LOS Analysis of the transportation impacts of future land use requires development of future transportation networks. The future land use projection analyzed is based on Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) projections and market analysis, and was developed for the year 2020 (based on information from the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003). In order to determine a future road network, the City provided a future street improvement list by analyzing the Transportation Improvement Programs, comprehensive plans, and near term transportation improvement projects of King County, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the City of Federal Way. In order to analyze the year 2020 LOS, future intersection volumes were estimated using a calibrated EMME/2 transportation model. On behalf of the City, Mirai Associates developed the EMME/2 model based on the forecasted land use and future transportation improvements described briefly above. The results of the analysis are shown in Map XI (based on information from the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003). Overall the most congested locations included are those with two-way stop control, and those December 2003 44 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan located in the Military Road corridor. 20-year intersection LOS deficiencies are shown in Map XI. The average vehicle delay and LOS changes are: Congested Locations Military Road S at S 27200 Street Military Road S at S 320111 Street S 277th Street at 55th Avenue S S 288th Street at 51st Avenue S Military Road S at S 312111 Street Peasley Canyon Way S at S Peasley Canyon Road Military Road S at Peasley Canyon Way S Military Road S at S Star Lake Road (N Jct.) 51 st Avenue S at S 296th Street Military Road S at S 360111 Street 28111 Avenue Sat S 360th Street SR 99 at 16111 Avenue S Average Vehicle Delay and LOS Change from 42 sec to I 16 sec, from D to F from 27 sec to 73 sec, from C to E from 59 sec to 195 sec, from E to F from 64 sec to 361 sec, from F to F Exceeds calculable limits (ECL) from 26 sec to 351 sec, from D to F from 34 sec to 559 sec, from D to F from 39 sec to ECL, from E to F from 106 sec to 996 sec, from F to F from 22 sec to ECL, from C to F from 46 sec to 770 sec, from E to F Exceeds calculable limits (ECL) To determine the additional improvements needed to meet the City's LOS standard, the lowest cost capacity improvement is sought to address identified deficiency and then LOS analysis is conducted with the recommended improvements to insure that all locations will meet the City's LOS standard. With the recommended improvements listed in Table 14 and shown on Map XII, the City's LOS standard is met at all future deficient locations. Table 14.

Source: Jones & Stokes 2003 (Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003) Notes: A WSC = All Way Stop Controlled; TWSC = Two Way Stop Controlled The total estimated capital cost for roadway improvements in the P AA, existing and future needs to achieve levels of service, is $10,882,000 through 2020, as shown in Table 15. About 21 percent of the total capital facility cost estimate is related to existing deficiencies ($2,241,000). Existing deficiencies due to levels of service below E were found at: . S 288th Street at 51 st Avenue S S 296th Street at 51 st Avenue S SR 99 at 16th Avenue S . . Of the three subareas in the P AA, the Northeast Subarea has the largest estimated roadway cost at $7,561,000. The largest part of this is the Military Road South project described above. The Southeast Subarea has an estimated roadway capital cost of$3,039,000, with the largest project consisting of a $1,188,000 improvement to the Military Road South/South 360th Street intersection. The Redondo East Subarea has a total roadway cost of $282,000, which consists entirely of the SR 99/16th Avenue South intersection improvement project. Table 15.

These road cross-section improvements may be made incrementally as new development makes street frontage improvements, or through local improvement districts, or other means. The road cross-section estimates were made in a preliminary fashion for order of magnitude level of analysis, using as a basis data provided by the County on lane miles, feet of sidewalk, etc. in the P AA. The Northeast Subarea and Southeast Subarea have similar road cross-section costs at $30,900,000 and $32,000,000 respectively. The cross-section improvements in Redondo East Subarea total $71,000. Please refer to Table 15. A discussion of public service operating and capital costs and revenues, including Transportation, can be found in Section 12, Public Services and Capital Facilities. 10.3 Transportation Goals and Policies Transportation would be guided by the following goal and policies. Transportation Goal Establish a safe, coordinated, and linked multimodal transportation system serving local and area-wide travel needs. Transportation Policies P AA Trans - 1 Prior to annexations, particularly in the Northeast and Southeast Subareas, the City and County should jointly classify streets in the P AA consistent with Federal, State, and City guidelines, and future roadway usage. Joint City-County street standards should also be established, such as the City of Federal Way standards, a hybrid of standards, or others as determined by the City and County. This may be achieved through an interlocal agreement and any December 2003 49 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan required County Comprehensive Plan amendments. The joint classification system will help ensure a common set of standards are applied as new roadway improvements are proposed and implemented in the P AA, and that the roadways meet City standards upon annexation. The City classification system for the P AA is presented in Map IX. P AA Trans - 2 Joint City and County street standards identified in P AA Trans- 1 should address: . Property access . Street signs . Street lighting . Pedestrian and bicycle safety . Street widths. P AA Trans - 3 As development proposals are proposed or capital improvements are implemented in the P AA prior to annexation, the City and County should encourage the connection of streets when considering subdivision or street improvement proposals, unless prevented by topographic or environmental constraints. The City and County should limit the use of cul-de- sacs, dead-end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers to a coordinated transportation network in the community. P AA Trans - 4 The City should work with the County to ensure uniform maintenance standards for public streets are instituted and conducted by the County until such time as annexation occurs. P AA Trans - 5 Prior to annexation of P AA properties, the County, in consultation with the City, should review high accident locations, and improve street safety and functions focusing efforts at the most critical locations. P AA Trans - 6 To ensure that City and County LOS standards are met as development occurs prior to annexation, the City and County should agree to joint implementation of LOS standards for concurrency. Development applicants should prepare reports that contain dual analysis of the County's Transportation Adequacy Measurement (TAM) and Roadway Segment level of service standards and the City's LOS E intersection standard. P AA Trans - 7 Prior to annexation ofthe Northeast and Southeast Subareas, a coordinated Capital Improvement Program should be prepared between the City and County to ensure that improvements required to meet levels of service are implemented concurrent with development. P AA Trans - 8 The City and County shall continue to coordinate with park- and-ride and transit service providers in establishing appropriate LOS for the P AA, promoting alternative modes and assisting the achievement of LOS December 2003 50 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan standards. PAA Trans - 9 Prior to annexation of the Northeast and Southeast Subareas, as part of a P AA interlocal agreement the City and County shall establish a regional traffic planning and mitigation payment system. 11 PRIVATE UTILITIES Utilities described in this section include electric (power), natural gas, telephone, and cable. Public utilities are described under Public Services and Capital Facilities. Private utility providers rely on coordination of information such as population and employment forecasts as well as coordination of construction activities, such as street improvements. 11.1 Summary of P AA Inventory Electric Electric utility service for the Federal Way PAA is provided by Puget Sound Energy (PSE). The PSE grid provides a link between the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Bulk Transmission System and the local distribution system that connects with customers. Bulk transmission lines supply power into the Federal Way distribution system and provide connections to Tacoma City Light, King, and Pierce Counties. Power is transferred from the transmission system to the PSE local distribution system at distribution sub-stations. There are 115,000 volt, 230,000 volt, and 500,000 volt transmission lines in the Federal WayPAA. Distribution substations transform voltages of 115kV (Kilovolt) or greater to lower voltages of 12 or 34kV. Electric Substations serving the Federal Way PAA include: Marine View; Lakota; Belmor; Christopher; Weyerhaeuser; Starwood; Kitts Comer; and West Campus. Most of the Substations include one or two 25,000 kV A transformers. The load on the substation varies continuously, exactly meeting the demand of the customers. The average PSE residential customer uses approximately 2 kV A per person during peak winter conditions. Commercial loads are highly business specific. (Based on information found in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002.) As new development occurs or consumer electrical demand increases, future substations will be needed to meet the increased demand. The future substations in the PSE long-range plan include: Federal Way; Dolloff; Twin Lakes; Enchanted; Five Mile Lake; and Killamey. There are planned expansions at Marine View Substation and the development of the Transmission line corridor between Christopher and Marine View. There are also future 115 kV lines planned in the Five Mile Lake area (in Lakeland). (Based on information found December 2003 51 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002.) Natural Gas Puget Sound Energy provides natural gas to the Federal Way P AA. The PSE customer count in the Federal Way PAA is approximately 5,250. Natural gas is not an essential service, and therefore PSE is not mandated to serve all areas. Significant lines in or near the PAA include a 12" STW (steel wrap) supply main located in Military Road South and 6" STW located in 288th Street. At this time within the Federal Way PAA, no improvements are planned to existing facilities. Long Range plans for the years 2006-2007 call for installation of a 16" STW High Pressure supply main from Auburn Valley to the Star Lake area, and the route is still in the planning stage. (Based on information found in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002.) Telephone Qwest delivers telecommunication services to the Federal Way planning area as regulated by WUTC. Qwest is required by law to provide adequate telecommunications services on demand. Accordingly, Qwest will provide facilities to accommodate whatever growth pattern occurs within the P AA. Due to advances in technology, additional capacity is easily and quickly added to the system. (Based on information found in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002.) Wireless Service and Cable Providers Numerous wireless service providers currently serve the City of Federal Way and the P AA. Comcast Cable serves the majority of the City and P AA. (Based on information found in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory, Final, March 18, 2002.) 11.2 Private Utilities Goals and Policies Coordination with private utilities is addressed in the following goal and policy. Private Utilities Goal Facilitate provision of electric, natural gas, telecommunication, and cable services to the greater Federal Way community. Private Utilities Policy P AA Utility - 1 The County and City should coordinate with electric, natural gas and telecommunication providers to ensure P AA services support planned growth, meet desired customer service needs, and result in a comparable community system in the greater Federal Way area. December 2003 52 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 12 PUBLIC SERVICES AND CAPITAL FACILITIES This section provides a summary of current and projected public services and capital facilities in the P AA, addressing local government as well as special district services and facilities. For services that the City would provide if the P AA were to be annexed, an analysis of operating and capital costs and revenues is provided based upon the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Annexation Feasibility Report, December 2003. 12.1 Inventory of Public Services Likely to Change as a Result of Annexation General Government The City of Federal Way and King County house a variety of operations such as administration, public safety, court services, community/senior centers, and maintenance bases at government facilities. The P AA contains the following County government facility: Lake Dolloff Community Policing Storefront just west of 51 st Avenue S. in the Camelot neighborhood. A private, non-profit senior center operates in the P AA at S. 352nd Street in the Lakeland neighborhood. While this facility has received some King County and City of Federal Way funding, it is not owned or operated by either jurisdiction. Also, the North Lake Improvement Club clubhouse is a non-profit center available for public use, although not owned or operated by the City of Federal Way or King County. The operating costs that could be borne by the City, if it annexed the P AA and provided General Government services, is estimated in Table 17 further below. (Also see Section 8 regarding capital costs for community centers.) Parks and Recreation Please refer to subsections 8 and 12.2. Police Services The King County Sheriff provides police protection services to the P AA. The PAA is served by Precinct 3, George Sector, with its headquarters in Maple Valley. However, there is a local storefront police station near Lake Dolloff in the Camelot neighborhood. The substation is not manned for general public visitors, and one must call and leave a message. Although calls for service in the P AA have decreased by five percent between 1999 and 2000, during this time period the number of traffic citations and traffic accident events increased by 17 and 12 percent respectively. As of2000, the crime rate of35.26 per 1,000 population was nearly equal to the crime rate for the December 2003 53 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan countywide area patrolled by the Sheriff's Office. According to the King County Executive's Proposed 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program, there are no new proposed or expanded capital facilities in the Federal Way P AA. At the time of incorporation, the City contracted with the King County Sheriffs Department for police services. In the spring of 1995, the City decided to terminate its contract relationship with King County and form its own police department. The City's Public Safety Department began limited service on September 16, 1996, and was fully operational on October 16, 1996. Federal Way's Public Safety Department could be expanded at some time in the future so that it could effectively provide services to the P AA. (A comparison oflevels of service in the County and City can be found in Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003.) State laws require and establish procedures for the lateral transfer to a City of qualified county sheriffs office employees who would otherwise be laid off as a result of the annexation of unincorporated territory into that city (RCW 35.13.360 to 400). The City would not be required to put all transferring employees on the police department payroll. It is within the City's discretion to determine what staffing provides an adequate level of law enforcement service. Estimates of public safety operating costs to the City should annexation occur are provided in Table 17 below. Solid Waste The King County Department of Natural Resources, Solid Waste Division, operates King County's transfer and disposal system comprised of a regional landfill, eight transfer stations, and two rural drop boxes for residential and non- residential self-haul customers and commercial haulers. The closest waste transfer station to the PAA and the City of Federal Way is in the City of Algona. Unincorporated areas of King County are served by private garbage collection companies, which receive oversight through the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC). While Federal Way Disposal serves the City of Federal Way, local haulers within the PAA operate within two service areas: Allied Service Area (SeaTac Disposal) and Waste Management and Allied Service Area (Sea- Tac Disposal and RST Disposal), with the dividing line at about S. 300th Street. In the event of annexation, the City may decide to contract for solid waste collection or undertake solid waste collection itself. However, in accordance with State Law, the holder ofthe fÌ'anchise or permit in the annexing area may continue to operate for the remaining term of the original franchise or permit, or for seven years, whichever time period is shorter (RCW 35A.14.900). In the Parkway neighborhood, the Puyallup/Kit Comer Landfill is sited southeast ofthe 1-5 and SR-18 interchange. This landfill was closed in the mid-1960's prior December 2003 54 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan to existing regulations requiring extensive environmental controls. Environmental systems are being monitored and maintained, and gas extraction systems are in place. Estimates of solid waste operating costs to the City should annexation occur are provided in Table 17 below. Surface Water See Subsections 9 and 12.2. Tra ns portatio n See Subsection 10 and 12.2. 12.2 Summary of Fiscal Impacts and Strategies Fiscal Impacts Summary The City of Federal Way would experience a significant negative fiscal impact on its operating budget if the Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas (Southeast: Lakeland, Jovita, Parkway neighborhoods; Northeast: Star Lake, Camelot, and North Lake neighborhoods) were annexed to the City and the City used the same revenue sources and rates, and provided the same level of services as it provides to the residents and businesses in the current boundaries of the City. The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million ($8.2 million cost; $4.6 million revenue). The cost of providing the City's levels of service in the PAA would exceed revenues from the PAA by 78 percent annually. The net operating revenue (or net costs) presented here represent the gap between operating revenues generated in each ofthe P AAs under the City's 2003 revenue structure and the costs of extending 2003 levels of City services to the same areas. In order to present a full picture of operating impacts, this presentation combines fiscal impacts across a number of disparate City Funds. The City would undoubtedly continue City policy that Surface Water Management (SWM) costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. Such a strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels ofSWM services by $538,000 (the difference between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($285,000). The remaining $3.0 million gap, then, would be bridged through some combination of other strategies. Another way of understanding the fiscal impact of the approximately $3.4 million deficit is to see how it compares to the combined revenue of the City of Federal Way and the combined Northeast/Southeast PAA subareas. If Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast P AA subareas are viewed as a single City of over 105,000 population, the annual deficit of$3.6 million equals six percent of the combined operating revenue. It would be like running a business that loses six December 2003 55 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan percent every year. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the P AA totaling over $48.3 million. Dedicated capital revenue is anticipated to be $32.0 million through the year 2020, leaving an unfunded cost of $16.3 million (which averages $0.9 million per year through 2020). As noted for operating costs above, City policy for surface water (and other enterprise activities) is to cover costs with fee revenue. Assuming that the City would use enterprise policy to cover the $4.7 million cost of stormwater capital, the remaining deficit would be $11,564,520 (which is an annual average of $642,473). In addition, the City will undoubtedly receive mitigation payments or impact fees from development in the P AA, which were not possible to estimate at this time, but they would reduce the size of the deficit. Tables 16 to 21 provide the cost and revenue infonnation supporting the conclusions above: Table 16.

