Ordinance No. 15-798 Page 3 of 12
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings and Conclusions.
(a) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto,to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of 4.63 acres located at
36027 and 36005 6th Avenue SW from Single-Family Medium Density Residential (RS15.0) to
Single-Family High Density Residential(RS9.6)(Site Specific Rezone No. 1)are consistent with the
overall vision of the comprehensive plan, which states that 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 depending on the availability of utilities. Water is available
along 6th Avenue South to the east and sewer is available along 8th Avenue South to the west;
(b) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto,to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of 1.82 acres, located at
33061 15th Avenue South and 1411 South 330th Street from Office Park (OP) to Community
Business (BC) (Site Specific Rezone No. 2) is consistent with the overall vision of the
comprehensive plan,which states that the Community Business designation encompasses two major
retail/commercial areas along the SR 99 corridor,including the segment between South 324th Street
and approximately South 339th Street;
(c) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto,to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of 0.18 acres,located at
1443 South 308th Street from Multiple Family (RM1800) to Community Business (BC) (Site
Specific Rezone No. 3)is consistent with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan,which states
Ordinance No. 15-798 Page 4 of 12
that the Community Business designation encompasses two major retail/commercial areas along the
SR 99 corridor,including the segment between South 272nd Street and South 312th Street.The site
is already developed with a legal nonconforming commercial use.The change in designation would
make the use conforming and would allow for the ability to make structural changes to the building
or increase its floor area,resulting in an improved look to the structure;
(d) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto,to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of 1.97 acres located at
32020 1st Avenue South from Professional Office (PO)to Office Park(OP) (Site Specific Rezone
No. 4) is consistent with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan for creating new retail and
service employment opportunities and the provision of community and commercial services to
residential communities.The requested Office Park zone would be appropriate at this location given
the high volume of traffic moving along South 320th Street and 1st Avenue South;
(e) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto, are consistent with the Council vision for the City of Federal Way, and will allow
development which is compatible with the surrounding land uses;
(f) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto, will allow for growth and development consistent with the comprehensive plan's
overall vision and with the comprehensive plan's land use element and household and job
projections, and will allow reasonable use of property subject to constraints necessary to protect
environmentally sensitive areas;
(g) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
attached hereto, have complied with the appropriate process under state law and the FWRC; and
(h) The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan maps, as set forth in Exhibit A,
Ordinance No. 15-798 Page 5 of 12
attached hereto,bear a substantial relationship to the public health,safety,and welfare;are in the best
