Sec. 18-164.01. Purpose. -4- The purpose of these designations is to differentiate between areas whose geographical hvdrological topograohical or other features imolv differing obiectives regarding the use and future development of the shorelines of the city. Each environment designation represents a particular emphasis in the tyoe of uses and the extent of development that should occur within it. The environmental designation svstem is designed to encourage uses in each environment that enhance or are comoatible 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 imoacted. Sec. 18-164.02. Names of environment desi2nations. In order to accomplish the purpose of this title environmental designations have been established to be known as follows: 1.. ~ ;L ~ Natural environment. Conservancv environment. Rural environment.

Corporate Park The Corporate Park designation applies to Weyer- haeuser property generally located east of Interstate Highway 5. The property is a unique site, both in terms of its development capacity and natural features. The Corporate Park f€P-+1land use designation applies only to the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Campus. The Corporate Park designation is surrounded by Office Park designations ðf with OP-I, 2, & 3 zoning. The eôllupôftlling Office Park zones are anticipated to develop as corporate headquarters, offices and as ancillary uses. These types of developments are characterized by large contiguous sites containing landscaping, open space, and buildings of superior quality.

Development standards and conditions for these two ffl""" designations are unique to Weyer- haeuser's property and are outlined in a preannexation concomitant ~ development agreement entered into by the City and Weyerhaeuser Corporation. 8 2.8.5 SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM PUrDose The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) identifies seven land and water use elements that. if appropriate to the communitv are to be dealt with in the develop- ment of area-wide shoreline goals. Thev include: shoreline use, economic development, public access. conservation recreation. historical/cultural. and circulation. Master programs are also encouraged to include anv other elements which, because of present uses or future needs, are deemed appropriate to effectuate the policv of the Shoreline Management Act. Residential land use of shorelines of the state within Federal Wav makes up the largest share of the developed shorelines in the citv. Much of the undevel- oped shoreline is in private ownership, subdivided into small lots and presentlv zoned to allow for residential use. Because of present and future needs of residential shoreline use. goals and policies have been formulated as part of a residential element to guide and plan for that development. The following comprehensive set of shoreline goals provide the foundation and framework on which the balance of the master program has been based. These goals and policies are reflective of the level of achievement believed to be intrinsicallv desirable for all shoreline uses, needs. and developments. and establish a program policv commensurate with the intent and obiectives of the Shoreline Management Act. The policies contained herein should be enforced through the applicable chapters of the Federal Wav Cirv Code. Rev;sed October 1998 11.19 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Shoreline Use Element An element which deals with the distribution. location. and extent of: I) the use of shorelines and adiacent areas for housing. transportation. office. public buildin!!s and utilities. education and natural resources: 2) the use of the water for aquaculture and recreation: and 3) the use of the water shoreline. and uplands for other cate!!ories of land and water uses and activities not sDecified in this master oro!!ram.

