SEPA Threshold Determination
The City issued the SEPA threshold determination for Greenline Warehouse “A” on the IRG campus. SEPA is the state-required determination that evaluates certain environmental impacts
by a proposed development. The City’s SEPA determination is called a “Mitigated Determination of Non-significance.”
A SEPA appeal was filed on November 30, 2018. The SEPA appeal hearing will occur at a time after expiration of the Use Process III appeal period.

Use Process Decision
The Use Process (UP) application is Part 2 of land use approval for a development (SEPA being Part 1). The Use Process decision accounts for local codes not covered by SEPA, such as
the Weyerhaeuser Concomitant Agreement.
UP Decision was issued February 4, 2019 and the appeal period ends February 21.
UP decision does not authorize construction; separate construction and building permits are required.
