Comment from Puyallup School District: If this project includes 10 multifamily units (applicant's narrative said more than 10 units, but didn't provide a specific number), Puyallup School District would estimate that the project would generate 2 elementary students, 1 junior high student and 1 high school student. The project site is within the Wildwood Elementary, Ferrucci JH, and Emerald Ridge HS attendance areas. Students attending Wildwood and ERHS would receive bus service. The site is within the Ferrruci JH walk zone. A pedestrian walkway should be constructed to connect the housing units to 27th Ave SE where students would walk or ride the bus. For questions regarding this comment please contact Brian Devereaux, Director Facilities Planning, Puyallup Public School District, (253) 841-8772, deverebj@puyallupsd.org

A Concomitant agreement applies to this property from its annexation into the City in 1987. However, the City has determined that none of the provisions of this agreement are relevant any longer. The current zoning of the site 'RM-20' is now the applicable zoning of the site and the reference to a required 25ft landscape buffer abutting single-family uses does not apply to this property as there are no abuting single-family uses. The document "Concomitant Agreement -1987" has been uploaded to the documents and images cache for your reference.

Landscaping Req. Pre App Notes: Parking Lots
Parking Area Landscaping Required If the proposed paved areas on site exceed 10,000 square feet, the project landscape architect shall design to the city’s parking lot landscaping standards (Type IV standards of the City’s Vegetation Management Standards Manual (VMS). The site designer and landscape architect will need to review and integrate all the other design requirements of the type IV landscaping standards, including: No more than eight (8) parking spaces shall be placed consecutively without a landscaping island. All perimeter landscape islands (defined as islands which project into parking lots from an area connected to a perimeter landscape yard) shall be a minimum of 12’ wide with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. All internal landscape islands (landscape islands entirely surrounded by paving) shall be a minimum of 15’ in width with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. ‘Head-to-head’ parking stalls and internal landscape islands shall be separated by a ‘connector landscaping strip’ a minimum of 6' in width. All ‘head-to-head’ parking stalls internal to a parking lot shall have internal island ‘end caps’ to separate the parking stalls from abutting drive aisles. These ‘end cap’ islands shall follow the requirements for internal islands (size, dimensions, required landscaping, etc.). We strongly suggest reviewing these requirements as early as possible to assess and determine costs, parking field layout and configuration of civil utilities as to minimize impacts for consistency with the Type IV standards. The Type IV standards may reduce the overall off-street parking stall count. The perimeter of all parking areas and associated access drives which abut public rights-of-way shall be screened with on-site landscaping, earth berms, fencing, or a combination thereof.
