CITY OF PUYALLUP PERMITTING PORTAL

See Document Markup

The PRCTI20251350 building permit plans may be reviewed sequentially with the PRCCP20251408 civil construction plans. Since the civil plans are the foundation of the building plans, the civil plans must be approved before the building plans. Therefore, building permit PRCTI20251350 cannot be issued until civil construction permit PRCCP20251408 is issued first. The building permit site plan design must be a continuation of the approved civil plans, free of design discontinuity or discrepancies. The Engineering review on the building permit cannot be approved until their is an approved civil plan to reference. It is the applicant's responsibility to coordinate building permit application resubmissions to avoid redundant reviews and fees in coordination with the civil permit application status since both permit applications are currently under review.

Please refer to the Type IV 14.4 Type IV landscaping design standards (Sections A - N, page 42 - 45): https://www.puyallupwa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1133/Vegetation-Management-Standards-VMS-Manual Type IV Design Standards A. No more than eight (8) parking spaces shall be placed consecutively without a landscaping island. (1) All perimeter landscape islands shall be a minimum of 12’ wide with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. Each perimeter island shall include a minimum of one (1) tree selected from the Class III or Class IV Street tree list shown in section 12.9 or 12.10. (2) All internal landscape islands shall be a minimum of 15’ in width with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. Each internal island shall include a minimum of two (2) trees selected from the Class III or Class IV street tree list shown in section 12.9 or 12.10.; fifty percent (50%) of trees in internal islands shall be Class III or Class IV evergreen conifers. (3) ‘Head-to-head’ parking stalls and internal landscape islands shall be separated by a ‘connector landscaping strip’ a minimum of 6' in width (see image). The 6’ connector strip shall include a tree every 20’, selected from the Class II (narrow)street tree list (see section 12.8). All ‘head-to-head’ parking stalls internal to a parking lot shall have internal island ‘end caps’ to separate the parking stalls from abutting drive aisles. These ‘end cap’ islands shall follow the requirements for internal islands (size, dimensions, required landscaping, etc.). (4) Option to reduce landscape island dimensions: i. Type IV landscape islands may be reduced in width if an equal dimension of the reduced landscaping island is replaced with under pavement soil cells. In no event shall a landscape island be reduced to less than eight (8) feet in width. ii. Structural plant soils – often called “CU-structural soil”, or equivalent - may be provided in lieu of structural soil cells so long as the volume of structural plant soils provided is 1.5X the soil volume that would otherwise be provided in structural soil cells as required by this option to reduce design option. The project landscape architect shall provide a cross section detail of installation of all structural plant soils, including geotechnical interface with adjacent under pavement soils. B. All parking lot island planter area dimensional requirements are exclusive of extruded curbing bordering the planting area. For example, a perimeter landscape island required at 12’ in width relates to the required open soil planter area – exterior curbing would add additional dimensions to the island. C. Landscaping islands apply to all striped parking and storage areas, including heavy truck trailer parking. For large, paved areas which trigger parking lot landscaping under PMC 20.58.005, but may not contain vehicle striping for vehicle parking, staff will use reasonable discretion and flexibility in site designing to allow larger consolidated/ grouped islands to spread out evenly through the paved areas, ensuring landscaping meets the intent of the type IV design standards and meets the minimum landscape requirements in PMC 0.58.005. D. Underground utilities shall not be designed to cross below any perimeter or internal island in a manner which would prohibit or off-set the required tree planting(s); crossings of underground utility lines through connector landscaping strips shall be minimized to angled or perpendicular crossings and shall not follow the path of the landscaping strip. Such utility crossings shall also be offset as to avoid displacing required trees. E. Internal parking lot lighting poles and fixtures shall be located to minimize future conflicts with parking lot trees – parking lot lights shall be placed 10’ from any parking lot tree required under the type IV standard. F. Other aboveground civil utilities (e.g., fire department connections, hydrants, etc.) shall only be placed into parking lot islands when required for life-safety purposes. Case planner shall consult with Fire Code Official and Building Division prior to allowing