Amendments to King County Countywide Planning Policies
October 29,1998
To:
From:
I.
BACKGROUND
The city has received a request from King County to review and ratifY an amendment to the King
County 2012 Countywide Planning Policies (KCCPP's) (Exhibit A). Generally, the amendments
include the following:
1.
Amend the Urban Growth Area (UGA) by classifYing 1,346 acres of the unincorporated
portions of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and Coal Creek Park from Urban
to Rural (Exhibit B).
2.
Amend Countywide Planning Policy CO-14 to allow sewer service for public facilities in
Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
II.
HISTORY
May 27, 1998 Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) adopted Motion 98-3 (Exhibit C)
which recommends these amendments
Sept 7, 1998 Per Ordinance No. 13260 (Exhibit D), the King County Council approved and
ratified this amendment on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County
Dec 6, 1998
Federal Way will have been deemed to have ratified the amendment unless the
amendment is disapproved by legislative action
III.
DISCUSSION
This amendment was initiated by the cities of Belle vue, Issaquah, and Newcastle who requested
a change in the UGA to exclude the unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain Regional
Wildland Park and Coal Creek Park from the UGA (See attached King County Council Staff
Report -- Exhibit E).
Land Use Transportation Committee
Page 2
October 29, 1998
1.
Cou!!:ar Mountain Re!!:ional Wildland Park
The UGA currently bisects Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, resulting in half of
the park being designated as Urban and the other half being designated as Rural. County
policy dictates that any areas designated as Urban must be part of the adjacent
jurisdiction's potential annexation area (PAA).
The policy decision to designate a portion of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park as
Urban was originally made to permit the extension of a sewer line into the future Park
Visitor Center. Since then, Policy F-313 of the King County Comprehensive plan has been
amended to allow tightlined public sewers to be extended outside of the UGA to serve
public facilities. As a result, there is no longer a need for any portion of Cougar Mountain
Regional Wildland Park to be in the UGA. This amendment would also make a change to
Countywide Planning Policy CO-14 to specifically allow sewer expansion to serve Cougar
Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
2.
Coal Creek Park
Coal Creek Park is presently designated Urban. Both the cities of Belle vue and Newcastle
have included Coal Creek Park in their P AA. However, this park is clearly rural in nature,
and based on information received trom King County staff, neither Bellevue nor Newcastle
is interested in annexing it. The amendment to exclude Coal Creek Park ITom the UGA and
changing its designation ITom Urban to Rural would result in additional rural policies to
protect the park.
IV.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment does not directly affect the City of Federal Way and complies with the
intent of the Growth Management Act. Staff recommends that the LUTC forward a
recommendation of approval to the full city council and vote to ratify the proposed amendment to
the KCCPP's.

Dear Mayor Gintz:
Weare pleased to forward for your consideration and ratification the enclosed l!IIlendment to the
King County 2012 Countywide Planning Policies.
The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) met on May 27, 1998 and approved
Motion 98-3 which recommends an amendment to the Urban Growth Area by reclassifying
1,346 acres of the unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and
Coal Creek Park from urban to rural. The motion also recommends an amendment to
Countywide Planning Policy CO-14 to allow sewer service for public facilities in Cougar
Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
On September 7th, the King County Council approved and ratified tills amendment on behalf of
the population of unincorporated King County. A copy of King County Ordinance 13260 is
enclosed to assist you in your review of this amendment, along with a council staff report.
As you know, amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies become effective when ratified
by ordinance or resolution by at least 30 percent of the city and county governments representing
70 percent of the population of King County according to the Intedocal agreement. A city will
be deemed to have ratified the Countywide Planning Policy unless, within 90 days of adoption
by King County, the city by legislative action disapproves the Countywide Planning Policy.
Please be aware that the 90-day deadline in this instance is December 6, 1998. If you have any
questions about this amendment or the ratification process, please feel free to contact Kamuron
Gurol, Senior Policy Analyst for the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning, at (206) 205-0705,
or Laurie Smith, Legislative Analyst, for the Metropolitan King County Council,

A MOTION by the Growth Management Planning Council
of King County amending the Urban Growth Area to exclude
unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain Regional
Wildland Park, Coal Creek [County] Park, and county-
owned land.
WHEREAS, the Washington State Growth Management Act, RCW 36.70A.II0 requires
counties to designate an urban growth area or areas within which urban growth shall be -
encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban: in nature; and
WHEREAS, the Countywide Planning Policies, adopted in 1992 and amended in 1994,
designate urban growth areas and further permit the designation of additional rural areas -
through the adoption of a land use map authorized by the Growth Management Planning
Council; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Belle vue, Issaquah, and Newcastle, along with King County,
petitioned the Growth Management Planning Council to amend the Urb'!ll Growth Area,
designating as rural 1,346 acres of the unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain
R¿gional Wildland Park, Coal Creek [County] Park and certain county-owned land in order
to truly reflect long term use and community desires for the two parks' role in the region's
park system; and
. . -... - ... . .
WHEREAS, a rural designation of these areas meets two Countywide Planning Policies
criteria for additional rural lands designation, namely, LU-23(b) the rural designation
serves as a buffer for designated resource lands or sensitive areas, and LU-23(f) the area
has outstanding scenic, historic, and/or aesthetic value that can best be protected by rural
land uses and densities; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of this motion to not increase the allocation of the acreage of
rural lands included in either the 4: I program as specified in Countywide Planning Policy
FW-l (step 7) or technical changes as specified in policy FW-I (step 8c); and

sUBJECT:
An Ordinance adopting an amendment to the Countywide Planning Policies pursuant to RCW 36. 70A.21 0;
ratifYing tlæ amended Countywide Planning Policies for unincorporaœd King County; amcnding Ordinance 10450,
Sections 3 and 4, as amended, and K.C.C- 20.10.030 andK.C.C: 20.10.040.
BACKGROUND:
The Urban Growth Area. (UGA) Boundary currently bisects Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, rendering it
halfurban, half rural. This policy decision was made during'the initial adoption of the UGA to permit the>
extension ora sewer line into the future> Park Visitor Center. On April 22, 1998 the> Cities ofBelle>vue, Issaquah
and Newcastle, reque>sted that the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) consider a change in the UGA
boundary to c:xclude the unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and Coal Creek
Park.
After the initial adoption of the King County Comprehensive Plan in 1994, Policy F-313 was amended to allow
tightlined public sewers to be extended outside the UGA to serve public faciljties. As a. result, there is no longer a
need for Cougar Mountain Park to be included in the> UGA. The change also reflccts the Rural nature of these
parks, and adds the stmlgth of the CoUnty's Rural Area policies to the me>asures in place for their protection. The
half-urban statUs of Cougar Mountain park creates a potenti~ impression in thc surrounding communities that the
parkland may b.e urbanized. Additionally, County policy dic:tates that if any portion of the area were to remain
urban, even as an Urban Separator, an adjacent jurisdiction would need to place it in their Potential Annexation
Area (P AA). The cities of Bellcvue and Ncwcastle have both included Coal Cre>e>k Park in their P Ms.
Designating the park rural resolves that issue, and clearly cotnmunicates the future usc of the park.
The GMPC met on May 27, 1998 and voted to pass an amendment to the King County 2012 - Countywide>
Planning Policies [5125/94], Policy CO-I 4 to allow se>wer expansion into Cougar Mountain Re>gional Wildland
Park. At that same mee>ting, the> GMPC voted to amend the> urban growth area by reclassifYing 1,346 acres of the>
unincorporated portions of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Parle and Coal Creek Park, from urban to rural. In
order for the amendment to become policy, it must be adopte>d by King County and ratified by the citie>s,
SUMMARY: '
Proposed Ordinance 98-480 would adopt an amendment to Countywicle}'lanning Policy Co-14 to allow sewer
. expansion into Cougar Mowrtain Regional Wildland Park, and reclassify the unincorporate>d portions of Cougar
Mountain and Coal Cre>ek Parks from Urban to Rural. The ordinance also ratifies the amendment on behalf of the>
citizens of unincoporated King countY.
Amendments to the Countywide Pla.nning Policies become effective whe>n ratified by ordinance or resolution by B1
least 30% of the city and county governments represe>nting 70% of the> population of King County according to the
Interlocal agreement. A city shall bè deemed to bave ratifie>d the countywide planning policy unless, within 90
days of adoption by King CountY, they citY by legislative action disapproves the countywidc planning policy,

A TT ACHMENTS: Agreement for Division of Real Property
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The City, Lakehaven Utility District and the Fire District acquired certain real
property located at 31531 1st Avenue South, Federal Way, Washington ("Property"), previously known as
Golfun, pursuant to an Agreement for Joint Ownership of the Property dated January 15, 1991 ("Purchase
Agreement"). Under the Purchase Agreement, the City acquired an undivided Y, interest in the Property
and made this portion of the Property available to the public as French Lake Park. Under the Purchase
Agreement, the parties were to enter into a subsequent agreement providing for the division and allocation
of the real property among the parties. Lakehaven subsequently purchased the Fire District's interest and
currently has an undivided Y2 interest in the property.
The attached Agreement for Division of Real Property ("Division Agreement') proposes to divide the site
into 2 separate parcels of 4.68 acres with the City retaining the easterly portion currently developed as a
park located along First Avenue South, as more particularly shown in the drawing attached as Exhibit "B"
to the Division Agreement. The Division Agreement further provides that the parties shall share the use
of the existing access from First Avenue South and the existing parking lot (Lakehaven's use shall be
limited to access and parking necessitated to utilize the existing modular building and not for future
connections to any adjacent property). The parties have agreed to share the cost of maintenance and repair
to the First Avenue South access road and the parking lot as long as Lakehaven continues to need the use
of these facilities associated with the modular building.
The Division Agreement also provides for the reservation of an access right of way along the northern
portion of the City's parcel for the benefit of a subsequent owner to the Lakehaven parcel if such
subsequent owner determines that developing this right of way is preferable to utilizing the existing access
from the Lakehaven site along 2nd Avenue South.
The division of the Property will be by Boundary Line Adjustment with the parties jointly sharing the cost
of such application, review and approval. Upon execution of the Division Agreement, reciprocal statutory
warranty deeds will be recorded to finalize the division.

III.
DECISIONAL CRITERIA
Pursuant to Section 20-136 of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC), if the City Council
finds that the following criteria have been met, the City Council may approve the final
plat for recording.
CRITERION #1 - The final plat is in substantial conformance to the preliminary plat.
Response - The final plat is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary
plat. Tract A, the open space tract, has been modified from preliminary plat through
relocation of the bioswale facility. Based on conditional approval by the Federal Way
Hearing Examiner, the bioswale facility was relocated west of Blackberry Hill into the
adjacent Teabos Depression, a drainage facility owned by the city. The resulting Tract A
is not encumbered by any drainage facilities or improvements. This criterion has been
met.
CRITERION #2 - The final plat is in conformity with applicable zoning ordinances or other
land use controls.
Response - Applicable zoning ordinances and land use controls include the FWCC
Chapter 20, Subdivisions, and Chapter 22, Zoning. Article III ofFWCC Chapter 20,
Sections 20-151 through 20-187 address subdivision design criteria, including open
space, streets, and traffic. The FWCC includes standards for structural setbacks, street
lighting, and lot coverage.
Subdivision design is in compliance because traffic from the subdivision connects to
South 312th Street, a principal collector street. The lots are accessed via public rights of
way. The road within the plat was designed and constructed to Federal Way cui de sac
standards. Third Court South has 50 feet of right of way, 28 feet of pavement, five foot
sidewalks, four foot planter strips, and a six inch vertical curb. No additional
improvements to South 312th Street or dedication was required of the applicant.

Under FWCC Section 20-1 54, Cluster subdivision, in order to promote open space and the
protection of natural features such as trees and wetlands, lots may be reduced in size and
placed in clusters on the site. Lots created in cluster subdivisions may be below the
minimum lot size requirements of FWCC Chapter 22, zoning. provided the total number
of lots created does not exceed the number of lots which would be permitted in a
conventional subdivision on a site of the same total area, after reservation of required
open space.
The II lots in the Blackberry Hill subdivision are reduced in size and are clustered at the
southern end of the site, in order to preserve a large stand of mature trees on the north
side of the site. Ten of the lliots are less than the minimum lot size ofFWCC Section
22-631, Detached dwelling unit, as allowed by the cluster subdivision provisions. Based
on a drawing provided by the applicant depicting conventional subdivision layout, the
Blackberry Hill cluster subdivision does not exceed the number of lots which would be
permitted in a conventional subdivision. Minimum yard and setbacks per FWCC Section
22-631 are depicted on the face of the plat, Exhibit C, page 1 of 3.
The open space established with the cluster subdivision is known as tract A on Exhibit C,
page 1 of 3 of the plat. Tract A is defined as an Native Growth Protection Easement
(NGPE) in Exhibit C. note 5, page 3 of 3. Restrictive covenants have been submitted with
the final plat application, which further protect Tract A from further subdivision or
development.
Applicable zoning ordinances and other land use controls have been met.
CRiTERiON #3 - All conditions of the Hearing Examiner and/or City Council have been
satisfied.
Response - The Responsible Official issued a Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance for the Blackberry Hill preliminary plat on February 22, 1994, with two
conditions. The preliminary plat application was reviewed by the Federal Way Hearing
Examiner at a May 13, 1994, hearing. His recommendation to approve the plat was
forwarded to the Federal Way City Council. The City Council, at their June 7, 1994
meeting, remanded the preliminary plat back to the Hearing Examiner to address impacts
to the wetland, traffic, access, and storm drainage. Following a second hearing on August
2, 1994, the Hearing Examiner forwarded a recommendation to the Council. At their
September 6, 1994 meeting, the Federal Way City Council approved the preliminary plat
application without conditions.
The Responsible Official issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance for
intrusions into the wetland buffer on Dccember 13, 1995. with one condition. A hearing
EXHIBIT Pr
PAGE~OF -'1L-
Staff Report - Final Plat Report
Blackberry Hill
Page 5
was conducted by the Federal Way Hearing Examiner on July 30, 1996, to review the
request to locate a bioswale and sewer line within the wetland setback area. That Process
II request was approved by the Hearing Examiner in his August 12, 1996 decision. The
various conditions of approval and the status of those conditions is noted below:
I.
Compliance With SEPA Mitigation Measures
A) Mitigated Determination of Non significance (MONS) for SEP 92-0012 was
issued on February 22, 1994, with the following conditions.
1)
The applicant shall provide on-site storm water runoff control in
accordance with city standards and policies and recommendation BW-2 of
the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Executive Proposed Basin
Plan.
Staff Response: This mitigation measure has been met. Based on data
provided in the Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Touma
Engineers, the subdivision is exempt from the onsite storm water runoff
control. This TIR showed that the I DO-year flow for the site prior to
development was 0.30 cfs and the 100-year flow for the site developed
would be a 0.76 cfs, a difference of 0.46 cfs increase. The 1990 King
County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) threshold for storm
water detention is 0.5 cfs or greater; this project falls below that threshold.
2)
Storm water runoff control shall be provided on-site unless the applicant
elects to located the required on-site detention in the Teabos Depression, a
low topographic feature west of the site. In the later-case, the applicant
shall be required to convert the depression into a public regional storm
water detention facility sized to discharge the runoff from the entire
upstream basin at the pre-developed basin runoff rate for the 2- year, 10-
year and 1 DO-year, 7-day storm event. The active storm water storage level
in this depression shall be set to provide a minimum of one foot of
freeboard for any structure in the area as identified in the Storm Drainage
Analysis for Blackberry Hill Preliminary Plat submitted July 26, 1992. This
conversion shall include acquiring any necessary easements and liability
releases from affected property owners, modification of the outlet controls
next to South 312th Street, and excavation for any deficient storage
volume. A Late Comers Agreement may be executed upon completion of
the conversion to recover a proportionate share of the expenses for future
developers in the subject basin.

Staff Report - Final Plat Report
Blackbeny Hill
Page 6
Staff Response: This mitigation measure has been met. Based on data
presented at the August 2, 1994 hearing, the storm drainage analysis
documented that 3.5 feet offreeboard is available in the Hylebos
Depression prior to any construction. As the necessary overflow room is
available, no easements, liability releases of agreements will be required.
B) A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) for SEP 95-0034 was
issued on May 22, 1996, with the following condition.
"Add the following elements to the December 13, 1995, conceptual mitigation
plan as a condition of SEP A approval: I) Planting plan; 2) Plant Schedule; 3)
Planting details; 4) Annual monitoring for five years to assess plant material
vigor and survival. Reports need to be submitted to the city by August I of each
monitoring year; 5) Planting must achieve a success rate of 80 percent; 6) Final
as built drawings and an as-built report will need to be submitted to the City of
Federal Way within one month from the time of completing the installation of
the plantings; and 7) The applicant shall pay for the cost of the annual
monitoring conducted by the city's contracted wetland biologist."
Staff Response: The status of this mitigation measure is as follows:
I)
Planting Plan - A Wetland Setback Revegetation Plan prepared June 18,
1996 ,by Terra Associates, Inc. was submitted on June 24, 1996 (Exhibit
H). The revegetation plan was approved by staff on December 18, 1997.
Plant Schedule - The revegetation plan contains a plant schedule with plant
sizes and quantities.
Planting Details - The revegetation plan included a planting details.
Annual monitoring for five years to assess plant material vigor and
survival. Reports need to be submitted to the city by August I of each
monitoring year. - A contract currently executed with Sheldon and
Associates will cover monitoring for five years.
Planting must achieve a success rate of 80 percent. - This information was
included in planting plan, and will be verified by the monitoring.
Final as built drawings and an as-built report will need to be submitted to
the City of Federal Way within one month from the time of completing the
installation of the plantings. - The revegetation plantings were installed
during the week of October 19 through 23, 1998, as recommended in the
revegetation plan. The applicant submitted a October 26, 1998, letter which
stating that as the vegetation was installed per the approved plan, that plan
would constitute the as-built submittal. The installation of the vegetation
was field verified by city staff and found to be installed per the approved
plan.

