Silver Lake '19 NTS - SW 340th St (l9th Ave SW to Saghalie Park)
Financial Impacts:
This project is part of the Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) Program. In accordance with the approved
budget this project is funded by the Streets Fund. Upon completion of this project, ongoing costs
associated with operations and maintenance will be performed and funded through Streets and Traffic
Division maintenance. Funding requirements for operations and maintenance of infrastructure is reviewed
and adjusted as required dúring the budget process.
The currently allocated NTS budget is $50,000 per year with $20,000 designated specifically for school
NTS and/or school safety related improvements. Currently, one (l) NTS project is currently being
constructed in202l with an estimated cost of $15,400, leaving an NTS budget balance of around $34,600
for 2021. The total estimated cost of the proposed project at SW 340th Street between 19th Ave SW and
Saghalie Park is approximately $30,500 which exceeds the $15,000 per neighborhood per year budget
limitation policy guideline.
Background Information:
Residents along SW 340th St submitted a petition on May 78,2019, requesting traffic calming devices to
control vehicle speeds along SW 340th St between lgth Ave SW and Saghalie Park. SW 340th St is
classified as a Minor Collector with a posted speed limit of 25 mph. Traffic studies were conducted in
June/July of 2019, and the results are as follows:
Based on the cunent adopted NTS installation criteria (per table below), the petition scored 4.5 total
severity points. This meets the minimum 3.0 severity points to qualifr for the installation of traffic
calming devices.

A neighborhood traffic safety meeting was held virtually via Zoom on February 3, 2021. Participants
included residents and staff from the City's Traffic Division, Federal Way Public Schools, and South King
County Fire/Rescue. The 9 resident attendees all agreed that reducing speeding and cut-through traffic along
SW 340th Street, as well as reducing other unsafe driving behavior at the intersection of SW 340th St / 19tt'
Ave SW was a priority. A few attendees also expressed concems about students crossing the street at the
intersection to get to/from school. Although all options and traffic calming tools were considered, Speed
Humps and Traffic Circles/Chicanes were the most popular option.
Proposal:
Based on these concerns, Options I and 3 (below) was developed to slow vehicles and discourage other
unsafe driving behavior along SW 340th St and 19th Ave SW. With the reduced vehicle speeds provided by the
speed humps and traffic circle (with chicanes), the safety of the neighborhood should be greatly improved for
motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Option I -Two (2) Speed Humps and One (I) Trìtffic Circle (with chicanes) in 2021
This option would install a total of two (2) speed humps and one ( I ) traffic circle (with chicanes). The two
speed humps would be installed on SW 340th St east of the intersection with lgth Ave SW, as shown on the
attached figure. An effort was made to space the speed humps as evenly as possible between the proposed
traffic circle (with chicanes) and existing speed hump at 1419 SW 340th St. The humps are located to avoid
directly impacting driveways and mailbox delivery and will be located at the marked locations near (or
between) the following addresses:
o 1515 SW 340th St
o 1707 Sw 340th St
The traffic circle (with chicanes) would replace the partial stop control at the intersection of SW 340th St / lgth
Ave SW. The proposed devices should be effective in reducing vehicle speeds, and improving vehicular and
pedestrian safety. However, there may be some negative impacts to the neighborhood including
inconvenience and perhaps a slight increase in emergency response time.
Option2-NoAction
This option would not build any traffic calming devices and the street(s) would remain in its current
condition.
Optìon 3 -Two (2) Speed Humps in 2021; One (1) Trøf/ic Circle (with chicanes) in 2022
This option would install atotal of two (2) speed humps in202l and one (1) trafhc circle (with chicanes) in
2022. The two speed humps would be installed on SW 340th St east of the intersection with 19th Ave SW, as

addresses:
o 1515 SW 340th Sr
o 1707 SW 340th St
The traffic circle (with chicanes) would replace the partial stop control at the intersection of SW 340th St / 19th
Ave SW. The proposed devices should be effective in reducing vehicle speeds, and improving vehicular and
pedestrian safety. However, there may be some negative impacts to the neighborhood including
inconvenience and perhaps a slight increase in emergency response time.
Advisory Bøllot
In accordance with established NTS policies, City staff sent a total of 37 ballots to residential occupants
within 600 feet (measured along the road centerline) of the proposed traffic calming device locations. The
table below summarizes the complete ballot results for the l9 ballots received (517o return rate):

