1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Celski called the meeting to order at 5:02 PM
2. PUBLIC COMMENT (3 minutes)
Jamas G. William is the Vice President of Development for Merlene Geier Partners and in general spoke against the
pending multi-family code amendments. They recently acquired the Commons at Federal Way and they also own
Sunset Square. He stated that one of the important aspects of their investment here in Federal Way is the future
Sound Transit Light Rail Station and with that context in view, and recently learning about the pending multi-family
housing zoning code amendments, he wanted to emphasize their desire for the City of Federal Way to consider
making allowances for City Center Core and Frame District TOD (Transit Oriented Development) that is on a
different path than multi-family development most likely in other parts of the city. He feels in doing so, the
comprehensive plans mandate to encourage development in the designated downtown core areas can be furthered
and make use of the tremendous amount of public investment in the light rail. He continued to outline specific
concerns.
Alex Kim indicated he's previously spoken with staff about this issue and in general, is against the proposed
multi-family code amendment. He indicated he has owned approximately six acres in the BC zone for several years
now. He stated that there have been several code amendments over the last few years and shared concerns about
height restrictions in zoning areas that are next to residential zones. He feels there should be amendments made
to some of those zones to make it more equitable.
Monte Powell is a resident in Federal Way and he's been developing senior housing in this area for several years.
He expressed gratitude to staff and Council for working on this subject and feels they've done a great job but noted
there are a few small issues that need to be reconciled as there are some issues, surveillance cameras for example,
that are in violation of the State Code. He feels that overall this is a very good effort at bringing the code into
compliance with what he thinks the Federal Way population will accept and look forward to.

Citywide Flashing Yellow Arrow Retrofits Project -Final Acceptance
Mr. Chandra explained this project installed flashing yellow arrow signal indications
at 17 intersections and one overhead lane use signs at two locations on SR 161 and
SR 18. Prior to release of performance/payment bonds on a Public Works
construction project, the City Council must accept the work as complete to meet
State Department of Revenue and State Department of Labor and Industries
requirements. A brief discussion continued regarding the potential to install
flashing yellow arrows at any other locations and if there have been any increased
accidents in locations that had the signals installed.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

Submittal of Transportation Grant Application
Mr. Perez stated WSDOT issued a call for projects for a federally-funded
Accelerated Innovation Deployment Program. The program is intended to include
proven innovative practices or technologies which the applicant intends to
implement and adopt as a significant improvement to their conventional practice.
Staff is proposing to expand implementation of variable lane use controls to
optimize lane utilization at an intersection as it varies by time-of-day. As part of the
SR 99 Phase V project, one of these signs will be constructed at northbound SR 99
at S 348th Street. Mr. Perez illustrated images that are similar to what they would
look like. He indicated that they can be used at pre-programmed times of day or
by real-time traffic conditions. He further discussed the Federal Highways
Administration summary of impacts for this type of operation and noted that there
are several technical issues that would need to be worked out before
implementation. A list of tentative locations and changes to the current traffic
movements at each location was explained. Discussion continued regarding
potential for driver confusion, unintended consequences and public outreach.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