State and County Support: With this option, the City could indicate that its ability to annex the Southeast and Northeast Subareas is contingent upon the State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of such annexations. Examples could include a new local option sales tax per State Law that authorizes King County to submit such a tax for voter approval, State December 2003 58 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan grants, and unexpended County impact fees being provided to the City. The County's ability to continue to service urban unincorporated islands has decreased over the last several years, and the County has been cutting back services. Accordingly, in August 2003, it was reported that King County will offer a total of $1 a million to a number of cities that annex unincorporated areas in their P AAs. Details were not announced, and will depend on the County's budget decisions. 2. Local Taxpayers: With this option, the City could use one or more general taxes to have all taxpayers in Federal Way and the combined annexation area share in paying the annual operating deficit. The City could ask voters to approve long-term debt in the form of a general obligation bond that is used to build capital improvements. Of particular interest are enterprise funds. Like many cities, Federal Way has a policy that costs of enterprise funds, such as Surface Water Management and Solid Waste are to be covered by user fees. Such a strategy would require increased fees and/or decreased levels of services. Federal Way could increase user fees throughout the City and P AA for its stormwater utility and/or solid waste utility and use the proceeds to offset the increased cost of providing those services in the PAA. 3. Tax Base Expansion: A long-term strategy for Federal Way could be to increase City revenue by increasing the tax base in the P AA and/or in the City limits. Some businesses, like automobile dealerships, generate significantly more tax revenue than the cost of the public services they receive. These strategies could be pursued independently by the City of Federal Way, but King County could make annexation more attractive if it were to take the lead in rezoning selected parcels in the P AA in accordance with provisions of the approved Subarea Plan and assisting in the economic development strategies to develop those areas. A caveat would be that the City of Federal Way and the PAAs currently have vacant and underdeveloped land to absorb decades of anticipated commercial growth. 4. Special Districts: One strategy to generate revenue to pay for Federal Way's level of service in the annexation area would be to create a special district and charge a property tax levy in that district. Washington law allows the creation oflimited special purpose districts for a number of purposes, such as roads, parks, transportation, and "local improvements." Voter approval is required to create special districts that have taxing authority. Property owner approval is required to create special districts that use special assessments. There is some risk associated with using special districts as a strategy to pay for providing urban levels of service the P AA. A vote on creating a special taxing district would occur subsequent to an annexation vote. If voters approve annexation, but do not approve the creation of the district(s), the City December 2003 59 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan would be left with insufficient money to provide its level of service. 5. Reduced or Phased Levels of Service: Another way for the City to address the difference in levels of service between Federal Way and the County would be to permanently provide a lower level of service for one or more services, either broadly citywide or only within specific areas. A second strategy for addressing the difference in level of service would be to phase-in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. Phasing would reduce costs during the transition, and it would provide Federal Way with time to recruit and hire personnel and acquire facilities and equipment. However, eventually, phased levels of service will grow to equal the standards achieved by the City of Federal Way. When that occurs, service levels will be the same throughout the City, and the City will experience the full fiscal impacts of those levels of servIce. A variation on phased or reduced levels of service could include alternative service delivery strategies or customized strategies for specific neighborhoods tailored to the needs or characteristics of the P AA location. For example, crime prevention programs could vary by neighborhood depending on the type residential dwellings, commercial uses, and previous crime rate statistics. 6. Phased Annexation: This strategy would involve annexing those areas that are financially self-supporting first and then annexing other areas later, perhaps in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations. Phased annexation based on fiscal impacts could be accomplished by annexing Redondo first because it has no operating cash deficit. The Northeast PAA subarea, or portions thereof, could be annexed next because its operating costs exceed revenues by 61 percent. Last to be annexed could be the Southeast P AA subarea, because its costs are estimated to be more than double the revenue it would generate (i.e., the deficit is 105 percent). Phasing can also be accomplished by smaller areas, such as community subareas. For example, if community subareas were annexed in order of their fiscal impact, from least to most net operating cost, the following would be the phasing sequence: Northlake, Lakeland, Star Lake, Jovita, Camelot, and Parkway. If other Implementation Strategies are considered and employed to determine phasing for annexation. the order might be different than the preceding list. It should be noted that phasing annexation emphasizes differences among the areas, and misses the opportunity to mitigate the apparent differences among areas by taking them all at the same time, thus effectively averaging the "highs" and "lows" of both revenues and costs. December 2003 60 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan Some implementation strategies may be suitable to different portions of the PAA while others may not be. Study of the alternatives prior to or at the time of annexation requests would be warranted. 12.3 Services Unlikely to Change as a Result of Annexation: In the event of annexation, some services currently being provided in the P AA through special districts will not change. The current service providers, levels of service, or costs of services including fire protection, library, schools, water and wastewater will remain unchanged. However, it is important that the City and service providers coordinate planning efforts to match services and facilities with the current and future population and employment levels. Each of the services are summarized below based on the March 18, 2002 P AA Inventory. Fire Services The Federal Way Fire Department provides service to the City of Federal Way and most of the surrounding unincorporated area in the Federal Way P AA. However, the Fire Department is not part of the City of Federal Way government. The Department was formed in 1980 from a series of mergers, which united several smaller fire districts in the area, some of which had been in existence since 1946. The resulting boundary encompasses some 34 square miles and has an estimated population of over 100,000. Services provided by the Federal Way Fire Department include fire suppression, fire prevention (building inspection and public information), emergency medical, and communications center operation for 911 emergency calls. Emergency medical response calls or service make up a majority of the calls for the Department. The PAA is served by four ofthe Department's six stations (Map VIII). One of these stations is located outside of the P AA, within the Redondo area. The other fire stations serving the P AA are located within the Lakeland and Camelot community subareas. The fire station in the Camelot area lies on the border of the Camelot and North Lake community sub areas. A 1996 Des Moines annexation (W oodmontiRedondo) could result in area currently served by the Federal Way Fire Department to be served by Fire District 26 if either party should give the required 12-month notice to eliminate the contract allowing the Federal Way Fire Department to continue providing service. If the contract is eliminated, District 26 would take ownership of Station 66. The Federal Way Fire Department has purchased property at South 288th and Interstate 5 as a contingency should they need to replace Station 66. This would accommodate the building of a new station that is more centrally located in the north end of the City. This realignment of stations, response areas, and revenues would require closure of Station 65 (4966 South 298th). Both Stations 65 and 66 serve portions of the Federal Way P AA. December 2003 61 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan For the City and P AA Planning efforts, the City has worked closely with the Department in reviewing the Fire District Master Plan, which complies with the GMA. The Department's Master Plan identifies the new facilities the Department will need to continue providing service as its service area grows. The City included the Department's new facilities requirements and cost and revenue estimates in the City's Capital Facilities chapter. Library Services Library services are provided by King County. There are no public libraries inside the P AA, but there are six libraries of different sizes serving residents of the P AA including: Algona-Pacific Library - 5,250 square feet (medium) 255 Ellingson Road Auburn Library - 15,000 square feet (resource) 1102 Auburn Way South Federal Way 320th Library- 10,000 square feet (large) 848 S. 320th St. Federal Way Regional Library - 25,000 square feet (regional) 34200 1st Way S. Kent Regional - 22,500 square feet (regional) 212 2nd Avenue N. Woodmont Library - 5,250 square feet (medium) 26809 Pacific Highway South King County Library System (KCLS) plans for capital projects, including expansions, depend on the KCLS Board determining whether they wish to propose a bond issue to King County voters and whether it passes. The KCLS staff and Board have discussed many possible projects for such a bond issue and some of the libraries serving the P AA have been included. However, there are no capital plans or funds to provide library services in the P AA at this time. Schools/Education Probably more than any other special district, a school district provides an area with a sense of community. The Federal Way School District #210 (as outlined on Map XIV) extends from the county line south to South 252nd west of 1-5 and South 232nd Street, east of 1-5 to the north, and for the most part along the edge of the plateau to the east. A school district provides a common thread, be it through school activities such as organized sports, or through voting during elections. City staff meets regularly with School District #210 administrators to discuss December 2003 62 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan growth management and school development issues. The District primarily serves students in the Cities of Federal Way, Des Moines, and Kent, and unincorporated King County. The District administration has indicated in these meetings that they would prefer to work with one jurisdiction as the District attempts to anticipate growth and develop plans for new school facilities. Seven schools are located in the P AA, including five elementary schools, one junior high school, and one high school (as outlined on Map XIV). Aside from Thomas Jefferson High School, all schools within and serving the PAA have some student demand beyond the building capacity, requiring the use of portable classrooms. Water and Wastewater The Lakehaven Utility District and Highline Water District provide water service to properties within the P AA. As indicated on Map XV, the current Lakehaven Utility District boundary is generally bordered on the south by the Pierce/King County line, on the east by the Green River Valley, and on the west by Puget Sound. The Lakehaven Utility District's northern boundary is generally bordered by South 272nd Street with a narrow strip extending along Puget Sound to South 252nd Street. Maps contained in the Lakehaven District's water system comprehensive plan describe an extensive system of wells, storage tanks, and distribution mains. The water distribution infrastructure is sufficient to provide water to virtually all of the Lakehaven Utility District. The Highline Water District water service area boundary encompasses most of the PAA Star Lake community subarea and parts of the City of Federal Way (Map XV). Both the 1998 Lakehaven Utility District Comprehensive Water System Plan and 2002 Highline Water District Capital Improvement Plan have identified the following water quality and service goals and objectives: maintain their water systems and water quality to the highest level of service and at least the level required by applicable regulations; participate in the conservation efforts to maximize existing water supply resources and develop new water resources; and install new water distribution systems as necessary to serve the existing and future populations within their Districts. Both Districts have existing rate structures and capability to ensure this level of service. Wastewater systems in the PAA include both septic and sanitary sewer systems. Sanitary sewer service is available in several areas outside the City limits including the Camelot/ Star Lake area, north of Lake Dolloff, Redondo, Woodmont, a small area east on -5 and south of Kitts Comer Road, and portions of the Weyerhaeuser Corporate campus east on-5. See Map XVI. Relevant to the P AA, the Lakehaven Utility District plans estimate that sewer December 2003 63 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan service will be extended to the east-central area of the District in the near future and the area is projected to reach its target population in the Year 2007, based on the Lakehaven Sewer Master Plan which estimated growth based upon City of Federal Way traffic analysis zone growth projections available in approximately 1999. The number of onsite septic systems throughout the District was estimated to be 7,500. The Utility District plan assumptions are that 50 percent of the onsite systems will be replaced with sanitary sewer connections by the year 2017. Under ultimate development conditions, it is anticipated that all areas that could feasibly and economically be served would be served. The City of Federal Way's responsibility with regard to the water and wastewater systems will be limited to updating the FWCP in future years in accordance with the City's regular planning efforts, and providing development applications to the Lakehaven Utility District and Highline Water District for their input as part of the City's Development Review Committee process. 12.4 Public Services and Capital Facilities Goals and Policies The provision of public services and capital facilities would be guided by the following goal and policies. Public Services and Capital Facilities Goal Provide effective, efficient, and quality capital facilities and services at the level necessary to meet community needs and support allowed growth. Public Services and Capital Facilities Policies In addition to Governance and Intergovernmental Coordination Policies, the following policies are proposed: P AA CapFac - 1 Prior to annexation, the City, in conjunction with King County, should develop and maintain an inventory of capital facilities in the P AA. As new information becomes available, supplementary inventories should be completed for surface water facilities and roadway improvements to bridge gaps in information identified in the Final Potential Annexation Area Inventory, City of Federal Way, March 18, 2002. P AA CapFac - 2 City and County plans should address the P AA to ensure that systems are reviewed comprehensively, and in order to support desired annexation phasing. P AA CapFac - 3 Through an interlocal agreement prior to annexation, shared City-County capital facility maintenance standards should be implemented. Standards, funding, and practices should seek to avoid maintenance deferrals prior to annexation. Maintenance standards should be consistent with approved functional plans for transportation, stormwater, parks, and other systems that would become a part of the City system upon annexation. December 2003 64 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan P AA CapFac - 4 The City should allow for a variety of service delivery or revenue enhancement options to increase the feasibility of annexation. Based on the PAA Annexation Feasibility Study, these options may include, but are not limited to: a. State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of annexation, through such options as New Local Option Sales Tax, State Grants, unspent County Impact Fees, County monetary incentives to annex, or others. b. The County or City posing to voters general obligation bonds or general taxes. c. The County or City proposing to create special limited districts in P AAs to pay for specific costs. d. Tax base expansion per Policy LU-6. e. Increase in fees for enterprise funds such as surface water management or the solid waste program. f. When considering annexation proposals, the City could provide a lower level of service for one or more services. The reduction could be City-wide (e.g. lower park standards) or just in the P AAs (e.g. lower roadway pavement rating in the newly annexed neighborhoods). g. When considering annexation proposals, the City could explore alternative service delivery strategies or customized strategies for specific neighborhoods tailored to the needs or characteristics of the P AA location. h. The City could address the difference in County and City levels of service by phasing-in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. 1. The City could annex those areas that are financially self-supporting first and then annex other areas in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations, such as identified in "a" to "h" above. PAA CapFac-5 To avoid City assumption ofnonconfonning infrastructure, a coordinated Capital Improvement Program should be prepared between the City and County. Such a program should be developed prior to annexation, particularly of the Northeast and Southeast subareas, to ensure that improvements required to meet levels of service are implemented concurrent with new development. When considering annexation proposals that have significant existing nonconfonning infrastructure, the City should consider service delivery and revenue enhancement options identified in Policy P AA CapFac-4. December 2003 65 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 13 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GMA requires public participation in the adoption and amendment of Comprehensive Plans and Development Regulations, including the preparation of Subarea Plans like the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan. Public participation efforts in the development of the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan are addressed in prior sections of this report, and have included public meetings, open houses, and various means of advertisements. Once adopted, the approved P AA Subarea Plan will require some implementing activities including interlocal agreements, and additional capital planning. Implementing activities depending on the nature of the activity may result in additional opportunities for public input in accordance with State and local laws. Also, if the Subarea Plan is amended in the future which is allowed typically on an annual basis by the GMA, other public participation efforts would be needed. Finally, the annexation process would require public notification and participation efforts pursuant to State laws. 13.1 Public Participation Goal and Policies The following goal and policy would help direct public participation efforts in the PAA. Public Participation Goal Actively seek public involvement in P AA planning efforts. Public Participation Policy PAA Pub -1 Consistent with Washington State law, the City of Federal Way recognizes annexation as a process which requires and benefits from public participation. As the City is the designated future municipal service provider to the P AA, the City should inform P AA residents, property owners, and business owners of City activities and invite participation from P AA residents, property owners, and business owners through the following efforts: a. Encourage City staff and elected officials to regularly attend civic and community organization meetings. b. Seek broad representation on boards, commISSIons, and advisory groups. c. Prior to action on City plans and regulations, seek and integrate public input through public workshops, meetings and hearings. December 2003 66 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan 14 GOVERNANCE AND INTER-JURISDICTIONAL COORDINATION In accordance with the provisions of the GMA, new development should occur in designated urban growth areas, and urban services should primarily be provided by cities. In consultation with the County, a PAA for Federal Way has been designated in which it is anticipated that the City would ultimately provide services as property owners and citizens elect to annex. This will require a transition from County governance to City governance. Additionally, GMA requires coordination between land use and services/capital planning, such as between the City of Federal Way, neighboring cities, special districts and the County, for which the Countywide Planning Policies help provide a regional framework. While some service providers would not change, such as special districts including the Lakehaven Utility District, Highline Water District, Federal Way Fire Department, and Federal Way School District, other services provided by the County including police and corrections services, surface water management, land use and building permitting, human services, and others would change. (A comparison of services and levels of service between the two agencies is identified in Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003; a detailed discussion of fiscal impacts is found in the Annexation Feasibility Study, December 2003.) Section 12 provides strategies to minimize negative impacts to public services and facilities impacted negatively by annexation. 14.1 Governance/lnterjurisdictional Goals and Policies Governance and interjurisdictional coordination would be directed by the following goal and policies. Governance/lnterjurisdictional Coordination Goal Coordinate P AA planning efforts with other neighboring jurisdictions and agencIes. Governance/lnterjurisdictional Coordination Policies P AA Gov - 1 The City shall coordinate with King County to ensure service provision and land development prior to City annexation is consistent with the goals and policies of this Plan. Methods to allow for coordination may include, but are not limited to, execution of an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Federal Way and King County to: a. Establish guidelines for development plan review, impact fees, and SEPA mitigation consistent with the P AA Subarea Plan; and December 2003 67 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PAA Proposed Final Subarea Plan b. Define service delivery responsibilities, level of service standards, and capital facility implementation consistent with the P AA Subarea Plan. P AA Gov - 2 Through regional planning efforts, the County and City should ensure P AA plans are compatible with neighboring jurisdictions, including King and Pierce Counties, and the Cities of Algona, Auburn, Edgewood, Kent, Milton, and Pacific. P AA Gov - 3 Coordinated planning efforts between the City, County, Lakehaven Utility District, Highline Water District, Puget Sound Energy, Federal Way School District and Federal Way Fire Department should continue to assure managed growth supportive of the P AA land use, annexation phasing, and service delivery objectives. 15 ANNEXATION For purposes of efficient services, coordinated land planning and development, and unity between economically and socially related areas, annexation may be desired by citizens, property owners, and the City. As noted above, the GMA provides for coordinated urban growth area planning between counties and cities with the intent that urban and urbanizing areas ultimately be served by municipalities. In the GMA framework, annexations may occur only within a jurisdiction's designated PAA. By addressing its city limits and PAA in its Comprehensive Plan, the City is responding to the GMA framework to manage growth, provide efficient services, and meet community needs in the broader Federal Way community. There are currently four methods of annexation applicable to the Federal Way PAA. . The Election Method, Initiated by Ten Percent Petition, is initiated by the collection of signatures from qualified electors in the area proposed for annexation equal to ten percent of the number of voters in the last general election in that area. This method would require an election by the residents of the area being considered for annexation. This method could be used to annex portions of or all of the P AA at a time. The Election Method, Initiated by Resolution, may be initiated by City Council resolution. This method would require an election by the residents of the area being considered for annexation. This method could be used to annex portions of or all of the P AA at a time. . December 2003 68 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan . In May 2003, legislation became effective which adopted a new "Petition Method of Annexation" designed to overcome the State Supreme Court's findings of constitutional defects in the State's previous petition method. Under the new law, the annexation petition must be signed by property owners (owning a majority of the area) and by registered voters (a majority in the area). If there are no registered voters (vacant, commercial, or industrial property, or property that has residents but no registered voters), then only owners of a majority of the area need sign. This method could be used to annex portions of or all of the P AA at a time. In July 2003, another "Island Method of Annexation" became effective. It allows a legislative body to initiate an annexation process for an urban island of territory by adopting a resolution commencing negotiations for an interlocal agreement between the initiating city and the county. At least 60 percent ofthe island must be contiguous to one or more cities. A public hearing is required by the county and the city separately or jointly, before the agreement is executed. Following adoption and execution of the agreement by both legislative bodies, the city legislative body is to adopt an ordinance providing for the annexation of the territory described in the agreement. Generally, a petition or public vote is not required. The method has a vote requirement ifproperty owners reject annexation through obtaining a certain number of petition signatures. This Island method could be used to annex all ofthe Redondo East, and/or all of the Northeast and Southeast P AAs as a whole. It may be possible to use the Island method to annex portions ofthe Major Subareas. . As identified in Section 12, no individual strategy or combination of strategies will make annexation feasible for the Major or Community Level Subareas (other than Redondo), without significant sacrifices or costs to the City in the fonn of reduced levels of service or financial impacts to citizens. Annexation of smaller areas involve portions of the cost ofthe entire PAA; therefore requests for small area annexations should be reviewed in the context ofthe annexation strategies and policies in Section 12, as well as the policies below. 15.1 Annexation Goals and Policies Annexation Goals Provide a framework for processing annexation requests. Annexation Policies P AA Annex - 1 The City should give priority consideration to annexation proposals that are financially self-sufficient or those where the fiscal impact can be improved through annexation strategies such as those identified in Policy P AA CapFac-4. As areas become feasible for annexation, such areas may be prioritized for annexation in accordance with the following: December 2003 69 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan a. Priority criteria should include: . Neighborhood willingness to annex; . Land use developability where urban densities may be achieved, rate of growth indicating City oversight of growing area would ensure compatible development with City goals and requirements, and other similar land use factors; Ability to provide a balance in costs and revenues to the City; City's ability to provide appropriate levels of service; . . . The annexation includes areas with regionally serving infrastructure that meets City of Federal Way Level-of-Service (LOS) standards. Infrastructure examples may include parks and recreation facilities, arterial roadways, regional surface water detention facilities, etc. Annexation areas containing nonconfonning infrastructure should have sufficient planning and funding mechanisms in place to assure existing LOS deficiencies are addressed. Sufficient planning mechanisms may include affected areas being addressed in capital facility plans. Sufficient funding mechanisms may include anticipated utility tax revenues from the affected area, and the establishment of a Local Improvement District to minimize any gaps in tax revenues. Logical and reasonable service areas based on Policies P AA Annex -2 and PAA Annex-3. . b. Annexation of the geographic subareas may be phased over several years. P AA Annex - 2 The City should process annexation requests in accordance with review criteria. Review criteria should include: a. The proposal meets the priority criteria of P AA Annex - 1. b. Annexations are an appropriate size. Appropriate size means an area that warrants the staff time and expense involved in processing annexation requests and complies with the goals of the GMA and the CWPPs. c. Annexations generally should not have or create abnonnally irregular boundaries. d. The annexation must, to the greatest extent possible, preserve natural neighborhoods and communities. e. The annexation proposal should use physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways, and land contours, including meeting provisions ofPAA Annex-3; December 2003 70 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan f. The annexation proposal should create and/or preserve logical service areas, including meeting provisions ofPAA Annex-3. P AA Annex 3: The City will use, but may not be limited to, the following factors in determining the specific location of an annexation proposal boundary: a. The annexation boundary, where appropriate, should adjust any impractical or irregular boundaries created in the past. b. The annexation boundary should provide a contiguous and regular boundary with current City limits. c. The annexation boundary, where appropriate, should be drawn along property and/or existing or future right-of-way boundaries. Annexation boundaries, where possible, should not be drawn along right-of-way centerlines. d. P AA roadways contiguous to a proposed annexation area should not be included within the proposed annexation boundary, unless the roadways are contiguous to current City limits. e. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a P AA King County surface water management facility, the City Public Works Department should evaluate the facility and the water basins it serves to determine whether the boundary should be modified to include the public facility. f. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a P AA public recreation facility, the City Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department should evaluate the financial feasibility of modifying the annexation boundary to include the public facility. g. When a proposed annexation includes portions of a natural lake, the annexation boundary should be modified to include or exclude the entire lake area from the proposed annexation. h. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a P AA special purpose district facility (i.e. school, fire station, etc.), the City should consult with the respective district regarding modifying the boundary to include the special purpose district facility. P AA Annex - 4 Upon annexation, properties shall be required to assume FWCP designations and zoning as found in the adopted P AA Subarea Plan (Maps VII-I and VII-2). a. The adopting ordinance for the pre-annexation plan and zoning shall specify the time interval following an annexation during which the ordinance adopting the pre-annexation plan and zoning, must remain in effect before it may be amended by the City. December 2003 71 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PM Proposed Final Subarea Plan b. Any amendment to the pre-annexation land use plan that is adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan is subject to the general GMA limitation that the comprehensive plan may be amended no more frequently than once a year, unless exceptions are met. P AA Annex - 5 Where appropriate, the City and/or County should allow development agreements in the P AA that are consistent with the approved Subarea Plan. P AA Annex - 6 The City will require owners ofland annexing into Federal Way to assume their proportion of existing City bonded indebtedness. P AA Annex - 7 The City and County will work with affected neighborhoods upon annexation to provide a smooth transition from King County to City of Federal Way administration. P AA Annex - 8 The City should establish departmental service needs prior to major annexations through a fiscal impact analysis. As revenues from each annexation area are collected, increase City services to maintain current citywide levels of service or detennine other level of service phasing, reduction, or customization as identified in Policy PAA CapFac-4. P AA Annex - 9 The City should evaluate the unincorporated lands beyond the P AA boundaries, including but not limited to, the Browns Point and Dash Point areas of Pierce County and the southwest King County "gap" area, that may be appropriate to include within the P AA. The City should work with King County and Pierce County and neighboring jurisdictions regarding the potential addition of any lands to the Federal Way PAA. 16 TECHNICAL REFERENCES TO THE SUBAREA PLAN The following technical references are available under separate cover: A.

As a baseline assessment, this study looks at the net fiscal gap the new, expanded City of Federal Way would face if the City were to annex any of the identified PAAs while trying to maintain current levels of services and current levels of taxation and fees. To account for the differences between the fiscal impacts associated with the day-to-day operation of the City and the impacts associated with needed capital investments, the study takes a three-pronged approach to assessing impacts: 1. Estimate the incremental operating costs introduced by annexation of the P AAs on an annual basis, and compare those costs to the incremental revenues the City would receive from the same areas. 2. Discuss how the balance of operating costs and revenues would be likely to change in future years. 3. Estimate the additional capital investments that the City would take on with annexation and compare those costs to the additional capital revenues the City could expect to receive from the P AAs. To provide the most intuitive and up-to-date information about estimated impacts, this analysis provides a snapshot of what the operating impacts would be if the City were in the position of fully governing each P AA in 2003. The assessment of operating impacts is based on 2003 costs of service and 2003 tax and fee structures, as outlined in the City of Federal Way 2003/2004 Adopted Budget, and is intended to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state operation. In essence, these estimated steady-state operating impacts reflect the ongoing "costs" that the City would face each year, beginning perhaps, in the third year after annexation and extending into perpetuity.! 1 In the initial years of annexation costs could be either higher or lower than the estimated steady-state impacts, depending on how the City chose to manage annexation. Among the determinants of transition-period costs will be the direct and indirect costs of managing the transition and the pace at which the City chooses to ramp up certain, discretionary service levels in the annexed area. Review Draft December 2003 A-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary Estimated costs of capital improvements are based on the most recent available data (2002) and reflect estimates of the combined investments that will be necessary through the planning horizon of 2020 (all presented in 2002 dollars). There is no material effect on this fiscal analysis from using 2003 operating costs impacts and 2002 capital costs, primarily because the capital improvement costs are expressed in current (2002) dollars regardless of when the projects may be built in the next 20 years. The purpose of estimating the hypothetical gap that would be created if the City were to try to extend current service levels to the P AAs without increasing taxes is to present decision makers and the public with a picture of the true "cost" of annexation. Ultimately, of course, any such gap between costs and revenues is hypothetical. Cities have no choice but to cover their costs of operation. Consequently, if Federal Way were to annex any ofthe PAAs, any estimated "cost" associated with annexation would have to be made up through some combination of (1) stretching City resources through decreased levels of service and/or (2) increasing City revenues. The final chapter of this analysis examines a variety of potential implementation strategies to allow the City to bridge the identified fiscal gap. The Annexation Feasibility Study provides fiscal analysis and annexation strategies that are integrated into the Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan, particularly in terms of: . Identifying public services and capital improvements that would need to be in place to serve the Subarea Plan current and future land use pattern over time, and . Incorporating into Subarea Plan policies the strategies regarding agency coordination, funding sources, future land use amendments, levels of service, and others, that could improve the financial feasibility of annexations in the P AA. In addition to informing the PAA Subarea Plan, it is intended that the Annexation Feasibility Study be used by key stakeholders - City of Federal Way, King County, PAA residents and businesses, and City residents and businesses - as annexation proposals are formulated or considered: . The City of Federal Way is considering the fiscal analysis and strategies as it formulates its policies toward annexation in the Subarea Plan. The City would also consider the analysis and strategies when individual annexation proposals and requests are submitted, to determine or improve fiscal feasibility. . King County may use the Annexation Feasibility Study to identify collaborative strategies with the City to improve the feasibility of Review Draft December 2003 A-2 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary annexation to the City, such as making available County funding sources or implementing capital improvements. The County may also use the Study as a resource when reviewing development proposals to determine capital improvements that meet City standards as well as County standards. . P AA residents and businesses may use the study to see the fiscal costs and revenues associated with annexing their area to the City, including the capital improvements that may be needed to provide City levels of service to the area. Interested parties can review the benefits and caveats associated with any of the implementation strategies and make comment to the City as annexation proposals or requests are considered. . City residents and business owners may use the study to see the fiscal costs and revenues associated with annexing an unincorporated area to the City. Interested parties can review the benefits and caveats associated with any of the implementation strategies and make comments to the City as annexation proposals or requests are considered. BACKGROUND In 1990, Washington's Growth Management Act was adopted and it encourages all unincorporated areas within King County's Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated status either through annexation or through incorporation. In the early 1990s, King County and the suburban cities adopted Countywide Planning Policies that explicitly address the status of unincorporated urban areas. Among other things, the policies call for: . Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. . The adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. . The annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the urban growth boundary within a 20-year time frame (1993 - 2013). In accordance with these principles, the City of Federal Way in conjunction with King County has retained a consultant team to prepare this fiscal analysis of the City's approved Potential Annexation Area as well as a Subarea Plan. STUDY AREA This report provides a detailed analysis of the fiscal impacts of annexing the Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast Potential Annexation Areas (P AAs) Review Draft December 2003 A-3 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary to the City of Federal Way (see Map A-I). Each of the three areas is analyzed individually, and they are analyzed in combination. Where feasible due to data availability, comments are made at a smaller community level within the larger PAA subareas (see Map A-2). This report also presents strategies for addressing the results of the fiscal impact analysis. STUDY AREA POPULATION Population data for this study covers several time periods. The data is consistent among time periods, but different periods are used in order to produce the most accurate forecast of operating and capital costs and revenues. Baseline data was developed from the last US Census and other sources that used the US Census. This enabled the study to start from a reliable base of data for the year 2000. The Operating Cost/Revenue analysis is a snapshot in time based on the City's 2003 budget and rates, with some trend analysis. As a result, population forecasts for 2003 were prepared for use in the analysis of operations. The Capital Cost/Revenue analysis covers the period 2002 through 2020 in order to provide a long-range forecast similar to other long-range planning strategies for capital. The data to support the capital improvements analysis is based on the City's PAA market population and employment forecast from 2000 to 2020. Table A-I shows the population and housing units for each Major Subarea and the total PAA for the years 2000,2002,2003, and 2020. Table A-2 identifies more detailed 2003 population and housing information for the Community Subareas in the P AA. The area included in this fiscal analysis comprises a substantial population equal to approximately 25 percent of the 2002 population of the current City of Federal Way (83,850,2002).