The Traffic Division staff proposal is in accordance with the balloting results, NTS policy limits, and
residents' priorities and therefore is recommending Option 3. The proposed locations for thè speed
humps have been marked on the street. The proposed package should be effective in reducing speeds
along SW 340th St and should also reduce cut-through traffic. However, there may be some negative
impacts to the neighborhood including inconvenience and a slight increase in emergency response time.

SUBJECT: Authorizøtion to lease SlltM Parcel #2921049059 to Jømes l4 Fowler Co
Financial Impacts:
The revenue to the City for leasing of SWM Parcel #2921049059 is estimated to be $12,125.00
and will be credited to the Public Works Department Surface Water Management fund, budget
line 401-0000-000-362-00-000. Upon completion of the lease, there will be no future costs.
Backsround Information:
Surface Water Management Division owns a parcel in the City of Federal Way located on the
south side of S 359th Street legally described as King County Parcel #291049059, see attached
map.
SWM Staff were contacted by Lakehaven Water and Sewer District requesting use of this SWM
parcel for a laydown area during the construction of a pump station and associated waterline.
Lakehaven's contractor, James W. Fowler would lease the S 359th SWM parcel from signed
lease date through i|l{ay 2022. The lease would allow for an extension with notice given to the
SWM Division Manager no later than April 30,2022. SWM has leased property for similar
purposes in the past.
The proposed lease amount of $1,000/month was based on a survey of area general contractors to
determine the average cost of similar lay down areas as well as leases of City parcels by other
Departments.
SWM staff requests authorization to enter into a temporary lease of SV/M Parcel 291049059 at
$1,000/month for a period of one year with an option for an extension to James W. Fowler Co.

SUBJECT: Award Concrete Beveling Services - Trip Hazard Removal Contract
FINAIICIALIMPACTS:
Funding for the Concrete Beveling Services - Trip Hazard Removal contract is included in the
Streets Maintenance fund (101) budget for 202112022. Streets maintenance funding consists of
general funds (utility tax, sales tax, property tax, etc.) and Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET).
BACKGROTIND IIÍFORMATION :
The city is responsible for sidewalk maintenance. The city has on-going maintenance related to
uneven sidewalk surfaces that create triphazards. These tnphazards are primarily a result of tree
roots heaving the panels. One way to correct these trip hazards is to saw or grind the "high" side
of the panel to be even with the adjacent panel.
From the inspections conducted as part of our Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition
Plan, we estimate over $200,000 of trip hazard removal back log on our arterial sidewalk system.
Although city staff has the capabilities of completing this type of work, and will continue to do
so, the backlog is too much and the assistance of a contractor is needed. The city is prioritizing
the arterials in areas of highest pedestrian usage.
The city requested bids from all small works contractors listed under'oConcrete Sidewalk - Trip
Hazard Removal" category. One bid was received. Precision Concrete Cutting, Inc. is the lowest,
responsive, responsible bidder.
The public works maintenance contract will be for a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000.00
(approximately $50,000 per year for 2021 and2022). Scope and schedule will be agreed upon
via task orders with work completed no later than December 31, 2022.