Authorization to Apply for the King County Flood Control District Flood Reduction
Grant
Mr. Tang indicated the King County Flood Control District Flood Reduction Grant is
an annual grant and this year there is approximately $3 million in available funding.
Typically awards have ranged from $10k-$400k per project, _noting that in 2016 the
City was awarded $350k for the Marine Hills· Stormwater Conveyance System
Repair Project Phase II. The grant is available for small to medium flood reduction
projects which includes repair of failing stormwater systems that are causing
flooding. The project must meet the standard for extended benefits such as
maintaining safe roads and public access to residences and provide a clear
economic benefit that extends beyond the applicant to the broader public good.
If staff is authorized to apply, they plan to use the funding for the Lakota Berm and
Pipe Repair project. In 2015, the water within the wetland overtopped the berm
and flooded the fields, track and a portion of 21st Avenue SW. The flooding was
caused primarily by the localized settlement of the berm and blockage at the control
structure. Upon investigation of the facility, staff found 100 feet of outlet pipe had
deteriorated and is in need of repair. He provided maps that illustrated where the
flooding occurred and outlined the repairs that would be made, estimated
expenditures and available funding. A brief discussion was held regarding the
potential timing of the project.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
Moved: Assefa-Dawson Seconded: Koppang Passed: 3-0
ORDINANCE: Adopt Code Amendments Related to Multi-Family Dwelling Units,
Senior Housing, and Special Needs Housing
Mr. Davis explained the reasons the moratorium is in place are for improved quality
of multi-family developments, to improve the safety of the residents nearby
multi-family developments and to improve the compatibility with neighbors as it
relates to setbacks and open space. Staff received 17 suggestions for changes to
the proposed amendments and worked with those suggestions to come up with
ideas on how to address them. He outlined the moratorium timeline as it has
progressed since December of 2016 noting that the Planning Commission had two
briefings on this item and chose to forward the matter to Committee without a
recommendation. Mr. Davis provided an overview of the recommended changes
to the Ordinance. Staff received several suggestions to improve parking. Staff
recommends developments that propose at least 100 units have a minimum
of 25% of the parking underground or on the first floor. In the city center core
zone, the parking could be accounted for in a multi-level garage. For developments
over 25 units, a mix of first-floor commercial uses was suggested. In this case, it
would not be required of all of them but for a certain number of them, 50% of the
first floor to be commercial use if building fronts an arterial. There were no
recommended changes for mixed number of bedrooms per unit in same complex,
shared living and social gathering or maintenance plan and inspection programs.
Private open space was a concern for some. Staff recommends a minimum of
48 square feet, per unit, of open space be made available to the tenants within
their units to congregate so those activities don't overflow into the right-of-way.
There was also a desire to expand on our required recycling program so changes
have been made to address space and location requirements for solid waste and
recycling. Reducing bulk and mass of the buildings was also desired so it is
addressed as a guideline, not as a requirement so this is optional. Several

suggestions were received to increase compatibility with surrounding uses by
increasing setbacks for buildings on property adjacent to non-multifamily zones.
Safety goals were proposed that would incorporate various safety measures into
the building design or tenant agreements that would be optional for developers
such as a safety plan or security cameras. A suggestion was made to develop a
system or program that would collect Police Impact Fees. This item is being
deferred to a later date as there are some legal challenges with this and significant
data analysis is required for an equitable proposal. Another recommended change
is related to parking standards that are in the books but not necessarily enforced.
Parking standards can be reduced based on the actual need. An example of this
would be senior housing which doesn't require the normal amount of parking that
a multi-family development would because there are fewer drivers. Staff has
received comments that recent developments don't have enough parking so what
staff has done is increase parking requirements creating a higher starting point
when reductions are considered which should help alleviate public frustration. He
used Uptown Apartments on Pacific Hwy and S 320th Street as an example of what
the code amendments would look like if implemented by stating Uptown
Apartments would need an additional 47 parking stalls than what they have now.
Mr. Davis provided a handout to the Committee which includes public comments
that were received noting that they clearly illustrate the division between what the
public wants and what developers want and summarized indicating the citizens
want less flexibility and developers want more flexibility. He discussed the
comments that were received from the citizens and developers and briefly
expanded on a comment that was received from Jamas William from the Commons
Mall property that stated Transit Oriented Development (TOD) standards should
be incorporated into the city center core and indicated staff agrees. Developing a
TOD type plan or Ordinance would take a significant amount of outreach and
process. Sound Transit and the City are working together on this issue and Sound
Transit indicated their planning efforts may even provide some funding for the City
to take advantage of.
Chair Celski shared he has not had enough time to review the information and is
not ready to make a decision. He asked Mr. Davis for input as to why the Planning
Commission forwarded the issue without a recommendation. Mr. Davis stated the
Planning Commission met on three separate occasions and were provided the same
information that Committee received tonight. He shared his perspective that the
Planning Commission felt they could not make an informed recommendation and
may have needed more time to process the information. Councilmember Koppang
commented his impression of the last Planning Commission meeting was they
didn't think the scope of the presentation fully matched expectations Council had
for the moratorium. He mentioned TOD is an important next step for the city,
expanding there is a potential for code changes, and asked if there are any other
proposed amendments on the horizon that Council should be aware of. Mr. Davis
mentioned the main changes have already been discussed and that the proposed
amendments are a good starting point. He views TOD as a comprehensive zone
change that will redesign the downtown area. Councilmember Honda commented
that when the first SHAG housing was built, there was not enough parking for
residents and expanded residents in the second building are parking on the street
and in the park. She's concerned that seniors need more parking. Deputy Mayor
Burbidge asked what the current requirement is for senior parking. Mr. Davis
indicated the current requirement is 0.5 per unit. A brief discussion was held
regarding mixed room units and market rate development. Councilmember
Koppang noted he was happy to see new requirements for solid waste and
recycling because he sees value for the residents. Additionally he asked for
information about Police Impact Fees stating an initial increase for response was

