Subject: Craig Deaver Rezone Request for parcel 52920000003
The City has received a rezone request from Mr. Craig Deaver to rezone the parcel located at 15106
Carter Loop Road SE from C-1 Commercial to R-6 Moderate Density Residential.
SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS
The parcel currently has a one vacant structure. City water, sewer, and other utilities are available from
Carter Loop SE, which also provides access to the site.
The parcel lies within the Yelm Urban Growth Area and is bordered by single family homes and SR 507.
The parcel is currently zoned Commercial 1, and adjacent zoning is residential (114). The neighborhood is
immediately adjacent to Ridgeline Middle School and Mill Pond Elementary School. The nearest
Commercial I zone is .39 miles northeast of the subject site. The site is located in an area where the
infrastructure is in place and can support the proposed development. This includes roads and utilities
which are located in Carter Loop Road SE.
LOGICAL ZONING BOUNDARIES
If rezoned, the location and boundary of the parcel will keep a consistent and logical boundary between
residential zones.
CONSTRAINTS/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
There no known wetlands, flood zones, or high ground water flooding on the site. The site does contain
soils "more preferred" for the protected Mazama Pocket Gopher, so a pocket gopher survey and report
would need to be completed before future development could occur.
BACKGROUND
Originally designated as Tract D of the Hawks Landing Plat recorded March 5,2003. (SUB-03-8333-YL),
the parcel was intended for "Future Commercial use, however; notes on the face of the recorded map
regarding Tract D have been lined out and initialed by the original owner. There are no details regarding
Tract D in the Staff Report or why the note was lined out on the recorded final plat.

REVIEW AND APPROVAL CRITERIA
Rezones require a Comprehensive Plan amendment which must conform with the requirements of the
Washington State Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW, and all amendments for permanent
changes to the comprehensive plan must be submitted to the Washington State Department of
Commerce, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106.
The rezone must be consistent with the goals of the Washington State Growth Management Act and the
goals and policies of the City of Yelm Comprehensive Plan.
The amendment must meet the goals of the Washington State Growth Management Act as follows:
(1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and
services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
Utilities including sewer and water are located within the property frontage. The
property is close to services including gas stations, restaurants, and other retail.
Elementary, middle and high schools are close by. The proposed amendment would
provide more housing in close proximity to services and jobs.
(2) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low -
density development.
The proposed rezone would be consistent with the goal as it would allow for higher
density residential uses in close proximity to jobs and services. The requested R-6
residential land use designation allows up to six dwellings per acre.
(3) Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on
regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans.
Yelm Avenue West (SR 507) and Carter Loop Road SE are constructed to City standards,
which include public sidewalks and transit services.
(4) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the
population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and
encourage preservation of existing housing stock.
The R-6 zone allows for single and multifamily development, and would allow for a
variety of housing types in the City.
(5) Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is
consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of
this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and
expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional
Page 2 of 4
differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas
experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state' s natural
resources, public services, and public facilities.
The proposed rezone would convert this parcel from commercial to residential. While
the R-6 does not allow commercial uses, providing more housing options near the City's
commercial center will likely create more business for the downtown area.
(6) Property rights. Private property shall not betaken for public use without just compensation
having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and
discriminatory actions.
The proposal does not require any taking of private property.
The proposed rezone should be evaluated for internal consistency with the comprehensive plan, and for
consistency with the county -wide planning policies, related plans, and the comprehensive plan of
Thurston County.
The applicable goals of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan are as follows:
Land Use Element Goal 5 states: "Encourage diverse residential growth." Supporting policies
include 5.2 Adopt development standards that allow duplexes, townhouses, and accessory
dwelling units within residential areas to increase the variety of housing in the community.
Land Use Element Goal 11 states: "Create safe and vibrant neighborhoods with places that build
community and encourage active transportation." Supporting policies include 11.2 Plan for land
use patterns that provide most neighborhood residents an array of basic services within a half
mile or 20-minute walk from home.
The Housing element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages a variety of housing types and a
range of affordable housing, with additional goals to provide energy efficient housing.
The proposed Residential zoning allows for, and encourages a variety of housing types.
The location near commercial areas provides for basic services within a half -mile. The
amendment would allow for residential uses, close to services, which is consistent with
this goal.
Housing Goal 9 states: "Increase housing amid urban corridors and centers to meet the needs of
a changing population."
The proposed amendment area is close to a commercial center, and medical facilities,
restaurant, and childcare. Nearby is more convenience retail such as gas stations and
fast food facilities.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
After careful evaluation, staff find the proposed rezone is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan
and recommend that the Planning Commission send the proposal to the City Council with the following
motion:

RE: Carter Loop SE — Rezone Request Application (CES #06141)
Dear City Staff:
On behalf of our client, this letter serves as our narrative for a Rezone Request from Commercial 1 to
Residential 6 (R6) for Thurston County parcel 52920000003; a .92-acre parcel located at 15106 Carter
Loop SE — Yelm.
The parcel lies within the Yehn Urban Growth Area and is bordered by single family homes and SR 507.
The parcel is currently zoned Commercial 1, and adjacent zoning is residential.(R4). The neighborhood is
immediately adjacent to Ridgeline Middle School and Mill Pond Elementary School. The nearest
Commercial 1 zone is .39 miles northeast of the subject site. The site is located in an area where the
infrastructure is in place and can support the proposed development. This includes roads and utilities which
are located in Carter Loop Road SE.
Originally designated as Tract D of the Hawks Landing Plat recorded March 5, 2003. (SUB-03-8333-YL),
the parcel was intended for "Future Commercial" use, however; notes on the face of the recorded map
regarding Tract D have been lined out and initialed by the original owner. There are no details regarding
Tract D in the Staff Report or why the note was lined out on the recorded final plat.
In keeping with the Yelm Comprehensive Plan, adopting residential land use for this parcel could address
the community needs and encourage diverse residential growth by allowing duplexes and/or townhomes. It
would meet the intent of the comprehensive plan to increase the variety of housing types and densities
within the community.
Currently, the Commercial 1 zoning allows residential as a part of a mixed -use development, however;
apartments are the only dwelling type allowed with this use. Due to the constraint of the parcel shape and
size, mixed use could be limited by open space and parking requirements and/or access points. We are
requesting a rezone to R6 in order to develop the parcel with duplexes or townhomes.
Pleasery,
ct u i you have any questions or need additional information.