Subject: Discussion of Climate Action Plan for City of Federal Way
Last October Federal Way citizens Cindy and Mark Piennett made the Mayor and Council
aware of their involvement with the Seattle-King County League of Women Voters' City
Climate Action Committee. Staff began to meet with them to formulate options to create a
climate action plan for the City of Federal Way.
The city shares an overarching goal to affirm short, medium and long-term initiatives to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in line with County and State goals.
The goal of the League's City Climate Action Committee is to increase the engagement of
residents to successfully implement their city's climate action goals.
Dropping Carbon Emissions:
Cities of King County have kept carbon emissions basically flat since 2007, even though the
population has grown. (orange line in graph)

As a community we should join this effort and create a Climate Action Plan.
This will entail reaching beyond informing and consulting the public to involving,
collaborating and empowering the public.
Through education and civic engagement, residents can help Federal Way meet its climate
goals. When we implement equitable public outreach, human behaviors change, and carbon
emission reduction targets will be met.
Geo/City Footprint:
Cities are the unit of change for reducing carbon emissions throughout King County. The
Seattle-King County League of Women Voters is working primarily with 20 cities where
League members reside. These mostly medium and larger cities account for 75Yo of the carbon
emissions.^r.-*- T-.,,." l* *.-..,"-.-**

Cindy and Mark, as "Climate Action Guides" will work with the city of Federal Way in a
customized approach to help achieve emission reduction goals and engage our community using
King County's Strateeic Climate Action Plan and the Climate Action Toolkit
FIVE CLIMATE ACTION STEPS F'OR FEDERAL \ilAY
(Source: Climate Action Toolkit. King County)
1. Understand Federal Way's Emissions:
A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory enables a quantitative understanding of the city's emissions
profile and is critical to informing climate-related actions, goals, and targets. It sets a baseline to
track perfoÍnance over time.
a) Using King County's 2020 data, Federal Way's share of GHG emissions is calculated
as a proxy until a customized GHG emissions inventory can be conducted for Federal
V/ay. This proxy can be a stepping-stone to educate the public about regional emissions
and publicize the city's commitment to lowering carbon emissions. Proxies do not allow
for accurately tracking progress against emissions reductions or show numerical retums
on investment.

This Federal Lltay Prory assumes we are 40Á of total King County based on population and reallocation of Industrial
Buildings.
As shown above, the vast majority of GHG emissions for us come from usage of energy in
transportation and buildings, which is where we will focus GHG emission reduction targets.
b) Conduct a customized GHG emissions inventory for the Federal Way.
This requires time and resources and can be done by a consultant or staff with the
expertise. It can take three to six months to complete the first GHG inventory. Frequency
can be annual, every other year, every 5 years.
Recommended resource in the Toolkit: ICLEI (International Council for Local
Environmental Initiatives) protocols and software. Potential funding from K4C or grants.
@ City government emissions are a fraction of the total community's emissions.
c) One important action is joining the Kine Counfy Cities Climate Collaborative (K4C),
which is a key regional partner in this effort. This is a consortium of King County, 16
cities and the Port of Seattle who are committed to climate action planning. Membership
by the City would include beneflrts of outreach, coordination, sharing, funding and
resources. Membership is $2,500 ayear and the commitment of attendance by city staff
at quarterly meetings and regional elected leaders at annual meetings.
2. Determine Federal Way's Level of Commitment
Commission a mayor-appointed Climate Action Task Force to include a few residents,
knowledgeable stakeholders, l-2 city council members, mayor's office and city technical staff
and/or a part-time consultant.
35
Results of the Federal Way emissions inventory will show the source of the largest impacts and
opportunities for GHG reductions. The city should determine its level of commitment by setting
specific climate goals to achieve emissions reductions, considering geography, density, public
transportation, age of buildings, resources required, leadership buy-in and community influence.
These goals will be aligned with the K4C targets of reducing emissions 50o/oby 2030 and 80%
by 2050. The Climate Action Task Force will make climate goal recommendations to the mayor.
Timeframe 2-3 months, depending on whose sign off is needed. Examples of other cities' goals

