Committee regarding the proposed amendment to the City Criminal Code, Chapter Six and the final draft outlining the
ordinance amendment with attached map of SOAP area.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Pursuant to the Federal Way City Council Ordinance, the Public Safety Department is

crimes of prostitution typically repeated in such areas. The ordinance will be effective September 10, 2000.
After the first reading of the ordinance at the September 5, 2000, City Council Meeting, Interim City Attorney Robert
Sterbank recommended additional clarification as follows: The ordinance contains clarification by the Law Department to
delineate the SOAP area in Section 6-246(d)(1). Accordingly, the one thousand feet is measured from the edge of the right-of
way on either side of State Route 99 and includes the entire high way. Additionally, a map indicating the SOAP area is
attached as exhibit A to the ordinance and a copy of the map is on file in the City Clerk's office.
The adoption of this amendment is in the best interest of the City of Federal Way, the Public Safety Department, Law
Department, Municipal Court, and the Federal Way Citizens.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 15, 2000
TO: Finance / Economic Development / Regional Affairs Committee
VIA: David Mo~~{~ager
FROM: Derek Matheson, Assistant to the City Man
SUBJECT: 2001 Legislative Agenda and Position Paper
Background:
Attached is the city's draft 2001 Legislative Agenda and Position Paper, as revised by staffto
address current issues such as Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) permanent replacement,
design-build procedures, local court reform, probation liability, and protection of grant funds. All
revisions are shown in strikeout and underline.
Staff is presenting the document to all City Council Committees for feedback and will forward it,
along with committee amendments, to the full City Council on September 19.
Sections of this document specifically pertaining to the Finance / Economic Development /
Regional Affairs Committee include General Policy, General Local Government, Finance and
Economic Development, and Personnel and Labor Relations.
The ten items marked with an asterisk (*) are potential items of emphasis for the legislative
session, which can be highlighted in the city's lobbying efforts and in meetings with legislators.
LUTC and PRHSPS Review:
The Land Use and Transportation Committee and Parks / Recreation / Human Services / Public
Safety Committee reviewed the document on August 7. LUTC members requested that language
be added calling for a review of the buildable lands / housing targets program, including a call for
objective criteria for assigning housing targets. PRI-ISPS members requested that language on
affordable housing specify the need for ongoing and capital funding, as well funding for other
support services.
Staff is proposing the following amendments to address those comments:
(*) Housing Targets/Buildable Lands
Federal Way supports a thorough legislative review of the process for allocating housing
targets to counties and cities, as well as the establishment of objective criteria for allocating
housing targets that include market conditions, density, infrastructure, and neighborhood
character. Federal Way strongly opposes legislation that breaks OMA twenty-year housing
targets into smaller time intervals, i.e., annual targets, as well as legislation that holds cities
responsible for housing market performance rather than the content of their comprehensive
plans. The city also opposes the imposition of additional reporting requirements under the
buildable lands review and evaluation program that are not accompanied by requisite funding.
Amended 9/00
Affordable Housing
Federal Way supports legislation to identify a dedicated capital and ongoing funding source
for affordable housing that is acceptable to developers, realtors, and state and local
government. Such funding should be integrated into the larger social services system that
supports families living in affordable housing.
Committee Recommendation:
Direct the City Manager to incorporate the above language from the LUTC and PRHSPS review
process - as well as comments from FEDRAC - into the draft 2001 Legislative Agenda and
Position Paper, and place the item before the City Council at its September 19 meeting.

City of Federal Way
Legislative Agenda and Position Paper
20001 Legislative Session
General Policy
The City of Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to establish broad, cost-effectve policies for local government
structure, financing, and se~ce delivery systems; combined with adequate flexibility for local governments to adapt their
structures, finances, and se~ce delivery systems to unique local conditions. These efforts must be focused on
eliminating duplicate services and prese~ng local control over se~ce delivery. The City also supports legisia'don ;~..~.~h I
that enhances local fle)dbility to address issues of local concern. The City opposes legislation which mandates increased
I
local costs or which results in an inappropriate diminution of local authority over local affairs.
General Local Government
Home Rule
The City of Federal Way strongly supports the adoption of a constitutional home rule amendment
guarantee decision-making authority for local matters at the local level. The City also urges the Legislature to rein from
enactng legislation that adversely impacts the concept of local self-government or restricts the ability of cities and towns
to exercise existing power.
Mandates
All local governments have been impacted by the elimination and reduction of various federal domestic aid programs.
Changes at the state level have also affected local government revenue oprdons. Equally important are the growing
number of mandates passed from the federal and state governments to local governments; mandates :; .~,~h that aredo
not have accompaniedvim3 by-additer~resources. Delivering public services requires a strong state-local partnership,
and local revenue needs must be recognized when new programs are enacted or if the state revenue system is
restructured.
As directed by Initiative 62 (RCW 43.135.060), Federal Way strongly urges the Legislature to cease imposition of
additonal financial or operating burdens on cites unless such mandates are ccmF. c!!c~ b7

Public Records
Federal Way firmly supports the right of the public to have access to the records and operations of local government.
The City supports legislation to define the calculation of cost recovery fees for records retrieval from municipal elec~onic
information systems.
Interlocal A~lreements
Federal Way supports eliminatin~l the requirement that interlocal a~lreements be filed with county auditors. A_(]reements
are already recorded with all si;Inatory ;Iovernments and can be obtained via a public records request.
Adopted 9/00
Advisory Boards
Federal Way supports clarifying the ability of city council-appointed advisory beards to analyze the impacts of ballot
propositions and make recommendations to city councils. Although city councils are allowed to take positions on ballot
propositons, the advisory boards upon which they frequently rely for analysis and advice appear to be inadvertently
preempted from providing analysis and advice in these matters.

Electronic Commerce
Federal Way supports -~ff.c?-~'egisiation to develop a taxation system for electronic commerce that ensures a level
Haying field for electronic and non-electronic businesses.
Adopted 9/99
State Tax Roll Back/Expenditure Limitation Efforts
Federal Way receives significant support from state-collected, locally-shared revenues. As such, the City opposes
efferts-legielation tethat alters__ state fiscal operations unless they enhance City reseivesrevenues.
Sales Tax Non-Remittance Penalties
The City supports allocating sales tax non-remittance penalties to all affected jurisdictions using the same
proportional allocation system that is used for distribution of regular sales tax collections.
Adopted 9/99
Criminal Justice Funding Allocations
Federal Way supports eliminating the requirement that cities submit a grant application in order to receive Gener~
Fund Municipal Criminal Justice Account allocations. The significant reduction in the allocation, caused by Initiative
695, has further reduced the cost-benefit of the application process.
In addition, the City supports eliminating the separate allocation to cilies that contract for a majority of their law
enforcement, as every city must fund law enforcement reqardless whether the services are provided in-house or by
contract
Adopted 9/00
Continuation of Grant Programs
Federal Way opposes any erosion in its financing sources and strongly encourages the Legislature to maintain
Criminal Justice Funding and other grant programs ::~!ch that support local program operalJon.
Loca/ F/nance
Sales Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction
Labor costs for the construction of road, street, and trails projects are currently exempt from state and local option
sales taxes. Federal Way supports extending this exemption to all public capital improvement projects.
Amended 9/00
Voted Excess Levy for Capital Improvement Bonds
Municipal~es should be authorized to seek voter approval for an excess property tax levy to fund capital facilities
projects. The levy could be used for projects on a pay as you go basis or for debt service on bonds. The levywould
not be tied to one project, but could be used to realize any of the projects in the adopted facilities plan. The bonds
would be unlimited general obligations of the City. Voter approval would be by simple majority. Benefits of this
option include the development of a comprehensive community tax policy to deal with its infrastructure needs using
a multi-year business plan approach.
Voter Registration Maintenance Costs
State law presenUy allows counties to charge cities to maintain voter registration records. This law, passed in 1987,
when the counties took over voter registration from the cities, did not include a sunset provision to eliminate the
charge when the transition was complete. Furthermore, these charges are not uniform, ranging from $.22 to $1.55
per voter. State law does sat a $.30 maximum charge for smaller cities, but does not specify a charge for larger
cities. King County collects over $1 million in voter maintenance fees each year, which should more than cover the
cost of minor data enby changes. Federal Way supports legislative changes ::.~.~ch.+.o_.';='.'~ standardize this charge
in a manner :-~..!c.. that accurately reflects the cost of maintaining voter records.
Econom/c Deve/opment
Economic Development Funding Sources and Incentives
Federal Way supports new funding sources for local economic development, accompanied by significant latitude in
the use of funds and incentives, -to --J'lc:': help cities to meet diverse local economic development needs.
Amended 9/00
Tax Increment Financing
Tax increment financing allows cities to pay for the infrasb'ucture costs related to development or redevelopment
projects by earmarking the tax revenues attributable to the increase in tax receipts over current receipts in the
apportionment district. The tax increment would be dedicated to paying the debt service on the bends issued. After
the bonds have been retired, the tax increment would be distributed in the same manner as other non-increment
property taxes. The overriding benefit of tax increment financing districts would be to facilitate quality and
comprehensive development, and redevelopment of our community. Federal Way thus supports =ftc..~=!e.qislation
to amend the state constitution as neceasary to accomplish a tax increment financing program.
Economic Development Partnerships
Federal Way supports government partnerships with the private sector for the purposes of promoting quality
governmental services and economic vitality.
Personnel and Labor Relations
Civil Service Reform
Federal Way supports civil sewice reform for police officers that allows cities to streamline hiring processes, diversify
workforces, and recruit, retain, terminate and reward employees.
Police and Fire Arbitration
Federal Way supports legislation that would mandate that arbitrators in binding interest arbitration with police and fire
personnel te consider the following factors in making an award: a) the city'.s financial ability to meat the costs of the
contract, giving due consideration and weight to other competing city services and priorities as determined by the City
Council; b) local labor market conditions, c) internal equity with other city employees, and d) efforts by new organizations
to move away from traditional methods of compensation in favor of innovative compensation strategies (such as
incentive pay).
The City also supports le~_h_'on to amend interest arbitration statutes and mandate final offer arbitration.
Amended 9/00
Limit Liability for Reference Checks
The City supports legisla'don that would provide local governments with immunity from civil liability for disclosing
information about an employee'.s job performance during a reference check.
Prevailing Wage
The City of Federal Way supports legislation to clarify that maintenance activities performed by contract, like those
performed by regular employees, are exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Current law creates a disincen~e for
the use of contrac'dng by local government entYdas.
Land Use and Community Development
Special Purpose Distrfcts
~_)_Assumption of Special Purpose Districts
The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the
Growth Management ACt, which states that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these areas.
The City therefore supports continued legisla~__n =ffc.'~- ~.o simplify and clarify the circumstances under which a
city may dissolve and assume the functions of a special purpose district, and opposes any =ffc?'-*.c!egielation that
diminishes that authority of cities g-especially within city limits and potential annexation areas.
Amended 9/99
Capital Facilities Planning
Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to
prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and counties.
Growth Manaqement
Growth Management Act
Federal Way endorses the Growth Management ACt (GMA) as an essential and responsible planning tool.
However, the ACt creates challenges for the state, county and cities. To meet these challenges, the Legislature
must continue to monitor the efforts of local agencies, and address any necessary additional refinements to the ACt
in an effective and timely manner..Such refinements may include clarification of the role and responsi~lifles, of.the,
state and regional governments in developing policies and capital plans in conformance with Ioca~ aaop~ea
comprehensive plans, assuring the adequacy of funding sources to provide adequate infrastructure, urban services,
housing and employment opportunities within urban growth areas. The Legislature must also act to provide and
maintain sufficient time, technical and financial resources to cities completing growth management planning.
Amended 9/00
Land Use Decisions and Permitting
Federal Way supports legislation that further defines, coordinates, simplifies and streamlines land use decisions and
permitting under the GMA as well as under the State Environmental Policy Act and the Shorelines Management
Act Such legislation should balance the benefits of statewide uniformity with the need for local communities to
govern themselves.
(*)Housing TargetslBuildabie Lands
Federal Way supports a thorough legislative review of the process for allocating housing tar~lets to counties and
cities, as well as the establishment of objective criteria for allocating and/or adius'dn~l housing taraets that inciudA
..m..a_.r.k...et_c_o_.nd_~g.n_s, dep_~sity,:i0_fL~._~_~cture, and nelc3_h_b~_rhood character.
Federal Way strongly opposes effe~ts-teleglslation that breaks GMA twenty-year housing targets into smaller time
intervals, i.e., annual tarriers, as well as effe~ts-telegislation that hold~_ cities responsible for housing market
performance rather than the content of their comprehensive plans. The City also opposes the imposition of
additional reporting requirements under the bulidable lands review and evaluation program that ara not
accompanied by requisite funding.
~mended 9/00
Growth Management Hearings Boards
Federal Way supports legislation recognizing the need for local flexibir~y in effectively implementing the GMA and
requiring Growth Management Hearings Boards to defer to local decisions, policies and processes implementing
the goals of the GMA when these actions are otherwise consistent with the GMA.
Boundary Review Boards
The City supports elimination of Boundary Review Boards. These non-elected boards have been rendered
obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (PAA) planning under the GMA.
Shorelines Management Act
The City supports continued effeFts~eglslafion to integrate shoreline management planning into local
comprehensive plans and eliminate the requirement for separate shoreline master plans. Separate state-level
shoreline use permits should also be eliminated in favor of permits issued by cities in accordance with approved
plans.
Amended 9/99
(*) GMA Impact Fees
Federal Way supports continued local authority to collect GMA-based impact fees at the time a subdivision is
approved or building permit is issued.
Adopted 9/99
Technical Amendments to Comprehensive Plans
Federal Way supports legislation authorizing GMA-planning cities to adopt technical amendments to their GMA
plans and ragulations mora than once a year.
Annexation Law
Federal Way supports currant state law regarding annexations. The City also supports retention of city authorityto
review the impacts of an annexation on the overall operation of the City and to make the final determination
regarding acceptance of petitions for annexation. The City supports legislation that would reduce boundary
adjustment raquiraments, clarify franchise relationships between trash and garbage haulers, expedite transfer of
property tax from the County to the City, and provide direction for land use and permitting functions in newly
annexed areas.
Building Code Council Jurisdiction
Federal Way supports continued State Building Codes Council jurisdiction over the Uniform Building Code, Plumbing
Code, Mechanical Code, Fire Code, and other state codes now under its jurisdiction.
Adopted 9/99
Land Use Dispute Resolution
Federal Way supports practical solutions to private property cr~putes that address specific concerns of property owners,
including regulatory reform if necessary. These solutions should not alter the Constitutional definition oftaldngs, place an
undue financial burden on taxpayers, or diminish local governments', ability to protect the public health, safety and
welfare of their communities.
Forest Permits
The Department of Natural Resources is presently authorized to issue Class II and Class III Forest Practice Permits,
which allow logging without review by municipal authorities within urbanized areas contained within city limits or
designated urban growth boundaries. Class IV permits, however, do require municipal authority review. The pest
practice of issuing these permits hes precluded city governments from providing appropriate controls to deal with the
erosion and sedimentation in those permitted arees. As well, the uncontrolled logging of parcels within an urban area
hes precluded local government from providing regulations to help ensure that the property properly transitions into
appropriate urban development.
Therefore, Federal Way supports state legisia~:= =ff..c.'~- tc on that require~_ that all Forest Practice Permits issued wilhin
the city limits or within the designated urban growth boundary be subject to the same local government review process
now provided in the consideration and issuance of Class IV Forest Practice Permits. Alternatively, cities should be
allowed to adopt and enforce land clearing, significant tree protection and related issues for Class II and III forest permits.
Social and Human Services
Support for Human Services
Federal Way supports legislative action that will maintain support for human sewice programs including those whic~that
may be delegated to the state from the Federal Government. Such legislative action should ensure appropriate local
government input into development of block grant dispersal regulations or procedures and into development of any new
processes to assist or support Iow-income, high-need populations.
Affordable Housing
Federal Way supports cff. c..-~Je.qislafion to identify a dedicated c._a.p__~La.0.d_.o...n.g.o.j..n.g.funding source for affordable housing
'::h!ch that is acceptable to developers, realtors, and state and local government. Such funding should be integrated into
the larger social services system that supports families living in affordable housing.
Amended 9/00

Federal Way supports local government representation on County boards of public health.
Youth Issues
Funding of Youth Programs

services, especially programs that achieve reductions in youth violence.
Child Care
Federal Way supports budget provisions to enhance the Department of Social and Health Services'. (DSHS) abiity
to enforce its day care licensing requirements, to improve support services for daycare providers, and to ensure the
accessibility to child care for all citizens. In addition, the City will carefully monitor legislation clarifying its role in
regulating the siting and operation of daycare facilities.

