Intent The Yelm Comprehensive Ptan represents the vision of the City of Yelm for development of the community over the next 20 to 250 years. This Plan also serves as the Joint Plan between Yelm and Thurston County for Yelm's Urban Growth Area {see the sections of the plan marked with an *). The Plan is written in the context of the State Growth Management Act, which mandates issues which must be dealt with in a comprehensive plan and County-Wide Planning Policies which identify how certain aspects of growth management planning are to be met in Thurston County. Relevant County-Wide Policies in place at the adoption of this plan are included at Tab 1. The narrative portions of the Plan identify specific goals and objectives of the City for the UGArl~~r~--E,rewfti--Area which shall be considered policies for purposes of consistency. The purpose of the Joint Comprehensive Plan (the "Plan") is to identify how development is to occur over the next 20 to 258 years for the City area and for the County area within the UGA rt~~a Grewt#-luea.which will eventually be served by City of Yelm public facilities and utilities. The Plan is to be revisited not less than each five seven years to review population progress, the effectiveness of the existing plan, and the need for change. B. Content The Plan is designed to incorporate and coordinate many of the Yelm planning documents into a coordinated whole. For purposes of a complete picture, the "Yelm Comprehensive Plan" consists of the following documents: VOLUME 1 Comprehensive Plan Text Applicable to Entire City and UGA?

Consistency The Joint Comprehensive Plan for the UGA incorporates and consolidates much of the planning which has been going on in the UGA. Many plans, including transportation and water, were completed using assumptions or calculations somewhat different from the assumptions used in this Comprehensive Plan. Where a variation exists, the more recent shall control and nonconforming plans are to be modified accordingly. I-5 II. GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT PLANNING PARAMETERS A.

In addition (*) reiterates the portions of the plan adopted by Thurston Countv. 1 ' Growth Management Act The City of Yelm is participating in comprehensive planning under the provisions of the Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW. The purpose of the Act is to promote responsive, responsible local planning to accomplish thirteen identified statewide goals. a r r The following State Growth Management Act goals are adopted to guide the development and adoption of comprehensive plans and development regulations of those counties and cities that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040. The following goals are not listed in order of priority and shall be used exclusively for the purpose of guiding the development of comprehensive plans and development regulations: (1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. (2) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. (3) Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans. (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. (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 differences impacting economic development opportunities. and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient II-1 economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities. (6) Property rights. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. (7) Permits. Applications for both state and local government permits should be processed in a timely and fair manner to ensure predictability. (8) Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource- based industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. Encourage the conservation of productive forest lands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses. (9) Open space and recreation. Retain open space, enhance ~=ti recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks and recreation facilities. (10) Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of I'rfe, including air and water quality, and the availability of water. (11) Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts. (12) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. (13) Historic preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures that have historical or archaeological significance. RCW 36.70A.020 The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to identify how the statewide goals will be met in the City of Yelm and the UGA. Procedural guidelines for the adoption of this plan were provided by the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development under WAC 365-195-300 which were followed in the preparation of this document. 2." County-Wide Planning Policies (CWPP) Thurston County, with the advice of the Cities and Towns in Thurston County, adopted County-Wide Planning Policies (CWPP) to aid and focus the Growth Management planning activities in Thurston County. These County-Wide Planning Policies were specifically approved by the City of Yelm. The CWPP in effect at the time the City of Yelm adopted its Comprehensive Plan are as set forth at Exhibit A. The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to identify how the II-2 CWPP, as applicable, will be implemented in the City of Yelm and the UGA. The County-Wide Planning Policies are specifically adopted as the policy base for the Joint Plan in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Yelm UGArban Grewt##ea. 3. City of Yelm's Objectives a. Background The City of Yelm is a small town located in Northeastern Thurston County at the junction of two state highways. Growth in the vicinity is determined by the community's proximity to Fort Lewis and the rapidly growing Pierce County area, from Puyallup and Fredrickson toward the north, to Spanaway and Roy toward the south. The City of Yelm is also subject to growth pressures spilling over from the Thurston County metropolitan area and particularly the Lacey/East Lacey suburbs of the Lacey UGALJr13aa It is expected that the growth induced by the development of the major planned communities at DuPont, Meridian Campus, and Hawks Prairie will also spur growth in the Yelm area, as will the Thurston Highlands Planned Community, which is being designed to reach the recreational/golf/retirement market which does not now exist in the area as a focus development. In addition, Yelm is the urban center providing many of the urban services for a large suburban/rural community located in the Northeast Thurston County area. b. Comprehensive Plan Purpose The purpose of Yelm's Comprehensive Plan is to identify how the City will prepare for and deal with growth which it is legally required to accommodate under the State Growth Management Act, as well as the other forces which will shape and guide the community in the future. Yelm's Comprehensive Plan is a continuation of the Joint Planning process between the City of Yelm and Thurston County prior to 1990. (That Draft Plan is included as Volume 5/Appendix H for reference purposes, but is superseded by this Comprehensive Plan for all policy purposes). The stated purpose of that Joint Plan was "to promote consistency of local plans and certainty about future development," which continues to be the focus of City planning under this Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the policy base for implementing the County-Wide Planning Policies (copy attached at Exhibit A) within the Yelm UGA~~^^ ''~^••"~ ^•°^, including both incorporated and unincorporated Urban Growth Areas.

Basis for Public Facility and Utility Planning The City of Yelm uses the , ~~~ `fir-2^~4o~TMedium Density (population of 11 480 by 20301 for planning utilities and public facilities within the city limits and UGAr{~~n-Grewtla-Area. The use of the--kligh--6rowt#Medium Growth assumption for such planning is consistent with the regional model adopted as part of the regional allocation process. The City may also use a 50-year planning horizon for certain portions of public facilities as detailed in public facility plans. 3. Range of Accuracy on Projections and Trends 4.