3. Develop a Climate Action Plan Tailored for Federal Way
a) Form a city-wide Climate Action Advisory Group to work with the goals set by the
Task Force, engage and educate the community on the climate goal priorities, solicit their
input and to create a Climate Action Plan. Equity, social justice and the city's largest
areas of impact should be addressed in the plan.
Engagement can include surveys, focus groups, interviews, workshops, panels and / or
events.
To engage all of the community, the Advisory Group should include citizens, businesses,
and representatives from faith and cultural communities, civic groups, PTA / school, fire,
o
o
o
36
water and sewer districts to gain feedback and buy-in.
Federal Way will benefit from having two committed residents, Cindy and Mark
Piennett, who will serve as Climate Guides in collaboration with the League of Women
Voters (Seattle/King County)'s City Climate Action Committee to guide the development
of the Climate Action Plan.
Our Climate Guides in association with the League have learned that public engagement
is an essential strategy to lower carbon emissions. Creating a diverse, equitable and
inclusive (DED advisory group will:
o assist in the public outreach and education about the priority goals
o ensure equitable and targeted resource distribution through the goals
o instigate public participatory activities that will lower carbon emissions and build
public support for the goals
This effort will take flexibility to adjust and pivot alongside a rapidly changing landscape
as more is learned about what does / does not work. Timeframe: 3-6 months, depending
on depth of stakeholder engagement and level of intricacy of the plan.
b) Approval of the Federal Way Climate Action Plan:
The city council should take formal action after consideration of public input, staffing and
budget realities. This council action should be highly publicized.
4. Identiff and Implement Emissions Reduction Actions:
This is where most time and effort will be spent. As local experience with democratic
engagement grows, the public goal-driven projects will become more complex and collaborative
Only when the public is committed to democratic engagement and changing their own living
behaviors, will carbon emissions drop. At this stage, implementation timelines, accountability
measures, resource assignments, budgets, processes are developed and shared with the public.
5. Measure and Report Progress
What gets measured gets managed - and funded! Changes in emissions versus baseline and the
associated co-benefits should be tracked on2,3, or 5-year intervals. Examples: 'W' many
living-wage jobs were created, oX' dollars were saved, air quality increased by 'YYo' and'Z'
dozen low-income community housing developments were built because of program _.
Federal Way's Climate Action Plan will be updated continuously.

Progress Update on Sound Transit Projects in Federal Way
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
None.
BACKGROUND INT'ORMATION :
Staff will present the monthly progress update on the Sound Transit projects in the City of
Federal Way.
Updates for this month
Federal Way Link Extension:
o Clearing activities will continue along the I-5 corridor with some grading activities also
expected to start. Sound Transit outreach staff is informing residents as new areas of
clearing begin.
. A Sound Transit outreach event is planned to update the public on the design and
construction of the Federal Way Transit Center area. This is something that was done for
each of the stations when the design reached a 60Yo level of completeness.. Column construction will be continuing in the City Center area. In the near future and in
coordination with WSDOT, the contractor, Kiewit, will close the HOV off-ramp for a
weekend to allow column construction in the WSDOT roundabout area.o The station plaza sculpture artist, Donald Lipski, has submitted conservative structural
load calculations to the design team for the sculpture foundation. There is no update on
the design at this time, the best estimate is still that a new design will be presented toward
the end of 2021
OMF South:
o The DEIS comment period ended. No timeline is yet known for response to comments by
the City Council or staff nor when a preferred alternative will be identified.

