Proposed Repurchase of Vacant Property Adjacent to the Performing Arts & Event Center(The Hotel Property) Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 4 of 7. July 3, 2018 City Attorney Ryan Call presented a brief presentation and background on the proposed repurchase of the hotel pad adjacent to the Performing Arts and Event Center. He noted the contract is clear regarding the terms of the sale and the option to repurchase the property should the construction and development timelines and standards not be met. In June 2017,the City sold 1.86 acres of property to Ottone-Salinas to be developed into a hotel for a purchase price of$2,187,756.The contract included restrictions on the property including specific timelines of construction. The Developer is currently in breach of the contract and the Council has the one-time option to repurchase the property. He noted this is the City's opportunity repurchase the property for the amount it was sold, for the next 30-days. If the City chooses not to purchase the property now,the option to purchase will terminate permanently. Funding would be authorized by a separate resolution which is also on tonight's agenda.

Mr. Call noted the City is currently in negotiations to address the operating easement;the property has not been re-appraised; and the city has the first right of refusal for re- purchase. If the city does not approve the re-purchase,the current owner can market and sell the property with the same conditions and restrictions. The City Attorney Call also answered additional questions regarding the funding of the re- purchase;the repayment and long-term plan for this parcel;and any property taxes for this property.

The appropriation is distributed to the cities and counties that have no ban on marijuana sales. He highlighted neighboring cities distributions and number of licenses allowed, as reported by the Liquor and Cannabis Board reporting in 2016.

FROM: Marwan Salloum, P.E., Public Works Director vo Mindi English, Water Quality Coordinator SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for Department of Ecology Water Quality Grant BACKGROUND: Under the Clean Water Act, Washington State Depai tment of Ecology(Ecology) is required to designate water quality criteria in order to protect beneficial use of surface waters. Ecology provides state water quality standards and guidance for implementation of a water quality program under Policy 1-11,but the individual elements of what is monitored and tested are unique to each jurisdiction. It is up to local jurisdictions to implement a monitoring program that meets their needs, as well as requirements from Policy 1-11. An example of data that could be collected includes macroinvertebrate counts,temperature, pH, fecal coliform colony counts, and nutrient concentrations. Every few years, Ecology performs a water quality assessment and publishes a report to identify impaired waters. Jurisdictions that have impaired waters with a significant need for improvement are put under a state mandate that requires action to correct the identified water quality issue(s). The State mandate is a "Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)"and jurisdictions must meet the water criteria under Policy 1-11 in order to be removed from the TMDL, list. Ecology is updating Policy 1-11 to standardize data collection within jurisdictions and better define what constitutes a water quality assessment and what information jurisdictions are to provide to Ecology. Although Federal Way SWM Staff have monitored various fish bearing streams for select criteria,no citywide water quality assessment has been done to date. In anticipation of this requirement, SWM Staff are requesting authorization to apply for a Department of Ecology Water Quality Grant to assist in implementing a citywide water quality assessment of its surface waters and identify a monitoring plan to keep the City current with Ecology Policy 1-11. Department of Ecology 2020 Water Quality and Stormwater Grant Funding Cycle is open August 1 through October 31, 2018. SWM is requesting authorization to apply for a$35,000 water quality grant, which will require a 25% match of$8,750 for a total project cost of$43,750. The $8,750 City match has been identified within the 2018 SWM Water Quality budget for consultant services. cc: Project File 5c COUNCIL MEETING DATE:July, 17,2018 ITEM#:_ CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL SUBJECT:2019/2020 SURFACE WATER MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES CONTRACT-AUTHORIZATION TO BID POLICY QUESTION: Should City Council authorize SWM staff to bid the proposed 2019/2020 Surface Water Maintenance and Services Contract and return to LUTC and Council for bid award, further reports and authorizations?

Surface Water Manager . SUBJECT: 2019/2020 Surface Water Maintenance and Services Contract Authorization to Bid BACKGROUND: The City of Federal Way Public Works Department Surface Water Management(SWM)Division is responsible for complying with the Washington State Department of Ecology Municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)Phase II Stormwater Permit. The NPDES permit requires permittees to conduct regular inspections and maintenance of stormwater catch basins,inlets and manholes owned and operated by the City of Federal Way. Regular maintenance of catch basins includes vactoring out sediment through the use of an industrial eductor unit,commonly referred to as a vactor truck. A vactor truck is also used by the SWM Crew to restore flow in drainage system pipes that have been blocked by roots,sediment and other debris. The high velocity water is essential to reducing the risk of flooding as a result of blocked systems. As the City currently does not have in house vactor capability, SWM staff is seeking authorization to bid a surface water maintenance and services contract with a duration of two years.The current contract is set to expire December 31,2018. The current contract was awarded for$154,253.00 in 2013 and it has been amended 3 times over the last five years to extend service while maintaining the same unit rates that were included in the original bid. Due to an increase in the frequency of catchbasin inspections required under the NPDES permit,an increased number of public system catchbasins as development occurs, and the age of the City's stormwater infrastructure in some parts of the City,the current contract was amended again in 2016, maintaining the 2013 rates but increasing the overall value of the contract to $186,513.00 per year for 2017 and 2018. The budget increase was approved by City Council on August 9,2016 and the CPI adjustment to the annual SWM fee provided the additional funds. The engineer's estimate for the new stormwater maintenance and services contract is$229,434 per year and SWM Staff is requesting an increase under the 2019-2020 biennium budget of$45,000 per year. The funds for this increase in the operational budget are identified as the anticipated 1.8%CPI increase to the SWM Utility fee. cc: Project File 5d COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 17,2018 ITEM#: CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT BOARD GRANTS POLICY QUESTION: Should the Council approve the submittal of Transportation Improvement Board Grant applications?

