A. Commercial uses are subject to full administrative review procedures contained in Section 1C.040 of the City of Lacey Development Guidelines and Public Works Standards and shall be provided for in the original, finally approved version of the PRD application for the development within which the commercial use is to be integrated. “Original,” as is used in this subsection, refers to the PRD application as it existed at the time of its final approval by the city council.

B. The gross floor area of the commercial use shall not exceed the product of thirty square feet multiplied by the number of dwelling units within the development.

The purpose of restricting commercial development is to prevent the PRD process from being used as a vehicle for rezoning to commercial use which may not be at all related to the commercial needs of the area. Once a relatively large number of dwelling units have been completed or occupied, the need for such commercial development may be justified. (Ord. 1208 §67, 2003; Ord. 1192 §160, 2002; Ord. 583 §2.16(F)(7), 1980).
