an approximately 2.27-acre parcel from the current designation of "Single Family

the intersection of Lake Tapps Parkway SE and 182nd Avenue E (east of
Lakeland Hills South area, at the southeast corner of the city). Parcel #:
0520101045
The Commission and staff discussed the standards relating to the roadway and
driveway standards on this property should this amendment be approved. Staff
explained that Pierce County would be analyzing the location of the driveway as
they had previously approved conditions on this property. The Commission and
staff discussed the classification of the roadway and that the jurisdiction of 182nd
Ave. E is in Pierce County's jurisdiction.
CPM#4 - City initiated request to amend the map designation of three parcels
totaling approx. 144.6 acres from "light Industrial" and "Insitutional" to "Heavy
Commercial". This change is proposed in anticipation of US Government,
General Services Administration (GSA's) stated intent to reconfigure their current
facility, which is anticipated to result in a reduced need for land and possible
disposal (sale) of a portion of the approx. 135 acres. Properties are generally
located at southwest corner of C ST SW and 15th ST SW. Parcels are
2421049004, 2521049114 & 2521049115.
A discussion was held regarding the traffic in the area of C Street SW and 15tn
Street SW and if there would be road improvements made as development
increases and these proposals are approved. Staff explained that as these
properties are currently developed and if and when rezoning takes place further
traffic studies would be completed based on the uses and then improvements
would be required to maintain consistency with the city's adopted level of service
standard for the operation of those roadways and intersections.
The Commission had no further questions.