7)
The applicant shall pay for the cost of the annual monitoring conducted by
the city's contracted wetland biologist. - The applicant has provided
payment for the monitoring contract in a check received on October 15,
1998.
II. Conditions of Hearing Examiner Decision, August 12, 1996, UPR95-0033.
I)
The applicant must secure from the City of Federal Way's Department of Public
Works, Surface Water Division, an easement for placement of the sanitary
sewer line and infiltration swale.
Staff Response: This condition has been met. As the applicant was able to
install the sanitary sewer line in the center of the right of way and not in the
Teabos Depression, the aforementioned easements were not necessary. The
biofiltration swale is already located on City of Federal Way property;
additional easements are not required.
2)
To guard against breakage and possible surface water contamination, the
diagonal portion of the sewer line (that section that traverses through the
wetland buffer) must be constructed of ductile iron.
Staff Response: This condition has been met. Ductile iron was used to
construct the sewer line, which is now located in the right of way.
CRITERION #4 - That the public use and interest shall be served by the establishment of
the subdivision and dedication by determining if appropriate provisions are made for, but
limited to, the public health, safety, general welfare, open spaces, drainage ways, transit
stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools,
and school grounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and
other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to
and from school.
Response -
Open Space, Parks, and Recreation - Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-155(b), Open
space and recreation, all residential subdivisions are required to provide open space
in the amount of 15 percent of the gross land area of the subdivision site (or if under
five acres, make payment of fee in lieu of per FWCC 19-41). The plat of Blackberry
Hill establishes usable and conservation open spaces in Tract A. (Usable open space
consists of areas which have appropriate topography, soils, drainage and size to be
considered for development as active recreation areas. Conservation open space is
EXHIBIT II'

Page g
areas which contain special natural or physical amenities or environmentally
sensitive features, the conservation of which would benefit surrounding properties or
the community as a whole. Such areas may include stands of large trees.) Exhibit D,
page 3 of 3, note #6, indicates that a portion of tract A amounting to 10 percent of
the required open space of the entire plat is established as usable open space. This
usable open space, noted on Exhibit D. Page 1 of 3, is 1,673 square feet is size and
satisfies the usable open space requirement. The balance of tract A is conservation
open space.
In a September 29, 1997 letter, city staff supported the change in lot configuration
which resulted in relocation of the drainage facilities out of Tract A. This resulted in
an increase in usable open space at the site. The applicant has exceeded the required
open space obligation with the cluster subdivision by establishing 33.7 percent ofthe
2.34 acre site in open space. This open space is not part of an adopted Parks and
Recreation Comprehensive Plan, and will be dedicated to the Blackberry Hill Home
Owners Association.
The applicant will not be required to pay open space fees as the final plat of
Blackberry Hill provides sufficient open space opportunities.
Drainage Ways - The subdivision has a storm drainage system designed and
constructed in accordance with the surface water management requirements in
FWCC Section 21-26 et seq., and the storm and surface water utility requirement in
FWCC Section 16-76 et seq. Engineering plans (Exhibit G) which included drainage
and roadways, were reviewed and approved by the City of Federal Way prior to
construction. Biofiltration systems were proposed at the southern portion of tract A
with the preliminary plat application. On May 22, 1996, the Federal Way Hearing
Examiner conditionally approved a request to relocate the bioswale into a regulated
wetland setback area (Exhibit F, page 3). Biofiltration systems and oil water
separation devices were installed within drainage easements immediately west of the
subdivision, within property owned by the City of Federal Way. As the project
produces less than the 0.5cfs than the undeveloped site, the project was exempt from
retention/detention requirements.
Transit - METRO Transit service is available along South 312th Street,
approximately 500 feet east and west of the subdivision. DART pickup can be
arranged by individual residents.
Water and Sewer - All lots in a subdivision shall be served by a water system and
sanitary sewer systems system designed and constructed to the specifications of
Lakehaven Utility District. In an August 27, 1998 letter, the Lakehaven Utility

Page 9
District stated that the sanitary sewer and water distribution systems for the project
are substantially complete. The developer has entered into a supplemental agreement
with the district, and the district has accepted assignment of funds guaranteeing
completion of construction of said distribution systems.
Schools - In addition to the sidewalks required in FWCC Section 22-1471, regarding
requirements to Right of way (ROW) and vehicular easements, the sidewalks
provide pedestrian and bicycle assess and connect the subdivision to established safe
school routes, bikeways, trails, and transit stops. Elementary school students will
walk to Mirror Lake Elementary School via existing sidewalks from this site.
Students at Illahee Junior High and Federal Way High School will be bussed. School
impact fees will be collected with each single family building permit at the time of
permit issuance, based on city ordinance #95-249, as amended.
This criterion has been met.
CRITERION #5 - All required improvements have been made and maintenance bonds or
other security for such improvements have been submitted and accepted.
Response - All road and storm drainage improvements have been constructed. In
addition, all water and sewer lines have been installed. Adequate bonding is in place with
the Lakehaven Utility District and the City of Federal Way. This criterion has been met.
CRITERION #6 - All taxes and assessments owing on the property have been paid.
Response - Prior to being recorded, the plat is reviewed by the King County Department
of Assessments to ensure that all taxes and assessments have been paid.
IV.
CONCLUSION
Based on site visits, review of the final plat maps, construction drawings, and the project
file, staff has determined that the application for final plat approval for Blackberry Hill
meets all platting requirements of RCW 58.17.070 and Section 20-134 of the Federal
Way City Code. City staff is recommending approval of the final plat as submitted and
has prepared the necessary resolution for City Council approval (Exhibit £).

FINDINGS
1.
The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, viewed the site and
taken this matter under advisement.
The Community Development Department staff report sets forth
general findings, applicable policies and provisions in this
matter, and is hereby marked-as Exhibit 1 and incorporated in
this report by reference as though set forth in full herein.
All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Way Zoning Code.
The applicant has.a possessory ownership interest in a 2.34
acre parcel of property located at the northeast cornèrof the
intersection of South 3l2th Street and the proposed Thi.rd
Court South. The site is rectangular in shape with a frontage
of approximately 165 feet on South 312th Street and a depth
of 618 feet. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat
approval to subdivide the southern portion of the site into
eleven single family residential lots. The north portion of
the site. is proposed to remain in open space. The applicant is
proposing to cluster the lots to preserve the forested areas
as open space, and is also seeking approval to intrude into a
100 foot wetland setback as established by Section 22-1357 of
the Federal Way city Code (FWCC). The intrusion is associated
with the construction of Third Court South, a cul-de-sac
providing access to all plat ~ots from South J12th Street.
The property slopes down from east to west and is underlain by
Alderwood and Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam soils. The so~~~.J!t.~
moderately well drained and. have slight '=eXH1S1r~

for erosion. They aLso have moderate limitation for .singLe
family construction. Soils will support the applicant's
proposal.
The site contains second and third growth coniferous and
deciduous trees native to the - northwest. The applicant is
required to either retain 25% of the significant trees or
replant .in conformance with the 25% requirement of the FWCC~
The site is inhabited by small birds and animals, but no
threatened or endangered species. . .
West of the s~te is a natural depression known as the Teabos
Depression. The depression contains a wetland and the
applicant is requesting to reduce the 100 foot wetland buffer
to between 35 and 85 feet. Drainage from the site will either
be .retained on site or will enter the Teabos Depression
through a biofiltration swale.
(
The site is located within the RS-7. 2 zone classification
which allows singLe family residential dwellings as outright
permitted. uses on minimum lot sizes of 7,20.0 square .feet.
Said zone classification also allows a. maximwÌI lot coverage of
60%. Pursuant to Section 20-54 FWCC the applicant is
proposing to cluster the lots on the south portion of the site
adjacent to South 312th Street. Clustering is allowed for the
purpose of promoting open space and the protection of natural
features such as trees and wetlands. However, the minimum
yard setback requirements must be met as well as ~imum site
coverage requirements. The applicant has shown the building
setback litles for each lot on the face of the I?~t- The
applicant is proposing lot sizes between 2,920 square .feet and
6,700 square feet. Lot clustering will allow the preservation
of approximately 38,775 square feet which includes a large
stand of trees in the northern portion. Preservation of the
trees provides a substantial buffer between the neighboring
subdivision to the north. f{' j. J1 1 I +-! 1-

Access to the site is provided by a privat cul-de-sac - '11
constructed to City of Federal Way standar s. Sidewalks will
be constructed on the private road as well as along the
frontage of 312th Street. Landscaping in the nature of a 20
foot Type III buffer will be installed between the homes and
both South 312th Street and 3rd Ct. South.

Considerable testimony from the applicant and residents of the
area concern the storm draiaage plan for the site. The

Depression. A mitigating measure agreed to by the applicant in
the MDNS requires that the applicant raise the storage
capacity of the Teabos basin and acquire easements from
impacted property owners. The applicant agrees to raise the
overflow level, but is concerned about obtaining easements
from affected property owners. Mitigat-ing measures imposed in
the MDNS are not before the Examiner unless an appeal of the
-threshold determination is filed. In this instance no appeal
was filed, and therefore the EXðJJliner has no authority to
change the mitigating measure. However, since the city
contemplates the Teabos Depression as a regional facility as
opposed to a facility to serve this one development that the
~ city should consider assisting the applicant in obtaining the
~necessa~ easements. In the alternative the applicant would
j retain storm water runoff on its own site.
>;<t<J' /
ll. The applicant completed and submitted a traffic .iJnpact
analysis which established that the site will not generate
more than ten vehicle trips during the p.m. peak hour, and
therefore the City will require no traffic mitigation.
Residents of the site will have access to publiç transit.

In accordance with section 20-155(8) FWCC the applicant is
providing 15% of the gross land area of the plat as open
space. The applicant is also providing an additional 23% of
the gross land area for open space for the purpose of tree
preservation. The total sum of open space equals 38%. the
plat will also provide 10% of the required 15% open space as
usable open space.
80th fire flow and domestic water are available to serve the
site. The Federal Way Water and Sewer District wil~'plrovide
sanitary sewers as there i6 a sewer main in the South 312th
Street right of way.
The 1990 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan designates the site as
Suburban Residential. This designation contemplates a
variety of housing types and choices and an economic use of
urban land to discourage sprawl. The proposed subdivision
meets the policies of the Suburban Residential category as set
forth in the Staff Report.
In association with the prelimina~ plat approval the
applicant is requesting to construct a -portion of the plat
roadway within the required setback from the wetland in the
Teabos Depression. section 22-1359(0) FWCC allows the city to
approve a request to locate improvements within a wetland
setback if the applicant can establish that the six crite~ia
set forth therein are met. Findings req~~tifEiÎ1f cri~ia

are hereby made as follows:
A.
The location of the plat road within the wetland buffer
will not adversely affect water quality. The applicant
will collect the storm water drainage from the plat and
direct it to a biofiltration swale prior to discharge
into the Teabos Depression. Furthermore, the alterations
of the depression will not affect water quality.
The incursion into. the wetland buffer will not destroy
nor damage a significant habitat area. The wetland La
presently criss-crossed by two driveways with a third
driveway into the wetland setback. The latter-driveway
will be the location of the proposed plat road. The
buffer is vegetated with alders, blackberry bushes, and
grasses which are not good habitat.
There will be no adverse affects on drainage or storm
water retention capabilities. The .Teabos Depression has
adequate storage to retain the storm water runoff. The
applicant has previously demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the city that discharge of the stormwater into the
depression will not create adverse affects.
Incursion into the buffer will not create unstable earth
conditions nor erosion hazards. Disturbed areas will be
.replanted with native upland vegetation as required by
Section 22-1359 (el FWCC. Erosion control methods in
accordance with Federal Way requirements will be ):equired
during construction.
Reduction of the wetland buffer will not affect..i3.ajacent
property owners nor the city as a whole. The are~ is not
considered open space and provides no scenic vistas.
Incursion of the wetland buffer is necessary for
reasonable development of the p,roperty. Allowing the
small incursion into the wetland setback will ultimately
result in greater preservation of the natural
environmental as it allows the applicant to retain
substantial trees in the open space on the north porti9n
of the plat. '
Both the preliminary plat and the request for a reduction of
the wetland setback are subject to Process III review which
requires the Examiner to make a recommendation to the Federal
Way City Council which in turn makes the final decision.
Prior to making such recommendation, tl:"~ust find
that both reques~s meet the Process II!-~ilJ~l_rr; rpr; "

which are set forth in section 22-490(d) FWCC. Findings
required on each criteria are hereby made as fol~ows:
A.
The proposed plat and setback reduction are consistent
with the Suburban Residential category of the Federal Way
comprehensive Plan. The Suburban Residential category
provides for a density of four to six units per acre
while the applican~' s proposal provides 4.7 units per
acre.
B.
The proposed plat and wetland buffer reduction are
consistent with all app~icáble provisions of the Federal
Way City Code, including the zoning code, environmental
policy code, Methods to Mitigate Development Impacts
Code, and the Subdivision Code, and all other applicable
deve~opment codes and regulations.
/
C.
Approval of the preliminary plat and wet~and reduction
are consistent with the public health, safety, and
we~fare. Approval of the p~at wi~~ permit development of
the site consistent with the Suburban Residential
category of the Comprehensive Plan and RS-7 .2 zone.
The proposed preliminary plat meets the purpose of
subdivisions, as set forth in section 20-2 FWCC. Compliance
with all Federal Way Code provisions relating to plats ensures
that the criteria set forth in Section 20-2 are met. The plat
further meets the design criteria and development standards
set forth in sections 20-151 through 20-157 and 20-178 th~ough
20-187 FWCC as well as RCW 58.17.

Ill. FINDINGS
The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, viewed the property and surrounding area,
admitted documentary evidence into the record, and taken this matter under advisement.
The CommUIÚty Development Department staff report sets forth general fIDdings,
applicable policies and provisions in this matter, and is hereby marked as Exhibit 1 and
incorporated in this report by reference as though set forth in full herein.
All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the Federal
Way Zoning Code.
On May 3, 1994, the Examiner issued a written recommendation to the City of Federal
Way City Council that the Blackberry Hill preliminary plat be approved. At its meeting
on June 7,1994, the City Council remanded the matter to the Examiner and requested that
additional consideration be given to the ini.pacts to the adjacent wetland in Teabos
Depression; to traffic and access; and stonn drainage. Pursuant to the City Council's
remand, a public hearing was conducted to specifically consider said concerns. Based
upon the testimony and evidence presented at said hearing, additional findings on each
concern are made hereinbelow.
IMP ACfS TO ADJACENT WETLAND
5.
The Teabos Depression is very likely an artificial wetland created by the construction of
South 312th Street. Water backs up as a result of the fill placed in the depression to .
allow construction of South 312th Street. Section 22-1357 of the Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) requires a 100 foot buffer from the wetland even though it is probably artificially
created. .
.'
6.
There is not a 100 - foot buffer protecting the wetland at the present time, and even if the
plat access road were moved outside of the required wetland buffer, the 100-foot setback
would still not be present. The wetland is presently crossed by an existing driveway with
a second driveway located five feet from the edge of the sidewalk surrounding the
proposed cul-de-sac. These driveways will remain in their present location if the plat road
is moved to the east away from the wetland. Storm water presently drains directly from
the driveways into the wetland without pretreatment. Upon development of the plat the
storm drainage will be collected in the plat road (which will replace the driveway parallel
to the wetland) and directed through a biofiltration swale prior to entering the wetland.
Thus, construction of the plat in its proposed configuration will mean the following:
EXHIBIT Ir
PAGE I? OF ~r
(
,<
Blackberry HillIProcess III
August 2, 1994
Page - 3
(
(
I.
An additional incursion into the wetland buffer of five feet in the area of the cul-
de-sac to accommodate a sidewalk;
2.
Improvement of water quality flowing into the wetland due to pretreatment and
a bio[¡[tration swale.
Relocation of the road to the east property line would mean the following:
l.
Continuation of the present driveways and direct runoff fro.m said driveways into
the wetland.
2.
Loss of a significant stand of trees due to relocation of the plat lots-to the north
portion of the plat.
TRAFFIC AND ACCESS
7.
A traffic impact analysis was prepared by the applicant and reviewed and approved by the
City Public Works Department. The project does not generate more than ten p.m. peak
hour trips at any intersection identified in the City's six year transportation plan, and no
traffic mitigation measures are required. Access to all plat lots except one will be via 3rd
Court South, the proposed public road serving the plat. Two private driveways presently
accessing 312th Street and serving properties which are not part of the plat will also use
the plat access road, thus eliminating two accesses. .
8.
South 3 12th Street is an east/west arterial which provides access to SR-99 to the east and
SR-509 to the west. At the project site the road has three lanes including.-one through
lane in each direction and a center left turn lane. Pedestrian sidewalks, biçycle path, and
curb and gutter are also present. According to Metro Transit, two bus rout~...and a van
. pass in front of the site. The bus routes operate Monday through Friday from 5:40 a.m.
to 7:10 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. The van operates from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10:40 a.m. to 5:25 p.m. on Saturday. There are
bus stops along both sides of 3 12th Street in the vicinity of the plat. Accident data
reveals a total of 23' accidents on South 312th Street between 1 st Avenue South and 8th
Avenue South in a three year period.
9.
The site is anticipated to generate 96 average weekday vehicle trips, eight of which will
occur during the morning peak hour and eleven during the evening peak hour. Impact
analyses were perfonned attl:e South 312th Street/1st Avenue South and South 312th
Street/8th A venue South intersections. Both of these intersections are presently operating
at level of service (LOS) D and will continue to do so following build-out of the proposed
subdivision. The intersection of South 312th Street and the plat road itself will operate

(
(
12.
at LOS "C". it is anticipated that 75% of the plat traffic will travel eastbound on South
312th Street and 25% westbound toward 1st Avenue South.
STORM DRAINAGE
The applicant is proposing to direct plat storm water into the Teabos Depression wetland
as opposed to constructing a storm water detention pond on site. A storm drainage study
conducted by the applicant and verified by a separate study performed by the City
establishes that storm drainage from the site following the most severe storm (a 100-
year/24 hour storm) will raise the level of water in the Teabos Depression by less than
1/2 inch. Storm water runoff from the entire drainage basin will raise the level 'of water
by three inches following such a storm event. The depression has 3-112 feet of freeboard
before cresting or threatening the nearest structure.
The City is benefitted by allowing the applicant to discharge storm water into the Teabos
Depression. The applicant is required to secure easements from adjacent property owners
for the benefit of the City. The applicant is spending thousands of dollars to acquire these
easements which will then allow the Teabos Depression to become a regional storm
drainage facility. If the applicant is unable to secure said easements, then the applicant
must provide its own storm water detention pond.
The Teabos Depression is currently operating as a de facto regional drainage facility in
that the plat of Parkwood Campus to the north of the site uses said depression for storm
water detention in the same manner as the applicant is proposing. Parkwood Campus
excavated part of the depression to provide compensating storage for its development. The
Blackberry Hill plat does not need to excavate for compensating storage sillçe it is raising
the outlet control which also provides additional storage with no dani!;er to abutting
properties.
,-'-
13.
Flooding occurs along 1st Avenue South by the Federal Way Fire Station. The impact of
plat development on this flooding was considered in the applicant's drainage report. The
report established that storm drainage from the plat will not exaggerate the existing
flooding condition. To the contrary, the applicant's modifications to the outlet control
structure will help nÜtigate the existing flooding problem. Furthermore, said flooding is
identified as a Surface Water Division capital project.
CLUSTER SUBDMSION
14.
Section 20-154 FWCC allows cluster subdivisions in order to "promote open space and
the protection of natural features such as trees and wetlands." Said section authorizes the
reduction of lot sizes and the placement of residential dwellings in clusters. However, the
EXHIBIT It
PAGE_lt OF ~
(
Blackberry HilllProcess !II
August 2, 1994
Page - 5
minimwn yard and setback requirements must, and building setback lines for each lot
must be shown on the face of the subdivision plat. The open spaces and protected areas
are prohibited from further subdivision or development by covenants filed and recorded
with the final plat.
15.
Section 20-155 FWCC specifically sets forth stands oflarge trees as a natural or physical
amenity which should be protected by cluster development.
16.
The Washington Supreme Court has encouraged the clustering of development in an effort
to protect environmentally fragile areas and natural amenities. In ruling on a planned unit
development (PUD) which is a method of allowing smaller lot sizes, the court stated in
The Estate of Friedman v. Pierce County. 112 Wn. 2d. 68 (1989), as follows:
(
A PUD achieves flexibility by permitting specific modifications of
the usual zoning standards as applied to a particular parcel...One
benefit of the PUD is that "buildings may be clustered in the most
advantageous locations while environmentally fragile areas and
natural amenities are left undeveloped....Large open areas useful for
natural amenity and active and passive recreation can be retained
without sacrificing developing intensity." R. Settle, Washington
Land Use and Environmental Law and Practice. Section 2.12 (c),
at 68 (1983)..."[A PUD] permits the developer of a qualifying site
to be disperoed from otherwise applicable zoning regulations in
exchange for submitting to detailed, tailored regulation. The
developer gains choice; the public gains precise control." R. Settle,
Section 2.12 (c) at 68. 112 Wn. 2d. 68 at 82.
Section 20-154 FWCC authorizes a clustered subdivision sinùlar to a PUD as was
discussed by the court. Such developments are favorably viewed by the courts and land
use experts. In the case of Lutz v. Longview. 83 Wn. 2d. 566 (1974), our court discussed
the difference between a subdivision developed under traditional zoning and a subdivision
developed under a planned unit development as follows: .
Traditional zoning has had the YÍrt1.le of certainty and the handicap
of rigidity. A designated zone authorized certain uses, and no
others, absent a variance. While a rezonc into a more permissive
class might accommodate a desir:J.¡'le use, it might also allow an
undesirable one. In short, the zoning authority was unable to tailor
a specific desirable development to a particular tract of land if it
involved uses which might cut across a number Exiie'BIT Æ

Page - 6
classifications - unless the tract were rezoned to accommodate the
most liberal clement. In contrast, the PUD aclùeves flexibility by
pennitting specific modifications of the customary zoning standards
as applied to a particular parceL The developer is not given cart
blanche authority to make any use wlùch would be pennitted under
traditional zoning. 83 Wn. 2d. 566 at 568.
In the Lutz case the PUD involved development of two multi-family buildings on a large
parcel of property leaving a substantial portion of the site in open space.
17.
In the present case, the applicant proposes eleven single family residential lots in the south
portion of the plat. The applicant is retaining a large tract of open space wruch contains
a significant stand of trees in the north portion of the site. Such provides a significant
benefit for both abutting properties and the community in general. Development of the
plat as proposed improves the quality of water entering the wetland by pretreating.stonn
water through a biofiltration swale. Traffic safety is improved by eliminating driveway
accesses from South 312th Street, wlùle at the. same time contributing insignificant
additional traffic on said road. Development of the plat as proposed also provides the
City an opportunity to acquire at no expense a regional detention facility of more than
sufficient size to serve the entire Teabos Depression drainage area, and in addition, to
require improv~ments to the outlet wlùch will aid downstream flooding. .
IV. CONCLUSIONS
From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions:
1.
The HearÎ!1g Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented by this
request. .. .-
2.
The prelirrúnary plat of Blackbeny Hill satisfies the criteria set forth in Sections 20-154
and 20-155 FWCC such that a clustered subdivision should be approved.
3.
The applicant has adequately mitigated wetland impacts, traffic concerns, stonn drainage,
and down stream flooding.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the proposed preliminary plat of Blackbeny Hill in its
present configuration.

