Planned Mixed Use District

The PMU district is established to apply to larger parcels of land with significant development potential and to achieve the following purposes: To assure that large new development creates a complete and interdependent Cle Elum community that contains a mix of land uses that provides for most of the daily needs of its residents and visitors including recreation, employment, housing affordable to all residents and education; To obtain development within the city with imaginative site planning in a compatible mixture of land uses that will encourage pedestrian rather than automotive access to employment opportunities and goods and services; To encourage building design that is in keeping with the climate and the traditional rural, small town, mountain character of the Cle Elum area; To ensure sensitivity in land use and design to adjacent land uses within the PMU district, and to avoid creating incompatible land uses; To ensure that all development gives adequate consideration to and provides mitigation for the impacts it creates with respect to transportation, public utilities, open space, recreation and public facilities, and that circulation, solid waste disposal and recycling, water, sewer and stormwater systems are designed to the extent feasible to be adequate to serve future adjacent development that can reasonably be expected; and To ensure that development protects and preserves the natural environment to the maximum extent possible, including but not limited to protecting the water quality of the Cle Elum and Yakima Rivers, contributing to the long-term solution of flooding problems, protecting wetlands and sensitive areas, protecting views and providing a wooded background and ridge adjacent to the community.