The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million. The cost of providing the City's levels of service in the PAA would exceed revenues from the PAA by 78 percent annually2. 2 As described elsewhere, the operational study is a snapshot of a fully operational year of costs and revenues associated with providing the P AA with the same level of service as the City of Federal Way. The study does not analyze changes in costs or revenues that are associated Review Draft A-5 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary The net operating revenue (or net costs) presented here represent the gap between operating revenues generated in each of the P AAs under the City's 2003 revenue structure and the costs of extending 2003 levels of City services to the same areas. In order to present a full picture of operating impacts, this presentation combines fiscal impacts across a number of disparate City Funds. The City would undoubtedly continue City policy that Surface Water Management costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. Such a strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM services by $538,000 (the difference between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($285,000). The remaining $3.0 million gap, then, would be bridged through some combination of other strategies. Another way of understanding the fiscal impact of the approximately $3.6 million deficit is to see how it compares to the combined revenue of the City of Federal Way and the combined Northeast/Southeast P AA annexation subareas. If Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast annexation subareas are viewed as a single City of over 105,000 population, the annual deficit of $3.6 million equals 6 percent of the combined operating revenue. It's like running a business that loses 6 percent every year. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the Southeast and Northeast areas totaling over $48.3 million. Dedicated capital revenue is anticipated to be $32.0 million through the year 2020, leaving an unfunded cost of $16.3 million (which averages $0.9 million per year through 2020). As noted above, City policy for surface water (and other enterprise activities) is to cover costs with fee revenue. Assuming that the City would use enterprise policy to cover the $4.7 million cost of stormwater capital, the remaining deficit would be $11,564,520 (which is an annual average of $642,473). In addition, the City will undoubtedly receive mitigation payments or impact fees from development in the P AA. STUDY METHODOLOGY Cost and Revenue Forecasts There are many ways to forecast costs and revenues associated with annexation. Examples include per capita analysis or estimates that are based on the experiences of a handful of so-called "comparable" cities. The City of Federal Way requested an analysis with a high degree of reliability; therefore our approach to evaluating the fiscal impacts of annexation is based on a more detailed analysis of the fundamental characteristics of the three with growth after 2003. In general, experience indicates that the cost of servicing residential growth usually exceeds the revenue generated by such growth. Review Draft December 2003 A-6 # ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary Potential Annexation Areas and comparisons of those characteristics with the defining characteristics of the existing City of Federal Way. In essence, this analysis looks at the fundamental drivers of demand for City services within the existing boundaries of Federal Way, and based on a comparison of similar drivers in the three P AAs, estimates the additional demand for each service that would be introduced by annexation of each area. In the case of law enforcement, for example, a typical assessment of service costs might be based on figures like average-cost-per-resident or the cost associated with extending police services in a manner that would maintain the City's current count of officers-per-thousand-residents. While each of these measures is attractive due to their ease of use, neither measure does a particularly good job of capturing the true demand for police services. It is not unusual, for example, for two areas with identical counts of residents to generate vastly different demands for police services (think of Tacoma and Bellevue for example). In such circumstances, providing police services based on a target number of officers-per-thousand-residents will result in significant differences in work load per officer and, therefore, large differences in true levels of police services provided. To account for the unique characteristics of the three P AAs (and to account for the many differences between the P AAs and the existing City of Federal Way) our estimates of the demand drivers for police services take into account, first, differences in the level of commercial activity among each of the areas, and second, the different characteristics of each area's residential base. Among households in each of the P AAs, our estimate of police demand distinguishes between the typical demand characteristics associated with five different combinations of housing type and tenure: (1) owner-occupied single- family homes; (2) renter-occupied single-family; (3) owner-occupied multifamily; (4) renter-occupied multifamily; and (5) mobile homes. Our estimates of the relative contribution of each of these segments of the residential base to police demand is based on a series of statistical analyses in which ECONorthwest assessed the experiences of more than 100 cities across Washington State. Other examples of drivers used in this study include: land area (solid waste and surface water services), signals/street lights/road miles/population (traffic and road maintenance services) as well as several others identified for various Departments in Chapter B. Review Draft December 2003 A-7 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary Assumptions The analysis is based on five assumptions: . Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast P AAs would receive levels of service similar to those now provided by the City of Federal Way. . The current level of service, staffing and expenditures in Federal Way is the benchmark for forecasting comparable levels of service, staffing and costs in the annexation area. This study does not evaluate whether Federal Way's existing levels of service, staffing or expenditures are acceptable or sustainable with existing resources and staffing. . Cities that have undertaken annexations in the past have found that there is a surge in demand for services after annexation. Our methodology of "drivers" and "outputs" will produce a more accurate forecast than a simple population-driven forecast, but it may not fully capture the increment of increased demand during the first few months after annexation. . Our fiscal analysis includes cost and revenue estimates only for those taxes or services that would change upon annexation. The local services that would not change include water and sewer, fire/EMS, schools, regional transit, health services, and regional parks. In other words, after annexation existing school and fire district boundaries will remain as they are, and regional transit, health and regional parks will continue to be provided by King County. . Our projections of revenues and costs for determining fiscal analysis are conservative. This means that when a forecast includes judgment as well as data, we selected lower alternatives for revenues and higher alternatives for costs. COMBINED PAA RESULTS Operations and Maintenance . Costs It will cost $8,147,300 annually for the City of Federal Way to provide Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast PAAs with the same services that are provided to current residents and businesses in the City. . Revenue The Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast areas will generate an additional $4,597,044 annually, based on the City of Federal Way's current rates for taxes, fees and charges. The cost of services for Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast areas exceeds the additional revenue the area generates by $3,550,256 annually. The deficit is equal to . Balance Review Draft A-a December 2003 Capital Improvements . Costs . Revenue . Balance ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary 78 percent of annual revenue. The City would undoubtedly continue City policy that Surface Water Management (SWM) costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. Such a strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM services by $538,000 (the difference between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($285,000). The remaining $3.0 million gap, then, would be bridged through some combination of other strategies. The cost of parks, roads and stormwater capital improvements to provide Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast P AAs with the same levels of service that are provided to current residents and businesses in the City will cost $48,315,520. The Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast areas will generate an additional $32,032,000 by 2020, based on the City of Federal Way's current rates for real estate excise taxes and utility taxes and estimated transportation grants. The cost of capital improvements for Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast areas exceeds the revenue the area generated by the year 2020 by $16,283,520 (which is an annual average of $904,640). As noted in the Conclusions, above, City policy for surface water (and other enterprise activities) is to cover costs with fee revenue. Assuming that the City would use enterprise policy to cover the $4.7 million cost of stormwater capital, the remaining deficit would be $11,564,520 (which is an annual average of $642,473). In addition, the City will undoubtedly receive mitigation payments or impact fees from development in the P AA. It is not possible to forecast these revenues (as described in Chapters G and H), but they would reduce the size of the deficit. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES The following are highlights of strategies that can be used to address the fiscal impacts of annexing Redondo East, Northeast and Southeast P AAs to the City of Federal Way. Review Draft December 2003 A-9 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary STATE AND COUNTY SUPPORT The City could indicate that its ability to annex the Southeast and Northeast Subareas is contingent upon the State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of such annexations. Examples of such resources include: New Local Option Sales Tax In 2003, the State Legislature passed a measure authorizing King County to submit for voter approval, a Countywide, voter approved sales tax increase of 0.3 percent. Forty percent of the tax would be distributed to cities based on population. A preliminary estimate of the revenue from the local option sales tax indicates approximately $600,000 per year would be available for the annexation area (and an additional $2.4 million per year for the City of Federal Way's existing population). State Incentives Federal Way could apply for a special grant or direct State appropriation from Washington's Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development to underwrite some portion of the fiscal impacts of implementing Washington's Growth Management Act by annexing Redondo East, Southeast and/or Northeast P AA subareas. County Mitigation Payment System King County has a Mitigation Payment System (a form of road impact fee). If the County has money that it has collected from the Potential Annexation Area but not yet spent or committed, the County could provide the revenue to the City or use it for capital improvements to help the road system in the annexation area. State Grants for Capital Improvements There are a number of state and federal grant programs for local government capital improvements, as described in the chapter on capital revenues. These include grants for parks, roads, and other capital improvements. The City could offer to share the matching cost of grants that King County could apply for and use to improve facilities in Federal Way's PAA. County Incentives In August 2003, it was reported that King County will offer a total of $10 million to a number of cities that annex unincorporated areas in their potential annexation areas. Details were not announced, and will depend on the County's budget decisions. Review Draft December 2003 A-10 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary LOCAL TAXPAYERS SHARE EQUALLY THE COST OF ANNEXATION The City could use one or more general taxes to have all taxpayers in Federal Way and the combined annexation area share in paying the annual operating deficit. Property Taxes (Voted Excess Levy) A property tax levy increase of $0.50 per $1,000 of taxable property would be needed to generate the additional $3.6 million in operating revenue ($150 per year on a $300,000 home). The property tax levy could only be imposed if approved by a majority of voters. Since Federal Way is already at the maximum allowable levy, the excess levy would need to be submitted annually for voter approvaL". Utility Tax Raising current utility taxes (6 percent) to 8.3 percent would generate an additional $3.6 million and eliminate the operating deficit. Increases of utility taxes in excess of 6 percent require an election to obtain approval of a majority of voters. This strategy would also require a change in policy by the City of Federal Way. Current policy is to use the majority of City utility taxes for capital improvements, rather than operating costs. The City could designate the additional utility tax for operating costs associated with annexation, but that would deprive the City of the same revenue to provide capital improvements in the Potential Annexation Area. Business Tax Federal Way could impose a Business and Occupation (B&O) tax of 0.18 of one percent to eliminate the operating deficit ($180 per $100,000 of gross sales). Alternatively, the City could use its business licensing authority in a manner similar to Redmond to establish a business license charge ("head tax") of $138 per employee per year to eliminate the operating deficit. Combination The City could spread the responsibility among the three types of taxes. If each tax paid for an equal share of the deficit, the property tax would increase approximately $0.17 per $1,000 taxable value, the utility tax would increase to 6.7 percent, and the business tax would be either 0.06 percent of gross receipts, or $46 per employee. " The 2003 Legislature approved, and the Governor signed, 2ESSB5659, which allows property tax increases of up to 6 percent for periods up to 6 years, subject to voter approval. Continuation of the increased levy would require voter approval every 6 years. Review Draft December 2003 A-11 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary Voted General Obligation Bonds for Capital Improvements A city can ask voters to approve long-term debt in the form of a general obligation bond that is used to build capital improvements. Typical bond issues provide the borrowed money "up front" to pay for the new capital improvements as quickly as possible. The bonds are repaid over a period of time (typically 20 years) from a special property tax that is approved as part of the ballot measure that authorizes the bonds. Voted general obligation bonds are typically used for parks, but not usually used for roads. Enterprise Fund Revenue Like many cities, Federal Way has a policy that costs of enterprise funds, such as Surface Water Management and Solid Waste are to be covered by user fees. Such a strategy would require increased fees and/or decreased levels of services. Federal Way could increase user fees throughout the City and P AA for its stormwater utility and/or solid waste utility and use the proceeds to offset the increased cost of providing those services in the P AA. TAX BASE EXPANSION A long-term strategy for Federal Way could be to increase City revenue by increasing the tax base in the P AA or the tax base in the current City limits. Some businesses, like automobile dealerships, generate significantly more tax revenue than the cost of the public services they receive. Federal Way could explore land use planning, zoning, and economic development strategies in the P AA and/or the City to attract such businesses. Specific techniques could include "planned actions" under SEP A, or special overlay zoning districts. Caveat The City of Federal Way and the PAAs currently have vacant and underdeveloped land to absorb decades of anticipated commercial growth. Given that developable land is not a constraining factor in attracting development, the only way that rezoning or other land use actions in the P AA would result in an incremental increase in development would be if the action created a specific opportunity for development that does not currently exist in the City or PAA. For instance, parcels in the PAA that are highly visible from highways may provide unique development opportunities. CREATE SPECIAL LIMITED DISTRICTS IN ANNEXATION AREAS TO PAY FOR SPECIFIC COSTS Washington law allows the creation of limited special purpose districts for a number of purposes, such as roads, parks, transportation, and "local improvements." Voter approval is required to create special districts that have taxing authority. Property owner approval is required to create special districts that use special assessments. Review Draft December 2003 A-12 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary Caveat There is some risk associated with using special districts as a strategy to pay for providing urban levels of service to Redondo East, Southeast and Northeast subareas. A vote on creating a special taxing district would occur subsequent to an annexation vote. If voters approve annexation, but do not approve the creation of the district(s), the City would be left with insufficient money to provide its level of service. REDUCED OR PHASED INCREASES OF LEVEL OF SERVICE TO MATCH FEDERAL WAY'S STANDARDS Reduced level of Service Another way for the City to address the difference in levels of service between Federal Way and the County would be to permanently provide a lower level of service for one or more services. The reduction could be Citywide (i.e., lower park standards) or just in the annexation areas (e.g. lower pavement rating). Currently the City is meeting 10.1 acres of parks per 1,000 population but has adopted a standard of 10.9 acres per 1,000 population. Phased Increases in Level of Service One of the main reasons for the significant fiscal impact of annexing Redondo East, Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas is the difference in levels of service provided by Federal Way and King County. The City provides an urban level of service that is typical of a municipality, and King County provides a rural level of service that is commensurate with unincorporated areas. One strategy for addressing the difference in level of service would be to phase-in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. Phasing would reduce costs during the transition, and it would provide Federal Way with time to recruit and hire personnel and acquire facilities and equipment needed to serve the annexation area at Federal Way's level of service. Phased levels of service could involve contracting with King County, as described in Chapter I. Caveat Eventually, phased levels of service will grow to equal the standards achieved by the City of Federal Way. When that occurs, service levels will be the same throughout the City, and the City will experience the full fiscal impacts of those levels of service. A strategy of phasing levels of service postpones, but does not avoid the full fiscal impact of annexation. Review Draft December 2003 A-13 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Executive Summary PHASED ANNEXATION OF REDONDO EAST, SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEAST MAJOR SUBAREAS This strategy would involve annexing those areas that are financially self- supporting first and then annexing other areas later, perhaps in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations. Phased annexation based on fiscal impacts could be accomplished by annexing Redondo first because it has no cash deficit based on operating expenses. The Northeast P AA subarea or portions thereof could be annexed next because its costs exceed revenues by 61 percent. Last to be annexed would be the Southeast PAA subarea, because its costs are more than double the revenue it would generate (i.e., the deficit is 105 percent). Phasing can also be accomplished by smaller areas, such as community subareas. For example, if community subareas were annexed in order of their fiscal impact (from least to most net operating cost), the following would be the phasing sequence: North Lake, Lakeland, Star Lake, Jovita, Camelot, and Parkway. If other Implementation Strategies are considered and employed to determine phasing for annexation the order might be different than the preceding list. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS - STRATEGIES The purpose of the Annexation Feasibility Study is to estimate the long-term fiscal impact annexation would have on the City of Federal Way. The findings can be viewed as costly (i.e., $3.6 million per year) or bearable (i.e., the shortfall is only 6% of the City's annual budget). The Implementation Strategies identified in this Annexation Feasibility Study provide a menu of options that the City can employ to respond to a variety of factors in each subarea in order to improve the financial feasibility of annexation. Financial feasibility, however, is not the only determinant of annexation. While fiscal strategies have been integrated into the related P AA Subarea Plan, there are other issues considered in annexation, such as natural environment, land use, housing, public facilities and services, public participation, governance and interjurisdictional coordination, and other topics as identified in the Subarea Plan. In considering specific annexation requests or proposals, City officials can review the menu of Implementation Strategies and tailor an annexation approach that meets City policy objectives.

Â Fëd.raI Way Map A-2 ,JI1I1...~............1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Operating Costs This component of the Analysis of Fiscal Impacts of Annexation examines the impacts that annexation would have on the day-to-day costs of operations for the City of Federal Way. In later sections of the analysis, this operating cost assessment will be combined with revenue estimates to identify the "net annual cost" of extending City services to the three study areas: the Northeast, Southeast, and Redondo Potential Annexation Subareas. The current analysis seeks to answer one hypothetical question: If one or more of the study areas were a fully-functioning part of the City of Federal Way in 2003, how much additional operating revenue would the City need to extend its existing levels of day-to-day services to those areas? Answering this question involves assessing both the direct costs of service (costs of additional patrol officers, road maintenance workers, the costs of facilities and equipment, etc.) as well as the indirect costs of supporting those services (e.g. impacts associated with increased demands on City support functions including things like Human Resources, City Management, and Finance). We describe this form of analysis as identifying the "fully loaded" impacts associated with extending City services to a given potential annexation area (PAA). In addition to assessing the budgetary impacts of annexation, capturing a fully loaded cost also requires tracking the impacts on City staffing. Including these impacts is necessary for an accounting of costs associated with securing office and maintenance facility space-real costs that frequently are not captured in a city's annual operating budget. The City of Federal Way has recently acquired an 87,000 square foot building for the new City HalL This new facility may provide additional space to accommodate future staffing needs associated with annexations. It should be noted, however, that estimates of the space requirements for new employees included in this Annexation Feasibility Study do not reflect the space- planning analysis performed as part of the City's planning for the new City Hall. Our analysis is based on an assessment of each of the operating departments and divisions in Federal Way's organization structure. Estimated costs for direct service divisions are based on an assessment of each division's 2003 budgeted costs coupled with an assessment of the incremental demand for services the division could expect to see if it were to serve one or all of the P AA Subareas. Review Draft December 2003 B-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Estimates of the incremental demand introduced by annexation are based on "demand drivers" that help describe (1) an operating division's current demand for services and (2) the additional demand that would be introduced with annexation of each P AA Subarea. The consultant team worked with representatives of each department to identify demand drivers that were both appropriate and workable (i.e. drivers for which reliable data were available in both the City and the PAAs). SUMMARY OF FINDINGS With a combined estimated 2003 population of slightly less than 21,500, annexation of the three PAA Subareas would increase Federal Way's population by roughly 25 percent. If annexation of the three Subareas were to increase Federal Way's operating costs by the same 25 percent increment, then the 2003 cost impact would be in the range of $9.5 million. Based on our assessment of the three P AA Subareas, however, we estimate that the cost impact of annexation will be somewhat lower than 25 percent of the City's existing operating costs. For all three PAA Subareas combined, we estimate annual operating cost impacts of roughly $8.1 million. In per- resident terms (based on our estimate of 2003 population in the P AA Subareas) this translates into a cost of $380 per P AA resident (Table B-1). Table B-1: Operating Costs by Department by Potential Annexation Area (2003) Northeast Southeast PM PM Redondo Total City Council $26,000 $26,000 $1,000 $53,000 City Manager $193,000 $204,000 $10,000 $407,000 Community Development $299,000 $221,000 $13,300 $533,300 Law $129,000 $136,000 $6,000 $271,000 Management Services . $182,000 $187,000 $7,000 $376,000 Parks & Recreation $55,000 $406,000 $1,000 $462,000 Public Safety $1,651,000 $1,780,000 $98,000 $3,529,000 Public Works $1,457,000 $1,038,000 $21,000 $2,516,000 Total $3,992,000 $3,998,000 $157,300 $8,147,300 Costs per Resident $325 $449 $605 $380 Source: ECONorthwest analysis. Note: See the following discussion under the section headings of Key Assumptions and Departmental Detail for a thorough discussion of the assumptions. methods, and analytic steps that underlie the above figures. Review Draft December 2003 B-2 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Among the three Subareas, the Northeast P AA exhibits the lowest operating costs per residents: estimated at $325. Factors that contribute to that lower cost include (1) anticipated lower demand for public safety services per resident when compared to the Southeast and Redondo Subareas; (2) the absence of active park facilities that the City would have to maintain and operate, compared with substantial facilities in the Southeast P AA; and (3) the Northeast's higher population densities, which reduce the per-capita costs of infrastructure maintenance (including roads and surface water maintenance systems). We estimate that the total PAA cost increases will be accompanied by a total increase in City staffing of 66.2 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees (Table B-2). Similar to the costs, the largest share of employee increases would be associated with annexation of the Southeast P AA Subarea. Table B-2: Estimated Staffing Increases by Department by Potential Annexation Area (2003) Northeast Southeast PAA PAA Redondo Total City Council City Manager 1.70 1.80 0.10 3.60 Community Development 3.00 2.20 5.20 Law 1.00 1.10 2.10 Management Services ' 2.40 4.90 2.50 Parks & Recreation 0.50 3.80 4.30 Public Safety 15.40 16.60 0.90 32.90 Public Works 7.40 5.70 0.10 13.20 Total 31.40 33.70 1.10 66.20 Source: ECONorthwest analysis. Our goal in generating these staffing impact estimates is not to precisely "predict" the staffing actions the City Council would actually take upon annexation of one or all of the P AA Subareas. Rather, our goal is to try to accurately quantify the additional workload that each City department would be likely to see upon annexation, both in terms of dollars and staffing. In generating these staffing estimates, we recognize that departmental staffing is an inherently "lumpy" process. If, for example, Federal Way were to annex only the Redondo area, it is unlikely that many City departments would add any new staff. We recognize, too, that some departments may currently be operating at a greater staffing deficit than others, so adding even a small amount of additional demand on those already constrained functions could trigger the hiring of additional staff. Finally, we recognize that, since an annexation area almost never brings additional revenues that Review Draft B-3 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs precisely balance new costs, it is almost always the case that annexation of an area will result in a change in the overall levels of service that a city provides, both to existing and new constituents. Given that staffing is "lumpy" (departments don't typically add 0.1 FTEs), and given that we estimate FTE impacts on a fractional basis, one thing we can say with certainty is that, upon annexation, some of Federal Way's departments would see staffing and cost increases in excess of those estimated here, while others would see staffing and cost increases that are lower than our estimates suggest. Ultimately, decisions about where additional staff are placed within the City's departmental structure will require thoughtful discussion among City staff and policy makers. Without pre-judging how those decisions will play out, and without pre-judging which divisions are likely to see their staffing impact rounded up or down, our goal here is to get the cost impact right, on average. The bottom line is that, ultimately, these estimated impacts are just that- estimates. In no way can a blanket estimation methodology replace the governmental process of carefully weighing competing demands for scarce City resources in the context of day-to-day demands for City services. The following sections provide a more detailed discussion of the methods and assumptions we used to develop the broad cost impacts reported above. The section immediately following identifies some of the overarching assumptions that we used in our analysis. The remaining eight sections provide a more detailed discussion of the methods and findings for different City departments and operating divisions. KEY ASSUMPTIONS . Year 2008 impacts:\ll operating cost estimates are based on the City of Federal Way's 2003 budgeted expenditures as reported in the City 0/ Federal Way 2003/2004 Adopted Budget. For those service categories that use population as a driver, we used an estimated 2003 City population of 84,250, which we generated based on the 2002 Office of Financial Management population estimate of 83,850, combined with recent trends in the City's annual population gains. For the three Potential Annexation Areas, we estimated 2003 populations of 12,300 for the Northeast Subarea, 8,900 for the Southeast, and 260 for Redondo. We generated these population estimates by extending our analysis that generated the original 2002 population figures-combining 2000 census counts by census block, housing unit counts from the King County Assessor tax parcel accounts, and recently-permitted housing units as tracked by King County and the Puget Sound Regional Council. Review Draft December 2003 B-4 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs . Recognize economies of scalèNhen people think about extending city services to additional constituent groups, it is tempting to believe that cities have far-reaching opportunities to take advantage of economies of scale. Once you have a City Manager, people reason, the costs of extending that manager's duties to include oversight of additional constituencies should be relatively low. Our experience suggests, however, that while opportunities for economies of scale do exist in cities, those opportunities are much more limited than one might think. If one looks at the hundreds of cities in Washington State, for example, and examines the relationship between a city's population and the costs of operating that city's Office of City Manager, one will find that the relationship between the size of a city and its costs of management are, in fact, closely linked. Our analyses of city governments suggests that, on average, a 10 percent increase in a city's population will translate into an 8 percent increase in the costs of maintaining that city's executive functions. To account for these real, but limited, economies of scale, we adjust departmental budgets to exclude the costs of maintaining the Departmental Director position. For the Department of Community Development Services, for instance, we exclude from our cost basis a round figure of $110,000 to account for the Departmental Director's salary and benefits, and we exclude the Director's one FTE from our departmental staffing basis. DEPARTMENTAL DETAil The following sections provide a more detailed discussion of our estimates of the cost impacts that annexation would have on each of Federal Way's service departments. We track each ofthe City's operating divisions under one of three categories: (1) direct services divisions, which include those divisions like police services, planning, street maintenance, and surface water management, that provide services directly to the public; (2) citywide indirect services, which provide support to all City functions, include service divisions like Finance, City Clerk, and Human Resources of the divisions of the City's Department of Management Services; and (3) departmental indirect services, which include the Administration divisions of each of the direct service departments. The section immediately to follow discusses each of the direct service divisions, along with the departmental indirect Administration divisions of Public Works; Public Safety; Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services; and Community Development Services. The later major section then goes on to Review Draft December 2003 8-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs address cost estimates for those remaining operating divisions that provide citywide indirect services. DIRECT AND DEPARTMENT INDIRECT SERVICE DIVISIONS The following four sub-sections discuss estimates of the incremental demand for direct services that would be introduced by annexation of each of the three P AA Subareas. As noted above, estimated cost impacts on direct service divisions are based on estimates of the incremental demand for each service category coupled with the City's existing cost basis for that category, as reflected in the City's 2003 budgeted costs. In most cases, costs for the departmental indirect Administration divisions are driven by anticipated increase in departmental staffing. For example, if our estimates of the necessary staffing increases for the direct service divisions of Department of Community Development called for increasing staffing in those divisions by a total of 25 percent, then the increase in allocable administrative costs and staffing would also increase by 25 percent (adjusted to exclude the one FTE and the salary and benefits costs of the Departmental Director). PUBLIC SAFETY, CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, AND MUNICIPAL COURT Our analysis assumes that the demand for public safety services will also drive demand for two service divisions that fall outside of the City's Department of Public Safety. These two divisions are the Division of Criminal Prosecution, which is one component of Federal Way's Department of Law (and includes the cost of publicly-provided legal defense of indigent defendants), and the Municipal Court Division of the Department of the City Manager. The rationale behind this aggregation of disparate divisions is that, in many instances, the demand for Criminal Prosecution and Municipal Court services are closely related to the demand for direct Public Safety servIces. We should note that Public Safety services also includes the costs of adult detention-a cost that is included within the Support Services Division of the Department of Public Safety. In many instances in this analysis, our estimates of the incremental demand for services from annexation are based on characteristics that are directly measurable. For example, the costs of extending street maintenance services to each P AA Subarea are based on the miles of public streets found in each area. Unfortunately, however, no such directly measurable data are available for estimating the demand for public safety and related services. Review Draft December 2003 8-6 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs For purposes of this analysis, the King County Sheriffs Office chose not to provide historical data on the demand for public safety services in any of the P AA Subareas. To make up for this lack of data, the project team chose to use an alternative estimation method. This alternative method is one ECONorthwest first developed for a prior annexation analysis, a method that we have since extended and improved. In the case of law enforcement, a typical assessment of service costs might be based on figures like average-cost-per-resident or costs associated with maintaining a certain, target number of officers-per-thousand-residents. While these measures are easy to use, neither measure does a particularly good job of accounting for the true demand for police services. It is not unusual for two areas with identical counts of residents to generate vastly different demands for police services. In such circumstances, providing police services based on a target number of officers-per-thousand-residents will result in vast differences in work load per officer and, therefore, vast differences in true levels of police services. To account for the unique characteristics of the three P AAs (and to account for the differences between the PAAs and the existing City of Federal Way) our estimates of the demand drivers for police services take into account, first, differences in the level of commercial activity among each of the areas, and second, the different characteristics of each area's residential base. Among households in each of the P AAs, our estimate of police demand distinguishes between households who live in (1) owner-occupied single- family homes, (2) renter-occupied single-family homes, (3) owner-occupied multifamily, (4) renter-occupied multifamily, and (5) mobile homes. Our estimates of the relative contribution of each of these segments of the residential base to police demand is based on a series of analyses in which ECONorthwest assessed the experiences of more than 100 cities across Washington State. In essence, our estimate of police demand splits Federal Way's provision of police services into two segments: (1) those police resources that are dedicated to providing police services to the residential base (75 percent of the Department's resources) and (2) those resources that are dedicated to policing commercial areas and activities (the remaining 25 percent of the resources). Ultimately, because the Northeast and Southeast P AAs have substantially less commercial activity than current-day Federal Way, our estimates suggest that policing of commercial areas and activities in these two P AAs will absorb substantially less than the 25 percent share the Department experiences in current-day Federal Way (a finding that should not be a surprise to anyone). Due to differences in housing type and tenure, however, Review Draft December 2003 B-7 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs we estimate that, on a per capita basis, the Southeast P AA will generate greater levels of police demand than the Northeast. Estimates of demand for public safety services in each Subarea are based on an estimate that 75 percent of the City's existing public service resources are dedicated to providing services to the City's base of roughly 84,000 residents, while 25 percent of service provision is dedicated to policing commercial areas and activities. Estimates of the increase in residential service demand for each of the P AA Subareas is based on ECONorthwest analysis of more than 100 cities in Washington State in which we examined the relationship between the costs of police services and each city's fundamental characteristics, including measures like counts of households, housing type and tenure, and population densities. 1 We applied the coefficients of this estimation model to residential components of the City of Federal Way and each of the three PAA Subareas to identify the incremental demand that would be introduced by the residential components of the P AAs. Estimates of commercially-driven components of demand were based on comparisons of retail employment in the City and the P AAs. Ultimately, the combination of estimated residential and commercial demand suggested that, combined, the three P AAs would increase the demand for public safety services by 22.3 percent (Table B-3).

