Section 1. Ordinance 2818 as amended and the Comprehensive Plan are hereby

1
V. LAND -USE ELEMENT
General Comments
The Land Use Element establishes City policy regarding how land may be developed. This element
and its Land Use Map establishes the following six comprehensive plan land use categories:
Low Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential,
High Density Residential,
Commercial,
Industrial, and
Open Space.
These land use categories are described below and located on the Land Use Map (See Figure 10).
Low Density Residential (Up to 9 Units per Net Acre)
The Land Use Map identifies three separate categories of residential development. The first is Low
Density Residential which allows an overall residential density of a project or property to range up
to 9 units per net acre. The high majority of residentially designated property in the City will be of
this designation. It is intended for the development of single family homes. It also allows for the
development of duplexes and planned residential developments in accordance with the underlying
zoning.
Medium Density Residential (Up to 15 Units per Net Acre)
The primary intent of this designation is for the development of multiple residential unit projects
including but not limited to duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, apartments and planned
residential developments at a density up to 15 units per net acre.
High Density Residential (Up to 43 Units per Net Acre, Except that Existing Motel or Hotel
Units May Be Converted to Residential Units at a Density Greater than 43 Units per Net Acre)
The primary intent of this designation is for development at a density up to 43 units per net acre and
is intended for areas where a higher concentration of residents is compatible with the surrounding
area and uses. Condominiums, apartments and planned residential developments are the types of
building designs appropriate for this category.
Commercial
The Land Use Map contains one commercial category, thus providing maximum flexibility to the
City's Zoning Ordinance in regulating the types of commercial uses and their permitted locations.
2
Industrial
The Land Use Map also designates only one industrial category, thus again providing maximum
flexibility to the City's Zoning Ordinance in regulating the types of industrial uses and their
permitted locations.
Open Space
The Open Space category includes areas of the City that contain unique or major physical features,
such as marine shorelines, bluffs, ravines, major streams, wetlands, critical wildlife habitat, and
other natural areas deemed of significant importance to the community. This category also includes
park and recreational uses. The development of natural open space areas shall be limited to only that
which is necessary and does not degrade the significance of the area.
Section 2. Said Comprehensive Plan amendment shall be incorporated into the
Comprehensive Plan as kept on file with the City Clerk.
Section 3 - Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect five days after the date of
publication by summary.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meeting of said
Council held on the 19thday of June , 2000.