Every section of pavement is visually inspected every two years with defects(e.g. cracks,ruts)quantified in order to determine the sections Pavement Condition Index(PCI). The PMS records the pavements condition over time to determine its useful life based on its deterioration curve.The PMS also develops planning level costs to recommend funding levels for maintaining the systems overall PCI. Since 2007,Federal Way's PCI has dropped nine(9)points from an 86 to a 77(out of 100). Reductions in the annual overlay budget as well as inflation have reduced the length of pavement overlay per year from 13 lane miles to 5.3 lane miles. If the current overlaybudget is maintained, it is estimated that Federal Way's PCI will drop to 67(out of 100)in another ten years. Staff will provide the LUTC additional information regarding pavement condition, funding levels,and additional options for discussion.This is follow up to the presentation provided at the June 4,2018 LUTC meeting to answer Committee Member questions as summarized below. 1) What is the PCI rating for each classification of roadway? Roadway Classification Lane Miles Average PCI Principal Arterial 81.91 77 Minor Arterial 45.80 74 Principal Collector 33.32 76 Minor Collector 114.89 76 Residential 269.23 78 2) Provide examples of pavement deterioration in the"fair"range(see photos on next page).

BACKGROUND From 2016 to 2017,the city received 10 proposals for new self-storage facilities. If all the proposed facilities were completed,the number of self-storage businesses in the city would almost triple. Those that had applied for land use and building permits were vested and when completed will more than double the number of storage units in the City, far outpacing projected population growth. On September 5, 2017, City Council,upon learning of this growth, adopted a 12-month moratorium on new self-storage facilities while examining the cause of such an increase. Council directed staff to study the local growth of self-storage business and review development regulations to ensure they meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan while still meeting the needs of the City's population. They also suggested staff examine potential design standards that could be adopted to make such facilities compatible with surrounding environments. It has been brought to the staff's attention that the number of storage units within an area relates to the amount of available storage square footage per person. Research shows that the amount of storage space does not reach a saturation point until there is 11 to 12 sq. ft. of storage space per person in a three mile radius from a given storage site. In 2016, according to several self-storage developers, Federal Way's number was approximately 6 sq. ft. per capita,thereby some explanation why there is some rapid increase in self-storage activity. Research also indicates that Federal Way,with its major thoroughfares and intense retail market area,is a favorable place for those in this industry to locate. When any business locates upon the major thoroughfares, it provides an image of the City's character to the passing resident or traveler. Staff determined that given the demand for the personal storage space, it's development is likely to continue. It is therefore necessary to have appropriate design standards to present the type of image that local residents and decision-makers wish to present to the public as expressed in our marketing of the City and outlined within the Comprehensive Plan. 1 II. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Individual members of the Planning Commission in presentation to the LUTC issued concerns about the proposed guidelines and standards as they relate to the Comprehensive Plan. There are a number of goals and policies within the Plan which support the proposed design guidelines. The Plan provides a"vision"that suggests pedestrian friendly environments demonstrating the City's economic development opportunities along major thoroughfares such as Pacific Highway in our center area and neighborhoods. Companies choose Federal Way for its sense of neighborhood identity,mix of housing stock,proximity to natural resources(mountains, oceans,and waterways),and safety. 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. Goals and policies within the Plan have been created and adopted to achieve this vision and this proposal is designed achieve this vision. Goal LUG1: Create an attractive, welcoming and functional built environment. LUP1 Use development standards and design guidelines to maintain neighborhood character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. LUP3 Use design guidelines and performance standards to create attractive and desirable commercial, office and commercial/residential mixed-use developments. Goal: General Policies for Commercial,Office, and Commercial Enterprise The following apply to all commercial, office, and commercial enterprise designations. LUP 27 Use design and performance standards to integrate multi-family development into commercial developments as commercial/residential mixed-use development. Performance standards should focus on scale, appearance, and compatibility. LUP 29 Ensure compatibility between non-residential developments and residential zones by regulating height, scale, setbacks, and buffers. LUP 30 Use Community Design Guidelines to encourage quality design and pedestrian and vehicle circulation in office, commercial, and industrial developments. Goal LUG5: Develop a quality commercial enterprise environment characterized by a viable, vibrant,and attractive mix of commercial,retail, office, industrial, and supportive uses and utilize locational and design criteria to ensure compatibility between uses. LUP36 Require development to be compatible and well integrated into its surroundings and adjacent zones through site and building design and development standards that reduce or eliminate land use conflicts and nuisance impacts; ensure project aesthetics; promote sharing of public facilities and services; and improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and safety, including access control and off-street interconnectivity between adjoining properties where feasible. 2 Goal LUG6 Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, areas with a mix of uses that appeal to pedestrians,motorists, and residents, and enhance the community's image. LUP 39 Encourage transformation of the Pacific Highway(SR-99) Community Business corridors into quality retail/commercial mixed use areas, designed to integrate auto,pedestrian, and transit circulation, and to improve traffic flow and safety, including access control and off- street interconnectivity between adjoining properties where feasible. Continue to utilize Community Design Guidelines to ensure quality site and building design and functional and aesthetic compatibility between uses. Integration of pedestrian amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged. LUP 40 Encourage a range of pedestrian-oriented retail,while continuing to accommodate auto- oriented retail uses, and provide supportive uses to meet the needs of residents and employees in the area. Goal LUG7: Provide neighborhood and community scale retail centers for the City's neighborhoods. LUP 41 Integrate retail developments into surrounding neighborhoods through attention to quality design and function. LUP 42 Encourage pedestrian and bicycle access to neighborhood shopping and services. LUP 43 Encourage neighborhood retail and personal