seen at the apartment complexes, possibly due in part to the screening process,
but would like to see developers take a responsible path for implementation.
Mr. Davis stated he has seen the service call numbers and believes that although
the number seems high, the density is a factor in the number of service calls.
Deputy Attorney Orthmann explained that impact fees are constrained by state
statue and case law and essentially any mitigation that the city requires must be
reasonably necessary as a direct result of the proposed development.
Furthermore, the City would have to show that the required mitigation is due to
some harm or issue that's caused directly by the development. He also noted that
no other jurisdictions were found to have had a similar type of fee and it would
require significant study. Chair Celski asked staff for a broad explanation of what
resources were referred to when deciding staff recommendations. Mr. Davis
indicated staff referenced best practices, planning code, questioned surrounding
jurisdictions to see what was and was not working for them, and attempted to
incorporate Council suggestions. Chair Celski brought attention to the letter from
Merlene Geier Partners, pointing out one of the ideas in the letter was to exclude
the city center core and the city center frame from the multi-family housing
amendments to further study options in relation to TOD and wondered what the
impact would be if Council moved forward with exclusion of the CC-C and CC-F.
Mr. Davis indicated staff fully supports working with core property owners and
Sound Transit on a Transit Oriented Development code. In the meantime, staff
believes this is a reasonable interim code to work under that addresses several of
the concerns staff received. As far as the impacts with exclusion of the CC-C and
CC-F zones, it is difficult to answer as it depends on the developers but he doesn't
feel what staff is proposing will have much of an impact on overall development.
Further discussion was held regarding vacancy rates compared to neighboring
jurisdictions, process timelines, and the likelihood of additional changes to the
code. Councilmember Honda discussed the desire for school district involvement
and asked about Committee options if more time is needed to review the
. information. Staff and Committee discussed the available options further and the
Committee expressed a need for an additional meeting for this topic.

SUBJECT: Proposed Text Amendments to Federal Way Revised Code Title 19, "Zoning and Development
Code," Related to Multifamily Housing (File No's. 17-100504-00-UP and 17-100505-00-SE)
I. Background
The City of Federal Way adopted a six-month moratorium on the expansion or creation of multi-
family housing on June 7, 2016. The moratorium was extended for another six months on
December 6, 2016. Staff received suggestions from the City Council on how to make code
changes in order to improve multifamily development standards. Suggested code changes
centered on improving the quality of multifamily construction, enhancing the safety of residents,
and having better compatibility with neighbors ( e.g., setbacks, open space, parking). Staff drafted
code changes and has briefed the City Council and Planning Commission on multiple occasions,
as outlined in the timeline below in Section II.
A summary of the proposed code changes are on the following page in Section Ill. At their April
5th meeting, the Planning Commission forwarded the matter to the City Council without a
recommendation. The staff report provided to them, which includes the text amendments, was
previously provided to the Committee.
The LUTC considered the suggested code changes during a meeting on April 17 , 2017, and
continued the meeting to April 24, 2017, and May 1, 2017, in order to allow time to review and
understand the suggested code changes. Comments and questions received from the LUTC, along
with staff responses, are in Section III of this Staff Report.

