It articulates the community's vision and reflects community values. This chapter gives an overview of the comprehensive planning effort, Profiles red Way's p and lays out Federal Way's vision for its future. This plan contains a glossary of terms at the end of the document to help the reader with terms that may not be clear or understandable. 1.1 POaICY BACKGROUND The FWCP responds to the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA,) of 1990 and subsequent amendments. The FWCP also carries out Vision 2040, a shared strategy for how and where the Central Puget Sound Region can distribute a forecasted total of five million people and three million jobs by the Year 2040, while maintaining the well-being Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 9 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction Gro, of people and communities, economic vitality, and a healthy environment. The FWCP is also consistent with the 2012 Kinky Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), which call for multiple Urban Centers and defined Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), with much of the growth in employment and new housing occurring in the Urban Centers. Federal Way's plan also contains many coinponents that are not referenced in the GMA; these additional components are included in the plan due to their importance to the Federal Way community. Although Federal Way's goals and policies for growth and the provision of services are guided by the requirements of GMA, VISION 2040, and King Coun , Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), they primarily reflect the vision and goals of our own citizens. th Management Act The GMA (RCW 36.70A. 140)was passed by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, with amendments added in 1991 and subsequent ,years. The legislature passed the GMA in recognition of the rate of growth that was occurringthroughout the state, particularlX on the west side of the Cascades. The GMA requires that each jurisdiction produce a comprehensive plan that contains, at 0 minimum, elements pertaining to land use, transportation, capital facilities, housing, private utilities, economic development, and parks and recreation. These elements must be consistent with one another. The GMA also requires jurisdictions to undertake a complete review of their comprehensive plan every eight years. Jurisdictions are required to adopt policies and regulations protecting resource lands and critical areas, such as agricultural land, wetlands, and geologically hazardous areas. Each jurisdiction must coordinate its plan with the plans of surrounding jurisdictions. The GMA also requires that each city designate an urban growth boundary (UGA) or potential annexation area (PAA)as they are called in King Coun1y. The PAA defines the area within which the city- anticipates it could provide the full range of urban services at some time in the future. It also represents the area within which the city will consider annexations and the boundary beyond which it will not annex. Perhaps what most distinguishes the GMA from previous planning statutes is the requirement that public services be available or funded at some designated level of service before development may occur. If a jurisdiction cannot provide services to an area, then it maypermit development in that area. VISION VISION 2040's Regional Growth Strategy is a preferred pattern for accommodating residential and employment growth. It is designed to minimize environmental impacts, support economic prosperity, improve mobility, and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Revised 2M 2015 1 1-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 10 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction Cou VISION 2040's Regional Growth Strategy identifies the role that various cities, unincorporated areas, and rural lands categories play in accommodatingthe he re ig on's residential and employment growth. The strategyis s organized around categories of "regional geographies." The majority of the region's employment and housing growth is allocated to Metropolitan Cities and Core Cities, which together contain the more than two dozen designated regional growth centers. Larger Cities also play a�portant role over time as places that accommodate growth. Small Cities provide jobs and housing that support vital and active communities at a less intensive scale. Growth in the unincorporated urban growth area is prioritized for areas that are identified for annexation into adjacent cities. Significantly- less is allocated to the rural areas than has occurred in the past. Federal Way is designated as a Core City with a Regional Growth Center/Urban Center which is the City Center Core zoning district. Discussion of the Urban Center can be found in Chapter 7, City Center, of this Plan. nt wide Planninq Policies The 1991 amendments to the GMA require all counties planning under the act to adopt Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). The jurisdictions in King County formed a group called the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC, composed of elected officials from the Kinky Council, City of Seattle, and suburban cities. The missior of the GMPC was to draft the CWPPs for King County. These policies were adopted in 1992. In 1994, major amendments to the CWPPs were proposed by the GMPC. These amendments were subsequently adopted by King County and are bindingon n all jurisdictions in the County. Since 1994, the CWPPs have been updated as needed, with the last major amendments done in 2012. After approval and ratification by the King County Council, amendments are forwarded to the cities for ratification. Amendments to the CWPPs only become effective when ratified by at least 30 percent of the city and county governments, representing 70 percent of the population of CountE. U12 THEI COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING EFFORT Why Plan? Federal Way plans for people. People need a safe and secure place to live, an economy that provides family wage jobs, a transportation system that allows them to get around, and schools, colleges, and recreational opportunities. People also benefit from a human - scaled built environment that provides opportunities for walking and bicycling with access to healthy foods and opportunities to experience the natural environment. It is the city government's responsibility to provide public services and facilities, develop Revised 2M 2015 1 1-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 11 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction policies, and adopt regulations to guide the growth of a city that meets the needs of its people. From incorporation to the present, the guide for Federal Way's growth and development has been the Comprehensive Plan. What Is a Comprehensive Plan? The role of the FWCP is to clearly state elear- y o r the community's vision for its future, and to articulate a plan for accomplishing this vision over a 20-year period. The FWCP seeks to answer a number of questions: • What areas are most suitable for development or redevelopment? • What areas should be preserved in their natural state? • How ean we manage that growth to realize ouf vision for the eonununity? • How can we encourage the type of development we desire? • How should we address traffic congestion? • How many parks do we need, of what size, kind, and where? • What steps should we take to encourage economic development? • How can we encourage preservation of our historic resources? • How can we ensure an adequate supply of affordable housing for all income levels? • What utilities and public services will we need? • How will the community pay for all of these things? Each of the FWCP's chapters addresses these questions, and more, in the areas of transportation, land use, economic development, capital facilities, utilities, and housing. The answers form the policies, which guide implementation of our community vision. The policy statements within each chapter are used to guide new or revised zoning and other regulations. The FWCP also sets a clear framework for where the community will need to spend money on capital facilities, how much, and identifies available funding sources. As a whole, the FWCP offers a flexible framework for Federal Way's future, allowing for adaptation to real conditions over time. In r�!r_�iy,�r.� • .. ..�szrs!�ar�:�eesss!r_r�.iers. _ _ ... ..

Federal Way adopted an Interim Comprehensive Plan at the time of incorporation in February of 1990. In November of 1995, after a three-year planning process with much public involvement, Federal Way adopted its first GMA-compliant comprehensive plan (FWCP).-The ideas in the FWCP were developed through discussion, debate, and the creative thinking of thousands of Federal Way citizens, working with City staff and elected officials. Consistent with the GMA, the City of Federal Way provided early and continuous opportunities for citizens to participate in CityShape. CityShape was the name given to the City's comprehensive planning project. CityShape was also the name given to the process used to develop the FWCP. 110 •• • _ o 16 1��:ISRlS�:!!!!! !�!4�.'l��:I:!7:lRli!IRILT.tS!� �!:!lli�E�'i!�Si!!!�!: !�:1�'!US—MON - - =-' 1. - - =-.- -, I. =-'-.

Revised 2M 2015 1 1-9 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 17 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction 1.23 FEDERAL WAY'S COMMUNITY PROFILE: PAST AND PRESENT Planning for the future requires a good understanding of how our community has grown and changed in the past. The following discussion provides that backdrop as a context for subsequent chapters. The earliest recorded accounts of the Federal Way area tell of Native American families who resided in the area of the Muckleshoot Reservation on the east side of the Green River Valley and traveled west to the shores of Puget Sound for the plentiful fisheries resources. Generations of Muckleshoot Indians wore a westward trail across the heavily forested plateau to the area which is now Saltwater State Park. The arrival of the white man in the nineteenth century resulted in a steady decline in the Indian population and by 1890, nearly the entire population had disappeared from the area. Isolated on a triangular shaped plateau rising steeply from Puget Sound, the Federal Way area had little waterfront access or roadways and accordingly, was sparingly developed compared to Tacoma and Seattle. As late as the turn of the century, the original settlers at Dash Point and Dumas Bay had to row to Tacoma for supplies and mail. Old Military Road, constructed around 1856 and extending north from Fort Steilacoom, past Star Lake to Seattle and Fort Lawton, was the first road through the area. Over time, narrow dirt roads were added to provide east/west access and by 1900, a road was constructed between Star Lake and Redondo. The second crossroad, the "Seattle Road," connected old Military Road and Kent. The Seattle -Tacoma Interurban Line, completed in 1901, provided a fast and easy way to reach these urban cities. Improved access brought many visitors to the area and Star Lake became a popular summer recreation site. By the 1920s, Federal Highway 99, the interstate that linked the western states from north to south, was complete. At this time, Federal Way was still primarily forest and farmland. Fred Hoyt had a cabin on Dumas Bay and started a road to Tacoma (still called Hoyt Road). The timber companies, which had a major logging operation going, built an early railroad line and were instrumental in getting Marine View Highway (now Dash Point Road) built in the early 1920s. This roadway spurred development along the coastline. Soon thereafter, Peasley Canyon Road was built to connect Military Road with the Auburn Valley. This road later became known as South 3201' Street. In these early days, roadways set the stage for development in the area and they still play an important role in the City today. By the start of World War II, a number of small, thriving communities made up the area that is now Federal Way. Some communities were clustered around lakes, such as Steel Lake, Star Lake, and Lake Geneva. Others were sited to take advantage of the view of Puget Sound, like Adelaide and Buenna. As each of these communities grew, residents built small schoolhouses for their children. By the late 1940s, King County consolidated the many individual red schoolhouses into the Federal Way School District, from which the City gets its name. Revised 2M 2015 1 1-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 18 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction During this same period, a library was built along the edge of Highway 99, and between 308`h Street and 320`h Street, a small "downtown" developed with a general store, lumber yard, realty office, beauty parlor, feed store, and gas station. By the end of the 1950s, the ten blocks between 308' and 320' Streets became the first roadside commercial district. One of the more unique developments was Santa Faire, a family oriented theme park. New shopping areas were added around the park, helping to create a "community focus" for the residents of the area. As this commercial area developed, the rest of Federal Way was changing as well. The Boeing Company expanded their operations in Renton and the Kent Valley and began advertising nationally for engineers. Those engineers in turn began roaming the wooded acreage in Federal Way in search of housing. One of the earliest residential developments was Marine Hills, built in 1958 overlooking Puget Sound. Weyerhaeuser, one of the early timber companies, had large land holdings in the area and began to develop their land into high quality housing with amenities like golf courses. Weyerhaeuser's development company also began developing commercial property, creating the West Campus business park. The plan was to integrate offices and businesses with lush landscaping. Though initially the corporate office market was not strong, West Campus has grown almost to capacity, providing space for many civic buildings such as City Hall, the police station, the area's major health care centers, and higher density housing. Another major landmark in the area is the Commons, built in the mid-1970s on what was farmland south of 320t' Street. The Commons is one of the largest malls in South King County and is the anchor for retail development in the area. The mall was a result of population growth in the region and its location was determined by the 320`h Street intersection with Interstate 5. The Interstate supplanted Highway 99 as the main artery for commuter traffic in the County. By the mid- 1980s, South King County was growing quickly. Retail growth occurred along Highway 99, especially at the 320' Street intersection. Roads and office space were developed to accommodate the increased growth. Residential growth was also prominent, following plans developed by King County, with a large number of apartment homes. The changes to the community, with increased housing and traffic, created a movement for greater self-determination. In 1989, the citizens of this area voted for incorporation and the City of Federal Way was born, incorporating on February 28, 1990. Federal Way's Future Vision - - - - - - In the year 2035, Federal Way has changed significantly during the 45 years that have elapsed since incorporation. This is due to the following characteristics: Revised 2M 2015 1 1-11 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 19 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction Fed Way ;s a great place tolive, work, and play because of i s Government For and By the People: All governmental entities reflect the can -do attitude of Federal Way citizens and partner with them to provide quality services, often through volunteerism. Governmental entities reflect the community's values of diversity, innovation, and participation. Together, the community and its neighborhoods have built a sense of identity and ownership for Federal Way and its future. Fiscally conservative, innovative financial and management (eontr cting model) strategies, along with economic growth, have allowed the community to enjoy a moderate tax rate, with bond issues approved to support major projects. The eewAmunity vision has .r r maid a f etis • `i�ssss� Vibrant and Diverse Growth: Development goals have fostered the preservation of a primarily residential community and open natural areas, with concentrated urban development in the City's Center and secondary commercial districts. Development activity is focused on in -fill and redevelopment to create vibrant neighborhoods where residents have the option of walking, bicycling, or using transit for most of their needs. An increase in the number of corporate headquarters, annexation of the Potential Annexation Areas (PAA), and build out of available single-family sites, at competitive prices, has accommodated Federal Way's population target. Some Nnew multiple -family development is concentrated in the City Center/Highway 99 corridor area, primarily through demote mixed -use condominiums and apartments. T44s The pedestrian friendly, multi -use City Center, with multi -story and underground parking facilities works well for many. Federal Way citizens enjoy a wide variety of dining and shopping options, and the pedestrian plazas, parks and civic amenities of the City Center. Infrastructure has been developed concurrently growth, preserving the community's Quality of life. ._ Economic Vitality: Strategically located in the Pacific Rim, between SeaTac Airport and the Port of Tacoma, Federal Way provides jobs as an international and regional retail and employment center. Federal Way is alse home to several corporate headquarters such as the Weyerhaeuser Company and regional headquarters such as Kiewit Bridge and Marine l,,eatea :n East a -ad West Camp is-.-, although Weyerhaeuser will be moving its headquarters to Seattle in 2016. There is also a .rig medical services sector that Revised 2M 2015 1 1-12 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 20 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction includes St. Francis Hospital, Virginia Mason Hospital, Group Health Cooperative, and Total Renal Care Inc. (Davita). Companies choose Federal Way for its sense of neighborhood identity, mix of housing stock, proximity to natural resources (mountains, oceans, and waterways), and safety. The growth in the corporate headquarters and medical services segment of the economy has netted economic spinoffs for Federal Way's small business community, as small business provides support services for these ee-w^rate pa-r'- companies. Growth in the small business economy has generated some redevelopment of previously large retail warehouse facilities to accommodate office, retail, and light manufacturing. Quality jobs have boosted disposable income, supporting expansion of Federal Way's retail and commercial sectors. The resulting enhancements to the community's tax base have helped to support a high quality of community life. 4fficient Tf�affiE Transportation System: Federal Way's transportation system links neighborhoods with the City Center, and Federal Way with other communities in the Puget Sound region. Concentrated economic growth in East and West Campus and the City Center has allowed mass transit to connect Federal Way's economic core with the economic and leisure hubs of Puget Sound communities. Concentrated growth has allowed the community to maintain the infrastructure in outlying areas, focusing new infrastructure in the City's Center. Selective investment in emerging transportation technologies optimize safety and reduce delays. Bicycling improvements provide a range of route alternatives for a variety of skill levels. Sidewalk improvements provide safer passage to schools, parks, and shopping. Multi -use trails connect parks and community centers to provide increased recreational opportunities and convenient non -motorized transportation. YetAh have Catind the transpoftatien system easy a+ld safe to 'ase in gett4flg to seheel. Safety, Infrastructure, and Utilities: This issue has been addressed at the neighborhood level, where community -based policing philosophies and citizen efforts to create a sense of neighborhood with real and perceived safety are most effective. A !!professional and compassionate law enforcement for-ee communicates clearly with the community's diverse populations and business community, providing a visible community presence, as well as acceptable emergency call response times. Improvements in safety have been a cornerstone for the community's economic and residential growth. The utility and fire districts share this community vision and have targeted their efforts and resources to continue to provide effective and efficient delivery of water, sewer, telephone, television, power, and fire services. Increased coordination between these districts and the City, and these districts and their regional counter -parts, has ensured adequate service expansion to make the community's development vision a reality. Caring for Our Own: Governmental and social service agencies work in concert to provide a caring and safe environment for all Federal Way citizens. Ever -improving educational institutions, public and private, serve all interests and ages throughout the community. Neighborhoods have joined with the schools in their area to improve student achievement, school facilities, and resources. Strong educational institutions and the leadership of the Federal Way School District, Highline Community College, and DeVry University have contributed to the community's economic growth, providing a trained work force and quality education for the families of employees who locate here. The City has been the catalyst for creating a one -stop shopping center for human services, affordable housing, neighborhood services, and related w4th programs to serve low- and moderate -income Revised 2M 2015 1 1-13 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 21 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction residents of the City. elieftts in improving their- individual situ4iens The City works in partnership with non- profit service providers and residents to support economic empowerment and self- sufficiency for all households in Federal Way. Quality Culture, Environment, and Play: Parks, trails, sports, urban agriculture, and cultural arts facilities cater to the active lifestyle of Federal Way citizens. By partnering with the Federal Way School District and other agencies, the community has developed a long- range plan for facilities, parks, and services,_ •tom This partnership is yielding more and better facilities, and rg_eater joint facility utilization than any one agency could provide alone. A performing arts and conference a*d eiilt,,,.,,' a center (PACC) has been built, although it will require operating subsidies for- its first eight years-- and serves the area's residents, business community and the greater region. Construction of the PACC (Town Center 1), Town Square Park (Town Center In, shopping center Town Center III, , and transit oriented development (Town Center IV) has positively affected the City Center by attracting new businesses and stimulating redevelopment of existingsites tes (the Town Center Concept is discussed in Chapter 7, City Center). This has resulted in a vibrant downtown with attractions for all ages. The Federal Way area is blessed with a bounty of natural beauty and scenery. This bounty includes dramatic vistas of Mt. Rainier; numerous lakes, streams, and wetlands; the pastoral setting in the Spring Valley area; and views of Puget Sound and Vashon Island from the saltwater ridge. The City is committed to preserving this this vast natural resource for the citizens and future citizens of Federal Way. Regional Player: Finally, Federal Way institutions and citizens are regional partners and participants in the economic, political, and cultural life of Puget Sound. This participation has yielded funding opportunities for community facilities, including housing and human services. that detfaet from otir- ' . Regional participation has crossed the seas with sister city relationships which are supported by Federal Way citizens. These relationships have had significant cultural, educational, and economic benefits for the community.

In order to grow gracefully, and remain a healthy and desirable community, tomorrow's higher density growth areas must be accompanied by improved amenities for urban life. More resources will be required to maintain the high quality of life we currently enjoy, thanks to our parks, streets, and other public services. A combined effort of the public sector, neighborhood groups, local churches, non-profit agencies such as the Multi -Service Center, businesses, schools, and individual citizens will be required. The early and continuing cooperation and collaboration of these groups in this process will ensure this vision will be realized. Getting to the Future from the Present The FWCP is intended to manage growth and change in Federal Way over the next 20 years. The future described in the FWCP cannot be achieved all at once. Over the life of the FWCP, growth will likely occur more slowly at times, more rapidly at others, and in somewhat different patterns and sequences than is currently foreseen. T'�� a eempr-ehensive plan ean be is a well e"e4ed guess abeu� how to aeeemmedate people and rditions that eannot be'",,...,,, in adva- ee An effective comprehensive plan must be flexible enough to succeed within a range of likely conditions and must be adjusted as those conditions are monitored and evaluated, while maintaining a steady aim at its ultimate goals. How Will The Plan Be Implemented? A comprehensive plan is the first step toward realizing the City's vision. The vision is achieved when the comprehensive plan is implemented. Federal Way's implementation program is comprised of a combination of short-term and long-term actions. Short-term actions include the approval of comprehensive plan amendments and rezones that match the FWCP's land use designations vision. Other actions include the annual update of the City's six year Capital Improvement Program, which describes the street, park, and surface water utility projects the City intends to build. There are also long- term actions including subarea planning, monitoring, evaluating, and amending the FWCP as conditions change; and developing a capital investment program that allocates resources to projects that will spur the City's development in the direction envisioned in the FWCP. Subarea Plans: Adoption of subarea plans such as the City Center and the Twin Lakes Commercial Subarea Plans will follow the adoption of the FWCP a -a will p Eluee amendments that tailor the FWCP's citywide perspective to individual areas, whether they are neighborhood retail nodes or light manufacturing areas. The FWCP een4ains s„b ar-e., plan for- the City Corte. Subarea plans are expected to continue to aid in adjusting and fine-tuning the FWCP over time. Revised 2M 2015 1 1-15 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 23 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction Coordination with Other Jurisdictions: Federal Way representatives have participated with King County, other cities, Sound Transit, and the Puget Sound Regional Council in numerous discussions on various issues such as how to accommodate projected housing and employment and how to provide transportation opportunities for citizens. Some issues have been addressed and ether-s have been idet4ified far- additional diseussion. Undoubtedly, continued regional planning forums will need to be created to meet the GMA's challenge for regional action toward creating, implementing, and funding a shared vision for the greater Puget Sound region. Regulatory Provisions: Implementing the FWCP will include continuing r-etaining, to modifying, a*d/er re„l^^i^^ existing regulations, an"r draftifrg new regulations consistent with the policies and goals of the FWCP. For- insta-mee, in 2007 the City f4med ., stakeholders group that r-eviewed the City's pefmitting pr-eeess and made r-eeemmendat enee a year- to provide inptA to the ' . In recent years, the City has taken proactive steps to streamline regulations in order retain existing businesses and to attract new ones. A Strategic Investment Strategy: This will describe a framework for making resource allocation decisions in an environment where wants and needs always exceed the finite resources available. Tradeoffs among many possible investment choices will be made to achieve the FWCP's goals. The framework will add dimension to the FWCP's goals by enabling them to be addressed over time. The City of Federal Way is investing in its future by maintainingand nd improving its infrastructures city-wide and building the Town Square Park and the PACC in the City Center to attract and foster economic development. Human Services, Public Safety, and Environmental Planning: These will continue to build upon the foundation established by the FWCP. Much of the FWCP, as developed to fulfill the GMA, addresses physical development and its related regulatory and fiscal support. Federal Way works with other levels of government, non-profit providers, and citizen groups to support an array of activities and services that contribute to the quality of life of Federal Way's citizens. These include public safety; health, cultural, educational, and environmental activities; and human services. To ensure that the Revised 2M 2015 1 1-16 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 24 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction interrelationships of all aspects of urban life are addressed, planning will be undertaken by the City in a way that is supportive of and coordinated with the FWCP. For example, the City is in the initial stages of designating an area in the vicinity of South 288t' Street and Military Road as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). This designation would allow the City to invest in housing, economic development, and other community resources over a five to ten year period to build from existing neighborhood strengths and fill existing gaps. Monitoring and Evaluation: This will be done periodically to assess progress toward achieving FWCP goals, as well as to measure the conditions and changes occurring within the City. Monitoring and evaluation will help ensure consistency within and among the FWCP chapters, as well as with the GMA, VISION 2040, the CWPPs, and county and regional growth plans. Monitoring and evaluation will lead to both FWCP amendments and improved ability to project future conditions. Citizen participation: i* The City pfeeesses will continue to build upon the dialogue between government and citizens that began with the development and adoption of the FWCP in 1995. The City will strive to find improved means to communicate with, and involve citizens in planning and decision -making such as the Mayor's Neighborhood Connection Meetings started in 2014, and engaging in social media. The City will strive to provide information that can be easily understood and to provide access for public involvement. This will include processes for making amendments to and implementing the FWCP. Application of the Plan The principal purpose of the comprehensive plan is to provide policies that guide the development of the City in the context of regional growth management. These policies can be looked to by citizens and all levels of government in planning for the future of Federal Way. Revised 2M 2015 1 1-17 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 25 of 804 FWCP — Chapter One, Introduction The FWCP format generally presents a discussion about an issue followed by a goal, and some policies related to that goal. Goals describe what the City hopes to realize over time, and are not mandates or guarantees. Policies describe actions that will need to be taken if the City is to realize its goals. Policies should be read as if preceded by the words, "It is the City's general policy to...." A policy helps guide the creation or change of specific rules or strategies (such as development regulations, budgets, or pregr-a subarea plans). City e ffieials will g ,-all , make d eifi , City .,,bons by following FWCP r,.heies rather- than by referring direetly to the F-WGn Implementation of most policies involves a range of City actions over time, so one cannot simply ask whether a specific action or project would fulfill a particular FWCP policy. For example, a policy that the City will "give priority to" a particular need indicates that need will be treated as important, not that it will take precedence in every City decision. Some policies use the words "shall" or "should," "ensure" or "encourage," and so forth. In general, such words describe the relative degree of emphasis that the policy imparts, but not necessarily to establish specific legal duty to perform a particular act, to undertake a program or project, or to achieve a specific result. Whether such a result is intended must be determined by reading the policy as a whole, and by examining the context of other related policies in the FWCP. Some policies may appear to conflict, particularly in the context of a specific fact situation or viewed from the different perspectives of persons whose interests may conflict on a given issue. A classic example is the "conflict" between policies calling for "preservation of the environment" and policies that "promote economic development." Because FWCP policies do not exist in isolation and must be viewed in the context of all potentially relevant policies, it is largely in the application of those policies that the interests, which they embody, are reconciled and balanced by the legislative and executive branches of City government. .. R im Mal Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process The City will update the FWCP annually in order to keep this document current with the community's vision and the City Council's policy direction. in addition to ,,...a. inn ehapter-s, stieh as Capital Faeilifies, the publie will also be notified that a eofflpfe.-�-;-Zasive.

Revised 2M 2015 1 1-19 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 27 of 804 CHAPTER TWO - LAND USE 2.0 INTRODUCTION generalThrough the CityShape and Vision process, the eonm*tmit-y pfedueed a eeneept of what the City should leek a- l 4;,...etio,, live i the The Land Use chapter serves as the foundation of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) by providing a framework for Federal Way's future development and by setting forth policy direction for Federal Way's current and future land uses. Development of land, according to adopted policies and land use designations discussed in this chapter, should result in an appropriate balance of services, employment, and housing. The land use policies are supplemented by a Comprehensive Plan Designations Map (Map II-11 and Zoning Map (Map II-2), fmaps are located at the end of the chapter) that provides a visual illustration of the proposed physical distribution and location of various land uses. This map allocates a supply of land for such uses as retail services, employment, parks, open space, and housing to meet future demand. 2.1 POLICY BACKGROUND The City's comprehensive plan is required to be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Puget Sound Regional Council goals and policies of Vision 2040, and the King Cy Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). VISION 2040 and the CWPPs, both required by the Growth Management Act (GMA), provide a regional framework to achieve the goals of the GMA. Policies contained in the comprehensive plan have been prepared to implement the GMA, VISION 2040, and the CWPPs as theygpply to the City. By plementing the following goals, in addition to many others, the Land Use Chanter is consistent with both VISION 2040 and the CWPP's direction: • Creating a City Center (urban center) as an area of concentrated employment and housing, served by high capacity transit, public facilities, parks, and open space. Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 28 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use • Limiting_ growth outside the City Center to areas that are already urbanized. • Encouraging in -fill development. • Protecting environmentally sensitive areas. h Manaaement The Growth Management Act (GMA) states that, "...a lack of common goals expressing the public's interest in conservation and the wise use of our lands pose a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development, and the health, safe , and high quality of life enjoyed by residents of this state" (RCW 36.70A.010). The GMA provides a framework for content and adoption of local comprehensive plans. The GMA provides 13 goals to be, "...used exclusively for the purpose of guiding development of comprehensive plans and development regulations." A number of the GMA goals pertain to land use. The, are as follows: Urban Growth — Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. Reduce Sprawl — Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-densi , development. Housing — Encourage the availability of affordable housin tg o all economic segments of the population of the state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existinghousing ousin stock. tock. Open Space and Recreation — Retain open space, enhance recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water. and deve parks and recreational facilities. Environment — Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality and the availability of water. Public Facilities and Services — Ensure that those public facilities and services necessar to o support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. Revised 2QU 2015 1 II-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 29 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use Historic Preservation — Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures that have historical or archaeolo ig cal significance. Property Rights — Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. MV01 ITAC VISION 2040 is the long-range growth management, economic, and transportation strategy for the central Puget Sound region encompassing King Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties adopted by the Puget Sound Regional (PSRC) in 2008. VISION 2040's Regional Growth Strategy is a preferred pattern for accommodating future residential and employment growth. It is designed to minimize environmental impacts, support economic prosperity and, improve mobility, and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. The overarching goal of VISION 2040 related to land use is to focus growth within already urbanized areas to create walkable, compact, and transit -oriented communities that maintain unique local character. Centers will continue to be a focus of development. Rural and natural resource lands will continue to be permanent and vital parts of the region. Development patterns of the last half of the 20th century often separated people from jobs, focused on accommodating the automobile, and altered critical ecosystems. Some of the results have been sprawl development, increasing health concerns, overburdened transportation and infrastructure systems, and increased pollution. The loss of land cover and vegetation to impervious surfaces, including buildings and pavement, also contributes to climate change —although not as significantly as the burning of fossil fuels. More recently, steps have been taken once again to build communities that are walkable and have a mix of uses, and that take advantage of materials and buildingtechniques that have less impact on the environment. To further this goal VISION 2040 has allocated the majority of the region's employment and housing growth to Metropolitan Cities and Core Cities. The City of Federal Way is a Core City. Therefore, an important connection between VISION 2040 policies and the City's land use policies is development of a regional growth center (Urban Center), referred to as the City Center Core in the FWCP. Designated centers are intended to attract residents and businesses because of their proximity to services and jobs, a variety of housing types, access to regional amenities, Revised 2QU 2015 II-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 30 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use Co mass transit service, and other advantages. Centers are recognized for their benefits in creating compact, walkable communities that support transit and other services. Housing and jobs should be located in a manner that provides for easy mobility and accessibility. nt wide Planning Policies The 2012 CWPPs address changes to the GMA since its initial adoption in 1990 and reflect the regional direction established in VISION 2040. CWPPs provide a framework for both the county and its respective cities Adherence to these policies ensures that plans within the coun , are consistent with one another. These policies address such issues as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing, provision of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly development. The overarching Goal related to development patterns in the CWPPs is that growth in King County occurs in a compact, centers -focused pattern that uses land and infrastructure efficiently and that protects Rural and Resource Lands. It goes on to say that consistent with the GMA and VISION 2040; urban lands are intended to be the focus of future growth that is compact, includes a mix of uses, and is well -served by public infrastructure. Urban lands also include a network of open space where ongoing maintenance is a local as well as a regional concern. 2.-1 2 THO LAND USE CONCEPT Federal Way's existing land use pattern (the physical location of uses) exists as a result of development administered by King County until 1990 and subsequent development under Federal Way's jurisdiction. As shown in Map II-23 (Generalized Existing Land Use) and Figure II-1 (Percent Gross Land Area By by Existing Land Use), in cep December-2006 2012,43.approximately 34 percent of Federal Way's gross land area was developed as single-family development, ten 7 percent as multiple -family development, and 4- 11 percent for office, Fetai4 commercial, and industrial uses. Updates to the FWCP will not substantially modify this land use pattern.

These goals and policies, related to quality development, serve and will continue to serve as a basis from which to develop appropriate implementation measures. Design guidelines, adopted in 1996, 1999, and 2003 are used as an integral component of the development review process. Design guidelines address location and type of pedestrian amenities and public spaces; pedestrian and vehicle circulation; building setbacks, orientation, form, and scale; landscaping; and mixed -use commercial/residential design.

The designations set forth locational criteria for each specific class of uses consistent with the long-term objectives of the FWCP. These designations provide the purpose and intent for specific zoning districts. The location of comprehensive plan land use designations are shown on the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map (Map H-1). Residential Areas Single Family Federal Way is known for its quality single-family neighborhoods. This section contains goals and policies that will shape future development and protect or improve the character and livability of established neighborhoods. The demand for and development of single-family housing is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Single-family development will occur as in -fill development of vacant lots scattered throughout existing neighborhoods and as subdivisions on vacant tracts of land.

Single Family Medium Density The Single Family Medium Density designation creates urban lots with a density range of one to three dwelling units per acre to avoid developing on or near environmentally sensitive areas or areas that lack urban infrastructure. The Single Family Medium Density designation can be found along the Puget Sound shoreline and south of South 356"' Street, both east and west of SR 99. Lot sizes of 35,000 and 15,000 square feet provide for a transition in density between land designated as Single Family High Density Residential and Single Family Low Density Residential.

However, there are major environmental and ownership differences between the two areas. The area east of 1st Avenue South is characterized by the Hylebos Wetlands and associated streams. In addition, there are many parcels that are either publicly owned or are intended as wetland mitigation for development elsewhere in the drainage basin. Therefore, based on the relative absence of environmental constraints and the future availability of public services in the area west of lst Avenue South, an increase in density may be warranted. Single Family High Density A majority of the single-family residential land in the City is designated as Single Family High Density, which is equivalent to. T 4 .,n den6itie ef RS 9.6 one unit per 9,600 square feet), RS 7.2 (one unit per 7,200 square feet, and RS 5.0 (one unit per 5,000 square feet) zoning districts respectively, and provide for a range of housing densities. Single Family High Density residential designations are located within close and convenient proximity to neighborhood business centers, areas of existing or future employment, transit, and existing urban infrastructure and services.

LUP4-918 Continue to Gconsider special development techniques (e.g., lot size averaging, cottage housing, accessory dwelling units, townhomes, duplexes, -and planned unit developments) in single-family areas, provided they result in residential development consistent with the quality and character of existing neighborhoods. LUP-019 Preserve site characteristics that enhance residential development (trees, water -courses, vistas, and similar features) using site planning techniques such as clustering, planned unit developments, and lot size averaging. MUI#ire=Family The multiple -family residential land use designation represents an opportunity to provide a range of housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth. The increase in population, aging population, increasing diversity, decline in average family size, and high cost of single-family homes have created heavy demand for new housing types. The Land Use chapter encourages the development of housing types, such as duplexes, townhouses, senior housing, quality apartment units and condominiums in existing multiple - family areas and within mixed -use development in commercial areas. During the 1980s, the City's landscape changed, as a number of large apartment complexes were constructed. These apartments, often built without regard to scale or amenities, created a general dissatisfaction with the appearance of multiple -family development. In 1999, the City amended its Community Design Guidelines to address the appearance and character -a of multiple- family dwelling units. Incentives for creating desired development such as duplexes and townhouses should be considered. Multiple Famill, Multiple_ Family uses in large part are in areas currently zoned for multiple -family development. Designations of 3600, 2400, and 1800 square feet per dwelling unit, corresponding to densities of 12, 18, and 24 dwelling units per acre respectively, will continue to be used. Opportunities for new development will occur through redevelopment and build -out of remaining parcels.

Commercial Designations Existing commercial areas are predominantly auto -oriented and characterized by one-story low intensity development. In the future, it is desired that these areas will become more intensively developed and pedestrian oriented, and in some designations, accommodate housing. Transforming existing areas into places where people want to live, shop, and work requires changes.

Neighborhood Business There are 14 various sized nodes of Neighborhood Business located throughout the City. These nodes are areas that provide retail and/or services to adjacent residential areas. The FWCP recognizes the importance of architectural and site design guidelines to provide compatibility between neighborhood business areas and adjacent neighborhoods. Neighborhood Business areas are intended to provide convenient goods (e.g., groceries and hardware) and services (e.g., dry cleaners, dentist, bank) at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale close to adjacent residential uses. Developments combining residential and commercial uses provide a convenient living environment within these nodes. In the future, attention should be given to design features that enhance the appearance or function of these areas. Improvements may include sidewalks, open Revised 2QU 2015 1 II-30 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 57 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use space and street trees, and parking either on street or oriented away from the street edge. The function of neighborhood business areas can also be enhanced by safe pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections to surrounding neighborhoods. The need to address expansion or intensification may occur in the future depending on population growth. Future neighborhood business locations should be carefully chosen and sized to meet the needs of adjacent residential areas.

Revised 2QU 2015 1 II-35 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 62 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two. Land Use 2.9 ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES Essential public facilities include those facilities that are typically difficult to site, such as airports, state or regional transportation systems, correctional facilities, and mental health Pursirai}t facilities. Pursuant to the GMA, no comprehensive plan can preclude the siting of essential public facilities and each should include a process for siting essential public facilities. The GMA includes these provisions because siting certain public facilities has become difficult due to the impacts many of these facilities have on the community. Title 19 of the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), defines essential public facilities and provides a land use process for siting them. Essential p„blie F ilit es ;,,eWde those f4eil ties that are typi�fficult tO site, sueh as air-pv costate ofregional trr--ansspeftation systems, sei+eeti-enal f4eilities, and mental health f4eilities al LUG13 Ensure the City complies with legal mandates to allow the siting of Essential Public Facilities.

By doing so, these areas become more attractive for development. Consistent with the CWPPs, Federal Way proposes to use a tiered system for accommodating future growth. The primary purpose of this technique is to assure a logical sequence of growth outward from developed areas. The City can influence phasing by choosing where and when to make strategic capital facility investments. Revised 2QU 2015 1 II-36 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 63 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use Based on the phased growth eeneept eudined above, the City should develop eriter-ia for- a phasing plan over- the next iO a -ad 20 Phased growth will promote efficient use of land by: • Reducing taxpayers costs by locating new development nearest to existing urban services; • Adding predictability to service & and facility planning; • Reducing commuter miles and protecting air quality by locating housing and jobs near each other; • Encouraging in -fill and redevelopment where environmental impacts have already occurred; and • Reserving land for future parks and open space. Policies LUP60 Establish priority areas for public facility and service improvements, especially for transportation based on an adopted Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) and Transportation Improvement Pro rg am (TIP). Priority areas should be located where public facility and service improvements would effectively advance Federal Way's growth vision. Priority areas will shift over time as improvements are installed and an acceptable level of service is attained. LUP61 When and where service deficiencies are identified, the City, along with service providers, will develop capital improvement programs to remedy identified deficiencies in a timely fashion or will phase growth until such programs can be completed. LUP62 Work with King County through an interlocal agreement to assign phasing to the City's PAA. 2.14 12 1 INCENTIVES ,. o .blie benefit .,.,dle - , vA..ibu. e to the fa tig do ,.f gfewth ; etom Revised 2QU 2015 1 II-37 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 64 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Two, Land Use Incentives shall be used to direct development activity to desired locations, and to encourage the type and character of desired development.

Policies LUP64 63 Develop incentives to encourage desired development in commercial areas, especially in the City Center Core and Frame. LUP65 64 Consider incentives for desired es of multiple -family residential development (townhouses, duplexes, etc.). 2.4-2 13 1 HISTORIC RESOURCES Historic preservation involves the identification, maintenance, renovation, and reuse of buildings and sites important to a community's history. Buildings or sites may be associated with a particular style or period in the community's past, or with historic or significant historic events or persons. Historic preservation to date has largely been undertaken by the Historical Society of Federal Way. Historic preservation is listed as the 13' goal in the GMA which encourages jurisdictions to, "Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures, that have historical or archaeological significance." Goal LUGS 4-415 Use historic resources as an important element in the overall design of the City.

Subarea Plans Over the years, citizens from various areas of the City have come forth to testify before the Planning Commission and City Council regarding their neighborhood or business area. Development of subarea plans can lead to area specific visions and policies. This type of specific planning, developed with citizen input and direction, can lead to improved confidence and ownership in the community.

The new public facilities, trails, and roadway investments contribute toward a vibrant downtown that the City will continue to enhance. This Transportation Element will guide efforts to enhance mobility and safety for all modes of travel in Federal Wa, t� 2040. The process of providing a transportation system involves numerous agencies at the local, state, and national levels. The cycle of providing a system involves planning, change approval, funding, implementing, operating, maintenance, monitoring, and administering the elements of the system. Also, some of the transportation system is provided by other agencies, such as King City Metro Transit fMETRO,j Sound Transit, Pierce Transit, and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)-,., .

The Growth Management Act provides a framework for content and adoption of local comprehensive plans. The Growth Management Act provides 13 ,goals to be, "...used exclusively for the purpose of guidingdevelopment evelopment of comprehensive plans and development regulations." A number of the Growth Management Act goals pertain to transportation. They are as follows: • Transportation - Encourage efficient multi -modal transportation modes sy tems that is also eeffffnensurate are based on regional priorities and coordinated with their- -planned levels e ftHidi cog . and city comprehensive plans. • Open Space and Recreation — Retain open space, enhance recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks and recreational facilities. • Environment — Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality and the availability of water. • Public Facilities and Services — Ensure that those public facilities and services necessar t�pport development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. Regional Policies The Puget Sound Regional Council's VISION 2040 and the 2012 King County Countywide Policies, both required by the Growth Management Act, provide a regional framework to achieve the goals of the Growth Management Act. VISION 2040 is the long-range growth management, economic, and transportation strategy for the central Puget Sound region encompassing King Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) in 2008. VISION 2040's Transportation Strategy provides a framework for long-range transportation planning by emphasizingtransportation ransportation investments that offer greater mobility options, alternatives to driving alone, and lower transportation -related energy consumption. III-19 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 90 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 The 2012 King County Countywide Policies address changes to the Growth Management Act since its initial adoption in 1990 and reflect the regional direction established in VISION 2040. The countywide polices provide a framework for both King County and its respective cities, such as Federal Way. Adherence to these countywide policies ensures that city plans are consistent with one another. These policies address issues such as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing, provision of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly development. In addition, the King Cam. Countywide Policies call for minimizing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions through supporting mass transit, encouraging non -motorized modes of travel, and reducing trip lengths. Policies contained in this comprehensive plan have been prepared to implement VISION 2040 and the King County Countywide Policies as theygpply to the City. This chapter must be consistent with both VISION 2040 and the King County Countywide Policies. By plementing the goals in Section 3.3, the Transportation Chapter is consistent with VISION 2040 and the 2012 King C� Countywide Policies direction. 3.2 THE TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT Federal Way is primarily situated between Puget Sound and Interstate-5, see Map III-1 (Overview Map). State Route 99 (SR 99), a Highway of Statewide Significance, parallels 1-5 through the eastern part of the City. The connections of SR 18, a major east -west corridor and Highway of Statewide Significance, with SR 99, SR 161, and 1-5 are closely spaced within the City. These routes experience traffic congestion re ug larly. Traffic incidents occurring along these routes greatly impact transportation conditions for people traveling within the Ci , and connecting between Tacoma, Des Moines, Seattle, and communities to the east. In this regional context, the City coordinates its transportation planning with a variety of jurisdictions, including the State of Washington, Puget Sound Regional Council, King County, and neighboring communities. The City of Federal Way's existing transportation network accommodates many modes of travel, including walking, bicycling, public transit, and driving. In Federal Way, the predominant mode of travel is the private automobile, which will continue to plaaprincipal III-20 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 91 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation role in the City's transportation. However, shorter trip lengths are becoming more common and the total miles people are traveling in vehicles is declining. These two factors affect how people choose to travel, such as by walking, by bicycling, by transit, or by vehicle. To achieve City and regional goals, emphasis will be placed on providing intearated and balanced mobilitopportunities for all modes.

How Do People Travel? Travel patterns in the Federal Way planning area are shown on Map 111--2 (Travel Patterns from Residential Areas in the Federal Way Planning Area). Travel patterns generally follow the hierarchy of roadway people use neighborhood roads to connect to major collector and arterials. The regional facilities of I-5, SR 99, SR 18, SR 161, and Military Road are the predominant facilities used between Federal Way and neighboringcities. Travel to work in Federal Way is dominated by the sin l�pant vehicle(SOY), which accounts for roughly 75 percent of work trips within the City, according to the American Community Survey. About ten percent of work trips are made by carpoolers. Transit has seen a sianificant increase in commute trips since the 1990s, doubling to about seven percent of work trips. Biking and walking modes account for gpproximatel, three of work trips, while the remaining rive percent of work trips is comprised of telecommuters.

