BUILDING – JANELLE MONTGOMERY, 253-770-3328 Jmontgomery@Puyallupwa.gov RAY COCKERHAM, 253-841-5585 RayC@ci.puyallup.wa.us 1. Building plans will need to be complete with all building, mechanical, plumbing, energy code items and accessibility requirements that apply to project. 2. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure are required in place for charging stations per IBC section 429 Washington State amendments for occupancy B and will need to be shown on the plans. Did not see any located-on site plan. 3. Plans will need to be per the applicable codes 2018 adopted February 1, 2021 for all permits. 2018 Washington State Energy Code 4. Accessible parking and access to the public way will be required. For all accessible requirements the City adopted the 2018 IBC / WAC 51-50 and the ICC A117.1-2009 standard. Minimum one electric vehicle charging infrastructure is required. 5. Please reach out to me if I can answer any other questions in relationship to Building code items for this project. No other Building items at this time. BUILDING RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS: 1. The target date is 45 days for first review for building permits and 20 days for all subsequent reviews. 2. City requires complete submittal as there is no timeline advantages for not submitting foundation and building plans together. Grading and site work are Engineering permits completed with civil plans. 3. Parking is part of Planning review. Verify accessibility route shown on site plan meets #5 requirement in comments above for meeting accessibly route. 4. Planning 5. Planning 6. The Washington State amendments allows for Gender inclusive restrooms. This concept would be new to the community, may want to consider providing traditional gender Male/Female facilities available on one of the 3 floors since no other option is available in the building other than gender inclusive for restrooms. I did not locate a family or staff facility as alternative option to students or staff on any floor plan. 7. Chemical disposal will be evaluated by engineering, but any pre-treatment required or provided will need to be part of the plumbing plan submittal. 8. Provide HMIS sheets for all quantities and how they will be stored. 9. The proposed B/A-3 could be constructed as a mixed-use path using section 508. If approach is as accessory use provide complete uses of all areas with occupant loads with supporting calculations as accessory use.

Pierce College Master Plan review must be completed prior to the approval of this project Any necessary mitigation, pedestrian access improvements, frontage improvements, etc. will be addressed within that document. 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. 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.
