Fleischmann’s property is up for MIC consideration By Daniel Nash Staff Writer

The city of Sumner has released a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement regarding two Fleischmann’s Industrial Park LLC properties, one of which the company intends for a North Star chemical storage facility. The public is invited to submit input by Jan. 17. Specifically, the Impact Statement addresses potential amendments to Sumner’s Manufacturing/Industrial Center and Town Center Plan, which would allow the 21.3 acres along Fryar Avenue (the official address is 1115 Zehnder) to be rolled into the industrial center footprint. The properties, an empty field and the

Fleischmann’s Yeast and Vinegar Plant, are already zoned as Light Industrial and Heavy Industrial. The parcels’ incorporation into the Industrial Center would preclude the possibility of planned mixed use development, such as residences, as determined by the Town Center Plan. For that reason, Sumner officials denied Fleischmann’s docket proposal when it was first presented in 2010. Fleischmann’s appealed to the Puget Sound Growth Management Hearing Board, and the Board decided the city had not provided enough supporting documentation to prop up its argument. Under those marching orders, the city produced the present impact statement.
