I. INTRODUCTION
I. INTRODUCTION GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT City of Sumner Planning A comprehensive plan serves as a community's constitution for development and the use of its land. It provides direction for the long-term as well as the short-term, and covers multiple subjects. It is a statement of policy identifying environmental, social, and economic desires, and its accompanying maps are a reflection of stated policies. The City of Sumner was one of the earliest communities in the region to begin planning with its first Comprehensive Plan completed in 1960, referenced in Ordinance 676. The Plan has been updated thoroughly in intervening years, such as in 1983. A major amendment to the Land Use and Zoning section of the previous Plan was completed in 1988. The City of Sumner completed the first Growth Management Act compliant Comprehensive Plan in 1994 and completed a 10year update in 2004 and subsequent major update in 2010. As needed, the City will consider amendments to the Plan annually in accordance with the Growth Management Act (GMA). Growth Management Act Despite the planning efforts of many regional and local jurisdictions, western Washington began to grow more rapidly in recent years leading to additional population, sprawl, and increased traffic congestion. Growth has also resulted in impacts to the natural environment. To address the increasing concerns of citizens, the Washington State Legislature passed, and the Governor signed into law, the Growth Management Act (GMA) of 1990. Subsequent amendments to the Act have been made by the Legislature almost every year since. The GMA requires urban counties and cities within the counties to do the following: •
Prepare Countywide planning policies. Each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan will be reviewed against the policies.
•
Prepare multi-county planning policies which are required for two or more counties with a population of 450,000 or more, and with contiguous urban areas. This has culminated in the VISION 2020 plan prepared by the Puget Sound Regional Council (a council of governments) and updated to VISION 2040 in 2008.
•
Require coordination between counties and cities to define urban growth areas (i.e. the extent of urban development). Population will be allocated among the urban growth areas. Each jurisdiction must plan appropriately in its urban growth area to accommodate the population growth expected.

•
Define critical areas and adopt interim guidelines to regulate critical areas such as wetlands, mineral resources, aquifer recharge areas, geologic hazard areas, etc. Later amendments required that future updates to the critical areas regulations be based on “best available science” and give special consideration to habitat for anadromous fisheries.
1994 Comprehensive Plan Chronology: • • • •
Participated in drafting of County-Wide Planning Policies—June 1992. Participating in the preparation of MultiCounty Planning Policies with PSRC. Define Interim Urban Growth Boundaries (Resolutions 698, 739, and 780). Definition of critical areas and natural resource lands (Ordinances 1539 to 1547 and 1551). Formulated numerous advisory committees Incorporated Pierce County Urban Growth Areas and Urban Service Areas Ordinance 94-825, November 29, 1994.
•
Prepare a comprehensive plan which must include the following elements: Land Use, • Housing, Transportation, Capital Facilities, and Utilities. As an option, the • comprehensive plans may include elements for Conservation, Solar Energy, Recreation, and Sub-Area Plans. The elements must address State Planning Goals identified in the Growth Management Act and Countywide planning policies.
•
Adopt regulations consistent with and implement the comprehensive plan (e.g. revise the zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance, etc., or prepare new implementation mechanisms).
Related to preparation of the original 1994 Comprehensive Plan, the City of Sumner took several actions to meet the GMA requirements. See chronology in sidebar. Related to preparation of the 10-year Comprehensive Plan Update the following additional actions: •
Participated in the development of the buildable lands data as required by the GMA and completed by Pierce County. This included providing building permit and other development data to the County for evaluation of the City’s growth capacity, developing densities, and future housing capacity. The final Buildable Lands Report was published in August 2002.
•
The City updated the Capital Facilities Plan in 2003 compiling all the various facilities in one document.
•
Updated the critical areas regulations and Shoreline Master Program to include “best available science” and to give special consideration to anadromous fisheries.
The most recent update for 2010 included amending the City’s urban growth area and included public participation and outreach: •
Held public meetings to take comments and input from the public and agencies regarding the expansion and other modifications to the urban growth area. 3
•
Updated the City’s Environmental Impact Statement analyzing the potential impacts associated with increasing the urban growth area and addressing the ability to provide urban services and utilities to the area.
Coordination with State and Regional Goals and Policies State Goals Section RCW 36.70A.020 of the Growth Management Act lists the 13 planning goals which are to guide the preparation of a community's comprehensive plan and development regulations. The goals address the following topics: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Urban Growth Reduce Sprawl Transportation Housing Economic Development Property Rights Permits Natural Resource Industries Open Space and Recreation Environment Citizen Participation and Coordination Public Facilities and Services Historic Preservation Shoreline Master Program
Each comprehensive plan should consider and be consistent with the State goals. The state goals were reviewed by staff and decisionmakers as this Comprehensive Plan was prepared. The Draft EIS contains a policy analysis. Multi-County Planning Policies (VISION 2040) Multi-county planning policies are required by RCW Section 36.70A.210 of the GMA for two or more counties with a population of 450,000 or more, and with contiguous urban areas. King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties were required to adopt multi-county planning policies. Kitsap County chose to also participate in this effort. VISION 2040 is a regional plan facilitated by the Puget Sound Regional Council (a Council of Governments) and adopted by local governments in the four-county Puget Sound region (King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties). The original regional plan, VISION 2020, was adopted as the Multi-County Planning policies subject to reanalysis for more detailed compliance with the Growth Management Act. In late 1992, the four county region began using the then newly adopted Countywide planning policies of the participating counties as a format for amendments to the VISION 2020-based multi-county policies. The amended policies were
4
adopted by the PSRC General Assembly for use in the four counties in March 1993 and amended in 1995. In April 2008, following several years of public process, the Puget Sound Regional Council adopted VISION 2040 as an update to VISION 2020. VISION 2040 includes framework policies, designation of urban growth areas, contiguous and orderly development (including “Regional Growth Centers” and “Manufacturing/Industrial Centers), transportation facilities and strategies, regional capital facilities, inter-jurisdictional planning, economic development, affordable housing, and open space linkages, resource protection and critical areas. VISION 2020 and the Multi-County Planning Policies were reviewed by staff and decision makers as this Comprehensive Plan was originally prepared and are reviewed for all subsequent amendments. The Draft EIS contains a policy analysis. One of the important functions of the Puget Sound Regional Council is to certify jurisdictions’ Transportation Plans to ensure that they are consistent with the regional Transportation Plan and therefore eligible for federal funding. Countywide Planning Policies for Pierce County In accordance with the Growth Management Act, Pierce County and the cities and towns located in the County prepared Countywide Planning Policies. They were ratified by the local jurisdictions (ratified by the City of Sumner City Council on June 8, 1992), and adopted by the Pierce County Council on June 30, 1992. The CWPPs were amended in 1996 to incorporate elements that are consistent with VISION 2020, namely providing policies specifically addressing the achievement of compact urban development and concentrated growth in centers served by multi-modal transportation systems. The CWPP were amended again in 2004 to include an update to the designation of “Urban Centers” and “Manufacturing/Industrial Centers” and includes specific examples meeting criteria in VISION 2020. The Countywide Planning Policies address required topics outlined in the Growth Management Act as well as optional topics considered important to the region. The eleven areas addressed include: • • • • • • • • • • •
Affordable Housing Agricultural Lands Economic Development and Employment Education Fiscal Impact Historic, Archaeological and Cultural Preservation Natural Resources, Open Space and Protection of Environmentally Sensitive Lands Siting of Public Capital Facilities of a Countywide or State-Wide Nature Transportation Facilities and Strategies Urban Growth Areas Amendments and Transition
The Countywide Planning Policies provide a framework for the preparation of local jurisdictions’ comprehensive plans. Since all jurisdictions must meet these policies, consistency between plans is more assured. The Countywide Planning Policies were reviewed as this Comprehensive Plan was prepared. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan have been reviewed for consistency with the Countywide Planning Policies including any amendments that 5
have been made since their initial adoption. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 1994 Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee was appointed by the Mayor in February 1992, consisting of 15 members, including 7 Planning Commissioners. Between February 1992 and October 1993 the Committee held over 40 public meetings, hearings, and workshops as they conducted visioning exercises, prepared a vision statement, determined urban growth boundary recommendations, prepared alternative plans, conducted environmental review, and lastly selected a preferred plan with accompanying goals, policies and objectives. Committee activities were advertised through newspaper articles, display ads, legal ads, posted agendas/notices, bulk 1994 Comprehensive Plan Amendments1 mailings, and letters sent to those on a mailing list. 1996—Ordinance No. 1739, February 5, 1996 In addition to regular meetings, the Committee 1997—Ordinance No. 1840, July 6, 1998 members and City staff participated in an outreach 1999—Ordinance No. 1884, September 7, 1999 process by attending 14 meetings of community 2000—Ordinance No. 1884, June 5, 2000 groups such as Rotary, Sumner Promotion, Sumner 2001—Ordinance No. 1956, May 21, 2001 Senior Center, Sumner Historical Society, 2003—Ordinance No. 2039, March 17, 2003 neighborhood community halls, as well as others, 2004—Ordinance No. 2091, July 25, 2004 2005—Ordinance No. 2133A, December 5, 2005 during the visioning process and alternative plan 2007—Ordinance No. 2221, July 16, 2007 review process. 2008—Ordinance No. 2276, December 1, 2008 In addition to meetings by the Advisory Committee, the City Council held three public hearings to consider comments on the Comprehensive Plan. These hearings were held on November 8 and November 16, 1993, and March 23, 1994. They were advertised through mailings, legal ads, and display ads.
2009—Ordinance No. 2298, December 7, 2009; Ordinance No. 2299, October 5, 2009 2010—Ordinance No. 2342, November 15, 2010 1
References to amendments 2007-2009 do not appear in Ordinance No. 2298.
Public participation is documented under separate cover in the related plan documents. The final adoption of the Comprehensive Plan occurred on April 4, 1994 via Ordinance No. 1625. Nearly annual amendments were approved for the Comprehensive Plan and are listed in the side bar above.

