THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section l.
Findinqs.
The city Council of the City of
Federal Way makes the following findings with respect to these
amendments:
1.
An increase in the maximum floor space from 5,000 to
7,500 square feet is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan which requires restaurants to be at a scale that
serves a surrounding neighborhood of approximately 5,000
people.
2.
The increase of 2,500 square feet will not give rise
to adverse impacts on surrounding neighborhoods or on the
neighborhood center itself.
3.
The amendment would allow restaurants square footage
to be of a maximum size comparable with other similar
uses in the BN Zone,
such as retail establishments,
museums and art galleries.
section 2.
Conclusions.
Pursuant to Federal Way Zoning
Code 522-277 and based upon the Findings, the Federal Way City
council makes the following Conclusions of Law with respect to the
Decisional Criteria necessary for this amendment:
1.
The
proposed
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive Plan in that:

Plan describes the purpose and intent of the BN
Zone and allows for an increase in maximum floor

space for restaurants in the BN Zone, provided the
use is scaled to the neighborhood.
A maximum floor
space for restaurants of 7,500 square feet does not
appear out of sync with a. neighborhood scale of
development.
2.
The proposal bears a substantial relation to the
public health, safety and welfare in that:
An increase in the maximum floor space of 7,500
square
feet
for restaurants will
not adversely
impact neighbors in terms of increased noise or
traffic generation.
3.
The
proposal
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
residents of the City in that:
An increase in maximum floor space by 2,500 square
feet will create more flexibility for restaurants
to locate in neighborhood centers and serve local
residents.
This extends the range of alternatives
to
driving across
town to
the
City
Center
or
Pacific Highway;
thereby reducing congestion on
Pacific Highway and the city Center.
section 3.
Amendment.
Federal Way Zoning Code S22-723
is
amended
as
set
out
in
Exhibit
A,
attached
hereto
and
incorporated by reference, to increase the maximum gross floor area
for restaurants in a BN Zone from 5,000 square feet to 7,500 square
feet.