III. Responses to LUTC's Comments and Questions
The following addresses the questions and comments discussed during the April 24th LUTC
meeting"
1. The requirement for 48 square feet of private open space for each unit would make
development cost prohibitive. There were also concerns about this requirement related to
senior citizen and special needs housing.
Staff Response
This requirement has been removed from each Use Zone Chart and Section 8 (FWRC
19.115.115[2], 1 page 13 of 33 [page numbers refer to the ordinance]) has been amended as
follows:
"Private open space. In order to be oredited towaTd total residential usaeJe open
s-paee;-private open spaoe must be a A minimum of 48 square feet and have with
a minimum dimension of six feet will be credited to usab le open space."
This means that there is no requirement to provide private open space; however, if open space
meeting the above requirement is provided, credit will be given towards the requirement of
total usable open space. Other amendments are proposed in each Use Zone Chart to allow the
developer to choose from a menu of open space amenities. In addition, the Use Zone Charts
were not consistent in the requirement for the percentage of common open space. There was a
25 percent requirement in the CC-F and CC-C Use Zone Charts only.
The following language is proposed for the provision of open space for multi-family dwelling
units in the RM zone (FWRC 19.205.040[2], page 21 of33):
"The subject property must contain at least 400 sq. ft. per dwelling unit of
o~rnrnon reereational usable open space usable for many activities and may
include common open spaces such as plazas, recreation rooms, rooftop terraces ,
p-patches, pools, active lobbies. and atriums. A minimum of25 percent of the
usable open space provided must be common open space. Private open space
such as a patio, porch, baJcony. or yard may be credited toward total residential
usable open space, if such private open space is a minimwn of 48 square feet and
has a minimum dimension of six feet. At least 10% percent of this required open
space must be developed and maintained with children's play equipment. If the
subject property contains four or more units, this required open space must be in
one or more pieces each having a length and width of at least 25 ft. In addition, if
the subject property contains 20 or more units, at least 50% percent of this
required open space must be in one or more pieces each having a length and
width of at least 40 ft."
Similar language was amended in or added to the following charts for multi-family dwelling
units:
FWRC19 .215.050 (13)-BN Zone (page 19of33)
FWRC 19.220.050(10) -BC Zone (page 26 of23)
FWRC 19.225.070(6)-CC-C Zone (page 28 of 33)
FWRC 19.230.060(6)-CC-F Zone (page 30 of 33)
1 Per FWRC 19 .115 .115 , the design criteria for residential usable open space and fee-in-lieu option applies presently only to open
space requirements in the CC-F and CC-C. Language is proposed that it shall also apply to senior citizen and special needs housing.
28 3
2. There were concerns about requiring parking underground or on the first floor within the
building footprint in the RM zone, as this may be cost prohibitive for developers.
Staff Response
Staff concurs, given that the maximum building height in the RM 1.8 zone is 35 feet and 30
feet in the RM 2.4 and RM 3 .6 zones, allowing only a maximum of three stories. Therefore,
this requirement has been deleted (FWRC 19.205.040, page 21 of 33 and FWRC 19.205.070,
page 22 of 23).
Since the maximum allowable height of senior housing in the RS zone is 30 feet and the
maximum allowable height of multifamily dwellings, senior citizen housing, and special needs
housing in the BN zone is 35 feet, staff recommends that any requirement that parking be
underground or on the first floor also be deleted in these Use Zone Charts (FWRC 19.200.100,
page 19 of 33, FWRC 19.215.050, page 23 of 33, and FWRC 19.215.150, page 25 of 33).
3. There was also a concern that the requirement for 25 percent of parking be underground or on
the first floor of a building in the CC-C and CC-Fis far too loose ifwe are trying to increase
density in these zones. There was a request to research what other cities require.
Staff Response
Staff reviewed the parking requirements of SeaTac, Redmond, Renton, Kirkland, and Tacoma,
and none of these cities have requirements for underground parking. Staff recommends future
study of parking requirements in conjunction with research on Community Design Guidelines
for the City Center.
4. There was discussion about whether the recommended parking requirements in the City
Center were too burdensome in light of future Transit Oriented Development (TOD).
Staff Response
Staff proposes the following requirements for parking for multifamily dwelling units in the
CC-C and CC-F zones, until we research it as part of the Downtown Design Guidelines
(FWRC 19.225.070[19], page 29 of 33).
"Parking may be provided underground or above ground in structured parking or
may be permitted as surface parking."
The following language has been added to the Required Parking Spaces column in the Use
Zone Charts:
'Multi eAit housiAg Multifamily dwelling units: l per unit if underground or in
structured parking or 1. 7 per unit if suiface parking.''
5. There was a question as to whether there should be a requirement for commercial uses in
multifamily housing along arterials/collectors. The following concerns were expressed:
• Businesses may not gain critical mass resulting in empty commercial spaces.
• Introducing more competition for existing commercial businesses outside of this zone.
• Introducing the residents to inconvenience, noise, parking issues that coul_d result
from the presence of these businesses .
29 4
Staff Response
Staff recommends retaining this as an option, but not a requirement and leaving it up to
individual developers. The following language is proposed (FWRC 19.205.040[3], page
21 of 33):
'If located along an arterial or collector and is visible from the right-of-way, up
to 50 percent of the total length of the ground floor facade of all buildings facing
a right-of-way may be developed with commercial uses allowed by office/retail
u e z one chart, FWRC 19.2 I 5.010, or entertainment use zone chart, FWRC
19.215.020. The commercial ground floor uses may occupy up to a maximum
depth of 15 ft. and a minimum interior height of 13 ft . of commercial space for
any single tenant."
6. A developer was concerned about the proposed requirement to limit height in the BC zone to
30 feet for a distance of 100 feet from an adjacent residential zone.
Staff Response
Based on comments received, and an analysis of how many parcels would be affected with
the I 00 foot requirement, staff recommends having this provision apply only when the BC
zoned parcels are adjacent to single-family zoned areas. This would affect 91 fewer parcels.
The following change was made for multifamily dwelling units in the BC zone (FWRC
19.220.050[2], page 26 of 33).
"Building height may not exceed 3 0 ft. above ABE for the portion of the building
located within W 100 ft. from a ingle-family residential zone."
The following change was made for senior citizen housing and special needs housing in the
BC zone (FWRC 19.220.080[2], page 27 of 33).
If any portion of a structure on the subject prope1ty is within l 00 ft. of a single-
family residential zone. then that portion of the structure shall not exceed 30 ft.
above average building elevation, and the structure shall be set back a minimum
of 20 ft. from the prope rty line of the single-family residential zone.
7. A question arose as to why the language, "Roof lines are designed to avoid a predominantly
flat and featureless appearance, through variations in roof height, forms, angles, and
materials" was only in FWRC 19.220.050(3) (page 26 of33) and in no other zones. Should it
be included in all other zones for consistency?
Staff Response
Staff recommends deleting it from this section as it is already adequately addressed as
follows in the Community Design Guidelines (FWRC 19.l 15.090[q]):
"Buildings should be designed to have a distinct base, middle and top. The base
(typically the first floor) should contain the greatest number of architectural
elements such as windows, materials, details, overhangs, cornice lines, and
masonry belt c,ourses. The midsection, by comparison, may be simple. (Note:
single-story buildings have no middle.) The top should avoid the appearance of a
flat roof and include distinctive roof shapes including but not limited to pitched,
vaulted or terraced, etc."
30 5
IV. Other Proposed Changes
1. FWRC 19.200.100 is proposed to be further amended by adding the following language as
Note 2:
"If any p01tion of a structure is adjacent to a single-family residential zone, then
the structure shall be set back a minimum of 20 ft. from the property line of the
residential zone."
This is intended to clarify that a 20 foot setback is required for senior housing in a single-
family zone only if the parcel is adjacent to other single-family zones.
2. One of the reasons for the multifamily moratorium was to ensure compatibility of uses
between more intensive and less intensive zones. After listening to comments from citizens
and Council members, staff recommends the following change for the CC-F zone (FWRC
19.230.060(5], page30 of33):
"Structures on property that adjoins a si11gle-famiJy-residential zone shall be set
back a minimum of 20 ft. from the property line adjacent to the s in g le-family
residential zone. The height of structures shall not exceed ~ 100 ft. above
average building elevation when located betweeA 20 ft. aAd 40 ft. from the
adjacent residentially zoned property line, and shal l not ex.ceed 40 ft. above
average building elevation ·.vhen located betvreen 40 ft. and within 100 ft. from
such property line."
V. Mayor's Recommendation
It is the mayor's recommendation to forward the proposed code changes as modified by the
LUTC, to the May 2°d City Council meeting.

