Administrative Services Department
Memo Date : July 28, 2021 To : Mayor and City Council From : Woody Edvalson, Administrative Services Director/Emergency Management
Coordinator Re : Appointed Position for Emergency Management
At a recent Council Safety Committee meeting, the Committee invited a discussion with staff regarding emergency management for the City and the need for dedicated staffing to pursue a greater degree of disaster preparedness for the City. The Council Safety Committee asked to have this as a topic of discussion at a Council workshop.
History. The emergency management function was traditionally a role of the Bonney Lake Fire Department. In 2000, following a vote of the citizens, Bonney Lake became part of Fire District #22 (now East Pierce Fire & Rescue), the role of emergency management director was transferred by city ordinance to the District’s Fire Chief. With the succession of Fire Chiefs, changeover in fire department personnel assigned to emergency management, and the lack of focus on the City’s part regarding emergency management, the emergency management role and its importance was lost in the shuffle. During this same period, many of the cities/towns in the County, including Bonney Lake, contracted with Pierce County Department of Emergency Management (PCDEM) for some planning and support services and at least one plan (the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan) was updated and adopted by the City. But again, turnover of employees and change in PCDEM leadership resulted in the eventual discontinuation of the contract by the County. In 2016, responsibility for emergency management was reestablished by ordinance under the Mayor’s direction. Responsibility was given to the Administrative Services Director to work on the emergency management organization of the City. With the Mayor and Council’s encouragement, the Director entered into conversations with representatives of several East Pierce County cities and towns. The group creating an Interlocal agreement to pool some resources regarding emergency management, particularly planning, training and community outreach. The Interlocal (ILA) proposed a shared full-time employee under direction of the City of Puyallup to be funded by the Cities/Towns of Bonney Lake, Sumner, Buckley, Orting, Wilkeson and Carbonado. Funding for the Interlocal agreement was denied in the Council’s biennial budget process. However, upon reconsideration, the Council approved the ILA in November 2020 and funding was granted for Fiscal Year 2021. The ILA is currently operational, but also needs continuing funding for 2022 and
Page 1
Agenda Packet p. 13 of 53
beyond. Two part-time Puyallup employees have been hired, and work on plans and training for the member cities has commenced.
The Now. Even with participation in the ILA or EPIC-EM (East Pierce Interlocal Coalition for Emergency Management), the City of Bonney Lake’s staff dedicated to coordinating our City effort is limited to the available time of its management team, particularly one department director who has volunteered to be the coordinator of the City’s efforts. The work with EPIC-EM will help update our plans such as the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Continuity of Government Plan, the Continuity of Operations Plan and the EOC Operations Plan. However, each of these plans requires individual tailoring to our City and their supporting departments, which then must be followed by further implementation and training. The coordinator must rely on the participation and support of other department heads and their employees to accomplish specific tasks. As these efforts are an added responsibility to the load of the department head coordinator, it is simply unrealistic to think that Bonney Lake’s level of preparedness will increase if things remain the same as they are now. The City of Bonney Lake needs dedicated staff time toward emergency management and preparedness—not only at its head, but also distributed throughout the organization.
The Need. With respect to emergency preparedness, Bonney Lake is like many cities and towns. The City has competent, dedicated staff who in an emergency do their best to respond and manage the situation and impacts. The staff has fairly robust systems in place to deal with the emergencies that occur fairly frequently like winter storms or wind storms. However, City staff were severely tested with the Sumner Grade Fire last summer. Disaster was averted and gaps in our capabilities and planning were identified for such an event, but no one person is tasked with and has the time or the authority to follow-up across the organization.
Recommendation. I recommend the City of Bonney Lake hire at least one full-time employee whose time would be solely dedicated to emergency management and coordinating the City’s efforts in emergency management. This would include coordinating and participating in the efforts of departments and working with their employees to accomplish the City’s goals with EPIC-EM and the City’s further internal goals for emergency management. With a full-time employee, the department directors could focus on the emergency management work of their departments and the department contributions to the City’s overall preparedness. I further recommend that the employee be placed within the Executive Department as a direct- report to the City Administrator. Placing the employee in the Executive Department would give emphasis to the program and even more referent power for the employee to accomplish the mission of Bonney Lake preparedness. Organizational placement is ultimately a decision for the Mayor and City Administrator.
Salary. I recommend that a salary survey be done to establish the appropriate compensation for the position. However, for illustration purposes I present the relative costs of hiring an emergency management position that would be compensated at the same level as an associate planner. The lowest starting salary is $6,034 per month, plus benefits, which for a full-time employee would be approaching an additional 30% for a total benefited monthly cost of $7,844 or an annual cost of $94,132.
Finally, I recommend the City Council approve the use of monies to fund the 2022 Fiscal Year participation of Bonney Lake in EPIC-EM. Approximately $30,000. Will be required.

