COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — PLANNING DIVISION
Stacey Welsh, 253-835-2634, stace .w lsh ci of eder lwa .cam
1. 7aniyrg Designa ian and Use —The subject property is designated Community Business (BC) and is subject to a
July 24, 1990, Concomitant Zoning Agreement (CZA). Pursuant to Section 2B of the CZA, the proposed
grocery store is a permitted use; however, the existing building (WinCo Foods) utilizes the total square
footage allowed for both the grocery and drug store use detailed in the CZA. As a result, an amendment to
the CZA is required. Grocery store is a permitted retail use in the CZA and BC zone as listed within and
subject to the regulations set forth in both the CZA and Use Zone Chart of FWRC 19.220.010.
2. Concomitant Amendment— A grocery store addition requires an amendment to the existing CZA, as discussed
in Section 3 of the CZA. Section 3 states, in part:
"... this Agreement may be amended by the City or the Owner by filing an application therefore, which hall
be considered and heard in the same manner as a City -initiated gxari jNdicial rezone of the property. "
Per FWRC 19.75.020(1)(a), city -initiated quasi-judicial rezones are treated as non -project -related rezones.
Therefore, the CZA amendment will be conducted pursuant to the procedures of a non -project -related
Process V "Quasi -Judicial Rezone," in accordance with FWRC Chapter 19.75. Process V land use
applications require a public hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner, a written recommendation from
the Hearing Examiner, and a decision from the City Council.
FWRC 19.75.130(3)(a) lists the decisional criteria for non -project -related quasi-judicial rezones:
"(a) The city may approve an application for a quasi-judicial non -project rezone only if it finds that:
(i) The proposed rezone is in the best interest of the residents of the city; and
(ii) The proposed rezone is appropriate because either:
(A) Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning and that, under those changed
conditions, a rezone is within the public interest; or
(B) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was inappropriate
when established;

(iii) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan;
(iv) It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the title, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan; and
(v) It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare."
The applicant shall address these criteria in a written narrative. The submittal requirements for a Use
Process V are enclosed.
Discussed at Meeting. Regarding the idea of having a separate meeting to discuss draft CZA amendments; as
the first step, the applicant and their consultants will prepare a draft for discussion/meeting purposes.
3. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — Pursuant to FWRC 14.15.030(1), the project is subject to
environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), as the proposal exceeds the flexible
thresholds (development of a more than 12,000 square foot commercial building). An environmental
threshold determination made by the Director of Community Development must be issued and the
associated appeal period concluded prior to issuance of a land use decision. Public notice will be required
as established in FWRC Title 14.
4. Land Use Application — The CZA amendment requires a Use Process V application with SEPA. In
addition, per the BC use zone chart (FWRC 19.220.010), the retail project requires a Use Process III
application with SEPA. The decision criteria are contained in FWRC 19.65.100(4 Normally, Process III
is a review process conducted by city staff with a final decision issued by the Community Development
Director; however, pursuant to FWRC 19.15.060:
1119.15.060 Optional consolidated permit process.
Where this title requires more than one application for a given project, all applications required
for the project may be submitted for review at one time. Where more than one application is
submitted for a given development, and those applications are subject to different levels of
process, then all of the applications shall be subject to the highest level of process that applies to
any of the individual applications, and procedures for issuance of a letter of completeness, notice
of application, notice of decision, open review record hearing, and/or appeal hearing, if
applicable, shall be applied to the several applications as if they were part of a single application."
A consolidated permit process is required by code, and therefore, a Use Process III and Use Process V
are required and will be processed according to the procedures of Use Process V (FWRC 19.75). A
Process V land use application require a public hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner, a written
recommendation from the Hearing Examiner, and a decision from the City Council. The applicant may
provide one SEPA submittal that addresses both the CZA amendment and the project.
5. Land Use Review Timeframes — The Planning Division will notify the applicant of the application status
within 28 days of submittal. If the application is determined complete, staff will issue a Letter of
Complete Application. The FWRC limits the administrative review to 120 days from the date of a
complete application. The 120-day review period will stop any time the applicant has been requested by
the city to correct plans, perform required studies, or provide additional information needed to issue a
decision. The review period will begin within 14 days following submittal of requested items. Please be
advised that any request for corrections and/or additional information must be provided within 180 days
of written notification, or the land use application will expire.

February 18, 2020
ii. Type III landscaping five feet in width shall be provided along all properties abutting public
rights -of -way and ingress/egress easements (west and east property lines).
iii. Landscaping is not required along interior lot lines within a development where parking is being
shared per FWRC 19.125.040(27) (southern property line). A copy of the shared parking
agreement must be submitted with the formal Process III application.
(c) Parking Lot Landscaping —Twenty-two square feet of interior lot landscaping per parking stall is
required per FWRC 19.125.070(2)(a)(i)(B). Additional parking lot landscaping requirements are
contained within FWRC 19.125.070.
10. Tree Retention/Replacement Requirements — A tree and vegetation retention plan as required under FWRC
19.120.040(2) must be submitted with the Process III application. The tree and vegetation retention/
replacement plan must be prepared by a certified arborist or certified landscape architect. The standards
require each development to maintain a minimum tree unit density. Per FWRC 19.120.130(3), the total
number of tree units required to be provided by a regulated activity shall be calculated by multiplying gross
site acreage, minus any proposed public or private streets and regulated critical areas (excluding buffers)
determined by Federal Way to be undesirable for tree planting (e.g., certain wildlife habitat and wetlands),
by the required tree density (in tree units per acre) set forth in Table 19.120.130(1). The result of the
calculation will be the total number of tree units required for the activity. If the calculation results in a
fractional quantity, it shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number. As required under FWRC
19.120.130(2), the minimum tree density in BC zones is 20 tree units per acre. A tree unit is a value assigned
to existing trees retained on the property, or replacement trees. The larger the tree, the greater value it is
assigned. The formal landscape plan must detail information about tree unit credits and replacement.
11. Clearing & Grading — The applicant is required to obtain clearing and grading plan approval as a
component of the Process III approval. Consult FWRC 19.120.040(1) for items that are required to be
included on the plan, including the anticipated amounts of cut and fill. Clearing and grading plans are
reviewed and approved in conjunction with the land development permit associated with the proposed
development. Approval and notice to proceed shall be required prior to commencing clearing and
grading activities on the site. Reference FWRC 19.120.060(2).
12. Community Desigie Guidelines — Review of the proposal under the city"s design guidelines, Chapter 19.115
FWRC, is required for the project and will occur in conjunction with the use process review. The
principal applicable guidelines for the project are noted below. However, this does not necessarily include