Northeast PAA 10.4% Total 22.3% Southeast PAA 11.2% Redondo 0.6% For the Department of Public Safety, we adjusted 2003 budgeted costs in three ways to arrive at a cost basis for extension to each of the P AAs. First, as discussed previously, we excluded $110,000 to roughly account for the salary and benefits of the departmental director. Second, we excluded the City's reimbursed costs of providing policing services to Federal Way schools and SeaTac Mall. Third, we subtracted the costs the Department incurs to lease its facilities (a cost which we account for separately). Ultimately, of the 1 The model generated through this statistical analysis found that, among 138 Washington State cities, 96% of the variation in police activities could be "explained" by the variation in the measured components. Review Draft B-8 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Department's budgeted $16.28 million expenditures, we used $15.62 million as our cost basis for extending services to the P AAs. Combining the above cost basis with the above estimates of increased demand, we estimated $3.5 million of increased Public Safety costs and a 32.9 FTE increase in publicly funded staffing (Tables B-4 and B-5). Given this staffing increase, we estimated an additional $122,000 in facility costs- which reflects a need for 185 square feet of building space per FTE (a number that is based on Departmental analysis) at an estimated annual cost of $20 per square foot. In total we estimated increases of $3.529 million for Public Safety costs (Table B-4). Estimated Municipal Court Division costs are based on the service demand increase in each Subarea multiplied by the 2003 budgeted expenditures for the division. Likewise, Criminal Prosecution Service cost impacts were based on budgeted expenditures for the division, although we reduced this cost basis by $22,000 to account for the division's 20 percent share of the costs of the City Attorney (who serves as the Director of the Law Department).2 Table 8-4: Annual Public Safety, Criminal Prosecution, and Municipal Court Cost Impacts (2003 Dollars) Northeast Southeast Department Division PM PM Redondo ' Total Public Safety Administration 156,000 168,000 9,000 333,000 Public Safety Support Services 690,000 744,000 41,000 1,475,000 Public Safety Field Operations 805,000 868,000 48,000 1,721,000 Division Public Safety Total 1,651,000 1,780,000 98,000 3,529,000 Law Criminal Prosecution 64,000 69,000 4,000 137,000 Services City Manager Municipal Court 133,000 143,000 8,000 284,000 Source: ECONorthwest analysis. . In estimating demand for Public Safety Services in Redondo, we adjusted our estimates of demand drivers by treating the area's mobile homes as single family homes, thereby reducing estimated demand for services in the Redondo PAA. The basis for this adjustment is a recognition that the residents of area mobile homes are older (with a median age exceeding 63 years of age in the 2000 census) and an assessment by the Federal Way Department of Public Safety that found the frequency of calls for services in the area of mobile homes in Redondo to be roughly consistent with the frequency typically found in single family neighborhoods. 2 We assumed rough costs of $110,000 for salary and benefits for each Departmental Director and the City Manager.

Estimated FTE impacts include only City funded FTEs. Extension of current City service levels to the PAA could include additional public safety FTEs for provision of services to schools in the PAAs. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Of the five direct service divisions included in Federal Way's Department of Community Development Services, we assume that one-the Division of Economic Development-will be largely unaffected by annexation.3 Estimates of demand for the remaining four divisions are based on either the population of the three P AA Subareas or are based on a combination of population and commercial activity (estimated in terms of employment). Based on conversations with City staff, we estimate that workload for the Planning Division is driven by residential-related activity (45 percent of demand) and commercial/employment activity (55 percent of demand). 4 Conversely, for the Building Division, we estimate that residential activity drives a larger share of demand for services (55 percent), while commercial/employment drives the lesser share (45 percent). For the 3 To the extent that there are vacant or underdeveloped properties in the P AAs that could at some time be the subject of some need for Economic Development Services assistance (marketing, inquiry by out of town developer or commercial interest, etc.), the Economic Development Division probably wouldbe marginally impacted by an annexation. However, given the likelihood that these impacts would be relatively minor, the consultant team and the administrative staff of the Department of Comm unity Development Services chose to make the simplifying assumption of zero impact on the Economic Development Division. 4 Upon review of the methodological estimate of cost and staffing impacts on the Planning Division, overall staffing impacts were increased by 0.5 FTEs based on input by Planning staff to account for long-term planning activities associated with the Northeast and Southeast PAAs. Review Draft December 2003 8-10 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Neighborhood Development Divisions, we assume that activities are driven strictly by the number of residents. Federal Way's Human Services Division is charged, among other things, with directing the expenditure of federally-funded Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). If the City were to annex any of the three Subareas, the amount of the annual CDBG grants would increase, and these additional dollars would then be expended under the direction of the City's CDBG coordinator. To simplify the analysis, we have excluded both CDBG revenues and expenditures from our analysis to concentrate on those Human Services activities that are funded by the City of Federal Way's General Fund revenues. In 2003, these General Fund expenditures are budgeted at roughly $577,000, or $7 per resident. We assumed that, as with the Neighborhood Development Division, direct Human Services expenditures would be driven by the number of residents served.

In total, of the $4.1 million expenditures budgeted for the Department of Community Development Services in 2003, we included slightly more than $3.2 million in our expenditure bases for determination of service provision costs in the PAA. (The difference between the $4.1 million total and the $3.2 million allocated reflects the non-General Fund CDBG revenues and an estimated $110,000 in the Administration Division for the Director's salary and benefits.) In total, we estimated a 15.7 percent increase in demand for non-CDBG Community Development services in the three PAA Subareas, at a cost of roughly $510,000. We also estimated total necessary staffing increases of 4.8 FTEs, with the largest share of the increases coming in the Building and Planning divisions (Table B-8). At an assumed floor area requirement of 250 square feet per FTE and annual costs of $20 per square foot, we added slightly more than $24,000 in facility costs to arrive at total additional costs of $533,300 for the department as a whole (Table B-7).

PARKS, RECREATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES Currently, King County maintains five parks within the three P AA Subareas: two largely undeveloped open space areas in the Northeast P AA (Bingamon Pond and Camelot Park) and three active parks in the Lakeland neighborhood of the Southeast P AA (Five Mile Lake Park, Lake Geneva Park, and South County Ballfields). Given this distribution of existing facilities, a large portion of the impact to Federal Way's Parks and Recreation Department would come from the annexation of the Southeast P AA in general, and the Lakeland Neighborhood in particular. Recreation Services Estimates of the additional demand for recreation services that would be introduced by annexation are based, primarily, on the judgment of City Recreation Services Division staff. Based on experience in other cities, and Review Draft December 2003 B-12 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs based on conversations with staff, we assume that Federal Way's existing Recreation Division already provides substantial recreation services to the residents in the P AAs. If we assumed that newly annexed residents would represent a completely new source of demand for recreation services, then we would estimate that incremental demand on a per-resident basis. However, since many of the residents of these areas already enjoy recreation services at facilities within the City, we assume that increases in demand for these services will relate to the number of residents in newly annexed areas only on a fractional basis. Again, based on the judgments of City staff, for those P AA Subareas with no active park facilities, we assume that annexation will introduce additional demand equal to 25 percent of the increase in population. The rationale behind this assumption is that these people have been coming into the City for recreation options in the past, and even with annexation, they will continue to seek the same kinds of opportunities at the same locations (at least in the near term). Under this rationale, the assumption of a 25 percent increase in demand for recreational services is intended to capture a shift in the mindset of residents in the annexation areas. As residents of newly annexed areas begin to think of themselves as City residents, the assumption is that these residents will begin to more freely avail themselves of the City's Parks and Recreation services. For the Southeast P AA, we assume incremental demand equal to 50 percent of the increase in population, reflecting a similar shift in mindset combined with the need for the City Recreation Division to assume responsibility for recreation services for the three active parks. Park Maintenance Estimates of the costs of the day-to-day maintenance of the existing parks in the P AA Subareas are based on assessments provided to the consultant team by the City's Parks Maintenance Division. These assessments included estimates of staffing costs, the costs of materials and small equipment, and the annualized costs of the additional large equipment that would be necessary to maintain the three active parks in the Southeast P AA. To ensure consistency with the methods used elsewhere in this analysis, we also accounted for the impacts in the Park Maintenance "overhead" costs, which include loaded intergovernmental costs like Building M&O, Data Processing, GIS, etc. In addition to the costs introduced by the active parks of the Southeast P AA, Parks Maintenance staff report that the passive parks of the Northeast P AA would introduce a small demand for their services. Review Draft December 2003 8-13 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs Administration In contrast to the method we used to estimate incremental demand for administrative functions in other departments (which were driven by incremental increases in FTEs in the direct service divisions) we estimated the impacts on Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Administration based on the relative increase in the department's overall budget. Due to the high staff counts in the Recreation Division and the relatively low average cost of those FTEs, if we had used the department's FTE impacts as the driver for Administration increases we would have, in effect, been emphasizing the role of Recreation Services as the driver of the City's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Administration. Given current parks facilities, annexation of the Northeast and Redondo P AA Subareas would not result in large increases in demand for the services of the City's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services (Table B-9). Annexation of the Southeast P AA, however, would have a more dramatic effect. Table 8-9: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services-Estimated Incremental Demand by Division and Subarea (2003) Northeast Southeast Division PAA PAA Redondo Total Administration 1.1% 7.8% 0.0% 8.9% Recreation 3.6% 5.3% 0.1% 9.0% Park Maintenance 0.2% 14.1% 0.0% 14.3% Source: ECONorthwest analysis and Federal Way Parks Maintenance Division estimates. In total, we estimate that annexation of the three P AA Subareas combined would introduce demand for 4.30 additional FTEs in the Department (Table B-11), and when we combine the service impacts with the facilities costs necessary to support these additional staff, we estimate total Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department cost impacts of $462,000 (Table B-1O).5 5 For estimates of facilities costs to support additional FTEs, we distinguish between office and maintenance staff. As discussed previously, we estimate facility costs for one additional office staff based on an assumed requirement of 250 square feet per FTE, at an annual cost of $20 per square foot (resulting in an annual cost of $5,000 per FTE. For maintenance FTE, we assume the need for 200 square feet of maintenance shop space per FTE, annualized building costs of roughly $8 per square foot (or $1,600 per FTE), and yard space requirements of 10,000 square feet (a floor area ratio of 0.02), with total annualized land costs of $6,400. For maintenance staff, therefore, we estimate total facilities costs of $8,000 per FTE.

PUBLIC WORKS Estimates of impacts for the five direct service divisions of Public Works are based on specific assessments of the services provided and the probable drivers of demand in the three P AA Subareas. Development Services To capture the impact that both commercial and residential development have on the demand for Development Services, we base our estimate of incremental demand for these services on the relative taxable assessed values of real property in each of the three P AA Subareas. The ratio of these assessed values (which include residential, commercial, and yet-undeveloped properties) to the overall assessed value of the City of Federal represents the estimated increase in demand for Development Services the City would see upon annexation. Using this approach, we estimate total incremental demand of 21.8 percent (Table B-14), which reflects a 2002 assessed value of $5.67 billion for the City compared with $717 million, $501 million, and $19 million in the Northeast, Southeast, and Redondo P AA Subareas respectively. Review Draft December 2003 8-15 ANNEXATION FEASIBiliTY STUDY Operating Costs Traffic Our estimate of incremental demand for Traffic Services is based on a combination of four factors, each weighted according to their contribution to 2003 budgeted costs: (1) the number of traffic signals in the P AAs versus the number currently in the City (weighted at 24 percent); (2) the number of street lights (weighted at 22 percent); (3) the overall number of road miles (which relates to street signs [weighted at 9 percent]); and (4) population (capturing "other" traffic services demand [weighted at 45 percent]). Table 8-12: Traffic Demand Driver Values Northeast Southeast Federal Way PAA PAA Redondo Signals 75 12 2 Street Lights 1,444 561 190 10 Road Miles 256.00 46.60 28.90 0.30 Population 84,250 12,300 8,900 260 Source: King County Road Division inventory reports by PAA Subarea, January 2002, City of Federal Way 2003/2004 Adopted Budget, conversations with City staff, and ECONorthwest analysis. Note: The number of PAA road miles is based upon King County Road Division databases and include improved rights of way as of the date of the inventory database in January 2002. Based upon the PAA Inventory, March 18, 2002, between 1 and 2 miles of public local streets were added in the PAA Parkway neighborhood as of March 2002 but were not in the January 2002 King County Road database, as there may be time lags in database updates. If 1.5 miles is added to the Southeast PAA total, it would add a fractional cost of $20,000 to the total $2.5 million Public Works cost. For all three Subareas combined, analysis of these four drivers suggests that demand for traffic services would increase by 32 percent in the event of annexation (Table B-14). Streets Maintenance Estimated demand for street maintenance is based on comparisons of road miles in the three PAA Subareas versus those in within Federal Way's existing city limits. This comparison suggests a total incremental demand of 30.2 percent in the PAA (Table B-14). Surface Water Management Federal Way's Surface Water Management (SWM) operation and maintenance functions are funded through the City's Surface Water Management enterprise fund, which in turn, is supported by surface water fees. Typically, enterprise funds are established where the intent of the governing body is to recover the costs of service provision primarily through service charges. As long as City policy dictates that SWM expenditures will not be augmented by General Fund revenues (or any other City revenue source), then any Review Draft December 2003 8-16 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs ongoing shortfall in SWM revenues will result in (1) an increase in the City's SWM fees schedule and/or (2) a decrease in SWM levels of service. Such an action would be entirely consistent with the potential strategies for reconciling shortfalls in revenues identified in Chapter I of this study. Estimated demand for Surface Water Management operations and maintenance expenditures in the P AA Subareas is based on comparisons of the overall land area of the P AA Subareas versus that of the existing City of Federal Way. Table 8-13: land Area Comparisons, Federal Way and PAA Subareas Northeast Southeast Federal Way PAA PAA Redondo Acres of land (excluding water bodies) 13,457.97 2,393.80 2,391.45 52.55 Source: US Census Bureau 2000 data and ECONorthwest analysis. A comparison of relative land areas suggests that, combined, annexation of the three P AA Subareas would increase demand for day-to-day Surface Water Management services by roughly 36 percent (Table B-14). To ensure that this section of the analysis reflects only the day-to-day costs of maintaining and operating the surface water system, of the $3 million total expenditures budgeted for Surface Water Management in 2003, we excluded $822,000 budgeted for capital improvements and debt service payments. This exclusion resulted in a 2003 cost basis of $2.19 million. Solid Waste & Recycling As is true of Surface Water Management, estimated demand for Solid Waste Division services is based on the incremental increase in City land area that would be introduced by annexation. As the basis for Solid Waste & Recycling Division costs, we used the 2003 budgeted cost of $223,441 but excluded the $141,000 of budgeted one-time charges. Like Surface Water Management, Federal Way's Solid Waste & Recycling functions are funded through an enterprise fund, financed through a combination of collection fees, grants, and a small amount of interest income. For purposes of assessing fiscal impacts of annexation, we assume that this current revenue structure would be sufficient to fund Solid Waste and Recycling activities associated with annexation. As a result, we estimate that incremental costs and revenues associated with Solid Waste and Recycling functions will balance one another out.

Findings Of the Public Works Department's $8.9 million operating budget, we included $8 million in the cost basis for calculating annexation impacts. In total, we estimate that Public Works would incur additional operating costs of $2.5 million (including added office and maintenance facility costs) if the City were to annex all three P AA Subareas in their current form (Table B-15), with associated staffing increases of 13.2 FTEs (Table B-16). Of the $2.5 million total, the largest increases would be seen in the Streets and Surface Water Management divisions, with estimated staffing increases of 3.7 and 5.7 FTEs respectively.6 6 For estimates of facilities costs to support additional FTEs, we distinguish between office and maintenance staff. As discussed previously, we estimate facility costs for one additional office staff based on an assumed requirement of 250 square feet per FTE, at an annual cost of $20 per square foot (resulting in an annual cost of $5,000 per office-based FTE). For maintenance FTEs, we assumed (1) the need for 200 square feet of maintenance shop space per FTE; (2) annualized building costs of roughly $8 per square foot (or $1,600 per FTE); (3) yard space requirements of 10,000 square feet (a floor area ratio of 0.02); and (4) land costs of $8 per square foot, annualized at a total costs of $6,400 per year. For maintenance staff, therefore, we estimate total facilities costs of $8,000 per FTE. One can think of these annualized costs as (1) the annual cost of renting a facility to house office or maintenance activities or (2) the payment on a 20-year bond (with a 5% interest rate) that would cover the purchase and development cost for the facility. Under the latter, bond-repayment scenario, $8,000 in annualized costs would translate into a one-time investment of $100,000 per FTE (under these assumptions, that means $20,000 for 200 square feet of equipped building space per FTE and $80,000 to purchase the 10,000 square feet ofland to go under and around that 200 square feet of building space). Using Surface Water FTE's as an example, the roughly $35,000 of annualized facility costs included in the cost impacts would translate into slightly less than $440,000 in facilities, which in our analysis were split between office and maintenance space.

INDIRECT SERVICE DEPARTMENTS Citywide indirect services include those division's that provide administrative and support functions to ensure the efficient operation of City government. These citywlde indirect operating divisions include the City Council; the Administration Division of the Department of the City Manager; the Civil and Legal Services Division of the Department of Law; and all five divisions of the City's Department of Management Services: Administration, Finance, City Clerk, Human Resources, and Information Systems. Of these eight divisions, the costs of the Information Systems Division are already directly "loaded" into the budgeted costs of the remaining City divisions. Therefore, to avoid double counting, we did not include the budgeted costs of Information Systems in our calculation of indirect services. Because the costs of facilities are not included in the City's operating budget, however, we did include an estimate of the facilities costs necessary to house additional Information Systems staff. Review Draft December 2003 8-19 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Costs For the remaining seven divisions, our estimated cost impacts are based on the City's previously developed indirect service allocation mechanisms. These mechanisms were originally developed by the City for allocation of indirect service costs to direct service divisions, helping to identify fully-loaded costs of direct services. These allocation mechanisms rely on (1) a given direct service division's share of direct service FTEs, (2) the division's share of budget, or (3) some combination of FTEs and budget as the basis for allocation. For the Administration Division of the Department of the City Manager, for example, 70 percent of our impact estimates are driven by percentage increases in direct and departmental indirect service divisions increases in operating expenditures, while the remaining 30 percent of impacts are driven by percentage increases in those divisions' staffing (See the column describing the Cost Allocation Mechanism for each division in (Table B-17). As with direct service departments, we excluded $110,000 for each director- level position from the 2003 cost basis of each affected division. In total, we estimate non-loaded cost impacts of the eight indirect service divisions of $686,000 (Table B-17), and staffing impacts of 6.5 additional FTEs (Table B-18).

Review Draft 8-22 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues Operating Revenues This component of the Annexation Feasibility Study examines the impacts that annexation would have on the Federal Way's operating revenues. Consistent with our approach to estimating operating costs, we approach this analysis of revenues by looking at operating revenues that the City of Federal Way would stand to generate in the Northeast, Southeast, and Redondo PAAs for a single year. The following analysis is based on asking a hypothetical question: If one or more of the study areas were a fully-functioning part of the City of Federal Way in 2003, how much addÜional operating revenue would these areas generate for the City? These estimates represent the revenues the City would stand to collect from the P AAs in 2003 if the City were to apply its current tax and fee structure. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS In total, we estimate that if the three P AAs had been part of Federal Way in 2003 the City would stand to generate $4.6 million in operating revenues (Table C-1). Among the three PAAs, the Redondo area generates the highest revenues per resident, at $646-a finding that is not surprising given the small population of the area and the relative intensity of commercial uses. By contrast, the Southeast and Northeast P AAs generate revenues per resident of $219 and $201, respectively.

Estimated utility taxes available to defray the City's day-to-day costs of operation represent 22 percent of the total estimated revenues for utility taxes. This 22 percent share reflects current City policy, which earmarks 78 percent of utility tax revenues for capital purposes (including Transportation CIP, Parks CIP, Community/Senior Center/Pool capital expenditures, funding for the Public Safety building, and project maintenance and operations). The remaining 22 percent of utility tax revenues go to defray day-to-day operating costs (including street overlays [the expense for which is included in our day-to-day costs of operation], operation and maintenance of the Community/Senior Center/Pool, and administration of the utility tax). .. In November 2002, Washington State voters approved Initiative-776, which sought to limit the cost of car tabs to a rate of $30 in all areas of the state. Among other impacts, implementation of 1-776 would have ended the collection of King County's $15 license fee. In February 2003, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that 1- 776 was unconstitutional in its form. Subsequently, the State Attorney General has appealed the Superior Court ruling, seeking a State Supreme Court review of the ruling. In November, 2003, the State Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of 1-776, eliminating vehicle license fees as a source of city revenue. Following we provide a detailed discussion of the assumptions, methods, and analytic steps that underlie the above figures. Review Draft C-2 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues REVENUE DETAIL The revenue estimates presented in the previous section are based on a combination of directly observed data, the City of Federal Way's current tax structure, and estimates that are based on revenue-generation patterns that we have observed in cities throughout Washington State. In instances where revenues are derivative of City functions (for example, permit or recreation fees) we have sought to ensure that the estimated revenues are consistent with our estimates of the related costs of service. For building permit fees, for example, our revenue estimates are directly linked to our estimated costs of providing Building Division services, based on historical cost-recovery (the portion of total operating costs that are recovered through fees) associated with permitting activity. PROPERTY TAXES On the whole, potential property tax revenues represent the single largest source of revenues that would be available to Federal Way were the City to pursue annexation. In 2002, the City of Federal Way itself generated $7.7 million in property taxes through its regular levy of $1.38 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value (A V). Our estimate of the property tax revenues the three P AAs would generate in 2003 is based on combining (1) real property data extracted from 2002 King County Assessor's extracts, (2) an assumption that the three PAAs have additional taxable personal and intercounty utility property worth 4 percent of the real property value (an assumption that is in line with county averages), and an assumption that overall property values in the P AAs increased at a rate of 4 percent from 2002 to 2003 (a figure that includes the value of new improvements and the increase in existing property). To arrive at our 2003 estimated revenue, we applied Federal Way's 2003 levy rate of $1.34 per $1,000 of assessed value to our estimate of $1.3 billion of taxable property in the P AAs. This translates into total revenues of $1. 7 million (Table C-2).