To City Council:
This letter is presented to help you understaud our reasons for designing the plat the way
we did and to clear up some points.
(
I. It was suggested at the last council meeting that the lots should have been clustered in
tbe back of the property instead oftbe uont. We clustered tbem in uont because there
were few trees in uont and mostly blackberry bushes and brush, while in the back
there is a beautiful stand of conifer trees that we wish to preserve. See the attached
tree inventory.
2. We could have done a conventional subdivision using all the land. In fact the code
requires that we demonstrate our ability to do that before we could use the cluster
method. See "Alternative B 7200 Sq. Ft." attached.
3. The 'il/telll' of the cluster method was brought up at the last meeting. The code for a
cluster subdivision as referenced by FWCC 20-154 is as follows:
111 order to promote open space and the protection of natural features such as trees
and wetlands, lots may be reduced in size and placed in clusters on the site..
Lots created in a cluster subdivision may be reduced in size below the minimum
required in the Zoning Code provided that minimum yard and setback
requirements are met. Building setback lines for each lot shall be shown on the
face of a cluster subdivision plat.
Open space created by cluster subdivisions shall be protected uom further
subdivision or development by covenants filed and recorded with the final plat of
the subdivision.

4. We have been working with staff for two years and four months iu an effort to work
out all the problems. The design has been changed many times already.
5. One council person snggested we move Lot 2 back and create an open space buffer.
We thought that was a good idea so we are revising our design by moving Lot 2 back
20 feet. There is already a buffer about 14 feet in back of the side walk that is part of
the right of way. This will make a total of 34 feet of buffer where we will place au
entrance monument on the 20 feet. We will landscape the 34 foot entrance buffer and
provide for a homeowner's association to maintain the buffer. We will do the same on
the Citýs side of the entrance provided the City grants a 20 foot easetnent for the
purpose. By this action it will provide the snggested buffer and keep the brush and
blackbeny bushes 1T0m blocking the visnal problem for vehicles exiting onto South
312th. Our revised plan is attached.
(
6. We think that this plat will enhance the area, improve the existing access for property
owners, and improve the water quality entering the wetland. This project will also
provide a regional storm water holding pond for the City, and preserve a beautiful
stand of large trees, expand sewer access to other properties adjacent to this location
that are currently using septic systems. There has been no opposition 1T0m the public
or other regulatory bodies to this plat.
We respectfully request tlIat you approve tbis plat as amended and grant us an easement
so that we can create a beautifully landscaped entrance.
Sincerely Yours,

on May 25, 1996. There was no appeal of said determination.
The plat Blackberry Hi!! which is situated on a 2.34 acre parcel immediately east of the
subject property received preliminary plat approval on September 6, 1994. At the time
of preliminary plat approval the City Council also approved, as part of the resolution, a
reduced wetland setback to allow for the location of a cul-de-sac which wi\1 serve the
subject plat. The approved design of the preliminary plat had the biofiltration swale
located in the northwest portion of the site. The sanitary sewer line was to be extended
from the south under S. 3 12th St. and across to the plat preliminarily within the street
right-of-way. The applicant is now requesting to locate the biofiltration swale and a
portion of sanitary sewer line in a different location than what was previously approved.
In order to locate the proposed facilities within the wetland buffer, the applicant's
proposal must be reviewed and approved under the City's land use review Process II. The
decisional criteria for the Process II review is set forth in Federal Way City Code Section
22-1359(D). The criteria is as follows:
A.
The proposal will not adversely affect water quality. The location of the sewer line
and biofiltration swale within the wetland buffer will not adversely affect water
quality. Run-off from the plat and cul-de-sac will either be directed through The
biofiltration swale prior to discharge into the Teabos depression or be routed in
catch basins equipped to cleanse the run-off. To prevent against possible breakage
and contamination of surface water, the applicant will be required to use Ductile
Iron for any portion of sanitary sewer line located in the wetland buffer.
B.
The proposal will not destroy or damage the significant habitat area. The buffer
is vegetated by alders, blackberry bushes, scotch broom, and invasive grasses
which provide little habitat value. The addition of native plants and shrubs as
identified in the mitigation plan will provide the potential for increasing habitat
value and therefore the proposed intrusion will not adversely affect, destroy, or
damage a significant habitat area.
C.
The proposal will not adversely affect drainage or storm water retention
capabilities. The Teabos depression has the capacity to adequately retain storm
water run-off from the surrounding properties and therefore the intrusion will not
adversely affect the drainage or storm water retention capabilities.
D.
The proposal will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards.
Those areas disturbed by earth work to install the sanitary sewer by a biofiltration.
swale are required to be replanted with vegetation to reduce the potential for
erosion or sloughing. Any earth work must adhere to engineering standards
adopted by the city and therefore the intrusion does not appear to lead to unstable
earth conditions nor create erosion hazards.
E.
The proposal will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area
of the subject property nor to the city as a whole including loss of significant open "
spaces or scenic vista. The site does not represent significant open space nor does
EXHIBIT ~

r
(
(
-3-
it provide an opportunity to view scenic vistas. The proposed facility is designed
to minimize any affect on adjacent property owners.
F.
It is necessary for reasonable development of the subject property. The proposal
to relocate the plat's detention pond and sanitary sewer line is driven by several
factors including, but not limited to, the fact that the applicant would have to sink
the proposed biofiltration swale on the plat to a depth where it could effectively
collect stonn water from the plat resulting in a large hole prohibiting access for
maintenance. The proposed location also provides for easy maintenance access
and lesser earth work and therefore appears to be necessary for reasonable
development of the subject property.
Prior to obtaining Process II approval, the applicant must establish that the proposal
satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 22-443(C). Findings on each of the criteria set
forth therein are hereby made as follows:
A.
The proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The application is
consistent with the comprehensive plan policies of mitigating for impacts caused
by development and using wetlands as regional storage facilities to promote
aquifer recharge (See NEP 11, NEP 37, NEP 41, NEP 42, LUP 7).
B.
The proposal is consistent with all applicable provisions of the code including
those adopted by reference from comprehensive plan in accordance with .the
adopted administrative procedures. The City's Development Review Conunittee
reviewed the proposal for confonnance with all codes including provisions of
FWCC Section 22-139 regarding intrusions into wetlands and found that with
conditions it would be consistent with applicable provisions of the code.
C.
The proposal is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. The review
of the project did not identify any affects on the public health, safety, and welfare.
The areas of primary concerns such as water quality and loss of wetland and
buffer have been reviewed and mitigated through the applicant's development of
a mitigation plan.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions:
1.
2.
{
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented by this
request.
The applicant's request to locate a sanitary sewer line and a biofiltration swale within a
wetland buffer with two wetlands found in what is known as a Teabos depression should
be granted subject to the following conditions:
A.
The applicant must secure from the City of Federal Way, Department of Public

Works, Surface Water Division, an easement for placement of the san"'1IY sewer
line art biofiltration swale.
To guard against breakage and possible surface water contamination the diagonal
portion of the sewer line (that section that traverses through the wetland buffer)
must be constructed of ductile iron.
The applicant's proposal to locate a biofiltration swale and sewer fIDe within a wetland
buffer area should be approved.

ACTlONS REQUESTED
The City has received an annexation petition ITom the Weyerhaeuser Company (Exhibit A)
to annex certain real property (Exhibit B), located within unincorporated King County and
commonly referred to as "Residential North." The proposed annexation area is located within
the City of Federal Way's Potential Annexation Area (Exhibit C) and lies contiguous to
existing City boundaries. The applicant is also proposing a development agreement (Exhibit
D) pertaining to future development of the property within the proposed annexation area.
Pursuant to Washington State Law and Federal Way City Code (FWCC)3, the City Council
may decide on the proposed actions following a public hearing.
The required public hearings for both actions will be combined into one public hearing on
November 17, 1998. There are no statutory requirements for the public hearings other than
to provide an opportunity for public testimony. Following the November 17, 1998 public
hearing, the City Council may, by a majority of the total membership, accept the 60 percent
petition, and may by resolution declare and give notice of its intention to annex the subject
property'; direct staff to submit a Notice ofIntent to Annex to the King County Boundary
Review Board5; accept the development agreement and make a motion to move the ordinance
establishing the development agreement to second reading; and make a motion to move the
ordinance approving the annexation to second reading.
As a separate but concurrent agenda item", the City Council will also consider pre-annexation
comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the subject property on November 17, 1998.
A comprehensive plan designation of Multifamily Residential and zoning classification of
RM-3600'is proposed for the subject property. In the event that the Council does not adopt
the proposed designations prior to taking final action' on the annexation, Council must

establish interim comprehensive plan and zoning designations' for the subject property in the
annexation ordinance. In this case, Council may either retain the underlying King County
comprehensive plan and zoning designations, or may establish comprehensive plan and zoning
designations of Urban Residential and RS-9600, respectively. Such designations as directed by
Council would then be included in the annexation ordinance. Refer to V., below, Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning, for additional infonnation.
III.
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
On May 27, 1998, the City received a petition ITom the Weyerhaeuser Company, signed by
the owners of not less than ten percent of the assessed value of the property within the
annexation area (fonnally called a "Notice of Intent to Petition for Annexation. "). On July
21, 1998, the City Council accepted the ten percent petition, with a boundary modification
to include the South 32Oth Street right-of-way, ITom Interstate 5 to the east boundary of the
existing Federal Way City limits and the east boundary of the fire district parcel. The City
Council also authorized circulation of the sixty percent petition and directed that: (1) City of
Federal Way comprehensive plan and zoning designations be established prior to or
concurrent with the annexation; (2) a development agreement be prepared to ensure lower
residential density than would be allowed by the underlying zoning (as proposedlO), with a
low density development fonn and preservation of the ability to extend the BP A recreational
trail through a portion of the site; and (3) the property within the annexation area assume its
proportionate share of the City's bonded indebtedness.
On August 21, 1998, the City received a petition ITom the Weyerhaeuser Company (Exhibit
A), signed by owners of not less than sixty percent of the assessed value of property within
the annexation area, to annex the subject property (Exhibit B) located within the City's
Potential Annexation Area (Exhibit C). The petition was œrtified by the King County
Assessor and Federal Way City Clerk, and a City Council public hearingll on the petition was
scheduled.
As described in IV, below, a development agreement was also prepared. The development
agreement is also subject to a public hearing and adoption by Council ordinance. The
required hearing on the proposed agreement will be combined with the annexation hearing.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to Federal Way City Council direction at the ten percent petition stage, and as
provided for in RCW36.70.B.170, a development agreement (Exhibit D) has been prepared
for the annexation area. Both property owners within the annexation area, Weyerhaeuser and
the King County Fire District, are parties to the development agreement.
The principle purpose of the development agreement is to ensure a low density development
fonn on the site, with fewer units than the underlying zoning ofRM-3600 would allow, and
to maintain the ability to extend the BP A trail system. Accordingly, the agreement limits
density to a maximum of six dwelling units per gross acre; requires a low density development
form; and preserves the ability to extend the BP A trail system across a portion of the site
(within the BPA utility easement).
The proposed agreement also contains language that will vest all future land use applications
to Federal Way codes in effect at the time that the application is determined complete by the
City. The City is currently developing an agreement with King County and Quadrant to
allow the City's processing of development applications in advance of annexation, with full
cost recovery. The vesting provision minimizes the possibility of an application being vested
to King County codes in advance of annexation to the City, and also provides the applicant
with predictability in development review. The proposed vesting provision is supported by
both the applicant and City staff.
Aside from setting a density cap and ensuring a low density development style, the
development agreement contains no development regulations or design standards. All
applicable City codes, policies, regulations, and standards, will apply to the development,
including but not limited to, parking and circulation, street improvements, site design, building
height, environmentally sensitive areas, significant trees, landscaping, signage, and
nonconfonnance provisions. Development of the site is also subject to review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and to any resulting mitigation measures.
V.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
A.
EXISTING KING COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The existing King County Comprehensive Plan designations for the property within
the annexation area are Commercial Outside of Centers for the westerly two parcels,
and Urban Residential for the balance of the parcels (see Exhibit E). Existing King
County zoning is Office for the westerly two parcels, and R-18 for the balance of the
parcels (see Exhibit F). King County Zoning ofR-IS would allow IS dwelling units
-4-
Staff Report to the City Council
File No. ANN98-000 1
November 17,1998
per acre. Office zoning would allow for office, and mixed use office and residential.
B,
FEDERAL WAY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The City's Annexation Ordinance (FWCC Chapter 19, Article III) requires that
zoning be imposed at the time of annexation. At this time, City of Federal Way
comprehensive plan and zoning designations of Multifamily Residential and RM-
3600, respectively, have been proposed for the annexation area in the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning updates currently under review, In the event that the Council does
not adopt the proposed designations prior to taking final action on the annexation, but
wishes to adopt the annexation, then Council must also establish interim
comprehensive plan and zoning designations. In this case, Council may either: (I)
retain the underlying King County Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations, or
(2) establish a zoning classification ofRS-9600.
c,
COMPARISON WITH ExISTING KING COUNTY ZONING
The Federal Way zoning classificationRM-3600 is the equivalent of 12 dwelling units
per acre, which is proposed to be modified in the development agreement to 6 units
per gross acre. By comparison, the existing King County zoning of R-18 allows 18
dwelling units per acre, and Office zoning allows 75 percent residential as part of a
mixed use development!2 Consequently, Federal Way zoning and the development
agreement will result in a considerable reduction from planned residential densities on
the property.
VI.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Annexation is an exempt action under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (RCW
43.2IC222). A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on May 6, 1998, for
the comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the annexation areas. Development or
redevelopment of the property within the annexation area will be subject to environmental
review at the time of development application. The proposeå development agreement is not
subject to environmental review since it is consistent with the May 6, 1998, environmental
determination. Future development or redevelopment of the site will also be subject to
environmental review and any measures as may be required to mitigate for project-generated
adverse impacts.

LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTlCS
A.
LAND USE
The annexation area is located within the City of Federal Way's adopted Potential
Annexation Area (Exhibit C). The majority of the area (17.80 of 18.94 acres) is
owned by the Weyerhaeuser Corporation and is presently vacant and undeveloped.
A 1. 14-acre parcel located at the easterly edge of the annexation area is owned and
operated as a fire district substation by the Federal Way Fire Department.
Refer to Exhibits E and F for existing comprehensive plan and zoning designations
for the site and surrounding areas. At the present time, all property located north of
South 32Oth Street is located within King County. King County zoning classifications
for property adjacent to the proposed annexation area include R-18 (north, northeast,
and east of the annexation area) and Office (northwest and west of the annexation
area). Property to the south of the site (south of320th Street) is within the Federal
Way City limits and is zoned Office Park-I. Land uses surrounding the annexation
area presently include a mix oflow density single family residential and vacant land.
At the present time, the fire district does not anticipate any change of land use or
major alteration to their existing facilities located within the annexation area. The fire
station is a permitted use as a governmental jaciliti) under FWCC Section 22-679.
Any change in use, redevelopment, or expansion of the fire district site would be
subject to all applicable state and local codes, policies, and regulations, and the
provisions of the adopted development agreement.
B.
CURRENT SITE: DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Weyerhaeuser has submitted a site development plan (Exhibit G) for their property
within the annexation area. The proposal includes 82 condominium units, with
associated infrastructure improvements as required by the City. The applicant has
indicated that the condominiums will include two, three, and four bedroom units in
five floor plans, ranging in size from 1,100 to 2, 199 square feet. As proposed, the
condominium units will be detached, creating a low density residential appearance. As
proposed, the design and density of the proposed condominiums are consistent with
the development agreement.
The condominium development will be reviewed under Federal Way City Code

(FWCC) Sec. 22-667, detached dwelling units14; and under all other applicable city
codes, policies, and regulations, as well as the development agreement discussed in
IV, above. Development of the site will also be subject to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA).
Preliminary site analysis has revealed existing wetlands in the southeasterly and
westerly portions of the annexation area. Development of the site is subject to the
City's Environmentally Sensitive Areas ordinance and SEPA. The proposed
development agreement contains no provisions related to sensitive areas which would
otherwise modifY existing code requirements. The proposed land use and residential
density on the site is compatible with existing and planned land uses and the
surrounding neighborhoods
Refer to IX B., below, Development Scenario Used as a Basis for Analysis, for a
description of the assumptions that were taken into this analysis.
VIII.
PUBLIC FACILmES AND SERVICES
Following is a description of public facilities and services (urban services) that are available
to the annexation area and can efficiently be provided by the City of Federal Way and its
service area providers. Urban services include transportation, police, fire, water, sewer,
surface water, parks and recreation, and general government services. An analysis of costs
and revenues to the City related to urban services is included under IX., below.
A.
TRANSPORTA TION
Access to the annexation area is provided from South 320th Street. The 320th Street
right-of-way is included within the annexation boundaries, from Interstate 5 to the
existing easterly boundary of the Federal Way City limits. South 320th Street is
classified as a principal arterial by the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP).
Ultimate street improvements to South 320th Street are expected to include a six to
seven lane street section, with sidewalk, street lighting, planted median and street
trees on both sides. (No change is proposed to the fire district facility's existing
access from South 320th Street. Principal access to the condominium project is
proposed from South 320th South.)
Consistent with the FWCP, the applicant's development plan includes a northerly

and to other adjacent properties located within the City's PAA.
Required transportation15-related improvements will be determined during
development review of the proposal, under the Federal Way City Code and
Comprehensive Plan, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and all other
applicable codes, policies, and regulations.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Police and fire services are available to the site and will be provided by the City's
Public Safety Department and Federal Way Fire Department!6 King County provides
jail and court services to the City of Federal Way on a contractual basis. Emergency
medical services (EMS) are dispatched by the fire district and paid for by property
taxes. A safe and secure environment will be ensured through current building and fire
codes, as well as site design requirements, including application of "Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design" (CPTED) principles as appropriate.

line northerly to approximately South 320th Street and 34th Avenue South. The
proposed trunk line extension will provide gravity sewer service to the annexation
area, as well as to other properties currently located within the Federal Way City
\inùts. Construction of this trunk line extension is expected occur in late 1998 or early
1999. Other utility providers are expected to include Puget Sound Energy (electricity,
power poles, and equipment), Federal Way Disposal (solid waste and recycling
collection), and TCI (cable).
D.
SURFACE: WA TE:R QUANTtTY AND QUALITY
The applicant has indicated that the westerly portion of the subject property is located
in the East Branch Hylebos Creek Basin, and the easterly portion is in the Green River
Basin. Presently, surface water runoff from South 320th Street drains into an open
ditch system with one culvert crossing under the street. The site developer will be
required to provide on site facilities for detention and treatment of storm water in
accordance with the King County Surface Water Design Manual, the Hylebos Creek
and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan, and all other applicable codes, policies, and
engineering standards. Also, any off site mitigation measures necessary to address
surface water-related adverse impacts will be applied to the project through
environmental review. In addition, surface water management (SWM) fees will be
collected by the City on an annual basis. Site development is not expected to generate
impacts which can not be addressed through one or more of these processes.
E.
PARKS AND RE:CREATION
The Parks Department has indicated that there are no nearby neighborhood parks to
meet the recreation needs of future residents within the annexation area. However, the
City's zolÙng and subdivision codes will require the applicant to provide on site open
space and recreational opportulÙties comparable to a neighborhood-scale park, which
should be sufficient to meet the need generated by the additional population.
Consequently, the impact to the existing City-wide parks LOS is expected to be
milÙmal.