Federal Way strongly supports any ~'~f..c?'- t~e;iislation that make~_ the commercial lquor icense and house-banked
card room license application processes more accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve
access by the community and would encourage greater input and comment from all interested parties. In addition,
license applications should be made available for public inspect]on and subsequent written comment at the local
government level.
Amended 9/99
Liquor Control Board Review and Restructuring
The state should conduct a performance evaluation and/or audit of the liquor control board as it relates to its
mission of regulating liquor for the sake of our sta~e~;sstate's communities. The Legislature should
restructure/reaffirm Liquor Control Board as mandated by the evaluation and/or audit.
Adult Entertainment
The City supports model ordinance legislation for adult entertainment consistent with the provisions of Federal
Way='-'~Way'.s. adult entertainment ordinance which have been sustained through numerous court appeals.
Adult Retail
Federal Way supports authorizing local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult retail
establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for location and hours of operation.
Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value,
diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values.
Law Enforcement Issues
Local Law Enforcement Authority
Federal Way opposes legisla§on and/or other efforts to remove the authority of municipalities to provide local law
enforcement services, including special services, regardless of the potential for service contracting. The City also
opposes actions or legislation ::.~.~ch*.hat would transfer incarceration responsibilities from the state or county to
municipalities without additional funding.
Police Officer Jurisdiction
Federal Way suppods efferislegislation to allow police officers to enforce the state's laws anywhere in the state. This
would reduce the liability for cities with officers who assist with incidents outside the city'.s bordem. As It stands now,
jurisdictions must exchange letters giving consent to officers to enforce law outside of their jurisdictions.
Amended 9/99
Public Safety Personnel Privacy
Federal Way supports cff..c?'~egislafion to protect the iden~es of public safety personnel by eliminating public
disclosure requirements for names and addresses, allowing private enffiies such as credit agencies to withhold
names and addresses without prior consent of the individual, and allowing such individuals to register personal
vehicles at their places of employment.

chronic, misdemeanor behavior for juvenile offendem and to permit the court greater discre~on to impose detsn~on
or some form of secure treatment in cases of juvenile offenders who have prior criminal history.
Emergency Communications
Federal Way opposes the creaton ofaan E-311 non-emergency communicatons system. Rather, e~orts should be I
made to further educate the community about the use of the e~sting E-911 system and ex~ng 7-digit non-emergency
lines.
Empty Chair Defense
Federal Way supports legisiatve action related to tort reform to cla~y that the defendant should not be required to
mandatorily join all potential "at fault" en~es into li~gaton, or have to risk losing the ability to appo~on fault to the third
party(a). Any move to the contrary would inappropriately shift the burden of proof from the plaintiff to the defendant in
proving fault.
Public Works, Parks, and Environment
Transz3ortat/on Issues
(*)Transportation Funding Reform
Federal Way supports continued reform of state funding for transport~on to include a broad range of funding
solutions able to address traffic congestion, growth and High Capacity Transit alternatves. Such reform should
seek funding sources, which will be dedicated to major local transportation projects, keep up with infiaton, and
provide the-~yc~es with local option revenue authority for the expansion, maintenance and oper~on of local
transportaton systems.
(*} Deslun-BuiM Authority
Federal Way suppo~ reauthodzation of the deal;In-build and .qeneral contractor / constru~on mana;ler (GC/CM)
procedures for major capital projects, and supports reducin;] the population and proiect value thresholds to 50,000
and ~5 million, respectively.
Adopted 9/00
Public Works Project Definition
The City supports defining small public works projects as those costing less than $100,000 and exempting such
projects from the state'.s Public Works Projects definition. The current definition of small public works projects is
easily confused and is applied inconsistenth/across different local jurisdictions.
Public Works Trust Fund
The Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) benefits many local governments with dependable, long term funding for
repair and reconstruction of local public works systems. The Legislature is now required to approve an annual ict of
projects, but has never deleted a project recommended by the Public Works Board. Federal Way supports
continued allecaton of funds to the PW'I'F and supports aliminaton of the Legisia~ve approval requirement.
Expediting the approval process would facilitate the construction of these projects by the summer constru~on
season. Federal Way opposes attempts to divert PWTF funds and other local capital fundin,q sources to proiects
not selected throu;Ih the compet~e application process.

Water Resource Management
Addressing water resource management issues will require increased intergovernmental coordinalion among local
and regional governments and the state. Federal Way supports continued state financial assistance for water
supply, wastewater management, groundwater protection, and storm and surface water facilities and programs.
These programs are especially important in complying with state and federal water qual~ standards (NPDES,
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System). The City also supports reten§on of the authority of local water
districts to manage their assets, parlicipating in regional planning as appropriate, to provide and protect for the
current and future water needs of their customers.
Flood Damage Reduction
Federal Way contains a number of flood prone areas, both developed and undeveloped which require specialized
planning. Recent proposed flood damage reduction legislation was flawed, parlially due to the fact that is was based
on an overall floodway approach, which does not consider all flood prone areas in the state. The City supports
comprehensive flood damage prevention planning accomplished at the local level as a part~e~hip among impacted
cities, the county, state and affected area interests. Each flood prone area is unique and should be planned for
accordingly. Locally developed and adopted flood damage protection plans must seek to establish a balance
between the need for appropriately designed growth and the need to reduce further flood damage.
Parks and Open Space
Federal Way encourages =ff..c.'~egislation to secure state support for parks and open space projects as outlined in local
plans. This support should include legislation to exempt public park and public cultural arts facility construction from
state and local option sales taxes.

Electric Industry Regulation
Federal Way supports energy utility regulation based on the following principles: a) Local governments should retain the
authority to manage industry facil~es within the public right of way and the authority to tax the utility providers, b)
Electricity service should be available to customers at prices that are reasonable and affordable, c) A non-economic
bypass and the inappropriate shifting of costs of the electric system between or among customers do not constitute fair
and efficient competition. Customers of continuing monopoly sewice should benefit, at least, not be harmed, from
choices made by customers with access to competitive options, d) The long-term safety, integrity, relial:~ity and quality of
the bulk electric system and retail electricity service should not be jeopardized, e) Consumers should be afforded a
broad range of choice in electricity service and pricing options, f) Development of competitive electricity markets should
9
not undermine environmental protection, energy efficiency, resoume diversity and technological innovation, and g) the
public should maintain a voice in the indusby'.s regulatory process and the interests of customers should conl~nue to be
balanced with the opportunity for shareholders to earn fair returns.
Tax Collections by Out-of-State Providers
State law should require out-of-state electricity providers to collect state and local ul~lity taxes on sewices provided to
customers within the State of Washington.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Based on previous Council direction, the Community Development Services
Department is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA) in the
Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations Map, and Zoning Map. The intent of the planning process
is to allow the City to make informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA. As part of this
evaluation process, Madrona Planning and Development Services was contracted to perform preliminary research
and to develop a scope of work and cost estimate to plan and zone the PAA. This preliminary research, scope of
work, and cost estimate is the Phase One PAA Study. If authorized by the City Council, implementation of the
scope of work and PAA planning process and the preparation of a PAA Sub-Area Plan will be the Phase Two PAA
Study. The Draft Phase One PAA Study includes the research performed and the issues identified, and presents the
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The LUTC discussed results of the Draft Phase
One PAA Study and the proposed Phase Two PAA planning process, scope of work, and cost estimate during a
public meeting on August 7, 2000. At the August 7, 2000 meeting, the LUTC made a unanimous motion to forward
the Draft Phase One PAA Study to the full Council for acceptance and approval on September 19, 2000.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: On November 23, 1999, the counties of King, Pierce and Snohomish
submitted a joint application for the Commute Trip Reduction/Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CTR/CMAQ)
federal grant through the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), in part to offset a funding
shortfall for the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with King County Metro to implement the CTR Act on

SUBJECT: 2000 Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) Grant Acceptance
BACKGROUND
Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law was adopted by the 1991 legislature and
incorporated into the Washington Clean Air Act as RCW 70.94.527. The intent is to improve air
quality, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce traffic congestion through employer-based programs
by encouraging the use of alternatives to single occupant vehicles (SOV) for the commute trip.
The law requires that all major employers, both public and private, who employ one hundred (100)
or more full-time employees who are scheduled to arrive at a single work site between 6:00 a.m.
and 9:00 a.m. to develop and implement a Commute Trip Reduction Plan. There are currently 14
employers within the City of Federal Way who are affected by the CTR Law.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
In order to comply with the state CTR Law and to ensure consistency and fairness in its
administration, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with King County
Metro to implement the CTR Act on behalf of the City of Federal Way.
Over the last four years the PSA with King County Metro has been fully funded by the state CTR
grant. However, due to an increase in affected worksites statewide with no additional state funding,
the state CTR allocation was reduced by approximately 24% on a per site basis. Based on the 14
currently affected worksites, the City received a total allocation of $23,328 for the year 2000 and
will receive an estimated $26,400 in 2001 for 17 affected worksites. The state allocation alone will
not be sufficient to fully fund the PSA with King County Metro. Table 1, below, depicts the dollar
amounts of the state CTR grant allocation and the PSA with King County Metro from 1997 through
2000. '~ :.

CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY FEDERAL GRANT
On November 23, 1999, the counties of King, Pierce and Snohomish submitted a joint application
for the CTR/Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) federal grant through the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), in part to offset the funding shortfall. The Puget
Sound Regional Planning Council (PSRC) Executive Board and WSDOT have approved the
application.
The City would receive an estimated CMAQ grant allocation of $17,121.27. The City would need
to provide approximately $2,672.04 from the year 2000 state CTR grant allocation to be used as
local matching funds for a total of $19,793.31. WSDOT has allocated approximately $8,952 of this
amount to offset the funding shortfall remaining for the 2000 PSA with King County Metro, and for
the shortfall in the anticipated 2001 PSA. The remaining amount of $10,841 would be reserved for
other CTR enhancement programs for all affected work sites in Federal Way. See attached Exhibit
1 - Scope of Work for more detail.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends placing the following item on the September 19, 2000 Council Consent Agenda:
Authorize the City Manager to accept the $17,121.27 CMAQ grant from the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to be used to offset the funding shortfall for
the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with King County Metro and for Commute Trip

At the hearing the following exhibits were admitted as part of the official record of these
proceedings:
1. Staff Report with all attachments
2. Amendment to Staff Recommendation #1
3. Letter from Michael Knapp to Examiner dated July 18, 2000
1. The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into
the record, and taken this matter under advisement.
2. The Communibj Development Staff Report sets forth general findings, applicable
policies and provisions in this matter and is hereby marke'd as Exhibit "1" and
inc°rPorated in its entirety by this reference.
3, All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
4. The applicant has a possessory ownership Interest in two adjoining, basically
rectangular shaped parcels of property consisting of 8.53 acres abutting the east
side of Military Road South within the City of Federal Way. The parcels are
prese.ntly improved with an abandoned single family residential dwelling, two small
detached sheds, and fencing. The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to
allow removal of existing improvements and subdivision of the site into 48 single
family residential lots. The south property line abuts S. 298"' St., the west leg of
which the applicant will relocate to eliminate its off-set intersection with Military
Road, Proposed lots 47 and 48 are contingent upon the City Councll's vacation of
the present 298th St. right-of-way following relocation, and an agreement with the
abutting property owner to the south.
5. The site is within the northeast portion of the City at the northeast corner of the
intersection of Military Road South and S. 298'h St. and approximately 125 feet west
of Interstate - 5.
6. The plat map shows a looped plat road system with one access near the northwest
corner onto Military Road South and a second access extending north from S. 298~
St. near the east property line. A .55 acre storm drainage tract is located at the
northeast corner of the site. South 298t~ St. presently extends east from Military
Road South at an approximate 100 foot offset to the south from 298'~ on the west
side of Military Road. The plat map shows that the applicant will align the east leg
with the west leg, and that the west leg will return to its present right-of, way
approximately 450 feet east of Military Road. Thus, parcels to the east using S.
298"' St, for access will not be Impacted.
7. The site is located within the RS-5.0 zone classification which authorizes single
family residential dwellings on minimum lot sizes of 5,000 square feet, and which
requires front yard setbacks of 20 feet and side and rear yard setbacks of five feet.
The plat shows a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, a maximum lot size of
7,565 square feet, and that all required setbacks can be met.
8. The parcel abutting the north property linels within the RM-3,600 Multi-Family zone
classification and improved with a mobile home park. The abutting parcel to the east
is located withln the RS-5.0 zone classification and improved with the Steel Lake
Grange. Parcels to the south and southwest are within the RS-g.6 and RS-7.2 zone
classifications ahd Improved with single family residential dwellings. Parcels to the
north and northwest are within the RS~9.6 and RS-5.0 zone classlficattons and also
improved with single family residential dwellings. The proposal for a single family
residential subdivision on 5,000 square foot minimum lot sizes conforms with the
zoning and is compatible wlth existing and future uses In the area as contemplated
by the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and the Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
9. Most of the site has significant grade changes which will necessitate substantial
grading. Slopes range between 5% and 10% with the exception of a 100% slope
located eight to 15 feet north of the north property line. This slope ranges from 12
to 32 feet tn height and was artificially created by grading for the mobile home park.
The applicant commissioned a geotechnical engineering study by Earth Consultants
which was submitted March 16, 2000. The study determined that the slope is stable
in its present condition and configuration and consists of very dense glacial till soils.
Site preparation will include grading 75% of the parcel and constructing retaining
walls varying between two and six feet In height along Military Road. Conditions of
approval require a supplemental geotechnical analysis to review final design
specifications, observe land surface modification activities, verify subsurface
conditions, monitor construction activities, and ensure compliance with the
recommendations contained in the present geotechnical report.
10. On-site vegetation consists of domestic shrubs and grasses with a variety of
deciduous and evergreen trees. Approximately 50% of the existing significant trees
outside of proposed rights-of-way and the storm water detention pond tract will be
eliminated, and the applicant proposes replacement trees along the western and
northern perimeters. A condition of approval requires a final landscape plan which
will meet the requirements of the significant tree ordinance.
11. The site supports no threatened or endangered plant or a~imal specifies, but is likely
limited to small birds and animals. Retention of trees and vegetation where possible
and installation of landscaping will help mitigate the loss of habitat. No wetlands or
streams are located on the site and the only critical area is the steep slope eight to
15 feet off-site to the north.
12. The applicant has designed the plat to provide internal pedestrian circulation.
Improvements will ensure safe access by school aged children to both Internal and
adjacent school bus stops. The plat map shows a mid block, non-motorized,
3
pedestrian/bicycle pathway between a cul-de-sac in the west-central portion of the
site and the mid point of the internal plat road extending north from S. 298~h St. The
path will have a paved width of 12 feet and be located within a 20 foot wide tract.
Design requirements include pedestrian scale lighting and no sight obscurlng
fencing or landscaping on abutting lots.
13. The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscape plan which shows street trees
in planter strips along the east side of Military Road, both sides of S. 298'~ St., both
sides of internal plat roads, and withln the cul-de-sac. The applicant will also provide
a minimum ten foot wide Type III landscape strip along Military Road in a separate
tract to be maintained and Owned by homeowners. The storm detention tract must
also be screened from adjacent streets and residences. The significant tree
replacement plan will also be reviewed and approved wlth the landscape plan.
Conditions of approval require a final landscape plan depicting all required
landscaping elements.
14. The City Subdivision Code requires the applicant to provide open space in the
amount of 15% of the gross land area of the parcels, or as an option (which the
applicant has requested), the applicant may pay a fee in lleu of providing the on-site
open space. The Parks Director has accepted the fee as requested.
15, Right-of-way improvements to Military Road will Include pavement widening, tapers,
curb and gutter, street trees in a planter strip, streetlights, an eight feet wide
sidewalk, and a utility stdp all constructed within the right-of-way width of 39 feet as
measured from the centerline. The applicant will also construct a southbound left
turn lane in Military Road with a storage length of 50 feet at the 298th/Military Road
Intersection. As previously found, the applicant will also correct the existing
hazardous offset Intersection. The applicant will overlay existing concrete over the
full width of Military Road for the length of the project frontage including tapers to
ensure a safe and consistent road section. Improvements to S. 298~ St. and internal
plat roads will include a 32 foot pavement width, five foot wlde sidewalks, four foot
wlde planter strip, and streetlights within a 56 foot wide right-of-way.
16. The Federal Way School District will bus elementary and Junior high school students
from bus stops within the proposed subdivision and high school students from a bus
stop on Military Road Just outside the plat, The sidewalk system will provide safe
routes for students walking to bus stops. The applicant must also comply with the
City School Impact Fee Ordinance and make a per lot payment to offset the impacts
on the district of school aged children residing withln the plat.
17. The applicant will pay an optional fee in lieu of providing an on-site recreational
open space which the City will utilize to improve recreational opportunities within the
planntng area of the site. Steel Lake Park is located approximately one mile
southwest of the site.
18. Lake Haven Utility District will provide sanitary sewers, domestic water, and fire flow
to the site.
19, Abutting property owners raised concerns regarding the impact of storm water
runoff. The applicant must design and construct storm drainage facilities in
accordance with the requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Destgn
Manual and the Clty's amendments thereto. The storm water plans propose to
collect and convey storm water to a combination water quality/detention pond at the
northwest comer of the site. The pond will then discharge storm water at a metered
rate to the existing City drainage ditch on Military Road. The applicant's grading
plan will assure that all storm water is directed to the storm drainage pond, with the
exception of the runoff from the S. 298~ St. pavement near the southeast corner of
the site which will continue to flow to the ditch along Interstate-5.
20. Prior to obtaining preliminary plat approval the applicant must establish that the
request satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 20-12(~(c) FWCC. Findings on each
criteria are hereby made as follows:
A. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan adopted December, 1998, which designates the
property as Single Family. High Density. Developing the site with minimum
5,000 square foot lot sizes is consistent with density allowances and policies.
B. The preliminary plat complies with all applicable provisions' of.the FWCC
including those adopted by reference'. The plat must comply with all FWCC
provisions to include those set forth in Chapter 18, Environmental Policy;
Chapter 20, Subdivisions; and Chapter 22, Zoning,

plat avoids congestion and promotes safe and convenient travel on City
streets by providing significant street improvements along Military Road to
include a left turn lane and alignment of the east and west legs of S. 298·
Street. Adequate air and light are addressed by meeting all setbacks, and
water and sewage will be provided by the Lake Haven Utility District.
E. The project complies with FWCC Sections 20-151 through 20-157 which set
forth subdivision design standards, and Sections 20-178 through 20-187
5
FWCC which set forth requlred infrastructure improvements to include water,

I. GENERAL INFORMATION
a. Description of proposal
The applicant proposes to subdivide two existing parcels of land into 48 lots, with
associated fight-of-way improvements, storm drainage facilities, utilities, and landscaping
(Exhibit A). The proposed lots will have a minimum 5,000 square feet, consistent with site
zoning. Access to the plat is proposed from Military Road South and South 298u~ Streets.
A portion of South 298th Street is proposed to be relocated to align with the westerly leg of
the existing intersection with Military Road South. Lots #47 and 48 are contingent on an
approved right-of-way vacation and agreement with the property owner to the south. This
requirement is addressed as Condition # 1 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
The site is undeveloped except for an existing abandoned dwelling, two small detached
sheds, fencing, and rockery. All existing structures and improvements are proposed to be
demolished with plat construction. One of the two sheds is located on a proposed property
line. If any structures will remain on the site, all applicable building and zoning
nonconformances must be addressed, including setbacks from property lines. In addition,
sheds and/or other accessory buildings are not permitted as primary uses on single family
residential lots. This is addressed as Condition # 1 of preliminary plat approval.
b. Location
The subject property is located at 29660 Military Road South, at the northeast comer of
Military Road South and South 298th Streets (Exhibit B). The site is generally bordered on
the west by Military Road South, and on the south by South 298th Street. Interstate 5 is
located approximately 125 feet to the east of the site.

II. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments, agencies and individuals were advised of this application:
a. The Community Development Review Committee (CDRC) consisting of the City of Federal
Way Department of Community Development Services Planning and Building Divisions;
Public Works Department; Parks and Police Departments; Federal Way Fire District;
Lakehaven Utility District; and Federal Way School District. CDRC comments have been
incorporated into this report where applicable.
b. Pursuant to FWCC Sec. 20-118 and 20-119, all owners of real property located within 300'
of site boundaries were mailed notices of application and public hearing. The site was also
posted and notice published in the newspaper and on the city's official notice boards. The
application was also mailed to utility companies proposed to provide electricity, telephone,
natural gas, cable television, and solid waste collection services, as well as the Washington
State Department of Transportation. No written comments concerning the application or the
'public hearing have been received as of the date of this report.
c. In accordance with the State Envkonmental Policy Act (SEPA) and FWCC Chapter 18,
Environmental Protection, all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of all site
boundaries, and all affected agencies were notified of the proposed action and the city's .
environmental decision. In addition, the site was posted and notice placed in the newspaper
and on the city's official notice boards. No public comments regarding the initial
determination were received, and the decision was finaled without modification.
3
III. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
An Environmental Determination ofNonsignificance (DNS) was issued for the proposed action on
May 20, 2000 (Exhibit D). No comments or appeals were received prior to the established deadlines
of June 5, 2000, and June 19, 2000, respectively, and the initial determination was finaled without
modification.
IV. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
a. Surface water management
Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as
streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are required to be designed in
accordance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the
city's amendments to the manual. The applicant's preliminary storm drainage and erosion
control report, dated 1/18/00 (Exhibit E) and Technical Information Report, dated 5/31/00
(Exhibit F) were reviewed and accepted by the city's Public Works Department. The
preliminary design proposes to collect and convey storm water to a combination water
quality/detention pond, located in a storm detention tract in the northwest comer of the
property. The pond will discharge in a design-controlled manner to the existing ditch along
Military Road South. Storm water runoff from the Military Road improvements will be
treated using a coalescing plate separator, which will drain into the proposed storm sewer as
it exits the site. See Section IX.c, Drainage Facilin'es, below, for additional information.
b. Soils
The 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) soil survey for King County classifies site
soils as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam, 0 to 6 percent slopes. The Alderwood Series is
characterized as moderately well drained soils, capable of adequate compaction, runoff is
slow, and erosion hazard is slight. The applicant's Geotechnical Engineering Study, by
Earth Consultants, dated March 16, 2000 (Exhibit G) analyzed subsurface conditions at the
site and provided geotechnical recommendations for the proposed development, as noted in
the following paragraphs. As discussed in c., below, implementation of the
recommendations of the applicant's geoteehnical study, along with staff-recommended
conditions of project approval, will address soils-related concerns.
c. Topography
The bulk of the site has significant grade changes, necessitating substantial grading for plat
improvements and to minimize slopes on building sites. The property generally has a high
point in the center and slopes down in all directions. Average site slopes are from 5%-10%,
with a steep slope (as defmed by FWCC), located off site, 8 to 15 feet from the north
property boundary. The applicant's geotechnical report (Exhibit G) identifies the slope as
12 to 32 feet high, with a gradient of approximately 100% (IH: IV). The report states that
the slope is a cut slope, created during grading for the mobile home park to the north, and
4
that it is stable in its present condition and configuration, with very dense glacial till soils
noted on the face of the slope.
Pursuant to the applicant's preliminary grading plan (Exhibit H), as accepted by the city,
approximately 75% of the site will be graded for plat improvements and related building
pads. Retaining walls ranging from two to six feet in height will be constructed along
Military Road; in the central portion of the site; and in the northwest corner near the
detention pond. As proposed, the area of lots 1 through 4, 25 through 30, and 40 through 45
will require only minimal grading.
The applicant's geotechnical report (Exhibit G) provides recommendations for site
preparation and general earthwork, fill slope placement, foundations, retaining walls,
excavations and slopes, and site drainage. The report recommends a ten foot land surface
modification setback fi-om the top of the steep slope, with an additional fifteen foot
structural setback; provided that the fill slope recommendations in the report are
implemented, i.e., setting the toe of the proposed fill 10' away fi-om the top of the existing
slope, and keying the fill into the existing slope using horizontal benches. The final grading
plan will be reviewed with engineering plans review to verify that excavation slopes and
clearing limits are the minimum necessary to achieve reasonable grades for building sites
and slope stabilization.
In addition, based on site conditions, the applicant's geotechnical report and the preliminary
grading plan, a supplemental geotechnical analysis is recommended for site development.
This requirement is addressed as Condition//3 of preliminary plat approval, as
recommended. Under this condition, the applicant shall obtain the services of a qualified
geotechnical engineer to review final design and specifications; be present on site during all
land surface modification activities; verify subsurface conditions; monitor construction
activities; ensure implementation of the recommendations of the geoteclmical report; and
provide the city with any additional recommendations for plat construction and future home
construction; including revegetation of disturbed areas adjacent to the steep slope.
Implementation of the recommendations in the applicant's geotechnical report, and staff-
recommended conditions of project apprOVal, will minimize topographic and vegetation
impacts and ensure slope and site stability. It will also identify any gcotechnical conditions
or requirements applicable to future lots and final plat review.
d. Vegetation
On site vegetation includes domestic shrubs and grasses, with a variety of deciduous and
evergreen trees. All natural vegetation is required to be retained except that which will be
removed for public improvements, per the approved final grading and engineering plans.
Based on preliminary grading and landscape plans, the applicant estimates that
approximately 50% of the existing significant trees outside of proposed rights-of-way and
the detention pond tract, will be eliminated, and replacement trees are proposed along the
western and northern perimeters of the site. Pursuant to Condition//5, as recommended, the
applicant shall submit a final landscape plan, including all required elements, as detailed in
VI.c., below. Also, future development of individual building lots is subject to code
requirements for significant tree retention and/or replacement, at the time of construction
permitting.
5
Small birds and animals (squirrels, field mice, etc.) are likely to inhabit the site. No
threatened or endangered species are known or suspected to inhabit the site. Retention of
significant trees and existing vegetation where possible, and required landscaping, will help
mitigate the introduction of human activities on wildlife habitat.
f. Mapped Sensitive Areas
As noted previously, a slope meeting the FWCC definition of steep slope, is located from 8
to 15 feet from the north property boundary of the site. Pursuant to FWCC Division 4, the
city may permit land surface modifications adjacent to a regulated slope, subject to an
accepted geotechnical report and related recommendations. The applicant's geotechnical
report (Exhibit G) determined that the slope is stable in its present condition and
configuration, and recommended specific measures for slope setbacks and slope fill
placement to control impacts to the slope. These recommendations, and supplemental
geotechnical analysis as recommended pursuant to Condition #3, will minimize topographic
impacts and ensure slope stability.
King County and City of Federal Way Sensitive Areas Maps do not reveal the site to be in a
problem area relative to landslides, seismic hazards, erosion, wetlands, streams, or 100-year
floodplains. An existing shallow ravine, located approximately 150 feet south of the south
plat boundary, was inspected by Habitat Technologies, Inc. on May I0, 2000; and it was
determined, with the city's concurrence, to not meet the FWCC definition of a stream.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
The property is situated in the northeast portion of the city, in a residential area characterized by a
mix of high density single family and multifamily development. The site is bounded on the west by
Military Road South, an medal street; and Interstate-5 is located about 125 feet off site to the east.
As proposed and with conditions of approval as recommended, the preliminary plat will be
compatible with adjacent uses and development in the surrounding neighborhood.
VI. GENERAL DESIGN
a. Subdivision access and roadway design
Access to the proposed subdivision will be provided by new internal public streets, with loop
access to Militmy Road on the west, and South 298th Street on the south. The Public Works
Department and Federal Way Fire Department have reviewed the proposed access, street
improvements, and curve radii. See Section VII.a, below, for a detailed description of
proposed and required street improvements. For adequate site distance and access
management, driveways will be prohibited onto Military Road, an medal street; and
driveways will be set back at least 25' from adjacent intersections. These and other
necessary provisions will be recorded on the face of the final plat map, pursuant to Condition
#3 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
b. Pedestrian system
The preliminary plat is designed to provide good internal pedestrian circulation and
connectivity to adjacent sidewalks. The proposed pedesa-ian improvements will also ensure
safe access by school age children to internal and adjacent school bus stops. Right-of-way
improvements include sidewalks on both sides of internal streets and South 298th Street, and
along the project frontage of Military Road South. In addition, in accordance with code, the
plat provides a mid-block non-motorized pedestrian/bicycle pathway between the internal
streets. The pathway will include a paved width of 12 feet within a 20-foot wide tract,
conveyed to the city as right-of-way prior to final plat recording. Pedestrian-scale lighting is
also required for this pathway, subject to engineering plans review and approval. In
addition, no sight-obscuring fencing or landscaping is permitted along the pathway on
abutting lots.' Provisions for pathway dedication, and fencing and landscaping restrictions,
are set forth in Condition #4 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
c. Landscaping
The applicant submitted a preliminaD' landscape plan in accordance with code. As part of
required street improvements, street trees will be provided in planter strips along the project
frontage of Military Road; on both sides of South 298th Street and the internal plat streets;
and within the street cul-de-sac. The plat is also required to provide a minimmn 10 foot
Type III landscape strip along Military Road, which shall be placed in a separate tract for
ownership and maintenance by homeowners. Cul-de-sac landscaping shall also be
maintained by homeowners. Landscaping is also required around the storm detention tract
for screening from adjacent streets and residences, and the recommendations of the
geotechnical report with respect to revegetation of disturbed slope areas will be applied to
the project. The applicant's proposed significant tree replacement plan must be reviewed
and approved with the landscape plan, and significant trees are required to be visibly
flagged. In addition, if Lots tt47 and #48 are not approved (,pursuant to Condition 111), Type
III landscaping shall be required in place of these lots. A final landscape plan depicting all
required elements is addressed as Condition # 5 of preliminary plat approval, as
recommended.
d. Open space
In order to provide adequate recreational oppommities commensurate with new residential
development, the city's Subdivision Code requires on site open space in the amount of 15%
of the gross land area of the site; or, as an option which the applicant has requested, an
alternative fee may be paid in lieu of providing the on site open space. The applicant's fee-
in-lieu request was accepted in concept by the Parks Director, based upon consideration of
the city's overall park plan, and the quality, location, and service area of the open space that
would otherwise have been provided within the plat. Pursuant to Condition #6 of
preliminary plat approval, as recommended, the optional fee is to be calculated on the basis
of 15% of the most recent assessed or appraised property value at the time of final plat
review, and paid to the city before final plat recording.
7
e. Lot layout
Proposed lots range in size from 5,000 to 7,500 square feet, and are generally rectangular in
shape. No important view corridors are located in or adjacent to the plat. In accordance with
the applicant's preliminary grading plan (Exhibit t0, rockery retaining walls will be
constructed along Military Road; in the central portion of the site; and in the northwest
corner near the detention pond. Retaining walls and rockeries must be located outside of
rights-of-way; may not displace or reduce any required landscaping; and are subject to
setbac~ and/or permit requirements as applicable. As proposed, the preliminary plat map
places a retaining wall within the Military Road right-of-way. This wall must be relocated,
as noted in Condition//4 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
In addition, in order to minimize visual and aesthetic impacts to adjacent residential areas,
retaining wall and rockery design should promote residential design themes through
terracing, natural material selection, placement of vegetation, and textural treatment
requirements as applicable. Any proposed fencing of the prelimimary plat and the
detention pond (if required), is also subject to setback and permit requirements as
applicable. In addition, perimeter fencing along Military Road must be placed inside the
required landscape tract. Aesthetic and locational criteria for retaining walls, rockeries, and
fences, is addressed as Conditions #7 and/t8 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
VII. TRANSPORTATION
a. Street improvements
As proposed and as required, right-of-way (ROW) improvements to Military Road will
include pavement widening, tapers, curb and gutter, street trees in a planter strip, street
lights, 8' sidewalk, and utility strip, within a ROW width of 39'; measured from centerline
(after the proposed 9' ROW dedication). Also, a southbound left-turn lane, with storage
length of 50', will be installed at the 298~ Street/Military Road intersection. In addition, in
order to correct the existing hazardous offset intersection of South 298th Street and Military
Road, the easterly leg of South 298~ Street will be aligned with the existing westerly leg.
The applicant will also be required to overlay existing concrete within the full width of
Military Road, for the length of the project frontage, including tapers; in order to ensure a
safe and consistent road section at this location.
Improvements to South 298th Street and internal plat streets, will be designed and
constructed in accordance with street cross-section "Type IF' (FWCC 22-1528, Local Street
rights-of-way). This includes a 32' paved width, 5' sidewalk, 4' planter strip, and street
lights, within a 56' ROW. The street section shown on the preliminary plat map will be
consistent with these design requirements, provided it is revised to include street trees, street
lights, and a 3" compacted depth asphalt concrete, pursuant to Condition #4, as
recommended.
The applicant's channelization and street improvement plans, prepared per the city's
engineering standards, are subject to review and approval in conjunction with engineering
plans review.
b. Adequacy of Local Streets
The city's Traffic Analyst reviewed the project's Traffic Impact Analysis and determined
that the proposed street design and related improvements appropriately mitigate project-
generated traffic impacts, with no additional mitigation measures required.
VIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Police and Fire Services
Police and fire delivery is expected at a rate typical to single-family subdivisions. Federal
Way police and fire departments reviewed the preliminary plat for compliance with
emergency access, hydrant locations, and fire flow requirements.
b. Schools
As part of the city's review, the preliminary plat and the applicant's School Access Analysis
were reviewed by the Federal Way School District. In accordance with the Subdivision
Code, the applicant is required to provide safe pedestrian route(s) for established and
planned school wa 'lking routes. According to district boundaries, the proposed subdivision
will be served by Valhalla Elementary School, Totem Junior High School, and Thomas
Jefferson High School. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to
accommodate enrollment growth and new development.
The district has determined that elementary and junior high school students will be bussed
from point(s) within the proposed subdivision, and a high school bus stop will be provided
on Military Road, just outside the plat. The sidewalk system as proposed will provide safe
routes for students walking to bus stops.
School impact fees, as authorized by city ordinance and collected at the time of building
permit issuance, are currently $2,383 per single family housing trait. School impact fees are
determined on the basis of the school district's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to
annual adjustment and update.
c. Recreation
Steel Lake Park is located approximately one mile southwest of the site. As proposed by the
applicant and supported by the city, payment of the applicant's optional fee in lieu of
providing on site recreational open space will be utilized to improve recreational
opportunities within the park comprehensive plan planning area of the subject property.
d. Fire Protection
A Certificate of Water Availability from King County (Exhibit 1) indicates that water is
available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fn-e flow standards for the proposed plat.
IX. UTILITIES
a. Sewage Disposal
The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision by a public sewer system managed by
Lakehaven Utility District. A Certificate of Sewer Availability (Exhitit J) indicates the
district's capacity to serve the proposed development via an extension of the existing sewer
line at Military Road South, subject to a Developer Extension Agreement -
b. Water Supply
The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and distribution
system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A Certificate of Water Availability (Exlfibit
I) indicates the District's capacity to serve the proposed development via an extension of the
existing water main at Military Road South, subject to a Developer Extension Agreement
c. Drainage Facilities
Storm drainage facilities are reqtfired to be designed in accordance with all applicable
requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual CKCSWDIVO and the
city's amendments to the manual. The preliminary plat is designed to collect and convey
storm water to a combination water quality/detention pond located in a storm tract along the
north boundary of the project. The pond will discharge in a design-controlled manner to the
existing ditch along Military Road South. Storm water runoff from the Military Road ,
improvements will be treated using a coalescing plate separator, which will drain into the
proposed storm sewer as it exits the site:
The property generally has a high point in the center and slopes down in all directions,
although mostly to the north. While the property itself slopes off in several directions, the
drainage still ends up in the same downstream drainage system to the north. A 2,530-square
foot area of proposed pavement at the southeast corner of the site will drain to the existing
ditch along Interstate-5 without detention or treatment. There is currently 4,288 square feet
of pavement draining to this area under existing conditions. Analysis of the comprehensive
drainage map indicates that this new drainage will recombine with the rest of the basin via
the existing Interstate-5 drainage ditch. No water quality treatment will be required for
runoff from this area, since the amount of untreated stormwater runoff will decrease, after
removing existing pavement and installing catch basins at the intersection of 298~ Street
South and at the eastern road of the subdivision.
As required by the city's engineering standards, drainage tracts and easements shall be
labeled and dimensioned, with corresponding language, on the face of the final plat; and all
building downspouts, footing drains, and drains from impervious surfaces such as patios and
driveways, are required to be connected to the approved storm drainage outlet. In addition,
surface water detention ponds are required to be screened from public rights-of-way and
adjacent property with landscape screening, per the city's amendments to the KCSWDM.
Dedication and easement language for the storm drainage tract, and landscape screening and
fencing, are addressed in Conditions/t4, //5, and/t8, as recommended.

