Olson Rezone Request Mayor Haguewood reopened the public hearing on the reconsideration of the Olson request to rezone two lots located at the southwest corner of Seventh and Race Streets from RS-.7 to RB to construct a professional office building, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. Following a brief report from Planner Carr on the previous action of the Planning Commission and Council in regard to this appli- cation, the Council heard statements in favor of the proposed rezone from attorney Craig Ritchie, representing the applicant, and Ken Sweeney, Urban Regional Planner for Clark and Associates, The applicant, Marion Olson, was also present to reiterate why she felt a rezone of this prop- erty would be advantageous. Subjects discussed included entrance and exit locations; the availability of commercially zoned land elsewhere; setback requirements in an RB zone; the proposed size of the rezone (two lots) and whether the rezone request should be for a larger area; 4 ()~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 7, 1980 VI LEGISLATION 1. Cont. approval of the proposed rezone by neighboring residents; and whether the proposed rezone would stabilize the zoning along Race Street rather than encourage strip zoning. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2102 ' entitled, Ordinance No. 2102 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles re- classifying property at the southwest corner of Seventh and Race Streets from RS-7 to RB. Councilman Buck moved the Council concur with the majority of'the Plan- ning Commission and adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by title by Mayor Haguewood, subject to the applicant working with the City Engineer on the entrance and exit preference on Seventh Street, and that a con- certed effort be made by the applicant to develop a true buffer on the west side of the property. Councilman Buck based his motion on the following findings of fact: (1) the rezone would comply with the pur- pose and intent of the RB zone, i.e. it would achieve stability of land use and land values by minimizing adverse influences of land use patterns at the edges of two dissimilar districts; (2) it would con- tribute to the tax base of the City; (3) the property is functionally close to commercial uses at a very traffic-oriented intersection, and is not so dissimilar from the commercial property at said intersection; and (4) the RB zoning would appropriately buffer those parcels immedi- ately west of the subject property, consistent with the purpose and in- tent of the zone. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried with Councilmen Hordyk and Polhamus voting "N0." B. Home Occupations Ordinance Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on a proposed ordinance con- taining procedures and standards for Home Occupations, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff.

Speaking in opposition to the proposed rezone was Leo Sunny, 127 West Third Street. Mr. Sunny expressed his concern about allowing a Com- mercial use in a residential area, and pointed out several differences between this rezone and the Taylor rezone.

That matter and the present request are parallel; C2) the granting of the Taylor rezone has resulted in a change of circumstances in the present request; and {3) the proposed use would be an asset to the area, as it is a quiet business and does not generate that much traf- fic.

Each of these speakers spoke in favor of the proposed rezone, with Mrs. McDowell submitting a petition containing twenty-seven signa- tures of neighboring residents who did not oppose an RB zone in the subject area.

On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council. 7. FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATION REQUIREMENTS A presentation on federal energy regulation requirements was given by Finance Director Rob Orton to acquaint the Council with what the City will be re- quired to do to comply with the National Energy Act and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). Mr. Orton's presentation included the goals of PURPA and an outline of the Rate Making Standards (Section 111), Service Standards (Section 113), and Lifeline Rates (Section 114). Utilities may implement or decline to implement any or all of the standards, but must first conduct an evidentiary hearing prior to making such determinations. The City Attorney may act as the Administrative Law Judge at these hearings, and a court reporter and legal transcript will also be required. Rate making standards include: (1) Cost-of-Service; (2) Declining Block Rates; (3) Time-of-Day Rates; (4) Seasonal Rates; (5) Interruptible Rates; and {6) Load Management Techniques. Service standards include: (T) Master Metering; (2) Automatic Adjustment Clauses; (3) Information to Customers; (4) Procedures for Termination of Service; and (5) Advertising. The electric utility may also allow a residential electric rate (Lifeline Rates) for essential needs (determined by the utility) which is lower than a cost of service rate. Mr. Orton also noted that the City will be unable to meet the November 9, ' 1980 deadline for an evidentiary hearing on PURPA Sections 113 and 114, and proposed the following alternate schedule: (1} October 2i, 1980 - Council adoption of the following: (a) schedule of hearing dates for Section 111, lI3 and 114; (b) date £or the evidentiary hearings on Sections 113 and 114; and (c) rules of procedure for PURPA hearings; (2) November 1, 1980 - file Form 166 for PURPA compliance. Finance Director Orton then briefly outlined the costs which could be expected from the evidentiary hearings. His main concern was possible intervenor costs, which the City may be required to pay. The City will also need consultant services to assist in the preparation of the evidentiary hearings and inter- venor issues, plus other various PURPA requirements, plus a cost-of-service study. Councilman Hordyk then moved the Council authorize staff to hire a consultant to assist in a cost~of-service study for the Light Department Utility and preparation of the PURPA requirements. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried. 8. ORDINANCE: CLALLAM COUNTY TRANSIT BUS STOPS Mayor Haguewood read a.memorandum from Public Works Director Pittis con- cerning transit bus shelters and bus stops. Tn addition to requesting use of the City right-of-way for a bus shelter on Laurel Street, the Clallam Transit System has requested five bus stops in the downtown area. The first stops will be established at Laurel Street, First and Lincoln Streets (southeast corner) and First and Cherry Streets. The other stops would only be added when ridership warrants their establishment, and after review and apgroval has been completed. Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2105 entitled, Ordinance No. 2105 ' AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending Sections 1 and 9 of Ordinance 2016, defining and establishing procedures for designation of bus stops. 4 ~ ~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 7, 1980 VI LEGISLATION 8. Cont. Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast. During discussion on the motion, Mayor Haguewood questioned the location of the bus stop at First and Lincoln, since that intersection has a very high accident rate. Manager Flodstrom will discuss the possibility of - changing that bus stop with the Transit System. Councilman Quast also ' suggested that the bus shelters not be too "unimaginative." On call for the question, the motion was passed unanimously by the Council. 9. REQUEST TO PURCHASE PROPERTY: CLALLAM TRANSIT SYSTEM During the September 16, 1980 regular Council meeting, the Council received a request from the Clallam Transit System to purchase the southwest quarter of Block 443 (City Corporation Yard) for the future location of the Transit's operations and administration center. At this meeting, Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager Flodstrom informing the Council that the five lots being considerAd for purchase would carry an assessed value of $105,000. Another option which would be available to the Council would be to lease the property to the Transit System rather than selling it. The annual lease amount for unimproved property is approximately 8~ pf the property value, or, in this case, $8,400 per year. During discussion on the Transit's request, Councilman Hordyk pointed out that the City may not have adequate future facilities at the Corporation Yard - he would be opposed to selling any property in that area until after the City's needs are recognized. Councilman Quast concurred with Councilman Hordyk, and Councilman Polhamus was of the opinion that the property should be leased to the Transit System on a long term basis instead of requiring them to located elsewhere (the subject property adjoins the City's current maintenance facility, where the Transit System has located their storage, maintenance, and refueling facilities). After a lengthy discussion between the Council, Manager Flodstrom and Transit Coordinator Bi11 MacCully re- garding the needs of the City and the needs of the Transit System, Council- man Quast moved the City indicate to the Transit System that the City is prepared to lease an appropriate amount of property to them, with the amount.of that property to be determined by staff consultation with the Transit System, with negotiations to begin in November. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried. 10.
