Dear Mr. and Mrs. McKown:
City of Yelm
Community Development Department
105 Yelm Auenue West
P.O. Sox 479
Yelm, WA 98597
This is in response to your letter requesting a determination as to whether you could
replace an existing mobile home on property located at 10502 Grove Road SE and
identified by Assessor's Tax Parcel Number 64303100801 in the event that it were
destroyed.
The property is zoned Large Lot Commercial (C -3), which does not allow single family
dwellings unless they are located on existing lots of record under one acre in area.
Based on this, the mobile home is a non - conforming use. Chapter 19.93 Yelm
Municipal Code states that a non - conforming use may be continued and maintained
provided that it is not expanded, enlarged, or extended and that it is not discontinued or
abandoned for a period longer than 18 months.
In summary, if the existing pre- existing, non - conforming dwelling were to be damaged
or destroyed it could be replaced provided it were no larger than the existing mobile
home and it were replaced within 18 months.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the
Community Development Department.
Sincerely,
Grant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