Revised October 1998 11-27 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - land Use Shoreline Environments Purpose In order to more effectively implement the Iloals. objectives. and policies of this master prollram and the Shoreline Manallement Act the shorelines of the state within Federal Way have been catellorized into four separate environment desillnations. The purpose of these desillnations is to differentiate between areas whose Ileollraphjcal features and existinll development pattern imply differinll obiectives rellardinll their use and future development. Each environment represents a particular emphasis in the type of uses and the extent of development which should occur within it. The system is desillned to en- ouralle uses in each environment which enhance the character of the environment while at the same time reauirinll reasonable standards and restrictions on development so that the character of the environment is not destroyed. The detenninatjon as to which desjllnation should be Iliven to any specific shoreline area has been based on. and is reflective of. the existinll development pattern; the biophysical capabilities and limitations of the land' and the Iloals and aspirations of the local citizenry. Each environment catellorv includes: 11) a definition describinll the development. use. and/or features which characterize the area; 12) a purpose which clari- fies the meaninll and intent of the desillnation' and. 13) Ileneral policies desillned to rellulate use and develop- ment consistent with the character of the environment. Urban Environment The urban environment is an area ofhillh-intensitv land use includinll residential. office. and recreational development. The environment is particularlv suitable to those areas presently subiected to intensive land use pressure. as well as areas planned to accommodate urban expansion. The purpose of desillnating the urban environment is to ensure optimum utilization of shorelines within urbanized areas bv pennitting intensive use and bv managjnll development so that it enhances and mainains the shoreline for a multiplicity of urban uses. The environment is designed to reflect a policy of inreasing utilization and efficiency of urban areas. promote a more intensive level of use through redevelopment of areas now underutilized. and encourage multi ole use of the shoreline if the maior use is shoreline dependent. Policies /:;ffP83 LUP84 fÆIJ84 LUP85 bfIP85 LUP86 HJP86 LUP87 l:f:Il>M LUP88 WP88 LUP89 Emphasis should be given to development within already developed areas. Emphasis should be given to developing visual and physical access to the shoreline in the urban environment. To enhance the waterfront and insure max- imum public use. commercial facilities should be designed to permit pedestrian waterfront activities consistent with public safety and security. Multiple use of the shoreline should be encouraged. Redevelopment and renewal of substandard areas should be encouraged in order to accommodate future users and make maximum use of the shoreline resource. Aesthetic considerations should be activelv promoted bv means of sign control regula- tions. architectural design standards. land- scaping reauirements. and other such means. Revised October 1998 11-28 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - Land Use MfP8I) LUP90 Development should not significantlv degrade the Qualitv of the environment. including water Qualitv and air Qualitv. nor create conditions which would accentuate erosion. drainage problems. or other adverse impacts on adiacent environments. Rural Environment The rural environment is intended for shoreline areas characterized bv agricultural uses. low densitY resi- dential (where most urban services are not available), and areas which provide buffer zones and open space between predominantlv urban areas. Undeveloped shorelines not planned for urban expansion or which do not have a high prioritY for designation in an alternative environment and recreational uses com- patible with agricultural activities are appropriate for the rural environment. The purpose of designating the rural environment is to preserve agricultural land. restrict intensive develop- ment along undeveloped shorelines function as a buffer between urban areas. and maintain open spaces and opportunities for recreational uses within the ecological carrying caoacitv of the land and water resource. New developments in a rural environment should reflect the character of the surrounding area bv limiting densitY. providing permanent open space. and maintaining adequate building setbacks from the water to prevent shoreline resources from being destroved for other rural tvoes of uses. Policies H:fP9(J LUP91 Recreational access to the shorelines should be encouraged. Recreational facilities should be located and designed to minimize conflicts with other activities. HIP9f LUP92 New development should reflect the character of the surrounding area bv limit- in¡¡: residential densitv. providing permanent open space. and maintaining adequate building setbacks from the water. Conservancv Environment The conservancv environment consists of a shoreline areas which are primarilv free from intensive develop- ment. It is the most suitable designation for shoreline areas of high scenic or historical values. for areas un- suitable for development due to bioohvsicallimita- tions. and for commercial forest lands. Conservancv areas are intended to maintain their exis- ting character. This designation is designed to protect. conserve and manage existing natural resources and valuable historic and cultural areas. The preferred uses are those which are nonconsumptive of the ohvsical and biological resources of the area. Policies ~ LUP93 ~ LUP94 LU.DU LUP95 WP95 LUP96 HJP96 LUP97 H:!P'H LUP98 New development should be restricted to those which are compatible with the natural and bioohvsicallimitations of the land and water. Diverse recreational activities which are compatible with the conservancv environ- ment should be encouraged. Development which would be a hazard to public health and safetY. or would materi- allv interfere with the natural processes should not be allowed. The flood hazard overzone regulations shall aoolv to development within flood plains. Struct'lral flood control devices should be stronglv discouraged in the conservancv environment.

