Section 2. Ordinance 3272, as amended, and Chapter 17.19 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code are hereby amended by amending PAMC 17.19.010, .040, .050(A), and .090
to read as follows:
17.19.010 Purpose. This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations that
permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities critical
area amenities, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the
underlying zone.
It is intended that a Planned Residential Development (PRD) will result in a more fully designed
residential development environment of higher quality than traditional subdivision lot- bq-lot
development. The resulting development shall be done in a manner consonant with the public
health, safety, and welfare illustrated in the specifically approved site design by use of a design
process that includes within the site design all that provides all of the components of a fully
developed residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, pre- determined building
types and locations, and natural features protection, and utility services.
•
•
•
It is also mtcndcd that aA PRD application may combine a number of land use decisions such
as critical areas protection, conditional use permits, rezones, and subdivisions into a single
project review process to encourage timely public hearings and decisions and to provide for more
open space and transitional housing densities than is required or may be permitted between single
family and multi- family zones. The consolidation of permit reviews does not exempt applicant(s)
from meeting the regulations and submitting the fees and applications normally required for the
underlying permit processes. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this overlay zone and then
only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses.
This overlay zone provides for the opportunity to create self - contained residential neighborhoods
with a predetermined variety of housing choices and without following a standard system of
public streets and lot design, and with allowances for mixed use, residential and neighborhood
commercial developments that are not usually permitted in residential zones.
17.19.040 Permitted Modifications of Land Use Regulations. The approval of a PRD
may include modifications in the requirements and standards of the underlying land use
regulations of the zone in which the project is located subject to the limitations of this Chapter.
Any modification to the requirements and standards of the underlying zone must be specifically
described in the application materials and be thoroughly reviewed to be included in the final PRD
approval. No approval shall include a modification, variance or waiver of the exterior setback
areas required by the underlying zones along the exterior property lines of the PRD, wetland
buffer reduction standards of PAMC 15.24.070(3), or of the requirements of the Shoreline Master
Program except as provided in Chapter 173 -14 WAC.
17.19.050 Standards. The following standards shall apply to all PRDs:
A. All street and utility improvements shall be constructed to urban standards
specified by the City of Port Angeles. Street widths may vary from widths required in the
Subdivision Regulations. , and i Interior streets shall be dedicated public streets. may be cithcr
