PUBLIC HEARINGS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 92(02)01 - SWANSON, "C" Street Extension:
Request to allow a duplex in the RS-9, Residential Single-Family District.

The applicant intends to submit a request for variance which will be heard in May. The
Planning Department recommends that the public hearing be continued to May 13 in order to
allow for the variance review to be completed.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, CUP 92(04)04 - BUDGET RENT-A-CAR - Northeast
comer of Front and Oak Streets: Request to allow the development of a commercial
parking lot in the CBD, Central Business District.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report and explained the Planning Department is
recommending the public hearing be continued to May 13, 1992, as the SEPA comment period
will continue to April 11, 1992.
Chairman Souders opened the public hearing at 7: 15 P.M,
Jim Heckman, 709 South Ennis, explained that he has already spent several thousand dollars
in improving the lot for his business, which included removing vegetation, leveling the site and
adding a rock base. The lot acts as an overflow lot for ferry traffic. It is used when the other
parking areas are filled. Without it, there would be parking problems along the downtown
streets. He explained his lease of the property is on a short tenn basis and therefore it is not
feasible to spend $20,000 on paving improvements.
Commissioner Philpott asked if the $20,000 figure was arrived at through a bidding process.
Mr. Heckman responded that his estimate was based on a per square foot ballpark figure
provided by Lakeside Industries.
Commissioner Winters asked if there is any drainage collection system currently on the lot. Mr.
Heckman did not believe there was. He added that the lot was used by City employees for
several years.
Commissioner Leonard asked staff why the City did not pave the lot when they were using it.
Ken Ridout responded that the owner, Mr. Capos, would not permit the City to pave it.
Commissioner Leonard explained to the applicant that because the condition for paving the lot
is a DNS mitigation measure, the Planning Commission has no authority to overturn that
condition unless it is appealed.
Commissioner Leonard moved to continue the public hearing to May 13, 1992. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Philpott and carried unanimously.
PARKING VARIANCE, PKV 92(04)01 HOSPICE OF CLALLAM COUNTY - 540 East
_, -_Eighth Street:...Request.to a110w,a.reduction ~from . the "required 10 parking spaces to 3
parking spaces in association with an addition to an existing non-conforming use
situation.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Commissioner Leonard asked why the City
began to use the three variance criteria for reviewing parking variances. John Jimerson
responded that the Parking Ordinance does not provide clear direction for evaluating variance
requests and so three criteria from the Zoning Ordinance are used to provide guidance.
PLANNING COMMISSION

.
Brad Collins added that in granting a parking variance, the City must find that the purpose of
the Parking Ordinance is met, and the three criteria help to determine if the parking ordinance
purpose is met.
Chairman Souders opened the public hearing at 7:30 P.M.
Rob Linklettert 1324 East First Streett reviewed the proposed site plan modifications and
explained it is impossible to provide ten spaces on site. Although no additional parking spaces
are proposed the design of the lot has been improved. Cars no longer will need to back out into
the street. The user of the building, Hospice of Clallam County, would have no more than three
persons working at anyone time. The existing utility poles and support cables constitutes a
limitation upon access into the site.
Rose Crombt 236 East Ninth Street, explained the difficulty Hospice has experienced in
finding an affordable location. The process has taken more than five years. They would never
need nine parking spaces, the most needed at anyone time is three. Many volunteers are older
and walk to the office.
Vincent Murray, no address given, explained that he is involved with Hospice in several
aspects. The service that is provided is to the betterment of the community. He does not drive
to the facility, rather, he rides his bicycle.
. Ruth Wightt 1338 East Seventh, stated she is a part time staff member and full time volunteer
for Hospice. The proposal will help create a welcoming neighborhood environment.
There being no further public testimony I Chairman Souders closed the public hearing at 7:55
P.M.
Commissioner Catts moved to approve the proposed Parking Variance, PKV 92(04)0It
citing the following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
1. The request is to increase the building floor area on a developed site by 360 square feet
without providing additional required parking.
2. Currently the office building requires nine parking spaces, about three are provided.
- With the . addition;-" ten . spaces ' would -be-required "and"three"provided; .
3. [n addition to containing a 1628 square foot office building, a single family house exists
on site. The single family home contains at least two additional parking spaces for its
use.
.
4.
The site area is 7,000 square feet, is level and regularly shaped.
.
.
.
PLANNING COMMISSION
April 8, 1992

