CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 5:30pm by Chainnan Phil Watkins. Item H, Cell Phone Towers, was added to the agenda. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the July 6, 1998, meeting were approved as presented. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment on any non-agenda items. 4. COMMISSION COMMENT There was no additional comment from any of the City Commissions. 5. BUSINESS ITEMS A. Shoreline Ordinance - After discussion, the Committee mfs/c recommendation of approval of the Shorelines Ordinance to the City Council as amended. The only shorelines designations in Federal Way are from Dumas Bay to Poverty Bay and Northlake. The Committee expressed concerns about the Dumas Bay neighborhood being an area in transition where annexation to Lakehaven has occurred but no sewers are planned currently. The Committee amended the ordinance to maintain the rural zoning designation until ordered to do otherwise by the state to maintain the lowest possible density. In no case would setbacks be less than 30 feet from the highwater mark. B. DOT Brietin!! on Narrows Bridge Proposal - Jerry Ellis and Jim Metcalf discussed SR#16/Tacoma Narrows improvements and the impact that would have in Federal Way. The state would fund $50 million in improvements. The remainder would be paid privately. An advisory election will take place on November 3, 1998. C. 1997 UBC Code AdQptionlCbapter 5 Amendments - The Committee mfs/c recommendation of approval of the 1997 Unifonn Code Adoption and FWCC clean-up. The state adoption of the amended codes became effective July 1, 1998. The City has been enforcing the new code as required by law since that date. As part of this ordinance, language has been added to the FWCC which will automatically adopt the current state adopted code eliminating the need to amend the FWCC every three years to keep current with state law. D. Bayview Estates Plat Alteration - Lots 5 through 16 of Bayview Country Estates were established as town home lots. The City of Federal Way has no provisions for town home construction in single family zoning districts. Therefore, in order to build on these lots, they must be rep1atted from town home lots to single family lots, and the plat language changed. The Committee mfs/c unanimous recommendation of approval to Council of the plat alteration to change six townhouse lots into two single family lots. E. Crown Point Sewer R~pair - PrQPosed Interlocal A~reement/100% Conwletion/Authority to Bid/Authority to Award Bid - The Committee m/s/c recommendation of approval to the City Council to authorize staff to enter into a proposed Interlocal Agreement with the Lakehaven Utility District for the Crown Point Stonn and Sanitary Sewer Line replacements; authorize staff to bid the Crown Point Storm and Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement project; and subject to the low bid meeting budget constraints and the low bidder being responsive, responsible, and capable - authorize staff to award the bid for the Crown Point Stonn and Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement without returning to Committee and Council. F. AdQpt-a-Stream Pro!!ram - A 1994-99 cooperative agreement between the USFWS and the City (AG 94-212) provided for 50:50 share on approved projects which benefit surface water fisheries and habitat. Decatur High School through the Federal Way School District has requested funding support from this cooperative agreement to develop an Adopt-A- Stream program for Lakota Creek. The Committee mfs/c recommendation of approval to the City Council authorizing the Acceptance of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) grant in the amount of $8,715.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute a Services agreement for $11,230 with the Federal Way School District to reimburse the District for specified expenditures to implement the Adopt-A-Stream program. G. Grant PrQPosal for Midd~y Vaqpool Services - The Committee mfs/c recommendation of approval to the City Council the Employer Services Grant for Midday Transportation Services. Staff anticipates that the proposed grant would further enhance SOY reduction and assist Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) affected work sites in the City of Federal Way to meet their CTR goals. H. Cell Phone Towers - Staff presented information on current cell phone tower permit applications in the City limits. There are to be of letters of notification mailed to residents and calls to individual council members are likely. Staff reminded the Committee that these permit applications are approved administratively or by the hearing examiner and need not be reviewed by Council 6. FUTURE MEETINGS The next meeting will be held on August 17, 1998, at 5:30 pm. 7. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 7: 15pm. I: \AUG3LUTC.SUM MEMORANDUM TO: Land Use & Transportation Committee Derek M. Matheson, Assistant to the City Managerqçt.v FROM: DATE: August 13, 1998 SUBJECT: 1999 Legislative Agenda & Position Paper Attached for the Committee's review and comment is the staff proposed Legislative Agenda and Position Paper for the 1999 Legislative Session. The proposed Position Paper includes all issues on which the City may wish to take a position during the next legislative session. A subsection of items in the Position Paper that are likely to receive greater City attention during the legislative session are marked with an asterisk and cross-listed on our Legislative Agenda, which will be shorter and more effective than in past years. New additions to this year's Position Paper include: ~ Assumption of special purpose districts Abolition of Boundary Review Boards A position on Conservation Districts Support for continued distribution of MVET funds to cities (or an acceptable substitute) Local government involvement in salmon issues City-supported changes in the labor contract arbitration process Limiting of employer liability for reference checks Economic development funding Immunity for the Year 2000 Problem ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Specific policy areas of interest to the Land Use & Transportation Committee could include sections on Land Use and Community Development; Transportation, Parks, and Infrastructure; and Energy and Telecommunications. The Legislative Agenda and Position Paper will also be reviewed by the Finance, Economic Development and Regional Affairs Committee; and the Parks, Recreation, Public Safety and Human Service Committee prior to final review by the full City Council on September 15. City of Federal Way Legislative Agenda 1999 Legislative Session Draft 8/12/98 Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Federal Way opposes any redirection of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) that restricts or lessens MVET support for local programs unless equal revenues that accommodate inflation are substituted. Current MVET -funded programs include sales tax equalization, public health, criminal justice, the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC), and transit and transportation funding for cities. Assumption of Special Purpose Districts The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the Growth Management Act, which states that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these areas. The City therefore supports legislation which simplifies and clarifies the circumstances under which a city may dissolve and assume jurisdiction over a special purpose district, and opposes any legislation that would diminish that authority of cities - especially within Potential Annexation Area (P AA) boundaries. Conservation Districts The City supports efforts to conserve natural resources within the city and within the region as a whole and, where appropriate, supports the use of conservation districts to fund and provide conservation related improvements that are not provided by local government. The City does not support, however, special assessments which duplicate assessments imposed by a city for conservation purposes and which do not provide additional benefits to properties within the city. The City therefore opposes any legislation that would mandate inclusion of a city or properties within it in a conservation district. Capital Facilities Planning Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and counties. Boundary Review Boards The City supports elimination of Boundary Review Boards. These non-elected boards have been rendered obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (P AA) planning under the GMA. Further, these boards have a history of bowing to political pressure and contradicting specific GMA provisions and values. 1 Liquor Licenses Federal Way strongly supports any efforts to make the commercial liquor license application process more accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve access by the community and would encourage greater input and comment ftom all interested parties. In addition, liquor license applications should be make available for public inspection and subsequent written comment at the local level. Applicant would need to place a public notice in paper advertising the license and the availability of application materials. Liquor Control Board The state should conduct a performance evaluation/audit of the liquor control board as it relates to its mission of regulating liquor for the sake of our state's communities. The Legislature should restructure/reaffirm Liquor Control Board as mandated by audit. Adult Retail Federal Way supports authorizing local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult retail establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for location and hours of operation. Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value, diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values. Salmon Issues State initiatives related to salmon habitats should contain local components that recognize the vast diversity of conditions across the state. In addition, all state initiatives and processes related to salmon should include meaningful input ftom local government. Telecommunications Federal Way continues to strongly oppose legislation which would preempt local authority over such items as pole attachments, cellular tower siting, cable reftanchising, and telecommunications charges. Federal Way supports legislation that protects the right of local government to assess ftanchise and other fees, to negotiate ftanchise agreements, and exercise other controls on the operation of telecommunication business in the public rights of way. 2 City of Federal Way Position Paper 1999 Legislative Session Draft 8/12/98 General Policy The City of Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to encourage cost-effective regional policy planning and delivery of government services, balanced by local program implementation. These efforts must be focused on eliminating duplicate services and preserving local control over service delivery. The City also supports legislation which enhances local flexibility to address issues of local concern. The City opposes legislation which mandates increased local costs or which results in an inappropriate diminution of local authority over local affairs. General Local Government Home Rule The City of Federal Way strongly supports the adoption ofa constitutional home rule amendment which would guarantee decision-making authority for local matters at the local level. The City also urges the Legislature to refrain from enacting legislation that adversely impacts the concept oflocal self-government or restricts the ability of cities and towns to exercise existing power. Mandates All local governments have been impacted by the elimination and reduction of various federal domestic aid programs. Changes at the state level have also affected local government revenue options. Equally important are the growing number of mandates passed from the federal and state governments to local governments; mandates which are not accompanied by additional resources. Delivering public services requires a strong state-local partnership, and local revenue needs must be recognized when new programs are enacted or if the state revenue system is restructured. As directed by Initiative 62 (RCW 43.135.060), Federal Way strongly urges the Legislature to cease imposition of additional financial or operating burdens on cities unless such mandates are compelled by an overriding state interest and are accompanied by financial resources to accommodate the costs of compliance. Year 2000 Problem Federal Way supports legislation that would protect local governments and their elected officials! employees from liability and harm caused by incorrectly calculated or interpreted dates associated with the Year 2000 (Y2K) Problem. 1 Finance and Economic Development State Fiscal Policy State Tax Roll BacklExpenditure Limitation Efforts Federal Way receives significant support from state-collected, locally-shared revenues. As such, the City opposes efforts to alter state fiscal operations unless they enhance City receives (*) Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Federal Way opposes any redirection of the Motor Vehic1e Excise Tax (MVET) that restricts or lessens MVET support for local programs unless equal revenues that accommodate inflation are substituted. Current MVET-funded programs include sales tax equalization, public health, criminal justice, the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC), and transit and transportation funding for cities. Public Works Trust Fund The Public Works Trust Fund benefits many local governments with dependable, long term funding for repair and reconstruction of local public works systems. The Legislature is now required to approve an annual list of projects, but has never deleted a project recommended by the Public Works Board. Federal Way supports eliminating the Legislative approval requirement for annual distribution from the Public Works Trust Fund. Expediting the approval process would facilitate the construction of these projects by the summer construction season. Continuation of Grant Programs Federal Way opposes any erosion in its financing sources and strongly encourages the Legislature to maintain Criminal Justice Funding and other grant programs which support local program operation. Local Finance Sales Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction Labor costs for the construction of road, street, and trails projects are currently exempt from state and local option sales taxes. Federal Way supports extending this exemption to all voter-approved capital improvement projects. Tax Increment Financing Tax increment financing allows cities to pay for the infrastructure costs related to development or redevelopment projects by earmarking the tax revenues attributable to the increase in tax receipts over current receipts in the apportionment district. The tax increment would be dedicated to paying the debt service on the bonds issued. After the bonds have been retired, the tax increment would be distributed in the same manner as other non-increment property taxes. The overriding benefit of tax increment financing districts would be to 2 facilitate quality and comprehensive development, and redevelopment of our community. Federal Way thus supports efforts to amend the state constitution as necessary to accomplish a tax increment financing program. Voted Excess Levy for Capital Improvement Bonds Municipalities should be authorized to seek voter approval for an excess property tax levy to fund capital facilities projects. The levy could be used for projects on a pay as you go basis or for debt service on bonds. The levy would not be tied to one project, but could be used to realize any of the projects in the adopted facilities plan. The bonds would be unlimited general obligations of the City. Voter approval would be by simple majority. Benefits of this option include the development of a comprehensive community tax policy to deal with its infrastructure needs using a multi-year business plan approach. Bidding Procedures and Limits Federal Way supports efforts to streamline state laws and regulations governing the bidding process, giving cities greater flexibility in bidding procedures and limits. This could include raising the ceiling for small works roster projects from $100,000 to $1,000,000 to reduce the costly bid process. Economic Development Economic Development Funding Sources Federal Way supports new funding sources for local economic development, accompanied by significant latitude in the use of funds to allow cities to meet diverse local economic development needs. Economic Development Partnerships Federal Way supports government partnerships with the private sector for the purposes of promoting quality governmental services and economic vitality. Records Maintenance Costs Voter Registration Maintenance Costs State law presently allows counties to charge cities to maintain voter registration records. This law, passed in 1987, when the counties took over voter registration ftom the cities, did not include a sunset provision to eliminate the charge when the transition was complete. Furthermore, these charges are not uniform, ranging from $.22 to $1.55 per voter. State law does set a $.30 maximum charge for smaller cities, but does not specify a charge for larger cities. King County collects over $1 million in voter maintenance fees each year, which should more than cover the cost of minor data entry changes. Federal Way supports legislative changes which would standardize this charge in a manner which accurately reflects the cost of maintaining voter records. 3 Public Records Federal Way firmly supports the right of the public to have access to the records and operations oflocal government. The City supports legislation to define the calculation of cost recovery fees for records retrieval from municipal electronic information systems. Personnel and Labor Relations Civil Service Reform Federal Way supports civil service reform for police officers that allows cities to streamline hiring processes, diversify workforces, and recruit, retain, terminate and reward employees. Police and Fire Arbitration Federal Way supports legislation that would make arbitrators in binding interest arbitration with police and fire personnel to consider the following factors in making an award: a) the city's financial ability to meet the costs of the contract, giving due consideration and weight to other competing city services and priorities as determined by the City Council; b) local labor market conditions, c) internal equity with other city employees, and d) efforts by new organizations to move away from traditional methods of compensation in favor of innovative compensation strategies (such as incentive pay). Limit Liability for Reference Checks The City supports legislation that would provide local governments with immunity from civil liability for disclosing information about an employee's job performance during a reference check. Prevailing Wage The City of Federal Way supports legislation to clarify that maintenance activities performed by contract, like those performed by regular employees, are exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Current law creates a disincentive for the use of contracting by local government entities. Land Use and Community Development Special Purpose Districts (*) Assumption of Special Purpose Districts The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the Growth Management Act, which states that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these areas. The City therefore supports legislation which simplifies and clarifies the circumstances under which a city may dissolve and assume jurisdiction over a special purpose district, and opposes any legislation that would diminish that authority of cities - especialIy within Potential Annexation Area (P AA) boundaries. 4 (*) Conservation Districts The City supports efforts to conserve natural resources within the city and within the region as a whole and, where appropriate, supports the use of conservation districts to fund and provide conservation related improvements that are not provided by local government. The City does not support, however, special assessments which duplicate assessments imposed by a city for conservation purposes and which do not provide additional benefits to properties within the city. The City therefore opposes any legislation that would mandate inclusion of a city or properties within it in a conservation district. (*) Capital Facilities Planning Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and counties. Growth Management Growth Management Act Federal Way endorses the Growth Management Act (GMA) as an essential and responsible planning tool. However, the Act creates challenges for state, county and cities. To meet these challenges, the Legislature must continue to monitor the efforts oflocal agencies, and address any necessary additional refinements to the Act in an effective and timely manner. Such refinements may include clarification of the role and responsibilities ofthe state in developing policies and capital plans in conformance with locally adopted comprehensive plans, assuring the adequacy of funding sources to provide adequate inffastructure, urban services, housing and employment opportunities within urban growth areas. The Legislature must also act to provide sufficient time, technical and financial resources to cities completing growth management planning. Growth Management Hearings Boards Federal Way supports legislation recognizing the need for local flexibility in effectively implementing the GMA and requiring Growth Management Hearings Boards to defer to local decisions, policies and processes implementing the goals of the GMA when these actions are otherwise consistent with the GMA. (*) Boundary Review Boards The City supports elimination of Boundary Review Boards. These non-elected boards have been rendered obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (P AA) planning under the GMA. Further, these boards have a history of bowing to political pressure and contradicting specific GMA provisions and values. Land Use Decisions and Permitting Federal Way supports legislation that further defines, coordinates, simplifies and streamlines land use decisions and permitting under the GMA as well as under the State Environmental 5 Policy Act and the Shorelines Management Act. Such legislation should balance the benefits of statewide uniformity with the need for local communities to govern themselves. Shorelines Management Act The City supports eliminating the requirement that local governments prepare separate shorelines management plans. Similar plans already exist as elements of comprehensive plans that have been thorougWy reviewed by the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. Separate state-level shoreline use permits should also be eliminated in favor of permits issued by cities in accordance with approved comprehensive plans. Technical Amendments to Comprehensive Plans Federal Way supports legislation authorizing GMA-planning cities to adopt technical amendments to their GMA plans and regulations more than once a year. Annexation Law Federal Way supports current State law regarding annexations. The City also supports retention of city authority to review the impacts of an annexation on the overall operation of the City and to make the final determination regarding acceptance of petitions for annexation. The City supports legislation that would reduce boundary adjustment requirements, clarify ftanchise relationships between trash and garbage haulers, expedite transfer of property tax ftom the County to the City, and provide direction for land use and permitting functions in newly annexed areas. Land Use Dispute Resolution Federal Way also supports practical solutions to private property disputes that address specific concerns of property owners, including regulatory reform if necessary. These solutions should not alter the Constitutional definition of takings, place an undue financial burden on taxpayers, or diminish local governments' ability to protect the public health, safety and welfare of their communities. Forest Permits The Department of Natural Resources is presently authorized to issue Class II and Class III Forest Practice Permits, which allow logging without review by municipal authorities within urbanized areas contained within city limits or designated urban growth boundaries. Class IV permits, however, do require municipal authority review. The past practice of issuing these permits has precluded city governments ftom providing appropriate controls to deal with the erosion and sedimentation in those permitted areas. As well, the uncontrolled logging of parcels within an urban area has precluded local government from providing regulations to help ensure that the property properly transitions into appropriate urban development. Therefore, Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to require that all Forest Practice Permits issued within the city limits or within the designated urban growth boundary be subject to the same local government review process now provided in the consideration and issuance of Class 6 IV Forest Practice Permits. Alternatively, cities should be allowed to adopt and enforce land clearing, significant tree protection and related issues for Class TI and TII forest permits. Social and Human Services Support for Human Services Federal Way supports legislative action that will maintain support for human service programs including those which may be delegated to the State from the Federal Government. Such legislative action should ensure appropriate local government input into development of block grant dispersal regulations or procedures and into development of any new processes to assist or support low-income, high-need populations. Affordable Housing Federal Way supports efforts to identify a dedicated funding source for affordable housing which is acceptable to developers, realtors, and state and local government. Collaboration with School Districts Federal Way supports efforts by the state to provide incentives to cities and school districts to work collaboratively in addressing local youth issues. Such collaboration should go beyond historical roles of each local agency. Local Public Health Contractual Funding Federal Way opposes efforts to reestablish contractual funding arrangements for public health semces. Boards of Public Health Federal Way supports local government representation on County boards of public health. Youth Issues Funding of Youth Programs Federal Way supports legislation improving funding to local governments for initiating and expanding youth services, especially programs that achieve reductions in youth violence. Child Care Federal Way support budget provisions to enhance the Department of Social and Health Services' (DSHS) ability to enforce its day care licensing requirements, to improve support services for daycare providers, and to ensure the accessibility to child care for all citizens. In addition, the City will carefully monitor legislation clarifying its role in regulating the siting and operation of daycare facilities. 