Public Use Reservations: 1. Street Right-of-Way Realignment, Dedication or Widening: If the City concludes that the street right-of-way adjacent to a proposed binding site plan is inadequate for widening and realignment of the existing street is necessary as a direct result of the proposed development, then the City may require a dedication of necessary right-of-way and improvement of that right-of-way. 2. Nothing herein shall prohibit voluntary agreements with the City that allow a payment in lieu of dedication of land or to mitigate a direct impact that has been identified as a consequence of a binding plan as authorized by Chapter 82.02 R.C.W. C. Design and Improvement Standards: 1. Design with Environment: The design and development of binding site plans shall preserve the natural drainage, existing top soil, trees, natural vegetation, and wetlands to the maximum extent possible. Information generated through the Environmental Review Process will be used in designing the development in such a way as to mitigate potential adverse environmental impacts. 2. Development with Existing Structures: In reviewing any project, all existing structures shall comply with the standard of this Ordinance and zoning code requirements. However, if the structures are non-conforming, the applicant shall bring the project into compliance to the maximum extent possible. This ordinance does not allow the applicant to make a structure more non-conforming. -9-