services to locate at appropriate locations where local economic demand and design solutions demonstrate compatibility with the neighborhood. LUP 44 Retail and personal services should be encouraged to group together within planned centers to allow for ease of pedestrian movement., LUP 45 Neighborhood Business centers should consist of neighborhood scale retail and personal services. Staff examined various jurisdictions to see how they deal with self-storage development and found that many surrounding jurisdictions have more strict design standards and/or land use requirements than the City of Federal Way with regards to such facilities, and many do not permit self-storage within their neighborhood business zones. Where jurisdictions do allow self-storage in neighborhood zones, design standards are intended to provide the atmosphere"small scale"compatible to surrounding areas. Where jurisdictions do not deny the development of self-storage within the jurisdiction, they attempt to ensure the compatibility of such development with the environment the Plan encourages. Amendments to our Code are necessary to ensure that self-storage businesses locate in areas appropriate for such activity, are held to higher design standards than now exist to meet our image objectives, and are compatible with surrounding environments. III. CURRENT STANDARDS Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC)defines self-service storage facilities as"a structure or group of structures for the storage of personal property where individual stalls or lockers are rented out to different 3 tenants for storage"(FWRC 19.05.190). Self-storage facilities are permitted via Use Process II and III (administrative approval) in three zoning districts, which include the Neighborhood Business(BN),the Community Business(BC)and Commercial Enterprise(CE) zones. Each of these zones has a specific purpose ast stated in the Comprehensive Plan including: • Neighborhood Business (BN)"Is 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"(Federal Way Comprehensive Plan,page 11-15). • Community Business (BC) "To allow a broad mix of uses, including general, specialty, and service retail; commercial; office; commercial/residential mixed-use; and supportive uses. This designation envisions mid-rise(three to seven stories),high quality developments containing a vibrant and compatible mix of well integrated and designed pedestrian-oriented and auto-oriented uses"(Federal Way Comprehensive Plan,page 11-15). • Commercial Enterprise (CE): "Is primarily intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, and retail sales and services, arrayed in well integrated,high quality developments. Housing is not contemplated for this designation" (Federal Way Comprehensive Plan,page 11-13). Self-storage businesses are often large-scale and are auto-centric. They conflict with the stated purpose of the BN zoning district—to provide a pedestrian environment with businesses designed to serve the neighborhood.While such businesses may provide service to a market area as defined by the developer, the nature of the self-storage often aligns more closely to the purposes of the BC and CE districts,and therefore, should be restricted to these zones per the intention of the stated purpose and the policies provided in the City's Comprehensive Plan. For self-storage facilities, FWRC currently requires building façade modulation, entrances oriented toward the right-of-way,pedestrian pathways, landscaping and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. Self-storage building height is limited to 35 ft. in the BN zone, and 55 ft. in the BC and CE zones. Height limitation is not proposed to be changed. IV. SUGGESTED EXAMINATION BY LUTC At the LUTC meeting on July 2, 2018 it was suggested that the staff look at possibilities for permitting self-storage units within the Neighborhood Business (BN)zones. Staff looked at other jurisdictions to examine how they manage self-storage units within land use codes. The purpose of such examination is to permit the Council to consider alternatives other than that proposed by the Mayor and his staff. Below is a summary of what was found. Maximum square footage- • 25,000 total sq. ft. in Neighborhood Business zones (Seattle) • 10,000 total sq. ft. in Rural Neighborhood zones (King County) • 10,000 total sq. ft. in office zones and multiple family zones(Thurston Co.) • 130,000 total sq. ft. in all districts(City of Shoreline) Size limited related to type of use • Allowed to MF only as accessory building with over 12 apartments and shall not exceed the amount of gross floor area of dwellings(Samamish) 4 • No more than 20 percent of the building's floor area and only allowed in the city's center and Alderwood transition area. (Lynwood) • Allowed as an accessory to apartments with more than 12 units and no more than 50%of the apartment gross floor area(Woodinville) Limited to areas with Retail space • Except for business office and loading/unloading facilities,not permitted on ground floor of multi-story buildings (Lynwood) • Maple Valley limited to certain major roads including a highway Not Permitted in neighborhood business zones • Kirkland • Burien • SeaTac • Renton • Kent • Auburn It was also suggested by LUTC that materials in addition to glass could be used to provide a"reflective" material which emulates glass. Such materials might include a polycarbonate substitute,mirror sheeting, aluminum panels or reflective steel which provides a reflective appearance. V. PROPOSED CHANGES TO CODE Staff has examined self-storage regulations from other jurisdictions,both within and outside the Puget Sound Region. The following code revisions are recommended in order to better meet land use goals from the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Change in language is indicated in Exhibit A. 1. Eliminate all use of self-storage in the Neighborhood Business(BN)zoning district section of the Code(FWRC 19.215). The primary purpose for elimination of self-storage in this zone is the zone's intent,as stated in the Comprehensive Plan,to provide convenient goods and services at a pedestrian and neighborhood scale. Self-storage is an auto-centric use and not considered pedestrian-friendly. 2. Adopt the following design standards for self-storage in the Community Business(BC) and Commercial Enterprise(CE)zoning districts including: Permit self-service storage facilities only within multistory structures designed to emulate multifamily or office buildings. Such design incorporates the goal and policies which indicate that the City intends to integrate multi-family development(often multi-story) into commercial development by regulating compatibility through height, scale and setback standards. The standards describe below are intended to provide compatibility with existing and encouraged building activity. 5 a. The accompanying graphics supplied by the staff shows how such a standard will encourage increased intensity in business areas. Figure 1 —Multistory Structure, Allowed \, f. r 3 • Figure 2—Structure,Not Allowed For Lack of Height _ „ b. The ground floor transparency requirements of the commercial districts design guidelines shall also apply to each floor above the ground floor of a self-service storage facility 6 building that is visible from a street or from a residentially zoned area. Such a standard will partially incorporate a vision of an active business area as intended by the adopted plan. Figure 4—Building Transparency,Allowed PPP 1 , - I -01- r I I 4 p ...

