Required Permits: This project requires the approval of a PDR, SEPA, and BLA permit, as well as associated construction permits.
SEPA Review: The City of Lynnwood has reviewed the proposed project for probable adverse environmental impacts and expects to issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS). This determination is based on the following findings and conclusions:
The proposed use of the site is similar to the use previously on the site and is a permitted use within the zone. It has been determined that the project does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Staff reviewed submitted materials including a site plan and SEPA checklist. The optional DNS process of WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be your only opportunity to comment on the environmental impact of the proposed project. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the project review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an EIS is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request.
