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: Non-residential Tenant Improvements • Any person or entity who constructs or causes to be constructed any nonresidential tenant improvement on an existing structure which is not an expansion of the building footprint shall construct frontage improvements when the remodel valuation exceeds $500,000 and the proposed project meets the definition of “substantial improvement,” as defined in PMC 11.08.120, based on the value of the commercial unit being remodeled. Nonresidential frontage improvements shall consist of curb, gutter, 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 and alleys adjoining the property upon which such tenant improvements 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. Subject to the following conditions: • (a) Within the downtown business zones of CBD and CBD Core frontage improvements will be required when the value of remodel exceeds 75 percent of the value of the commercial unit being remodeled and exceeds $500,000 remodel valuation. • (b) Remodel valuation will be given by the applicant on the application but may be verified by the city using usage types and costs based on square footage. • (c) Costs of business equipment and costs associated with seismic retrofits shall not count toward remodel valuation when calculating the requirement for frontage improvements. The applicant will provide documentation of the costs contemplated in this subsection in order for such costs to be deducted from the remodel valuation. • (d) Value of the commercial unit being remodeled will be calculated using the assessor’s listed building valuation or a prorated valuation when connected to a larger structure. Land values shall be determined using assessor’s listed land values. • (e) Scope of frontage improvements shall be capped at 10 percent of remodel valuation; however, this limit shall not apply to projects that have frontage improvement requirements imposed by a SEPA, CUP, or another mitigation or conditioning document. The unit cost of frontage improvement elements will be established by the city and posted on the city’s website. The city will determine the priority of required frontage improvement elements when attempting to reduce the scope to stay under the cap. 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. The current prices for 2022 are $211.80 per linear foot where no concrete curb exists. $105.90 per linear foot where existing curb exists at city standard location. 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.
