MATTERS/ PROCLAMATIONS: WORK SESSION: Meeting with Port of Port Angeles Commissioners: Meeting with Port of Port Valley Creek Estuary Update: The Port of Port Angeles Commissioners, Angeles Commissioners Councilmembers, and staff members were introduced, after which Manager Quinn stated the joint meeting between the Port and City was being held to discuss various Valley Creek Estuary waterfront issues in an effort to proceed with a focused direction for planning purposes. Update Parks & Recreation Director Connelly provided a brief overview of the status of the Valley Creek Estuary Project, and a blueprint was offered as a visual aid to show how the project is at a 60-70% completion point. With additional City help, the project should be complete by September 1, 2001. An update was given on completed and pending aspects of the project, and Dave Hagiwara explained, with the help of visual aids, how the land in the estuary has been moving and evolving on its own which is a desired outcome by the Department ofFish & Wildlife. Mr. Hagiwara further explained the substance of the mitigation efforts, noting that the Port had received credits from - 1 - CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4387 February 20, 2001 Valley Creek Estuary Fish & Wildlife for this project. Other mitigation may come forward in the upper Update (Cont'd) Valley Creek area. Update On Shipyard/Log Update on Shipyard/Log Yard: Mr. Hagiwara explained the proposed expansion of the Yard current log and shipyard, the goal being to diversify with a priority on marine trades to include a haul-out facility, a pressure wash facility, and boat repair. A current source of substantial revenue for the Port and the economy is log handling, and consideration is being given to moving the log handling area closer to Daishowa. Research is still being conducted on chemicals used in the pressure wash facility and whether they are environmentally sound. There are various options under scrutiny concerning the treatment of the chemicals, to include the use of a fresh water system which would treat the water before it is released into the City sewer lines. Mr. Hagiwara expressed appreciation to Manager Quinn and Fire Chief McKeen for their assistance with the Westport ship yard cabinet shop. Manager Quinn indicated the City is committed to the creation of jobs, as well as economic vitality in the community. Oak Street Property Oak Street Property: Discussion centered around the merits of a tidelands swap involving the City, the Port, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as relates to the Oak Street property. Economic Development Director Smith led discussion on the history of the Oak Street property, noting discussions were held in 1998 on the possibility of the City marketing the Oak Street property. He also noted that the City had acquired the Cronauer property, and there is legislation that would in some instances allow such a land swap which might facilitate the sale of the property to a private sector developer. It was agreed that the Port and the City need to further explore this possibility and reach agreement as to the value of the property and how intermittent or temporary uses of the property would fit into the waterfront plans. Commissioner Waud pointed out that the Port owns the land, rip rap, and fill, and DNR owns the tidelands. He felt there is a benefit to not using the land for storing logs, but that has resulted in an annual loss to the Port of $30,000. Commissioner Beckman felt there would be more interest in development of the property if someone could purchase the property outright. In the ensuing discussion, it was agreed that the Oak Street property likely had more implications for the City and the downtown area and, if the Port could receive revenue for the property that could be used elsewhere for boat repair and more jobs, then there would be no reason to not support this endeavor. However, there was a word of caution in that DNR may not be able to sell the property, plus Manager Quinn indicated there would still be regulations and issues surrounding the development. Having heard no opposition to the pursuit of such a land swap, Manager Quinn suggested that more information be gathered, property values determined, and another meeting of the legislative bodies scheduled to further consider the feasibility of the idea. Dave Hagiwara referenced certain regulations that would be a consideration to a land swap, one of which is that the property being exchanged should have similar characteristics. He described various other properties that the Port of Port Angeles owns, to include 25 acres of the former Tozier property. Mr. Hagiwara felt these properties could be possible contenders in a land swap scenario. Commissioner Beil directed attention to the Landing Mall and current discussions related to a convention center: He felt there are beneficial uses for the Landing Mall that might be considered, a suggestion