STATE SHARED REVENUES All cities and towns in Washington State are eligible to receive certain "shared" revenues on the basis of their population. These state-collected revenues derive from three sources: liquor receipts (both profits from liquor sales as well as liquor taxes); fuel taxes; and a small, population-based distribution to support cities' criminal justice functions. As a group, Washington cities and towns receive a fIXed percentage of these source revenues, and that fixed percentage is then allocated to the individual cities on a per capita basis. (For shared profits from liquor sales, as an example, Washington cities and towns as a group receive 40 percent of the total profits. This lump of money is then distributed to the individual municipalities according to their respective populations.) If the Northeast, Southeast, and Redondo PAAs were part of Federal Way in 2003, the City's population would have been an estimated 21,460 residents greater. 1 As a result of this change in population, the City would have received 21,460 more shares of the state per capita distributions. I For the three Potential Annexation Areas, we estimated 2003 populations of 12,300 for the Northeast Subarea, 8,900 for the Southeast, and 260 for Redondo. We generated these population estimates by extending our analysis that generated the original 2002 population figures--combining 2000 census counts by census block, housing unit counts from the King County Assessor tax parcel accounts, and recently-permitted housing units as tracked by King County and the Puget Sound Regional Council. Review Draft December 2003 C-4 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues Table C-4: Resident 2003 State Shared Revenue Distributions Per City Tax Criminal Justice (Population based) Liquor Tax Liquor Profits Unrestricted Gas Tax Distributions Total 0.18 3.51 5.03 14.42 6.74 $29.70 Restricted Gas Tax Source: Municipal Research and Services Center: Budget Suggestions for 2003 SALES TAX-CRIMINAL JUSTICE By Washington State law, a few counties, including King County, are authorized to seek voter approval to levy a 0.1 percent sales tax to support local criminal-justice programs. Ifvoters approve the levy, as they have in King County, the State Department of Revenue collects the tax, and then after retaining a small portion, distributes 10 percent of the proceeds to the County and the remaining 90 percent to the County and cities based on population. For 2003, we estimate criminal justice sales tax distributions of $20 per resident, a figure that translates into distributions of $246,000, $178,000, and $5,000 for the Northeast, Southeast, and Redondo areas, respectively, for a total distribution of $429,000. LOCAL RETAIL SALES TAX Retail sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the sale price of tangible personal property (with the exception of groceries and prescription medicine) and many services purchased by consumers. Beyond its application to tangible personal property, sales tax is also applied to items such as telephone service; the installation, repair, or cleaning of tangible personal property; and to the construction or improvement of new or existing buildings, including labor and services provided throughout the process. Of the 8.8 percent sales tax currently collected in the City and the Potential Annexation Areas, a 1 percent "local" tax accrues to local jurisdictions. In the unincorporated areas the full 1 percent local tax accrues to the County except for a small portion retained by the State Department of Revenue to cover collection and distribution costs. If the transaction location is within a city like Federal Way, the city receives an 85 percent share of the 1 percent local tax and the County receives 15 percent. Review Draft December 2003 C-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues With sales tax revenues in excess of $10.6 million in 2002, sales taxes are the single greatest source of funding for the City of Federal Way. With collections of roughly $127 per resident, Federal Way ranks 95th out of Washington State's 280 cities and towns in per-capita sales tax collections. Our estimate of the sales tax revenues Federal Way could expect to receive from activities in the three P AAs are based on comparisons with other existing cities in the Puget Sound area and across Washington State. Based on our analysis of how a range of jurisdictional characteristics correspond to generation of sales tax dollars, we identified three variables that strongly correlate with sales tax revenues: the number of employees in the Retail sector in a given area; the number of employees in the Finance, Insurance, Real Estate and Services sector (FIRES); and the number of new housing units permitted in the previous year (because of sales taxes on construction activities). While sales tax revenues varied widely from one jurisdiction to the next, we found a large portion of the variation (more than 95 percent) could be explained by variations in the three aforementioned factors. - Based on the distribution of Retail and FIRES employment in each P AA, and based on historical levels of development, we estimate that if the three P AAs were part of Federal Way for the entirety of 2003, the City would have received total sales tax revenues of $359,000. Among the three areas, we estimate that the Northeast PAA would generate $107,000, the Southeast PAA would generate $173,000, and the Redondo area would generate $79,000. UTILITY TAXES While King County is unable to levy utility taxes, Federal Way does levy taxes on the gross operating revenues that public and private utilities earn within the City boundaries, including electricity, telephone, natural gas, cable television, solid waste, and surface water management. In 2003, the City raised its utility tax rates for all utilities from 5 percent to 6 percent, the highest rate a City can levy without voter approval. Federal Way policy is to use the majority of utility tax revenues to fund capital improvements, including Roads Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Parks Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and development of City facilities. A small portion of the revenues, however, are earmarked for activities that we include within the operating functions of the City, including 17 percent of the revenues for the City's roads overlay program, 4 percent for maintenance and operation of the City Community/Senior Center and Pool, and 1 percent for administration of the utility tax revenues. Given this split, we account for 22 percent of utility tax revenues as operating revenues (17% + 4% + 1% = 22%). Our methods for estimating utility tax revenues vary by source. Review Draft December 2003 C-6 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues Electricity and Natural Gas Estimates of taxes on the gross revenues of electricity and natural gas generated in each of the three P AAs are based on (1) the total square footage of buildings in each area; (2) the relative share of that space that is residential (as opposed to commercial); and (3) the share of residential square footage that uses electricity as the primary source of heat. Our estimates of the electrical and gas revenues generated per square foot for each P AA are based on comparisons of revenues and building space in Federal Way, Kent, Des Moines, and Kenmore. At the City's 6 percent tax rate, we estimate that an area will generate between $28 and $38 in electricity taxes for every 1,000 square feet of building space. Areas with a higher share of commercial space and, to a lesser extent, higher shares of residential square footage with electric heat fall in the higher end of the range, while areas with little commercial space and low shares of electric heat fall in the low end of the range. For natural gas, we estimate that an area will generate between $17 and $20 per 1,000 square feet, with the differences, again, being driven by the level of commercial built space and relative split in residential among heating sources. Table C-5: Building Space Characteristics by Neighborhood Share of Commercial Residential With Total Floor Area Share of Total Electric Heat Camelot 4,556,847 15% 14% North Lake 406,546 0% 48% Star Lake 2,343,325 11% 15% Jovita 595,324 0% 41% Lakeland 1,868,375 10% 23% Parkway 2,319,160 19% 12% Redondo 196,007 62% 3% Telephone Our estimate of taxes on gross telephone revenues is based on a statistical analysis of a dozen Puget Sound area cities. Telephone tax revenues are driven by (1) the population of each Potential Annexation Area and (2) the estimated number of employees in the Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Services (FIRES) sectors of the economy, with a revenue-generating effect of Review Draft December 2003 C-7 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues a single FIRES employee weighted as being equivalent to the effect of 1.8 residents. Cable Television Our estimate of cable television tax revenues are based on an estimate that, on average, each resident in the PAA will generate revenues of $9.93. This figure is based on historical trends in Federal Way cable television revenues. At the old 5 percent tax rate, City cable tax revenues equaled $7.13 per resident in 2001, increasing from $5.74 in 1999. Adjusted for the increase to the 6 percent tax rate, our estimated $9.93 per resident in 2003 represents a slight decrease in the rate of cable revenue growth. Solid Waste Estimates of solid waste tax revenues are based on an estimate that the Northeast and Southeast P AAs will generate revenues at a rate of $4.74 per resident. This estimate is based on historical trends within the City of Federal Way and an assumption that, within the City, 80 percent of solid waste revenues are generated by residents, while the remaining revenues are associated with commercial activities. Estimates of solid waste revenues in the Redondo area are also based on comparisons with patterns of revenue collection within the City. However, because Redondo is more skewed towards commercial uses, we made an upward adjustment in the expected revenues per resident in Redondo commensurate with the commercial presence in the area. For Redondo, we estimate overall solid waste tax revenues equal to $7.10 per resident. Surface Water Estimates of surface water tax revenues are based on direct estimates of surface water fee collections given the City's current rate structure and land uses in each of the Potential Annexation Areas. Based on King County Assessor's data, we estimate the following breakdown of land uses in the P AA. Review Draft December 2003 C-8 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues Table C-6: Estimated land Uses for Collection of Suñace Water Fees and Taxes by PAA Northeast Southeast Redondo 1 ,442 811 47 Mobile Homes 44 466 103 Acres Commercial-Hea 1.75 9.55 0 Acres Commercial-Moderate 77.07 33.92 8.50 Acres Commercial-Li ht 71.66 76.50 1.80 For purposes of estimating surface water fees, determinations of heavy, moderate, and light usages are based on floor area ratios (FAR), which are defined as the ratio of built floor area to land area. Parcels with F ARs in excess of 0.5 are categorized as Heavy use, parcels with F ARs between 0.1 and 0.5 are categorized as Moderate, while parcels with FARs less than 0.1 are categorized as Light. Our assumed fees per acre for Heavy, Moderate, and Light commercial parcels are $1,166, $366, and $179, respectively. These fees correspond with City fees levies on Light, Moderate, and Very Heavy commercial uses as outlined in the City Code. Summary of Utility Tax Revenues for Operation and Maintenance Table C-7: Summary of Utility Tax Revenues Dedicated to Operation and Maintenance Activities Northeast Southeast PM PM Redondo Total Electricity $52,000 $34,000 $2,000 $88,000 Natural Gas $31,000 $20,000 $1,000 $52,000 Telephone $71,000 $51,000 $2,000 $124,000 Cable TV $27,000 $19,000 $1,000 $47,000 Solid Waste (Utility Tax) $13,000 $9,000 $406 $22,406 Surface Water Management $2,000 $2,000 $138 $4,138 (Utility Tax) Total $196,000 $135,000 $6,544 $337,544 SURFACE WATER FEES As we noted in our preceding discussion of the operating costs associated with surface water management (SWM), Federal Way's surface water operation and maintenance are funded through an enterprise fund supported by surface water fees. As long as City policy dictates that SWM activities will Review Draft December 2003 C-9 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues not be augmented by General Fund revenues or any other revenue source, then any shortfall in SWM funding will result in (1) an increase in SWM fees and/or (2) a decrease in SWM levels of service. As outlined in the discussion of surface water taxes, estimates of surface water management fee revenues are based on application of the City's current fee structure to land uses in each of the three P AAs. In addition to the commercial fees outlined in the discussion of surface water tax revenues, consistent with the City's current fee structure, we applied a fee of $79.03 for each single family parcel and $32.08 for each mobile home. Estimates for surface water fees and taxes do not include payments for City roads. Payment of these fees simply constitutes a transfer from one operating division within the City to another, with no net impact to the City's overall operating budget. FINES AND FORFEITS While cities are responsible for providing municipal court services for adjudication of local infractions, cities also stand to receive a portion of the fines and forfeit revenues associated with that adjudication. Our estimates of the additional fines and forfeit revenues that Federal Way would receive were it to annex any or all of the P AAs are directly tied to our estimate of the increase in law enforcement services associated with each P AA. Specifically, our estimates of fines and forfeits revenues represent (1) the City's budgeted 2003 fines and forfeit revenues multiplied by (2) the incremental demand for law enforcement services that we estimate will be introduced by each of the PAAs. As we discussed in our examination of service costs for Public Safety, Criminal Prosecution, and Municipal Court services, we estimate that the three P AAs combined will introduce a 22.3 percent increase in demand on public safety resources (Table C-7). Consequently, our estimate of fines and forfeits revenues generated by the three P AAs combined represents 22.3 percent of the $1,018,813 in revenues the City budgeted for fines and forfeits in 2003... equaling $227,000.

Review Draft December 2003 C-10 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues BUILDING PERMIT FEES To help defray the costs of defining and enforcing development and building standards, the Building and Planning divisions of the City's Department of Community Development Services collect fees in return for the oversight and issuance of zoning, development, and building permits. For the Building Division, these fees include fees for electrical permits, plan review, and building permits (which include among other things, mechanical permits and sign permits). While it is tempting to try to base building fee revenues on historical trends in permitting activity in the Potential Annexation Areas, our experience in past analyses has been that such an approach generates estimates that are less than reliable. Among the hurdles we have encountered are (1) challenges associated with incomplete or inconsistent historical permit data for the P AAs and (2) the experience of annexing cities (in terms of the number of permits issued) tends to differ from the historical experience of King County. One possible reason for this second hurdle may be that residents of unincorporated King County have different expectations about the kinds of activities that require building permits, or about the level of enforcement they would be likely to see if they are part of a city as opposed to residing in unincorporated King County. Given our experience with a variety of methods for estimating permit revenues, we chose, ultimately, to tie our estimate of revenues for building permits, electrical permits, and plan review directly to the estimate of permitting activity that we generated when estimating the operating costs associated with Building Division. As it turns out, most cities find that the relationship between the costs of providing permitting services and the revenues that those permits generate has proven to be relatively stable from year to year. Given this relationship between costs and fees, we base our estimate of fee revenues on (1) the anticipated cost of providing Building Division permitting services to the P AA, (2) the historical relationships that the City has seen between permitting costs and revenues, and (3) recently enacted changes in Federal Way's permitting fee structure. Table C-9: Estimates of Building Division Costs and Fee Revenue by PAA (2003) Northeast PAA Southeast PAA Redondo Total Building Division Fee Revenues $121,000 $90,000 $7,000 218,000 Source: ECONorthwest analysis. Review Draft December 2003 C-11 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues VEHICLE LICENSE FEES King County has historically imposed a $15 license fee for all vehicles registered in the county. Cities within the county were eligible to receive the revenues from this fee paid by their own residents. In November 2002, Washington State voters approved Initiative-776, which sought to limit the cost of car tabs to a rate of $30 in all areas of the state. In November, 2003, the Washington Supreme Court upheld 1-776, eliminating vehicle license fees as a source of county or city revenue. FRANCHISE FEES The City of Federal Way levies a 5 percent franchise fee on the gross revenues generated by the cable television service provider within the City. Our estimates of the revenues generated by this fee in the P AAs are based on the estimate of cable television utility taxes summarized above. In total, we estimated cable utility tax revenues of $213,000, based on a 6 percent tax rate (of which, $47,000 is included in the estimated impacts to the City's operating revenues). Given the difference between the 6 percent utility tax rate and the 5 percent rate for the franchise fee, we estimate cable franchise fee revenues of $178,000. SOLID WASTE AND RECYLCING REVENUES A portion of the revenues that accrue to the City's Solid Waste and Recycling Fund from collections and grants serve to cover the City's costs of managing and running the City's Solid Waste and Recycling services. For purposes of assessing fiscal impacts of annexation under a steady-state scenario, we assume that this current revenue structure will be sufficient to fund collection and oversight activities associated with annexation. As a result, we estimate that incremental costs and revenues associated with Solid Waste and Recycling functions will balance one another out over time. Based on our estimate that the City would incur $83,000 in costs for managing Solid Waste and Recycling services for the three P AAs combined, we estimate equal revenues of $83,000. Having noted our full-cost-recovery assumption for Solid Waste and Recycling operations, we should also note that it will take the City a number of years upon annexation to adjust its revenue structure to accommodate the newly introduced service costs. Roughly half of the revenues that support Solid Waste activities accrue to the City from grants. Since these grants are distributed to the City based on the City's population, any annexation of new populations would bring with it a commensurate increase in revenue distributions. Review Draft December 2003 C-12 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues The remaining half of Solid Waste revenues-fees that are generated as part of the City's franchise agreement with the waste hauler-will not automatically increase with annexation. Upon annexation, the City will have a certain opportunity to negotiate commensurate increases in franchise charges when the waste hauler's franchise becomes subject to City regulatory authority (7 years after annexation), and the City may have an opportunity to negotiate an increase with the waste hauler prior to that. As we stated above, however, for our steady-state snapshot of operating impacts, we have assumed that the City will have the opportunity to negotiate franchise charges that would fully support the costs of providing its Solid Waste and Recycling services. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEES As is true of the Building and Planning divisions of the Department of Community Development Services, the Development Services Division of the Public Works Department generate fee revenues to help defray the costs of plan review and issuance of right-of-way permits. As we noted in our preceding discussion of building permit revenues, our experience in estimating costs and revenues associated with development services suggests that the preferred method for estimating development services fee revenues is to base those estimates on the anticipated demand for the Development Services Division's services in the PAA, as identified in our earlier estimates of operating costs. For the 2003 budget, the City anticipates that these revenues will recoup 63 percent of the directly-budgeted costs of operating the Development Services Division.2 Our estimate of Development Services fees represents our estimated costs of providing Development Services to the three P AAs (excluding the non-budgeted costs of facilities) multiplied by this 63 percent cost-recovery rate. For the three P AAs combined, these methods result in total estimated Development Services fees of $67,000. RECREATION FEES Estimates of recreation fees represent 54 percent of our estimate of the costs of providing recreation services for each of the P AAs. This cost-recovery percentage is consistent with the City's 2003 budget for recreation costs and 2 It is worth noting that the directly-budgeted costs of operating a city's development services division almost always understates the true, fully-loaded cost of operating the division. As cost-of-service studies are designed to identify, in addition to the direct costs, the true costs of running a division must also include a pro-rata share of a city's support functions, the cost of facilities, etc. Review Draft December 2003 C-13 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues revenues within the City. For the three P AAs combined, this cost-recovery assumption results in estimated fees of $56,500. ZONING FEES As with the fees generated by the Building Division of the Department of Community Development Services, the Planning Division generates zoning, or more accurately, land use application fee revenues that help to defray the costs of operating the Division. Again, we estimate these revenues based on our estimate of the additional demand for services that will be generated in each of the three P AAs. From 2000 through 2002, zoning fees recouped roughly 9 percent of the directly-budgeted costs of operating the Planning Division. (In 2001, for example, the City's 2003/2004 Adopted Budget reports that the Planning Division generated $86,819 in zoning fees, which represents roughly 8.5 percent of the Planning Division's overall expenditures of $1.025 million.) Our estimate of zoning fee revenues represents 9 percent of our estimated Planning Division services costs (excluding non-budgeted facilities costs), adjusted to account for the 14.6 percent increase in fees instituted in 2003. For the three P AAs combined, we estimate zoning fee receipts of $13,000. GAMBLING TAX Gambling Tax revenues represent revenues collected through taxes on pull- tab revenues collected at a single business in the Star Lake neighborhood of the Northeast PAA and a single business in the Redondo PAA. The estimated revenues of $13,000 for the Northeast PAA and $16,000 for the Redondo PAA reflect the recent pattern of gambling tax revenues collected from the site by King County in recent quarters. Since both the City of Federal Way and King County levy a 5 percent tax on pull-tab revenues received by businesses, we anticipate similar revenue generation for the City of Federal upon annexation. BUSINESS LICENSE FEES The City of Federal Way levies a $25 annual renewal fee on all businesses located within City boundaries. Our estimate of the revenues generated by this fee in the P AAs is based on a count of businesses in each P AA based on Department of Employment Security data that have been geocoded by staff at the Puget Sound Regional CounciL People who are familiar with the Northeast and Southeast P AAs are likely to be surprised at the number of businesses that are located in those areas. Most of these businesses, however, are home-based businesses, the existence of which would not be immediately apparent to the casual observer. Many of these home-base businesses provide construction-related services (e.g. Review Draft December 2003 C-14 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Operating Revenues carpentry, plumbing, and electrical services), with others being listed simply as private households who also run a business of one sort or another.

Review Draft December 2003 C-16 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact on Operating Revenues Net Fiscal Impact on Operating Revenues As noted in preceding sections, our approach to estimating the fiscal operating impact of annexation is to ask a series of hypothetical questions: 1. What are tile operating cost impacttif one or more of the study areas were a fully-functioning part of the City of Federal Way in 2003, how much additional operating revenue would the City need to extend its existing levels of day-to-day services to those areas? 2. What revenues would tile areas generate to defray tllese costs! What revenue would the City generate in 2003 If it applied its current tax and fee structure to each of the PAAs? 3. What are tile net, annual operating revenues! By answering these three questions, we are able to identify the net cost of annexation in annual terms. Assuming that the net revenues are negative (i.e. an area generates a net cost), if the City were to go ahead and annex an area, then these costs could manifest themselves in the form of (1) increased taxes for City residents, (2) decreased services, or most likely, (3) some combination of the two. OVERVIEW OF FINDINGS With total estimated operating revenues of $4.6 million and estimated operating costs of $8.1 million, if Federal Way had annexed the P AAs in 2003 and tried to extend its current levels of services to the areas, we estimate that the City would have incurred net costs of slightly less than $3.6 million (Table D-3). This net cost translates into a cost of $165 per P AA resident. For a discussion of how this net cost would be likely to change in coming years, readers should look to the discussion in Chapter E: Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues. Among the three P AAs, however, substantial differences exist in the extent of the cost of annexation. With a relatively small population and substantial commercial activity, we estimate that annexation of the Redondo area would generate virtually no net costs to the City. (Given the margin of error associated with estimating costs and revenues for an area like Redondo, our estimated net revenues of $10,344 should be viewed as essentially equal to zero cost.) In the long term, given the potential for redevelopment of commercial parcels in Redondo, and given the area's proximity to neighboring retail and Review Draft December 2003 D-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact on Operating Revenues commercial markets, we believe that annexation of Redondo is likely to be a long-term net generator of operating revenues for Federal Way. In contrast to Redondo, the Northeast and Southeast P AAs are both largely residential in nature. Neither the Northeast nor the Southeast PAA generates substantial sales tax revenues. Rather, the primary source of operating revenues for both areas is property tax, a source that, with the 2001 passage ofInitiative-747 property tax limits, the City should expect to erode over time. Between the Northeast and Southeast P AAs, annexation of the Northeast P AA would generate lower net costs, both in absolute terms and in terms of costs per resident. Among the biggest reasons for the differences in net costs for the two areas are (1) differences in per-capita property values, (2) differences in the estimated per-household cost of high-cost services like public safety, and (3) differences in the costs of maintaining parks facilities. 1 Table D-1: Operating Revenues Generated, by PAA (2003) Northeast Southeast PAA PAA Redondo Total Property Tax $947,000 $699,000 $24,000 $1,670,000 State Shared Revenues $365,000 $264,000 $8,000 $637,000 Sales Tax - Criminal Justice $246,000 $178,000 $5,000 $429,000 Local Retail Sales Tax $107,000 $173,000 $79,000 $359,000 Utility Jaxes $196,000 $135,000 $6,544 $337,544 (O&M) Suñace Water Fees $159,000 $116,000 $10,000 $285,000 Fines and Foñeits $106,000 $115,000 $6,000 $227,000 Building Permit $121,000 $90,000 $7,000 $218,000 Fees Veh.~cle License Fee Franchise Fees $102,000 $74,000 $2,000 $178,000 Solid Waste Revenues $41,000 $41,000 $1,000 $83,000 Development $39,000 $27,000 $1,000 $67,000 Services Fees 1 The Southeast PAA has substantial parks facilities while the Northeast PAA has virtually no active parks space. It is important to note that, if the City were to annex the Northeast PAA and want to bring the area up to current City standards for park acres per resident, the City would have to incur substantial capital costs to do so. Moreover, upon completing the new facilities, the City would find itself in the position of facing higher maintenance and operation costs associated with maintaining those facilities.

Estimated utility taxes available to defray the City's day-to-day costs of operation represent 22 percent of the total estimated revenues for utility taxes. This 22 percent share reflects current City policy, which earmarks 78 percent of utility tax revenues for capital purposes (including Transportation CIP, Parks CIP, Community/Senior Center/Pool capital expenditures, funding for the Public Safety building, and project maintenance and operations). The remaining 22 percent of utility tax revenues go to defray day-to-day operating costs (including street overlays [the expense for which is included in our day-to-day costs of operation], operation and maintenance of the Community/Senior Center/Pool, and administration of the utility tax). .. In November 2002, Washington State voters approved Initiative-776, which sought to limit the cost of car tabs to a rate of $30 in all areas of the state. Among other impacts, implementation of 1-776 would have ended the collection of King County's $15 license fee. In February 2003, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that 1- 776 was unconstitutional in its form. Subsequently, the State Attorney General has appealed the Superior Court ruling, seeking a State Supreme Court review of the ruling. . In November, 2003, the State Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of 1-776, eliminating vehicle license fees as a source of city revenue.

Note: The net operating revenue (or net costs) presented here represent the gap between operating revenues generated in each of the PAAs under the City's 2003 revenue structure and the costs of extending 2003 levels of City services to the same areas. In order to present a full picture of operating impacts, this presentation combines fiscal impacts across a number of disparate City Funds. Among the potential strategies that are available to bridge the gap between costs and revenues, the City has expressed interest in a strategy that maintains City policy and ensures that Surf ace Water Management costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. Given estimated SWM costs and revenues, pursuit of this strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM savices. By balancing SWM fees and costs Citywide, the City would reduce the remaining gap by $537,000 (the difference between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($286,000), which again, are based on the City's current schedule of fees. The remaining $2.8 million gap, then, would be bridged through some combination of other strategies. * Given the uncertainties surrounding estimates of costs and revenues for a small area like Redondo, the reported net revenue of $10,344for the Redondo area could be viewed as essentially equal to zero. DISTINCTIONS AMONG NEIGHBORHOODS Although we were not able to perform detailed analyses of operating costs and revenues at the neighborhood level, we did perform a high-level assessment of differences in the fiscal attractiveness of the seven identified neighborhood. Our assessment of these differences among neighborhoods is based on an assessment of property and sales tax revenues (the two major sources of revenues that have the potential to vary widely from area to area), and a rough assessment ofthe distribution of demand for high-cost services like public safety. Our assessment of these factors leads us to believe that, with the exception of Redondo, no other single neighborhood is likely to be a net "winner" for the City as an annexation area (at least not in their current form). In relative terms, the small North Lake area (estimated 2003 population of 600) is likely to come the closest to breaking even. North Lake has taxable property per resident that is more than 50 percent higher than that of the three P AAs combined (Table D-4) (values that should translate into roughly a 20 percent boost in the area's per capita revenues). We also estimate that North Lake will ge nerate lower-than-average demand for public safety Review Draft December 2003 D-4 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact on Operating Revenues services. However, North Lake appears to generate only very low levels of sales tax revenues. On balance, our rough assessment is that even annexation of the North Lake neighborhood would generate net costs in excess of $50 per resident. Table D-4: Estimated Population and Assessed Value per Resident by Neighborhood (2003) Assessed Estimated Value per Population Resident North Lake 600 $95,000 Lakeland 3,000 $70,000 Redondo East 260 $67,000 Star Lake 3,200 $67,000 Jovita 1,400 $60,000 Parkway 4,500 $51,000 Camelot 8,500 $51,000 Source: ECONorthwest analysis of King County Assessor's 2002 data extracts, 2000 census data, and 2000 and 2001 permitted housing units as tracked by the Puget Sound Regional Council. Again, due to limitations in readily-available data,2 the scope of this study does not allow us to perform a rigorous examination of the full costs and revenues associated with annexing each neighborhood within the three major P AAs. However, based on our rough assessments of revenue potential and cost drivers, we believe that the overall hierarchy of relative attractiveness might look as follows, running from most attractive at the top of the list to least attractive at the bottom: 1. Redondo East 2. North Lake 3. Lakeland 4. Star Lake 2 Detailed analysis of each neighborhood was not pursued due to several factors, such as (1) obstacles that arise from the way the State Department of Revenue tracks certain revenues, (2) lack of specificity in SF3 US Census data, and (3) an assessment by City and County staff and consultant team that the Major-Subarea level of analysis represented the most efficient use of scarce resources. Review Draft December 2003 0-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact on Operating Revenues 5. Jovita 6. Camelot 7. Parkway As we noted previously, Redondo appears to be the one neighborhood that would be likely to generate net fiscal benefits to the City in the long term ($41 net revenue per new resident). Next on the list would be the North Lake and Lakeland neighborhoods, which we estimate would generate annual net operating costs in the range of $60 to $90 per new resident, respectively. Our rough assessment is that the remaining four neighborhoods would generate net costs ranging from slightly more than $110 per neighborhood resident for Star Lake to perhaps$135 per new resident for Jovita and Camelot, to as much as $360 per resident for Parkway. Parkway has among the lowest assessed values per resident, and we estimate that the neighborhood would generate relatively high levels of demand for public safety services. Review Draft D-6 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues When assessing the long-term fiscal impacts of annexation, in addition to looking at current costs and revenues associated with annexation, a city must also make an assessment of how those costs and revenues are likely to change over time. TRENDS IN CITY REVENUES AND COSTS REVENUE TRENDS Cities in Washington State typically rely on three major sources of revenue to fund their day-to-day operations: (1) retail sales tax, (2) property tax, and (3) business and utility taxes. Across the state, these three sources provide roughly 75 percent of cities' general fund revenues. Among the three primary revenue sources, the most important source to Federal Way is retail sales tax-revenue the City receives based on its position as a retail center in Southwest King County. In addition to being the biggest source of revenues, retail sales taxes have also been the biggest source of revenue growth for Federal Way over the past decade, as it has been for most cities in the Puget Sound region (Figure E-l). The importance of sales taxes notwithstanding, however, both property taxes and utility taxes also generated substantial revenue growth for Federal Way throughout the 1990s. With rapid increases in property values in the Puget Sound Region, the growth in property taxes during the 1990s was limited, principally, by State law that restricted growth of a city's property tax revenues to 106 percent of the previous year's levy (plus revenues associated with "add-ons"-primarily from new construction or annexation). Increases in utility taxes were the result of rapid growth in the adoption of cell phones and general increases in rates and usage for Cable TV, electricity, and natural gas.

