18A.30.110Purpose - Single-Family Residential Zoning Districts.
The Residential 1 (R1) and Residential 2 (R2) zoning districts provide for a continuation of large residential lots in specific areas where a pattern of large lots and extensive tree coverage exists. These zoning districts seek to preserve the identity of these residential areas, preserve significant tree stands and riparian environments along lake shores and within stream corridors, and reduce traffic volumes in the east-west arterial corridors.
The Residential 3 (R3) and Residential 4 (R4) zoning districts are the city’s primary residential zones, which provide for single-family dwellings in established residential neighborhoods. The Residential 4 (R4) designation provides for increased residential density through smaller lot sizes and allowance for residential development comprising two units per lot.

18A.30.500Commercial Zoning Districts.
18A.30.510Purpose - Commercial Zoning Districts.
The Transit-Oriented Commercial (TOC) zoning district is an interactive mixture of uses which focus on regional transportation networks while providing for urban design, people orientation, and connectivity between uses and transportation routes.
The Central Business District (CBD) zoning district is the primary retail, office, social, urban residential, and government center of the city. The complementary and interactive mixture of uses and urban design provides for a regional intensity and viability with a local character. The regional focus and vitality of the district is evident in the urban density, intensity, and composition of the uses in the district. Local character is reflected in the district’s design, people orientation, and connectivity between uses, structures, and public spaces, that foster a sense of community.
The Commercial 1 (C1), Commercial 2 (C2), and Commercial 3 (C3) zoning districts promote employment, services, retail, and business uses serving and linking neighborhoods to Lakewood’s major transportation networks. The geographic relationship of the corridors to major road networks and their limited integration with adjacent neighborhoods promote employment, services, retail, and business/light industrial uses linked to access the major transportation networks. The C3 zoning district is distinguished by its arterial location and focus on “big-box” type uses which form an anchor for a large-scale commercial development. (Ord. 525 § 5, 2010; Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.520Applicability - Commercial Zoning Districts.
The TOC zoning district is only applicable to lands designated Corridor Commercial in the comprehensive plan which are also within the Lakewood Station District established in the comprehensive plan.
The CBD zoning district is applicable to lands designated Central Business District in the comprehensive plan.
The C1, C2, and C3 zoning districts are applicable to lands designated Corridor Commercial in the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 525 § 6, 2010; Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)

(Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.800Public/Institutional Zoning District.
18A.30.810Purpose - Public/Institutional Zoning District.
The Public/Institutional (PI) zoning district provides for moderate-scale and large-scale activities relating to the purpose of state and local governmental entities, except for military uses which are separately designated and zoned; special districts; and semi-public institutions providing necessary public services. The designation allows for the specialized needs of providing public services to all areas of Lakewood. (Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.820Applicability - Public/Institutional Zoning District.
The PI zoning district is applicable to lands designated Public and Semi-Public Institutional in the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.830Permitted Uses - Public/Institutional Zoning District.
A. PI Zoning District.
1. The following uses are permitted within the PI zoning district, subject to approval of a discretionary land use permit and all applicable development permits. The unique nature of this zoning district and the uses that may be placed there require flexibility in administration. Therefore, any proposed use, whether new or an expansion or change of an existing use, shall be evaluated individually to determine whether it will be treated as an administrative or conditional use, based on its size, overall functions, and anticipated level of impact, including, but not limited to, such factors as hours of operation, relationship to adjacent land uses, trip generation and parking needs, storage needs, and environmental impact.
a. Continuation of uses already legally existing within the zone at the time of adoption of this title. Maintenance and repair of existing structures shall be permitted.
b. Any use that, in the opinion of the Community Development Director, constitutes an essential public facility as defined in LMC 18A.20.400(D), or public and semi-public facilities beyond those specifically identified in state law, including a broad variety of both listed and unlisted uses, which may be liberally interpreted to meet essential community needs. Examples may include, but are not limited to, schools, libraries, and hospitals, including the Western State Hospital campus, but specifically excluding Religious Assembly use types for which adequate provision is made in other zoning districts.
2. The following uses are allowed in the PI zoning district, without the need for a discretionary land use permit:
a. Outdoor Recreation (Level 1/2)
b. Public Maintenance Facilities (Level 1)
c. Transportation Facilities (Level 1)
d. Communication Facilities (Level 1)
e. Electrical Facilities (Level 1)
f. Natural Gas Facilities (Level 1)
g. Sewage Collection Facilities
h. Stormwater Facilities (Level 1)
i. Water Supply Facilities (Level 1) (Ord. 423 § 1 (part), 2006; Ord. 317 § 5, 2003; Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.840Development Standards - Public/Institutional Zoning District.
