ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project
impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A.Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B.Mitigation Measures
None
C.Exhibits
Exhibit 1:Environmental Review Committee (ERC) Report
Exhibit 2:Site Plan
D.Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1.Transportation
Impacts: No frontage improvements are required due to the proposed work being within an existing
building. The payment of the transportation impact fee would be assessed at the time of building permit
application. A credit for the existing restaurant use will be applied to the final transportation impact fee
assessment. Payment of code required impact fees would adequately mitigate the expected traffic
impacts of the project.
Mitigation Measures: None
Nexus: N/A

have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant.”
