9.58.020 Thresholds for site plan review. A site plan review may be approved over-the-counter by the planning staff, taken in
for review and approval by the community development director, or taken in for review and approval by the planning
commission. This section establishes the three types of site plan reviews and the type of proposals that fall within each
category. A. SPR (Type 1). A Type 1 does not require a site plan review application and may be approved over-the-counter or
within 10 business days if the planner finds it necessary to conduct a field inspection. Three sets of plans are required.
Examples of projects that fall within this category are as follows: 1. Residential patio covers/porches under 150 square feet; 2.
Fences and walls; 3. Sign permits for three or less signs; 4. Installation of outdoor mechanical equipment; and 5. Other similar
uses the community development director deems appropriate for this type of review. B. SPR (Type 2). A Type 2 does not
require a site plan review application and must be submitted for review. The project may be routed to other departments for
review if the planner finds it necessary. Examples of projects that fall in this category are as follows: 1. Residential patio
covers over 150 square feet; 2. Residential room additions; 3. Construction of four or less single-family homes; 4. Addition of
four or less units to multifamily residential uses; 5. Commercial/industrial construction as follows: a. Additions to buildings with
less than 1,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of less than 50 percent; b. Additions to
buildings with 1,000 to 10,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of less than 25 percent; c.
Additions to buildings with more than 10,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of less than 15
percent; 6. Parking lot reconfiguration or new parking lot; 7. Sign proposals consisting of more than three signs; 8. Exterior
modifications to commercial/industrial structures; and 9. Other similar uses the community development director finds
appropriate for this type of review. C. SPR (Type 3). A Type 3 requires completion of a site plan review application and review
by the planning commission. The project must be routed to other departments for comments and conditions. Examples of
projects that fall in this category are as follows: 1. Construction of five or more single-family units; 2. Addition of five or more
units to multifamily residential uses; 3. Commercial/industrial construction as follows: a. Additions to buildings with less than
1,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of more than 50 percent. b. Additions to buildings with
1,000 to 10,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of more than 25 percent. c. Additions to
buildings with more than 10,000 square feet of existing gross floor area that result in an increase of more than 15 percent; 4.
Proposals for uses described in Division 3 of this title, Special Uses, provided the use does not already require planning
commission review under a conditional use permit; and 5. Other similar uses the community development director finds
appropriate for this type of review. (Ord. 806
