South Cle Elum approves Conditional Use Permit for periodic nursery sales, bars extended parking on South Cle Elum Way
Summary
The Town Council approved a Conditional Use Permit allowing periodic retail sales of nursery plants, adding a condition prohibiting extended parking that would block traffic on South Cle Elum Way and directing staff to notify the applicant in writing.
The South Cle Elum Town Council approved a Conditional Use Permit Wednesday for periodic retail sales of nursery plants, adding explicit parking limits to address neighbor concerns. Mayor DeVere opened the public hearing and, after Clerk Luanne read two supportive neighbor comments, council members discussed risks of customer parking on South Cle Elum Way.
Mayor DeVere proposed approval with an added condition that "no extended parking takes place on South Cle Elum Way or block traffic in any way," and directed staff to send the condition in writing to the applicant. Councilmember McGuire made the motion to approve the CUP with those conditions, Allenbaugh seconded, and the motion passed by majority vote. The hearing was closed at 7:12 p.m.
Why it matters: The added restriction aims to protect traffic flow and neighboring property access while allowing a small-scale, periodic retail operation in town. The council recorded neighbor support in the hearing record; staff will follow up with the applicant to ensure the condition is understood and enforceable.