7 Child Abuse Federal Way supports funding for programs designed to prevent child abuse/neglect. Law and Justice Funding Issues Drug Seizure Funds Federal Way supports efforts to enhance the ease with which cities can apply for and receive drug seizure funds and particularly supports the expansion of the definition of what those funds can be expended upon to include all law enforcement functions. DUI Cost Recovery The City supports continued legislation to strengthen Dill laws. Federal Way also supports legislation to allow recovery of necessary public expenses, including detention costs, which result fÌ"om incidents involving impaired driving convictions. Costs of Incarceration Federal Way supports legislation that would do away with the current limit of$50 per day that can be assessed as jail costs against a person convicted of a misdemeanor. The city would support legislation that would allow the city to impose a calculated amount representing the city's actual costs of incarcerating the individual. High Crime Law Enforcement Grants Federal Way supports changing the state's criteria for awarding High Crime Law Enforcement Grants. Current grant practices provide year -to-year grant funding to cities that have 125% of the state average for eight specific crimes, but immediately terminate funding once the crime level drops below the 125% threshold. This practice creates a disincentive for innovative policing and punishes successful police departments. Funding decisions should instead be based upon a city's policing strategies and its crime rate over a longer period of time, such as five years. Liquor Control and Adult Entertainment (*) Liquor Licenses Federal Way strongly supports any efforts to make the commercial liquor license application process more accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve access by the community and would encourage greater input and comment fÌ"om all interested parties. In addition, liquor license applications should be make available for public inspection and subsequent written comment at the local level. Applicant would need to place a public notice in paper advertising the license and the availability of application materials. 8 (*) Liquor Control Board The state should conduct a performance evaluation/audit of the liquor control board as it relates to its mission of regulating liquor for the sake of our state's communities. The Legislature should restructure/reaffirm Liquor Control Board as mandated by audit. Adult Entertainment The City supports model ordinance legislation for adult entertainment consistent with the provisions off ederal Way's adult entertainment ordinance which have been sustained through numerous court appeals. (*) Adult Retail Federal Way supports authorizing local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult retail establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for location and hours of operation. Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value, diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values. Law Enforcement Issues Local Law Enforcement Authority Federal Way opposes legislation and! or other efforts to remove the authority of municipalities to provide local law enforcement services, including special services, regardless of the potential for service contracting. The City also opposes actions or legislation which would transfer incarceration responsibilities ftom the state or county to municipalities without additional funding. Police Officer Jurisdiction As a part of the state's certification of police officers, make officers able to enforce the state's laws anywhere in the state. This would reduce the liability for cities with officers who assist with incidents outside the city's borders. As it stands now, jurisdictions must exchange letters giving consent to officers to enforce law outside of their jurisdictions. Radar Testimony Current state law requires law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to utilize the testimony of expert witnesses, when the defense specifically requests said witness, to introduce the speed readings of radar detection devices. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has established minimum performance specifications for speed measuring devices that create reliability sufficient to justify their acceptance. Many traffic infractions were decriminalized to create a uniform and expeditious system for adjudication, yet these expert testimony requirements have cost the City thousands of dollars each year, and causes unnecessary dismissals and delays. Federal Way supports legislation allowing for the admission in court of the readings of speed 9 measuring devices without the need for additional expert testimony if the device satisfies specific requirements established by the Legislature. Federal Way would also support alternative legislation which would allow the City to impose the cost of witness fees in cases where the inftaction is found to have been committed. Juvenile Issues Parental Accountability Federal Way supports legislation which makes parents more accountable for their juvenile offender children. Disposition Standards for Juvenile Offenders Federal Way supports legislation revising the current juvenile disposition standards to provide stronger sanctions for chronic, misdemeanor behavior for juvenile offenders and to permit the court greater discretion to impose detention or some form of secure treatment in cases of juvenile offenders who have prior criminal history. Emergency Communications Federal Way opposes the creation ofa E-311 non-emergency communications system. Rather, efforts should be made to further educate the community about the use of the existing £-911 system and existing 7 -digit non-emergency lines. Empty Chair Defense Federal Way supports legislative action related to tort reform to clarify that the defendant should not be required to mandatorily join all potential II at fauW' entities into litigation, or have to risk losing the ability to apportion fault to the third party(s). Any move to the contrary would inappropriately shift the burden of proof from the plaintiff to the defendant in proving fault. Transportation. Parks. and Infrastructure Transportation Issues Transportation Funding Reform Federal Way supports continued reform of state funding for transportation to include a broad range of funding solutions able to address traffic congestion, growth and High Capacity Transit alternatives. Such reform should seek funding sources, which will be dedicated to major local transportation projects, keep up with inflation, and will provide the city with local option revenue authority for the expansion, maintenance and operation oflocal transportation systems. 10 Public Works Project Definition The City supports defining small public works projects as those costing less than $100,000 and exempting such projects trom the state's Public Works Projects definition. The current definition of small public works projects is easily confused and is applied inconsistently across different local jurisdictions. Transportation Improvement Plan Federal Way encourages efforts to secure State support for City priority transportation projects as outlined in the City's 1999-2004 Transportation Improvement Plan (Attached). Water Resources Water Resource Management Addressing water resource management issues will require increased intergovernmental coordination among local and regional governments and the state. Federal Way supports continued state financial assistance for water supply, wastewater management, groundwater protection, and storm and surface water facilities and programs. These programs are especially important in complying with state and federal water quality standards (NPDES, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System). The City also supports retention of the authority oflocal water districts to manage their assets, participating in regional planning as appropriate, to provide and protect for the current and future water needs of their customers. Flood Damage Reduction Federal Way contains a number of flood prone areas, both developed and undeveloped which require specialized planning. Recent proposed flood damage reduction legislation was flawed, partially due to the fact that is was based on an overall floodway approach, which does not consider all flood prone areas in the state. The City supports comprehensive flood damage prevention planning accomplished at the local level as a partnership among impacted cities, the county, state and affected area interests. Each flood prone area is unique and should be planned for accordingly. Locally developed and adopted flood damage protection plans must seek to establish a balance between the need for appropriately designed growth and the need to reduce further flood damage. (*) Salmon Issues State initiatives related to salmon habitats should contain local components that recognize the vast diversity of conditions across the state. In addition, all state initiatives and processes related to salmon should include meaningful input trom local government. Parks and Open Space Federal Way encourages efforts to secure State support for City priority parks and open space projects as outlined in the City's Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan. This 11 support could include legislation which would exempt public park and public cultural arts facility construction from state and local option sales taxes. Utility Facility Relocation Federal Way supports efforts to affirm the duty of private utilities to include bearing the cost of relocating their facilities within city rights-of-way when requested by a city. Funding of countywide recycling programs Federal Way opposes efforts to fund countywide recycling efforts by allowing counties to collect a recycling fee directly from customers of city ftanchisers. Cities are the appropriate collectors of these fees through city-negotiated solid waste ftanchise agreements. Enerey and Telecommunications (*) Telecommunications Federal Way continues to strongly oppose legislation which would preempt local authority over such items as pole attachments, cellular tower siting, cable refranchising, and telecommunications charges. Federal Way supports legislation that protects the right of local government to assess ftanchise and other fees, to negotiate ftanchise agreements, and exercise other controls on the operation of telecommunication business in the public rights of way. Electric Industry Regulation Federal Way supports energy utility regulation based on the following principles: a) Local governments should retain the authority to manage industry facilities within the public right of way and the authority to tax the utility providers, b) Electricity service should be available to customers at prices that are reasonable and affordable, c) A non-economic bypass and the inappropriate shifting of costs of the electric system between or among customers do not constitute fair and efficient competition. Customers of continuing monopoly service should benefit, at least, not be harmed, ftom choices made by customers with access to competitive options, d) The long-term safety, integrity, reliability and quality of the bulk electric system and retail electricity service should not be jeopardized, e) Consumers should be afforded a broad range of choice in electricity service and pricing options, t) Development of competitive electricity markets should not undermine environmental protection, energy efficiency, resource diversity and technological innovation, and g) the public should maintain a voice in the industry's regulatory process and the interests of customers should continue to be balanced with the opportunity for shareholders to earn fair returns. Tax Collections by Out-or-State Providers State law should require out-of-state electricity providers to collect state and local utility taxes on services provided to customers within the State of Washington. 12 DATE: August 13, 1998 TO: Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use and Transportation Committee Carr M. Roe, Public Works Director ~ ""S Richard A. Perez, Traffic Engineer ( FROM: SUBJECT: Pavilions Centre Access on So 312th Street Background As early as January 19, 1997, prior to the construction of Pavilion Centre Phase I, the Traffic Division of the Public Works Department expressed concern about the location of the driveway access onto S 312th Street. At that time, it was suggested that if the crash rate experience were unacceptable, the City would consider restricting access at this location to right-inlright-out. In the first nine months of operation of Pavilions Centre, there have been 14 incidents reported at that location. The City has successfully reduced crash rate experience at driveways and intersections in several locations within the City, with minimal impact to adjacent businesses, through the use of Type C curb to restrict left turns. When the high crash rate at this particular location came to our attention, we considered this type of treatment as a simple, cost-effective solution. Rather than act unilaterally and understanding that adjacent property owners may have concerns about such an action, we contacted the existing owners and asked for their input. The prior owners of Pavilions Centre were extremely concerned about the potential impact of such an action, and requested some time to investigate other possible solutions, which staff granted. A month later, the City received a traffic analysis prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants that identified various alternatives to reduce the collision rate at this location. It documented two principal causes of the inordinate number of collisions occurring at this location: 1. The left-turn movements at the midblock driveways are made through standing queues from the intersection at Pacific Highway S in at least one eastbound lane. If a driver in one lane stops, left-turning drivers may collide with vehicles in the other eastbound lane that are not aware of, and therefore do not stop for, the left-turning vehicles. 2. Due to the extensive queues at Pacific Highway S, eastbound traffic turning left at Pacific Highway S may enter the two-way left-turn lane prematurely, and collide with left- turning vehicles entering the street from the driveways. The alternatives presented in the study focused on methods to reduce the extent of queuing across the driveways and preventing the use of the two-way left-turn lane for an extended length of street (Note that the legal limit of using a two-way left-turn lane is 300 feet). After discussing these alternatives with the property owners, it was determined that by the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane at the intersection of S 312th Street and Pacific Highways S, in combination with reconfiguration of the lane geometry and signal phasing, would most effectively reduce the queue lengths to not block the driveway. However, no consideration was given at the time to any potential increase in background traffic and its effects on queue lengths. Nevertheless, all parties agreed that the next logical step would be to determine the expenses associated with implementing this solution. The Public Works Department had agreed to bear the expense of design of the right-turn lane, and all costs associated with the signal and striping modifications, at an estimated cost of $50,000. The previous owners of Pavilions Centre agreed to dedicate the right-of-way necessary to construct the right-turn lane. It was also agreed that the construction of such an improvement should be added to the City's project to widen S 312th Street east of Pacific Highway S to avoid complications of trying to coordinate two contractors at the same intersection. As an interim or phase one step, the parties agreed in concept to relocate a driveway on the north side of S 312th Street to align with the driveway into Pavilions Centre in order to eliminate the potential for turning conflicts between the two driveways. It was also agreed upon that Pavilions Centre would be permitted an additional right-in/right-out driveway onto Pacific Highway to mitigate any capacity lost at the Pavilions Centre driveway onto S 312th Street by these revisions. Due to the concerns of the cost of the eastbound right-turn lane on S 312th Street at Pacific Highway, it was also agreed that the City would generate the cost estimate for these improvements prior to any further commitments regarding funding its construction. Staff then generated the cost estimates to construct the right-turn lane, as well as relocating the Albertson's driveway. The driveway relocation was estimated at $25,500. The right-turn lane was estimated at $330,000, which would include approximately $50,000 for design and signal, signing, and channelization modifications that Staff had already agreed to provide. One unanticipated cost item was that construction of the right-turn lane would require relocation of three spans of overhead utilities, thus triggering the City code requiring undergrounding. However, as described above, the realization set in that potential future increases in traffic could render the right-turn lane ineffective in terms of reducing queue lengths. Staff cautioned that there is no point in having anybody pay for the construction of the right-turn lane if future queues would block the driveway. At about the same time, staff was notified that the previous owners had sold the majority interest in Pavilions Centre, although they still held an interest in the property. Discussions then turned to the new owners. Negotiations with the new owners of Pavilions Centre as well as representatives from the previous ownership have resulted in an impasse with respect to the roles and responsibilities of the various parties for implementation of the previously outlined alternative. Furthermore, staff has cautioned the current and previous property owners that only implementing a portion of the suggested alternatives (i.e., relocation of the existing northerly driveway on S 312th, creation of a new right in/right out driveway on SR 99 and reconfiguration of lane geometry, pavement marking and signage) would be unlikely to solve the accident problem. In addition to the various meetings and discussions, the City received a letter dated June 18, 1998 from the current ownership. Staff's response to their reasons why the access should not be restricted are as follows: 1. "Economic impacts would be severe." The City's experience in other locations, consistent with national experience documented in several studies, suggests that larger "destination" retailers are generally not impacted by access restrictions. Usually, the types of businesses that have been shown to be negatively impacted are gas stations, convenience stores, and fast food restaurants, none of which are currently located near S 312th Street in Pavilions Centre. In addition, the City has received a petition with over 170 signatures claiming that even though they shop at Pavilions Centre, they want the access restricted at this driveway to improve safety on S 312th Street. 2. "Pavilions Centre has already paid its fair share of infrastructure improvements and it is unfair to make us pay more in order to preserve our access. " It is acknowledged that construction of Pavilions Centre involved substantial improvements to the City's infrastructure. However, nothing less would have been required of anyone else. Furthermore, construction of the right-turn lane was the recommendation of the previous owners' consultant as an alternative to Staff's proposal to improve safety at this location by installing Type C curb at a cost of less than $10,000. 3. "The growth in traffic in the future is in large part the result of Wal-Mart, so the queuing impacts should be mitigated by Wal-Mart. " The conditions placed on the development ofWal-Mart were consistent with those placed on Pavilions Centre. Also, since Wal-Mart did not create the problem, the City cannot require them to fix the problem. Staff did not require analysis of queuing conditions with either Wal-Mart or Pavilions Centre, although queue length analysis is now a requirement for all transportation impact analyses conducted in the City. 4. "The City, as a partner in solving the problem, should exempt this project from the requirement to underground utilities in order to reduce costs. " All street improvements in Federal Way, whether privately or publicly funded, are required to be constructed under the same design standards, regulations, and codes. Recommendation As negotiations have reached an impasse, staff is seeking direction from the Land Use and Transportation Committee and ultimately the City Council. There appears to be four alternatives: 1. 2. Have the City construct the right-turn lane and relocate the Albertson's driveway at an estimated cost of $350,000, although no source of funds had been identified. Have the City share in the cost of construction of these improvements with the property owners at some percentage. Require the owners to construct these improvements. Have the City construct Type C curb to restrict left turns at the driveways between 14th Avenue S and Pacific Highway S, at an estimated cost of $10,000, to be funded from the Traffic Division's operational budget. 3. 4. It should be noted that staff believes that only Alternative 4 would assure that the safety issue would remain resolved.

