“Affordable Housing Lots – Lots 7 and 13 are designated as affordable housing units per City of Federal Way Cottage Housing Ordinance, Federal Way Revised Code Chapter 19.250, Section

Mirror Lake Highland Plat Alteration Summary
FWRC 19.250.150 regarding affordable housing bonus was in effect at the time of Mirror Lake Highland preliminary plat approval and final plat approval, and was applicable to the Mirror
Lake Highland Cottage Housing Plat.
FWRC 19.250.150 was titled: Affordable housing bonus in RS zoning classifications. In summary, FWRC 19.250.150 stated in part: In the RS zones, CHD’s that include affordable units may
exceed the base level of 12 dwelling units up to a total of 16 dwelling units (assuming adequate overall lot size). One-half of all dwelling units over the base level of 12 must be
affordable (for example, a total of four additional dwelling units may be permitted if two of these are affordable)”