that was supported by Mayor Doyle and the Council. It is important that a decision be made that is beneficial to the City, the Port, and the entire community. Discussion was also held on potential temporary uses for the Oak Street property Manager Quinn addressed the needed coordination and planning for the waterfront, which should likely include such entities as the Lower Elwha Tribe, Daishowa, the -2- CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4388 February 20, 2001 Oak Street Property Coast Guard, the K-Ply Mill, and the City. In the past, there has been a great deal of (Cont'd) somewhat disjointed planning, and Manager Quinn addressed the importance of a cooperative planning effort. He indicated the City has set aside $10,000 for planning purposes in this regard, and he suggested the group plan to meet again in six months to further discuss the formulation of a coordinated waterfront plan. In closing remarks, the Councilmembers and Port Commissioners expressed the importance of continuing these types of meetings, as the collaboration of both groups would prove to be beneficial to the entire community. This portion of the meeting was concluded at 7:05 p.m. PUBLIC HEARINGS- Rezone Request - REZ 01-01 - Morningview, Southeast corner of Lindberg and Golf QUASI-JUDICIAL: Course Roads: Rezone of 9+ acres from RS-9, Residential Single Family, to RHD, Residential High Density: Mayor Doyle summarized the information submitted by Rezone Request - Director Collins regarding the Morningview Development rezone request. Associate Momingview Planner Barnes provided a detailed review of the request, noting that the Planning Ordinance No. 3074 Commission recommended approval of the rezone. Staff review concluded that the rezone created an affordable .43 lot design for possible development. Ms. Barnes showed a visual transparency outlining the location of the property, the Bonneville easement, and the current designation under the Comprehensive Plan. She indicated there was possibly a wetland area in the vicinity that may impact any development. Mayor Doyle opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. Lance Ruddick, 1937 Maddock Road, expressed concerned with the amount of property available for development, the potential for increased traffic, and the amount to be paid for sewer hookups. Mayor Doyle stated that if a rezone should be approved, the developer would still have to return with site specific plans for approval. Mr. Ruddick was concerned that if the property were to be rezoned as high density, the City's wishes and the public's wishes may be null and void. Mr. Ruddick was curious if there was a level between high density and low density zoning, and Ms. Barnes responded there is medium density, where 112 units could be a possibility. If rezoned as high density, then the property could accommodate 347 units. There being no further testimony, Mayor Doyle closed the public hearing at 7:30 p.m He read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 3074 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, rezoning approximately 9.17+ acres located at the southeast comer 'of Lindberg Road and Golf Course Road from RS-9, Residential Single Family, to RHD, Residential High Density, and amending Ordinance 2801, as amended. Mayor Doyle stated there were questions circulating about Lindberg Road and the possibility of it becoming part of a future crosstown route. If so, would this property rezone affect the crosstown route. Ms. Barnes responded that the idea had been shelved but the road would likely need width improvements by the developer. Councilman Wiggins asked if there were fees assessed with the sewer lines. Director Cutler responded affirmatively, noting that the level of fees depends on the number of units. Councilman Wiggins moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, citing Findings 1 - 13 and Conclusions A - E, as set forth in Exhibit "A' which is attached to and becomes a part of these minutes. The motion was seconded by Councilman Campbell and carried unanimously. -3- CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4389 February 20, 2001 FINANCE: 1.

Director Cutler examined what would happen to yard waste without the bum ban and smaller containers. Director Cutler summarized for the Council a 45-day curbside test on removing plastics from yard waste, which proved to be a success. Several commercial organizations have 'offered to take the unwanted larger material. The use of plastic bags will be prohibited, as it adds $20,000 a year to subtract the plastic from the yard waste refuse. Councilman Campbell inquired about the use of biodegradable bags, and Director Cutler indicated that particular type of bag still takes a substantial amount of time to compost. The -4- CITY COUNCIL MEETING 43913 February 20, 2001 ORDINANCES NOT containers and bundles that would be allowed by the Ordinance should be a sufficient REQUIRING PUBLIC means to dispose of yard waste.