For your records, please revise the fax number for QFC to 425.462.2142 so that we receive any critical correspondence without delay. This letter is in response to the draft memorandum. Our comments or corrections are as follows: 1. Under item 1 on page 2 in your response to the suggestion that "Economic impacts would be severe" you state that the list of the type of businesses shown to be negatively impacted are "convenience stores", and that none" . . . are currently located near S. 3121h Street in Pavilions Centre". Use of the term "convenience store" in this context is confusing and potentially misleading as there may be some specific definition that is applied to that term by the City of Federal Way for land use or building code purposes. To avoid any semantic misunderstanding by any committee members who may read your response, it must be clearly pointed out that al1 conventional grocery stores and supennarkets are considered to be extremely "convenience" dependent by our customers, and are actually classified as "convenience" stores by numerous industry professional organizations to distinguish them from "comparison goods" or "destination" type retail tenants. We strongly believe that to indicate that Pavilions Centre does not contain "convenience stores" is misleading and should be clarified so committee members fully understand the economic impacts created when "convenience" is diminished by impeding direct and "convenient" access to such stores. 08/11/98 TUE 10:25 [TXlRX NO 5358] QFC .. 425 462 21411 08/11/98 10: 27 \51~: 03/03 NO: 806 2. In item 3 on page 3, you indicate that". ., since Wal-Mart did not create the problem. the City cannot require them to fix the problem". Did the WaJ-Mart traffic studies, or those of any other projects (retail or non-retail) proposed to the east ofPaciñc Highway South, address any future impacts to this intersection, this particular driveway, or other portions of South 312111 Street west ofPacìfic Highway South as a result of their respective projects? At our meeting a few weeks ago I recall that you indicated the scope of study may have stopped at Pacific Highway South. If so, that scope may not have fully assessed the true impacts of these projects. While any such projects should not be required to pay the total cost of resolving this issue, it would only seem fair that they contribute to the extent their projects create any additional traffic that necessitates the modifications or solutions determined in this review. 3. Your recommendation on page 3 indicates that". . . only Alternative 4 would assure that the safety issue would remain resolved". Have the impacts of this alternate to other driveways, curb cuts, or intersections been studied to demonstrate that diversion of the traffic created by this alteration does not burden other such traffic movement areas? In other words, do you simply move part or an of the problem somewhere else? If this has not been studied, "assurance" may be premature. 4. A fifth alternate has not, but should be included. Even though an additional traffic signal at this driveway may not meet certain distance requirements, there are many instances where those minimums have been waived and a traffic signal has proven to be a very effective solution. While such minimum distance requirements may be generally preferable, consideration of modifying them to suit specific requirements should not be ignored. Until this alternate, and its impacts have been thoroughly studied, it shouJd not be dismissed out of hand, and conclusions of the appropriate a1ternate can not be adequately assessed. QFC requests that its opinion on these issues be addressed in the staff report and conclusion, and provided to the committee for review and consideration. Again, we appreciate the opportunity to provide our comments and suggestions prior to review by the Land Use and Transportation Committee.