Roof line variation shall be achieved using one(1)or more of the following methods: 7 i. Vertical offset ridge line, intended to break up long rooflines; or ii. Horizontal offset ridge line,meant to vary long building facades; or iii. Variations of roof pitch, designed to provide visual appeal.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Jeff Carpenter lives in Mukilteo and is one of the applicants for a self-storage project that just missed being grandfathered.He doesn't see why the city wants to restrict self-storage facilities from the BN zone.He stated that when he drives through the city's various zones,he doesn't see a difference in the different commercial and retail zones. He stated that the land they are proposing to locate a self-storage facility on is in poor shape and would be unlikely to draw 9 another type of user. It is an underused and difficult to build site. They are not planning on a large facility and are planning on utilizing many of the suggested design standards. He read from the comprehensive plan regarding the use of the BN zone and feels a self-storage facility fits those uses. Customers want a facility near their home. They want to be able to multi-task, such as visiting their storage unit and grocery shopping during the same trip. VII.

MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Eliminate the use from the BN zone to preserve the neighborhood compatibility of such zones; and 2. Permit self-storage development within the BC and CE zones provided they meet the standards listed above. IX. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 6, 2018. By a vote of 6-0,the following motion passed: The Planning Commission recommends to City Council that the proposed FWRC text amendments not be adopted. Regarding the proposed removal of new self-storage facilities from the BN District,the Planning Commission offered the following comments: 1. This action is not business-friendly. Consider the economic impacts. 2. The proposal will not enhance the BN district. 3. The city needs to implement the Twin Lakes Subarea Plan to achieve its vision of the BN district. 10 Regarding the proposed design guidelines,the Planning Commission offered the following comments: 1. The proposed design requirements are arbitrary. 2. Rather than singling out self-storage,revise design standards for all uses in all zoning districts. 3. The new requirements are intended to penalize self-storage developers. 4. The additional requirements will be costly for developers to meet. 5. A pitched roof looks no better than a flat roof. 6. Multistory buildings are unsafe when evacuating for fire. 7. Single-story buildings look fine. Many of the city's office buildings are only one story. 8. The transparent glass requirement does not promote energy efficiency. LIST OF EXHIBITS Exhibit A: Self-Service Storage Design Guidelines Summary as presented to the LUTC 11 EXHIBIT A PROPOSED SELF-SERVICE STORAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES (REVISIONS IN RED TEXT) Chapter 19.115 FWRC COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES Sections: 19.115.010 Purpose. 19.115.020 Administration. 19.115.030 Applicability. 19.115.040 Security program. 19.115.050 Site design—All zoning districts. 19.115.060 Building design—All zoning districts. 19.115.070 Building and pedestrian orientation—All zoning districts. 19.115.080 Mixed-use residential buildings in commercial zoning districts. 19.115.090 District guidelines. 19.115.100 Institutional uses. 19.115.105 Self-service storage uses 19.115.110 Design criteria for public space. 19.115.115 Design criteria for residential usable open space and fee-in-lieu option. 19.115.120 Design for cluster residential subdivision lots. 19.115.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to: (1) Implement community design guidelines by: (a)Adopting design guidelines in accordance with land use and development policies established in the Federal Way comprehensive plan and in accordance with crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) guidelines. (b) Requiring minimum standards for design review to maintain and protect property values and enhance the general appearance of the city. (c) Increasing flexibility and encouraging creativity in building and site design, while assuring quality development pursuant to the comprehensive plan and the purpose of this chapter. (d) Achieving predictability in design review, balanced with administrative flexibility to consider the individual merits of proposals. (e) Improving and expanding pedestrian circulation, public space, and pedestrian amenities in the city. (2) Implement crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED)principles by: (a) Requiring minimum standards for design review to reduce the rate of crime associated with persons and property, thus providing for the highest standards of public safety. (b) CPTED principles are functionally grouped into the following three categories: (i)Natural surveillance. This focuses on strategies to design the built environment in a manner that promotes visibility of public spaces and areas. Exhibit B Page 1 of 25 (ii)Access control. This category focuses on the techniques that prevent and/or deter unauthorized and/or inappropriate access. (iii) Ownership. This category focuses on strategies to reduce the perception of areas as "ownerless" and, therefore, available for undesirable uses. (c) CPTED principles, design guidelines, and performance standards will be used during project development review to identify and incorporate design features that reduce opportunities for criminal activity to occur. The effectiveness of CPTED is based on the fact that criminals make rational choices about their targets. In general: (i) The greater the risk of being seen, challenged, or caught, the less likely they are to commit a crime. (ii) The greater the effort required, the less likely they are to commit a crime. (iii) The lesser the actual or perceived rewards, the less likely they are to commit a crime. (d) Through the use of CPTED principles, the built environment can be designed and managed to ensure: (i) There is more chance of being seen, challenged, or caught; (ii) Greater effort is required; (iii) The actual or perceived rewards are less; and (iv) Opportunities for criminal activity are minimized.

Applications subject to community design guidelines and crime prevention through environmental design(CPTED) shall be processed as a component of the governing land use process, and the director shall have the authority to approve,modify, or deny proposals under that process. Unlike development standards in the zoning code, this chapter contains guidelines that are intended to serve as performance objectives for developing the appropriate siting and design solution for each development on each unique site. Decisions under this chapter will consider proposals on the basis of individual merit and will encourage creative design alternatives in order to achieve the stated purpose and objectives of this chapter. To further such creative design alternatives, and in recognition of site-specific opportunities and constraints, decisions under this chapter may allow for departure from any specific or numeric provisions contained in these guidelines, provided the end result is consistent with the purpose statement of this chapter. Decisions under this chapter are appealable using the appeal procedures of the applicable land use process. (Ord. No. 13-750, § 3, 11-5-13; Ord. No. 09-604, § 3(Exh. A), 3-3-09; Ord.

