CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 5, 2015
TO: Land Use and Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Marwan Salloum, P.E., Public Works Director
Sarady Long, Senior Transportation Planning neer
SUBJECT: Code Amendment — Temporary Suspension of Impact Fees for Change in Use
BACKGROUND:
On July 1, 2010, the City implemented the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program requiring new
development to pay their proportionate share of the cost of new facilities to serve new development
consistent with RCW 82.02. This program provides predictability, simplicity and generally results in
lower traffic fee than the SEPA- based pro -rata mitigation system as all development projects would pay
the same per trip fee.
Under the Transportation Impact Fee program, the City collects transportation impact fees on all
redevelopment of an existing building from one use to another use if the change increases the number of
trips generated. For example, a redevelopment of an existing restaurant to a drive -in bank would pay the
net difference between the two uses due to higher trip generation. Below is an example of change in use
and resultant traffic impact fee.
Example: Convert an existiniz 2,500 SF Restaurant to a Dive -in Bank

$33,627
Total Impact Fee Payment $17,515
Due to the economic downturn, on December 2011 the City council passed a 3 -year temporary suspension
of transportation impact fees charged for changes in use that do not add new square footage. In the
example above, under the temporary suspension, this redevelopment would not pay the $17,515 impact
fee. The temporary suspension is set to automatically expire on December 31, 2014.
To encourage and promote development activity, the Mayor proposes to extend the temporary suspension
for another three years until December 31, 2017. The temporarily suspension may help to attract new
businesses to fill vacant buildings and generate additional tax revenue for the City. However, if this
temporary suspension is successful, higher traffic volumes may result, with less financial capacity to fund
roadway improvements needed to accommodate new development. Code amendment to Chapter 19.91 is
attached.
