8. New Business
a. Ordinance No. 808 Amending and Updating Title 15 related to the
Building, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Fire, Plumbing, Energy, Ventilation and
Indoor Air Quality and Gas Piping Codes. Mayor Rivas called for the
staff report.
Gary Carlson reported that legislation updating State Building Codes to
the 2003 International Building, Residential, Mechanical, Fire and
Plumbing Codes became effective on July 1. Ordinance 808 brings
Yelm's Municipal Code into compliance and covers some minor house
keeping items reflecting the relationship between Yelm and Fire District
No. 2.
04-56 MOTION B Y DON MILLER, SECONDED BYPAT FETTERLY
ADOPTING ORDINACE 808, MODIFYING TITLE 15 OF THE
YELM MUNICIPAL CODE TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE
WITH THE STATE BUILDING CODES. CARRIED.
b. Ordinance No. 807 Clarifying the Comprehensive Plan Map by
identifying areas within the SW Yelm Annexation Area as being Low -
Density Residential (R -4). Mayor Rivas called for the staff report.
Grant Beck explained that the Master Planned Community (MPC)
zoning designation in the Southwest Yelm Annexation Area doesn't
allow development of any kind by landowners having less than 40 acres.
This restriction applies even if the owners were not an integral part of
Thurston Highlands Associates plan.
Master Planned Community zoning was adopted into Yelm's
Comprehensive Plan in the early 1990s under the Growth Management
Act and readopted in 1996. Since that time the Thurston Highlands
Association master site plan has expired leaving in place zoning
requirements that limit development in that area by requiring approval of
a new master site plan. This requirement remains an appropriate step for
the owners of large properties, but not for owners of smaller property
parcels.
Ordinance No. 807 corrects this limitation by permitting owners of 34
properties ranging from less than one acre to 22 acres to develop as low
density residential (R -4 zoning). The total property involved is
approximately 170 acres.
When asked by Councilmember Fetterly if this action had anything to do
with the speedway, and if a decision could be tabled until a full council
was present, Grant Beck and Shelly Badger responded that this was
unrelated to the speedway. It was also noted that a full council wouldn't
be available until August. When asked, Mr. Hoffman indicated that he

had more than one party interested in the property.

40 ACRES WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST YELM ANNEXATION

DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R -4). MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A