This chapter shall apply to all development applications except single-family residential, or those uses exempted in specific sections, subject to this title, Zoning and Development Code. Project Exhibit B Page 2 of 25 proponents shall demonstrate how each CPTED principle is met by the proposal, or why it is not relevant, by either a written explanation or by responding to a checklist prepared by the city. Subject applications for remodeling or expansion of existing developments shall meet only those provisions of this chapter that are determined by the director to be reasonably related and applicable to the area of expansion or remodeling. This chapter in no way should be construed to supersede or modify any other city codes, ordinances, or policies that apply to the proposal. (Ord. No. 17-834, § 6, 5-16-17; Ord. No. 09-604, § 3(Exh. A), 3-3-09; Ord. No. 07-554, § 5(Exh. A(15)), 5-15-07; Ord. No. 06-515, § 3, 2-7-06; Ord. No. 03-443, § 3, 5-20-03; Ord. No. 01-382, § 3, 1-16-01; Ord. No. 99-333, § 3, 1-19-99; Ord. No. 97-291, § 3, 4-1-97; Ord. No. 96-271, § 3, 7-2-96. Code 2001 § 22-1632.) 19.115.040 Security program. The following is a list of general strategies that are encouraged to be addressed in a security program for new stacked multifamily dwelling units, senior housing, or special needs housing: (1) Develop written security 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) Ensure that the lobby and the area immediately outside its doors are free of places of concealment for persons. (4) Install 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 should open directly to hallways, without recesses or blind corners 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. (7) Keep laundry rooms and exercise rooms secure and accessible by residents. (8) Locate mailboxes and mail rooms adjacent to the main lobby of the building. (9) Store keys in a secure location and control their distribution. (10) Control access into the building by locking all exterior entrances, including accessible roof openings, doors to accessible balconies and terraces, and parking garage entrances. Provide automatic door closures, as needed. (11) Provide deadbolt locks,peepholes, and safety chains (night latches) on resident doors. (12) Install a functioning high quality video monitoring system with cameras located in the lobby, elevator, playground, and parking lot. (13) Keep plants and shrubs trimmed to provide for visibility of the building and surrounding property. (14) Trim tree branches up from the ground in order to discourage the possibility of a person hiding. (15) Make sure fences can be seen through. (16) Post the site and building addresses clearly. (Ord. No. 17-834, § 7, 5-16-17.) 19.115.050 Site design—All zoning districts. (1) General criteria. Exhibit B Page 3 of 25 (a) Natural amenities such as views, significant or unique trees, or groupings of trees, creeks, riparian corridors, and similar features unique to the site should be incorporated into the design. (b) Pedestrian areas and amenities should be incorporated in the overall site design. Pedestrian areas include but are not limited to outdoor plazas, arcades, courtyards, seating areas, and amphitheaters. Pedestrian amenities include but are not limited to outdoor benches, tables and other furniture, balconies, gazebos, transparent glass at the ground floor, and landscaping. (c) Pedestrian areas should be easily seen, accessible, and located to take advantage of surrounding features such as building entrances, open spaces, significant landscaping, unique topography or architecture, and solar exposure. (d) Project designers shall strive for overall design continuity by using similar elements throughout the project such as architectural style and features, materials, colors, and textures. (e) Place physical features, activities, and people in visible locations to maximize the ability to be seen, and therefore, discourage crime. For example,place cafes and food kiosks in parks to increase natural surveillance by park users, and place laundry facilities near play equipment in multiple-family residential development. Avoid barriers, such as tall or overgrown landscaping or outbuildings, where they make it difficult to observe activity. (f) Provide access control by utilizing physical barriers such as bollards, fences, doorways, etc., or by security hardware such as locks, chains, and alarms. Where appropriate, utilize security guards. All of these methods result in increased effort to commit a crime and, therefore, reduce the potential for it to happen. (g) Design buildings and utilize site design that reflects ownership. For example, fences, paving, art, signs, good maintenance, and landscaping are some physical ways to express ownership. Identifying intruders is much easier in a well-defined space. An area that looks protected gives the impression that greater effort is required to commit a crime. A cared-for environment can also reduce fear of crime. Areas that are run down and the subject of graffiti and vandalism are generally more intimidating than areas that do not display such characteristics. p Y (2) Surface parking lots. (a) Site and landscape design for parking lots are subject to the requirements of Chapter 19.125 FWRC. (b) Vehicle turning movements shall be minimized. Parking aisles without loop access are discouraged. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall be clearly delineated using directional signage. (c) Driveways shall be located to be visible from the right-of-way but not impede pedestrian circulation on-site or to adjoining properties. Driveways should be shared with adjacent properties to minimize the number of driveways and curb cuts. (d) Multi-tenant developments with large surface parking lots adjacent to a right-of-way are encouraged to incorporate retail pads against the right-of-way to help break up the large areas of pavement. (e) See FWRC 19.115.090 for supplemental guidelines. (3)Parking structures (includes parking floors located within commercial buildings). Exhibit B Page 4 of 25 (a) The bulk (or mass) of a parking structure as seen from the right-of-way should be minimized by placing its short dimension along the street edge. The parking structure should include active uses such as retail, offices or other commercial uses at the ground level and/or along the street frontage. (b) Parking structures which are part of new development shall be architecturally consistent with exterior architectural elements of the primary structure, including rooflines, facade design, and finish materials. (c) Parking structures should incorporate methods of articulation and accessory elements, pursuant to FWRC 19.115.060(3)(b), on facades located above ground level. (d) Buildings built over parking should not appear to "float" over the parking area, but should be linked with ground level uses or screening. Parking at grade under a building is discouraged unless the parking area is completely enclosed within the building or wholly screened with walls and/or landscaped berms. (e) Top deck lighting on multi-level parking structures shall be architecturally integrated with the building, and screened to control impacts to off-site uses. Exposed fluorescent light fixtures are not permitted. (f) Parking structures and vehicle entrances should be designed to minimize views into the garage interior from surrounding streets. Methods to help minimize such views may include, but are not limited to, landscaping, planters, and decorative grilles and screens. (g) Security grilles for parking structures shall be architecturally consistent with and integrated with the overall design. Chain-link fencing is not permitted for garage security fencing. (h) See FWRC 19.115.090(3)(d) for supplemental guidelines. (4)Pedestrian circulation and public spaces. (a) Primary entrances to buildings, except for zero lot line townhouse development and attached dwelling units oriented around an internal courtyard, should be clearly visible or recognizable from the right-of-way. Pedestrian pathways from rights-of-way and bus stops to primary entrances, from parking lots to primary entrances, and pedestrian areas, shall be accessible and should be clearly delineated. (b) Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas should be delineated by separate paved routes using a variation in paved texture and color, and protected from abutting vehicle circulation areas with landscaping. Approved methods of delineation include: stone,brick or granite pavers; exposed aggregate; or stamped and colored concrete. Paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation is not encouraged.