2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments (Shoreline Master Program) When the Shoreline Master Program was updated in 2004, the Comprehensive Plan was amended to include a Shoreline Master Program Element that contains the goals as presented in the Shoreline Master Program. The update to the Shoreline Master Program involved 13 public meetings and notice to all property owners along the rivers as well as notice in the newspaper and articles in the City newsletter. This amendment was outside the annual amendment process and is allowed per GMA. Ordinance No. 2091, July 25, 2004 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update The City provided information to the public through public hearing notices in the newspaper, articles in the community bi-monthly newsletter, mailed notice and posting information on the City’s website. There were a total of 9 location-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment requests, as well as amendments to the East Sumner Neighborhood Plan area map designations and creation of a Town Center Plan. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan update involved the public in several ways and on two different “tracks�. The most significant was the development of the Town Center Plan as part of this update. Public outreach included two public workshops one in July 2003 and one in September 2004; a focus group of consultants, business owners, residents and City representatives to discuss potential for downtown in December 2002; a housing charrette in January 2004 that included local stakeholders and developers and finally several public workshops with the community to finalize the recommendations in the Town Center Plan. The Economic Development element was also updated after a business survey, individual interviews with businesses, and a workshop in May 2004 asking for recommendations on how the City could assist businesses. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council held public hearings. The amendments were adopted on June 20, 2005 via Ordinance No. 2133 for the Comprehensive Plan in general, and Substitute Ordinance No. 2133A was adopted on December 5, 2005 to include the Town Center Plan. Amendments to the 2004 Comprehensive Plan1 2007 Amendments Ordinance No. 2221, adopted July 16, 2007, amended the Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Map as it pertains to three separate proposals; 1) amended the map to show changes in ownership between private to public entities and where necessary changes in the zoning; 2) amended the urban growth boundary line to include parcels that are more than 50% within the urban growth area; and 3) redesignate/rezone property in the vicinity the 700 Block of Cherry and Narrow Street. 2008 Amendments Ordinance No. 2276, adopted December 1, 2008, amended the Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Map as it pertains to three separate proposals summarized as follows: 1) amended both maps such that 0.18 acres at 914 Meeker Street is redesignated/rezoned to Central Business District (CBD); 2) amended the Comprehensive Plan Map such that 90 acres in proximity of 14218 Stewart Road contains an Urban Village Overlay District; and 4) amended the Comprehensive Plan Map to add a Low Density Residential-3 designation on approximately 265 acres. 7
2009 Amendments Ordinance No. 2298, adopted December 7, 2009, amended the Comprehensive Plan policy and text to include those related to: Community Linkages and the Community Linkages Map; City Mission, Vision, and Values; Code Enforcement; Staff Qualifications and Training; Low Impact Development; and Historic Preservation. Ordinance No. 2299, adopted October 5, 2009 amended the Comprehensive Plan policy and text to include a Manufacturing/Industrial Center (MIC) designation on generally all the industrially zoned land in the northern area of the City. This designation does not include any commercially zoned land but would increase in a limited way opportunity for commercial/retail and office development in the industrial zones. This MIC designation included areas within the City of Pacific and created opportunity for the MIC to become a Countywide center as well as a regional center. Being a regional MIC would allow access to more funding sources for transportation improvements. 2010 Amendments-Update Ordinance No. 2342, adopted November 15, 2010, amended the Comprehensive Plan policy and text and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use map to include amendments to the urban growth area that resulted in a net decrease of residential capacity. The urban growth area was expanded to the south by approximately 188 acres and reduced by approximately 250 acres on the east hill for a net reduction in the overall UGA area of 62 acres. These amendments also included a proposal to amend the MIC designation in the vicinity of the old Fleischmann Yeast Plant and was denied. The Fleischmann Industrial Park, LLC appealed the City’s decision to the Growth Management Hearings Board and the Board ruled that the City had complied with GMA but not the procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act and ordered the City to prepare further environmental review specific to the Fleischmann Industrial Park, LLC proposal for amending the MIC. The City completed a Supplemental EIS and on April 16, 2012 the City Council adopted the Supplemental EIS, but continued to deny the MIC amendment request. Minor clarifying amendments that had been in the original ordinance were retained. _____________________ 1

PLAN DOCUMENTS The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (RCW 43.21C) requires government officials to consider the environmental consequences of actions they are about to take and seek better or less damaging ways to accomplish those proposed actions. They must consider whether the proposed action will have a probable, significant, adverse environmental impact on the following elements of the natural and built environment: earth, air, water, plants and animals, energy and natural resources, environmental health, land and shoreline use, transportation, and public services and utilities. The State Growth Management Act (GMA) in RCW 36.70A requires preparation of a Comprehensive Plan addressing several elements including Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Utilities, Capital Facilities, Economic Development, and Parks and Recreation. SEPA and GMA requirements are similar in many ways. Integration of SEPA with GMA eliminates duplication of effort and assures consistency between SEPA and GMA requirements. As adopted by Ordinance No. 2342, the Sumner Comprehensive Plan consists of this Comprehensive Plan document and the Draft and Final EIS as described below: •
Sumner Comprehensive Plan Update, Draft Environmental Impact Statement In compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act, the Draft EIS analyzes twentysix different environmental topics comparing the impacts of their plan alternatives: the Existing Comprehensive Plan (No Action Alternative) and two Proposed Action Alternatives. Since many requirements for SEPA analysis are similar to the analysis required by the Growth Management Act for plan elements, the Draft EIS was prepared in a manner to combine documentation as allowed in WAC 197-11-210 through 238 and 197-11-640. The background information to support the Plan Elements - as required by the Growth Management Act - is provided in this document. Many of the proposed mitigation measures have been incorporated as goals, policies, and objectives in this Comprehensive Plan.
•
Sumner Comprehensive Plan Update, Final Environmental Impact Statement The Final EIS analyzes the Preferred Alternative Sumner Comprehensive Plan. It provides an updated project description of the Preferred Alternative, supplements the Draft EIS analysis, and responds to comments received on the Draft EIS. It also documents how the Preferred Alternative incorporates many of the Draft EIS mitigation measures. With the provisions of Ordinance No. 2342, the City Council adopted the Preferred Plan as the Comprehensive Plan.

PLAN BOUNDARIES The adopted Pierce County Comprehensive Plan, November 1994, which took effect January 1, 1995, establishes two types of boundaries: the Comprehensive Urban Growth Boundary (CUGA) and Urban Service Areas (USAs). The Comprehensive Urban Growth Boundary is Pierce County's 20-year Urban Growth Boundary for unincorporated Pierce County and for the cities and towns within the CUGA, which includes the cities of Edgewood, Fife, Fircrest, Lakewood, Milton, Puyallup, Ruston, Steilacoom, Sumner, Tacoma and University Place. USA's are located within the CUGA as being those areas proposed by the cities where urban growth and urban services will occur. USA's do not extend beyond the CUGA. Where cities' USA's overlap, affected jurisdictions are to resolve the overlaps with each other and the County. In 1996, the City of Sumner incorporated Pierce County's Comprehensive Plan regarding the County Urban Growth Area and Urban Service Area boundaries during consideration of annual amendments. In addition, the amendments reflect resolution of overlaps with the City of Pacific, and the incorporation of the City of Edgewood. The City proposes that the area south of SR-410 and east of SR-162 be considered a joint planning area with Pierce County, although not included in Sumner's future urban service area. Also, negotiations with the City of Pacific include commitments to joint planning. Refer to Figure 1. For the purposes of the Sumner Comprehensive Plan, references to "Urban Growth Area" or "Urban Growth Boundary" refer to Sumner's Urban Service Area. The 1997 Plan amendments included changes to the Urban Service Area. The changes account for the refinements of the City of Edgewood’s boundary and acknowledge an interlocal agreement with the City of Auburn which removed most of the northeast corner of the prior Urban Service Area. That area was left for Auburn to serve. The 2010 amendments included changes to the Urban Service Area. This included an expansion of the USA/UGA to the south of SR410 by about 188 acres and simultaneous reduction of the area on the east hill by about 250 acres. DEFINITIONS This section describes the definitions of key words, the document format, and interpretation of the text. Goal A goal is a broad statement of what ought to exist in a community or what is desired to be achieved in the future, usually determined through a citizen involvement process. (Washington State Planning and Community Affairs Agency, The Language of Planning: A Glossary of Selected Land Use Planning and Zoning Words and Phrases, 1981)
13
Policy A policy is a more specific statement than a goal which describes a particular course of action to accomplish the purposes of the comprehensive plan. Policies represent the will of the people translated into decision oriented statements which are continuously available to the legislative body while evaluating a new project or proposed change in ordinance. (Washington State Planning and Community Affairs Agency, The Language of Planning: A Glossary of Selected Land Use Planning and Zoning Words and Phrases, 1981) Objective An objective is something toward which effort is directed: an aim or end of action. (MerriamWebster, Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1986. Format of Sumner elements The text in the Comprehensive Plan Update includes: •
Goals which are highlighted in a bold cursive font;
•
Policies with a related numbering system to the goals they support (e.g. # 1.1); and
•
Objectives which indicate quantified targets or specific actions with a related numbering system to the policies they implement (e.g. # 1.1.1).
Interpretation The words and terms used in the Sumner Comprehensive Plan Update are defined as set forth in the Growth Management Act, Procedural Criteria, Countywide Planning Policies, and other Sumner plans and ordinances. Where terms are not defined in such documents, words and terms shall be given their plain and ordinary meanings. It is understood that the City of Sumner is responsible for implementing the goals, policies, and objectives of this plan, unless otherwise stated. There is no prioritization of the goals, policies, and objectives; decisions based on the Plan will have to balance the applicable goals, policies, and objectives and apply whatever weighting that may be appropriate. The timing of implementation and the amount of resources devoted to the goals, policies, and objectives shall be determined by the City Council through the budget and resource allocation process over the 20-year horizon of the Plan. The Plan has been prepared with the understanding that it will be amended as needed in the future.