Yd. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on an analysis of the proposed action, the environmental record, and related decisional criteria,
the Department of Community Development Services fmds that:
1. The proposed action is to subdivide a land area of 8.53 acres into 48 single family lots; with
two of the lots contingent upon an approved right-of-way vacation, to be requested under
separate action, pursuant to Condition//1 of preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
2. The site is vacant except for an existing abandoned dwelling, detached sheds, fencing, and
rockery. All existing structures and improvements are proposed to be demolished with the
project. Any structures or improvements that remain on site must meet all applicable code
requirements, including setbacks from property lines, as noted in Condition//2 of
preliminary plat approval, as recommended.
3. Proposed lot sizes and density is consistent with the current Zoning and Comprehensive Plan
designations for the site of RS-5.0, and Single Family-High Density, respectively; and the
project will be compatible with adjacent residential land uses, provided all recommended
conditions of preliminary plat approval are met.
4. The site contains significant grade changes, and a steep slope is located off the north
property boundary. The applicant's geotechnical engineer explored site and subsurface
conditions and provided geotechnical recommendations for site preparation and general
earthwork, steep slope fill placement, foundations, retaining walls, excavations and side
slopes. Implementation of the report recommendations, as well Condition/t3 of preliminary
plat approval, as recommended, will minimize topographic impacts and ensure slope
stability related to plat improvements and future building construction.
5. An Environmental Determination ofNonsignificance (DNS) was issued for the proposed
action on May 20, 2000. No comments or appeals were received, and the determination was
fmaled without modification. This determination is incorporated by reference as though set
forth in full.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: In 1999, the Federal Way Department of Public Safety received an overtime
reimbursement in the amount of $1,483.23 for participating in the DOTS (DUI Oriented Traffic Stops) Program.
Since its conception, several concerns have been addressed at State level. Primarily the intent of this program has
changed from intentionally stopping as many drivers as possible for minor traffic violations and then focusing on the
sobriety of the driver to conducting specific traffic patrols targeted at traffic violators. Clearly, DUI is one of the most
*.erious traffic crimes and appropriate procedures should be ensured. Secondly, the overwhelming response from law
nforcement agencies statewide has made it necessary to impose this program as a grant with special conditions and a
required local match as opposed to previously receiving reimbursements without special conditions and match.
The objective for this overtime funding is to assist the traffic and patrol units with increased enforcement for special
details dealing with traffic safety. To include DUI emphasis, seat belt enforcement, pedestrian safety detail and other
traffic violations.
Historically, the Department readily participates in emphasis details with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission,
King County Health Department, Federal Way School District, holidays, as well as City events. These types of
emphasis detail require extra personnel, administrative staff, equipment and support staff such as transport officers and
dispatch personnel.
Due to staffing levels, call loads, and budget limitations these events are difficult if not impossible to adequately
manage. In addition, the availability of planned events and interagency events enable officers to work together in the
spirit of cooperation. The City shares a common border with City of Des Moines, we have an existing agreement for
one of their BAC (Breath Analyzer Computer) instructors to assist with our training in exchange for our accident
investigation assistance. This training dramatically increases the number and quality of DUI investigations.
With day light savings and the holiday season quickly approaching this program allows an opportunity for the
Department to provide a high profile presence in our community. Normally, at this time of the year, budgets and
staffing levels are limited and would interfere with the ability to carry out special patrol emphasis. The program
provides the means to ensure a safer community.
The Department will provide not less than 25% of the local match which "may include direct and indirect contributions
) include time/wages of other assigned officers, supervisory support, dispatchers, vehicle usage or other contributions
~hat may be appropriate."
Applications/projects are funded on a first come basis.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At the September 11, 2000, meeting the Parks
Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee recommended that the proposed Washington Traffic
Safety Commission funding be forwarded to City Council for consideration.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize the City Manager to accept funding.

Washington Traffic Safety Commission, and the letter of acceptance from Interim Chief Chaney to the Washington
State Traffic Safety Commission.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Due to the success and good works of the Federal Way Police Officers, as well as
other state law enforcement agencies, the State has received revenues over the budgeted amount. This unexpected
windfall has allowed the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to provide this first time opportunity to all state,
county and local law enforcement agencies.
The purpose of this new program, "Overtime Funding for School Zone Enforcement," is to protect the lives of children
returning to school this fall in our jurisdiction. It is only effective for the first two weeks of the school year and one (1)
hour before and after the school day.
The Department of Public Safety requests approval to participate in the "Overtime Funding for School Zone
Enforcement" program. This will include requesting and accepting reimbursement for overtime expenses as outlined in
the Memorandum of Understanding (RCW 39.34, Interlocal Cooperation Act). Based upon the 18 Federal Way schools
identified and the maximum amount of qualifying overtime (2 hours per school per day), anticipated reimbursement is
approximately $13,882.00. We will request this revenue be appropriated during the 2000 year-end adjustments.
On August 22, 2000, an email was sent to the PRHSPS Committee members. This communication outlined the
program and opportunity presented to our jurisdiction. Included, were concerns addressing time restraints between
the start of the new school year (August 30, 2000) and the next PRHSPS Committee meeting of September 11,
2000. Due to this conflict, I presented this issue to the City Manager and received his approval.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At the September 11, 2000, meeting the Parks
Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee recommended that the proposed Washington Traffic
Safety Commission funding be forwarded to City Council for consideration.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize the City Manager to accept fundin[[.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The current City of Federal Way subdivision and development review
processes were established in April 1997, as part of the FWCC Amendments to implement I-IB 1724, the
Regulatory Reform Act of 1995 (RCW 36.70B). As part of its regular review of development regulations, staff has
identified several FWCC sections regarding land use review processes, which are in need of amendment. The
proposed amendments are predominately housekeeping in nature and will correct oversights and codification
errors, as well as clarify and improve land use review processes. Because the proposed FWCC text amendments
are procedural in nature, the proposed amendments are exempt from review pursuant to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA).
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The LUTC discussed the proposed Land Use
Review Processes FWCC Text Amendments during a public meeting on August 7, 2000. At the August 7, 2000
meeting, the LUTC unanimously recommended to forward the proposed Land Use Review Processes FWCC Text
Amendments to the full Council for first reading on September 19, 2000.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: Motion to move to second reading and enactment at the next

DRAFT PHASE ONE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA (PAA) STU~)Y
1.0 Introduction
Based on direction from City Council, the City of Federal Way Community Development
Services Department is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way Planned
Annexation Area (PAA) in the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations Map,
and Zoning Map. The intent of the comprehensive planning process is to allow the City to make
informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA.
As part of this evaluation process, Madrona Planning and Development Services was contracted
to perform preliminary research and to develop a scope of work and cost estimate to plan and
zone the PAA. This preliminary research, scope of work, and cost estimate is the Phase I PAA
Study: "the plan to do the plan."
If authorized by the City Council, implementation of the scope of work and PAA planning
process and the preparation of a PAA Sub-Area Plan will be the Phase II PAA Study.
This report summarizes the results of the Phase I PAA Study, including the research performed
and the issues identified, and presents the proposed Phase II PAA planning process, scope of
work, and cost estimate.
2.0 City of Federal Way Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Background
2.1 Background and Historyl
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires each city planning under the Act to identify an
Urban Growth Area (UGA) for itself. A city's UGA may include incorporated areas within the
city's municipal boundaries as well as unincorporated areas outside of the municipal boundaries.
In order for the unincorporated areas to be included within a city's UGA, the area must be able to
be provided with urban services by the subject city and be either currently characterized by urban
development, or be necessary to accommodate the projected population growth for the city. It is
important to note that under the GMA, counties determine UGA boundaries based on input from
cities and special service districts.
In King County, a city's unincorporated UGA is referred to as a Potential Annexation Area
(PAA), in order to avoid confusion with the Countywide UGA. The Countywide Planning
Policies (CWPP) provide direction regarding interjurisdictional planning, annexation, and the
phasing of urban development within PAAs. These policies call for:

Annexation Area, Revised October, 1998.

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
· Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities.
· Adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups
in the affected area.
· Annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the Countywide urban growth
boundary within an unspecified timeframe.
The CWPPs anticipate that, as this 20-year transition proceeds, the role of County government
will evolve into one of providing local services only to rural areas outside the Countywide urban
growth boundary.
In 1991, the King County Council formed the Unincorporated Southwest King County Citizen's
Advisory Committee (CAC) from unincorporated areas adjacent to Federal Way to evaluate the
PAA. The purpose of the CAC was to advise the County Council regarding PAA botmdaries.
With the support of King County planning staff, the CAC performed outreach and research to
formulate recommended PAA boundaries, which were presented to the County Council.
Also in 1991, the City of Federal Way prepared an issue paper that evaluated the GMA and
CWPP requirements for PAAs and an assessment of the provision of urban services within the
unincorporated areas adjacent to the city. The 1991 issue paper provided the basis for a staff
recommendation regarding the PAA boundary. The staff recommended PAA boundary was
presented to the Federal Way Planning Commission, which held a public hearing on the subject.
The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the staff
recommended PAA boundary.
The City Council accepted the recommendation, but directed city staffto negotiate with the
neighboring cities of Auburn, Algona, Des Moines, Kent, Milton, and Pacific. This negotiation
was necessary because these cities had developed their own PAA boundaries that overlapped
with the Planning Commission and staff recommended Federal Way PAA boundary.
After a year of negotiation, a revised Federal Way PAA boundary that resolved the overlaps was
presented to City Council. The Federal Way PAA boundary was adopted by City Council in
December, 1993. Minor amendments to the Federal Way PAA boundary were adopted in 1994.
Interlocal agreements with the cities of Aubum, Algona, Des Moines, Kent, Milton, and Pacific
are currently in place regarding the PAA boundaries.
2.2 Location and Area
The boundaries of the PAA relative to the existing Federal Way municipal boundaries are shown
on the Potential Annexation Areas map, which is taken from the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan.

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
The PAA is comprised of two separate areas. The larger of the two PAA areas is located to the
east of the existing city limits along the I-5 corridor and the Weyerhaeuser East Campus
development. This larger PAA area is approximately 4,996 acres in size.
The smaller of the two PAA areas is located west of Pacific Highway South (SR99) at the
existing northwest city limits in the Redondo neighborhood. The smaller PAA area is
approximately 53 acres in size.
2.3 Existing Urban Service Providers
In order to ensure efficient provision and future extension of urban services to the PAA, agency
and special service district boundaries were carefully considered in the evaluation and
development of the PAA boundaries. The following table summarizes the agencies and special
districts that provide urban services to the Federal Way PAA, with applicable comments
regarding service areas relative to the PAA boundaries:

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
2.4 City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan includes a Planned Annexation Area (PAA)
Chapter. The PAA Chapter summarizes the applicable GMA planning goals and CWPPs
regarding unincorporated UGAs and PAAs. As background, the PAA Chapter summarizes the
CAC and City of Federal Way PAA analyses and recommendations, including the urban services
provided to the PAA and the City Council adopted boundaries. Finally, the PAA Chapter
establishes goals and policies for establishing PAA boundaries, processing annexation requests,
and planning and zoning the PAA.
However, the Comprehensive Plan does not include the PAA in the Land Use, Capital Facilities,
Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements. These elements acknowledge the
PAA, but do not establish specific goals or policies. The PAA is not included in the
Comprehensive Plan Designations Map. Additionally, because the PAA is not currently under
the jurisdiction of the City of Federal Way, zoning has not been established for the PAA.
Therefore, the City of Federal Way is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way
Potential Annexation Area (PAA) in the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations
Map, and Zoning Map. The intent of the planning process is to allow the City to make informed
decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA.
This evaluation is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
PAAP4 Establish land use control, development plan review, and impact mitigation in the
PAA through interlocal agreement with King County.
PAAG2 Provide a framework for processing annexation requests.
PAAP10 Simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations should be required of all
annexations.
PAAP14 The City should establish departmental service needs prior to major annexations
through a fiscal impact analysis. As revenues from each annexation are collected,
increase City services to maintain current Citywide levels of service.
PAAP15 Provide newly-annexed areas with the same levels of service enjoyed by areas
inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining current Citywide service
levels.
PAAG3 Develop a Comprehensive Plan map and proposed zoning for the unincorporated
areas of the Federal Way Planned,4 nnexation ,4rea.
PA_AP16 Identify land uses in the Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated areas and
include proposed zoning for these areas.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phase 1 rpt.doc Page 4
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
PAAP17 Include policy direction in the Comprehensive Plan for the areas within the PAA
boundary relating to land use, transportation, capital facilities, housing, and
utilities.
These Comprehensive Plan goals and policies regarding the PAA form the foundation for the
proposed Phase II PAA planning process and scope of work.
2.5 PAA Planning by Other Cities and King County
As the initial component of the Phase I PAA Study research, other cities in both King and Pierce
Counties were contacted to determine the processes that were used for comprehensive planning
and zoning their PAAs. The cities that were contacted included Auburn, Des Moines, Kent,
Puyallup, and Renton.
All of these cities included their PAAs in their Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps. The
comprehensive planning was admittedly limited to determining the city's comprehensive plan
land use designation that was the "best fit" based upon the county's comprehensive plan land use
designation. None of these cities include the PAA in their Land Use, Capital Facilities,
Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements.
As parcels within the PAAs annex to these cities, the zoning designation that conforms to the
comprehensive plan land use designation is adopted. Any comprehensive plan issues associated
with the annexations are resolved at the time of annexation or the subsequent comprehensive
plan amendment cycle.
Conversations with the King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning confirmed the
fact that King County cities have largely been addressing their PAAs through incremental
annexations, not comprehensive planning. King County was very supportive of the City of
Federal Way evaluating comprehensive planning processes for its PAA.
King County currently has an Interdepartmental Governance Team that facilitates outreach and
studies to assess the governance alternatives available to unincorporated areas within the
Countywide urban growth boundary. However, these King County "governance studies" are not
intended to be PAA comprehensive plans. Rather, they focus on community outreach and
identification of local governance options. The studies take the perspective of the individual
residents relative to community perceptions, financial impacts of annexation/incorporation, and
quality and delivery of government services. Consequently, they are more analogous to cost-
benefit analyses than comprehensive plans.
Therefore, the PAA Phase I research did not identify an appropriate model utilized by other
jurisdictions to comprehensively plan and zone unincorporated urban growth areas.

