This section is included in your selections.

A. A sidewalk or walkway shall be constructed on all public right-of-way frontages as a condition of a building permit issuance for any improvements on property zoned for business, industrial or multifamily uses. The sidewalk or walkway shall be constructed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

B. This requirement of this section may be waived by the city council to the extent that the council determines that the improvements or change in use proposed by the property owner will not create any additional need for sidewalks or that the sidewalk requirement is disproportional to the needs created by the project as required by RCW 82.02.020 and constitutional requirements of nexus and proportionality.

C. In the event the property is used as a single-family residential use but is located in an area zoned for business, industrial, or multifamily uses, and said single-family use is changed and a certificate of occupancy is required prior to said new use, a sidewalk or walkway requirement shall comply with this chapter. (Ord. 008/2019 § 1; Ord. 035/2008 § 1; Ord. 891, 1988; Ord. 796, 1985)
