Design Guidelines: If you decide to proceed with your project and after receipt of a Site Plan Review Application, the City of Yelm will supply you with a Downtown Design Guidelines
Check list. Completion of the checklist will assist the staff in determining that the guidelines required for your project have been met. The checklist is divided into five sections.
I will be reviewing Section IV, Building Design.
Building Design: Building Design consists of seven sections that may or may not apply to you depending on the size and location of your project.
Review requires completion of the checklist and two sets of architectural elevations showing the composition of the exterior wall, windows and roof elements. Each element will have
the color and texture noted.
Accessory Buildings: Examples of accessory buildings are refuse screens, fire sprinkler control houses and garages. Using a fence or physical structure to screen mechanical equipment
is also subject to review. All accessory buildings should be included on the architectural elevations. Failure to do so may cause delay or added costs to your project.
Plan Review: After the site plan review is completed you may submit 5 sets of full sized drawings and specifications, one of which may be half size. Sets should only include architectural,
structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical drawings. Approval will cover the first four sections. The electrical section is for reference only. See Commercial Building Permit
Application for specific submittal requirements.