(d) Bicycle racks should be provided for all commercial developments. (e) Outdoor furniture, fixtures, and streetscape elements, such as lighting, freestanding signs, trellises, arbors, raised planters, benches and other forms of seating, trash receptacles, bus stops, phone booths, fencing, etc., should be incorporated into the site design. (f) See FWRC 19.115.090 for supplemental guidelines. (5)Landscaping. Refer to Chapter 19.125 FWRC for specific landscaping requirements and for definitions of landscaping types referenced throughout this chapter. (6) Commercial service and institutional facilities. Refer to FWRC 19.125.150 and 19.125.040 for requirements related to garbage and recycling receptacles, placement and screening. (a) Commercial services relating to loading, storage, trash and recycling should be located in such a manner as to optimize public circulation and minimize visibility into such facilities. Service yards shall comply with the following: Exhibit B Page 6 of 25 (i) Service yards and loading areas shall be designed and located for easy access by service vehicles and tenants and shall not displace required landscaping, impede other site uses, or create a nuisance for adjacent property owners. (ii) Trash and recycling receptacles shall include covers to prevent odor and wind- blown litter. (iii) Service yard walls, enclosures, and similar accessory site elements shall be consistent with the primary building(s) relative to architecture, materials and colors. (iv) Chain-link fencing shall not be used where visible from public streets, on-site major drive aisles, adjacent residential uses, or pedestrian areas. Barbed or razor wire shall not be used. - .01/4;10 11/474'1 'AIR% . tiv"...

(2) Building facade modulation and screening options, defined. Except for zero lot line townhouse development and attached dwelling units, all building facades that are both longer than 60 feet and are visible from either a right-of-way or residential use or zone shall incorporate facade treatment according to this section. Subject facades shall incorporate at least two of the four options described herein; except, however, facades that are solidly screened by Type I landscaping, pursuant to Chapter 19.125 FWRC, Outdoors, Yards, and Landscaping, may use facade modulation as the sole option under this section. Options used under this section shall be incorporated along the entire length of the facade, in any approved combination. Options used must meet the dimensional standards as specified herein; except, however, if more than two are used, dimensional requirements for each option will be determined on a case-by-case basis; provided, that the gross area of a pedestrian plaza may not be less than the specified minimum of 200 square feet. See FWRC 19.115.090(3) for guidelines pertaining to city center core and city center frame. (a) Facade modulation. Minimum depth: two feet; minimum width: six feet; maximum width: 60 feet. Alternative methods to shape a building, such as angled or curved facade elements, off-set planes, wing walls and terracing, will be considered; provided, that the intent of this section is met.

