for private property rights in order to avoid regulatory takings or violation
of due process and to protect property rights of landowners from arbitrary
and discriminatory actions.
Commissioner Alexander offered the following goal and policies for the
Commission's consideration. It was agreed that the following annexation goal and
policies should be added to the document:
Goal
B. To ensure the orderly transition of land within the P A UGA into the City of Port
Angeles.
Policies:
.L.
Annexation of land which is outside the established boundaries of the PAUGA
shall not be allowed.
2.... Annexation of land from within the established boundaries of the PAUGA shall
be in accordance with the established Annexation Policies of the City.
.l. Annexation of land which is not adjacent to and/or contiguous with the established
City Limits boundary line shall not be allowed.

5. Annexation and development of land shall be consistent with the orderly extension
of urban services/facilities and in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan
and capital facility planning.
.6... No annexation of land shall be allowed in which existing development cannot
meet the established concurrency requirements of the City within six years from

No annexation of land should be allowed which results in decreased minimum
standards for City solid waste collection. stormwater management programs.
and/or telecommunication services provided to existing residents of the City.
Objective
1. The City will continue its efforts to comply in a timely manner with
requirements of the State Growth Management Act.
LAND-USE ELEMENT
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 use
development of Stteh natural open space areas shall be limited to only that which is
necessary and whieft does not degrade the significance of the area.
Land Use Map Gilal, Policies and Objective
Goal
A. To guide current and future development within the City in a manner that
provides certainty to its citizens about future land use and the flexibility necessary
to meet the challenges and oJWOrtunities of the future.
Policies
L The Comprehensive Plan land Use Map should be used as a conceptual guide for
determining current and long range zoning and other land use decisions. The
map's land use desil:nations are intended to show areas where general land use
types are allowed. The area between land use designations should be considered
an imprecise margin in order to provide flexibility in determining the boundary
of such areas. When determining appropriate zoning designations for an area near
a margin. the goals. policies and objectives of the Land Use Element should take
precedence.
2... All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its
appointed Commissions. Boards or Committees should be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and its land use map.
Obiective
.L.
The City will review and revise as necessary the existing Zoning Ordinance.
Zoning Map. and other development regulations to ensure consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan.
