CITY OF PUYALLUP PERMITTING PORTAL

Other/Miscellaneous

Traffic scoping worksheet will be required for this project. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development. Once the traffic scoping worksheet is reviewed, a written response would be sent to the applicant’s traffic engineer outlining the scope of the project’s Traffic Impact Study (TIS). The city has adopted a City-Wide Traffic Impact Fee of $4,500 per PM peak hour trip. Final fees will be calculated and assessed by the City at the time of building permit issuance. Building in located in ML zoning are required to pay Park Impact Fee (87 cents per sqft) Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced. -Frontage improvements will be required along Valley Ave if 200,000 of building improvements are exceeded -Additional right-of-way (ROW) may need to be dedicated to the City regardless if frontage improvements are required Commercial Driveway will be required – minimum 30ft width with 35ft radius Valley Ave along the site is designated as a major arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1) require minimum driveway/intersection spacing of 300 feet for arterials, measured between closest edges of each access. -Driveway access will require an alternative methods request (AMR) to be submitted and reviewed by the City. -Currently, there are no access locations to Valley Ave that will meet current engineering standards. -Design/placement must minimize safety concerns associated with negative offset driveway alignment and deficient commercial driveway spacing. This commercial development shall provide an autoturn analysis for the largest anticipated vehicle that would access the site. Curb radii and entrance dimensions shall be increased as necessary to allow vehicles to access the site without encroaching into adjacent lanes of traffic. -Want to ensure vehicles will not be backing into the property. At the time of civil permit review provide a separate street lighting plan and pavement striping plan (channelization) sheet for the city to review. On-site monument signage must be located outside sight distance triangle.

CIVIL PERMIT APPLICATION • Civil engineering drawings will be required for this project prior to issuance of the first building permit (The city has transitioned to electronic review. Please reach out to the city permit technicians at PermitCenter@PuyallupWA.gov and they will guide you how to submit). Included within the civil design package will be a utility plan overlaid with the landscape architects landscaping design to ensure that potential conflicts between the two designs have been addressed. Engineering plans cannot be accepted until Planning Department requirements have been satisfied, including but not limited to, SEPA, Preliminary Site Plan approval, CUP, and/or Hearing Examiner conditions. • Civil engineering plan review fee is $670.00 (plus an additional per hour rate of $130.00 in excess of 5 hours). The Civil permit shall be $300.00 and the inspection fee shall be 3% of the total cost of the project as calculated on the Engineering Division Cost Estimate form. [City of Puyallup Resolution No. 2098] • Civil Engineering drawings shall conform to the following City standards Sections 1.0 and 2.0: o Engineering plans submitted for review and approval shall be on 24 x 36-inch sheets. o Benchmark and monumentation to City of Puyallup datum (NAVD 88) will be required as a part of this project / plat. o The scale for design plans shall be indicated directly below the north arrow and shall be only 1”=20’ or 1”=30’. The north arrow shall point up or to the right pon the plans. o Engineering plan sheets shall be numbered sequentially in this manner: Sheet 1 of 20, Sheet 2 of 20, etc. ending in Sheet 20 of 20. o All applicable City Standard Notes and Standard Details shall be included on the construction plans for this project. A copy of the City Standards can be found on the City’s web site under Office of the City Engineer, Engineering Services. Frontage Code: New Commercial/Industrial Buildings or Expansion of Existing buildings: • Any person or entity who constructs or causes to be constructed any new commercial/industrial building or expansion of an existing commercial/industrial building either of which have a structure improvement value exceeding $200,000 in valuation shall construct curb, gutters, planter strips, street trees, sidewalks, storm drainage, street lighting, and one-half street paving (only required if the existing pavement condition is poor) in accordance with the city’s Public Works Engineering and Construction Standards and Specifications. The frontage improvements shall be required along all street frontage adjoining the property upon which such building will be placed. Frontage improvements shall also be required where any reasonable access to the property connects to the public right-of-way, although the primary access is located on another parcel. There is no cap on frontage improvements for new buildings or expansion of existing buildings. Fee in Lieu -> Frontage Improvements a. 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 the frontage improvements built along the street frontage adjoining the property or access to the property. The city will consider the following: o (i) The feasibility of accurately constructing improvements both horizontally and vertically to effectively drain runoff; o (ii) Whether constructed improvements can transition and connect smoothly with existing adjacent sites; and o (iii) Whether other frontage improvements will likely connect into the applicant’s required improvements within a reasonable time frame. b. The justification to allow use of the fee-in-lieu program shall not be based on cost savings to applicant in comparison with constructing required improvement adjacent to the property. The program will be administered with the following conditions: a. (i) Fees collected will be used towards pedestrian safety improvements, which could include lighting in the vicinity, ideally within one-half mile but up to one mile, from the contributing parcel in order to ensure that the improvements maintain a sufficient nexus to the project. b. (ii) Fees for residential infill lots and commercial tenant improvements shall be based on linear frontage of developing parcel. The fees will be posted on the city’s web page, “Fee-In-Lieu Program” and are initially set at $200.00 per linear foot of frontage where no concrete curb exists and $100.00 per linear foot with existing curb. The fees will be adjusted annually according to construction cost indices. If use of the fee-in-lieu program is for only a portion of the required frontage improvements, the fee will be established at an adjusted rate by the city engineer. If used for required frontage improvements from land subdivisions (formal plats, short plats, or binding site plans) and new commercial/industrial developments the fee will be developed based on the costs of installing the required improvements along the frontage of the development. c. (iii) The fees shall be capped at 15 percent of remodel or project valuation. d. (iv) Dedication of necessary right-of-way shall not be deferred or satisfied through payment of a fee-in-lieu. e. (v) The city shall track the collection of fees and the location of improvements funded by fees collected.

SEWER • The proposed sewer system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.08.070] • The applicant shall connect into the existing public system located within Valley Ave NW. This gravity sewer main will need to be extended west along the property frontage (approximately 175’). The City’s comprehensive sewer plan shows that the city plans on extending the gravity sewer west to the end of Valley Ave in which it would become a pressurized system. There is not timeline as to when this extension would occur. During the pre-app there was a question as to what Prologis would be required to do for sewer. The following information was provided to them as part of there pre-app: For Prologis: There is a sewer lift station on the south side of the railroad that was built with the idea that the city could serve the area that the parcel lies in. In order to determine if the city has capacity to serve this property, a basin analysis would be required with the areas be annexed included in this calculation. The City will coordinate that analysis, but it would be at the expense of the applicant. Also, the downstream lift station on Levee Rd is exceeding capacity and is on the list to be replaced/upgraded soon. The project may be required to contribute to upgrading that system.[PMC 14.20.020, 14.08.070, PMC17.42 & CS 401(14)]. • A separate and independent side sewer will be required from the public main to all building sites for each proposed lot.