Follow-up presentation on options for a downtown planning project
Financial Impacts:
The202l-22 budget contains $100,000 in the General Fund for a downtown planning project.
This should be committed to entering into contract with a design professional for working
through the spacing and design issues of the Council's vision, starting with a focus on 21st Ave
S, which will then inform adjacent property redevelopment.
Background Information:
In2020, Council expressed a desire to conduct extra downtown planning efforts. During the202l-
22budget deliberations, the $200,000 project cost estimate was partially funded with $100,000
allocated to the 2021-22 General Fund. Staff is seeking feedback from the LUTC on possible
options that meet the needs of the request with half of the funding budgeted.
During our initial discussion on April 5th, we asked councilmembers about their needs and
desired outcomes for the planning effort, in order to get a better idea of the scope of the project.
Due to the complexity of this topic, it became clear that this needed to be a longer conversation
in order to better understand the expectations of the entire Council. To achieve that end, smaller,
more personalized meetings were held over the following two weeks with each Council member.
After these meetings staff now believe that we have a good idea of the Council's expectations for
the Downtown neighborhood.
What we heard from the Council:
The desired outcome of this project is to ensure that the downtown neighborhood (City Center)
develops into a well-defined, pedestrian friendly area, with a good mix of housing and jobs that
will produce a vibrantly active downtown, both day and night. A diversity of housing including
market rate and affordable, rental and ownership with increased retail and office uses, along with
a network of public spaces and parks. A place with an attractive streetscape and a safe, livable
environment. The City Center should be a desirable place to live, work and play, as well as a
regional destination for shopping, entertainment and social gatherings.

This description happens to align very well with the current vision statement, in the
comprehensive plan, for City Center.
By the end of the comprehensive plønning horizon in 2035, the Federal Vïay City Center
has evolved into the cultural, social, and economic center of the City andfulfilled its role
as one of Puget Sound's regional network of urban centers. This role is reinforced by
pedestrian-oriented streetscapes; an fficient multi-modal transportqtion system; livable
and affordable housing; increased retail, service, civic, and ffice development in a
compact area; a network of public spaces and parlæ; superior urban design; and a safe
and vibrant street life....
During our meetings with council we discovered some topics or concerns that resonated with
most. We also found that most of those concerns related to land use, design and street life, and
housing.

To accomplish this vision, staff are proposing two (2) concept alternatives for consideration, as
well as a list of known actions that could be folded into either alternative.
Alternative 1 : Prioritized Sector Implementation
Alternative 1 would envision prioritizing City efforts by sub-area within the City Center. The
Center would be divided into 3 phased sub areas (see figure below).

April5,202l
Land Use and Transportation Committee
Subject - Downtown Planning Project Options
Page 3
Phase 1 would include those parcels within the Core zone most influenced by the new transit
station. The area would include the currently City-owned properties, the Sound Transit surplus
properties, the Commons Mall property and the City CenterPlazaproperties.
The Phase 1 work would be centered around a pedestrian/bicycle spine (21't Ave S); planning for
the ST surplus parcels; use of the City-owned parcel; and, working with the private property
owners on redevelopment plans.
gÊmirÞlè L?
Phase 2 would focus additional City efforts on the other properties currently zoned CC-C.
Finally, the City would look at a finer level of detail in Phase 3 for remaining opportunities to
achieve the desired vision.
Work on these 3 Phases would need to happen sequentially revisiting dhe vision after each Phase
Pros
Allows resources to be focused on a smaller area (Phase 1 is approximately 100 acres).
This would allow a finer-grained lens to be applied to the problems and opportunities.
By focusing on a portion of the Center first, the City will be able to look at the other areas
(Phases 2 &,3) understanding what has been accomplished and what may have been
missed during the Phase I implementation.

Alternative 2: Continue Plan Implementation by prioritizine Actions
The implementation strategies and actions currently outlined in the City Center Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan were written to achieve the vision. Some actions have been completed over
the past few years. Some of the bigger more recognizable actions were:
o Town Square Park
o Performing Arts and Events Center
o Establish a High Capacity Transit Center
o Development of an Economic Development Strategy
There are 15 implementing actions identified in the Plan for the 2015-2035 timeframe (pages VII
2e-30).
The initial work items would include;o Evaluating the action items and developing a timeline and budget for each incomplete
item.
. Developing a prioritization list of the remaining action items.
Proposed Actions for Either Alternative
o Request Sound Transit convey surplus properties to the City for development
Pursue public-private partnerships to leverage desired development on publicly owned
properties.
V/ork with property owners to create development agreements that will help the City
achieve the vision of a high-density, mixed-use, pedestrian friendly downtown, including
the dedication of rights-of-way to augment the street network.
Develop safe pedestrian and bicycle crossing of S 320th St
Develop designs for: 21't Ave S pedestrian/bike spine; Gateway and wayfinding features
for the Downtown neighborhood; and streetscape amenities such as benches, waste