Travel Patterns from Residential Areas in the Federal Way Planning Area III-24 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 95 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 3.3 TRANSPORTATION VISION AND GOALS Goal 1 Policies It is proposed that the City adopt the following goals and policies with respect to transportation facility improvements that allow it to maintain options into the future, especially with respect to transit enhancements. This may result in a conservative approach to highway improvements that might slow the rate of progress in the area of non -drive alone mode use. TGl Maintain mobility through a safe, balanced, and integrated transportation system. TP1.1 Reduce reliance on drive alone trips by prioritizing and implementing supportive local -level transit, high occupancy vehicle (HOV), and non -motorized improvements. TP1.2 Develop a transportation system that achieves the following level of service (LOS) metrics: o Signalized Intersection outside of City Center will experience a 1.2 vehicle -to -capacity (v/c) ratio or lower o Unsignalized Intersection outside of City Center will experience a 1.0 vehicle-to-capaci , (v/c) ratio or lower o The City Center area will experience an average 1.1 vehicle -to -capacity (v/c) ratio or less. o Facility completeness as described in the following pedestrian, bicycling, and transit priority areas level of service tables. Pedestrian Priority Area Level of Service (LOS) LOS Within Pedestrian Priority Area Network Pedestrian facility as indicated in the Street Design Guidelines Provides a lower -level facility than recommended in the Street Design Guidelines No pedestrian facility provided III-25 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 96 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation LOS I Within Bicycle Priority Area Network Bicycle facility as indicted in Street Desiizn Guidelines Provides a lower -level facility than recommended in the Street Design Guidelines No bicycle facility provided Transit Priority Corridor Level of Service aOSI LOS—Measurement* Pedestrian Access (Optional) Quality of Service (Optional)+ AN • More than 80% of transit stops meet Sidewalks and pedestrian crossing All day frequent service; adequate parking at park -and -rides and amenity minimum provisions opportunities serving stops stations More than 60% of transit stops meet Sidewalks and pedestrian crossing Peak period service; insufficient parking at park -and -rides and amenity minimum provisions opportunities serving some stops stations • Less than 60% of transit stops meet General lack of sidewalks and pedestrian N/A amenity minimum provisions I crossing opportunities The Street Design Guidelines are provided in Appendix III -A. *Amenities include bus stop shelter, bench, flag post, and/or concrete waiting area; these amenities are determined based on the number of people using a transit stop as defined by a transit agency. +Consider the adequacy of parking provided at park -and -rides and transit stations TP1.3 Identify the improvements and strategies needed to fully implement the City's Layered Network and meet the level -of - service requirements for transportation. TP1.4 Allow improvements to vehicle throughput only where they enhance traffic and pedestrian safety, improve high capacity transit and HOV facilities, or reduce air pollution. TP1.5 Enhance mobility using the existing footprint of the roadway and technological advancements. When widening roadways, impacts to non -motorized users and transit vehicles and passengers should be minimized. TP1.6 Employ traffic calming measures in neighborhoods through context sensitive design where traffic volumes and speeds consistently exceed reasonable levels and as set forth in the adopted Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program. TP1.7 Improve safety on residential streets by; o Reducing street widths while maintaining on -street amklne. Revised 2003 III-26 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 97 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 o Increasing separation between sidewalks and streets. Eo Reducing design speeds to discourage speeding. o Limiting the length of straight streets to discourage speeding o Other actions approved by Public Works. TP1.8 Use Access Management improvements to reduce crash rates and extend capacity of major arterials. TP1.9 Public Works will develop incident response timing121ans for major arterials.

Roadway crash rates are heavily depen et# e elated to the spacing of turning conflicts. B reducing the number of driveways and turning movements through shared access to multiple parcels, and restricting movements in congested areas, the safety and efficiency of the Citv's streets can be maintained. This improvement also reduces the number of conflict zones for all vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. Access is one of the major factors influencing functional classification. Generally, higher classifications (interstates or freeways) serve a limited access function, while lower classifications (local roads, cul-de-sac streets) serve a local access function. The State of Washington approved legislation requiring that access onto state facilities be granted by permit and that such access conform to an access management classification system (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 47.50). The WSDOT put into place two administrative codes. The first identifies the administrative process (including permit fees for issuing access permits on state facilities), and the second defines the access classification system A summary of the access classifications from WAC 468.52 is provided in Table III- , , and tlaffip--' volu es.

The primary purpose of access management is to improve safety: therefore. higher access classifications are triggered either by crash rates or lane configurations that are less safe at higher volumes. Similarly; access spacing standards are the most restrictive for turning movements with the highestpotential for crashes. Map 111--5 (WSDOT Access Management III-62 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 133 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Classification on State Highways) indicates WSDOT's access classification on state highways in Federal WaE.

These access standards would be implemented as part of review of land development as an element of street improvement projects, and to ameliorate locations with high crash rates as a part of traffic safety maintenance.

I e.,el n f ce..,:ee ( OS) Street Standards As the transportation system evolves. Deriodic review of the Federal Wa Comprehensive Plan, changes to the subdivision code, and street standards are necessary. Street standards within city code convey the vision of the Comprehensive Plan in greater detail. Similar to the classification map, they guide the development process activities. For example, components of the subdivision code can require certain types of street standards (e.g. widths, parking, etc.) to support designated transit compatible development. Street design standards show preferred cross sections for each arterial and street segment in the City. Man III-7 (Existing and Planned Traffic Signals) shows the locations of signalized intersections in Federal Wad Currently, signals are maintained and operated by the City under a contract with King County. The ability to coordinate signals and update signal timing plans throughout Federal Way is important to achieve the maximum operating efficiency (move the greatest number of people, freight, and goods) of roadways. Currently, traffic signal timing121ans can be adjusted from the traffic control center for most intersections in the city. III-66 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 137 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Traffic Volumes Map 111--8 (2014 Trae(fic Volumes) shows the average weekday traffic volumes on selected arterials. Major arterials such as SR 99, SR161, 348th Street, 320th Street, and access points to I-5 carry the most vehicles in the City. Federal Way's busiest arterial, SR 18 between 16th Avenue and the northbound on -ramp of 1-5, carries more than 68,000 Map III-7.

Lnaddition, several segments on SR 99 and the segment between SR 99 and I-5 on South 320th Street, carry between 35,000 and 45,000 vehicles per day_ According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), annual vehicle miles travelled (VMT) peaked in year 2007 with a total of over 3 trillion vehicle miles traveled nationwide. Since then, annual vehicle miles travelled has exhibited a downward trend. This downward trend is the result of a number of factors including the "Millennial" generation seemingly be less inclined to drive or own automobiles, higher costs of automobile ownership, healthier lifestyle choices, mixed -use and compact development, and more. Also, the number of people who choose alternative transport modes such as transit, walking o�ycling over driving is increasing. These trends, if continued, will have an impact on the development of future projections for the way people could choose to travel necessary to plan for the future. High -Occupancy Vehicle Facilities High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) facilities are typically roadway lanes dedicated to vehicles with two or more people per vehicle and include motorcycles. HOV facilities are viewed at the regional, state, and federal levels as essential to meet public travel demand needs because they are capable of moving more people than general purpose travel lanes. Also, HOV facilities provide vital accessibility to developing urban centers in the Puget Sound Region. HOV lanes are provided on I-5 within Federal Way. Locally, the objective of providing HOV lanes in Federal Wad improve traffic safety and circulation, and support the use of transit, carpools, and right -turn movements. HOV lanes are provided on 348th S 320th Street Looking East FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Street, SR 99, and on 320th Street.

They are typically larger intersections with high vehicle demand and have longer crossing times for pedestrians. Congested intersections in Federal Way are located predominately, in the City Center area and along SR 99. East/west routes that experience high levels of vehicle demand include South 320th Street and Campus Drive/South 348th Street. To determine where intersection deficiencies exist today, the existing traffic volumes and roadway network is compared to the level of service policy (TP 1.2), which defines the volume -to -capacity ratios at signalized and unsignalized intersections in the city. Map III-9 (2014 Weekday PM Peak Congested Streets and Intersection) illustrates the results of this analysis.

Non -Motorized The Ci . developed a stand-alone Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, adopted in March 2012, which establishes a vision for a connected network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout Federal Way. The Plan sets an important foundation to continue the city's success in securing transportation project and program funding. It also establishes an overview of the current status of walking and biking facilities, including barriers and opportunities, and gauges citizen opinion about walking and biking preferences. The City's overall goal is to set the stage for the city's long-term vision of a safe, accessible, and connected bicycle and pedestrian network. The Bicycling and Walking goals will wide the city as it moves forward with plan implementation and include: III-73 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 144 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Map III-9.2014 Weekday PM Peak Congested Streets and Intersections Revised 2003 III-74 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 145 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 • Bicycle and Pedestrian Network and Support Facilities, • Safety, Security, and Equity • Transportation and Land Use; • Education and Awareness; • Maintenance and Operations. The Plan is consistent with state policies such as the Growth Management Act (GMA) and the Safe Routes to School program. Additionally, the development of the Plan is crucial for the city to position itself favorably in the competitive transportation funding program. In the process of developing the Plan, the city coordinated with two regional agencies - PSRC and King_County. The existing built environment of Federal Way is characterized bX conventional suburban style development featuring curvilinear streets, cul-de-sacs, and limited through -street connections. This lack of connectivily poses a challenge in developing a safe and convenient network of bicycling and pedestrian facilities. Bicycle Conditions Currently, there are approximately 27 miles of bicycle facilities in Federal Way summarized in Map III-10 (Existing Bicycle Facilities which are all either paved trails, bike lanes, or wide shoulders. These facilities consist of the shared -use Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Trail, bike lanes, and wide shoulders. A challenge in the city is that mmy potential cyclists do not feel comfortable riding on or crossing high -volume, high-speed roadways, such as SR 99. III-75 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 146 of 804 Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Trail Midblock Pedestrian Crossing on SW 356th Street FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Map III-10. Existing Bicycle Facilities Revised 2003 III-76 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 147 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Pedestrian Conditions Most of the city's 247 miles of pedestrian facilities are sidewalks. Other facilities include the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)Trail and recreational trails through park facilities as illustrated in Map III-11 (Existing Pedestrian Facilities). While most of the arterial roadways have sidewalk facilities, some residential and minor roadway, not have facilities. Federal Wadpedestrian network provides a greater level of connectivity to retail centers than the current bicycle network, although many residents do not find walking to retail centers a pleasant experience due to the high volume and high speeds of traffic on arterial corridors. Also, the State of Washington permits the use of sidewalks by bicyclists unless prohibited in the City. Currently, Federal Way has restrictions for bicycles on sidewalks in the City Center area. Public Input and Preferences Public input was considered in the development of the proposed bicycle and pedestrian facility networks and also informed the development of goals and objectives. The following results were collected: • When trips are less than one mile, residents are more likely to walk. • People are more apt to bike than walk if a trip is between one and five miles. • Most residents will drive once trips exceed one mile. • People who walk in general do so more frequently than those who bike. • Most people walk or bike for exercise, followed by shopping or errands for walkers and work commute for cyclists. • The lack of facilities and/or their condition are the primary detractors for people walking and biking more.

King County METRO serves the City directly, while Pierce Transit buses provide connections from the Park and Ride lot on I-5 at South 320th and Federal Way Transit Center to Tacoma and Puyallup. Sound Transit serves the Federal Way and Star Lake Park and Ride lots with regional express buses between SeaTac and Tacoma, and between Federal Way and Be'�_—Puyallup and a feeder route from Northeast Tacoma. Amenities supporting transit patronage include Park and Ride lots and waiting -area shelters. The Federal Way School District and King County's Multi -Service Center also provide special, local area bus services. Locally and nationally, public transit services, ranging from local buses to regional rail, are witnessing increased attention. Despite declining transit ridership in the late 1980s and early 90s, these services are being viewed at the regional, state, and federal levels as essential to meet public travel needs. Many people with low incomes or special mobility needs depend oft transit. The City of Fedefal Way suppei4s the p III-114 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 185 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Map III-11. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Revised 2003 III-115 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 186 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Federal Way Transit Center needs depend on transit. The City of Federal Way supports the provision of viable transit services as a component in a multimodal transportation system. Coupled with ear- peei-ngcarpooling and van pooling, improved transit service is viewed by the City of Federal Way as essential to providing area residents with mobility options in the future. Unlike road services however, the City is constrained by state law and federal regulations in its ability to provide these alternatives. The City's involvement with the provision of transit services is indirect —through such efforts as supportive land use planning (to generate sufficient transit patronage) and roadway design features (to accommodate transit and other high occupancy vehicles). The City's planning process has focused on development of a transit -supportive environment, including improved pedestrian and bicycle access to transit. Public Works projects anticipate enhanced regular route, local bus service, and the pessiblefuture implementation of a regional light rail system. Revised 2003 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 187 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Expansion of regional transit and HOV systems is critical to the achievement of Vision 2O92040, which guides the regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Federal Way's vision, which includes a City Center with surrounding commercial and residential land uses, is enhanced by both an improved regional bus system and a rail system. Local circulation routes will also be essential. The Federal Way plan has been structured with primary emphasis on locations that can become transit centers. In the interim, transit centers will be focused at Park and Ride lots. Akp,W 20 indie4es Feder -a! Way's existing regular-, e*-pr-ess, and A Ride „ e 1,,..a4ie,,s as well as its „ark .,,-.,1 ride lot 1,,,.ations a 1 planned bus routes. In Federal Way there are 24 regular and express service routes that provide nearly 250 bus trips to, within, and through Federal Way each day. In total, about 3,000 to 3,500 person trips are made by regular, express, and Dial -A -Ride service each day. About one percent of all daily (and three percent of peak hour) Federal Way trips are made by transit, which is comparable to other suburban areas. The majority of service is provided to park and ride facilities where more than half of Federal Way's transit riders access transit. Routes into the neighborhoods of the City are oriented to the higher density areas where there is lower auto ownership and greater reliance on transit. Under a demonstration project, METRO instituted Dial -A -Ride Transit (DART) service to portions of the City in 1992. Today, DART service follows a semi -fixed routing with service provided to patrons who do not live or work on fixed routes.

Historic, radial expansion of the system from the downtown is one reason for this. More significant is that density, congestion, and parking costs have kept transit competitive in the downtown Seattle market. • . .�arstr .. _ ................ IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII . . . . . . . . Revised 2003 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 189 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation While transit routes exist within Federal Way neighborhoods, the existing street layout, with its many cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets, is not always conducive to transit use. Buses cannot run along every residential street. They usually operate on collector and arterial streets, thus residents often have to walk several blocks to reach a route. Research has shown that when potential patrons have to walk over three miles, many will not use transit. Because of the distance between residences and bus stops, and frequent express -type service to Park and Ride lots, many transit users travel to the three Federal Way lots near I-5. However, these lots are nearly always at capacity. Efforts to expand their capacity by both METRO and WSDOT have been hampered by the relatively high cost of land to provide for expansion. Despite high , WSDOTreeex4ly constructed a new 600-space Park and Ride lot at 21st SW at SW 344th Street, and Metro plans to eenstfuetconstructed another Park and Ride lot at Pacific Highway South and South 276th Street. Sound Transit i-s prepesiagconstructin a City Center Transit Center with an up to 1200a 1,200 stall parking structure, connecting to an HOV direct access ramp to I--5 via South -3-�317th Street. In considering future land use and transportation alternatives for the City, a balance must be sought between creating transit compatible land uses and providing system access from park and ride facilities and stations. Revised 2003 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 190 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Regional Transit System In November 1996, voters within areas of King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties approved funding for a Regional Transit System including light rail, commuter rail, and regional express bus services. Vision 2040 and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan "Destination 2030" adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council, and the Countywide Planning Policies for King County call for a high capacity transit (HCT) system linking urban centers and supported by other travel modes. High -capacity transit is defined as various types of transit systems operating on an enhanced facility_(such as fixed . i,.0 deway, dedicated right-of-waypriority lane, or freeway/express facility)) that is designed to carry a large number of riders at higher speeds than conventional transit. HCT may include a mix of commuter rail, light rail, express bus services and facilities and/or other high capacity transit technologies, plus other associated transit improvements that tie local/regional transit services to each other and to other travel centers. Today, King City Metro's RapidRide A -line provides frequent bus service between Tukwila International Boulevard Station and the Federal Way Transit Center generally along International Boulevard and Pacific Highway (SR 99). The City worked closely with Metro on the development of supportive capital infrastructure such as transit lanes, transit signal priority, and stations. Federal Way is also coordinating with Sound Transit in the development of high capacity transit alternatives to extend the regional light system south from the city of SeaTac to Federal Way and eventually Tacoma. The Federal Way Link Extension project will extend light rail from an Angle Lake Station at South 200th Street in SeaTac to Kent/Des Moines by 2023. The planning and environmental process will develop a shovel -ready plan for extending light rail to the Federal Way Transit Center as additional funding is secured. Implementin the he regional transit system will require an array of city efforts in the coming decades. Priorities include city participation in detailed system design, preservation of right-of-way, and station area planning along with other needs to be identified as the s, s e progresses. Dial -a -Ride Transit (DART) Revised 2003 III-120 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 191 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 As noted above, this service was introduced by METRO in 1992-and Fes. Dial -A -Ride service is demand activated by the users. Users originally phoned in and van service was provided within two hours. Unlike regular route service, only the area being served was defined, not the routes. The service Dial -a -Ride Transit (DART) has since been modified to operate with semi -fixed routes, which due in part to greater schedule reliability, has dramatically increased ridership. Should ridership continue to improve, regular fixed route service may soon be attainable. Paratransit Service In addition to the service program for general-purpose travel, METRO has embarked on a significant program to improve services for persons who cannot use regular route bus service. This program has been developed to meet the requirements of the Americans �x�with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. It provides high quality public transportation service to eligible customers. People with limited resources who are either 65 or older or who have disabilities may qualify for Paratransit. Called ACCESS Transportation, Paratransit service currently provides door-to-door transportation Monday through Friday for- Zits. Monthly and annual pass stickers are available as well. Key elements to METRO's Paratransit Plan are the provision of. • Supplemental service in Western King County within 4-2- fniles3/4 of a mile on either side of regular route service; • Next -day reservations up to 14 days in advance, with trips scheduled seven days a week; • Fares held to the same level as one -zone regular bus fares; and III-121 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 192 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Scheduled service to be the same as the near -by, regular routes. sm •. ..

These efforts are coordinated with the City of Federal Way Truck Route Plan as illustrated in Map III-12 (Gifu of Federal Way Truck Route Plan), which depicts existing and proposed truck routes. Transportation System Management (TSM) Transportation Systems Management (TSM) focuses on maximizing use of the existing systems travel capacity. The concept was first originated in the mid-1970s by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Since that time, it has been applied by a host of different ways in cities and metropolitan areas around the country. More recently the 1991 Federal Transportation Act (ISTEA) expanded the vision of Transportation System Management introducing the term Congestion Management Systems. The focus of Transportation System Management is to identify ways to manage the transportation systemusually streets and highways, from a local agency_ perspective) to maximize the carrying capacity of existing facilities. Transportation System Management activities can include new construction, but they typically modify an existingfacility. acility. These activities can be grouped into the following categories: • Geometric Improvements Revised 2003 III-141 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 212 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation • Access Managment • Signalization Improvements • Capacity Enhancements Revised 2003 III-142 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 213 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Not all Transportation and System Management (TSM) strategies are gppropriate for a city to undertake.

III-143 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 214 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Directed by WSDOT, it established a framework for implementation of a variety of projects. Appendix III-B (Transportation System Mana em�ent Summaries), Table B-1 summarizes the main categories of Intelligent Traveler System applications, their relative applicability in Federal Way,. and the degree of impact each might have on the City's vision and plan. Transportation Demand Manaclement (TDM) Transportation demand management (TDM) refers to activities that help people use the transportation system more efficiently. The Puget Sound Regional Council's VISION 2040 requires the identification of transportation system management and demand management programs and strategies. Appendix III-B, Table B-2 summarizes the various transportation demand management alternatives by their functional grouping and potential effectiveness, implementation difficulties, and expected cost effectiveness. Fortunately, several of the more effective options are within the purview of the City. While many of these transportation demand management strategies will need to be implemented and managed by the private sector, Federal Way can provide the infrastructure needed to support such strategies, such as transit and HOV lanes and expanded bicycle and pedestrian networks. PSRC's Vision 2040 identified basic strategies that overlap with those presented in Appendix III-B. These strategies include: • Telecommuting Programs • Parking Management and Pricing • Flexible Work • Shuttle Services • Ridesharing Programs • Traveler Information, Public Relations, and Marketing Commute Trip Reduction Federal Way is required by the State to provide a Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan. This plan applies to employers with more than 100 employees. It provides a framework for reducing the proportions of drive alone commute trips and vehicle miles traveled per employee bX affected employers in the City's jurisdiction, major employment installations, and other areas designated by the City with local major employers to customize strategies and programs to most effectively reduce the number of drive -alone trips employees make. III-144 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 215 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Federal Way currently has 11 worksites affected by the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law.

This chapter describes Federal Way's vision for its future transportation network and the infrastructure improvements that will get the City there. As identified in this elan. most of the improvements are focused on the development of a `layered' transportation network, which focuses less on providing vehicular capacity and more on accommodating all modes of travel. While some of the roadway iinprovements are needed to meet the City's vehicular level of service (LOS) standard, many of the future improvements could focus on providing safer and more complete III-145 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 216 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation facilities for walking, bicycling, and riding transit in order to improve access and mobility for all road users. This section provides a summary of the layered network, a system for prioritizing modal travel by corridor; the process for predicting future travel demand; how level of service, a measurement of the adequacy facility, is evaluated for all modes; and the process employed to prioritize projects. Introduction to the Layered Network It can be a challenge for a single roadway to meet the demands and expectations of all modes at any given time. This is also general not desirable from a user or a planning perspective. In response to this challenge, the City of Federal Way has adopted a layered network approach that focuses on how the City's transportation network can function as a system to meet the needs of all users. In such a system, individual travel modes are prioritized on different facilities throughout the overall network. Figure III-2 illustrates the concept of a layered network. The Ci , will implement this layered network through a system of roadway cross -sections that define each street's user priorities and associated infrastructure needs, see Appendix III -A (Street Design Standards). The City also coordinates recommendations from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan with roadway Revised 2003 Figure III-2. Layered Network Concept III-146 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 217 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 projects. Future Travel Travel can be described in terms of the puMose of the trip and the trip beginning and end points. Federal Way exhibits a wide variety of travel poses. Trips cover all modes of travel such as walking, bicycling, driving, and taking transit. To help predict future travel, transportation professionals develop models that are typically city specific, but coordinated with the regional vision and model. The models were used to estimate existing -and future traffic volumes within the Federal Way planning area. The model can also be used to estimate demands for various modes of travel, including auto. caMool, and transit. There is a fairly consistent relationship between the number of trips produced each day and the density of residential dwelling units. Depending on the density of the area and other factors, it is possible to forecast the total number of trips produced in an area. In a similar fashion, employment densities can be used to forecast person trips attracted to an area. Each parcel of land generates traffic based on its t e of use and intensity of development. The evening peak hour is a modeling standard, since it usually is when the highest demand occurs. The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that the Transportation Element supports the land uses envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, an important component of the work was forecasting how the future land uses envisioned in the City, as well as regional growth, would influence demand on Federal Way's transportation network. The following is a description of the travel demand modeling process: • The Modeling Tool: As a part of the update, Federal Way created a city -focused travel model adapted from the latest version of the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC, Trip - Based Travel Model. This model forecasted traffic volumes during the evening commute hour (highest volume hour between 4pm and 612m) along many of Federal Way s key streets and intersections. This tool provides a reasonable foundation developing year 2019 and 2040 forecasts, as the underlying land use assumptions have been updated to match the land use forecasts for the current Comprehensive Plan. III-147 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 218 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation • Estimate Land Use Growth in the City: As a part of the Comprehensive Plan update, the City is planningfor or expected growth in housing units and employment over the next 25 years through 2040. Based on growth estimates from PSRC and review by City staff, Federal Way is preparing for almost 44,000 housing units, more than 106,000 people and almost 50,000 workers (including the planning analysis area) by 2040. The City then allocates the growth throughout Federal Way based on adopted zoning, observed development patterns, and other citypolicies. • Capture Regional Growth Patterns: Other communities throughout the region are goingthrou this very same process, based on direction from PSRC. Because travel does not stop at a jurisdiction's borders, it is important to capture how regional growth could influence travel patterns on Federal Way's streets. One of the primary advantages of basing the Federal Way model on the PSRC Trip -Based Travel Model is that all regional growth assumptions are naturally consistent with PSRC estimates. • Translating Land Uses into Trips: The next step is evaluating how the Ci . and regional growth assumptions described above translate into walking, transit, and auto trips. The travel model represents the number of housing units and employees spatial units called traffic analysis zones (TAZs,). Traffic analysis zones can be as small as a few street blocks to as large as an entire neighborhood. They provide a simplified means to represent trip making rather than modeling individual parcels. The travel model estimates trips generated from each traffic analysis zones (both inside and outside of the City,) using established relationships between different land use types with trip making. These trips are then assigned onto the roadway network to estimate how much traffic would be on each street during the evening commute hour. • Model Refinements: The final step is refining the forecasts based on reality checks that the travel model may not capture. In this case, travel patterns were refined to reflect existing driver preferences, including recognizing the relative attractiveness of principal and minor arterials over minor collector and local residential streets with significant traffic calming features. Revised 2003 III-148 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 219 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Transportation Level of Service Transportation level of service (LOS,) is a qualitative measure used to evaluate the quality of public infrastructure. Cities have historically measured transportation level of service based on the experience of drivers, in terms of vehicle speed, traffic density, or how long vehicles wait at an intersection. As shown in the Figure III-3 from Planning Urban Roadway Systems (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2011), transportation level of service does not have to be limited to the experience of just vehicles. This Transportation Element considers the transportation level (quality) of service for walking biking, and taking transit in Federal Way. Refer to Appendix X-C (Concurrency Management System) for additional information. Automobile Level of Service *+No delay at intersections.

Project Prioritization is part of the process associated with implementing projects in the order most needed. Because the total estimated cost of all Revised 2003 III-149 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 220 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 identified network improvements is substantial, it is unrealistic to expect that all of the improvements will be implemented in the near term. Therefore, it is important to establish a strategy for moving forward. The project prioritization process is a tactical effort to determine the sequence of events to meet strategic goals, as summarized in the Transportation Improvement Program(TIP). To assist city staff, elected officials, and citizens in making potentially difficult near -term decisions, this plan uses a modal focus to evaluate project prioritization and then links each project back to Federal Way's transportation goals. The process for prioritization is described below: Project Prioritization Step One: Layered Network All projects are considered as part of the layered network and ranked. This reduces double -counting for level of service improvements and for meeting concurrency, and ensures that the appropriate project modal elements are being considered. The equally -weighted project prioritization measures used to prioritize projects are summarized as follows: • Concurrency Requirement: the project is needed to maintain the proposed multimodal level of service and/or concurrency. Projects that provide improvements for more than one mode would receive higher scores. This includes projects along walking, bicycling, and transit priority areas, and improving roadway conditions. • Level of Service Improvement: the project reduces vehicle delay or enhances the quality of the facility (modal specific) based on the adopted level of service standards. Projects that provide the improvements described in the street standard guidelines would receive higher scores. • Safe!, : the project enhances a safety concern. Projects that enhance safety would receive higher scores. • Severity: the project enhances a safety concern with a histo1y of severe collisions. Locations with severe or increased severity collisions would receive higher scores. • System Efficiency: the project includes transportation system management elements, including those described in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)plan. Projects that improve the travel of non -drive -alone trips, including transit, would receive higher scores. III-150 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 221 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation • Ease of Implementation: the project is evaluated using engineeringjudgment to consider the likely scope elements of the project, such as right-of-way acquisition, overall project cost, and sensitive areas impacts. Projects that are easier to implement or have multi jurisdictional support would receive higher scores. • Community Support: the project has been identified as having community support. Projects that exhibit positive community support would achieve higher scores. • Freight: the project would have an impact on an identified freight route. Projects that enhance freight travel would receive higher scores. Step Two: Achieving Goals After each ranked project list is created, projects are evaluated b, thei relationship to the six overarchingtransportation ransportation goals based on a weighting completed by City staff. Projects that meet more goals would achieve higher scores. Project Prioritization Step Three: Cost / Benefit A cost / benefit weighting is used to related how well a project performs as part of the layered network and achieves the citywide transportation goals related to the anticipated cost to Federal Way of the project. Projects with a good benefit/cost ratio would receive higher scores. Process for Modal Intecirafion The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan provides the framework for the walking and bicycling sections and were considered in developing the Transportation Improvement Plan (near -term,) and Capital Improvement Program (long- term). To refine the project prioritization, it is recommended that the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Trail "Priority Route" selection criteria be employed. The Priority Route selection criteria would assist in determining the routes with the most need and/or potential benefit of walkingoyclin facility Revised 2003 III-151 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 222 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 improvement. These "Priority Routes" are also used as part of the multimodal level of service. The following criteria for identifying priority walking and bicycling routes were proposed in the Bicycling and Pedestrian Master Plan: • Suitable for bicycling/walking without improvements • Closes critical gap • Provides/enhances Safe Route to School connection • Collision locations Service immediate safetv need • Serves key origins and destinations • Geog_raphic Distribution • Right -of -Way Available and/or Suitable • Interface with other transportation modes Modal Networks The transportation vision for Federal Way is a multi -modal, inte rg ated transportation system where the focus is on user choice and safety, system needs and future projects are best understood at the modal level. This section summarizes the future transportation vision and establishes multimodal level of service standards and concurrence framework for roadways, walking, bicycling, and transit. During the prioritization process, projects were identified that contained multi -modal elements. Street and Highway System Nearly every street in Federal Way's roadway network is used by residents and workers at some point each day to access their homes, jobs, and other destinations. Many of these streets are local streets and do not see significant traffic volumes throughout the day. Similarly, goods movement and delivery vehicles use some corridors frequently while other streets see only the occasional local delivery. Urban areas, such as Federal Way's Cijy Center, benefit from level of service policies that offer flexibility to balance the level of vehicle congestion with pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access. Also, the level of congestion experienced in Federal Way is greatly impacted by State facilities. The level of service policy_ proposed for the Street and Highway System recognizes this impact to local congestion by adopting an area -wide level of service standard. See Appendix 111-D (Transportation System Management) for additional information. III-152 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 223 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation To address future roadway needs, Federal Way has adopted the following level of service policy that sets the following standards for the street and highway system: • Signalized intersections outside of City Center will experience a 1.2 vehicle-to-capaci . (v/c) ratio or lower • Unsignalized intersections outside of City Center will experience a 1.0 vehicle -to -capacity (v/c) ratio or lower • The City Center area will experience an average of 1.1 vehicle - to -capacity (v/c) ratio or less. The above standards were used to develop the future roadway improvements, which have been incorporated into the 01y's Street Design Guidelines (see Appendix III -A). The proposed cross-section for each of Federal Way's streets and types of motorized and non -motorized space improvements are provided. These cross -sections will guide future investments in streetscape and layered network objectives. Future State Actions The Ci , 's transportation plan is in compliance with the WSDOT's direction and vision. The transportation plan for Federal Way relies on the State in the following action areas: • HOV system completion on I-5 and other freeways. • Implementation of the State System Plan. This plan identifies in priority order, the need for maintenance, preservation, safety. economic initiatives, environmental retrofit, and mobility capacilb l improvements. The latter may not be fully funded and may therefore affect the implementation of the following WSDOT proiects: •o HOV access improvements, primarily I-5 medians. •o Interchange improvements for I-5 from SR 18 to SR 161. •o SR 509 extension from Burien along the western and southern sections of SeaTac Airport south to I-5. o The SR 509 extension north from Tacoma to the new SR 167 connection on I-5 at Fife. • Continued improvements to monitoring with possible provision of information systems regarding travel conditions. • Right-of-way acquisition for rail and the above improvements before construction. Revised 2003 III-153 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 224 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Traffic Safety • The addition of nark and ride lots and added capacity for existing • SR 18 improvements east of SR 99. • Advanced vehicle identification (AVID on SR 99 to provide transit priority. Map 111-13 illustrates roadway locations that do not meet Federal Way's level of service polio When considering transportation improvements, enhancements to traffic safety must be considered. Collision information for the past five ,years is reviewed for intersections and street segments to determine areas that could benefit from safety enhancements. These safety_ issues can be addressed by implementing the following measures: • Identify high collision locations on an annual basis, and identify projects to enhance safety at these locations. • Implement access management measures to reduce turning conflicts in high collision corridors. • Enforce intersection sight distance standards to remove vision obstructions on the corners of intersections and at driveways. • Where supported in residential areas, install traffic calming measures. • Educate the public through project open houses and press releases on safety benefits of transportation projects. • Increase enforcement of traffic laws, particularly laws pertaining to behaviors that cause the most severe and highest frequency of crashes.

The following is a summary of and envisioned future mode split targets for commute trips within Federal Way's Cjj, Center RGC. • SOV — 70% • HOV — 13% • Walk and Bike — 4% • Transit — 13% The non-SOV mode shares reflect the City's goal of accommodating travel by all modes and prioritizingtransportation ransportation investments within the RGC. These mode share goals also informed the travel modeling performed for this plan to ensure that transportation infrastructure investments align with forecasted travel demand. High -Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) HOV enhancements within the Federal Way planning area will consist of signal priority treatments, exclusive lanes, increased nark and ride o portunities, and other improvements to be identified as demand increases. These latter improvements can include separate (preferential) access lanes or roadways. This means utilizing HOV lanes on highways and arterial streets wherever practical, if transit and car pool movements can be enhanced, and optimizing the occupancy rate to move the most people possible. As part of the Bicycling and Walking Master Plan several anal corridors were developed based on previously proposed facilities, public input, and staff input. The analysis assessed appropriate treatments and preferred bicycle facility Wes along city roadways. The analysis identified opportunities to incorporate bike lanes into certain existing roadways, but found that there are few opportunities to retrofit roadways to include bicycle lanes. A multi -modal level of service (MMLOS) analysis was conducted to examine the link and intersection conditions alongexisting xisting roadways. This analysis helped stakeholders and city staff make decisions based on III-155 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 226 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation how roadway configurations affect all users. The results suggest that while the levels of service vary throughout the city, streets at locations with high traffic volumes, higher traffic speeds, and little separation between pedestrians/cyclists and vehicles scored relatively poorly_ In addition, a potential for walking and biking analysis was conducted based on land use characteristics, density of development, and access to transit. The results suggest that the City Center and the Twin Lakes Commercial District Subarea and their surrounding areas have the greatest potential for active transportation. Improved walking and biking conditions will improve transportation choices, safety, and mobility for citizens who do not have access to a car. It may also have an overall benefit to residents' health. Priority Walking and Bicycling Areas Walking Revised 2003 The priority walking and bicycling areas were developed using a potential for active transportation analysis. This includes any method of travel that is human -powered, but most commonly refers to walking and bicycling The potential for active transportation is commonly measured by considering land use characteristics, density of development, and access to transit. A "heat map" was created by allocating points using the criteria: school, live, work, shop, play, equity and transit. Map 111-14 (Priority Walking and Bicycling Areas) will be used for determining where investments in bicycling and pedestrian facilities will likely result in the greatest increase in active transportation in Federal Way. Areas that have the greatest potential for active transportation include the City Center and the Twin Lakes Commercial District Subarea and their surrounding areas. Additionally, investment in bicycle and pedestrian facilities in these areas can support economic development by making these areas more attractive to pedestrians and bicyclists and complementary to mixed use infill development. These "Priority Areas" are also used as part of the multimodal level of service. Pedestrian facilities proposed are largely new sidewalk sections. The location of the proposed new sidewalk sections was largely influenced by information the Federal Way School District maintains on recommended walking routes to elementary schools and priority walking and bicycling areas. During citizen engagement, manypeople commented on the desire to have more sidewalks in their neighborhood specifically related to III-156 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 227 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 access to neighborhood schools. Establishing safe and convenient walking routes enables more children to walk to school which improves student health and potentially saves the School District transportation costs where bus routes can sometimes be reduced when safety deficiencies are corrected. A more complete pedestrian network also can support Federal Way's business centers. With better sidewalk connections, residents who live close to business centers may choose to make more trips by foot. Once a person gets in a car, it is easier to decide to drive far away for that cup of coffee or small errand. Making it easier and more pleasant to walk encourages more localized shopping decisions in a community and supports economic development. Building on the Walking and BicyclingPriority Areas (see Map III-14), Table III-5 (Pedestrian Priority Area Level of Services) establishes the level of service standard for pedestrian facilities around the City. The best level of service for walking, indicated in the green row, would provide the proposed facilities exactly as shown, or with greater Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon separation, in the Street Design Guidelines L4ppendix III -A . The , elm level of service, which meets the basic needs for safe walking around the City, requires sidewalks or shoulders protected by raised curbs on one side of all the streets called out along Pedestrian Priority Areas. Incomplete or missing pedestrian facilities along Pedestrian Priority Areas would fall into the red category and not satisfy the City's level of service for walking. In addition to the presence of pedestrian facilities along a corridor, the City also emphasizes the importance of safe pedestrian crossings. Particularly downtown, at busier transit stops, and within half -mile of schools, the City is looking to provide enhanced crossings regular intervals. The city has installed Rectangular ar Rapid Flashing Beacons III-157 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 228 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation (RRFBs) at midblock locations to improve pedestrian crossing throughout the city.

Where possible, bike lanes are proposed, but these popular solutions are limited in Federal Way where there are few cross-town connections and lots of competition for pavement width with virtually all motor vehicle traffic being necessarily funneled into these few corridors.

The best level of service for bicycling, indicated in the green row, would provide the proposed facilities exactly as shown, or with greater separation, in the Street Design Guidelines (Appendix III -A). The yellow level of service requires some sort of bicycle infrastructure on streets called out along Bich P,g riority Areas. At a minimum, these facilities would be signed bike routes. Incomplete or missing bicycle facilities along Bicycling Priority Areas would fall into the red category and not satisfy the Cites level of service for bicycling. Table III-6. Bicycle Priority Area Level of Service (LOS) LOS Within Bicycle Priority Areas Net Bicycle facility as indicted in the Street Design Guidelines Provides a lower -level facility than recommended in the Street Design Guidelines No bicycle facility provided Pr Facility Networks Maps III-1 S and III-16 summarize the future bicycle and pedestrian facilities, respectively. The following pedestrian and bicycle facility types are proposed. • Bike Boulevard (also called Greenways): Low -volume and low -speed ( ically residential) streets that have been optimized for bicycle travel. Bicycle Boulevard treatments can be applied at several different intensities. • Shared Use Path/Trail: Shared Use Paths: These provide a desirable facility, particularly for novice riders, recreational trips, and cyclists of all skill levels preferring separation from traffic. Shared use paths generally provide new travel opportunities. • Shared Lane Marking: Also called "sharrows", shared lane markings are pavement markings used to indicate shared space for bicyclists and motorist on low volume streets that do not have room for bike lanes. III-160 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 231 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 • Wide Shoulder: Typically found in less -dense areas, shoulder zones are paved roadways with striped shoulders wide enough for pedestrian and bicycle travel. • Bike Lane: Marked space along a length of roadway designated with paint for the exclusive use by bicyclists. If there is space available, some bike lanes can be buffered with a wider (a minimum 2-foot) pavement marking_ • Enhanced Shared Sidewalk: Shared bicycle and pedestrian facility adjacent to, but separated from, the roadway. Designed led to function similar to a shared use path. III-161 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 232 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Map III-15.

Planned Bicycle Facilities Revised 2003 III-163 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 234 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation • Sidewalk Infill/Repair: Completing sidewalk gaps greatly improves pedestrian connectivity by providing a continuous, barrier -free walkway easily accessible for all users. • Accessway: Simple connectors provide direct routes between residential areas, retail and office areas. Citizens indicated the greatest preference for facilities separated from vehicles or havingcy designatedpavement area exclusively for bikes. However, the opportunities for designated bicycle lanes and separate shared use facilities are limited or expensive. As a result, bicycle boulevards are a key element of building a complete bicycle network in Federal Way. Due to limited resources, the development of the walking and bicycling network will require further review and establishment of priorities for the near term. The following2011 planning level estimate costs were developed to help determine the relative scale of investment that will be necessar t� o implement all of the identified facilities. A summary of projects costs to complete the walking and bicycling layered network, per the Walking and Bicycling Master Plan, is presented in Table III-7 (Non -Motorized Improvement Costs) Table III-7. Non -Motorized Improvement Costs Facility Types Estimate Costs Sidewalk Network $62 million for facilities on 61 miles roadway (approx. 320,000 linear feed Trail network $21 million for facilities on 16 miles (84,000 linear feet Bicycle Network $57 million for facilities on 71 miles of roadway_(374,000 linear feet Crossing Modifications $4 million for modifications at 21 intersections along 320th and 348th/Campus Drive. Transit Revised 2003 While the Citv itself does not overate transit. corridors that are welcoming to transit and have appropriate supportive amenities can encourage residents and employees to use transit. This could lead to additional service hours from transit providers such as King Co Metro, Pierce Transit, and Sound Transit. The Transit Priority Corridors identifies the corridors that the City should focus their efforts on and is III-164 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 235 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation shown in Map III-17 (Transit Priority Corridors). The City can enhance transit use by offering; • Street lighting • Safe routes for accessing transit stops • Transportation System Management approaches to enhance transit speed and reliability Revised 2003 III-165 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 236 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 III-166 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 237 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Federal Way's transit level of service is based on the passenger amenities provided at transit stops along Transit Priority Corridors. The transit level of service is determined using a transit agencies policy for the types of passenger amenities provided at transit stops based on the number of passengers accessingthe he stop. Where more than one transit agency accesses a transit stop, the highest level of amenity provision should be considered the standard. Optionally, the level of service for transit priority corridors could be expanded to consider pedestrian access and the quality of transit service. The City can achieve the green level of service standard by having over 80% of transit stops meetingamenity menity minimum provided alongtransit ansit priority corridors. The yellow standard, which the City will adopt as its minimum target, can be achieved with more than 60% of transit stops meeting minimum amenity provisions. Transit Priority Corridors with less than 60% of transit stops meeting the minimum amenily provision would fall into the red category and not satisfy the City's level of service for transit. Federal WU's measurement of transit level of service is summarized in Table 111--8 (Transit Priority Corridor Level of Service At the time of this update, Pierce Transit, King CogM Metro, and Sound Transit are undergoing updates of the long range plans.

Regional Activities The only trucking center in Federal Way is Emie's Center on SR 99 at South 330th Street. This facility caters to the movement of freight and nods by offering fuel. Lookin toward the future several re ional road projects may affect freightgoods movement through the area. Improvements along 1-5, which will make truck traffic more efficient include truck -climbing lanes in the Southcenter area. At present, there are major points of delay for peak hour traffic. Trucks arriving on I-5 and on SR 18 just east of 1-5 from SR 167 have problems, since they are not able to approach the hill climb at posted speed and delay other travelers. Perhaps one of the most significant regional improvements is the enhanced connection of SR 167 with 1-5 at Fife and into the Port of Tacoma. The current industrial development in the area of the Port masks the growing importance of the Green River Valley, both as a transportation corridor and as a generator of freight and goods movement. Increasing accessibility to the SR 167 corridor will provide an alternate route for truck based freight and goods movement. SR 509 is being studied for consideration of an extension, tying -back to I-5 at South 210th Street. This route will open an alternate route to the Port of Seattle's international freight facilities, as well as to provide access to the airport industrial complex. To the extent that this new route's design considers impacts to I-5, SR 99, and local street system in Federal Way,it provides great benefit to Federal Way. Other long ange actions that will affect freight and goods movement in this north/south corridor include Intelligent Traveler Service (ITS) —with improved (truck) vehicle identification. and commuter rail service in the Green River Valley. Intelligent Traveler Service features will be incorporated into the "high tech," I-5 corridor being designed under the state DOT'S Venture Program. Advanced communication systems will III-170 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 241 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation allow better detection of slow -downs, accidents, and even hazardous vehicles movingthrough Federal Way, which certainly affect the City's local residents traveling these regional facilities. To the extent that Commuter Rail service in the Valley can avoid impacting freight and goods movement, it is viewed as a positive step in the direction of providing high capacity transit to the south end of the region. Care must be taken to avoid forcing a shift in cargo carrying capacity from rail to truck in the south county corridor. Highway commuter needs warrant keeping this "traffic" on rails. Consistent with the requirements set at the federal level. PSRC and WSDOT are focusing increased efforts towards understanding freight and goods movement and identifying solutions to problems faced by local, regional, state, and international shippers. Using studies by the Port of Seattle and WSDOT. PSRC and the Economic Development Council have established a Freight Mobility Roundtable. The Roundtable brings together key carriers, producers, and consumers, as well as nationally recognized consultants on the topic. This effort is seen as setting the pace for other areas around the country. The Roundtable efforts will be linked with a series of other efforts by the Regional Council. including: • Building a commodities flow database: • Identifying current and future problem areas that inhibit or restrict the effective movement of freight and goods: • Recommending road, intermodal, and other s stem improvements to address these problems, while meeting federal and state Clean Air Act strictures: and • Developing �planning �guidelines for use at the local level. The benefits of supporting these regional activities will be maintenance of accessibility for City residents and businesses. Transportation System Management Transportation Systems Management (TSM) focuses on maximizing use of the existing systems travel capacity. Its focus is to identify ways to manage the transportation systemusually streets and highways, from a local agency_ perspective) to maximize the caMing capacity of existing facilities. Federal Way outlines their approach for futures transportation system management in their Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) plan. Revised 2003 III-171 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 242 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 These plans define the application of technology to address transportation problems such as congestion, safety, and mobility. As outlined in the Intelligent Transportation SystemITS) Plan, the Ci . has an ever-expanding communication network with plans to create a robust Traffic Management Center (TMC) and a secondary Satellite Management Center. The plan provides a framework to complete gaps in the communication network, install traffic monitoring capabilities, increase staff resources, and increase collaboration with the following entities: • WSDOT • King County • Transit Agencies (,King County Metro Transit, Peirce Transit, Sound Transit) • Adjacent Cities • Valley Communications ("ValleyCom"j • Participants of the City of Federal Way Emergency Operations Center As the Intelligent Transportation SystemsITS) program ogres include more technology and extended interagency coordination, the Public Works Department that oversees and operates these projects will periodically update the Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS, Master Plan, included in Appendix III-D, and evaluate changing needs and technology. The plan documents current needs and provides a strategic plan for completing proposed Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects and programs. Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan The City's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)plan and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies should be updated to reflect new legislation and to be aligned with PSRC's Regional Transportation Demand ManagementTDM) Action Plan. The goal of the Federal Way CTR plan is to increase non drive -alone trips in the 2019-2020 timeframe to 24.4% and reduce vehicle miles traveled by approximately 11% and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by gpproximately 22% among major work sites. Building upon the success of the existing commute trip reduction program, the City strives to meet the goals of the plan for the future by working in partnership and coordination with other agencies and employers. III-172 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 243 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Recommendations The following recommendations are made for Commute Trip Reduction CTR : 6. Encourage voluntary expansion of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)Program to employers of less than 100 employees funding allows. The encouragement by employers may be as diverse as subsidized bus passes, car pool space priority. bike racks, shower facilities, van pools, car pool information access. telecommutin . variable work hours. etc. 7. Facilitate enhancements to the HOV System. This may include the acquisition of property for HOV lanes, construction of arterial HOV lanes on City arterials and State highways. and priority treatments for buses at traffic signals. At the very least. opportunities to support improved access to the State system of HOV lanes should be identified and supported. 8. Increase density of land uses and encourage a mix of uses to locate near bus routes, park and ride lots, and transit centers through the adoption of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and its supportin zoning. oning This policy is vital to the creation of a regional bus and rail system and will also be an effective way to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. 9. Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle access and security in the City Center, neighborhood shopping areas, and multifamily nodes. 10. Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to bus routes and transit centers. This can be a requirement of subdivision, development, and redevelopment. The City may need to acquire easements and construct trail connections. Development incentives could be granted for providing such amenities that are pedestrian bike. and transit friendly. 11. While bicycle, pedestrian, and bus transit services and facilities may be desirable for other reasons: they should not be looked on as highly cost-effective strategies to the exclusion of those actions listed above. 3.7 NEAR -TERM AND LONG-TERM PROJECTS This chapter presents the Transportation Improvement Plan (near -term) and Capital Improvement Program (long-term) which forms the basis of III-173 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 244 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 this Transportation Element. Collectively, they add Lip to over $800 million in transportation projects to be constructed over the next few decades. For planningspurposes, the near -term Transportation Improvement Plan represents years 0 to 6 (2016-2021) and is financially constrained to only those projects that could realistically receive funding over the next six years. It is unlikely that all of the projects on the six year list would receive funding because they total over $257 million. Projects included on the Six -Year Project List are considered community priorities that the City would move forward in the near -term should funds become available. The Transportation Improvement Plan counts on strong coordination with other agencies to help finance needed improvements on the state highway system, facilities in adjacent jurisdictions, along with expanded transit services provided by Metro. These projects provide a starting point for the City in developing its financial constrained Six - Year Transportation Improvement Plan, which is updated every year and is developed based on more updated knowledge related to project feasibility and funding? availability_ The long-term Capital Improvement Pro ram list 7-20+ years. reaches out to and potentially beyond the 2040 ,year time horizon and represents important projects that tend not to have identified funding or are only necessary to address future growth. The Transportation Improvement Plan and Capital Improvement Program were developed to create a transportation system that realizes Federal Way's ultimate transportation goals: • Goal 1: Maintain mobili , through a safe, balanced, and integrated transportation system. • Goal 2: Be fiscally and environmentally sustainable • Goal 3: Enhance community health, livability, and transportation by providing a connected system of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit ways that are integrated into a coordinated regional network. • Goal 4: Support the City's land use vision and plan. • Goal 5: Develop and implement transportation systems management strategies and programs that contribute to the overall effectiveness of the multimodal transportation system. • Goal 6: Be an active partner by coordinating with a broad range of groups to help meet Federal Way's transportation goals. III-174 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 245 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 With these goals in mind, as well as completingthe he layered network, the respective project lists were developed. The Six -Year Project List, Table III-9 (Transportation Improvement Plan — 2016 to 2021),seeks to maintain concurrency, focus on projects that provide the most benefit to Federal Way residents, and leverage outside funds to the maximum extent possible. Map III-18 (Transportation Improvement Plan 2016 — 2021) displays the locations of these projects in Federal Way. None of these projects conflict with the goals listed above. It is recognized that the availability of outside funds is not alwaspredictable. As a result, any of the projects on the near term list are high priority projects that the City would consider moving forward should funding become available.