Urban Growth Area Boundaries Goals and Objectives of the Yelm UGArt~u~ Grew4h-Area Boundary The UGAA~~t~ GrewtM-Area is a product of joint planning with the Board of Thurston County Commissioners after review and recommendation by the Urban Growth Management Committee. The UGAr1~;~-6rewth-Area is designed to permit growth to occur, at urban densities, during the next 20 years, while assuring adequate facilities and the preservation of sufficient land to assure adequate open space and preservation of critical areas. The area must also contain sufficient land area to assure reasonable choice and variety in meeting residential, commercial, and industrial needs and a reasonable allowance of reserve areas to provide a-competitive and affordable land on which new development should occur. ^^ '~'^ '~"^• ^ ^` '~° ~''~~ ~^° •'°'^•^~'^^a `~^"~^ ....,...a:.... ,.a ..................~,.i., cnoc .,.,.....,........,.. ~~ i~.° .°.. ~a....~~.,i ~....°~ ~~ °~~°..a~i .See Chapter III Table 1 and 2 for estimates of land needed to accommodate copulation growth and land sucply vs. demand. 2. The Planning Subarea Characterization of the Yelm Growth Area The key elements used to identify the property in and-areunc~the City of Yelm and its Urban Growth Area are as follows: a. Characterized by urban growth or adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth. b. Served or planned to be served by municipal utilities. c. Near urban areas and characterized by the ability to support urban growth. d. Follows logical boundaries. e. Provides adequate room for growth. f. Reflects citizen preference. II-6 Velm 3.301 4172 4172 4.525 4671 4737 4.936 .4° 4.2% 3. Urban Growth Area Boundaries The Plan identifies °~^^'.,,,o..-`~r,r~^ growth boundaries which are designed to encourage development at urban levels of density on urban services. The City of Yelm will not annex beyond the shale-te~r~Urban Growth bBoundary and will extend utilities beyond the City limits only when a public health emergency requiring such action is approved by the County, and will not impose a financial burden on the City. D.* The Planning Sub-Areas "East" Planning Area (see Map 10) The East Planning Area is bounded by the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks on the west, the Centralia Power Canal on the north and east, and State Route 510 on the south. a. Urban Growth The East Planning Area is characterized by significant commercial development within the City. The UGArk~m--6rewth-Area is presently characterized by awell-established road network and areas of urban and suburban densities, as well as some property at lower densities, and a potential for future growth. The land is relatively free of environmentally sensitive lands, other than the aquifer which is shallow and uncapped, and is generally suitable for more intensive development provided groundwater conUols are established. Phased utility planning will be used to facilitate development at urban levels of density. b. Municipal Utilities The East Planning Area is within the water service area of the City and development at any higher-level density requires sewers, since most of the area is underlain by an uncapped drinking water aquifer. Lower density areas are presently served by water, but not sewer services. Areas using on-site septic systems would be regulated through a sewer/septic utility, until sewers and higher density development +sare available. c. Logical Boundaries The railroad, the state highway, and the canal make logical physical boundaries for the East Planning Area, which is one of the two planning II-7 areas within the City which are closest to Pierce County and the growth occurring in the Roy-McKenna area. 2. "South" Planning Area (see Map 81-1) The South Planning area is bounded by State Highway 510 on its north and west boundaries. The east boundary is the Centralia Power Canal and the south boundary is the base of a ridge which reflects a logical point of division between the urban and rural areas. a. Urban Growth The core of the South Planning Area is part of the urban center of the community. Anew school site is located on the western boundary of the site and the northern boundary is the commercial development prevalent along State Highway 510. The area close to the existing city limits is substantially developed in suburban lots, which is the anticipated development pattern. The area near the City contains few limitations for development and is considered appropriate for urban levels of development. b. Municipal Utilities The South Planning Area is served or planned to be served by City sewer and water. City sewer is expected to be provided in the area. Due to the substantial recent development on septic tanks, the City anticipates using a septic maintenance program to monitor and assure adequate sewer service in this planning area until sewer lines are extended to facilitate urban growth. c. Logical Boundaries The state highways and the canal provide logical physical features for the urban boundary. The southern boundary is a physical feature and potential state highway corridor, which provides a logical area within which the City will provide urban services. The leng-termUrban Growth Boundary area includes an existing AgriculturelEnvironmentally-Sensitive Area which is included because teAg-terra-development is expected over time and the area makes a logical service boundary. 3. "Southwest" Planning Area (see Map 91~) The Southwest Planning Area is bounded by Fort Lewis on the west, 93 Ave SW and Highway 507 on the north, Highway 510 on the east, and the City Limits on the south. a. Urban Growth More than 90% of the Southwest Planning Area is included within the City of Yelm as part of the Southwest Yelm Annexation Area. The area is II-8 being planned as the Thurston Highlands Community. The area will have a mix of single family and multifamily residential uses as well as open space, parks, school sites, and commercial spaces. The overall average density of the Planned Community is 3-b 4 units per acre tpross density}. b. Municipal Utilities All of the growth in the Southwest Planning Area is planned to be served by sewer and water from the City of Yelm. Any on-site systems approved in advance of sewer approval will be required to participate in and hook up to the extended sewers and would be subject to the City septic maintenance utility. The area is projected to contain a main water reservoir for the City, as well as a storage facility integrated into the golf course ponds, for irrigation water storage. The irrigation water may be recycled from the City's water treatment facility. c. Logical Boundaries The Southwest Planning Area is marked by a single large property ownership, Thurston Highlands, which is completely within the present City limits. Fort Lewis, 93rd, and the state highways are all used for planning purposes to define limits of sewer and water service areas and provide a logical boundary. The leag-terFnUrban Growth Boundary area includes an Environmentally- Sensitive/Agriculture area. The area is surrounded by roads, utilities, and other urban development, and is included to ensure a logical and cost- effective service area boundary. 4. "Northwest" Planning Area (see Map 103) The Northwest Planning Area is bounded on the north by the Centralia Power Canal, on the east by the Burlington-Northern Railroad, on the south by 93rd Avenue and SR 510, and on the west by the north-south centerline of Section 14, Township 17N, Range 1 E and the south line of the north half of Sections 13 and 14, Township 17N, Range 1 E. a. Urban Growth The easterly portion of the Northwest Planning Area is comprised of one of the most rapidly growing areas in Yelm. The westerly portion, although of a lower residential density, is characterized by the Knight complex, which is used for education, publication, and other business uses, and often hosts programs which result in a periodic influx of visitors for public gatherings. b. Municipal Utilities The easterly portion of the Northwest Planning Area is to be accommodated by sewer and water service. The westerly portion is II-9 outside the sfieft-term urban growth boundary and will continue to be served by on-site systems until road and sewer improvements are available for extension of urban services. c. Logical Boundaries Major roads such as 93rd and SR 510, and defining features such as the Canal and Fort Lewis provide logical boundaries for the Northwest Planning Area. E. Public Participation Build on Existing Work Done It is the policy of Yelm to build on incorporate prior public programs, such parks planning and visioning processes. work previousy done, to include and as joint planning, the Economic Summit, 2.