City: Hawks Crest meets 20% open‑space requirement overall though common‑space split needs correction

Oct 30, 2026

City staff and the applicant said Hawks Crest provides more than the 20% open‑space requirement for a 6.4‑acre site but acknowledged a 578‑square‑foot discrepancy in the common‑open‑space split; staff attached a condition requiring a corrected open‑space plan before building permits are issued.

The site‑plan approval and testimony show the Lacey Municipal Code requires 20% open space for qualifying multifamily developments. The city's approval letter lists the 20% requirement as 55,757 sq ft for this 6.4‑acre site; applicant engineer Tyrell Bradley said the project provides about "56,000 and change" in total open space and that the project therefore meets the 20% threshold.