Traffic Mitigation Federal Way assesses traffic impact mitigations for new developments through a combination of impact fees for system -level improvements and SEPA traffic mitigation for site -specific impacts. The City has collected an annual average of $432,000 in traffic mitig tion fees since 2009. Prior to 2010 the city also collected SEPA-based mitigation fees for system - level improvements. When impact fees were adopted, the SEPA mitigation was limited to site -specific impacts. A low estimate of $216,000 is based on 50 percent of the historical average. The high estimate of $432,000 is based on 100 percent of the historical average. The average of these values is $324,000. 6. Transfer from Other Sources Federal Way also uses funds from other sources such as real estate excise taxes (BEET) and community block grants to fund many types of infrastructure improvements, includingtransportation ransportation projects. This estimate is based on an average of $2.3 million transferred from other sources since 2009. A low estimate of $1.1 million is based on 50 percent of the historical average. The high estimate of $2.3 million is based on 100 percent of the historical average. The average of these values is $1.7 million. Revised 2003 III-202 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 272 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Future Revenues for Transportation Capital Protects A key GMA planning requirement is the concept of fiscal restraint in transportation planning. A fiscally constrained Transportation Element must first allow for operation and maintenance of existing facilities, and then capital improvements. To introduce fiscal constraint into the plan, an inventory of revenues and costs was undertaken to identify funds that are likely to be available for capital construction and operations. The proposed Transportation Element for Federal Way contains a variety of projects that would cost approximately $850 million over 25 years. Table 111--12 summarizes the costs of the major types of transportation investments by type. The Transportation Element focuses on capital projects that will help the city achieve its mobilitygoals. The plan also includes ongoing pavement maintenance to ensure that the roadway network is kept in good condition. Table III-2012. Costs of Federal Way Transportation Element (25+ years) Feder -a!

Revenues include those from outside sources and grategeneral city funds, real estate excise taxes, impact fees, and gas tax receipts. The City aggressively pursues federal and state funding sources for transportation projects in order to maximize the use of City funds to maintain City streets and fund improvements to streets that would not fare well in grant -funding selection criteria. Based on the data in Table 111--11 (Estimates of Specific Revenue bX Sources 2015-2040 [$ Millions) the city's existing revenue sources could generate between $110 and $220 Million over the next 25 years. The comparison ofrevenues to costs indicates that the Qty-Is streets genera l4ycity will need to carefully_ prioritize its projects, since not all of the transportation needs are likely to be affordable with existing revenue sources during the 25-vear period. If this occurs. the Citv has several options: • Increase the amount of revenue from existing sources, including impact fees, real estate excise taxes, transportation benefit district, or increased general fund revenues. • Adopt new sources of revenue: o Proceeds from General Obligation Bonds o Creation of Local Improvement Districts o Reciprocal impact fees with adjacent jurisdictions o Business license fee per employee o The city can explore the feasibility and likely revenue amounts from these or other sources as the plan is implemented over the next several ,years. • Lower the level of service standard, and therefore reduce the need for some transportation improvements. Revised 2003 III-204 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 274 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Three, Transportation Revised 2003 Note that the city could also weigh changing the land use element to reduce the amount of development planned (and thus reduce the need for additional public facilities). However, overflow from congested freeway would be me -e ;ri,,.aetea y likely to con esg t City arterials regardless. Transit Funding Operating funding for transit services primarily comes from local �regionaltfaf4e) sales tax revenues, farebox revenues and in the case of Sound Transit, a Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. Capital funding primarily comes from federal grants. Metro bus service is allocated to three subareas of the County, the East, South, and West (Seattle/north suburban) subareas. The West subarea has 63 percent of the bus service. Due to the 2008 recession, Metro modified criteria for allocatingtr service, and Federal Way had somewhat less service cuts than the planned gr-ovAh would impaet the any cities in the South subarea. The current economic recovery allowed King County to stave off further planned service reductions, and is developing a Long Range Plan to build support for a new revenue package. The appheation of eeneuffeney for- tfa-aspei4a4ion assures that iaTfevemeftts an-, long range vision for- !and use and tr-aaspet4atioa.

Fortunately, several of the more effective options are within the purview of the City. While many of these TDM strategies will need to be implemented and managed by the private sector, Federal Way can provide the infrastructure needed to support such strategies, such as transit and HOV lanes and expanded bicycle and pedestrian networks.

A CMS is a policy to determine whether adequate public facilities are available to serve new developments. In this manner, concurrency balances the transportation investment program with land use changes envisioned by the City over the next several years. Level of Service (LOS) Standards Level of Service (LOS) on a street or roadway is a qualitative description of traffic flow conditions during a specific time period. This measure considers travel conditions as perceived by motorists and passengers in terms of travel speed, travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, delays, comfort, and convenience. Levels of service have traditionally been given letter designations from A through F, with LOS A representing ideal operating conditions, and LOS F representing "forced flow" conditions beyond capacity. Level of service is used by the City of Federal Way for two primary purposes: (1) to calculate the amount of transportation facilities the City needs in the future, and (2) to measure the adequacy of the public services which serve existing and proposed development. The two uses of LOS utilize the same basic standards and methodology, such that consistency is maintained. LOS Standard - The City's goal is to maintain or improve upon a PM peak hour roadway LOS so that it is at least within capacity. However, as regional facilities become increasingly congested due to growth, capacity improvements on City streets would quickly become negated by traffic diverting from the freeway system. The plan expects some change in the present patterns of travel behavior through increased use of non-SOV modes, such as walking, bicycling, transit, carpooling, and vanpooling. The LOS standard should reflect the impact of increased non-SOV modes of transportation. LOS Methodology - Within urbanized areas, most of the roadway congestion occurs at signalized intersections. However, it is not always practical to measure traffic flows at every intersection, and this type of detailed analysis does not provide a full perspective on how well the overall roadway network is performing. Due to the complex nature of traffic flows and the ability of motorists to take alternative routes for similar trips, the City of Federal Way has selected a LOS methodology that is an expansion of the traditional LOS measurements presented in the Highway Capacity Manual. The City uses the following two criteria for measuring LOS. Volume/Capacity (V/C) Ratio - The volume/capacity (v/c) ratio directly compares the volume on a roadway segment or intersections with the capacity of that facility to Revised 2015 Page 2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 352 of 804 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan — Appendix III-C: Concurrency Management System carry traffic volumes. The ratio, expressed in a range as shown in Table C-1, can be used as a planning level LOS indicator. Table C-1. Planning and Operational Levels of Service Analysis Procedure A B C D E F Planning' (v/c) 0.00 - 0.60 0.61 - 0.70 0.71 - 0.80 0.81 - 0.90 0.91 - 1.00 >1.00 Operational2 Delay (sec) 0.00 -10.00 10.00 - 20.00 20.00 - 40.00 40.00 - 60.00 60.00 - 80.00 >80.00 Transportation Research Circular 212, Interim Materials on Highway Capacity. Highway Capacity Manual (2000). The capacity of the roadway segment reflects the condition of the road (e.g. width of lanes, amount of driveway disturbances, whether there exists a left turning lane, etc.) and the type of traffic control along its length (e.g. frequent traffic signals reduce capacity). In an operational analysis, the level of service standard for planning purposes will be a v/c of 1.00 for unsignalized intersections, 1.20 for signalized intersections, and an average of 1.10 for the City Center area, with a LOS of E, using a 120-second cycle at signalized intersections. In order to reflect an emphasis on non-SOV modes, LOS will be measured by average delay per person rather than the Highway Capacity Manual's average delay per vehicle. The City chooses this methodology to determine development impacts and mitigations. Legislative Requirement The transportation element section of the Washington State GMA reads: "Local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a transportation facility to decline below standards adopted in the transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with development (RCW 36.70A.070)." The phrase "concurrent with development" means that public infrastructure improvements and strategies required to service land development be in place, or financially planned for, within six years of development. In Washington State, the transportation CMS's must include all arterials and transit routes; but may include other transportation services and facilities. Highways of Statewide Significance (HSS) are exempt from concurrency requirements, but local agencies are required to identify their comprehensive plan's impacts on the HSS network. In Federal Way, the HSS network consists of 1-5 and SR 18 east of 1-5. These impacts are quantified in Table C-2: Revised 2015 Page 3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 353 of 804 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan — Appendix III-C: Concurrency Management System Table C-2. Impacts to Highways of Statewide Significance — 2000 to 2020 Highway 1-5 1-5 1-5 1-5 SR 18 Segment North of South North of South North of SR 18 South of SR 18 East of 1-5 272"d Street 320th Street Increase in 459 476 357 137 750 Hourly Volumes However, it should also be recognized that City streets act as an overflow conduit for the HSS network due to the failure of the state to provide adequate capacity on the HSS network. A sample of these impacts is quantified in Table C-3. Table C-3. Impacts to City Streets From State's Failure to Provide Adequate Capacity on Highways of Statewide Significance in 2020 Roadway SR 99 SR 99 SR 99 SR 99 SR 161 Segment North City Limits North of South South of South South City Limits South City Limits 320th Street 324th Street Increase in Hourly Volumes 1020 391 431 1252 323 A comparison of these tables indicates that the City's streets generally would be more impacted by regional traffic than the planned growth would impact the HSS network. Concurrency Management The application of concurrency for transportation assures that improvements and programs for accommodating planned growth are provided as development permits are issued. The concurrency strategy balances three primary factors: available financial resources, acceptable transportation system performance conditions, and the community's long-range vision for land use and transportation. The City has identified probable financial capabilities, anticipated system performance conditions (level -of -service), and has proposed a roster of transportation investments and programs that implement the FWCP. The FWCP presents an allocation of estimated available transportation resources matched to planned improvements, which are scheduled over the planning period. With the general estimates of costs, revenues, and timing for construction, as required by the GMA, the plan predicts the acceptance of development permits that are consistent with its policies. The GMA requires that a contingency plan be outlined in case the City should fail to obtain the resources anticipated to make the necessary transportation improvements to maintain the adopted LOS standards. This analysis is sometimes Revised 2015 Page 4 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 354 of 804 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan — Appendix III-C: Concurrency Management System termed "plan -level concurrency." Strategies for maintaining or rectifying adopted LOS standards in the event of a budget shortfall include the following: • Increase the level of funding commitments in subsequent years; • Review and adjust the City's overall land use vision to lower the overall transportation demand; • Reprioritize improvements to address system capacity needs as the highest priority; and • Modify (i.e., lower) the LOS standard to match available resources. Regular updating of the FWCP and Transportation chapter will afford opportunities for the City to modify the LOS standard or to secure other funding sources necessary to implement the capital improvements needed to maintain the adopted level of service standard. Concurrency Testing State law requires that a concurrency "test" be applied to all development proposals as a condition of granting a development permit. A concurrency test compares a proposed development's need for public facilities and services to the "capacity" of the facilities and services that are available to meet demand. Other questions that need to be addressed are at what point in the development process does concurrency apply, what types of development permits are subject to the concurrency test, and should fees be charged for concurrency testing to cover staff and administrative costs associated with the testing. Federal Way's approach is to implement transportation improvements and programs that it can afford to finance. These improvements and programs are based upon the FWCP, which includes a level -of -service standard for the transportation system. The primary purpose of the Concurrency Management Program is to allocate available resources based on the timing and location of development, and to assess mitigation fees based upon each new development's share of the improvements that are planned in the subarea within which it is located. Level -of -Service measures the outcome of and progress toward the planned growth rate. Concurrency Management and SEPA While concurrency requirements are similar in many ways to the requirements of the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA), there are some important differences, as follows: • Concurrency requirements are more demanding; if they are not met, denial of the project is mandated. • Concurrency is based on a Level -of Service (LOS) standard; SEPA has no specific standard as its basis. Revised 2015 Page 5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 355 of 804 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan — Appendix III-C: Concurrency Management System • Concurrency requirements only apply to capacity issues; SEPA requirements apply to all environmental impacts of a project, including transportation safety. • Concurrency has timing rights related to development; SEPA does not. Therefore, concurrency does not replace SEPA, but rather becomes an integral part of a comprehensive program that relates private and public commitments to improving the entire transportation system. SEPA will focus primarily on site impacts that could result in additional transportation requirements in specific instances (particularly access to the site or impacts in the immediate vicinity that could not have been anticipated in the overall transportation investment strategy for the system). Concurrency conclusions in the FWCP do not excuse projects from SEPA review. However, they do address major system infrastructure issues that must be properly administered under both SEPA and the GMA.

INTRODUCTION Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are defined as the application of technology to address transportation problems such as congestion, safety, and mobility. In the Puget Sound Region, substantial investments in ITS have been made by cities and counties and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The City of Federal Way has an ever-expanding communication network with plans to create a robust Traffic Management Center (TMC) and a secondary Satellite Management Center. This document provides a plan to complete gaps in the communication network, install traffic monitoring capabilities, increase staff resources, and increase collaboration with the following entities: • WSDOT • King County • Transit Agencies (King County Metro Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit) • Adjacent Cities • Valley Communications ("ValleyCom") • Participants of the City of Federal Way Emergency Operations Center (EOC) As the ITS program grows to include more technology and extended interagency coordination, the Traffic Division that oversees and operates these projects will periodically update the ITS Master Plan and evaluate changing needs and technology. This plan documents current needs and provides a strategic plan for completing proposed ITS projects and programs. 1.1 PLAN OVERVIEW This ITS Master Plan is organized into the following chapters: • The Current Transportation Environment: This chapter discusses the current transportation environment in Federal Way includes the roles and responsibilities of various groups that are involved with operating and maintaining the transportation systems and roads as well as other agencies that are considered stakeholders for the development of the Federal Way ITS program. • Review of Plans and Anticipated Regional Projects: Existing reports and plans were reviewed to gain an understanding of transportation issues and planned projects in Federal Way. These documents include the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the 2015 - 2020 six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the 20-year Capital Improvement Plan, and Vision 2040 issued by the Puget Sound Regional Council. • ITS Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment: This chapter provides overview of the systems in place today and an identification of implantation needs for problem locations (corridors, intersections, etc.) that may have applicable ITS solutions. • Concept of Operations: The concept of operations establishes the roles and responsibilities between organizations, and the level of information sharing among those organizations. • ITS Master Plan Projects List: This chapter provides a project list based upon identified needs and the Concept of Operations.

Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 3 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 360 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan 2. CURRENT TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENT With a 2014 population of 90,150, Federal Way is the fifth largest city in King County and the eleventh largest in the State of Washington'. The city limits encompass 22.5 square miles with 292 centerline miles of paved streets. Interstate (1) - 5 bisects the city running north and south, State Route (SR) 99 runs parallel to 1-5. State Route 509 connects southwest Pierce County with SR 99 in the northern portion of Federal Way. SR 161 and SR 18 also service Federal Way connections to north, south, east, and west of the city. The area employs 29,200 jobs with the major employers being the City of Federal Way, Weyerhaeuser, and St Francis Medical Center. Origin -destination studies show the major arterials as access to 1-5 for work based trips as well as carrying through -traffic from north and south of Federal Way commutes. The City has completed major investments into the roadway network and park & rides, which includes widening and adding five core lane miles of HOV lanes on SR 99 and additional HOV lane miles on S 348th Street (access to SR 18). Construction of the Sound Transit Station was completed in 2006 with direct access to 1-5. 2.1 ITS PROGRAM STAKEHOLDERS Within the City, the Traffic Division of Public Works conducts planning, design, operations, and maintenance of the existing traffic signal interconnect system. Those functions shall remain the same for the future ITS system in Federal Way. The division regularly coordinates with other City and non - City agencies. The following are considered key stakeholders for both the existing and future programs. WSDOT Northwest Region: WSDOT is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 1-5 while Federal Way maintains and operates the other state routes within the city. WSDOT's Northwest Region operates a Traffic Systems Management Center (TSMC) located in Shoreline. WSDOT monitors roadway conditions via their many traffic cameras. The TSMC monitors, detects and responds to traffic incidents and shares information with the Washington State Patrol (WSP) via a direct link to WSP's Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. WSDOT also posts real-time traveler information messages to the WSDOT web site and statewide 511 systems. The 511 system is a telephone traveler information system that provides customized road reports and other information based upon a traveler's location. Currently WSDOT allows Federal Way to access video images from the City TMC. Today WSDOT has fiber optic systems along S 320th Street, SR 161, and SR 99 entering the City of Kent. Federal Way's planned program connects to these extension areas. • King County Road Services: King County Road Services division has an active ITS program with an ACTRA centralized signal control system. King County has a Traffic Control Center (TCC) in downtown Seattle, and has a multi -phase ITS Strategic Plan. • City of Auburn: Federal Way shares its boundaries with Potential Annexation Areas (PAA) of King County bordering Auburn's recently annexed areas. Auburn operates and maintains a TMC. Federal Way's concept master plan would connect to this system. • City of Kent: The City of Kent shares a north boundary with Federal Way. There is a planned Kent ITS network connection along S 272nd Street to connect to ValleyCom Dispatch and Auburn's TMC. ValleyCom Dispatch is the regional 911 communications dispatch center. • King County Transit Speed and Reliability: King County Metro's Speed and Reliability Division works with local jurisdictions to deploy Transit Signal Priority. TSP is currently being deployed within Source: Office of Financial Management's (OFM) April 1, 2014 population estimate. Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 4 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 361 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan Federal Way on the main transit corridors of SR 99 and S 3201h Street. As part of the implementation on Metro's A -Line, Metro installed fiber-optic network on SR99 between Federal Way and Tukwila, with shared operations and responsibility between Metro, WSDOT, and the cities on the route. • Sound Transit and Pierce Transit: Both transit agencies serve Park & Rides within Federal Way. Sound Transit provides regional transit connections to areas north and south of Federal Way and Pierce Transit provides service to and from the City of Tacoma area, south of Federal Way. Real-time traffic information will be provided at Park & Ride facilities to provide commuters and drivers valuable decision -making information. • Federal Way School District: The Federal Way School District is headquartered next to the City Hall. The intent of this stakeholder partnership is to share data for transportation services and emergency management personnel, which dispatches to all of the schools within Federal Way. • Emergency Management: The Federal Way Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located at City Hall at Federal Way with a secondary command center at the South King Fire and Rescue station near 1st Ave S and S 320t" Street. This ITS Plan includes a satellite TMC at the South King Fire and Rescue station. The Fire Department is dispatched via ValleyCom Dispatch located in Kent. The Fire Department responds to incidents across the city and along freeways from several fire stations. The City's arterials are the main routes used by the Fire Department, and Opticom emergency vehicle signal preemption is installed at the signalized intersections on these routes. Other operation members of the EOC are Lakehaven Utility District, Puget Sound Energy, and representatives from St. Francis Hospital. • Law Enforcement: The Federal Way Police Department is located in the same building as Public Works and assists in staffing the EOC. The Federal Way Police Department operates the "Safe City" project, which includes 34 pan -tilt -zoom cameras located in the City Center of Federal Way. Integrating the "Safe City" video monitoring system with the TMC is an opportunity to leverage existing ITS resources to improve traffic management capabilities. 3. REVIEW OF PLANS AND ANTICIPATED REGIONAL PROJECTS 3.1 REVIEW OF PLANS The ITS Master Plan is intended to integrate with other local and regional planning efforts. Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element: The goal of the Federal Way Transportation Element is to provide a balanced multi -modal transportation system that will support land use patterns and adequately serve existing and future residential and employment growth within the City. This Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan comprises a set of framework transportation policies to support Federal Way's land use Vision and a more detailed and technical plan for implantation of the framework policies. The Transportation Element coordinates transportation projects with other relevant projects in adjacent jurisdictions and the region. Concurrent with this ITS plan update, Federal Way has updated the Comprehensive Plan integrating new policy framework consistent with the Puget Sound Regional (PSRC) Vision 2040 document. The ITS Master Plan is intended to fold into the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. • 6-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) 2016 - 2021: The TIP is updated annually and is part of the overall Capital Improvement Program for the City. The TIP includes prioritized project descriptions and projected funding for transportation improvements. TIP projects are evaluated and programmed based on the following criteria: Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 5 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 362 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan • Concurrency Requirement • Level of Service Improvement • Collision Rate Improvement • Collision Severity Rate Improvement • HOV Supportive • Non -Motorized Supportive • Community Support • Air Quality • Ease of Implementation • Benefit/Cost Ratio ITS projects do not have a dedicated funding source, so incorporating ITS elements into programmed TIP projects is an important strategy to expand the program capabilities. The 2016-2021 TIP includes construction of three new traffic signals but does not explicitly include ITS communication elements with the exception of implementing adaptive control systems. • Puget Sound Regional ITS Architecture: The Puget Sound Regional ITS Architecture was updated in 2008 and provides a framework for ensuring institutional agreement and technical integration for the implementation of ITS projects or groups of projects. The Regional ITS is a federally mandated planning document that provides a framework for the integrated deployment of ITS within the Puget Sound Region. Since Federal Way is part of the Puget Sound Regional ITS Architecture, the City is not required to develop a separate regional architecture. However, as funding applications for new projects are developed, the City will need to self -certify that it has met the Federal requirements for ITS Architecture compliance. • PSRC Destination 2030 and Vision 2040: The PSRC's Destination 2030 Transportation Improvement Plan carries several projects sponsored by Federal Way. The ITS Master Plan identifies projects that can be folded into the regional program. An example of the projects would be fiber network connections with CCTV sharing capabilities incorporated into existing projects, HOV Queue jump lanes, future Transit Signal Priority, Incidence Response Programs, and the TMC and Satellite TMC. 3.2 ANTICIPATED REGIONAL PROJECTS WSDOT has planned several projects in the Federal Way area and the transportation network that affects functions with the City roadway network and represent opportunities to expand ITS infrastructure. • SR 167 Extension, Tacoma to Edgewood (interchange near MP 139): Improvements include new construction of a freeway segment. The SR 167 Extension is a critical missing link in the state's highway network. Its completion is expected to improve safety and reduce congestion along local roads and freeways in the surrounding area. Construction is currently unfunded. • 1-5 SR 509 Corridor Completion and Freight Improvement Project: When finished, SR 509, the South Airport Access roadway, and new 1-5 lanes and improvements will become a key component within the Seattle and south King County transportation network. When considered in conjunction with the planned Alaskan Way Viaduct improvements, the project provides a critical north -south corridor alternative to 1-5 through Seattle and South King County.

ITS EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT 4.1 EXISTING ITS SYSTEM Central Signal System: Traffic signal communication consists of six pair copper wire and fiber optic interconnections. In -cabinet dial up modems communicate with four main master controllers via Aries (version 3.41) software system. There are 85 signalized intersections within the city. 0 74 signals are interconnected 0 11 signals are not interconnected to the system Signal Priority: Transit Signal Priority (TSP) has been implemented along several corridors in coordination with King County Metro Transit and Pierce Transit: • SR 99 @ S 2761h Street (Park & Ride location) • SR 99 @ SR 509 • SR 99 @ S 288th Street • SR 99 @ S 304th Street • SR 99 @ S 308th Street • SR 99 @ S 312th Street • SR 99 @ S 316th Street • S 316th Street @ 20th Ave S and 23rd Ave S • S 317th Street @ 23rd Ave S (Regional Transit Center) Real-time Traffic Monitoring: WSDOT is employing a program called "Traffic Busters". This program was implemented in 2008. The program goals are to proactively manage traffic congestion using an ITS network to connect to agencies, equipment share with agencies, provide a complete regional traffic (C2C) signal communications link, and provide for a web site with agreements and contracts. Twenty- two agencies are connected to this system. "Traffic Buster" System Architecture: Access to 1 gigabit synchronous backbone • 100 megabit agency connection to the backbone • Private network with a sub -network for agency use • Share Cameras 10 at a time (MPEG4 encoders) • See cameras 4 at a time (MPEG4 Decoders ) • PC terminal and software as needed • IP network for C2C connections • Phase 1 provides: Regional network camera coordination • Phase 2 provides: Regional data collection, signal coordination, and incident management plans WSDOT "Traffic Busters" 24 strand fiber was installed in 2010 from 1-5 at S 320th Street along S 3201h Street to SR 99. In coordination with this project, Federal Way installed 24-strand fiber at SR 99 at S 320th Street south on SR 99 to 161h Ave S; along 16th Ave S south to SR 18; then west on SR 18 (S 348th Street) to connect with the intersection of 9th Ave S (Park & Ride). 4.2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 7 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. I5-796 Page 364 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan The transportation needs and problem locations identified by Traffic Division staff generally fall within the areas of Traffic Management for mobility and safety, Emergency Management, and Road Maintenance. Incident management is also considered part of Traffic Management, with an incident considered to be a planned or unplanned event that results in traffic congestion verses an emergency being a major catastrophe that results in an activation of the EOC. Traffic Management: The deployment of a robust TMC and Satellite TMC will enable many opportunities for centralized control of future ITS field devices. In order for the City to maximize the return on the TMC investment, there is a need for devices that can provide a high level of real-time traffic monitoring and congestion management. The replacement and supplement of in -pavement loop detectors with video detection at key intersections can provide enhanced traffic data while reducing maintenance costs. Cameras that provide automated traffic counts would provide important data for signal timing plans. In addition, additions of Pan -Tilt Zoom (PTZ) traffic cameras and greater access to WSDOT freeway cameras will also provide significantly enhanced real-time monitoring capability. The procurement of fixed and/or portable Dynamic Message Signs at the interchange access to the City at SR 18 and S 320th Street as well as at key locations along the major corridors of SR 99, SR 161, SR 18, SR 509 are needed for providing en -route information to travelers. These signs could also be used for any construction notifications for impacts to main travel ways. The Traffic Division has noted these key traffic and safety needs: • Coordinate with WSDOT, King County, and other cities to address management of incidents on 1-5 and SR 18. Additionally, explore techniques to handle congestion on the City arterials due to incidents and special events. This may include development of "action plan sets" — predefined signal coordination plans that are designed to provide high -capacity throughput on detour routes. • Continued fiber optic system installation as well as bringing on line all signalized intersections. Include 24-count fiber on all signal capital projects. • Investment in a more robust TMC with modern hardware and software resources. The current workstation and connectivity are inadequate to effectively leverage the existing ITS infrastructure. • Conduct a systems engineering plan to evaluate the software and equipment necessary to effectively interface with the ITS system. • Current level of staff resources is hindering ability to dedicate time to traffic signal management and fully engage ITS partners. To support the expanded real-time monitoring of traffic conditions, additional TMC staff would be required. The traffic division does not have staffing to manage a TMC with and there is not a dedicated TMC operator at this time. With the expansion of the City's ITS program, the staffing of the TMC during peak travel hours should be considered. Up to two persons might be required for this duty to cover the required time periods. • Build relationship with Police Department to share Safe City surveillance equipment. • Continue to explore ways to make Transit Signal Priority more effective and reliable. • Explore implementation of adaptive control strategies, which adjust timing in real-time. • Speed Monitoring and dangerous curve warnings. • Improved safety and visibility at school and pedestrian crossings. • Automated downloads of traffic volume data • Real-time traffic conditions data broadcast to the public same as WSDOT and the City of Bellevue's traffic flow maps.

Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 8 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 365 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan Emergency Management: Over the past few years there have been discussions promoted by the Federal Way Traffic Division (support to EOC) with Emergency Management regarding ITS needs for enhancing traffic/emergency management. The following are highlights of the discussed needs to support the EOC via an ITS: • Development of a citywide emergency response plan coordinated with an ITS system. • Access to a TMC and Satellite TMC functioning with the EOC to include traffic camera images, signal system workstation, and access to weather and traffic sensor data from future devices. • Pre -defined signal timing plans for major incidents such as earthquakes, floods, and HAZMAT spills. Timing plans would also be needed for accommodating traffic incidents on 1-5 and events that affect 1-5 in Tacoma and Seattle. • The EOC could also receive information and notifications of snow plowing and other road maintenance activities. • A procedure by which the EOC could request specific messages to be sent on the Dynamic Message Signs. Road Maintenance: The Federal Way Streets Division manages road maintenance. An ITS system would benefit this Division of the Public Works Department with: • Ability to detect real-time flooding and icy conditions from the field. • Ability to remotely alert motorists to hazardous conditions. • Ability to remotely monitor road conditions, including conditions at construction work zones. 5. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS As the City moves forward with implementation of their ITS program, it is necessary to consider how the various City divisions and departments will work together with key stakeholders to most effectively accomplish their goals and objectives as a roadway service provider. A Concept of Operations identifies two things: 1. The roles and responsibilities that an agency and partners have in deploying and operating ITS projects and programs. 2. The electronic information exchanges that need to occur between the agencies. The previous sections of this report present the Federal Way ITS program in terms of the existing and planned projects and identified needs. The Concept of Operations is intended to provide a view as to how Federal Way would operate on a day-to-day basis with a fully functional ITS program in place. The Concept of Operations establishes the roles and responsibilities for operations and maintenance of equipment, and also the levels of electronic information and device control sharing among the partners. Essentially, the Concept of Operations defined what information is electronically gathered and manipulated by each agency, and how it is shared with other agencies to the benefit of all. Because the Concept of Operations defines information sharing links between agencies it is also a required link two agencies that wish to send streaming video to each other, compared to two agencies who simply wish to share traffic volume data, The City's Concept of Operations must blend with the Puget Sound Regional ITS Architecture. The Regional ITS Architecture is a technical framework for the deployment and integration of ITS in a given area. The Puget Sound Regional ITS Architecture, developed for the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), includes a Concept of Operations from a regional perspective. However, a more detail Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 9 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 366 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan analysis from Federal Way's perspective is warranted as part of the Master Plan development. The Concept of Operations is intended to be forward thinking to support the current and new projects that will be identified in this ITS Master Plan. In addition, by identifying electronic linkages between agencies necessary for sharing information and video images, the Concept of Operations begins to define requirements for the communications infrastructure that will be needed to support future projects. This section provides the recommended Concept of Operations for the City of Federal Way. 5.1 Approach to Developing the Concept of Operations In developing a Concept of Operations, it is recognized that relationships between agencies embody two main components: 1) what roles and responsibilities does each agency play in the relationship, and 2) what kinds of information are shared. Seven types of roles or responsibilities are used to describe agency -to -agency relationships. They are listed as follows from the lowest to the highest level of interaction. • Consultation: One party confers with another party, in accordance with an established process, about an anticipated action and then keeps that party's information about actions taken. • Cooperation: The parties involved in carrying out the planned and/or project development processes work together to achieve a common goal or objective. • Coordination: The comparison of the transportation plans, programs, and schedules of one agency with related plans, programs, and schedules of other agencies, and adjustment of plans, programs and schedules to achieve general consistency. • Information Sharing: The electronic exchange of data and device status information between parties for the purpose of coordinated responses, planning, and analysis. • Control Sharing: The ability, through operational agreements, to allow for one party to control another party's field devices to properly respond to incident, event, weather, or traffic conditions. • Operations: One party fully operates field equipment of a second party, typically because the second party does not have this capability and contracts for the service. • Maintenance: One party maintains the equipment for a second party. Along with these seven roles and responsibilities are associated information types that are typical for agency -agency exchange. Five primary types of electronic information exchanges are identified: • Video: The dissemination of live video and still images from one party's field cameras to another's via email, web page, or ftp site. • Data: The dissemination of data from one party to another party. Data can include but is not limited to, traffic data, weather data, parking data, transit data, etc. • Command: The ability for one party to control field devices. Command can include but is not limited to, changing DMS messaging, changing traffic signal timing, camera control, etc. Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 10 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 367 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan • Request: The ability for one party to solicit either data or request a change, such as DMS messaging or signal times, from another party. • Status: The ability for one party to monitor field devices, and receive such information as current signal timing/response plan, current message sets, etc. A diagram representation of these relationships for Federal Way is provided in FIGURE 1 on the next page.

Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 12 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 369 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan The roles and responsibilities of these entities in the Federal Way ITS Program are described below: • City of Federal Way TMC: The TMC would operate the city's centralized signal system and monitor the conditions on the city arterials and freeways. The TMC also coordinates and shares other agency data and monitored conditions. City of Federal Way EOC: The Federal Way EOC would receive direct communications from the TMC and the satellite TMC. This data share would be in the form of camera images via the intranet and/or email notifications for a web page or ftp site. Cameras would provide traffic issues, weather and/or emergency issues. The satellite TMC would provide backup access to the City Hall location. The EOC would also have the ability to request that a particular message be placed on the future DMS or traveler information web page. The EOC would have the ability to have a subset of participants in this program to effective manage direction of the operations with: • City of Federal Way Streets / Operations Division • City of Federal Way Police Department • South King County Fire and Rescue • Federal Way School District Head Quarters • Puget Sound Energy • Lakehaven Utility District • St. Francis Hospital Valley Communications: As mentioned earlier, the Valley Communications Center is the hub for all 911 communications in South King County located in the City of Kent. At the north boundaries of Federal Way on S 272"d Street, the City of Kent plans a fiber optic connection through to Valley Communications. Federal Way would be able to connect to this system at S 272"d Street @ SR 99. This vision of partnership would include all the Federal Way EOC operations support, the City of Kent, the City of Auburn, WSDOT, and the participants of all operations of Valley Communications. Data sharing would include traffic conditions and emergency response messages through cameras via intranet and/or email. Through the Federal Way EOC messages would be able to be sent out to future DMS with traveler information and/or emergency notification instructions. • Auburn TMC: Federal Way envisions a partnership with the Regional fiber consortium to connect to this system and carry this system to the City of Auburn's TMC. Also see Valley Communications above. • WSDOT Roadside: As mentioned previously, WSDOT would provide Federal Way with viewing access to some of their 1-5 cameras and new technology for the program "Traffic Busters". In turn, Federal Way could share its cameras with conditions on S 320th Street, SR 99, SR 509, SR 161, and SR 18. • WSDOT TSMC: WSDOT and Federal Way would have a center -to -center connection that would be in operation. The "Traffic Buster" WSDOT program connects fiber optics to WSDOT hub at 1-5 just south of S 320t" Street. Federal Way envisions that this would allow future camera viewing internal to Federal Way along arterials that parallel the freeways and ramp terminals. Adding ramp terminals to this system would promote access to the central system of both agencies and coordinate traffic with the ramp terminal queues mitigating backups on and off of 1-5. • King County Maintenance and King County TCC: Federal Way would data share camera images and traffic data with King County Maintenance. King County contracts with Federal Way for maintaining traffic signals. This process would effectively manage signal issues with a shorter response time. King County Maintenance shares traffic data and monitoring with the King County Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 13 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 370 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan Traffic Control Center (TCC). Both agencies would be able to share information with the Federal Way TMC. King County has expressed a desire to operate a regional transportation data warehouse that could be used to "`power" regional traveler information systems, such as a regional arterial traffic flow map. If the data warehouse is developed, Federal Way would like to share data through that channel. King County Metro Speed and Reliability: The Speed and Reliability division of Metro, which works with local cities to deploy Transit Signal Priority, has expressed a need for the technology. Currently, Metro has no automated way of knowing what happens at the intersection beyond the driver's request. TSP equipped signals in Federal Way may be unnecessarily pre-empted without the traffic information of the downstream signals. Deploying this information would assist both Metro and the City to manage traffic conditions effectively. Additionally, Metro buses would have the capability to give travel times on routes to effective measure needs and promote accomplishments in signal coordination with the ITS. • Pierce Transit and Sound Transit: Both agencies operate within the Federal Way. Setting up data stations at the Park & Rides where Federal Way TMC would post traveler information would empower not only drivers but also transit users through the region. Data sharing would be terminals showing traffic conditions and alternative routes that are available and routes to avoid. Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E.

FEDERAL WAY ITS PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS The Concept of Operations and needs identified by stakeholders, combined with other factors over the years, guided the development of potential projects for the City of Federal Way. Factors that influence the selection of projects include the following: • "Trouble Spots", defined as mobility and safety issues, and key intersections on the arterial network. • Gaps in existing and planned ITS deployments. • Locations of key centers, including transportation, event, and employment centers. • Transit corridors. • Communications infrastructure. • Projects identified by stakeholders as future or currently unfunded projects. • Opportunities for coordination between City departments and other regional agencies. 6.1 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Traffic Management projects include those that use ITS to improve roadway surveillance and monitoring, data collection, traffic flow improvements, data collection improvements, and incident response, to improve safety and reduce congestion on the roadway. The following Traffic Management project list represents the recommended projects to be explored for further implementation in Federal Way. Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E. Updated by Fehr & Peers Page 15 5/15/2015 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 372 of 804 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Master Plan TM-1: Vehicle Detection Expansion Project Description: This project is an ongoing program to expand and upgrade vehicle detection across the City via programmed CIP projects. Traditional in -pavement loops should be replaced or supplemented with radar or video detection cameras to provide traffic data and video images back to the TMC. This data can be used to supplement traffic management and congestion monitoring , adjust signal timing, and also share with the public as traveler information. Pre -manufactured induction loops are the most accurate and reliable among detection technologies, and therefore remain often specified. However, induction loops require extensive underground wiring and therefore are the most damaging when installed in existing roadway surfaces. Due to potential surface damage from saw -cuts and trenching, it is recommended that Federal Way allows installation of loops only under new roadways where loops and lead-ins can be placed in the base course before paving. Video detection offers flexibility because detection areas can be added or adjusted by simple commands on a computer screen. Unfortunately, video detection continues to have significant disadvantages because it can be affected by adverse weather conditions, sun glare, shadows, and snow or grime on the lens, which results in diminished detection accuracy. RADAR detection, also referred to as "NIDS" (non -intrusive detection systems) or "Wavetronix," now comes in several forms and can be applied for dilemma zone detection, stop line and queue detection, and general vehicle counting. These systems consist of pole- or mast -arm -mounted sensors and a controller mounted to the inside wall of the signal cabinet. Wavetronix Matrix system which offers the advantage of flexibility because, like video detection, detection areas can be added or adjusted for size and area by simple commands on a laptop or PDA screen. However, unlike video detection, the system is not affected by adverse weather conditions such as snow, wind, or sun glare. Justification: Depending on the size of an intersection, NIDS detection is slightly higher in initial costs than in -pavement loops. The long term costs for maintenance requirements for NIDS detection are lower than in -pavement saw -cut loops considering the negative impact to pavement longevity. Dependencies: This project could be deployed independently; CIP project based, or in tandem with the Communications Plan and Automated Traffic Counts projects. Stakeholders: • City of Federal Way • Travelers • Transit • Local and State Government Transportation Departments and EOC's Estimated Costs: Estimated costs for a full program over 20 years for a city wide program at an estimated 80 signals, video detection, pan tilt zoom cameras, counting loops, controller conversions would be approximately $10,000 per intersection and misc mid -block locations as determined by the engineering analysis.

The main benefits of adaptive signal control technology over conventional signal systems are that it can improve travel time reliability; reduce congestion by creating smoother traffic flow and prolong the effectiveness of traffic signal timing. The systems engineering management plan is a typical part of any ITS project development process and is required on any federal -aid project that has an ITS work element, per 23 CFR 940.11. The systems engineering management plan will include components such as assessing Federal Way's system's needs and its relationship to the regional architecture; defining other specific requirements for the project/system; and defining the operations and maintenance requirements for the system. Justification: • This project would maximize the effectiveness and improve traffic flow along targeted corridors. It would also provide greater flexibility along corridors to adapt to changing traffic patterns, specifically relating to incidents on the freeway. • This project could reduce or eliminate the need for adding additional vehicle lanes by increasing the effectiveness of the existing roadway system. Dependencies: The dependencies will be developed as part of the Systems Engineering Management Plan. Generally, signal interconnect along selected corridors will be needed. Stakeholders: • City of Federal Way • Travelers • Transit • Local Agencies and WSDOT Estimated Costs: Approximately $1,000,000 for phase 1. Originally prepared by Maryanne Zukowski, P.E.

Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 402 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • Auto -oriented, suburban scale regional shopping center, The Commons; community shopping centers, such as SeaTac Village and Pavilions Center; and numerous strip centers. • Big box retail south of South 348 h Street. • Two high -quality business and office parks —West Campus and East Campus. mrm Mr. Mr. WIT • Semi -rural areas, wildlife areas, t steps, areas without utilities, and much vacant open space. • An amusement parks that is a regional draw. • A waterfront primarily occupied by high -quality homes, but not particularly accessible to the public. • Many marginal commercial areas with redevelopment potential along Pacific Highway South (SR-99) that are vestiges of a prior era. Demographics Federal Way historically has been primarily a suburban, bedroom community. It has more households than jobs and as a result, provides more workers to the region than it attracts. However, since the City's incorporation, this balance between homes and jobs has shifted. Based on US Census data, the City's residential population grew by 23 percent from 67,554 in 1990 to 83,259 in 2000, and by seven percent from 83,259 in 2000 to 89,306 in 2010..The City's covered employment Lew by 44 percent from 21,756 in 1990 (^s Fepai4ed by the 2001 King County n rr,,,,1 G,.,....t, Repert) to 31,315 in 2000, but decreased by 10 percent from 31,315 in 2000 to 28,270 in 2010 (based on PSRC's 20W Covered Employment Estimates). that dth-ing the past deeade the City has begtm to shed its "bedr-eem eemmAmity" status, with more oppeftunities for- residents to stay within Feder-a4 Way for- their- efflple�ffReflt, well as b . - I of an employment destination for- residents fr-em beyond Feder -a! The decrease in jobs between 2000 and 2010 reflects the impact of the 2008 recession, which has resulted in an even greater jobs/housing imbalance as shown in Table IV-1 and described in the following paragraph. A high percentage of Federal Way residents that are part of the labor force do not work in Federal Way. The following table compares 2002 and 2011 labor force data. While the employment base of Federal Way has grown, nearly 87 percent of Federal Way's residents are employed elsewhere. This percentage has changed little from 2002 to 2011.

