Enumclaw City Zoning Code

The CB-1 central business district is intended to preserve and enhance areas within which the greatest possible concentration of retail sales and business will occur. The district will be applied to the "downtown core" area based upon the general guidelines established in the comprehensive plan. The buildings and uses permitted reflect the desire to have parking provided on a district-wide basis rather than having each individual building or use provide parking except for CB-1. Uses in this district support a more pedestrian-oriented environment, require less parking and are less automobile-oriented than uses in the HCB zone.

Reference Chapter 18.05 EMC, Land Use Matrix, for uses permitted in the CB-1 district.

Reference Chapter 18.05 EMC, Land Use Matrix, for uses conditionally permitted in the CB-1 district.

Reference Chapter 18.06 EMC, Development Standards, for density, dimensional and development standards applicable in the CB-1 district.

Developments along those portions of Cole Street that still have older single-family homes shall be compatible with those homes. When feasible, compatibility shall be achieved by commercial conversion of existing homes. Where reuse of existing structures is not practical, new structures shall be designed in a manner that reflects, echoes, and honors, but does not necessarily copy, the surrounding older structures in terms of size, shape, exterior materials, openings, and landscaping.
