ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Planning Manager Hansen informed the Commission that the council passed the proposed amendments
for multifamily housing. The ordinance will become effective on May 24'x' and the moratorium ends on
June 6". The city will not accept multifamily housing applications until the moratorium has ended.
Planning Manager Hansen went on to say that the council made a few changes to the ordinance regarding
parking.
The Commission discussed the Sound 'Transit Stakeholder Meeting on the Federal Way link rail
extension. Planning Manager Hansen noted that Sound Transit concentrated on what the stations will look
like. They talked about South 320`x' and how traffic will be dealt with. Also, it was acknowledged that
even with the additional parking facility, there will not be enough parking. Staff will discuss remedies
with Sound Transit.
Commissioner O'Neil commented the project is likely to bring increased foot -traffic and he is concerned
about crossing 320`x'. Planning Manager stated that staff is also concerned with this issue and intend to
address it. Commissioners discussed the EIS.
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford commented that she felt Sound Transit did not provide enough
information for people to understand the scope of the entire project. We need more specific information
regarding the project site and the proposed layout. Staff concurs that more specific information is needed

and will be discussing this with Sound Transit. Chair Bronson would like information on the alignment of
the rails after the Federal Way transit station. Planning Manager Hansen responded that he can provide a
preliminary map.
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford made the following statement. She does her best to serve the people of
Federal Way as part of the Planning Commission. She is the President of the Federal Way Historical
Society and commented that the historical society does not benefit from this proposed ordinance. Property
owners can benefit through a tax reduction and grants offered for historic preservation. She asked if
anyone objects to her taking part in the discussion and vote. If yes, she will recuse herself. There were no
objections. Commissioner Hope stated she feels it is advantageous to have someone with her background
and knowledge to help guide us.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
Public Hearing — Proposed Text Amendments to FWRC Related to Protection and Preservation
of Landmarks
Senior Planner Van De Weghe delivered the staff presentation. He went over the sections of the
ordinance, the proposed interlocal partnership with King County, the proposed process, and the Planning
Commission action options. The Mayor recommends adoption of the ordinance. Chair Bronson opened
the meeting to public testimony.
Dana Halloway, Federal Way resident — She is in favor of the proposed ordinance. The city
incorporated in 1990 and it is time to have such an ordinance. Many of the historical properties are on
the verge of being lost. If we don't preserve our heritage, we will just be a bunch of strip malls
between Seattle and Tacoma. Our city is more than that.
Jerry Knutzen, Federal Way Historical Society Vice -President — He has lived in Federal Way since
1947 (he remembers before it was called Federal Way). The historical society has been in favor of
such an ordnance for many years. He stated we need to maintain and retain our historical places. Most
of what we have are photographs, but there are some historic structures that need to be saved. He
lives in the Buenna area, which was platted as a city in 1895. He told the Commissioners about a
number of historic structures. He strongly encourages the passage of the proposed ordinance.
Ron Smith, Federal Way resident — He stated his wife loves old things. About 30 years ago they were
looking for a place to live and came across this old house overlooking the water and his wife
commented she would love to live there. They purchased the house. As far as he knows, they have the
oldest intact house in the area and have been careful to maintain its integrity. The only change to the
outside is a recent deck. He is in favor of the proposed ordinance.
Doug Peffer, past president of the Federal Way Historical Society — He was involved with moving
the historical cabins and other projects. lie is in favor of the proposed ordinance. He questions
dealing with King County because it could leave open the possibility of certain buildings be sold to a
developer, who would not care about the historical value. The city should review this possibility. It
happened with the destruction of the old Redondo General Store. No one knows how the developer
received approval for a demolition permit. People need to put strict controls on historic places, or they
will be gone (most of what Federal Way had is gone).