II. VISION STATEMENT
II. VISION STATEMENT SUMNER: THE VISION Today, Sumner is bound together by its community pride, respect for neighbors, agricultural and small town heritage, and support for small businesses as well as industry, and concern for the environment. We recognize that there are community needs -- the improvement of the Downtown business area, repair of streets and sidewalks, management of traffic, along with adequate public services and parks. Our vision for the coming decades enhances our positive community ties, quality of life, and addresses community needs. We share and support this vision for the year 2024. THE COMMITMENT In 2024, Sumner shows strongly its unique "small town" characteristics and appeal even in the face of a changing world. Through ongoing cooperation and communication between citizens, business, industry, schools, and local government, an environment exists which reflects the community's pride in itself. This environment embodies our agricultural heritage, our desire for open space, our promotion of quality education, our community interaction, and our readiness for the future. In order to maintain this environment our community upholds responsible commitments in planning for our physical layout, the character of our residential districts, our growth patterns, the maintenance of our parks and recreational commitments, our continued economic development, and responsible governance. COMMUNITY LAYOUT In 2024, the streets of Sumner are primarily a gridded layout of surfaced streets with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and with handicap access. The City promotes alleys, and the majority of garages are entered from them, making the sidewalks straight, flat and in good repair. The yards are well kept, many with various trees. Scenic views are maintained where possible. As a result of the Clean Air Act, many properties have a crystal clear view of Mt. Rainier. It is easy to see that the owners of the homes and business buildings as well, take great pride in their possessions as well as pride in the community as a whole. Buildings and property are maintained and in good repair, designed to encourage walking and community interaction and exemplifies our small town character. Pride in the community goes beyond the homes in the residential section, beyond the commercial section, beyond the industrial section, in fact much of the source of pride is in the ground where, due to the foresight of the City Council, administrators, and leading citizens, Sumner has developed and maintained an adequate water system and tertiary sewage treatment facility. An adequate storm water system has been completed. Utilities have been and are encouraged to place as many of their systems as is practical underground. Sumner remains "quiet" with a small town atmosphere, by building "by-pass" roads on the east side and to the north, which connect with the North End Interchange on SR 167. Sumner is unique in that most of the traffic on the streets is local and very few of the cars or trucks pass 15
through. Traffic calming and other measures have been taken to reduce speeds, making streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. Where appropriate, Sumner has maintained the separation of incompatible uses by using and strengthening the "Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Code". Where compatible, there are areas of “mixed-use�, predominately around the train station, where a mix of housing and businesses creates a vibrant and diverse living environment. New parks, recreational areas, greenbelts, and buffers have been added to the landscape of the City to define the various districts as well as provide open space and recreational opportunities. Sumner neighborhoods are linked by a network of sidewalks, trails, bicycle routes and a smallscale inter-city transit system. RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER In 2024, Sumner's housing is predominately owner-occupied, and the community enjoys the benefits of the pride of ownership. Primarily, residential development includes single-family and owner-occupied, attached multi-family housing. A diversity of housing styles and types is maintained and adds to the community's character and creates housing opportunities for all of life’s stages. Many homes include porches or other amenities where families and neighbors interact. In 2024, Sumner continues to be a place where we and our children can afford to live and work. The improvements envisioned in this statement shall not be allowed to create an upscale community that is beyond the financial resources of our people.1 To that end, we are willing to see lot sizes decrease, if that becomes necessary, to make lots, houses, and accompanying utilities affordable to our growing population. City plans support a diversity of lot sizes and variety of housing types to meet the varied needs and lifestyles found in Sumner. A higher density of housing that is predominately owner-occupied and keeps with the overall small town character of Sumner is concentrated in the downtown where it is in easy walking distance of downtown services and the train station. GROWTH Sumner is the envy of many of our neighboring cities in the year 2024 as they see the results of many years of planning and a good common sense approach to enforcement of zoning and environmental laws.
1
City monthly operating expenses, and, therefore, individual taxes shall not increase to the point that living in Sumner is beyond the financial resources of our people. However, because there is not always a direct relationship between cost and quality, we realize that if the market determines that homes and other real estate is worth more in Sumner than other areas, we cannot control this factor. But we can control our homeowners' costs for City government expenses.
16
By listening to the people of the community, then passing and enforcing laws they desired, Sumner has been able to require that developers and individuals fill in the "vacant areas" where public utilities and services were available before allowing them to stretch out and create sprawl. Infill is the rule, as far as practical, within the limits of our growth area. Infill, clustering, and other types of techniques assist the community in protecting valuable natural resources such as farmland, minerals, rivers, streams, wetlands, groundwater, unstable hillsides, and yet allow sensitive development. As appropriate to a site's constraints, lower density development is promoted in environmentally sensitive areas. While agriculture is no longer one of the "main stays" of the area, ordinances which promote the "right-to-farm" have allowed some agriculture to still exist. Along with desires to conserve or protect valuable resources and sensitive areas, City plans and ordinances ensure protection of property rights. Fair compensation practices are in place to compensate owners if property rights are taken for public use. Innovative programs are utilized such as transfer of development rights programs, and onsite clustering of development rights. Through adequate planning for both jobs and housing, we strive to have a large portion of the work force living in the City and using something other than automobiles for transportation. There is a "new breed" of commuters which use commuter rail, buses, bicycles, and other choices to travel back and forth from work and shopping. PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE In 2024, Sumner's park system is a unification of a major sports complex, community parks, and neighborhood parks situated in the various sectors of the City. Each residential area has access to neighborhood parks which become focal points for interaction. Residents and businesses alike enjoy active recreational facilities and programs including baseball, soccer, tennis, golf, or others. Picnic areas, arenas and other amenities allow opportunities for concerts and community gatherings. Sumner's recreational facilities are linked by a network of sidewalks and linear trail systems along the Puyallup and White Rivers. The linear trail system provides recreational pleasure for non-motorized cyclists, walkers, and joggers as well as aesthetic enjoyment of our natural resources. Linear trails separate development from riparian buffers and assist in the preservation of our natural resources. The City has reserved lands in a natural state for passive enjoyment and to benefit fish and wildlife. Sumner's park and recreational system is designed for the benefit of all ages, including persons with physical limitations. The safety of adults and children is considered in the design, maintenance and management of system parks and recreational areas. Maintenance of the parks and linear trails is a cooperative effort of the City and community. Volunteer assistance by citizens, local organizations, and Adopt-a-Stream/Parks programs assist with the upkeep and enhancement of facilities, as well as promote community pride. Maintenance of existing recreational facilities is a priority ahead of the development of new facilities. Land is acquired as needed for future park needs. The arts are used to express the history, heritage, and
17
uniqueness of Sumner. Art is incorporated into the community through design and features of public spaces, entrance ways, concerts, murals, and sculptures. Preservation of historical and cultural landmarks helps sustain our City's heritage. Historical, cultural, and educational features are linked to our recreation system such as the revival of a bandstand/gazebo in Heritage Park. The Historical Society finds support from a community aware of Sumner's history and heritage. History and heritage is also maintained through established landmark and historic programs that preserve the character of the buildings in the downtown. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In 2024, small businesses are supported and nurtured throughout the community. Essential business services are found within walking distance of most neighborhoods. Our City policies and strategies provide opportunities for businesses which conform to our small town atmosphere. A viable, economically stable business community is promoted which is distinct and separate from light industry and other light manufacturing and commercial areas. Planned industrial and commercial areas are encouraged and should utilize landscaping and other forms of buffering to ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. Downtown and the main commercial core of the City are enhanced with pedestrian amenities, landscape, streetscape, and other improvements which complement the efforts of Downtown businesses to create a coherent theme. These improvements play a major role in linking Downtown with West Sumner and East Main Street and help create a unified and seamless whole. New buildings along Main Street are built in close relation to the street with parking to the rear of buildings creating a place that is more welcoming to walking and interaction. GOVERNANCE In 2024, all residences and businesses are served by full City services including water, sewer, storm drainage, fire protection, emergency medical care, police protection and others. Sumner is a community which takes financial responsibility for its needs. New development contributes its fair share towards improvements in proportion to its impacts on the community. Local government, the school district, and private schools work together in the planning process for quality education. Good leadership and educational programs are supported. The focal point of the community becomes the local schools. The community supports integrated educational, recreational, and cultural activities at the performing arts center, stadium, gymnasium, sports complex, and other places. The school system serves Sumner, and the City boundaries are essentially the boundaries of the school district. Communication between citizens, businesses, industry, and government enables responsive, effective, thoughtful, and fair governance. Town hall meetings provide a forum for community issues to be discussed in a relaxed setting. Sumner University and other formats are utilized to educate the citizens about their community and government. The City’s website is used to communicate to the public and is a major resource for quick and reliable information. A local newspaper keeps local citizens and businesses informed and is part of an increased effort at
18
communication. Our cooperative spirit maintains our community pride, builds community ties, and ensures our readiness for the future. [Resolution No. 1119, Adopted: March 1, 2004]

III. VALUES
III. VALUES The Sumner Vision Statement and the continuing public participation process have elicited community values that provide a framework for the Sumner Comprehensive Plan. These values are people, environment, security, community, economy, good government, foresight, stewardship and education.
♌ The Values People The City of Sumner is made up of many diverse and valuable people from our society. All are recognized as vital to the future of the City and to the quality of life we strive to achieve. Residents, property owners, business owners and operators, industry, people who work here, people who play and shop here, children, senior citizens; all are vital to our collective future. Environment The people of Sumner respect the environment in which we live and strive to reduce the impacts our activities have on the environment. We strive to protect the environment and replenish what we must take from it. We examine our daily activities to determine how we can do things differently to reduce our use of the earth's resources. We look at the long-term effects of our activities, and we strive to mitigate those effects. We are proactive about taking steps to improve the environment. We use our resources whenever possible to educate our children and our adults about the environment. Security Our security not only comes from our continuing investment in the public safety services available through the City government, but it comes from ourselves. Through education, our children know the importance of avoiding drugs and gangs. Our schools, parks, families and community offer constructive alternatives for young and old alike. Our neighbors are our greatest source of security. We keep our eyes and ears open and we design places where we can be secure. Our security includes preparation for all types of emergencies. We will be ready when they happen. Community Our sense of community is our greatest strength. Our understanding and respect for each other, our commonalities, and our diversity make our community stronger and better able to handle the tough challenges we face. Our sense of community brings together the places we work, live, play, learn, worship and govern to create the true "City of Sumner." Economy The people of Sumner support a strong and diverse economy. As such, a variety of industrial, business and employment opportunities are supported within the City. Large employers are encouraged, and the services they require are provided. Similarly, small business is fostered and opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation are created. A strong economy provides opportunity for our residents, tax base to support our services, employment for the region, security for our people and balance to our community. Our economy respects our values and does not overwhelm us.
20
Good Government We value the role of government in our society. We understand and appreciate its responsibilities and work with its limitations. Communication between government and the people exists in all forums. Government is 'by the people', invites the people to actively participate, and seeks innovation to solve complex problems. The people take the time to participate responsibly and address issues. City resources support participation and encourage citizen boards and commissions, public notice and information, and volunteerism. Foresight The City plans ahead for its future. Through comprehensive planning, utility and infrastructure planning, coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, and capital facilities programs, the City is able to ensure it has the resources for future needs. The City uses this foresight to maintain its vision of the future. We communicate regularly and determine if we are achieving the vision we desire. Stewardship The settlers of the Sumner valley left us with many beautiful and valuable resources. The rivers, streams, open spaces, historic buildings, parks, hillsides, watersheds, and downtown are all vital to our community. We use our skills, resources, and determination to preserve these as best we can as stewards for the future. Education Our public school system is at the center of our community. It is a source of pride and provides identity for our City, education to our young people, resources for our citizens, and a future for all. We strive for our own broad educational system open to everyone. [Resolution No. 1119, Adopted: March 1, 2004]

IV. ELEMENTS
LAND USE ELEMENT BACKGROUND The Land Use Element plays the central role of correlating land use issues. Its goals, policies, and objectives relate directly to the other elements of the Sumner Comprehensive Plan particularly the Community Character Element, Capital Facilities and Public Services Element, and Transportation Element. The Land Use Element is divided into sub-elements due to the variety and complexity of issues. The section addresses: •
Land Use
•
Historic and Cultural Resources
•
Essential Public Facilities
•
Commuter Rail/Regional Transit
•
Permit Process
•
Plan Monitoring and Amendment
•
Governance
22
LAND USE SUB-ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Land Use Sub-Element provides direction on land use patterns, compatibility, and orderly development.

