Commissioner Campbell moved to accept the February 16, 1994, minutes as presented
by staff. Commissioner Souders seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Following a recommendation made by Mr. Collins, Commissioner Philpott moved to
continue review of the February 23 and 24, 1994, minutes to the April 13, 1994,
meeting. It was recognized that the minutes were still in a working draft form with the
major notations and amendments having been incorporated in the draft Comprehensive
Plan to be presented to the Commission later in the meeting. Commissioner Nutter
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
IV. SHORT PLAT APPEAL:
KEY - SHP 93(06)04 - Mt. Angeles Road: Appeal of a condition of preliminary
short plat approval relating to water system improvements.
.
Brad Collins reviewed the Department memorandum and explained that the applicant is
appealing one of the five conditions (Condition No.4) of approval of the preliminary
short plat which requires extension of a six or eight-inch watermain to the property. The
condition is necessary to provide adequate water supply and fue protection as determined
by the Public Works and Fire Departments. The applicant requested that the short plat
be approved with a two-inch line; however, a two-inch line is not large enough to support
a fire hydrant or to meet the future supply needs of the vicinity but would provide
adequate supply for the proposed short plat. The Public Works Department indicated a
two-inch line would suffice for the present time if the applicant entered into a non-protest
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

.
L.l.D. agreement for future upgrade to the line. The applicant's property is bounded on
two sides by the County. Mr. Collins stated that part of the problem is the irregular City
boundary which crosses a main utility and street corridor (Mt. Angeles Road). The
situation speaks to why we avoid these types of irregular boundaries when reviewing
annexation proposals. He then answered questions from the Commission on the short plat
appeal process and noted the procedure is not a public hearing.
Ken Ridout, Deputy Director, answered Commissioner Souders that there is presently a
two-inch watermain north of the property. He confirmed that at some point in the future
when the six or eight-inch watermain is required, the proposed two-inch watermain would
have to be replaced with a larger line to serve an increased area.
The Commission concluded that placement of a two-inch line at present only to be
replaced at a point in the future would require the applicant to pay for the improvement
twice when it could be accomplished once. Mr. Collins added that this was one of the
reasons for staffs original condition of approval.
.
Bruce Becker, Fire Marshall, clarified that if a fire hydrant is to be located five hundred
feet from both of the proposed lots, the habitable structures on those lots would be
required to have residential sprinklers. A fire hydrant needs to be within two hundred
fifty feet;, with a flow of 1,000 gallons a minute if habitable structures are not
sprinklered, and within five hundred feet with a flow of 500 gallons a minute if the
structures are sprinklered. Mr. Key realized that he could not get a six-inch line to his
short plat and asked the Fire Department if they would accept a P.D.D. fire hydrant.
The Fire Department responded that if Public Works did not have a problem with the use
of a P.D.D. fire hydrant, one could be used if within the previously stated acceptable
distances with appropriate water flow. It might be more feasible for the applicant to
extend the P. U. D. fire hydrant closer to his property.
For clarification, Mr. Collins noted that the east side of Mt. Angeles Road is in the city,
while the west side is in the County.
In response to Commissioner Catts, Ken Ridout answered that the P.D.D. does not
extend waterlines into the City. The P.D.D. has agreed to extend its line approximately
five hundred feet from where it exists to the southern edge of Mr. Key's property, which
is the City's boundary in that location.
.
Johnie Key, P.O. Box 2151, Port Angeles, WA, stated that he has an agreement with
the P.D.D. to meet the City's fire flow requirements. If the line needs to be extended
more than five hundred feet, the P.D.D. will also add an additional hydrant. He will
install a six inch main in the short plat area where it meets Mt. Angeles Road which
would then be used if an L.I.D. is established at a point in the future in order not to have
to disturb the road surface at that time. The original approval requirement would require
extension of a six inch watermain 1354 feet to support future development, which is cost
prohibitive.
Following detailed discussion with the applicant and staff on the economics and estimated
future activity in the subject area, Commissioner Souders felt conditions were such that
concurrence witb the Planning Department's modified Condition No.4 is in the best