(iii) Adopt the amendments to Chapter 22 -- Zoning as shown in Exhibit C. (iv) Approve the comprehensive plan designations for the two proposed annexations as outlined in Section 1.3 of this staff report. (v) Approve the comprehensive plan designations for the site specific requests as outlined in Section 1.4 of this staff report. (vi) Approve the transportation site specific requests as outlined in Exhibit E. IV. PROCEDURAL SUMMARY May 6, 1998 -- Planning Commission First Public Hearing May 20, 1998 -- Public Hearing Continued June 3, 1998 -- Public Hearing Continued June 17, 1998 n Public Hearing Continued July 1, 1998 -- Public Hearing Closed; Planning Commission made a motion to forward their recommendations to the Land Use/Transportation Committee August 17, 1998 -- Land Use/Transportation Committee Meeting 4 , ,.".' Va DECISIONAL CRITERIA 1. Section 22-524- 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: (1) The effect upon the physical environment. The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and accompanying map changes will not affect the physical environment. An evaluation of potential impacts to the environment as a result of both the non- project action and the project-specific requests was conducted and a threshold determination [Determination of Non-significance (DNS)] pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) was issued on May 4, 1998. (2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes. The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and accompanying map changes will not affect open space, streams and lakes. An evaluation of potential impacts to the environment as a result of both the non- project action and the project-specific requests was conducted and a threshold determination [Determination of Non-significance (DNS)] pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) was issued on May 4, 1998. The site specific requests included two annexation requests and four requests for comprehensive plan amendments. Some of the requests are for sites which contain environmentally sensitive areas. If the requests are approved, at the time that the sites are proposed for development, any potential adverse effects on open space, streams and lakes will be addressed through the review process. (3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and accompanying map changes will not impact adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. The site specific requests include two annexation requests and four requests for comprehensive plan amendments. These requests, if approved, will not be incompatible with nor should they impact surrounding neighborhoods. (4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools. The Capital Facilities Chapter has been updated to address the adequacy of community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools. 5 (5) (6) (7) (8) 2. The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region. Updating the comprehensive plan is of benefit to Federal Way neighborhoods, the City of Federal Way, and the region as existing information is being updated. This wiII provide a better basis for decision making. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land. This update does not represent a substantial departure in land use within the existing city boundary. Population to be added if the proposed annexations are approved would result in approximately the same amount of population or less that could be accommodated within the unincorporated area in the absence of such annexations. Tlte current and projected population density in tlte area. As of July I, 1998, the official city population from the Washington State of Office of Financial Management was 76,820. The present density is 3,590 people per square mile. No new population projections were done as part of the comprehensive plan update. Please also refer to response under (6) above. Tlte effect upon otlter aspects of tlte compreltensive plan. There should not be any adverse impacts on the comprehensive plan as a result of proposed changes. Sec. 22-525. Criteria for amending the comprehensive plan. The city may amend the comprehensive plan only if it finds that: (1) (2) (3) Tlte proposed amendment bears a substantial relationsltip to public Itealtlt, safety, or welfare; and Updating the comprehensive plan will result in better infonnation for decision making purposes which has an indirect relationship to public health, safety and welfare. In particular, the transportation related changes are safety related. Tlte proposed amendment is in tlte best interest of tlte residents of tlte city. Please see response under (1) above. Tlte proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36. lOA and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendment. RCW Chapter 36. 70A, the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires all cities to adopt and implement comprehensive plans and to amend them in a timely 6 . ."h:.~,;",..","h,.."""",,¡,¡, manner but no more than once a year, except under certain circumstances. The City is responding to this mandate by updating the comprehensive plan. 3. Sec. 22-523. Zoning Text Amendment Criteria The city may amend the text of Chapter 22- Zoning only if it finds that: (i) The proposed amendment is consistent with tlte applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; The amendments to the zoning text is being proposed in order to provide consistency between the Transportation sections of the Comprehensive Plan and transportation related sections in the Zoning Code. (2) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety and welfare; and The proposed amendments to the zoning text address only transportation or traffic-related issues. These changes will result in improved and safer access requirements, improve circulation in the city and address transportation projects to resolve high crash rate locations. (3) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city. The proposed changes to the zoning text should reduce traffic related accidents, improve circulation and access and will be in the best interests of the residents of the city. VI. COUNCIL ACTION Pursuant to FWCC. Section 22-537(c), after consideration of the planning commission report and, at its discretion, holding its own public hearing, the city council shall by majority vote of its total membership take the following action: 1. Approve the proposal by ordinance; 2. Modify and approve the proposal by ordinance; 3. Disapprove the proposal by resolution; or 4. Refer the proposal back to the planning commission for further proceedings. If this occurs, the city council shall specify the time within which the planning commission shall report back to the city council on the proposal. 7 List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Exhibit F Exhibit G Exhibit H '"..."...', ...,..c....".,:.:,., ".."....,k,"" Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments Chapter 20 Text Amendments Chapter 22 Text Amendments March 8, 1996 letter from the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development Summary of Text Changes List ofUpdatedlNew Maps Site Specific Requests for Changes to the Comprehensive Plan Designations Transportation Site Specific requests 1:\COMPAMND\LUTc.COV/August 12, 1998 8 "--'..,... .".,"""'-'~~ , . . . .r , .. ..