1.13
Ensure at least 80% of property within the MIC has planned future land use and current zoning designations intended for industrial and manufacturing uses. 24
Compatible non-industrial uses may be allowed within a limited portion of the MIC, provided they must be sited, designed, and conditioned to mitigate potential conflicts with current and potential future industrial users. 1.14
In cooperation with the City of Pacific, promote the creation of 20,000 jobs in the Sumner-Pacific Manufacturing/Industrial Center by 2040.
25
HISTORIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCES SUB-ELEMENT INTRODUCTION Sumner's beginnings and cultural features provide a source of pride for the community and a context for understanding Sumner today. As described in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, although local Native American tribes were prevalent prior to American settlers, few archaeological resources have been found due to the lack of surveys. Several historic buildings have been surveyed and placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Without adequate planning and controls, development has the potential to disturb cultural resources. GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES

ESSENTIAL PUBLIC CAPITAL FACILITIES SUB-ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The State Growth Management Act requires that local government comprehensive plans include a process for identifying and siting of essential public facilities. Essential public facilities are typically difficult to site and include, but are not limited to, airports, state educational facilities, state or regional transportation facilities, state and local correctional facilities, solid waste handling facilities, in-patient facilities including substance abuse facilities, mental health facilities and group homes [RCW 36.70A.200(1)]. No local comprehensive plan or development regulation may preclude the siting of essential public facilities [RCW 36.70A.200 (2)]. GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES
1.
Allow for the appropriate siting of essential public capital facilities of a State-wide or Countywide nature. 1.1
Identify essential public facilities based upon the Growth Management Act, State Office of Financial Management list of essential public facilities required or likely to be built, Countywide Planning Policies for Pierce County, and any City lists which may be developed.
1.2
Siting proposals in the Sumner Planning Area shall be made in accordance with the following: •
The State, regional, or local agency shall provide a justifiable need for the public facility and for its location in the Sumner Planning Area or adjacent areas based upon forecasted needs and a logical service area;
•
The State, regional, or local agency shall establish a public process by which the residents of the County and "host" municipalities have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the site selection process.
1.3
Through the Land Use Plan identify publicly owned lands and quasi-public uses.
1.4
Promote facility siting consistent with the Sumner Comprehensive Plan elements, capital facility plans, and implementing ordinances.
1.5
Through the zoning ordinance or other implementing ordinances, prepare siting criteria for essential public facilities which are difficult to site. 1.5.1
The criteria shall address: • Specific facility requirements •
Impacts of the facility 28
•
Effects on urban growth area designations
•
Other standards and criteria as outlined in the Countywide Planning Policies and other locally defined plans and ordinances.
1.5.2
The criteria shall allow for a cooperative interjurisdictional approach to the siting of essential public facilities in accordance with the Countywide Planning Policies for Pierce County. Joint planning agreements shall be sought where appropriate. Through joint planning or interlocal agreements, the City shall seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens due to the siting of essential public facilities.
1.5.3
A public review process shall be established for essential public facilities which are difficult to site.
1.5.4
Siting criteria shall provide for amenities or incentives for neighborhoods in which the facilities are located. Compensation for adverse impacts shall be a consideration.
1.6
Siting criteria for essential public facilities which are not difficult to site shall provide for site design and buffering techniques to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, and enable the facility to be permitted outright in appropriate zoning classifications wherever feasible.
1.7
Work with Pierce County and other municipalities to standardize review procedures and criteria for the siting of state-wide and county-wide essential public facilities and incorporate these procedures within interlocal agreements.

COMMUTER RAIL/REGIONAL TRANSIT SUB-ELEMENT INTRODUCTION Sound Transit provides commuter rail service on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail lines and is an important service to Sumner. The provision of regional transit service has had and will continue to have impacts upon land use and transportation. The following goals and policies address the key issues and priorities related to station oriented development in the Downtown. Figure 2 indicates the location of the commuter rail station. The City will continue to participate in updates to Sound Move, the regional transportation plan, as it relates to regional bus service, commuter rail service, and local transit. GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES
1.
Support regional transit connections in the Sumner Planning Area. 1.1
Collaborate when possible with Sound Transit, Pierce County and surrounding cities to do joint planning on future services concerning the commuter rail and transit system.
1.2
Work with local property owners to encourage the development of commercial uses compatible with the commuter rail station.
1.3
Ensure that the commuter rail station does not have an unreasonable adverse impact on the residential character of the neighborhood.
1.4
Consider and pursue opportunities for an increased pedestrian connection to the West Sumner Neighborhood and the Downtown business core such as a pedestrian overpass.
1.5
Continue to explore the parking options and access options for the commuter rail station that are compatible with the surrounding land uses, safe, convenient, and attractive. Address options for location of future parking for expanded service over time.
1.6
Plan for a train station at Stewart Road next to the golf course and adjacent to the northeastern boundary of the Sumner-Pacific MIC. The station would help connect high density housing centers with the proposed MIC, and may serve regional populations or function as secondary "skip-stop" stations. 1.6.1
Work with Sound Transit and Pierce Transit throughout the planning, construction, and operation of a station to ensure it is an integral part of the City's transportation system and the regional transit system.
1.6.2
Consideration will be given to design controls, compatibility with surrounding land uses, access, transit connections to other parts of town, 30
bicycle storage, relationships to pedestrian and bicycle trails, and parking. Complementary land uses such as civic rooms, day care, small retail, or other uses to be integrated with the station may also be included in the station plan. 1.7
Promote the use of the Sounder commuter train by the entire Sumner community. Provide housing near the train station for households desiring the close transit availability, and provide services and businesses that cater to residents and train commuters.
1.8
Work closely with Sound Transit to establish stations north at Stewart Road/Lake Tapps Parkway and at Shaw Road/East Main to relieve ridership and parking demands at the Sumner commuter rail station.
1.9
Promote and pursue the use of underutilized parking lots throughout the City as potential remote sites for commuter rail station parking.
1.10
Seek alternatives to the construction of a stand alone parking garage in the Town Center.
1.11
Request that Sound Transit provide additional bicycle lockers at the station to encourage bicycle commuting to the station. Require that any expansions to parking for the station include increased bicycle lockers.
1.12
Work with transit agencies to improve the frequency and location of transit service between high density residential areas and the MIC, provide connections between the rail stations and the MIC, and encourage transit ridership through efforts such as prioritizing pedestrian improvements near transit stops and outreach efforts to industrial employers.

PLAN MONITORING AND AMENDMENT SUB-ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Growth Management Act (at RCW 36.70A.130) requires that "Each county and city shall establish procedures whereby proposed amendments or revisions of the comprehensive plan are considered by the governing body of the county or city no more frequently than once every year." In addition, the statute requires that "each city located within an urban growth area shall review the densities permitted within its boundaries, and the extent to which the urban growth occurring within the county has located within each city and the unincorporated portions of the urban growth areas." The policies provided below establish a framework for monitoring and amending the Comprehensive Plan. GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES

LAND USE DESIGNATIONS INTRODUCTION Following are the land use designation categories to be utilized in conjunction with the Land Use Plan Map, shown in Figure 3. Figure 4A indicates areas to be designated as Manufacturing/Industrial Center and Table 1 summarizes the categories, densities, and floor area ratios. RESIDENTIAL Residential-Protection This designation is applied to areas adjacent to lands in resource production (e.g. agriculture, mineral extraction, forestry) and in sensitive critical areas as appropriate, (e.g. landslide/erosion hazard areas). Residential-Protection uses act as a buffer between natural resource and environmentally sensitive areas and higher density/intensity developments. Property owners would be on notice that in adjacent areas resource uses will be encouraged. The low densities reflect the absence of City services, and the desire to ensure that when areas become urbanized that previous land use patterns will not hinder future choices. Allowable primary uses include single-family detached homes. Secondary uses include specialty farming, small-scale animal husbandry, home occupations, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, and other uses incidental to and compatible with the primary use. Low Density This designation provides for primarily single-family dwellings in areas with current or planned access to City facilities and services. At the higher end of the density range (LDR-3), (7 du/acre +) public transit can more easily be supported. Low density residential uses provide a transition from rural residential to higher density uses. Primary uses include detached single-family residential dwellings, private garages, and other accessory buildings. Secondary allowed uses include attached single-family units, accessory units ("mother-in-law units"), adult family homes, public and private educational facilities, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, and churches and religious institutions.

