Project Name: MA-03: Rezone from LDR to M-1 on 30th Street Ct E.
Permit Application Number: SEPA-2025-0002
Location: 14616 30th Street CT E, Sumner, WA 98390 (site A) and 14710 30th Street CT E Sumner WA 98390 (site B).
Parcel(s) #: 0420124027 (parcel A) & 0420124035 (parcel B)
Description of Proposal: The City of Sumner has completed an environmental review for a non-project proposal under the 2025 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment cycle (Docket Item MA-03). This proposal involves changing the land use designation and zoning of Parcel A (APN: 0420124027) from Low Density Residential-2 (LDR-2) to Light Industrial (M-1). The applicant originally requested to rezone Parcel A. The City evaluated both Parcel A and the neighboring Parcel B (APN: 0420124035) as part of its environmental review. After completing the review, the City’s proposal has been modified to proceed only with the rezone of Parcel A.
Parcel B will remain designated and zoned for residential use until further access and mitigation measures are addressed. This is a non-project action under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), meaning there are no specific development plans or construction proposed at this time. However, if the rezone is approved, future development on Parcel A may include uses such as light industrial buildings, warehouses, and associated parking. As part of this review, the City has evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the proposed land use change. A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) has been issued. The MDNS includes specific conditions that will apply to future development, addressing concerns related to transportation access, noise, light impacts, and protection of environmentally sensitive areas.
