MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION Port Angeles, Washington June 10, 1992 CALL TO ORDER Chairwoman Souders called the special meeting to order at 6:00 P.M. ROLL CALL - Members Present: Ray Gruver, Bob Philpott, Bill Anabel, Larry Leonard, Roger Catts and Cindy Souders (Note: Ray Gruver was not present for the Special Public Hearing at 6:00 P.M. He arrived at 7:00 for the regular meeting.) Members Absent: Bob Winters Staff Present: Brad Collins, Dave Sawyer, John Jimerson, Bruce Becker . SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING . Chairwoman Souders explained the purpose and procedures for the public hearing and opened the hearing. Charles May, 506 Blue Water View, expressed shock that so few people were here to comment or care about this important document.. He was at the City's workshop last night on the draft policies and felt his questions about the policies were answered. Mike McAleer, 445 N. Fifth Avenue, Sequim, was concerned about the timing of the adoption and complained that the County was taking too long on other growth management matters such as Resource Lands and Critical Areas designations without analyzing economic impacts. He asked that this review be given enough time to allow for the fiscal impact analysis to be completed. Esther Veltkamp, 212 W. 8th St, would like the Vision 2020 ideas added to the County-Wide Planning Policy. She discussed problems she had with the draft housing policy #4 arid gave examples of areas where mixed density and exclusive high density illustrated her concerns. She also asked that the City take more time to review the County-Wide Planning Policy. Commissioner Leonard asked the audience to respond to the options proposed for UGA Policy #18. Mr. May asked what a rural center was, and staff gave an explanation. Ms. Veltkamp reminded the Planning Commission of the urban growth area boundary hearings at which time . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 2 County residents requested to be left out of the UGA even though it was clear that they could be downzoned and, therefore, had no problem with the City's position on rural densities. Commissioner Leonard read a letter from Marguerite Glover, Sequim Board of Realtors, to the Sequim City Council dated 6/1/92. The letter stated that without retaining one acre rura110t sizes only wealthy people would be able to afford developing in the future and urged the Sequim City Council to accept the County's proposed UGA Policy 18 option. Ms. Veltkamp said that she would go along with the County's proposed Policy 18, after understanding the letter's concerns. Commissioner Leonard moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the City delay the decision on ratifying the Draft Countywide Planning Policy until all the infonnation and fiscal impact analysis being done by the County has been received. Commissioner Philpott seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously. The Commission took a break. at 6:55 P.M. and reconvened at 7:05 P.M. REGULAR MEETING Chairwoman Souders called the regular meeting to order at 7:05 P.M. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Philpott moved to approve the minutes of the May 27, 1992, meeting as submitted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Leonard and were approved 5-0, with Commissioner Anabel abstaining. PUBLIC HEARINGS SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PERMIT - SMA 92(06)126 - lIT RAYONIER, INC., 700 North Ennis Street: Request for a Shoreline Management Permit to allow the remediation of contaminated soils at the lIT Rayonier Mill site. John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairwoman Souders opened the public hearing. Brian Jones, 700 N. Ennis Street, has no comments or problems with the Planning Department's recommendation that excavation be monitored by a professional archaeologist. He offered to answer any questions. Commissioner Gruver asked if existing equipment is leaking. Mr. Jones does not believe it is, but containment features have been incorporated in case they do. Commissioner Leonard asked several questions regarding the requirement for an archaeologist. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 3 In response, Mr. Jones stated he didn't know what the cost would be, he intends to contact Daishowa America to obtain a reference for an archaeologist. He has been working at the mill for four years and has limited experience with excavation on site. No archeological artifacts were found during the two excavation projects, but the hole sizes were limited, and he isn't qualified to determine if there were any artifacts during the excavation. The site has experienced disturbance in the past, including fill, but he cannot say with positive assurance that there are no artifacts in the area to be excavated. Mr. Jones explained there may be PCB's in the soils. They will pile them on site in a manner which will contain any contamination. After testing the soils they will decide whether to remediate the soil or haul it away for storage and containment elsewhere. He explained how the proposed procedure was arrived at, noting that they requested proposals from 12 separate consultants. All of the proposals were very similar. The method has been successfully used elsewhere. There being no further public testimony, Chairwoman Souders closed the