PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a new Administrative Site Plan Review, Environmental
(SEPA) Review, and Street Modification for the construction of a 50,000 square foot lumber and hardware sales building
with outdoor lumber sales and 98 surface parking spaces. A previous Site Plan approval, Environmental (SEPA) Review,
and Street Modification were reviewed and approved on the project site under LUA19-000050 but have since expired.
The project proposal would be constructed across 4 parcels totaling 254,733 square feet (5.85 acres) located within the
Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation and Urban Design District D. Access to the site would be provided via two
existing and two new curb cuts off of East Valley Road. A Category III wetland with a standard 75 -foot buffer has been
identified and delineated along the east and south property boundaries. The applicant is requesting a 25 -foot buffer
reduction with enhancement, which would reduce the buffer to 56.25 feet. A seismic hazard area is also mapped on the
project site. Two existing buildings are proposed to remain, all other buildings would be removed. Of the existing 6 curb
cuts along the project frontage, two are proposed to remain and two would be reconfigured, resulting in a total of 4 curb
cuts. The requested street standards modification would reduce the required sidewalk width to six (6) feet.
