In accordance with Puyallup Municipal Code 11.08.135, non-residential tenant improvement projects that qualify as substantial improvements (the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure before the “start of construction” of the improvement) and when the remodel valuation exceeds $500,000 are required to complete improvements along the property's street frontage. Your project will be required to complete frontage improvements which may include curb, gutter, planter strips, street trees, sidewalks, storm drainage, street lighting, and one-half street paving (only required if the existing pavement condition is poor) as determined by Development Engineering. The building permit shall not be issued until the frontage improvement designs have been approved by the City and a right-of-way or civil construction permit issued. A right-of-way permit is required if there is existing vertical curb in good condition and a civil construction permit is required if there is no existing vertical curbing. The building permit shall be conditioned in such a manner that building occupancy will not be granted until the frontage improvements are completed and approved. The subject site may qualify for the fee-in-lieu program in which the applicant may request and submit justification to pay a fee rather than constructing all or part of the required frontage improvements. Allowance of fee-in-lieu shall be at the discretion of the City and may be denied if the City Engineer determines it will be more beneficial to the public to have frontage improvements built along the street frontage adjoining the property or access to the property. The justification to allow use of the fee-in-lieu program shall not be based on cost savings to the applicant in comparison with constructing required improvement adjacent to the property.