Agenda Subject: Eastown Permitted Uses and Development Regulations
Full Title/Motion: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of Bonney Lake, Pierce County, Washington, amending Chapters 18.29 and Section 18.08.020 of the Bonney Lake Municipal Code and the corresponding portions of Ordinance numbers 748, 788, 851, 908, 1099, 1230, 1416, 1428, 1483, 1520, 1533, 1568, 1584, 1634, 1644, and 1651 and repealing Chapter 18.33 of the Bonney Lake Municipal Code and the corresponding portions of Ordinance numbers 1454, 1524, 1634, and 1641 related to permitted uses and development regulations for Eastown.
Administrative Recommendation: Approve
Background Summary: The primary purpose for Ordinance D21-74 is to expand the list of permitted light industrial/manufacturing uses to support current development activity in Eastown. The amendments will reduce the complexity and increase flexibility. Currently, the City’s code includes two different chapters specific to Eastown (Chapter 18.29 – Eastown District and Chapter 18.33 – Eastown Development Standards). The ordinance repeals Chapter 18.33; putting all of the regulations specific to Eastown in one chapter. Additionally, the current standards assume a different development pattern than the one that is occurring and relies on prescriptive standards. The amendments establish standards that are more supportive of light industrial development and remove the prescriptive approach in favor of a more flexible approach. Finally, the ordinance will further the creation of additional family wage jobs.

Section 2. Chapter 18.29 of the Bonney Lake Municipal Code and the corresponding portions of Ordinance No. 748 § 1, Ordinance No. 788 § 1, Ordinance No. 851 § 36, Ordinance No. 908 § 1, Ordinance No. 1099 §§ 26 and 27, Ordinance No. 1230 §§ 2, 8, and 18, Ordinance No. 1416 § 9 (Appx. A), Ordinance No. 1428 § 1, and Ordinance No. 1634 §§ 3 are each hereby amended to read as follows:
18.29.010 General intent. The intent of this zone is to provide appropriately located areas for uses which shall be located along major thoroughfares (SR 410) and dominated by auto-oriented uses. The Eastown district zoning classification is intended to provide appropriately located areas for various land intensive and/or limited service commercial establishments, office uses, major retail stores and service establishments offering commodities and services required by residents of the city and its surrounding market area, wholesale distribution facilities, research, and light industrial enterprises, and compatible commercial services that enhance the city’s economic base and provide jobs for residents of the area that are complementary and are not detrimental to either existing or proposed industrial uses, or neighboring commercial and residential districts. which are complementary to neighboring commercial and residential districts. Typical uses in this classification are the combination of major retail establishments and storage, distribution and assembly of products from previously prepared materials, including business and light industrial parks which do not generate excessive noise, odors, dust, smoke, heavy traffic congestion or pollution of water or air.
18.29.020 Uses permitted outright General provisions. Repealed by Ord. 1416.
A. These standards shall apply to all properties located within the boundaries of the Eastown Subarea as established in the Bonney Lake comprehensive plan.
B. The requirements of Chapter 18.31 BLMC – Commercial Standards shall not apply to properties within the Eastown zoning classification, except as specifically adopted in this chapter.
C. All developments shall comply with the future road network as adopted as part of the Mapped Streets in Chapter 12.30 BLMC.
18.29.030 Accessory commercial use Building Design Standards.
Repealed by Ord. 1416.
Page 2 of 20
Comment [JS1]: All but one of these standards exist in BLMC 18.33.020 which is being repealed. The new standard exempts properties in Eastown from complying with Chapter 18.31 BLMC so that there is only one chapter that establishes the development standards for Eastown instead of having to refer to multiple code chapters that are sometime in conflict or are inconsistent.