Jason Ludwig, Federal Way resident — He is also with the historical society, but is not speaking from
that perspective tonight. He spoke of living in Phoenix, Arizona for many years (has been in Federal
Way for three years). Phoenix (which was incorporated in 1881) adopted a preservation ordinance
KAPIanning Commission%20161Meering Summary 05-17-17.Joc
Planning Commission Minutes Page .3 May 17. 2017
only two years ago and has destroyed most of their historical buildings. Development trends go
through phases and the phase during much of the destruction of historic structures was strip malls; as
a result, Phoenix is a land of strip malls. He is enthralled by Federal Way's sense of history and the
civic pride in our history. Saving history is an uphill battle unless it is protected by such an ordinance.
Don't repeat Phoenix's mistake.
Karen Meador, Auburn resident — She works for the historical society. Federal Way is a rare
exception to cities that are built on the water because we are built on roads. Military Road, 99 (Pacific
Highway South) and I-5 are all located in Federal way. They were all cutting edge for their time;
representing a new era in the American experiment. Many of Federal Way's historic properties are
close to these important roads (Brooklake, historic cabins, Steel Lake Annex, etc.). It is hard to find
history so accessible. Heritage properties provide communities with unique buildings suitable for
different types of uses (tourist destinations, event centers, meeting centers, etc.). They provide
Federal Way with a unique identity and distinctive character. She urged the Commissioners
recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance. The only city in the US named for a federal highway
is deserving of a historic preservation ordinance. It will help preserve Federal Way's unique blend of
historic highways, varied architecture, great scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, and heritage.
Dorothy Bird, Federal Way resident — She has lived here for six years. This is a unique locality (not
farmland but a bog), developed in a way that is different. She is very glad she came here.
Marty Dickerson Auburn resident — He is involved with the historical society. He purchased an old
abandoned store last year on Military Road. Ile has had a lot of interaction with people who have
grown up in the area. Many people stop and ask what will happen with the store. They are cleaning
and up and saving what they can. They want to preserve this bit of history. He supports Federal Way
adopting the proposed ordinance.
.Suzanne Vargo, Federal Way resident — She has lived and walked all over Federal Way. She
volunteers for the Auburn museum. There are strong roots throughout Federal Way and to lose these
would be to lose a part of all of us. Federal Way is unique and we should preserve that.
Chair Bronson closed the public testimony.
Commissioner Carlson stated that staff did a great job and he supports the ordinance
Vice -Chair Medhurst asked how many sites the Federal Way Historical Society considers to be heritage
properties that would qualify for this. Commissioner Noble-Gulliford relied that there are probable
between 50 — 100 properties. It depends on what the community deems is important.
Vice -Chair Medhurst asked if there is a priority for the applications, or wil I we see hundreds the first year.
He assumes the Federal Way Historical Society will reach out to property owners to encourage them to
apply to preserve their property. His concern is that King County staff will be overwhelmed, resulting in
delays. Senior Planner Van De Weghe replied he will have to check with King County. It will depend
upon the property owner if they choose to apply or not. A historical property survey of the city should be
done. If the ordinance and interlocal are approved, city staff will work with King County on a survey.
Commissioner Elder commented that recently Brooklake was declared unsafe. If she were to nominate
them and they are accepted as a historical property, but if the city does not have the money to repair it, is
there anything that can be done. Senior Planner David Van De Weghe replied once a property is
determined to be a historical site, it can qualify for grants.
K'Manning Crnnmission\201 G\Meeting summary 05-17-17 doc

Commissioner Couture asked if a property has been determined to be a historical site, will the owner be
told how they can improve the property. Senior Planner Van De Weghe replied yes, the city will provide
that information.
Commissioners expressed concern whether King County will have adequate staff to handle the additional
work load. Senior Planner Van De Weghe replied he will have to check with King County.
Carlson moved recommending adoption ordinance as presented by staff (Commissioner Noble-Gulliford
seconded). There were no further comments and the motion passed (unanimously).
Chair Bronson closed the public hearing.