Medium Density The medium density designation is intended to provide for multi-family living to ensure that opportunities to obtain reasonable-cost housing exist for community residents. Primary uses include multi-family housing of various types including zero-lot line structures, townhouses, condominiums, etc. Secondary uses can include single-family dwellings, adult family homes, day care, public and private educational facilities, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, churches and religious institutions, convalescent care and rest homes, limited office/professional buildings, and manufactured home subdivisions. Medium density developments may require design review to ensure diversity of building types/avoidance of building form repetition, plan goal consistency, and neighborhood compatibility. High Density This designation allows for higher density multi-family developments to allow for a broad range of housing choices in areas with existing and planned infrastructure, and to allow for infill development and the reduction of sprawl. Primary uses include multi-family housing of various types including townhouses, condominiums, apartments, etc. Secondary uses can include low and moderate density residential developments, adult family homes, day care, public and private educational facilities, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, churches and religious institutions, convalescent care and rest homes. This designation primarily applies to existing development that already is developed to this density level. This designation may be applied in new areas as appropriate to the neighborhood's character (e.g. near commercial areas). Proposed high density developments may occur where the following conditions exist: • • • •
An over-concentration of multi-family dwellings in a single area is avoided. A repetition of building forms is avoided in the proposed development. Design review will be required. Adequate public facilities exist to support the density.
MIXED USES Central Business District The Central Business District provides a focal point for the City and provides for retailing and other commercial services in a fashion that preserves and enhances the pedestrian scale and character of development in the downtown area. Small and medium independent shops and offices are typical to this district. Primary uses include retail businesses, professional offices, hospitals, medical clinics, hotels, theaters, restaurants, personal service shops, multi-family dwellings above ground floor commercial uses, and public/semi-public buildings. Secondary uses include automotive service stations, convenience stores, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, and light manufacturing, assembling, and repairing. The Central Business District also functions as a “town center” because of its central location as a transit hub, the pedestrian scale and character, and the types of services provided.
44
Urban Village Urban villages are self-contained, tightly gridded, mixed use areas with a seamless mix of residential, commercial, and civic uses. An urban village in Sumner would be different than an urban village in Seattle. In Sumner, an urban village would be something like a "miniDowntown" and would respect the "small town character" of Sumner by ensuring buildings are of appropriate height and scale. The urban villages will provide a focus for neighborhoods outside the CBD, but are secondary to the CBD. Urban villages promote pedestrian scale, transit-oriented developments in harmony with the character of the community. Primary uses include retailing and commercial services, banks (with no drive through facilities), professional offices, bed-and-breakfasts, hotels, civic uses, multi-family dwellings of various types including duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, apartments, etc. Secondary uses can include single-family dwellings, accessory units, adult family homes, day care, public and private educational facilities, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, churches and religious institutions, convalescent care and rest homes. Mixed uses, converted residential buildings, converted commercial buildings, and variable lot sizes are encouraged to ensure pedestrian orientation, visual interest, and historic character protection. Mixed Use Development The Mixed Use Development zone is located in the Town Center Plan area and permits a mix of commercial and residential uses in the same building and on the same site. The MUD zone allows for up to 40 dwelling units per acre and has the purpose of increasing housing in the downtown to promote business and transit use. The area will also have incentives for underbuilding parking and landscape amenities. There will be commercial uses in the ground floor of structures fronting on the primary streets with residential units above. Detached, stand alone residential structures will be ground related and likely in townhouse style arrangements. Transitions to adjacent residential zones will be softened through height restrictions and design standards.
45
COMMERCIAL Agriculture The purpose of this designation is to protect agricultural uses, promote the conservation of productive agricultural activities and operations, and to maintain large areas free of impervious surfaces to allow for natural infiltration to groundwater resources. Principal uses include agriculture, floriculture, horticulture, general farming, dairying, poultry raising, stock raising, kennels and other agricultural uses as well as cultivation of forest products or crops. Secondary uses include single-family residences, produce stands, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, and residential structures for employees. General Commercial This designation is applied to areas outside the CBD and urban villages where retailing, commercial, and office uses serving a larger market are promoted. While the uses accommodate automobiles to a greater degree, buildings with a street orientation, screened parking, and ample landscaping ensure more attractive centers. Primary uses include retail businesses, automotive sales, professional offices, hospitals, medical clinics, hotels, theaters, restaurants, personal service shops. Secondary uses include automotive service stations, convenience stores, utilities subject to compatibility criteria, and light manufacturing, assembling, and repairing. General commercial uses may occur in different forms to encourage specific uses. For example, areas around hospitals may have provisions encouraging medical service and pedestrian access; or retail or commercial uses near large employment centers may be limited to commercial uses to support workers. Limited multi-family residential uses may be incorporated (e.g. on second floors above retail) where it can be integrated into the proposed development and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Existing general commercial areas will be encouraged to incorporate pedestrian-oriented elements and positive design features such as additional landscaping, reduced front setbacks, screened parking, and pedestrian scale lighting and signage. New general commercial areas will require design review to ensure these goals are met and a balance in the accommodation of all transportation modes including transit and pedestrians is achieved. Neighborhood Commercial This designation is intended to provide for neighborhood centers that include convenient retailing, small offices, and other commercial activities principally oriented to adjacent residential areas and neighborhoods. Primary uses include convenience stores, personal service shops, day care, dry cleaners, laundromats, video stores, and others deemed to be neighborhood serving. Secondary uses include public/quasi public uses such as parks and other similar facilities as well as utilities subject to compatibility criteria. Higher density residential developments may also be allowed in the neighborhood commercial areas where integrated appropriately with the commercial uses and surrounding neighborhood.
46
Interchange Commercial This designation applies to areas surrounding the 24th/28th street interchange on SR167 and the area south of SR410 near the 166th Avenue interchange. These areas are designated as Interchange Commercial (IC) because they function primarily as automobile dependent businesses, lack pedestrian connections to residential zoning and the future character is anticipated to be primarily automobile dependant. While not following as closely to the requirements for pedestrian oriented design, the design standards will be attractive and of high quality. Primary uses in this zone will be similar to General Commercial such that there will be automotive sales, equipment sales, gas/convenience stores, automotive repair and maintenance, hotels/motels, theaters, and grocery stores. The area will have greater setbacks allowed than in General Commercial and have less emphasis on pedestrian connections to the street while internal pedestrian design will still be required. OFFICE AND MANUFACTURING Light Manufacturing This district allows for the following uses: Principle uses include light manufacturing (particularly assembling and manufacturing of products from previously prepared material), office, warehouse/distribution, and packaging plants. Secondary uses include service retail, restaurant, government, agricultural activities, and utilities subject to compatibility criteria. Goals: •
Landscaping * along streets * within parking lots * buffers next to lower intensive zones and open space and critical areas * some amortization of existing businesses * screening of outdoor storage * along side lot lines when not immediately adjacent to a parking lot/truck maneuvering area
•
Site Design * consistent with transit goals * screening of parking and loading * discourage multiple curb cuts
Heavy Manufacturing This district provides areas for heavy industrial uses which are located appropriately to ensure minimal impacts to residential and commercial areas. Typical uses include processing of natural and manmade materials for use in general manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, and 47
distribution. Secondary uses include office, limited retail establishments, agricultural activities, and utilities subject to compatibility criteria. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FACILITIES AND UTILITIES The purpose of this designation is to identify lands utilized to provide public and private utilities, facilities, and services. Allowable uses include parks, schools, medical facilities, non-profit service uses/organizations, public and private utilities, and government buildings. Proposed parks are indicated in the Parks Plan.
48
OVERLAY DESIGNATIONS Cluster This designation may be combined with any base designation. Its purpose is to manage and preserve valuable resource and environmentally sensitive lands such as agricultural lands, steep slopes, wetlands, and others, yet allow for planned development where appropriate. Residential units or commercial structures are to be concentrated on a portion of the site with the remaining reserved as a conservation easement (e.g. for future agricultural use). Developed buildings are to be screened by trees and landscaping. Densities and FAR's would be as follows when a base designation is applied with the cluster overlay designation: Combination
Density
Residential Protection-Cluster
1 du/1 acre (clustered on 25% of site)
Agriculture-Cluster
1 du/1 acre (clustered on 25% of site)
Industrial-Cluster
.3 - .7 FAR (clustered on 25% of site)
All other combinations would use the base designation density or FAR, and clustering would occur in accordance with City critical area and natural resource ordinances and other implementing ordinances. Shoreline This overlay references the Sumner Shoreline Master Program which indicates required setbacks and allowable uses for land in the affected shorelines. In Sumner, land along the Puyallup and White (Stuck) Rivers is governed by the Shoreline Management Act and Sumner's Shoreline Master Program. There are three shoreline designations: urban, shoreline residential and urban conservancy. Refer to Figure 25 in the Shoreline Element. Neighborhood Plan Districts Each neighborhood planning area is indicated in the form of a circle. The circles and concurrently the neighborhood size are defined by walking distance from a center that serves as a focus for the neighborhood. The radius is generally 1,500 feet and the walking time would be approximately 5 minutes. A majority of the neighborhoods have a local focus. The center of the neighborhood may be a park or a civic building. Some neighborhoods such as downtown have a more regional focus. (Refer to the Districts and Neighborhoods Map in the Community Character Element).
49
Community Linkages The Community Linkages Map indicates potential transit stops and neighborhood focus points similar to those in the Neighborhoods and District Map. However, the Community Linkages Map shows some actual transit stops and provides for more logical locations for future transit stops or a community transit system that could serve the commuter rail station. These potential transit stops would be within a 5 minute walk of much of the area to which they service similar to the neighborhood focal points and with a range between 500-1500 feet in diameter. Public and Private Facilities and Utilities The primary purpose of this designation is to identify lands utilized to provide public and private utilities, facilities, and services. A secondary purpose of this designation is to allow manufacturing and industrial uses in specific areas as provided in the underlying zoning. Allowable uses include parks, schools, medical facilities, non-profit service uses/organizations, public and private utilities, and government buildings, as well as manufacturing and industrial uses in specific locations. Portions of the area designated as Public and Private Facilities and Utilities are located within the manufacturing/industrial center identified in Figure 4A. Proposed parks are indicated in the Parks Plan. Manufacturing/Industrial Center Designation The Manufacturing/Industrial Center (MIC) Map (Figure 4A) designates the area that would be considered for high intensity industrial land uses for an employment and economic center both on a local, county, and regional level. This area will be characterized by light and heavy manufacturing uses, restrictions on retail uses, and a prohibition of residential uses in this area. The MIC will be targeted for infrastructure improvements to promote the industrial and economic development in the area. Planned Mixed Use Development The Planned Mixed Use Development overlay area requires a mix of commercial and residential development that will undergo extensive public process including design review, hearing examiner recommendation, and City Council approval. The PMUD offers greater flexibility to develop a mix of ground floor commercial, walkable neighborhoods, increased density as appropriate, adequate open space, complete street designs and opportunities for green and environmentally friendly development. The result is a development that fits the character of the surrounding neighborhood as a whole and is an asset to the community. A PMUD may have a mix of commercial, mixed use structures, and stand-alone multi-family residential in a variety of configurations from live/work units, residential over ground floor commercial, to townhouses, and cottages. Buffer areas can also be configured within a PMUD to minimize conflicts between uses such as agriculture and large-lot single-family or, between more intense uses such as industrial, depending on the neighborhood.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER ELEMENT INTRODUCTION As evidenced in the Vision Statement and Community Character Strategy key issues for the community include maintaining and promoting Sumner's small town atmosphere, enhancing downtown, providing beneficial employment, ensuring a compatible variety of uses, managing a reasonable rate of growth, protecting and enhancing cultural and environmental resources, providing adequate infrastructure, and promoting property maintenance, among others. This image of Sumner is consistent with the regional strategy (VISION 2040) by envisioning the City as both a town center and a regional manufacturing and industrial center. The variety and concentration of land uses in the downtown core, proximity to the commuter rail station, and use as a transit hub, creates a strong town center. In addition, the manufacturing and industrial development on the north end of the city has become a regional center for this activity, and will be formally designated by the Pierce County Council and Puget Sound Regional Council. The goals, policies and objectives below are based on these themes. GOALS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
1.
Maintain and enrich Sumner's quality of life encompassed in its friendly, small town atmosphere. 1.1
Encourage development which enhances the human, pedestrian scale, creating a sense of community and place.
1.2
Endeavor to maintain a complete community, consistent and compatible in character and design, containing housing, shops, work places, schools, parks, civic facilities, and community services essential to the daily life of residents.
1.3
In concert with the Sumner citizens and business community, maintain design guidelines and a design code, as appropriate, which address streetscape, landscape, and building design. Materials and methods of construction should be specific to the region, exhibit continuity of history and culture, and compatibility with the climate, protect historic and archaeological resources, and promote the community's character and identity.
1.4
Implement a Zoning Code which implements the comprehensive plan and community vision.
1.5
Encourage in the community a continuous commitment to maintaining Sumner's character and quality of place, including land conservation and stewardship, wise management of streetscapes and public viewsheds, property maintenance, and historic preservation.
57
2.
1.6
Implement design guidelines that discourage the use of franchise and corporate architecture that detracts from Sumner’s unique sense of place.
1.7
Preserve the single-family residential scale and historic character of existing streetscapes through various means such as floor area ratio and setback requirements.
The Sumner community should be designed so that housing, jobs, daily needs, and other activities are within easy walking distance of each other. 2.1
Establish Urban Villages in the Planning Area. A mix of uses shall be allowed. Area plans shall be prepared to indicate in more detail allowable uses, design themes, buffering, public spaces, etc.
FIGURE 5: URBAN VILLAGE
2.2
Define neighborhoods and districts by walking distance to neighborhood centers and other community facilities.
2.3
Together with Pierce Transit and other agencies, establish a network of transit stops and a transit system in the neighborhoods and districts, consistent with the Community Linkages Map, connecting to the commuter rail stations, and neighborhoods. Through street standards promote pedestrian-friendly streets with trees.
2.4
58
2.5
Encourage a mix of residential-scale civic, commercial, and service uses in neighborhood centers. Small community parks or greens shall be established where appropriate.
2.6
In recognition of the need for a variety of housing, allow through the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code a mix of residential uses as appropriate to the neighborhood character.