Page 3 of 20
Comment [JS2]: These standards were principally taken from BLMC 18.33.070 that already apply in Eastown. The standards have been modified to better suit light industrial developments while still requiring some design elements on the façade of the building facing a street. The standards have been written in a way to provide maximum flexibility to the developer for addressing the requirements without creating a mandatory approach.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
Having considered in detail both the oral and documentary evidence received concerning the update to the City of Bonney Lake’s Eastown permitted uses and development regulations ordinance, the Bonney Lake City Council now makes and adopts the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Public Participation
1) The Bonney Lake Planning Commission held a public meeting to discuss the amendments on June 2, 2021.
2) The Bonney Lake Planning Commission held a public hearing July 7, 2021 and recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments.
3) The City issued an official notice of the public hearing on June 11, 2021, which is twenty-six days prior to the hearing.
4) The notice of public hearing provided a fifteen day comment period, which concluded on July 7, 2021.
5) Notice of the hearing was also published in the newspaper on June 16, 2021 as required by BLMC 14.140.040(D).
State Environmental Policy Act
6) The amendments to Eastown permitted uses and development regulations are considered a non-project action as defined in WAC 197-11-704(2)(b) under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
7) The Comprehensive Plan Update & Draft Environmental Impact Statement Bonney Lake, Washington dated July 1,1994 (1994 DEIS) was prepared by the City of Bonney Lake to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the future growth envisioned in the City’s 1995 Comprehensive Plan as required by the Planning Enabling Act (Chapter 35A.63 RCW) and the Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A).
8) The 1994 DEIS include a no action alternative and three different growth scenario alternatives categorized as low, moderate and high. The moderate growth scenario, identified as Alternative 2, envisioned the development of a proposed industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 from 214th Avenue East to 220th Avenue East. The high growth scenario, identified as Alternative 3, was similar to Alternative 2, but extended

the industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 out to 234th Avenue East. Both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 were included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement Comprehensive Plan Update Bonney Lake, Washington date November 18, 1994 (1994 FEIS) prepared by the City of Bonney Lake.
9) The 1994 FEIS did not include a specified preferred alternative or growth scenario alternative, but provided that “[I]mplementing actions will eventually revise sensitive area, landmark preservation, zoning, subdivision, shoreline, capital improvement program, and other Bonney Lake ordinances and regulations to comply with the preferred growth scenario’s polices.” (Pg. 4)
10) Ordinance 697 adopted May 30, 1995, which officially adopted the 1995 Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan did establish a preferred alternative which was a hybrid of primarily Alternatives 2 and 3 in the 1994 DEIS and FEIS. Under this preferred alternative, the industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 was identified to extend from 214th Avenue East to 234th Avenue East and labeled “Light Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Heavy Commercial Sales.”
11) As part of the preparation of the City’s 1996 Comprehensive Plan amendments, the City of Bonney Lake prepared a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan Amendments dated July 16, 1996 (1996 SDEIS), which maintained the plan to develop the area along SR-410 from 214th Avenue East to 234th Avenue East as an area for Light Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Heavy Commercial Sales. This designation was included in the preferred alternative in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan Amendments dated August 30, 1996 (1996 FEIS) prepared by the City of Bonney Lake.
State Agency Review
12) Development regulations are defined as the controls placed on development or land use activities by a county or city, including, but not limited to, zoning ordinances, critical areas ordinances, shoreline master programs, official controls, planned unit development ordinances, subdivision ordinances, and binding site plan ordinances together with any amendments thereto pursuant to RCW 36.70A.030.
13) The City submitted the required notice of intent to adopt the proposed ordinance to the Department of Commerce as required by RCW 36.70A.106 on May 28, 2021.

SUBJECT: Eastown Development Regulations Amendments
I. PROJECT SUMMARY
In March of 2015, the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) released a study entitled An Industrial Lands Analysis for the Central Puget Sound Region (the Study), which included an analysis of the economic impact of industrial lands within the Puget Sound Region. The Study found that between 2012 and 2040 the Puget Sound Region is expected to add 83,900 industrial jobs and in 2012 these jobs had an average annual salary of $80,000.1 In addition to creating jobs, the Study found that local governments with existing industrial areas received approximately $190 million in direct tax revenues2 and secondary tax impacts.3
Given the significant economic benefits associated with industrial lands development, the Study identified measures local jurisdiction could take to preserve and strengthen the competitiveness of industrial lands. These measures included limiting non-industrial users on industrial identified lands and simplifying regulations.4
The Eastown subarea has been identified as contributing to the supply of industrial lands within the Central Puget Sound Region in the Study. Eastown is uniquely position to provide capacity for small scale or “artisan manufacturing, flex-office, and start-up manufacturing companies.
Ordinance D21-74 will amend the land use matrix, codified in BLMC 18.08.020, to remove a number of uses that are inconsistent with a light industrial lands classification and add a number of additional uses to support the development of a light industrial area. The ordinance will also update the development standards to support light industrial development, improve flexibility, and to mitigate the impacts associated with this type of development. The objective of the amendments is to preserve properties within the Eastown Subarea for light industrial and manufacturing uses as envisioned in the City’s comprehensive plan Bonney Lake 2035. Additionally, the amendments area need to have Eastown designated as Countywide