(360) 753-2200 March 8, 1996 The Honorable Mahlon "Skip" Priest Mayor, City of Federal Way 33530. First Way South Federal Way, Washington 98003 EXHIBIT J> PÁGE-LOF --'-- Dear Mayor Priest: Thank you for sending us the City of Federal Way's adopted comprehensive plan. We note that your plan was adopted on November 21, 1995, but that local notice was not published until January 3, 1996, and that we did not receive copies until January 24, 1996. The comments below are based on our review of your adopted plan and build on our October 1995 letter, checklist, and draft plan review. We recognize that the City of Federal Way has expended a great deal of time, energy, and resources in developing its comprehensive plan. As we stated in our October comments, your plan contains many strong points and articulates realistic and promising visions for your city center. We support you in your effort to fulfill those visions. However, we are concerned that a number of important issues raised in our review were not addressed in your adopted plan. Therefore, we request that the issues detailed in our October review and the points highlighted below be docketed for inclusion in your first year's plan amendments. As written, your adopted comprehensive plan does not yet comply with several requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA). The plan's most serious deficiencies are in the land Use Element and the 6-year financial plans for the Capital Facilities and Transportation Elements. The discussion below expands on several of the key points identified in our October 1995 letter and checklist review. land Use One of the goals of the GMA is the reduction of low-density sprawl. As we noted in October, the City should be aware that the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board has found that densities of one dwelling unit per acre ~ n ~J . :~' ... '~f;~ , , . . . The Honorable Mahlon "Skip" Priest March 8, 1996 Page 2 are generally not appropriate urban densities. By not establishing a minimum density in the adopted plan's "Single Family High Density" designation, or even defining the term (see p. 11-13), the City has created a legal loophole that allows development at less than urban densities. It is unclear whether the plan actually establishes a goal or policy for its "Single Family High Density" designation. The statement that "urban densities of 9600, 7200, and 5000 square feet provide a range of housing densities" (p. 11-13) is not a goal statement or a policy. Likewise, while Table 11-5, on page 11-20, shows. conversion values for land use categories and zoning, the text above it states that. "upon adoption of this Comprehensive Plan, the City will consider revisiC"'lsto the zoning code, consistent with Comprehensive Plan direction"~ "Consider' is not the - same as "shall" or "will"; it does not establish a commitment or POliCY. The City of Federal Way appears to have no real "Single Family High Density" goal or policy. With over 5.0 percent of the City's land area in a residential designation, and a vast majority of that in "Single Family High Density", the adopted plan will not prevent single family residential areas from developing at less than urban densities. In fact, the City's other single family designations, "Single Family Low Density" (one unit per five acres) and "Single Family Medium Density" (one to three units per acre), actually assure that new single family development will not be built at urban densities. We also noted in October that the City needed to "show its work" if it wished to justify one and five acre single family lots in environmentally constrained areas. However, the adopted land Use Element eliminates almost all references to actual acreage. It is impossible to determine the total number of acres that have been designated single family low, medium or high density, or how those areas relate to any critical area designations that may overlay them. It is clear that the City has measured its land base and calculated the acreage. The comprehensive plan maps are based on GIS data, and in later plan elements measurements are expressed in terms of acres. In the Capital Facilities Element, parks, schools, and recreation areas are measured in acres (p. VI-4). The level of service for parks is set at 10.9 acres per 1,000 residents (p. VI-6). Unfortunately; the City has chosen not to include any calculation of acreage in the land Use Element. The land Use Element lists land uses as a percentage of the gross land area (p. 11-8), and summarizes residential development capacity in terms of net square footage (p. 11-9). Unfortunately, it provides no useful data to indicate the average number of units per acre the City is planning for in its single or multi-family residential areas. EXH I B IT :t> PAGE 2.0F_l. . ."...."""... , . . . ' . The Honorable Mahlon ", March 8, 1996 Page 3 p" Priest Likewise, the plan's analysis of land use capacities fails to provide actual acreage figures in its calculation of net developable square footage. The issue of units per acre was raised in our October review because it provides an important planning measure; it indicates whether public infrastructure, such as roads, sewers, water lines, and storm drains, can be provided in a cost-effective manner and whether public transit systems are economically viable.. However~ rather than examining the issue by "showing its work" in the land Use Element, the City has done the opposite by obscuring the actual land area measurements. / 6- Year Financial Plans The Growth Management Act requires that comprehensive plans include ,detailed funding plans for their Capital Facilities Element and their Transportation Èlement. These financial plans must look out at least 6 years in anticipation of current needs and projected demands. . They must include those projects that will be. necessary to . maintain adopted level of service standards. Further, they must identify actual and probable funding sources for- those projects. The GMA recognizes that the need for capital facilities and transportation infrastructure are directly related to the pattern of land uses and densities established by jurisdictions in their comprehensive plans. land use is the engine that drives infrastructure cost. Each city and county must, therefore, show how it will pay for the capital facilities and transportation infrastructure required to support its land use plan. As noted in our October review, the financial plans included in the Transportation Element and the Capital Facilities Element are not complete. Funding for the Parks and Recreation component includes a bond issue that failed in 1995 (po VI-6); a failed bond issue cannot be considered "probable" funding. In order to operate its own police department, the City of Federal Way will have to provide funds for the facilities and equipment, yet a 6-year financial plan, reflecting costs and funding sources, was not included in the Capital Facilities Element. Likewise, while the Water Systems component references the lakehaven Utility Districts CIP, it fails to provide any summary information on categories of projects, costs, or funding sources. Summary tables of this information should be included in the Capital Facilities Element. . The Sewer Systems component includes a table of projects and costs, but does not provide any information on specific funding sources. Again, the lakehaven Utility District's CIP is referenced, but no specific funding information is shown. At a minimum, a summary table of this information should be included in the Capital Facilities Element. Finally, the Fire Facilities component should also include a table of facilities, costs, and funding sources. . Both the Surface Water and the School Facilities components provide good detailed information on projects and facilities, their costs, and their funding sources. EXHIBIT --1.> PAGE 30~'/ The Honorable Mahlon "Skip" Priest March 8, 1996 Page 4 These two components do a good job of summarizing the required information; they should serve 'as examples for the other component~. It is important to remember that while a CIP can be incorporated into the Capital Facilities Element by reference, the reference alone is not enough to ensure that the public has easy access to information about the actual financial impacts. Wl:1ere CIPs or utility plans are included by reference, the City should, at a minimum, summarize project information by key categories, and then identify the costs and funding sources. The Capital Facilities Element does not need to repeat every single detail contained in a CIP; but it does need summary level information on projects, costs, and funding sources. The Transportation Element contains a 6-year project and financial plan within the TIP 1995-2010 (Table 111-20). that summarizes project and program expenditures .and revenues. However, about 78 percent of the revenues needed to cover project and program expenditures over the 6-year period are shown to come from. unspecified (Other) sources. The City's transportation needs are large, yet the funding sources to pay for those needs ~re.limited. It is unclear how, or whether, the City of Federal Way will actually be able to fund those projects. The City's reliance on nearly 78 percent of its funding from "Other" sources does not comply with the GMA requirement that probable funding sources be identified. The use of an unspecified "other" category does not constitute probable funding. The Act further requires that jurisdictions re-assess their land Use Element if the probable funding falls short of identified needs. In the City's policy related to funding shortfalls, CFP 25 (p. VI-36), none of the four activities listed require re-assessment of land use. The City of Federal Way's plan does not comply with the re-assessment requirement either. Other Issues ,. The Transportation Element contains a great deal of information. level of Service standards are discussed at length; however. it is unClear whether the City actually adopts any specific level of service standards. The plan states "the City's goal is to maintain or improve upon a PM peak hour roadway level of service so that it is at least as good as conditions existing today" (p. 111-32). However, specific level of services are not shown for the arterial or transit routes, and are not adopted in any of the policy statements. In fact, transportation policy TP-1 5, "Specify an . appropriate arterial level of service...," and TP-16, "Establish a level of service standard based on planning methodology...," (p. 111-39), suggest that the City will only be establishing level of services in the future. EXHIBIT Þ PAGE4-°F_-' ". I ~{ ,...: '. ... . ", ~ . , .. . . The Honorable Mahlon' .~p" Priest March 8, 1996 Page 5 The lack of adopted level of services makes the use of concurrency management impossible. However, the Transportation Element has not adopted a program or system for concurrency management either, It is identified as an activity in the Implementation Process "Develop a Concurrency Management Strategy for the City..." p. 111-88, but there are no timelines, so it is unclear when the City will actually adopt and implement a concurrency management program. Without adopted level of services and.a system 'for assessing concurrency, the Transportation Element is incomplete. The GMA (RCW 36. 70A.O60(1)) requires that lithe land Use Element shall provide for protection of quality and quantity of ground water used for public water suppties." The plan does not adequately address either of these issues within the t..and Use Element. The City's water supply comes from 25 wells that draw on a large aquifer that underlies most of the area. As noted though, the ground water withdrawal rate exceeds the recharge rate (p. 11-4). The City hopes to contract for additional water, but the quantity and availability of this supply have not b~en guaranteed at this point (p. VI-25).Further, while the City should be protecting water quality in its land Use Element through the designation of appropriate land uses and densities in well head protection and aquifer recharge areas, the land l!.se- maps have no designations for well head protection or aquifer recharge ar.eas.c The plan actually states that the extent of the aquifer has not been mapped or identified (p. VI-25), and that the City has not yet implemented a wellhead protection program to map protection zones and buffers (p. IX-3 to IX-4). Given the unknown extent of the aquifer, the lack of designated recharge areas, 'and the absence of wellhead protection zones and buffers, it is unclear how the City of Federal Way can determine or justify the appropriateness of its overlying land uses and densities. In this regard, the land Use Element is inconsistent with the adopted Countywide Planning Policies (po IX-3) and the GMA. The land Use Element contains a section on Essential Public Facilitie's (p. 11-17) which includes a single policy declaring that the city code will be amended 1I...to include a list of locally defined essential public facilities" (lUP50). If this is to be the City's only policy on Essential Public Facilities, it does not meet GMA requirements. Essential Public Facilities defined under the GMA refers to several categories of facilities that are difficult to site, including specific facilities that are defined and listed by the State's Office of Financial Management. The definition of these essential public facilities is not a local option. . Finally, with many pieces of the comprehensive plan still incomplete, the City's' implementation program for its adopted plan takes on new importance. The successful implementation of the plan will depend upon a careful and detailed EXHIBIT 1> PAGE-5-0F k . ,:: ' ~" . , . . .... j \I. The Honorable Mahlon "Skip" Priest March 8, 1996 Page 6 identification of plan deficiencies, policy and program priorities, city resources, and, ultimately, the assignment of specific departmental responsibilities and timelines. As written, the implementation section of the land Use Element (p. 11-1 9 to 11-20) is incomplete. It does not define priorities, identify responsibilities, assign resources, or establish goals, or estimate completion dates.

