The public works director is directed to produce and keep current a right-of-way designation map, designating each improved right-of-way, including alleys, according to the following criteria. When an unimproved right-of-way is to be improved, the public works director is directed to designate that right-of-way according to the following criteria based on projections for that right-of-way:
A. Alley. Public right-of-way providing service access to adjacent uses. Less than 200 average daily trips.
B. Cul-de-Sac. Permanently dead-ended streets. Less than 500 average daily trips.
C. Single-Family Access. Streets providing access to adjacent residents and to cul-de-sacs and linking these areas with collector streets. Less than 1,000 daily trips.
D. Commercial and Multifamily Access. Streets providing access to adjacent residents and/or commercial uses and linking these areas with collector streets. Less than 2,000 daily trips.
E. Collector Streets. Streets providing access to adjacent uses, linking neighborhoods and commercial areas together and linking these areas to the arterial system. Up to 10,000 daily trips.
F. Minor Arterial. Intra-community streets connecting community centers. Five thousand to 25,000 daily trips.
G. Principal Arterials. Intra- and inter-community streets connecting major community centers. Fifteen thousand to 40,000 daily trips.
Note: “Average daily trips” is defined as the number of vehicles passing a given point, in either direction during a 24-hour period, based on an average over seven consecutive days. (Ord. 1859 § 31, 2014; Ord. 1751 § 1 (Exh. A), 2011; Ord. 1595-06 § 1, 2006; Ord. 1027 § 1, 1990; Ord. 799 § 1, 1985).

12.20.100 Design and engineering standards.
A. Chapter 35.78 RCW requires cities and towns to adopt uniform definitions and design standards for major and secondary arterials (as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities). Standards are set through RCW 35.78.030 and 35.78.040 by a state design standards committee in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
These uniform design standards apply to all new construction on major arterial and secondary arterial roads and streets and to reconstruction of such roads and streets as far as practicable. No deviation from the adopted design standards may be made without approval of the WSDOT state aid engineer.
Those standards are published in the WSDOT Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) Manual and include directly or by reference:
1. LAG Chapter 42, City/County Design Standards for All Routes.
2. Accessible Public Rights-of-Way Planning and Design for Alterations (PROWAG), June 2007, and as may be subsequently amended.
3. AASHTO Green Book – A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets.
B. For other streets the AASHTO Green Book – A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2018 7th Edition, and as may subsequently be amended, shall apply.
C. The public works director is directed to develop and keep current full engineering standards and specifications for all improvements in the right-of-way. The applicant shall comply with these standards and specifications for all improvements in the right-of-way. The minimum engineering standards are shown in FMC 12.20.040 through 12.20.085, and subsections (A) and (B) of this section. The public works director may require additional engineering specifications for all improvements as field conditions warrant, on a case-by-case basis. (Ord. 2032 § 3, 2020; Ord. 1859 § 45, 2014; Ord. 1027 § 9, 1990).
12.20.110 Modifications, deferments and waivers.
Provisions of this section establish under what circumstances the requirements of this chapter may be modified, deferred or waived.
A. Authority to Grant and Duration. If the proposed development of the subject property requires approval through short plat or subdivision approval described in the subdivision ordinance, a request for modification, deferment or waiver will be considered as a part of that process under the provisions of this section. The public works director shall not grant any modification, deferment or waiver for any standard required as a result of a short plat or subdivision within five years from the date of approval of the short plat or subdivision, nor shall the public works director grant any modification, deferment or waiver of any standard to any note on the face of the plat regarding improvements. If the above process does not apply, the public works director may grant a modification, deferment and waiver from the requirements in this chapter.
B. Process. The applicant shall submit the request for a modification, deferment or waiver in writing, together with two sets of street plans showing both the required improvements and the proposed improvements for which the modification, deferment or waiver is being requested. The public works director shall consider the request, a written recommendation from the community development director and issue a decision, with findings, in writing. The decision shall be final unless appealed under the provisions of Chapter 14.10 FMC (within 20 days from the date of the action being appealed).
C. Modifications. The public works director may require or grant a modification to the nature or extent of any required improvement for any of the following reasons:
1. If unusual topographic or physical conditions preclude the construction of the improvements as required.
2. If other unusual circumstances preclude the construction of the improvements as required. The public works director shall take into consideration the designation and location of the street, the zoning and land use in the immediate area, the projected land use, provision of utilities to serve the area and on-site provisions for parking and maneuvering. A written recommendation from the community development director may be requested by the public works director.
D. Deferment. The public works director may require or permit that the required improvements be installed at a later time:
1. If the required improvement is part of a larger project that has been scheduled for implementation in the city’s capital facility plan – streets; or
2. If the subject proposal is for a single detached dwelling unit and the installation of the improvement would not complete the lesser of a full block face or 300 feet of frontage (alleys are not included for purposes of calculating frontage); or
3. If installation of the required improvement would require substantial off-site roadway modifications; or
4. If the public works department determines that installation of the required improvement would result in a safety hazard.
The public works director shall take into consideration the designation and location of the street, the zoning and land use in the immediate area, the projected land use, the provision of utilities to serve the area and on-site provisions for parking and maneuvering. A written recommendation from the community development director may be requested by the public works director.
E. Deferment Requirements. If the public works director approves a deferment:
1. The applicant and the city must sign a concomitant agreement to run with the property, in a form acceptable to the city attorney, specifying that the applicant will install or reimburse the city for construction of the deferred improvements as directed by the city. The applicant must file this agreement with the Pierce County auditor’s office.
2. The applicant must grade the subject portion of the right-of-way as though the improvement were to be immediately installed and stabilize the graded area in a manner approved by the public works director. The applicant may be exempted from this requirement if the public works director determines that unusual circumstances preclude the grading.
F. Waivers. The public works director may waive and not require or allow installations of a required improvement if the public works director determines that the current level and extent of the improvement in the right-of-way adjacent to the subject property will not be changed in the future. The public works director shall take into consideration the designation and location of the street, the zoning and land use in the immediate area, the projected land use, the provision of public utilities to serve the area and on-site provisions for parking and maneuvering. A written recommendation from the community development director may be requested by the public works director. (Ord. 1954 § 14, 2016; Ord. 1859 § 46, 2014; Ord. 1027 § 10, 1990).
12.20.120 Appeals.