In 1995, Pavilons Centre replaced the old Federal Way Shopping Center, and in 2001 the Pavilions Center Phase 11, a major addition and redevelopment, came on line, with ,r e development at tha4 leeation yet to eeme. In 1998, SeaTac Village was given a complete face-lift incorporating the City's commercial design guidelines. In addition, in the late 1990s, a new Walmart store moved into the City Center-Ffame (downtown), and there have been several renovations and remodeling of existing retail structures, including the conversion of the old Safeway building at the southwest corner of South 320th and Pacific Highway into Rite Aid and the former old K- Mart into a Safeway store. In early 2000, a 45,000 square foot Best Buy opened in the City Center wand a 52,000 square foot Albertson's remodel occurred in the Community Business zone along Pacific Highway South.

Office Development Federal Way's East and West Campus developments set a standard in the region as two of the best examples of master -planned office campuses in the Pacific Northwest. The quality of office development in this these areas is decidedly different than elsewhere in Federal Way and Southwest King County. Since incorporation, T-the majority of new office development has been located within Federal Way's East Campus, which has seen the following deve r,. entr Fess ^rfi^e additional 105,342 s e feet f ffiee (East Campus To,-,-aee) , tide - , s.,.,ieti ,,,. is presently developed with more than 1.5 million square feet of office, not including the Weverhaeuser Cornorate Headauarters and ancillary aeeesse buildings. which total approximately 358,000 square feet. Since ineo--p^r-atio , Between 1990 and 2006, the West Campus area has see saw little new office development. Permits had been issued, but not picked up, due to rising vacancy rates. However, there has been r et* i sod i^tefest since 2006-2007, there has been i- ffiee deve',,,.mefA ,. id an additional 27,575 square feet of office- space maor , rs+,.,,etion i 2006 2007 constructed, for a total of 1,564,306 square feet. Citywide, as of 2012, there was a 24.6 percent overall office vacancy rate. This percentage will increase dramatically once the Weyerhaeuser Corporation moves its headquarters to Seattle in 2016. In the City Center, no additional ^fir; e develop w * only 3,699 square feet of office gge has oeetiffed been constructed since the last comprehensive plan update, and office buildings continue to constitute a minority of the City Center's development. Commercial Enterprise There has been no substantive Business Park development since the City's incorporation. This lack of reeent Business Park development suggests the influence of market forces outside of the City limits, where cheaper land, better freight access, and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development. As a result, in Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-13 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 410 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development 2007 the City l�adopted a new zoning designation, the Commercial Enterprise (CE) designation, which replaces the former Business Park (BP) zoning designation. The CE designation was created in order to meet changing market conditions, as indicated by City market studies and by numerous rezone requests. The CE designation is intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, and retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated, high quality developments;.

Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-18 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 415 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • Young Population — Federal Wa. has population compared to King County and the state. According to the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013, approximatel50percent of Federal Wadpopulation is less than 35 years old, compared to 47 percent for both Kinky and the state. In addition, the median age in Federal Wa. i�years as compared to 37 years for King COX and the state. • Quality ofLife — There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the Federal Way area. These opportunities range from Dash Point State Park, a 398- acre state nark on the west side of the citv: Celebration Park. an 84-acre community park located approximately in the middle of the City with ball fields and walking trails; the Bonneville Power Administration right-of-way recreation trails, and Wild Waves Theme Park, a 72-acre water and amusement park. In addition, Federal Way has a high percentage of affordable housing. In 2012, 35 percent of all occupied housing units were affordable for those at 51-80 percent of area median income, families making approximately $40,000 to $59,000 based on a three -person household, and 24 percent of all occupied housing units were affordable for those at 41-50 percent of area median income, families making approximately $24,000 to $40,000 based on a three -person household. Federal Way has a low crime rate compared to Tacoma and other south end cities. • Location — Federal Way is strategically located adjacent to Interstate 5 between the major cities of Seattle and Tacoma, close to an international airport, and the deep water marine terminals of the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. It is also part of a market area with a population of 3.7 million. Challenges Facing Federal Way According to the City's Economic Development Strategy, there are several key issues that impact the City's economic future. These include the following • Jobs Housing Balance — Historically, Federal Way has a jobs/housing imbalance. Federal Way has a jobs/housing ratio of 0.95, compared to 1.53 for King County and 1.15 for the four -county Central Puget Sound region. A low jobs/housing ratio indicates a housing -rich "bedroom community," while a high jobs/housing ratio indicates an employment center. Federal Way has been a bedroom community to Seattle and Tacoma. This has caused constraints on infrastructure and mass transit systems, and gridlock at rush hours. Through the reuse of the Weyerhaeuser campus and the redevelopment of downtown, there is opportunity to create employment opportunities for the City's residents by bringing new businesses or expanding existing businesses. Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-19 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 416 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • Income Levels — Based upon the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013, 16 percent of Federal Waspopulation lives below poverty levels compared to 11 percent for King City and 13 percent for the state. Additionally, the Median Household Income of Federal Way is $55,872, compared to $71, 811 for King County, and $59,478 for the state. • Education Levels — Data from the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013 identified 25 percent of the population of Federal Way as having a bachelor's degree or better. Unfortunately, this is less than the state percentage at 32 percent, King County at 46 percent, and Seattle at over 50 percent. hi the "Information Age," an educated workforce is tantamount to success for a business. • Departure of Weyerhaeuser — This longtime business has made a decision to consolidate and move into a new building in downtown Seattle. This movement will create a loss of 1,250 jobs to Federal Way.

First, they receive material support and leadership from the mMayor, City Council, and senior City staff. Second, the municipal leadership is willing to work creatively and cooperatively with private sector leaders and businesses to accomplish economic development goals. They have the ability and find the resources to target infrastructure projects and programs to encourage development or redevelopment of specific areas. To do this, they work aggressively to secure state and federal funds for local public and private assistance. The City is committed to the above principles in development and execution of its economic development strategy. Likewise, it-y staff is empathetie towardreeenemie development goalsand knowledgeable abeu4 wefking within City legal eonstr-aipAs, budget eenstr-aints, an staff also has the abili�x to r-eaet and make deeisions quiekly and eeasiste*dy to provide assistance far- private seeter- dealings with the publie planning and r-eg-alator-y preeesses.

In , The City should be has also been creative and open to exploring and adopting innovative regulatory and incentive programs to attract and retain businesses and development projects, such the Multi -Family Tax Exemption. Key among such programs should be any4ea&Ne efforts aimed at predictable and streamlined permitting processes, such as the SEPA Planned Action in the City Center. The City's Role in the Economic Life of a Community In the State of Washington, the direct actions that cities can take to encourage economic development have historically been more limited than in other states.'` ever-t''eless in the past few years sever -a! new and impei4ant tools have been made a-vailable to ieeal ities to help eneoufage redevelopment, r-etaipAt#aet jobs, a -ad foster- "sma# gr-ev" These tools ine Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-27 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 424 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development as manufaeturing investment Ne�withsta-ndiag these state programs, thefe afe still s4staf4ial eenstr-aipAs OR the seepe However, one of the most significant direct actions a city can take is to provide the necessary infrastructure. This includes: 1) developing long term facilities expansion plans for infrastructure such as roads; 2) designing the specific systems and projects; 3) raising or borrowing local funds to finance the projects or act as a conduit for state, federal, and intergovernmental funds; and, 4) forming public -private partnerships to jointly construct projects. Since incorporation, the City with the assistance of state and federal funds, has widened and improved Pacific Highway South and South 320`h Street, both major corridors through the City. This has facilitated the movement of traffic and goods through and around the City as Pacific Highway South is a major north -south arterial and South 320`h street is a major east -west arterial. Second, a city can deliver high quality and cost effective urban services. These necessary services include police and fire protection; parks, recreation, and cultural services; social services and job training; and a well -run land use planning and regulatory process. In an effort to provide high quality and cost effective service, and in order to reduce crime rates, the City of Federal Way formed its own Police Department in 1996, six years after incorporation. In 1997, the City constructed Celebration Park, an 84 acre community park. This has made a large contribution to the local economy in terms of bringing baseball and soccer tournaments to the City, thus benefitingthe e lodging and eating establishments. In addition, a city can actively participate in public/private groups designed to help businesses and the development community as they work their way through the state and federal regulatory processes. Third, a city can directly impact economic development by doing market research or by being a landowner and developer. For example, a city could develop, maintain, and disseminate data and analysis on local development conditions and trends, as well as monitor important trends and assumptions upon which plans, programs, and strategies are based. The City maintains a web site which contains a variety of economic development - related information aimed at marketing the community in order to attract new businesses to the area. In addition, a city can buy land, aggregate parcels, and make necessary improvement so that it is ready for new development or redevelopment. TFor example, the City has ftgtatl)-acquired 17 24 acres in the downtown and will be embarking on developing a Town Center, which includes four components: • Four acres for a Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) (Town Center I). • Four acres for a park (Town Center II). • Eight acres for a hotel and potential development opportunities for office, medical office, higher educational facilities, sma14-retailipig and restaurants, along with arts and entertainment venues. In addition, there is a smaller component for office or institutional space (Town Center III). Revised-2W 2015 1 IV-28 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 425 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • One acre for transit -oriented development (TOD) located east of the transit center and multi -story parking garage owned and operated by Sound Transit (Town Center IV). For some projects, a city can issue industrial revenue bonds or other tax-free municipal bonds. This also allows a city to joint venture with a private sector partners for appropriate development. In terms of indirect roles, a city can act as a facilitator to convene public and private entities to work on issues of local importance and reach consensus. Preparation of a comprehensive plan and Economic Development Strategy ic-aa are examples of this important indirect action. A city can act as a representative of local resident''-s' and businessis' interests in resolving regional and countywide problems such as traffic congestion, housing, and human service issues. A city can also mobilize local community support for important projects and problem solving; and work to improve the overall image of the community and in doing so, make the community more attractive for economic development. Lastly, a city's public investment in municipal facilities, such as city administrative offices, judicial/court facilities, community centers, and cultural and recreational venues can be a factor in inducing further economic development. By targeting a subarea for an infusion of redevelopment investment and daytime population, nearby businesses not only may see a greater captive market, but may also be encouraged to remodel, renovate, and/or improve their establishments. Cultural and recreational facilities, like the PACC, or seasonal activities such as the Federal Way Farmers' Market can also have a wide range of economic impact, from simply attracting residents to a particular part of the city (e.g., city center) more frequently where they may patronize other businesses, to attracting visitors from around the region and country who will bring new revenue to the local economy through lodging, restaurant, and goods/services expenditures.

Page 440 of'804 CHAPTER FOUR - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 4.0 INTRODUCTION Federal Way's vision is to create a sustainable, diversified, and globally -focused economy. To achieve this vision, the City must diversify its employment base. In addition the City must increase the overall number of jobs in order to improve the balance between jobs and households in the City. Federal Way's unique location between the two regional centers of Seattle and Tacoma, both with large concentrations of population and large, successful ports represents a significant opportunity. Federal Way is part of the larger Puget Sound economy, and therefore, economic change will depend in large part on the market forces at work within the greater region. The City is home to -prominent regional, national, and international businesses. The fortune 500 company, Kiewit Bridge and Marine, has an operation center here and the internationally known World Vision is located here. Federal Way is also home to St. Francis Hospital, which is consistently named one of the top 100 hospitals in America. Attractive contemporary office buildings, pleasant waterfront setting and affordable middle-class housing set Federal Way apart from its South Sound neighbors, such as Kent, Tukwila and Renton. Conveniently located along the Interstate 5 corridor, the city is close to Sea-Tac International Airport and the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, and is within easy reach of Olympia. In addition, the City holds unique regional attractions for entertainment and recreation, such as Wild Waves Theme Park, the Pacific Bonsai Museum, the Rhododendron Species Garden, and King County Aquatic Center. Based on the City's Economic Development Strategy, its mission is "to produce solutions to attract and retain businesses, jobs, and investments, along with improving the tax base and enhancing the quality of life in Federal Way." 4.1 POLICY BACKGROUND The City's comprehensive plan is required to be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Puget Sound Regional Council goals and policies of Vision 2040, and the King County Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). The sections below briefly identify the relevant goals and policies under each of those categories to establish the context for economic development planning in the region. The City's specific goals and policies are consistent with these regional goals and policies and are contained in Section 4.5 of this chapter. Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 441 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development Growth Management Act RCW 36.70A.020, Planning Goals of the GMA, includes a goal to encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans as follows, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities: • Promotes economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons. • Promotes the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses. • Recognizes regional difference impacting economic development opportunities. • Encourages growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth. The GMA further states that each comprehensive plan must include an economic development chapter that establishes local goals, policies, objectives, and provisions for economic growth and vitality, and a high quality of life. The chapter shall include: • A summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate. • A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy; defined as the commercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education, workforce, housing, and natural/cultural resources. • An identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future needs. VISION 2040 Revised 2015 The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) has also adopted region -wide goals and objectives related to economic development that will be implemented through local comprehensive plans. The overarching goal of VISION 2040 is that the region will have a prospering and sustainable regional economy by supporting businesses and job creation, investing in all people, sustaining environmental quality, and creating great central places, diverse communities, and high quality of life.

IV-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 443 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development Countywide Planning Policies The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) must be consistent with both the GMA and VISION 2040. The CWPPs promote the creation of a healthy and diverse economic climate. The overarching goal of the CWPPs is that people throughout King County have opportunities to prosper and enjoy a high quality of life through economic growth and job creation. The CWPPs state that each local community will have an individual focus on economic development, while the region's prosperity will benefit from coordination between local plans and the regional vision that take into account the county's and the region's overall plan for growth. There are number of goals and policies related to economic development in the CWPPs. Following are selected policies that are most relevant to Federal Way: EC-2: Support economic growth that accommodates employment growth targets through local land use plans, infrastructure development, and implementation of economic development strategies. EC-6: Foster the retention and development of those businesses and industries that export their goods and services outside the region. EC-7: Promote an economic climate that is supportive of business formation, expansion, and retention, and emphasizes the importance of small businesses in creating jobs.

This includes aligning job training and education offerings that are consistent with the skill needs of the region's industry clusters. Identify partnership and funding opportunities where appropriate. 4.2 SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS General Patterns of Existing Development Federal Way is characterized by: • High -quality single- and multiple -family residential areas. Revised 2015 IV-4 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 444 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • A range of housing that includes modest homes, manufactured dwellings, and large luxury waterfront homes. • Auto -oriented, suburban scale regional shopping center, The Commons; community shopping centers, such as SeaTac Village and Pavilions Center; and numerous strip centers. • Big box retail south of South 348th Street. • Two high -quality business and office parks —West Campus and East Campus. • Semi -rural areas, wildlife areas, areas without utilities, and much vacant open space. • An amusement park that is a regional draw. • A waterfront primarily occupied by high -quality homes, but not particularly accessible to the public. • Many marginal commercial areas with redevelopment potential along Pacific Highway South (SR-99) that are vestiges of a prior era. Demographics Federal Way historically has been primarily a suburban, bedroom community. It has more households than jobs and as a result, provides more workers to the region than it attracts. However, since the City's incorporation, this balance between homes and jobs has shifted. Based on US Census data, the City's residential population grew by 23 percent from 67,554 in 1990 to 83,259 in 2000, and by seven percent from 83,259 in 2000 to 89,306 in 2010. The City's covered employment grew by 44 percent from 21,756 in 1990 to 31,315 in 2000, but decreased by 10 percent from 31,315 in 2000 to 28,270 in 2010 based on PSRC's Covered Employment Estimates. The decrease in jobs between 2000 and 2010 reflects the impact of the 2008 recession, which has resulted in an even greater jobs/housing imbalance as shown in Table IV-1 and described in the following paragraph. A high percentage of Federal Way residents that are part of the labor force do not work in Federal Way. The following table compares 2002 and 2011 labor force data. While the employment base of Federal Way has grown, nearly 87 percent of Federal Way's residents are employed elsewhere. This percentage has changed little from 2002 to 2011.

Based on the 2000 census, with a median household income reported of $49,278, Federal Way had a higher median household income than that of any of the other major South King County cities (Renton, Kent, Burien, Auburn, Tukwila, and SeaTac. However, as the following table shows, based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013, Federal Way's median income now ranks fourth among the major South King County cities. This is likely the result of regional housing trends that are forcing lower income families to move out of Seattle and settle further north or south where housing process are more affordable. Table IV-4 Median Income City Median Income ($) Renton $64,141 Des Moines $59,799 Kent $57,553 Federal Way $55,872 Auburn $55,483 Burien $50,805 SeaTac $46,328 Tukwila $43,331 Source: ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013 Revised 2015 IV-7 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 447 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development Federal Way's Regional Role Federal Way is located at a mid -point in the Seattle -Tacoma metropolitan region at the intersection of I-5 and SR-18, with easy access to the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma and SeaTac International Airport. Federal Way's location is a prime asset as traffic congestion and concerns over personal and freight mobility within the region become paramount issues for commerce and industry, as well as commuters. Nevertheless, the economic boom that is underway, has largely been concentrated in the eastside communities and, downtown Seattle. However, with changes in the high-tech industry, such as increased opportunities for telecommuting; increasing traffic congestion; soaring housing prices; and increasing limits to growth in those areas, Federal Way is in an even better position from a regional perspective. Economic Base Federal Way's retail base is diverse and attracts customers from outside the City limits. Its market share; however, is relatively low compared to other Southwest King County communities. Although Federal Way retailers capture a good deal of the City's primary and secondary market expenditures for general merchandise and food trade, a high percentage of local shoppers go elsewhere to shop for items such as automobiles, apparel/accessories, miscellaneous retail purchase, building materials, and furniture. As can be seen from the data in Table IV-5, in 2012 Federal Way's strongest employment sectors were Services, Health Care, Retail, and Tourism. The percentage of total employees in these sectors exceeded the South King County (Federal Way, Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Kent, and Renton) percentages. The percentage of employees in Federal Way in the Healthcare, Retail and Tourism sectors also exceeded the countywide percentages; however, percentage of employees in Services in Federal Way was a little less than the percentage countywide. The City had noticeably fewer jobs than average in the Manufacturing and Wholesale Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sectors.

After a period of some decline during the great recession, the Commons has new ownership and is in a period of growth. Since 2007, the Commons has added new tenants; these include the AMC Theatres, Target, Kohl's, and most recently Dick's Sporting Goods in the Fall of 2014. In 1995, Pavilons Centre replaced the old Federal Way Shopping Center, and in 2001 the Pavilions Center Phase II, a major addition and redevelopment, came on line. In 1998, SeaTac Village was given a complete face-lift incorporating the City's commercial design guidelines. In addition, in the late 1990s, a new Walmart store moved into the City Center (downtown), and there have been several renovations and remodeling of existing retail structures, including the conversion of the old Safeway building at the southwest corner of South 320th and Pacific Highway into Rite Aid and the former K-Mart into a Safeway store. In early 2000, a 45,000 square foot Best Buy opened in the City Center and a 52,000 square foot Albertson's remodel occurred in the Community Business zone along Pacific Highway South. In 2006 and 2007, the portion of the Commercial Enterprise zoned area located between South 344th and South 356th Streets and Pacific Highway South and I-5 experienced both new development and redevelopment. The Federal Way Marketplace shopping center, located north of South 348th Street, was developed on a vacant 33.5 acre site. Federal Way Crossings and Lowe's, located between South 348th and South 356th Streets, were constructed on previously developed parcels of 21 acres and 17.62 acres, respectively. The Federal Way Marketplace is a multi -tenant complex consisting of 245,785 square feet of commercial uses, including a 203,000 square -foot Walmart Supercenter, banks, full service and fast food restaurants , office, and storage uses. Federal Way Crossings is a multi -tenant complex consisting of 185,156 square feet of retail, commercial, and financial services restaurants; and Lowe's is a 169,000 square foot home improvement center. IV-9 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 449 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development Between 1995 and 2015, five hotels/motels have been constructed in and around the City Center. These include Best Western, Courtyard by Marriott, Extended Stay, Comfort Inn, and Hampton Inn & Suites. In addition, a Holiday Inn Express, Sunnyside Motel (Travel Lodge), and Quality Inn have been built south of the City Center along Pacific Highway. Since the comprehensive plan was last updated in 2007, a number of new restaurants have opened in Federal Way. These include Panera Bread, McGraths, and Buffalo Wild Wings, which were constructed on pads at the Commons Mall. Herfy's Burgers and Stacks (formerly Mooyah) moved into SeaTac Village. East India Bar and Grill, and the Ram moved into Gateway Center. Applebee's relocated from within the Commons to an outside pad, and Billy McHale's relocated from SeaTac Village to Celebration Center. Office Development Federal Way's East and West Campus developments set a standard in the region as two of the best examples of master -planned office campuses in the Pacific Northwest. The quality of office development in these areas is decidedly different than elsewhere in Federal Way and Southwest King County. Since incorporation, the majority of new office development has been located within Federal Way's East Campus, which is presently developed with more than 1.5 million square feet of office, not including the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters and ancillary buildings, which total approximately 358,000 square feet. Between 1990 and 2006, the West Campus area saw little new office development. Permits had been issued, but not picked up, due to rising vacancy rates. However, since 2006-2007, there has been an additional 27,575 square feet of office space constructed, for a total of 1,564,306 square feet. Citywide, as of 2012, there was a 24.6 percent overall office vacancy rate. This percentage will increase dramatically once the Weyerhaeuser Corporation moves its headquarters to Seattle in 2016. In the City Center, only 3,699 square feet of office space has been constructed since the last comprehensive plan update, and office buildings continue to constitute a minority of the City Center's development. Commercial Enterprise Revised 2015 There has been no substantive Business Park development since the City's incorporation. This lack of Business Park development suggests the influence of market forces outside of the City limits, where cheaper land, better freight access, and established industrial parks act as a draw for prospective business park development. As a result, in 2007 the City adopted a new zoning designation, the Commercial Enterprise (CE) designation, which replaces the former Business Park (BP) zoning designation. The CE designation IV-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 450 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development was created in order to meet changing market conditions, as indicated by City market studies and by numerous rezone requests. The CE designation is intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, and retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated, high quality developments;. Residential Development One of Federal Way's strengths is the range and quality of its housing stock. The quality, quantity, and range of options for housing are major factors in business siting decisions. Please refer to Chapter 5, Housing, for a description of housing in Federal Way. Institutional, Educational, Cultural, Recreational Development and Tourism Revised 2015 The City boasts a number of outstanding health care facilities, including St. Francis Hospital, Virginia Mason Clinic, and Group Health. This growing medical sector includes Total Renal Care Inc. (DaVita) and Children's Hospital, which is expected to open in 2015. Built in 1998, the Knutzen Family Theatre provides a venue for professional theatre and the symphony. A City owned/operated Community Center, which offers a wide variety of classes and recreational facilities, was constructed in 2007. The Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department offers a summer concert series at Steel Lake Park. Each year, Federal Way's July 4th Red, White, and Blues festival is held at Celebration Park. Tourist attractions in Federal Way include Wild Waves/Enchanted Parks Theme Park which has a regional draw during the summer; the King County Aquatic Center, which hosts national swim meets; Celebration Park where the nationally acclaimed tournament soccer and baseball facilities draw tourist activities; the Pacific Bonsai Museum, which features outstanding bonsai from the Pacific Rim nations of Canada, China, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States; the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, home to one of the largest collections of species of rhododendrons in the world; PowellsWood Garden, which includes seven distinct gardens separated by hedges; the City -owned Dumas Bay Centre, which offers meeting rooms and overnight accommodations in a spectacular natural setting with stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains; West Hylebos Wetlands Park, a 120 acre wetland park with a large trail and boardwalk network; the Brooklake Community Center, which potentially could be connected to the West Hylebos Wetlands Park by extension of the boardwalk, and could also include an educational/learning center focused on the history of the property and surrounding areas and/or environment; and the Farmers Market, which acts as a gathering place for the community during the Spring and Summer. N-11 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 451 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development The City is also in the planning stages for a 700-seat, 44,000 square foot Preforming Arts and Conference Center (PACC) and associated hotel, which will be built in the City Center. The PACC has the potential to generate significant redevelopment in the City Center. In 2001, the DeVry University opened their first Northwest Campus in Federal Way. This 100,000 square foot facility provides technology training customized to increase employee workplace skills. 4.3 KEY ISSUES AND TRENDS AFFECTING FEDERAL WAY'S ECONOMIC FUTURE Strengths of the Local Economy Revised 2015 According to the City's Economic Development Strategy, Federal Way's strengths lie in its young population, quality of life, and location. Young Population — Federal Way has a young population compared to King County and the state. According to the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013, approximately 50 percent of Federal Way's population is less than 35 years old, compared to 47 percent for both King County and the state. In addition, the median age in Federal Way is 35 years as compared to 37 years for King County and the state. • Quality of Life — There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the Federal Way area. These opportunities range from Dash Point State Park, a 398- acre state park on the west side of the city; Celebration Park, an 84-acre community park located approximately in the middle of the City with ball fields and walking trails; the Bonneville Power Administration right-of-way recreation trails; and Wild Waves Theme Park, a 72-acre water and amusement park. In addition, Federal Way has a high percentage of affordable housing. In 2012, 35 percent of all occupied housing units were affordable for those at 51-80 percent of area median income, families making approximately $40,000 to $59,000 based on a three -person household, and 24 percent of all occupied housing units were affordable for those at 41-50 percent of area median income, families making approximately $24,000 to $40,000 based on a three -person household. Federal Way has a low crime rate compared to Tacoma and other south end cities. IV-12 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 452 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development • Location — Federal Way is strategically located adjacent to Interstate 5 between the major cities of Seattle and Tacoma, close to an international airport, and the deep water marine terminals of the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. It is also part of a market area with a population of 3.7 million. Challenges Facing Federal Way Revised 2015 According to the City's Economic Development Strategy, there are several key issues that impact the City's economic future. These include the following: Jobs Housing Balance — Historically, Federal Way has a jobs/housing imbalance. Federal Way has a jobs/housing ratio of 0.95, compared to 1.53 for King County and 1.15 for the four -county Central Puget Sound region. A low jobs/housing ratio indicates a housing -rich "bedroom community," while a high jobs/housing ratio indicates an employment center. Federal Way has been a bedroom community to Seattle and Tacoma. This has caused constraints on infrastructure and mass transit systems, and gridlock at rush hours. Through the reuse of the Weyerhaeuser campus and the redevelopment of downtown, there is opportunity to create employment opportunities for the City's residents by bringing new businesses or expanding existing businesses. • Income Levels — Based upon the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013, 16 percent of Federal Way's population lives below poverty levels compared to 11 percent for King County and 13 percent for the state. Additionally, the Median Household Income of Federal Way is $55,872, compared to $71, 811 for King County, and $59,478 for the state. • Education Levels — Data from the ACS 5 Year Estimate 2009-2013 identified 25 percent of the population of Federal Way as having a bachelor's degree or better. Unfortunately, this is less than the state percentage at 32 percent, King County at 46 percent, and Seattle at over 50 percent. In the "Information Age," an educated workforce is tantamount to success for a business. Departure of Weyerhaeuser — This longtime business has made a decision to consolidate and move into a new building in downtown Seattle. This movement will create a loss of 1,250 jobs to Federal Way. The reuse of their 430 acre campus, two iconic buildings, and corresponding property provides an unequalled opportunity to bring the next generation of businesses and jobs to Federal Way. IV-13 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 453 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development 4.4 IMPLEMENTATION Attributes of Successful Economic Development Programs Successful economic development programs typically have the following attributes. First, they receive material support and leadership from the Mayor, City Council, and senior City staff. Second, the municipal leadership is willing to work creatively and cooperatively with private sector leaders and businesses to accomplish economic development goals. They have the ability and find the resources to target infrastructure projects and programs to encourage development or redevelopment of specific areas. To do this, they work aggressively to secure state and federal funds for local public and private assistance. The City is committed to the above principles in development and execution of its economic development strategy. The City has also been creative and open to exploring and adopting innovative regulatory and incentive programs to attract and retain businesses and development projects, such the Multi -Family Tax Exemption. Key among such programs should be any efforts aimed at predictable and streamlined permitting processes, such as the SEPA Planned Action in the City Center. The City's Role in the Economic Life of a Community Revised 2015 In the State of Washington, the direct actions that cities can take to encourage economic development have historically been more limited than in other states. However, one of the most significant direct actions a city can take is to provide the necessary infrastructure. This includes: 1) developing long term facilities expansion plans for infrastructure such as roads; 2) designing the specific systems and projects; 3) raising or borrowing local funds to finance the projects or act as a conduit for state, federal, and intergovernmental funds; and, 4) forming public -private partnerships to jointly construct projects. Since incorporation, the City with the assistance of state and federal funds, has widened and improved Pacific Highway South and South 320th Street, both major corridors through the City. This has facilitated the movement of traffic and goods through and around the City as Pacific Highway South is a major north -south arterial and South 3201h street is a major east -west arterial. Second, a city can deliver high quality and cost effective urban services. These necessary services include police and fire protection; parks, recreation, and cultural services; social services and job training; and a well -run land use planning and regulatory process. In an effort to provide high quality and cost effective service, and in order to reduce crime rates, the City of Federal Way formed its own Police Department in 1996, six years after incorporation. In 1997, the City constructed Celebration Park, an 84 acre community park. This has made a large contribution to the local economy in terms of bringing baseball and soccer tournaments to the City, thus benefiting the lodging and eating IV-14 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 454 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Four, Economic Development Revised 2015 establishments. In addition, a city can actively participate in public/private groups designed to help businesses and the development community as they work their way through the state and federal regulatory processes. Third, a city can directly impact economic development by doing market research or by being a landowner and developer. For example, a city could develop, maintain, and disseminate data and analysis on local development conditions and trends, as well as monitor important trends and assumptions upon which plans, programs, and strategies are based. The City maintains a web site which contains a variety of economic development - related information aimed at marketing the community in order to attract new businesses to the area. In addition, a city can buy land, aggregate parcels, and make necessary improvement so that it is ready for new development or redevelopment. For example, the City has acquired 17 acres in the downtown and will be embarking on developing a Town Center, which includes four components: • Four acres for a Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) (Town Center I). • Four acres for a park (Town Center II). • Eight acres for a hotel and potential development opportunities for office, medical office, higher educational facilities, retail and restaurants, along with arts and entertainment venues. In addition, there is a smaller component for office or institutional space (Town Center III). • One acre for transit -oriented development (TOD) located east of the transit center and multi -story parking garage owned and operated by Sound Transit (Town Center IV). For some projects, a city can issue industrial revenue bonds or other tax-free municipal bonds. This also allows a city to joint venture with a private sector partners for appropriate development. In terms of indirect roles, a city can act as a facilitator to convene public and private entities to work on issues of local importance and reach consensus. Preparation of a comprehensive plan and Economic Development Strategy are examples of this important indirect action. A city can act as a representative of local residents' and business' interests in resolving regional and countywide problems such as traffic congestion, housing, and human service issues. A city can also mobilize local community support for important projects and problem solving; and work to improve the overall image of the community and in doing so, make the community more attractive for economic development. Lastly, a city's public investment in municipal facilities, such as city administrative offices, judicial/court facilities, community centers, and cultural and recreational venues can be a factor in inducing further economic development. By targeting a subarea for an infusion of redevelopment investment and daytime population, nearby businesses not only may see a greater captive market, but may also be encouraged to remodel, renovate, and/or improve their establishments.

Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 461 of 804 CHAPTER FIVE - HOUSING 5.0 INTRODUCTION This Feder-dl Way, C-0flip-rehensive Man (FWCP) Hoosing ehaptef:, together- with the La Use ehapter-, is per-haps the most personal eemponeftts of the eempfeheasive plan. T The primary goal of the Housing chapter is to create high quality neighborhoods that meet Federal Way's current and future housing needs for all economic groups and household typeset The Plan does this by preserving and enhancing existing neighborhood character, while also encouraging the development of a wide range of housing types. The Land Use chapter determines the location and densities of that new housing. The availability of diverse housing choices and affordable housing for all income groups is essential to a stable, healthy, and thriving community. Most housing is not built by cities, but by the private sector. However, cities and other entities, such as lending institutions, do impact the supply and affordability of housing. This chapter focuses on the housing supply and affordability factors that the City can either control or influence. Demographic trends indicate a shift in future market demand towards smaller housing units, rental housing units, and mixed -use housing in a lively, amenity -rich environment. The City must adapt to these market trends and preferences to be successful. Currently, almost 60 percent of Federal Way households are one or two -person households. That percentagepected to increase due to factors such as declining birth rates, later childbirth, lower marriage rates, increasing number of empty nesters, longer lifespans, etc.; Additionally, the percentage of the population represented by seniors has increased dramatically over the last ten years and is expected to continue in that direction. Senior households also tend to be one or two person households. This tells us that demand will likely be increasing for smaller housing units as opposed to large, suburban style single-family houses. ^ dditie„ally *The cost of housing is increasingly becoming a barrier to the traditional model of single-family home ownership. This factor will also dictate smaller home sizes as well as rental housing demand. In the next 30 years, the age cohort from 35 to 64 (the bracket traditionally seeking the most housing space) will be cut in half as a percentage of total household growth n,.ofesser- A fd+ ,. C. '` elgg! �. One counter trend that may be occurring is an increase in the immigrant population, which tends to have larger families. These families may be seeking larger, single-family homes to accommodate multi -generational families. Even if this trend continues, it is likely that we already have a large enough supply of single-family homes (and potentially an over- supply if a significant portion of baby boomers choose to relocate to senior housing, small houses, and apartments rather than age in place). In order to address these trends, the City of Federal Way should allow a wide variety of housing types. The City should zone adequate land for senior housing. The r;k, 2 ,,,' alse and facilitate development of accessory dwelling units. The City should consider Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 462 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing allowing smaller lot and home sizes to accommodate young first-time homebuyer families and seniors interested in down -sizing, but stag in their own home. The Q should be developing_dvnamic, walkable, mixed -use neighborhoods with shopping, dining, entertainment venues, and multi -story apartment and condominium housing This type of product is appealing to young people as well as a portion of the senior market4hat desires Demand for housing in urban style, walkable communities has continued to increase along with housing prices in such environments. One way to think of this is if the City desires our Y-generation kids who grew up in great Federal Way suburban neighborhoods to stay in town, we need to start building walkable urban neighborhoods that appeal to them. Providing desirable housing and amenity environments also support development of well-payingjobs. Companies make location decisions, in part, based on ease of employee recruitment and retention. The quality and desirability of housing options is a big factor in attracting and retaining good employees. While the City does not control private sector investment, which is necessary for the development of quali , housing and neighborhoods, the City should take the steps within its power to facilitate development of the types of housing that will create the best opportunity for success. Steps that can be taken (and in most cases already have) include creation of development regulations that allow these types of products, establishment of incentives for certain development types, evaluation of current codes for barriers to certain housing types, and creation of public -private partnerships. No one can predict the future. If the City fails to adapt to these trendsff, the City may see the followingconsequences: loss of key demographic groups to cities that do adapt; potential declining home values due to an over -supply of large -lot single-family homes; decrease in median income as lower income families relocate to suburban environments and higher income families re -locate to desired mixed -use environments; loss of existinggquality employers; and lack of ability to attract quality employers. If the City does adapt, it will be in a position to achieve the opposite result. The goals and policies of the Housing C-chapter are intended to, among other things guide us to success in adapting our housing options to meet future demand. 5.1 POLICY BACKGROUND The Growth Management Act (GMA), VISION 2040, and the King Cam, Coqnj3aide Planning Policies (CWPPs)provide a framework for all jurisdictions to plan for and promote a range of affordable, accessible, and healthy housing choices for current and future residents. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 463 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing 5.1 RAi�1 ,irerr enftc of. fl+e Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A.020, Planning Goals of Tthe GMA requires cities to;�"Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population, apromote a variety of residential densities and housing types." and encourages "preservation of existing housing stock." The GMA discourages "_..conversion of undeveloped land_,...into sprawling, low -density developments" (RCIAL 36.70A.020, 1990 Supp The GMA requires that the Housing chapter include: • An inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected ram. • A statement of goals and policies for housing preservation, improvement, and development of housing. • Identification of sufficient land area for the number of needed housing units, including government assisted housing, housing for low income families, mobile/ manufactured housing, multiple family housing, and special needs housing. This defines the amount of land that the City must designate for housing in the Land Use chapter. • A strategy and policy for meeting the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. • Encouragement for innovative land use management techniques to enhance affordable housing opportunities, including density bonuses, cluster housing, planned unit developments, and transfer of development rights. VISION 2040 contains multi -county_ planning policies (MPPs) that provide a policy framework and numeric guidance for local growth management planningand target setting Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPS) and local comprehensive plans must be consistent with the MPPs. The Regional Growth Policy in VISION 2040 calls for growth focused in Metropolitan and Core Cities, such as Federal Way, particularly within designated Centers, and aims to improve the jobs -housing balance throughout the region. The overarching goal of VISION 2040 is for the region to preserve, improve, and expand its housing stock to provide a range of affordable, healthX, and safe housing choices to every resident, with fair and equal access to housingfor or all people. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 464 of 804 FWCC - Chapter Five, Housing Countywide Planning Policies CWPPs The Goun .,. ide Dlafmi g Peli CWPPs} must be consistent with both GMA, boo' ^ rfifm ^ad supplement the GM ^ and VISION 2040. The overarching goal of the CWPPs is that the housing needs of all economic and demographic groups are met within all jurisdictions. In order to do so, T>,e AW-P-s � Tthey require that jurisdictions do the following regarding housing: . ... . ..... .... Develop stfategies to preserve existing low ineeme housing and provide where feasible—. Evaluate existing subsidized and low east housin r-esoufees a*d identify s housing that may be lost due to redevelopment, deter-ior-ating housing , housing needs, • Address the need for housing affordable to households with moderate, low, and very -low incomes, including those with special needs. The countywide need for housing by percentage of Area Median Income (AMI,) is: 50-80% of AMI (moderate) 16%of total housing supply 30-50% of AMI (low) 12%of total housing supply 30% and below AMI (very -low) 12% of total housing supply • Address the need for housing affordable to households at less than 30% AMI (very -low income), recognizing that this is where the greatest need exists, and addressing this need will require funding, policies, and collaborative actions by all jurisdictions working individually and collectively. 0 Work with other jurisdictions to meet countywide housing targets and affordable housing needs. • Conduct an inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs of all economic and demographic segments of the population. Revised-2M 2015 1 V4 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 465 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing • Provide zoning capacity for a range of housing types and densities, sufficient to accommodate adopted housing targets. • Plan for affordable housing that is accessible to major employment centers. The polioies alsoCWPPs establish numerical housing targets that each city should accommodate, as well as specific targets for housing affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of the county's median family income. The numerical housing target for Federal Way is discussed in the Future Housing Growth section of this chapter. The over-all tar -gets f low a -ad .v,, ,,gate ineeme 1..,,,sing are deseribea below. The CWPPs suggest local actions to encourage development of affordable housing. These may include, but are not limited to, providing sufficient land zoned for higher housing densities, revision of development standards and permitting procedures, reviewing codes for redundancies and inconsistencies, and providing opportunities for a range of housing types. 5.2 FEDERAL WAY AND ITS HOUSING Federal Way, like most communities, has residents with a range of incomes, ages, and household types. The size and t.Te fi.,,,,sing needed by FedeF, l Way fesi a As have - been iner-easing n+Hmber- of people living alone, the rising ntm-iber- of single par-ei4 , households,the various types and eost of housing needed by its r-esidei:As. and iner-easing life span. Fedefal Household and Population Trends Federal Way's population growth has slowed down since the 1980s, when its population doubled. According to the U.S. Census, from 1990 to 2000, Federal Way has -grew grew approximately 23 percent. This i-s was greater than King County's growth rate of 15 percent, but less than some of its neighboring cities. Between 2000 and 2010, Federal Way's growth slowed dramatically to 7.3 percent, as opposed to King County at 11.2 percent. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 466 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing Population by Age The age of a city's population is an important indicator of housing need. Different types of housing are needed at various stages of people's lives. Based on the 2010 Census, Federal Way's citizens are relatively young. Over half of its population is under 3-5 34 years of age; almost one-third 30 percent of this group is under 4-8 19 years of age. This statistic reflects a City with many young families and individuals, many of whom may need rental housing as well as first-time homeowner opportunities. R4&4he-FResidents between the ages of 25 and 35 that -represent the majority of potential first-time homeowners. Federal Way must provide entry-level homes for this existing and future population if they are to remain in the community. Typically, first time homebuyer opportunities are in the form of smaller single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums. Smaller sized ownership units and rental housing are needed not only by this younger population, but by seniors as well. Seniors often desire smaller and more affordable housing, both owned and rentaled, in order to minimize or eliminate yard work/ housework and to expend less of their fixed incomes for housing. Of course, these types of housing are also ideal for the growing number of single person households, as well as for many of the rising number of single parent headed households, regardless of age. Seniors (55 and over) make up eoly eight 22 percent of Federal Way residents, up from 15 percent in 2000. Likewise, in less h King County,4 the senior population grew from pe_ _ o+Aao f ±o� 19 percent in 2000 to 23 percent in 2010. zCountywide, both the number of elderly and its proportion of the senior population is expected to increase even more dramatically by 2025 as the baby boomer generation ages.

S. Census Household Income Understanding the distribution of Federal Way's household income is critical in planning for its future housing needs. A household's income dictates its housing decisions and opportunities. The King County Benchmark Program defines income groups as follows: Very Low Income: 0 - 30% of county median income Low Income: 31-50% of county median income Moderate Income: 51-80% of county median income Middle Income: 81-120% of county median income Upper Income: 120% or more of county median income According to the 2000 Census 2011-2013 American Community Survey (SACS) 3-Year Estimates, Federal Way's median household income was Q^� $53,131, which is less than King County's median of $`� $70,998;, but more than the South King Goun ties' median ineeme f e n c Q cn It aj&&-rankS fourth of the seven South King County cities surveyed.'_ Federal Way's income groups are distributed in approximately a 60 40 50:50 split, with 60 a�nroximately 50 percent of residents with middle and greater incomes and 40 50 percent with moderate and lesser incomes. 1 The South King County cities used in this comparison are Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Kent, Federal Way, rr,..-m a,.

Federal Way h�greater household size than Auburn, Des Moines, and Renton. but a smaller household size than Kent and SeaTac and the same average size as Burien. However, as for most cities, Federal Way consists predominately of one and two person households, as the figure below shows. Three reasons for Federal Way's relatively large average household size is its large percentage (67-6 68 percent) of families, its relatively high number of immigrants (who tend to have large families), and the overcrowding of its housing due to affordability and availability issues.