Ul~nfC~ Cl~rk/- - Lar~ Do~, Mayor -8- Exhibit "A" 4394 RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF REZONE APPLICATION - REZ 01-01 - MORNINGVIEW: Based on the information provided in the public record and any written comments received during the public comment period, and the Planning Commission's deliberation, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission makes a recommendation of approval of REZ 01-01 based of the following 13 findings and 5 conclusions: Findings: 1. The rezone is proposed by a property owner, Heerschamp Family L.L.C. for a change in the zoning designation from Residential, Single Family (RS-9) to Residential, High Density for one parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Lindberg and Golf Course Roads. The legal description of the property is as follows: The West 4.5 acres of the Northeast quarter of the Southwest quarter of the Northwest quarter and the North half of the Northwest quarter of said Southwest quarter of the Northwest quarter of Section 13, Township 30 North, Range 6 West, W.M., C/a/lam County, Washington, excepting the North 20 feet and the West 30 feet, and the portion conveyed to the City of Port Angeles in Auditor File No. 1997 1000500. 2. The proposal encompasses a small area between the Bonneville Power Administration electrical transmission lines and Peninsula Golf Club. 3. The applicant previously requested a change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for the subject property from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR), under CPA 00-03 which was approved by the City Council. 4. The proposed Zoning Map amendment would increase the vacant, buildable high density residential land available in the City by approximately 9 acres and reduce the vacant, buildable, Iow density residential land availability by the same. 5. The most recent land use analysis in Port Angeles was summarized in the Community Profile Section of the Comprehensive Plan. This section states that there are 12 acres of buildable areas zoned high density residential multi-family lands, as compared to 491 acres of buildable areas zoned Iow density residential. The Iow density residential zoning designations comprises approximately 46% of the total land base within the City limits, as compared to 4% of the high density residential. Findings and Conclusions REZ 01-01 February 20, 2001 6. The Clallam County Housing Needs Assessment (1999) indicated that there were 1,878 multi-family rental units in 1998. According to the Washington State Office of Financial Management, the City's April 2000, official population estimates were based on 78% single family and 22% multi-family housing units with a declining household size. The trend in single family and multi-family housing percentages in other communities also indicates increasing needs for multi-family zoned land. There have been minimal changes in the City's development in the second half of the decade of the 1990's. 7. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposed amendment, and the City's Comprehensive Plan Growth Management Element Goal A, Policies A. ld, Land Use Element Goal B and C, Policy C.1-C.4, Utility and Public Services Goals A and D, Policies A.1, D.1, D.11, Housing Element Goal A, Policy A.5, Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.9 and A.10, and Economic Development Goals B and Policy B.5 were found to be the most relevant. These goals and policies encourage a variety of residential opportunities and densities within a community of viable districts and neighborhoods, creating the desired urban design of the City where housing in available and affordable. 8. The properties in the area along Golf Course Road were annexed into the City several years ago, and a Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) was formed to provide sewer services. 9. Although the subject area is served by Lindberg and Golf Course Roads, both of which are arterial streets, roadway improvements will be needed at the time of development for City street standards to be met and projected traffic demand to be satisfied. In addition, compliance with all other requirements set forth by the PAMC will be necessary at the time of development of the subject property. 10. The Comprehensive Plan goals and policies also direct that utility services be provided in an efficient and cost-effective manner, distributed equitably across the City, and designed for the maximum planned density and/or land use intensity of a given area. 11. There are several other High Density Residential designations in the vicinity of the subject area adjacent to the Peninsula Golf Club, including Melody Lane and DelGuzzi Drive. 12. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued per WAC 197-11-355 on May 23, 2000. 13. The public comment period for this application concluded December 27, 2000, during which time, no comments were received. Findings and Conclusions REz 01-01 t~3 9 6 February 20, 2001 Conclusions: A. The proposal to change the Residential, Single Family (RS-9) zoning designation at the southeast corner of Golf Course and Lindberg Roads to Residential, High Density (RHD) is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Map, Comprehensive Plan Growth Management Goal A and Policy A.1 .d, and Land Use Element Goals B and C, Policies C.1-C.4, Utilities and Public Services Element Goals A and D, Policies A. 1, D.1, and D.11, Housing Element Goal A and Policy A.5, Capital Facilities Element Goal A and Policies A.9 and 1.10, and Economic Development Element Goal B and Policy B.5. B. Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. C. High density housing could be deemed a transitional use between the Bonneville Power Administration electrical transmission lines and the golf course without adversely impacting the residential nature of the housing and vacant lands in the area. D. The proposed Zoning map amendment is consistent with other developments in the Peninsula Golf Course area which are oriented to retirement and recreational interests. E. The City's action on Zoning Map Amendment REZ 01-01 is consistent with the established procedures for amending the Zoning Code set forth in Section 17.96.100, Port Angeles Municipal Code. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of February 20, 2001. L~l:r~ D~e, Mavc)r' / B-ec~ J. ~to~ City~l~r~-