* Provide Public Notice It is the policy of Yelm to provide public notice and opportunities for public participation throughout the Comprehensive Planning process. 3._ Provide Opportunity for Public Input It is the policy of Yelm to provide opportunity for public input at all phases of Plan development. II - 10 III. LAND USE A.* Policy Guide Note: See Chapter pion appiicabie to the Citv and UGA areas and C Applicability for a list of the goals and policies applicable to the unincorporated portion of the Yelm UGArl~~ri-6rewtl}Area, +s The purpose of this Land Use Section of the Comprehensive Plan is to ident'rfy a pattern of development which will: 1. Promote infill at urban densities; 2. Permit cost effective phasing of urban utilities to enable the community to sustain project growth patterns; 3. Identify policies to guide development regulations which will allow implementation of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan; and 4. Provide a plan in which the required population is accommodated consistent with the State Growth Management Act and goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan, and-consistent with the community resources. B. Land Use Patterns 1. Existing Land Use Designations. Within the city limits, the City of Yelm's current land use patterns are shown on Volume I, Map 2, which shows the existing (a-994 zoning of the Yelm area. Development regulations will modify density, use, and other standards to be consistent with the criteria below. 2.' Proposed Land Use Designations. The future land use plan is to be adopted as the land use and pre-annexation zoning for the City of Yelm. Properties which annex to the City will annex at the identified land use subject to the utility availability overlay. a. Residential The residential areas provide for the bulk of the housing development in the planning areas. Minimum densities III - 1 gr~wvtp_boyridaries-will help achieve overall density goals. Development standards will be established to permit integration of duplexes, townhouses, and accessory units within the City's residential areas, using appropriate controls to protect the safety and quiet enjoyment of the area. Such housing is intended to broaden and increase the variety of housing available in the community and aid in achieving the overall urban density. (i) UGA, ~^,~,-'~^; :~-.^. tea, unincorporated (County jurisdiction) - 1 unit per 5 acres (gross density) / Yelm will propose development regulations to assure coordination and steps to aid in accomplishing the goals of this plan within the unincorporated urban area. Pursuant to County- Wide Planning Policies, the County will adopt coordinated regulations. (ii) City of Yelm , / 4 units per acre - no minimum density (3 units/acre is the expected rg oss density) (net density of 5.8 units/acre is currently beino achieved) / 6 units per acre (including mobile home parks and subdivisions) - 3 units per acre is minimum density (5 unitslacre is the expected rg oss density) / Non-Sewered Overlay (all City lands where sewer is not yet available) - 1 unit per 5 acres until sewer service is approved through an approved sewer facilities plan designating the long- term disposal site, then underlying zone. Any development within the Non-Sewered Overlay shall be consistent with CWPP 2.1 (e) as further defined through development regulations. (iii) Apartment / Medium Density Apartment - 10 units per 1 acre ross densit / High Density Apartment - 20 units per 1 acre (gross density), 15 acre minimum lot size (iv) Mixed Use (Planned Developments) in Residential Areas Mixed use developments are used for larger parcels to provide a variety of uses, more efficient use of open space, and public facilities. Mixed use proposals must accomplish not less than 75% of the underlying density for a property and not more than 125% of the planned maximum density for the property. Mixed use developments must be able to screen or buffer impacts of non- residential uses from existing or potential residential developments, III - 2 and contain all open space and recreation areas within the site. The minimum acreage for a mixed use development shall be 40 acres. Mixed use developments may have 5% of the gross area in neighborhood commercial - no use is to be larger than 5,000 square feet, 25% of the net land area in medium density or high density apartments, and 25% of the gross land area in open space, with not less than 5 acres of improved park space dedicated to the City. Development standards should be created to encourage mixed-use subdivisions. The "mixed use" alternative must be processed as a project and applies only to eligible properties. b. The Environmentallv Sensitive Area (ESAZ category arepertains to properties that are in the teFlg-term urban rg owth area but presently in agricultural use and affected by critical lands with environmental limitations. ^ '~^-' '^ °1 ~+ ' ~' ~ '~~ c. Commercial Yelm has identfied three levels of commercial categories to meet community needs: Neighborhood Service/Professional Office, General Retail/Commercial Core, and a Commercial Service district (larger and more intensive commercial uses, including auto and machine oriented, modular housing, and recreational sales, service, and repair. d. I ndustrial/W arehouse Yelm has identified two industrial categories which are on major transportation routes, near existing utilities, and capable of being buffered for other needed development to avoid undue impact on the community. The two categories are to serve community needs: warehouse, assembly, and distribution; and manufacturing/industrial, focusing on the production of goods, utilities, or services. The former are more appropriate on the perimeter of the industrial area, the latter designed to be included in the industrial core. The County will consider rezoning the industrial- designated area to a light industrial zone, Chapter 20.28 Thurston County Code, prior to annexation. e. Public Institutional/Open Space Yelm has identified two land use designations or categories which reflect public ownership of the land or land permanently set aside as dedicated open space or critical areas. Public purpose lands which are presently identified are shown on the Future Land Use Map, Map #3. C.* Changing the Land Use Map 1. The purpose of the Joint Plan is to identify land uses within the UGAr~afl-Grewth Area. The land use designations shown on the Future Land Use Map (Map #3) in the unincorporated area will not take effect until annexation and inclusion within a sewer discharge permit area. Those land uses within the City shall take III-3 effect upon approval for inclusion within a sewer discharge area. If the land use designations are to be changed from the map, such changes should take place in the context of the Comprehensive Plan review. 2. To promote coordinated development, any land use approved in this Joint Plan will not be unilaterally changed by either the City or the County for three years from the date of this plan without written approval from the other jurisdiction. f Th DI C h h I 'I .1 '1 h' 4" h .I' .1 ' C C rJ a ~ '~ Th h .I.. ! ..Ihe '~L+..I .,'Ih 4L.o r.l'n'oc ..f the l .:Ih'n L.... ..

Proper regulations need to ~edeveleped-taassure that such a program is not counterproductive to urban goals and objectives of this plan. The City and County will--ceasideFhave established acounty-wide Transfer of Development Rights program, in which some portion of the density range within the low-density residential designation is achievable through the purchase of transferred development III - 4 E * Transfer of Development Rights Program rights rather than allowed outright. The objective of a county-wide Transfer of Development Rights program is to support conservation of important natural and/or cultural resources (e.g. long-term agricultural lands, historic properties, or significant wildlife habitat). F.' The Planning Sub-Areas =City of Yelm and UGA Land Needs Assessment The community is divided into four sub-areas to permit the identification of logical service areas and the development and monitoring of the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan.

