How to Submit a Construction Management Plan

Construction Management Plans for certain construction projects identify tools to coordinate, communicate, and manage the temporary effects of construction activity on surrounding residents, businesses, and commuters in the community. Construction Management Plans shall be submitted by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit.

Per SMMC 8.98.030, if the project meets both of the following criteria, a Construction Management Plan will be required.

1. The project includes:

• Construction of seven thousand five hundred square feet or more of new or additional nonresidential floor area;
• Construction of sixteen or more new or additional residential units; or
• Construction of one thousand or more square feet of new or additional nonresidential floor area within the Downtown Community Plan area.

2. The project entails excavation or hauling by vehicles of dirt or construction materials to or from the project site that involves closure of or access to the public right-of-way, including any public street, roadway, parkway, alley, sidewalk, or pedestrian path.

The Transportation Planner assigned to your project will provide additional information regarding the Construction Management Plan during the entitlement and/or building plan check process.
