A. General requirement for notice: Any new condominium development or condominium conversion that is within five hundred feet of a designated resource area shall have a statement on the face of the project plan drawing stating that the subject property is near a designated natural resource area. This statement shall designate on which said areas commercial activities may occur that may not be 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 the Lacey growth area 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. are required to provide notice to perspective 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.