3.0 Phase I Study
3.1 Purpose
Based on direction from City Council, the City of Federal Way Community Development
Services Department is evaluating planning processes to include the Federal Way Potential
Annexation Area (PAA) in the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Designations Map,
and Zoning Map. The intent of the comprehensive planning process is to allow the City to make
informed decisions regarding development and annexation of the PAA.
As part of this evaluation process, preliminary research regarding the PAA was performed to
develop a scope of work and cost estimate to plan and zone the PAA. This preliminary research,
scope of work, and cost estimate is the Phase I PAA Study: "the plan to do the plan."
If authorized by City Council, implementation of the scope of work and PAA comprehensive
planning process and the preparation of a PAA Sub-Area Plan will be the Phase II PAA Study.
3.2 Process
The following table summarizes the process used to prepare the Phase I PAA Study and the
scope of work to plan and zone the PAA:
1. Background Research This task included the following components:
a. Site visit to PAA.
b. Review of existing information regarding the PAA,
including:
· Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Designations;
· Federal Way GIS resources;
· King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Designations;
· King County GIS resources;
· King County Assessor's data regarding existing land
uses; and,
· King County Transportation and Surface Water
Management data.
c. Review of applicable GMA and CWPP requirements.
d. Research and interviews with other jurisdictions regarding
comprehensive planning of their PAAs.
2. Informational Meeting with The meeting included Community Development Services,
City Staff Surface Water Management, and Police. Individual
interviews were held with Traffic, PARCS, Federal Way Fire
Department, and Lakehaven Utility District.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
The meeting and interviews clarified the proposed process and
outcomes of the Phase I Study and identified existing
information resources regarding the PAA.
3. Informational Meetings with A meeting was held with the King County Department of
King County Regional Policy and Planning. Individual interviews were
held with King County Roads, Parks, Surface Water, and
ShefiWs Departments.
The meeting and interviews clarified the proposed process and
outcomes of the Phase I Study and identified existing
information resources regarding the PAA.
4. Summary of PAA Key The key issues regarding the PAA were identified through the
Issues research performed and the interviews with City and County
staff.
5. Preparation of Preliminary The preliminary scope of work and cost estimate was
Phase II Scope of Work and prepared based on the research performed and the interviews

The preliminary scope of work and cost estimate was utilized
for the City of Federal Way application for DCTED grant
funding for the PAA Phase II Study.
6. Individual Stakeholder Individual interviews were held with Surface Water
Meetings Management, Traffic, PARCS, Police, Lakehaven Utility
District, and King County Department of Regional Policy and
Planning to review the key issues and the proposed Phase II
scope of work.
7. Preparation of Phase I PAA The report summarizes the results of the Phase I PAA Study,
Study Report including the research performed and the issues identified,
and presents the proposed Phase II PAA planning process,
scope of work, and cost estimate.
8. Presentation of Phase I PAA The presentation is scheduled for the LUTC meeting of
Study and Phase II Scope of August 7.
Work to LUTC
4.0 Existing PAA Data Sources
A critical component of the Phase I Study research was to identify the existing information on
the PAA maintained by jurisdictions, agencies, and special service districts. A significant cost of
comprehensive planning, engineering and economic studies is generating data. Therefore, the
Phase II PAA Study has been designed to utilize existing data sources to the greatest extent
possible, in order to minimize data generation costs and time. The following sections describe in
greater detail the existing data that is maintained and readily available for the Federal Way PAA.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phasel rpt.doc Page 7
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
4.1 City of Federal Way
Land Use and Property Data
The City of Federal Way maintains a significant quantity of land use data on the PAA, including
current generalized land use and King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations.
The majority of the land use data is managed and analyzed by the Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) Division. The Federal Way GIS also manages other PAA data including, but not
limited to, public rights-of-way, surface water bodies, environmentally sensitive areas,
topography, water and sewer infrastructure, public facilities, and utilities.
The GIS parcel database is linked to the King County Assessor's parcel database, which allows
for analysis of ownership, assessed valuation, and sales data. This valuation and sales data will
be critical to economic and fiscal impact analyses of the PAA.
The assistance of the GIS Division, and particularly GIS Analyst Mike Strong, with the Phase I
PAA Report must be acknowledged. It is important to note that the Phase II PAA Study will
require significant support from the GIS Division to analyze existing land use data and develop
planning alternatives.
Wetlands and Streams
The Federal Way Wetland Inventory, prepared by Sheldon & Associates in 1999, included the
PAA. Therefore, data is available for all significant wetlands in the PAA, including general
location and boundaries, vegetation, soils, hydrology, existing impacts, and buffer condition.
The resulting wetland inventory map is managed and maintained by the GIS Division. The
availability of the wetland data will significantly reduce the cost of the Phase II PAA Study.
Additional discussion of wetlands issues is provided below in Section 5.0 of this report. The
Sheldon Study did not include streams within the PAA, therefore a stream inventory will need to
be included within any future PAA Study.
Traffic
The Federal Way Traffic Division is currently in the process of updating the EMME/2 traffic
model for the city. The model will include the generalized traffic patterns between the PAA and
the existing city limits, since these patterns are a significant contributor to traffic within the city.
However, the model does not specifically include the traffic patterns within the PAA. The
EMME/2 model would have to be expanded to specifically include the PAA as a component of
the Phase II PAA Study. The initial work would involve modeling the traffic based on existing
land uses and zoning designations to establish a baseline. This baseline would then be used to
assess the traffic impacts of the various PAA planning alternatives. Additional discussion of the
proposed modeling process is provided below in Section 6.0 of this report.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phase 1 rpt.doc Page 8
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
Surface Water
The Federal Way Surface Water Management Plan, adopted in 1995, addresses the PAA in
generalized terms. However, the majority of the land area within the existing city limits is
located within the following basins:
· The North, Central, or South Sub-Basins of the Lower Puget Sound Basin; or,
The East or West Branch Sub-Basins of the Hylebos Creek Basin, which drains to the
White/Puyallup River.
However, the majority of the land area within the PAA is located within the following basins:
The Lower Green River Basin;
· The Mill Creek Basin, which drains to the Green/Duwamish River; and,
· The White River Basin.
Only a small portion, approximately 2%, of the land area within the existing city limits are
located within the Lower Green River and Mill Creek Basins. No land area within the existing
city limits is located within the White River Basin. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will
include supplemental surface water inventorying, hydrologic modeling of the PAA area, and a
thorough assessment of the requirements of the Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) for the
Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White River Basins.
Additional discussion of surface water issues and the proposed surface water management
planning process is provided below in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 of this report.
Parks and Recreation
The Federal Way Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, adopted on November
21, 1995, included the entire PAA. In the Plan, the PAA is disaggregated into three separate
planning areas (F, G, and H). Planning area G includes the Weyerhaeuser East Campus area.
However, the vast majority of planning areas F, G and H are located outside of the current
Federal Way city limits.
Therefore, parks, recreation, and open space goals, policies, and capital projects have been
developed for the PAA. However, since the majority of these planning areas are outside of the
city limits, the capital projects are of relatively low priority.
A Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan update is currently in the process of being developed.
Barring significant land use planning changes in the PAA, the current parks, recreation, and open
space goals, policies, and capital projects are felt by the PARCS Department to be sufficient for
Planning Areas F, G, and H. However, depending on the timing of the PAA Phase II Study, the
two processes could be inter-related, which would avoid duplication of work and may result in
cost savings.

4.2 Lakehaven Utility District
Lakehaven Utility District is supportive of the proposed Phase II PAA Study. The District has
indicated their willingness to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II
PAA Study and to participate in the planning process.
Lakehaven Utility District manages and maintains all operational data regarding water service
infrastructure. This data is also maintained by the Federal Way GIS Division. Consistent with
state law, Lakehaven also has prepared a Comprehensive Water Service Plan for the district,
which includes the vast majority of the PAA. Preliminary discussions with Lakehaven Utility
District identified no concerns with water supply for additional development within the PAA.
Lakehaven also manages and maintains all operational data regarding sanitary sewer service
infrastructure. This data is also maintained by the Federal Way GIS Division. Consistent with
state law, Lakehaven also has prepared a Comprehensive Sewer Plan for the district, which
includes the vast majority of the PAA. The Comprehensive Sewer Plan is in the process of being
updated. Preliminary discussions with Lakehaven Utility District identified no concerns with
sewage treatment capacity for additional development within the PAA.
4.3 King County
King County maintains the majority of the planning data on the PAA. Based on contacts with
members of the Governance Transition Team, King County staff is supportive of the proposed
Phase II PAA Study. Moreover, the Governance Transition Team has indicated their willingness
to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II PAA Study and to
participate in the planning process.
Land Use
King County maintains a significant quantity of land use data on the PAA. This data is
available as part of the Assessor's Records which are accessible through MetroScan. In addition
to the land use data that is managed by the City of Federal Way summarized above, King County
maintains current land use and subdivision permitting data.
Roads and Traffic
The road and traffic data managed and maintained by King County Roads and Traffic Divisions
can be summarized as follows:
a. The Road Network Inventory System (RNIS) provides information concerning road features
within the right-of-way that are maintained by the Road Maintenance section King County
Road Services. These road features include:
· Type of roadway surface (i.e. A/C, Lit-Bit, Conc., Brick, Gravel)
· Width of roadway
· Type of shoulders

c. In addition, the Traffic Section provides information on current project information for guard
rails, new signals, flashers, street lights, neighborhood traffic safety (i.e. traffic calming
measures such as speed humps and enforcement, school pathways, development activity,
high accident locations (HALs), and corridor analysis in congestion areas.)
d. In addition to these two general areas, Roads Services provides information on the overlay
program in the PAA, bridges and capital projects.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000

e. Road Services provides cost information on all types of data as well as the County Road
Levy rate and transportation mitigation fees.
f. Traffic counts for collector and arterial streets.
g. Planned traffic improvements are identified in the King County 6-year Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP).
Surface Water
The surface water management data managed and maintained by King County Surface Water
Management can be summarized as follows:
a. Inventory
· Existing public facilities, including detention, treatment and conveyance systems,
maintained and inspected by King County;
· Number ofstormwater accounts; and,
· Citizen requests, inquiries, and complaints.
b. Budget/Revenue
· Existing and estimated revenue under King County rate structure;
· Annual budget; and,
· Capital projects within an approximate two year horizon.
It is important to note that King County does not include surface water management project
in the six year CIP, nor is a separate six year surface water management CIP prepared.
Essentially, the King County Surface Water Management Department operates from an
annual budget, with an informal plan for capital improvements within an approximate two
year horizon.
c. Applicable Basin/Flood Control Plans:
· Lower Green River Basin Plan;

· Volumes of dispatched calls;
· Fire calls;
· Officer initiated activities; and,
· All crime and incident reporting data as required by the FBI.
5.0 Significant PAA Issues
The research performed as a component of the Phase I PAA Study has identified several issues
that will require careful analysis in the Phase II PAA Study. Discussion of each of these issues is
provided in the following sections.
5.1 Level of Service Deficiencies
The PAA is included in the King County Comprehensive Plan, which establishes goals, policies,
and strategies regarding land use, transportation, housing, utilities, and capital facilities. The
Comprehensive Plan also establishes level of service standards for the urban services provided to
the PAA by King County. These goals, policies, strategies, and level of service standards are
codified in the King County Land Use Code as zoning designations, development standards,
subdivision standards, infrastructure standards, capital facility requirements, and environmental
regulations.
The existing King County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations for the PAA are
summarized on Potential Annexation Area - King County Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designations map.
Development in the PAA that has been reviewed and permitted under the King County Land Use
Code is provided with generally lower levels of service than development in the City of Federal
Way. This situation is typical of unincorporated lower density single family residential areas,
which comprise the majority of the land area of the PAA. These areas are typically the most
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phaselrpt.doc Page 13
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
difficult to provide with urban services, because of the higher costs per residential unit of
extending and operating services. The provision of urban levels of services to these areas by
counties is particularly difficult, due to the competing fiscal priorities for regional governments.
The discrepancies between the level of service and infrastructure standards for the County and
the City affect the built environment of the PAA in the following ways:
Traffic circulation;
· Street standards, including right-of-way width, surfacing, bike lanes, curb and gutter,
sidewalks, street lights, and planting and utility strips;
· Stormwater management standards, including water quality treatment, detention, and
conveyances;
· Parks, open space, and trails;
· Policing; and,
· Availability and provision of sewer service.
While some of these discrepancies between the level of service and infrastructure standards for
the County and the City have lessened over time, much of the development in the PAA was
permitted when the discrepancies were greater than they are currently. Therefore, as portions of
the PAA are annexed over time, the legacy of the historic discrepancies between the level of
service and infrastructure standards will become the responsibility the City of Federal Way to
resolve.
These discrepancies raise two issues. The first issue is to establish an inteflocal agreement
between King County and the City of Federal Way for joint review of land use projects proposed
in the PAA. The interlocal agreement should establish that Federal Way level of service and
infrastructure standards will be utilized in the review of land use projects in order to eliminate
additional discrepancies that will become the responsibility the City of Federal Way to resolve.
The second issue is to assess the fiscal impacts of resolving the existing level of service
discrepancies by providing newly-annexed areas with the same levels of service enjoyed by areas
inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining current Citywide service levels. This
issue is discussed in greater detail in the following section.
5.2 Fiscal Issues
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires the transformance of governance over time, with
counties functioning as regional governments and cities functioning as the primary providers of
urban services. Facilitating this transformance is the purpose of assigning PAAs to individual
cities for annexation.
However, the process of assignment of the PAAs to individual cities did not assess the fiscal
costs to the annexing jurisdiction of providing services and resolving infrastructure deficiencies
in the PAAs. As discussed above, the level of service and infrastructure standards in the PAA is
generally lower than comparable development in the City of Federal Way. Consistent with the
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, as portions of the PAA annex, they will be provided with the

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
same levels of service enjoyed by areas inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining
current Citywide service levels.
This policy may prove to be a significant fiscal challenge to the City of Federal Way. The
' majority of the land area of the PAA is comprised of lower density single family residential uses,
which were permitted with low levels of services and infrastructure, resulting in significant
deficiencies relative to Federal Way standards. Therefore, the costs of resolving existing level of
service and infrastructure deficiencies are anticipated to be relatively costly in the PAA.
Moreover, as is well documented, single family residential uses generally consume more
governmental service expenditures than they contribute in tax revenues. In contrast, higher
intensity commercial and industrial land uses generally contribute more in tax revenues than they
consume in governmental service expenditures. Ideally, the positive revenue/expenditure ratio
for commercial or industrial land uses off-sets the negative revenue/expenditure ratio for single
family residential uses to remain revenue neutral to the annexing jurisdiction.
However, there are relatively low levels of existing or potential commercial or industrial land
uses in the Federal Way PAA as is summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Generalized
Land Use map. Therefore, it is anticipated that the ongoing costs of providing levels of service
consistent with Federal Way standards to new land uses will be relatively costly in the PAA.
Given the anticipated costs of resolving the existing deficiencies and providing services to the
PAA and the relatively low anticipated tax revenues, it is unlikely that annexation under the
current zoning designations and tax structure will be revenue neutral to the City of Federal Way.
Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will likely have to consider a combination of two approaches
in order for the annexation of the PAA to remain relatively revenue neutral for the City of
Federal Way:
· Consideration of a broad range of creative fiscal strategies will have to be considered to
resolve existing service and infrastructure deficiencies in the PAA; and,
· Consideration of redesignation of areas of the PAA for higher intensity land uses.
However, the latter strategy may not prove to be feasible due to the surface water and
environmental constraints of the PAA, which are discussed in greater detail in the following
section.
5.3 Surface Water and Environmental Constraints
As previously discussed, the majority of the land area within the existing city limits is located
within the following basins:
· The North, Central, or South Sub-Basins of the Lower Puget Sound Basin; or,
· The East or West Branch Sub-Basins of the Hylebos Creek Basin, which drains to the
White/Puyallup River.

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
same levels of service enjoyed by areas inside Federal Way, while at the same time maintaining
current Citywide service levels.
This policy may prove to be a significant fiscal challenge to the City of Federal Way. The
majority of the land area of the PAA is comprised of lower density single family residential uses,
which were permitted with low levels of services and infrastructure, resulting in significant
deficiencies relative to Federal Way standards. Therefore, the costs of resolving existing level of
service and infrastructure deficiencies are anticipated to be relatively costly in the PAA.
Moreover, as is well documented, single family residential uses generally consume more
- governmental service expenditures than they contribute in tax revenues. In contrast, higher
intensity commercial and industrial land uses generally contribute more in tax revenues than they
consume in governmental service expenditures. Ideally, the positive revenue/expenditure ratio
for commercial or industrial land uses off-sets the negative revenue/expenditure ratio for single
family residential uses to remain revenue neutral to the annexing jurisdiction.
However, there are relatively low levels of existing or potential commercial or industrial land
uses in the Federal Way PAA as is summarized on the Potential Annexation Area - Generalized
Land Use map. Therefore, it is anticipated that the ongoing costs of providing levels of service
- consistent with Federal Way standards to new land uses will be relatively costly in the PAA.
Given the anticipated costs of resolving the existing deficiencies and providing services to the
PAA and the relatively low anticipated tax revenues, it is unlikely that annexation under the
current zoning designations and tax structure will be revenue neutral to the City of Federal Way.
Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will likely have to consider a combination of two approaches
in order for the annexation of the PAA to remain relatively revenue neutral for the City of
Federal Way:
· Consideration of a broad range of creative fiscal strategies will have to be considered to
resolve existing service and infrastructure deficiencies in the PAA; and,
* Consideration of redesignation of areas of the PAA for higher intensity land uses.
However, the latter strategy may not prove to be feasible due to the surface water and
environmental constraints of the PAA, which are discussed in greater detail in the following
section.
5.3 Surface Water and Environmental Constraints
As previously discussed, the majority of the land area within the existing city limits is located
within the following basins:
· The North, Central, or South Sub-Basins of the Lower Puget Sound Basin; or,
· The East or West Branch Sub-Basins of the Hylebos Creek Basin, which drains to the
White/Puyallup River.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
- phaselrpt.doc Page 15
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
However, the majority of the land area within the PAA is located within the following basins:
· The Lower Green River Basin;
· The Mill Creek Basin, which drains to the Green/Duwamish River; and,
· The White River Basin.
The configuration of these drainage basins in the PAA is summarized on the Potential
Annexation Area - Drainage Basins map.
Only a small portion, approximately 2%, of the land area within the existing city limits are
located within the Lower Green River and Mill Creek Basins. No land area within the existing
city limits is located within the White River Basin. Therefore, the Phase II PAA Study will
include supplemental surface water inventorying, hydrologic modeling of the PAA area, and a
thorough assessment of the requirements of the Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) for the
Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White River Basins.
It is important to note that the listing of specific salmonid runs on the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) will be an issue for the PAA, since both the Green/Duwamish and White Rivers contain
significant salmonid runs. While the outcomes of the ESA planning process are not clear at this
point, it is likely that the resulting regulations will impact the type and intensity of appropriate
land uses in specific drainage basins in the PAA through supplemental surface water
management requirements. The impacts of the ESA regulations will have to be thoroughly
assessed as a component of the Phase II PAA Study.
The PAA is also constrained by a significant amount of surface water bodies, including lakes,
streams, and wetlands. While most of these environmentally critical areas have been
inventoried, the inventories will have to be assessed as a component of the Phase II PAA Study.
Additionally, it will be imperative to mitigate potential water quality impacts to these surface
water bodies through careful land use planning and appropriate development and infrastructure
standards.
The Federal Way Wetland Inventory, prepared by Sheldon & Associates in 1999, inventoried a
total of 61 wetlands within the PAA. The location of these wetlands is summarized on the
Potential Annexation Area - Identified Wetlands map. The size ranges and classifications of the
wetlands within the PAA are summarized in the following tables:

Therefore, given these surface water and environmental constraints, any proposed planning
alternatives to increase land use intensity in the PAA will need to be carefully analyzed as a
component of the Phase II PAA Study. It may not be possible to mitigate the environmental
impacts of higher intensity land uses given the extent of environmentally critical areas in the
PAA.
5.4 Provision of Sewer Service
One of the most appropriate mitigations for potential higher intensity land uses in thc PAA
would bc extension of sanitary sewer infrastructure. As can be seen from the Potential
Annexation Area - Sanitary Sewer Mains map, thc existing sanitary sewer system is limited
largely to the northern and southwestern portions of thc PAA.
Based on preliminary conversations with Lakehavcn Utility District, it is unlikely that sanitary
sewer mains will be extended to the central portion of the PAA in the foreseeable future. Given
current land use conditions, the extension of sewer service to the currently unserved areas is not
fiscally feasible for the District. The sewer extensions to this ama would result in infeasible rate
structures for the users of thc system. Barring a public health emergency, sewer system
extension is unsupportable by current residential densities in most areas of thc PAA.
However, it is important to note that preliminary discussions with thc District identified no
concerns with sewage treatment capacity for additional development within thc PAA.
Additionally, Lakehaven is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. Review
of the updated Comprehensive Sewer Plan will be a component of thc Phase II PAA Study.
Lakchaven Utility District is supportive of thc proposed Phase II PAA Study. Thc District has
indicated their willingness to make all data available to the City of Federal Way for the Phase II
PAA Study and to participate in thc planning process. Preliminary indications are that thc

District would be supportive of potential land use changes that would enhance the feasibility of
sewer service extensions.
5.5 Policing
The majority of the PAA is physically separated from the City of Federal Way by the I-5
corridor. There are a limited number of overpasses that allow for east-west vehicular
connectivity across the corridor. This limited vehicular connectivity is further reduced during
peak commuting times, due to traffic congestion.
This limited vehicular connectivity raises significant public safety concerns, given the current
centralized police station on 9th Avenue South. Based on preliminary discussions with the Police
Department, the potential impacts of having to serve the PAA from this location west of the I-5
corridor include reduced response times and level of service based on numbers of police officers
per 1,000 population.
As a basis for comparison, the Federal Way Fire Department currently operates three fire
stations, including Stations 1, 4, and 5, on the east side of the I-5 corridor. The distribution of
fire stations is necessary to provide higher levels of fire protection services and reduced response
times.
Therefore, as portions of the PAA annex, it is anticipated that a police sub-station will be
required to be developed on the east side of the 1-5 corridor to maintain current levels of service
relative to police response times. Additionally, the Police Department currently operates at a
level of service relative to numbers of police officers per 1,000 population that is among the
lowest in the region. In order to maintain the current level of service, it will be required to hire
additional officers to serve the PAA population.
Analysis of the capital costs of developing a police sub-station and the ongoing operation costs
of hiring additional officers will be components of the Phase II PAA Study.
5.6 Community Character
An issue that is difficult to assess based on the limited scope of the Phase I PAA Study is one of
the perception of community character by PAA residents. The City of Federal Way has a long-
standing policy of annexing only upon petition of residents. However, it must be acknowledged
that some PAA residents have negative perceptions regarding annexation to the City of Federal
Way. These concerns regarding annexation are typical of unincorporated areas adjacent to cities.
Some of these perceptions are based on the potential for increased taxes; others are based on the
character of the PAA as a "rural" area.
If approved, the proposed Phase II PAA Study will include early and frequent opportunities for
substantive participation by PAA residents in the planning process. The structure of the Phase II
Study also includes membership of representatives of PAA community groups on the Steering
Committee, which is the decision making body for the Study.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phaselrpt.doc Page 18
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
However, it must be acknowledged that many PAA residents will be averse to annexation by the
City of Federal Way because they perceive that the nature of the communities are incompatible.
The public participation component of the Phase II Study must be able to address these concerns
and clearly identify the benefits of annexation to the PAA residents in order to be successful.
6.0 Proposed Phase II Study
6.1 Purpose
The intent of including the King County PAAs within the UGAs of the adjacent cities was to
provide for orderly annexation of the unincorporated areas over time. However, since King
County included the PAAs in its Comprehensive Plan, including land use, transportation,
housing, utilities, and capital facilities, most South King County cities have only nominally
included their PAAs in their Comprehensive Plans by adopting comprehensive plan land use
designations for their PAAs.
Currently, the City of Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan does not include the PAA in the Land
Use, Capital Facilities, Transportation, Housing, or Economic Development Elements. These
elements acknowledge the PAA, but do not establish specific goals or policies. The PAA is not
included in the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map. Additionally, because the PAA is not
currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Federal Way, zoning has not been established for
the PAA.
Therefore, as parcels within the PAAs have begun to annex, the process has not proven to be as
orderly as was originally intended because of lack of consistency between land use and zoning
designations, development standards, street standards, capital facility requirements,
environmental regulations, and level of service standards.
Additionally, the Federal Way PAA is challenged by several significant planning issues that
require a comprehensive sub-area planning approach:
· Because of environmental and infrastructure constraints, the majority of the PAA is zoned for
low density single family residential use. To provide increased levels of services to this type
of land use upon annexation consistent with Federal Way standards will present significant
fiscal challenges to the City.
· The PAA has numerous surface water bodies and other environmentally sensitive areas that
limit development of infrastructure, utilities and capital facilities.
· Significant portions of the PAA drain to the Lower Green River, Mill Creek, and White
River Basins, which will impact Federal Way's role in the King County Regional Needs
Assessment process.
· A significant portion of the PAA is currently unserved by water and sewer service, with
many existing residential areas utilizing septic drainfields.
· The PAA is separated from the majority of the City of Federal Way by the I-5 right-of-way,
which limits the east-west connectivity of transportation networks.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phase lrpt.doc Page 19
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
· This physical separation of the PAA results in significant challenges to provide public safety
services, particularly during peak traffic periods.
· The residents of the PAA may perceive that the character of their community is inconsistent
with that of the City of Federal Way.
The current situation poses a dilemma for parcels that are located within the PAA, but are not
adjacent to Federal Way City limits as King County is reluctant to consider changes in requests
for comprehensive plan designations for these parcels since they are located within Federal
Way's PAA.
Moreover, agencies that serve the PAA, such as the Federal Way School District, Lakehaven
Utility District, and Federal Way Fire Department, must work with two jurisdictions, King
County and Federal Way, to address service planning and operational issues in the PAA.
Working with one jurisdiction on these issues will improve the efficiency of this inter-agency
coordination.
Since 1993, the City of Federal Way has processed five annexation requests that resulted in the
annexation of approximately 810 acres. In the absence of an adopted comprehensive plan for the
PAA, decision-making becomes more problematic as it is being done on a case-by-case basis.
As a result, there is concern on the part of the City Council and residents living within the PAA
that the lack of Federal Way comprehensive plan designations and zoning for parcels within the
PAA will result in incremental, piece-meal planning at the time of each separate annexation.
PAA residents have indicated their reluctance to petition for annexation in the absence of
established pre-annexation comprehensive plan designations and zoning for parcels within the
PAA. Both residents of the PAA and the City Council desire a comprehensive approach to
planning and zoning the PAA whereby all parcels in the PAA will be reviewed concurrently with
full citizen involvement. This will result in a smoother annexation process and predictability for
residents desiring to be annexed to the City. In addition, it will determine how services will be
provided to the PAA and disclose the fiscal impacts of bringing services within the PAA to city
standards.
Therefore, the purpose of the proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan is to develop a comprehensive plan
for the Federal Way PAA to ensure orderly annexation of this unincorporated urban growth area
consistent with the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), the King County Comprehensive
Plan, and the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan.
The PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide for enhanced levels of intergovernmental and special
district cooperation and coordination, both within the planning process and for subsequent
annexation processes. The PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide a well-defined implementation
system for the transformance of governance as envisioned by the GMA, with counties
functioning as regional governments and cities functioning as the primary providers of urban
services.

City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
6.2 Organizational Structure
The PAA Phase II Study will utilize a three-tiered organizational structure of a Steering
Committee, a Staff Work Group, and a consultant team. The following summarizes the roles and
responsibilities of each of the three tiers:
a. Steering Committee: The Steering Committee is the decision making body for the Phase II
PAA Study. The purpose of the Steering Committee will be to evaluate and develop
alternatives for the PAA Sub Area and to formulate a recommended alternative to the Federal
Way Planning Commission.
Ideally, the jurisdictions and agencies will be represented on the Steering Committee by
elected officials or board members. The Steering Committee membership will include
representatives from the following organizations:
· PAA Neighborhood Organizations;
Federal Way City Council;
· Federal Way Planning Commission;
· King County Department of Regional Policy and Planning;
· King County Department of Natural Resources;
· Lakehaven Utility District; and,
· Federal Way School District.
The Steering Committee is anticipated to meet on a monthly basis to review major work
products, consider significant policy issues, and to provide direction to the Staff Work Group
and Consultant Team. By including elected officials and board members on the Steering
Committee, it is hoped that these individuals will be able to provide a regular reporting
function back to their respective organizations regarding the progress and status of the Phase
II Study. This will improve communication of concerns and allow for regular policy
feedback throughout the planning process.
Additionally, the Steering Committee will attend major public workshops and presentations
to obtain feedback from the public on the progress and proposals of the Phase II Study.
b. Staff Work Group: The Staff Work Group would be the project management body of the
Phase II Study. The purpose of the Staff Work Group is to oversee and manage the work of
the Consultant Team.
The Staff Work Group membership will include representatives from the following
organizations:
· Federal Way Community Development;
· Federal Way GIS Division;
· Federal Way Surface Water Management;
· Federal Way Traffic;
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phasel rpt.doc Page 21
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
Federal Way PARCS;
· Federal Way Police Department;
· Federal Way Fire District;
· Federal Way School District;
· Lakehaven Utility District; and,
· King County Governance Transition Team.
The Staff Work Group would meet on a weekly basis to provide data for analysis, ensure that
all analyses are consistent with established methodologies, and review the draft work
products prior to submittal to the Steering Committee and the public. Additionally, the
members of the Work Group would be responsible for the day-to-day interaction with the
Consultant Team.
c. Consultant Team: The Consultant Team will perform all data collection and analyses
necessary for the Phase II Study. All major work products, including analyses, reports, plan
documents and appendices, will be prepared by the Consultant Team for review by the Work
Group and Steering Committee.
The Consultant Team will be comprised of a multi-disciplinary group that will enable a
comprehensive approach to the Phase II Study. The Consultant Team will be comprised of
the following professionals:
· Land Use Planners;
· Civil Engineers;
· Transportation Engineers;
· Environmental Consultants; and,
· Economic/Fiscal Consultants.
It is strongly recommended that the City consider a Consultant Team that has experience in
working with an inter-disciplinary planning approach for the Phase II PAA Study.
6.3 Process, Costs, and Milestones

The purpose of this task is to implement the organizational structure for the Phase II PAA Study
as described in the above section.
The consultant team will be responsible for working with each of the identified jurisdictions,
agencies, and organizations to identify appropriate representatives for the Steering Committee
and Staff Work Group.
An initial organizational meeting will be held for each group, which will be facilitated by the
consultant team. The main objectives of the initial meeting will be to review the findings of
PAA Phase I Study and the proposed Phase II PAA Study. The consultant team will also utilize
the initial meeting to present a proposed community participation process and schedule for the
Phase II Study.

Total $90,000
The initial component of this task will be to conduct a series of focused public charettes and
meetings with residents and community and business organizations in the PAA to introduce the
PAA Phase II Study process, identify planning issues, and collect data. This early opportunity
for substantive public participation is essential to bring PAA residents into the process and to
establish realistic expectations.
The core component of this task will be to collect, review and analyze existing King County,
City of Federal Way, and Lakehaven Utility District data sources regarding the PAA. The
majority of this data is identified previously in this report. However, it is anticipated that
additional data collection will be necessary to supplement existing data sources and address
deficiencies and needs.
The existing conditions data and inventory will include the following:
Existing land uses and development activity within the PAA;
Comparison of King County and City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
designations;
· Housing inventory, conditions, and affordability analysis;
· Inventory of the existing street system, including surfacing and sidewalks;
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phase I rpt.doc Page 24
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
· Traffic and transit data;
· Review any existing hydraulic modeling of the PAA;
· Location and ownership of storm water detention ponds and conveyance systems;
· Location of natural and man-made surface water systems, including bogs;
· National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted facilities;
· Surface water survey of industrial users;
· Summary of citizen requests, inquiries, and complaints to King County Surface Water
Management in past 5 years;
· Summary of applicable surface water plans, including Lower Green River, Mill Creek, White
River, and Hylebos Creek Basins;
· Summary of planning requirements based on ESA listing of specific salmonid runs;
· Inventory of environmentally critical areas, including wetlands, steep slopes, streams, lakes,
wildlife habitat, floodplains, and wellheads;
Inventory of public and private water systems;
· Parks, open space and recreation facilities;
· Inventory of sewer systems;
· Septic sewer surveys;
· Inventory of police and public safety facilities;
· Inventory of fire and EMS facilities;
· Inventory of public school facilities; and,
· Summary of planned capital improvements identified in King County, Lakehaven Utility
District, and Federal Way School District CIPs.
Based on this data and inventory, the following analyses will be performed:
· Development capacity analysis for residential, commercial and industrial land uses based on
existing zoning designations;
· EMME/2 traffic modeling of existing conditions; and,
· Hydraulic modeling of major surface water systems.
These analyses and models will serve to establish a "no action, existing conditions" baseline for
purposes of comparison of potential alternative land use designations. The comparison of the
various planning alternatives will occur under Tasks 3 and 4.
The analyses will be compiled into a PAA Characterization Study Report, which would serve as
the milestone and major work product for this sub-task.
Once developed in draft form, the Characterization Study Report will be presented to the Staff
Work Group for review and comment. After revision based on the comments, the
Characterization Study Report will be presented to the Steering Committee for review, comment,
and revision, as necessary.
After approval by the Steering Committee, the Characterization Study Report will be presented
to PAA residents and community and business organizations through a series of focused public
meetings.

Planning Services $2,000
Civil Engineerinl~ $600 December, 2000-
Transportation Engineering $600 March, 2001
Environmental Services $300
Economic/Fiscal Services $10,000
Total $13,500
The initial component of this task will be to review Federal Way Comprehensive Plan housing
and economic development goals and policies. The economic development analysis recently
completed for the City by EcoNorthwest will also be reviewed to identify existing deficiencies
and/or surpluses. The consultant will also review existing economic, demographic and real
estate market data to identify relevant trends.
The consultant will collect and analyze available economic and fiscal data, including:
· Assessed value by type of property;
· Appreciation rate of assessed value;
· City and County taxable sales growth;
· Charges for services and rate of increase in charges;
· Utility tax rates;
· Debt service factors (tax rate, interest rate on debt, etc.); and
· Itemized public services per capita costs.
Using this background data, the consultant will analyze the real estate market for a mixture of
uses in the PAA within the context of the wider Federal Way and South King County regional
economies. The analysis will identify development opportunities that would potentially be
supportable in the PAA and identify the key assumptions associated with these development
opportunities.
An Economic Forecast for the PAA will be prepared, including market analysis, and analysis of
economic development alternatives, including:
· Estimate of potential tax revenues;
· Estimate of infrastructure and public service costs;
· Analysis of potential net returns to local government.
The background data and analyses will be utilized to prepare a fiscal model to assess the impacts
of annexation to the City of Federal Way. The fiscal model will be further utilized for Tasks 3
and 4 to determine the net fiscal effects of various alternative plans for the PAA and to determine
the appropriate scale of residential, commercial and institutional land uses in the preferred
alternative.

The foregoing data and analyses will be compiled into an Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact
Analysis Report, which serves as the major milestone and work product for this sub-task.
Once developed in draft form, the Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis Report will be
presented to the Staff Work Group for review and comment. After revision based on the
comments, the Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis Report will be presented to the
Steering Committee for review, comment, and revision, as necessary.
After approval by the Steering Committee, the Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis
Report will be presented to PAA residents and community and business organizations through a
series of focused public meetings.
Task 3: Develop PAA Sub-Area Plan Alternatives
?E~fim Estimated Timeframe:
Planning Services $6,000
Civil Engineering $6,000 April - May, 2001
Transportation Engineering $30,000
Environmental Services $300
Economic/Fiscal Services $600
Total $42,900
The consultant team will incorporate the data collected and analyses performed for the
Characterization Study and Economic Analysis and Fiscal Impact Analysis into range of plan
altematives. The plan alternatives will include a "no-action, existing conditions" altemative.
Input from PAA residents, the Work Group, and the Steering Committee will be critical to the
development of the plan alternatives.
It is imperative that participants in the planning process will have a clear understanding of the
effects of each alternative. In order to allow for substantive comments and defensible decisions
to be made, each plan altemative will be analyzed as follows:
· Perform EMME/2 traffic modeling of alternative land use designations;
* Perform Hydraulic modeling of major surface water systems under alternative land use
designations;
· Assess consistency and compliance of plan alternatives with the GMA, CWPPs, and Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan.
The foregoing data and analyses will be compiled into a Plan Alternatives Report, which would
serve as the major milestone and work product for this task.
Once developed in draft form, the plan alternatives will be presented to the Staff Work Group for
review and comment. After revision based on the comments, the plan alternatives will be
presented to the Steering Committee for review, comment, and revision, as necessary.