A. Because of the nature of the typical uses characterizing this use type and the high need for flexibility in siting and operating public facilities, general development standards shall be determined jointly by the Community Development Director and City Engineer on a case-by-case basis considering the type and intensity of the proposed use, adjacent uses and zoning, environmental issues, site design, and/or type and construction of buildings.
B. Master-Planned Facilities. Public/institutional uses on properties twenty (20) acres or larger in size which are located within the Public/Institutional zoning district must undertake a public facilities master plan pursuant to LMC 18A.30.850, which must be reviewed and approved prior to issuance of permits for any proposed development, except as provided in LMC 18A.30.850(C). The public facilities master plan for each facility or coherent group of facilities shall specifically state the type and level of uses, as set forth in Chapter 18A.20 LMC, proposed therein.
C. SEPA Lead Agency. Unless specifically released on a case-by-case basis, the City hereby reserves lead agency status for environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act for any and all uses within Public/Institutional zoning districts.
H. Signs. Signage shall conform to the requirements of LMC 18A.50.600, Signs. (Ord. 423 § 1 (part), 2006; Ord. 264 § 1 (part), 2001.)
18A.30.850Public Facilities Master Plan Standards - Public/Institutional Zoning District.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the public facilities master plan process is to encourage Essential Public Facilities Civic uses on large parcels of land to be developed holistically, with internally compatible uses and physical development and with accommodations made for natural site and environmental conditions, assuring that:
1. Appropriate provisions are made for water, sanitary sewer, drainage ways, utilities, roadways, emergency services, and any other applicable infrastructure or services;
2. Critical areas will be protected;
3. Usable open space will be provided;
4. Appropriate provisions are made for motorized and nonmotorized transportation circulation, including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school;
5. Approval criteria and mitigation measures are established which include general design elements and linkage components; and
6. The safety of the general public as well as workers at and visitors to the facility is ensured.
B. Applicability. A public facilities master plan is required for all Essential Public Facilities Civic uses which utilize contiguous parcels of land totaling twenty (20) acres or more and which are zoned Public/Institutional. A public facilities master plan is not required for installation of portable classrooms as approved by the Community Development Director subject to Process I administrative action; uses and activities listed in LMC 18A.30.830(A)(2); renovations, remodeling and general maintenance, provided there is no expansion in occupiable space greater than one thousand (1,000) square feet of the structure proposed for renovation/remodeling; roof repairs; infrastructure improvements to existing systems (i.e., interior streets; sidewalks; lighting; security equipment; landscaping; and storm water, sewer, water, and power utilities); emergency repairs; and installation of fire/life safety equipment).
C. Uses. Uses not included in an approved public facilities master plan, except those listed in subsection B above, shall not subsequently be allowed upon the site except by review and approval of an amended public facilities master plan following the same process as establishment of an initial public facilities master plan.
When a new Essential Public Facility Civic use is proposed which requires a public facilities master plan or amendment to an existing plan and it is located on the same property or site of an already established Essential Public Facility Civic use, the City shall require the project proponent to prepare a compatibility study which, at minimum, contains the following information on a form prescribed by the City:
1. The purpose of the proposed Essential Public Facility Civic use;
2. An operational characteristics description of the proposed Essential Public Facility Civic use and an operational characteristics description of the existing use or uses;
3. An evaluation of the potential effects of the proposed Essential Public Facility Civic use upon the existing use or uses;
4. An evaluation of the potential effects of the proposed Essential Public Facility Civic use upon the adjacent properties;
5. An evaluation of the potential effects of the proposed Essential Public Facility Civic use upon at-risk or special needs populations, including but not limited to children and the physically or mentally disabled; and
6. Identification of any applicable mitigation measures designed to address any potential effects identified through the evaluation required herein.
D. Previous Permits. A previously adopted public facilities permit issued under Pierce County predating City incorporation, or a previously adopted administrative use or other permit issued pursuant to Title 18 or 18A LMC after City incorporation, may constitute an adopted public facilities master plan for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements herein. Any subsequent amendment(s) sought to an existing public facilities permit shall follow the process for a public facilities master plan.
E. Process. A public facilities master plan shall be reviewed as a Process III permit type under LMC 18A.02.550.
F. Termination and expiration of approval. If a condition of approval is violated, or if any provision of this code is violated, the Community Development Director may, in his sole discretion, initiate a revocation of the public facilities master plan which shall require a public hearing before and decision by the hearing examiner. Nothing in this section shall limit or affect the revocation of building permits, issuance of stop orders or other similar proceedings authorized by this code.
Recognizing that the nature of essential public facilities often requires approval of significant capital appropriations and that the appropriations process may be unpredictable, a public facilities master plan typically would not expire unless and until the slate of projects to be completed thereunder has been substantially completed, and new projects that are not included in the scope of the public facilities master plan are proposed. In such case, the proponent shall undertake an update which shall follow the same process as an initial public facilities master plan. (Ord. 423 § 1 (part), 2006.)
