FRONTAGE 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.

WATER
• This site is located within the City of Puyallup Water district. Any proposed connection to the City water system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.02.120]
• Refer to City Standards, Section 300 for Water System Requirements. [PMC 17.42]
• The applicant shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the proposed water system located on private property.
• A reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) may be required on the domestic line at each location where the proposed water main connects to the public system. If an irrigation system is proposed, a DCVA is required on that line. [PMC 14.02.220(3) & CS 302]
• The following list shows examples of uses and industries where an RPBA is probably required:
• Agricultural (farms and dairies)
• Beverage bottling plants
• Car washes
• Chemical Plants
• Commercial laundries and dry cleaners
• Premises where both reclaimed and potable water are provided
• Film processing facilities
• Food processing plants
• Hospitals, medical and dental centers, nursing homes and veterinary
• Blood and plasma centers
• Premises with separate irrigation systems using the purveyor’s water with chemical addition
• Laboratories
• Metal plating industries
• Mortuaries
• Petroleum processing or storage plants
• Piers and docks
• Radioactive material processing plants or nuclear reactors
• Wastewater lift stations and treatment plants
• Premises with an unapproved auxiliary water supply interconnected with potable supply
• If an RPBA is not appropriate then the applicant shall provide backflow protection with the installation of a double check valve assembly (DCVA) on the domestic connection to the public water main, if one does not currently exist. A plumbing permit is required for this work to be completed; and the unit should be located outside the building, immediately downstream of the existing water meter if possible. If an irrigation system is also proposed, a DCVA is required on that line as well. [PMC 14.02.220(3) & CS 302.2]
• To obtain credit towards water and sewer System Development Fees for existing facilities, the applicant shall provide the City evidence of the existing plumbing fixtures prior to demolition or removal. A written breakdown of the removed fixture types, quantities, and associated fixture units shall accompany the building permit application and be subject to review and approval by the City. [PMC 14.02.040, 14.10.030]
• For any commercial building, a water system development charge (SDC) will be assessed based on the number of plumbing fixture units as defined in the Uniform Plumbing Code. Current SDC’s as of this writing are $5,521.00 for the first 15 plumbing fixture units and an additional charge of $369.91 for each fixture unit in excess of the base 15 plumbing fixture units. [PMC 14.02.040]
• Water connection fees and systems development charges are due at the time of building permit issuance and do not vest until time of permit issuance. [PMC 14.10.010, 14.10.030]

SEWER
• This site is located within the City of Puyallup Sewer district. Any proposed connection to the City sewer system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.08.070]
• Refer to City Standards, Section 400 for Sewer System Requirements. [PMC 17.42]
• The City Sewer Department may request to conduct a visual inspection of a previously used side sewer to determine if that side sewer can be used again. Existing laterals must meet current standard to be used again. It is the responsibility of the property owner to expose the line as necessary for that inspection. The City reserves the right to request video inspection of the side sewer to assist in its determination. [CS 401(15) & CS 401(16)]
• To obtain credit towards water and sewer System Development Fees for existing facilities, the applicant shall provide the City evidence of the existing plumbing fixtures prior to demolition or removal. A written breakdown of the removed fixture types, quantities, and associated fixture units shall accompany the building permit application and be subject to review and approval by the City. [PMC 14.02.040, 14.10.030]
• For any commercial building, a sewer system development charge (SDC) will be assessed based on the number of plumbing fixture units as defined in the Uniform Plumbing Code. Current SDC’s as of this writing are $6,712.39 for the first 15 plumbing fixture units and an additional charge of $449.73 for each fixture unit in excess of the base 15 plumbing fixture units. [PMC 14.02.040]
• Sewer connection fees and systems development charges are due at the time of building permit issuance and do not vest until time of permit issuance. [PMC 14.10.010, 14.10.030]

STORM
• As no work is proposed outside of the building footprint, stormwater mitigation is not anticipated to be triggered. If the scope of work changes to be outside of the building, storm requirements will need to be re-evaluated.

A traffic scoping worksheet will be required for this project. City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 12th Edition.
Traffic Impact fees (TIF) will be assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.20.
Impact fees are subject to change and are adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall pay the proportionate impact fees adopted at the time of building permit application.
Trip generation is expected to be consistent with previous use and new fees are not anticipated based on the current scope.
If the applicant or representative is unfamiliar with trip generation calculations, you may contact MHutchens@puyallupwa.gov for assistance with completing the document.

General Notes:
- Building plans must comply with the currently adopted City of Puyallup codes (RCW 19.27 and PMC 17.04.030). New codes are anticipated to be adopted by November 2026. Any submittals received after the effective date will be required to comply with all applicable new code requirements.
- All electrical work is permitted through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I).
Project Notes:
- At least one of the sandboxes shall include an accessible means of entry.
- Please indicate the height of the sandboxes on the plans. If any sandbox exceeds 2 feet in height, it is recommended that a structural engineer review the floor construction. For reference, 2 cubic feet of sand weighs approximately 200 pounds.
- The plans shall demonstrate how the lateral pressure of the sand will be resisted. Please provide construction details for the sandboxes, including any anchors, supports, or other restraining methods used for the sandbox walls.
