DRAFT
Re:
Amendment to the King County Countywide Planning Policies
Dear Ms. Chan:
The Federal Way City Council at its August 14,2000, meeting reviewed the following proposed
amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs):
I. Motion 99-1 - An amendment to the CPPs to adjust targets for new housing units to reflect
annexations and incorporations from April 1994 through January 1998.
2. Substitute Motion 99-2 - An amendment to the CPPs to reassign new housing targets for
Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) and adoption of an armexation area map, along with
provisions requiring it to remain interim until all unincorporated urban areas are
included in city P AAs without gaps or overlaps regardless of whether cities have entered
into interlocal agreements to set armexation area boundaries.
3. Motion 99-4 - Replacement of the six-year development capacity work item with the
review and evaluation ("Buildable Lands") program that creates a role for the County in
addressing cities' growth targets.
The Council made the following motions:
I.
Do not accept Motion 99-1. The City Council has detennined that the housing targets assigned
to the City of Federal Way are too high, and therefore acceptance of additional targets at this
time is not acceptable. In addition, for the most part the areas recently annexed by Federal Way
are not residential and therefore the transfer of additio~ housing targets along with these
annexation areas is not appropriate. lo:,ð-~~ûJ'-~
Do not accept that portion of Substitute Motion 99-i which proposes to reassign new housing
targets for PAAs, based on the same reasoning as~¿tion 99-1. In addition, the Council
determined that it cannot accept Substitute Motion 99-2 unless language relating to Potential
Annexation Area boundaries is amended as follows:

".... The Interim P AA Map describes the areas receiving target allocations in
Table CPP Appendix 2B. This map is considered to be interim until.all
unincorporated urban areas are included in City PAAs without gaps ár overlaps~
except for those jurisdictions, which have entered into PAA Interlocab\greements
with all surrounding jurisdictions, in which case, the P AA boundaries shall be
considered final. Other than final PAA boundaries, this map may also be amended
to reflect other CPP policy direction."
3.
Do not accept Motion 99-4, an amendment to the CPPs to replace the six-year development
capacity work item with the review and evaluation ("Buildable Lands") program, unless the
following proposed amendment is incorporated into the motion:
Under Step 5b, "...lfthe results of this program are inconsistent with the
requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA), King County aRd its cítíes
each jurisdiction not achieving urban densities as demonstrated by the review and
evaluation program shall identify reasonable measures in accordance with.the
GMA, other than adjusting the Urban Growth areas, that are reasonablv likely to
increase consistencv that v'ill Be takeR to com!,!), with those requirements."
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bob Sterbank, Interim City
Attorney, at 253-661-4572.
Sincerely,
Mike Park, Mayor
City of Federal Way
