Required critical area reports are included further in the notes. • Wetlands • Floodplain • Stream (Deer Creek, type II salmon stream) • Potential landslide hazard areas • PHS Sensitive Habitats Access PMC 21.06.1020 – Performance standards – Alteration of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas - Ensure that critical area report addresses this section and what attempts were made to avoid and minimize impacts to Deer Creek. PMC 21.06.1030 – Performance standards – Alteration of streams and riparian habitats - Ensure that critical area report addresses this section as: • Bridges are the preferred crossing for fish-bearing streams. • Culverts are allowed only in Type II, III, and IV streams; provided, that they are designed according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife criteria for fish passage, are necessary for utility crossings, road crossings, or other limited access situations, and are in accordance with a state Hydraulic Project Approval permit. o The applicant or property owner shall keep any culvert free of debris and sediment at all times to allow free passage of water and, if applicable, fish. The city may require that a stream be removed from a culvert as a condition of approval, unless the culvert is not detrimental to fish habitat or water quality, or removal would be detrimental to fish or wildlife habitat or water quality. Buffer Fencing - Permanent fencing off of the buffer should be something like permanent chain-link to ensure that no unpermitted encroachment occurs. Potential Acquisition of Deer Creek The city may have interest in acquiring the portion of Deer Creek that runs through this parcel into a tract through a short plat process. Staff will have an internal conversation regarding whether there is interest and will reach out to applicant with more if the city is interested or if the city does not have interest. Whether the city does acquire the critical area or not, it is likely that the required Deer Creek buffer will stay the same at 100’. Potential Stream Buffer Changes As stated during the pre-application meeting, we are currently updating our critical areas ordinance (CAO). A second public hearing was held with Planning Commission on 09/24/2025, but they did not provide a recommendation to forward to City Council yet.

All areas with slopes 40% or steeper and with a vertical relief of 10 or more feet are designated as landslide hazard critical areas by ordinance. All areas with slopes 15% or steeper with soils mapped by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, or identified by a special study, as having a “moderate to severe,” “severe,” or “very severe” erosion potential are designated erosion hazard critical areas by ordinance. All other sloped areas over 15% up to 39.9% must be studied by a professional engineer or geologist, licensed in the state of Washington, to determine if they meet the requirements of PMC 21.06.1210 (3) for designation as a geologic landslide hazard or erosion hazard critical area. Land that is located wholly within an erosion or landslide hazard area or its buffer may not be subdivided. Land that is located partially within an erosion or landslide hazard area or its buffer may be divided; provided, that each resulting lot has sufficient buildable area outside of, and will not affect, the erosion or landslide hazard or its buffer; Access roads and utilities may be permitted within the erosion or landslide hazard area and associated buffers if the director determines based on an approved critical area report that the road will not increase the risk to adjacent sites and that no other feasible alternative exists. Septic systems are prohibited in landslide hazard areas or buffers PMC 21.06.1230 (10).

LANDSCAPING o The perimeter of all sites shall be landscaped the full depth of the required setbacks for the subject site, or 12 feet, whichever is less o Consult PMC 20.26.500 if the subject site is nonresidential in a residential zone area, or abuts a residentially zoned site. A 30’ landscape buffer may apply. o In no event shall a perimeter landscaping buffer be smaller than six (6) feet. In zone districts where the underlying building setback allows less than 6’, a building footprint may project into a landscape yard. However, in no case shall paving areas project into landscape yards.

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. Other landscaping standards • Storm water facilities shall be landscaped in accordance with SLD-02, contained in the VMS. • 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. • All trash containers shall be screened from abutting properties and public rights-of-way by substantial sight-obscuring landscaping. Sight-obscuring fences and walls can be substituted for plant materials • All portions of a lot not devoted to building, future building, parking, access drives, walks, storage or accessory uses shall be landscaped in a manner consistent with the requirements of this chapter.

Street Trees Req.

Significant trees • Existing tree(s) on the site which is larger than 15” in Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) is considered to be a ‘significant tree’ and must be retained, where possible. o If your site includes any significant trees, then you must include a tree risk assessment completed by a certified arborist and provided with your land use application. Street trees: • Street trees are required, consistent with PMC 11.28 and the VMS. • Please provide a landscape plan indicating street trees consistent with the city’s requirements as outlined in the Municipal Code (PMC 20.58), the Vegetation Management Standards (VMS) manual and city Public Works standards, found here: https://www.cityofpuyallup.org/1445/100---Roadway o Standards 01.02.02, 01.02.03, 01.02.04, 01.02.08A
