(a) Intent. Personal storage facilities (“storage facilities”), otherwise known as self-storage or mini-storage, include characteristics common to commercial and industrial uses and may also contain long-term storage of vehicles, recreation vehicles, boats or similar. This section provides regulations to help guide appropriate siting of storage facilities in zoning districts identified in Table 14.40-II, while maintaining the desired character and function of these districts. If designed appropriately, storage facilities can emulate the exterior architecture and site design of commercial or mixed-use developments, reducing inconsistencies with Comprehensive Plan goals or zoning district intent and limiting impacts to surrounding neighborhoods.

The storage use and nonstorage use(s) may be located in the same or separate buildings. The storage use must be behind the nonstorage use and screened from the public right-of-way.

(iii) Standalone. Storage facilities comprised of two or more stories, with no other uses on the development site.

(2) Within vertical mixed-use buildings, the storage use may comprise no more than 70 percent of the total floor area, including accessory uses and subject to all other applicable provisions of this title, even when the storage facility office is in a ground floor suite.

(3) Horizontal mixed-use storage facilities and their appurtenances--including loading bays, parking, vehicle and equipment rental, landscape screening and offices--shall be limited in size to 50 percent of the gross site area. The remaining 50 percent of the gross site area may be developed with nonstorage uses.

(4) Standalone storage facilities and their appurtenances--including loading bays, parking, vehicle and equipment rental, landscape screening and offices--shall be limited in size to 50 percent of the gross site area.

(5) Outdoor storage (either uncovered or canopied) of trucks, boats, or other recreational vehicles or equipment is permitted when:

(2) Storage facilities shall include architectural and design features that promote visual compatibility with commercial or mixed-use developments. Examples of these features may include providing facade modulation; using varied or contrasting exterior building materials and detailing; screening blank walls; incorporating varied roof-lines among other features.

(3) For horizontal mixed-use facilities, the nonstorage use(s) and primary entrance shall be located adjacent to the public right-of-way with the storage facility use located behind the nonstorage use on the site.

(4) Storage facilities shall shield exterior lighting so as not to directly illuminate or create visible glare from adjacent residential properties subject to the requirements of Section 14.38.080.

14.44.090 Planned Business District.

(a) The Planned Business District is designed to accommodate commercial or mixed use development on sites containing sensitive resources or other sites where, due to property-specific circumstances, detailed planning would benefit all property owners involved as well as the public by allowing for comprehensive site planning and a transfer of densities among parcels in order to avoid impacts to sensitive resources.

(b) Development of all contiguous properties within a Planned Business District shall be in conformance with a master development plan developed for each of the Planned Business Districts in conformance with subsection (g) of this section. A master development plan is an area plan adopted by the City Council, which includes single and/or multiple ownerships of parcel(s) that relate through common objectives and design elements. The boundaries of the master development plan shall be an area generally delineated by principal/intermediate/minor arterial/collector streets within the PBD Zone.

(c) The master development plan shall not create a contract or be considered as absolutely binding upon the City or adjacent owners as to future development of adjacent land (unless so specified in a separate development agreement), but shall be used as a guide to landowners, developers, and the City.

(d) If a master development plan has not been adopted, property owners may request grading or building permits for existing or accessory structures. No new residential structures are allowed unless allowed as a permissible use pursuant to Chapter 14.40.

(e) The master development plan for any Planned Business District may be developed either by an applicant or group of applicants working collectively or by the City. However, the City is not obligated to do so.

(f) The master development plan shall be processed (and amended) as a conditional use permit. However, once a master development plan is adopted for a Planned Business District, all subsequent individual permitted uses shall be permitted through a site plan review and subsequent building permits and shall be consistent with the master development plan.

(g) Master development plans shall address the following:

(1) Site Design. A site plan for the entire Planned Business District shall be developed, indicating where the various land uses and the below listed elements will be located.

(2) Permitted Uses. Individual residential uses consistent with Table 14.40-I may be allowed when:

(i) An economic analysis is submitted with the master development plan application, supporting the change or mix of commercial and/or nonresidential uses and the increased need for residential development within the immediate area of the Planned Business District. The analysis, at a minimum, shall demonstrate that the potential commercial components being replaced by residential uses do not diminish the City’s overall economic viability as set forth in the goals, policies, and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan; and

(ii) The uses proposed in the master development plan include at least five percent commercial and/or civic uses based on the total square footage of the use structure. If the exact residential square footage is not known at the time of application for the master development plan, the applicant may use 1,500 per residential unit square footage factor to calculate the required commercial and/or civic use component; and

(iii) The residential development is proposed at a minimum of three dwelling units per acre on the site area allocated to the residential uses. A single-family residence may be permitted on sites where the property qualifies for a reasonable use provision pursuant to Sections 14.88.900 through 14.88.950. Development rights only shall be calculated using a base of three dwelling units per acre and may only be transferred to other sites within the same PBD master development plan area; and

(iv) Multifamily apartments shall be limited to 75 percent of the total residential uses on site. This provision does not apply to mixed use structures.

(3) Transportation and Circulation. The layout and design of all streets, rights-of-way, parking, ingress and egress, and mass transit facilities for the entire Planned Business District shall be provided.

(4) Utilities. The layout and design of all major utility facilities, including stations, main pipes, and detention facilities shall be provided.

(5) Recreational and Cultural Facilities. At least 10 percent of the portions of a Planned Business District that are not within sensitive areas or buffers shall be developed as usable open space. Such open space may be comprised of park space, public or private porches and patios, public trails, art facilities, or other similar uses which are intended to provide opportunities for recreational, cultural, or personal experiences.

