(a) New land divisions and development shall connect to the Carlsborg sewer system consistent with Chapter 13.12 CCC, Carlsborg Sewer System.

(b) Pursuant to Chapter 13.12 CCC, all new, and repair or replacement of failed, on-site or community septic systems shall require that the developer install enhanced treatment technologies that demonstrate greater than 50 percent reduction of nitrate discharge as compared to conventional treatment systems. Additionally, all new or replacement of existing on-site or community septic systems shall, at a minimum, meet Treatment Standard II per the Washington Department of Health standards for on-site sewage treatment, as now or hereafter amended. In identifying appropriate treatment methods, consideration shall be given to the latest technology available that has demonstrated reliable treatment of biological and chemical contaminants.

(a) All new land divisions shall connect to an approved public water supply. Approved public water supply shall consist of either of the following:

(b) Existing individual wells and community water systems shall be allowed to continue indefinitely; provided, that they are consistent with State and County health code requirements for potable water. Existing systems that fail to meet these standards and are unable to rectify the deficiency within a reasonable time period shall be required to obtain connection from the PUD system or other approved community water system. To rectify a deficiency, the landowner may make structural or facility repairs, or deepen or replace an existing well, which must be drilled at a minimum into the middle aquifer.

(c) Existing individual wells or community systems shall not be expanded or altered in any way that would result in the expansion of the system or service area without full compliance with all criteria of this section.

(d) New community water systems in the Carlsborg UGA shall be permitted only if they meet or exceed the criteria for Group A water systems (15 or more connections), and demonstrate consistency with the LOS established in the Carlsborg Capital Facilities Plan. Vacant parcels which were lawfully established prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be allowed the use of private, individual wells.

(a) Landscaped areas between public roads and parking shall be provided;

(b) Outside storage, garbage, recycling and maintenance facilities, and loading dock areas shall be screened from view from public roads and neighboring properties;

(c) Commercial/industrial development abutting residential areas shall include a landscape plan that describes tree/shrub species, size of plant materials, and the use of fencing, berms, or solid walls so that noise, light, and aesthetic impacts to residential properties are adequately minimized and/or mitigated.

(a) Duplexes and multifamily residences shall provide no less than 1.5 parking spaces per unit. Parking areas shall be located behind or under buildings where practicable; except that, attached garages shall be allowed for duplexes.

(b) The number of access points from parking areas to public streets shall be minimized or shall be shared (where possible) within a development.

(c) Parking areas shall include landscaping, fencing and/or berming substantially equivalent to the standards in Chapter 33.55 CCC when abutting existing single-family residences or residential zoning districts.

(d) Where practicable, parking for commercial developments should be located to the rear of the development site.

(e) Parking lighting shall not create off-site glare, and shall utilize “cut-off” type fixtures that ensure glare will be downward facing and/or shielded and directed away from neighboring properties.

(a) Highway 101 Corridor or within 500 Feet of Highway 101 – Minimum Sidewalk Development Standards. Sidewalks shall be constructed consistent with the City and County Design Standards, 1995 Edition, as amended. Where sidewalk depths of adjacent properties are inconsistent, a transition area shall be provided to avoid hazardous conditions, as approved by the County Engineer (or his/her designee).

(b) Other Roads – Minimum Sidewalk Development Standards. For development more than 500 feet from the right-of-way of SR 101 and abutting roads indicated in Figure 10-2 of the CFP as requiring sidewalks, the owner of the subject property shall dedicate to the County right-of-way, all area abutting the County roadway to a width sufficient to accommodate road improvement and maintenance needs as determined by the County Road Engineer, and a minimum six feet to accommodate sidewalk/pedestrian facilities.

(c) Trails – Minimum Trail Development. For development abutting or containing land indicated in Figure 10-2 of the CFP as requiring trails, the owner of the subject property shall dedicate to the County right-of-way all area along the designated trail to a width of 10 feet to the County right-of-way for pedestrian facilities.

(d) In review of site plans for sidewalk and trail facilities, the County Road Department and Department of Community Development shall consider the location of existing pedestrian facilities, the topographic and geographic setting of the subject parcel in relation to adjacent parcels, available space sufficient to accommodate pedestrian facilities, and the character of the vicinity of the subject property. The purpose of this review shall be to ensure pedestrian facilities are designed and developed consistently, safely, and provide for logical connectivity to other pedestrian facilities and community features.

(a) Compliance with CCC 31.03.350, Carlsborg UGA, and the Carlsborg CFP;

(b) Safe ingress and egress, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation;

(c) Adequate stacking or vehicle queuing room at driveways and street intersections, which shall be based on engineered traffic studies and calculations as required by the County Engineer (or his/her designee);

(d) Shared access and circulation to minimize road approaches, where practicable;

(e) Off-site traffic controls, devices, or improvements, including traffic signals, intersection improvements, and/or turning lanes as required by the County Engineer, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;

(f) Separation of service vehicle access and parking from customer circulation and parking;

(g) Limited use of on-site circulation and parking areas as “cut-throughs”;

(h) Design of residential subdivisions, duplex and multifamily developments to orient to public or private streets and to provide pedestrian and vehicular connections to existing nearby neighborhoods and community features. The following standards are required:

(a) Adequate safe pedestrian walkways shall be established within the project, which shall be designed to be in conformance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations.

(b) Street lighting shall be provided along walkways adjacent to and within the development. Lighting shall not create glare, and shall be downward facing and/or shielded and directed away from neighboring properties.

(c) Security lighting shall be provided in parking and designated outdoor recreation areas. Security lighting shall minimize glare, shall be downward facing and/or shielded, and shall be directed away from neighboring properties.

(d) Garbage, maintenance and recycling facilities shall be screened.

(e) Pedestrian connections to adjacent development shall be provided, where practicable, in public rights-of-way, or along designated trail corridors.