Planning Commission Administrative Report
1. Purpose of this Report. The creation of the Hearing Examiner and of various committees to
fulfill particular objectives has in many jurisdictions reduced the role of the Planning
Commission. I would like to make you aware that that is not my position. I find the role of the
Planning Commission very important throughout the development of regulations and long range
plans. But in order for a Planning Commission to make informed decisions, members need to be
constantly made aware of the major activities that are happening within the community. A public
hearing is not the most effective method of providing a recommending body the information
needed to become familiar with a particular issue or topic. My objective here is to inform you of
the major things that we are dealing with and to discuss these issues at least once a month.
I would also like to know if any are interested in the Planning Short Course offered by the State's
Department of Commerce. There are a number of issues/subjects that can be addressed by the
Department at a two-hour meeting including:
• Things to consider in updating the comprehensive plan;
• Legal land use issues that should be considered in a decision;
• Discussion of the `Open Public Meetings Act;'
• Constitutional issues within planning;
• Implementing the plan;
• Incentives for infill development;
• Purpose for sustainability; and
• Citizen participation plans and their role in planning and development regulations.
If there are a number of people interested, I can look at those subject discussions being offered,
bring them to you for you to determine what issues you'd like to have presented and discussed,
and eventually request the Department present one of these short courses here in Federal Way.
2. Sound Transit Status. The technical team for Station 3 has decided to meet every other week to
work out issues and details related to the completion of the station. The last meeting was June 20"'
to discuss four items of concern including:
• What crosswalk options exist to cross 320"' between the station and the Commons area?
• What wetland fill options exist with the creation of a Development Agreement? Will it
require a hearing before the Hearing Examiner?
June 21, 2017 Planning Commission Administrative Report
Page 2
• How will Sound Transit work with the City in providing adequate parking for persons
using the Light Rail and what options exist, including the parking garage?
• What other impacts will Transit Oriented Development (TOD) have on retail, road
systems, and housing in the City?
Two of these issues were brought up by Planning Commission representation at the last working
meeting.
3. Interest in New Industries including City Agritourism. There is a growing interest expressed
within the City for allowance of more urban -farm oriented activity. Such activity may include the
development of wine in various zones, including the Suburban Estate (SE) zone. Such controlled
activity might prove beneficial to the community and its economic base. Woodinville experienced
this more than two decades ago. Staff is looking at possible options and Code changes necessary
to allow such activity. You would be reviewing any change in the Code if and when such is
proposed.
4. Historic Preservation Ordinance went through V Reading Last month you made a
recommendation to pass an ordinance using King County's Regional Historic Preservation
Program. It is anticipated that the 2"" reading will occur and the ordinance will pass, after which
the Council will appoint a citizen to represent the City on the King County Landmarks
Commission. This commission is the acting body that determines those projects to be designated
as historic landmarks, which might affect funds provided for the preservation of identified
landmarks. This indicates the importance of the appointed representative to the City of Federal
Way.
5. View Iniyact Analvsis. There are a number of locations within the City where monumental
views may need protection if the City so desires. Citizens may wish to protect views of Mt.
Rainier, the Sound, and other sites to preserve the special views that Federal Way citizens and
tourists enjoy. Some cities have adopted and maintained ordinances to protect such views at
particular identified points within their boundaries. Staff is looking at the potential of developing
a view corridor overlay zone within the City in order to provide this protection in certain
identified areas. Measures and ordinances adopted by other jurisdictions are being identified and
evaluated for consideration. We will keep you abreast of such efforts and you will be presented
any proposed regulation designed to serve this interest.
6. Other Items of Interest.

The city received four citizen -initiated requests for comprehensive plan amendments and
rezones in September 2015 and nine requests in September 2016. One request for a code

D. POTENTIAL 2017 PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM
Historically we have carried over items on the work program from one year to another if they
have not been completed in the previous year. In addition, code amendments are frequently added
after the work program has been adopted as the need arises. Consequently, the annual work
program has, in reality, always been a multi-year work program. The following is a list of all
potential items. At this time, the Mayor has not made a recommendation as to which items will be
prioritized to be worked on in 2017.