reduction and source separation should be managed in accordance with
the KC-CSWMP.
PUG23 Encourage and actively seek an effective regional approach to solid
waste management, to leverage economies of scale and move toward
similarities in services and parallel educational messaging.
PUG27 Develop and implement Preferred Building Code Elements, including
space allocation for several waste streams (garbage, compostables,
recyclables , hazardous materials, and other process wastes). Incorporate
design elements that enable access to services, both for tenants and
collection service vehicle. Consider development of a preference for
covered solid waste enclosures or facilities that are tied to sanitary sewer
to help reduce potential surface water management issues, and perform a
comprehensive analysis to determine which elements should be
grandfathered versus required improvements.

HP17
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 are permitted.
Continue to use design guidelines to ensure that new and infill
developments have aesthetic appeal and minimize impacts on
surrounding development.
Review zoning, subdivision, and development regulations to ensure that
they further housing policies, facilitate infill development and don't
create unintended barriers.
Continue to permit commercial/residential mixed-use development in
designated commercial areas throughout the City. Develop incentive
programs to ensure an adequate amount of housing is developed in these
areas.
(b) The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, and
welfare because they will result in a higher quality of multifamily development, while
ensuring that adequate amenities such as open space and parking are provided for residents.
Amendments to the Community Design Guidelines also encourage the adoption of a security
program intended to promote resident safety and improve quality of life for residents. Other
proposed amendments to the Community Design Guidelines are intended to reduce the
impacts of large scale multifamily and senior housing development on adjoining zoning
districts that permit less intensive residential or commercial uses by reducing building
massing .
( c) The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City as they will
improve the aesthetics of the built environment and create compatibility between different
zoning districts. Additionally, the proposed text amendments would lead to more
architecturally divers~ developments throughout the City.

