Project Name: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SD19-09), Washington State Department of Natural Resources
Proposal: Conduct commercial harvest of geoduck from approximately 385 subtidal acres on three (3) geoduck tracts around McNeil Island at water depths of -18 feet to a point seaward no deeper than -70 feet. During commercial harvest, divers use a hand-held water jet to loosen the substrate immediately around the exposed geoduck siphon allowing it to be easily removed from the substrate. Divers operate from boats anchored over the tracts. Pumps and compressors on the boats are used to pump ambient water to the water jets and supply air to the divers respectively. Harvesting is limited to specific tracts that have commercial quantities of geoducks, meet the depth restrictions identified above and that have been certified by the Washington State Department of Health. Consideration is also made to ensure Endangered Species Acts concerns are addressed including provisions for the protection of eel grass beds and herring spawning areas. Department of Natural Resources staff monitors the harvest during all hours of operation. Compressor and pump noise would be experienced during hours allowed under the harvest contract, specifically no earlier than 7:30 am and no later than 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday and not on State holidays. Harvest vessels are not allowed on tract prior to or after harvest hours. Approximately 20-30 people would work from the vessels for between 2-4 months each year. The project site is located in the Rural, Conservancy, and Natural Shoreline Environments abutting the Key Peninsula Community Plan area.
Document Type: ADDENDUM
Environmental Application: 667519
Location: The project site is approximately 385 subtidal acres and consists of one geoduck tract on the southwest side of McNeil Island and two geoduck tracts on the northwest side of McNeil Island with all three being located within or adjacent to Pitt Passage between McNeil Island and Key Peninsula. More generally, the site is located in T20N, R1E, W.M.

Project Name: Adoption of a new chapter in the Pierce County Development Code (18A.65) that provides incentives for the development and construction of housing affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the County's median household income, Pierce County Planning and Land Services Department
PROPOSAL: Adoption of Chapter 18A.65 ? ?Affordable Housing Incentives? in the Pierce County Code and Amending Title 18 ? General Provisions; Title 4A - Impact Fees; Title 17C - Construction and Infrastructure Regulations - Building and Fire Codes; and Title 13 - Public Sanitary Sewer Systems to Provide Incentives to Profit and Non-Profit Developers to Construct New Housing Affordable to Low-Income Households. The proposed new chapter in Title 18A creates three broad categories of incentives to promote the development of affordable housing for low income households: financial incentives (expedited permitting and fee waivers), density bonuses, and regulatory incentives (alternative development standards, including parking, lot area and width). In addition to specifying the incentives a for-profit or non-profit developer may utilize, the chapter documents the procedures that will ensure that the constructed homes or apartments will be affordable to house holds earning 80% or less of the County's median area income.
Document Type:DNS

Description of document (or portion) being modified: Mitigation Measure Number 2 of the MDNS required the payment of a fee to the Bethel School District to mitigate impacts to the schools and/or school facilities of the District, prior to Final Plat approval. The Bethel School District, however, had a voluntary Mitigation Agreement in place with the developer of this plat, prior to the issuance of the MDNS, recorded under Auditor's Fee No. 9508210372. It was determined by the Bethel School District that the agreement would adequately mitigate impacts to the District resulting from increased enrollment. This agreement requires the payment of fees at the time of issuance of a building permit rather than prior to final plat approval as required by Mitigation Measure Number 2. Mitigation Measure Number 2 is being modified to resolve this inconsistency by requiring compliance with the terms and conditions of the recorded voluntary Mitigation Agreement.
The following modifications have been made to the original DNS: Mitigation Measure Number 2 has been revised to state -The project shall comply with the terms and conditions of the voluntary Mitigation Agreement between Terra West Properties, Inc., and Bethel School District No. 403, recorded under Auditor's Fee No. 9508213072.