public hearirig. Commissioner Gruver moved to forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit subject to two conditions, citing the following findings and conclusions: CONDITIONS: A. The applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor the excavation activities. Upon discovery of evidence of possible archaeological significance, the applicant shall follow the recommendations of the archaeologist for proceeding, consistent with all relevant state and federal historic preservation laws. B. If any soils or construction debris are to be deposited on the site, submit plan showing the location(s) to the Planning Department for approval to ensure compliance with the Shoreline Master Program and Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance. FINDINGS: 1. The approval is for removal of hydraulic oil from soils and rip rap adjacent to Ennis Creek. 2. Physical alterations to the site include installation of temporary sheet piling at the toe of the west bank, and excavation and replacement of soils and rip rap west of the temporary sheet pile. 3. The Mill is on the site previously occupied by a S , Klallam Village and the original Puget Sound Cooperative Colony, and is located on the Washington State Register of Historic Places. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 4 4. The Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program, Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance have been reviewed with respect to this proposal. 5. The applicant has received an Hydraulic Project Approval from the Department of Fisheries which contains conditions intended to minimize impacts on the stream. CONCLUSIONS: A. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program, specifically General Regulations C.1, CA and C.6; Land Use Element D.6; Natural Systems E.7.b, E.lO.a-c; Use Activities F.9.a,b&d, F.12. b,c,e&f, F.15.a-b, F.16. a,c,d&e, F.18.a-e. B. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, specifically Goal No.3, Industrial Policy No.5 and Land Use Objective No.3. C. As conditioned, the proposal will be less detrimental to the shoreline than existing conditions. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Anabel and carried 5-1. Commissioner Leonard voted "no" as he did not believe it is appropriate to require a qualified archaeologist be on site to monitor the excavation work. EXTENSION REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -CUP 90(04)02 - CRESTWOOD CONVALESCENT CENTER - 1116 East Lauridsen Boulevard: Request for extension of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of an existing nursing home facility by 15 units and the addition of 70 assisted living units, in the RS-9, Residential Single Family District. John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Commissioner Gruver asked if the access from Park Avenue is meant to accom,nodate emergency vehicles only. Mr. Collins responded the intent of the access is to serve the assisted living facility. Chairwoman Souders opened the public hearing. Albert Jiu, 113 South Valley Street, TRH Network, offered to address any questions the Commission may have. In response to questions from Commissioner Gruver, Mr. Jiu stated that access onto Park Avenue has always been intended to serve the assisted living facility. The total value of . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 5 the project would range from about 1.7 to 2.2 million dollars. He estimated the cost of improving the 250 feet of Park Avenue frontage to City standards at about $3,250. Commissioner Leonard moved to grant a one year extension for the Conditional Use Permit subject to three conditions, citing the foUowing findings and conclusions: Conditions: A. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the proposal, the applicant shall prepare a landscaping plan designed to ensure that the development is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding uses. The plan shall be approved by the Planning Department and implemented by the applicant prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the structure. B. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the proposal, the applicant shall submit to the Department of Public Works for approval a site plan showing improvements to Lauridsen Boulevard in order to meet current roadway standards, and include curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the Lauridsen Boulevard frontage. The site plan shall be implemented by the applicant and all work approved by the Department of Public Works prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the facilities. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall enter into a non-protest agreement for the creation of an L.I.D. to install full street improvements along Park A venue. C. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall resolve the conflict in the building plan with the City's three-phase primary overhead line south of the existing convalescent center. Findings: 1. The Port Angeles Zoning Code requires that prior to acting on a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must hold a duly advertised public hearing. 2. Public notice, as required by the Port Angeles Zoning Code, has been given. 3. The property subject to the permit application is described as Blocks 2, 3" and 11 of Campbell's Addition to Port Angeles, together with portions of vacated streets and alleys, and is located within an RS-9 Zoning District. 