(6) Critical Areas. All critical areas shall be identified and protected in conformance with Chapter 14.88 (Critical Areas). A protection and mitigation program for the entire site may be developed; provided, that mitigation for approved impacts shall be required at the time of the impact, regardless of whether the impact is located on the same parcel as the mitigation.

(7) Design. A master design concept shall be developed in conformance with the City’s development design guidelines, addressing architecture, massing, signage, streetscape, street furniture, etc. All development within the Planned Business District shall then need to conform to the design concept. Innovative design concepts may be considered and approved pursuant to the design review process in Section 14.16C.050(f), when the applicant demonstrates the overall design complies with the City’s Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Design concepts and requirements may be administered through the master development plan and subsequent site plan review.

(8) Landscaping. A landscaping concept shall be developed addressing plant species, design, installation, and maintenance. (Ord. 811, Sec. 44, 2010; Ord. 798, Sec. 6, 2009; Ord. 797, Sec. 5, 2009; Ord. 744, Sec. 4, 2007; Ord. 676, Sec. 34, 2003; Ord. 468, 1995)

14.44.210 Noise.

(a) All uses shall comply with the maximum noise levels outlined in Chapter 173-60 WAC.

(b) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this section, the table set forth in subsection (e) of this section establishes the maximum permissible noise levels for 4.000 classification uses in the Light Industrial and General Industrial districts. Measurements shall be taken at the boundary line of the lot where the 4.000 classification use is located, and, as indicated, the maximum permissible noise levels vary according to the zoning of the lot adjacent to the lot on which the 4.000 classification use is located.

(c) A decibel is a measure of a unit of sound pressure. Since sound waves having the same decibel level “sound” louder or softer to the human ear depending upon the frequency of the sound wave in cycles per second (i.e., whether the pitch of the sound is high or low) an A-weighted filter constructed in accordance with the specifications of the American National Standards Institute, which automatically takes account of the varying effect on the human ear of different pitches, shall be used on any sound level meter taking measurements required by this section. And accordingly, all measurements are expressed in dB(A) to reflect the use of this A-weighted filter.

(d) The standards established in the table set forth in subsection (e) of this section are expressed in terms of the equivalent sound level (Leq), which must be calculated by taking 100 instantaneous A-weighted sound levels at 10-second intervals (see the administrative guideline entitled “Guide for Noise Levels,” Section F-1) and computing the Leq in accordance with the table set forth in the administrative guideline entitled “Guide for Noise Levels,” Section F-2.

(e) Table 14.44-I: Maximum Permitted Sound Levels, dB(A).

Table 14.44-I: Maximum Permitted Sound Levels, dB(A)
Zoning of Lot Where 4.000 Use Located	(re: 0.0002 Microbar) Zoning of Adjacent Land
	Residential and PND		NC, LB, CBD, MU, PBD	LI	GI
	7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.	9:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.	NC, LB, CBD, MU, PBD	LI	GI
LI & GI	60	50	65	70	70

(f) Impact noises generated by sources that do not operate more than one minute in any one-hour period are permissible up to a level of 10 dB(A) in excess of the figures listed in subsection (e) of this section, except that this higher level of permissible noise shall not apply from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. when the adjacent lot is zoned residential. The impact noise shall be measured using the fast response of the sound level meter.

(g) Noise resulting from temporary construction activity that occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. shall be exempt from the requirements of this section. (Ord. 1179, Sec. 12, 2024; Ord. 1124, Sec. 2 (Exh. A), 2021; Ord. 811, Sec. 46, 2010; Ord. 590, 1998; Ord. 468, 1995)

14.44.220 Vibration.

(a) No subject use in any permissible business district may generate any ground-transmitted vibration that is perceptible to the human sense of touch measured at (1) the outside boundary of the immediate space occupied by the enterprise generating the vibration if the enterprise is one of several located on a lot, or (2) the lot line if the enterprise generating the vibration is the only enterprise located on a lot.

(b) No subject use in a Light Industrial or General Industrial district may generate any ground-transmitted vibration in excess of the limits set forth in subsection (e) of this section. Vibration shall be measured at any adjacent lot line or residential district line as indicated in the table set forth in subsection (d) of this section.

(c) Vibrations resulting from temporary construction activity that occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.

(d) The vibration maximums set forth in subsection (e) of this section are stated in terms of particle velocity, which may be measured directly with suitable instrumentation or computed on the basis of displacement and frequency.

When computed, the following formula shall be used:

PV = 6.28 F x D

Where:

PV =	Particle velocity, inches-per-second
F =	Vibration frequency, cycles-per-second
D =	Single amplitude displacement of the vibration, inches.

The maximum velocity shall be the vector sum of the three components recorded.

(e) Table 14.44-II: Table of Maximum Ground-Transmitted Vibration.

Table 14.44-II: Maximum Ground-Transmitted
Vibration
Zoning District	Particle Velocity, Inches-Per-Second
Zoning District	Adjacent Lot Line	Residential District
M-1	0.10	0.02
M-2	0.20	0.02

(f) The values stated in subsection (e) of this section may be multiplied by two for impact vibrations, i.e., discrete vibration pulsations not exceeding one second in duration and having a pause of at least one second between pulses.

(g) Vibrations resulting from temporary construction activity that occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. shall be exempt from the requirements of this section. (Ord. 1124, Sec. 2 (Exh. A), 2021; Ord. 811, Sec. 92, 2010)
