A. Review of State Requirements. All standards, requirements, conditions and expectations of state law shall be satisfied as determined by the director. No declaration to create a condominium within the city of Lacey shall be filed or recorded at Thurston County or the state of Washington without first having the approval of the city of Lacey. The city shall work with the county treasurer, assessor and auditor’s offices to coordinate this requirement.

B. General Application. The process and review applied to an application for condominium development or a conversion are described in this title, specifically Chapters 15.06 and 15.12 LMC and as otherwise described in this chapter.

C. Manufactured Home Park. New condominium development in the form of a manufactured home park shall be reviewed subject to the requirements and performance standards contained in Chapters 15.06 and 16.63 LMC as applicable.

D. Townhomes, Duplexes, Triplexes. New condominium development in the form of townhomes, duplex or triplex units shall be subject to the performance standards contained in Chapters 15.06 and 16.61 LMC as applicable.

E. Review of Conversions. Review process and standards applied to a conversion from a previously approved land use form will generally follow the same process and standards applied to similar development forms under a different ownership type. Review, performance standards and conditions, if applicable, will be tailored to each project, based on site specific review to address unique circumstances and need. Provided, where this would include new physical improvements to infrastructure a full disclosure of deficiencies as identified in LMC 15.07.050(D) shall be sufficient, except as otherwise may be allowed under LMC 15.07.050.

F. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. New condominium development must be consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. Based upon individual site evaluations and identified impacts, conditions may be applied to new development, to achieve goals and policies of the Plan.

G. Finding for Approval. Prior to approval, the director or his/her designee shall make findings that adequate provisions have been made for roads, utilities, emergency access, the general public health safety and welfare and the application is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Provided, in application to conversions, where this would include new physical improvements to infrastructure a full disclosure of deficiencies as identified in LMC 15.07.050(D) shall be sufficient.

H. Decision for Best Process. Where there is a question as to the most appropriate review process for a new condominium development or conversion, the director shall be given latitude necessary to determine and apply the process that would most reflect the underlying land form.

I. Decision for Applicable Requirements and Conditions. In application of conditions to a new condominium development or conversion, the director shall be given latitude to apply requirements and conditions necessary to achieve the objectives and intent of this chapter and state condominium law. (Ord. 1520 §34, 2017).