Note: Utility tax receipts represent revenues that the City would have collected since 1997 (when the City first levied a utility tax) if the City had always levied its current 6 percent utility tax rate. In 2001, with a decade of strong revenue growth behind them, Washington State cities were dealt two simultaneous blows: /irst, the State slipped into a deep recession; second, in November 2001, voters in Washington State passed Initiative 747, an initiative that essentially ended the growth that cities could expect in property tax revenues. 1-747 reduced the state's existing 106 percent limit on revenue growth from existing property to a growth limit of 101 percent-a rate that is virtually guaranteed not to keep up with inflation. 1 The result of the combination of an economic slowdown and passage of 1- 747 meant that, in 2002, most cities in Washington State saw their real (inflation-adjusted) revenues fall from the previous year. Moreover, with the strict limits of 1- 747 in place, cities had to begin building in an expectation lOr, in the event that the previous year's inflation was less than 1 percent, the increase is limited to 100 percent plus the rate of inflation. Review Draft December 2003 E-2 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues that property tax revenues on existing property would continue to fall each year (again, in inflation-adjusted terms). The bottom line is that, with the passage of 1- 747 and the growing importance of retail sales tax as a source of City operating revenues, it will become increasingly true that, from a fiscal perspective, annexation of a typical residential area will become less and less attractive to a city. TRENDS IN CITY COSTS The costs of city services are driven by two factors: (1) the level of service the city provides to its constituents (e.g. the number of police officers the city has on patrol, the number and extent of park facilities, or the level of road maintenance), and (2) the costs of the inputs (staff, materials, and equipment) that go into provision of that service. Of these two factors, the level of service that a city provides is, to one degree or another, under city control Faced with a given set of fiscal/political constraints, city policy makers choose to provide a level of service. The costs of the inputs to city services, by contrast, are almost entirely outslde of city control The primary input for city services is city staffing-the costs of workers salaries and benefits and the associated costs of training, equipment, and facilities. With nearly a decade of economic growth in the nation and in the Puget Sound Region, salaries have increased steadily over the past decade. Although the recent recession has diminished the rate of salary growth in recent quarters, in the long-term, cities should expect that overall productivity growth in the private sector will continue to increase staffing costs at a rate that exceeds general inflation. The only way that cities will be able to hold the line on their "per-unit" costs will be if cities are able to achieve productivity gains that match the increases in the costs of salaries. Another key component of the increase in staffing costs is the costs of health benefits. Health insurance costs have seen double-digit increases in recent years, increases that have put substantial pressure on employers in both the private and public sector. As we have seen at both the state and local level, these health benefit costs have been a major source of growth in the costs of providing governmental services. Overall, cities should anticipate that the costs of providing public services will continue to rise, even above the rate of general inflation. While it is impossible to predict the technological innovations that will drive efficiency gains, in the end, providing City services is a people-intensive endeavor. Given that, and given the substantial upward pressures on the costs of labor, cities should anticipate, over the long term, costs of doing business will Increase. Review Draft December 2003 E-3 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues WHAT DO CURRENT TRENDS AND FORECASTS MEAN TO PROSPECTS FOR ANNEXING THE PAAS? REDONDO As noted previously, the relatively small Redondo Potential Annexation Area has the potential to be a long-term net generator of revenue for Federal Way. Redondo has substantial existing commercial activity. Perhaps more important, Redondo has the capacity to support additional commercial development in close proximity to the nearby commercial markets of Des Moines, Kent, and Burien. Given this market position, Redondo has the potential to develop into an area that will contribute growth in both the City's sales tax and property tax revenues over the long term. THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST PAAS Unlike Redondo, the Northeast and Southeast Potential Annexation Areas are dominated by residential uses. Absent identification of a unique development opportunity (see the discussion in Chapter I regarding Potential Annexation Strategies), these two areas are expected to see only modest demand for commercial growth over coming decades. What the lack of commercial activity in these areas means for Federal Way is that the Northeast and Southeast P AAs will be unlikely to become substantial generators of retail sales taxes (again, absent a unique development opportunity). As outlined in the preceding discussion of current operating revenues, by far the largest portion of the total operating revenues generated in the Northeast and Southeast P AAs (roughly 36 percent) would be generated through property taxes. Unfortunately, with the 101 percent property tax limitations put in place by 1-747, property taxes are the one source of City revenues that will be most susceptible to deterioration over time. An illustration may be helpful. In terms of what an average existing household pays, under 1-747, a city like Federal Way must assume that real property tax revenues from each existing household will grow by only 1 percent each year. At the same time, however, the average cost of providing a given level of service to that household will increase at between 2 percent and 4 percent per year. A 1 percent to 3 percent difference between the growth of costs and revenues does not seem like much for a given year. Over time, however, the effect of the different growth rates has the potential to compound to create a huge gap between costs and revenues. For example, if the costs of serving a household were to continue to grow at a rate of 3 percent per year, while the property taxes paid by that household increased by an average of only 1 percent per Review Draft December 2003 E-4 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues year for the same period, then in 20 years, costs will increase by roughly 80 percent while revenues will increase by only 22 percent. If costs and revenues were equal in the first year, then under this example, at the end of the 20- year period, costs will have grown to exceed revenues by a full 50 percent. Given the role of property taxes as the primary source of operating revenues in the Northeast and Southeast PAAs, this compounding effect ofl-747 property tax limits represents a real long-term barrier to annexation of these areas. Washington State's local tax code poses another challenge to the annexation of the Northeast and Southeast PAAs. Under current Washington tax structures, as a general rule, new residential development in places like the Northeast and Southeast P AAs do not cover the costs of providing city services to the new residents the developments house. As has been demonstrated by the preceding assessment of fiscal impacts for neighborhoods like North Lake, the typical three person household living in a new $250,000 house does not generate enough tax revenue to cover the costs Federal Way incurs to provide services to those residents.2 Given this phenomenon, future residential development of the P AAs will only make the Northeast and Southeast P AAs more of a challenge to annex in coming years. 3 Ultimately, the revenue picture for the Northeast and Southeast PAAs will be driven by (1) low long-term commercial activity, (2) low sales tax revenues, and (3) property tax revenues that will continue to fall in real, per-capita terms. Given that, Federal Way should expect to see little or no real growth in operating revenues generated in its residential P AAs over the foreseeable future. Combining stagnant or falling revenues with steadily increasing 2 In fact, those residents probably do pay enough in local taxes to cover the costs of serving them. The problem is, they pay the biggest chunk of those taxes in the form of retail sales taxes-a source oflocal revenues that accrues to local jurisdictions regardless of where that household actually lives. 3 The problem of the gap between (1) the costs of serving residential areas and (2) the revenues those areas generate is one that many cities face. For Federal Way, however, the problem is particularly acute-at least from an operations perspective. The reason for this is that the City dedicates most of its utility tax revenues for capital uses. For most cities, utility taxes are among the largest residence-based sources of operating revenues. Moreover, unlike the property taxes on a house, which will diminish in real value over time, utility taxes have proven in recent years to be a key source of revenue growth. illtimately, of course, Federal Way does collect utility taxes, using those revenues to cover the costs of capital improvements. Therefore, even if the City wanted to earmark utility taxes in the P AAs to help cover operating costs, such a move would not result in any overall increase in revenues. Such a move would, however, contribute to narrowing the net impact on the City's operating budgets associated with annexing the Northeast and Southeast P AAs. Review Draft December 2003 E-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Trends in Operating Costs and Revenues operating costs suggests that the fiscal picture for annexation is likely to deteriorate even further in coming years. Review Draft December 2003 E-6 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs Capital Facilities Costs PURPOSE This chapter of the Annexation Feasibility Study serves as a consolidated summary of key public capital facility facilities and associated cost estimates identifying the cost of providing capital facilities consistent with City of Federal standards in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area. It identifies capital improvements needed to meet the City of Federal Way standards based on current facilities and populations as well as to meet City standards as expected growth occurs. The capital facilities addressed include: . Parks & Recreation . Roads . Stormwater . Water and Wastewater Parks & Recreation, Roads, and Stormwater capital projects would include facilities the City itself, or in partnership with other agencies, would likely design and build and potentially manage or maintain, depending on the type of facility. Water and Wastewater infrastructure and services are provided by special districts, but would affect the timing and rate of growth, and may have a bearing upon the phasing of annexations in the Potential Annexation Area. LAND USE, POPULATION AND CAPITAL FACILITY LINKAGES Capital facility planning follows from the development of land use plans and growth estimates. A proposed pre-annexation land use plan for the PAA was developed in March 2003 and is contained in the PAA Subarea Plan 3. It is similar to adopted King County long-range land use plans for the PAA. Based on the land use plan, buildable land capacities were developed. Additionally, a market analysis identifying the timing of residential and non-residential growth was prepared to provide a more realistic estimate of land use and growth that is related to land capacity, but also primarily to market potential. Each analysis is described below. As part of a countywide effort to prepare an analysis of buildable lands pursuant to GMA requirements, the County has estimated the capacity of vacant and underdeveloped (land not developed to full potential) lands in the Review Draft December 2003 F-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs PAA.1 The results for the 20-year period of 2001 to 2022 are a potential dwelling capacity of 3,754 units and an employment capacity of 134 jobs calculated by King County. The City of Federal Way prepared its own residential capacity analysis related to the pre-annexation land use plan and estimated a highly similar residential capacity of 3,717 units. It should be noted that a capacity analysis may make adjustments or discounts to the amount of available land, but does not estimate the time or rate that growth will occur, only the capacity of the land for additional development. The market demand for homes and places of employment will in part determine the timing and rate of growth within the 2020 planning period for the P AA. To help identify potential market demands, the City conducted a market analysis for the P AA with the Puget Sound Regional Council forecasts as a starting point. The outcome of the market analysis is a year 2020 projection of 2,223 dwelling units and 115 jobs. For the purposes of capital facility planning the market analysis figures are used to ensure that facility planning efforts do not overestimate facility demand, capital needs, and funding requirements. The market analysis population growth to 2020 and the City level of service standards were the basis for the capital improvement needs analysis in this Chapter. Costs of capital improvements are based on the most recent data available (2002). Table F-l summarizes population by major subarea for the years 2000 and 2002, while Tables F-2 and F-3 summarize population from the year 2000 to the year 2020 for the whole PAA and PAA neighborhood respectively, based on the market analysis. There has been little growth in the period of 2000 to 2002. 1 The capacity estimate reduces vacant and underdeveloped acres with discount factors for critical areas (wetlands, streams, etc.), rights-of-way and public purpose lands, and market factors (i.e. not all property owners would want to sell or develop).

Table F -4 provides a summary of anticipated capital costs in the P AA through 2020. As shown in this table, the total cost of capital improvements related to potential future City services to meet City levels of service in the PAA through 2020 is estimated to be $48,315,520; approximately $32,260,000 of the cost would be a result of addressing existing deficiencies in parks/recreation, roads (level of service based), and surface water facilities - that is the level of cost due to meeting the City's adopted levels of service within the P AA today to the current population with the large majority of that due to parks and recreation deficiencies. 2 Road costs are presented in two parts: levels of service and cross-section improvements. The separate treatment is due to the different basis for determining needs, as well as the different funding tools that are used to pay for them. Roadway cross-section improvements are not required to meet the City's roadway intersection level of service. These road cross-section improvements may be made incrementally as new development makes street frontage improvements, or through local improvement districts, or other means. Water and Wastewater infrastructure and services are provided by special districts rather than the City of Federal Way, but would affect the timing and rate of growth, and may have a bearing upon the phasing of annexations in the Potential Annexation Area. 2 Existing deficiencies for parks were derived by applying the City's level of service to the existing population in the PAA and comparing the resulting need to the inventory of parkland in the PAA. Existing deficiencies for roads are those improvements needed at locations where the level of service is below the City standards as of the base year 2000. Existing surface water deficiencies are based on known capital improvements identified in existing basin plans or by King County Roads Division to address surface water problems or major maintenance items, although other deficiencies may be identified in the future when basin plans are completed.

As noted in the Level of Service Analysis, many level of service standards of current service Review Draft December 2003 F-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs providers are different (typically lower) than the standards of the City of Federal Way. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) analysis and resulting capital improvement projects in this chapter are based on achieving the City's level of service standards. These estimates are at a planning level and should only be used for broad planning level estimates. As projects approach inclusion in the City's or County's CIP, more refined estimates should be prepared using more defined scopes of work and field investigations. General assumptions for each of the capital cost analyses include: . The need and type of facilities are based upon the market study population projections and/or the proposed zoning designations for the P AA in the Proposed Final PM Subarea Plan. . Except as specifically noted, all costs are reported in 2002 dollars. . Whenever possible, costs are broken down roughly into three six-year increments: 2002 - 2007, 2008 - 2013, and 2014 - 2020. Dividing the estimates into three groups assists in identifying capital project phasing, and it aligns with the Growth Management Act, which generally promotes the development of six-year capital improvement programs as well as longer range 20-year capital facility planning. . As applicable, capital costs are assigned to one of the three major P AA planning areas (Northeast, Southeast and Redondo East) and their component communities. Where feasible due to data availability, costs are assigned to the smaller community level subareas within the larger P AA subareas. . Capital costs that apply throughout the PAA are identified as an area- wide program. If areawide programs are not listed, then the areawide programs relate to operational costs, which are addressed in Chapter B, Operating Costs. PARKS AND RECREATION OVERVIEW Public open space, parks and recreational programs are currently provided to the Federal Way P AA by King County. The P AA is primarily served by five County park or open space sites totaling nearly 110 acres. Within the PAA, recent capital projects completed in the Year 2000 include the South County Ballfields Phase 2. No capital facility projects are planned currently for the PAA by the County. Review Draft F-B December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs In the event of annexation, the City of Federal Way will provide parks and recreation services. Table F -5 indicates the parks and acreages that would transfer upon annexation. Table F-5.

Table F-6. Federal Way Park and Recreation levels of Service Type of Park or Facility Federal Way's Standard Neighborhood Parks 1.7 acres per 1,000 population Community Parks 2.8 acres per 1,000 population Trails 2.2 miles per 1,000 population Open Space 6.0 acres per 1,000 population Community Center 600 sq. ft. per 1,000 population Source: Federal Way 2000 Parks and Recreation Master Plan To develop capital cost estimates, first, the standard for park land was multiplied times the population of each neighborhood in the P AA to calculate the number of acres of each type of park land that is needed to serve the population of each area. Second, the acres needed were compared to the number of acres of existing parks. Whenever the acres needed were more than the acres of existing parks, the difference is the number of acres to be acquired through the CIP. Third, the cost of acres to be acquired through the CIP was estimated using City estimates of costs per acre (addressed below under notes and assumptions). Relative to all of the capital facilities required to meet City level of service standards, parks and recreation facilities have the highest cost. Estimated parks and recreation costs include dollars for acquisition and construction of neighborhood parks, community parks, trails, open spaces, and a community center. The total estimated cost for the PAA through 2020 is $32,714,520. Review Draft December 2003 F-7 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs This amount would be equally divided among the three six-year increments, with expenditures of $10,904,840 expected in each of the periods. The portion of the park capital cost estimate that would be attributed to meeting the higher City parks level of service standard for the existing population (i.e. the cost of the existing "deficiency" -- providing Federal Way's level of service to the existing P AA population3) is $25.6 million, and the cost of growth through the year 2020 is $7.1 million for a total cost of $32.7 million. The Northeast Subarea is estimated to require $22,565,346 in parks and recreation facilities, or approximately 69% of the total P AA park and recreation capital cost. The Southeast Subarea would require $9,564,412, or 29% of the total cost. Redondo East, with an estimated cost of $584,762, would require about 2% of the total parks and recreation estimated cost. As noted in Chapter B, Operating Costs, the Northeast Subarea has low maintenance costs because it has little parkland now. The high capital cost in this CIP will bring the Northeast Subarea up to the City's standard, and that, in turn, will cause a significant increase in future operating costs. The same is true, to a lesser extent, about the Southeast Subarea. A detailed breakdown of estimated costs by subarea and community area is shown in Table F - 7 below. Table F-7.

Although other entities located within or adjacent to the P AA and City of Federal Way (such as schools) provide additional park land and/or facilities, the capital estimates are based upon acres required in accordance with Federal Way park and recreation levels of service, representing the levels of service which the City would be able to directly control upon annexation. The following sentences describe the method used. First, the standard for park land was multiplied times the population of each neighborhood in the P AA to calculate the number of acres of each type of park land that is needed Review Draft December 2003 F-10 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs to serve the population of each area. Second, the acres needed were compared to the number of acres of existing parks. Whenever the acres needed were more than the acres of existing parks, the difference is the number of acres to be acquired through the CIP. Third, the cost of acres to be acquired through the CIP was estimated using City estimates of costs per acre (or for trails, cost per mile, and for community center, cost per square foot) as shown in Table F -8.

ROADS OVERVIEW The Federal Way P AA is served by a series of arterial roadways that provide local and regional transportation access. Following are some characteristics of PAA road conditions summarized from the PM Inventory and PM Subarea Plan: . The majority of the street network in the P AA is characteristically rural with asphalt concrete pavement, gravel shoulders, and ditches for drainage purposes. The street network is largely underdeveloped, with many cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets creating insufficient connectivity. . A general lack of sidewalks and existing luminaires inhibit pedestrian traffic and present public safety concerns. Luminaires are limited to street intersections along arterial streets and newer subdivisions, with very few mid-block luminaires along arterial streets. Arterial corridors generally lack sidewalks and, in most cases, are poorly lit. . The largest traffic volumes exist along east/west arterial routes, which provide access to 1-5. Review Draft December 2003 F-11 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs . Over half of the arterial roadway miles within the study area have accident rates that are higher than the average King County accident rates. King County has been responsible for maintenance of public roadways and accompanying facilities such as shoulders, sidewalks, traffic signs, striping and signals, guardrails, and landscaping. These responsibilities would transfer to the City upon annexation. King County Metro would continue to maintain transit service under the City jurisdiction. The responsibilities of maintaining State Route 99, 161, and 181 within the PAA as mandated by RCW 47.24.20 would transfer from WSDOT to the City. SUMMARY OF EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE RESULTS AND NEEDED CAPITAL PROJECTS Six grades of level-of-service (LOS) are defined for traffic operational analysis. They are given letter designations A through F, with LOS A representing the best range of operating conditions and LOS F the worst. The specific terms in which each level of service is defined vary with the type of transportation facility involved. In general, LOS A describes a free-flowing condition in which individual vehicles in the traffic stream are not affected by the presence of other vehicles. LOS F generally describes a breakdown in operations that occurs when traffic arriving at a point is greater than the facility's capacity to discharge the traffic flow; consequently, vehicle queues develop. The purpose of the intersection LOS analysis is to identify LOS deficiencies in the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA) and then evaluate the improvements that will be needed to meet the City's LOS standard - intersection level of service of E. In the base year, the LOS analysis was done by using actual traffic counts between years 2000 to 2002. Analysis indicated that all signalized intersections operated at an acceptable LOS during the PM peak hour and most unsignalized intersections were operating at an acceptable LOS. Exceptions included: S 288th Street at 51st Avenue S S 296th Street at 51st Avenue S SR 99 at 16th Avenue S LOSF LOSF LOSF At the intersection of S 288th Street and 51St Avenue S, there are two-lane approaches on the south and west legs and a single lane approach on the east leg. Providing an additional westbound left turn lane on the east approach will improve the level of service. At intersection S 296th Street at 51st Avenue S, there is a stop control for westbound traffic and the installation of traffic signal and north and south bound left turn pockets will improve the level of Review Draft December 2003 F-12 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs service at the intersection. At the intersection of SR 99 and 16th Avenue S, there is an unsignalized left turn pocket and 16th Avenue is a right turn only onto SR 99. The installation of a signal would improve the LOS for left and right turns as well as provide a safer pedestrian crossing. Completing these improvements would cost approximately $2,241,000 as shown on Table F-9. Table F-9.

The future land use projection analyzed is based on the City's market forecast for the PAA. In order to determine a future road network, the City provided a future street improvement list by analyzing the Transportation Improvement Programs, comprehensive plans, and near term transportation improvement projects of King County, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the City of Federal Way. In order to analyze the year 2020 LOS, future intersection volumes were estimated using a calibrated EMME/2 transportation model. On behalf of the City, Mirai Associates developed the EMME/2 model based on the forecasted land use and future transportation improvements described briefly above. Overall the most congested locations included are those with two-way stop control, and those located in the Military Road corridor. The average vehicle delay and LOS changes (from the base year 2000 to the horizon year 2020) are: Congested Locations Military Road S at S 272nd Street Military Road S at S 320th Street S 277th Street at 55th Avenue S S 288th Street at 51st Avenue S Military Road S at S 312th Street Peasley Canyon Way S at S Peasley Canyon Rd Military Road S at Peasley Canyon Way S Average Vehicle Delay and LOS Change from 42 see to 116 see, from D to F from 27 see to 73 see, from C to E from 59 see to 195 see, from E to F from 64 see to 361 see, from F to F Exceeds calculable limits (ECL) from 26 see to 351 see, from D to F from 34 see to 559 see, from D to F Review Draft December 2003 F-13 ANNEXATION FEASIBiliTY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs Congested locations Military Road S at S Star Lake Road (N Jct.) 51st Avenue S at S 296th Street Military Road S at S 360th Street 28th Avenue S at S 360th Street SR 99 at 16th Avenue S Average Vehicle Delay and LOS Change from 39 see to ECL, from E to F from 106 see to 996 see, from F to F from 22 see to ECL, from C to F from 46 see to 770 see, from E to F Exceeds calculable limits (ECL) Based on identified deficiencies, lowest cost capacity improvements were identified to attain City standards.

Source: Jones & Stokes 2003 Notes: A WSC = All way stop control TWSC = Two way stop control Sec = second Roadway Improvement Cost Estimates The total estimated capital cost for roadway improvements in the P AA, existing and future needs to achieve levels of service, is $10,882,000 through 2020. When broken down into six-year increments, this total divides roughly into thirds, as shown in Table F-11. As noted previously, about 21% of the total capital facility cost estimate is related to existing deficiencies ($2,241,000). Table F-11. Estimated Capital Cost for Roadway LOS Improvements Years Capital Cost $3,704,000 $3,323,000 $3,855,000 2002 - 2007 2008 - 2014 2015 - 2020 Source: Jones & Stokes, 2003 The largest capital project is Military Road South widening between South 272nd Street and South Star Lake Road. This project consists of widening Military Road South from 2 and 3 lanes to 5 lanes wide along the entire distance of the project. The total cost of this project is $2,571,000. This project is located in the Northeast Subarea. Of the three subareas in the P AA, the Northeast Subarea has the largest estimated roadway cost at $7,561,000. The largest part of this is the Military Road South project described above. The Southeast Subarea has an estimated roadway capital cost of $3,039,000, with the largest project Review Draft F-16 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs consisting of a $1,188,000 improvement to the Military Road South/South 360th Street intersection. The Redondo East Subarea has a total roadway cost of $282,000, which consists entirely of the SR 99/16th Avenue South intersection improvement project. While the roadway capital cost focus consists of the improvements required to ensure the City's intersection LOS would be met, other capital costs may be incurred to bring essentially rural road standards to the City's urban road standards (e.g. curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving of public gravel or public bituminous surface roads). These road cross-section improvements may be made incrementally as new development makes street frontage improvements, or through local improvement districts, or other means. The road cross-section estimates were made in a preliminary fashion for order of magnitude level of analysis, using as a basis data provided by the County on lane miles, feet of sidewalk, etc. in the P AA. The cost of providing drainage facilities is included in the paving estimate instead of the curb and gutter estimate. The estimated cost of the road cross-section improvements is $62,971,000. Paving costs total $33,100,000, curb and gutter costs total $11,532,000, and sidewalks costs total $18,339,000. The Northeast Subarea and Southeast Subarea have similar road cross-section costs at $30,900,000 and $32,000,000 respectively. The cross-section improvements in Redondo East Subarea total $71,000. Reviewing PAA Inventory maps regarding the locations of sidewalks, gravel roads and other features, additional paving in the Northeast Subarea would be most needed in the Star Lake community, with sidewalks spread throughout the remainder of the Northeast Subarea. Paving in the Southeast Subarea would be mostly needed in the Lakeland and Jovita communities, with sidewalks spread throughout the remainder of the Southeast Subarea. All LOS project costs listed in Table F -12 assume a 30 percent contingency factor. See Appendix A for detailed cost calculations for each listed roadway project. Table F-12.

