Pierce County has issued environmental reviews for two residential projects in the Puyallup area and a solar energy code update. The Himenes project involves correcting a site development violation on a 12.27-acre parcel, with 71,500 square feet of fill and grade work. The Clover Springs PDD project proposes 72 single-family lots on 14.25 acres in the Puyallup area, with a density of 6 units per acre. The solar code update would require project-specific permits for solar and battery storage systems. Public comments on the Himenes and Clover Springs projects are due by September 3, 2026. The solar code update comments are due September 1. Pierce County Planning and Public Works will consider the solar code amendments at a council meeting.
