FINAL DECLARATION OF NON -SIGNIFICANCE SEPA # 2-84 This Final Declaration of Nonsignificance shall expire one year from date of issuance unless a completed building permit application has been submitted within that time. A request for a one year extension of this Final Declaration of Nonsignificance may be made to the Planning Director prior to the expiration date. Description of Proposal - The prerosed action is the issuance of grading and public works permits to allow the construction of an approximately 35 stall parking lot. The following factors were considered and the listed requirements were placed based upon comments submitted during our review of an Environmental Checklist for this proposal: 1. The site is zoned G-2, Heavy Commercial -Light Industrial Zone, which would allow the proposed use. 2. A portion of the proposed parking area is on land which will be leased from the state. The proposed site is currently vacant and abuts the I-5 freeway. A copy of the lease agreement must be provided to the City prior to the issuance of any permits for parking lot construction. 3. The proponent also owns the adjacent property which is developed with two structures totaling approximately 9,350 sq. ft. The test facility currently employs approximately 55 people, with a maximum daytime shift of 35 employees. Parking required by zoning code for this use is 12 stalls. The.12 stalls required by Zoning Code is inadequate to meet the demand generated by the use. The proposed parking lot provides :5 parking stalls which is approximately 1 parking stall for each employee on the maximum shift: the proposed parking is adequate to mitigate parking impacts generated by the existing testing laboratory use. 4. Landscaping of the parking lot must be provided in compliance with Section 19.40.050 of the Zoning Code (a minimum of 5% of the parking area), and landscape screening consisting of evergreen plant materials shall be provided adjacent to the I-5 freeway. 5. Two mobile office units have previously been moved onto the site. The use of the mobile units is permitted for a period of one year from the date of issuance of this Final Declaration. The mobile units are permitted as a temporary use only when additional construction activity is anticipated: within the one year period the mobile units are permitted, the applicant shall submit a conceptual plan to the City whch indicates additional development anticipated. 6. The proponent has acquired additional property to the south and anticipates expansion into this area in the future. Any future development must comply with all pertinent environmental (SEPA) and construction permit procedures. 7. Detailed drawings, in accordance with City Design and Construction Standards, shall be submitted to the Public Works. Department showing site parking layout, landscaping, utilities, and storm drainage. Public Works Department approval of these drawings is required prior to any permits being issued. S. On -site drainage should be connected to the existing 30 inch storm drain that runs across this site and outfails into the Snohomish River. If the site drainage is connected to the combined sewer system, on -site detention or payment of a drainage fee will he required. A connection to the 30 inch storm drain will not require an on -site detention system nor payment of a drainage fee.
