The subject property is within the AE flood zone. According to Puyallup Municipal Code 21.07.050, new construction and substantial improvements of any residential structure shall elevate the lowest floor, including basement, to a minimum of one foot or more above base flood elevation. Please note, increasing freeboard improves safety and can reduce insurance premiums. Occupancy shall not be granted for the building until a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood elevation certificate (EC) by a licensed surveyor or engineer is submitted to the City of Puyallup and accepted by Development Engineering.

In accordance with Puyallup Municipal Code 11.08.135, residential infill lot 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) 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.

Per Puyallup Municipal Code 21.07.060, properties in the flood zone that will cause an increase in water surface elevation of the base flood must provide compensatory storage to the extent necessary to avoid “take” of any species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Such compensatory storage must: (a) Provide equivalent elevations to that displaced—unless the project is located within the AO zone. AO zone projects are not required to comply with the equivalent elevation requirement; (b) be hydraulically connected to the source of flooding; (c) be provided in the same construction season and before the flood season begins on September 30th; (d) occur on site or off site if legal arrangements can be made to assure that the effective compensatory storage volume will be preserved over time; and (e) be supported by a detailed hydraulic analysis that is prepared by a licensed professional engineer. For development proposals on single family residential lots, the applicant shall either: (1) Comply with the compensatory storage requirements as set forth in subsections (a) through (e) above, or (2) provide compensatory storage in an amount equal to the flood storage volume filled or displaced by the development (1:1 fill to compensatory storage). Per Puyallup Municipal Code 21.07.060, if fill is proposed on the lot, the applicant shall provide compensatory storage in accordance with Municipal Code. If less than 1:1 compensatory storage is proposed, the applicant shall provide a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to determine any effects on floodplain storage capacity, increased flood heights, or increased velocities.