4. The Port Angeles Zoning Code allows "nursing and convalescent homes" as a conditional use in the RS-9 Zoning District. 5. The Zoning Code states that the purpose of the Conditional Use Permit shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained. 6. The Department of Public Works has indicated during review of the proposal that PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 6 . the expansion of the existing convalescent center could introduce detrimental and hazardous conditions relating to pedestrian and vehicular traffic if Park Avenue and Lauridsen Boulevard are not improved by the applicant. 7. The Light Department has indicated, during review of the proposal, that no structure can be constructed beneath the existing three-phase power line owned by the City of Port Angeles. Conclusions: A. The proposed activity can be permitted through the granting of a Conditional Use Permit. ' B. The proposal, as conditioned, is consistent with the tests for issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, as found in Section 17.96.050 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. C. Procedural requirements relating to public notice and public hearing have been accomplished. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Philpott. . Commissioner Leonard explained that the applicant should not he required to improve Lauridsen Boulevard and Park A venue - because these improvements are installed in a disjointed manner, they don't serve to improve an area at all. The motion to require improvements on Lauridsen Boulevard was made in the spirit of compromise. Commissioner Gruver stated that cost of improvements has been a barrier in the City's ability to obtain them. With a $2 million project, $3,250 worth of improvements is not cost prohibitive. In the 4 to 5 years he's been observing the Planning Commission, he has yet to see any improvements come to fruition through the L.I.D. process. Therefore, he believes the City should require the improvements on Park A venue as well. Those improvements could be phased to correspond with the construction of the assisted living facility. Chairwoman Souders asked if there are any other no-protest agreements in the area. Mr. Collins was not aware of any. However, the City and School District are working towards improving portions of Lauridsen Boulevard between Franklin School and Race Street, which would address some of Commissioner Leonard's concern with "leapfrogging" improvements. Sidewalks in the area have been identified by the Council as one of their goals, and the City and School District are now trying to identify possible funding. . On call for question, the motion was approved by a vote of 4-2. Commissioner Gruver explained he supported the project, but voted no because he believes that Park Avenue should be fully improved. Chairwoman Souders voted no for the same reason. PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 7 . REZONE REQUEST - REZ 92(06)03 and ZONING CODE AMENDMENT - ZCA 92(06)02 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES, In the vicinity of Race and Jones Streets and Front and Columbia Streets: Consideration of a rezone of property from RS-7, Residential Single Family to OC, Office Commercial and/or PBP, Public Buildings and Parks District; amendment to the Office Commercial District of the Port Angeles Municipal Code; amendment to the PBP District to allow single family residential as a pennitted use and amendment to Section 14.40 (parking) of the PAMC to include standards for off-site parking. John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. To clarify some misinformation in the newspaper, Mr. Collins noted that the Office Commercial district is not a non-residential zone, nor is PBP as recommended. Chairwoman Souders opened the public hearing. Steve Dryke, 310 N. Jones, explained that he owns property on Georgiana and Jones Street. He would like the City to expand the eastern boundary of the OC zone to Jones Street so that he could build a four-plex on his property. Jones Street would provide a straight boundary. . James Dryke, 1125 Georgiana, stated the proposal would be benefit the neighborhood. Vacant lots and run-down houses would be replaced with offices. Mike Fitzpatrick, 829 Caroline, stated Caroline is a nice residential street. His house is 70 years old and should last another 70 years. They should not be squeezed between commercial offices and Olympic Memorial Hospital. The hospital's lack of planning creates problems, resulting in unacceptable horiwntal expansion. The hospital should expand vertically. Commissioner Leonard asked if he has expressed his concerns with the hospital. