will benefit the City as a whole by ensuring that transit stations are developed in a complete and
functional manner, become an amenity to the people they serve, and do not burden local
businesses and communities.
(c) These code amendments comply with Chapter 36.70A RCW, the Growth
Management Act.
Ordinance No. 22-930 Page 3 of 17
(d) These code amendments are consistent with the intent and purpose of Title 19
FWRC and will implement and are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan.
(e) These code amendments bear a substantial relationship to, and will protect and
not adversely affect, the public health, safety, and welfare.
(f) These code amendments have followed the proper procedure required under the
FWRC.
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to Chapter 19.80 FWRC and Chapter 19.35 FWRC, and
based upon the recitals and the findings set forth in Section 1, the City Council makes the
following Conclusions of Law with respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the adoption
of the proposed amendments:
(a) The proposed FWRC amendments are consistent with, and substantially
implement, the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
NEG12 Promote land use patterns and transportation systems that minimize air pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions.
TP6.4 The City will continue to cooperate with regional and local transit providers to develop
facilities that make transit a more attractive option.
CCG9 Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation, high
occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles, and integrated parking.
CCG15 Work with transit providers to develop a detailed HCT plan for the City Center. Identify
facilities, services, and implementation measures needed to make transit a viable and attractive
travel mode. Tailor the plan to meet local needs through rapid transit, express buses, and/or
demand -responsive service.
CCP29 Integrate the high capacity transit system with other transportation modes serving
Federal Way and the region.
CCP33 Encourage public and private parking structures (below or above ground) in lieu of
surface parking. As redevelopment occurs and surface parking becomes increasingly constrained,
Ordinance No. 22-930 Page 4 of 17
consider a public/private partnership to develop structured parking in the downtown commercial
area.
CCP34 Encourage the provision of structured parking.
(b) The proposed FWRC amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public
health, safety, and welfare because it will ensure that transit stations are developed as complete
and effective public facilities, with a greater ability to provide the public with a faster, safer, and
cleaner mode of transportation, while reducing congestion on the public roadways.
(c) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public and the residents of
the City of Federal Way because it helps to ensure that transit stations are developed in a
complete and functional manner, becoming a multi -modal amenity to the people they serve.

19.105.020 Essential public facilities.
(1) Generally. The review and siting of essential public facilities shall conform to the following:
(a) Class I facilities shall be reviewed under the zoning _provisions found in their respective
zoning districts, as well as the special provisions outlined in subsection (2) of this section._
Review of Class I facilities shall be under process IV, hearing examiner decisioner
(b) Class II facilities shall be reviewed under the zoning provisions and processes found in
their respective zoning districts, unless they are found to be exempt under the Federal Fair
Housing Act, in which case such exemption does not imply an exemption from applicable
building or structural standards.
(2) Site evaluation criteria. The following criteria will be utilized in evaluating siting proposals
made by sponsoring agencies or organizations seeking to site Class I essential public facility in
Federal Way. These criteria encompass an evaluation of regional and/or local need and local site
suitability for the proposed facility. Findings concerning the proposal's conformance with each
criteria shall be included in the documentation of any city decision relative to the project.
(a) Demonstration of need. Project must establish the need for their proposed facility.
Included in the analysis of need should be the projected service population, an inventory of
existing and planned comparable facilities, and an assessment of demand for this type of
essential public facility.
Ordinance No. 22-930 Page 9 of 17
(b) Relationship of service area to population. The facility should service a share of Federal
Way's population within the city. The proposed site should also be in a location that
reasonably serves its over-all service area population.
(c) Minimum site requirements. Project sponsors shall submit documentation showing the
minimum site requirement needs for the facility. Site requirements may be determined by any
or all of the following parameters: Minimum size of the facility, access, necessary on -site
support facilities, topography, geology and soils and mitigation requirements. The sponsor
shall also identify any future expansions of the facility.
(d)Alternative site selection. The sponsor shall document whether any alternative site have
been identified that meet the minimum site requirements of the facility. Where a proposal
involves expansion of an existing site, the documentation should indicate why relocation of
the facility to another site would be infeasible.
(e) Concentration of essential public facilities. In considering a proposal, the city shall
examine the overall concentration of these facilities within the city to avoid placing undue
burden on any one neighborhood.
(f) Public participation. Sponsors shall conduct local outreach efforts with early notification
to prospective neighbors to inform them about the project and to engage local residents in
site planning and mitigation design prior to the initiation of formal hearings.
(g) Proposed impact mitigation. The proposal must include adequate and appropriate
mitigation measures for the impacted area and neighborhood. Mitigation measures may
include, but are not limited to, natural features that may serve as buffers, other site design
elements used in the development plan, and/or operational or other programmatic measures
Ordinance No. 22-930 Page 10 of 17
contained in the proposal. The proposed measures should be adequate to substantially reduce
or compensate for anticipated adverse impacts on the local environment.