HOUSING ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Growth Management Act requires consideration of housing needs through the State Planning Goals and through the requirements for a housing element. Housing Elements are required to recognize the vitality of existing neighborhoods, inventory existing and projected housing needs, identify sufficient land for a variety of housing types and needs, and make adequate provisions for the existing and projected needs for all economic segments of the community. [RCW 36.70A.070 (2)] The Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement inventory existing and future housing needs in Sumner. These needs include: increasing numbers of the elderly, female-headed households, large families, and the homeless; very low vacancy rates for single-family units and somewhat low vacancy rates for multi-family units; a large percentage of households which earn less than the County median income; and increasing housing ownership and rental costs. The Land Use Element and Land Use Plan Map provide for a variety of housing densities and housing types including single-family, multi-family, and mixed uses. The goals, policies and objectives below are intended to reinforce other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, and to describe the community's commitment to housing. GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES

TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT INTRODUCTION Sumner's existing and future transportation needs are addressed in the Sumner Comprehensive Transportation Plan as well as the Draft EIS. Issues discussed in these documents include: levels of service, travel forecasts, transportation improvements, alternate modes, funding strategies, and concurrency management. Planned transportation improvements are shown following the goals and policies. GOALS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES The City of Sumner Transportation Plan is comprised of several elements. In order to efficiently and effectively implement the Transportation Plan, the City has identified a range of goals and policies. These goals and policies provide a framework for decision making related to transportation projects and programs. The transportation goals and policies cover the following elements: • • • • • • •
Public Involvement Agency Coordination Streets and Highways Pedestrians and Bicycles Rail, Transit, and TDM Land Use and Environment Program Financing and Implementation
The transportation goals and policies will be used by the City in deciding how to secure and use funding, decisions related to new land use development applications, and coordination with other City planning objectives. The overall goal for the City of Sumner Transportation Plan is set forth below. OVERALL TRANSPORTATION GOAL
Provide an efficient and safe multimodal transportation system to improve mobility for residents, employees, and visitors of Sumner while maintaining the small town quality of life within the City and supporting the economic vitality of the City. The goal identifies the City’s desire to meet the mobility needs of the people that live, work, or visit Sumner. The goal calls for supporting a range of travel modes: auto and truck vehicles, pedestrian, bicycle, and bus and rail transit. The City wants to maintain its small-town character by minimizing the development of transportation improvements that would increase the ability or desire of regional traffic to travel through the community. The remaining goals and policies further refine the City’s overall transportation system goal.
85
The transportation system must provide improved access and circulation to support the economic development of the City. The system should be designed to provide access to the industrial and commercial areas while protecting residential areas from intrusion of traffic. Public Involvement The City of Sumner transportation system is intended to serve the people of the City. Therefore, involving the community is very important to help match the planning, design, and implementation of transportation improvements with the community vision and priorities.
1.
Involve and educate the residents, employees, and property owners of Sumner in planning for and implementing transportation projects and programs in and around the City. 1.1
Encourage and solicit public participation in all transportation-related decisions to help ensure planning and implementation have public support. The City will continue to provide opportunities for the public to provide input on the transportation plans improvement projects, priorities and funding, and designs. These will include meetings with the Planning Commission, City Council, and special forums, as appropriate. Input from and education to the public will provide better use of available funds and integration of the transportation system to meet land use and other community goals.
1.2
Include public review of transportation improvements needed to support public or private land development projects based on the Transportation Plan. The public is most often concerned about the potential transportation impacts and needed mitigation of specific development projects. The City will review the public’s comments and issues related to transportation impacts based on the goals, policies, and criteria set forth in the Transportation Plan, the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and other applicable requirements such as the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
1.3
Strive to meet the user education needs of the Sumner UGA transportation system. These include: • • • •
Educating the public on transportation planning concepts such as levels of service, concurrency, traffic calming, and funding programs. Increasing user awareness of existing traffic law abuses and the dangers associated with them; Informing the public of advances in traffic safety from both system and vehicle perspectives; Supporting driver education by having police meeting with high schooler, elderly, and other groups; and
86
•
Developing rider information packages that inform users of commuter, transit, rail, and air transportation opportunities.
The more the public understands about transportation and its relationship to the overall community, the better the decisions. This will assist the City in identifying transportation issues and improvement strategies. Agency Coordination Sumner is geographically located at the confluence of several regional transportation corridors. The City is impacted by regional traffic flows that impact the quality of life within the community. The City is also growing, especially in employment uses. This growth can impact the transportation needs on the regional highway and arterial system in adjacent communities. Therefore, the City must work with other transportation service providers to plan, design, fund, and implement transportation projects and programs to serve the community.
2.
The City of Sumner will provide a transportation system that is compatible with State and regional plans, plans of adjacent jurisdictions, and with public transit providers. 2.1
Coordinate the development and implementation of the Sumner Transportation Plan with the State Highway Systems Plan. The State highway system provides for the regional connections to/from the City of Sumner planning area. The City will coordinate with the State to identify and implement improvement needs along the State highway system. The coordination includes involving the State in: • • • • •
2.2
The development of the City’s Transportation Plan; Working with the State to fund and implement improvements such as the new SR 167/North Sumner interchange at 24th Street E; Providing support for future extension of the SR 167 freeway from Puyallup to Tacoma; Future widening of SR 410 to add high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and interchange improvements, including structural and vegetative sound abatement; and Future improvements at State interchanges and State highways that serve Sumner.
Coordinate the planning and implementation of the Sumner Transportation Plan with the Regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The City of Sumner transportation system is part of the larger MTP assembled by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Major improvements to arterials, freeways, non-motorized facilities, and transit system facilities/services identified 87
by the City of Sumner need to be included in the MTP to be eligible for certain funding programs. Furthermore, inclusion of key projects in and around Sumner in the MTP provided for a regionally compatible system of multimodal improvements covering: • • • • • 2.3
Vehicular movement, including private passenger vehicles and commercial trucks; Freight rail movement; Regional passenger rail and bus transit; HOV facilities and transportation demand management programs; and Regional pedestrian and bicycle systems.
Coordinate planning and implementation of transportation improvement projects and programs with local agencies. Sumner’s Transportation Improvement Plan relies in part on improvements to transportation facilities under the jurisdiction of other agencies such as Pierce County and the Cities of Pacific and Puyallup. In addition, improvements such as the extension of Shaw Road can have significant impacts on traffic volumes and operations in Sumner. These types of projects require coordination to: • • •
Plan, design, and construct the improvements to provide continuity for vehicular and non-motorized transportation modes; Jointly fund significant improvements that serve regional travel patterns; and Ensure compatibility of improvement projects and the timing of their implementation.
Specific coordination is required for the following projects: • • • • • •
2.4
8th Street E (with Pierce County and City of Pacific); Shaw Road extension (City of Puyallup); East Valley Highway widening (City of Auburn and Pierce County); 136th Avenue E (City of Pacific); Sumner Regional Trail (City of Pacific, City of Puyallup, and Pierce County); and Pacific Avenue Bridge and West Valley Highway improvements (City of Edgewood and Pierce County).
Continue to work with Pierce Transit and Sound Transit to support and enhance a multimodal transportation system by ensuring that the City’s transportation plans and facilities are consistent with public transit plans and programs. The City of Sumner does not operate bus or rail transit services. These are provided by Pierce Transit and Sound Transit, and consist of local bus, express bus, and commuter rail. The City will continue to coordinate with these agencies
88
to provide alternative transportation services between the City and local and regional origins/destinations. Streets and Highways Streets and highways provide the basic framework for the City of Sumner transportation system. The system is comprised of freeways, arterials, collectors, and local streets. These facilities serve private vehicles, commercial trucks, public bus transit, and much of the bicycle and pedestrian travel (through adjacent sidewalks). Therefore, developing and maintaining an operationally efficient and safe street and highway system is important in meeting the overall transportation goal.
3.
Plan, design, implement, and maintain a street and highway system that provides safe and cost-efficient mobility and accessibility of goods, services, and people for the community of Sumner. 3.1
The LOS standard for arterials and collectors in the City of Sumner shall be LOS D or better except for the following locations: • •
Traffic Avenue/Main Street/Fryar Avenue (LOS F) Main Street/Alder Avenue (LOS F)
The levels of service shall be measured using methodologies identified in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The City desires to provide reasonable levels of traffic operations while minimizing the impacts and costs of creating wider roadways and intersections to accommodate traffic. The Transportation Plan identifies improvements that would meet the standard when fully implemented. The LOS F standard at the Traffic Avenue/Main Street/Fryar Avenue intersection is established since providing LOS D would require extensive additional improvements at the horizon year of the Plan, such as providing a four-lane bridge. The City in setting the LOS F standard for the Main Street/Alder Avenue intersection reflects the desire to maintain Main Street as a two-lane street with parking in order to promote the downtown design characteristics. 3.2
Levels of service for non-arterial collector roads, streets, or driveways intersecting with arterials will be evaluated at the time of development review. The City Engineer will identify appropriate mitigation to address potential operations or safety impacts. Left turns and through movements on side streets intersecting with arterials may operate below the adopted LOS standard. The poor level of service may affect relatively low traffic volumes and may not meet warrants for traffic signals. Furthermore, installation of traffic signals at a location may not be consistent with the Transportation Plan or traffic engineering practices. Each location will need 89
to be reviewed based on traffic engineering studies at the time of development review. Appropriate mitigation should be identified and implemented to reduce potential safety and operation impacts, even though the intersection may operate below the adopted standard. 3.3
Transportation improvements or strategies shall be constructed to ensure that an adequate transportation system is in place to serve increased travel demands. Concurrency shall be defined as having a financial commitment in place to resolve the deficiency within six years. Concurrency will be implemented as part of the City’s development review process under SEPA. The City will not approve new developments unless the LOS standards are met. The City will not apply concurrency adopted on SR 167, a designated Highway of Statewide Significance (HSS), or its interchanges (per HB 1487). Exceptions to concurrency also will be provided at the following locations in the City until improvements identified in the transportation plan are funded and constructed: • • • • •
On SR 167, a designated HSS, or its interchanges (per HB 1487); On SR 410, SR 162, or the three interchanges of SR 410 state highways serving the City (Traffic Avenue, SR 162, and Sumner-Tapps Highway); The Traffic Avenue/Main Street/Fryar Avenue intersection; The East Valley Highway/Forest Canyon Road or East Valley Highway/8th Street E intersections; and The Pacific Avenue/West Valley Highway corridor or Bridge Street.
The above exceptions from denial under concurrency are identified since these corridors are affected by significant regional traffic growth and require regional funding solutions. Until improvements identified in the Transportation Plan are able to be implemented using State, other regional, and local funding, congestion will be allowed to occur. The City will review potential impacts and identify appropriate mitigation through impact fees (if adopted) and SEPA. The City will coordinate with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on identifying appropriate mitigation along SR 162 and at the interchanges of SR 410. 3.4
Streets and arterials shall be classified to reflect their desired functional use. Design standards should be implemented based on the functional classification, location in the City, and land uses it serves. The Transportation Plan identifies the general characteristics used to define the classification of freeways, arterials, collectors, and local streets in Sumner. Design guidelines are presented in Appendix B of the Transportation Plan, which further identify potential characteristics by classification and the type of area and
90
land uses it serves. The design guidelines cover provisions for the various travel modes served by a type of roadway. 3.5
Establish truck routes based on functional classification, connectivity, and land uses. The truck route system primarily consists of principal and minor arterials. Main Street, from Traffic to Valley Avenues, will not be a through truck route, since it serves the downtown commercial district. Collectors and local streets in the industrial classified areas will also serve as truck routes. On other City streets, only local deliveries should be allowed by trucks, unless provided for by approved exceptions. The truck route designations identified in the plan shall reflect planned improvement projects. As improvement projects are made, the truck route designation will be modified. This includes deleting the truck route designation on Bridge Street east of Traffic Avenue upon completion of the new North Sumner interchange. Completion of the Puyallup Street extension to East Valley Highway will result in sections of Zehnder, Wood, and Elm Streets being declassified as truck routes except for local access. Trucks entering/exiting the City to/from a destination within the City should use only the designated truck routes between the regional system (or City limits) and the intersection nearest the destination/origin within the City. The truck shall limit its travel on non-truck route streets to the shortest distance between the truck route and the origin/destination within the City.
3.6
Provide a highly interconnected network of streets, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and trails for ease and variety of travel. The City of Sumner recognizes that increasing connections throughout the City provides efficiencies in traffic circulation and increases the sense of unity of the community. A flexible grid system of roadways is preferred over the use of culde-sacs, dead-end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers. Creating a pattern of continuous through streets with a system of highly integrated secondary access streets will provide long-term economic and social benefits to the community. The City will encourage the use of trails and other connections that provide ease of travel between neighborhoods and community centers. To achieve an interconnected street network, the City should: • Allow cul-de-sacs only where the natural or built environment would logically preclude a grid street system; • Consider future needs and opportunities for development of the local service street grid in project review of development proposals; • Require new development to provide full or partial street improvements, where such streets will expand, complement or improve access to the larger street network, consistent with existing development patterns and environmental constraints; 91
• • •
Seek to establish a maximum interval between local access streets in industrial areas of ¼ mile; Seek to establish a maximum interval between local access streets in residential and pedestrian-oriented commercial areas of 500 feet; and Establish logical new transportation links at the first available opportunity, to avoid sacrificing future options.
The City should maintain flexibility in implementing these strategies. Requirements for improvements to establish a continuous grid street system should be determined on a case-by-case basis. The public benefit of new roadways should be considered in the context of the relative impact to individual property owners and the potential detriment to residential neighborhoods. New public street rights-of-way should be located to preserve the economic value of adjacent private property to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, the local access street grid should be designed to discourage commercial and industrial traffic in areas designated for residential uses. The provisions of this policy do not extend to a street connection in the Sumner Avenue/ Alder Avenue corridor to connect areas south of SR 410 with neighborhoods north of SR 410. The residents of the City do not desire this connection. The costs of the project would not provide adequate benefit to the City. 3.7