School Services: Federal Way School District has indicated that the annexation area
is located within the service boundaries of Lake Dolloff Elementary School, Kilo
Junior High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School. Impacts to these schools
and related services, resulting fTom additional population generated by devlopment
in the annexation area, is expected to be mitigated by school impact fees. Impact fees
are collected by the City at building pennit issuance and passed on to the school
district. The city budget is not affected by school impact fees.
Franchises: The City of Federal Way currently has fTanchises with TCI (cable

COSTS AND REVENUES TO THE CITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANNEXATlON
A.
INTRODUCTION
The financial impact to the City of Federal Way of the proposed annexation and
development, projected over a six year evaluation period (1999-2004), is described
in the following paragraphs and tables.
Paragraph B describes the development scenario that was used as a basis for the fiscal
analysis, and for estimating revenues such as building permit fees, property taxes, and
real estate excise tax. Paragraph C shows post-development" operating revenues,
and paragraph D shows operating expenditures. Paragraph E summarizes the analysis
Tables I and 2 are located at the end of Section IX Table I (Effect of the
Annexation on Growth Variables) applies the development scenario (in paragraph B)
to key growth variables such as population and assessed valuation. Table 2
(Operating Revenues and Expenditures) shows anticipated operating revenues,
expenditures, and annual net financial impact of the annexation, based on the growth
variables (shown on Table 1) and related assumptions (shown on Table 2).

units will be built over three or four years, with approximately half of the new units
selling as they are built. From this information a construction and sales scenario was
estimated for purposes of analysis.
Figure 1, below, shows the projected rate of construction and sales of the
condominium units over a four-year period, 1999-2002. Construction phasing was
anticipated to occur at a rate of30% in 1999, 60% in 2000,90% in 2001, and 100%
buildout in 2002. Annual sales of new units was estimated at a rate of about 50% per
year, except in 2002, when 100% of the remaining units that are built are also
assumed to be sold. The sales figures for each year also assume that all units built but
not sold in a given year will be sold the following year. For example, in 2000, 24 new
units are built and 12 (about half) of those are sold, with 12 units carried over (24
built-12 sold =12) and assumed sold in 2001.

Property Tax: The 1997 assessed valuation (A V) of the annexation areal' is
$4,196,733,000. It is estimated that the City will receive 0.16 percent of the
assessed valuation as property tax, or $1.528 per $1,000 of AV, with a
projected growth rate of 1.035 per year. Property tax revenues anticipated to
be generated over the six-year study period are shown on Table 2.
Sales Tax: No sales tax revenues within the annexation area are anticipated.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)20; Real estate excise tax will be collected by
King County and distributed to the City as individual condominium units are
sold. It should be noted that a residential resale rate of five to seven years" is
expected, generating some ongoing REET revenues over time. However, no
ongoing REET revenues were factored into the six-year analysis.
Utility Ta:è°; Utility taxes to be generated by the condominium units,
assuming full occupancy in the year 2002, are shown on Table 2.
Permit Feei": Building permit fees will be collected by the City as building
pennits are issued throughout the project's construction phase. Table 2 shows
anticipated building permit revenues23 associated with this development
scenario, using an estimated average-per-unit permit fee2' of$1,410.
State Shared Revenues; State shared revenues (gasoline tax, motor vehicle
excise tax, liquor board profits, criminal justice tax, and liquor excise tax, etc.)
are distributed to cities on the basis of population. Projected revenues based
on population forecasts25 for the condominiums are shown on Table 2.

D.
OPERATING ExPENDtTURES ANTlCtPATED AS A RESULT OF ANNEXA TtON
Refer to Table 2, Operating Expenditures, for estimated fiscal impacts to the City
associated with the various expenditures described below.
(1)
Transportation (streets and traffic control facilities): As a result of the
annexation, the City wilI acquire approximately 1.9 additionallane26 miles of
South 32Oth Street. The City will also acquire about 1,400 lane fee!,7 of right-
of-way as a result of the proposed extension ofWeyerhaeuser Way South
through the project as part of development.
South 32Oth Street improvements presently include four to five lanes of
pavement, street lights on the south side only, and no sidewalks or street trees
on either side. South 320th Street was resurfaced by King County in 1996,
and City traffic analysts anticipate that no additional overlay will be required
until the year 2010.
Ongoing annual street maintenance costs are estimated based on a per-lane-
mile cost for traffic signal maintenance, street light maintenance, electricity,
shoulder restoration, patching, street channelization, and signage. The total
annual estimated maintenance costs for the right-of-way associated with
annexation and development are shown on Table 2.
The City's traffic division noted that the traffic signal at 320th Street and
Weyerhaeuser Way is substandard and will have to be replaced by the City at
some point28, at an estimated cost of $350,000 (in today's dollars).
However, the City is currently reviewing development proposals that affect
all four corners of this intersection. Through these development review
" Lane miles (or lane feet) estimates total improved street area, based on the length times the widtb. of exi,ling and/or propo"d streets.
27 700 linear feet times 2 lanes" ¡ .400 lane feet.
" The City traffic division estimates this traffic signal will require 'eplaoement in four to six years, depending on traffic increases hased on
anticipated traffic incre.... in this area and i"..peelive of adjaeent new development.

processes, it is likely that the developer will bear some or all of the
responsibility for upgrade or replacement of the substandard signal.
In summary, maintenance and potential capital costs will accrue to the City as
a result of annexing this segment of South 320th Street. However, since the
property is located in the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA), it will
eventually be annexed anyway. Annexation at the present time will secure the
City's control over right-of-way improvements associated with current
development in the area. Otherwise, street improvements could be built to
King County standards, and eventually "inherited" by the City, along with any
service deficiencies, at such future time that the property is annexed.
Police Services: The impact of annexation and development on the public
safety department would be the increase in population and area to patrol.
The City's Public Safety Department has indicated that site development will
primarily affect Patrol District #4, and the impact to polices services is
expected to be minimal. Table 2 provides the estimated financial impact to
police services resulting ITom the increased population.
Parks and Recreation: The City of Federal Way's 1995 Parks, Recreation,
and Open Space Plan utilizes a Level of Service (LOS) standard of 10.9 acres
of public parks and open space per 1,000 population. Additionally, the Parks
Plan seeks to ensure that every neighborhood in the City is served by a park
within a one-half mile radius. Currently, the City owns 818 acres of park land,
or 10.6529 acres of park land per 1,000. Also, no neighborhood parks are
located within a one-half mile radius of the annexation area. However, as
shown on table 2, the development-related impact to the existing Parks LOS
is not expected to be significant'° Additionally, as discussed in VIII. E.,
above, parks-related impacts are expected to be minimized by on site open
space and recreational opportunities, as required by the City's zoning and
subdivision code requirements.
Municipal Court Services, Civil Legal Service, Community Development &
Administrative Services: Operating expenses associated with these services
are based on population and an established formula used by the City of
Federal Way Management Services, and are shown on Table 2.
29 Rounded to nearest hundredth from 10.648, as shown on Table 2.

Surface Water Management (SWM): The City's SWM maintenance costs as
a result of the annexation and development of the subject property will be
addressed by the corresponding SWM fees that will be charged to residents
(see Table 2). Annual surface water maintenance within the City's rights-of-
way will include ditch cleaning, culvert maintenance, weeding, street
sweeping, and vacuum/jet rodding. In addition, the SWM division indicated
that water quality retrofit to South 320th Street will be required in several
years. Therefore, a capital cost of approximately $20,000 to the City was
projected for the year 2003 (see Table 2). However, it should be noted that
the City's cost for this water quality retrofit would be limited to pre-
developed conditions in the right-of-way, since the site developer will be
responsible to provide water quality facilities for all new development -related
impervious surfaces.

DECISIONAL CRITERIA
A.
CONCURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNAT70NS
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Sec. 19-101 requires that comprehensive plan and
zoning designations be established concurrently with annexations in cases where such
designations are either absent or outdated. Thi~ will be accomplished at Council
direction, either through the proposed comprehensive plan updates, or alternative
adoption of an interim zoning designation.
Decisional criteria for comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the subject
property are addressed in that proposal's record. Should the Council alternatively
choose to adopt interim comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the
annexation area, the required process to establish permanent designations3! must be
undertaken within one year of the annexation, and would include compliance with
applicable FWCC decisional criteria.
B.
ANNEXA T70N
Annexation of the subject property by the Federal Way City Council requires a
determination that the annexation has been processed in accordance with all state and
local statutory requirements, and that it would promote the health, safety, and welfare
of the citizens of Federal WaY".
31 FWCC Sec. 19.100 requires permanenl comprehensive plan and zoning designations to be established within one year of the
annexation, wlUch would require a comprehensive plan ""endment and rezone, subject to all pmcedu<al requirement> and decisional criteria fo, such

(3)
c.
On May 27, 1998, the owner (Weyerhaeuser) of not less than ten percent of
assessed value of the property proposed for annexation, as certified by the
City Clerk, filed a Notice ofIntention to Petition for Annexation to the City.
On July 21, 1998, the City Council authorized preparation of a Petition for
Annexation; amended the annexation boundary; required that City of Federal
Way comprehensive plan and zoning designations be established prior to or
concurrent with the annexation; required the preparation of a proposed
development agreement; and required the assumption of a pro rata portion of
the existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
On August 21, 1998, Weyerhaeuser filed its Petition for Annexation of the
subject property, which petition was certified by the King County Assessor
and Federal Way City Clerk to contain the signatures of owners of not less
than sixty percent of the assessed valuation of the property to be annexed, and
a City Council public hearing on the annexation was scheduled.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The City of Federal Way is authorized to enter into development agreements pursuant
to RCW 36. 70B.170 et seq.; and which provisions for content, form, and procedural
requirements have been met by the proposed development agreement.
D.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE FEDERAL WAY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (FWCP)
The annexation proposal and development agreement are consistent with the
following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies:
*
Annexations generally should not have or create abnormally ilTegular boundaries. (pAAP6)
*
The annexation must, to the greatest extent possible, preserve natural neighborhoods and
communities. (pAAP7)
*
Proposed annexations should use the 60 percent petition method when possible. (1' AAP9)
*
Simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations should be required of all annexations

On May 27, 1998, the Weyerhaeuser Company filed a Notice ofIntention to Petition
for Annexation to the City of Federal Way, for certain real property lying contiguous
to the northeast boundary of the City of Federal Way, signed by the owners of not less
than ten percent of the assessed value of the property within the annexation area, and

On July 21, 1998, the City Council authorized the preparation of a Petition for
Annexation, modified the annexation boundary, required concurrent comprehensive
plan and zoning designations, required the assumption of a pro-rata proportion of
existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed, and directed preparation of a
development agreement to limit residential density, ensure low density design, and
provide for extension of the BP A pedestrian trail, in the annexation area.

signed by owners of not less than 60 percent of the assessed value of property within
the annexation area, to annex the subject property, with boundaries modified in
accordance with City Council direction and as certified by the City Clerk.
Prior to the City Council's final action on the annexation, the Council will adopt
concurrent comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the annexation area, either
by City Council adoption of the comprehensive plan updates, or alternatively, by
designation of interim zoning designations.
The proposed annexation area is located within the City of Federal Way's adopted
Potential Annexation Area (PAA), consistent with Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP) policies related to annexation.
The subject property is located in an area where adequate urban services can be
effectively provided by the City of Federal Way, consistent with the Federal Way

SUBJECT:
Substitute Resolution Accepting Weyerhaeuser "Residential South"
Annexation Petition
Please find enclosed for Council consideration a substitute Resolution accepting the
Weyerhaeuser "Residential North" Annexation Petition. This replaces Item VI.b in your Council
packet.
The substitute Resolution contains three minor changes:
I. The approximate annexation acreage has been revised, from 18.42 acres to 19.88 acres,
to reflect the area of rights-of-way included within the annexation. The rights-of-way were included
as part of the 60% annexation petition, but acreage estimates for them only recently became
available. A parallel change will be made to the annexation Ordinances prior to second reading.
2. A corrected legal description and map have been added as Exhibit B, and the Resolution
text amended to refer to the new exhibit. The legal description attached to the original Resolution
as Exhibit A was recently modified slightly, after review by a professional land surveyor, to match
the annexation legal description to the map of the proposed annexation area. The corrected
description is already attached to the two proposed annexation Ordinances that are part of the
Council packet; it has now been added to the Resolution as well.
...
3. A typographical error in the Resolution's header has been corrected. The reference to
"South 344th Street" has been changed to "South 334th Street."

applicant is also proposing a development agreement (Exhibit D) for the purpose of vesting
development in the annexation area to Federal Way City codes, policies, and regulations in
effect at the time of complete application. Pursuant to Washington State LaW> and Federal
Way City Code (FWCC)3, the City Council may decide on the proposed annexation and
development agreement following a public hearing.
The required public hearings for both actions will be combined into one public hearing on
November 17, 1998. There are no statutory requirements for the public hearings other than
to provide an opportunity for public testimony. Following the November 17,1998 public
hearing, the City Council may, by a majority of the total membership, accept the 60 percent
petition, and may by resolution declare and give notice of its intention to annex the subject
property'; direct staff to submit a Notice ofIntent to Annex to the King County Boundary
Review Board'; accept the development agreement and make a motion to move the ordinance
establishing the development agreement to second reading; and make a motion to move the
ordinance approving the annexation to second reading.
As a separate but concurrent agenda item6, the City Council will also consider pre-annexation
comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the subject property on November 17, 1998.
A comprehensive plan designation of High Density Residential and zoning classification of
RS-9.67, respectively, are proposed for the subject property. In the event that the Council
does not adopt the proposed designations prior to taking final action' on the annexation, then
Council must establish interim comprehensive plan and zoning designations9 for the subject

property in the annexation ordinance. In this case, Council may either retain the underlying
King County Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations, or may establish comprehensive
plan and zoning designations of Urban Residential and RS-9600, respectively. Such
designations as directed by Council would then be included in the annexation ordinance. Refer
to v., below, for additional information.
III.
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
On May 27, 1998, the City received a petition from the Weyerhaeuser Company, signed by
the owners of not less than ten percent of the assessed value of the property within the
annexation area (formally called a "Notice of Intent to Petition for Annexation "). On July
21, 1998, the City Council accepted the ten percent petition; authorized circulation of the
sixty percent petition; directed that City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning be
established prior to or concurrent with the annexation; and directed that the property within
the annexation area assume its proportionate share of the City's bonded indebtedness.
On August 21, 1998, the City received a petition from the Weyerhaeuser Company (Exhibit
A), signed by owners of not less than sixty percent of the assessed value of property within
the annexation area, to annex the subject property (Exhibit B), located within the City's
Potential Annexation Area (Exhibit C). The petition was certified by the King County
Assessor and Federal Way City Clerk, and a City Council public hearinglO was scheduled.
As submitted, the applicant's sixty percent petition includes the portion of the South 42nd
Street which lies contiguous to the east boundary of the annexation area as it was depicted
in the applicant's previous Notice of Intent to Petition for Annexationll. This boundary
revision as submitted is limited to right-of-way only and it does not impact any private
property nor affect the remaining annexation area boundaries. Staff has determined that this
minor boundary revision has merit to ensure that all portions of any future development of
the site are located within City limts and not partially within King County, which could result
from the county's approval of any future right-of-way vacation of South 42nd Street. Also,
City staff have been advised by the King County Boundary Review Board (BRB) that the
sixty percent petition can be accepted by the City Council with this minor right-of-way
addition. Therefore, the revised boundary is supported by staff as submitted with the sixty
percent petition and is being included as part of the annexation proposal under consideration.
As noted above and described in IV, below, a development agreement has also been prepared
10 Punmant to RCW 35AI4.130, when a kgally sum",nt p<tition is filed, the City Council may conduct a puhlic heMing on the petition.
II The "Noti" of Intent to Petition for Annexation" is mo" commonly "feITed to '" the "en p...cent petition" '"'ge of the petition method
of annexation. The City Council "viewed the "ten p..."nt petition" at their July 21, 1998 me<ting.
-3-

for Council consideration. The development agreement is also subject to a public hearing and
adoption by Council ordinance. The required public hearing on the development agreement
will be combined with the annexation public hearing.
IV.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
As provided for in RCW36.70.B.170, a development agreement (Exhibit D) has been
prepared for the annexation area. The sole purpose of the development agreement is to vest
development applications to City codes, rather than King County codes, in advance of the
effective date of the annexation.
Under the development agreement, land use applications for the annexation area will vest to
Federal Way codes in effect at the time an application is determined complete by the City and
prior to the annexation effective date. The City is currently developing an agreement with
King County and Quadrant to allow the City's processing of land use applications in advance
of annexation, with full cost recovery.
The vesting provision minimizes the possibility of the application being vested to King County
codes in advance of annexation to the City, and also provides the applicant with predictability
in development review. The proposed development agreement is supported by the applicant
and City staff.
V.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
A.
ExISTING KING COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The existing King County Comprehensive Plan designation for the property within the
annexation area is Urban Residential (Exhibit E), and existing zoning is RS-4
(Exhibit F). King County zoning ofR-4 would allow 4 dwelling units per acre.
B.
FEDERAL WA Y COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The City's Annexation Ordinance (FWCC Chapter 19, Article III) requires that
zoning be imposed at the time of annexation. At this time, City of Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations of Single Family High Density and RS-
9.6, respectively, have been proposed for the annexation area, as part of the
comprehensive plan and zoning updates currently under review. In the event that the
Council does not adopt the proposed designations prior to taking final action on the
annexation, but wishes to adopt the annexation, then Council must also establish
interim comprehensive plan and zoning designations. In this case, Council may either:
-4-
StajJReport to the City Council
File No. ANN98-0002
November 17, 1998
(1) retain the underlying King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations
of Urban Residential and R-4, or (2) establish a zoning classification ofRS-9600.
C.
COMPARISON WITH ExISTING KING COUNTY ZONING
Existing King County zoning and proposed Federal Way zoning are comparable.
Both the existing county classification ofR-4, and the proposed Federal Way zoning
classification ofRS-9.6, both provide for approximately 4 dwelling units per acre.
Consequently, development of the subject property under Federal Way's RS-9.612
wning will result in residential densities comparable to or less than currently planned.
VI.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Annexation is an exempt action under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (RCW
43.21C.222). A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on May 6, 1998, for
the comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the annexation areas. Project-specific
impacts related to subdivision and development of the property will be subject to
environmental review at the time of development application. The proposed development
agreement is not subject to environmental review since it is consistent with the 5/6/98 MDNS.
VII.
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS
A.
LAND USE
The annexation area is located within the City of Federal Way's adopted Potential
Annexation Area (Exhibit C). The property is owned by the Weyerhaeuser
Corporation and is presently vacant and undeveloped.
Refer to Exhibits E and F for existing comprehensive plan and zoning designations
for the site and surrounding areas. At the present time, all property located
immediately north, east and west of the site is located within King County, and the
property to the south and southwest is located within the City of Federal Way.
Existing King County zoning classifications are R-4 (north and west of the site) and
R-6 (across South 334th to the northwest). Existing Federal Way zoning
classifications include GP-] (south of the site) and RS-9.6 (southwest of the site).
Current land uses surrounding the area include a mix of low density single family
residential, vacant land, and a former school occupied by a church organization