Presentation on King County Growth Targets
Financial lmpacts:
None. For informational purposes only.
Background Information:
The GMA provides the foundation for the development of regional planning policies via the
Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), and those policies shape Countywide Planning Policies
(CPP), which in turn provide guidance for the development of our planning policies.
The regional population projection is handed down from the State Office of Financial
Management (OFM) to PSRC. PSRC then allocates the population to each county based the
regional VISON 2050 Plan and the regional growth strategy. CPPs, developed by the King
County Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), establish growth targets for each
jurisdiction. The growth targets currently being established will be used for our updated2024
comprehensive plan, with a planning horizon to2044. Our comprehensive plan will link these
growth targets to land use assumptions, guiding where people will live and work within our city
This process happens every 6-8 years, and coincides with comp plan update schedules.

The methodology for developing these growth targets is a 5-step process.. In Step 1, the counties share of the regional population allocation is handed down from
PSRC. That allocation is based on the regional strategies outlined in Vision 2050. For
this202l process, King county's share of the regional growth amounts to 50o/o of the total
regional population and 59o/o of the total regional jobs. After converting population to
housing and jobs, the county's share is 112,859 housing units and 222,789jobs. These
housing units and jobs must then be allocated to the jurisdictions within the county.
. Step 2was the selection of factors to be considered when estimating growth allocations
for each city. This provides a baseline of existing conditions and assumptions for
consideration when dividing up the housing and jobs.
. Current Growth Targets (2006-2035)
. Past Job Growth(2012-2018)
. Past Housing Growth (2006-2019)
. Current Jobs (2019)
. Current Housing (2020)
. Current Growth Capacity Analysis- (2021)
Cities within the county were also divided up into three categories, Metropolitan cities, Core
cities and High Capacity Transit Communities. Federal V/ay was grouped with the Core cities
(cities with populations between 80,000 -120,000)
Step 3 was to collect data for each factor outlined in step 2.
Step 4 was to use that data to determine the proportionate share of the regional pie each
jurisdiction has had historically, for each factor.
Step 5 was to use those proportionate shares to allocate the additional housing and jobs to
the cities. This process created the preliminary growth targets currently under
consideration.
King Co then opened discussions with the cities to get their thoughts on these preliminary
allocations, and negotiate adjustments where possible. Some jurisdictions accepted the proposed
targets, others wanted more or less than the initial allocations. Public Works and Community
Development Staff came together and considered that 2.5 Light Rail stations will be operating
here in the near future, and will likely result in an increase in housing demand around those
station areas as they come online.
This first round of negotiations left some 7,700 Housing units and 35,000 Jobs on the table,
which still needed to go someplace within the county. After a second round of negotiations, a

For Federal Way we accepted a fair share of the remaining housing units, as did many other
jurisdictions. On Jobs, we also estimated that the 2.5 new light rail stations would help draw
additional jobs to the city. At this point the housing units have all been allocated, but there are

It's important to note that these targets are a prediction, looking 23124 years into the future. We
can plan for these targets but there is no guarantee that the future will be as we predict it will be.
And 6-8 years from now, we will go through this process again, and adjust our plans
accordingly. This is an ongoing repetitive process, and part of being proactive in our city's
planning. While King County is in charge of allocating these growth targets, the City determines
in what manner that growth will be accommodated.
