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 (January 2006, Bryan McCammant)
2. 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 14.12 YMC requires the dedication of open space for all residential development. Section 14.12.050 YMC lists four (4) attributes for qualification of open space. The applicant
proposes to preserve the Shoreline Jurisdiction area as open space.
The Yelm School District has adopted a school mitigation requirement based on the demand that new residential units create for additional school services and facilities. Additional
demands on the school system will be mitigated through the requirement that the developer enter into a mitigation agreement with the District.
Mitigation Measures
The developer shall mitigate transportation impacts based on the new residential P.M. peak hour trips generated by the project. The Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) shall be based
on .60 new peak hour trips per residential unit. The proponent will be responsible for a TFC of $450.00 per dwelling unit which is payable at time of building permit. Credit should
be given for the existing single-family dwelling.
Temporary erosion control systems to be approved by the City of Yelm.
The developer shall dedicate the Shoreline Jurisdiction area as open space.
The developer shall enter into an agreement with Yelm Community Schools to mitigate project impacts to the School District.
