MEMORANDUM
TO: Street File
FROM: Mike Clugston, AICP
DATE: February 18, 2009
SUBJECT: Staff Administrative Design Review for BLD-2009-0086
As part of the Citys review of the building permit referenced above, design review was required
under ECDC 20.10. Because the addition of the exterior mechanical unit enclosure did not
exceed the threshold requiring review by the Architectural Design Board (ADB), staff completed
the design review with the building permit application.
The project involves the addition of an exterior mechanical unit enclosure at the Westgate
th
Elementary School site located at 9601 220 Street SW. The parcel is zoned single family
residential (RS-8) but primary schools are permitted primary uses in the zone (ECDC
16.20.010.A). Community facilities such as schools are regulated in ECDC 17.100.
While there are critical areas located elsewhere on the site (CRA-1995-0076), there are none in
the immediate area where the new mechanical enclosure will be located. Review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is not required for this project. The project proposes to meet
all required development standards for setbacks and height.
With respect to the design criteria in the Comprehensive Plan and in ECDC 17.100.050(G) (R),
APPROVED
the proposal is with conditions:
1.
Any future changes to the site or to the exterior of the buildings at the site shall be
reviewed by the Planning Division for compliance with ECDC 20.10 and ECDC
17.100.050(G) (R).