The line items included roadway pavement, storm drainage, lighting, etc. These broad categories included a number of related items. For example the storm drainage line item includes all piping, catch basins, culverts, manholes, inlets, water quality, and detention facilities. Typical industry percentage values of construction costs were used to establish such items as mobilization, design, construction engineering, and contingencies. In the case of right-of-way estimates unit prices from values used in other suburban areas were used. These values assume the right-of-way acquisition is a strip of land fronting the property and involves no improvements, such as a house, and include negotiation and appraisal costs. Inflation was not included as all revenue projections are in current dollars. Once the unit prices were determined project scopes of work were developed with several key elements: length of project, pavement width, sidewalk width, need for retaining walls, SEP A process, and terrain. These elements were multiplied by the unit prices as appropriate to determine the category line item estimate. In the case of some projects where the terrain was rolling or a new roadway alignment was proposed additional expenses were included for grading. See Appendix A for detailed cost calculations for each listed roadway project. Review Draft December 2003 F-19 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs SURFACE WATER INTRODUCTION The PAA is almost entirely within the nearly level upland plateau which is immediately adjacent to steep slopes at the edge of the Green and White River valleys, and Puget Sound (in the case of the Redondo Subarea). As a result, historical stormwater systems within the P AA include a series of lake and wetland complexes that drain in steep ravines to the rivers and streams below. The most distinctive characteristic of the PAA is that most of the area is a headwater to several significant streams (Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek). Five drainage basins have been identified by King County and City of Federal Way within the P AA: Lower Green River, Mill Creek, White River, Hylebos Creek, and Lower Puget Sound. Within these various drainage basins, the P AA contains a variety of surface water facilities that require inspection and maintenance by several County divisions and/or property owners as listed in Tables F-13 through F-15: Table F-13 In-Road Suñace Water Facilities Measurement Unit Redondo Northeast Southeast Facility Subarea Subarea Subarea Curb And Gutter LF lineal feet 1,902 252,806 92,206 Catch Basin & Manhole EA each 19 1,361 633 Paved Ditch And Gutter LF lineal feet 0 755 450 Open Ditch LF lineal feet 707 85,292 81,916 SP lineal feet Enclosed System storm pipe 1,557 149,913 70,980 Cross Tile And Access EA each 9 985 699 Cross Culverts EA each 7 614 332 Curb & Gutter and Thick RM road mile 0.3 55.2 22.5 Bridge Drains EA each 0 6 6 Auxiliary Pipe LF lineal feet 1 2,697 1,611 Trash Racks EA each 0 0 0 Headwalls EA each 0 1 0 Cross Culverts LF lineal feet 0 590 0 Box Culverts EA each 0 0 0 RID Facilities EA each 0 2 1 Source: King County Roads Division, January 2002 Review Draft December 2003 F-20 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs Table F-14 Regional Stormwater Facilities Address 4700 S 292nd St. (immediately east of 4613 S 292nd ) 29800 36th PI.

Surface Water Level of Service Analysis, July 11, 2003. Federal Way's standards and rules for maintenance of stormwater control facilities, including criteria for City maintenance of private facilities, are found in the Federal Way Municipal Code Sections 21-26, 21-27, and 21-28. Federal Way does not accept responsibility for maintenance of private facilities in its jurisdiction unless an easement has been granted to the City, and it is in the City's interest to provide maintenance. The City may maintain residential stormwater control facilities if they meet City design standards, and if the facilities serve a residential subdivision or plat. Review Draft December 2003 F-21 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs Surface water capital project costs were developed to address the following items: . Capital Improvement Project (CIP) costs identified in previous studies. . Pond cleaning operations to bring stormwater ponds to City of Federal Way standards. This is considered major maintenance and part of capital improvements. . Ditch cleaning operations to bring ditches to City of Federal Way standards. This is considered major maintenance and part of capital im provements. . Problem areas within the P AA identified by King County Road Maintenance Services Division 3. SURFACE WATER CAPITAL COST OVERVIEW The total estimated capital cost of surface water improvements in the P AA is $4,719,000. Over half the cost ($2,578,000) would be allocated to the Southeast P AA to address known capital proposals from previous basin studies or identified deficiencies by King County Roads Division. Known capital proposals or deficiencies in the Northeast P AA would result in another 25% of the cost, roughly, at $1,074,000. The final category of capital proposals are general area improvements applicable to the P AA as a whole, except Redondo, totaling another 25% roughly, $1,067,000. These include ditch cleaning, storm water facility cleaning, and unspecific capital improvements under the Federal Way Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan. The total cost is to occur in the period 2002-2007, and is largely related to correction of known existing deficiencies, either in terms of major maintenance or in terms of completing capital projects identified in prior basin studies or King County Road Division identified problems; additional deficiencies may be found when the needed new basin studies are conducted for the P AA. No surface water capital improvements are anticipated for the Redondo East Subarea. A detailed breakdown of costs by project and community is provided in Table F-16.

(7) There are several projects identified in the Mill Creek SAMP and Mill Creek Basin Flood Management Plan. These projects are not within the PAA, however the City of Federal Way may be asked to help adjacent jurisdictions with cost sharing in the future if annexation occurs because King County was identified as a possible agency which could provide cost sharing and because of the location of the headwaters for these projects within the P AA. However, there has been no determination of specific cost share by Federal Way. SURFACE WATER CAPITAL FACILITIES - NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS Appendix B contains a more complete discussion of methods and assumptions. A summary of key assumptions is provided below: . A planning estimate of $300,000 is assumed for a comprehensive drainage study and master plan for the P AA. The drainage study would include an inventory of the existing drainage system and stormwater facilities. The study and master plan would identify additional future capital improvement requirements. This cost was assigned as an area-wide project. For the purposes of this cost estimate, the timing for the study and master plan development and subsequent implementation of capital improvements was assumed as follows: 2007 Completion of study and master plan, and approval of funding (assuming annexation within the next few years, completion of Review Draft December 2003 F-24 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs the study/master plan and funding of initial projects could be approximately 2-3 years later, with public participation and review) 2008 Begin funding and construction of planned capital improvements from the study and master plan. (Note: some emergency construction may begin earlier.) 2020 Completion of planned capital improvements. . Cost estimates were developed for major maintenance problems identified by King County Road Maintenance Services Division 3. Windshield visits were made to locations with continuing problems. Applicable projects are identified in Appendix B and as project numbers 4.02, 7.01, 7.02, and 7.03 in Table F-16. . For most storm water conveyance problems, retrofits were assumed to provide for sufficient cost estimate for repair, replacement, or alternative solution. Some of the problem locations may have had incremental improvements over the years and may require only further incremental improvement. For the most part, retrofits were assumed to apply in the form of catch basins and inlets. Unique problems, such as water over road conditions (Project 7.03), were given planning level estimates for redesign and construction. . All estimated stormwater projects and studies were assumed to be completed by 2007. . Cost data for estimates were derived from the following sources: 1. Federal Way estimates for ditch cleaning, with a 33% contingency. 2. Federal Way staff information for pond cleaning costs. Pond facilities (wet ponds, infiltration facilities, etc.) were estimated at $5,000 per facility. Other facilities (catch basins, tanks, etc.) were assumed at $1,000 per facility. The costs were assumed to include some contingency; therefore, no additional contingency was applied. 3. Planning cost estimates for stormwater facilities developed for the City of Auburn 2002 Comprehensive Drainage Plan. Conveyance costs included a ratio of four catch basins per 300 feet. When individual catch basins or manholes were indicated, separate cost estimates for the catch basin or manhole were made, using the planning cost estimates developed for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) outfall inventory project (2002). Review Draft F-25 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs 4. Costs for certain storm water facilities, and costs for mobilization, traffic control, tax, engineering, and land acquisition were obtained from planning cost estimates developed for WSDOT outfall inventory project (2002). 5. A contingency of 100% was applied to project estimates due to their very preliminary nature. Permitting costs were assumed to be included in the contingency. SURFACE WATER COSTS EXCLUDED FROM CAPITAL FACILITY ESTIMATE . Maintenance facility space due to additional space needs for Surface Water Management personnel and operations, while a capital improvement that would be funded out of the Surface Water Management CIP, is annualized and separately included in the overall operating cost (Chapter B) of an expanded Federal Way municipal government. To avoid redundancy, the facility cost is omitted from the Surface Water Management CIP tabulation included with this review. . There are several projects identified in the Mill Creek Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) and Mill Creek Basin Flood Management Plan. These projects are not within the P AA and were not included in this cost estimate. However, the City of Federal Way may be asked to help adjacent jurisdictions with cost sharing in the future if annexation occurs. King County was identified as a possible agency, which could provide cost sharing; the headwaters for these projects are located within the P AA. However, there has been no determination of specific cost share by Federal Way. The projects identified are as follows, with costs in 1997 dollars: 1. Bingaman Creek Levee Overflow Improvements - within King County - $6,000 2. Study of Mullen Slough Intercept Hillside Drainage - within King County - $20,000 3. Sediment Trap on Peasley Canyon Tributary - within the City of Auburn - $610,000 WATER AND WASTEWATER Water and Wastewater infrastructure and services are provided by special districts rather than the City of Federal Way, but would affect the timing and rate of growth, and may have a bearing upon the phasing of annexations in the Potential Annexation Area.

In reviewing these tables, the following should be noted: . Most projects reviewed in the two utility districts are scheduled for completion prior to 2008. The Lakehaven Utility District has a Wastewater diversion project that extends to 2010. . The Highline Water District has two main replacement projects in the Star Lake neighborhood. These projects are part of an overall $2.1 million water main replacement projects and separate costs were not available. . The Lakehaven CIP includes a project that spans the Star Lake and Camelot neighborhoods. In Table F-18, all costs were assigned to the Star Lake neighborhood with a note explaining the project is shared with the Camelot neighborhood. OTHER GOVERNMENT FACILITIES GENERAL GOVERNMENT Both the City of Federal Way and King County must provide facilities to support a variety of general government operations, including: . Administration . Court services . Community/senior centers, and . Maintenance bases. No County general government facilities are located in the P AA. There are no County plans for additional capital facilities related to general government at this time. With the exception of community/senior centers, which are addressed under Parks & Recreation above, General Government facilities are addressed in Chapter B, Operating Costs. The operational cost impact analysis addresses general government facilities in terms of net additional investment estimates based on calculations of additional staff that would be needed to provide services to the P AA. Review Draft December 2003 F-29 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs EMERGENCY SERVICES: POLICE AND FIRE Police Services The King County Sheriff provides police protection services to the P AA. The P AA is served by Precinct 3, George Sector, with its headquarters in Maple Valley. However, there is a local storefront police station near Lake Dolloff in the Camelot neighborhood. The substation is not manned for general public visitors, and one must call and leave a message. No County capital facility improvements are planned in the P AA regarding police services at this time. At the time of incorporation, the City contracted with the King County Sheriffs Department for police services. In the spring of 1995, the City decided to terminate its contract relationship with King County and form its own police department. The City's Public Safety Department began limited service on September 16, 1996, and was fully operational on October 16, 1996. Federal Way's Public Safety Department could be expanded at some time in the future so that it could effectively provide services to the P AA. Regarding capital and operating costs of police services, two items should be considered, space needs for additional staff and patrol vehicles. Federal Way considers police cars as capital cost in the City's annual budget rather than a Capital Improvement Program item. Replacement/reserve costs are budgeted for each vehicle in the annual budget. Staff space needs are addressed as net additional investment estimates based on calculations of additional staff that would be needed to provide services to the P AA. Both space needs and patrol vehicles are addressed in Chapter B, Operating Costs. Fire Services The PAA is served by four of the Federal Way Fire Department's six: stations. One of these stations is located outside of the P AA, within the Redondo area. The other fire stations serving the P AA are located within the Lakeland and Camelot community subareas. The fire station in the Camelot area lies on the border of the Camelot and North Lake community sub areas. Regarding fire services and capital facilities, the Federal Way Fire Department's Master Plan identifies the new facilities the Department will need to continue providing service as its service area, City and P AA plus other areas, grows. The City has included the Department's new facilities requirements and cost and revenue estimates in the City's Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities chapter. The PAA study team has reviewed the Fire Department Master Plan and has not found capital projects directly related to the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area alone. It should be noted that a 1996 Des Moines annexation (WoodmontlRedondo) could result in an area currently served by the Federal Way Fire Department, to be served by Fire District 26, if either party should give the required 12-month notice to eliminate the contract allowing the Federal Way Review Draft December 2003 F-30 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Costs Fire Department to continue providing service. If the contract is eliminated, District 26 would take ownership of Station 66. The Federal Way Fire Department has purchased property at South 288th and Interstate 5 as a contingency against that possibility. This would accommodate the building of a new station that is more centrally located in the north end of the City. This realignment of stations, response areas, and revenues would require closure of Station 65 (4966 South 298th). Both Stations 65 and 66 serve portions of the Federal Way P AA.

Review Draft F-32 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Revenue Capital Facilities Revenue REVENUES FOR CAPITAL COSTS Cities receive revenues from a variety of sources. Some of the revenues are for ongoing operations and maintenance of government services and programs. Those revenues are described in an earlier chapter of this study. There are a few revenue sources that can be used for capital improvements. This chapter describes revenues that can be used to pay for the costs of capital improvements described in the preceding chapter. REVENUE SOURCES CURRENTLY COLLECTED BY FEDERAL WAY The City currently collects two sources of revenue that it uses for capital improvements. The real estate excise tax (REET) is required by state law to be used for capital, and the City's policy is to use its utility tax revenue for capital improvements. Upon annexation, these revenues would be collected in the PAA subareas. Table G-l shows the annual revenue from these two sources that would be generated from the P AAs. Table G-1. Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Capital Revenue All Capital Revenues Northeast Southeast Redondo Subareas Real Estate Excise Taxes $ 300,000 $ 222,000 $ 7,000 $ 530,000 Utility Taxes (Capital) 694,000 480,000 20,000 1,194,000 Electric Utility 185,000 120,000 6,000 311,000 Natural Gas 111,000 71,000 3,000 184,000 Telephone 251,000 182,000 6,000 439,000 Cable TV 95,000 69,000 2,000 166,000 Solid Waste 45,000 33,000 1,000 80,000 Surface Water Management 7,000 5,000 0 13,000 Total $ 995,000 $ 702,000 $ 27,000 $1,724,000 Source: ECONorthwest 2003 The City also collects some money from mitigations of impacts on roads and parks. These payments are collected on a case-by-case pursuant to the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) requirements and State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). The City is presently developing impact fees for roads and parks. Review Draft December 2003 G-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Revenue OTHER REVENUE SOURCES There are a number of other revenue sources that can be used for capital improvements. The revenue sources for capital improvements are organized according to the type of capital improvements listed in the earlier parts of this chapter: . Parks and Recreation . Roads . Surface Water . Water and Wastewater . Other Government Facilities Generally, the list of other revenue sources does not include estimates of the amount that could be generated. It is difficult to predict the success that the City would have competing with other cities for grants. Impact fees cannot be charged for existing deficiencies, and the calculation of revenue from impact fees for new development would require formulas or similar methods and a special study, as required by state statutes. Voted general obligation bonds are limited to 2.5 percent of the assessed value of the area, but other factors, such as existing debt and credit-worthiness affect the amount that could be borrowed. Utility fees require special rate studies to forecast both the rates and the total revenue that would be generated by such rates. P ARKS AND RECREATION There are at least five revenue sources that can be used for parks and recreational facility capital improvements: . Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account . General Obligation (Voted) Bonds (repaid by property tax levy) . lAC Grants (Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation) . Impact Fees (per Growth Management Act, RCW 82.02.050 et seq) . Park Land Dedication or Fees-in-Lieu The City collects some money from mitigations of impacts on parks pursuant to the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) requirements and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). As noted previously, the City is considering a park impact fee. The City may also apply for and receive lAC Review Draft December 2003 G-2 ROADS ANNEXATION FEASIBiliTY STUDY Capital Facilities Revenue grants for parks, but the selection process is difficult to forecast and historical averages are generally poor predictors of future revenue.! There are at least ten revenue sources that can be used for road capital improvements: . Arterial Improvement Program (grant) . Commercial Parking Tax . General Obligation (Voted) Bonds (repaid by property tax levy) . Impact Fees (per Growth Management Act, RCW 82.02.050 et seq) . Motor Vehicle License Fee . Pedestrian Safety and Mobility Program (grant) . Public Works Trust Fund (low interest loans and grants) . SEP A (State Environmental Policy Act) Mitigation Payments . Special Districts (Local improvement districts, road improvement districts, transportation benefit districts) . Surface Transportation Program (grant) . Transportation Partnership Program (grant) In addition, some of the road cross-section improvements may be made incrementally as new development makes street frontage improvements, or through local improvement districts, or other means. An analysis of the proposed road improvement projects indicates that some of them are eligible for grants totaling approximately $1 million.2 The amount ! Currently, the IAC administers several State grant programs as well as some Federal programs where IAC submits its approved applications for Federal Agency approval. Grant programs include (as of 2003): Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA), Boating Facilities Program (BFP), Firearms and Archery Range Recreation Program (F ARR), Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities Program (NOVA), Washington Wildlife Recreation Program (WWRP), Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF), Federal Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIG), National Recreational Trails Program (NRTP), Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). At the time ofthis writing, criteria for grants can be found at the IAC website, http://www.iac.wa.gov/iac/grants.asp. 2 Based upon a review of transportation capital facility projects in Chapter F between consultants and City staff, grant funding may be possible for the following projects: Review Draft G-3 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Capital Facilities Revenue of mitigation payments that may be collected in the P AA depends on whether they are based on SEPA (like Federal Way's current approach) or on GMA impact fees (like King County's program, and a program being evaluated by Federal Way). SURFACE WATER There is one revenue source that is typically used for surface water capital improvements: . Surface Water Utility Fee The City would likely maintain current City policy that Surface Water Management (SWM) costs would be covered by Surface Water Fees within the structure of the Surface Water Enterprise Fund. This strategy would require increased SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM services in an amount totaling $538,000 (the difference in the PAA between estimated SWM operating costs ($823,000) given current service levels and estimated revenues ($285,000), The same policy would require an additional increase in SWM fees and/or decreased levels of SWM services in amount totaling $4.7 million over 18 years (which is $262,166 per year) to cover the capital costs of stormwater improvements. WATER AND WASTEWATER The City of Federal Way does not provide water and wastewater services as these are provided by the local water and sewer utility districts, Highline and Lakehaven. For these districts, there is one revenue source that is typically used for water and wastewater capital improvements: . User Fees (water and sewer rates paid by customers) Other revenue sources that can be used for water and wastewater capital improvements include: . Grants (i.e., Centennial Clean Water Fund, Department of Health, Community Development Block Grants,) Military Road widening, south of 272nd Street, combined with intersection improvements at 272nd Street, would be Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) eligible. . Peasley Canyon Way at either terminus may be HESS eligible. . The two new signals on S. 360th Street, if combined with a signal upgrade or interconnection with the signal at Enchanted Parkway may be CMAQ eligible. Grant funds of $1 million were generally assumed overall. It is likely that the grant funds would be solicited for projects in the Northeast PAA (first two bullets) given their total project costs.

Review Draft G-6 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact of Capital Costs and Revenues Net Fiscal Impact of Capital Costs and Revenues INTRODUCTION In order to analyze the net fiscal impact of capital costs and revenues, we ask the same three questions as in the chapter on net fiscal impact of operations, but with a different, longer-range time horizon: 1. What are the capital cost impacttif one or more of the study areas were a fully-functioning part of the City of Federal Way, how much additional capital costs would the City expect to incur to extend its existing levels of services to those areas? 2. What revenues would the areas generate to defray these costs! What revenue would the City generate for capital improvements 11 it applied its current tax structure to each of the PAAs for a period of20 years? 3. What are the net capital revenues! By answering these three questions, we are able to identify the net capital fiscal impact of annexation. The net impact will indicate the need for strategies that would help make the annexation of all or part of the P AA acceptable to the City and the area that would annex to Federal Way. CAPITAL REVENUES As noted in the chapter on capital revenues, Federal Way currently collects two sources of revenue that it uses for capital improvements: the real estate excise tax (REET) and utility taxes. Upon annexation, these revenues would be collected in the P AA subareas. Table H-l shows the annual revenue from these sources that would be generated from the potential annexation areas. The annual revenue projections are extended for a period of 18 years because the planning horizon is through the year 2020, and capital improvements have long useful lives. Table H-l also includes the transportation grant revenue that was described in Chapter G.

It is not possible to forecast the amount of money to be received from the P AA from these sources because the underlying basis of such payments has not been determined for the P AA, and the City is considering changing from SEPA-based mitigations to GMA-based impact fees. Nevertheless, it is clear that the City would receive money from these sources that would offset some of the cost of capital improvements. The City may also apply for and receive lAC grants for parks, but the selection process is difficult to forecast and historical averages are generally poor predictors of future revenue. CAPITAL COSTS The chapter on capital costs (Chapter F) provided a projection of the costs of parks, roads, and stormwater facilities needed to provide the PAAs with Federal Way's urban level of service. Table H-2 summarizes those costs. <:N ater and wastewater costs are excluded since those services are provided by separate utility districts.)

NET FISCAL IMPACT The net fiscal impact is determined by comparing the revenue from Table H-1 to the costs from Table H-2. If the net revenue is negative, (i.e. an area generates a net cost), then these net costs could manifest themselves in the form of (1) increased taxes, (2) decreased services, or most likely, (3) some combination of the two.