Manufacturing and Industrial Centers (MIC). These designation will increase the City’s competitiveness for grants and will bring greater regional awareness to Eastown.
II. BACKGROUND
A. Site Characteristics
This is not a site specific proposal, but would apply to all properties within the Eastown zoning classification, which is the area shown in brown on Figure 1. Please note that as part of the 2021 Zoning Map Amendments, the area covered by the black hash mark will be removed from the Eastown zoning classification as the area is no longer in the Eastown Subarea, but is now in the Midtown Center.
Figure 1 – Eastown Zone with Landmarks
B. Surrounding Properties
The proposed amendments to the development standards codified in Chapter 18.29 BLMC and the permitted uses identified in the land use matrix codified in BLMC 18.08.020 are not a site specific proposal. However, the properties that are located north south, and east of the properties within the Eastown Subarea are located in unincorporated Pierce County. The adjacent zoning classifications in unincorporated Pierce County include Rural 5, Rural 10, and Agricultural Resource Lands. The properties to the west of the Eastown Subarea are currently zoned Eastown as well, but will be rezoned to C-2 as part of the 2021 Zoning Map Amendments.

C. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
Under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) the adoption of this Ordinance is a non- project action as defined by WAC 197-11-704(2)(b) and subject to review under SEPA. The Comprehensive Plan Update & Draft Environmental Impact Statement Bonney Lake, Washington dated July 1,1994 (1994 DEIS) was prepared by the City of Bonney Lake to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the future growth envisioned in the City’s 1995 Comprehensive Plan as required by the Planning Enabling Act (Chapter 35A.63 RCW) and the Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A). The 1994 DEIS include a no action alternative and three different growth scenario alternatives categorized as low, moderate and high. The moderate growth scenario, identified as Alternative 2, envisioned the development of a proposed industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 from 214th
Avenue East to 220th Avenue East. The high growth scenario, identified as Alternative 3, was similar to Alternative 2, but extended the industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 out to 234th Avenue East. Both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 were included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement Comprehensive Plan Update Bonney Lake, Washington date November 18, 1994 (1994 FEIS) prepared by the City of Bonney Lake. The 1994 FEIS did not include a specified preferred alternative or growth scenario alternative, but provided that:
Implementing actions will eventually revise sensitive area, landmark preservation, zoning, subdivision, shoreline, capital improvement program, and other Bonney Lake ordinances and regulations to comply with the preferred growth scenario’s polices. (Pg. 4)
However, Ordinance 697 adopted May 30, 1995, which officially adopted the 1995 Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan did establish a preferred alternative which was a hybrid of primarily Alternatives 2 and 3 in the 1994 DEIS and FEIS. Under this preferred alternative, the industrial/business use corridor along SR-410 was identified to extend from 214th Avenue East to 234th Avenue East and labeled “Light Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Heavy Commercial Sales.”

Figure 2: 1995 Comprehensive Plan - Preferred Alternative5
As part of the preparation of the City’s 1996 Comprehensive Plan amendments, the City of Bonney Lake prepared a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan Amendments dated July 16, 1996 (1996 SDEIS), which maintained the plan to develop the area along SR-410 from 214th Avenue East to 234th
Avenue East as an area for Light Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Heavy Commercial Sales. This designation was included in the preferred alternative in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan Amendments dated August 30, 1996 (1996 FSEIS) prepared by the City of Bonney Lake.

