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.
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.
Park Impact fee is required for ML zoning. City charges $0.87 per sqft (GFA)
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.
•Evaluate roadway condition for possible half-street improvements
•Streetlights may be required
•If not being utilized the existing curb cut on the eastern frontage may need to be replaced with curb/gutter sidewalk.
Code section 11.08.135(3):
(3) 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.
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.

Landscaping
• Extent of landscaping required is in the affected area. In this case, if you are only proposing work be done in the NE area of the property, then landscaping would likely only be required in that area. Please see planning redline in the CitView Portal for area likely required to be landscaped.
• PMC 20.35.035 (2) Required Landscaping.
(a) Landscaping required by this title and/or by conditions of approval of discretionary applications shall be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with Chapter 20.58 PMC.

The maximum height of any singular retaining wall within 30 feet of a front or street side yard property line shall be three and one-half feet above finished grade. A minimum of six feet of stepback shall be provided between any terraced retaining walls proposed within 30 feet of a front or street side property line. No more than a total of three stepped retaining walls (complying with the maximum three and one-half feet in height limit above finished grade) shall be placed within 30 feet of a front or street side property line. A Type I visual barrier landscape buffer shall be provided in front of all retaining walls, in accordance with the city’s vegetation management standards (VMS) manual.
(ii) Rear and Side Property Lines. All retaining walls shall be set back from any rear or side yard property line by a minimum of six feet. The maximum height of any singular retaining wall within 30 feet of a rear or side property line shall be six feet above finished grade. A minimum of six feet of stepback shall be provided between any terraced retaining walls proposed within 30 feet of a rear or side property line.

Engineered plans must follow the latest regulations and standards set forth in the Puyallup Municipal Code (PMC), the City Standards for Public Works Engineering and Construction (design standards), and the current City adopted stormwater manual at the time of civil permit application [PMC 21.10.040]. The stormwater design associated with this Development Permit will be reviewed for compliance with the 2014 amended Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (DOE manual), which is the current adopted stormwater manual. The comments provided below are project-specific in nature and should not be considered an exhaustive list of the requirements from the PMC, design standards, or the DOE manual.
• Domestic Water and sewer requirements are not included in these notes due to the presented scope not containing water or sewer aspects.
CIVIL PERMIT APPLICATION
Notes: A civil permit application is required for commercial projects triggering stormwater, projects doing large amounts of on-site grading, any project required to construct frontage at a site that doesn’t have existing vertical curb, and a project proposing new connections to city.
• 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).
