The City of Yelm’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGA) is established and discussed in the City of Yelm Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County. The parcel included in this
annexation petition is within the UGA. It is located within the City’s Water and Sewer service areas.
14. Other specific Reason(s) for Annexation:
The proposed annexation parcel includes land that is required for future right-of-way of the SR 510 Yelm Loop (Y-2). A commercial development occurring across the SR 507 from this
parcel is constructing a portion of
the SR 510 Yelm Loop as well as installing a signalized intersection. Development of this parcel, and the adjoining parcel to the west, would complete the signalized intersection improvements,
and provide the right-of-way needed for a portion of the future Yelm Loop. The construction of the future right-of-way is imperative for the commercial development of these parcels.
The proposed annexation creates a logical boundary for the City.
15. Explain how this proposal furthers the objectives of the Boundary Review Board (as applicable) (RCW 36.93.180) [attach additional pages if necessary] (Some of these items may not
apply because of Growth Management Agreements.):
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities:
The annexation area consists of one parcel, developed as rural residential, with one single family home, and 2 barn structures. Future zoning of this parcel as Heavy Commercial and
current zoning and development of surrounding parcels as Large Lot Commercial, is designated and planned for this type of development. The City will provide water and service to the
proposed annexation area.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways, and land contours:
The proposed annexation area follows SR 507 and existing property lines. At the time of development, dedication and construction of right-of-way for the future SR 510 Yelm Loop will
create safe access to the parcels, and benefits the City and community. It is a logical City boundary that completes the commercial zoning in this area.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas:
Sewer and water have recently been installed in the area of this proposed annexation. The land is included in the City of Yelm Water and Sewer Service Areas.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries:
The annexation area follows existing property lines, and completes the commercial zoning in this area.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of incorporation of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated urban areas:
The annexation area lies in the urban growth boundary as established in the City of Yelm Comprehensive Plan, Joint Plan with Thurston County.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts:
There are no special purpose districts in the proposed annexation area.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries:
The annexation area extends the city limits within a practical boundary.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated areas which are urban in character:
The annexation area is zoned Rural Residential 1/5, and is adjacent to land within the City limits that is commercially zoned and currently in commercial construction.
i. Protection of agricultural lands:
The annexation area land has not been in active agricultural use.
For your information, the Boundary Review Board can consider the following factors (RCW 36.93.170) in deciding whether a particular decision furthers the objectives stated above:

6. Topography, natural boundaries and drainage basins, proximity to other populated areas
7. The existence of prime agricultural soils and agricultural uses
8. The likelihood of significant growth in the area and in adjacent incorporation and unincorporated areas during the next ten years
9. Location and most desirable future location of community facilities
10. Municipal services
11. Need for municipal services
12. Effect of ordinances, governmental codes, regulations and resolutions on existing uses
13. Present cost and adequacy of governmental services and controls in area
14. Prospects of governmental services from other sources
15. Probable future needs for such services and controls
16. Probable effect of proposal or alternative on cost and adequacy of services and controls in area and adjacent area
17. The effect of the finances, debt structure, and contractual obligations and rights of all affected governmental units
18. The effect of the proposal or alternative on adjacent areas, on mutual economic and social interests, and on the local governmental structure of the county
19. Decisions of the Boundary Review Board must also be consistent with the Washington State Growth Management Act RCW 36.70A.020, 36.70A.110, and 36.70A.210.