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated he had with hospital staff, but not the Board. The hospital has threatened him stating they could take his property through eminent domain. Commissioner Catts asked what he perceives his neighborhood to be. Mr. Fitzpatrick explained the development patterns in the vicinity and that areas west of Race Street should remain residential. Randy Lemon, 1102 Caroline, stated parking on the street has been a problem. He supports Steve Dryke's proposal, noting there are already four-plexes in the area. . Chairwoman Souders asked how he feels about a parking lot next door. Mr. Lemon had no problem with that. Commissioner Gruver asked if he preferred offices or apartments next door. Mr. Lemon stated he would prefer offices. He is concerned with the impact any rezone would have on taxes. Commissioner Leonard stated that the County Assessor's policy is to assess residential property in commercial zones at its residential PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 8 . value. Ann Madsen, 811 Caroline, referenced two letters she has written to the City regarding rezones in the vicinity. She stated that parking is a problem on Caroline Street, cars have no where to turn around. Contrary to what hospital representatives may have stated, there are at least two houses in the vicinity which were there before 1950, the year the hospital site was designated by President Truman. Commissioner Leonard has told her that the Planning Commission felt her property was unique and the rewne would not affect its value. The hospital is not planning well, as a result~ residences are being squeezed out. Additional parking lots wont be used, because they are further from the hospital than street parking. Employees don't want to walk that far. Commissioner Leonard clarified that his conversation with Mrs. Madsen occurred last September, and what he had told her is that in his opinion as a real estate professional, the property value would not be affected the rezone. He did not represent that as being the Planning Commission's understanding. Donna Davison, 939 Caroline, representing Olympic Memorial Hospital, concurr<<l with the Planning Department's recommendation. The proposed rezone would preserve the integrity of the residential neighborhoods and provide for the health care needs of the community. . The Planning Commission took a break at 8:35 P.M. and reconvened at 8:45 P.M. Donna Davison, added that the parking lot will be open in two weeks and will relieve the parking crunch in the vicinity. They are planning a 30 car parking lot across from the hospital which will provide additional relief. The hospital meets the requirements for parking requirements. They currently have about 260-275 spaces at the hospital and an additional 5S spaces off-site. The hospital does not require employees to park in designated areas. Their permit system is intended to reserve the closest parking areas for patients. The hospital could review and develop a policy for employee parking to help minimize impact on the streets. Robert Parr, 1128 Georgiana, has no problem with Steve Dryke's four-plex. He would be concerned with new office development however. He has already been approached by a real estate agent that wants to purchase the entire block for no apparent reason. Harold Johnson, 221 North Chambers, submitted a letter to the Planning Commission written by a real estate firm offering to purchase property for commercial development. He thought the firm was getting ahead of itself, as the property was not yet zoned commercial. . Steve Dryke, reiterated his interest is to build a four-plex that is compatible with the neighborhood . Mrs. Douglas, 223 N. Chambers, stated she would like to see more multi-family in the vicinity. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 9 There being no further public testimony, Chairwoman Souders closed the public hearing. Chairwoman Souders asked if the hospital meets parking requirements, why are we concerned with future parking. Mr. Collins responded that a variance for about 30 spaces had been approved, in part justified on the grounds that the hospital had parking spaces available, but they were off-site. Commissioner CallS asked Donna Davison what became of the hospital' s proposal to provide parking at the base of the bluff. Ms. Davison responded there were a number of issues, including shoreline permits, cost of a tram system and cost of improving Francis Street. Commissioner Gruver added that waterfront lots are expensive. Other considerations in granting the variance included the fact that the remodel would eliminate semi-private rooms in favor of private rooms. Parking requirements for the outpatient use of the hospital may not have been analyzed, as hospital parking is based on the number of beds. Commissioner Catts stated that vertical expansion of the hospital has merit. Parking structures are not cost prohibitive. Expansion should not go west. It would be okay to expand east. He would like to see the City give protection to residences in the vicinity, perhaps in the form of an ordinance which reserves on street parking to residences. Commissioner Leonard asked Mr. Fitzgerald if before construction parking was a small problem that grew into a large problem, but may return to being a small problem one the new lot is open. Mr. Fitzgerald responded that the problem was a small one' before construction, but it is a large one now and has shown no signs of going away. Commissioner Leonard noted the hospital will soon have more parking available. Chairwoman Souders stated that she did not believe parking lots can be made to be compatible with residential uses. Commissioner Gruver did not believe rewning the Hegge and Mantooth properties makes sense, especially if it is the City's intent to square-up the western boundary. Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval to the City Council as recommended by the Planning Department. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Leonard moved to recommend the City Council approve a rezone of the property east of the hospital from RS-7 to PBP as outlined in the staff report; to amend the OC District to allow parking lots as a conditional use; to amend the PBP District to allow single family residential as a permitted use; and to amend the parking ordinance to exclude public streets and alleys from the 100 foot maximum for off-site parking. This recommendation is made citing the following findings and conclusions: . . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 10 Findings: 1. After reviewing three separate requests for rewne in the hospital vicinity within several months of each other, the City Council initiated a review of the long term zoning needs. 2. The Planning Commission reviewed the hospital vicinity wning on March 25, 1992 and by a unanimous vote, recommended the City Council consider expanding the OC zone to square off the west side, allowing standalone parking in the OC wne with a C.D.P., expanding the PBP zone as property becomes available and an overall review of the parking code. 3. The City Council reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation on April 7, 1992, and initiated the public hearings for rezone, zoning ordinance amendment, and parking ordinance amendment. 4. The proposal is to rezone property from RS-7 to PBP; to amend the Office Commercial Zone District to allow parking lots as a conditionally permitted use; and to amend the parking ordinance to exempt public streets and alleys from the 100 foot limitation on off-site parking. 5. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposal. The Plan designates the rezone area as urban residential and medical commercial. 6. Since 1980, an average of 1,336 s.f. of new medical office floor area, exclusive of the hospital itself, have been absorbed in the vicinity. Projecting this rate into the future, it would take over 30 years to convert the remaining OC property to office uses. 7. There are four single family homes on Blocks 3 and 4 of the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony Addition, one of which is vacant and owned by the h~spital. Blocks 3 and 4 are adjacent to the hospital. The houses would not become non- conforming as the PBP District is also amended to allow homes as a permitted use. 8. Single family homes are a permitted use in the OC district. 9. The City has recently adopted an Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance which sets forth a process for protection of those areas which in the past have relied on PBP zoning for protection. 10. The Parking Ordinance allows off-site parking within 100 feet of a site to be used to meet parking requirements. It does not exempt the distance occupied by public streets and alleys, which typically have widths of 60 feet and 20 feet respectively. 11. The hospital is completing a 12,500 square foot addition to the building, and has testified at public hearings and meetings of the increasing diversity of Services it . . PLANNING COMMISSION June 10, 1992 Page 11 they provide. As a result, the number of hospital employees has increased by 62 since 1988. 12. The OC zone district contains development standards for parking lots which are intended to maximize compatibility with residential uses. 13. Front Street is zoned ACD, which allows medical offices as a permitted use. 14. The SEP A Responsible Official has issued a Determination of Non-Significance. Conclusions: A. The proposal is consistent with the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, especially Goals Nos. 3-5; Residential Policy No.2; Commercial Policies Nos. 1,2, 3, 16; Circulation Policy No. 18; Social folicies Nos. 2 and 4; Community Facility Objective No.2; Social Objectives Nos. 2 and 3; and Land Use Objectives 1-3. B. Circumstances have changed since the property was originally wned RS- 7. The hospital activities have increased as evidenced by the recent expansion and growth in the number of employees; a new Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance has been adopted by the City; and since 1980, over 16,000 square feet of new office space has been constructed in the OC wne district. C. The proposal is in the public use and interest as it would serve the increasing demand for health care facilities. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Gruver and passed by a vote of 5-1. Commissioner Philpott voted no because he thought it is appropriate to include the rezone of property west of Race Street as well. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Steve Dryke asked for clarification as to the action the Planning Commission took. Mr. Dryke was shown on a map the lots east of the hospital that are recommended to be rezoned to PBP. Mr. Collins added that the public notice for the City Council will include all of the properties discussed at the Planning Commission. STAFF REPORTS: Mr. Collins stated that he, acting as the SEPA Responsible Official on the Sun Outdoor Advertising Sign made his decision based on the facts of the case. He was not making policy through SEPA. Also, the City Attorney will be at the June 24th meeting of the Planning Commission to discuss public meeting decorum. After some discussion, the Commission concluded that an earlier start is not needed for this portion of the meeting. 11 . . .