(1) Develop written secur ity policies and an emergency management plan, including evacuation procedures.
(2) Provide illumination in all areas of the building, including parking facilities and entryways to
buildings, according to requirements of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Lighting Handbook.
(3) Ens ure that the lobby and the area immediately outside its doors are free of places of concealment for
persons.
( 4) In sta ll large glass panels in lobby doors.
(5) Design buildings so that the elevator area is fully visible throughout the lobby. On levels other than
the lobby floor, elevators slio uld open directly to hallways, without recesses or blind comers that restrict
two-way visibility .
(6) Locate laundry rooms in a more active area of the building, adjacent to common space or the main
lobby, and install Large glass windows in the laundry room.

adjacent development.
Section 8 . FWRC 19.115.115 is hereby amended to read as follows:
The following guidelines apply to residential usable open space that is developed pursuant to FWRC
19.2 00.100. 19.205.070, 19 .215.150, 19.220.080, 19.225.070 and 19.230.060:
( 1) Common open space. All common open space proposed under this section shall meet the definition of
"open space, common" as set forth in this title and all of the following criteria:
(a) In order to be credited toward total residential usable open space, common open space must be a
minimum of 225 square feet and have a minimum dimension of 15 feet. The inclusion of
additional contiguous open space areas that have smaller dimensions, but enhance the use and
enjoyment of the overall larger space, may be credited toward the overall minimum usable open
space requirement subject to director approval.
(b) Indoor common areas such as recreation/workout rooms, swimming pools, and gathering spaces
that meet the criteria of this section may be counted as common open space subject to the criteria
in this section.
(c) The common open space shall be readily visible and accessible from structure(s) with entries to
residential units.
Ordinance No 17-__ _
43
Page 12 of 33
Rev 3/17 LU
( d) The common open space shall not be located on asphalt or gravel pavement, or be adjacent to
unscreened parking lots, chain-link fences, or blank walls, and may not be used for parking,
loading, or vehicular access.
( e) Pedestrian access ways shall only be counted as common open space when the pedestrian path or
walkway traverses a common open space that is 15 feet or wider.
(f) The common open space shall be sufficiently designed and appointed to serve as a major focal
point and gathering place. Common open spaces shall include a significant number of pedestrian-
oriented features, furnishings, and amenities typically found in plazas and recreational open
space, such as seating or sitting walls, lighting, weather protection, special paving, landscaping,
and trash receptacles. In addition, the common open space(s) should provide one or more
significant visual or functional amenities such as a water feature, fireplace, and/or artwork, and
should allow for active uses such as physical exercise, children's play area, gathering area for
group social events, and p-patch or other gardening activity.
(2) Private open space. In order to be credited to·uard total resideetial t:1sable opee spaee, pri,.·ate opee
space, must be a A minimum of 48 square feet and hw1e with a minimum dimension of six feet will be
credited to usable open space.
(3) Publicly accessible open space. Publicly accessible open spaces provided on site may be credited
toward the minimum residential usable open space requirement, as long as the open space is directly
accessible to and available to residents for their use. Only the portion of the public open space directly
accessible to and available to residents for their use may be credited toward the residential usable open
space requirement.
( 4) Fee-in-lieu option. A fee-in-lieu payment may be made to satisfy up to 50 percent of the residential
usable open space requirement for the development of public parks and recreation improvements. Fee-in-
lieu acceptance shall be at the discretion of the parks director after consideration of the city's overall park
plan, and the quality, location, and usability of the open space that would otherwise be provided on the
project site. If the city determines that a fee-in-lieu is appropriate, a payment of an equivalent fee in lieu
of the required open space shall be made.
The fee in lieu of open space shall be calculated based on the most recent assessed value of the subject
property, or an appraisal conducted by a state-certified real estate appraiser. If the applicant offers to pay
fee in lieu of open space, and if the city accepts the offer, the amount shall be determined based upon the
square footage of open space that otherwise would have been required to be provided, multiplied by the
then-current market value per square foot of the property. By choosing the fee-in-lieu option, the
applicant agrees that the city will not be restricted to using the fees in the park comprehensive planning
area that the subject property falls within, and that they may be used for park and recreation
improvements in any of the park comprehensive planning areas that serve the city center core and city
center frame zoned areas. See also FWRC 19.100.070.
