(A) A proposed action:

(A) Specification of allowable lot sizes;

(B) Provisions for additional buffers relative to the intensity of a use or activity;

(C) Requirements and/or restrictions on the construction, size, location, bulk and/or height, etc., of structure(s);

(D) Dedication of necessary easements for utilities, conservation, open space, etc.;

(E) Imposition of easements agreements, sureties, deed restrictions, covenants, etc., on the future use and/or division of land that run with the land and are filed and recorded in the office of the Yakima County auditor;

(F) Limitations on the removal of existing vegetation;

(G) Additional measures to address issues such as erosion control, storm water management, filling, grading, etc.;

(H) Development of a mitigation plan to create, enhance, or restore damaged or degraded critical area(s) on and/or off site; and

(I) Any monitoring and/or maintenance plans necessary to implement the provisions of this chapter.

(A) Any conditions of approval included in a notice of determination shall be attached to the underlying permit or approval. Any subsequent changes to the conditions of approval shall void the previous determination pending review of the proposal and conditions of approval by the planning official.

(B) A favorable determination should not be construed as an endorsement or approval of any underlying permit or approval.

(A) No proposed activity or permit shall be approved or issued if it is determined that the proposed activity does not adequately mitigate its impacts on the critical areas and/or does not comply with the provisions of this chapter.

(B) Following notice of determination that the proposed activity does not meet the review criteria and/or does not comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter, the applicant may request consideration of a revised critical areas report. If the revision is found to be substantial and relevant to the critical area review, the administrator may reopen the critical area review and make a new determination based on the revised report.

(A) There will be no alteration of the critical area(s) and/or the required buffer(s);

(B) The proposal will not impact the critical area(s) in a manner contrary to the purpose, intent and requirements of this chapter and the city's comprehensive land use plan; and

(C) The minimum standards of this section will be met.

(A) Applicant's name and contact information, permits being sought, and description of the proposal;

(B) A copy of the site plan for the development proposal, drawn to scale and showing:

(C) The names and qualifications of the persons preparing the report and documentation of any fieldwork performed on the site;

(D) Identification and characterization of all critical areas, wetlands, water bodies, and buffers adjacent to the proposed project area. Delineation of wetlands shall be accomplished using the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Publication No. 96-94), March 1997 (as amended or revised);

(E) An assessment of the probable cumulative impacts to critical areas resulting from the proposed development of the site;

(F) An analysis of site development alternatives;

(G) A description of reasonable efforts made to apply mitigation sequencing to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to critical areas;

(H) A mitigation plan, as necessary, developed in accordance with the mitigation requirements of this section and site assessment and evaluation, including, but not limited to:

(I) A discussion of the performance standards applicable to the critical area and proposed activity;

(J) Financial guarantees to secure compliance; and

(K) Any additional information required for specific critical areas as listed in subsequent sections of this chapter.

(A) Avoiding the impact by not taking a certain action or parts of an action;

(B) Minimizing or reducing impacts by reducing the scope of the proposed use or development; by using accepted technology, engineering or design; or by taking affirmative steps, such as project design, relocation, or timing to avoid or reduce impacts;

(C) Rectifying the impacts to wetlands, critical aquifer recharge area(s), frequently flooded area(s), and habitat conservation area(s) by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment to historical conditions or the conditions existing at the time of initiation of the project;

(D) Minimizing or eliminating the risk or impact by restoring, stabilizing or protecting the critical area through engineered or other methods;

(E) Reducing or eliminating the risk or impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations for the duration of the proposed use or development;

(F) Compensating for the impact to critical areas, wetlands, critical aquifer recharge areas, frequently flooded areas, and habitat conservation areas by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and

(G) Monitoring the risk or other required mitigation and taking remedial action when necessary.

(A) A written report identifying mitigation objectives, including:

(B) Measurable criteria for evaluation of the mitigation plan and compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(C) Written specifications and descriptions of proposed mitigation, including, but not limited to:

(D) A program for monitoring mitigation measures and/or compensation project, and for assessing the completed project over time. The program may include a schedule for site monitoring and compliance with performance standards. A monitoring report may be required to document milestones, successes, problems, and contingency actions for either mitigation measures or compensation project. The mitigation measures or compensation project shall be monitored for a reasonable period necessary to establish that performance standards have been satisfied.

(E) Identify potential or alternative courses of action, and any corrective measures to be considered if monitoring or evaluation indicates the project has failed to meet performance standards.