Exhibit B Page 25 of 25 CITY OF Federal Way CITY OF FEDERAL WAY MEMORANDUM DATE: July 2,2018 TO: Land Use&Transportation Committee VIA: Jim Ferrell,Mayor FROM: Brian Davis, Community Development Director Robert"Doc"Hansen, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Amendments to FWRC Title 19, "Zoning and Development Code"Related to Design Guidelines For Self-Service Storage Facilities I. BACKGROUND From 2016 to 2017,the city received 10 proposals for new self-storage facilities. If all the proposed facilities were completed,the number of self-storage businesses in the city would almost triple. Those that had applied for land use and building permits were vested and when completed will more than double the number of storage units in the City, far outpacing projected population growth. On September 5,2017, City Council,upon learning of this growth, adopted a 12-month moratorium on new self-storage facilities. Council directed staff to study the local growth of self-storage business and review development regulations to ensure they meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan while still meeting the needs of the City's population. They also suggested staff examine potential design standards that could be adopted to make such facilities compatible with surrounding environments. It has been brought to the staff's attention that the number of storage units within an area relates to the amount of available storage square footage per person. Research shows that the amount of storage space does not reach a saturation point until there is 11 to 12 sq. ft. of storage space per person in a three mile radius from a given storage site. In 2016, according to several self-storage developers,Federal Way's number was approximately 6 sq. ft.per capita,thereby explaining the rapid increase in self-storage activity. Research also indicates that Federal Way, with its major thoroughfares and intense retail market area,is a favorable place for those in the industry to locate. When any business locates upon the major thoroughfares,it provides an image of the City to the passing resident or traveler. It is therefore necessary to have appropriate design standards to present the type of image that local residents and decision-makers wish to present to the public as expressed in our marketing of the City and outlined within the Comprehensive Plan. Staff examined various jurisdictions to see how they deal with self-storage development and found that many surrounding jurisdictions have more strict design standards and/or land use requirements than the City of Federal Way with regards to such facilities.Their design standards are intended to provide the atmosphere intended to project to the public. These jurisdictions do not deny the development of self- storage within the jurisdiction. They only attempt to ensure the compatibility of such development with 1 the environment the Plan encourages. Amendments to our Code are necessary to ensure that self-storage businesses locate in areas appropriate for such activity, are held to higher design standards than now exist to meet our image objectives, and are compatible with surrounding environments. II. CURRENT STANDARDS Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC)defines self-service storage facilities as"a structure or group of structures for the storage of personal property where individual stalls or lockers are rented out to different tenants for storage"(FWRC 19.05.190). Self-storage facilities are permitted via Use Process II and III (administrative approval)in three zoning districts,which are the Neighborhood Business(BN),the Community Business(BC)and Commercial Enterprise(CE)zones. Each of these zones has a specific purpose including: • Neighborhood Business(BN)"Is 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"(Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, 2015). • Community Business(BC)"To allow a broad mix of uses,including general, specialty, and service retail; commercial; office; commercial/residential mixed-use; and supportive uses.This designation envisions mid-rise(three to seven stories),high quality developments containing a vibrant and compatible mix of well integrated and designed pedestrian-oriented and auto-oriented uses"(Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, 2015). • Commercial Enterprise(CE): "Is primarily intended to capture the demand for a diverse mix of industrial, office, and retail sales and services,arrayed in well integrated,high quality developments. Housing is not contemplated for this designation"(Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, 2015). Self-storage businesses are large-scale and auto-centric. They conflict with the stated purpose of the BN zoning district to provide a pedestrian environment with businesses