Re: Raymond S. Ross Pre - submission 2007 - 104350
Dear Tony:
The City of Yelm has reviewed the above referenced pre- submission request and offers
the following comments regarding the proposal to permit an RV Repair and Storage in
the Yelm UGA on property currently RR1 -5 and pre -zoned as Low Density Residential
(R -4) upon annexation to the City of Yelm.
As the property is within Yelm's urban growth area, development should be consistent
with the requirements of the Yelm Development Guidelines as well as Thurston County
design standards.
The property is pre -zoned Low Density Residential upon annexation into the City of
Yelm. RV Repair and Storage is a prohibited use in the R -4 Residential zone.
The proposed use is not consistent with future zoning within the City of Yelm, and would
be a non - conforming use upon annexation. This would restrict any expansion of the RV
Repair and Storage use and not allow other similar uses.
Sincerely,
G-rant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