hydrants in locations which would otherwise eliminate trees from parking lot landscape islands. G. No parking space shall be placed further than 50 feet from a tree. H. All parking spaces facing each other (e.g., ‘head-to-head’) shall be designed with a wheel stop to prevent damage to trees and vegetation within the 6’ connector strip. The overhang area shall be landscaped with appropriate ground covers. All trees shall be planted a minimum of 2.5’ from inside edge of all wheel stops or parking curbs. I. All landscaping strips and islands internal to the site’s paved areas/parking lots shall be designed and installed using a minimum of 1.5’ (18”) of topsoil depth; Subsoils below the topsoil layer shall be scarified at least 6 inches with some incorporation of the upper material to avoid stratified layers. J. All internal landscape islands and connector strips shall include a double row (horizontally) of structural soil cells – often called “Silva Cells”, or equivalent - along the perimeter of all internal islands in parking stall areas only (under the pavement directly abutting the outer edge of the landscape island) to provide additional soil volume for tree growth. The landscape architect shall provide manufacturer’s installation details for internal parking lot landscaping soil installation, including required structural soil cells, on the final landscape plan set. See section 8.2 for soil quality standards. K. All landscaping islands and connector strips shall be designed using either evergreen and deciduous shrub masses spacing at tight on-center intervals (designed to provide 90 percent coverage in 3 years) that will prevent foot traffic and associated soil compaction into these landscaping areas. L. An 18” striped buffer area between the edge of the parking stall and any internal or perimeter landscaping island curbing shall be provided to allow for adequate door swing area. All parking stalls abutting landscape islands shall be the standard stall width dimensions (see PMC 20.55.035). M. Designed walk-thru pathways (minimum of 2 walk-through paths, 5’ in width between each internal island through the connector landscaping strips shall be integrated into landscaping design to allow for designated access points for foot traffic. These walk-thru pathways are intended to be designed as a surface walkway through the landscaping area. Shrub species selection shall reflect the use of plant materials that will create a barrier to foot traffic as to channel pedestrians through designated walk-through zones. If the walk-thru pathways are designed to create a break in the continuous landscape connector strip, the pavement under the walk-thru zone shall connect the landscape strip via the use of structural soil cells, as to achieve to the intent of continuous, connected landscaping throughout the parking lot. N. Irrigation shall be provided in all landscape islands. _________________________________________ UPDATE (01/16/2026): Please correct the proposed root barrier locations to reflect the regulations identified within the Vegetation Management Standards (VMS) (see sheet 21 of 28 of the Construction Plan Set (Material Plan)). Please place the Silva Cells/structural soil cells within the internal landscape strips and end cap islands (the locations where these cells should be placed have been identified on sheet 21 of 28). Please refer to Type IV Design Standards, Section J for the VMS requirements for Silva Cells (page 44). Per Section J of the Type IV Design Standards: "All internal landscape islands and connector strips shall include a double row (horizontally) of structural soil cells – often called “Silva Cells”, or equivalent - along the perimeter of all internal islands in parking stall areas only (under the pavement directly abutting the outer edge of the landscape island) to provide additional soil volume for tree growth. The landscape architect shall provide manufacturer’s installation details for internal parking lot landscaping soil installation, including required structural soil cells, on the final landscape plan set. See section 8.2 for soil quality standards." See CONSTRUCTION PLAN SET - RESUB, sheet 21 of 28.

The PRCTI20251350 building permit plans may be reviewed sequentially with the PRCCP20251408 civil construction plans. Since the civil plans are the foundation of the building plans, the civil plans must be approved before the building plans. Therefore, building permit PRCTI20251350 cannot be issued until civil construction permit PRCCP20251408 is issued first. The building permit site plan design must be a continuation of the approved civil plans, free of design discontinuity or discrepancies. The Engineering review on the building permit cannot be approved until their is an approved civil plan to reference. It is the applicant's responsibility to coordinate building permit application resubmissions to avoid redundant reviews and fees in coordination with the civil permit application status since both permit applications are currently under review.