Conclusions:
A. Approval of the variance would not be a grant of special privilege, as there have been
six parking variances approved along the 8th Street CSD-C 1 corridor, four of which were
within I to 1.5 blocks of the site.
B. The proposed variance is unlikely to cause adverse impacts to public safety and welfare.
C. The granting of a variance is consistent with the purpose of the parking ordinance.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Philpott and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Leonard moved to direct staff to not use the three Zoning Ordinance criteria
when reviewing parking variances. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Philpott.
Brad Collins spoke against the motion. It would be appropriate to clarify the criteria for which
variances from Parking Ordinance requirements are granted by amending the ordinance. Until
that is accomplished, the Zoning Ordinance criteria represent the best guidance staff has
available to evaluate if the purpose of the parking ordinance is being met.
After a brief discussion as to the possibility of reviewing alternative criteria to be used, the
Planning Commission voted 4-2 in support of the motion, with Commissioners Winters and
Souders voting II no" . Chairman Souders explained she was against the motion because it would
eliminate the only criteria we have to evaluate parking variances. Mr. Collins indicated that he
would take the Planning Commission's directive up with the City Attorney.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, ZCA 92(04)01- LINDBERG/RUDDELL - Revision
to sign regulations in the ACD, Arterial Commercial District.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report.
Chairman Souders opened the public hearing at 8: 10 P.M.
Bill Lindberg, 319 South Peabody, stated they were looking to provide an equitable means
for allocating sign area. They agreed with most of the staff recommendations, but proposed
some.modifications to.those recommendations.~They'inc1uded-increasing.the maximum area of
wall signs to 250 square feet, and modifying the freestanding sign standards in the staff report
for visible sign area as follows: Sites less than a half acre- 100 square feet; .50 to .99 acres -
200 square feet; 1 acre to 1.99 acres - 300 square feet; 2 to 2.99 acres - 400 square feet; 3 acres
or more - 500 square feet. Provided that the maximum sign area on any sign face is 250 square
feet. Visible sign area is the total of all freestanding sign faces visible at one time from any
perspective.
Brad Collins added that the Planning Department is supportive of the applicant's proposed
.
.
.
PLANNING COMMISSION
April 8, 1992
Page 5
changes to the staff recommendation with the understanding that the sign area on any sign face
is no more than half of the maximum sign area (e.g., 250 square feet for 500 square foot
maximum visible sign area for 3 acre or larger sites and 50 square feet for 100 square foot
maximum visible sign area for sites less than one half acre).
There being no further public testimony, Chairman Souders closed the public hearing at 8:40.
Commissioner Leonard expressed concern with the proposal to restrict off-premise advertising
on sites that contain signage for on-premise sites. He finds signs are attractive and help
businesses by providing exposure.
John Jimerson pointed out that Comprehensive Plan Urban Design Policy No. 3 states that
sign age and development should be unified and should enhance the natural beauty of the
community. He added that another reason for limiting off-premise signage is to protect the
visibility of the businesses along the commercial corridor.
Brad Collins added that off-premise signs would not be prohibited in the ACD zone and
emphasized that the intent is to unify the signage with the businesses that the sign age supports.
Otherwise, the consequence of increasing the maximum allowed sign area would be to promote
more off-premise signage which would be less unifying.
After considerable discussion on alternative approaches to regulating off-premise advertising,
Commissioner Anabel moved the Planning Commission forward a favorable
recommendation to the City Council to amend the Arterial Commercial District (A CD) zone
sign regulations as contained in the attached ordinance, citing the following imdings aDd
conclusions:
Findings:
1. The City's zoning ordinance allows 300 square feet total sign area per development site
in the ACD rone, regardless of the size of development.
2. The ACD zone district provides for automobile related uses on sites ranging in size from
7,000 square feet to four acres.
3. The purpose of the ACD is to create and preserve areas for businesses serving the entire
City that need an arterial location because of the nature of the business or intensity of
traffic generated.
. ... -~-""- ...- - _.--. --,...... - -
4. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposal.
Conclusions:
A.
The Zoning Code Amendment is in the public use and interest.
B. The Zoning Code Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Goals and
Policies.

PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, PRO 92(03)01 - HIGHLAND
COMMUNITIES - Melody Lane: Request for a Planned Residential Development which
includes approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow uses permitted in Section 17.91
of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and subdivision approval.
Commissioner Philpott stepped down from the dais and left the room for this agenda item due
to appearance of fairness concerns with his nearby property.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Brad Collins provided an update on the
wetlands permit for which an administrative public hearing is scheduled on May 4, 1992.
Barbara Pickens, 4D Architects, Bellevue, reviewed the site plan and explained the changes
made since the previous meetings. The condominium design was changed as the unit designs
became more refined based on the findings of their market study. She explained the open space
and walking trail network, noting that the vast majority of the respondents of their survey cited
walking paths as their number one recreational activity. She explained that three patio homes
have been relocated further away from the top of the ravine.
Tim Gennan, 123 East Ninth, stated the lack of public opposition at the Planning Commission
is testimony to the efforts they have put forth to address concerns of the neighborhood. He
presented the findings of a view analysis he had conducted. There are few homes that would
be affected, and, for the most part, those homes do not have significant views toward the
project.
Commissioner Catts asked how views of houses to the south would be affected. Mr. German
responded that there are no houses directly south, and that with the radio towers and powerlines,
it is not likely that new homes will be constructed. Mr. Collins noted for the record that he
received a phone call from an individual who lives to the south who has concerns with view
impacts. That person said they would mail a letter to the City and state their concerns.
Nancy McHenry, NTI - 717 South Peabody, is the wetlands consultant for the applicant. She
explained . her,findings~and~showed -a . map depicting ,the clocations 'of "the' wetlands.
Commissioner Leonard asked if she thought the proposed park area at the southwest comer of
the site is compatible with the wetland. Ms. McHenry responded that it is.
The Planning Commission took a break at 10:25 P.M. and reconvened at 10:40 P.M.

Jay Peterson, 717 South Peabody, responded to the Public Works Memorandum dated April
7. If the applicant is required to oversize utilities, particularly water, a reimbursable agreement
should be prepared where new users to the system will reimburse the applicant for their fair
share of the costs of the improvements. Melody Lane improvements should be accomplished
through a local improvement district.
Commissioner Winters asked if Melody Circle would have a gate until it is fully improved. Jay
Peterson responded that it would. The road would be used primarily for access during
construction. Fire Marshal Bruce Becker said the gate would not be a problem, but Melody
Circle must be fInished with an all weather surface.
There being no further public testimony, Chairman Souders closed the public hearing at 11: 10
P.M.