Revised October 199B 11-29 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - land Use £f:l,"'98 LUP99 DeveloDment should be regulated so as to minimize the following: erosion or sedi- mentation. the adverse imDact on aquatic habitats. and substantial degradation of the existing character of the conservancv environment. Natural Environment The natural environment consists of areas character- ized bv the Dresence of some unique natural features considered valuable in their undisturbed or original condition and which are relativelv intolerant of intensive human use. Such areas should be essentiallv free from develoDment or be caDable of being easilv restored to natural condition. and thev should be large enough to Drotect the value of the resource. The Dumose of designating the natural environment is to Dreserve and restore those natural resource svstems existing relativelv free of human influence. These svstems require severe restrictions of intensities and tvDes of uses Dermitted so as to maintain the integritv of the natural environment. Policies bYP99 LUPIOO Natural areas should remain free from all deveioDment which would adverse Iv affect their natural character.

Aquatic Resource Practices Of all facets ofeconomic shoreline activitv. oro- duct ion from fisheries is the most vulnerable to massive destruction from an error in environmental control. Close monitoring of water qualitv and an aggressive Dolicv of Dollution abatement and control Revised October 1998 11-30 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - land Use are mandatorv for full realization and sustenance of this economic base. Aquaculture addresses state hatcheries. commercial hatcheries and beds and natural hatcheries and beds within Federal Wav shorelines. Underwater aquaria are considered as aquaculture although the use is orincioallv recreational. Aquaculture has two modes: 1.. The harvest of uncontained plant and animal pooulations that exist on the nutrients and foods available in the environment restock themselves according to the fecunditv of the copulation. and survive as the food and nature allow. L Artificial stocking or raising of stock in feedlots or oens using selective breeding and controlled feeding orograms for increasing oroduction and rearing a uniform product. Pen culture requires confinement and the oresence of fixed structures that comoete for space. Pens. rafts. and hatcheries require certain environmental condi- tions to assure the survival of their contained oooula- tions. Some of these conditions are small wave forces. good flow good water qualitv temoerature limits. good anchoring ground and accessibilitY. and oos- siblv good natural food and nutrient suoolv. The confinement of fish or shellfish in concentration imposes an extreme biological load in a small area. Dense oooulations degrade water qualitY and deoosit heavv fecal sediments below the Dens or on the floor of embavments. The orincioal impacts of aquacultural activitv within the shoreline are: 1.. Pollutants in the water bodv such as fish. organic wastes. and additives for feeding and disease control. L Navigation hazards such as holding oens rafts. nets and stakes. 1. Watercourse alteration to suoolv water. 1, Netting and flooring of river beds for soawning channels. i, Shoreline access limitations where shellfish are being orotected and contained.

Revised October 1998 11-31 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - land Use Commercial DeveloDment Commercial develooment oertains 2enerallv to the use or construction of facilities for transaction and sale of 200ds and services as oooosed to industrial develoo- ment (treatment t02ether with oorts) which oertains to the desi2n and fabrication of oroducts. The orincioal imoact factors uoon the shoreline from commercial develooment are oollutants (e.IZ.. erosion. sedimentary chemical and microbial) and aesthetic destruction. Erosiye oollutants from commercial deyelopment are lZenerated from surface runoff and both surface and sub-surface subsidence. Chemical oollution is derived from fuel soilialZe. Microbial loadin2 arises from Door containment of or2anic wastes associated with human habitation and recrea- tional activities.

Utilities Few. if any utility systems could be installed com- pletely without comin2 under the iurisdiction of this master prolZram. The focus of the policies in this section is on how these utility facilities within the shoreline environment can be planned. desi2ned. constructed. maintained. and rehabilitated to be consistent with the intent of the Shoreline ManalZement Act. Tyoes of utili tv facilities in Federal Way varY from relZional transmission by trunklines pioelines. and transmission lines to subre2ional distribution facili- ties.

Shoreline Protection Shoreline orotection is action taken to reduce adverse imoacts caused bv curren\. flood. wake, or wave action. This action includes all structural and non- structural means to reduce these imoacts due to flooding. erosion. and accretion. Soecific structural and non structural means included in this use activitv are bulkheads. riD-caD, bank stabilization, and other means of shoreline orotection. The means taken to reduce damage caused bv erosion. accretion, and flooding must recognize the oositive asoects of each. so that the benefits of these natural occurrences will be retained. even as the oroblems 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.

