A. All short plats, binding site plans, and subdivisions within five hundred feet of designated resource lands shall contain a notice that a variety of commercial or operational activities may occur that are not compatible with residential development for certain periods of limited duration. If the designated resource area is a mineral extraction site, like a gravel pit, the notice should also state that activities may include such things as mining, mineral extraction, washing, crushing, stockpiling, blasting, and transporting and recycling of minerals.

B. Intent and Purpose of Notice. In Lacey there are no areas of designated “long term commercial significance.” Nevertheless, there are designated areas of short term use including mineral extraction, agricultural, and forestry. These areas are expected to be utilized throughout the foreseeable future, and might have conflicts with other land use planned within the urban growth area. As such, the statements described in subsection A of this section are required to provide notice to prospective lot purchasers that are close to these areas for disclosure purposes, and also the protection of the short term resource activities established within the urban growth boundaries. (Ord. 1520 §16, 2017; Ord. 1235 §1, 2, 2005).