interest of the parties involved in this situation. She moved to recommend the City
Council grant the appeal with Condition No.4 amended to read as follows: "Prior
to rmal plat approval, the applicant shall provide any off~site utility easements
needed for extension of water service to the site. Water service shall be from a six
or eight inch watennain unless the applicant enters into a non~protest L.I.D.
agreement for future upgrade of the waterline, extends the two-inch watennain to
serve the short plat, and provides a P.U.D. fire hydrant accessible to the City's Fire
Department located within five hundred feet of both lots in the short plat. Any
homes shall be provided with residential sprinklers."
Commissioner Catts seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
V. PUBLIC HEARING:
PETITION FOR ANNEXATION ~ ANX 94(02)01 - RONE': Petition for
annexation of approximately 37.96 acres of property located east of Golf Course
Road between Lindberg and Maddock Roads. (The applicant has requested
continuation of this petition hearing.)
.
Chair Alexander opened the public hearing. Mr. Collins noted for the record that the
applicant had requested continuation of the petition consideration to the April 13, 1994,
meeting. There being no one present to speak to the issue, Commi"-Sioner Nutter moved
to continue the hearing to April 13, 1994, 7 p.m., City Council Chambers.
Commissioner Campbell seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Chair Alexander indicated that the remainder of the agenda would be reordered in order
to consider the GERMAN ZONING CODE AMENDMENT prior to further consideration
on the draft Comprehensive Plan. There being no objection from the audience, the
agenda was so ordered.
VI. OLD BUSINESS:
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT ~ ZCA 93(12)04 - GERMAN. Planned
Residential Development CPRD) Chapter of the City's Zonin& Re&ulations:
Proposed modification to Chapter 17.70 (PRD) Chapter of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code as it relates to Planned Residential Developments. (This item is
referred to the Commission from the City Council's March 1 meeting.)
Commissioners Souders and Campbell, having been absent from the December 8, 1993,
meeting at which this item was originally discussed, reported that they had spent
considerable time reviewing the tapes and felt qualified to join in the deliberation at this
time.
.
Chair Alexander noted that the February 15, 1994, memorandum from the applicant
stated that "... the proposed changes were misrepresented by staff'. Chair Alexander
then questioned the applicant as to if he felt the current staff report materials adequately represent the proposed change(s) as it currently exists. Mr. German answered that he
found the current (March 9) staff report materials acceptable.

.
Mr. Collins reviewed the Department's March 9, 1994, Memorandum and provided
visual displays to review the issues and ramifications of the proposal. The displays
showed the differences between open space requirements of traditional yard requirements
and PRD's and how the proposed amendments would alter them.
Staff recommended the Commission forward a recommendation to the City Council to
approve an amendment to allow a definition of a PRD for single-family planned
residential developments. Staff proposed language to Section 17.70.011 Definitions:
"PRD's that are composed of single-family lots, common usable open space and
recreation facilities." Such language doesn't preclude in its definition PRD's where
common usable open space and recreation facilities benefits could be derived. It doesn't
require common usable open space and recreation facilities, but it does allow that they
could be part of the single-family PRD.
.
The applicant's proposed wording to Section 17.70.050 Standards "All Mixed Use
Planned Residential Developments... " is not recommended by staff because the wording
is confusing as to what a mixed use is. Staff does not agree that the wording 11.. and
none of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the exterior property
lines of the PRD" should be struck from the current requirement. Working with the
applicant prior to the last City Council meeting, staff agreed to language that is similar
to the proposed wording: "Sin~le-family PRD's that have a minimum lot size equal to or
greater than the underlying single-family residential zone and a provision of maximum
lot coverae:e of no more than 30 % will be exempt from the open space requirement
provided required recreation space must not be located within the setback area." The
intent is that the underlying zone is a single-family zone. Staff agrees with the applicant
that the minimum lot size taken together with the maximum lot coverage of no more than
30 % will result in a development that has the same amount of open space as a traditional
subdivision in the individual lots. What is changed from the traditional subdivision and
current PRO requirements is that there is less need for roadway improvements and
common recreational area. The applicant states that the amendment would result in more
lot design flexibility.
The final amendment to Section 17. 70.090(E) Ap.,plication, would result in the loss of the
site specific development approval in the PRD process. The proponent's amendment
would rely on the CCR's (Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) to specify development
design. Staff believes that CCR's like private covenants are an administrative quagmire.
Approved building footprints are more enforceable. The current ordinance already allows
for administrative review of up to ten percent for flexibility. Permitting such a broad
amount of flexibility gives away the importance of site specific design. Such design can
allow a neighborhood to be comfortable with a development that is below minimum
traditional subdivision standards allowed in PRD's.
The Commission took a break at 8:45 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:55 p.m.
.
Tim German, 2025 West Twelfth Street, argued for the wording "and when applicable"
to be added to Section 17.70.011 Definitions. He argued that the definition which would
read as amended I1(G) Single-family planned residential developments: PRD's that are
composed of single family lots and. when applicable. common usable open space and
recreation facilities" would leave the possibility to either have or not have common usable