Overcrowding, defined by HUD as having more than one person per room in a housing unit, is more of a problem in Federal Way than in King Countyaverage in Seu4h King roufft y, although the South King County cities of Kent; and SeaTac,, and have a worse problem with overcrowding. Overcrowding typically results when households have to "double up" in order to afford the cost of housing, or from large families not being able to find an appropriately sized unit. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-9 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 470 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing Special Needs Populations Special needs populations are composed of individuals with physical and mental disabilities, seniors, veterans, individuals with mental illness, individuals with chronic and acute medical conditions, individuals with chemical dependency, survivors of domestic violence, and adult, youth, and families who are homeless. There are ..any people in Feder -a! Way who need housing that is dir-eedy linked to suppei4ive ser-Viees The private market, for the most part, does not meet the housing and service needs of these groups, especially if they are low-income. The need for housing and services is independent of a person's income; it is experienced due to a crisis or disabling condition. Altkeegk However, most who are disabled on a permanent basis, due to the limitations of their disability, usually become very low-income. Special needs populations and their needs are diverse. Some groups require special needs housing for a limited time and others on a permanent basis. Two examples of housing needed on a permanent basis are group homes by —some -for developmentally disabled adults and apartments with supportive services for the chronically mentally ill. The type of housing that is needed on a temporary basis includes confidential shelters and transitional housing for victims of domestic violence, supportive housing for pregnant teens, and emergency shelters and transitional housing for the homeless. Special needs populations require two major ingredients to ensure a stable housing situation: very low cost housing and supportive services. The type and number of supportive services required varies by population and by individuals within each population. Jurisdictions can help encourage an adequate supply of special needs housing by ensuring that its codes and regulations are not barriers to the provision of special needs housing thfouR out the Q.,. Employment Federal Way is more a source for workers than a place to work, aeeerain^ to the Puget 443. Based on the Puget Sound Reizional Council (PSE) Covered Employment Estimates, there were 30,188 jobs in Federal Way in 2013. Thereare30,012 jobs i 2002. This is not enough to employ Federal Way's approximately 60,000 72,443 potential workers aged 4-9 16 or older. However, based on the 2011-2013 ACS 3-Year Estimates, only 47,586 of the 72,443 potential workers are actually in the labor force. A jobs/housing balance is another way to measure if a city is considered a bedroom community or an employment center. A low jobs/housing ratio indicates a housing rich "bedroom community," while a high jobs/housing ratio indicates an employment center. Federal Way has a jobs/housing ratio of 0.95, compared to 1.53 for King Cy and 1.15 for the four -county Central Puget Sound region. This low ratio of people to ohs to is housing is why Federal Way is considered a bedroom community. Approximately -70 69 percent of those 30,042 30,188 f obs were in the retail and service sector. Jobs in government and education accounted for the next highest percentage, with -at almost 42 pet-ee 414 percent. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 471 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing At 15 percent, Federal Way's proportion of retail jobs is twice the regional aver -age equivalent to Tukwila's and is higher than King Copnly's proportion of 10 percent. Jobs in retail sales and service employment typically pay low wages and as a result, these workers have difficulty finding housing they can afford despite working full time jobs. Accordingly, there may be an imbalance between jobs available in Federal Way and the earnings needed to afford local housing. Ironically, this may result in employees working in the City commuting from other communities where cheaper housing is available and higher wage earners who live in Federal Way commuting to other cities for higher paying jobs. Housing Stock and its Condition According to the April 1,�AA4 2 114, Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) estimates, there are 33,249 35,626 housing units in Federal Way. Of this total, 1 4 20,044 are single family, 13,635 14,277 are multi -family, and i� 1,305 are mobile homes or trailers, and 14 are speei l hetising. The majority of Federal Way's housing is fairly homogenous. The housing primarily consists of single-family detached units, constructed in the sides seventies and eighties. A eeer-d g to the 7000 Gen almost 11 per-een4 of these single family hafnes are r-entals, a lower- per-eel#age than th-e eew#y's approximately 13 r ^*. In 2014, there aye -some were eight mobile home parks with over 1,100 homes. and a few There were also 332 duplexes, leeatea in the City. ke with the rest of the housing stock tend&4e-being two and three story apartment buildings. Akkeegl?,,4The number of structures with 20 or more units has been increasing as a proportion of all housing in the last several years. (The composition of this housing is illustrated in the figure below.) Federal Way's housing provides only a narrow range of choices and does not fully reflect the range of housing options that could be built and that likely will be needed in the future.

It affects empty nesters and couples that have raised their families and who for life-style reasons, no longer need or want a large single-family house and the associated maintenance. Young adults, students, young married couples, and low-income workers would like to live in the community where they grew up or currently work, but often cannot find a house that fits their housing needs or c-anno desires, or they may not be able to afford the available housing. Subsidized Housing Included in Federal Way's 33,249 35,626 housing units, is a limited amount of subsidized housing. In-2004 2014, there were 443-442 King County Housing Authority (KCHA) Public Housing units and approximately 8W1,512 subsidized units owned by private non-profit agencies and reserved mostly for the elderly, physically disabled, or those with other special housing needs. In addition, as of February 2004, 1,141 households were renting in Federal Way using KCHA Section 8 vouchers. A household with a Section 8 voucher can live anywhere in the county. The tenant pays 38 28 to 40 percent of their income toward the rent and 14UP KC14A pays the remainder —up to a certain limit. The demand for both subsidized housing and vouchers far out strips the supply.

Revised-2M 2015 1 V-12 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 473 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing Housing Condition For the most part, the housing stock in Federal Way is in good condition. The City has very little concentration of substandard housing, which is typically found in older urban areas. However, houses in poor condition do exist in isolated cases around the City and in small pockets. The King County Assessor's Office provides information related to housing construction quality, which is a good indicator of housing condition. The Assessor's data indicates an overall housing stock of average to better quality. There are a few areas, however, where clusters of buildings have lower quality rankings. Twe stte h areas of toare *'� these afe In Westway, the City and a group of interested housing and social service agencies are working with the community to identify approaches to improve the neighborhood. The goal is to create a model for neighborhood involvement and planning that could be replicated in other neighborhoods. Preventing existing affordable housing stock from deteriorating is a key to retaining existing affordable housing. Housing Cost and Affordability The term "affordable" is not dollar -specific; it is used in a relative sense. T" trrr the ease ' With regard to ownership, an affordable housing payment (principle and interest) is calculated at 23 percent of monthly income. Taxes, utilities, and/or condominium and homeowner association fees are estimated at seeeff 7 to terr10 percent. Affordable rent is calculated at 30 percent of monthlv income. assuming that utilities are included. That affordable dollar amount, of course, changes depending upon the income level of each household. The following table shows the annual income, affordable monthly housing cost, and affordable home price, by household size, for each income group. Unfortunately, housing costs often take a bigger bite out a household's income than the recommended 30 percent. For higher income households, this still leaves enough money to pay for other necessities and perhaps some luxuries. It is lower income households that are negatively impacted if they are unable to find affordable housing. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), y household spending more than 30 percent of household income on housing income is cost burdened. Extremely cost burdened households are defined as households that pay more than 50 percent of income on housing. The concept of Ecost-burden applies both to renter and owner households. Aeeer-ding to the 2000 Census, in Feder -a! Way almost thfee quaAer-s of households eafaing 50 per-een4 or- less of median family ineeme spend ever- 30 per-eent of theif ifleem on housing; almost 40 per-eent of these households spend ever- half of their- ineeme an hettsing.

W Based on HUD's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, which is based on 2007-2011 ACS 5-Year Estimates, approximately 22 percent of homeowners in Federal Way are cost burdened, and approximately 15 percent of homeowners are extremely cost burdened. For renters, approximately 24 percent are cost burdened and 29 percent are extremely cost burdened.

Unfortunately, unless guided by good policy, zoning, development regulations, and incentives, this market -driven response usually does not supply the diversity of housing choices and prices that result in a healthy and attractive community. Additionally, as seen in the mid 2000s housing crash, the private market tends to overbuild at times, resultingin n a cyclic boom/bust pattern. Housing Targets During their September- 25, 2002 meeting In 2012, the Growth Management Planning Council GMPC) adopted targets for new households and jobs for the period, of-21 n � 2006-2031. These targets were based on a methodology developed ever a two yea jefie a by the King County Planning Directors. The adopted 2-0"-242-2 2006-2031 housing target for Federal Way is 44, -M 8, 000 new residential units. The CWPPs alse-adopted countywide targets for affordable housing as follows: • 16% of total housing suDDly should be available for moderate income households —,these -at (50-80% of Area Median Income fjAMl1) • 12% of total housing supply should be available for low income households; these -at (30-50% of AMID • 12% of total housing supply should be available for very low income households; these-4 (30% and below AMID The intent of the affordable housing targets is that affordable housing be equitably distributed across jurisdictions and apply to both existing and new housing. Based on the 2006-2010 ACS 5-vear estimates. as shown in Table V-4. Federal Wa exceeded the affordable housing targets for moderate and low income rentals, but had a shortage of about six percent for very low-income rentals. For owner -occupied units, there were more units affordable for moderate income households, but not enough for low-income and very low-income households, as you would expect. h+4w4-,4The number of units affordable for very low-income households was negligible. and therefore. was not broken out in the table. Housing Capacity As is deser-ibed in the Land Use Federal Way currently has a capacity for 5-,5-3-9 8,442 new residential units, including 3-,265 2,412 detached single-family homes and up to 3 6,030 multiple -family units. The capacity for 4-,44-5 4,880 of those multifamily units is located in mixed -use development zones.

Although no city can guarantee that the housing built will be affordable to all income groups, cities can encourage and facilitate housing that is more affordable using factors it does control, such as land use regulations. For instance, the City can ensure that it has an adequate amount of land zoned to facilitate the development of affordable housing opportunities, such as smaller lot sizes, townhouses, cottage housing, cluster housing, accessory dwelling units, duplexes, triplexes, small-scale apartments, and senior apartments, Addifien4btfThe City should plan to accommodate housing based on demographic trends, specifically smaller housing sizes, and mixed -use housing with entertainment venues in close proximitL Revised-2M 2015 1 V-21 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 482 of 804 -WCC - Chapter Five, Housing Table V-4 Affordable Housing and Targets Income Levels Need Have Rental - Number % of 14,121 Renter Occupied Units 51-80% of AMI (Moderate) 16% of Total Housing Supply 6,275 44.4 31-50% of AMI (Low) 12% of Total Housing Supply 4,430 31.4 30% and below AMI (Very Low) 12% of Total Housing Supply 846 6 Total Renter Occupied Housing Units 14,121 Owner -Occupied Need Have - Number % of 20,111 Owner Occupied Units 51-80% of AMI (Moderate) 16% of Total Housing Supply 5,721 28.4 50% and below AMI (Low & Very Low) 24% of Total Housing Supply! 2,796 13.9 Total Owner Occupied Housing Units 20,111 Total Occupied Housing Units 34,232 Total Housing Units 35,927 Renter- & Owner -Occupied Units Need Have Number % of 34,232 Occupied Units 51-80% of AMI (Moderate) 16% of Total Housing Supply 11,996 35 50% and below of AMI (Low and Very Low) 24% of Total Housing Supply 8,072 23.6 Source: 2006-2010 American Community, Sy urvey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates !

One of the reasons the community incorporated was to have more control over maintaining the character of its existing single-family neighborhoods. The FWCP recognizes that neighborhoods are special places and are valuable and important to the quality of life for many citizens. In particular, new development in established neighborhoods must be Revised-2M 2015 1 V-24 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 485 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing sensitively designed and constructed. Likewise, new multi -family or mixed use development located along arterials running through or adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods should be designed to minimize adverse impacts to its surroundings. Zonina and Development Regulations Jurisdictions place the most significant controls on housingdevelopment evelopment through land use controls and zoning. By a careful evaluation and revision of land use regulations, Federal Way can significantly influence the amount, type, design, and affordability of the housing built in the community. Federal Way, like most urban and suburban jurisdictions. is already "built out"; therefore, the greatest opportunities for expandingthe he types of housing available are in infill and redevelopment, not new development. The first component of Federal Way's housingstrategy tag_ i�promote in -fill while protecting the character and quality of its existing single-family residential neighborhoods. The second component of the housing strategy is to encourage higher density residential uses in the I-5/11ighway 99 corridor, includingthe hey Center. Row houses, townhouses, condominiums, mid -rise residential buildings, and high-rise buildings in the City Center are appropriate in these areas given the availability of utilities and other infrastructure, access to public transportation, jobs, shopping, entertainment, and social and human services. This plan anticipates that during the next 20 years, the City Center and the Highway 99 corridor will redevelop and accommodate the majority of the City's new housinguparticularly multifamily housing units. The area will gradually become a denser, mixed use, pedestrian friendly, high amenity, high quality vital part of Federal Way. The third part of the strategy is to ensure that there is sufficient land available for other housing needs such as government assisted housing, manufactured housing, housing for low-income families, and special needs housing, including gIoup homes and foster care facilities. The Land Use chapter and FWRC provide support for these types of housing. A critical issue in providing a sufficient amount of this housing is to remove any Affordable regulatory barriers to locating such housingthroughout hroughout Federal Way. and Special Needs Housing Strate ies One way that Federal Way can encourage special needs and affordable housing is by ensuring an adequate amount of land zoned to facilitate affordable housing, suGh as allowing smaller lot sizes, townhouses, cottage housing, cluster housing, accessory dwelling units, duplexes, triplexes, small-scale apartments, senior apartments, single - room -occupancy housing, and boarding homes. Subdivision and development regulations should be modified to ensure that land is used efficiently, that the regulations reflect current safety needs, and that they permit and encourage construction of a broad range of housing hypes. For instance, structural Revised-2M 2015 1 V-25 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 486 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing setbacks and street widths could be modified to facilitate small lot developments, cottage housing, cluster housing, and zero -lot line developments. i aa�Since the private housing market mostly targets those earning middle and Lipper incomes, the City should consider providing extra incentives or requirements for developers to build housing affordable to those with less financial resources. The City already requires rental housingdevelopments of 25 units or more to provide affordable housing units. Other programs it could offer include impact fee waivers, parking requirement reductions, and affordable housing requirements in conjunction with transit - oriented development. One incentive program alone is often not enough to encourage developers to participate. For example, a study by the Growth Management Planning Council GMPC), Affordable Housing Incentive Program for King County, suggests that, depending upon economic factors, a density bonus program needs to be combined with other incentives in order to be fiscally feasible. If the City provides incentives, cost-conscious development regulations, and allows affordable housing types, the private market is more likely to provide housing affordable to low- and moderate -income households. However, it is impossible for the private housing market to meet the affordable housing needs of very low-income households, which includes many with special needs. Substantial capital development subsidies, as well as rent subsides. are needed to make new construction affordable to very low- income households. To help meet this need for subsidized housing, Federal Way uses the funds available, such as its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars, to help fund needed housingand nd support services. Federal Way also works with the King County Consortium, neighboring cities, local, state, and federal funding_ sources, and service and housing providers to coordinate funding and to develop and implement effective housing policies and programs to meet future housing needs. Development Review Time is money to a housing developer. Thus, whatever the City can do to reduce permit - processing time will make housing more affordable. As aft of the 14B 1 724 eode revisions, w-hieh wefe enaeted in 1995, the City revised the FWRG so that more land use - The City also has in plaee offers a preapplication yeses conference that allows the developer to meet with City representatives at an early stage in the review process to ensure that the applicant understands City development regulations.

To accomplish this, the City has levels of citizen participation processes. The process used depends upon the scale of the development and its potential to impact Federal Way citizens. Both the public and developers should have a clear understanding of the citizen review process, including the types of issues that are open to discussion and the time frame for the review process.

These goals and policies provide a framework from which to develop implementation strategies and work programs for the community. The purpose of these goals and policies is to provide housing opportunities to all segments of the population -,provide housing_ options that improve quality of life.-; Aattract new residents;; provide new options for existing residents-; and improve the desirability of Federal Way as a place to live. Consistent with GMA, these goals and policies should promote a variety of densities, housing types, and encourage preservation of the City's existing housing stock. Overall Goal Preserve,. protect, and enhance Federal Way's existing high quality residential neighborhoods and promote a variety of opportunities to meet the housing needs of all residents of the community and region. Preserving Neighborhood Character Goal HG1 Preserve and protect the quality of existing residential neighborhoods and require new development to be of a scale and design that is compatible with existing neighborhood character. Policies HP1 High -density housing projects, with the exception of senior housing, will not be permitted in existing single-family residential neighborhoods. More moderate densities such as cottage housing will be e. cider-e are permitted. Revised-2M 2015 1 V-28 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 489 of 804 FWCC — Chapter Five, Housing HP2 Amend development regulations to accommodate a diverse range of housing forms that are compatible with neighborhood character and create an effective transition between the City Center, business areas, and residential neighborhoods. HP3 Continue to allow accessory housing units within single-family neighborhoods in a way that protects residential character, maintains specific design standards, and complies with all applicable laws. Review accessory housing regulations and, if necessary, revise any regulation that inappropriately limits their development. HP4 Maintain a strong code enforcement program to protect residential areas from illegal land use activities. HP5 Subject to funding availability, conduct periodic surveys of housing conditions and fund programs, including housing rehabilitation, to ensure that older neighborhoods are not allowed to deteriorate. HP6 If allowed by applicable law, development inside and outside the City should be required to provide their fair share of onsite and offsite improvements. Community Involvement and Development Review Goal HG2 Involve the community in the development of new housing to a degree that is consistent with the scale of impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Policies HP7 Continue to encourage public input into development of planning and regulatory documents through a formal public process characterized by broad, thorough, and timely public notice of pending action. HP8 Consider the economic impact of all development regulations on the cost of housing. HP9 Maximize effieieney in the City's time delays an e"eases are eliminated. —Continue to provide streamlined permitting processes for development that is consistent with the FWCP and FWRC, and that has no minimum adverse impacts.

Revised-2M 2015 1 V-35 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 496 of 804 CHAPTER SIX - CAPITAL FACILITIES 6.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Federal Way is expected to add 6,489 8,100 new housing units and "'� -44 12,300 new jobs between the years 24" 2006 and 242-2 2031. This growth will stimulate the local economy and maintain a diverse and vibrant community. It will also generate a corresponding demand for new public services and facilities, such as schools, parks, and streets. These new facilities, and the financial implications they will have for Federal Way and its citizens, are the subject of this chapter. The Growth Management Act (GMA), VISION 2040, and the King City Coun , ide Planning Policies (CWPPs) call for a full range of urban services in the Urban Growth Area (UGA) to support the Regional Growth Strategy. They also state that facilities should be sited in ways to avoid adverse social, environmental, and economic impacts. The 137rowth Management Act RCW 36.70A.020, Planning Goals of GMA) refers to capital facilities planning in two of the 13 statewide planning goals. The two relevant goals are: 1. Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. 2. Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. More specifically, the GMA mandates that the City prepare a capital facilities plan which contains the following components: • An inventory of existing facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the facilities. • A forecast of the future needs for such facilities. Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 497 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new facilities. • At least a six -year financing plan that will finance such facilities and clearly identify sources of public money for such purposes. • A requirement to reassess the Land Use chapter if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs, and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and financing plan within the capital facilities element are coordinated and consistent. The GMA requires that park and recreation facilities be included in the capital facilities plan. In the pages that follow, this chapter complies with the GMA requirements for a capital facilities plan. VISION 2040 contains multi -county_ planning policies (MPPs)that provide a policy framework for the region to maintain the health, safety, and economic vitality of our communities. The overarching goal of VISION 2040 is for the region to support development with adequate public facilities and services in a coordinated, efficient, and cost-effective manner that supports local and regional gr�planning_objectives. New development needs new or expanded public services and infrastructure. At the same time, existing facilities require ongoing maintenance and upgrading Tag advantage of renewable resources and using efficient and environmentally sensitive technologies can curb some of the need for new infrastructure. VISION 2040 also promotes supporting the Regional Growth Strategy by locating major investment in centers. Coontywide Planning Policies Revised—IM 2015 The CWPPs must be consistent with both the GMA and VISION 2040. The CWPPs calls for all jurisdictions to work together and consider environmental justice principles when siting_capital facilities. The CWPPs (originally adopted in 1992, and amended in 1994 and 2012) contain a number of goals and policies regarding rding capital facilities and the provision of urban services. Examples of these goals and policies follow: EN-4 Identifv and preserve regionally significant oven space networks in both Urban and Rural areas. Develop strategies and funding to protect lands that provide valuable functions such as, active and passive outdoor recreation opportunities; wildlife habitat and migration corridors that preserve and enhance ecosystem resiliency in the face of urbanization and climate change; and preservation of ecologically sensitive, scenic, or cultural resources. VI-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 498 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities EN-14 Manaue natural drainage systems to improve water aualitv and habitat functions, minimize erosion and sedimentation, protect public health, reduce flood risks, and moderate peak stormwater runoff rates. Work cooperatively among local, regional, state, national, and tribal jurisdictions to establish, monitor, and enforce consistent standards for managing streams and wetlands throughout drainage basins. T-3 Increase the share of trips made countywide by modes other than drivin ag lone through coordinated land use planning, public and private investment, and programs focused on centers and connecting corridors, consistent with locally adopted mode split goals. PF-5 Support efforts to ensure that all consumers have access to a safe, reliably maintained, and sustainable drinking water source that meets present and future needs. PF-11 Require all development in the Urban Growth Area to be served by a public sewer system except: a) Single-family residences on existing individual lots that have no feasible access to sewers may utilize individual septic systems on an interim basis; or b) Development served by alternative technology other than septic systems that: provide equivalent performance to sewers; provide the capacity to achieve planned densities; and will not create a barrier to the extension of sewer service within the Urban Growth Area. 6.2 FUNDING CAPITAL FACILITIES Level of Service Revised—IM 2015 To prepare a Capital Facilities chapter, one of the first decisions a jurisdiction must make involves establishing a level of service (LOS) standard. The level of service standard refers to the amount and quality of services and facilities that a community wants. For example, the LOS for a parks system is usually described in terms of the number of acres of parkland per 1,000 population. If a community has a strong desire for a good parks system, it will establish a high LOS standard for itself, maybe something on the order of 20 acres of park per 1,000 residents. On the other hand, 20 acres of developed parkland is expensive to acquire, develop, operate, and maintain. As a result, the community may be forced, for financial reasons, to accept a lower LOS standard. In any event, adopting LOS standards for all the services and facilities the City provides would help it: 1) evaluate how well it is serving existing residents, and 2) determine how many new facilities will have to be constructed to service new growth and development. VI-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 499 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Concurrency In addition to mandating that a Capital Facilities chapter be included in comprehensive plans, the GMA also introduced the concept of concurrency. In general terms, concurrence describes the situation where adequate and necessary public services and facilities are available "concurrent" with the impacts of new development, or within a specified time thereafter. Concurrency has two levels of applicability. The first is at the planning level and refers to all services and facilities, over the long term, and at the citywide scale. Planning level concurrency is what this chapter is all about. It inventories all existing facilities and services, establishes a LOS standard for each, estimates new facility requirements to accommodate projected growth, and develops a financing plan that identifies the revenues necessary to pay for all the new facilities. If the necessary revenues are not available, then the jurisdiction fails the planning level concurrency test and must take appropriate action. Those actions include lowering the LOS standard, raising taxes, restricting growth, or a combination of these actions. This chapter satisfies the planning level concurrency requirement as outlined in the GMA. The second level of concurrency analysis is project specific and only required for transportation facilities. Specifically, the GMA (RCW 36.70A. 070[61) states: "...local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a locally owned transportation facility to decline below the standards adopted in the transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the development." That same section goes on say that "concurrent with the development" shall mean means that improvements or strategies are in place at the time of development, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years. To satisfy the project level concurrency requirement, the last section of chapter three, Transportation, contains a concurrency management discussion. As mentioned ,Although project level concurrency is only required for transportation system facilities..., , the Washington State Offiee of Gefiffnuflity Deyei,.pme 's rote-pFetatio,, 4WAC 365 195 070[34 365-196-840(1)(c) states that, "...eeaettffeaee should be sought with r-espeet to publie f4eilifies in addition - This seetion goes on to say thm leeal jufisdietions may fashion their- ovffi wplatefy responses "With respect to facilities other than transportation facilities, counties and cities may fashion their own regulatory responses and are not limited to imposing moratoria on development during periods when concurrency is not maintained." The City adopted a Transportation Concurrency Management System, which became effective January 1, 2007. Revised—IM 2015 V1 4 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 500 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Impact Fees Local jurisdictions planning under the GMA are authorized to assess impact fees for development activity as part of financing for public facilities, such as parks, transportation, and schools. The fire district also has a direct impact on their level of service based on growth and thus, is working both locally and legislatively to ensure that they also receive impact fees directly related to growth. Impact fees must be based on an adopted capital facilities plan. In addition, the collected fees must be used for projects that are reasonably related to and will reasonably benefit the development paying the fees. The fees must also be used within a specified time from the date they were collected or returned to the payee. Impact fees may be imposed for system improvement costs previously incurred to the extent that new growth and development will be served by the previously constructed improvements, provided they not be imposed to make up for any system improvement deficiencies. To impose an impact fee program, the City must have a plan in place to make up any existing system deficiencies. �!T S!I:LRtiR!f.3r."P!T. • • Revised—IM 2015 VI-5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 501 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities • 1 1 phasing plat n F :4ion n'tall not e.Ae .,1 beyond their- potential . .,tio Tv.tte- ,.,.,,1 ., vAs shall be de�,,eloped that n ei fy the ., plieable lo..ol pfRe,it n4nr.an -`ln ,.t mitigation, and future afIfIeXa4iE)fI fO - the P,.toPAi.,l . .,ti,.,I .

Federal Way has worked hard to provide the highest LOS possible without raising taxes. It is a difficult balance to maintain and the City is currently exploring options to pay for capital facilities and the associated maintenance and operations costs. If the City decides to generate additional revenues, there are several sources available. Some of these revenues are "on -going" in the sense that the City levies the tax and the revenues are added to the City's general fund on an annual basis. On -going revenues include property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, impact fees, and business and occupation taxes. The other category of funds is called "one time" funds because the City cannot count on having these funds available on an annual basis. These funds include bond sales and grants such as, TEA-21, IAC, and Urban Arterial Fund money. On -going funds can be used for either capital facilities or maintenance and operations. However, it is prudent financial management and adopted City policy that one-time funds be used only for capital improvements..., or one-time spending_ As is discussed later in this chapter, the City proposed two bond issues to finance capital facilities in the Fall of 1995. As part of that bond issue, voters approved a permanent utility tax to pay for the maintenance and operations costs associated with the new capital facilities. The City currently has the following General Obligation bonds as of the end of 2013: Bond In millions Community Center Bond $12.25 Valley Communication Bond $0.43 SCORE Bond $14.33 6.3 1 SURFACE WATER Inventory of Existing Facilities Natural Systems The Ci1y of Federal Way area ,., resists oftwodrains to four major drainage basins;_ the Hylebos Creek -and, Lower Puget Sound.-, Green River, and Mill Creek basins.

Additional surface water system information is discussed in the 2015 Surface Water Plan Update. Forecast of Future Needs results,Based on inedel utility Utili engineers bi-annually update a detailed48 six -year capital facilities plan. The plan identifies projects, prioritizes them, estimates the cost, and re-examines the utility rate structure to ensure that there is sufficient funding available over the next six years to construct these projects (Table VI-1). Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities Table VI -I includes the surface water facilities project list. For more complete discussion of this list, and maps describing project locations, please refer to the City's 201 S Surface Water Plan Update. As noted earlier, these projects address existing system deficiencies as well as the new facilities that will be needed to accommodate projected growth. Finance Plan Revised—IM 2015 The City has created a surface water utility to manage stormwater drainage, prevent flooding, and improve water quality. The City charges property owners an annual surface water fee, which for commercial properties is based upon the amount of impervious surface on the property and for residential properties is a fixed fee per parcel. These fees, VI-9 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 505 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Revised—IM 2015 along with any outside grant monies and low interest loans, provide the revenues that pay for capital facilities projects, and operation and maintenance of its surface water system. As outlined in Table VI -I, projects are scheduled based on anticipated revenues. The capital facilities spreadsheet indicates project scheduling based on available funding and priority ranking. The City bi-annually updates the capital facilities plan for- riff f ee w *�r. to add, remove, reschedule, or reprioritize projects as needed. The r e fflpr-e e fisi .0 2015 Surface Water Plan Update, which includes the capital facilities plan, is adopted by reference in this plan, including changes made during the City's 2014 bi-annual update.

The GMA also authorizes jurisdictions to assess impact fees for transportation system improvements that are necessary to accommodate the traffic created by the new development. In order to assess impact fees, the capital facilities plan must include the list of transportation improvements and associated costs that necessitate the impact fees. Discussion related to Transportation - related capital facilities can be found in FWCP Chapter 3, "Transportation." 6-.3 6.5 1 PARKS AND RECREATION Inventory of Existing Facilities The City of Federal Way adopted the first Park, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan in December of 1991. The City updated the Plan in 1995, 2000, a d 2006, and 2012. This plan, which is now called the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, is incorporated by reference. The planning area of the 7000 and 2006 Parks Plans afe is based only on the City limits of Federal Way, although the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) is inventoried and discussed. As in previous plans, the Parks Plan has been subdivided into subareas, referred to as Parks Plan Planning Areas (Map VI-3), for purposes of long-range planning. The 2406 2012 Parks Plan updatesd the inventory to include new parks and properties added to the City's system. In addition to City -owned parks and open space, the Parks Plan also lists school district, state, and county facilities, as well as private recreation facilities. Map VI-4 depicts the location of major parks and open space within the Federal Way planning area. Table VI-2 summarizes this inventory as of March 2012.

Since that time, the City has purchased additional property and developed new facilities. These include the Lake Killarney Open Space Park, Heritage Woods Neighborhood Park, Wedgewood Neighborhood Park, BPA Trail I, II, and III, Madrona Park, Cedar Grove Park, Laurelwood Neighborhood Park, Brighton Park Open Space, Town Square Park, Klahanee Lake Community Senior Center, Dumas Bay Centre, Celebration Park, Steel Lake Annex facilities, the Community Center, .,,> ieh opened Mar -eh 2007 and the Brooklake Community Center. In 2004, Washington State Parks transferred West Hylebos Wetlands Park to the City. King County has also transferred several properties to the City in the last si* ytaf, . since incorporation. These parks and facilities are described in greater detail in the Parks Plan. In addition to acquiring and developing new facilities, the City has taken administrative actions to take advantage of other available public recreational facilities. The City entered into interlocal agreements with the School District to; jointly operate and maintain school recreational facilities. As a result, the Cityjointly operates and maintains a major community park in conjunction with Saghalie Middle School. Also, the Cit, has agreements to provide recreational programs and schedule play fields at several elementary schools, in addition to middle schools. These facilities are now formally available nights and weekends, year around for use by local residents. As of-2006 2012, the City is was providing 4" 12.52 acres of park land per 1,000 population. For purposes of parks planning, the recommended LOS standard in the City's Parks Plan and this Capital Facilities chapter is 10.9 acres of City owned parkland per 1,000 population. The City's population and size.-rnrthe past, the nCity has --obtained -land cisvugrprui 4edieatien.

This 4wen4oi7y ineludes City oNN%ed paFks and open spa within the City limits. The City currently provides 1066 1141.13 acres of parkland, which the City maintains and operates. Of the total 4066 1141.13 acres, 522.5 601.7 acres is developed for recreational use areas and 543.5 539.43 acres is undeveloped. AWte=Washington State Parks has a regional park facility partially within the City limits, which residents often use. Dash Point State Park is 398 acres in size, 230 acres of -state lla*d which are located within the City, ,� Dash Point State Park provides a regional (statewide) recreation use for camping, swimming, picnicking, walking trails, and beachfront. The state park land is not included in the City's LOS because the state VI-14 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 510 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities owns, operates, and maintains this facility. For- thepur-poses f..af4Es plat ring, the r-eeeffffnended LOS standard in the City's Parks Plan and this Capital Facilities ehapter- is Forecast of Future Needs The 2006 2012 Parks Plan states that the inventory of public park and open space land will be -adequate to serve both the current and future projected population within the City and PAA. However, much of this acreage is un-programmed, undeveloped open space. The primary deficiency, both now and projected, is in improved trails. The wed 2012 Parks Plan makes recommendations based on five Core Values identified through an extensive planning process. Four of these relate to capital facilities and include: Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and Provide for Multiple Functions in Parks Core Value #2: Develop ., Walk4 ,,..,,,d Bik4 g C,,,.,.flun ty Thfough a late. �o a Tr -ail and Sidewalk Network Create Community Gathering Place and Destinations Core Value #3: Retain and Improve 9uf-Open Spaces Core Value #4: Develop a Walking and Biking Community Capital facilities that respond to these Core Values have been incorporated into the Six - Year CIP.

Table VI-3 also identifies the revenues that will be available during the same time period to finance these new facilities. Potential funding sources include the City's General Fund, the Parks Capital Fund, the Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), Grants, and Developer Mitigation Fees. Please refer to Chapter 7, "Implementation," of the 2 " 2012 City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan for information on the finance plan. The City biennially updates its Parks & Recreation Capital Improvement Plan. These updates reflect new project priorities, eliminate projects that have been completed, and add new projects to the program.

In addition to the investments in the surface water, transportation, and parks areas, the City also acquired and improved a basic set of community facilities to house City operations and provide space for community gatherings and recreation. The City acquired Dumas Bay Centre (a conference and retreat facility) in 1993. Strong local support in community recreation and arts activities translated into the City Council's adoption of a 2% For the Arts ordinance to provide funding for arts in public places in 1994, and the construction of the 2-54 234-seat Knutzen Family Theatre in 1998. City Hall, which consolidates most City administrative offices, Police, and the Municipal Court in one facility, was acquired in 2003. The City began construction of a new 72,000 square foot Community Center in fall 2005. Construction was completed in early 2007. The facility houses Recreation and Cultural Services staff, and includes athletic and community facilities suitable for a wide variety of events and programs. Inventory of Existing Facilities As of januafy 2007 May 2015, the City owns or occupies a number of facilities, as shown in Table VI4 and Map VI-S. Projected Community Needs The City has identified a number of facilities to help deliver services more efficiently and adjust to the changing demographics of this community in the future. These projected needs are beyond the City's ability to fund within the six -year planning horizon. However, in order to keep the community's vision alive, we purposely did not exclude any of these community projects. The City Council will periodically review and prioritize these projects and provide funding when available. A description of these facilities with a summary list is provided in Table VI-S.

The entire site is approximately 1.4 acres, with 1,060 square feet of office space and a 61,000 square foot fenced storage yard. The City acquired two adjacent parcels, for a total of 2.25 acres, to the north of the facility in 2003. Today, the maintenance facility contains around �500 4, 000 square feet of office and work space and 90,000 in fenced storage space, with an additional 1.5 acres of land area available for future expansions. Parks Maintenance operates seven days a week, two shifts per day. The space needed for the maintenance operations includes a f ent ,.eui#o,.4eeepfie area, crew quarters (including an area for daily time cards, breaks, and crew meetings/training, etc.), as well as a locker room. Public Works streets and surface water maintenance operations have similar needs for office space; operating Monday through Friday, year round, one shift per day. Both Parks and Public Works maintenance operations tend to intensify during the summer months and require up to 15 part-time, seasonal workers at any given time. Depending on how the City grows and transforms over the years, the maintenance facility may involve several options to provide flexibility to accommodate this change and growth, and continue delivery of high quality and timely City services in the future. The design and construction costs for constructing, renovating, and/or expanding the maintenance facility will depend on the operational goals. Center _ Conference/Performing Arts and Conference Center In 1994, the City of Federal Way Arts Commission funded a feasibility study of a facility to house a cultural and community events center and the desire to create an image and identity for the City as one which recognizes the value of arts and culture as an essential component of the community. Since then the City has studied the feasibility of a performing arts center. The performing arts center would serve multiple purposes including: performances; lecture series; business conventions; visual arts exhibit space; and event space. In 2009, the City engaged Webb Management Services in conjunction with LMN Architects to study the feasibility of an integrated performing arts and conference center. A conference center has the ability to enrich the performing arts center identity and increase visitors through attendees. Based on the consultant's review, a 500 to 700 seat theater would support local arts organizations and operate as large conference space for lectures and presentations. The report found that a conference center should include an 8,000 square foot lobby and conference room and 6,000 square feet of additional meeting space to be used as breakout rooms or for stand-alone events. The estimated cost for an integrated facility i-s was $30 to $40 million. In 2011, the City requested an update to the Webb Management Services report, which led to continued interest in a performing arts and conference center (PACC) on the part of City leadership. Consequently, in 2012 the City issued a Request for Qualifications for a VI-21 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 517 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities public -private partnership to develop both the PACC and an accompanying on -site hotel. Subsequently, proposals were requested from the two RFQ respondents, and in Fall 2012 the City Council chose a development partner and authorized development of concept plans and an initial construction budget, which were presented in March 2013. Based on the concept plan and budget, the City Council authorized development of schematic design plans and an operational pro forma, which were both presented in September, 2013. At that time, City Council authorized submittal of the plans for land use permittin& In February 2014, the Mayor qppointed a Blue Ribbon Panel of experts to review all the relevant plans and materials, vet the financing, and review construction cost estimates, pro formas, and project economic impacts. The Panel's findings were presented in May 2014, leading to a City Council decision to proceed with completion of the design i and construction of the PACC. At this time, the PACC is anticipated to be completed and open for business in Fall 2016. Multipurpose Competitive Sports Center In 2002, the City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) commissioned a feasibility study, the Hunter Study, for an indoor competitive sports facility in order to increase visitors' stay in local hotels and complement the Aquatic Center and Celebration Park, two other regional/national amateur sports facilities in the City. A number of development concepts have been considered, one of which is a facility to accommodate basketball and volleyball tournaments. Based on this research, the facility would accommodate four to six basketball courts and four volleyball courts. The facility would also require parking. One of the considerations for such a facility would be its ability to be financially self-sustaining. It would also ideally be developed and operated by the private sector, with minimum or no public participation. Fiveaer-e site Public Parking Facility Revised—IM 2015 The existing city center development is currently near or at capacity with the required surface parking to business -space ratio. To intensify the development, such as the multi- story mixed -use developments envisioned by the community, additional parking space will be needed. These additional parking spaces would most likely be achieved through structured parking, consistent with tie multi -story mixed -use business space development. With the construction cost of structured parking at a premium when compared to land cost, some type of public/private partnership would may be needed for them to be financially feasible. These facilities could be in part financed with the City's Local Investment Financing Tool (LIFT) funds. In addition, these facilities could be constructed in conjunction with various redevelopment -se �ro'ects, v''�e'' ,r ., er w .. „� VI-22 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 518 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Public Parking Facility Recommendation Designated public parking spaces of 200 to 400 in conjunction with privately developed parking structures for redevelopment projects located within the City Center. Investments will vary depending on the need and type of redevelopment projects at each location. City funding sources would be a combination of the City's economic development incentive fund and other state and federal economic development, and/ or infrastructure funding sources. Financing Plan It While lit ie mabedesirable to have all -theses deliver these facilities in to the community as soon as possible,. However-, the City's projected revenues ill may not be able to support either- the both their construction and required operating and on -going maintenance of these f eil in the near term. Such public facilities ma depend on future private or voter -approved funding sources. The City updates its capital improvements program every other year in conjunction with its biennial budget process. These updates will reflect new project priorities and funding availability. 6.4.1 6.7 SCHOOL FACILITIES This section summarizes information in the Federal Way School District No. 210, 20" 2015 Capital Facilities Plan (School Plan) and adopts the School Plan by reference. This plan covers the entire Federal Way School District which includes the City of Federal Way, portions of the incorporated City of Kent, City of Des Moines, City of Auburn, and unincorporated areas of King County to the east of Interstate 5. The district provides educational programs to all students who live in the school district service area, whether they live in Federal Way, Kent, Des Moines, Auburn, or unincorporated King County. A school outside the Federal Way City limits may provide service to students who live within the City limits and vice versa. Inventory of Existing Facilities Revised—IM 2015 Map VI-6 shows the location of every school in the district. Table V1-6 summarizes the district's student capacity. The district has sufficient capacity in the existing schools and portable buildings to house all of the students in the district. VI-23 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 519 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Program Capacity Revised-IM 2015 The school district has established a Standard of Service, similar to LOS, for itself, which it calls "program capacity." The district's program capacity is based on: 1) the number of students per classroom; 2) the number of classrooms per school; 3) the number of classes that can be held in each classroom per day; and 4) other operational conditions.

There are other administrative measures that the school district could use to increase school capacity. These measures may include double shifting, modified school calendar, and year-round schooling. These measures have been used in the district on a limited basis, but not district wide. VI-24 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 520 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Forecast of Future Needs - Student Forecasts The school district's Business Services Department prepares a forecast of student enrollment annually. Projections are detailed at various levels; district total, school - building totals, and grade level totals. Special populations such as vocational students, special education students, and English as Second Language students are also included in the forecast. The basis for projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. In a stable population, the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. The district uses this method with varying years of history and weighting factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of school system are common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts and treats these statistics as a cohort of kindergarten for the appropriate enrollment years. Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival method. The cohort method becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are made. The school district study of long-range projections includes information from jurisdictional planners and demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. Table VI-7 describes increased enrollment through the year-2414 2021. It shows that the school district's student population will grow steadily every year with the highest growth in elementary. The district has compared existing school capacity with growth forecasts. New construction, modernization and expansion, and additional portable purchases will mitigate the deficit in permanent capacity for the next six years.

Map V1-7 shows Lakehaven Utility District's (hereinafter referred to as "the District" in this section) water service area boundary. Other purveyors provide water to portions of the District's corporate area. The Tacoma Public Utilities, for example, serves an area on the west side of the District's corporate area and the=Highline Water District serves a small portion of the north side of the District's corporate area (Map VI-8). The City of Milton serves a small area on the south side of the District's corporate area that is within the City of Milton limits. Areas on the east side of I-5 within the City limits of Auburn and Pacific are also provided water service by the District Ma V-7 . These areas are at a higher elevation than the valley cities can cost effectively serve. Inventory of Existing Facilities The locations of the District's wells, storage, and other major components of the distribution system are provided in the 2014 Water Plan. The water system includes approximately 450 miles of water main,-24 25 production wells, afid-12 storage tanks..-, and connection to the Second Supply Project (SSP), which provides surface water from the Green River. The average annual daily demand in2007nrv`r'as during the years 2008 through 2011 was abou4 10.54 9.87 million gallons -per -day (MDG). The facilities are described in the following sections. Second Supply Project The Districtpat4ieipates in the Sece^d r✓E aka -aces Pipeline No. -SY-5) is a partner in the SPP (Green River water source) with the Tacoma, Kent, and Covington Water Districts. The District's share of the project provides a water right capacity of up to 12.6 MGD. Due to operational considerations, stream flows, and water quality, the SSP is estimated to provide approximately 7.6 MGD on an annual basis. The District is accessing the pipeline at three flow control facilities provided at strategic locations along its route through greater Federal Way. These facilities allow the District to receive water from and send water to the Second Supply Project (SSP). Those f eil tie together- add an average 7.6 NIGD to the Distfiet's water- stipply, depending "on the availability of water- fr-ofn the green River-. Wa4er- available ffem the SSP is eenditioned upon .,.ao.,,,.,te : st,-o.,,-,-, flows i the !`_,-ee River-. Revised 2015 VI-29 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 525 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Water Quality Prior to 2000, the District has had not had to treat its water supplies to meet regulatory requirements before distribution to its customers. However, in order to meet newer regulations, the District began a chlorination and corrosion control treatment program in July 2001 for all of its groundwater and other- setifees of supply to meet fiewer- r-egttla4iefis. The dDistrict's status with respect to regulated drinking water contaminants covered by the WAC 246-290 and anticipated water quality regulations is summarized in Section 101 "Water Quality," of the 2014 Water S sy tem Plan. Regulations that-a-e have � prompted treatment of the District's groundwater supplies are include the Lead and Copper Rule, the anti .ipatoa r .etm Water- D le, Iron and Manganese Regulations, Arsenic Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rule; fdue to distribution of surface water obtained from the SSP-). To maintain optimized corrosion control in the distribution systemper the Lead and Copper Rule), the District adjusts the pH of groundwater pumped from Well Sites 10/10A, 15/15A, 18, and 19/19A. The District has a4se-installed water filtration treatment systems at Well Sites 9, 17/17A/I7B1 19/19A, 20/20A, 21, 22/22A/22B, 23/23A, and-29 , and Well 334M4 for the reMeVe removal of iron; and manganese, . Arsenic is removed from Wells 19 and 21. In 2006, the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), required unfiltered surface water utilities to plan for and provide water treatment to protect against waterborne parasites such as cUTtosporidium (a protozoan that can cause gastro-intestinal illness in humans). After significant analysis and evaluation, Tacoma Water, Lakehaven Utility District, Covington Water District, and the City of Kent agreed to design and construct a surface water filtration facility for the Green River supply to meet the new EPA compliance requirements. Design of the new Green River Filtration Facility began in 2011 and the facility is scheduled to be completed and operational in 2015. In addition to meeting the federal surface water treatment rules, the filtration facility will also remove turbidity and potential algae that can degrade the reliability and aesthetic quality of the water from the Green River. Storage Facilities analysis,Aeeer-ding to the Water- -Plan, storage f4eilities will remain adequate thr-ough the planning period. For- the storage The District's water system was evaluated during the 2014 Water System Plan Update using extended -period simulation modeling ��as eenduete evaluate the storage draw -down during fire flow events and to evaluate storage equalization during multiple -day periods of maximum -day demand conditions. The storage analysis model was cenduEted using the "Baer Appr-eaehwnieh is summarized in Section 9, "System Analysis," of the 2014 Water System Plan. The Distfiet has installed an emet:geney power- system at its Well 10/ 1 OA Site, and has installed emeFgeaey power- systems a4 its Well 17/17AI17B, and 19,119A sites to pr-eelude the need for- new stefage f ei ith redundant supply, large volumes of storage, and adequate, reliable pumping_ Revised 2015 VI-30 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 526 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Water Conservation Measures The District is committed to implementing aggressive water conservation measures to reduce per capita water consumption. These include programs such as public information campaigns, inelu ing an inclining block water rate structure to reduce peak day consumption, winter -summer water rate adjustments to reduce summer consumption, and a "wet -month average" sewer rate structure. The District is -will be also working with the City to introduce water conservation measures by amending the zoning and building codes. These measures include a requirement for low flow showerheads and toilets, utilizing species for landscaping with reduced irrigation needs, and use of reclaimed water for irrigation. Transmission/Distribution System The results of computer modeling have found the transmission and distribution pipeline network to be very robust. Of particular note is that the fire insurance rating for South King Fire and Rescue improved from Class 3 to Class 2 in 2004. The majority of the District is served by this fire agency. Forty percent of the score for the rating process is based upon available water supply. This rating improvement is a significant accomplishment, as the new classification is on par with the rating held in Seattle and Bellevue, the only other departments to hold a Class-2 rating (no fire agency in Washington holds a Class 1 rating). The pipeline network is continuing to be expanded through developer extension projects undertaken by land development activity. Emergency Interties The District has eight emergency interties with adjoining systems of other utilities. Emergency interties allow the District to buy or sell water with adjoining utilities in an emergency and provides enhanced system reliability. The District has three emergency interties with the City of Tacoma's water system, three emergency interties with Highline Water District's water systems, one emergency intertie with the City of Milton's water system, and one emergency intertie with the City of Auburn. Forecast of Future Needs The Water Plan estimates future need by analyzing existing water demand (measured consumption plus unaccounted-for/non-revenue water loss) patterns on a daily, seasonal, and yearly basis. The District breaks down the water demand values on an "equivalent residential unit" (ERU) basis, which is essentially the amount of water used by an "average" family residing in an "average" single family residence situated within the District's water service area, if used uniformly over the year. The sew six -year District -wide average of measured unit consumption, including unaccounted for water, between 4#W 2006 and 200 2011 was 23 4.4 1231.55 gallons day per ERU and ranged between 257 gpd per ERU in 2006 to 208 gpd per ERU in 2011. For planning PuMoses the District conservatively used 248 . gallons per damper ERU. eempenent, the Distfiet wide average day demand beeemes abetA 255 gallons per- day per - Population and employment growth projections converted to ERU's are then utilized Revised 2015 VI-31 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 527 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities to estimate future water demands. Utilizing a conservative methodology that disregards the impact of the District's water conservation efforts, the Water Plan estimates average day demands will increase from 10.56 11.43 MGD in 204-0 2014, to 11. 90 13.03 MGD in 241-2 2024, and to 13.76 14.3 MGD in 2425 2034. Expanded and Improved Facilities The District has programmed a number of system improvements to maintain and expand the existing water system. These improvements are summarized below. Groundwater Resources The Dist-Fiet is deN,elepiag an additional pr-oduetion well (Well No. 33) to be added to the Well 19 wa4er- r4glit pe . The District is continuing to pursue its OASIS (Optimization of Aquifer Storage for Increased Supply) project, under the ASR (Aquifer Storage and Recovery) concept. The OASIS feasibility study determined that the Mirror Lake Aquifer can be used to store up to approximately 9.4 billion gallons of water filled over the winter from excess water supply and withdrawn over the drier summer months for water supply purposes. Combining funding from its wastewater utility, the District is also pursuing its Water Reuse/Reclamation Program, utilizing wastewater suitably treated at the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant, conveyed through a separate pipeline system, and utilized for beneficial purposes, such as augmenting groundwater supplies. Second Supply Pipeline Improvements afe being continue to be implemented mat the Howard Hanson Dam on the Green River that l in order to expand storage behind4t the dam;_whieh This will help mitigate the seasonal variation in available water by increasing in -stream flows during the drier parts of the year.

