Findings of Fact
1. This Mitigated Determination of Non Significance is based on the project as proposed and the impacts and potential mitigation measures reflected in the following environmental documents:
Environmental Checklist (dated January 2005, prepared by SCA Consulting Group)
Preliminary Storm Drainage and Erosion Control Report (prepared by SCA Consulting Group)
The City of Yelm has adopted a concurrency management system as required by the Growth Management Act. Chapter 15.40 YMC (Concurrency Management) is designed to ensure that the improvements
required to support development are available at the time of development. A concurrency determination may be issued for a proposal as it relates to transportation issues when: the development
provides on-site frontage improvements; the project makes off-site improvements as necessary to provide for the safe movement of traffic; and the project makes a contribution to projects
identified the six year transportation improvement program in the form of a Transportation Facilities Charge.
Chapter 15.40 Concurrency Management provides for mitigation measures for impacts to the City’s transportation system. Chapter 15.40.020(5)(a) states that “The project makes on-site,
and frontage improvements, consistent with City standard for utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bicycle lanes where appropriate, and roads necessary to serve the proposed project
consistent with safety and public interest. Frontage improvements are usually required for the entire property frontage.
Mitigation Measures
The developer shall mitigate transportation impacts based on the new P.M. peak hour trips generated by the project. The Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) shall be based on a miscellaneous
retail use.
Frontage improvements shall extend from the northern property line at Bald Hills Road to the new entrance into the development on the Morris Road Cul-de-sac.
Any engine repair at this site shall require a hazardous spill containment plan approved by Thurston County.
