natural design of the proposed facility and does not interfere with wildlife passage or adversely <br /> impact biological functions of the buffer or the adjacent critical area. <br /> d. The location of a maintenance/access road is limited to the upland side of the facility outside <br /> the buffer. <br /> e. The facilities must include a buffer enhancement and management plan that would improve <br /> the functional performance of the buffer and associated critical area. <br /> f. All site development plans should consider low impact stormwater management techniques <br /> where site conditions allow as described in the Low Impact Development Technical Guidance <br /> Manual for Puget Sound, January 2005. <br /> For Type Np and Ns streams and category II, III, and IV wetlands,the planning director may <br /> grant an exception to the outer twenty-five percent limitation when the applicant demonstrates <br /> that the project would significantly increase wetland or stream function and would not <br /> substantially alter stream or wetland hydrology. A significant increase in wetland function shall <br /> be defined as no reduction in any individual function as measured by the Western Washington <br /> Wetland Rating System, and at least a five-point overall increase in the combined function score <br /> as measured by the Western Washington Wetland Rating System. <br /> Section 3. Section 3B of Chapter 4 of Ordinance No. 2530-01, as amended (EMC <br /> 15.16.080),which reads as follows: <br /> Decisions included. <br /> A. Review Process II applications include the following administrative decisions:* <br /> 1. Alteration of a designated significant feature within an historic overlay zone; <br /> 2. Alteration of category II and III streams as provided by Section 19.33D.500(B)(2); <br /> 3. Atrium appurtenance approval as provided by Section 19.39.040(B)(2); <br /> 4. Buffer width reduction for streams (Sections 1.9.33D.490(D) and 19.37.170(C)) or wetlands <br /> (Sections 19.33D.450(E) and 19.37.110(C)) or alteration of geologically hazardous areas or <br /> standard buffer(Section 19.37.080(C)) if proposal is not categorically exempt under SEPA; <br /> 5. Change or expansion of a nonconforming use (up to twenty-five percent) as provided by <br /> Section 19.38.030(C) and (D); <br /> 6. Comprehensive design plan permits as provided by Section 19.36.210; <br /> 7. Design guideline approval, when proposal includes modification of development standards <br /> and design guidelines and for projects not categorically exempt under SEPA; <br /> 12 <br />
