Zoning and Setbacks
The property is zoned Commercial (C-1) which is codified at Chapter 17.26 YMC. The C-1 district is intended to provide for the location of business centers to serve the needs of the
community for convenience goods and services such as food, drugs, household supplies, automobile servicing, recreation, entertainment and other uses related to, but lesser in scope,
than downtown core area uses.
The C-1 district allows retail/ food service as a permitted use subject to site plan review approval in accordance with Chapter 17.84 YMC.
Site Plan Review Process
Site plan review and approval is required if there is an additional tenant within an existing commercial establishment as established by Chapter 17.84 YMC.
A Site Plan Review application is an administrative review process. The minimum application requirements can be found at Section 17.84.060 YMC and are listed on the application form.
A notice of application is mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the site.
The site plan review committee’s decision on a site plan review application may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner, who would hold an open record hearing on the issue. The Examiner’s
decision can be appealed to the City Council, which would hold
a closed record hearing and determine if the decision was supported by substantial evidence or contrary to law. If a SEPA appeal is filed, the site plan review would be combined with
that appeal and the Hearing Examiner would become the decision maker with a recommendation from the SPR Committee. An open record hearing would be held by the examiner on the site plan
review application, if combined with a SEPA appeal.
Land use approval typically contains conditions of approval that the applicant must complete prior to receiving final approval.
Mobile food service within the City of Yelm may require additional permits. Business Licenses are required for anyone conducting business within the City of Yelm.