Significant investments are also contemplated to relocate existing pipelines that will conflict with infrastructure resulting from street improvement projects undertaken by other agencies within the District's water service area. Revised 2015 VI-32 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 528 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Finance Plan A utility undertakes a capital program for many different reasons, including: expanding the capacity of its systems, maintaining the integrity of existing systems, and addressing regulatory requirements. The District is required to eemply develMwith its own Water Plan and to support regional decisions on population growth and land use. The District has identified several significant capital improvement projects in its 2014 Water Plan. The scheduling of these projects is included in the District's most recent Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that is developed and approved annually. The District has access to sufficient funds that can be utilized for operation and maintenance of its existing facilities, and for pursuing capital projects. In addition, the District has depreciation, interest income, assessment income, and connection charge monies that it can utilize for funding the CIP. Additionally, the District can also borrow money or iaer-ease adjust rates, if necessary, to best meet the needs of its customers. The District has utilized a very conservative approach in budgeting for the CIP by utilizing the growth projections developed by each of the land use jurisdictions located within the District. The District will provide facilities as required to support growth within its service area. The schedule and project costs will be updated annually through the District's budget and capital improvement program process. 6.4.3 6.91 SEWER SYSTEMS This section summarizes the Lakehaven Utility District's 2009 Comprehensive Wastewater System Plan (Wastewater Plan, incorporated in full by reference), :^gig fnedifieations made to it dffeugh the first figur- amendments [Amendment No. 4 was 1 adopted on Febmary 9, 2006], and any futtffe amendments) was last updated in 1999 while providing up-to-date information where warranted.

The Lakehaven Utility District's (hereinafter referred to as "the District" in this section) sewer area is located in the southwest portion of King County, including the unincorporated areas east of the existing City limits of Federal Way. Map VI-9 shows the District's sewer service area. Other utilities provide retail sewer service to relatively small portions of the District's corporate area, including Midway Sewer District on the north side of the District, the City of Auburn on the east side of the District, and the City of Milton/Pierce County on the south side of the District. In addition, other utilities provide conveyance and treatment services to portions of the District's retail sewer service area, including Midway Sewer District, Metro/King County, Pierce County, and the City of Tacoma. As of the end of 2007, the District was serving a residential population of approximately 114,000 120,100 through 2+500 27,000 connections. Lakehaven also provides by contract the operation and maintenance requirements for most of the sewer facilities within the City of Ed eg wood. Revised 2015 VI-33 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 529 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Inventory of Existing Facilities The sanitary sewer system is comprised of three major components: the trunk collection system, the pump station system, and the wastewater treatment and disposal system. The trunk system collects wastewater from drainage basins and conveys it to the treatment facilities, primarily by gravity flow. In areas where the use of gravity flow is not possible, pump stations and force mains are used to pump the sewage to a location where gravity flow can be used. The locations of the major components are provided in the 2009 Wastewater Plan. The existing collection system operated and maintained by the District consists of approximately 340 miles of sanitary sewer pipe, 28 pump stations, six siphons, and two secondary wastewater treatment plants, namely the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Redondo Wastewater Treatment Plant. The system has been constructed over a number of years, as dictated by development trends in the area. The system is currently divided into �e�ei� six primary basins and 40 smaller sub -basins. The wastewater generated within the two largest basins, Lakota and Redondo, flow to the District's wastewater treatment plants. The remaining fi-ve four basins currently discharge to the other utilities for treatment and disposal, as mentioned above. The District currently has the capacity in all the major components of the system to accommodate the existing demand for sanitary sewer service. The ,, rite., 4er- treat MIM Forecast of Future Needs Population forecasts are based on the adopted land use plans of the various jurisdictions within which the District operates. The population figures are presented by drainage basin to allow for evaluation of the system and consideration of future improvement alternatives. The population within the District's sewer service area is projected to increase to nearly 127,000 139,970 by-20292030, approaching the projected "ultimate" population of Revised 2015 VI-34 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 530 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities 490,000 273,430 based upon land capacity. An estimated 7,500 on -site wastewater disposal systems are in operation within the District's corporate boundary. It is anticipated that sewer service will be extended to these "unsewered" areas as on -site systems become less viable to maintain and/or when new development requires public sewers. The average base daily flow tributary to the District's two wastewater treatment plants, excluding infiltration and inflow (I & 1), is currently estimated at -7-.2 6.71 MGD and is expected to increase to nearly 9.4 9.06 MGD by 20,1- 8 2030, and nearly 4-7-.0 17.24 MGD at full development. Peak hourly flows tributary to the District's two wastewater treatment plants, including I & 1, are currently estimated at 2" 30.3 MGD, and are expected to increase to nearly 244 45.75 MGD by 20.18 2030, and 40-9 67.11 MGD at full development. Hydraulic capacity at both wastewater treatment plants is estimated to be available up to the original design peak hour capacities of 2210 MGD for Lakota and 13.8 MGD for Redondo. Expanded and Improved Facilities The District hashed completed construction feT- on the rehabilitation and lengthening of the Redondo Wastewater Treatment Plant's outfall pipeline that discharges treated wastewater into Puget Sound. prejest to replace The old biosolids dewatering equipment was replaced with new, more efficient equipment to help reduce operating costs is . The District is pursuing many other projects to improve the performance of the facilities (energy conservation, water quality, biosoild quality, reduced maintenance, etc.). Combining funding from its water utility, the District is also has long-range plans for its Water Reuse/Reclamation Project, utilizing wastewater suitably treated at the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant, conveyed through a separate pipeline system, and utilized for beneficial purposes, such as augmenting groundwater supplies. Additional new and expanded sewer facilities are planned to divert additional fiew to its •% *ream ent f eili es tha4 :s existingflows ows currently being conveyed to other utilities for treatment to its own treatment facilities (new Pump Station No. 44 and expanded Pump Station No. 33b). On -site emergency generators are pla+med now in place at other existing pump stations (Pump Stations No. 12, 37 and 41) to allow their continuous operation during a commercial power outage. The District is continuing to approve new pressure sewer collection systems to -as an alternative to gravity systems to provide sewer service availability to residents in established neighborhoods, particularly those around lakes. Finance Plan A utility undertakes a capital program for many different reasons, including: expanding the capacity of its systems, maintaining the integrity of existing systems, and addressing regulatory requirements. The District is required to eemply wito develop its own Wastewater Plan and to support regional decisions on population growth and land use. Revised 2015 VI-35 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 531 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities The District has identified several significant capital improvement projects in its 2009 Wastewater Plan. The scheduling of these projects is included in the District's most current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that is developed and approved annually. The District has access to sufficient funds that can be utilized for operations and maintenance of its existing facilities, and for pursuing capital projects. In addition, the District has depreciation, interest income, assessment income, and connection charge monies that it can utilize for funding the CIP. Additionally, the District can borrow money or'r Ad iust rates, if necessary, to best meet the needs of its customers. The District has utilized a very conservative approach in budgeting for the CIP by utilizing the growth projections developed by each of the land use jurisdictions located within the District. The District will provide facilities as required to support growth within its service area. The schedule and project costs will be updated annually through the District's budget and capital improvement program process. 6.4.46. FIRE FACILITIES This section summarizes the South King Fire and Rescue Strategic Leadership Plan, and the department's subsequent updates. The fire department provides service to the entire City of Federal Way, the entire City of Des Moines, and surrounding unincorporated area. Total population in the department's service area is approximately 150,000 citizens. Services include fire suppression, fire prevention (building inspection and public information), emergency medical, hazardous materials responses, public education, emergency management, and rescue emergencies (special operations). South King Fire and Rescue has a contract with the City of Federal Way and Valley Communications for the provision of emergency 911 communications, wherein they act together with the City as a part owner of Valley Communications. The South King Fire and Rescue Strategic Leadership Plan identifies and programs improvements that are necessary to maintain existing service standards and to meet the needs of future residents and businesses. The plan and future updates are adopted by reference into the FWCP. The fire department provides fire suppression service to the entire City. In order to do this, the department has adopted LOS standards found in the South King Fire and Rescue Resolution Number 413. • Each emergency fire response should include a minimum of 15 trained and equipped firefighters and apparatus commensurate with the emergency (a standard response of four engines, one ladder truck, and one command vehicle are sent on all structural incidents). • Each emergency medical response should include a minimum of one response vehicle and three fully -equipped and fully -trained crew members on a responding engine company, or two crew members on an aid car (either an engine or an aid car, or a combination of both, can be sent on the response depending upon the severity). Revised 2015 VI-36 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 532 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities • The fire department provides a full building inspection service for fire code compliance. The department is currently providing service that is generally consistent with its adopted LOS standards. The fire department also depends on having adequate water pressure available in fire hydrants to extinguish fires. The department works with the Lakehaven Utility District, Highline Water District (in the City of Des Moines), and other water utilities within its corporate limits, to ensure that adequate "fire flow" is always available. Lakehaven Utility District's Water System Plan analyzes "fire flow" rates available at different points in its water system, and programs improvements to the water system to ensure that sufficient water is available for fire suppression. Emergency Medical Services Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responds to 911 calls and provides field services. This service is paid for by property taxes. EMS is provided as a marginal cost to the fire department as fire facilities are utilized to provide this service to the community. The fire department replaces its five front line aid cars, of which saf&three are staffed on a normal basis, commensurate with its capital replacement plan and capital reserves system. The section on funding (Funding Plan) addresses how the ongoing replacement purchase of these aid cars will be funded. Inventory and Capacity of Existing Facilities The department has two major types of capital facilities. One is fire stations and the other is capital investment in equipment and, in particular, fire engines. The department's fire stations are shown on Map VI-10. Forecast of Future Needs From 1986 through 1992, emergency responses increased at an average annual rate of over eight percent. In 1990, public education efforts included 911-use/abuse training. The increases in call volume during 1993 and 1994 leveled off with 1994 volume increasing only 1.5 percent from the 1992 level. It is unknown, however, how much, if any, effect the 911 public education effort had on actual call volumes. In 1995 and 1996, calls for service again increased at an average rate of 8.1 percent. Although calls actually decreased slightly in 1997, call volumes increased by 14 percent in 1998. By 2013, call volumes had exceeded 16,000 for the year. The call data indicates a fairly steady increase of approximately six percent per year. Emergency medical incidents have increased more rapidly than non -medical incidents. . Structure fires have declined since the 1990s; however, emergency medical incidents Revised 2015 VI-37 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 533 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities have steadily increased. It is unknown what the impact of the Affordable Health Care Act will have on call volumes. The challenge for the fire department will be to manage fixed - cost investments, such as new stations, and to be flexible in its ability to meet fluctuating call volumes. Location and Capacity of Expanded or New Facilities The Federal Way Fire Department (King ounty Fire Protection District #39) has existed since 1949. In the early 1990s, the City of Federal Way annexed into the fire district via a public vote, thus empowering the stand alone fire district the ability to provide fire and EMS services to the newly formed city as a municipal corporation governed by an elected Board of Fire Commissioners. In September of 2005, the citizens within the City of Des Moines (protected by King County Fire Protection District #26) voted overwhelmingly to merge with the Federal Way Fire Department (King County Fire Protection District #39). The City of Des Moines had previously annexed into King #26, just like the City of Federal Way's annexation into King #39. The result of this merger caused the name of the fire department to change from the Federal Way Fire Department to its present South King Fire and Rescue. The legal name for the fire district is actually King County Fire Protection District #39 (KCFPD #39), although the department does business as South King Fire and Rescue. South King Fire and Rescue operates out of eight stations, seven of which are response stations with the eighth being a training and maintenance facility. Two of the eight stations are located within the City of Des Moines, two stations lie within unincorporated King County, and four are located with the City of Federal Way. , thet The fire department responds on appf ..,:.,.,atel , more than 16,000 emergencies annually. The department may have need for an additional station in the near future in the south end of the City in the vicinity of 356th and Pacific Highway; , possibly a little raer-e Aft i the . o a f South336-th Aff- -34Sth .Arid n.,,.; fie 14igl wa-y Soutti ifthis are eE)atifines The department anticipates that the calls for service in the south end of the district will also continue to grow. In this eventuality, an additional station may be needed to maintain acceptable response times. The department has acquired property in the area of 356t' and Pacific Highway South through a swap of properties with Lakehaven Utility District to assure future availability of a station site. Any new station should be able to accommodate an on -duty crew of three fire fighters, with appropriate living and sleeping_ Quarters. In addition, the structure should be able to house two engines and an aid car, with room for growth dictated by LOS demands. It may be appropriate to provide a public meeting room and an office for community policing in new facilities. The cost of these facilities is approximately $6,000,000. Equipment would be in the range of $1,000,000 for a new station. The fire department does not presently have a timeline for construction of the new fire station, as it would likely require a voter approved bond issue for funding.

Any future development would likely be predicated upon community needs and funded through a voter -approved bond issue in the future. Funding Plan The fire department has established a capital reserve fund for the systematic replacement of all capital equipment..., which took a hit during the recession of 2008-2012. These reserves am were funded from the annual revenues of the department. As the economy recovers. the capital reserve system will be funded and become active once again. To bridge the gap created by the recession as related to the capital and equipment needs of the district. a voter-annroved bond issue will likelv be placed in front of the electorate in the 2015-2017 time frame. The department also has established a long term goal of a minimum of four -paid fire fighters on each fire apparatus (this is the national standard adopted by NFPA 1710). Additional staff that is hired in support of that goal will be funded from either new construction levies or additional voter -approved levies. The department has not established any funds for purchase of new stations or associated equipment. These purchases would require voter -approved bonds. In the department's annually adopted budget, capital projects are identified. This capital projects list is up -dated based on completed projects and changing priorities. The FWCP Revised 2015 VI-39 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 535 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities adopts by reference the South King Fire and Rescue Strategic Leadership Plan, as well as the annual capital improvements program update. Additionally, the department is seeking to receive impact fees based upon growth within the community, which directly affects its level of service. This is being sought both locally and legislatively, as fire districts have to manage growth the same as schools and other public facilities. If successful, impact fees could assist in offsetting the capital costs of added infrastructure. 6.9.21 GOALS AND POLICIES The goals and policies in this section implement the requirements of the GMA, VISION 2040 and the CWPPs. The City of Federal Way takes responsibility for implementing only those goals and policies for services provided by the City. Special service districts, such as the Federal Way sSchool District, ut4ityLakehaven, and fire South King Fire and Rescue, must implement goals and policies that are consistent with their respective plans. The City does intend, however, to closely coordinate the City's plan with these service districts so that the citizens of Federal Way receive the highest level of service possible. Goal CFG1 Annually update the Capital Facilities Plan to implement the FWCP by coordinating urban services, land use decisions, level of service standards, and financial resources with a fully funded schedule of capital improvements. Policies CFP1 Provide needed public facilities and services to implement the FWCP. CFP2 Support and encourage joint development and use of community facilities with other governmental or community organizations in areas of mutual concern and benefit. CFP3 Emphasize capital improvement projects that promote the conservation, preservation, redevelopment, orand revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential areas in Federal Way. CFP4 Adopt by reference all facilities plans and future amendments prepared by other special districts that provide services within the City. These plans must be consistent with the FWCP. Revised 2015 V1 40 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 536 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities CFP5 Adopt by reference the annual update of the Federal Way Capital Improvement Program for parks/recreation, surface water management, and the Transportation Improvement Program. CFP6 Protect investments in existing facilities through an appropriate level of fundin>; for maintenance and eper-mie operations. CFP7 Maximize the use of existing public facilities and promote orderly compact urban growth. Goal CFG2 To meet current needs for capital facilities in Federal Way, correct deficiencies in existing systems, and replace or improve obsolete facilities. Balancing existing capital facilities needs with the need to provide additional facilities to serve growth is a major challenge for Federal Way. It is important to maintain our prior investments as well as serve new growth. Glea4y, Feder -a! Way pokey makers. Policies CFP8 Give priority consideration to projects mandated by local, state, and federal law; CFP9 Give priority consideration to subsequent phases of phased projects when phase one is fully funded and under construction. CFP10 Give priority consideration to projects that renovate existing facilities and preserve the community's prior investment or reduce maintenance and operating costs. CFP11 Give priority consideration to projects that correct existing capital facilities deficiencies, encourage full utilization of existing facilities, or replace worn out or obsolete facilities. CFP12 Give priority to projects where leveraged monies such as grants and low interest loans can be used. Goal CFG3 Provide capital facilities to serve and direct future growth within Federal Way and its Potential Annexation Area as they °further develop. It is crucial to identify, in advance of development, sites for schools, parks, fire and police stations, major stormwater facilities, greenbelts, open space, and road connections. Acquisition of sites for these facilities must occur in a timely manner and as early as possible in the overall development of the area. Otherwise, acquisition opportunities will be missed, with long-term functional or financial implications. Revised 2010 GAMMI RILF Fadilies2015 V1 41 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 537 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Policies CFP13 Provide the capital facilities needed to serve the future growth anticipated by the FWCP. CFP14 Coordinate efforts between the Public Works and Parks Departments in the acquisition of and planning for public open space, recreation, public education, and stream preservation within the Hylebos Basin. Departments may combine resources as appropriate to increase project efficiencies and success rates in pursuit of grant opportunities. CFP15 Give priority consideration to projects needed to meet concurrency requirements for growth management. CFP16 Plan and coordinate the location of public facilities and utilities in advance of need. CFP17 Implement a concurrency management system which permits project approval only after a finding is made that there is capacity available in the transportation system sufficient to maintain the adopted level of service standard. CFP18 The provision of urban services shall be coordinated to ensure that areas identified for urban expansion are accompanied with the maximum possible use of existing facilities and cost effective service provisions and extensions while ensuring the protection and preservation of resources. CFP19 Coordinate future economic activity with planning for public facilities and services. CFP20 Purchase property in the Potential Annexation Area and keep it in reserve for future City parks and surface water facilities. CFP21 Consider public/private partnerships to leverage structured parking in association with City Center development or redevelopment, in fulfillment of comprehensive plan vision and goals. Goal CFPG4 Provide adequate funding for capital facilities in Federal Way to ensure the FWCP vision and goals are implemented. The GMA requires that the Land Use chapter be reassessed if funding for capital facilities falls short of needs. The intent is to ensure that necessary capital facilities are available prior to, or concurrently with new growth and development. Capital facilities plans must show a balance between costs and revenues. There are essentially five options available for balancing the capital facilities budget: increase revenues, decrease level of service standards, decrease the cost of the facilities, decrease the demand for the public service, or reduce the rate of growth and new development. Revised 2010 GAMMI Rily Fadi#as2015 V1 42 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 538 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities Policies CFP22 Manage the City of Federal Way's fiscal resources to support providing needed capital improvements. Ensure a balanced approach to allocating financial resources between: 1) major maintenance of existing facilities; 2) eliminating existing capital facility deficiencies; and 3) providing new or expanding existing facilities to serve new growth. CFP23 Use the Capital Facilities Plan to integrate all of the community's capital project resources including grants, bonds, general funds, donations, impact fees, and any other available funding. CFP24 Ensure that long-term capital financing strategies and policies are consistent with all the other FWCP chapters. CFP25 Pursue funding strategies that require new growth and development to pay its fair share of the cost of facilities that are required to maintain adopted level of service standards. One such strategy that should be implemented in the near term is an impact fee program for parksand tfaaspert�ien. CFP26 Promote a more efficient use of all public facilities by enacting interlocal agreements which facilitate joint maintenance and operations of those facilities. CFP27 Use the following available contingency strategies should the City be faced with capital facility funding shortfalls: ■ Increase revenues by selling general obligation bonds, enacting utility taxes, imposing impact fees, and/or raising property tax levy rates. ■ Decrease level of service standards to a level that is more affordable. ■ Decrease the cost oftke a proposed -facility by changing or modifying the scope of the project. ■ Decrease the demand for the service or facilities by establishing a moratorium on development, focusing development into areas where facility capacity is available, or changing project timing and/or phasing. CFP28 Aggressively pursue grants or private funds when available to finance capital facility projects. CFP29 Maximize the usefulness of bond funds by using these monies to the greatest extent possible as matching funds for grants. Goal CFPG5 Ensure that the Federal Way Capital Facilities Plan is current and responsive to the community vision and goals. The role of monitoring and evaluation is vital to the effectiveness of any planning program and particularly for the Capital Facilities chapter. The City's revenues and Revised 2015 V1 43 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 539 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities expenditures are subject to economic fluctuations and are used to predict fiscal trends in order to maintain the City's adopted level of service for public facilities. This Capital Facilities Plan will be _reviewed and amended in accordance with state update requirements to verify that fiscal resources are available to provide public facilities needed to support adopted LOS standards. Policies CFP30 Monitor the progress of the Capital Facilities Plan on an ongoing basis, including the completion of major maintenance projects, the expansion of existing facilities, and the addition of new facilities. Evaluate this progress with respect to trends in the rate and distribution of growth, impacts upon service quality, and FWCP direction. CFP31 Review, update, and amend the Capital Facilities Planannually in accordance with state update requirements. Respond to changes in the rates of growth, new development trends, and changing City priorities, budget, and financial considerations. Make provisions to reassess the FWCP periodically in light of the evolving Capital Facilities Plan. Take appropriate action to ensure internal consistency of the chapters in the plan. CFP32 Continue to coordinate with other capital facility and service providers to ensure that all necessary services and facilities are provided prior to or concurrent with new growth and development. Goal CFPG6 Manage the Surface Water Utility in a manner that makes efficient use of limited resources to address the most critical problems first, and which expresses community values and priorities. Policies CFP33 The utility shall continue to have a role in developing and implementing regional, state, and federal surface water policies and programs and, in doing so, shall seek to: ■ Achieve the City's environmental goals. ■ Contain utility ratepayer costs. ■ Ensure state and federal requirements are achievable. ■ Maintain local control and flexibility in policy/program implementation. The utility's role in developing and implementing regional, state, and federal surface water policies and programs will include: Revised 2010 GAMMI RILF Fadilies2015 VI-44 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 540 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities ■ Influencing legislation through lobbying and written and verbal testimony during formal comment periods ■ Participating in rule making ■ Reviewing technical documents ■ Serving on advisory committees and work groups ■ Participating in multi jurisdictional studies and basin planning ■ Entering into cooperative agreements with neighboring and regional agencies to accomplish common goals as appropriate and necessary CFP34 The utility's funds and resources shall be managed in a professional manner in accordance with applicable laws, standards, and City financial policies. CFP35 The utility shall remain a self-supporting enterprise fund. CFP36 The utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will provide funding for the following types of projects: 1) Projects addressing flood control problems. 2) Projects needed to meet water quality policies. 3) Projects needed for renewal/replacement or additions to current infrastructure and facilities. 4) Projects necessary for resource protection and stewardship. CFP37 To the extent of funding limitations, the CIP shall be sustained at a level of service necessary to implement cost effective flood control mitigation; meet water quality policies; maintain system integrity; provide required resource stewardship and protection; and meet federal, state, and local regulations. CFP38 The utility will continue to strive to minimize the use of loans to fund necessary capital improvements, and will generally operate on a "pay-as-you-go basis." However, low interest loans (i.e. Public Works Trust Fund) and/or grants will be used to leverage local funds when feasible. CFP39 Rates shall be set at the lowest level necessary to cover utility program expenses, meet levels of service identified in the "Comprehensive 2015 Surface Water 114aaagpffw*t Plan Update," meet debt coverage requirements, and sustain a reserve balance consistent with these policies on a long-term basis. CFP40 Utility rates shall be evaluated bi-annually and adjusted as necessary to achieve utility financial policy objectives. CFP41 Utility rates will allocate costs between different customer classes on an equitable basis. CFP42 The utility rate structure will be based on a financial analysis considering cost - of -service and other policy objectives, and will provide adjustments for actions taken under approved City standards to reduce related service impacts. Revised 2015 V1 45 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 541 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Six, Capital Facilities CFP43 Rates shall be uniform for all utility customers of the same class throughout the service area. CFP44 Rate assistance programs may be provided for specific low-income customers. CFP45 The utility's annual budget and rate recommendations shall provide funding for the following reserve components: 1. A working capital component based on 45 da-yW percent of the current year's budgeted operating and maintenance expenses. Under no circumstances shall a budget be submitted for a planned drop in reserves below this level. 2. An emergency/contingency component to cover excessive costs resulting from unexpected catastrophic events or system failures. Based on historical utility experience, this amount will be set at $500,000, which is the estimate of the net cost of emergency services to be paid from rate resources, excluding any potential reimbursements that may be received from Federal Emergency Management Act grants, the City's General Liability Fund, or other external revenue sources.

Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 564 of 804 CHAPTER SEVEN - CITY CENTER 7.0 INTRODUCTION During a series of community workshops held in 1992 and 1993, Federal Way citizens helped to develop a "vision" for Federal Way's future. This vision included the creation of a City Center (Maps VII-1 and VII-2). The City Center is comprised of both the City Center Core (CC-C) and the City Center Frame (CC-F). With the support of the residential and business community, Federal Way nominated itself to contain an urban center/regional growth center. Nominations were reviewed by the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), which confirmed the Federal Way CC-C area as an urban center/regional growth center in 1994. This designation should help Federal Way continue to gain access to County funds needed to provide infrastructure as the City Center grows. The term urban enter is used in the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) and the term regional growth center is used in VISION 2040. The term urban center will be used in this chapter to refer to the urban center/re ig'onal growth center. Urban centers are not specifically addressed by the Growth Management Act (GMA). Federal Way's City Center chapter presents concepts and strategies for creating a definable and vibrant !-City Center'—' for Federal Way and an —urban center" for Southwest King County' The chapter integrates the community's vision for a City Center with the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) adopted VISION 2020 plan regional growth strategy, and King County's countywide strategy for developing a network of urban centers. Purposes The principal purposes of the Federal Way City Center chapter are to: • Create an identifiable downtown that is the social and economic focus of the City; • Strengthen the City as a whole by providing for long-term growth in employment and housing; • Promote housing opportunities close to employment, shopping, and transit; • Support development of an extensive regional/high-capacity transit system; • Reduce dependency on automobiles; Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 565 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center • Consume less land with urban development; • Maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services; • Reduce costs of and time required for permitting; • Provide a central gathering place for the community; and • Improve the quality of urban design for all developments. -Ba aligiround 7.1 POLICY BACKGROUND Gro The City's comprehensive plan is required to be consistent with the GMA, Puget Sound Regional Council goals and policies of Vision 2040, and the CWPPs. The sections below briefly identify the relevant goals and policies related to city centers and urban centers contained within these documents. The City's specific goals and policies are consistent with these regional goals and policies and are contained within Section 7.7 of this chapter. vibrant,The VISION 2020 Plan (1995 upda4e), Regional Goal #1 states, "Leea4e develeppaeH4 in eownq�ities with an effieient, tfansit oriented, miditi modal tr-anspeftation system." King unique, and attfaetive plaee to live and work; • Responding t Weal roods and markets for -jobs and housing, th Management Act Per RCW36.70A.080, "Comprehensive Plans, Optional Elements," comprehensive plans may include sub -area plans, which are required to be consistent with the overall comprehensive plan. Accordingly, there are no GMA goals that are specific to city centers or urban centers. However, the following goals pertain to compact growth such w envisioned for a city center and an urban center: Urban Growth — Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. Reduce Sprawl — Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-densi , development. Revised-2M 2015 1 VI 1-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 566 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center VISION 2040 VISION 2040 directs cities with urban centers to develop a subarea plan. Centers are intended to be central places with more compact, pedestrian -oriented development with a mix of residences, jobs, retail, and entertainment. Centers also provide communi and . economic benefits as gathering places and locations of commerce and business. VISION 2040's multicountyplanning policies call for the region to focus significant residential and employmentgrowth within centers. Therefore, cities with regional growth centers must adopt housing and employment targets for their center. VISION 2040 also directs cities with designated centers to establish transportation mode - split goals for each center, in order to increase walking, biking and transit use. The build out of centers with a mix of uses and pedestrian -friendly desi n�pected to result in less driving and reduced pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Centers are also prioritized for regional infrastructure and economic development funding_ VISION 2040 has a number of goals and policies related to Centers. The followingis s the VISION 2040 goal and selected policies that are most relevant to Federal WaE. Goal: The region will direct growth and development to a limited number of designated regional growth centers. MPP-DP-5: Focus a significant share of population and employment growth in designated regional growth centers. MPP-DP-7: Give funding priority —both for transportation infrastructure and for economic development —to support designated regional growth centers consistent with the regional vision. Regional funds are prioritized to regional growth centers. County -level and local funding are also appropriate to prioritize Co to regional growth centers. nt wide Planninq Policies The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) must be consistent with both the GMA and VISION 2040. Like VISION 2040, the CWPPs address only the urban center. A centers strategy is the key for King County to achieve VISION 2040's regional growth strategy as well as providing a land use framework for an efficient and effective regional transit system. The CWPPs have a number of goals and policies related to urban centers. The following selected policies are most relevant to Federal WaE. DP-29 Concentrate housing and employment growth within designated urban centers. Revised-2M 2015 1 VI 1-3 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 567 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center DP-32 Adopt a map and housing and employment growth targets in city comprehensive plans for each urban center, and adopt policies to promote and maintain quality of life in the center through: • A broad mix of land uses that foster both daytime and nighttime activities and opportunities for social interaction. • A range of affordable and healthy housing choices. • Historic preservation and adaptive reuse of historic places. • Parks and public open spaces that are accessible and beneficial to all residents in the urban center. • Strategies to increase tree canopy within the urban center and incorporate low impact development measures to minimize stormwater runoff. • Facilities to meet human service needs. • Superior urban design which reflects the local community vision for compact urban development. • Pedestrian and bicycle mobility, transit use, and linkages between these modes. • Planning for complete streets to provide safe and inviting access to multiple travel modes, especially bicycle and pedestrian travel. • Parking management and other strategies that minimize trips made by single occupant vehicle, especially during peak commute periods. .. 41j- ...

These include: Community Support — The Federal Way community has made the City Center a significant part of its vision. Participants in community workshops helped to develop a vision for Federal Way's future. A keystone of that ph-rrvision is an attractive, multi -faceted City Center providing the setting for commercial, residential, entertainment, recreational, and civic f of ffes and eefwner-eial activities. Economic Development — Federal Way's economic development strategy relies on a strong urban center. As discussed in the Chapter 4, "Economic Development" ehapte , Federal Way has the opportunity to transform itself from an essentially residential and retail based economy to an emerging, sub -regional economic center with an expanded, more diversified employment base. An important step in achieving this goal is a sufficient critical mass in the City Center to produce lively street activity; support specialty business and cultural/entertainment facilities; justify the investment for public parks, amenities, and improved transportation systems; and create the interactive "synergy' of a true urban center. Federal Way's economic development strategy with the development of Town Center I, II, III, and IV as described below, and shown in Figure VII-I will greatly contribute to such a critical mass. The Ci , has acquired 17 acres in the downtown and will be embarking on developing a Town Center, which includes four components: • Four acres for a Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) (Town Center I). • Four acres for a park (Town Center II). • Eight acres for a hotel and potential development opportunities for office, medical office, higher educational facilities, retail and restaurants, along with arts and entertainment venues. In addition, there is a smaller component for office or institutional space (Town Center III • One acre for transit -oriented development (TOD) located east of the transit center and multi -story parking garage owned and operated by Sound Transit (Town Center IV).

Revised-2M 2015 1 VI 1-5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 569 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Growth Management — Developing a City Center is part of a regional strategy to address Western Washington's growth management. Public policy makers have focused increased attention on issues affecting our quality of life, including urban sprawl and the accompanying reduction of open space, declining housing affordability, and increasing traffic congestion. As stated ",,,AConcentrating future growth within the four county region into a number of centers (rather than a continued pattern of dispersion), linked by an efficient high capacity transit system, is one of the principal goals to manage this growth. Figure VII-1 7.4 7.3 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS City Center Planning Area The City Center planning area, consisting of the City Gen4e - Gore and Fame CC-C and CC-F zones, is approximately 414 acres in size and is bounded by South 312t1i Street, South 324th Street, Interstate 5, 11th Place South, and 131h Avenue South {tee-fMaps- VII-3 ). The City GefAer- Core a -a' Fr-ame CC-C and CC-F areas are 209 and 205 acres, respectively. Revised-2M 2015 1 VI 1-6 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 570 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center General Image The City Center does not currently present an identifiable sense of a downtown or urban center. The existing commercial development within the study area is typical of suburban strip retail and mall development. The dominance of mass retailing has largely shaped the commercial core. The Commons and spin-off retail centers are a local and regional destination and generate great amounts of physical and economic activity. However, as is the case with melt older suburban mall areas, there is little, if anything, distinctive or unique about the existing City Center. Essentially, it could be anyplace. It is similar to hundreds of other commercial centers across the country. Buildings are dispersed throughout the area and lack pedestrian connections to each other, public rights -of -way, The businesses do not eenneet to eaeh other-, or to public and private spaces, residential neighborhoods, or civic uses, except by automobile. Development essentially reflects one pattern: a single story of "light" construction, surrounded by an apron of asphalt. Buildings feature eeaer-eti—,,concrete or concrete block walls, creating austere and "generic" images. Another prevalent image of the area is the vast amount of surface parking. The availability of parking is essential to the current type of retail found in Federal Way. City Center businesses serve regional as well as local markets, and are heavily oriented to access by automobile. Actual building footprints relative to total parcel areas are quite small; the majority of most parcels are used to provide surface parking. This parking is often underutilized, except during the peak holiday season. The current network of collectors and arterials, and the disjointed over -sized block grids within the existing commercial area, contributes to significant traffic congestion. The character of the street environment is also unfriendly to pedestrians in many locations, with few amenities such as laMseaping, light-ing, benches, In azas etc. In addition, in many locations the pedestrian experience is made even less attractive as little more than parking lots or blank walls line the sidewalks. Reeent Iimprovements throughout the City Center, most notably along South 320th Street, Pacific Highway South/SR-99123rd Avenue South, and South 312th Street have improved the character of some streetscapes with handsome streetlights and trees. Continuation of these improvements .,long PaeifD��_�; _ 14ig .. ay Souti, and elsewhere throughout the City Center will do much to improve the overall character of the City Center streetscapes. Similarly, the extensive abatement of unattractive, out -of -scale signage, ,-has also led to a more attractive, human -scale streetscape. The City Center does not contain a significant residential population. Pockets of residential housing exist between South 312th and 316th Streets, and between SR-99 and I-5.

Eve *hough *These parks are within walking distance of the City Center, -they and they also serve as regional facilities in addition to serving local needs. Civic Buildings and Municipal Facilities Similarly, the City Center lacks significant civic or municipal facilities, with only the Public Library near the periphery of the City Center. The next closest facility is the City of Federal Way Parks Department's Steel Lake Annex and Maintenance Facility near South 312th Street and 28th Avenue South. Klaha ee Como, The Federal Way Community Center and City Hall are located a few miles southwest of the City Center at 01 9th ".,enue South 876 South 333rd Street and 33530 V33325 8th Avenue South, respectively. Circulation Roadways — A key element defining mobility within the City Center planning area is the enormous size of its blocks. Most U.S. downtowns have blocks ranging from 250 to 500 feet on a side; block lengths in Federal Way are several times that. Because of the "superblock" configuration, motorists drive between and within parking areas serving City Center developments to avoid congestion along City streets and pedestrian circulation is discouraged. Access to the area is provided by two principal arterial routes: South 320th Street (which runs east/west and connects to I-5), and SR-99 (which runs north/south). An :aorA why insufficient hierarchy of streets feed these arterial roadways. The area lacks a system of minor arterial and smaller collector streets that could diffuse traffic efficiently away from these two principal arterials. The iffegular poor spacing of traffic signals also adds to congestion. As such, the accessibility provided by the juncture of these routes, initially attractive to area residents, has been lost due to growth in traffic. Transit Service —A regional park and ride lot, located southwest of I-5 and south of South 320th Street and the Federal Way Transit Center which opened in early 2006 on a seven - acre site located at the southwest corner of South 316th Street and 23rd Avenue South at the northeast edge of Federal Way's City Center, generate most of the area's transit ridership during peak periods of the day. King County/METRO, Sound Transit, and Pierce Transit serve both of these sites. The 317th direct access ramp for Sound Transit's Federal Way Transit Center and the Sound Transit Federal Way Transit Center both -opened in early 2006 and has improved regional transit speed and reliability because transit is able to access the city center without having to use the congested I-5/320th interchange. The 317th direct access ramp also benefits carpools and vanpools. Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 574 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Pedestrian Environment and Bicycle Facilities — A 1992 inventory of existing sidewalks within the City (see page V-22 of the Community Profile, Feb. 1993) revealed a deficiency of pedestrian facilities Ecitywide. The central core was highlighted as one of the areas that lacked an adequate pedestrian network. For example, most of SR-99 and portions of 324th Street and 23rd Avenue South lacked sidewalks, although a series of street improvements has corrected this. A The majority of walking that takes place in the wee city center occurs within malls and along storefronts of shopping center strips. Sidewalks connecting storefronts to public walkways are lacking. The few sidewalks that did eat were naffew, devoid of tFees, and k4efmptedby erouseur-b euts. Crossing wide, busy streets such as South 320th Street and SR-99 can also be intimidating. There are few places to sit and enjoy pleasant weather, meet friends, or have lunch outside. The current pedestrian environment is unfriendly and unappealing. The division that exists between pedestrians and auto areas is not conducive to establishing the active street life desired in a City Center. Bicyclists have even fewer facilities to choose from. City streets lack striping or signage for bike riders who must share the road with heavy volumes of traffic. Once bicyclists reach the area, they become frustrated by the lack of safe storage facilities for their vehicles. Covered bike parking will be is now provided at Sound Transit's Federal Way Transit Center. Residential The'='it e CC-F contains approximatelygW 502 multi -family units of housing (listed in Table VII-1), located primarily in the area east of SR-99, south of South 312th Street, north of South 316th Street, and west of 28th Avenue South. Other residential neighborhoods surround the City Center area, such as the pockets of multi -family housing west of South 1 lth Place South and south of South 320th Street. There are also single-family neighborhoods west of Highway 99 and north of the South 312th Street corridor. While these neighborhoods are not located immediately within the City Center, they are located conveniently within walking, bicycling, or vehicular distance. They differ greatly in character and type. Approximately 47 percent of all residential units in the City Center are senior housing. In 1997, two senior housing projects were constructed in the CC-F. These projects are located south of South 312th Street and east of 23rd Avenue South, adjacent to the southern portion of Steel Lake Park. The two projects, Meridian/ Willamette Court and Woodmark at Steel Lake, consist of 300 and 85 living units respectively. In 2010, a 62-unit senior housing project adjoining the Transit Center was constructed in the CC-C. The residents of these developments have easy access to several shopping opportunities and services in the City Center area.

In addition, the City adopted a Planned Action SEPA in September 2006 for a sub -area of the City Center, 200 acres in size, more specifically described as an area bounded on the north by South 312th Street, on the south by South 324th Street, on the west by Pacific Highway South, and on the east by 23rd Avenue South_ Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-11 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 575 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center alignment with 25' Avenue South.

The crux of the strategy is to promote a compact urban center with connections between where we live, work, and recreate, and to create an urban environment that is amenable to walking, bicycling, and transit. The concept, a result of the citizen participation process called CityShape (held in 1992-93), implements the community's goals outlined in Section 7.2-7. In summary, the concept is to: • Establish an environment that supports high capacity transit fHCTj by locating residents and workers within convenient walking distance of HCT. • Make efficient use of existing capital improvements by concentrating higher intensity land uses in the City Center. • Encourage a mix of compatible uses where housing coexists adjaeent to, above; or- near -commercial developments. • Create a dense residential community within walking and bicycling distance of the core. • Improve auto circulation in the City Center by completing the proposed street grid, creating smaller blocks, and providing opportunities for through traffic to travel around rather than through the core, thus minimizing the impact of future growth on Citywide traffic patterns and congestion. • Reduce impact of parking by encouraging structured par-king,-arp king;. allowing reduced parking ratios, shared parking, and other innovative and creative parking solutions, as well as implementing guidelines that enhance appearance. • Create pedestrian and bicycle connections throughout the City Center and to surrounding neighborhoods. Provide a safe and inviting environment for pedestrians and bicyclists with direct connections between activities and transit facilities. Continue to develop and/or reconstruct streets to include sidewalks, street trees, benches, garbage receptacles, screening of parking areas, etc. • Create high amenity pedestrian -friendly corridors through the core, linked to a transit center and providing an attractive civic focus to the Commons. Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-15 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 579 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center • Provide a civic focus to create a sense of identity for all residents. Develop municipal and cultural facilities within the City Center core area. • Develop public spaces in the City Center, particularly the core area. Enhance the City Center with a network of public spaces and parks connected to the Citywide and regional system of open spaces, parks, and trails. Encourage gathering spaces in private development. • Adopt strategies to protect views such as Mount Rainier, especially for civic uses and public parks. Map VII-3 7 applies the principles described above. The Eaufc acr__+s the City renter eer-e CC-C area is located between SR-99 and I-5 and between South 316th/317th and South 3N h—and-324th Streets. The City Center core area contains a concentration of higher -density, commercial, residential, and mixed -use development, as well as civic, social and cultural uses. The City Cea4e . free CC-F area surrounds the core along the west and north edges and provides a full complement of commercial, residential, and mixed -use development at somewhat lower densities to support the core. It also provides a transition to surrounding single-family neighborhoods. High capacity transit ndas through the middle e serves the City Center, and pedestrian pathways connect the HCT station with residential areas, existing and future civic spaces, and the Commons. Land Use Designations This section expands on the land use concepts described previously. The City Center chapter contains two different land use designations, each with its own distinctive characteristics, intended to guide the evolution of the City Centers (Map VII-473). The CC-C and ACC-F area designations give form to the concepts summarized in section 7.35. These land use designations direct the location and extent of growth, and will reshape the nature of development, transforming the area into a compact, vibrant City Center.

By orienting new growth around this investment, the existing capacity can be utilized to its fullest extent.

