FRONTAGE • Any person or entity who constructs or causes to be constructed any new commercial/industrial building or expansion of an existing commercial/industrial building either of which have a structure improvement value exceeding $200,000 in valuation shall construct curb, gutters, 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 adjoining the property upon which such building 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. There is no cap on frontage improvements for new buildings or expansion of existing buildings. [PMC 11.08.135]

Traffic scoping worksheet will be required. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 12th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development. The City has adopted a City-Wide Traffic Impact Fee of $4,500 per PM peak hour trip. Final fees will be calculated and assessed by the City at the time of building permit issuance. * Note: The City is currently conducting an impact fee rate study. These notes do not vest the project to any current impact fee rate. Once the traffic scoping worksheet is reviewed, a written response will be sent to the applicant’s traffic engineer outlining the scope of the project’s Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The need for a right turn pocket along S Meridian shall be evaluated. To safely accommodate significant vehicle demand, the City will require site circulation to be re-configured to ensure queue storage is maximized (and does not impact Meridian). Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced. Right of Way dedication will be required. This commercial development shall provide an AutoTurn analysis for the largest anticipated vehicle that would access the site. Curb radii and entrance dimensions shall be increased as necessary to allow vehicles to access the site without encroaching into adjacent lanes of traffic. The S Meridian driveway shall meet minimum commercial driveway requirements (35ft curb radius, 30ft width). This is could change based on the design vehicles used for the AutoTurn analysis. S Meridian along the site is designated as a major arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1) require minimum driveway spacing of 300 feet from the nearest intersection or driveway measured between closest edges of each access. To mitigate deficient driveway spacing along this heavily congested arterial section, access shall be restricted to right-in/right-out. Sight distance analysis may be required during the preliminary site plan review. On-site monument signage must be located outside sight distance triangle.

As changes are made to the site plan based on traffic comments and planning requirements, please feel free to reach out to me for additional input regarding site plan development. My main concerns for this site plan were regarding required building setbacks from the front yard as well as perimeter landscaping requirements being met. Traffic comments were significant enough to likely change the placement of the car wash structure. Setbacks for car wash structure, if the drive-through lanes cannot meet PMC 20.30.045 (15), can be found in PMC 20.30.030 - Property Development Standards and in PMC 20.30.037 - Site Plan Design Principles in CG zones. PMC 20.30.037 (2) Street Orientation for New Buildings and Site Development. All site developments shall utilize the following standards in preparing site plan layouts: (a) For developments outside of the downtown planned action area, a pedestrian-oriented plaza space in front of the building at least eight feet deep running the full width of the building. This area shall be covered by awnings covering at least six feet of the plaza space. This plaza space shall include amenities such as bike parking, bench seating, planters, fountains, artwork, decorative railing, decorative light fixtures, hanging baskets or other features that are pedestrian scaled in nature. Within the downtown planned action area, see PMC § 20.30.033(1); and (b) Buildings on street corners shall locate the main entryway with a plaza space (200 square feet minimum) at or near (50 lineal foot maximum) the building corner, or establish a defined path (12-foot width minimum) leading from the public right-of-way directly to building entries using decorative/stamped paving; and (c) New buildings shall be built 12 feet from the abutting front yard and street side yard right-of-way to improve pedestrian orientation and overall building design. Buildings may deviate from this setback under the following conditions: (i) Buildings may be set back to a maximum of 20 feet to accommodate an eight-foot plaza space as required by subsection (2)(a) of this section. (ii) Optionally, the pedestrian plaza space may project into the required front or street side yard landscape buffer (as required under PMC § 20.58.005(2)) by a maximum of four feet; corner plaza spaces or outdoor cafes may project into the required landscape buffer by a maximum of six feet. (d) Site development plans shall be designed so that, to the greatest extent feasible, buildings and building entries are at street level and not elevated by retaining walls, particularly on sides of buildings where an entryway is oriented toward the abutting right-of-way.
