reviewed the 2013 Parks and Recreation Report after the October 3 City Council Meeting
presentation and questioned if the Camp Kilworth was reviewed as an open space inclusive of trails.
Lori Sechrist revisited the second section of the 1994 Concomitant Agreement for the former -
Weyerhaeuser property. Unusual environmental issues of site will be preserved during development.

• Staff Report

Planning Manger Doc Hansen gave a brief report regarding the 12 -month moratorium enacted by
Council on September 5, 2017 on the expansion or creation of self - service storage facilities within the
Neighborhood Business (BN), Community Business (BC), and Commercial Enterprise (CE) Zones.
Mr. Hansen noted this is the opportunity for citizen comment on the moratorium.
Jeff and Nounsi Carpenter have been working towards submitting an application for a self- storage
location in the north -end of Federal Way. They have an active purchase and sale, and have invested
a substantial amount of money on studies. He asked for the moratorium to be limited to the south -end
of the city where there is an over - abundance of these facilities and not include the north -end where
there is a need. He additionally requested that future standards consider the economic viability of
smaller facilities.
Council thanked Mr. Hansen for the report and asked clarifying questions regarding the need for the
twelve (12) months as opposed to six (6) months. Additional questions included clarification of when
projects are "vested "; and the difference in saturation rates between the south end and the north end
of the city.
Councilmembers noted they would like to see this process completed in less than a year, if possible.
In response to Mayor Ferrell's questions, City Attorney Ryan Call clarified that there is no action to be
taken at this time; the moratorium was enacted in September, the public hearing is a requirement of
that action.