First, higher - density is frequently less expensive than single-family housing. Second, the convenience and proximity to work, needed services, and cultural activities is very desirable for many people. Finally, many people find that they do not need a large, single-family detached house. Given their lifestyle, they appreciate the low maintenance and security of higher - density living. There is a mutually supportive relationship between higher -density residential uses and commercial activities. The presence of housing also activates City Center streets, day and night. The City Center core area will also be the central gathering place for the community —a place where the whole community can congregate and celebrate. Accordingly, the core shout will include an eutdeer s"are, Town Square pPark, with public amenities such as4eunlains water features, fires covered shelters, and unique landscaping.

It also provides a transition between high -activity areas in the core area and less dense neighborhoods outside of the frame. The frame area allows uses that are similar to those in the core area, but are of lower -density and intensity. Together, the core and frame areas are complementary. Encouraging multiple- unit housing mixed with business and commercial use will help Federal Way meet regional land use goals and its housing and employment targets. This is accomplished by encouraging the development of housing close to employment and transportation centers. To help transform the character of this land use designation, regulatory and/or financial incentives should be explored in exchange for amenities that contribute to a more pedestrian oriented environment (Figure VII-3).

W-& ' The City Center chapter is -aligns VISION 9 2040 and and the CWPPs related tom circulation.ther Rregional travel trends continue to show more cars on the road because the population and, therefore, number of drivers continue to increase.; However, as fewer millennials drive, and the population ages, there will be less mere trips per person, and ifter-eases a decrease in the number of people driving alone; tThe emphasis of the FWCP is to promote a variety of travel options such as van and car pools, transit, walking, and bicycling. The City will focus both on transportation improvements as well as influencing individual travel choices by increasing the attractiveness of alternatives to the automobile. These improvements should include: a smaller street grid, routes, public sidewalks and pedestrian pathways, clear and identifiable transit routes, and eventually light rail facilities. Encouraging growth in a compact, well defined City Center will help promote bicycling, walking, and transit use, as well as encouraging shorter automobile trips. The City Center will be connected to other regional urban centers and areas of the City by a multimodal transportation system, including a fast and convenient regional transit system. Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-21 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 585 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Go GO FMW Automobile Circulation The current network of collector roads and arterials, the disjointed grid, and large block sizes contribute to significant traffic congestion within the City Center. The solution is not necessarily to construct wider roads. Streets become less efficient as the numbers of lanes increases. Building new streets versus widening existing streets is more cost effective, yields greater capacity, and will have less impact on the City Center. Automobiles are likely to continue as a dominant mode of transportation. A comprehensive network of collector arterials and other streets must be developed to distribute this traffic and create more driving choices. To the extent possible, the City should connect streets to form a tighter grid within the City Center, especially in the core, by negotiating new public rights -of -way and building new streets. This "interconnectivity" serves to shorten and disperse trips, and consequently reduce travel on existing congested arterials. Map VII-:5�8 indicates the proposed street network changes. Additionally, bieyele paths should also be emphasize . west edge of the City Geftter-. walking, and bieyeling. CCP!6 The City's LOS standard shall be based on average per -son delay to allo Pedestrian/Bicycle Connections Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is a vital part of the future City Center circulation system. Improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists should support increases in transit services and promote the development of the City Center. This chapter addresses the lack of pedestrian amenities and pathways by recommending changes to the development patterns and transforming the character of the streetscape. As Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-22 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 586 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center the street system is redeveloped to better accommodate the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, a network of facilities for people on foot and bikes will be established such as already exists for people in cars. Reducing the size of the street grid as proposed, ' , and creating pedestrian paths through larger parcels is critical to establishing walking patterns that reduce dependency on the automobile. As individual sites are designed and developed to be more pedestrian friendly, and as the City provides improved pedestrian linkages, the pedestrian system will handle an increasing share of trips. As such, the City adopted special street design standards for the City Center in 1998. These include 12-foot sidewalks with street trees and pedestrian -scale street lighting. As streets are constructed, additional amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, and landscaped corner treatments may be added. Bike lanes will also be provided in a grid tighter than the rest of the City on through streets that avoid multiple turn -lane conflicts. In addition to adding public sidewalks and creating mid -block pathways, Map VII-6-9 depicts twee six principal pedestrian connections to improve pedestrian circulation. The first goal associated with improved pedestrian/bicycle connections is developing connections between the HCT station, adjoining bus transfer facilities, and other uses. The pedestrian and bicycle system is essential to other travel modes, particularly transit. ViAttally-a14--Many transit trips begin and end as pedestrian trips on public rights -of -way. Therefore, i all buildings within proximity to *where trips begin and end should be required to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement. The second goal is to establish pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Commons, the City's largest generator of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Linkages between the transit station and the Commons are important. Unfortunately, South 320th Street is wide, congested, and presents a significant barrier to this connection. Providing an at -grade pedestrian and bicycle crossing could increase congestion and vehicular and pedestrian/bicycle conflicts. To facilitate this connection, and encourage redevelopment of existing parking areas, this chapter proposes the continued consideration of a pedestrian bridge spanning South 320th Street. The pedestrian over -pass would create a major connection between two areas in the City Center that have a high potential for new development and redevelopment. The third goal is to connect the City Center to nearby neighborhoods and parks. Residential neighborhoods of varying densities surround the City Center. Steel Lake and Celebration Parks are located to the northeast and southwest of the City Center, respectively. Both pedestrian and bicycle trails should extend to these residential neighborhoods and parks. Roads extending to these areas should emphasize the pedestrian connection by including additional pedestrian amenities. In order to provide good pedestrian connectivity across multi -lane arterials such as South 320th Street and Pacific Highway South, crossings should be provided more closely than the existing 1/4-mile spacing of traffic signals. Unsignalized pedestrian crossings would not be very safe, yet closer spacing of traffic signals make two-way signal coordination impossible to achieve, creating much more congestion and worsening safety and air Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-23 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 587 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center quality. These conflicting needs must be resolved through the design process as these streets are reconstructed. One solution, although it would an expensive one, would be to construct a pedestrian overpass across 320th Street. _ .���srsr_�e�ser�stre!�riss�r_sr CCP18 Continue to leeal enferee and refine zoning > site planning requirements, standards,and stfeet design as neeessafy, i..:,.yele f ;o aty o fit :CKlTffEf!}7�Z'l�5rl1SEZ'!!r�:.............. .E�SIlf - • along, South ik Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-24 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 588 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Transit Efficient, convenient, and reliable transit is an important to the Cit emphasis *E) component of the City's vision of reduceigg auto dependency through the creation of viable travel options. Transit will play an important role in the development of the City Center and the region as a whole. A multi -modal system that includes transit will bring commuters and shoppers to and from other areas of Federal Way and adjacent communities. A high capacity transit system with a principal stop in the core area will distribute people regionally and connect to other bus based transit systems. Transit stops throughout the center will help shoppers, employees, and residents to circulate around the City Center without the need to get into their cars. Encouraging a mix of land uses and densities at major transit access points will help meet passenger needs and reduce vehicle trips. High Capacity Transit The Federal Way Transit Center opened in early 2006, on a seven -acre site located at the southwest corner of South 316th Street and 23rd Avenue South, at the northeast edge of Federal Way's City Center. The transit center is a regional bus transit facility supporting Sound Transit, King County METRO, and Pierce Transit. It includes a five -level structured parking garage with 1,200 parking spaces, a pedestrian bridge between the transit decks and parking garage, bicycle storage, and shelters for waiting passengers. The Transit Center is considered by the City as a major anchor to the urban center designation in the Vision 249 2040 plan adopted by the PSRC. The project also includes a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) direct -access ramp connecting the transit center to Interstate-5 via South 317th Street. In addition, approximately one acre of the transit center site has been set aside for future transit -oriented development (TOD), and is now designated Town Center IV (Figure VII-I and Map VII-5),consistent with the comprehensive plan vision for the City Center. In 2010, Senior City, a TOD development of 62 units of senior housing, was constructed adjoining and east of the station. Sound Transit is working with Puget Sound citizens and City representatives to develop a HCT network linking Everett, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, and communities between them. Three light rail stations are proposed in Federal Way, including one in the City Center-een-ar-ea. In April 2015, Sound Transit released an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding alignment and station location alternatives in the City Center. The EIS identifies two primary alignment alternatives: 1-5 or Pacific Highway South. The EIS also identifies five potential station locations in the City Center. Two of the potential stations would facilitate a Pacific Highway alignment, and three would facilitate an I-5 alignment. Map VII-10 shows four stations, although the station just south of the existing Transit Station would facilitate both alignments. ramp eeting 15 ara the transit sta4ionThe Sound Transit Board will select a preferred alignment in 2015.

The City should take advantage of every opportunity to locate a variety of civic buildings in and around the City Center. This will occur over time, but it is necessary to establish a clear direction through public policy. A network of outdoor spaces for recreation, strolling, gathering, and dining will make the City Center a lively and attractive place to live, shop, and conduct business. Each type of space should serve a range of users and activities. Outdoor spaces should range from a major urban parklike Town Square Park, that is the focal point for downtown, to pocket urban plazas for lunch time gathering by residents, visitors, and workers. Some spaces will be publicly built and maintained, others will be constructed along with private development. Privately developed gathering space is a major component of all City Centers: small parks and plazas are opportunities to enhance the urbanscape and image of the City Center. Courtyards; Viand forecourts are ways to e€fieiently integrate open space to enhance a project. Visitors, shoppers, and employees often perceive these private spaces as public. The City should commit to assist in or provide incentives for, the development of plazas and parks that are open to the public and parks tha4 are open to the publie.

It is, therefore, necessary to r-edeee the need for- make more efficient use of parking and encourage the provision of structured parking within these areas. Moreover, parking lots have high redevelopment potential. There are numerous examples of communities similar to Federal Way where former parking lots now contain multi- story developments. Large amounts of parking will be needed for many years to come..., 14however, as development pressures and land values increase, suff ee park ng bee^mes ^Nd property owners will may be able to afford the conversion from surface parking to structured parking. In the interim, the City should encourage site layouts that facilitate future redevelopment of parking areas. The Ci1y should examine the feasibility of partnering with the private sector to constructing a parking structure in the downtown commercial core area. Figure VII-4 is a conceptual illustration of the redevelopment of surface parking around a mall. Additionally, the City may designate certain streets for on -street parking.

Revised-1040 2015 1 VII-29 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 593 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Streetscape To improve livability within the City Center area, the City must complete the street network and continue to develop streets in accord with its new street standards. The street grid must be well interconnected to make travel from one place to another as efficient as possible. The key to achieving this is to consider streets as a network that will serve pedestrians, bicycles, and transit, in addition to automobiles. In areas where increased density is proposed, existing streets must continue to be retrofitted with sidewalks, street trees, street furniture, and other amenities. Allowing on -street parking also creates a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. It also allows shoppers and visitors to park easily for short amounts of time. On -street parking should be permitted on City Center streets, (where feasible' o ept ,,sing the morning and evening commuting hours when the extfa lanes are needed to aeeommodate the extfa high Nolttmes of tFaffie.

These standards also incorporate the City Center Street Design Guidelines adopted by the City Council in May 1998. 7.5 THE URBAN CENTER Federal Way's CC-C area has been designated as an urban center. VISION 2040 has specific requirements about what must be included in urban center plans. These include land use; housing and employment targets; mode -split goals, key job sectors and industry clusters; and policies and programs for innovative stormwater management. Land Use The urban center is presently characterized by retail and service, with only 62 units of senior housing constructed in 2010 (Table VII-II, Maps VII-4 and VII-5). A key element of VISION 2040 and the CWPPs is to focus growth into dense walkable mixed use urban centers. Housing Targets Demographic shifts in the housing market will contribute to the development of the urban center. These include a shrinking proportion of households with children and an increasing proportion of racially and ethnically diverse households and households with singles, families without children, and seniors. These growingdemographic emog_raphic groups have historically shown a preference for higher -density housing near transit. To address, this demographic shift, the housing target for the urban center has been set at 2,521 units. This means that there is an additional target of 2,459 residential units, which is 30 percent of the overall city target of 8,100 residential units. Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-30 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 594 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Maior Employment Sectors As discussed in Chapter 4, "Economic Development," and shown in Table VII-III, almost 23 percent of jobs in the City are in services, followed by health care, retail, and tourism. Based on data provided by PSRC, almost 59 percent of total jobs in the urban center are in the services sector (this excludes jobs in health care and tourism), with almost 32 percent in retail. PSRC suppresses employment information for a particular sector if there are very few employers in that sector in order to protect the identity of the employ Therefore, even though the total number of jobs in the urban center in 2013 added up to 3,389, due to suppression of jobs neither the jobs nor percentages in the identified sectors will add up to 100 percent.

Accordingly, the total number of jobs for the year 2035 for the urban center has been set at 6,823. This means that there is an additional target of 3,434 jobs, which is 28 percent of the overall city target of 12,300 jobs. Transportation Concentrating growth in a specific area also supports investment in transit, including a regional HCT system. Existing low -density development does not generate sufficient levels of demand to optimize the return on investment in transit. Promoting higher- Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-32 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 596 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Seven, City Center density uses within walking distance of transit facilities will improve the viability of this significant infrastructure investment. Additionally, concentrating the highest density of development in the urban center, where a significant number of jobs and residences will be within walking distance of a transit station, helps reduce dependency on the automobile and improve pedestrian mobility. The urban center emphasizes pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility. As shown in Table VII-V, based on PSRC's 2010 Summary Statistics in the Federal Way Profile on Urban Centers, mode split in 2010 was 79 percent single _ occupancy vehicle (SOY). The City's 2040 goal for the urban center is a 70 percent SOV rate. Table VII-V Mode -Split Goals 2010 2040 Single Occupancy Vehicle 79% 70% Highpancy Vehicle 9% 13% Walk and Bike 3% 4% Transit 9% 13 % Source: PSRC's Federal Way Profile on Urban Centers and City of Federal Way Traffic Division vironment Critical Areas There are no wetlands. streams. or eeoloaically hazardous areas within the urban center. However, there are three aquifers that underlie the City. Federal Way is partially dependent on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Groundwater pumped from Lakehaven Utility District wells originates from these three aquifers. The Lakehaven wells are protected by regulations that designate wellhead protection zones. The western portion of the urban center is located within a 10-year wellhead protection zone. Stormwater Management Conventional tools to manage stormwater runoff focus on mitigation and flood control b collecting runoff via conveyance systems and detaining the excess volume in ponds or vaults. However, the conventional tools typically do not provide local groundwater recharge. as thev reauire large volumes of surface or subsurface storage. and Drovide limited water quality treatment. Consistent with Department of Ecology permit requirements, the City is moving toward making a low impact development (LID) approach as the preferred method, where feasible, to supplement or replace the conventional tools for stormwater management. LID shifts the stormwater focus from a structural measure to a source reduction approach. Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-33 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 597 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center 7.6 VISION STATEMENT By the end of the comprehensive planning horizon in 2035, the Federal Way City Center has evolved into the cultural, social, and economic center of the City and fulfilled its role as one of Puget Sound's regional network of urban centers. This role is reinforced by pedestrian -oriented streetscapes; an efficient multi -modal transportation system; livable and affordable housing; increased retail, service, civic, and office development in a compact area; a network of public spaces and parks; superior urban design; and a safe and vibrant street life. The City Center is responsive to the needs of the City's residents. In addition to general services that draw people from outside the region, such as retail, office, cultural, entertainment, and hotel uses, the City Center is the primary commercial area providing local goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods, and to residents and employees within the center area. Private development and City -initiated actions have resulted in a balanced transportation network that accommodates automobiles, public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and integrated parking. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit circulation is emphasized along with other travel modes. The downtown urban fabric includes smaller blocks, lending itself to efficient and pleasant travel. Concentrated development allows a significant number of jobs and residences to be located within close proximity to transit, including a High Capacity Transit Station (HCT), thus, reducing dependency on the automobile and improving pedestrian mobility. The regional HCT system with regional express bus service has evolved to include fixed wide-wasystems, such as light rail. Direct access to a regional transit system links the City Center to Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Bellevue, SeaTac International Airport, and other regional and local destinations. The diversity of housing opportunities now include high-rise and/or mid -rise mixed -use, which helps to meet a significant portion of the community's housing needs. City Center residents walk or take transit to shop, work, and recreate. Community facilities and services, public spaces, parks, and trails complement the variety of housing and provide places for residents to come together as a community. A central gathering place for the community, the City Center, is where the whole community can congregate and celebrate. Civic and cultural facilities including a Performing Arts and Conference Center, park and open -space system, meet the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. These amenities connect to the Citywide and regional system of open spaces, parks, and trails. Public and private projects contain such design elements as fountains, sculptures, and unique landscaping_. The quality of urban design for all developments, including streets, building landscaping is high and contributes to an improved quality of life. Public buildings spaces also set a high standard for design and compatibility with adjoining uses.

Phasing and development of certain elements, such as high capacity transit, are outside the City's control. Therefore, an implementation program must be flexible. It must also be tied to general goals, policies, and strategies rather than a detailed, step-by-step list of actions. The implementation section consists o£ A set of strategies to guide implementing actions; An illustration of how these strategies can be realized over time; and A 15 �effAn action plan. Implementation Strategies Specific strategies must be pursued in order to coordinate various elements and actions that are dependent upon one another. For example, private development depends upon adequate infrastructure and amenities. Effective transit service depends upon supporting land use development to provide sufficient ridership.

Revised-2M 2015 1 VII-42 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 606 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Seven, City Center Phasing Transforming the existing downtown commercial core area into the proposed City Center is an ambitious task. It requires a significant transformation from a low -density, automobile oriented, largely retail area to a higher intensity, more pedestrian oriented mixed -use area. The QV), Geffte, This chapter acknowledges that the eefe Cit Center will take some time to develop. The City can facilitate these changes if a series of small steps are taken over time. This is especially true if the steps are consistent with the emerging economic, social, and demographic trends. As is the intent of this plan, the phasing scenario presented here accounts for the timing of market projections and future actions. As noted above, the implementation strategy is keyed to projected trends and regional planning goals. Its form and character, as envisioned in the chapter, are dramatically different from anything that now exists in the center. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in interest in redevelopment opportunities within the City Center, both on the part of existing property owners and prospective developers.

Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 636 of 804 CHAPTER EIGHT - POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREAS 8.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA) is located in South King County and lies generally east of the City of Federal Way and Interstate 5. The PAA is characterized by a series of residential neighborhoods focused around numerous lakes beginning with Star Lake in the north and concluding with Five Mile Lake in the South (see Maps VIII-1 and VIII-2). The City of Federal Way Potei4ial Annexation Area (PAA) was established through a series of interlocal agreements between the City of Federal Way and neighboring South King County cities. Based upon the State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA), VISION 2040, and the King County Countywide Planning Policies CWPPs , the City would ultimately annex and provide services within its designated PAA. While the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) focuses upon plans and policies for property in the City limits, the -uba •ea lai this chapter augments the comprehensive plan and addresses in more detail the Federal Way PAA, 15, with a small ,,,,t4ie., 1,,eate,1 west of 15 and net4h of the City limits no the Redondo nerheed. The City of Federal Way with the support of Kinky adopted a PAA Sub -area Plan in 2003 to guide annexation of its PAA. This Sub -area Plan included a Pre -annexation Comprehensive Plan Designations Map and a Pre -annexation Zoning Map, which would become effective upon annexation. Using this plan, the City attempted to annex its entire PAA. The annexation proposal was rejected by the voters in the PAA on August t 21, 2007. At this time, the City has no plans to pursue annexation of its PAA; however, it will entertain requests from property owners in the PAA who are interested in annexing to the City. The 2003 PAA Sub -area Plan is more than 11 years old and the analysis as to the feasibility of annexing the PAA is outdated. At the time of any annexation request, the City will prepare required feasibility studies and analysis.

VISION 2040. and the Kine Countv Countvwide Planning Policies (CWPPs) call for concentrating growth within the region's designated Urban Growth Area (UGA). The UGA encompasses all of the urban designated lands within King County. These lands include all cities as well as a portion of unincorporated King County. Consistent with the GMA, VISION 2040, and the CWPPs, urban lands are intended to be the focus of future Gowth that is compact. includes a mix of uses. and is well -served by public infrastructure. t tTr-a-fispeAeAie •fig tEeenemie development tfp}1eAy fights � efF Growth Management Act f f Ef o«� Citizen paftieipa4ion eeefdinafie • Revised-2M 2015 1 VI II-5 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 641 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas The GMA includes goals to reduce sprawl and ensure that urban growth occurs in areas designated for urban uses, where services can be provided more efficiently. The GMA identifies three distinct landscapes: urban lands, rural lands, and natural resource lands (i.e., agricultural, forest, and mineral lands). The act makes clear that the long-term sustainability of rural and resource lands is dependent on accommodating development within the designated UGA. The following three in partieulafGMA goals are most relevant to PAA planning efforts: ■ Urban Growth — Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist, or can be provided in an efficient manner. ■ Reduce Sprawl — Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low -density development. ■ Public Facilities and Services — Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use, without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. In terms of urban growth and reduction of sprawl, the PAA contains primarily single- family development, with a few commercial nodes along major arterial roadways, where services are or can be extended, identified as neighborhood or community centers. The land use/zoning pattern based on the pre -annexation comprehensive plan and zoning designations would result in urban densities of about four units per net acre or greater, meeting GMA goals for urban level growth. Select areas have pre -annexation comprehensive plan and zoning designations to accommodate approximately one residential unit per acre on the periphery of the PAA, due to sensitive areas and infrastructure limitations. FEW iwiwerirwwr��wxirw�nM� aw. I I M _�;. VISI N 2040 VISION 2040 contains multi -county planning policies (MPPs) that call for unincorporated UGAs to be affiliated with adjacent cities for joint planning pgMoses and future annexation. The Regional Growth Strategy allocates 93 percent of the re ig on's future population growth and 97 percent of its employment growth into the existing UGA. VISION 2040 also directs the Regional Council to develop a framework to review Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-6 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 642 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas and comment on adjustments to PAAs. It directs counties to work with adjacent cities to craft municipal standards for development in unincorporated urban areas. The overarching goal of the MPPs related to unincorporated lands within the UGA is: Goal: All unincorporated lands within the Urban Growth Area will either annex into existing cities or incorporate as new cities. MPP-DP-18: Affiliate all urban unincorporated lands appropriate for annexation with an adjacent city or identify those that may be feasible for incorporation. To fulfill the re iongrowth strategy, annexation is preferred over incorporation. MPP-DP-19: Support joint planning between cities and counties to work cooperatively in planning for urban unincorporated areas to ensure an orderly transition to city governance, including efforts such as: (a) establishinguban development standards, (b) addressing service and infrastructure financing and (c) transferring permitting authority_ MPP-DP-20: Support the provision and coordination of urban services to unincorporated urban areas by the ad city or, where appropriate, by the county as an interim approach. CWPPS and local comprehensive plans must be consistent with the MPPs Countywide Planning Policies in King Getmty, the Coun"ide Planning Pokeies (CWPP's) that were enaeted ptffsuant to the GMA a4se provide guidanee with regard to multi jufisdietional joint plafming, Within the Ufban Gfe"h Area, be dir-eeted follows: first,LU28 gFewdi should as a) to eenter-s and urbanized areas with existing infr-astmetwe eapaoity; b) , be easily extended; and last, to infr-astmetwe e) areas r- ..

The pattern of growth within the UGA implements the Regional Growth Strategy through allocation of targets to local jurisdictions. The targets create an obligation to plan and provide zoning for future potential growth, but do not obligate a jurisdiction to guarantee that a ,given number of housing units will be built or jobs added during the planning period. Goal: The Urban Growth Area accommodates growth consistent with the Rgy1onq Growth Stratg& and growth targets through land use patterns and practices that create vibrant, healthy, and sustainable communities. DP-22 Designate Potential Annexation Areas in city comprehensive plans and adopt them in the Countywide Planning Policies. Ensure that Potential Annexation Areas do not overlap or leave unincorporated urban islands between cities. DP-23 Facilitate the annexation of unincorporated areas within the Urban Growth Area that are already urbanized and are within a city's Potential Annexation Area in order to provide urban services to those areas. Annexation is preferred over incorporation. DP-24 Allow cities to annex territory only within their designated Potential Annexation Area as shown in the Potential Annexation Areas Map. Phase annexations to coincide with the ability of cities to coordinate the provision of a full range of urban services to areas to be annexed. DP-26 Develop agreements between KingCountyand cities with Potential Annexation Areas to apply ci . -compatible development standards that will "ide land development prior to annexation.

The March 18, 2002, PAA Inventory Report provides a detailed inventory and description of these critical areas. Many of these Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-16 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 652 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas areas have already been identified, delineated, mapped, and classified. In addition, the inventory report details the implications of federal, state, and local policies at that time regarding environmentally sensitive areas pending any potential future annexation. When requests for annexation are received, this inventory should be updated per existing policies and regulations. Summary of Inventory The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), Washington State Priority Habitat and Species Program (PHS), and the GMA provide levels of protection for endangered, threatened, or sensitive species and habitats, and hazard protection. Please refer to Maps VIII-3 and VIII-4 for locations of sensitive critical and hazard areas within the PAA as identified in 2002-2003. A brief description of the results from research on the environment is provided below. Wetlands There are approximately 440 acres of known wetlands in the PAA, with the largest acreage of wetlands found in the Northeast Subarea. Within the smaller individual community subareas, Lakeland has the largest acreage of wetlands (see Map VIII-3). Both the county and City have regulations protecting wetlands with buffers and other requirements varying by wetland class. The City of Federal Way regulates wetlands per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Chgpter 19.175. Streams A distinctive characteristic of the PAA is that most of the area is a headwater to several major streams (Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek). Most of the streams in the Federal Way PAA are classified by the county as Class 2 with salmonids requiring a 100-foot buffer. If using the City of Federal Way classification system, most streams would be considered major streams, also requiring a 100-foot buffer. The City of Federal Way regulates streams per FWRC Chapter 19.165. Lakes Lakes in the PAA include Star, Dollof, North, Killarney, Geneva, and Five Mile lakes. The ----er-y Notebook Volume f South. Upon annexa4ion of areas eentaining lakes, the City would desigaa4e speeifie lakes within the PAA as r-egttla4ed lak The setback requirement for regulated lakes is 25-feet landward in every direction from the ordinary high water mark of the lake. The City of Federal Way regulates lakes per FWRC Chapter 19.175. All of the lakes in the PAA are also under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program. Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-17 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 653 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Based on the state Priority Species and Habitat Mapping Program, within the PAA there are three anadromous running streams. These include the headwaters of West Hylebos creek, the south draining stream from Lake Dolloff, and East Hylebos Creek south of Lake Kilarney. King County has also identified downstream and west of I-5 in the City limits that Hylebos Creek has a "Chinook distribution 500 foot buffer." The City definition of "fish and wildlife habitat conservation area" is found in FWRC 14.05.030.

The Lakehaven Utilitv District serves the maioritv of the PAA except for a small area in the northeastern portion of the Star Lake Area. T w—Lakehaven's main source of water is from four aquifer systems that underlie the City: the Redondo -Milton Channel Aquifer, the Mirror Lake Aquifer, the Federal Way Deep Aquifer, and the Eastern Upland Aquifer. The locations of wells in relationship to the aquifer systems are shown on Map VIII-3. Aquifer recharge areas are located in areas where permeable soil and rock materials are relatively close to the land surface and where there is an excess of water from precipitation. The Lakehaven Utility District notes that the precise extent of the aquifer recharge areas is uncertain. Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas and Wellhead Protection Areas are regulated by FWRC Chapter 19.185. Highline Water District services a small part of the PAA in the Star Lake area. Until 1962, all water came from the Highline District's wells. To 1, At the time of the preparation of the 2003 PAA Sub -area Plan, about 90 percent of the water supply of the district i-s was purchased from Seattle Public Utilities. The district supplements its Seattle water source with local wells. The wells, which draw from an intermediate aquifer approximately 400 feet underground, were designed to furnish approximately 15 percent Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-18 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 654 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas of the total volume of water supplied by the district. The district has wells located in Des Moines and also near Angle Lake outside of the PAA and Federal Way. As defined in the City of Federal Way Sensitive Area Ordinance, siting criteria for wells must comply with state law SWAC 173-160-171). Furthermore, any improvement or use on a subject property is subject to said state requirements regarding separation of wells from sources of pollution. Frequently Flooded Areas There are no Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recognized frequently flooded areas in the City of Federal Way. There is a 100-year floodplain located around Lake Dolloff in the PAA (see Map VIII-3). King County regulations require that development activities, including fill, may not cause the base flood elevation to rise. Federal Way has floodplain regulations in FWRC Chapter 19.142. Geologic Hazard Areas There are small portions of the Parkway, Jovita, and North Lake Subareas, which have landslide hazard areas and erosion hazard areas, mostly located near streams or steep slope areas. There are also small portions of the Camelot and Lakeland Subareas that have erosion hazard areas. The Star Lake Subarea has a significant proportion of both landslide hazard and erosion hazard areas along its eastern border. Please refer to Map VIII-4. Development activities and land surface modifications on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area are subject to FWRC Chapter 19.160. Environmental Goals and Policies The following environmental goal and policies are provided to address PAA environmental conditions. Environmental Goal Practice environmental stewardship by protecting, enhancing and promoting the natural environment in and around the PAA. Environmental Policies PAA Env —1 Prior to and upon annexation, the county and City in partnership shall promote the protection of PAA wetland and lake complexes, as much of the area is a headwater to significant fish -bearing streams, including Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek. PAA Env — 2 The county shall, prior to annexation, manage the 100-year floodplain of Lake Dolloff in accordance with federal, state, and county laws and Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-19 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 655 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas guidelines. Regulations to prevent reductions in base flood storage volumes should continue to be implemented. Upon annexation, the City shall continue the policy and practice of floodplain management. PAA Env — 3 Prior to and upon annexation, the county and City in partnership should encourage the establishment of an active lake management system to monitor and manage lake water quality. This management system should actively involve property owners, homeowner's associations, lake management districts, and agency stormwater utilities within the PAA. PAA Env — 4 Prior to the annexation of large areas, updated surface water basin management plans should be prepared by the county in conjunction with the City for the PAA basins and sub -basins, particularly east of I-5. Basins and sub -basins should be prioritized for study and coordinated with all appropriate state and local agencies. The topology, soils, drainage, flow and channel monitoring, vegetation, habitat identification, utilities, R/D maintenance, and mitigation policies should be uniquely identified and defined for each basin/sub-basin. PAA Env — 5 In preparation of applying City environmentally sensitive area regulations in the future, the City and county should inventory and map steep slope areas in the PAA. PAA Env — 6 Prior to and upon annexation, the City should coordinate with the King County Solid Waste Division regarding the environmental monitoring of the closed Puyallup/Kit Corner Landfill. PAA Env — 7 The City shall coordinate with King County through interlocal agreements or other means to institute common environmental protection standards while the area is in transition from county to City jurisdiction. Standards would include, but are not limited to, wetland buffers and mitigation standards, stream buffers, geologically hazardous area disturbance avoidance and buffers, and others as appropriate. �3 8.4 LAND USE Existing Land Uses With the e*eeption of the Redondo East neighbor -hood, whieh lies along Paeifie Highway South and eentains a higheFIger-eent of land devoted to multifamily E)f the -The Federal Way PAA contains primarily single family residential land uses as shown in Figure VIII-I (page 19), and Table VIII-21-age-20).

Essential public facilities can be government owned and operated facilities, or privately owned facilities that are regulated by public entities. This definition is not considered to be all-inclusive, but provides examples of facilities that are difficult to site. No local comprehensive plan or development regulation may preclude the siting of essential public facilities. The PAA contains several essential public facilities, including highways of statewide significance such as I-5 and SR-18, a WSDOT maintenance facility, the closed &and monitored Puyallup/Kit Corner Landfill (see section-84.f 8.10, Solid Waste), group homes, and potentially others that remain to be identified beyond present inventory efforts. Under county or City plans and rules, essential public facilities are required to undergo a review process €ems np gr to siting4hem. Cultural Resources The King County Historic Preservation Program has identified historic properties included in the King County Historic Resource Inventory. The only designated or potentially eligible historic landmarks are in the Lakeland neighborhood of the Southeast Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-24 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 660 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas Subarea (see Map VIII-65). The Sutherland Grocery and Gas Station, built in the 1930's, was designated a King County Landmark in 2002. The two other potentially eligible historic sites are the Westborg House, a farmhouse built in 1905 by M. Westborg on property originally part of a 160-acre homestead owned by James Duncan, and the Faucher House, a home and barn built in 1923. The King County Historic Preservation Program recommends an inventory update to identify any additional historic properties in the PAA area, as well as the City limits, since the last inventory was conducted 4-5 27 years ago. Additionally, the county recommends an interlocal agreement for preservation services to provide a mechanism and incentives for protecting significant historic properties within the current and future annexed City boundaries. ..

Housing Policy PAA House —1 The City, in cooperation with King County, should promote the preservation of existing housing. Private investment should be encouraged in older residential neighborhoods and multifamily complexes. Programs supporting weatherization, home repair and rehabilitation, and infrastructure maintenance should be supported. The FWCP Housing chapter policies address housing stock protection, existing and future affordability, and special needs, and would also be applicable to the PAA. 8.6 PARKS AND RECREATION Summary of Parks Planning Efforts and Inventory The City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services (PROS) Department has prepared a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space GenT - z ,,nsiv,, Plan, which was originally er-eatecI adopted in 1991 and updated in 1995, a*d 2000, 2006, and 2012. The PRCS plan is adopted by reference into the FWCP. The plan divides the City and PAA into subareas for purposes of long-range planning_(Map VI-3. The primary goal of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan is to assure that a park serves every neighborhood in Federal Way.Cuffeady As of 2012, the City is was providing 404 12.52 acres of city -owned parks per 1,000 population in the etifferrt City limits. The City's goal is to provide a level of service of 10.9 acres per 1,000 in population and to maintain this level of service standard as Federal Way grows in population and size. The City of Federal Way's existing parks and recreational areas are divided into six categories. Each category represents a distinct type of recreational activity or opportunity. Please to that this ells. f4eatio., system is f the existing ,.,, f6 ,,4y. The categories are: Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks, Regional Parks; Speeial Use Areas, Trails, Community Facilities, and T reped LanddlOpen 8pae,—S2ace Areas. The total parkland in Federal Way equals 84 6.0 was 1,141.13 acres as of year- 20Q January 2015. The PAA is primarily served by five county park sites totaling 109.52 109.8 acres (see Table VIII-42page 30, and A&p VW 5 . All of the active park facilities are located in the Lakeland community subarea, while natural park and passive park areas are found in the Star Lake and Camelot community subareas. Completed in 2000, the South County Ballfields Phase 2 is the only recent capital project completed in the PAA. > ,,..�e, Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-32 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 668 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas .. .

These include sites located in the Camelot and North Lake community subareas. Private recreation facilities may also be required in residential subdivisions and developments of five units or more in accordance with King County development regulations and King County's determination of recreation facility needs. Future Parks and Recreation Needs Based on the January 13, 2013, PRCS Plan, there was a total of 1,119.29 acres of City - owned park and open space land within the City of Federal Way, including roughly 579.86 acres in developed parks and 539.43 acres in undeveloped open space. If Dash Point State Park is included in the calculation for total acreage, then there are 1,360.39 acres of park and open space within the City. If the parks within the PAA and the portion of Dash Point State Park located in Pierce County are included in those calculations, a total of 1,644.39 acres of park and open space are located within the City and PAA. This includes City, state, and county park facilities. Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-33 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 669 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas The City's level of service standard for total park land is 10.9 acres/1000 population. The January 13, 2013, level of service for the City was 15.22 acres/1000 population, and for the county and PAA together, the then level of service was 14.81 acres/1000 population. Since that time, the City has added 21.84 acres of park land, so the level of service has not changed drastically. Therefore, system -wide, the City has an adequate amount of park land to serve the current population for both the City and PAA. However, much of this acreage is undeveloped open space. The primary deficiency is in improved trails. Table rmr c PAA and City Par-ks Levels of Ser- WPM- _ IT MMS AIM mW-Em. ��vssssrr�eaeszs�se_ _ �T. �T� �T.

PAA Park — 2 The City should review county park maintenance and operation plans for each county park facility that may be transferred in the event of annexation. The City will assess available resources at the time of annexation and determine the appropriate level of maintenance for all acquired county facilities. PAA Park — 3 Additional parkland, open space, and trails should be acquired and developed according to the standards outlined in the City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan.

Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-37 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 673 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas � :$ 8.7 SURFACE WATER Summary of Inventory The PAA is almost entirely within the nearly level upland plateau which is immediately adjacent to steep slopes at the edge of the Green and White River valleys get Q..,,,-,.a (in the ease of the Redondo c4 area) As a result, historical stormwater systems within the PAA include a series of lake and wetland complexes that drain in steep ravines to the rivers and streams below. The most distinctive characteristic of the PAA is that most of the area is a headwater to several significant streams (Hylebos Creek, Mullen Slough, and Mill Creek). Five drainage basins have been identified by King County mapping within the PAA. These designations also agree with the City of Federal Way designations: Lower Green River, Mill Creek, White River, Hylebos Creek, and Lower Puget Sound (see Map VIII-8). Surface Water Facilities Within the various drainage basins, the PAA contains a variety of surface water facilities that require inspection and maintenance by several county divisions and/or property owners as listed in Tables VIII-73 through VIII-95 (regional and local surface water facilities are shown on Map VIII 8). Since these tables were prepared 13 to 14 years ago, it is expected that this information has changed; however, it is being retained for lack of better information. At the time of any annexation request, this inventory will be updated as part of the planning and analysis process associated with annexing property.

Certain problem areas may require continual non -routine maintenance due to existing environmental conditions (such as Peasley Canyon Road), or could become candidates for further study and capital improvements (such as Lakes Geneva and Dolloff). ■ Teft-The Regional Stormwater Facilities constructed and maintained by King County will need to be maintained by Federal Way. in the PAA. The residential drainage facilities in the PAA are inspected and maintained by King County. The commercial facilities are inspected by King County and maintained by the property owner. Federal Way will need to evaluate the feasibility of inspection and maintenance. • An initial sustained cleaning effort will likely be needed to bring the ditch system to a level of improvement where minimal routine maintenance would be needed.

There are various options for Federal Way to set up the lake management system, including use of homeowners associations, lake management districts, and the City's stormwater management utility. ■ Upon annexation of the PAA, it is anticipated that Federal Way will expand its water quality program to provide more lake water quality management and surface water quality monitoring. This could include a variety of program elements, such as volunteer groups, monitoring stations, community organization, and public education. ■ Federal Way will need to increase other stormwater program components to include the PAA. A notable expansion element will be a field inventory of the storm drainage system, which is a part of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination requirement in the Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. • Potential , „;t.,l is . „6,.ipa4e to ; eledei I _ _ ii_ . r ..

King County has been responsible for maintenance of public roadways and accompanying facilities, such as shoulders, sidewalks, traffic signs, striping and signals, guardrails, and landscaping. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has jurisdiction over state highways within the PAA. State highways located within the boundaries of the lea PAA includeinter-state5 (14), SR-18, cD 99 (Paei e Highway Saut ` and SR-161 (Enchanted Parkway South). The City of Feer-a Way ; euffently responsible for- the maipAeaanee of these f4eilities within the City limits, exeept 15 and SR 19, whi are ettffen4ly maintained by WSDOT-. Transit service, including several park and ride facilities along the 1- 5 corridor, is provided by King County Metro. The majority of the street network in the PAA is characteristically rural with asphalt concrete pavement, gravel shoulders, and ditches for drainage purposes. The street network is largely underdeveloped, with many cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets creating insufficient connectivity. Furthermore, a general lack of sidewalks and existing luminairesstreet lights inhibit pedestrian traffic and present public safety concerns. Luminaifees Street lights are limited to street intersections along arterial streets and newer subdivisions, with very few mid -block street lid along arterial streets. Most arterial corridors in the PAA, particularly in the southeast, lack sidewalks and, in most Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-45 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 681 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas cases, are poorly lit. Table VIII-6 has not been updated since 2003; however, it is being retained for illustrative purposes. As shown in this table, Table 1 VW 1 ? sidewalks are a smaller percent of lane road miles.

Transportation Goal Establish a safe, coordinated, and linked multimodal transportation system serving local and area -wide travel needs. Transportation Policies Revised-2M 2015 PAA Trans —1 Prior to annexations, Subafeas, the City and eCounty should jointly classify streets in the PAA consistent with federal, state, and City guidelines, and future roadway usage. Joint City/county street standards should also be established, such as the City of Federal Way standards, a hybrid of standards, or others as determined by the City and eCounty. This may be achieved through an interlocal agreement and any required county comprehensive plan amendments. The joint classification system will help ensure a common set of standards are applied as new roadway improvements are proposed and implemented in the PAA, and that the roadways meet City standards upon annexation. The City classification system for the PAA is presented in Map VIII-9. PAA Trans — 2 Joint City and eCounty street standards identified in PAA Trans-1 should address: ■ Property access ■ Street signs ■ Street lighting ■ Pedestrian and bicycle safety ■ Street widths PAA Trans — 3 As development proposals are pfopesidentified or capital improvements are implemented in the PAA prior to annexation, the City and eCounty should encourage the connection of streets when considering subdivision or street improvement proposals, unless prevented by topographic or environmental constraints. The City and eCounty should limit the use of cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers to a coordinated transportation network in the community. PAA Trans — 4 The City should work with the eCounty to ensure uniform maintenance standards for public streets are instituted and conducted by the county until such time as annexation occurs. VIII-52 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 688 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas PAA Trans — 5 Prior to annexation of PAA properties, the c-County, in consultation with the City, should review high accident locations, and improve street safety and functions focusing efforts at the most critical locations. PAA Trans - 6 To ensure that City and c-County LOS standards are met as development occurs prior to annexation, the City and c-County should agree to joint implementation of LOS standards for concurrency. Development applicants should prepare reports that contain dual analysis of the county's Transportation Adequacy Measurement (TAM) and Roadway Segment level of service standards and the City's LOS E intersection standard. PAA Trans — 7 Prior to annexation of the Northeast and Southeast Subareas, a coordinated Capital Improvement Program (CIP) should be prepared between the City and c-County to ensure that improvements required to meet levels of service are implemented concurrent with development. PAA Trans — 8 The City and c-County shall continue to coordinate with park -and -ride and transit service providers in establishing appropriate LOS for the PAA, promoting alternative modes and assisting the achievement of LOS standards. PAA Trans — 9 Prior to annexation of the Northeast and Southeast Subareas, as part of a PAA interlocal agreement the City and c-County shall establish a regional traffic planning and mitigation payment system. 8.1-9 8.9 PRIVATE UTILITIES Utilities described in this section include electric (power), natural gas, telephone, and cable. Public utilities are described under Public Services and Capital Facilities Section 8.10 . Private utility providers rely on coordination of information such as population and employment forecasts, as well as coordination of construction activities, such as street improvements.