.
open space and recreation facilities if desired.
In response to a question from the Commission, Brad Collins indicated that staff could
accept the proposed wording if the Commission desires. However, if you do not
eliminate the open space requirements, you would not want the wording in your
definition.
The proposed changes in Section 17.70.50 deal with two distinct issues. The PRD
process allows the neighborhood a great deal of input as to how the neighborhood will
develop. The applicant is held to his promises and therefore the character of the
neighborhood can be defined with some assurance. Mr. German stated that there is
confusion in the comparison between open space in a PRD and that in a conventional
subdivision. Lot coverage in a PRD is different than in a traditional subdivision because
in a traditional subdivision lot coverage does not include roadways and walkways, where
in a PRD it could. The intent is to make a PRD comparable to a traditional subdivision
in lot coverage but to also allow for flexibility for the developer to be able to keep
promises made to the neighborhood. There is open space in the proposed PRD
amendment. The amendment allows for the open space to be removed from the common
area and put back into an individual lot.
.
Mr. German discussed in detail with the Commission recommended wording to Section
17.70.090(E) allowing only in single-family PRD's that building setback lines be
considered rather than building footprints. To encourage use of the PRD process a
certain amount of success has to be achieved by the developer. It is difficult to project
what will sell in future years. By predetermining where the building envelopes will be,
restrictions are made on future development of the site. CCR' s can be used to enforce
development within the PRD as well as strict building footprints. Speaking as a
developer, a conventional subdivision is much more cost effective than a PRD; however,
a PRD allows the neighborhood to have input and assures quality neighborhood
developments.
Mr. German stated that he has no objection to staffs proposed wording that adds "single-
family residential zone" to Section 17.70.050. He expressed concern, however, that in
speaking of usable open space which must be used for recreational purposes where "none
of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the exterior property lines
of the PRD. to The problem with this restriction is that it adds 20% open space to a
development. Therefore, the density is limited because the remainder of the development
(buildings, roads, utility, parking) all have to be within the remainder of the site (50%).
On the one hand the offer of bonus densities is made, and then removed with this
restriction. The promised densities are unachieveable with the requirement. Creative use
of the setback areas could include uses which could be considered as a buffer, such as a
walking path, if allowed to be used as open space. The current PRD standards result in
5,000 square foot lots or smaller due to the common usable open space requirement.
.
Following lengthy, detailed discussion between the Commission which included the
applicant, Commissioner Souders stated that the PRD allows development to an urban
density with protection of critical areas. Common usable open space and open space are
two different elements. Common usable open space does not include impervious
surfaces, which are not part of the lot coverage, and doesn't equal someone,s back yard.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

.
Open space can afford opportunities for many residential structures to comingle without
affecting each other in the same manner as if there was open space to buffer the
structures. Commissioner Souders then moved to recommend amendment to Section
17.70.011(G) as proposed by staff; 17.70.050 proposed by stafft leaving in the
wording "and none of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the
exterior lines of the PRD" adding the sentence "Sinele-family PRD's that bave a
minimum lot size equal to or ereater to the underlyine sin&le-family residential zone
and maximum lot coveraee of no more than 30% may use exterior setback areas as
part of its common usable open space provided required recreation space must not
be located in the exterior setback area." She clarified that this would only allow use
of the setback areas for (non-recreational) common usable open space in single-family
PRD's. Section 17.70.090(E) to be amended per the applicant's request adding the
wording "... dimensions of buildings or buildine setback lines in the case of Sinele-
Family PRDts..." Commissioner Catts seconded the motion for discussion.
Commissioner Campbell wished to clarify his concern that under the proposal it is still
possible to design a PRD that can use smaller lot sizes than the underlying zoning. The
current PRD standards allow great flexibility.
.
Mr. German indicated that under the proposal, single-family PRD's that must have
minimum lot sizes equal to the underlying zoning plus the 30% open space will mean the
PRD will result in densities that are lower than allowed by the underlying zoning district.
PRD's will then never be used. The Commission agreed.
Commissioner Alexander added that if you don't give the exemption from the open space
requirement then it is too restrictive for any developer.
Commissioner Souders agreed but concluded that, without the minimum lot size wording
as proposed, the (subdivision) regulations should not be allowed to change. She would
not concur with exemption from any open space requirement for PRD's.
Brad Collins added clarification for the Commission concerning open space requirements
for PRD's. Up to 15% credit can be achieved under the proposed language in the
exterior setbacks, which is what was originally recommended to the City Council on
December 8, 1993.
Chair Alexander and Commissioner Nutter expressed concern that all of the ramifications
of the proposed amendment are not evident at this point. They were hesitant to proceed.
Commissioner Catts withdrew his second, and Commissioner Souders withdrew her
motion, as they agreed with Chair Alexander and Commissioner Nutter.
.
In response to a question from Commissioner Campbell, Chair Alexander explained that
the applicant has modified his original proposal. The City Council referred the issue to
the Commission for a recommendation on the modification.
Commissioner Campbell expressed concern that a model ordinance might be modified
because of a particular sitution or a particular developer's problem. The Planning
Commission's recommendation of December 8, 1993, had merit and addressed at least
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