Measures to accomplish this are by desi",nation of areas for use-intensitY interpretation and re",ula- tion. These different recreational use areas coincide with the four environments-natural. conservancy. rural. and urban.

Revised October 1998 11.38 Memo FROM: LUTC members Kathy McClung, Deputy CDS Director .~\, TO: DATE: October 22, 1998 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 Sectior 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. attachments- ordinance with Exhibit A & B copy of salmon goals and policies letter from Weyerhaeser '1 Â Weyerhaeuser C,'!,.""

WA 98477-2999 Tol 12531 924 ZM5 October 6, 1998 Dear North Lake Resident: As you may recall, I wrote to you last month inviting you to a meeting at Weyerhaeuser to discuss thc proposed changc to the shoreline designation of a portion of the Weyerhaeuser property on North Lake. This proposed changc had been requested by Weyerhaeuser during the process of annexation to Federal Way in 1994. We originally requested the change for this particular piece of property so that its shoreline designation would be consistent with the other properties around North Lake as we>U as with the rest of the Weyerhaeuser corporate campus. At no point did We have specific plans to develop the land. However, when we learned of the concern some of our neighbors on North Lake had about this proposed change, wc decided to reevaluate the original request. AfteJ: reevaluating circumstanccs and physical characteristics of this specific property, we determined it is an area we would be wùikcly to develop for corporate use. This is in large part due to existing conditions on the property including na.tUral constraints, such as wetlands. Both because we have detennined 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 the original request for a shoreline designation changc. This mcans 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 does not appear necessary 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 cance1e>d. Because we understand there may be interest in other Weyerhaeuser/Quadrant activities in thc broader East Campus area., we plan to schedule a meeting in November to provide information on those activities- Sincerely, d~l~ Vice President, Weyerhacuser Business Services 10/08/98 TIDJ 1J, 48 [TX/RX NO 6J21 J Memo TO: FROM: Land Use and Transportation Committee Kathy McClung, Deputy Director CDS ~ July 29, 1998 DATE: 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 thaL 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. 18-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).