Based upon direction provided by the public, the Staff Work Group and the Steering Committee,
the preferred PAA plan alternative will be prepared. The preferred altemative may be one of the
planning alternatives prepared under Task 3, a combination of several of the plan alternatives, or
a new alternative.
Based on the selection of a preferred alternative, the consultant team will develop goals, policies
and implementation actions specific to the PAA Sub-Area. Since the Sub-Area Plan will become
an individual element of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, existing goals, policies and
implementation actions will not be replicated.
The Draft PAA Sub-Area Plan will include the following elements:
· Land Use;
· Interjurisdictional Coordination;
· Capital Facilities, including 6 Year Capital Improvement Plan with identified funding
sources;
· Transportation, including 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program with identified
funding sources;
· Housing;
· Economic Development;
· Natural Environment;
· Private Utilities; and,
· Parks and Recreation.
The Draft PAA Sub-Area Plan will serve as the major milestone and work product for this sub-
task.
Additionally, the Draft PAA Plan will include three appendices:

If new comprehensive plan and zoning designations are recommended by PAA Sub-Area Plan,
the consultant team will develop the new designations, district regulations and use zone tables.
Potential new comprehensive plan and zoning designations include development of a two-tiered
designation system for areas currently unserved by a full range of urban services. The lower
intensity tier of the designation would be applied until such time as a full range of urban services
is provided. Additionally, new development standards associated with the new zoning
designations may be recommended, based upon identified land use or environmental impacts.

The Draft Pre-Annexation Agreement will identify and address issues of inter-jurisdictional
transition, funding, and service delivery within the PAA prior and subsequent to annexation.
Specifically, the Draft Pre-Annexation Agreement will address the existing capital facilities
deficiencies identified in the PAA Characterization Study and the projects within the PAA
identified in the King County Capital Improvement Program. It will also establish a joint review
process for land use projects proposed in the PAA. The Draft Pre-Annexation Agreement should
establish that Federal Way level of service and infrastructure standards will be utilized in the
review of land use projects in order to eliminate additional discrepancies that will become the
responsibility the City of Federal Way to resolve.

6.4 Assumptions
This is a preliminary cost estimate only, based on our experience with similar types of projects in
this and other jurisdictions. This cost estimate shall not be binding upon Madrona Planning and
Development Services. This preliminary estimate has been prepared based on limited
information regarding the PAA Sub-Area. Key assumptions made in preparing the estimate
include the following:
· An addendum to the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) will be prepared for the PAA Sub-Area Plan. A separate EIS or a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) will not be required to be prepared for the PAA
Sub-Area Plan.
· The PAA Characterization Study does not identify significant environmental issues beyond
the scope of work.
Madrona Planning and Development Services September 6, 2000
phase 1 rpt.doc Page 34
City of Federal Way Draft Phase I Planned Annexation Area (PAA) Study
· King County and other affected agencies and special districts are willing participant in the
PAA Sub-Area planning process and the pre-annexation agreement negotiation process.
· Public comment does not identify significant community opposition to the PAA Sub-Area
planning process or future annexation to the City of Federal Way.
· There is continuous and substantive participation in the PAA Sub-Area planning process by
representatives from King County, Federal Way, affected agencies and special district staff;
Federal Way Planning Commission and City Council; and community groups.
· The estimated professional expenses are based upon a negotiated project rate for each of the
professional services. A time and materials rate will increase the total project cost
accordingly.
7.0 Conclusion
Without a comprehensive sub-area plan for the PAA that specifically relates to the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan, it is difficult to assess the land use, environmental, and fiscal impacts of
annexations. As a result, there is concern on the part of the City Council and residents living
within the PAA that the lack of Federal Way comprehensive plan designation and zoning for
parcels within the PAA will result in incremental, piece-meal planning at the time of each
separate annexation.
Both residents of the PAA and the City Council desire a comprehensive approach to planning
and zoning the PAA whereby all parcels in the PAA will be reviewed concurrently with full
citizen involvement. This will result in a smoother annexation process and predictability for
residents desiring to be annexed to the City. In addition, it will determine how services will be
provided to the PAA and disclose costs involved in bringing services within the PAA to city
standards.
The purpose of the proposed Phase II PAA Study is to develop a comprehensive plan for the
Federal Way PAA to ensure orderly annexation of this unincorporated urban growth area
consistent with the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs), the King County Comprehensive
Plan, and the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide for enhanced levels of intergovernmental and
special district cooperation and coordination, both within the planning process and for
subsequent annexation processes. The proposed PAA Sub-Area Plan will provide a well-defined
implementation system for the transformance of governance as envisioned by the GMA, with
counties functioning as regional governments and cities functioning as the primary providers of
urban services.

methodology to achieving these purposes, while ensuring ongoing and substantive public
participation.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 200'//2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
iii
crrY OF ~
September 19, 2000
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Fellow Residents:
I am pleased to present the 2001/2002 proposed budget for City Council consideration. The challenge in
preparing this proposed budget has been to adjust to the reduction in revenue from the loss of Motor Vehicle
Excise Tax while providing the level of service desired and requested by Federal Way citizens. We have met this
challenge by reducing positions and expenditures where possible, adjusting revenues to conservatively reflect
recent trends, and consolidating certain functions. In preparing the proposed budget, we have been particularly
mindful of the Council's direction outlined at the retreat earlier this year and input received from citizens at the
open houses, community meetings and the citywide survey. In adherence to this direction and input, the proposed
budget places primary emphasis on enhancing public safety in the community, investing in transportation capital
improvements and improving the communication of and accessibility to government services.
We hope and believe this proposed budget demonstrates a responsive and efficient city government. After
thorough evaluation and review of administrative responsibilities and functions, several consolidations and
adjustments are recommended to provide more efficient service. A detailed line item review of each department's
budget has resulted in expenditure savings. A conservative adjustment of projected revenues to more precisely
reflect recent revenue trends and a more complete identification of general fund support to proprietary fund
operations has provided the necessary funds to continue, and in very specific areas, enhance the necessary
services desired by citizens. Finally, the hiring freeze initiated late last year provided the flexibility to make staffing
adjustments to more efficiently provide these services.
BUDGET FRAMEWORK
With the passage of Initiative 695 (I-695) in 1999, the City faced a significant revenue loss from the elimination of
the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. This revenue loss began in 2000, which was temporarily made whole with prior
year savings. The City has been fully aware of the challenges it faced in developing this new budget and re-
establishing a sustainable level of service. The Council and staff worked together in a planning retreat earlier this
year and identified the following broad goals for developing this budget.
V Be Responsible and Responsive to the Voters' Message:
* Operate the City in an entrepreneurial and fiscally responsible manner with focus on both revenue
generation as well as expenditure control;
· Make responsible program choices in balancing the budget such that the City does not penalize
the voters.
VI Enhance Public Safety in the Community:
· Recognize that public safety continues to be the top priority of the Council;
* Look at an integrated public safety strategy that involves all facets of City operations such as
licensing, code enforcement, police, prosecution, and court services;
* Analyze the police/court facility options and prepare an implementation plan.
VII Invest in our Community's Future:
. Aggressively implement the City Center vision;
* Identify sustainable capital funding sources;
CITY OF FEDERAl- WAY 2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
· Recognize the importance of programs for families and youth.
VIII Improve Communication of and Accessibility to Government Services:
· Make government service more accessible and user-friendly through the application of
eCommerce and eGovemment.
In addition, through a citizen survey, budget open houses, and the various community meetings offered by the
City, the community has confirmed that public safety and traffic congestion are the two most important and urgent
issues facing the community.
Based on this framework, staff and I worked to develop a budget that will minimize the impact on the services to
the community; minimize the impact on existing staff; and consolidate functions and activities among operating
units, departments, and in the longer term, among government entities to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
BUDGET ORGANIZATION
The budget is organized consistent with previous budgets, with an Executive Summary section focusing on
organization-wide information and the Operating Budget section organized by department and operating units. In
the Operating Budget section, we have added the key funding sources that support each of the major program
areas. We believe this is another way to demonstrate the accountability of City operations.
Also similar to previous budgets, the budget detail includes a base-line estimate, which is the amount needed to
continue existing programs and services before any program changes. Finally, the program changes that I am
recommending are identified separately from the base-line estimate, which will be incorporated upon the Council's
adoption of these changes.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
Overall the proposed operating budget, balanced between the resources available and City's day to day
operations, are $37.9 million and $38.6 million for 2001 and 2002 respectively. This is $781,761 or 2.1% above
the 2000 adjusted budget, and a $652,896 or 1.72% increase between 2001 and 2002. These figures include a
$574,000 or 49% increase in 2001 and an additional $100,000 or 5.6% increase in 2002 for jail services from the
adjusted 2000 budget. Jail costs, representing approximately 3.2% of the City's operating budget, are responsible
for 73.4% of the proposed increase.
The baseline budget estimate started off with a shortfall of $1.75 million in 2001 and $1.95 million in 2002
respectively. These amounts are higher than those previously reviewed with the Council primarily due to higher
than projected jail costs based on recent experience, and a higher rate of inflation that drives both personnel and
service costs. To bridge this gap while meeting the framework laid out by Council, we revisited our basic revenue
assumptions; analyzed internal support costs the General and Street Funds charge to special revenue and
enterprise operations; examined our services and recommended areas for reduction; and increased service levels
in those areas the Council and community have identified for higher service levels.
These actions resulted in a balanced operating budget; $1.5 million in a number of one-time programs that are
consistent with Council and community priorities; and allocating the remaining $2.8 million to capital projects.
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
The revenue estimates were adjusted upward by $803,000 to reflect the higher activity and inflation levels. The
revised revenue estimate includes an inflationary adjustment of 3% to property tax each year. This is lower than
the 3.4% mid-year consumer price index and slightly higher than the preliminary Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) at
2.61%. With this adjustment, the projected property tax rate will be $1.479 per thousand, a decrease from the
current rate of $1.489 per thousand. This translates into $19.60 per month per family, based on the average
residential property value of $159,000 in Federal Way.

2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAl_ WAY
The internal support charges and reimbursements relieved the General Fund of $443,000 in required resources.
We first recognized General Fund support to proprietary fund operations in 1995. During the budget process we
updated that analysis and considered the direct support and supervision provided within a department. Through
this review, we are adjusting direct and indirect support charges to Surface Water, Solid Waste, ^rterial Overlay,
Debt Service, Utility Tax, Dumas Bay Centre and Knutzen Family Theatre operations for a total of $310,000. in
addition, I asked staff to review the total impact on the maintenance and operating budget resulting from the
downtown improvement projects and Celebration Park based on the first two years' experiences to ensure the
addition of these projects did not adversely impact other existing parks and infrastructures. The result of their
review indicates the General Fund has been paying $56,000 for an invasive plant removal program at Celebration
Park which is part of the development mitigation requirement; and that with the completion of the SR99 Phase I
improvement in 2001, the lighting, planter and landscaping will require $36,000 per year in maintenance. We
recommend both these costs be funded by the utility tax as originally intended.
The final recommended internal adjustment is to combine the Strategic Reserves and Self-Insurance Reserves,
and allocate the interest earnings from these reserves to the General Fund totaling $132,500 per year. The City
established the Strategic Reserve Fund with a $2 million balance in 1991, and has not increased this amount in
the last 10 years, while the City's operating expenditures have increased over time. On the other hand, the City
has been accumulating a self-insurance reserve for the last 10 years and the amount is currently reaching $1.5
million. I am recommending the City combine these two reserves into one Strategic Reserve Fund, which will
provide a larger safety net for either purpose, and allocate investment earnings from this reserve fund to the
General Fund.
PROGRAM CHANGES
From the $1.3 million potential reductions the departments identified, I selected $821,587 in 2001 and $766,420 in
2002 that represent changes primarily in administrative or support functions and line-item cuts. Some I
recommend to be restored on a one-time basis. These program reductions represent an elimination of 8 positions
(6 regular, and 2 one-time funded); all are currently vacant due to the hiring freeze. All operations were
considered for cost reduction and all departments contributed to the bottom line. All and all, the impacts on direct
services are being kept to a minimum.
The budget will recommend the incorporation of 5 existing positions to the base budget, including Thomas
Jefferson High School Resource Officer and records specialist for Des Moines warrant service that were
previously approved by the Council and the conversion of 3 contract/temporary positions that we believe will need
to be continued into the future. It will also add 5.1 new positions, of which 3 are funded with special revenues.
Including position reductions made possible in part by reallocating existing resources, the net impact is an
increase of 4.1 regular positions from the 2000 adjusted level.
Program Reductions:
As part of the budget preparation, I asked each department to identify 5% of programs for potential
reduction. All departments met this goal and provided creative options in combining functions and shifting
responsibilities where possible and reduced contracted services through negotiating favorable terms.
When reducing positions, we first looked at reducing internal support and administrative functions. When
service positions are involved, we combined functions and reassigned responsibilities.
· Reduce Internal Support and Administrative Positions - To minimize the impact on public services, we
focused program reductions in internal support and administrative functions. These included a Deputy
Director position in Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department; two office assistants; one in
the City Manager's office, one in the Management Services Department; 1 Human Resource
Technician, 0.5 Analyst position, and 0.5 PC/Communications Technician. These account for five of
the six regular positions eliminated.
· Reduce Service Personnel Though Combining Functions - We were able to reduce one electrical
inspector position by hiring combination inspectors who are certified and capable of inspecting both
electrical and general building code requirements.
3
CITY OF FEDERAL WA Y 2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
· Continue Ne~qhborhood ,Service Center with One-t/me ,Sources -- The 2001/2002 budget continues to
support the Westway and the North Community Neighborhood Resource Center programs that began
in 1997. Using the same approach above, we were also able to reduce one vacant Recreation Leader
who supports the Police Department's Community Resource Center and one vacant Police Support
Officer position. Both of these positions are currently funded with one-time funding sources. The
programs will be slightly modified by reassigning their function to the remaining positions in the
department.
The costs to operate the two resource centers were initially included in the base-line assumption for
on-going funding consideration. At this time, I recommend these programs be continued on a one-time
basis as they were in prior years. The result is moving the cost of $170,371 from the base-line budget
to one-time funding. This change, and an anticipated 911 dispatch contract cost reduction of
$103,000, make up the bulk of the budget reductions in the Public Safety Department.
Program Additions:
The following discussion will highlight the proposed changes to address the Council goals. A more
detailed list containing all changes is attached to this letter.
t. Enhance Public Safety in the Community:
One of the most widely recognized service issues in this community is the desire to increase the
sense of public safety through an increased police presence. Seven of the 10 proposed position
changes are public safety-related. They include programs to bolster police presence; assist victims of
crimes; shore-up criminal prosecution; and add support in the court to process the increased case
activities. These adjustments represent a significant step towards increasing the presence of our
police on our streets.
· Police Presence - A major goal of this budget has been to identify ways to increase police presence
and visibility on the streets and to enhance patrol staffing. The proposed budget will add 5 patrol
officers to the current 49 officers assigned, or over 10% increase in on-street patrol presence. This is
accomplished by reassigning four officers from administration, crime prevention, and detective
functions, and adding one new special emphasis patrol officer who will primarily be focused on Pacific
Highway for drug and prostitution enforcements. The new position will be funded with seizure funds
for a two-year period with its effectiveness reviewed for future continuation of the program.
· Victim Assistance Program - The Victim Assistance Program was started in 1998 on a trial basis to
provide assistance to victims of domestic violence and other violent crimes. Over the past two years,
the program has recruited and trained a group of volunteers who are on call to assist police officers in
responding to crime incidents and has become an integral part of the public safety solution.
Previously funded with one-time funds, the proposed base-line budget converts this program to on-
going.
· Timely Prosecution - The City has seen a significant increase in criminal case volume since 1997
and has been using a contract prosecutor to cover the caseload. To ensure criminal cases are
prosecuted and enhance stability in the division, we recommend converting the contract position to a
regular position. To provide the on-going funding for this position, the department has renegotiated
the public defender's contract to identify savings to fully cover the position's first year's cost and a
substantial portion of future costs.
· Court Operation - With the first year's operations drawing to a conclusion, some fine-tuning to the
staffing level to match the activities at the court is needed. The success of the traffic school diversion
program reduces the municipal court hearing time but requires court administrative processing. The
Municipal Judge, under authority from the State Office of the Administrator for the Courts, approved a
$20 filing fee earlier this year, which will sufficiently fund the one needed clerical support position. We
also recommend converting the 2 half-time temporary security staff to regular half-time positions to
2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
assure continued security at the court. There will be a slight increase in benefit costs from this
conversion.
2. Invest in our Community's Future:
· Aggressively Implement the City Center Vision - The proposed budget includes $225,000 to
perform a comprehensive environmental impact analysis to determine any infrastructure or mitigation
requirements that would apply to new development or redevelopment in the City Center core. This will
provide predictability in mitigation costs and reduce the time needed for development projects in the
City Center, thus encouraging and expediting development activity.
In addition, it is my recommendation to allocate a substantial portion of resources from the City
Manager's Office and the Community Development Department to the economic development
program. I am recommending restructuring my office to upgrade the Assistant to the City
Manager's position to an Assistant City Manager position for the policy level responsibilities that
have been assumed by the position. I am also recommending converting the vacant Deputy City
Manager position to an Assistant City Manager position, which would assist in coordinating the
economic development effort. Finally, I have revised the Community Development Director
position to include a focus on economic and downtown development programs. The proposed
budget does not recommend continued funding for the economic development executive contract
with the Chamber of Commerce, rather this function will be performed with the above staffing
reassignments.
· Identify Sustainable Capital Funding Sources - Staff and I reviewed a number of options to
provide sustainable on-going capital sources for the City's capital needs. We increased the estimates
for the Real Estate Excise Tax to better reflect recent experience, which we believe will provide
approximately $500,000 each year in capital funding, after meeting debt service obligations. With this
amount and one-time sources generated from the prosperous economy and the hiring freeze, we are
able to assemble $2.8 million to add for 2001/2002 capital needs, adding to the $44.8 million in
available capital funding.
Transportation Projects Funding: In addition to the $18.1 million transportation project already
funded, I am recommending Council allocate $1.3 million to a number of transportation projects for
a total of $19.9 million in transportation improvements. The proposed funding includes $835,000
for grant matching funds for Phase II of SR-99. This represents approximately half of the projected
matching funding needed for this important transportation project. In addition, I am recommending
the inclusion of 2 signals, and 2 pedestrian improvement projects.
Pro.qrams for Family and Youth: The capital budget will allocate $741,000 to a variety of park
improvements with focus on family and youth, including a $32,000 King County fee-in-lieu balance
we received. We will be putting $255,000 in the Sacajawea, Lakota, and Saghalie Parks for field
lighting and irrigation systems; $32,000 to replace the play equipment at Heritage Woods Park;
$96,000 for major maintenance and rehabilitation of the Steel Lake beach house, restrooms,
woodshop, Steel Lake Annex restrooms, and resurfacing the tennis court at Sacajawea Park.
The balance of $358,000 will be used for Dumas Bay Centre. $258,000 will provide the 50% City
match to the ALEA grant for the Centre's shoreline restoration; and $100,000 will be used to
complete the carpet replacement project, repair the irrigation system, and repair the roof. The
centre is currently making a small profit from its operations. I recommend Council establish a
policy that such earnings be retained in the fund and reserved for future capital
renovation/rehabilitation projects.
Police/Court Facility Implementation: I recommend the City set aside $750,000 for the
permanent public safety facility as a contribution on behalf of the court element of the project.
With these allocations, we are able to substantially fund most short-term capiial needs of the City in
this budget period using the one-time and on-going REET. We do not believe the one-time funds will
continue at past levels as we move towards estimating major revenues more realistically than in the
past. To continue to meet the community's future capital needs, it will clearly be necessary to identify
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
additional dedicated revenue sources for our capital and transportation improvement programs. While
no Council action is recommended at this time to increase capital financing levels, we believe this is an
important discussion that should take place in the community. Therefore, we recommend the City
start a forum for these discussions in the new year and craft a capital financial plan in the next biennial
budget process for Council's consideration.
3. Improve Communication of and Accessibility to Government Services:
The budget includes a number of programs addressing traditional and new technological
communication and service delivery to provide governmental services on TV and the Internet.
· On the traditional front, this budget funds the expansion of the semi-annual City Update newsletter to
a quarterly issue. This publication reaches 40,000 homes and businesses and is still the most widely
accessible method of communication for many residents.
· On the new technology front, the City has invested resources in the past to develop its website. The
site is now visited frequently and is averaging 7,500 hits per month. In comparison, we receive
approximately 2,500 incoming calls at our center switchboard (the "4000" line) per month. The
importance of this tool is widely recognized. In addition, the 24-hour availability makes this the most
convenient option to access city information for many users, residents and businesses alike.
The proposed budget requests 1 new position, funded in part by elimination of a part-time position,
and a $25,000 one-time investment to develop web access and interface for the recreation registration
program. We will also be developing web access and interfaces for our permit and business license
systems as part of Phase II permit tracking system that was funded in the last budget cycle. The staff
position will both support the timely update of web-based information as well as support the
development and maintenance of these new web-based applications.
4. Employee Benefit Considerations:
The proposed budget includes a general salary and benefit increase for non-represented employees
that is consistent with those employees who are represented by bargaining groups. This includes a
90% of CPI-W wage adjustment for a majority of the employees and an increase in the City's
contribution for medical premium for dependents from 80% to 90%. With the guild contract expiring at
the end of 2000, we have included an amount equal to 90% of the projected CPI for the next two
years. We are also recommending the City extend the employee medical plan to elected officials
starting 2001. The plan will cover only the councilmembers, not their dependents or spouses.
5. Other Budget Changes:
In addition to the above programs, there are other changes I am recommending with this budget
proposal that I would like to highlight for you.
· I am recommending the Council fund the $25,000 annual enhancement to the Arts Commission
budget with General Fund monies, on a one-time basis. This will allow the $90,000 per year lodging
tax receipts to be allocated more directly to tourism and promotional efforts. The Lodging Tax
Advisory Committee has yet to identify its recommendation on the use of these funds and the specific
proposed use of the funds will be transmitted to Council as soon as it is received from the Committee;
· I am recommending some adjustments to the recreational program fees to increase the revenue
generated from these programs by $27,000 per year. With the higher recreation revenue expected, I
recommend we restore the $25,000 funding for the senior program which was cut due to the loss of
grant funding from King County during the last budget cycle;
· Allocate $204,000 to conduct comprehensive planning and preannexation zoning for the city's
potential annexation area to provide a blueprint for managing growth in that area;
· With the development of standards for the Endangered Species Act underway and required
compliance with NPDES requirements, I am recommending one additional position in the Surface
Water Utility, and additional one-time funds for consultant assistance to start the planning and
6
2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
development process to implement these regulations. This is the first-step of a long and potentially
expensive journey to protect our natural resources.
These and other changes represents a total of $1.3 million in one-time and $260,000 in on-going
allocations in the General Fund; and $210,000 in one-time and $190,000 in on-going additions to the
enterprise funds.
Fee Adjustments:
To continue the City Council's 1998 action to systematically review and adjust all service fees, the proposed
budget includes inflationary adjustments to land use and permit fees in the community development and public
works areas and to adjust recreation class fees based on the cost of offering these classes and a market
comparison. The increase in land use and building permit fees will offset the anticipated slight decrease in the
development activities in the next two years and the increase in recreation fees is expected to generate
$27,000 in additional revenues.
CONCLUSION
This budget is an effort to comprehensively address the City's service and capital investment needs for the next
two years. It does not satisfy all the demands placed on the City. It is, however, a budget that addresses the top
priorities identified by the community and the Council. It accomplishes this through estimating our existing
revenues realistically but without new taxes, allocating internal support charges to enterprise funds, and through
reducing costs where possible but without significantly impacting service delivery. It provides for a compensation
and benefit package providing equity and a base to recruit and retain quality employees. Finally, it incorporates
inflationary adjustments on fee and property tax collections for a more equitable way to maintain all city services.
In presenting this proposed budget to the council, I would like to acknowledge and express appreciation to the
Department of Management Services for their assistance in preparing the proposed budget. In addition I would
like to express my appreciation to the department directors for their creativity and thoughtfulness in presenting
draft departmental budgets. Given the pressure of revenue loss with other incremental service expectations, this
has been a difficult year to develop the proposed budget. I wish to thank staff for their dedication in the effort.

