SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Per Ordinance No: 09-10033-22 and Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.40.440, site development
review (SDR) process will provide owners and developers of land an assessment of site
requirements for development of a parcel.
Site development review is a required assessment, prior to development, of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose of development. While it will not vest a property to development regulations, it provides for a professional analysis of the site according to current
development regulations
A guaranteed right to development can only be established once a development permit application
or building permit application vests pursuant to JCC 18.40.320. Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has completed a site
development review on parcel 801044007. This site development review reflects the conditions of
the property at the date the review was completed.
Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres (RR1:10). This is a non-conforming lot and is 5.02 acres. Legal Lot of Record Status: The parcel records were reviewed and no indication of illegal
creation was found. The legal description has remained consistent throughout time.
Setbacks: On the west parcel boundary, adjacent zoning is rural forest 40 (RF-40). Jefferson
County Code (JCC) 18.15.150(3): “Establish and maintain a minimum building setback of 100 feet adjacent to the rural forest lands designation, which shall serve as a resource protection area, as measured from the property boundaries of adjacent forest lands.” Setback from West Egg and I
Road on the east parcel boundary is 20 feet. Adjacent rural residentially zoned land on the north
and south parcel boundaries is 5 feet.
Critical Areas: Non-Fish Habitat Stream, Wetlands Non-Fish Habitat Stream: This stream shown on the development envelope holds a 50 to 75-foot
buffer dependent on the grade of the stream. If the grade is over 20%, a 75-foot buffer shall be
maintained, if under 20% grade, a 50-foot buffer shall be maintained. An additional 5-foot building
setback will apply to either buffer.
Wetlands: Wetlands are mapped on the site and aerial photography indicates there may be additional unmapped wetlands on-site. Any development will require a wetland delineation by a qualified professional. If wetlands are present on the property, the potential development envelope
will change based on the professional delineation and actual location of wetlands.
Required Reports: Wetland Delineation
Unpermitted Structure: County records indicate an existing residence of 1296 square foot building, likely in poor condition, based off of photography, that was first assessed in 1982.

Removal of this building is suggested prior to any future permitting. Alternatively, the applicant may work with code compliance to determine a manor of establishing a Built-Without-Permits Approval, Notice to Title or other method of coming into compliance. If the applicant wishes to
keep this building, a code compliance plan or agreement must be established and completed prior
to any future approvals on the site.
Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices shall be implemented as conditioned on any permit approvals and as required in the current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Next Steps:
1. Develop a compliance plan to address the unpermitted structure on the property
with code compliance coordinator, Debra Murdock, dmurdock@co.jefferson.wa.us.
2. Get wetland delineation completed.
3. At owner discretion, either remove or address unpermitted building.
4. Apply for development permits.