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County Surface
Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the
time of land use site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the
relevance of the project to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required.
A Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The city has 1" = 100', five-
foot contour planimeteic maps in GIS format that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a conservation flow control area; thus, the applicant must design the flow control
facility to meet this performance criteria. In addition to flow control facilities, Best Management Practices
(BMP"s) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water
Quality Area. Water quality treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced
Basic Water Quality Menu.
3. In addition to the KCSWDM, our initial review suggests that FWRC 19.30.120, "Nonconforming Water
Quality Improvements," applies to this site. Specifically, the following items are applicable:
La. Redevelopment which involves the creation or addition of impervious surfaces having an
area of 5,000 square feet or more;
Lb. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or
other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the
expansion of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or more;
1.c. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
Ld. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or
stormwater runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more;
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing
pollution generating impervious surfaces. This will include both parcels owned by ❑[JinCo (4159200710
and 4159200725). Treatment options must be selected from the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu
provided in the KCSWDM.

be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
5. Detention and water quality facilities must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are
allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Public Works Department.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
7. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) construction stormwater permit may be required. Information regarding this permit
can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at 360-407-6048, or
htt is «n .wa. ov ro rams ,v stormw cons uction ind ..html.
Right -of -Way Improvements
1. See the Traffic Division comments from Senior Transportation Planning Engineer Sarady Long for
traffic related items.
2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the dedication
shall be conveyed to the city through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must have clear title
prior to recording.
3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements
within the public right-of-way.
Building (or EN) Permit Issues
1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be
reviewed and approved by the city. Engineering review fees are $3,096.00 for the first 12 hours of review,
and $172.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and
submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a
professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. To assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR, the Federal Way Public Works Development
Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is
available on the city's website at http://www.city—offederalway. index.aspx?nid=171.
Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures
associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the
improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible
legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the improvements,
and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original
amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
4. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During
that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's
20-100084-00-PC Doc ID: 80020
Mr. Chad Pollock

February 18, 2020
compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year
maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads and
subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the city. Maintenance for private roads
and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the
phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are noted.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be
drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.
7. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan.
8. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) measures, per Appendix D of the 2016 KCSWDM,
must be shown on the engineering plans.
9. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by construction.

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials for a 6,840 square foot supermarket, using the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 101h Edition, land use code 850 (Supermarket), the
proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 40 new weekday PM peak hour trips.
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform a
concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak
period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis
and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in
the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $5,086 (11 — 50 trips). This fee is an estimate
and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency application fee must
be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with the land use application.
The fee may change based on any changes in the estimated weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the
concurrency application. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer prepare
the concurrency analysis consistent with city procedures; however, the fee remains the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
1. Based on the submitted materials for a 6,840 square foot supermarket addition, the estimated traffic
impact fee is approximately $135,891. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the
fee schedule in effect at the time a completed building permit application is filed and paid prior to the
permit issuance (FWRC 19.100.070[3][al).

Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
Based on the available records and the submitted materials, it appears that this proposal meets the 25
percent threshold criteria for requiring street frontage improvements as identified in the FWRC
19.135.030. The applicant/owner may submit an appraisal for the subject property, or King County
Assessor's records may be used. The Public Works Development Services Division will evaluate the
submitted appraisal data to determine if the project actually meets the city's 25 percent threshold for
requiring street frontage improvements.
2. The applicant/owner will be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP) and Capital. Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on
the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements.
The applicant will be expected to construct improvements on the Following streets to the city's planned
roadway cross -sections:
SW Campus Drive is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "I" street, consisting of a 58-
foot street with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks,
and street lights in a 92-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, half
street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. SW Campus
Drive is improved with vertical curb gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, etc., on both sides of
the street. However, the improvements may not meet current standards.
First Avenue South is a Minor Arterial planned as a Type "C" street, consisting of a 72-
foot street with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks,
and street lights in a 106-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, up to an
11-foot right-of-way dedication and half street improvements may be required as
measured from the street centerline. First Avenue South is improved with vertical curb
gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, etc., on both sides of the street; however, the existing
improvements may not meet the current standard adopted section.
3. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the
required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). Information about right-of-way modification requests
is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests have
a review fee currently at $344.00.
4. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes; taper rate shall be WSA2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director.
5, The city would like to relocate the existing school flasher warning sign currently located on the northeast
corner of 1st Avenue South/WinCo Driveway in order to improve sign visibility. One potential option is
to relocate the sign to the southwest corner of 1st Avenue South/WinCo Driveway. An easement from
WinCo Food may be needed at the new location.
