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. Specific Frontage Requirements: • Previously, the shopping complex had a “porkchop” at the entrance to the southern driveway approach along Meridian which has since been removed. The project will need to install a new “porkchop” for right-in and right-out turns only. o The ADA ramps on either end of this driveway will need to be upgraded to meet ADA compliancy. • Any uplifted sidewalk panel, if any along 120th St E will be required to be replaced. • Upgrade the driveway approach along 47th Ave SE (by existing Pier 1 Imports sign) to meet city standards/ADA compliancy.