Clark, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Site Specific Requests I. INTRODUCTION The following is an analysis of six site specific requests for changes to the comprehensive plan designations. Seven requests were originally received (Exhibit G-1). However one of these requests (Site No.2) was withdrawn by the applicant early in the process. Two of the six remaining requests are for preannexation comprehensive plan designations for properties within the Potential Annexation Area (P AA) and four requests are for changes to existing comprehensive plan designations. Each request includes a description of the specific request, the planning division's recommendation to the planning commission and the planning commission's recommendation to the city council. II.

Planning Staff Recommendation: Establishment of pre-annexation Multifamily Comprehensive Plan designation and RM 3600 zoning. Planning Commission Recommendation: Concur with staff Comprehensive Plan Designation Analysis Surrounding Land Use/Zoning - The annexation area includes both undeveloped and developed property. The developed property is a fire station for the Federal Way Fire Department. The majority ofthe site (14.23 acres) is zoned RM 1800 which results in the potential for development of up to 24 units per acre. The western portion ofthe site comprised of two parcels totaling 4.97 acres is zoned Office. Pursuant to King County Code (KCC), Section 21A.14 -Mixed Use Development, townhouses and apartments are allowed in the Office zone as part of a Mixed Use Development with a base density of 36 units per acre. The proponent has requested that the zoning be established at RM 3600 (equivalent to 12 units per acre). Based on the requested RM 3600 zoning, the annexation would result in a reduction from the planned density. The existing fire station is a permitted use within the City's RM 3600 zone. The zoning south of the site is OP-1 -Office Park 1. The annexation area is within the adopted City of Federal Way Potential Annexation Area. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies - The proposed comprehensive plan amendment is consistent with the following goals and policies: Goal or Policy Comments LUP9 Designate and zone land to provide for Consistent. The majority of the site is zoned Federal Way's share of regionally- for 18 units per acre.

Environmental Analysis Sensitive Areas - The Comprehensive Plan identifies a wetland near the western edge of the site. The King County Sensitive Area Map Folio identifies the presence of wetland - Hylebos Creek No.4. It is a Class 2 wetland about 4.6 acres in size. The City's environmental mapping also indicated this same -2- EXHIBIT G- PAGE 50F 2 .- wetland area as a geologically hazardous area. These environmental hazards are located off the annexation area, but may affect future development because of sensitive area setbacks. Most of the site is covered with Douglas fir and Alder about 40 feet in height and shrub understory. The soils are Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. There are no significant slopes. Of the 19.2 acre site, 1.14 acres is occupied by the Federal Way Fire Department fire station.

