SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Date Completed: March 28, 2023
Per Ordinance No: 09-1003-22 and Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.40.440, site development
review (SDR) provides owners and developers of land an assessment of site requirements for
development of property. SDR is required prior to development. The result of SDR is a description of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose of guiding development. While SDR will not vest a property to development regulations, it provides
for a professional analysis of the site according to current development regulations.
Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has SDR on parcel
986703301. This SDR reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed.
NOTICE TO APPLICANT:
The purpose of the SDR is to provide owners and developers of land with a professional assessment
of possible site development issues without first applying for permits. As this is a preliminary review
of available GIS mapping data and nontechnical information supplied by the applicant, it is NOT a
guarantee that development can occur in the manner described. However, it is a valuable tool to
allow applicants to plan out the development process in advance. Here are three key disclaimers:
• Site Development Review DOES NOT VEST applicants to a particular set of regulations; that can only be accomplished in the manner set out in JCC 18.40.320, which in many cases
requires filing of a building permit application.
• Completion of this review does not guarantee future approval for an onsite septic system. An
applicant must apply for and complete all required permitting pursuant to chapter 8.15 JCC
and WAC 246-272A. Use of older septic systems is not guaranteed.
• The adequacy of a potable water supply cannot be assessed until the time of building permit application. Proposals necessitating a determination of adequate potable water supply must meet all county and state requirements in effect at the time of application.

specified in this code.
Critical Areas: None
Required Reports: None Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be
implemented as conditioned on any permit approvals and as required in the current edition
of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Jefferson County has
adopted the most current edition of the manual produced by Washington State Department
of Ecology.
• A Stormwater Management Permit is required for grading of 500 cubic yards or more,
land-disturbing activities of 7,000 square feet or more, or creation of 2,000 square feet
or more of impervious surface. This approval may be obtained through a building permit
or, if you wish to clear the property prior to building, you must obtain a separate
stormwater management permit. This is required prior to clearing and grading for related development, such as septic system installation or road/driveway construction.
• Stormwater Management Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any
tree removal within a critical area or its buffer regardless of square footage cleared.
• Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces.
• Building permits must address stormwater.
o A small project is any impervious surface under 2,000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2 from the manual.
3
o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2,000 to 4,999 square feet or 7,000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet minimum requirements #1-#5, including on-site stormwater management. The building permit
application should include a designed stormwater management system to
address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces.
o A large project is any impervious surface from 5,000 square feet or greater. You
must meet all minimum requirements. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. If your project meets the large project threshold, your parcel is five acres or larger, and you are not within an Urban Growth Area,
an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low-impact design standards
are met.
• If you plan on clearing the property and would be required by the state Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) to submit a Forest Practices Application (FPA), you must work with our department first to obtain a Stormwater Management Permit with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, in association with a Class IV-General FPA, in
order to avoid a 6-year Development Moratorium per the state Forest Practices Act.
Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR for FPA requirements.
Next Steps: 1. Apply for a Type I Land Use Permit.
2. Apply for development permits.
