Motion to approve April 6, 2023 Minutes by Uche Okezie, Second by Linda Smith. (9-0)
IV. ADVISORY BOARD ALTERNATES
Dorsol Plants reviewed the bylaw changes that allowed for organizational members of the Advisory
Board to select alternates. While the primary representative must attend the majority of the time,
organizations can select and inform SKHHP staff who their alternate will be. SKHHP Staff are
requesting each organization select an alternate by the July Advisory Board meeting to help maintain
quorum during the rest of the year.
V. HOUSING UPDATE FROM THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
Chaney Skadsen, Senior Planner for the City of Federal Way provided an update on the Housing
Action Plan (Attachment B). Adopted in October 2021, four primary objectives guide the housing
action plan including: Promote new housing development that expands housing choices and is
inclusive to community needs. Encourage homeownership opportunities and support equitable
housing outcomes. Plan for continued growth and ensure the built environment promotes community
development and increases the quality of life for Federal Way’s existing and future residents.
Preserve existing affordable housing stock to reduce displacement pressure.
Each objective is fulfilled or intended to be fulfilled by eight strategies identified in the Housing Action
Plan. At the time of drafting, it was a priority of the City Council to identify how each strategy
supported both market rate and income restricted affordable housing.
By 2044, Federal Way will need to provide for around 11,260 new units of housing. The most recent
multi-family housing development in the city was in 2016. Conducting a buildable land assessment to
help determine the city’s capacity for growth, the downtown core was highlighted as an ideal location.
The downtown core has existing capacity and has some of the densest zoning of any part of the city.
The city hopes to better define the downtown to promote a dense, walkable, mixed-use city center.

Federal Way was incorporated in 1990 and had a suburban style of planning during its early stages.
The Commons Mall is the largest property owner in the current downtown core. The area is entirely
commercial with a lot of concrete surfaces. Leveraging the new Link Light Rail station in a well-
designed and thought-out way will create a new desirable neighborhood with approximately 5,000
new units of housing.
There are some physical and design barriers to this upcoming transformation. One example is
320th Street which can have several lanes of high-speed traffic at various points. As a city develops
something like a Downtown Center or their Housing Action Plan, steps must be taken at many levels
to promote desired development in the area. One example of this is what Federal Way is calling “The
Dip” which will be a pedestrian and bicycle traffic crossing over 320th Street to promote walkability.
The City owns property in the downtown core that is ripe for redevelopment. Presently, an old building
previously used for commercial retail space sits vacant on the property. So far, the city has not seen
speculative development associated with the upcoming Link Light Rail station. Capitalizing on the
current opportunity, the city is working on a redevelopment plan to revitalize the whole area. On
Tuesday, June 13 at noon, a demolition celebration will tear down the old, vacant building in
preparation for the new development of 900 units of housing. This redevelopment will be split into
three or four phases, with some details still being worked out with the developer. The vision is firmly
established to create a variety of housing options including both rental and home ownership in a
walkable community that prioritizes people.
The redevelopment plan is made possible by a new tool called Tax Increment Financing (TIF). TIF is
a bet on the future, where the city pays for initial improvements to encourage new development
believing the tax value will go up. The new development would not occur in those areas without the
city’s initial coverage of the cost.
The city has been making changes to its code based on research economists did to find ways to
make the city a place developers want to build. One example is to expand the Multi-Family Tax
Exemption to include the Community Business zone. Another example is to provide predictability for
school impact fees. In 2016-2017, the city had a multi-family moratorium which led to school impact
fees rising to over $20,000 per multi-family door. The city has placed a cap on school impact fees to
prevent a pendulum effect of fees fluctuating from low to high.
Not every recommendation from the economist’s research was adopted, it was recommended that
the city get rid of its income-restricted inclusionary zoning requirement which requires 5% of units in
multi-family buildings be restricted to serve residents at 50% of AMI or below. While this is a cost to
the developer, this has been one of the city’s most effective tools for generating affordable housing
and is not subject to displacement like other measures. Instead, the city chose to remove the parking
requirements for affordable housing which is a more direct saving to the developers.
Federal Way will see a second light rail station built further south than the first and will connect the
city to Tacoma. This station has been delayed a few times and is currently slated to be completed in
2035. The future station creates another opportunity to expand housing in the city with this section of
the city presently zoned for more “rural housing” development. Houses of this type are quarter arc in
minimum size and allow for single-family units, with only two multi-family buildings in the area. The
Attachment A

