Traffic scoping worksheet will be required. 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.

The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) on 15th St SE may need to be dedicated to the city. 15th St SE along the site is designated as a Minor Arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1) require minimum spacing of 300 feet from the intersection & driveways measured between closest edges of the driveway. -Per City standards, commercial driveways must be aligned with intersections/driveways across the street. -Existing driveway near BNSF at-grade crossing will be removed or possibly used for EV access (feasibility needed) Access restrictions may be necessary if City Standards are not met. Coordination with BNSF needed regarding the commercial spur -Consistency with their future plans, Siding capacity, etc. -Possible safety upgrades at traffic signal (advanced preemption). During preliminary site plan review a sight distance analysis may be required ensure drive locations meet City standards. This commercial/industrial development shall provide an AutoTurn analysis for the largest anticipated vehicle that would access the site (WB-67, fire apparatus). Curb radii and entrance dimensions shall be increased as necessary to allow vehicles to access the site without encroaching into adjacent lanes of traffic. City standard commercial driveway shall be required along frontage. Minimum commercial driveway width is 30ft with 35ft radius.

Response to question #8 The Building department views BNSF railroad as private property. The building code provides clear definition of Yard or open space (507.2) so the City would not considered the railroad ROW to utilize as part of calculation of meeting the required 60 ft. yard unlimited building area. If BNSF agreed to either of the proposed site plan we could consider documentation from them to view it to meet the 2018 IBC. General comments: • A separate demolition permit will be required for the demo of the existing structures currently on the site and will require documentation from the Puget Sound Clean Air agency at the time of submittal for the Demo permit. • Building plans will need to be complete with all building, mechanical, plumbing, energy code items and accessibility requirements that apply to project. • If applicable, truss specs will also be required with the truss engineers’ stamps and a layout that matches the submitted plans at the time of submittal. • 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. • Plans will need to be per the applicable codes 2018 adopted February 1, 2021 for all permits. • All electrical is permitted by the Washington State Department L & I. • 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. One electric vehicle charging infrastructure is required. • Depending on what type of use is proposed or potential manufacturing it may require approval from Department of Health prior to release of building permit. • Please reach out to me if I can answer any other questions in relationship to Building code items for this project.