After reviewing the above referenced environmental impact statements prepared under SEPA, the City has determined the proposed amendments to the Eastown development regulations part of the implementation action to facilitate the development of an industrial/business employment the area between 214th Avenue East and 234th Avenue that was evaluated in these environmental documents. Further, after reviewing the potential impacts evaluated in these documents, the City has determined that adoption of the proposed amendments would not result in new significant environmental impacts.
Since the City has determined that it is acting on the same proposal evaluated in the previously prepared environmental documents and that there are no new significant environmental impacts, a new threshold determination was not required to be issued pursuant to WAC 197-11-600(3) and WAC 197-11-310(1). Additionally, since the City is acting on the same proposal a formal notice of adoption was not required pursuant to WAC 197-11-600(4).
D. Shoreline Code
No portion of the area within the Eastown zoning classification overlaps with the shoreline jurisdiction.7
E. Critical Areas Code
There are very few undevelopable critical areas8 within the boundaries of the Eastown Subarea, which makes the area suited to light manufacturing and warehousing facilities. Known critical areas include Fennel Creek, which is shown as the blue line in Figure 2. East of 233rd Avenue East, Fennel Creek is considered a seasonal stream and is within a permanently protected environmental critical area tract. West of 233rd Avenue East, the portion of Fennel Creek located within the Eastown Subarea boundaries, is classified as a perennial stream. The other known undevelopable critical areas include the wetland west of the Sunset RV property, delineated wetlands primarily located in the northeastern corner of the Compass Pointe property, and the wetland located at the Fennel Creek Industrial Site. The wetland on the Fennel Creek Industrial site is already located within a permanently protect environmental critical area tract.
7 Areas subject to the Shoreline Code are all properties within 200 feet of Lake Tapps and the portion of Fennel Creek below Victor Falls.
8 Undevelopable critical areas are designated wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, Class 1 landslide hazardous areas, and associated buffers pursuant to BLMC 16.20.030
Eastown Development Regulations Amendments Page 6 of 9
Agenda Packet p. 46 of 53
Figure 4: Eastown Critical Areas9
The proposed amendments will not impact or alter the way critical areas are regulated by the City under Title 16 – Division II BLMC entitled Critical Areas. Therefore, the proposed amendments would not result in a net loss of ecological functions and values of the critical areas within the Eastown subarea.
F. Processing Background
City staff discussed the draft amendments with the Planning Commission on June 2, 2021 in advance of the required public hearing held on July 7, 2021. The City submitted the required notice of intent to adopt the proposed ordinance to the Department of Commerce as required by RCW 36.70A.106 on May 28, 2021. The Department of Commerce’s sixty (60) day notice period will conclude on July 27, 202110.
G. Public Outreach
The City held one open public meeting to discuss the proposed amendments with the Planning Commission on June 2, 2021. The notice of the public hearing was issued on June 11, 202111, which provided for a public comment period from June 11, 2021 to July 17, 2021. Notice of the hearing was also published in the newspaper on June 16, 2021 as required by BLMC 14.140.040(D). Following the public hearing the Planning Commission
9 The critical areas shown on Figure 2 are known critical areas. The maps should not be interpreted to mean that other undevelopable critical areas are not present in Eastown. Additional the boundaries of the wetlands and associated buffers are for only general illustrative proposes and are not meant to illustrate the exact boundaries of these features.

Eastown Development Regulations Amendments Page 7 of 9
Agenda Packet p. 47 of 53
voted 6-0-0 to recommend that the City Council approve Ordinance D21-74.12 As part of the motion the Planning Commission removed junk, salvage or wrecking yards from the permitted use along with the associated performance standards and removed the performance standard for trailer concrete plants as it was not listed a permitted use. These changes have been made to the ordinance.
III. ANALYSIS
A. Development Regulations Amendment ( BLMC 14.140.090.B)
The approval criterion for amendments to a development regulation is consistency with the comprehensive plan and the laws of the State of Washington.
1. Comprehensive Plan (Bonney Lake 2035)
Bonney Lake 2035 directs the City to “[C]learly establish and communicate the community’s vision … for major sub-geographies, to provide the local business community with clear direction on the appropriateness of various types of development in different parts of the City.”13 As Eastown was one of the major sub-geographies a subarea plan was developed with the expressed goal of developing the area “… with light industrial and manufacturing uses …”14 to “… to increase the number and diversity of jobs available to the citizens of Bonney Lake and to diversify the City’s tax base.”15 The proposed amendment to the Eastown development regulations will further these goal.
Additionally, the proposed amendments to the development standards in Chapter 18.20 BLMC are needed to ensure that Eastown is developed with a “preference for business park or campus-scale development.”16 The updated development standards will implement “… best management practices for site planning and design related to… building placement and orientation, vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns, open space, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management, interfacings with adjacent neighborhoods and developments, and appropriate accommodation of the site’s natural features.”17
Finally, the importance is these changes to the development regulations to support the development of Eastown as a Countywide MIC and the increase to the City’s employment base is evident in the amount of light industrial and manufacturing building

Eastown Development Regulations Amendments Page 8 of 9
Agenda Packet p. 48 of 53
2. State Law
The City’s authority to adopt the proposed amendments is provided for in RCW 35A.63.100, which provides that the legislative body may adopt regulations that it deems necessary to effectuate the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. As discussed above, the proposed amendments are necessary to effectuate the goals and objectives of the City’s comprehensive plan.
IV. CONCLUSION
The proposed amendments are consistent with the criteria to amend the development regulations as established in BLMC 14.140.090.B.
18 Puget Sound Regional Council (March 2015) Industrial Lands Analysis for the Center Puget Sound Region (pg. 6-19). This study determined that the industrial lands classified in the group “Dispersed – Pierce County”, which included Eastown, would result in job growth at a rate of one job per 750 square to 1,000 square feet of building area.