Retaining Office zoning would likely create office traffic through the middle of this neighborhood in order to reach the office uses. This is because SR-18 has limited access directly to the southern portion of the site. The south parcel change results in a shift in land use from a business land use to a residential land use. This is a reduction from the planned land use intensity. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies North Parcel- The proposed amendment is relevant to the following goals and policies: Goal or Policy Comments LUP9 Designate and zone land to provide Consistent. The site is zoned R-4 (4 units! acre). for Federal Way's share of The proposal is for RS 9. 6 zoning which is regionally-adopted demand forecasts equivalent to the existing zoning.

The area to the north is presently zoned impacts of adjacent non-residential residential under King County and is proposed to uses be annexed to the City with RS 9.6 zoning. Because there is limited access from SR-18 to the southern parcel, without a change in zoning from OP-I to RS 9.6 for the south parcel, this would result in office traffic through a residential area. Environmental Analysis Sensitive Areas - As can be seen in the attached maps, these two parcels are separated by a road, but for purposes of description, they will be treated as one. The site is generally flat, containing one forested hill and numerous depressional areas of low relief. The steepest slope is approximately 35 percent. The soils are mapped primarily as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam 0 to 6 percent slopes, but also contains muck inclusions in the wetland areas. The site is located south of North Lake and contains numerous wetlands. Flagging on the site indicates that a wetland delineation has been conducted. Two large predominately forested wetlands are visible from a trail that bisects the site. There are also canopy breaks in the forest, which is indicative of additional wetlands on the site. These additional wetlands are likely to be classified as palustrine scrub/ shrub and emergent wetlands. In total, about 10 to 15 percent of the site is covered by wetlands. Future development will be affected by setbacks from these on-site wetlands. -5- EXHIBIT G PAGE-UOF 2., The King County Sensitive Area Map Folio identifies the nearby presence of wetland - Hylebos Creek No.7, also known as North Lake. Based on the King County wetland classification system, North Lake is a Class 2 wetland about 10.3 acres in size. The City's environmental mapping indicates the adjacent sites also contain wetland and waterfowl habitat. The site is forested with a shrub and herbaceous understory. The tree height is about 40 feet. Dominant vegetation at the site is Douglas fir, western red cedar, Indian plum, salmonberry, sword fern, salal, and hardhack.

Yes, provided by Federal Way School District. Lake Dolloff Elementary, Kilo Junior High, and Thomas Jefferson High School. Projections for Population and Employment The annexation area is within the adopted City of Federal Way Potential Annexation Area. The annexation area would add the potential for 84 single family residential units (on 18.42-acres, based on gross land area). The rezone of 20 acres of land already within the City would also add the potential for 91 single family residential units (based on gross land area). A total of 175 potential dwelling units could result from this annexation/rezone. However, it is unlikely that these parcels would achieve that number of units because of wetland, wetland buffer, and road requirements. EXHIBIT (;. PAGE-'!. OF a , -6- , ...

Comprehensive Plan Designation Analysis Surrounding Land Use/Zoning - To the north of the site is RS 35.0 zoning (Residential- one unit/35,000 sq. ft) which has been developed as ballfields. In this area is also located Panther Lake which is a regional storm drainage facility. To the south of the site is RM 2400 (Multifamily - one unit/2400 sq. ft.) and OP - Office Park. The RM 2400 zoned property is developed with multifamily dwellings and the OP zoned property is vacant.

However, this change was not reflected on the zoning map. Somewhere along the line, a designation of Neighborhood Business (BN) was shown on the City's zoning map for this property. This shows up on the July 1995 Zoning Map. The BN zoning was carried over to the current zoning map adopted on August 1, 1996. It is the opinion of the City's Legal Department that the zoning and concomitant agreement should be consistent. Environmental Analysis Sensitive Areas - There are no sensitive areas on site. The site has over 80 mature fir trees, native shrubs, and grasses. The site has variable soil conditions with native glacial fills and clean sand near 1st Avenue and up to nine feet of glacial fill soils on a large portion of the site. Availability of Utilities & Streets Sanitary Sewer: Public Water: Storm Drainage: Improved Streets: Sidewalks: Access: Yes, provided by Lakehaven Utility District. Yes, provided by Lakehaven Utility District. A drainage pond is on the site located adjacent to Campus Drive. A complete system is being proposed as part of the current development proposal and will be built in conjunction with that proposal. The site is currently served by SW Campus Drive and First Avenue South. Street improvements and traffic controls will be required as part of development of this site. Yes, sidewalks are provided along the entire frontage of the property. Access to and from the site will be provided by three proposed driveways: a full signalized access on SW Campus Drive; a right-in right-out access on SW Campus Drive; and right-in, left-out, right-out access on First Avenue South. These access points and traffic mitigation are currently under review by city staff as part of the development application. Availability of Public Services Police: FireÆmergency Medical: Other Considerations Provided by the City of Federal Way. Provided by Federal Way Fire Department. A development application for a grocery store and drug store, other related retail shops and services, and a 1.63 acre park development is currently under review by the City. This development is consistent with the concomitant agreement. A comprehensive plan amendment to Community Business and corresponding zone change to BC -Community Business will not create any impacts that were not previously considered at the time that the concomitant agreement was entered into. Furthermore, any potential adverse impacts will be addressed during the development review process. -8- EXH I B 111--G- PAGE/ OF ~ """,~"c,<"".",~,"~,,,'.."._, Site Specific Request #6 - Barovic Request Location: 35929 Pacific Highway South (Exhibit G-5) Proponent: Donald Barovic. Request: Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 14.77 acres from Single Family Low Density to Single Family High Density and Rezone from SE (Suburban Estates - one unit/five acres) to RS 5.0 (Single Family - one unit/5,OOO sq. ft.). Existing Comprehensive Plan: Single Family Low Density Existing Zoning: SE (Suburban Estates -- 1 unit/5 acres) Proposed Comprehensive Plan: Single Family High Density Proposed Zoning: RS 5.0 (Single Family - one unit/5,OOO sq. ft.) Planning Staff Recommendation: Retain the Suburban Estates zoning on the site. Planning Commission Recommendation: Support a change to Single Family Medium Density and RS 35.0 (1 unit/35,000 sq. ft.} zoning. This recommendation is for the larger area in the vicinity of Mr. Barovic's property presently designated Single Family Low Density (Exhibit G-6). Comprehensive Plan Designation Analysis for the Barovic property (no analysis has been done for the larger area shown in Exhibit G-6): Surrounding Land Use/Zoning - The site, approximately 14.77 acres in size, is zoned SE (Suburban Estates - one unit/five acres). The applicant is requesting a rezone to RS 5.0 (Single Family - one unit/5,OOO sq. ft.). On the north and south are SE (Suburban Estates - one unit/five acres) zoning. To the east is OP - Office Park zoning and to the west is RS 35.0 (Single Family - one unit/35,OOO sq. ft.) zoning. Across Pacific Highway to the east is also RS 35.0 (Single Family - one unit/35,OOO sq. ft.) zoning. The property to the north is developed as a church. The proponent anticipates that the site would develop with buildings clustered on the east portion ofthe property, away from Hylebos Creek. Special consideration was given to residential densities within the Hylebos Creek drainage area during the Comprehensive Plan process. This is an area where the presence of wetlands and riparian habitat are reflected in the comprehensive plan's land use and zoning designations. A property owner's appeal of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan land use designations in the Hylebos Creek drainage area was denied by the Puget Sound Growth Management Hearing Board. -9- EXHIB~lr ~ PAGEJ60F ~ S. 356TH ST. ~~ (i):z: miD SINGL.E-FAM L.OII DENSITY SE BIHGL.E-FAM L.OII Œ/UlITY SE SINGL.E-FAM L.OI!

A Single Family High Density designation would not be consistent with residential zoned land in the immediate vicinity. Protection of the Hylebos Creek from adverse development impacts is a concern, therefore, introducing higher density residential development and associated human activity into this sensitive area is not recommended even using cluster provisions. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies The proposed amendment is consistent with the following goals and policies: Goal or Policy Comments LUPI9 Consider special development techniques Consistent. The amendment proposes using (e.g., accessory dwelling units, zero lot clustering to preserve the environmentally lines, lot size averaging, and planned unit sensitive areas. developments) in single family areas provided they result in residential development consistent with the quality and character of existing neighborhoods.

The request to increase development and public actions to protect density may be detrimental to the water quality and to ensure adequate in- environment. stream flow to protect fisheries, wildlife habitat, and recreation resources. Environmental Analysis Sensitive Areas - The Hylebos Creek passes through the western portion of the property from north to south. Hylebos Creek is a major stream. Hylebos Creek has a riparian wetland associated with it in the northwestern portion of the property; this wetland is predominately palustrine scrub/shrub, but also contains trees and emergent vegetation. A second wetland system in located in the southeastern portion of the property. This too would be classified as a scrub/shrub wetland. The two wetland systems impact about 20 percent of the property. City code requires a 100-foot buffer around the edges of these wetlands. The site is hilly and consists of pasture and wetland. The vegetation throughout the pasture consists of grazed grasses, buttercup, and scattered big leaf maple. The wetland vegetation consists of salmonberry, red alder, hardhack, skunk cabbage, and water parsley. Geologic hazards are not shown as affecting this site. -10- EXH I B rrr G- PAGE_It°F_"- Availability of Utilities & Streets Sanitary Sewer: Public Water: Stonn Drainage: Improved Streets: Sidewalks: Access: No. However the Lakehaven Utility District states that the District has available capacity in the lines in front of the property to handle seven units per acre, however the property is presently outside of the District boundaries, and therefore, the property would have to be annexed into the District.