The City of Sumner discourages the use of private streets and will not agree to maintain them.
3.8
Retain existing and identify, acquire, and preserve rights-of-way to implement the Transportation Plan. The City intends using the Transportation Plan’s recommendations to identify current and future transportation system needs. The City has identified specific transportation corridors where rights-of-way should be protected to serve potential short- or long-range transportation system needs. Methods to acquire and preserve rights-of-way may include: • • • •
Requiring dedication of rights-of-way as a condition for development when the need for such rights-of-way is linked to the development; Requesting donations of rights-of-way to the public; Purchasing rights-of-way by paying fair market value; and Acquiring development rights and easements from property owners.
The City also seeks protecting rights-of-way from encroachment by any structure, substantial landscaping, or other obstruction to preserve comprehensive plan recommendations. Protection methods may include minimum setback requirements for property improvements to allow for sufficient right-of-way for
92
roadway expansion, and development of specific guidelines regarding installation and maintenance of landscaping within the public right-of-way. 3.9
Limit and provide access to the street network in a manner consistent with the function and purpose of each roadway. The City will seek to consolidate and minimize the addition of new access points to State highways, arterials, and collectors, as appropriate. This will help preserve capacity and improve safety of the highway and arterial system, reduce interference with traffic flows on arterials, and discourage through traffic on local streets. To achieve this level of access control, the City: • • • • •
3.10
Supports the State’s controlled access policy on all State highway facilities; May acquire access rights along some arterials and collectors; Encourages and may require landowners to work together to prepare comprehensive access plans that emphasize internal circulation and discourage multiple access points to major roadways; Encourages consolidation of access in developing commercial and highdensity residential areas through shared use of driveways, local access streets, and cross-access corridors; and Requires defined access and circulation systems as part of subarea land use plans.
Strive to efficiently operate the transportation system through Transportation Systems Management (TSM) strategies. These strategies will include: • • •
Signal interconnect systems, signal coordination and synchronization, and other signal systems to ease traffic flow; Turn lanes and pockets to allow turning vehicles to move out of through traffic lanes; and Access control for arterials and major collectors to minimize disruptions in traffic flow.
3.11
Maintain the existing and future arterial and street system and associated facilities (e.g., sidewalks, transit stops, landscaping) through an ongoing Pavement Management System (PMS) and traffic operations program.
3.12
Coordinate with service providers on the location of major utility and transportation corridors and the construction of roadway improvements. Such coordination will help minimize transportation disruptions caused by construction. In addition, this will reduce costs and maintain pavement integrity.
93
3.13
Implement a systematic program for defining, designing, and implementing traffic control and pedestrian safety improvements in residential areas of the City. The City will define and prioritize locations for such programs based on: • • • • •
3.14
Traffic engineering studies Traffic speeds Safety and accident data Truck impacts Input from the community
Accommodate the transportation needs of special events and assess the costs of such accommodation to the event promoter. The City recognizes that special events such as fairs, parades, athletic events, and large meetings may burden the transportation system beyond its ordinary capacity. The City also recognizes that such events can expand the culture and quality of life of the community. The City will seek to provide for such events by making appropriate provision such as bus transportation, traffic control, and temporary street closures. The City will notify affected businesses through mailings and the Sumner Promotions Association of Street Closures for special events. The City may assess some or all of the costs of such provisions will be assessed to the promoters or organizers of such events.
Pedestrians and Bicycles Pedestrian and bicycle facilities provide for alternatives to automobiles for travel to/from and within Sumner. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities are important to promote safety and minimize impacts on overall operation of the transportation system. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities provide access and circulation within neighborhoods and connections to schools, parks, commercial areas, and community facilities.
4.
Promote use of alternative transportation modes by providing an interconnected system of pedestrian and bicycle facilities. 4.1
Design standards for principal and minor arterials will include provisions for travel by pedestrians and bicyclists, based on the Sumner/Pacific Master Trail Plan and the Sumner Transportation Plan.
4.2
Collector roads and local streets should be designed and constructed to facilitate access and circulation by pedestrians and bicyclists within the neighborhoods and provide connections to schools, parks, community facilities, transit, and commercial districts. Development application will provide for convenient nonmotorized connection where feasible.
4.3
Sidewalks will be provided on both sides of all City streets unless special circumstances, such as topography or environmental constraints, make it cost prohibitive as determined by the Public Works Director. 94
4.4
The City will pursue the construction of interim asphalt walkways/sidewalks along city streets that are used by a considerable number of children walking to/from school. Interim asphalt walkways/sidewalks should include, but not be limited to, Parker Road, Elm Street, and 160th Street E. The construction of interim walkways/sidewalks is not intended to preclude future full street improvements.
4.5
A system of separated, multi-purpose trails should be constructed to serve transportation and recreation needs of the community. It should also connect with adjacent communities to facilitate regional connectivity. The trail system and connections to the arterial, collector, and other pedestrian and bicycle facilities should be made per the Sumner/Pacific Master Trail Plan.
Rail, Transit, and Transportation Demand Management In order to provide for transportation alternatives the City supports use of rail and bus transportation to reduce transportation demands on streets and highways.
5.
Develop and expand an integrated system of public transportation alternatives and demand management programs to provide mobility alternatives and reduce the need to expand the general capacity of arterials and collector streets in the City. 5.1
Continue working with Pierce Transit and Sound Transit to expand and enhance bus transit service to regional destinations and to serve growing areas of Sumner. Key connections that should be considered for new or expanded service include: • • • • • •
Between Sumner and Auburn/Kent/Green Valley employment centers; To connect Lakeland Hills residential area to Sumner and regional transit service; To serve travel between Sumner, Bonney Lake, and Cascadia development area; and To serve travel within Sumner and connections to the commuter rail station. Between the Sumner MIC and local and regional areas of high density residential development. To serve travel within Sumner and connections to the commuter rail station and the MIC.
5.2
Continue working with Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, WSDOT, and local agencies to enhance access to the regional commuter rail system and Sumner’s commuter rail station.
5.3
Preserve existing railroad rights-of-way within the City’s Urban Growth Area and connections to the national rail system. 95
5.4
Support construction of improved pedestrian and bicycle connections with local and regional transit service. Work to provide transit stops and shelters along arterials.
5.5
Support WSDOT and transit providers in implementing the regional plan for HOV lanes on SR 167 and SR 410, consistent with the State Highway Systems Plan.
5.6
Support and coordinate with Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and WSDOT on the development of an expanded regional park-and-ride system to support use of alternative transportation modes in the Sumner area. Seek to provide tax credits or other incentives for allowing public parking on private property.
5.7
Enhance safety and operations of rail service (freight and passenger) through grade separation of roadways or improving at-grade crossings
5.8
Promote programs that reduce the demands on the transportation system through the following strategies: • • • • •
5.9
Encourage the use of HOV programs – buses, carpools, and vanpools – through both private programs and under the direction of Pierce Transit and Sound Transit; Promote flexible work schedules allowing the use of transit, carpools, or vanpools; Promote reduced employee travel during the daily peak travel periods through flexible work schedules and programs to allow employees to work part- or full-time at home or at an alternate work site closer to home; Encourage employers to provide TDM measures in the work place through such programs as preferential parking for HOVs, improved access for transit vehicles, and employee incentives for using HOVs; and Implement the provisions of the State Commute Trip Reduction Act.
Ensure mobility for all residents within the UGA, including the elderly and persons with disabilities by providing an accessible and affordable transportation system. The City of Sumner will ensure that its transportation system meets the requirements outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The City will apply design standards that respond to the needs of persons who are elderly, disabled, or have other special needs. The City will identify existing transportation facilities and locations that are not accessible or usable by such persons and will improve such facilities. The City will encourage public and private transportation operators to fit the special needs of such persons.
5.10
Explore the feasibility of a trolley system that would connect the Historic Downtown with eastern sections of Main Street. 96
Land Use and Environmental Considerations To maintain and improve the quality of Sumner, the City continues to work to blend transportation, land use, and the environment. Design and implementation of transportation infrastructure and changes in the land use plan must be compatible with each other.
6.
Establish a transportation system with minimal environmental impact and energy consumption that provides for a high quality of life to be enjoyed by the citizens. 6.1
Design transportation facilities within the Sumner UGA minimizing adverse environmental impacts resulting from both their construction and operation. The City of Sumner will fulfill this need by: • • • • •
6.2
Ensure that transportation system improvements are compatible with adjacent land uses and will minimize potential conflicts. The City will: • • • • •
6.3
Considering environmental costs of development and operation of the transportation system; Aligning and locating transportation facilities away from environmentally sensitive areas; Working with the State to incorporate appropriate structural and vegetative sound abatement as part of highway widening projects; Mitigating unavoidable environmental impacts wherever possible; and Soliciting and incorporating the concerns and comments of interested parties.
Prevent new residential areas from fronting on arterials, unless no other options exist; Incorporate transit, pedestrian, and bicycle access to major developments; Provide landscaping and noise buffers along major roadways; Provide facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians to access transit; and Provide changes to site plans to encourage pedestrian travel.
Support continuing efforts for improving air quality throughout the Sumner area and develop a transportation system compatible with the goals of the Federal and State clean air acts. Federal and State legislation have made clean air a priority. The City will: •
Support and enforce vehicle emissions testing and cleaner burning fuels program;
97
• • • •
Coordinate with Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and other jurisdictions on Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) programs for major employers in the Sumner planning area; Require air quality studies of future major developments on impacts created by site-generated traffic; Promote other TDM Programs; and Work with the private and other public sectors to introduce cleaner burning fuels for the existing motorized fleet, and vehicles powered by alternate fuel sources.
6.4
Allow major changes to the land use plan only when those proposals accompany specific analyses showing how the transportation system can adequately support existing and proposed development needs in a financially balanced manner.
6.5
Provide incentives for the use of low impact development techniques that will reduce impervious surfaces, provide for stormwater infiltration, and protect the natural environment and systems.
Program Financing and Implementation Without adequate funding or implementation strategies, the City’s Transportation Plan will not meet the needs of the community. The funding and implementation program must leverage the available resources to meet the City’s transportation priorities. The strategies must also match with other City goals and policies, as well as regional, state, and federal requirements related to protection of the environment.
7.
Implement the transportation plan to meet the needs of the community in an orderly manner based on community and regional priorities, benefits, and cost allocation. 7.1
Prioritize City improvement projects and participation in State and regional projects based on the following objectives: • • • • •
7.2
Transportation safety of all modes; Maintenance and preservation of existing transportation system facilities; Upgrade or expand facilities needed to support growth within Sumner and maintain transportation concurrency; Expand facilities and services to improve connectivity of the transportation system; and Environmentally beneficial.
Fund and implement the Transportation Plan based on the relative benefits to various user groups. Funding programs that will be considered by the City include: •
State and Federal grant programs; 98
• • • • •
Development mitigation; Local city transportation and general tax funds; Local Improvement Districts (LIDs); Expanded business license fees; and Other local option taxes fees that are currently allowed or that may be available in the future.
7.3
Continue to develop partnerships with WSDOT, Pierce County, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and local agencies to define and fund improvement projects and programs in the Transportation Plan.
7.4
Ensure that new growth pays a proportionate share of the costs of transportation facilities needed to support growth. New development may contribute to the costs of needed improvements through: • • • • •
7.5
SEPA-based mitigation TIFs Frontage Improvements LIDs Other means allowed by State and local law
Ensure that the annual Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is financially feasible, leverages available City Funds, and is consistent with the priorities of the Transportation Plan. The TIP used by the City to implement TIPs. It is used by the PSRC in developing the Regional TIP for major system elements. The TIP is used to program use of city funding. A financially balanced Six-Year TIP is needed to evaluate the adequacy of the transportation system through concurrency. The TIP also establishes the framework for development review under SEPA. The annual update of the TIP is also used to reevaluate project priorities based on changes in the availability of funding or development activity.
7.6
If probable funding falls short of meeting the identified needs of the plan, the City will review and update the Plan, as needed. The City will reassess improvement needs, priorities, level of service standards, and the land use plan. GMA requires that the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan balance transportation improvement needs with the land use plan, level of service standards, and available funding. The current plan identifies adequate funding, but relies in part on grants, potential development mitigation, and formation of local improvement districts. If, over time, these options do not provide adequate funding, the City will need to reassess its Plan. 99
7.7
Approve major land use changes only when those proposals accompany specific documentation or plans showing how the transportation system can adequately support existing and proposed development needs based on concurrency, access, safety, and alternative travel modes.
7.8
Continue planning for transportation facilities within Sumner and its UGA on a continuing basis meeting changes in land use decisions.
7.9
Obtain regional designation as a manufacturing/industrial center to increase access to state and federal transportation improvement grant funding.
The City will update the Transportation Plan whenever the Sumner Comprehensive Plan is revised or updated in such a way that it affects the Transportation Plan. The City will also revise the Transportation Plan if projects outside the City’s control, such as special transportation related projects led by the WSDOT, PSRC, transit agencies, or Pierce County, cause a fundamental shift in transportation services throughout the UGA. Manufacturing/Industrial Center Transportation Connections The Sumner-Pacific Manufacturing/Industrial Center (MIC) is a primary hub for regional movement of goods as a gateway to national and international overseas markets. Transportation connectivity to the region is critical for success of this area as an economic and employment center.
8.
Maintain the Sumner-Pacific MIC as a primary hub for regional goods movement and as a gateway to national and overseas markets. Support the integrated development and operation of trucking and rail terminals to enhance the freight transportation system and strengthen the Cities’ economic base. Consider the needs for delivery and collection of goods at local businesses by truck. Develop a permit program, improvement district, or other revenue source to ensure ongoing maintenance and repair of infrastructure impacted by commercial freight and related businesses. 8.1
Identify and address areas within the MIC or connecting corridors where efficient truck access and circulation is hindered by infrastructure gaps and inadequate design; ensure future transportation improvements address the needs of large trucks, including (but not limited to) turning lanes, acceleration lanes and climbing lanes.
8.2
Support priority funding for strategic transportation investments that improve freight mobility within and to the MIC.
8.3
Design non-motorized facilities with the MIC in a manner that minimizes potential conflicts with trucks and trains to allow for the safe and efficient 100
movement of both freight and people.