The goal of the City of Yelm is to establish a baseline for evaluating the growth of the community and to assure that adequate facilities are available to serve the needs of the community: 81- The housing element considers population and income characteristics; housing characteristics, including the condition of the existing housing stock; housing problems; and strategies. It then sets forth the goals and policies that will be used to encourage the provision of affordable housing in the City of Yelm. The capacity utilities and planned densities within the UGA provide ample opportunity to meet housing needs above the median incomes levels. Growth Management Act Requirements The Growth Management Act requires Yelm to meet the relevant planning goals in the Act. The relevant goal for housing elements is Goal 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." This housing element contains a number of goals and policies designed to encourage the availability of affordable housing, promote variety in housing, and encourage the preservation of existing housing. &1 Waaning-....CeunsiF-(TRPS)--Additwnat--informaEiew-was~btained--from-EFie...tar-',a-~~^ ~uwev Population estimates for the Yelm b~UGA~ were obtained from the TRPC and ,the 9-g9E) 2000 census9ata was~ore ~~r~intormaEien, In many of the tables, data is shown for both Yelm and either Thurston County overall or unincorporated Thurston County. This information is provided only for purposes of comparing the Yelm data with other local data. IV-1 2. County-Wide Planning Policies The City and County will institute measures to encourage the availability of affordable housing for all incomes and needs and ensure that each community includes a fair share of housing for all economic segments of the population by: 7.1 Establishing a process to accomplish a fair share distribution of affordable housing among the jurisdictions. 7.2 Working with the private sector, Housing Authority, neighborhood groups, and other affected citizens to facilitate the development of attractive, quality low and moderate income housing that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and located with easy access to public transportation, commercial areas and employment centers. 7.3 Accommodating low and moderate income housing throughout each jurisdiction rather than isolated in certain areas. 7.4 Exploring ways to reduce the costs of housing. 7.5 Examining and modifying current policies that provide barriers to affordable housing. 7.6 Encouraging a range of housing types and costs commensurate with the employment base and income levels of their populations, particularly for low, moderate and fixed income families. 7.7 When possible, provide assistance in obtaining funding and/or technical assistance for the expansion or establishment of low cost affordable housing for low, moderate and fixed income individuals and families. This housing element was written to be consistent with the County-Wide Planning Policies. B.* Inventory and Analysis Population and Demographics a. Population The population of Yelm has grown irregularly over the last 60* 75 years. As shown in Figure-Table 1 below, the largest increases occurred during the '~" P'"'° 1990's, ~•%~~^ more than doubling e~the population. Population increased by 35% between 2000 and 2005. It is anticipated this growth rate will continue over the next 20 to 25 years. The 1970's increase is attributed to a program of the federal Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) to provide low-cost loans for low-income families relocating to rural communities. Growth since 1990 floe ^°.a~, s`.~~~-~•~ar~ has been high, in part due to people searching for more IV-2 affordable housing and the general pattern of population increase for Thurston County. Southern Pierce County, directly across the Nisqually River, is also growing rapidly and Yelm is seeing spillover growth from Pierce County.

Household Characteristics The table below shows the types and sizes of households within the City. It is anticipated that the average household size will continue to drop due to lower birth rates, increased longevity of elderly persons, and a trend toward later marriage. It should eventually drop close to the rates for the larger metropolitan area (Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater). Since more housing is needed in general to support anticipated growth, the amount of actual housing will be even greater, since fewer people will live in each dwelling unit. c. Special Needs Population The goal of the community is to provide an opportunity to meet special needs population requirements within the incorporated growth area. Yelm's principal special needs population is the low income elderly. As the City grows the variety of special needs will increase. It is the policy of the City and Thurston County to provide, in all housing designations, provisions for housing for special populations, including group homes. The City will adopt standards and criteria which assure within the community, facilities which provide access, affordability, and choice, and which promote and protect residential neighborhood needs for quiet enjoyment and safety.

Source: Census 2000. 2. Income and Affordability a. Introduction A several-step process was used to determine the availability of affordable housing in this section. First, the household income for Yelm was determined and divided into federally-defined poverty categories. Second, information on households spending more than 30% of their income for housing, using standard census bureau income ranges, was determined for both renters and owners. Finally, the resulting information was converted into the federally-defined poverty categories. This resulted in information on Yelm households that spend more than 30% of their income on housing, in each of the federal poverty categories. b. Household Income IV-6 The household income ranges in dollars for Yelm and unincorporated Thurston County F1-990) 1999 and the number of households within each range are shown in €igure-3-Table 6 below. For purposes of this housing element, the federal poverty categories for income are used. These categories vary by community, depending on the median income within the particular community. This often requires converting census data into data that can be used within the federal poverty categories, and may mean the numbers are estimated. For Thurston County, the median income in 1999 was $30;976 46 975 The federal poverty categories and income for Thurston County, in 4990-1999 dollars, are: Extremely low income households - making less than 30% of county median income ($0 - $9,239 14 093) Very low income households -making between 30% and 50% of county median income ($9,240---$448 8$14,094-$23 488) Low income households -making between 51 % and 80% of county median income ($4489-$2481$23,489-$37 580) Moderate income households -making between 81 % and 95% of county median income (Q'^,'4~~-$°~9-,^ 2?$24,782-$44 626) Xeln~ 1~PJ{ N b R P1C-GeuFtty em er erseat fJarx+ 6essthan-$5;800 34 ~-4 ~4g ber Rereent 2 q-g $5;000--$999 79 4~2 477 8 $10;000-$14,-999 68 44-8 X15 9 633 $45;009--$24;898 98 24 6 41$5 -1 49-4 $25;908-$34,999 ~0 45~ 410 6 4~8 $3580-$49,999 80 47-4 420 6 28>8 ever-$58-;909 28 6 3 4'~ 22-1 Table 6 Household Income for Citv of Yelm and Thurston County (total) 2000 Income in 1999 Yelm Thurston Counri Number Percent Number Percent Households 1206 100.0 81.666 100.0 Less than $10 000 122 10.1 5 422 6_6 $10,000 - $14.999 100 8_3 4251 5_2 $15,000 - $24 999 147 12.2 9099 11.1 IV-7 $25.000 - $34,999 150 12.4 10,417 12.8 $35,000 - $49,999 253 21.0 14.501 17.8 $50,000 - $74,999 300 24.9 19,489 23.9 $75,000 - $99,999 82 6.8 9.655 11.8 $100,000 - $149,999 40 3_3 6~ 7_9 $150,000 - $199,999 9 0_7 1 160 1_4 $200,000 or more 3 0_2 1 242 1.5 Median Household Income (Dollars) 39,453 ~ 46 975 (X~ Source: Census 2000. c.

Analysis Yelm's UGAN~-#ea is expected to grow substantially during the next 20 to 25 years, and household size to continue to decrease.-tu~~-fe-N-ie-eeuBtl These two factors point to a continuing demand for affordable housing. Although housing costs are less expensive than in many other Thurston County jurisdictions, average income is also lower. As Figilre-Table 7t3 and S illusVates, there is an existing need for affordable housing that is expected to increase proportionate to the population. Based on a review of T8902000 data, adequate single-family housing is likely to be available. While multi-family units are being constructed, there is likely a need for more multi- family housing that will be occupied by an agino gooulation by single persons and by those who marry later in life. The adopted Land Use Plan provides for a variety of additional housing types and ::,c:eas°~'".e-multi-family zoned property income is also lower.