.
one of the proponent's concerns which was appropriate but did not damage the integrity
of the remainder of the basic PRD ordinance which ' addresses the needs and concerns of
this type of development. The proponent has introduced some very good points, but
there may be other methods to deal with building footprint restrictions than what is being
proposed.
Brad Collins offered wording to Section 17.70.090 which might address design review
standards and be acceptable to the Commission.
Commissioner Nutter moved to forward the Commission's December 8, 1993,
recommendation to the Council for favorable consideration. The motion died for
lack of a second.
It was the general concern of the Commission that the PRD Ordinance is being taken
apart piecemeal.
.
Following further discussion and counsel from the Chair and staff as to how to proceed
at this point, Commissioner Campbell moved to recommend the City Council amend
Sections 17.70.011 (G) and 17. 70.050(B) as originally recommended by the
Commission on December 8, 1993, to add a defmition for single-family planned
residential developments and to allow the non-recreation portion of the common
usable open space to be located within the exterior setback areas of single-family
PRD's only. Also that Section 17.70.090(E) be revised to read "Preliminary site
plans showing existing and proposed contours at five-foot intervals, location and
principal dimensions of buildings or buildine setback lines in the case of sinele-
family PRD's (provided that when only buildinl: setback lines are required then the
CCR's will establish required architectural desien review). open space, recreation
areas, parking areas, circulation, landscape areas, subdivision platting and general
arrangement," citing the following fmdings and conclusions:
Findin~:
1. Comprehensive Plan Residential Goal A, Policy No.6 states that planned unit
development and planned residential development techniques should
emphasize the overall density of the development rather than individual lots
or dwelling units.
2. The proposal is to modify Chapter 17.70 PAMC by adding a defmitioD for
Single-Family PRD's, amending the development standards for common
usable open space, eliminating the requirement for common usable open
space in Single-Family PRD's, and allowing for building setback lines for
single-family PRD's.
3.
The purpose of Chapter 17.70 is to encourage design flexibility, conserve
natural amenities, allow for innovative residential development, and result in
a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-Iot
development.

A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the proposal on
November 15, 1993.
.
Conclusions:
A. As recommended, the Zoning Code Amendments are in the public use and
interest.
B. As recommended, the Zoning Code Amendments are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies, specifically those found in Finding
No. 1.
C. As recommended, the Zoning Code Amendments are consistent with the
intent of Chapter 17.70 of the Port Angeles Muncipal Code.
D. The proposal to eliminate the requirements for common usable open space in
single-family PRD's is inconsistent with the intent of Chapter 17.70 of the
Port Angeles Municipal Code.
Commissioner Philpott seconded the motion. The question was called for and passed
4-2, with Commissioners Alexander and Nutter voting in the negative.
.
Chair Alexander added that his negative vote was because it is a mistake to amend the
PRD Ordinance in a piecemeal manner. Any revision should be approached in a more
systematic manner. A good start for systematic review would be at the time of review
of development ordinances subsequent to adoption of the revised Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Nutter agreed and added that she did not feel comfortable with the section
dealing with setback lines. More specific plans to ensure the intent of the PRD are
needed for thorough review; setback lines are not enough.
..,
The Commission concurred that this action would not preclude further review of the PRD
regulations.
The time being 10:15 p.m., Commissioner Campbell moved to continue with the
remainder of the agenda items until 11 p.m. Commissioner Philpott seconded the
motion, which passed unanimously.