CAPITAL FACILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Growth Management Act requires that comprehensive plans include a Capital Facilities Element which addresses the capital facility needs sufficient to support the designated land use intensities. The following policies establish the levels of service for the necessary capital facilities and the policy directives which implement the specific capital facility items. Public services have also been included because of their close ties to capital facility plan development. Comprehensive analysis of Sumner's facilities is provided in the Draft EIS, Final EIS, and in the various capital facility plans prepared for Sumner addressing sewer, water, and drainage.

UTILITIES ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Growth Management Act requires that a utility element address "the general location, proposed location, and capacity of all existing and proposed utilities, including, but not limited to electrical lines, telecommunication lines, and natural gas lines." Private utilities such as Puget Sound Energy, Qwest, U.S. West Cellular and Cellular One provide natural gas, electric, standard telephone, and cellular telephone services respectively. Issues identified through the course of environmental review include coordinated land use and facility planning, coordination of utility construction, conservation of resources, and potential health effects. A discussion of these issues is found in the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement. Goals, policies and objectives regarding utilities are provided below as well as existing and proposed facility maps where available. GOALS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
1.
Facilitate the development of natural gas utilities at the appropriate levels of service to accommodate the growth that is anticipated to occur in Sumner. 1.1
Promote when reasonably feasible, co-location of new public and private utility distribution facilities in shared trenches and coordination of construction timing to minimize construction-related disruptions to the public and reduce the cost to the public of utility delivery. The City shall provide timely effective notice to utilities to encourage coordination of public and private utility trenching activities for new construction and maintenance and repair of existing roads.
1.2
Assist service providers to ensure land will be made available for the location of natural gas lines, including location within transportation corridors.
1.3.
Promote the extension of natural gas distribution lines to and within the Urban Growth Area. The City shall coordinate land use and facility planning with service providers to allow eventual siting and construction of natural gas distribution lines within rights-of-way which are being dedicated or within roads which are being constructed or reconstructed.
1.4
1.3.1
Periodically review and amend existing regulations, including sensitive area regulations, as necessary to allow maintenance, repair, installation and replacement of gas lines.
1.3.2
When requested provide the natural gas utility with updates of population, employment and development projections. The City will seek to jointly evaluate actual patterns and rates of growth, and compare such patterns and rates to demand forecasts.
Encourage communication among the City, Washington Utilities and Transportation
119
Commission (WUTC), and utilities regulated by the WUTC, regarding service provision concurrently or in advance of demand.
2.
1.5
Encourage system design practices intended to minimize the number and duration of interruptions to customer service.
1.6
Coordinate with the utility provider to determine if a Memoranda of Understanding outlining expectations of the provider as well as the City would be beneficial.
Plan and allow for regional and local improvements to electric facilities and coordinate service plans for facility development. 2.1
Make decisions with respect to electric utility facilities so that safe, adequate and efficient availability of electrical service in other jurisdictions is not negatively affected.
2.2
Accommodate additions and improvements to electric utilities in a manner consistent with the needs and resources of Sumner as well as other jurisdictions. In addition, the City recognizes that decisions regarding utility corridors and facilities cannot be made solely on the basis of local considerations if multi-jurisdictional or regional interests would be affected.
2.3
Encourage Puget Sound Energy to make additions to and improvements of electric utility facilities that provide adequate capacity for future planned growth. 2.3.1
When requested, provide the electric utility with annual updates of population, employment and development projections. The City of Sumner and the electric utility will seek to jointly evaluate actual patterns and rates of growth, and compare such patterns and rates to electrical demand forecasts.
2.4
Recognize the need for electric utility facilities that are sufficient to support economic development.
2.5
Coordinate the formulation and periodic update of the utility element (and relevant implementing development regulations) with adjacent jurisdictions.
2.6
Coordinate and seek to cooperate, with other jurisdictions in the implementation of multi-jurisdictional electric facility additions and improvements. Such coordination and cooperation should include efforts to coordinate the procedures for making specific land use decisions to achieve consistency in timing and substantive requirements.
2.7
Encourage the joint use of utility corridors, provided that such joint use is consistent with limitations as may be prescribed by applicable law and prudent utility practice.
120
3.
2.8
Provide timely and effective notice to utilities of the construction, maintenance or repair of streets, roads, highways or other facilities, and coordinate such work with the serving utilities to ensure that utility needs are appropriately considered.
2.9
Work with the utility to appropriately place electric utility facilities on public rightsof-way.
2.10
Encourage underground utility networks in new developments in the City. In addition, where significant work in existing rights-of-way will occur, the City could investigate with service providers the possibility of buried lines where existing overhead lines are presently located. Undergrounding of distribution lines would be in accordance with Puget Sound Energy applicable tariffs on file with the WUTC.
2.11
Coordinate with the utility provider to determine if a Memoranda of Understanding outlining expectations of the provider as well as the City would be beneficial.
Coordinate with communication utilities to ensure adequate telephone services and high speed technology services in the community. 3.1
Allow for improvements and additions to communication facilities needed to accommodate growth. 3.1.1
When requested, provide telephone service providers with annual update of population, employment and development projections to ensure appropriate service will be available as needed.
3.2
Strive to notify telephone service providers of construction work in the public rightsof-way which may affect telephone system equipment.
3.3
Encourage underground utility networks in new developments in the City. In addition, where significant work in existing rights-of-way will occur, the City could investigate with service providers the possibility of buried lines where existing overhead lines are presently located.
3.4
Maintain appropriate, communication facility regulations in the Zoning Code and ensure that proposal review considers setbacks, land use compatibility, fencing and vegetative buffering, and other concerns.
3.5
Coordinate with the utility provider to determine if a Memoranda of Understanding outlining expectations of the provider as well as the City would be beneficial.
121
4.
5.
Ensure environmentally sensitive, safe and reliable service, and conservation of energy. 4.1
Facilitate and encourage conservation of resources to delay the need for additional facilities.
4.2
Facilitate the conversion to cost-effective and environmentally sensitive alternative technologies and energy sources.
4.3
Support development of a widespread gaseous fuel infrastructure to provide more options to reduce vehicular pollution. One example is conversion of the City's fleet to cleaner fuels.
4.4
Conserve the use of energy in the City's own facilities.
4.5
Support the planting of trees along street edges and parking lots and large expanses of asphalt to create a pleasing environment and to increase energy efficiency by reducing heat absorbed by asphalt that increases ambient temperatures.
Facilitate the provision of reliable utility service in a way that balances potential safety and health impacts and allows for a fair and reasonable price for the utility's product. 5.1
Encourage active City and utility participation in the development of regional and statewide policies regarding exposure to EMF (electromagnetic fields).
5.2
Review periodically, the state of scientific research on EMF, and make changes to policies if the situation warrants.
5.3
Review potential power density, height and setback standards and consider an ordinance which regulates communication towers to address potential health effects.