CURRENT SITE: DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Weyerhaeuser has submitted a preliminary plat concept for the annexation area and
the abutting property to the south". The conceptual plan includes a total of 90
dwelling units on a 38.S-acre site!', with associated streets, stormwater facilities,
open space and wetland buffers.
The proposed subdivision and residential development of the annexation area will be
reviewed under Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 20, Subdivisions, FWCC
Sec. 22-631, detached dwelling unit~5; and under all other applicable city codes,
policies, and regulationsl6. Development of the site will also be subject to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the vesting provisions of the proposed
development agreement, if approved.
Preliminary site assessment indicates wetlands on and adjacent to the annexation area.
As stated above, the proposed subdivision will be subject to the City's
Environmentally Sensitive Areas ordinance and SEP A. The proposed development
agreement contains no development regulations which would modify existing Federal
Way City Code requirements pertaining to environmentally sensitive areas or any
other aspects of site development. The proposed single family land use and residential
density on the site is compatible with existing and planned land uses and the
surrounding neighborhoods.
Refer to IX. B., below, for the development scenario used as a basis for this analysis.

available to the annexation area and can efficiently be provided by the City of Federal Way
and its service area providers. Urban services include transportation, police, fire, water,
sewer, surface water, parks and recreation, and general government services. An analysis of
costs and revenues to the City related to urban services is provided under IX, below.
A.
TRANSPORTA nON
Access to the annexation area is available ITom 33rd Place South, South 334th Street,
38th Avenue South, and South 336th Street (Exhibit B). All of these surrounding
streets are currently under the county's jurisdiction and are not included within the
proposed annexation boundaries. However, there are portions of existing unimproved
rights-of-way which have been contained within the annexation boundaries. These
include a portion of South 336th Street (along the south boundary of the annexation
area) and 42nd Avenue South (along the east boundary). No street improvements
within these rights-of-way are proposed at this time by the applicant!'. Any such
street improvements or connectivity required by the City will be detennined during
project-level review.
If the annexation is approved, King County will retain ownership and maintenance of
all existing external streets and rights-of-way, with the exception of the South 336th
and 42nd Avenue South undeveloped rights-of-way, which will fall within the City's
jurisdiction. In addition, as part of subdivision design, all internal streets will be
improved to City of Federal Way standards and maintained by the City.
Required transportation18-related improvements, on and off site, will be determined
during development review, under the Federal Way City Code and Comprehensive
Plan, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and all other applicable codes,
policies, and regulations. In order to estimate costs to the City associated with
maintenance of future streets within the annexation area, the applicant's current
conceptual site plan was used as a development forecast. Refer to IXB, below, for
the applicant's development scenario used as a basis for analysis, and IXD., below,
for a description of development-related transportation costs.
B.
PUBLIC SAFcrY
t7 The applicant's cun-ent site plan anticipates vacation of the South 336th St,.ct and 42nd Avenue South rights-of-way, howcver. right-
of-way vacation is a separate application subject to the City's revicw and approval.
18 Improvements to exi"ing and new sUeets. any off site mitigation, and ,.Ia"d facilitie" as rcqui,.d for the ..fe ,nd efficient movoment
of vehicles, pedestrians. bicycles, public transportation, emergency vchicles, and school huses. will be detennined through the development and
env¡'onmental review processes and applied to the project.

November 17,1998
Police and fire services are available to the site and will be provided by the City's
Public Safety Department and Federal Way Fire Department!9 King County provides
jail and court services to the City of Federal Way on a contractual basis. Emergency
medical services (EMS) are dispatched by the fire district and paid for by property
taxes. A safe and secure environment will be ensured through current building and fire
codes, as well as site design requirements, including application of "Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design" (CPTED) principles as appropriate.
c.
UTILITIES
Domestic water and sanitary sewer are currently available to the area and can be
provided by the Lakehaven Utility District The District currently provides water to
this area, however, sanitary sewer is not currently provided. The annexation area is
located within the District's approved sewer service area boundary. The district has
indicated that it currently has capacity to collect and treat sewerage from the parcels
within the annexation area, however, pump station #19, located west of the
annexation area, must be upgraded to accept the additional flow. The district is
currently processing the applicant's developer extension agreement to upgrade this
pump station and extend gravity sewer main across the intervening parcels between
the pump station and development in the annexation area. In summary, the district
stated that the additional sewer service will be financed through the developer's
extension of facilities. Other utility providers are expected to include Puget Sound
Energy (electricity, power poles, and equipment), Federal Way Disposal (solid waste
and recycling collection), and TCI (cable).
D.
SURFACE WATER QUANTITY AND QUALITY
The applicant has indicated that the subject property is located in the East Branch
Hylebos Creek Sub-Basin. Presently, site-generated surface water runoff drains
generally south and west to existing wetlands. The developer will be required to
provide on site facilities for detention and treatment of storm water in accordance
with the King County Surface Water Design Manual, the Hylebos Creek and Lower
Puget Sound Basin Plan, and all other applicable codes, policies, and standards. Any
off site mitigation measures necessary to address surface water-related adverse
impacts will be required through environmental review. Also, surface water
management (SWM) fees will be collected by the City on an annual basis. Project-
specific impacts are expected to be addressed through these processes.
19 Fedenol Way Fi<e Department is o""ed and opcraled by the KingCounlY Fi<e Diw;ct. No fi<e-<elated eost will accrue 10 the Cily.. a
",ult of the annexation.

E.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The Parks Department has indicated that there are no nearby neighborhood parks to
meet the recreation needs of future residents located within the annexation area.
However, the City's subdivision ordinance will require the applicant to provide usable
open space on site comparable to a neighborhood-scale park, which is anticipated to
generally meet the needs. Consequently, the impact to the existing City-wide parks
LOS is expected to be minimal.
F.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES
General government selVices (Municipal Court SelVices, Civil Legal SelVice,
Community Development & Administrative Services) will be provided concurrent
with annexation and development of the subject site.
G.
OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES
Schoof Services: Federal Way School District has indicated that the annexation area
is located within the selVice boundaries of Lake Dolloff Elementary School, Kilo
Junior High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School. Impacts to these schools
and related services, resulting from additional population generated by development
in the annexation area, is expected to be mitigated by school impact fees. Impact fees
are collected by the City at building permit issuance and passed on to the school
district. The City budget is not affected by school impact fees.
Franchises: The City of Federal Way currently has franchises with TCI (cable
selVice), Puget Sound Energy (power poles and equipment) and Federal Way
Disposal (solid waste and recycling collection). The City is also developing
agreements with several telecommunications selVice providers. Revenues ITom
ITanchise fees are collected by the City as described in Section Ix., below.
IX.
COSTS AND REVENUES TO THE CITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANNEXATION
A.
INTRODUCTION
The financial impact to the City of Federal Way of the proposed annexation and
development, projected over a six year evaluation period (1999-2004), is described
in the following paragraphs and tables. Paragraph B describes the development
scenario that was used as a basis for the fiscal analysis. Estimated revenues for
building permit fees, property taxes, and real estate excise tax, etc., were based on this
.9-

scenario. Paragraph C shows post-development operating revenues, paragraph D
shows operating expenditures, and paragraph E summarizes the analysis.
Tables I and 2 are located at the end of Section Ix. Table 1 (Effect of the
Annexation on Growth Variables) applies the development scenario (in paragraph B)
to key growth variables such as population and assessed valuation. Table 2
(Operating Revenues and Expenditures) shows anticipated operating revenues,
expenditures, and annual net financial impact of the annexation, based on the growth
variables shown on Table 1 and related assumptions shown on Table 2.
B.
DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO USED AS A BASIS FOR ANALYSIS
As currently proposed2O by the applicant (Weyerhaeuser Company), a 90-10t single
family residential subdivision in the annexation area and on the adjacent site to the
south (currently located in the City of Federal Way). Approximately one-half (45)
of the total units (90) are expected to be constructed on the annexation site, with the
balance on the adjacent site currently located witlún the City. Consequently, only the
approximate one-half of the project located in the annexation area was considered in
assessing financial impacts associated with annexation and development of the site.
Figure 1, below, uses the applicant's projected rate of construction and sales of the
homes, from 1999-2001. Approximately 10 units are projected to be built in 1999,
with the balance built in 2000, the bulk sold in 2000, with 100% sales in 2001.

REVENUES ANTICIPATED FROM THE ANNEXATION AREA
Refer to Table 2, Operating Revenues, for estimated fiscal impacts to the City
associated with the various revenues described below.
(1)
(2)
+
(3)
(4)
(5)
Property Tax: The 1997 assessed valuation (A V) of the annexation area2! is
$437,000. It is estimated that the City will receive 0.16 percent of the
assessed valuation (A V) as property tax, or $1.528 per $1,000 of A V, with
a projected growth rate of 1.035 per year. Property tax revenues anticipated
to be generated over the six-year study period are shown on Table 2.
Sales Tax: No sales tax revenues are anticipated.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REE1)22: Real estate excise tax will be collected by
King County and distributed to the City as individual dwelling units are sold.
It should be noted that a residential resale rate of five to seven years2' is
expected, generating some ongoing REET revenues over time. However, this
was not included in the six-year analysis.
Utility Tax'°: Utility taxes to be generated by the households, assuming full
occupancy by 2002, are shown on Table 2.
Permit Fee;': Building permit fees will be collected by the City as building
permits are issued throughout the project's construction phase. Table 2 shows
anticipated building permit revenues25 associated with this development
scenario, using an estimated average-per-unit permit fee26 of $1,652.00.

Refer to Table 2, Operating Expenditures, for estimated fiscal impacts to the City
associated with the various expenditures described below.

(3)
Transportation (streets and traffic control facilities): No existing right-of-
way improvements will become the City's responsibility as a result of the
annexation. However, as a result of the proposed residential subdivision of
the site, the City will acquire approximately 3,000 additional lane feee' of
right-of way. Ongoing annual street maintenance costs were estimated based
on a per-lane-mile cost including street light maintenance, electricity, shoulder
restoration, patching, street channelization, and signage. Estimated annual
right-of-way maintenance costs are shown on Table 2.
Police Services: The impact of annexation and development on the public
safety department would be the increase in population and area to patrol. The
Public Safety Department has indicated that site development will affect Patrol
District 6, and the impact to police services is expected to be minimal. Table
2 provides the estimated financial impact to police services resulting from the
increased population.
Parks and Recreation: The City of Federal Way's 1995 Parks, Recreation,
and Open Space Plan utilizes a Level of Service (LOS) standard of 10.9 acres
of public parks and open space per 1,000 population. Additionally, the Parks

Plan seeks to ensure that every neighborhood in the City is served by a park
within a one-half mile radius. Currently, the City owns 818 acres of park land,
or 10.6529 acres of park land per 1,000. Also, no neighborhood parks are
located within a one-half mile radius of the annexation area. However, as
shown on table 2, the development-related impact to the existing Parks LOS
is expected to be minima!'"' Additionally, as discussed in VIII. E., above,
parks-related impacts are expected to be minimized by on site open space, as
required by the City's subdivision code requirements.

Municipal Court Services, Civil Legal Service, Community Development &
Administrative Services: Operating expenses associated with these services
are based on population and an established formula used by the City of
Federal Way Management Services, and are shown on Table 2.
(5)
Surface Water Management (SWM): The City's SWM maintenance costs as
a result of the annexation and development of the subject property will be
covered by the corresponding SWM fees that will be charged to residents (see
Table 2). Annual surface water maintenance within the City's rights-of-way
will include ditch cleaning, culvert maintenance, weeding, street sweeping,
and vacuum/jet rodding.

DECISIONAL CRITERIA
A.
CONCURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Sec. 19-101 requires that comprehensive plan and
zoning designations be established concurrently with annexations in cases where such
designations are absent or outdated. This will bé accomplished at Council direction,
either through the proposed comprehensive plan updates, or alternative adoption of
interim designations.
Decisional criteria for comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the subject
property are addressed in that proposal's record. Should the Council alternatively
choose to adopt interim comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the
annexation area, the required process to establish permanent designations'! must be
undertaken within one year of the annexation, and would include compliance with
applicable FWCC decisional criteria.
B.
ANNEXATION
Annexation of the subject property by the Federal Way City Council requires a
determination that the annexation has been processed in accordance with all state and
local statutory requirements, and that it would promote the health, safety, and welfare
of the citizens of Federal Way"-

to the northeast bound¡uy of the City of Federal Way, signed by the owners of not less
than ten percent of the assessed value of the property within the annexation area, and
certified by the Federal Way City Clerk.
On July 21, 1998, the City Council authorized the preparation of a Petition for
Annexation, modified the annexation boundary, required concurrent comprehensive
plan and zoning designations, required the assumption of a pro-rata proportion of
existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed, and directed preparation of a
development agreement to limit residential density, ensure low density design, and
provide for extension of the BPA pedestrian trail.
On August 21, 1998, the City received a petition from the Weyerhaeuser Company,
signed by owners of not less than 60 percent of the assessed value of property within
the annexation area, to annex the subject property, as certified by the City Clerk.
Prior to the City Council's final action on the annexation, the Council will adopt
concurrent comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the annexation area, either
by City Council adoption of the comprehensive plan updates, or alternatively by
designation of interim zoning designations

The pumose of these designations is to differentiate between areas whose geographical
hvdrological topographical or other features implv differing obiectives regarding the use and
future development of the shorelines of the citv.
Each environment designation represents a particular emphasis in the type of uses and
the extent of development that should occur within it. The environmental designation system
is designed to encourage uses in each environment that enhance or are compatible with the
character of the environment while at the same time requiring reasonable standards and
restrictions on development so that the character of the environment is not adversely
impacted.
Sec. 18-164.02. Names of environment desie:nations.
In order to accomplish the pumose of this title environmental designations have been
established to be known as follows:

That the strict requirements of the bulk, dimensional or performance standards
set forth in the master program precludes or significantly interferes with a
reasonable use of the property not otherwise prohibited by the master program;
That the hardship described above is specifically related to the property, and is
the result of unique conditions such as irregular lot shape, size, or natural
features, and the application of the master program, and not for example, from
deed restriction or the applicant's own actions;
That the design of the project will be compatible with other permitted activities
in the area and will not cause adverse effects to adjacent properties or the
shoreline environment;
That the variance authorized does not constitute a grant of special privilege not
enjoyed by other properties, and will be the minimum necessary to affe>rd
relief;
That the public interest will suffer no substantial detrimental effect;
That the public rights of navigation and use of the shorelines will not be
adversely affected by the granting of the variance when the proposal is for
development located waterward of the ordinary high-water mark, or within
marshes, bogs or swamps; and

PUrDose
The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) identifies
seven land and water use elements that, if aDDroDriate
to the community, are to be dealt with in the develoD-
ment of area-wide shoreline goals. Thev include:
shoreline use. economic develoDment. Dublic access,
conservation recreation, historical/cultural. and
circulation. Master Drograms are also encouraged to
include any other elements which, because of Dresent
uses or future needs, are deemed aDDroDriate to
effectuate the Dolicv of the Shoreline Management
Act.
Residential land use of shorelines of the state within
Federal Way makes UD the largest share of the
develoDed shorelines in the city. Much of the undevel-
oDed shoreline is in Drivate ownershiD, subdivided
into small lots and Dresentlv zoned to allow for
residential use. Because of Dresent and future needs of
residential shoreline use. goals and Dolicies have been
fonnulated as Dart of a residential element to guide
and Dlan for that develoDment.
The following comDrehensive set of shoreline goals
Drovide the foundation and framework on which the
balance of the master Drogram has been based. These
goals and Dolicies are reflective of the level of
achievement believed to be intrinsically desirable for
all shoreline uses, needs. and develoDments, and
establish a Drogram Dolicv commensurate with the
intent and objectives of the Shoreline Management
Act. The Dolicies contained herein should be enforced
through the aDDlicable chaDters of the Federal Wav

Shoreline Environments
Pumose
In order to more effectivelv implement the goals.
objectives. and Dolicies of this master Drogram and the
Shoreline Management Act the shorelines of the state
within Federal Wav have been categorized into four
separate environment designations. The Dumose of
these designations is to differentiate between areas
whose geographical features and existing development
Dattern imDlv differing objectives regarding their use
and future development.
Each environment represents a Darticular emphasis in
the IYDe of uses and the extent of development which
should occur within it. The svstem is designed to en-
ourage uses in each environment which enhance the
character of the environment while at the same time
requiring reasonable standards and restrictions on
development so that the character of the environment
is not destroved.
The determination as to which designation should be
given to anv specific shoreline area has been based on.
and is reflective of. the existing development Dattern'
the bioDhvsical capabilities and limitations of the
land; and the goals and aspirations of the local
citizenry.
Each environment category includes: (I) a definition
describing the development. use. and/or features
which characterize the area; (2) a DurDose which clari-
fies the meaning and intent of the designation; and. (3)
~eneral Dolicies designed to regulate use and develoD-
ment consistent with the character of the environment.
Urban Environment
The urban environment is an area of high-intensitv
land use including residential. office. and recreational
development. The environment is Darticularlv suitable
to those areas Dresentlv subjected to intensive land use
Dressure. as well as areas Dlanned to accommodate
urban expansion.
The Dumose of designating the urban environment is
to ensure optimum utilization of shorelines within
urbanized areas bv Dermitting intensive use and bv
managing development so that it enhances and
mainains the shoreline for a multiplicity of urban uses.
The environment is designed to reflect a Dolicy of

Shoreline Protection
Shoreline protection is action taken to reduce adyerse
impacts caused by current. flood. wake. or wave
action. This action includes all structural and non-
structural means to reduce these impacts due to
flooding. erosion. and accretion. Specific structural
and non structural means included in this use actiyity
are bulkheads. rip-rap. bank stabilization. and other
means of shoreline protection.
The means taken to reduce damage caused by erosion.
accretion. and flooding must recognize the positiye
aspects of each so that the benefits of these natural
occurrences will be retained eyen as the problems are
dealt with. Erosion does not exist without accretion of
material eroded be it a bench or a sandbar. Likewise.
accretion cannot occur unless material has been
eroded.