Introduction This section discusses the number of affordable housing units within each income category that will be needed from one forecast period to the next. These figures are based upon the population forecast approved by the Urban Growth Management Committee of Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC) in 1993. Since Yelm is required to plan for the growth anticipated within the UGA, the estimates are for the entire Yelm UGA) rather than far the current City limits. The estimates are shown in €igure~~Table 13 below: IV-16 Table 13 Year Need ex low Need very low Need low Need moderate TOTAL 91-92 22 17 18 6 63 93-95 18 14 15 5 52 96-2000 24 16 17 5 62 2001-05 16 12 13 4 45 2006-10 19 15 16 5 55 2011-15 22 17 17 6 62 TOTAL: 339 and-Forecast-Peried for'~~.^~. ~-LJWan-6rewthArea{!1>;•A~. 2.

In neighborhoods a variety of housing types and densities are encouraged to enable adequate sewer and water facilities at IV-17 Strategies for Housing to Meet Year291-5- 2026 and 2030 Need reasonable prices. This is key to accommodating a variety of densities at affordable prices. The City focus under this plan is to assure that such facilities are planned for and available to meet growth demands which reflect the changing population needs. Housing patterns will be monitored to assure that the City is continuing to meet its required housing needs. Adjustments will be made throughout Yelm and the Yelm UGAr~ian--frewth-Area during periodic revisions to the Plan where monitoring shows aSub-Area need for change to assure that required housing needs continue to be met. Encourage Diversity of Housing Types to Offer Choice and Affordability Diversity in housing types and location will help to increase housing choices This will help meet the changing housing requirements associated with a Provide Housing Choice In Transportation Efficient Areas Meeting housing needs especially for low income and elderly means expanding housing opportunities near essential services and accessible transportation. This allows households an opportunity to choose to own fewer cars Studies show IV-18 Maintain Existing Older Housing Stock XII. ENVIRONMENT Introduction The Environmental Chapter focuses on the City of Yelm's commitment to protect and enhance the quality of the natural and built environments. As increased residential and commercial development intensifies in Yelm, the protection of the natural environment becomes more of a challenge. The intent of this chapter, and the goals and policies it contains, is to guide the formation of regulations and future actions that will protect and enhance the natural environment. Growth Management Act and County-Wide Planning Policies The Environmental Chapter is intended to meet the objectives of the State Growth Management Act (GMA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), County-Wide Planning Policies and other federal and state policies and regulations. The GMA contains specific requirements for the designation and protection of "critical areas," defined by the GMA as wetlands, areas with recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, frequently flooded areas, and geologically hazardous areas. In addition, the GMA requires the adoption of development regulations that protect critical areas (RCW 36.70A.060) and the inclusion of the best available science in developing policies and development regulations to protect the functions and values of critical areas (RCW 36.70A.172). Development of this chapter is based on the same premise adopted in the Thurston County County-Wide Planning Policies, Chapter IX, Environmental Quality. A~ist-ef~he A;~M-1^....~.:ed ~^rE h~.rro.~-v. rte. Natural Environment Goals and Policies The City of Yelm recognizes that the natural environment is important for the following reasons: / It provides habitat for wildlife and plant I'rfe; / It creates a positive visual image and open space; / It provides opportunities for recreation; / It is part of the City's surface water management system and water supply; and / It is cost effective public policy. XII-1 The merits and costs of environmental actions must be weighed and balanced against other important demands, such as public safety and recreation, housing, public infrastructure, and economic development. Land use and development practices need to be compatible with the variety of environmental conditions. As a general rule, the City should protect the natural environment rather than try to overcome its limitations for development. Goal EG 1 Protect the natural environment and preserve environmentally sensitive areas. EG 2 Promote quality building and development that is compatible with the surrounding environment. Policies EP 1 The City should work with adjacent jurisdictions, state, federal, and regional agencies to protect sensitive areas and the City's natural environment. EP 2 Protect and restore environmental quality through land use plans, surface water management plans and programs, comprehensive park plans, and development review. EP 3 Develop regulations and programs that encourage well-designed land use patterns such as clustering, low impact development, and planned unit development. Use these types of land use patterns to concentrate higher urban land use densities and intensity of uses in areas with environmentally sensitive features. Water Resources Yelm has several shorelines and abutting floodplains in or adjacent to the urban area, including Yelm Creek, Thompson Creek, the Centralia Power Canal, and the Nisqually River. The Nisqually River is host to a number of fish species and runs, which are dependent upon the water quality of the River and its tributary and riparian (stream side) areas. Yelm also has several wetland areas (shown on the critical areas maps), which form the headwaters of the two Creeks, and are indicative of the groundwater levels and proximity to the surface. Additionally, Yelm has an unprotected aquifer which underlies most of the urban area. The City's wells, and many private wells, use the aquifer for water supply. The water quality in the urban area is important for both public and environmental health reasons, and it is the policy of the City to provide methods and incentives for ongoing protection and enhancement within the urban area. XII-2 Speck policies or programs shall be used to accomplish the necessary protection Aquifer Recharge Areas (Groundwater) The aquifer recharge area in Yelm covers the entire City. These areas are characterized by highly pervious glacial soils which drain rapidly into the underlying water table. These areas are class'rfied primarily as Category 1, extremely sensitive with small pockets of Category 2, highly sensitive in the southwestern portion of the city. Typical activities associated with land development, such as clearing and grading and stormwater management, affect the natural hydrologic cycle. All of these activities decrease the land's ability to absorb and retain water and increases the possibility of contamination. Goals EG 3 Protect the quality, and manage the quantity of groundwater for all uses in the present and the future. EG 4 Encourage measures that improve surface water management. Policies EP 4 Where feasible, development within the urban area should be on sewers with areuse/recycling discharge to reduce the potential for contamination of the aqu'rfer and the abutting surface streams. EP 5 stormwater policies should require Veatment of stormwater on site using swales, ponds, and other detention and conveyance facilities, together with, or in combination with, biofiltration prior to discharge to either groundwater or surface water to minimize or eliminate contaminants from the stormwater. EP 6 Implementation of the policies and programs of the sewer and water comprehensive plans. EP 7 The City of Yelm shall seek to prevent groundwater contamination by protecting the entire resource as effectively as possible, but within the limits of what is acceptable and affordable to the community. EP 8 The City of Yelm shall strive to assure that preventive actions are taken to protect water quality from further degradation and that the City, in cooperation with the Department of Ecology, will promote corrective actions in areas where degradation has occurred so that the net effect is a gradual improvement of the ground and surface water quality. XII-3 Wellhead Protection Areas Because the City relies on groundwater for its drinking water, it must take preventative measures to avoid contamination in areas surrounding well sites. The City of Yelm Wellhead Protection Plan, developed by Robinson & Noble, Inc, 2001, focuses on three primary areas: A hydrologic evaluation of the aquifers used by the