rest is zoned industrial which does not allow for any residential. The city is prioritizing ways to
revitalize this area that encourage growth but also prevent conflict from the varying zoning types.
Federal Way is also considering a strategy to encourage the production of Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs). City staff receives multiple calls during the day seeking to develop ADUs, often from the
property owner directly. While it is a heavily desired housing type in Federal Way out of the 60
permitted only 35 have been built so far as of 2021. One change to the permit process reduces the
number of permits required so that ADUs require only one permit streamlining the process.
Additionally, the city is seeking to reduce the cost of ADU production by proposing to exempt ADUs
from school impact fees. Lastly, the city is seeking to remove regulatory barriers connected to lot
sizes used before the city’s incorporation which do not meet the minimum size standard to allow for
ADUs.
Andrew Calkins was happy to see that Federal Way was going to keep the inclusionary zoning
requirement and asked how many inclusionary zoning units had been produced under the policy.
Andrew Calkins also asked if the city had looked at increasing zoning capacity in other areas of the
city outside the Link Light Rail stations. Chaney Skadsen said that the city does have the exact
number and believes it to be over 80 units. She provided clarification that for rentals under the
inclusionary zone they served 50% AMI but for homeownership opportunities they served up to 80%
AMI. Federal Way has been a pioneer in the region around inclusionary zoning and so the city is
currently seeking to maintain the tool as currently written.
Ryan Disch-Guzman asked how the city is balancing the need to increase density with the challenges
that arise from transitioning from a more Suburban environment. How has city staff encouraged and
educated the community about these transitions? Chaney Skadsen responded that it includes
informing the community that the housing desires have morphed. While some Americans still have a
dream of a single-family home with a white picket fence, others are looking for greater density around
community-shared spaces. Focusing on the opportunities that these changes bring. An increase in
housing can support other communities such as commercial spaces to meet with friends or other
people-activated spaces. Asking the residents what type of community they want, understanding that
there must be homes to live there. The choice is good, and the city can meet your desires and the
desires of other neighbors as well.
Uche Okezie asked if there was an identified process for the community to help guide the
revitalization and development of the city. Chaney Skadsen stated that the city provides more public
notices for multi-family development compared to other new development types. The city is holding
forums and other community engagement pieces such as tabling at the Farmer’s Market to collect
community input for the current Comprehensive Plan and Housing Action Plan work. Federal Way will
be holding a workshop specific for ADUs once the changes have been completed and are looking for
opportunities on other hot topic issues.
VI. 2023 HOUSING CAPITAL FUND PROCESS
Dorsol Plants reviewed the draft 2023 Housing Capital Fund process and funding guidelines
(Attachment C). The 2023 Housing Capital Fund is scheduled to have the Application go live for
distribution in July 2023. SKHHP Staff is requesting help from each Advisory Board member to help
spread the word about the funding opportunity. The applications will be due by September 15, 2023,
and the Advisory Board will begin the review process at the October 5, 2023, Advisory Board
Attachment A
Page 5 of 6
meeting. At the November 2, 2023, Advisory Board meeting, the Housing Capital Fund
recommendations will be selected and moved forward for final adoption at the November 17, 2023,
Executive Board meeting. SKHHP staff will then work through the first quarter of 2024 to have the
adopted recommendation reviewed by each contributing SKHHP City Council.
Dorsol Plants facilitated a discussion on whether the funding priorities from 2022 still reflected the
Advisory Board’s priorities in 2023. Ryan Disch-Guzman mentioned thinking about including a focus
on economic opportunities like how the City of Federal Way previously spoke about tying new
housing with new community amenities like public transportation which help to stabilize housing.
Cedar Crossing is another development that was connected to the Roosevelt Link Light Rail station
which empowered residents to be able to get to work without a car. Claire Goodwin highlighted that
Transit-Oriented Development captures tying housing with transportation.
Andrew Calkins stated support for the Funding Guidelines and seconded Ryan Disch-Guzman’s
thoughts around economic opportunities. The concept aligns with a few of the current guidelines such
as Collaboration, Transit Oriented Development, or Community Connections and Engagement,
thinking there may be some way to capture these elements outside of housing.
Menka Soni added that reading through she felt it might be captured in Community Connections and
Engagement, she asked if it would be possible to add Transitional Housing. Dorsol Plants responded
by thinking there were some limitations based on the types of eligible projects. Claire Goodwin added
that she would need to confer with the legal staff to ensure they would be eligible to use it, but she
would investigate it. Claire Goodwin added that in the past more stable forms of housing were more
what the Executive Board was hoping to support. Dorsol Plants added that King County Regional
Homelessness Authority has had its five-year plan amended to include working with cities to provide
housing types for 0-30% AMI which would include Transitional Housing. Claire Goodwin confirmed
she would look further into whether it was an option for funding.
Linda Smith spoke in support of Transitional Housing and the way it supports moving people from
homelessness to stable housing.
Amy Kangas added that her concern around Transitional Housing is that programs are tied strongly to
time limits and residents can be evicted when time runs out of the program regardless of if they can
afford market-rate rent without the support. Dorsol Plants confirmed his own experience with
challenges with transitional housing programs and strict timelines leading to eviction. Claire Goodwin
centered the discussion around funding priorities, which don’t prevent the selection of a project like
Transitional Housing but is a list of the top priorities to fund.
Andrew Calkins added he felt the focus should be on permanent housing, including Permanent
Supportive Housing.
VII. 2024 WORK PLAN & BUDGET
Claire Goodwin provided a brief update on the 2024 SKHHP Work Plan & Budget (Attachment D).
The Executive Board did adopt the Work Plan & Budget at the May 19, 2023, meeting. SKHHP will
send out the Work Plan & Budget to each of the member jurisdictions, most cities will be adopting the
Work Plan & Budget on their consent agenda. SKHHP staff will be doing four presentations at some
of the SKHHP partners.

VIII. UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dorsol Plants checked with the Advisory Board if the July 6 meeting worked to hold an Advisory
Board meeting. A quorum of Advisory Board members was available and willing to meet on July 6.
Dorsol Plants informed the Advisory Board that Jennifer Hurley had submitted her resignation for
personal reasons. She appreciated her time on the Advisory Board and will miss everyone she got to
work with during her time at SKHHP.
Dorsol Plants announced that Des Moines City Council would be going over their Housing Action
Plan that night. The City of Tukwila would be holding an event for feedback on their comprehensive
plan on June 6, 2023.
Uche Okezie provided a brief update on the May Executive Board meeting. Several cities provided
the Executive Board with a briefing on how they support permitting affordable housing including
Tacoma. A lot of times, permitting can provide barriers for developers to jump through, and good to
hear other cities are working to resolve those issues. Uche Okezie updated the Advisory Board about
Claire Goodwin’s presentations on the 2024 Work Plan & Budget and the Housing Capital Fund
Funding Guidelines. Dorsol Plants added they were great briefings and the SKHHP YouTube channel
has the recording of those briefings.