The current service providers, levels of service, or costs of services including fire protection, library, schools, and water and wastewater will remain unchanged. However, it is important that the City and service providers coordinate planning efforts to match services and facilities with the current and future population and employment levels. Eaeh of the s nmarizedbelow based on the Mareh 19, 2002 AM Inventory. Fire Services South King Fire & Rescue (SKFR), formerly known as Tthe Federal Way Fire Department (F l )-provides service to the City of Federal Way, the City of Des Moines, and most of the surrounding unincorporated area in the Federal Way PAA. However, *'�� SKFR is a standalone municipal entity organized under Title 52 RCW and, as such, is not part of the City of Federal Way government. Both the cities of Federal Way and Des Moines have "annexed into" SKFR by a public vote for the provision of fire and life safety services. The FWFD was fofmed i 1990 f. ., series ^fner-ger-s, whieh united s&ver-al smaller- fire distfiets in the area, seme of W-hieh had been in existenee sinee 1946. The resulting boundary eneempasses some 34 square miles a -ad has estima4ed peptil pie of over- inn nnn SKEW s current service boundarywas formed in 2006 from a series of mergers uniting five 5) fire districts in the area, some of which had been in existence since 1946, beginning in the early 1970s and culminatingin n the latest merger in 2006. The resulting boundary encompasses some 41 square miles and has an estimated population of over 150,000. Services provided by *'�� SKFR include fire suppression, fire prevention (building inspection and public information), public education (via the Community Affairs Office), emergency medical, ^n,1 eommunioations ^en*er operation r^F 911 emeFgeney ^^"s hazardous materials response. technical rescue response. surface water rescue. marine fire and rescue response via a fire boat located at the Des Moines marina. and numerous other related fire and life safety services. Emergency medical response calls or service make up a majority of the calls for the FWFD SKFR, which totaled 17,695 calls for service in 2014 alone. The PAA is served by four of the FWF� SKFR's eight stations (Map VIII-13). One Two of these stations is -are located outside of the PAA, Station 64 within the City of Federal Way, and Station 66 within the Woodmont/Redondo area. The other fire stations serving the PAA are located within the Lakeland and Camelot community subareas. The fire station in the Camelot area lies on the border- of the Camelot and NeAh Lake eemffmnity ub servedby the FWFP to be s ,^a by Fire Distfiet 26 if either- ,.ai4y should give the Stacie SKFR also provides service to the Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-63 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 699 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas due to recent annexations by the City of Auburn on the west hill service area that SUR previously held within its service boundaries (VRFA provides service to Auburn, Algona, and Pacific). SKFR's response on the west hill area of Auburn is provided via an Interlocal Agreement, wherein SKFR responds into the City of Auburn area on a first due basis. This response is normally handled by Station 65. TLrixe FWFD SKFR has purchased property at South 288th and Interstate 5 as a contingency should they rood to-eplaee Station 66. This woi4d aecommodate the building of a new station that is more eentrally portions f the Fede ., l Way PAA-. the City of Auburn annex additional area on the west hill potentially necessitatingthe replacement of Station 65 in the Camelot area. This would accommodate the building of a new station that is more centrally located in the north end of the City. For the City and PAA Planning efforts, the City has worked closely with the SKFR in reviewing the Fire District Master Plan, which complies with the GMA. The master plan identifies the new facilities the SKFR will need to continue providing service as its service area grows. The City included the >�'s SKFR's new facilities requirements and cost and revenue estimates in the City's Capital Facilities chapter. Library Services Library services are provided by King County. There are no public libraries inside the PAA, but there are six libraries of different sizes serving residents of the PAA including: Algona -Pacific Library — 5,250 square feet (medium) 255 Ellingson Road Auburn Library — 15,000 square feet (resource) 1102 Auburn Way South Federal Way 320th Library — 10,000 square feet (large) 848 South 320th Street Federal Way Regional Library — 25, 000 square feet (regional) 34200 First Way South Kent Regional — 22,500 square feet (regional) 2-� 212 2nd Avenue North Woodmont Library — 5,250 square feet (medium) 26809 Pacific Highway South King County Library System (KCLS) plans for capital projects, including expansions, depend on the KCLS board determining whether they wish to propose a bond issue to King County voters and whether it passes. The KCLS staff and board have discussed many possible projects for such a bond issue and some of the libraries serving the PAA have been included. However, there are no capital plans or funds to provide library services in the PAA at this time. Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-64 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 700 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas Schools/Education Probably more than any other special district, a school district provides an area with a sense of community. The Federal Way School District #210 (FWSD, as outlined on Map VIII-14) extends from the county line south to South 252nd west of I-5 and South 232nd Street, east of I-5 to the north, and for the most part along the edge of the plateau to the east. A school district provides a common thread, be it through school activities such as organized sports, or through voting during elections. City staff meets regularly with FWSD administrators to discuss growth management and school development issues. The FWSD primarily serves students in the cities of Federal Way, Des Moines, Auburn, and Kent, and unincorporated King County. The FWSD administration has indicated in these meetings that they would prefer to work with one jurisdiction as the FWSD attempts to anticipate growth and develop plans for new school facilities. Nine schools are located in the PAA, including & elomeH4afy six elementary schools, one two junier- h�gk middle schools, and one high school (as outlined on Map VIII-14). Aside from rr>,,.mas jeffer-sea High Sehool, all s,.b,eels within .,,,a s g the PAA hm-e 0 student demand beyead the building eapaeity, 0 tis0 of per -table lass -,,ems Water and Wastewater The Lakehaven Utility District (LUD) and Highline Water District (HWD) provide water service to properties within the PAA. As indicated on Map VIII-1 S, the current LUD boundary is generally bordered on the south by the Pierce/King County line, on the east by the Green River Valley, and on the west by Puget Sound. The LUD's northern boundary is generally bordered by South 272nd Street with a narrow strip extending along Puget Sound to South 252nd Street. Maps contained in the LUD's water system comprehensive plan describe an extensive system of wells, storage tanks, and distribution mains. The water distribution infrastructure is sufficient to provide water to virtually all of the LUD. The HWD water service area boundary encompasses most of the PAA Star Lake community subarea and parts of the City of Federal Way (Map VIII-1 S). Both the 449.9 2014 LUD Comprehensive Water System Plan and 2002 HWD Capital Improvement Plan have identified the following water quality and service goals and objectives: maintain their water systems and water quality to the highest level of service and at least the level required by applicable regulations; participate in the conservation efforts to maximize existing water supply resources and develop new water resources; and install new water distribution systems as necessary to serve the existing and future populations within their districts. Both districts have existing rate structures and capability to ensure this level of service. Wastewater systems in the PAA include both septic and sanitary sewer systems. Sanitary sewer service is available in several areas outside the City limits, including the Camelot/ Star Lake area, north of Lake Dolloff, nand Woodmont, a small area east of I-5 Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-65 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 701 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas and south of Kitts Corner Road, a -ad pl of the Alleyer-h ease - G fpa - to eamptts e€1 5 (see Map VIII-16). �. .. The City of Federal Way's responsibility with regard to the water and wastewater systems will be limited to updating the FWCP in future years in accordance with the City's regular planning efforts, and providing development applications to the LUD and HWD for their input as part of the City's development review committee process. Public Services and Capital Facilities Goals and Policies Public Services and Capital Facilities Goal Provide effective, efficient, and quality capital facilities and services at the level necessary to meet community needs and support allowed growth. Public Services and Capital Facilities Policies In addition to governance and intergovernmental coordination policies, the following policies are established. PAA CapFac —1 Prior to annexation, the City, in conjunction with King the County, should develop and maintain an inventory of capital facilities in the PAA. As new information becomes available, supplementary inventories should be completed for surface water facilities and roadway improvements to bridge gaps in information identified in the Final Potential Annexation Area Inventory, City of Federal Way, March 18, 2002. PAA CapFac — 2 City and eCounty plans should address the PAA to ensure that systems are reviewed comprehensively, and in order to support desired annexation phasing. PAA CapFac — 3 Through an interlocal agreement prior to annexation, shared City- eCounty capital facility maintenance standards should be Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-66 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 702 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas implemented. Standards, funding, and practices should seek to avoid maintenance deferrals prior to annexation. Maintenance standards should be consistent with approved functional plans for transportation, stormwater, parks, and other systems that would become a part of the City system upon annexation. PAA CapFac — 4 The City should allow for a variety of service delivery or revenue enhancement options to increase the feasibility of annexation. Based on the PAA Annexation Feasibility Study, these options may include, but are not limited to: a. State of Washington and/or King County providing new resources to offset the significant cost of annexation, through such options as new local option sales tax, state grants, unspent county impact fees, county monetary incentives to annex, or others. b. The eCounty or City posing to voters general obligation bonds or general taxes. c. The eCounty or City proposing to create special limited districts in PAAs to pay for specific costs. d. Tax base expansions . e. Increase in fees for enterprise funds, such as surface water management or the solid waste program. £ When considering annexation proposals, the City could provide a lower level of service for one or more services. The reduction could be Citywide (e.g. lower park standards) or just in the PAAs (e.g. lower roadway pavement rating in the newly annexed neighborhoods). g. When considering annexation proposals, the City could explore alternative service delivery strategies, or customized strategies for specific neighborhoods tailored to the needs or characteristics of the PAA location. h. The City could address the difference in county and City levels of service by phasing -in the increases in level of service in the annexation area. i. The City could annex those areas that are financially self- supporting first, and then annex other areas in conjunction with other strategies to improve fiscal impact of these subsequent annexations, such as identified in "a" to "h" above. PAA CapFac-5 To avoid City assumption of nonconforming infrastructure, a coordinated capital improvement program should be prepared between the City and county. Such a program should be developed prior to annexation, particularly of the Northeast and Southeast Subareas, to ensure that improvements required to meet levels of service are implemented concurrent with new development. When considering annexation proposals that have significant existing nonconforming infrastructure, the City should consider service delivery and revenue enhancement options identified in Policy PAA CapFac-4. Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-67 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 703 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas R V) 8.11 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The GMA requires public participation in the adoption and amendment of comprehensive plans and development regulations, including the preparation of subarea plans like the 2003 Federal Way PAA Subarea Plan.

Public Participation Policy PAA Pub —1 Consistent with Washington State law, the City of Federal Way recognizes annexation as a process, which requires and benefits from public participation. As the City is the designated future municipal service provider to the PAA, the City should inform PAA residents, property owners, and business owners of City activities and invite participation from PAA residents, property owners, and business owners through the following efforts: a. Encourage City staff and elected officials to regularly attend civic and community organization meetings. b. Seek broad representation on boards, commissions, and advisory groups. c. Prior to action on City plans and regulations, seek and integrate public input through public workshops, meetings and hearings.

PAA Gov — 2 Through regional planning efforts, the C-County and City should ensure PAA plans are compatible with neighboring jurisdictions, including King and Pierce Counties, and the cities of Algona, Auburn, Edgewood, Kent, Milton, and Pacific. PAA Gov — 3 Coordinated planning efforts between the City, King County, Lakehaven Utility District, Highline Water District, Puget Sound Energy, Federal Way School District, and Federal Al" Fire Department South King County Fire should continue to assure managed growth supportive of the PAA land use, annexation phasing, and service delivery objectives. 8.14 8.1 ANNEXATION For purposes of efficient services, coordinated land planning and development, and unity between economically and socially related areas, annexation may be desired by citizens, property owners, and the City. As noted above, the GMA provides for coordinated urban growth area planning between counties and cities with the intent that urban and urbanizing areas ultimately be served by municipalities. In the GMA framework, annexations may occur only within a jurisdiction's designated PAA. By addressing its city limits and PAA in its comprehensive plan, the City is responding to the GMA framework to manage growth, provide efficient services, and meet community needs in the broader Federal Way community. • The Eleet;,,,..

MVj -Si.T..NINON Annexation Goals and Policies Annexation Goals Provide a frameworkfor processing annexation requests. Annexation Policies PAA Annex —1 The City should give priority consideration to annexation proposals that are financially self-sufficient, or those where the fiscal impact can be improved through annexation strategies such as those identified in Policy PAA CapFac-4. As areas become feasible for annexation, such areas may be prioritized for annexation in accordance with the following: Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-71 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 707 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas a. Priority criteria should include: ■ Neighborhood willingness to annex. ■ Land use developability where urban densities may be achieved, rate of growth indicating City oversight of growing area would ensure compatible development with City goals and requirements, and other similar land use factors. ■ Ability to provide a balance in costs and revenues to the City. ■ City's ability to provide appropriate levels of service. ■ The annexation includes areas with regionally serving infrastructure that meets City of Federal Way Level -of -Service (LOS) standards. Infrastructure examples may include parks and recreation facilities, arterial roadways, regional surface water detention facilities, etc. Annexation areas containing nonconforming infrastructure should have sufficient planning and funding mechanisms in place to assure existing LOS deficiencies are addressed. Sufficient planning mechanisms may include affected areas being addressed in capital facility plans. Sufficient funding mechanisms may include anticipated utility tax revenues from the affected area, and the establishment of a Local Improvement District to minimize any gaps in tax revenues. ■ Logical and reasonable service areas based on Policies PAA Annex-2 and PAA Annex-3. • b—Annexation of the geographic subareas may be phased over several years. PAA Annex — 2 The City should process annexation requests in accordance with review criteria. Review criteria should include: a. The proposal meets the priority criteria of PAA Annex — 1. ■ Annexations are an appropriate size. Appropriate size means an area that warrants the staff time and expense involved in processing annexation requests and complies with the goals of the GMA, VISION 2040, and the CWPP's. ■ Annexations generally should not have or create abnormally irregular boundaries. ■ The annexation must, to the greatest extent possible, preserve natural neighborhoods and communities. ■ The annexation proposal should use physical boundaries, including but not limited to, bodies of water, highways, and land contours, including meeting provisions of PAA Annex-3. ■ The annexation proposal should create and/or preserve logical service areas, including meeting provisions of PAA Annex-3. PAA Annex — 3 The City will use, but may not be limited to, the following factors in determining the specific location of an annexation proposal boundary. Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-72 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 708 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas a. The annexation boundary, where appropriate, should adjust any impractical or irregular boundaries created in the past. b. The annexation boundary should provide a contiguous and regular boundary with current City limits. c. The annexation boundary, where appropriate, should be drawn along property and/or existing or future right-of-way boundaries. Annexation boundaries, where possible, should not be drawn along right-of-way centerlines. d. PAA roadways contiguous to a proposed annexation area should not be included within the proposed annexation boundary, unless the roadways are contiguous to current City limits. e. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a PAA King County surface water management facility, the City Public Works Department should evaluate the facility and the water basins it serves to determine whether the boundary should be modified to include the public facility. f. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a PAA public recreation facility, the City Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department should evaluate the financial feasibility of modifying the annexation boundary to include the public facility. g. When a proposed annexation includes portions of a natural lake, the annexation boundary should be modified to include or exclude the entire lake area from the proposed annexation. h. When a proposed annexation is located in the vicinity of a PAA special purpose district facility (i.e. school, fire station, etc.), the City should consult with the respective district regarding modifying the boundary to include the special purpose district facility. PAA Annex — 4 Upon annexation, properties shall be required to assume FWCP designations and zoning as found i the adopted D" ^ Subairea Dan (Maps VIII-6 and VIII-7, respectively). a. The adopting ordinance for the pre -annexation plan and zoning shall specify the time interval following an annexation during which the ordinance adopting the pre - annexation plan and zoning, must remain in effect before it may be amended by the City. b. Any amendment to the pre -annexation land use plan 4tat is adopted as paA of the ,-ehe sive ph- comprehensive plan designations map or zoning map is subject to the general GMA limitation that the comprehensive plan may Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-73 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 709 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Eight, Potential Annexation Areas be amended no more frequently than once a year, unless exceptions are met. PAA Annex — 5 Where appropriate, the City and/or county should allow development agreements in the PAA that are consistent with the .,ppr-, veSHbarea P4&w this chapter and M plans adopted as part of the annexation proposal. PAA Annex — 6 The City will require owners of land annexing into Federal Way to assume their proportion of existing City bonded indebtedness. PAA Annex — 7 The City and county will work with affected neighborhoods upon annexation to provide a smooth transition from King County to City of Federal Way administration. PAA Annex — 8 The City should establish departmental service needs prior to major annexations through a fiscal impact analysis. As revenues from each annexation area are collected, increase City services to maintain current citywide levels of service or determine other level of service phasing, reduction, or customization as identified in Policy PAA CapFac-4. � !�Krrrs�f�seeesr_es. .� Revised-2M 2015 1 VIII-74 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 710 of 804 Community Level Subarea -- Ste, lake Boundaries Federal Way PAA Potential Annexatio Area Element Lege Fe al Way Steel Lake �e ona Auburn " Des Moines " ' I Auburn Kent Milton Pacific a' Federal Way, P.A.A.

Businesses people and citizens also make location decisions based, in , on quality of life factors and one might afpe tht therefore the quality of the natural environment is also important to the economic vitality of the City. Finally, maintaining the viability of the natural environment is prudent and cost effective public policy. H-, 4 or example, the if the City maintains or improves the natural drainage system and how it functions, it will save tax dollars by not having to build and maintain costly storm drainage facilities. The intent of this chapter, a- d the goals ma p,.heies it eefft i-ffi, is to guide future actions such that the quality of the natural environment is maintained or improved. State's Growth Management Act and Countywide Planning Policies The Growth Management Act (GMA) defines critical areas as: wetlands_; areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers reehafge areas used for potable water, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, frequently flooded areas, and geologically hazardous areas. Pursuant to the periodic major update policies of the GMA (RCW 36.70A.069130 5 a ), the City d-updated its environmentally critical area regulations in 449-3 2015 to meet Best Available Science requirements. fegu4ftte development i r*^"• i sitive ^ ^ .

The region acknowledges that the health of all residents is connected to the health of the environment. Planning at all levels should consider the impacts of land use, development patterns, and transportation on the ecosystem." (3) GMA Planning Goal (10 Environment). Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water." 9.1 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT GOALS AND POLICIES Environmental Stewardship Federal Way recognizes that the natural environment is an intrinsic part of the urban fabric for the following important reasons: • It provides opportunities for recreation; • It provides habitat for .fish, wildlife, and plant life; • It is part of the City's surface water management system Figure 1 Example of proposed residential subdivision that and water supply; complements natural surroundings. Source AHBL, Inc. • It creates a positive courtesy of Puget Sound Partnership (2005) visual image and open space; • It supports economic development goals; and • It is cost effective public policy. The merits and costs of environmental actions must be weighed and balanced against other important demands, such as public safety, recreation, housing, public infrastructure, and -economic development, and private property rights. Revised-2015 I IX-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 738 of 804 FWCP —Chapter Nine, Natural Environment Goal NEG1 To preserve the City's natural systems in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, and to maintain the integrity of the natural environment. Policies The City's natural environment is composed of a wide variety of landforms, soils, watercourses, and vegetation. The City's terrain ranges from steep hills and ridgelines to plateaus and lakes. Soil types vary from loam in the lowlands to sand, gravel, and till in the uplands. Land use and development practices need to be compatible with this variety of environmental conditions. As a general rule, the City intends to protect the natural environment rather than try to overcome its limitations for development. NEP1 Protect and restore environmental quality through implementation of land use plans, surface water management plans and programs, comprehensive park plans, and development review. NEP2 Preserve and restore ecological functions, and enhance natural beauty, by encouraging community development patterns and site planning that maintains and complements natural landforms. NEP3 Plant suitable native trees and vegetation within degraded stream, wetlands, lake buffers, and steep slopes. NEN The City twill continue to work Ft -with internal departments, state; and regional agencies, as well ,..: neighboring jurisdictions, and tribes; to protect sensitive environmentally critical areas and the City's natural environment. NEPS To assist in evaluating existing and proposed environmental policy, the City should prepare -continue to update inventories for each type of sensitive environmentally critical area to augment data received from other information sources. NEP6 Mitigation sequencing steps, which begin with avoiding impacts altogethery not taking certain action or parts of an action, should be applied to all projects where impacts to environmentally critical areas are proposed. NEP7 Implement and periodically Lipdate environmentally critical area regulations consistent with Best Available Science while also taking into consideration the City's obligation to meet urban -level densities and other requirements under the GMA. Revised-2015 I IM Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 739 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Nine, Natural Environment Pri, NEP68 Where appropriate, the City encourages private donations of land or conservation easements for sensitive environmentally critical areas and their associated buffers. NEP9 The City will continue to encourage utilization of the soil safely program and Model Remedies Guidance for properties impacted by the Tacoma Smelter Plume. NEP710 The City may continue to require ^,.,.. pleb, of environmental studies by qualified professionals to assess the impact and recommend appropriate miti ag tion of proposed development on seasitiw environmentally critical areas and areas that may be contaminated or development that may potentially cause contamination. v to Property Rights The City recognizes the importance of private grope rights as one of the 13 planning , goals of the GMA. When implementin development regulations, GMA requires the property rights of landowners be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. Goal NEG2 Balance the protection of environmentally critical areas with the rights o� Policies property owners. NEP11 Environmentally critical area regulations will be based on Best Available Science. NEP12 The City should review future amendments to the environmentally critical areas regulations to ensure that new provisions do not unreasonably hinder private propertrights. NEP13 The City will strive to enforce regulations and procedures on a consistent and equitable basis. NEP14 Environmentally critical area regulations should provide clear direction to property owners and applicants. NEP15 The repercussions of unauthorized alterations to environmentally critical area should be clearly stated and consistently enforced. NEP16 The City should help identify potential environmental constraints to property owners and applicants early in the permit application process and provide Revised-2015 I IX4 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 740 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Nine, Natural Environment guidance for permitting, best management practices, and effective environmental stewardship. NEP17 Continue the practice of providing a process for reasonable use exception when the implementation of environmentally critical areas regulations deprives a property owner of all reasonable use of their property. 9.2 WATER RESOURCES Water resources include: streams, lakes, frequently flooded areas, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, and shorelines. The aquifers and aquifer recharge areas are the-pfiraafy-a source Hof the community's drinking water. The streams and wetlands are an essential part of the City's stormwater drainage system that provides necessary flood and erosion control. The lakes and shorelines provide fish and wildlife habitat and ,,altlea high quality places for recreation. To protect the value and function of each individual-paftfeature, water resources must be managed as an integrated system. Use and modification of water resources and the surrounding terrestrial environment affects how the hydrologic cycle functions. The inappropriate alteration of water resources can cause detrimental impacts such as flooding, erosion, degradation of water quality, reduction in groundwater, and habitat loss. In order to minimize adverse impacts to water resources and to ensure their continued viability, the City promotes responsible land and water resource planning and use. Policies, regulations, and standards are identified in the City's Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan. The City will permit development in a manner that protects water quality and ensures continued ecological and hydrologic functioning of water resources. Protection should include maintenance of stream base flows, allowance of natural water level fluctuations in wetlands, aquifer recharge, and stream corridor habitat preservation. Due to the limited capacity of the underlying aquifers and increased water demand, the City also encourages groundwater conservation measures. �. -J, .., . .

Water from rainfall. snowmelt. lakes. streams. and wetland seeps into the ground and collects in porous areas of rock, sand, and gravel called aquifers. Aquifers hold varyi�ng amounts of groundwater that can be extracted or pumped for use. "l�Groundwater pumped from Lakehaven Utility District wells on ing at _s has H-eeufea w tef f+ef E its from €ea -three aquifer systems that underlie the City: the Redondo -Milton Channel Aquifer, the Intermediate Aquifer System tMirror Lake Aqui€er and Eastern Upland Aquifers), and the Federa1Way LDeep Aquifer-,and4he Eastef Upland n qui (Map IX-11, n e leeated at the end of the ehaptor a*d wefe revised i 7007 as paft of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments).

Map IX-2, Areas Susceptible to Groundwater Contamination, is a map produced by the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services and Seattle -King County Health Department as a result of the study entitled Mapping Aquifer Susceptibility to Contamination in King County. This study looked at three criteria: soils, surface geology, and depth to groundwater. Based on these criteria, areas were mapped as low, medium, or high susceptibility to contamination from activities occurring in the area. This information is the best available at this time and will be used along with other information on streams, wetlands, and wildlife habitat to determine appropriate zoning. Goal NEG3 To protect and enhance aquifer recharge areas. Policies NEP198 The City, in cooperation with Lakehaven Utility District, should identify and map aquifer recharge areas within the City and its potential annexation area. Such areas shall be subject to regulations to protect the integrity of identified aquifer recharge areas. NEP-2019-The City should encourage the retention of surface water runoff in wetlands, regional retention facilities, and detei4ien ponds, and low impact development stormwater facilities, or use other similar stormwater management techniques to promote aquifer recharge. NEP2470 The City should establish land use and building controls to use stormwater infiltration such as low impact development and green stormwater infrastructure techniques wherever feasible, and to minimize the amount of impervious surface created by development. NEP21 Encourage water reuse and reclamation for irrigation and other non -potable water needs. NEP22 While offering a contribution to groundwater recharge, the City recognizes that septic tank and drain field systems have a potentially adverse impact on groundwater quality within the aquifers. If adequate engineering solutions are Revised-2015 1 IX-9 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 745 of 804 FWCP —Chapter Nine, Natural Environment available, the City may require connection to sanitary sewer service where poor soil conditions persist and/or sewer service is available. NEP23 The City will protect the quality and quantity of groundwater supplies by supporting water use conservation programs and adopting regulations to minimize water pollution. The effect of groundwater withdrawals and artificial recharge on streams, lakes, and wetlands within the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound drainage basins will be evaluated through coordination with the Lakehaven Utility District. Wellhead Protection Areas The City will take preventative measures to avoid contamination in areas surrounding well sites Hbecause residents of the Gi felyies-rely on groundwater as a source for their drinking water_, suffetmdiag well sites. In addition, The City and Lakehaven Utility District work cooperatively to implement the state's Wellhead Protection Program and Section 1428 of the 1986 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, which generally requires mapping wellhead protection zones and establishing an interagency wellhead protection plan. The intent of the wellhead protection program is to be proactive and prevent contamination of groundwater used for drinking water. The objective of wellhead protection is to protect the health of people using groundwater supplies for drinking water. This is accomplished by providing management zones around public wells or wellfields to detect and manage potential sources of groundwater contamination. Another goal of the program is to promote awareness of special efforts to protect the groundwater and urge customers to take a proactive approach to protecting the source of the City's drinking water. Map IX-3 maps wellhead protection areas around each of Lakehaven's 13 wells that provide drinking water to the area. The primary zones of wellhead protection are defined using a time of groundwater travel criteria. The three principal zones are delineated using one, five, and ten year time of travel factors. ._ .� _ r_er�serase�sx!� ._ Revised-2015 I IX-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 746 of 804 Revised-2015 I IX-10 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 746 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Nine, Natural Environment ■ .� _mur HIM pill rMr IN 11101 111111 IN .

Policies NEP24 The City will continue to work in conjunction with leeal water- pu-Fv eye Lakehaven Utility District to delineate Wellhead Protection Areas for each well and wellfield as required and outlined by the state's Wellhead Protection program. NEP25 The City will continue to work with water purveyors to model and map Wellhead Protection Areas, as funds are budgeted for such modeling and mapping. NEP26 The City will continue to work with Lakehaven Utility District, through a process developed by a joint City/District Wellhead Protection Committee, to conduct an inventory of all potential sources of groundwater contamination within the Wellhead Protection Areas and assess the potential for contamination. NEP27 The City should establish an interagency Wellhead Protection Committee to coordinate and implement a Wellhead Protection Plan, as is required by current state regulations. Revised-2015 I IX-12 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 748 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Nine, Natural Environment NEP28 The City will work with water purveyors, through a process developed by a joint City/District Wellhead Protection Committee, to develop a contingency plan for the provisions of alternate drinking water supplies in the event of well or wellfield contamination, as funds are budgeted for such purpose. NEP29 The City should establish buffer zones of sufficient size to protect wellhead areas. Streams and Lakes (Surface Water) The City of Federal Way is located within the Hylebos Creek, Lower Puget Sound, Lower Green River, and Mill Creek drainage basins. These basins contain an integrated system of lakes and streams that provide a natural drainage system for over 36 square miles of southwest King County and northeast Pierce County (Map IX-4). Due to rapid urbanization, this natural system has been altered and in many areas no longer provides many of its original functions or habitats. The primary focus of the policies belE)W s to restore the natural functions that the City's lakes Figure 3 Redondo Creek. Credit ESA and streams once provided. Moreover, the CAIPD" ^ra the City's policies below acknowledge that it is more cost effective to restore the natural system than it is to construct a man-made equivalent.

NEP31 Surface water management facilities that use natural streams and lakes for storage should ensure that those natural features are not adversely impacted by their inclusion in the City's surface water managementsystem. NEP32 The City may regulate private development and public actions to protect water quality and to ensure adequate in -stream flow to protect fisheries, wildlife habitat, and recreation resources. NEP33 The City will seek to retain native vegetation within riparian corridors. New planting of vegetation with the approval from the City may be required where such revegetation will enhance the corridor's function. Consideration should be given to the removal of non-native invasive species. NEP34 Lakes should be protected and enhanced by proper management of w surface waters and shorelines, by improvements in water quality, b-y-removal of invasive plant species, encouragingnplanting, limiting the use of fertilizers/pesticides or other chemicals, and by restoration of fish and wildlife habitat. NEP35 The City should adopt stream definitions and water typing that are reflective of stream function and habitat. The water typing system should provide rg eater protections for streams that are known to be used by salmon and streams that provide suitable habitat for salmon. In addition, Tthe definitions should make a distinction between manmade conveyance systems and natural streams. NEP36 The City should continue to ielimit stream relocation projects, the placing of streams in culverts, and the crossing of streams for both public and private projects. Where applicable in stream corridors, the City should consider structures that are designed to promote fish migration and the propagation of wildlife habitat. NEP37 Continue to enforce Eerosion control measures shall be used for ally -work in or adjacent to stream or lake buffers. NEP38 Appropriate mitigation for detrimental impacts may be required for construction work within the buffer area associated with a stream for a lake.

NEP40 For public access lakes, the City will take a lead role to develop and implement proactive comprehensive watershed and lake management plans and policies that are needed to identify and anticipate problems and prevent further deterioration, which could lead to costly lake restoration efforts in the future. Lake management plans identify problems, recommend solutions, and outline plans for implementation. The City will take an administrative role in assisting residents on private lakes to setup and run Lake Management Districts for the implementation of lake management plans. Frequently Flooded Areas Frequently flooded areas are defined as, "...areas in the floodplain subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year including but not limited to, such areas as streams, lakes, and wetlands." Development in flood plains reduces the storage capacity and increases the amount of runoff. Increased runoff overtaxes both natural and man-made conveyance systems and leads to increased costs associated with the damage eto public and private property. Frequently flooded areas within the City are located alongthe he Puget Sound shoreline and regulated by the Federal Way Shoreline Master Program (SMP . impaetsmajor- r jufisdietiem flooding, or r tuf l 0 0 thee. and n. outside Goal NEG6 To prevent the loss of life-onek property, and habitat in frequently flooded areas.

Revised-2015 I IX-15 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 751 of 804 FWCP —Chapter Nine, Natural Environment NEP42 Any approved construction should follow the mitigation recommendations of a Habitat Assessment report. NEP4-13 In frequently flooded areas, the City should restrict the rate and quantity of surface water runoff to pre -development levels for all new development and redevelopment, in accordance with the current adopted technical design manual requirements. NEP4-24 Where feasible, the City shall protect and enhance natural flood storage and conveyance function of streams, lakes, and wetlands. Wetlands Wetlands are valuable natural resources. There are several types of wetlands in the City and each plays a valuable role in the hydrological system. The various types of wetlands Wetlands types include marshes, bogs, ponds, forested, lake -fringe and scrub -shrub _wetlands. By storing floodwaters, wetlands reduce flooding and down stream erosion; trap and absorb sediments; and improve water quality by filtering ollutants. Fui4her3 PWetlands also discharge water to aquifers and streams and -which helps serve -to replenish groundwater and maintain base flows of .,uf ee water- syste streams. T�wWetlands are productive biological systems providing rich -diverse habitat for fish and wildlife, and important storage capacity for the hydrologic system. Federal Way has several regionally significant wetland areas. The largest can be found in and adjacent to the West Hylebos State Park, Dash Point State Park, Dumas Bay, and throughout Spring Valley.

Policies NEP629 As feasible, the City will conduct studies needed to identify and map critical fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas and may re-evaluate existing regulations for the protection of these areas. NEP6370The City should manage aquatic and riparian (stream side) habitat in away that minimizes its alteration in order to preserve and enhance its ability to sustain fish and wildlife. NEP6471 The City should preserve and enhance native vegetation in riparian habitat wherever possible. NEP6572The City should encourage residents and businesses to use native plants in residential and commercial landscaping. NEP6673 The City w4l7should protect wildlife corridors in the -City owned open space where appr-opfiate. These areas should use native plants that support native species of birds and animals where ^^pr-epf ate. NEP74 Support community and non-profit efforts to restore fish and wildlife conservation areas with native vegetation. NEP75 As feasible, continue the property acquisition program in Spring alley, which not only provides natural flood storage but also preserves wildlife habitat and provides corridors for their movement. NEP676—As feasible, the City will adopt and implement fish habitat conservation plans for the salmon runs in the Hylebos drainage, Lakota Creek, Joe's Creek, and any other identified salmon streams. These plans will include recommendations for improvements to the riparian corridor and provisions for adequate buffers adjacent to all proposed development. Revised-2015 I IX-25 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 761 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Nine, Natural Environment NEP6877The City should encourage informational and educational programs and activities dealing with the protection of wildlife.

This ehapt^r deser- bes theleeatio e &Eistiag and The GMA requires the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) to have internal consistency. This means that the Private Utilities chapter must be fully coordinated with other chapters of the FWCP. This is particularly important for Federal Way's City Center and in the I-5/99 corridor where new development and other land use change is anticipated in the near future. In aeeef ar^^ .. it WAC 365-195-320(;(c W3 requires this a Private Utilities chapter to includes pthe general location, proposed location, and capacity for all existing and proposed utilities, including, but not limited to, electrical lines, telecommunication lines, and natural gas lines, eleetfieit-ytelecewm�maie-atiensZand c-able television serviee for - City Geunei!.��yed p n n Boundary,mB Fay leeated at the end of the ehapter- a -ad were r-&vised in 2007 as part of the 2 Gempr-ehensive -Plan ). Each utility plan describes and analyzes existing and proposed utility systems within Federal Way and improvements necessary to meet growing consumer demand. Information used to develop the plan was provided by private utilities. In mest eases, maps are provided to illustrate the existing system pFepesed;r,. r-oveme Private utility companies are continually upgrading and expanding their systems, therefore, maps quickly become obsolete. However, Puget Sound Energy (� PSE) provided a map of their existing and proposed electrical facilities as of 2012 (Map X-1,). Plans for water supply and sewer are found in the Capital Facilities chapter of the FWCP. The City sees the GMA requirement to prepare a Private Utilities chapter as an opportunity to identify ways of improving the quality of services provided within the City. The City will use this Private Utilities chapter to identify goals and develop policies to ensure that: provision of utilities is properly coordinated with land use; ut, ility provision minimizes impacts upon public facilities such as roads:: sustainable sources of power generation are encouraged; and technological innovation is facilitated. Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 775 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Ten, Private Utilities Itole ■1011114va1.%1101:&C11;Z6111z101 The GMA, VISION 2040, and the King CogjM Countywide Planning Policies CWPPs) call for a full range of urban services in the Urban Growth Area (UGA) to support the Regional Growth Strategy. They also state that facilities should be sited in ways to avoid adverse social, environmental, and economic impacts. This Private Utilities chapter is consistent with these goals and policies. Thel Growth Management Act Goal No. 12 of The GMA refers to public facilities and services as follows: Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. VISION 2 Key private utilities addressed in VISION 2040 include solid waste, energy, and telecommunications. As the region plans for ,growth, conservation and improved efficiencies in providing services are essential. An overarching goal of VISION 2040 is to provide sufficient and efficient public services and facilities in a manner that is healthy, safe, and economically viable. Multicounty planning policies address conservation measures to increase recycling and reduce waste. They also encourage more efficient use of renewable and alternative energy. VISION 2040 also encourages improving infrastructure to support development and maintain healthy and livable communities. Having reliable power and telecommunications, along with other services and infrastructure, contributes to quality of life and the re ig on's economic well-being. The following are VISION 2040 policies most relevant to Federal Way: MPP-PS-12: Promote the use of renewable energy resources to meet the re ig on's energy needs. MPP-PS-13: Reduce the rate of energy consumption through conservation and alternative energy forms to extend the life of existing facilities and infrastructure. Revised M 2015 X-2 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 776 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Ten, Private Utilities MPP-PS-14: Plan for the provision of telecommunication infrastructure to serve growth and development in a manner that is consistent with the regional vision and friendly to the environment. Coo Intywide Planning Policies The 2012 King County Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs) includes the following overarching goal for private utilities: County residents in both Urban and Rural Areas have access to the public services needed in order to advance public health and safety, protect the environment, and carry out the out the Regional Growth Strategy. The following are CWPPs most relevant to Federal Wad PF-13 Reduce the solid waste stream and encourage reuse and recycling_ PF-14 Reduce the rate of energy consumption through efficiency and conservation as a means to lower energy costs and mitigate environmental impacts associated with traditional energy supplies. PF-15 Promote the use of renewable and alternative energy resources to help meet the county's long-term energy needs, reduce envirommental impacts associated with traditional energ.�supplies, and increase community sustainability. PF-16 Plan for the provision of telecommunication infrastructure to serve growth and development in a manner consistent with the regional and countywide vision. 10.12 RtGULATORY ORGA NIZATION A i AND LEGAL CONTEXT Privately owned electrical, natural gas, and line telephone utilities are regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC).

PSE is part of a Western -states regional coordination system and provides electric service to over 1.1 million customers in nine Washington State counties. Electrici , is produced elsewhere and transported to switching stations in Kent and Renton through hi huge transmission lines. As electricity nears its destination, the voltage is reduced and redistributed through lower - voltage transmission lines, distribution substations, and smaller transformers. PSE provides electrical service to approximately 39,700 electric customers in Federal Way_ Also within the city are several 115 kV transmission lines and a number of neighborhood distribution substations. The 115 kV lines also deliver electrical energy to other neighborhood substations in communities adjacent to Federal Way. PSE imports electrical energy from generation sources in Canada, the Columbia River basin and other regions outside of PSE's service territory. Additionally, PSE has its own hydro, thermal, wind and solar power -generating facilities. There are also about 1,500 small, customer -owned generation facilities that are interconnected with PSE's system and can export surplus energy into the grid. The vast majority of these are solar panel installations. Althoughprovides a very small portion of PSE's electrical supply portfolio, the number of customer -owned installations increases more every year. PSE's Integrated Resource Plan(IRP) is updated and filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission every two years. The current plan, which was submitted in May of 2013, details the energy resources needed to reliably meet customers' wintertime, peak -hour electric demand over the next 20 years. The plan, which will be updated in the fall of 2015, forecasted that PSE would have to acquire approximately 4,900 megawatts of new power -supply capacity by 2033. This resource need is driven mainly by expiring purchased -power contracts and expected population and economic growth in the Puget Sound region. The IRP suggests that roughly half of the utility's long-term electric resource need can be met by energy efficiency and the renewal of transmission contracts. The IPR stated that the rest of PSE's gap in long-term power resources is likely to be met most economically with added natural gas -hired resources. The capacity of individual electric lines depends on voltaLye. diameter of the wire. and the clearance to objects below the line. To meet this demand, some new transmission lines and substations will need to be constructed, as well as existing ones rebuilt and/or maintained. Utility work is sometimes needed to comply with federal system reliability regulations. Specific construction that is anticipated includes the following_ Revised M 2015 X-7 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 781 of 804 FWCP - Chapter Ten, Private Utilities • Expand Marine View substation to accommodate anew 115kV line that will improve reliability through an automatic switching scheme. • As electric loads increase a new 115kV transmission line will be necessar from the Christopher substation to the 115kV line that serves the Weyerhaeuser substation. This line would continue to the intersection of Enchanted Parkway South and Military Road South. Increases in the electric demand on the Weyerhaeuser campus and surrounding area may require additional substations in any combination of the Five Mile Lake, Enchanted Parkway or Weyerhaeuser substation areas.

Gasl Plan Puget Sound Energy provides natural gas service to more than 750,000 customers in six Western Washington counties: Snohomish, King, Kittitas, Pierce, Thurston, and Lewis. It is estimated that PSE currently serves over 18,880 gas customers within the City of Federal Way. Natural gas comes from gas wells in the Rockv Mountains and in Canada and is transported through interstate pipelines by Williams Northwest Pipeline to Puget Sound Energy's gate stations. Supply mains then transport the gas from the gate stations to district regulators where the pressure is reduced to less than 60 psig. The supply mains are made of welded steel pipe that has been coated and is cathodicallyprotected to prevent corrosion. They range in size from 4 to 20 inches. Distribution mains are fed from the district regulators. They range in size from 1'/4 to 8 inches and the pipe material typically is polyethylene (PE) or wrapped steel (STW). Individual residential service lines are fed by the distribution mains and are typicall1 or 1-1/8 inches in diameter. Individual commercial and industrial service lines are Wically 1'/4, 2, or 4 inches diameter. PSE Gas Svstem InteLyrity-Maintenance Planning has several DuPont manufactured main and service piping and STW main replacements planned for 2015. There will be several pipe investigations throughout the City to determine the exact location of the DuPont manufactured Dine. Identified DuPont manufactured niaina in PSE's entire system will be ranked and replaced accordingly. PSE Gas System Integrity -System Planning does not have an major projects planned in 2015 at this time, but new projects can be developed in the future at any time due to: 1. New or replacement of existing facilities to increase capaci , requirements due to new building construction and conversion from alternate fuels. 2. Main replacement to facilitate improved maintenance of facilities. 3. Replacement or relocation of facilities due to municipal and state projects.

Their facilities are constructed overhead and in some cases underground. afea as r-epla4ed by ALUTC roposed Improvements — The telephone industry tends to be secretive about their facilities and plans. For this reason the City had difficulty obtaining information and mapped facilityplans. Qw CenturyLink is required by law to provide adequate telecommunications services on demand in compliance with RCW80.36.090 and WUTC regulations. Accordingly, CenturyLinkQwest will provide facilities, upon reasonable notice, to accommodate whatever growth pattern occurs within the City. Due to advances in technology, additional capacity is easily and quickly added to the system. Revised M 2015 X-11 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 785 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Ten, Private Utilities Wireless Networks xisting Systems — The City of Federal Wey is currently served with a number of wireless service providers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and, Verizon.

Williams Communication has upgraded the City's conduits along Militar road. In 2013. the Citv of Federal Wav granted the Zavo Group. LLC a franchise for installation of fiber optic within certain empty and occupied conduit owned by the CitY. The main section of conduit runs along Pacific Highway South from approximately South 272nd Street to 16th Avenue South and South 340t1i Street. Additional conduits are located along South 320th Street, South 336th Street, South 348th Street, and Enchanted Parkway. In exchange for leasing the conduit. Zavo Groun. LLC is providing an extensive list of in -kind services to the City. Zayo is in the process of providingfiber optics at several intersections. This will enable the City to connect additional traffic signals via fiber optic for enhanced signal synchronizations. Zayo will connect the east and west portions of South 320th street over I-5 with fiber optics . which will greatly enhance the signal Other in -kind services provided by Zavo include improving certain conduits to increase capacity, allowing City Hall to connect to the Federal Way School District Educational Service Center; the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) for enhanced video arraignments; the Sabey Datacenter in Tukwila for future use for disaster recovery services; as well as a connection to the regional Community Connectivity Consortium. The Citv is responsible for its portion of maintenance and repair fees. should a fiber break occur. The in -kind services provided by Zayo are a huge benefit to the City both in the present and long term. Revised M 2015 X-15 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 789 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Ten, Private Utilities AT&T and CenW Link have fiber optic networks within the Ci , but they have not entered into franchises with the City. The City of Federal Way, City of Tacoma, King County, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and the School District also have fiber optic networks. Public agencies do not require franchises to operate in the City. 10.6 SQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT The City's Solid Waste Management roles include solid waste planning, public education and outreach, plus support and promotion of convenient and sustainable disposal and recycling options. The City administers contracts with service providers and monitors their performance in collecting solid waste, recyclables, compostable materials, waste, and public area litter. In this regard, the City is an advocate for ratepayers in obtainingthe service levels at the lowest cost. In addition, the City is active in managing litter and materials illegally dgm in public areas. A variety of other service providers manage specific waste types generated in the City, including service providers for demolition and land clearing debris, commercial bi- product management, bio-medical wastes, and charitable reuse. Regionally, Federal Way and Kinky have a long-term) Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement (SWIA) that is part of our solid waste planning foundation. The SWIA references the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (KC- CSWMP), a state -required plan that focuses on broader waste collection, processing, transfer, recycling, and disposal elements. The KC-CSWMP also incorporates some elements outside City purview (such as landfill operations and collection standards in adjacent unincorporated areas) that are relevant to our City's Waste Management system. Cities participate in periodic plan updates, plan ratification, then carry out the plan's objectives at the local level. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan incorporates the policies and initiatives that originate in the KC-CSWMP by reference. However, the City will also tailor KC-CSWMP elements to best meet Federal Way's solid waste planning and service administration obiectives. To maximize efficiency and effectiveness, solid waste and recycling_ shall also be considered along with the many other elements that go into building design and site planning. If site access, tenant access, or space for adequate containers is overlooked, it may mean long-term inefficiency and higher overall ratepayer costs. The Ci , will incorporate procedures into the plan review process and City code that promote adequate infrastructure to achieve these solid waste policies. Revised M 2015 X-16 Ordinance No. 15-796 Page 790 of 804 FWCP — Chapter Ten, Private Utilities 10.7 MOIDERATE RISK WASTE MANAGEMENT The Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County was established in 1990 in response to RCW 70.105.220 which requires jurisdictions to develop a plan for managing hazardous wastes generated by residents, businesses, and institutions. Jurisdictions within King ounty collaborated to develop the Local Hazardous Waste Management Prog am Plan (LHWMP) which was last updated in 2010. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan incorporates the more detailed policies and initiatives that originate in the LHWMP by reference. However, the City will also tailor LHWMP elements to best meet Federal Way's solid waste planning and service administration objectives. Hazardous wastes should be properly managed and disposed of according to procedures and standards set by federal, state, or regionalgencies, such as those set forth in the LHWMP. The City intends to coordinate with South Kin Fire ire & Rescue, King Cry Board of Health regulations, and Public Health - Seattle & King County in the ongoing implementation of LHWMP objectives. 10.68 1 GOALS AND POLICIES FOR CITY ACTION The Private Utilities chapter provides an opportunity for the City to assist utility companies in delivering efficient service to customers and to seek to reduce potential negative impacts on the natural and built environments. This section builds upon system descriptions to identify issues and sets forth policies to coordinate the provision of utilities with City planning. The GMA requires that the utilities element include the general location, proposed location, and capacity of all existing and proposed utilities. This has resulted in cities and counties becoming more actively involved in the way in which utilities are sited and provided. In order to protect both citizens and utility customers, the City will work in accordance with the following goals and policies: Goals PUG1 Work with private utility companies to allow them to provide full and timely service that meets the needs of the City's residents and businesses, both present and future. PUG2 Work with private utility companies to allow them to provide service in a way that balances cost-effectiveness with environmental protection, aesthetic impact, public safety, and public health.