City, and the delineation of wellhead protection areas (WHPAs) for each of the City's production wells, An inventory of potentially hazardous materials inside the delineated W HPAs, and The development of management, spill response, and contingency plans. Goals EG 5 Implement a wellhead protection program to ensure a safe source of drinking water and to avoid the large financial impact of contaminated wells. Policies EP 9 The City shall utilize a wellhead protection program based upon best available science. EP 10 Legislation shall be maintained, and updated as necessary, regulating land uses within wellhead protection zones 1 - 3. EP 11 The City of Yelm shall strive to prevent contamination of drinking water supplies and to develop contingency plans to provide additional sources, should an existing source becomes unusable. Wetlands and Streams Wetlands are a valuable natural resource. They receive surface water from surrounding areas and filter pollutants entering the system. By storing floodwaters, wetlands reduce flooding and downstream erosion; trap and absorb sediments; and help protect water quality. Wetlands discharge water to aquifers and streams and help replenish groundwater. The City of Yelm is located within the Nisqually drainage basin. There are two streams that run through the city, Yelm Creek and Thompson Creek. Over the years, both Yelm Creek and Thompson Creek have experienced ecological degradation from the loss of shade trees, invasion of plant species like reed canary grass and nightshade, and repetitive dredging. XII-4 Goals EG 6 Achieve no net loss of wetlands and increase the quality of Yelm's wetland resources through the application of best available science. EG 7 Protect, restore, and enhance the City's streams. Policies EP 12 Construction sites shall be required to demonstrate construction period stormwater protection to prevent turbidity and siltation for affecting surface waters in the area. EP 13 Wetlands, streams, and their associated buffers shall not be used for construction purposes, except where necessary for stormwater control and utility and transportation connections. Where such control or connections are permitted, regulations must identify steps to assure no degradation to ground or surface water. EP 14 Update and utilize Yelm's wetland protection le^~reaulations to ensure protection of Yelm's wetland resources through use of techniques considered to be best available science in accordance with adopted laws. eerr+ders F I C C' I. .1 U/'Lil't C .l F '~' of ,olln nrl EP 15~ Wetlands, rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes should be viewed as systems and not as isolated units. EP 166 The valuable natural functions of wetlands and stream corridors, such as habitat and water quality, should be protected by maintaining an undisturbed or restored native vegetated buffer and by prohibiting filling, draining, and clearing within wetlands and adjacent fish bearing streams and their buffers. Physical alterations should be minimized except where restoring the natural functions. EP 178 The City may regulate private development and public actions to protect water quality and to ensure adequate in-stream flow to protect fisheries, wildlife habitat, and recreation resources. EP 1828 Retain existing open surface water systems in a natural state and rehabilitate degraded conditions. XII-5 EP 192-1• Restrict the runoff rate and quality to predevelopment levels for all new development and redevelopment. Shorelines The City of Yelm adopted the Thurston County Shoreline Master Program to implement the state's Shoreline Management Act. While Yelm Creek is designated as a shoreline of the state, it is questionable 'rf the creek sustains the minimum flow requirements of more than twenty cubic feet per second, RCW 90.58. Also, the Centralia Power Canal was not identified in the Shoreline Master Program as a shoreline of the state, but flows clearly exceed the minimum flow requirements and it should be designated as a shoreline of the state with the appropriate land use designation in the urban area consistent with urban densities. Policies EP 202 The Conservancy shoreline designation, as identified in the Shoreline Master Program for the Thurston Region, should be retained along the Nisqually River and its jurisdictional wetlands. EP 213 Yelm Creek should be monitored to determine minimum flow. If supported by the flow data, the Shoreline Master Program should be amended to delete Yelm Creek's mapped designation as it is not a regulated shoreline under State guidelines. EP 224 The Centralia Power Canal should be added as an urban shoreline on the south side and a rural shoreline on the north side. EP 235 The Nisqually River Management Plan identifies policies and programs for the protection of the Nisqually Basin. The Management Plan policies are to be considered in adopting development regulations for the community. Frequently Flooded Areas Development in flood plains reduces the storage capacity and increases the amount of runoff. Increased runoff overtaxes both natural and man-made conveyance systems and leads to damage of public and private property. Over the last five years, the City of Yelm has collected substantial information on Yelm Creek and it's floodplain. The Federal Emergency Management Agency conducted a Yelm Creek Study and issued a new Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) in June of 1999. A Yelm Creek Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan was adopted in July of 2001. Both products incorporated the use of best available science. Goals EG 8 Prevent the loss of life and property in frequently flooded areas. XII-6 Policies EP 246 The City adopts the FEMA flood hazard maps for reference purposes and any development in a flood plain must be consistent with FEMA guidelines, and such additional regulations as adopted by the City. Filling floodplains is discouraged unless necessary to meet a public purpose. No development should be allowed in any floodway. EP 2~5 Regulations of these lands should promote efficient use of the land and water resources by allocating frequently flooded areas to the uses for which they are best suited, and to discourage obstructions to flood-flows or uses which pollute or deteriorate natural waters and water courses. EP 266 Life and property should be protected from flood hazards, and the flood storage and transmission capacity of rivers and streams should be retained. EP 279 Protect natural flood storage and conveyance through the development and implementation of plans and regulations that reduce flood impacts. Geologic and Volcanic Hazard Zones Yelm has a few areas identified as steep slopes and volcanic hazards, which occur along portions of the Centralia Power Canal and Yelm Creek (see Critical Areas Map #56). The City will need to develop guidelines for specific geologic issues. Goal EG 9 To designate and regulate development on lands having identfied geologic hazards to protect the health and safety of persons and property, and to avoid other adverse impacts of erosion, landslide, and other geologic hazards. Policies EP 2868 Develop implementing legislation, based upon best available science, with specific requirements for analysis of geologically sensitive areas and application of speck development standards to prevent erosion and landslide hazard. EP 293 The City will continue to gather and review seismic hazard data for the area to better assess specific seismic hazard areas (those areas more sensitive than others because of geological parameters). The City will consider development of additional requirements associated with Uniform Building Code review for buildings in Yelm's most sensitive earthquake hazard areas. XII-7 Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas Yelm does not have identified priority habitats and species within the UGArttan-6revRh Area, but is on land near the Nisqually River which provides important habitat and wildlife areas, in addition to the scattered locations of oak habitat (see Critical Areas Map #45). Shoreline and development regulations, and project-level SEPA reviews shall be used to assure that development within the UGArt~~rr Grewth-Area does not adversely affect abutting wildlife and fish habitat outside the urban area. Inside the urban area, development regulations should provide incentives for wetland and habitat enhancement. Yelm Creek and Thompson Creek provide opportunities for such enhancement within the UGA,~^~„-or9v~;;-.