The Dressure to develoD shorelines for residential uses
has continued to result in DroDertv subdivision and

ODment of shorelines is accomDlished in a variety of
ways from large Dlats and subdivisions to single lot

RE:
Summary of Shoreline Management Program changes
Attached is a revised version of the Shoreline Management Plan
and related ordinance. As you may remember, originally there
were three parts to these changes: (1) the regulations, (2) the
goals and policies and (3) the map.
Regulations-
Since the LUTC last met on shoreline, we have received comments
from the individual at the state level who has given the draft
regulations a preliminary review. I have incorporated most of his
minor changes i.e. changing "not permitted" to "prohibited" but
direct your attention to the following more substantive changes:
1, Added definitions for "non-water-oriented, water
dependent, water enjoyment, water oriented, water related"
(p.3 & 4 Exhibit A).
2. Beefed up parking regulations by adding Sec. 18-165.03
(5) a, c, & d (see page 7)
3. Added salmon and steelhead protection language Sec 18-
165.10 on page 17-20. These are referenced in all of the
shoreline designations.
He also recommends that setbacks be Conservancy-100', Rural-75',
and Urban-25'. Since you had specifically designated other
setbacks, I did not make these changes.
I have also incorporated your changes to setbacks (pp. 8,9, &
14). On page 8, Section 18-165.04 (3) (a) (2), you may want to
consider changing "50'" to "30'" since in other situations
residential can be built up to 30' of the ordinary high water
mark.
The last change is on page 29 where Section 18-170.176 was added
to establish criteria for changing a map designation.
Goals and Policies-
I wasn't planning to make any changes to the goals and policies
which are now included in the Comprehensive plan update, however,
yesterday, I received the suggested language for salmon and
steelhead protection. I was able to incorporate the regulation
language, but ran out of time to include it in this packet for
the goals and policies. I have included a paper copy of the
state suggested language. Margaret and I will edit out the parts
that do not apply to Federal Way and will include it in the final
update which will come to you November 2nd.
Map Changes-
Since the LUTC recommended dropping the map change along Puget
Sound and Weyerhaeuser asked to have their map change dropped
(see attached letter) I have deleted all references to map
changes.

Dear North Lake Resident:
As you may recall, I wrote to you last month inviting you to a meeting at Weyerhaeuser
to discuss the proposed changc to the shoreline designation ofa portion of the
Weyerhaeuser property on North Lake. This proposed change had been requested by
Weyernaeuser during the process of annexation to Federal Way in 1994. We originally
requested the change for this particular piecc of property so that its shoreline designation
would be consistent with the other propcrties around North Lake as well as with thc rest
of the Weyerhaeuscr corporate campus. At no point did We have specific plans to develop
the land.
However, when we leamedofthe concern some of our neighbors on North Lake had
about this proposed change, wc decided to reevaluate the original request. AfteI
reevaluating circumstance>s and physical characteristics of this specific property, we
determined it is an area we would be UIÙikely to develop for corporate use. This is in
largc part due to existing conditions on the property including natural constraints, such as
wetlands.
Both because we have determined that this area is not like>ly to be needed for
development, and because wc share our neighbors' concern for the quality of the
environment around North Lake, we have decided not to pursue thc original request for a
shoreline designation changc. This means the shoreline on this particular portion of the
Weyerhaeuser property on North Lake will remain under the designation of
"conservancy."
In light of this. it docs not appear ncccssar)' to hold a meeting with neighbors about this
issue. As a result, the meeting that was to be held at Weyerhaeuser on Tuesday, October
13, 1998 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. has been canceled.
Because we understand there may be interest in other Weyerhaeuser/Quadrant activities
in the broader East Campus area, we plan to schedule a meeting in November to provide
information on those activitics.
Sincerely,

RE:
Shoreline follow up
A question was raised at your last meeting regarding the impact
of changing the shoreline designation from Rural to Urban on
density.
The only properties that were suggested for change were the
commercial (Office Park) properties at North Lake and the
residential properties on puget Sound between Dumas Bay Retreat
Center and Poverty Bay Park.
The properties on North Lake are zoned and shows on the
Comprehensive Plan Map as Corporate Park. The properties are
currently owned by Weyerhauser and are used by the company for
office and accessory uses to their other properties in the area.
The current shoreline designation is conservancy. Under the
conservancy designation no commercial uses would be permitted.
The recommended designation is urban which is the only shoreline
designation which would permit development of Corporate Park type
uses. A review of the Conservancy designaiton was agreed to when
the Weyerhauser property was annexed.
The area on the Sound consists of 35 single family lots. The
properties are zoned RS 7.2 (minimum lot size 7200). The
Comprehensive Plan Map designates the area as High Density Single
Family. Under the current shoreline designation of Rural, lots
could be subdivided if the lots created are a minimum of five
acres. However, there is a provision to reduce the lots down to
15,000 square feet if it meets certain criteria. The only two
possible lots that would qualify under the criteria are already
configured with two lots, so there would be no net increase of
lots under the rural designation. Under the urban designation,
the lot size is determined by underlying zoning. Assuming that
the there are no topography issues and that access could be
worked out, the change could under the worst case scenario,
create 25 additional lots. However, since many of the lots are
not conducive to subdivision due to the way the lots are
configured and placement of existing structures, the reality of
seeing even half that many develop is unlikely.
I will have maps available at the meeting to illustrate this
clearly.
I have also attached wording on setbacks per your direction.
Please read this to verify that we have captured your concerns.
Sec. la-XXX Residential development
3. Setbacks
a. Single famuily residential development shall maintain a
minimum setback behind the stringline setback or 50 feet from the
ordinary high water mark whichever is greater except in the
following cases:
1. If the property is undeveloped and reasonable use of the
property cannot occur without further encroachement of the
setback due to physical constraints of the lot, then the
Director of Communtiy Development can reduce the setback to
the minimum necessary in order to build a single family home
but in no case less than 30 feet from the ordinary
highwater mark.
2. If the property is developed with a single family home
within 50 feet of the ordinary.high water mark, then the
residence can only be added to if the addition will not
make the structure any more non-conforming as to its setback
or the applicant may request a shoreline variance and
conditional use permit.
3. If the residential development is proposed on shorelines
that include one or more sensitive areas, as defined in
Chapter 22, such development shall maintain setbacks in
accordance with regulations and procedures set forth in
Article XIV of Chapter 22 of the Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) .
b. Multifamily residential development shall maintain a setback
behind the stringline setback or 75 feet from the ordinary high
water mark whichever is greater except in the following cases:
1. If the property is undeveloped and reasonable use of the
property cannot occur without further encroachement of the
setback due to physical constraints of the lot, then the
setback can be reduced to the minimum necessary in order to
build a single family home but in no case less than 30 feet
of the ordinary highwater mark.
2. If the property is developed with a single or multifamily
structure within 75 feet of the ordinary high water mark,
then the structure can only be added to if the addition will
not make the structure any more non-conforming as to its
setback.
3. If the residential development is proposed on shorelines
that include one or more sensitive areas, as defined in
Chapter 22, such development shall maintain setbacks in
accordance with regulations and procedures set forth in
Article XIV of Chapter 22 of the Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) .
36 Office and commercial development
2. Office and commercial development shall maintain a setback
behind the stringline setback or 75 feet from the ordinary high
water mark whichever is greater excet in the following cases:
a. If the property is developed with a structure within 75
feet of the ordinary high water mark, then the structure can
only be added to if the addition will not make the
structure any more non-conforming as to its setback.
b. If a development is proposed on shorelines that include
one or more sensitive areas, as defined in Chapter 22, such
development shall maintain setbacks in accordance with
regulations and procedures set forth in Article XIV of
Chapter 22 of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
Stringline setback- a straight line drawn between the points on
the primary buildings having the greatest projection (including
appurtanant structures such as decks) waterward on the two
adjacent properties.

At the Committee's June 1st meeting there were several questions raised about proposed
provi.~i()ns in the Shoreline Master Program regulations. Kathy McClung has provided me with a
summary of those questions and I have rcvicwed them relative to the specific issue of water
quality and salmon habitat protection.
Keep in mind that the City's environmentally sensitive areas regulations deal specifically with
waleI' quulily issues in the context of streams, wetlands, regulated ponds, wiJdlife and fish
huhilats, und erosion of steep slopes. A variety of mitigation measures are provided, such as
buffers, native vegetation retention/installation, drainage controls, linlÍlalíòhs on certain uses, elc.
This is not to say that added protective measures in the Shoreline Ma.~ter Program are not
necessary, rather they should be viewed in the context of the City's total set of environmental
protection regulations and support those efforts.
Below! have responded to the questions raised in the order that they appear in the master
program.
I) What is the physical or ecological carrying capacity and how is it applied? epg. 4, pg. 8, and
pg. 16)
These are general terms commonly found in policy statements that arc intended to recognize
that an a~se~sment of site specific circumstances should be undertaken to determine whether
a proposed development is compatible with the nature of a specific section of shoreline and
what mitigation requirements might be appropriate. As such there are no numerical values
associated with these terms. The designation of the three shoreline environments and their
associated regulations are intended to recognize the general differences in physical
limitations/carrying capacities of the City's shorelines.
2) Should there be a. policy which limits the amount of impervious surfaces? (pg. 8 and pg. 9)
A genem! policy statement that impervious sUifaccs should be kept to the minimum
necessary for reasonable development and use of a site could certainly be addcd. However,
GO'd
BG : £I 301 B6-6 -NOr
[tZt6 ON X1I/Y.LI
oc: t1 3fll 86/60/90
(he shore! inc regulations apply to aU land which is within 200 feet of a regulated shoreline.
Many if not a majority of the residential lots around Steel Lake, for example. have nearly
their entire area within the 200 foot of the shoreline. A couple of approaches might be:
a. Prohibit or limit the amount of impervious surfaces that are waterward of the primary
structUre, or
b. Prohibit impervious surfaces within the shoreline setback area.
3) Commcrcial forests. (pg. 16)
This refcrence to commercial foresL~ is a hold over from the King County SMMP and should
have been removcd form the current draft (my mistake). Thcre are no commercial forests in
Federal Way and I am not aware of any areas in the City that would have stands of
commercially viable trees. This reference will be eliminated from the final draft.
4) What are biophysical limitations? (pg. 17)
This is a common policy term that is similar to 'physical limitations' and 'carrying capacity'
and is used somewhat synonymously with those tenllS. It means the total combination of
physical constraints (topography. soils, etc.) and on-site wildlife (land and aquatic), plant life.
and habitat.
5) How are the shoreline environment designations appJied? (pg. 31, pg. 39, pg. 41)
The criteria given for each of the three shoreline environment designations are not additive.
In other words meeting anyone of the criteria would make it a candidate for that
environmental designation. The exception would be criteria #5 for Urban and criteria #3 for
Rural. These two are not so much criteria as they are a qualifier: i.e. the Urban or Rural
designation would not be applied if there were any or a combination of those physical
features listed. In that case the designation would default to Conservancy. Note that the
Shoreline Master Program shoreline environment designations map proposed for the various
City shoreIine>s appears to be consistent with these criteria.
6) Urhan and Rural residential shoreline setbacks. (pg.32)
The 20 fool shoreline setback is another hold over from the County SMMP and is very
minimal. The primary benefit of a smaller setback is to ensure that the use of a property is
nO! regulated away or to recognize the presence of some physical constraint such as a steep
hluff on the upland portion of a lot. Larger sctbacks have sevcral benefits including
preservation of views from adjacent properties, increasing the distance that run-off from hard
surfaces must travel before entering the water. and minimizing disruption from constntction
activities. Our office functions as shoreline administrators for several Lake Washington
jurisdictions and the average residential shoreline setback is about 50 fcct.

Int6 ON n:/:U]
Ot: tt 3!ll 96160/90
A rough review of shoreline lots in the City (i.e. scaled off of a city-widc map) suggcsts that a
majority of the lots arc ovce 150 fect deep. In view of this I would suggest going to a 75 foot
shoreline setback, with a provision that would provide for a reduction down to 30 feet to
allow for reasonable use.
7) Reduction of setback for commercial properties. (pg, 36)
TIII~ rcùuced setback inccntive for conuneccial developments providing public access to the
shoreline is not a necessary provision, The intent is to encourage new development to
provide for public access to privatc shorelines, which is a goal of the Shorcline Management
Act. 'Access' docs not necessarily have to include the ability to actually walk eight up to the
shoreline edge; it could simply be visual access, such as providing a viewpoint. This
provision would only potentially effect a handful of properties on Steel Lake and Lake
Kilarney, which have some commercial zoning. This provision can be removed if ¡he
Commitlee sees it as a conflict with salmon habitat protection.
8) Puvement in residential subdivisions. (pg.42)
My understanding is that perhaps roadways, driveways, and parking surfaces within shoreline
areas should not be hard surfaces. It does not appear from a brief look at a City map that
there ure that many public streets within the regulated shoreline areas. This also appears to
be true for parking areas, aI¡hough there are hard surfaced parking areas associated with the
shoreline parks. There are trade-offs on this issue. Paved roadways and parking areas are
gcnerally required to have run-off detention facilities that include oil/water separators. A
gravel surface would not rctain toxic substances such as oil, which could then leach into the
soil and penetrate into near surface aquifers.
This issue is probably more appropriate>ly addressed in the City's roadways, parking, and
perh"ps subdivision standards, rathe>r than in the shorc:line> maste>r program.

PROGRAM AND SHORELINE REGULATIONS
- SHORELINE MASTER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1.
BACKGROUND
The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan contains goals and policies that
provide for shoreline management as required under growth
management.
The City adopted the King County Shoreline Master Program and
regulations in 1990 with the city's incorporation. The adopted King
County regulations and Program includes outdated language and
regulates types of shorelines that do not apply to Federal Way.
Other policies and regulations are not specific enough to the
City's shorelines since King County was written for a broader range
of shoreline uses and environments. The Comprehensive Plan states
that the City shall develop a Shoreline Master Program that is
consistent with community values, land use and environmental
protection.
The shorelines in the City that are regulated include those along
Puget Sound, all of Steel Lake, and those portions of North Lake
and Lake Killarney that are located within the City's boundaries.
II .
PLANNING COMM!SSION PROCESS
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 1st 1998.
The City staff provided the Commission with an overview of issues
and draft regulatory provisions as drafted by a consultant. The
hearings were devoted to a section-by-section review of the
recommended regulatory language contained in the March 24, 1998
consultant staff report.
I I I. SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS
The following list summarize the major code amendments reviewed by
1
the Commission during this code revision process.
3.
Replacement of the adopted King County Shoreline Master
Program (Title 25) with a Federal Way Master Program. The new
Master Program deletes sections of the King County Code that
do not apply to this city.
Amendment to Chapter 18 of the FWCC to adopt applicable
regulations for shoreline development.
Change the shoreline map designation for the properties along
the North Lake from Conservancy to Urban and the properties
along the portion of the puget Sound between Dumas Bay Retreat
Center and Poverty Bay Park from Rural to Urban.

PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Commission bases its recommendation of adoption of the
proposed amendments to the FWCC relative to the Shoreline
Management Program and related regulations based on the following
findings:
1. The City's shoreline areas are an important feature to
the City's character and quality of life; and
2. The existing shoreline regulations and Shoreline Master
Program are King County regulations in place at time of the
City's incorporation and do not reflect the Federal Way
community values and specifics of this area; and
3. The proposed amendments are consistent with the
provisions of the Natural Environment chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan including the following:
NEG10- Create a new shoreline master program that is
consistent with community values, land use and
environmental protection.
NEP44 - The City should create a new Shoreline Master
Program that is consistent with State law, and the policy
direction of the Natural Environment and Land Use
chapters of this Plan.
NEP45- The Shoreline Master Program should recognize the
unique recreational and natural habitat of the City's
shorelines; and
4. The proposed shoreline designation map changes will
remove the inconsitency between the Federal Way Comprehenive
Plan Map and existing zoning and more accurately reflect
current uses and densities of the properties.

