Project description Subdivision of a 50.28 acre site into 177 single family residential lots and multiple tracts for access, stormwater, wetlands/buffers, open space, tree preservation, and a transit stop. The site is located in the 2200 hundred block of Cooper Point Road. Access to the development will be from Cooper Point Road and Grove Road and lots will be served by city sewer and water. A preliminary plat application for the project was first submitted on January 23, 2019 and deemed complete on February 12, 2019. Project status February 13, 2023 The 5th submittal packet was provided by the applicant and routed to the City’s Site Plan Review Committee to evaluate for code compliance. The revisions were routed to applicable outside agencies for review. Once the review is complete the next step in the process will begin, which is likely to be a public hearing. Notice of the Hearing will be sent to all parties of record, property owners within 300’ of the project site, posted on this website, and published in the newspaper. Comments for the Hearing Examiner will be solicited once a hearing date has been determined. Revised submittal documents can be viewed below. January 17, 2023 The comment period for the SEPA MDNS closed on December 23, 2022, and the appeal period closed on December 30, 2022. Several comment letters were submitted, and an appeal was filed by the applicant. Comment letters and the applicant’s appeal statement can be viewed below under Current Documents. A prehearing conference was held on January 10, 2023, where the parties involved agreed to postpone the public hearing to allow the applicant to submit revised application materials in response to City review comments dated December 2, 2022. Following review of this information the City will evaluate the project’s compliance with the applicable code requirements. Mitigation measures in the MDNS may be modified pending the outcome of the City’s review. The public hearing, scheduled for January 23, 2023, has been postponed. Once revised application materials are submitted and reviewed by city staff, the public hearing will be rescheduled. At that time, public hearing notice will be reissued. December 9, 2022 The City has completed its review of revised application materials accepted on October 11, 2022. While the submittal addressed some of the City’s review comments from the prior review, outstanding issues were identified pertaining to stormwater, transportation, safe walking routes, critical areas, and property protection standards. The City will be moving forward to a public hearing with a recommendation of denial. For more detail regarding the reasons for this recommendation, see documents below to view Memorandum – Staff Recommendation. A SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued on December 9, 2022, and a public hearing scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Monday, January 23, 2023. The public hearing will be held in person in the City Council Chambers with an option to attend remotely to present testimony.
