18.10.010 Intent and general provisions.

The intent of this chapter is to establish procedures for implementing the provisions of Chapter 36.70A RCW regarding compliance, conformity, and consistency of proposed projects with adopted comprehensive plans and development regulations. This chapter is enacted pursuant to the Washington state legislature requirements under the Regulatory Reform Act and Chapters 36.70A, 36.70B, 36.70C, 43.21C, and 58.17 RCW.

Unless otherwise indicated in this chapter, the applicant shall be responsible for the initiation, preparation, submission, and expense of all required reports, assessments, studies, plans, reconnaissance, peer review by qualified consultants, and other work prepared in support of or necessary to review the application.

In the interpretation and application of this chapter, the provisions of this chapter shall be considered to be the minimum requirements necessary, shall be liberally construed to serve the purpose of this chapter, and shall be deemed to neither limit nor repeal any other provisions under state statute. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.020 Site plan review committee.

The site plan review committee shall be comprised of the community development director, the public works director, and other members as appointed by the city administrator or his/her designee. The site plan review committee reviews all applications for land development to ensure compliance with all city development regulations. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.030 Application and interpretation.

A. Application. This chapter describes how the city will concurrently process applications for development subject to review under the Unified Development Code, this title.

B. Interpretation. The community development director or his/her designee shall review project applications as follows:

1. For consistency with Yelm’s comprehensive plan, the standards of this title, and any adopted development and design guidelines;

2. To identify specific project design and conditions relating to mitigation; and

3. To make decisions on permits based upon the record established at the public hearing, if one is held. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.040 Consent to inspection.

The applicant shall provide sufficient and reasonable access to the property, to enter upon and inspect as reasonably necessary to process the application. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.050 Project categorization.

Once an application is received, the community development department determines the project’s categorization, and shall follow the review process as described below.

A. Ministerial. Projects allowed outright by the underlying zoning district and are of such a scale and character that they do not require public notice or hearings. These projects are subject to clear and objective standards and may require professional technical judgment.

B. Administrative. Projects allowed outright by the underlying zoning district and are of such a scale and character that they may cause impacts to the surrounding neighborhood or to city services that may require mitigation. Administrative projects require public notice, but do not require an open record pre-decision hearing. These projects are subject to objective and subjective standards, about which there may be limited public interest, and which may require discretion about nontechnical issues.

C. Quasi-Judicial. Projects that are of such a scale and character that they may be incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood or to city services that may not be able to be fully mitigated. Quasi-judicial permits require public notice, an open record pre-decision hearing, and allow for a closed record appeal. These projects require substantial discretion, and may have broad public interest.

D. Legislative. Projects that entail the creation of new policies or codes that require significant public input. Legislative projects require an open record pre-decision hearing. These projects have broad public interest. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.060 Determination of completeness.

Within 28 days of receipt of an application, the city shall notify the applicant that the application is complete or what specific information is required to complete the application.

Within 14 days of receipt of additional information from the applicant, the city shall notify the applicant that the application is complete or remains incomplete.

Notices may be sent via electronic mail or first class mail. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.065 Determination of completeness for certain applications.

A. Wireless Communication Facilities. For wireless communication facilities, the city must provide written notice to the applicant within 10 days of receipt of the application, specifically delineating any missing documents or information required in the application. (Ord. 1057 § 1, 2019).

18.10.070 Permit vesting.

A valid and fully complete ministerial, administrative, and quasi-judicial permit application, and/or developer agreement establishes the point of vesting of development rights. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

The notice shall include notification that no public hearing will be held on the application unless requested within 21 days from the date of the notice, and set procedures and time limitations for persons to require a public hearing and make comments.

2. Secure Community Transition Facilities. In addition to the methods listed above, notice shall be provided via first class mail to all property owners of record within 1,000 feet of the subject project’s boundaries.

3. Conceptual and Final Master Site Plans. In addition to the methods listed above, notice shall be provided via first class mail to all property owners of record within 1,000 feet of the subject project’s boundaries. (Ord. 995 § 12 (Exh. A), 2015).

18.10.090 Final decision and notice.

All final decisions shall include procedures for appeal. A final decision may consist of a letter of approval for ministerial projects, or a permit approval or a decision at a hearing for administrative, quasi-judicial, and legislative projects.