CITY OF FEDERAl- WAY 200'//2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
SUMMARY OF DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS
Under P, CW 39.36.020(2), the public may vote to approve bond issues for general government in an amount not to
exceed 2.5% of the value of all taxable property within the City. Within the 2.5% limit, the City Council may approve
bond issUes not to exceed 1.5% of the City's assessed valuation. Prior to the passage of new legislation in 1994, the
statutory limit on councilmanic (non-voted) debt for general government purposes was 0.75% of assessed valuation.
Another 0.75% of councilmanic debt was available only for lease-purchase contracts (RCW 35.43.200). Now, these
two components have been combined and can be used for any municipal purpose, including using the entire 1.5% for
bonds. The City's remaining debt capacity within the 2.5% limit is estimated to be $77,229,720.
Under RCW 39.36.030(4), the public may also vote to approve park facilities and utility bond issues, each of which is
assessed valuation. A total of

of the Valley Communications Dispatch Center bonds issued
jointly with 4 other cities in the fall of 2000. Due to the timing of Annual Debt Service by Funding
the issue, the debt service to maturity amount is estimated at this
Source
time. Real Estate Excise Tax and Utility Tax are the two primary
sources to meet the City's general obligation debt services. The
1995, 1996 transportation bonds as well as the 1997 Civic
Utility Tax
Improvement program bonds are financed by utility tax revenue,
which represents 50% of the principal amount outstanding and
62% of annual debt service payment.
Public Works Trust Fund Loan: The City has borrowed a $1.55
million loan in 1994 and an additional $2.75 million in 2000 at 1%
for 20 years from the State's Public Works Trust Fund (PW'I'F) to
finance specific surface water improvement projects. The PVVTF 5.0./°
is a revolving loan account managed by the State to provide
below market rate financing for health and safety related public
works improvement projects through a competitive application process. These loans are the obligation of the Surface
Water Utility and backed by the rates collected from users thus not considered as the City's general obligation debts nor
are they subject to the limitation of indebtness calculation. Table 3 shows debt service to maturity for all obligations by
type of obligation, including the Public Works Trust Fund Loans.

2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAL WA Y
I~w DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Responsible Manager: Bob Sterbank, Interim City Attorney
HIGHLIGHTS/CHANGES:
2001 Proposed Expenditures by The proposed 2001/2002 Budget includes several changes to
Category further the public safety portion of the Department's mission.
These changes include conversion of the contract prosecutor to
Personnel a full-time employee. The contract prosecutor which was
59.5% approved by the City Council in 1998 in response to both the
Regional Justice Center Court (RJC) Calendar occurring six
days a week in Kent, Washington and a 33% increase in criminal
Inter Gov't citations and infraction filings. The RJC Court Calendar will
0.2% continue in 2001/2002 and the number of criminal filings is
Supplies Svc/Chg anticipated to remain steady at an increased rate.
0.7% Interl=und 31,8%
7.8% As part of the City Manager recommended new programs, the
Criminal Division professional services line item is proposed to
be reduced by 19.8% in 2001 and 12.1% in 2002, on top of the
3.7% reduction proposed by the Law Department. This
reduction reflects the completion of a successful transfer of the City's contract for public defender services to a private
law firm, which provides better and more cost effective services. The reduction was made possible in part by
successful early renegotiation of the public defense contract, in advance of the current contract's December 31, 2000
expiration. These savings help offset the cost of the conversion of the contract prosecutor position and preserve
existing service levels notwithstanding budget reductions that might otherwise be necessitated by 1-695.

200f/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAL WA Y
Management Services Department Overview
Responsible Manager: Iwen Wang, Management Services Director
2001 Proposed Expenditures by HiGHLIGHTS/CHANGES:
Category Overall, the department's proposed 2001 budget totals $3.95
Personnel million, an increase of $274,789, or 7.5% from the 2000 original
49.4% budget, and $122,856 or 3.2% from the adjusted budget.
~~ Svc/Chg
~o.~o,~ The change between the original and adjusted budget is mainly
due to changes in internal service fund operations associated
with the new programs approved by Council during the mid-
biennium budget review. The second contributing factor is an
7.8% increase in personnel costs associated with upgrades and step
Inte~fund Capital InterGovt increases.
7.7% 0.2% 4.1% In addition to these two changes, the department has also
experienced significant increases in contracted goods and
services again primarily in the Internal Service Fund operations.
To limit the impact of these increase the department made approximately $80,000 in line-item reductions in all
operating divisions to accommodate the unavoidable cost increases. Some of the increases are: vehicle and
equipment maintenance/operation costs due to much of the fleet equipment having exceeded its' expected service
lives; a significantly higher support cost in information systems due to increased user licenses and the new
applications implemented in the last two years, as well as those currently being implemented; and higher copier costs
due to increased overall volume and higher maintenance and operation costs for the leased copiers acquired in the
last couple of years.
Because of the initial line-item cuts already taken, the additional 5% or $160,000 reduction target is more difficult to
identify than anticipated. Over $130,000 or 85% of the proposed reductions is from the elimination of three currently
vacant positions. This includes a half time IS Technician position we were unable to fill, and which is currently covered
by full-time temporary personnel. We believe this position is critical to the department's ability to maintain the
technology demands that is expected of the department and the city; therefore a new program request to add back a
full-time position is included in the proposal for consideration.
The remaining 2.5 eliminated positions consist of one Human Resource Analyst, one Finance Technician, and a half
time Administrative Assistant in the Administrative Division. To accomplish this staff reduction while minimizing impact
to internal and external customers, the Department reassigned various functions performed by each division.

CITY O!= FEDERAl- WA Y 2001/2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF
PARKS, RECREATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Responsible Manager: Jennifer Schroder, Director
HIGHLiGHTS/CHANGES: 2001 Proposed Expenditures by
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department Category
(PRCS) consists of three divisions: Administration, Maintenance
Operations, and Recreation, which also administers the two
enterprise operations -- Dumas Bay Centre, and Knutzen Family personnel Inter Govt'l
Theatre. A change is being made in the way the department 47.9% 0.3%
accounts for the maintenance of city office buildings. In the
past, City Hall maintenance was accounted for in the Building & upplies
Furnishing Internal Service Fund while all the other facilities 6.0%
maintained separate sets of building maintenance accounts
within their budgets. Starting with the 2001/2002 budget, we are Interfund ~
Svc/Chgs
consolidating all building related activities into the centralized 9.5°/° 7.0% Debt Capital 29.1%
Internal Service Fund this will allow for more efficient 0.3%
coordination, better economy of scale in purchasing various
services, and improved accountability. This change and the
addition of the court facility, totals $213,188, this accounts for the majority of the $248,777 increase in the departments
base-line budget. The change also impacts the budget line items in all General Fund divisions due to a reclassification
of maintenance supplies and contracts to internal service fund charges.
The department's proposed budget includes an increase in recreation class revenues of $27,000; eliminates the
vacant deputy director's position; restructures the overall department operations; supports the Red, VVhite and Blue
community celebration and the life guards during the summer months at Steel Lake Park with one-time funds; and
charges $13,000 in direct supervision to the Retreat and Theatre operations for a total on-going expenditure reduction
of $127,755 in 2001 and $130,706 in 2002. The proposed budget will also restore/replace a number of previous
program cuts to allow the department to restore resources diverted from other parks to care for Celebration Park and
to maintain existing parks in reasonable condition. The overall on-going and one-time increase recommended total
$218,000, excluding equipment purchases.
Other significant changes in the proposed budget are to fund a portion of Arts Commission's budget with General Fund
which was previously funded through the Hotel/Motel Tax and to restore the portion of the Senior Services budget that
was previously funded with one-time funding ($25,000) to an on-going basis.

200'//2002 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF CITY OF FEDERAL WA Y
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Responsible Manager: Cary Roe, Public Works Director
HIGHLIGHTS/CHANGES:
2001 Proposed Expenditures By AMANDA Permit Trackin.q System: In December of 1999, the City
Category implemented the AMANDA Permit Tracking System for
development of projects. Development Services review staff are
Svc/Chg using the system to track all project reviews, review
Personnel 16.3% correspondence, fees, code variances and bond activities
38.3% associated with development projects. Public Works Inspection
staff are using the system to track activities and correspondence.
= Inter Govt
7.8% Development Standards Manual: In the fall of 1999, Development
supplies Services Staff initiated the creation of a Public Works
2.0% Interfund Capital Development Standards Manual that compiles all adopted
13.7% 21.9% development requirement into one document.
Surface Water Mana.qement: Due to the impacts of the
.
Endangered Species Act (ESA) and NPDES permit requirements
on the Surface Water Program, additional staff and consultant services are required for watershed assessment, capital
project review, maintenance and manual development, outreach and public involvement.
Solid Waste & Recycling Services Assessments: The contract with the current solid waste collection service (Federal
Way Disposal, a.k.a. Waste Management, Inc.) expires at the end of 2001. Staff will continue work initiated during the
past three years to complete re-bidding or re-negotiating a new franchise agreement. Funds totaling $15,000 are
budgeted in 2001 to ensure completion of this process, and funding of $10,000 is allocated in 2002 to provide ongoing
financial and operational review, specifically in areas such as disposal site tracking, route service labor validation, and
equipment use.
Commute Trip Reduction: King County Metro, under a city contract, will continue to support City staff in the
maintenance and enhancement of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans for 17 employer sites in Federal
Way.
Solid Waste & Recycling Grants: Grants continue to support many successful programs, such as recycling events,
hazardous waste education, and other programs, forming a substantial funding base fog the Solid Waste and
Recycling program. State grant funding available in 2002 is expected to decrease from past levels. Grants are
anticipated to remain available for items such as recycling events and business recycling promotion services through
2002.
Concurrency/Traffic Impact Fee: Staff will be developing a Concurrency Management Program and Traffic Impact Fee
System to assure adequate transportation mobility is maintained.
In-House Street Maintenance Crew: Because of the conversion from contracted street maintenance into an in-house
street maintenance crew, the street division budget was restructured to reflect this change, therefore, new line items
that were not part of the base budget were added, and funds were redistributed to the appropriate line items and
object codes.
Ri,qht-of-Way Landscapin.q: The base budget for right-of-way landscape maintenance services was increased by
$42,000 due to the additional landscaping maintenance of South 320th Street corridor (I-5 to 11~h Place South) and
other bond-funded projects. Also, $25,000 was reallocated for water billing for the irrigation system installed for new
landscaping within the City right-of-way.