5. The Federal Way SEPA responsible official issued a
Declaration of Nonsignificance on April 1, 1998; and
7. The proposed code amendments would not adversely affect
the public health, safety or welfare.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
use this report as basis upon which the Commission
develops a recommendation of proposed Shoreline
Management Master Program amendments for City
Council consideration.
I.
INTRODUCTION
Severa! items have been identified and prioritized by the City Còuncil for completion during its
1997 Planning Commission work program. One of these tasks is a review and update of the
City's Shoreline Management Master Program (SMMP).
The scope of the review is to update the SMMP relative to the following items:
1. Whether the current designation of shoreline environments is still appropriate.
2. Eliminating those portions of the SMMP that are not applicable to Federal
Way's shorelines.
3. Updating the SMMP relative to amendments to the State Shoreline
Management Act.
4. Updating the SMMP to reflect requirements in ESHB 1724 Regulatory
Refonn.
5. Relating the SMMP to the Comprehensive Plan under GMA.
6. Updating the supporting development regulations.
II.
BACKGROUND
The SMMP is the document. along with supporting development regulations. which controls
development within 200 feet of a regulated shoreline. The City of Federal Way adopted its
current SMMP in February, 1990 at the same time as the City's incorporation. Since the City was
in the process of incorporating at that time and having to meet the requirements of the Growth
Management Act, the King County SMMP and supporting development regulations were
adopted by reference in order to comply with the State Shoreline Management Act. This was a
reasonable choice since much of the City's shoreline was developed under the County's
regulations.
The King County SMMP contains policies and regulations for a much broader range of land uses
and activities than are found or allowed on Federal Way's shorelines. Examples would be forest
practices and industrial uses. Other policies and regulations may not be specific enough to the
City's shorelines since the King County SMMP was written for a greater variety of shoreline uses
and environments.
The King County SMMP had also not been updated for some time. Since the City's adoption of
the SMMP there have been several changes to the State Shoreline Management Act relative to
pennit process, clarification of language used in the Act, and the relationship to other planning
processes. These updates do not dramatically change the Act, but they do need to be reflected in
the City's SMMP.
The shorelines in the City that are regulated under the SMMP are those along Puget Sound, all of
Steel Lake, and those portions of North Lake and Lake Kilarney that are located within the City's
boundaries. The land uses along the Puget Sound shoreline consist of parks and single family
residential development. Steel Lake's shoreline is developed as single family residences, with the
exception of a multiple family development at the west end of the lake and a portion of Steel lake
Park. The North Lake shoreline is adjacent to the Weyerhaeuser corporate headquarters, which is
zoned CP-I (Corporate Park). Land along the Lake Kilarney shoreline is zoned OP-I (Office
Park I), with a small portion of single family residential and a park.
III.
PROVISIONS NOT ApPLICABLE TO THE CITY
The Federal Way shorelines are developed primarily in residential and recreational uses', with
limited commercial development on two of the lakes. The SMMp contains a number of chapters
and sections that deal with issues and policies for land uses that do not occur on the City's
shorelines. Therefore, these sections can be removed. The table of contents of the attached draft
SMMP depicts the uses or activities that do not occur or that are not allowed on the City's
shorelines by a strike tRFIJügh.
The attached draft of the SMMp also contains edits to the document so that the text containing
descriptions and policies is updated specific to Federal Way. They are also indicated with a
strike through or an underline.
The regulations that implement the SMMP also contain provisions for uses and activities that are
not applicable to the City's shorelines. The provisions pertaining to those uses and issues deleted
from the SMMP may also be removed from the City's shoreline regulations.
IV.
SHORELINE ENVIRONMENT DESIGNA nONS
The existing SMMP designates four shoreline environments: Urban, Rural, Conservancy, and
Natural. Each environment category includes: (I) a definition describing the development, use
2
'and/or features which characterize the area, (2) a purpose which clarifies the meaning and intent
of the designation, and (3) general policies designed to regulate use and development consistent
with the character of the designated environment. We have reviewed these designations and
their locations on the City's shorelines to determine if they are still appropriate,
A,
URBAN ENVIRONMENT
The Urban Environment is an area of high intensity land use including residentiål,'commercial,
and recreational development. This Environment is particularly suitable to those areas presently
subjected to extremely intensive use pressure, as well as areas planned to accommodate urban
expansion, and areas currently in urban use, The Urban Environment designation includes two
sections of the Puget Sound shoreline, all of the shoreline around Steel Lake, the Lake Kilarney
shoreline that is within the City, and approximately half of the North Lake shoreline that is in the
City.
The areas designated as Urban are all characterized by urban uses, either single family
residential, multiple family residential, office uses, or parks. The underlying zoning also allows
for these uses and densities. Therefore, it appears that the sections of the City's shoreline
designated as Urban Environments are appropriate and do not require a different designation.
B.
RURAL ENVIRONMENT
The purpose of designating the Rural Environment is to preserve agricultural land, restrict
intensive development along undeveloped shorelines, function as a buffer between urban areas,
and maintain open spaces and opportunities for recreational uses within the ecological carrying
capacity of the land and water resource. New developments in a Rural Environment should
reflect the character of the surrounding area by limiting density, providing pennanent open space
and by maintaining adequate building setbacks from water to prevent shoreline resources from
being destroyed for other of uses.
Currently, the Rural designation exists for three sections of the Puget Sound shoreline. These
areas are developed with single family residences at urban densities. The exception to this
pattern of development is the Dumas Bay Center.
The development regulations for the Rural designation are basically the same as for the Urban
designation, with the exception of allowed densities. Most of these sections of the shoreline are
also zoned for single family residential development at densities higher than that specified in the
Rural designation.
C. CONSERVANCY ENVIRONMENT
The Conservancy Environment consists of shoreline areas which are generally free from
intensive development. It is the most suitable designation for shoreline areas of high scenic or
historical values, parks and recreation, and for areas unsuitable for development due to sensitive
areas.
The Conservancy designation occurs at Dash Point State Park, properties along Dash Point itself,
the undeveloped Poverty Bay Park, a residential section of the Puget Sound shoreline towards the
north end of the City, and approximately one-half of the North Lake'shoreline that is in the City,
The Conservancy designation for the two park sites is clearly appropriate. This designation also
3
Appears appropriate due to the presence of steep slopes in those two sections of the Puget Sound
shoreline.
The North Lake shoreline is partially developed with Weyerhauser corporate offices. The
underlying zoning for this portion of the North lake shoreline is Office Park (OP) and only
pennits office type development. As a result, the shoreline for this area of the lake might be
more appropriately changed to an Urban designation.
D.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The Natural Environment consists of areas characterized by the presence of some unique natural
features considered valuable in their undisturbed or original condition and which are relatively
intolerant of intensive human use. Such areas should be essentially free from development or be
capable of being easily restored to natural condition, and they should be large enough to protect
the value of the resource.
The only Natural Environment designated in the City is on the Puget Sound shoreline at Dumas
Bay Park. This is a short section of shoreline that has been left in an essentially unaltered state.
Therefore, this appears to be an appropriate designation for this location.
v.
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
The City's Municipal Code Chapter 18, Article ill Shoreline Management adopts the King
County shoreline management regulations by reference. These regulations are referenced as
King County Code Title 25 Shoreline Management and include the following chapters:
25.04 Purpose - Title - Scope
25.08 Definitions
25.12 Environment Designations
25.16 Urban Environment
25.20 Rural Environment
25.24 Conservancy Environment
25.28 Natural Environment
These chapters, as amended by the recommendations within this section, should be incorporated
into Chapter 18, Article ill and numbered accordingly. Each of the above King County chapters
is discussed below. Appendix B contains the full edited text of the updated shoreline
development regulations.
25.04 Purpose - Title - Scope
The existing Sections 18-161 and 18-163 of the City's Shoreline Management regulations address
the issues of purpose and authority, and jurisdiction. They essentially cover the same regulatory
intent as those in King County 25.04. This chapter of the King County code can be deleted.
25.08 Definitions
The King County shoreline code contains sixty-five definitionB. Approximately half of these
definitions are either common to the City's overall Municipal Code (e.g. height, Department,
nonconfonning use) or that pertain to items that are not applicable to the City's shorelines. These
4
. r
'definitions can be deleted, leaving thirty-two definitions to be incorporated into Chapter 18,
Article Ill.
25.12 Environment Designations
This chapter outlines the purpose and establishes the adopted shoreline environment
designations. This chapter is edited to be specific to Federal way.
25.16 Urban Environment
This chapter specifies allowed uses and activities within the Urban Environment designation and
their associated development conditions. As with the SMMP as a whole, this ch,apter includes
uses and activities that are either not allowed due to underlying zoning or that~9 not occur on
the City's shorelines. The following sections may be deleted from this chapter:
Agricultural Practices
Aquatic Resource Practices
Forest Management Practices
Industrial Development
Commercial
A new section has been added to reflect the allowed Office zoning district adjacent to North
Lake. The rest of the section has been edited to be specific to Federal Way
25.20 Rural Environment
25.24 Conservancy Environment
25.28 Natural Environment
These sections have been similarly edited to reflect the policies and uses in a similar manner as
with the Urban Environment.
VI.
SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENTS
In 1996 the State Shoreline Management Act (SMA) was amended to clarify several provisions
relating to developments exempt from shoreline permits, remove language that was in conflict
with the Growth Management Act, and to clarify permit processes. (Note: more extensive
amendments to the SMA were anticipated in 1997, however, the State legislature remanded the
proposed amendments back to Department of Ecology staff for further consideration). The
Washington Administrative Code CW AC) 173-27 establishes the rules and procedures for
processing shoreline pennits, including what type of developments are exempt from the shoreline
permit requirement. Note that the SMA procedural amendments have been given a new chapter
number. All references in the City's codes that reference WAC 173-14 should be amended to
reference WAC 173-27.
Development on the City's shorelines is regulated through the Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit (SOP) process. If not specified as exempt in the WAC. projects will
usually require a shoreline permit if they cost more than $2,500 or involve grading in excess of
5
250 cubic yards of material. The exception is for residential piers on fresh water, which have a
dollar threshold of $10,000.
Single family homes built by the landowners for their own residence are generally exempt from
the permit requirement. A single family home also includes those structures and developments
that are considered a nonnal appurtenance. Thc SMA identifies garages decks, driveways,
utilities, fences, septic tanks and drainfields as nonnal appurtenances, but it also gives the local
jurisdiction the authority to add other items.
The SMA also identifies grading less than 250 cubic yards as a nonnal appurtenance to a single
family home. However, in many cases a single family home will require greater than 250 cubic
yards of grading, which includes any importing, exporting, and onsite movement of material.
This apparent conflict in the SMA has been clarified by Department of Ecology staff: as long as
the dirt being moved is a result of excavation necessary for such things as the footings,
foundations, or retaining walls of a residence and the excavated material is being removed from
the regulated shoreline area, then the development of a single family home is exempt from the
pennit requirement. The City's SMMP should include this clarification and have it reflected in
the supporting development regulations.
VII.
ESHB 1724 - REGULA TORY REFORM
As mentioned above, additional amendments to the SMA were anticipated in 1997, many of
which were intended to respond to the legislative requirements ofESHB 1724 Regulatory
Refonn. Since that did not occur the items specific to ESHB 1724 are few. The City adopted
provisions to enact ESHB 1724 last year which specify permit process procedures and
requirements. The one item that should be included is that the appeal period for appealing a
decision on a shoreline permit has been changed from 30 days to 21 days.
VIII. GMA
Under the Growth Management Act the goals and policies of a shoreline master program are
considered as an element of the City's comprehensive plan. This update of the SMMP has been
reviewed relative to land use and shoreline policies of the comprehensive plan and it appears that
the revisions and updates are consistent with the plan. It is not required that the SMMP be
incorporated directly into the comprehensive plan; a simple reference to the SMMP is sufficient.
It should also be noted that the adoption process for an updated SMMP is separate from the
comprehensive plan amendment process.

7he Monthly Financial Report (MFR) is intended to provide an overview of financial activity that have taken
place in the reporting period. This report focuses mainly on activity incurred in the following operating funds:
General, Street, Arterial Street, Utility Tax Projects, Solid Waste, Snow and Ice Removal, Paths & Trail, Surface
Water Management, Strategic Reserve, Airport Strategic Reserve, Debt Service, and Dumas Bay Centre. The
Summary of Sources and Uses (Attachment A) captures financial activity through September for the years 1994
through 1998.
SUMMARY
Overall, operating revenues $25,887,910 are above the monthly budget projection of $23,831,259 as of
September 1998, and operating expenditures $21,752,801 are also within the anticipated budget expenditures
$21,922,048 for the period. The above results in the City's operating funds having a projected increase in fund
balance of $2,225,899 as of the end of September, 1998. Of this amount $1,097,899 is related to Utility taxes
and REET which are for the payment of debt service.
. REVENUES
The City has collected $25,887,910 or 74.0% of the annual operating budget ($34,975,604) thru September.
Operating revenues have grown $3,122,236 or 13.7% compared with activity through September 1997
($22,765,674) due primarily to the addition of a utility tax rate increase which was not effective until March, 1997.
- The favorable variance is also attributed to Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET) which are continuing to exceed
budgetary estimates by $973,968 or 119.1% (Attachment A reflects an estimated accrual for September 1998).
In addition, fines and forfeitures are exceeding budgetary projections by $121,266 or 24.0%.
State-shared revenues are exceeding budgetary estimates by $410,954 or 11.8%. Local criminal justice sales
tax to date of $904,726 is exceeding the estimated revenues ($771,134) by $133,592 or 17.3%. Liquor Profits
collected ($404,650) are above budgetary estimates ($307,539) by $97,111 or 31.6%. Equalization is exceeding
estimated revenues ($120,255) by $70,796 or 58.9%.

Chapter 2
Since the 1995 initial adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the City adopted a code
amendment defining essential public facilities and setting up a process for siting these public
facilities. As a result, certain changes are being proposed to Section 2.9 -- Essential Public
Facilities (page 11-39) to reflect these changes. The LUTC had a question about what was
considered essential public facilities. The following State and City definitions of essential
public facilities are being provided in response:
(i)
Copy of RCW 36. lOA. 200 ---Siting of Essential Public Facilities (Exhibit F).
RCW 36. lOA. 200, Section 3 states that
"(/) The comprehensive plan of each county and city that is planning under this
chapter shall include a process for identifying and siting essential public facilities.
Essential public facilities include those faci/ities that are typically difficult to site,
such as airports, state educationfaci/ities and state or regional transportation
facilities as defined in section 1 of this act state and local correctionalfacilities,
solid waste handling facilities, and in-patient facilities including substance abuse
facilities, mental health facilities, and group homes.
(2) The office offinancial management shall maintain a list of those essential state
public faci/ities that are required or likely to be bui/t within the next six years. The
office of financial management may at any time addfacilities to the list. No local
comprehensive plan or development regulations may preclude the siting of essential
public facilities. "
Section 7 was a new section added during the 1998 legislative session. A copy of this
new section 7 is attached as Exhibit G. This section lists the types of transportation
facilities and services considered to be of statewide significance.
The list of essential public facilities referenced above is actually the State of

(i)
The LUTC requested staff to research the reason why Policy CCP41 (page VIl-24)
was being recommended to be deleted. The following summarizes the results of this
research:
The Downtown Parking Zoning Code Amendment was approved by the City Council
on June 17, 1998. In part, this code amendment provided that for the City Center
Core or City Center Frame, the number of parking spaces may be reduced by up to 20
percent if accompanied by an approved traffic demand management plan which
includes transportation demand management options such as, but not limited, to
private vanpool operation, transiVvanpool fare subsidy, preferential parking for
carpools/vanpools, flexible work-hour schedules, participation in a ride-matching

review in the Community Development Services Office.

program or bicycle parking facilities. This code amendment also allowed the
reduction in the City Center Core or City Center Frame if the use in question for
which a reduction was being requested was located adjacent to a public street
classified to allow on-street parking and the applicant made a one-time contribution
to a City fund established to fund development of on-street parking. Parking could
also be reduced in the City Center Core and Frame by up to 20 percent if a parking
study pursuant to city code was provided and approved.
Based on this code amendment, Policy CCP41 no longer appeared relevant, and
therefore, staff recommended deleting it.
(ii)
Under Section 7.4. Implementation (page VIl-26), the LUTC stated that
implementation language was written in the future tense whereas accomplishments
were written in the past tense. This was confusing and awkward. Staff was requested
to address this possibly by separating out the two and adding a new section on
accomplishments. This has been done and can be found on pages VII-26 through VIl-
29.
The following change was made in response to LUTC comments
(iii)
Page VII-28 --Work with the transit providers to develop a detailed transit plan for the City
Center. Identify facilities, services, acquisition strategies, and implementation measures needed
to make transit a viable and attractive travel mode. Tailor the plan to meet local needs, through

the year 2005, it does not show buildings constructed after the initial adoption of the
comprehensive plan in 1995. For clarification purposes, staff was also requested to
put the following wording on the map For Illustrative Purposes Only.

been added.

VI. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
I.
Section 22-524. Factors to Be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The city may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan:
( I) The effect upon the physical environment.
The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and
accompanying map changes will not affect the physical environment. An evaluation of
10
potential impacts to the environment as a result of both the non-project action and the
project-specific requests was conducted and a threshold determination [Determination of
Non-significance (DNS)] pursuant to th" State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) was
issued on May 4, 1998.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and
accompanying map changes will not affect open space, streams and lakes. An evaluation
of potential impacts to the environment as a result of both the non-project action and the
project-specific requests was conducted and a threshold determination [Determination of
Non-significance (DNS)] pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) was
issued on May 4, 1998. The site specific requests include two annexation requests and
four requests for comprehensive plan amendments. Some of the requests are for sites
which contain environmentally sensitive areas. If the requests are approved, at the time
that the sites are proposed for development, any potential adverse effects on open space,
streams and lakes will be addressed through the review process.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and ,'urrounding
neighborhoods.
The proposed amendments to update the chapters of the comprehensive plan and
accompanying map changes will not impact adjacent land uses and surrounding
neighborhoods, The site specific requests include two annexation requests and four
requests for comprehensive plan amendments. These requests, if approved, will not be
incompatible with nor should they impact surrounding neighborhoods.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public
transportation, parks, recreation, and schools.
The Capital Facilities Chapter has been updated to address the adequacy of community
facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation, and schools.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
Updating the comprehensive plan is of benefit to Federal Way neighborhoods, the City of
Federal Way, and the region as existing information is being updated. This will provide a
better basis for decision making.
(6) The quantity and location of land plannedfor the propMed IlInd use type and den,\'¡ty
and the demandfor such land.
This update does not represent a substantial departure in land use within the existing city
boundary. Population to be added if the proposed annexations are approved would result
in approximately the same amount of population or less that could be accommodated
within the unincorporated area in the absence of such annexations.
II
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
As of July I, 1998, the official city population from the Washington State of Office of
Financial Management was 76,820. The present density is 3,590 people per square mile.
No new population projections were done as part of the comprehensive plan update. Please
also refer to response under (6) above.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
There should not be any adverse impacts on the comprehensive plan as a result of
proposed changes.
2.
Sec. 22-525. Criteria for amending the comprehensive plan.
The city may amend the comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare; and
Updating the comprehensive plan will result in better information for decision making
purposes which has an indirect relationship to public health, safety and welfare. In
particular, the transportation related changes are safety related.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see response under (1) above.
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36. 70A and with
the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendment.
RCW Chapter 36. 70A, the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires all cities to adopt and
implement comprehensive plans and to amend them in a timely manner but no more than
once a year, except under certain circumstances. The City is responding to this mandate
by updating the comprehensive plan.
3.
Sec. 22-523. Zoning Text Amendment Criteria
The city may amend the text of Chapter 22- Zoning only if it finds that:
(i) The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provi.fions of the
comprehensive plan;
The amendments to the zoning text is being proposed in order to provide consistency
between the Transportation sections of the Comprehensive Plan and transportation related
sections in the Zoning Code.
12
(2) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety and
welfare; and
The proposed amendments to the zoning text address only transportation or traffic-related
issues. These changes will result in improved and safer access requirements, improve
circulation in the city and address transportation projects to resolve high crash rate
locations.
(3) The proposed amendment is in the best intere,.t of the residents of the city.
The proposed changes to the zoning text should reduce traffic related accidents, improve
circulation and access and will be in the best interests of the residents ofthe city.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings.
A. The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, as set forth in Exhibit
A hereto, reflect new or updated information, developed since the initial adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan, on capital improvements, transportation system standards, and
comprehensive plan policies. They therefore bear a substantial relationship to public health,
safety, and welfare, are in the best interest of the residents of the City, and are consistent with the
réquirements of RCW 36.70A, the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the
unamended portion of the Plan.
B. The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan land use and
transportation system maps, as set forth in Exhibit D hereto, are compatible with adjacent land
uses and surrounding neighborhoods, and will not negatively affect open space, streams, lakes or
wetlands, or the physical environment in general. They will allow for growth and development
consistent with the Plan's overall vision and with the Plan's land use element household and job
projections, and/or will allow reasonable use of property subject to constraints necessary to
ORD #
. PAGE 3
protect environmentally sensitive areas. They therefore bear a substantial relationship to public
health, safety, and welfare, are in the best interest of the residents of the City, and are consistent
with the requirements ofRCW 36.70A, the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the
unamended portion of the Plan.
C. The proposed amendments to the zoning map, and to the development
regulations, as set forth in Exhibits B, C, and D hereto, are consistent with the applicable
provisions ofthe comprehensive plan, bear a substantial relation to public health, safety and
welfare, and are in the best interest of the residents of the City.
Section 2. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Adoption. The 1995 City of
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, including its land use element map and transportation system
maps, a copies of which are on file with the Office of the City Clerk, hereby are and shall be
amended as set forth in Exhibits A and D hereto, a copy of which is on file with the Office of the
City Clerk and which documents are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full.
Section 3. Development Regulations and Zoning Map Amendments Adoption.