^. z. Wetland and wildlife enhancement should not extend beyond the specified wetland buffer, however, if to do so would reduce densities below those specified in the development regulations. It is important that Yelm obtain and promote urban densities in the urban areas to reduce development pressure outside the urban areas. Any development directly affecting the Nisqually River shall be reviewed for consistency with applicable State, County, and other habitat management programs. Urban landscapes are valuable supplements to natural areas in providing habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. The loss of natural wildlife habitat to urban development can be partially offset by landscaping that includes a variety of native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Native plants are generally well adapted to the soils and climate of the area and many species can flourish without much watering or fertilization. Goals EG 10 Preserve, protect, and enhance fish and wildlife habitat. EG 11 Provide fish and wildlife habitat of sufficient diversity and abundance to sustain existing indigenous wildlife populations. Policies EP 302 The city should preserve and enhance native vegetation in riparian habitat, and wherever possible. EP 313 The City should manage aquatic and riparian (stream side) habitat in a way that minimizes its alteration in order to preserve and enhance its ability to sustain fish and wildlife. EP 324 The City should encourage residents and businesses to use native plants in residential and commercial landscaping. XII-8 Air Quality Air quality is an increasing problem in the Pacific Northwest. Numerous federal, state, and regional agencies enact and enforce legislation to protect air quality. Locally air pollution sources are from: motor vehicles, indoor and outdoor burning, industrial operations, and land clearing and grading. Goal EG 12 Protect air quality. Policies EP 336 Support state and federal air quality standards and the regulation of activities that emit air pollutants. EP 346 Encourage transportation demand management and commute trip reduction in order to reduce energy consumption and air pollution. Noise Noise pollution can be harmful to the general public's health and welfare. Noise is primarily generated by: industrial uses, vehicle traffic, and construction activities. Goal EG 13 Control the level of noise pollution in a manner that promotes the use, value, and enjoyment of property in an urban environment. Policy EP 35~ Use state standards to ensure that excessive noise does not impair the permitted land use activities in residential, commercial, and industrial land use districts. XII-9 XIV.

The need of the community to provide adequate public service and to protect the peace and quiet enjoyment of private property is a fundamental policy of this Comprehensive Plan. Private property shall not be taken for public purpose without due process and just compensation where required. B.* Permits The policy of the City of Yelm and Thurston County is to process permits in a timely and efficient manner in order to foster the goals of this Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan. Development regulations will be integrated and coordinated to achieve this purpose. C * Citizen Participation The City of Yelm and Thurston County support the Growth Management Act policies to encourage and promote citizen participation within the UGArt~~ea. Development regulations should provide for ample notice and opportunity to participate in key stages of the planning and development process. D. Growth Management Act Planning Yelm is a small community and without resources to fully articulate all GMA goals and objectives into this Plan. Small cities and towns are authorized to use an abbreviated process, which Yelm has elected to do. Yelm is committed to continued review and improvement of its Comprehensive Plan and development regulations, as resources are available. E.~ Comprehensive Plan Amendment The Comprehensive Plan is to be amended no more than once any calendar year, except in emergencies. Development regulations will identify an annual calendar to facilitate the review and amendment process. The City plans for annual review will be consistent with the policies of Thurston County for amendment of the County's Comprehensive Plan.

Conformance -The degree to which all plans within the UGArt~~~fewt#-Area, including plans of other municipal corporations or state agencies comply with and/or promote the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan. Where inconsistent goals cannot be met by a single plan, consistency shall be measured by the degree to which the overall goals and objectives are met by the proposed action. 2. Consistency -The degree to which a project or development accomplishes the goals and objectives of this Comprehensive Plan. Some goals are mutually exclusive or incompatible as applied to a speck project. In the event of conflict, consistency is measured by the degree to which the overall goals and objectives of the Plan are met by the project. 3. Concurrency -The availability of adequate facilities to meet the public needs imposed on the UGArkar~-6rewtt~-fuea by any proposal requiring a permit or approval by the City or County. All projects shall be reviewed to determine that parks, schools, fire, sewer, water, and transportation will be available or are to be planned and funded within six years of the date of the project approval. Development regulations shall identify levels of service and the plans of implementing the Concurrency requirement. XIV-2 EXHIBIT B* Population Projections S years. B-1 MEMORANDUM TO: Thurston Regional Planning Council FROM: Veena Tabbutt, Senior Planner DATE: June 30, 2005 SUBJECT: Population Forecast Small Area Allocations PURPOSE Approve Population Forecast Small Area Allocations. Staff has prepared new Population Forecast Small Area Allocations These allocations are based on the Regional Population and Employment Forecast approved by the Council in November 2004. The allocations have been reviewed by the Forecast Advisory Committee, which consists of staff members for all jurisdictions in Thurston County, members from various planning commissions, representatives from the Transportation Advisory Board and Technical Advisory Committee, and representatives from local organizations including the commercial and residential building community, and the environmental community. These allocations will be used for transportation, sewer, water, land use, school, and other local government planning purposes. The final phase in the Forecast Allocations will be the Employment Forecast Small Area Allocations B-2 TRPC develops updated population and employment forecasts every three to five years. These forecasts are used for transportation, sewer, water, land use, school, and other local governmental planning purposes. They are also used by the private sector for business planning. TRPC has been preparing these forecasts periodically since the late 1960s. We are in the midst of another update. On November 5"' the Thurston Regional Planning Council adopted the County-Wide Population and Employment Forecast. Given the forecast of future population county-wide, it must be decided where the growth will go based on the adopted plans and policies of the local cities, towns, and the county. County-wide figures are allocated to the planning area level using a large database of developable lands, development trends, and zoning densities. Only then can planning for streets, utilities, school sites, park sites, and other public services and facilities take place. ISSUES A key assumption in the Population Forecast Small Area Allocations is that there will be no major change in land use policy for the Thurston County or the cities and towns within Thurston County, the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation or the Nisqually Indian Tribe over the period of the forecast. Policies that are assumed to remain constant are found in the comprehensive plans and related documents from the fall of 2004, and include (but are not limited to): Zoning districts and zoning density calculations (deductions and density ranges) Critical Areas Ordinances • Size and location of urban growth boundaries (annexations are an assumption of the model) • Adopted sewer and water plans In 2005 the population forecast small area allocations could be considered BASELINE allocations if there are major changes in any of the policies outlined above. The BASELINE allocations can then be used to evaluate the effects of any major changes in policy that have occurred in 2005, or may occur in the future. REQUESTED ACTION: After reviewing the attachments, approve Population Forecast Small Area Allocations as BASELINE allocations. 70:Ib Attachments B-3 Table 1: Comparison of new TRPC Population Forecast Small Area Allocations with the previous allocation'.

