Mr. Eagan,
The use of your property located at 106 Yelm Avenue West as a meeting place for a
motorcycle club is in violation of building and zoning codes.
The International Building Code classifies a tattoo parlor (the approved use of the
property) as a B occupancy and a meeting space as an A -2 (if food and drink are
consumed) or an A -3 (meeting hall) occupancy. A building permit will be required for
the conversion of the structure, which will require the building be brought up to current
code standards.
While the Yelm Zoning Code allows fraternal organizations in the Central Business
District, the change from a service use (tattoo parlor) to a fraternal organization
requires a site plan review approval. A requirement of the site plan review approval will
be to bring the property up to current development code standards such as a paved
parking lot, pedestrian pathways, and frontage improvements.
The use of the property as a meeting space should cease until such time as all required
permits and approvals are obtained.
Thank you.
Gary Carlson
Building Official