Projections for Population and Employment This Comprehensive Plan amendment request for RS 5.0 zoning would substantially increase the number of dwelling units on the site from two dwelling units, which are allowed under the existing Suburban Estates zoning. If a cluster subdivision was utilized, there would be the potential for 84 dwelling units on the 14.77 acre site. If the property was rezoned to RS 35.0 per the planning commission's recommendation, there would be the potential for 11 lots based on the cluster provisions. EXHIBIT c;.

Pierce County is the jurisdiction to the south of this site. The Puyallup Indian Reservation is also located to the south within Pierce County. The Pierce County Comprehensive Plan designates the adjacent site for Mixed Use and this area is zoned MUD (Mixed Use Development). The Mixed Use Development zone is a commercial zone which allows.some industrial uses but does not allow residential uses. The development along Pacific Highway South from the County line heading south is predominantly commercial with remnants of residential uses. There is a new mini- storage facility being completed about Y2 mile south of this site. This parcel has a cemetery and truck-trailer storage surrounding it. Across the street are truck parts/repair and undeveloped land. Single family low density use at this site would be surrounded by dissimilar uses.

Environmental Analysis Sensitive Areas - The site is covered with 30 to 40 foot tall fir trees and underbrush. The site slopes gently toward Pacific Highway South. There is a depressional wetland along the western edge of the site, where it is lower than the edge of the roadway. These wetlands extend the length of the property's western edge and may comprise about 15 percent of the property. Douglas fir, sword fern, salal, salmonberry, and huckleberry dominate the forested site. The dominant wetland vegetation consists of reed canary grass and soft rush. In 1996, the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan was appealed to the Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board raising the issues of low density residential zoning along the Hylebos Creek drainage area, due process, and public notice issues. That appeal was overturned. The Hearings Board found that the City of Federal Way had appropriately considered the environmentally sensitive lands within the Hylebos Creek drainage area when considering the density and intensity of land use and zoning for this area. Protection of the Hylebos Creek from adverse development impacts is a concern. Any future development of the site, whether as residential or commercial will require compliance with the City's environmental regulations. -13- EXHIBIT PAGE rl)MPARISON OF ALLOWABLE USES WITHIN THE PIERCE CO' 'TY MUD ZONING DISTRICT AND CITY OF FEDERAL WAY Bf AND ZONES -, A USES PIERCE COUNTY CITY OF FEDERAL WAY MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS COMMUNITY BUSINESS (BC) BUSINESS PARK (BP) (BN) Commercial Adult Business Amusement Park & p ~!:!!

WA 98003-6210 MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Subject: Land Useffransportation Committee Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer August 11, 1998 Transportation Site Specific Requests SITE-SPECIFIC REQUEST Tl Background This is a proposal to delete the proposed extension of SW 342nd Place between the proposed extension of 19th Place SW and 21st Avenue SW. The applicant intends to construct a 300-unit senior housing complex on the west side of the extension of 19th Place SW directly south of Twin Lakes Fred Meyer and north of the proposed Federal Way #2 Park and Ride lot. Analysis The applicable policy of the Comprehensive Plan is the following: TP21 Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets as follows: b. Collector streets every 600 feet with single family zones... This policy is also proposed for revision, increasing the spacing standard outside of City Center to Y4 mile. The proposed development does not meet this policy, however the applicant has proposed to provide a pedestrian connection to the proposed Park and Ride lot, thus reducing out-of-direction travel for pedestrians to transit facilities. Staff considered several alternative locations to provide a minor collector to replace SW 342nd Place, but deemed these problematic from the standpoint of traffic signal spacing, driveway spacing, topographic constraints, and likelihood of redevelopment to provide frontage improvements. EXHjtB~1r -~""~ P AGE ~-- () F.,S__. ~ Transportation Site Specific Requests August 11, 1998 Page 2 The applicant's approved Transportation Impact Analysis demonstrates that the proposed development would generate fewer trips than the existing zoning would allow and that the deletion of this street would not have a significant adverse impact 'on any adjacent intersections. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the request to delete SW 342nd Place between 19th Place SW and 21st Avenue SW from the Comprehensive Plan. SITE SPECIFIC REQUEST T2 Background The owner of one of the properties located on the proposed alignment of the extension of South 308th Street between 5th Place South and 8th Avenue South has proposed deletion of this proposed minor collector extension. The property owner had the property for sale and disclosed that this street extension would affect the property, which had the effect of discouraging buyers from considering the property. This extension was proposed as a means of improving neighborhood connectivity and reducing vehicular trips on South Dash Point Road (SR 509), thus reducing the potential for widening Dash Point Road to five lanes. The project to connect the South 308th Street has been listed on the city's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) since adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are as follows: TP20 Take advantage of opportunities to open new road connections to create route alternatives, especially in areas with few access choices. TP21 Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets as follows: b. Collector streets every 600 feet in single family zones... TP23 Minimize though traffic on residential streets by maximizing though travel opportunities on arterial and collector access streets. Currently, the street network between the two segments of South 308th Street consist of South 304th Street and South 305th Street, both of which are currently classified as local streets. Beyond these two streets, the next streets in either direction are South Dash Point Road (a minor EXHIB¡rr~ P AGE --2- (1 F ~ Transportation Site Specific Requests August 11, 1998 Page 3 arterial) and South 312th Street (a principal arterial), which are nearly one mile apart. Hence, the area could be considered as having "few access choices," thus invoking TP20. TP21 is proposed to be revised to a collector spacing standard of Y4 mile. Nevertheless, even with this larger spacing of collectors, South 308th Street would have to be constructed to be consistent with this policy. TP23 suggests that the existing use of South 304th Street and South 305th Street as a through route is inappropriate, and the construction of South 308th Street would appear to relieve these local streets of that function. Therefore, deletion of this proposed street extension would not be consistent with these policies. The property owner has not submitted an analysis of the impacts of deleting this proposed street extension. Based on the city's updated transportation model and the concurrency analysis conducted by staff as part of this Comprehensive Plan amendment, the proposed extension of this street does not appear to be needed to avoid major street widening on South Dash Point Road by the year 2015, although it could be needed at a later date. Although the subject property is not likely to redevelop, the parcels to the east could redevelop to substantially higher densities thus increasing traffic generation in the vicinity. Recommendation Based on the potential to avoid widening arterials and the potential redevelopment of adjacent properties, staff recommends denial of the proposed deletion of the extension of South 308th Street between 5th Place South and 8th Avenue South. SITE SPECIFIC REQUEST T3 Background Staff proposes to reconfigure the network of collectors in and around Celebration Park to maximize the use of the existing street network. The proposal includes the following: 1. Connection of South 333rd Street from the west side of Celebration Park to 13th Place South as a three-lane principal collector. 2. Extension of 13th Place South from its current terminus at the proposed extension of South 333rd Street to the intersection of 11 th Place South at South 324th Street as a three-lane principal collector. EXHiB~1r H PAGE_~()F ~--- Transportation Site Specific Requests August 11, 1998 Page 4 3. Reclassification of 8th Avenue South between South 333rd Street and 9th Avenue South as a two-lane minor collector. 4. Reclassification of 9th Avenue South between South 33 3rd Street and 8th Avenue South as a three-lane principal collector. 5. Deletion of the proposed principal collector from the intersection of 8th Avenue South at 9th Avenue South to the intersection of 13th Place South and South 333rd Street. The amendment is proposed to be consistent with both current and proposed future uses of Celebration Park. Analysis There are no Comprehensive Plan policies that appear to provide guidance to this issue. Issues that staff considered include the following: 1. Maintain functional integrity of the street network. 2. Minimize right-of-way impacts to properties. Division of existing parcels diagonally, for instance, increases the percentage of property necessary for roadway purposes and reduces the size of buildings that could be accommodated on a given parcel, thus reducing the value of the property. 3. Consider access and signal spacing criteria to avoid creating areas with potentially high crash rates or congested areas. 4. Consider topographical constraints to reduce environmental impacts and construction costs. The southwest comer of Celebration Park is a potential site for a future Performing Arts Center. Providing multiple access routes with appropriately sized streets would be important to the success of such a facility. The extension of South 333rd Street as proposed in lieu of the principal collector from the intersection of 8th Avenue South and 9th Avenue South to the intersection of South 333rd Street and 13th Place South would reduce right-of-way impacts to existing parcels, thus making them easier to develop without adverse impacts to the public. It also eliminates the close intersection spacing at 13th Place South and South 333rd Street in the existing plan. EXHfBI1T H P AGE II-r~~~ 5 -.------- -- t,¡ (j ------..- Transportation Site Specific Requests August 11, 1998 Page 5 The reclassification of 8th Avenue South would be more consistent with its current function while the extension of South 333rd Street would carry the majority of through traffic in this area. No topographical constraints appear to affect the location of these streets. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the following amendments: 1. Connection of South 333rd Street from the west side of Celebration Park to 13th Place South as a three-lane principal collector. 2. Extension of 13th Place South from its current tenninus at the proposed extension of South 333rd Street to the intersection of 11 th Place South at South 324th Street as a three-lane principal collector. 3. Reclassification of 8th Avenue South between South 333rd Street and 9th Avenue South as a two-lane minor collector. 4. Reclassification of 9th Avenue South between South 333rd Street and 8th Avenue South as a three-lane principal collector; 5. Deletion of the proposed principal collector from the intersection of 8th Avenue South at 9th Avenue South to the intersection of 13th Place South and South 333rd Street.