The annual net impact would average $904,640. City policy for surface water (and other enterprise activities) is to cover costs with fee revenue. Assuming that the City would use enterprise policy to cover the $4.7 million cost of storm water capital, the remaining deficit would be $11,564,520 (which is an annual average of $642,473). Review Draft December 2003 H-3 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Net Fiscal Impact of Capital Costs and Revenues Also, as indicated above, the City will receive money from mitigation payments and/or impact fees that will reduce the amount of the deficit for capital improvements. Review Draft H-4 December 2003 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies Implementation Strateg ies INTRODUCTION The City of Federal Way would experience a significant negative fiscal impact on its operating budget if the Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas were annexed to the City and the City used the same revenue sources and rates, and provided the same level of services as it provides to the residents and businesses in the current boundaries of the City. The annual deficit would be just under $3.6 million. The cost of providing the City's levels of service in the PM would exceed revenues from the PM by 70 percent annually. Another way of understanding the fiscal impact of the $3.6 million deficit is to see how it compares to the combined revenue of the City of Federal Way and the combined Eastern annexation area. If Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast annexation subareas are viewed as a single City of over 105,000 population, the annual deficit of $3.6 million equals 6 percent of the combined operating revenue. It's like running a business that loses 6 percent every year. In addition, the City of Federal Way would experience major costs for capital improvements in the Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas (see Chapters F and H). In this section of our analysis we present six types of implementation strategies that the City of Federal Way could employ to address the significant negative fiscal impacts of annexation: 1. State and County Support 2. Local Taxpayers 3. Tax Base Expansion 4. Special Districts 5. Reduced or Phased Levels of Service 6. Phased Annexation In the future, new strategies may be developed that are not available at this time. Conversely, some strategies identified in this study might not be available in the future. No individual strategy or combination of strategies will make annexation feasible for the Major or Community Level Subareas (other than Redondo), without significant sacrifices or costs to the City in the form of reduced levels Review Draft December 2003' 1-1 ANNEXATION FEASIBiliTY STUDY Implementation Strategies of service or financial impacts to citizens. Annexation of smaller areas involve portions of the cost of the entire P AA, therefore requests for small area annexations should be reviewed in the context of the annexation strategies described below. STATE AND COUNTY SUPPORT While the City of Federal Way is in compliance with the requirements of Washington's Growth Management Act, it is unable to proceed with annexations without incurring significant negative financial impacts. One strategy the City could pursue is to indicate that its ability to annex the Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas is contingent upon the State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of such annexations. NEW LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX In 2003, the State Legislature passed and the Governor signed the so-called "Tri-Association" financing package. One part of the bill includes a County- wide, voter approved sales tax of 0.3 percent. Forty percent of the tax would be distributed to cities based on population. A preliminary estimate of the revenue from the local option sales tax indicates approximately $600,000 per year would be available for the annexation area (and an additional $2.4 million per year for the City of Federal Way's existing population). STATE INCENTIVES An untested, but legally feasible strategy would be for Federal Way to apply for a special grant from the State of Washington's Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development to underwrite some portion of the fiscal impacts of implementing Washington's Growth Management Act by annexing Redondo East, Southeast and/or Northeast P AA Major Subareas. COUNTY MITIGATION PAYMENT SYSTEM King County has a Mitigation Payment System (a form of road impact fee) that is collected throughout the unincorporated County, including Redondo East, Southeast and Northeast PAA Major Subareas. Historically, newly incorporated cities, and some cities annexing large areas have the view that the mitigation payments "belong" to the city. Naturally, if the County has expended the money, particularly if the projects were in and/or serve the area that paid the money, then the annexing City has already received the benefit of the mitigation payments. If King County has money that it has collected from the Potential Annexation Area but not yet spent or committed, the County could provide the revenue to the City or use it for capital improvements to help the road system in the annexation area. Review Draft December 2003 1-2 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies STATE GRANTS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS There are a number of state grant programs for local government capital improvements, as described in the chapter on capital revenues. These include grants for parks, roads, and other capital improvements. At a minimum, after annexation Federal Way could apply for grants to provide parks and road improvements in the PAA subareas. The City could offer to share the matching cost of grants that King County could apply for and use to improve facilities in Federal Way's PAA. A more far-reaching strategy would be for the State of Washington to earmark portions of their grant programs to be given as incentives to cities that implement Growth Management Act goals by annexing P AAs to provide urban levels of service. COUNTY INCENTIVES In August 2003, it was reported that King County will offer a total of $10 million to a number of cities that annex unincorporated areas in their potential annexation areas. Details were not announced, and will depend on the County's budget decisions. LOCAL TAXPAYERS SHARE EQUALLY THE COST OF ANNEXATION The annual deficit of the Northeast and Southeast Major Subarea revenue compared to operating cost is just under $3.6 million (assuming current rates and revenue sources). The City could use one or more general taxes to have all taxpayers in Federal Way and the combined annexation area share in paying the annual operating deficit. PROPERTY TAXES (VOTED EXCESS LEVY) If the amount were to be paid by property owners, it would require an increase in the City's levy rate to be applied equally to all property owners, including City of Federal Way, and the three annexation areas: Redondo, Southeast and Northeast. The combined taxable value of the City and the 2 annexation areas is estimated to be $7.17 billion in 2003. A property tax levy increase of $0.50 per $1,000 of taxable property would be needed to generate the additional $3.6 million in operating revenue ($150 per year on a $300,000 home). The property tax levy could only be imposed if approved by a majority of voters. Since Federal Way is already at the maximum allowable levy, the excess levy would need to be submitted annually for voter approvaF. 1 The 2003 Legislature approved, and the Governor signed, 2ESSB5659, which allows property tax increases of up to 6 percent for periods up to 6 years, subject to voter approval. Continuation of the increased levy would require voter approval every 6 years. Review Draft December 2003 1-3 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies UTILITY TAX If the deficit were to be financed by an increase in utility taxes, it is estimated that current utility taxes (6 percent) would need to be increased to 8.3 percent in order to generate an additional $3.6 million and eliminate the operating deficit. Increases of utility taxes in excess of 6 percent require an election to obtain approval of a majority of voters. This strategy would also require a change in policy by the City of Federal Way. Current policy is to use City utility taxes for capital improvements, rather than operating costs. The City could designate the additional utility tax for operating costs associated with annexation, but that would deprive the City of the same revenue to provide capital improvements in the annexation area. BUSINESS TAX Federal Way could impose a Business and Occupation (B&O) tax in accordance with provisions of the law of the State of Washington. The tax could not exceed 2/10 of one percent of the gross receipts of businesses in Federal Way. While we do not have an accurate accounting of the gross receipts that are generated in Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast P AA Major Subareas, if we assume that those receipts are $2 billion (slightly less than double the taxable retail sales generated in the area), then a B&O tax of 0.18 of one percent would eliminate the operating deficit ($180 per $100,000 of gross sales). Alternatively, the City could use its business licensing authority in a manner similar to Redmond to establish a business license charge ("head tax") for each employee and use the revenue to pay for the operating deficit. Based on an estimated 26,500 non-governmental employees in Federal Way and the Northeast and Southeast Major Subareas, it is estimated that a head tax of $138 per employee per year would eliminate the operating deficit. COMBINATION The City could spread the responsibility among the three types of taxes. If each tax paid for an equal share of the deficit, the property tax would increase approximately $0.17 per $1,000 taxable value, the utility tax would increase to 6.7 percent, and the business tax would be either 0.06 percent of gross receipts, or $46 per employee. VOTED GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS A city can ask voters to approve long-term debt in the form of a general obligation bond that is used to build capital improvements. Typical bond issues provide the borrowed money "up front" to pay for the new capital improvements as quickly as possible. The bonds are repaid over a period of time (typically 20 years) from a special property tax that is approved as part of the ballot measure that authorizes the bonds. Voted general obligation bonds are typically used for parks, but not usually used for roads. Review Draft December 2003 1-4 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies ENTERPRISE FUND REVENUE Like many cities, Federal Way has a policy that costs of enterprise funds, such as Surface Water Management and Solid Waste are to be covered by user fees. Such a strategy would require increased fees and/or decreased levels of services. Federal Way could increase user fees throughout the City and P AA for its stormwater utility and/or solid waste utility and use the proceeds to offset the increased cost of providing those services in the P AA. TAX BASE EXPANSION A long-term strategy for Federal Way could be to increase City revenue by increasing the tax base in the PAA or the tax base in the current City limits. Some businesses, like automobile dealerships, generate significantly more tax revenue than the cost of the public services they receive. Federal Way could explore land use planning, zoning, and economic development strategies in the PAA and/or the City to attract such businesses. Specific techniques could include "planned actions" under SEP A, or special overlay zoning districts. These strategies could be pursued independently by the City of Federal Way, but King County could make annexation more attractive if it were to take the lead in rezoning selected parcels in the P AA in accordance with provisions of the approved Subarea Plan and assisting in the economic development strategies to develop those areas. Caveat The City of Federal Way and the P AAs currently have vacant and underdeveloped land to absorb decades of anticipated commercial growth. Given that developable land is not a constraining factor in attracting development, the only way that rezoning or other land use actions in the P AA would result in an incremental increase in development would be if the action created a specific opportunity for development that does not currently exist in the City or P AA. For instance, parcels in the P AA that are highly visible from highways may provide unique development opportunities. CREATE SPECIAL LIMITED DISTRICTS IN ANNEXATION AREAS TO PAY FOR SPECIFIC COSTS One strategy to generate revenue to pay for Federal Way's level of service in the annexation area would be to create a special district and charge a property tax levy in that district. Washington law allows the creation of limited special purpose districts for a number of purposes, such as roads, parks, transportation, and "local improvements." Voter approval is required to create special districts that have taxing authority. Property owner approval is required to create special districts that use special assessments. Review Draft December 2003 1-5 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies Metropolitan park districts, park and recreation districts, and transportation benefit districts can use their levy for capital improvements, and/or operations and maintenance. Local improvement districts and road improvement districts charge special assessments, rather than property taxes, and the revenue is typically used for capital costs, and not for ongoing operations and maintenance. Special assessments can be blocked by 60 percent of property owners. Caveat There is some risk associated with using special districts as a strategy to pay for providing urban levels of service to Redondo East, Southeast and Northeast Major Subareas. A vote on creating a special taxing district would occur subsequent to an annexation vote. If voters approve annexation, but do not approve the creation of the district(s), the City would be left with insufficient money to provide its level of service. REDUCED OR PHASED INCREASES OF LEVEL OF SERVICE TO MATCH FEDERAL WAY'S STANDARDS REDUCED LEVEL OF SERVICE Another way for the City to address the difference in levels of service between Federal Way and the County would be to permanently provide a lower level of service for one or more services. The reduction could be City-wide (i.e., lower park standards; currently the City is meeting 10.1 acres of parks per 1,000 population but has adopted a standard of 10.9 acres per 1,000) or just in the annexation areas (e.g. lower pavement rating). In addition, the City may explore alternative service delivery strategies or customized strategies for specific neighborhoods. PHASED INCREASES IN LEVEL OF SERVICE One of the main reasons for the significant fiscal impact of annexing Redondo East, Southeast and Northeast is the difference in levels of service provided by Federal Way and King County. The City provides an urban level of service that is typical of a municipality, and King County provides a rural level of service that is commensurate with unincorporated areas. One strategy for addressing the difference in level of service would be to phase-in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. Phasing would reduce costs during the transition, and it would provide Federal Way with time to recruit and hire personnel and acquire facilities and equipment needed to serve the annexation area at Federal Way's level of service. The following is a review of the potential for phased levels of service in the annexation areas. Review Draft December 2003 1-6 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies Building For building services, a phased level of service in the annexation area could involve contracting with King County to continue to provide permitting and inspection services until the City can afford to take on that service itself. Municipal Court, Prosecutor and Public Defender Municipal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over cases in their area, therefore the City of Federal Way would be fully responsible for court cases from the annexation area upon the effective date of the annexation, and the City would not be able to phase court services in the annexation areas. Parks and Community Services The current operating cost estimates for parks and recreation services assume that the City will be operating and maintaining only the parks facilities that currently exist in the P AAs. If the City were to increase park facilities in the P AAs in an attempt to bring the areas up to current City standards, then a phased approach would slow the rate at which additional costs are added. Federal Way could phase-in the parks standards as it is able to acquire more park land. Land for park sites is increasingly difficult to obtain in the urbanizing annexation areas. Land costs are very expensive, and park acquisition may involve purchasing parcels with existing houses that must be demolished in order to create space for parks. Such sites are also available only as the owners choose to put them up for sale. It can take a long period of time to acquire enough adjacent sites to develop as a park. In terms of the current cost estimates, one way that Federal Way could reduce the costs of parks operation and maintenance would be by contracting with King County parks to continue to maintain the parks in the annexation area. Planning and Community Development Planning and community development services do not appear susceptible to "phasing. " Police Federal Way could contract with King County Sheriff to continue its service in the annexation area for a specified number of years. Streets Federal Way could contract with King County Transportation for maintenance of the street system in the annexation area. Review Draft December 2003 1-7 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies Surface Water Federal Way could contract with King County Surface Water Management to continue its service in the annexation area for a specified number of years. Caveat While this strategy raises the possibility of contracting with existing service providers to continue existing levels of service on an interim basis, it is beyond the scope of this study to determine the feasibility of this strategy. Specifically, we have not determined whether or not the County agencies that currently provide the service would be interested and able to provide services under contract, nor have we determined how such contracts would be received by residents of the annexation area. Eventually, phased levels of service will grow to equal the standards achieved by the City of Federal Way. When that occurs, service levels will be the same throughout the City, and the City will experience the full fiscal impacts of those levels of service. A strategy of phasing levels of service postpones, but does not avoid the full fiscal impact of annexation. PHASED ANNEXATION OF REDONDO EAST, SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEAST This strategy would involve annexing those areas that are financially self- supporting first and then annexing other areas later, perhaps in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations. Phased annexation based on fiscal impacts could be accomplished by annexing Redondo first because it has no cash deficit based on operating expenses. The Northeast Major Subarea could be annexed next because its costs exceed revenues by 61 percent. Last to be annexed would be the Southeast Major Subarea, because its costs are more than double the revenue it would generate (i.e., the deficit is 105 percent). Phasing can also be accomplished by smaller areas, such as community subareas. For example, if community subareas were annexed in order of their fiscal impact, from least to most net operating cost, the following would be the phasing sequence: Northlake, Lakeland, Star Lake, Jovita, Camelot, and Parkway. If other Implementation Strategies are considered and employed to determine phasing for annexation. the order might be different than the preceding list. Caveat Phasing annexation emphasizes differences among the areas, leaves the most expensive until last (which reduces the likelihood of it ever annexing), and misses the opportunity to mitigate the apparent differences among areas by taking them all at the same time, thus effectively averaging the "highs" and Review Draft December 2003 1-8 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies "lows" of both revenues and costs. Annexation of smaller areas involve portions of the cost of the entire P AA, therefore requests for small area annexation should be reviewed in the context of the annexation strategies described above. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS - STRATEGIES The purpose of the Annexation Feasibility Study is to estimate the long-term fiscal impact annexation would have on the City of Federal Way. The findings can be viewed as costly (i.e., $3.6 million per year) or bearable (i.e., the shortfall is only 6% of the City's annual budget). The Implementation Strategies identified in this Annexation Feasibility Study provide a menu of options that the City can employ to respond to a variety of factors in each subarea in order to improve the financial feasibility of annexation. Financial feasibility, however, is not the only determinant of annexation. While fiscal strategies have been integrated into the related P AA Subarea Plan, there are other issues considered in annexation, such as natural environment, land use, housing, public facilities and services, public participation, governance and interjurisdictional coordination, and other topics as identified in the Subarea Plan. In considering specific annexation requests or proposals, City officials can review the menu of Implementation Strategies and tailor an annexation approach that meets City policy objectives. Review Draft December 2003 1-9 ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Implementation Strategies This page intentionally blank. Review Draft 1-10 December 2003 Annexation Feasibility Study Post Script Post Script: Future Application of this Document This Annexation Feasibility Study is based upon the methods described in Chapter A, utilizing data from the City, County, Special Districts, and private utilities provided in years 2002 and 2003 as noted throughout the text. The current approach, as outlined in Chapter A, and potential future use of the analysis as annexations are reviewed are summarized below: . Operating Costs and Revenue§:he assessment of operating impacts is based on 2003 costs of service and 2003 tax and fee structures, as outlined in the City of Federal Way 2003/2004 Adopted Budget, and is intended to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state operation. In essence, these estimated steady-state operating impacts reflect the ongoing "costs" that the City would face each year, beginning perhaps, in the third year after annexation and extending into perpetuity. In the initial years of annexation costs could be either higher or lower than the estimated steady- state impacts, depending on how the City chose to manage annexation. Among the determinants of transition-period costs will be the direct and indirect costs of managing the transition and the pace at which the City chooses to ramp up certain, discretionary service levels in the annexed area. Future Use: In the future as individual annexation requests are reviewed, the operating cost and revenue analysis would need to be reviewed for continued applicability and timeliness, and updated and adapted as appropriate. The more current City Adopted budget could be utilized to determine tax and fee structure. The cost drivers and allocation methods to determine costs as described in Chapter B could be updated over time. Depending on need and timing in relation to annexation requests, the P AA operating analysis could be updated in a broader manner during the City's budget preparation process. . Capital Costs and RevenuesEstimated costs of capital improvements are based on the most recent available data (2002) and reflect estimates of the combined investments that will be necessary through the planning horizon of 2020 (all presented in 2002 dollars). There is no material effect on this fiscal analysis from using 2003 operating costs impacts and 2002 capital costs, primarily because the capital improvement costs are expressed in current (2002) dollars regardless of when the projects may be built in the next 20 years. Future Use: In the future as individual annexation requests are reviewed, the capital cost and revenue analysis would need to be reviewed for continued applicability and timeliness, and updated and adapted as appropriate. Over time, costs may change due to inflation or due to new construction requirements not known at the time of this writing. Each capital facility improvement project is based on a series of assumptions that are documented in Chapter F, Appendix A and Appendix B (e.g. cost per acre for parks). Additional funding sources may become available in terms of capital revenues, such as impact fees. At the time of annexation proposal review, the need to apply a cost inflation factor, or to update cost assumptions or revenue sources may be determined. An opportunity to update the capital improvement project costs and revenues in a broad Review Draft PS-1 December 2003 Annexation Feasibility Study Post Script manner could be at the time of Comprehensive Plan Amendment cycles, or City CIP budget preparation cycles. For the Surface Water capital projects, an appropriate time for update would be during any Surface Water Basin studies recommended in the P AA Subarea Plan. For either operating or capital impact analyses, it is important to ensure that the fiscal study methods utilized are appropriate to the size of annexation request under consideration. Much of the data in this analysis was provided at the Major Subarea level, typically due to data availability, although some was available at the Community Subarea level. See Maps A-I andA-2.

[11;] September 2, 2008; Updated December 2008 Memo c: Lisa Grueter, AICP Tony Melone, P.E., Central Files From: Arthur Lee, P.E. Project No.: 2140101 Subject: CIP Cost Estimates for Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Elements in Potential Annexation Area - REVISED MEMO Cost estimates were prepared for a 20-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Water, Sewer, and Surface Water elements in the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (P AA). The CIP tables are attached as Tables CIP 1, CIP 2, CIP 3, and CIP 4. Water and Sewer CIPs The following sources were reviewed in compiling estimates for water and sewer improvements: . 2002 Federal Way Potential Annexation Area Inventory 2002 Capital Improvement Program of the Highline Water District 1997 Lakehaven Utility District Comprehensive Wastewater System Plan 1999 Lakehaven Utility District Comprehensive Water System Plan Update . . . The District Engineers for Lakehaven Utility District and Highline Water District were contacted to determine whether any change in 1heir respective CIPs would occur as a result of the proposed land use plan for the P AA. Both responded that unless there was significant increase in land use intensity from King County designations, the CIPs would not change. The Lakehaven District Engineer noted that any land use change initiated by Federal Way would be incorporated into the upcoming CIP review and development process. The proposed zoning for the P AA was reviewed for differences with the existing King County zoning designations. The proposed zoning generally translated King County designations into Federal Way equivalents. There were several existing conforming areas that were proposed for more intense zoning to recognize existing uses. A few areas were proposed for less intense zoning. Overall, there appeared to be little significant change. A more detailed growth analysis for the P AA for the year 2020 is being developed by Federal Way and may be used for a more detailed evaluation of potential CIP changes when available. CIP cost estimates from the utility districts were adjusted to year 2002 dollars using Means cost indices. Most projects reviewed in the two utility districts were Tetra TechIKCM, Inctt 1917 First Avenue- Seattle, WA 9810.ß.027. Tel 206 443õ300 . Fax 206 443-5372 ~ scheduled for completion prior to 2008. The Lakehaven Utility District had a sewer diversion project that extended to 2010. Project costs were distributed to the seven communities (Redondo East, Star Lake, Camelot, North Lake, Lakeland, Jovita, Parkway) as feasible. The Highline Water District had two main replacement projects in the Star Lake neighborhood. These projects are part of an overall $2.1 million water main replacement project, and separate costs were not available. The Lakehaven CIP included a project (S-8) that spanned the Star Lake and Camelot Neighborhoods. In the CIP cost table for Sewer (LUD), all costs were arbitrarily assigned to the Star Lake neighborhood, with a note explaining the project was shared with Camelot. Federal Way will incur some operating costs as the result of permit review and facilitation, and minor comprehensive plan map and text updates. Permit review may include environmental, traffic, engineering, utility, building, safety, and/or other review components as needed. Review costs are difficult to estimate, as costs are typically reimbursed on an hourly rate basis. The permit review and approval costs are usually included into the estimated capital improvement cost for a project. Since the permit review and approval costs are already included in the capital costs, a separate estimate for permit review and approval by Federal Way is not included in the CIP estimate. The permit review and coordination to be conducted by Federal Way would be considered operating costs, and permit review costs are also anticipated to generate some offsetting revenue from fees. Comprehensive plan map and text updates would occur with annexation to include the new utilities and service areas into Federal Way's maps. These costs would not be reimbursable, but are anticipated to be relatively minor, assuming a separate attachment is made in the interim to update the Comprehensive Plan (i.e., an "update" insert), for the P AA. Mapping and text costs would be incurred for GIS production, writing, and publication. A reissuance of the Comprehensive Plan with the newly annexed area incorporated into the plan would require substantially more effort and cost. Surface Water CIP Surface Water CIP costs were developed for several elements: . Pond cleaning operations to bring stormwater ponds to Federal Way standard. This is considered major maintenance and part of capital improvements. Ditch cleaning operations to bring ditches to Federal Way standard. This is considered major maintenance and part of capital improvements. Maintenance facility space. Comprehensive drainage study and master plan. Problem areas within the P AA identified by King County Road Maintenance Services Division 3. . . . . Page 2 ~ . CIP costs identified in previous studies. Routine maintenance costs such as for street sweeping, stormwater facility maintenance, and Stormwater quality management, were considered part of operations costs and not included in the CIP. While such costs would increase with the inclusion of the P AA due to expansion of service area, the costs were presumed to be covered by the Storm Water Management utility fees collected from the PAA. Project costs were adjusted to 2002 dollars as appropriate and allocated to communities as feasible. The comprehensive drainage study and master plan was assumed to provide review and confirmation of existing major proposed projects, and may develop new projects if needed. The major maintenance work (ditch and pond upgrade), comprehensive drainage study and master plan, and minor problems identified by King County Maintenance Div. 3, were considered near term projects which could be implemented within a few years of annexation. The drainage study and master plan would enable a comprehensive review of surface water problems and provide the basis for future capital improvements to the year 2020. More discussion is given below on the cost estimates. Costs for capital improvements to the year 2020 would be funded out of the Surface Water Management Utility (SWM utility) fund, which would have the ability to use rates to recover costs, and would be separate from operational costs. All projects identified from previous special studies were scheduled for the 2002- 2007 timeframe. Costs were broken out by design and construction components where feasible. Certain costs were given only as totals from original sources and were stated as such. There are several projects identified in the Mill Creek SAMP and Mill Creek Basin Flood Management Plan. These projects are not within the P AA, however the City of Federal Way may be asked to help adjacent jurisdictions with cost sharing in the future if annexation occurs because King County was identified as a possible agency which could provide cost sharing and because of the location of the headwaters for these projects within the P AA. However, there has been no determination of specific cost share by Federal Way. The projects identified are as follows, with costs in 1997 dollars: . Bingaman Creek Levee Overflow Improvements - within King County - $6,000 . Study of Mullen Slough Intercept Hillside Drainage - within King County - $20,000 . Sediment Trap on Peasley Canyon Tributary - within the City of Auburn - $610,000 Due to the date of the basin study in 1997, some of these projects may have begun and may have received funding from other sources. Page 3 ~ A planning estimate of $300,000 was made for a comprehensive drainage study and master plan for the P AA. The drainage study would include an inventory of the existing drainage system and stormwater facilities. The study and master plan would identify additional future capital improvement requirements. For the purposes of this cost estimate, the timing for the study and master plan development and subsequent implementation of capital improvements was assumed as follows: 2007 Completion of study and master plan, and approval of funding (assuming annexation within the next few years, completion of the study/master plan and funding of initial projects could be approximately 2-3 years later, with public participation and review) 2008 Begin funding and construction of planned capital improvements from the study and master plan. (Note: some emergency construction may begin earlier.) 2020 Completion of planned capital improvements. Cost estimates were developed for major maintenance problems identified in Table 2 from the Surface Water Level of Service report, which are attached to this memo (with corrections noted below). Figure ß 1, showing the problem locations is also attached. Windshield visits were made to locations with continuing problems. In a recent update from King County Road Maintenance, some locations had previously reported problems which had been fixed or were no longer problems. The revised statuses are given below in a revised Table 2. Address corrections to Table 2 were follows: . Problem 3 was originally indicated at 28662 36th Place South, and should be at 29662 36th Place South. Problem 4 was indicated at S. 298th Street and 35th Place South, and should be at S. 298th Street and 36th Place South . Table 3 in the Surface Water LOS report listed problems near to but outside of the P AA. No estimate was developed for these problems since no cost share for Federal Way had been determined. A recent update from King County Road Maintenance indicated that the following problems no longer exist due to development or upgrade. The revised statuses are given below in a revised Table 3. Cost data for estimates were derived from the following sources: . . Federal Way estimates for ditch cleaning, with a 33% contingency. Federal Way staff information for pond cleaning costs. Pond facilities (wet ponds, infiltration facilities, etc.) were estimated at $5,000 per facility. Other facilities (catch basins, tanks, etc.) were assumed at $1,000 per facility. The costs were assumed to include some contingency; therefore, no additional contingency was applied. Planning cost estimates for stormwater facilities developed for City of Auburn 2002 Comprehensive Drainage Plan. Conveyance costs included a ratio of four catch basins per 300 feet. When individual catch basins or manholes were indicated, separate cost estimates for the catch basin or . Page 4 . manhole were made, using the planning cost estimates developed for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) outfall inventory project (2002). Costs for certain stormwater facilities, and costs for mobilization, traffic control, tax, engineering, and land acquisition were obtained from planning cost estimates developed for WSDOT outfall inventory project (2002). A contingency of 100% was applied to project estimates due to their very preliminary nature. Permitting costs were assumed to be included in the continge ncy. . Retrofits were assumed for most storm water conveyance problems to provide for sufficient cost estimate for repair, replacement, or alternative solution. Some of the problem locations may have had incremental improvements over the years and may require only further incremental improvement. For the most part, retrofits were assumed to apply in the form of catch basins and inlets. Unique problems, such as water over road conditions (problem 5), were given planning level estimates for redesign and construction. Maintenance facility space due to additional space needs for Surface Water Management personnel and operations was estimated. The cost, while a capital improvement that would be funded out of the SWM CIP, is annualized and separately included in the overall operating cost of an expanded Federal Way municipal government. To avoid redundancy, the facility cost is omitted from the SWM CIP tabulation included with this review. Future capital improvements beyond those identified could come from the comprehensive drainage study and master plan. Such projects would be funded through the Storm Water Management utility fund.