designed to serve the neighborhood. While such businesses may provide service to a market area as defined by the developer,the nature of the self-storage often aligns more closely to the purposes of the BC and CE districts, and therefore, should be restricted to these zones. For self-storage facilities,FWRC currently requires building facade modulation,entrances oriented toward the right-of-way,pedestrian pathways, landscaping and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. Self-storage building height is limited to 35 ft. in the BN zone, and 55 ft. in the BC and CE zones. III. PROPOSED CHANGES TO CODE Staff has examined self-storage regulations from other jurisdictions,both within and outside the Puget Sound Region. The following code revisions are recommended in order to better meet land use goals from the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. 1. Eliminate all use of self-storage in the Neighborhood Business(BN)zoning district section of the Code(FWRC 19.215). The primary purpose for elimination of self-storage in this zone is the zone's intent,as stated in the Comprehensive Plan,to provide convenient goods and services at a 2 pedestrian and neighborhood scale. Self-storage is an auto-centric use and not considered pedestrian-friendly. 2. Adopt the following design standards for self-storage in the Community Business(BC) and Commercial Enterprise(CE)zoning districts including: a. Permitting self-service storage facilities only within multistory structures designed to emulate multifamily or office buildings. The accompanying graphics supplied by the staff shows how such a standard will encourage increased intensity in business areas.

The ground floor transparency requirements of the commercial districts design guidelines shall also apply to each floor above the ground floor of a self-service storage facility building that is visible from a street or from a residentially zoned area. Such a standard will allow vision of an active business area as intended by the adopted plan.

Require variation for any roof lines which exceed fifty(50)feet in length discouraging the sometimes boxy appearance of self-storage buildings. Roof line variation shall be achieved using one(1)or more of the following methods: i. Vertical offset ridge line,intended to break up long rooflines; or ii. Horizontal offset ridge line,meant to vary long building facades; or iii. Variations of roof pitch,designed to provide visual appeal.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Jeff Carpenter: He lives in Mukilteo and is one of the applicants for a self-storage project that just missed being grandfathered. He doesn't see why the city wants to restrict self-storage facilities from the BN zone. He stated that when he drives through the city's various zones,he doesn't see a difference in the different commercial and retail zones. He stated that the land they are proposing to locate a self-storage facility on is in poor shape and would be unlikely to draw another type of user. It is an underused and difficult to build site.They are not planning on a large facility and are planning on utilizing many of the suggested design standards. He read from the comprehensive plan regarding the use of the BN zone and feels a self-storage facility fits those uses. Customers want a facility near their home. They want to be able to multi-task, such as visiting their storage unit and grocery shopping during the same trip. V.

Permit self-storage development within the BC and CE zones provided they meet the standards listed above. VII. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 6, 2018. By a vote of 6-0,the following motion passed: The Planning Commission recommends to City Council that the proposed FWRC text amendments not be adopted. 7 Regarding the proposed removal of new self-storage facilities from the BN District,the Planning Commission offered the following comments: 1. This action is not business-friendly. Consider the economic impacts. 2. The proposal will not enhance the BN district. 3. The city needs to implement the Twin Lakes Subarea Plan to achieve its vision of the BN district. Regarding the proposed design guidelines,the Planning Commission offered the following comments: 1. The proposed design requirements are arbitrary. 2. Rather than singling out self-storage,revise design standards for all uses in all zoning districts. 3. The new requirements are intended to penalize self-storage developers. 4. The additional requirements will be costly for developers to meet. 5. A pitched roof looks no better than a flat roof. 6. Multistory buildings are unsafe when evacuating for fire. 7. Single-story buildings look fine. Many of the city's office buildings are only one story. 8. The transparent glass requirement does not promote energy efficiency.
