c. Front-Facing
d. Landscape
For parcels or sites existing prior to December 31, 2021, the only permitted arterial frontage type is Front if the home is within 100’ feet of the arterial street public right-of-way. Vehicle access must be from a non- arterial street unless determined infeasible by the City. The rear or side of a home is not permitted within 100’ from the edge of the arterial street public right-of-way. If the home is separated from the arterial using the landscape frontage type, then homes are exempt from the requirement to use the Front-facing frontage type.
The landscape arterial frontage type is appropriate on sites that do not have a forest condition with existing mature trees and native vegetation. The landscape arterial frontage must be a minimum of 25’ in the R-1 through R-8 zones and 10’ in the R-12 and R-18 zones. Landscaping must screen the development on the remainder of the site within the first three years by using native vegetation for Type I landscaping. Landscape arterial frontage plans must be prepared by a licensed landscape architect in the State of Washington.