TRPC traditionally updates population and employment forecasts every 3-5 years, and released the most recent small area (city and rural) populations forecasts in July of 2005. The latest release was prior to the proposal of the Thurston Highlands master planned wmmunity in Yelm, which may include 5,000 to 6,000 new dwelling units. The buildout of this development may exceed the time range of the 2030 forecast. TRPC will continue to monitor residential and commercial development activity and any proposed changes in Thurston County's rural zoning or the size of the Urban Growth Areas, and anticipates updating the small area (city and rural) populations forecasts in 2007. B-4 SUMMARY OF THE NEW ALLOCATIONS Lacey 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Population: Growfh: 106,700 2.0% Within Lacey, initially some growth is likely to shift to what are now the unincorporated urban growth areas (UGAs) as the city becomes developed. Then, as available land supply decreases, Lacey will continue to grow, but it will likely see a decline in share of county-wide growth. Using the buildout" factor, the shift in growth is likely to occur by 2015. Toward the end of the forecast period the growth share in all urban areas, including Lacey, is likely to increase as the demand for multifamily homes increases. This may result in redevelopment in the older nei hborhoods and mixed-use districts. Olympia 6 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Population: Growth: 82,200 1.7% Trends in Olympia are very similar to Lacey. Within Olympia, initially some growth is likely to shift to the unincorporated UGAs as the city becomes developed. Then, as available land supply decreases, Olympia will also see a decline in share of county-wide growth. Using the buildout factor, the shift in growth is likely to occur by 2015. Toward the end of the forecast period the growth share in all urban areas is likely to increase as the demand for multifamily homes increases. This may cause redevelopment in the older neighborhoods and mixed-use districts. Tumwater 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Population: Growth: 41,600 2.7% Tumwater is likely to be the recipient of increased growth shares as the supply of available land is reduced in Lacey and Olympia. This shift in growth will likely begin to occur around 2015, and continue to the end of the forecast period. Most of the increased growth share will be located in what are now the uninco orated urban rowth areas. " A buildout factor of 25 percent is applied as an indicator of when to shift growth shares. This factor is calculated by dividing demand by supply. It makes the assumption that in any given forecast interval (5 years) only 25 percent of the total capacity will be available for sale and development. As the total inventory of land or capacity decreases and prices rise, harder to develop lots, partially developed lots, and redevelopment opportunities will be available. The buildout factor will be calibrated for housing type (by zoning district) at the beginning of each forecast period so as to not art'rficially create a scarcity of capacity in one type of dwelling unit and a surplus in another. B-5 Bucoda 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 800 1.0% Bucoda is likely to see only a modest amount of growth. Growth shares may begin to increase in the latter years of the forecast if sewer service becomes available. Rainier 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 2,740 2.4% Historically, Rainier has experienced moderate growth, more than Bucoda and Tenino. It is likely that the growth share in Rainier will remain relatively constant until sewer service becomes available to the ci and UGA. Tenino 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 3,580 2.6% Historically, Tenino has experienced very little growth. It is likely that the growth share in Tenino will increase when sewer service becomes available to the ci and UGA. Ye/m 8 UGA 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 11,480 3.0% Historically, Yelm has been one of the fastest growing communities in Thurston County. It is likely that this trend will continue with growth in commuting, increased accessibility to Yelm, and a large supply of land for residential rowth. Grand Mound UGA 2030 Rafe of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 1,000 0.7% Grand Mound is not likely to see much residential growth. The area is main) desi Hated for commercial and industrial uses. Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation (Thurston County portion only) 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 170 7.2% The reservation bisects lwo counties with most of the population residing in the Gray's Harbor County portion. The Tribe expects to see residential growth in the Thurston County portion. This will likely occur as utilities are available. B-6 Nis wall Reservation Thurston Count ortion onl 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 940 2.0% The Tribe anticipates a need for 100 homes. The forecast assumes this need will be met by around 2015, after which the rate of growth will continue to the end of the forecast eriod. Rural coun 2030 Rate of Trends: Po ulation: Growth: 122,000 2.1% Overall it is likely that there will be a shift in growth shares from the rural county to the urban areas, so that the split between urban and rural will be around 70 percent urban growth and 30 percent rural growth by the end of the forecast period. This is mainly due to an increasing demand for multifamily housing, which predominately locates in urban areas. Using the buildout factor, the north county rural areas have less available land than those to the south, so it is anticipated that there will be a steady shift of rural growth to the south county until the available land supply is fairly even between the two areas. Rural areas will begin to feel full (the buildout factor will be approached) by 2015, with the exception of the southcentral regions of the county where some land will remain available. Overall, the buildout factors in the rural county do not indicate a shift in growth shares of single- family homes to the urban areas. The rural county will continue to receive the ma'ori of new manufactured homes. Lacey &UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 94,600 99,900 With the growth in commuters to Pierce County, Lacey is expected to experience rapid growth. In addition, residential densities in Lacey tend to be higher than comparable zoning districts in Tumwater and Olympia, therefore the capacities are slightly higher than modeled in the revious forecast. Olympia 8 UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 79,100 77,900 The forecasts are uite similar. B-7 Tumwater 8 UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 38,100 37,100 The forecasts are quite similar. Bucoda 8 UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 640 760 Bucoda now has an UGA so the new forecast includes a larger physical area. Rainier 8 UGA Old New Notes Fwecasf Forecast 2025 2025 2,315 2,510 Rainier may see slightly higher growth with the addition of a sewer s stem. Tenino 8 UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 1,945 3,280 Tenino will likely experience higher growth with the addition of a sewer s stem. The new forecast is more consistent with the 1996 forecast. Ye/m B UGA Old New Notes Fwecasf Forecast 2025 2025 11,375 10,330 Yelm will likely still experience rapid growth, at a slightly lower rate than was forecast previously. The growth rate in Yelm has abated somewhat after the initial pent up demand for growth was met after the sewer was ut into lace. Grand M ound UGA Old New Notes Forecast Forecast 2025 2025 2,075 970 2000 population estimates for the Grand Mound UGA were revised, leading to a lower forecast. There does not appear to be much capacity for residential growth in the UGA, but there is quite a lot of rowth oin into the Rochester rural sub-area.
