issue,
The issue of homeless shelters is part of a much larger
specifically,
zoning for a wide variety of special
needs housing.
Existing City regulations do not adequately
address any diversity in special needs housing.
The proposed
amendments will align the FWCC with the following objectives:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
B.
Define specific classifications and locations of group
homes in Federal Way;
Establish regulations that recognize individual
characteristics of various group homes, facilitating
proper siting of a range of critical and essential
housing resources in the City;
Establish regulations sufficient to evaluate a range of
group homes proposals and provide some predictability in
siting of such facilities; and
Establish regulations for particularly sensitive types of
group homes before such homes are proposed, i.e., social
service transitional housing, halfway houses and work
release programs under the criminal justice system.
During the public hearings, testimony from experienced
social service providers concluded that homeless shelters and
when operated by reputable agencies
transi tional housing,
under a strict professional management plan, are likely to be
compatible in single Family Residential Zones.
c.
During the public hearings, testimony from residents of
single family neighborhoods indicated that their concerns may
be addressed if the FWCC requires group homes to demonstrate
professional management, operation, and accountability, and if
all such proposals are subject to a public hearing.

During the public hearings, testimony from social service
their
neighborhood
residents,
clients,
and
generally supported the staff recommendation, and particularly
ORD # 9<1'ø2~.1

supported the conditional approval criteria, against which
each proposal will be evaluated.
Section 2.
Conclusions.
Pursuant to FWCC section 22-217 and
based upon the Findings set forth in Section 1, the Federal Way
City Council makes the following Conclusions of Law with respect to
the decisional criteria necessary for the adoption of the Proposal:
A.
The Proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
in that:
The
Proposal
is
supported
by
the
following
Federal
Way
Comprehensive Plan (".FWCP") Housing and Population Goals:
(FWCP pg. 7)
"Preserve the predominantly single-family
character and appearance of the community by establishing
population densities consistent with neighborhood and
city-wide objectives."
(FWCP pg. 7)
"Create a diverse population by encouraging
residential development with a mix of housing types at
affordable costs, particularly for senior citizens and
lower income families."
The Proposal is also supported by the following 1990 Growth
Management Act ("GMA") requirements:
"A housing element recognizing the vitality and character
of
established residential
neighborhoods
that: .
includes a statement of goals, policies, and objectives
for the preservation,
improvement, and development of
housing;
identifies
sufficient
land
for
housing,
ORD # '7t./-~
, PAGE 4
including,
but
not
limited
to
government-assisted
housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured
housing, multifamily housing, and group homes and foster
care
facilities,
and
makes
adequate
provisions
for
existing and projected needs of all economic segments of
the community."
The Proposal is also supported by the following County-Wide
Planning Policies on affordable housing:
(pg.
58)
"Each jurisdiction should apply strategies
which
it determines to be appropriate to the
local
housing market. "
. . . "Local actions many include. . (A)
Existing needs for affordable housing
(including)
"b
Revising land use regulations as needed to remove any
unreasonable requirements that may create barriers to
siting and operating housing for special needs groups.
Special needs housing serves persons, who, by virtue of
disability or other circumstances face difficulty living
independently
and
require
supportive
services
on
a
transitional or long-term basis;. . ."
B.
The Proposal bears a substantial relationship to the
public health, safety and welfare in that:
The Proposal addresses concerns for the public health,
safety, and welfare by establishing coherent regulations
that are consistent with state law and reflect a reasoned
balance
between
the
rights
of
individuals
and
the
community interest.
ORD # 9'¡-.;u...1
, PAGE 5
c.
The Proposal is in the best interests of the residents of
the city in that:
The
Proposal
responds
to
community
concerns
about
compatibility in the various types
of housing.
By
establishing comprehensive and concise regulations by
which to evaluate a variety of group homes, it provides
city staff with sufficient criteria by which to evaluate
proposals, and assists service providers in the process
of planning and siting such facilities.