The Honorable Mahlon "Skip" Priest
Mayor, City of Federal Way
33530 First Way South
Federal Way, Washington 98003
Dear Mayor Priest:
Thank you for sending us the City of Federal Way's adopted comprehensive plan.
We note that your plan was adopted on November 21, 1995, but that local notice
was not published until January 3, 1996, and that we did not receive copies until
January 24, 1996. The comments below are based on our review of your adopted
plan and build on our October 1995 letter, checklist, and draft plan review.
We recognize that the City of Federal Way has expended a great deal of time,
energy, and resources in developing its comprehensive plan. As we stated in our
October comments, your plan contains many strong points and articulates realistic
and promising visions for your city center. We support you in your effort to fulfill
those visions. However, we are concerned that a number of important issues
raised in our review were not addressed in your adopted plan. Therefore, we
rêquest that the issues detailed in our October review and the points highlighted
below be docketed for inclusion in your first year's plan amendments.
As written, your adopted comprehensive plan does not yet comply with several
requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA). The plan's most serious
deficiencies are in the land Use Element and the 6-year financial plans for the
Capital Facilities and Transportation Elements.
The discussion below expands on several of the key points identified in our October
1995 letter and checklist review.
land Use
One of the goals of the GMA is the reduction of low-density sprawl. As we noted
in October, the City should be aware that the Central Puget Sound Growth
Management Hearings Board has found that densities of one dwelling unit per acre
--e.-

are generally not appropriate urban densities. By not establishing a minimum
density in the adopted plan's "Single Family High Density" designation, or even
defining the term (see p. 11-13). the City has created a legal loophole that allows
development at less than urban densities.
It is unclear whether the plan actually establishes a goal or policy for its "Single
Family High Density" designation. The statement that "urban densities of 9600,
7200, and 5000 square feet provide a range of housing densities" (p. 11-13) is not a
goal statement or a policy. likewise, while Table 11-5, on page 11-20, shows
conversion values for land use categories and zoning, the text above it states that
"upon adoption of this Comprehensive Plan, the City will consider revisiC"ls to the
zoning code, consistent with Comprehensive Plan direction". "Consider is not the'
same as "shall" or "will"; it does not establish a commitment or POliCY.
The City of Federal Way appears to have no real "Single Family High Density" goal
or policy. With over 50 percent of the City's land area in a residential designation,
and a vast majority of that in "Single Family High Density", the adopted plan will
not prevent single family residential areas from developing at less than urban
densities. In fact, the City's other single family designations, "Single Family Low
Density" (one unit per five acres) and "Single Family Medium Density" (one to three
units per acre), actually assure that new single family development will not be built
at urban densities.
We also noted in October that the City needed to "show its work" if it wished to
justify one and five acre single family lots in environmentally constrained areas.
However, the adopted land Use Element eliminates almost all references to actual
acreage. It is impossible to determine the total number of acres that have been
designated single family low, medium or high density, or how those areas relate to
any critical area designations that may overlay them.
It is clear that the City has measured its land base and caiculated the acreage. The
comprehensive plan maps are based on GIS data, and in later plan elements
measurements are expressed in terms of acres. In the Capital Facilities Element,
parks, schools, and recreation areas are measured in acres (p. VIA). The level of
service for parks is set at 10.9 acres per 1,000 residents (p. VI-6). Unfortunately;
the City has chosen not to include any calculation of acreage in the land Use
Element. The land Use Element lists land uses as a percentage of the gross land
area (p. 11-8), and summarizes residential development capacity in terms of net
square footage (p. II-g). Unfortunately, it provides no useful data to indicate the
average number of units per acre the City is planning for in its single or multi-family
residential areas.

p" Priest
Likewise, the plan's analysis of land use capacities fails to provide actual acreage
figures in its calculation of net developable square footage. The issue of units per
acre was raised in our October review because it provides an important planning
measure; it indicates whether public infrastructure, such as roads, sewers, water
lines, and storm drains, can be provided in a cost-effective manner and whether
public transit systems are economically viable. However, rather than examining the
issue by "showing its work" in the land Use Element, the City has done the
opposite by obscuring the actual land area measurements.
6-Year Financial Plans
The Growth Management Act requires that comprehensive plans include detailed
funding plans for their Capital Facilities Elemel1t and their Transportation Element.
These financial plans must look out at least 6 years in anticipation of current needs
and projected demands. They must include those projects that will be necessary to
maintain adopted level of service standards. Further, they must identify actual and
probable funding sources for those projects. The GMA recognizes that the need for
capital facilities and transportation infrastructure are directly related to the pattern
of land uses and densities established by jurisdictions in their comprehensive plans.
land use is the engine that drives infrastructure cost. Each city and county must,
therefore, show how it will pay for the capital facilities and transportation
infrastructure required to support its land use plan.
As noted in our October review, the financial plans included in the Transportation
Element and the Capital Facilities Element are not complete. Funding for the Parks
and Recreation component includes a bond issue that failed in 1995 (p. VI-6); a
failed bond issue cannot be considered "probable" funding. In order to operate its
oWn police department, the City of Federal Way will have to provide funds for the
facilities and equipment, yet a 6-year financial plan, reflecting costs and funding
sources, was not included in the Capital Facilities Element. Likewise, while the
Water Systems component references the lakehaven Utility Districts CIP, it fails to
provide any summary information on categories of projects, costs, or funding
sources. Summary tables of this information should be included in the Capital
Facilities Element. The Sewer Systems component includes a table of projects and
costs, but does not provide any information on specific funding sources. Again, the
lakehaven Utility District's CIP is referenced, but no specific funding information is
shown. At a minimum, a summary table of this information should be included in
the Capital Facilities Element. Finally, the Fire Facilities component should also
include a table of facilities, costs, and funding sources.
Both the Surface Water and the School Facilities components provide good detailed
information on projects and facilities, their costs, and their funding sources.

These two components do a good job of summarizing the required information;
they should serve as examples for the other components. It is important to
remember that while a crp can be incorporated into the Capital Facilities Element by
reference, the reference alone is not enough to ensure that the public has easy
access to information about the actual financial impacts. Where crps or utility
plans are included by reference, the City should, at a minimum, summarize project
information by key categories, and then identify the costs and funding sources.
The Capital Facilities Element does not need to repeat every single detail contained
in a CIP; but it does need summary level information on projects, costs, and funding
sources.
The Transportation Element contains a 6-year project and financial plan within the
TIP 1995-2010 (Table 111-20). that summarizes project and program expenditures
.and revenues. However, about 78 percent of the revenues needed to cover project
and program expenditures over the 6-year period are shown to come from
unspecified (Other) sources. The City's transportation needs are large, yet the
funding sources to pay for those needs are.limited. It is unclear how, or whether,
the City of Federal Way will actually be able to fund those projects.
The City's reliance on nearly 78 percent of its funding from "Other" sources does
not comply with the GMA requirement. that probable funding sources be identified.
The use of an unspecified "other" category does not constitute probable funding.
The Act further requires that jurisdictions re-assess their land Use Element if the
probable funding falls short of identified needs. In the City's policy related to
funding shortfalls, CFP 25 (p. VI-36), none of the four activities listed require
re-assessment of land use. The City of Federal Way's plan does not comply with
thè> re-assessment requirement either.
Other Issues
The Transportation Element contains a great deal of information. level of Service
standards are discussed at length; however, it is unclear whether the City actually
adopts any specific level of service standards. The plan states "the City's goal is to
maintain or improve upon a PM peak hour roadway level of service so that it is at
least as good as conditions existing today" (p. 111-32). However, specific level of
services are not shown for the arterial or transit routes, and are not adopted in any
of the policy statements. In fact, transportation policy TP-15, "Specify an
appropriate arterial level of service...," and TP-1 6, "Establish a level of service
standard based on planning methodology...," (p. 111-39), suggest that the City will
only be establishing level of services in the future.

The lack of adopted level of services makes the use of concurrency management
impossible. However, the Transportation Element has not adopted a program or
system for concurrency management either. It is identified as an activity in the
Implementation Process "Develop a Concurrency Management Strategy for the
City..." p. 111-88, but there are no timelines, so it is unclear when the City will
actually adopt and implement a concurrency management program. Without
adopted level of services and a system for assessing concurrency, the
Transportation Element is incomplete.
The GMA (RCW 36.70A.O60(1)} requires that "the land Use Element shall provide
for protection of quality and quantity of ground water used for public water
suppties." The plan does not adequately address either of these issues within the
land Use Element. The City's water supply comes from 25 wells that draw on a
large aquifer that underlies most of the area. As noted though, the ground water
withdrawal rate exceeds the recharge rate (p. 11-4). The City hopes to contract for
additional water, but the quantity and availability of this supply have not been
guaranteed at this point (p. VI-25). Further, while the City should be protecting
water quality in its land Use Element through the designation of appropriate land
uses and densities in well head protection and aquifer recharge areas, the land u_se-
maps have no designations for well head protection or aquifer recharge ar.eas.l
The plan actually states that the extent of the aquifer has not been mapped or
identified (p. VI-25). and that the City has not yet implemented a wellhead
protection program to map protection zones and buffers (p. IX-3 to IX-4). Given
the unknown extent of the aquifer, the lack of designated recharge areas, and the
absence of wellhead protection zones and buffers, it is unclear how the City of
~ederal Way can determine or justify the appropriateness of its overlying land uses
and densities. In this regard, the Land Use Element is inconsistent with the
adopted Countywide Planning Policies (p. IX-3) and the GMA.
The land Use Element contains a section on Essential Public Facilities (p. 11-17)
which includes a single policy declaring that the city code will be amended "...to
include a list of locally defined essential public facilities" (lUP50). If this is to be
the City's only policy on Essential Public Facilities, it does not meet GMA
requirements. Essential Public Facilities defined under the GMA refers to several
categories of facilities that are difficult to site, including specific facilities that are
defined and listed by the State's Office of Financial Management. The definition of
these essential public facilities is not a local option.
Finally, with many pieces of the comprehensive plan still incomplete, the City's
implementation program for its adopted plan takes on new importance. The
successful implementation of the plan will depend upon a careful and detailed

identification of plan deficiencies, policy and program priorities, city resources, and,
ultimately, the assignment of specific departmental responsibilities and timelines.
As written, the implementation section of the land Use Element (p. 11-19 to 11-20) is
incomplete. It does not define priorities, identify responsibilities, assign resources,
or establish goals, or estimate completion dates.
Thank you again for sending us a copy of your adopted comprehensive plan. We
look forward to reviewing the plan changes and future amendments that the City
will be making. We would also like to point out that the City of Federal Way is
entitled to a portion of Washington State's Growth Management Incentive Grant
administered through the King County Association of Suburban Cities. All of the
plan changes outlined above are eligible activities under the incentive grant
program. You may want to include some of these activities in your proposed scope
of work. If you have any questions or concerns about our comments or any other
growth management issues, please call Bill Satoris at (360) 586-2168, or
Ike Nwankwo at (360) 586-9118.

ill Afrer adoption of the comprehensive plan by jUCÌlldietion, required to plur¡ or who
choose to plan under RCW 36.70A040, local jurisdietions must adopt and enforce ordinances
which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a
locally owned transportation facility to decline below the standards adopted in the transporta-
tion element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to
accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the development. These
strategies may include increased public transportation service, ride sharing programs,
demand management, and other transportation systems management strategies. For the
purposes of this subsection (6) "concurrent with the development" ,hall mean that impr"ve-
ments or strategies are in plaee at the time of development, or that a financial commitment is
in place to complete the improvements or str.tegies within six yean;. .

(I) The comprehensive plan of each county and city that is planning unde¡' this chapter
shall include a process for identifying and siting essential public faciliti". Essential luhl;.'
facilities include those facilities that are typically difficult to site, such as airpo,~s, sta,
education facilities and state or regional transportation faeilities as defined in section 7 of this
act, state and local correctional facilities, solid waste handling facilities, and in-patient
!'iiCilities including suhstance abuse facilities, mental health facilities, and group homes.
(2) The office of fmancial management shall maintain a list of those essential state public
facilities that are required or likely to be built within the next six years. The office of
financial management may at any time add facilities to the list. No local comprehensive plan
or development regulation may preclude the siting of essential public facilities. -
Sec. 4. RCW 36.70A.210 and 1994 c 249 s 28 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The legislature recognizes that counties are regional governments within their bound-

areas. For the purposes of this ..ction, a "county-wide planning policy" is a written policy
statement or statements used solely for establishing a county-wide framework from wbich
county and city comprehensive plans are developed and adopted pursuant to this chapter.
This framework shall ensure that cIty and county comprehensive plans are consistent as
required in RCW 36.70A.lOO. Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter the land-use
powers of cities.
(2) The legislative authority of a county that plans under RCW 36.70A.040 shall adopt a
county-wide planning policy in cooperation with the cities located in whole or in part within
the collnty as follows:
(a) No later than sixty calendar days from July 16, 1991, the legislative .utholity of e'
county that as of June I, 1991,. was required or chose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 sh.
convene a meeting with representatives of each city located within the county for the purpose
of establishing a collaborative process that will provide a framework for the adoption of a
county-wide planning policy. In other counties that. are required or choose to plan under
RCW 36.70A.040, this meeting shall be convened no later than sixty days after the date the
county adopts its resolution of intention or was certified by the office of financial manage-

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
November 9, 1998
To:
Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Rick Perez, City Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT:
Response to Outside Agency Comments for the Comprehensive Plan
Transportation-Related Amendments
This memo responds to three letters received in response to the draft Comprehensive Plan
amendment following the Land Use/Transportation Committee's review. Each item summarizes
the issue raised by the reviewer, a staff response, and a staff recommendation.
October 21, 1998, Letter from WSDOT
1.
WSDOT raises the concern that Table IlI- 7 suggests that listing a project to construct
collector-distributor ramps on 1-5 between SR 18 and SR 161 implies that WSDOT agrees
that this is the preferred solution.
Response: Any improvements of this magnitude would obviously need to be studied in great
detail. Its listing in the City's comprehensive plan is intended only to suggest a potential
solution to the operational problems in this area.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
2.
The plans's description of the SR 509 extension should be updated to reflect the current
status of the project.
Response: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: On page IlI-52replace the last sentence of the full second paragraph with
the following, "The Tire 1 EIS for the SR 509 South Extension Project has selected
Alternative C as the preliminary preferred alternative. This particular alternative would join
[-5 near South 21 Oth Street and add capacity to 1-5 south to at least South 272nd Street"
3.
The first sentence of Section 3.6 is unclear.
Response: Staff concurs.
EXH~EHlr'j
PAGE __l--'OF 5
Recommendation: On page 88, replace, ".. .all planned freeway HOV lanes" with, "... the
freeway system in the region."
4.
WSDOT did not open the Office of Urban Mobility (OUM) because of the recognized
importance of HOV lanes in serving transit. GUM was created to coordinate long range and
emerging transportation planning issues between WSDOT, PSRC, and its member
jurisdictions.
Response: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: On page III-89, replace the fourth sentence of the first paragraph with the
following, "WSDOT created the Office of Urban Mobility to coordinate long range and
emerging transportation planning issues between WSDOT, PSRC, and its member
jurisdictions. "
5.
The RT A is now referred to as Sound Transit.
Response: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: Text has been revised already. No action is necessary.
6.
Land use impacts on modal choice are more effective whe~densities are combined with
design and diversity.
Response: Chapter 2 reflects this recommendation.
Recommendation: No revisions are necessary.
October 28,1998, Letter from Puget Sound Regional Council
I.
The level of service standard is difficult to understand.
Response: Chapter 2 reflects this recommendation.
Recommendation: On page III-53, revise the text ofTPI6 as follows: "The City's LOS
standard shall be E. This is defined herein as a volume/capacity ratio less than 1.00 in
accordance with Highway Capacity Manual (1994) operational analysis procedures. At
signalized intersections, the analysis shall be conducted using a 120-second cycle length and
level of service E is defined as less than 60 seconds of stopped delay per vehicle. Where
transit or HOV facilities are provided, the LOS shall be measured by average delay and
volume/capacity ratio per person rather than per vehicle. This standard shall be used to
identify concurrency needs and mitigation of development impacts. For long-range
-2-
EXHiB~1J
PAGE '_h..~OF---
transportation planning and concurrency analysis, a volume/capacity ratio of 0.90 or greater
will be used to identify locations for the more detailed operational analysis."
2.
The TIP should show how the projects would be funded.
Response: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: On page 1lI-112, add the following paragraphs immediately before the
heading "Funding Sources,"
"The City aggressively pursues federal and state funding sources for arterial street
projects in order to maximize the use of City funds to maintain City streets and fund
improvements to streets that would not fare well in grant-funding selection criteria. For
the purposes of identifying funding sources in compliance with GMA requirements, the
following strategies are used.
. Surface Transportation Program grants would be used to fund 86.5 percent of the
cost of projects that improve multi-modal mobility on arterial streets. State
Transportation Improvement Board (TIE) funding would be used to provide the
remaining 13.5 percent of the cost of projects.
. Hazard Elimination Program grants would be used to fund safety improvement
projects up to the maximum grant amount of$300,000. The City would fund the
remainder of the cost of the project or 10 percent, whichever is greater.
. Transportation Enhancement Program grants would be used to fund 80 percent of the
cost of non-motorized capital projects. The City would fund the remaining 20
percent.
. State TIE grants would be used to fund 80 percent of the cost of the remaining
arterial street projects. The City would fund the remaining 20 percent.
. Street projects on collectors would be funded by the City or adjacent development.
. Local street improvements would be funded by development.
Based on these criteria, the TIP would be funded as follows:
. Surface Transportation Program (Statewide and Regional): $31,741,500.
. Hazard Elimination Program: $600.000.
. Transportation Enhancement Program: $1,648,500.
. Transportation Improvement Board: $19,525,200.
. City funds: $1,751,900.
The City would be able to fund this level of improvements over the six-year period."
4.
GMA requires that the City address impacts on the transportation systems of adjacent
jurisdictions.

Re.\ponse: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: On page III-I 18, revise TP86 to read as follows, "Adopt interlocal
agreements with neighboring jurisdictions to identify methods to assure consistency
between comprehensive plans, and adopt fair and consistent means of addressing the
impacts of growth and development between jurisdictions without undue administrative
burdens."
November 2,1998, Letter from King County
I.
The County disagrees that close proximity to 1-5 for the Transit Center would limit
redevelopment into transit-supportive land uses.
Response: A freeway cannot support a transit-supportive land use. To maximize the ability
ofland to redevelop, the land must be developable.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
2.
Traffic impacts of the revised Transit Center location should be analyzed.
Response: Traffic impacts were considered when the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in
1995 showing the Transit Center on 18th Avenue South between South 316th Street and
South 320th Street. Since the proposed language is within close proximity to the site in the
existing plan, reconsideration of the traffic impacts is not necessary.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
3.
Costs for relocation and providing split transit service to new location and the existing
location should be addressed.
Response: The ideal that the City has in mind is to surplus the existing site, thus providing
funds for the new location and rendering moot the issue of split service.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
4.
The Comprehensive Plan does not address the need for HOY treatments.
Response: Transit and HOY needs are addressed in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of Chapter 3.
Recommendation: No revisions are necessary.
5.
The bus stop spacing as described in CCP25 is too restrictive.
-4-
EXH~Bt[=- I.
PAGE..-A. OF_5_-=
Response: Policy CCP25 of Chapter 7 refers to the spacing of pedestrian crossings, not bus
stops, and is related to the planned street spacing in the City Center.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
6.
Map VII-3 is not consistent with Maps VII-6 and VII- 7 in identifying the proposed Transit
Center location.
Response: Maps VII-6 and VII- 7 have been revised.
Recommendation: No additional revision is necessary.
7.
On Map VII-5, 25th Avenue South, south of South 320th Street, is shown as an existing
street. It currently is one-way northbound for transit only.
Response: If the existing park and ride lot is redeveloped, 25th Avenue South could be
revised to function as a regular street.
Recommendation: No revision is necessary.
8.
Policy CCP4I is in conflict with Goal CCG20 (Chapter 7).
Response: Staff concurs.
Recommendation: On page VII-25, revise the first sentence ofCCP4I to read as follows,
"Encourage public and private parking structures (below or above ground) in lieu of surface
parking in the core area."

District; and (2) annex the Annexation Property
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. Findings. The City Council hereby finds that:
A.
The proposed development agreement limits the density of the Annexation Property
by requiring that any development of the property owned by the Weyerhaeuser Company be limited
to a density no greater than 6 units per gross acre, and constructed in the fonTI of either detached
single-family dwellings or attached single-family condominium townhomes. These proposed
development agreement places the same limitations upon any change of use of the Fire District's
property.
B. The limitations will produce a density that is lower than what would otherwise be allowed
under existing King County zoning regulations, or under the RM 3600 Federal Way zoning
designation requested by the Weyerhaeuser Company for the Annexation Property.
C. The proposed development agreement also provides for the vesting of a Weyerhaeuser
development application to the City of Federal Way zoning regulations, rather than King County's
zoning regulations.
D. The proposed development agreement will not be detrimental to existing or potential
surrounding land uses as defined by the Comprehensive Plan, because any development will be
subject to existing Federal Way City Code provisions concerning drainage, landscaping, parking,
traffic, height, noise, and future use. These provisions protect the existing and potential surrounding
land uses trom any potential adverse impacts.
E. In light of the Findings in subsections I.A - I.D above, the proposed development
ORD#
,PAGE 3
agreement bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City.
Section 2. Conclusions of Law. Based on the Findings of Fact set forth in Section
I above, the development agreement is consistent with the criteria set forth in RCW 36.70B.170.
Section 3. Development Agreement. The City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to enter into the development agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto, and to take all
further and necessary action required by the development agreement.
Section 4. Severabilitv. The provisions of this ordinance are declared separate and
severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or portion of this
ordinance or the invalidity of the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall not affect
the validity of the remainder of the ordinance, or the validity of its application to other persons or
circumstances.
Section 5. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the
effective date of this ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed.

- The best candidates to interview (approximately 6)
- The interview process, including how the community is to be involved
- Preliminary agreement terms
Consultant visits the work place of all final candidates and conducts detailed
background investigations
