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).
o The traffic analysis must address queuing impacts associated with the fuel station. Peak demand must maintain queuing on-site.
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.
o Trip credits are not allowed to be transferred between the old/new fuel station.
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.
o Frontage improvements will be required along 14th St SW and along all other City ROW frontage that does not meet current standards.
o As part of these improvements, additional right-of-way (ROW) may need to be dedicated to the City.
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. This analysis will be required during civil permit review.
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.
Access:
The current Costco gas station and the storage facility to the north are using an existing residential cul-de-sac for access. This design is not adequate to accommodate additional vehicle trips (and increased pedestrian demand) in this area.
To mitigate additional vehicle trips and improve site circulation, the City will require roundabout to be constructed near the existing cul-de-sac location. Design will need follow current best practice and must be large enough to accommodate trucks and emergency vehicles.
A roundabout constructed at this location will allow the entire length of 14th St SW to be access restricted (no left turns). This design would have a significant operational & safety benefit
South side of the roundabout would require a pedestrian crossing to be installed to accommodate the parking on the west side of 14th St SW. Additional treatments/conspicuity devices would be necessary. On-site ADA compliant paths to/from Costco would be required.
39th Ave SE 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.
o The proposed access off of 39th Ave SE does not meet spacing standards for arterials. The existing curb cut could be used for gated EV access only.

STORMWATER
• Design shall occur pursuant to the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as amended in December, 2014 (The 2014 SWMMWW). Note that the city is adopting the 2019 Ecology manual in June of 2022. Vesting to an Ecology manual is granted with an approved permanent stormwater plan as part of a City of Puyallup permit.
• Preliminary feasibility/infeasibility testing for infiltration facilities shall be in accordance with the site analysis requirements of the Ecology Manual, Volume I, Chapter 3, specifically:
- Groundwater evaluation, either instantaneous (MR1-5) or continuous monitoring well (MR1-9) during the wet weather months (December 21 through April 1).
- Hydraulic conductivity testing:
o If the development triggers Minimum Requirement #7 (flow control), if the site soils are consolidated, or is encumbered by a critical area a Small Scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PIT) during the wet weather months (December 21 through April 1) is required.
o If the development does not trigger Minimum Requirement #7, is not encumbered by a critical area, and is located on soils unconsolidated by glacial advance, grain size analyses may be substituted for the Small Scale PIT test at the discretion of the review engineer.
- Testing to determine the hydraulic restriction layer.
- Mounding analysis may be required in accordance with Ecology Volume III Section 3.3.8.
* Currently the existing catch basin at the north end of the cul-de-sac discharges across 3701 14th St Pl SW back into 1201 39th Ave SW. It does not appear there is a formal easement granted from this parcel to the City of Puyallup to allow for right of way water to be discharged on this property. Further discussion of stormwater mitigation with regards to this catch basin in the cul-de-sac will be necessary.
• The applicant is responsible for submitting a preliminary stormwater management site plan which meets the design requirements provided by PMC Section 21.10 and Ecology Manual Volume I, Section 2.5.1. The preliminary stormwater site plan (PSSP) shall be submitted prior to Preliminary Site Plan approval to ensure that adequate stormwater facilities are anticipated prior to development of the individual lot(s). The preliminary stormwater site plan shall reasonably estimate the quantity of roof and driveway stormwater runoff and the application of On-site Stormwater Management BMPs for the proposed development.

• Public right-of-way runoff shall be detained and treated independently from proposed private stormwater facilities. This shall be accomplished by providing separate publicly maintained storm facilities within a tract or dedicated right-of-way; enlarging the private facilities to account for bypass runoff; or other methods as approved by the City Engineer. [PMC 21.10.190(3)]
• A written technical report that clearly delineates any offsite basins tributary to the project site and includes the following information: [PMC 21.10.060]
o the quantity of the offsite runoff;
o the location(s) where the offsite runoff enters the project site;
o how the offsite runoff will be routed through the project site.
o the location of proposed retention/detention facilities
o and, the location of proposed treatment facilities
• A Construction Stormwater General Permit shall be obtained from the Department of Ecology if any land disturbing activities such as clearing, grading, excavating and/or demolition will disturb one or more acres of land, or are part of larger common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land. The link below may be used to obtain information to apply for this permit:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/
Stormwater R/D Facilities:
• Any above-ground stormwater facility shall be screened in accordance with planning requirements.
• Stormwater R/D facilities shall be a minimum of 20-feet from any public right-of-way, tract, vegetative buffer, and/or property line measured from the toe of the exterior slope/embankment of the facility. [PMC 21.10 & DOE Manual, Vol. V, Pg 10-39 and Pg 10-9]

Fees are increased annually on February 1st. The City will assess the amount of existing credits applied to the project based on how many credits the property is currently being billed for. [PMC 14.26.070]
?Sewer
• A sanitary sewer system development charge (SDC) will be assessed based on the number of plumbing fixture units as defined in the Uniform Plumbing Code. Current SDC’s as of this writing are $5,890.00 for the first 15 plumbing fixture units and an additional charge of $394.63 for each fixture unit in excess of the base 15 plumbing fixture units. [PMC 14.10.010, 14.10.030]
?Stormwater
• A Stormwater Systems Development fee will be assessed for each new equivalent service unit (ESU) in accordance with PMC Chapter 14.26. Each ESU is equal to 2,800 square feet of ‘hard’ surface. The current SDC as of this writing is $3,560.00 per ESU.