At the Committee's June 1st meeting there were several questions raised about proposed provisions in the Shoreline Master Program regulations. Kathy McClung has provided me with a summary of those questions and I have reviewed 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 water quality issues in the context of streams, wetlands, regulated ponds, wiJdlife and fish habilats, and erosion of stcep slopes. A variety of mitigation measures are provided, such as buffers, native vegetation retentionlinstallation, drainage controls, limitations on certain uses, etc. This is not to say that added prote>ctive measures in the Shoreline Master 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 I 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? (pg. 4, pg. 8, and pg.16) These are general terms commonly found in policy statements that arc intended to recognize that an a.~sessment 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 limltiltionsfcarrying capacities of the City's shorelines. 2) Should there be a policy which limits the amount of impervious surfaces? epg. 8 and pg. 9) A general policy statement that impervious sulfaces should be kept to the minimum necessary for reasonable development and usc of a site could certainly be added. However, GO'd eG:E[ 301 e6-6 -NOr [Ht6 ON :m/XL] oc: H 3fl.L 96160/90 thc shoreline regulations apply to all 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 Iheir entire area within the 200 foot of the shoreline. A couple of approaches mighl be: a. Prohibil or limit the amount of impervious surfaces that are waterward of the primary slruclure, or b. Prohibit impervious surfaces within the shoreline setback area. 3) Commercial forestS. (pg. 16) This reference 10 commercial forests is a hold over from the King County SMMP and should have been removed form the current draft (my mistake). There are no commercial forestS in Fcueral 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 coml11on policy term that is similar to 'physical limitations' and 'carrying capacity' and is used somewhal synonymously with those tenns. It means the total combination of physical conslraints (topography, soils, etc,) and on-site wildlife (land and aquatic), plant life, and habita!. 5) How are the shoreline environment designations applied? (pg. 31, pg. 39, pg. 41) The criteria given for each of the three shoreline environment designations are nor 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 shorelines appears to be consistent with these criteria. 6) Urnan 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 se¡back is IO ensure that the use of a property is not regulatcd away or to recognize the presence of some physical constraint such as a steep hluff on Ihe upland portion of a lot. Largcr setbacks have several benefits including pre~ervation of views from adjacent properties, increasing the distance that run-off from hard surfaces must travel before entering the water, and minimizing disruption from constmction activitics. Our office functions as shoreline administrators for several Lake Wa.shington jurisdictions and lhe average residential shoreline setback is about 50 feet. 2 EO'd 6c:EI 301 86-6 -Nnr l~n6 ON :nl/X.L] oe:n 3!I.L 86160/90 A rough review of shoreline lots in the City (i.e. scaled off of a city-wide map) suggests that a ""ÿority of the lots are over 150 feet dc>cp. In view of this I wou1d suggest going to a 75 foot shorelinc sctback, with a provision that would provide for a reduction down to 30 feet to allow for reasonable use. 7) Rcduclion of setback for commercial properties, (pg, 36) The reduced setback incentive for commercial 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 private shorelines. which is a goal of the Shoreline Management Acl. 'Access' docs not necessarily have to include the ability to actually walk right up 10 thc 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 the Committee sees it as a conflict with salmon habitat protection. 8) Pavement in residential subdivisions. (pg. 42) My understanding is that perhaps wadways, driveways. and parking surfaces within shoreline a!'eas should not bc hard surfaces. It does not appear from a brief look at a City map that there are that many public strccts within the regulate>d shoreline areas. This also appears to be true for parking a!'Cas, although there are hard surfaced parking arcas associated with the shorelinc parks. There are trade-offs on this issue. Paved wadways and parking areas are gcne>rally 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 imo ¡he soil and penetrate into ncar surface aquifers. This issue is probably morc appropriately addressed in tbe City's roadways, parking, and pe!'haps subdivision standards, rather than in the shoreline> master program. 3 ÞO'd O£:£I ;lnJ flR-R -iIInr .-----. ----------:¡¡.

Staff Report CITY OF FEDERAL WAY Planning Commission DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: April 30, 1998 CITY COUNCIL ROBERT VAUGHAN, CHAIR PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 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 COMMISSION 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. 1. 2. IV. 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: NEGI0- 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. 2 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. Commission 3 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY Planning Commission DATE March 24, 1998 APPLICANT City of Federal Way PROPOSED ACTION Text Amendments to Chapter 18, Article III, City of Federal Way (Shoreline Management Master Program) STAFF REPRESENTATIVE Don Largen, AICP Planning Consultant McConnell/Burke, Inc. 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 Several items have been identified and prioritized by the City Council 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 Reform. 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 permit 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 PugetSóund, all of Steel Lake, and those portions of North Lake and Lake Kilamey 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 Kilamey 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 tllrallgl¡. 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 residentiãl: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 permanent 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. NATURALENV~ONMENT 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 Coun:y 25.04. This chapter of the King County code can be deleted. 25.08 Definitions The King County shoreline code contains sixty-five definition~. 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 'definitions can be deleted, leaving thirty-two definitions to be incorporated into Chapter 18, Article III. 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 chapter includes uses and activities that are either not allowed due to underlying zoning or that8 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 pennits, remove language that was in conflict with the Growth Management Act, and to clarify pennit 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 ('iV AC) 173-27 establishes the rules and procedures for processing shoreline permits, including what type of developments are exempt from the shoreline pennit requirement. Note that the SMA procedural amendment, 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 (SDP) 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 normal appurtenance. The SMA identifies garages decks, driveways, utilities, fences, septic tanks and drainfields as normal 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 normal appurtenance to a single family home. However, in many cases a singlc 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 permit requirement. The City's SMMP should include this clarification and have it reflected in the supporting development regulations. VII. ESHB 1724 - REGULATORY REFORM As mentioned above, additional amendments to the SMA were anticipated in 1997, many of which were intended to respond to the legislative requirements of ESHB 1724 Regulatory Reform. 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. 6
