PUBLIC HEARINGS
SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - SMA 96(06)158 - PORT
OF PORT ANGELES. 439 Marine Drive: Request for a permit to fill an
existing log pond allowing for dry land storage of raw material and an estuary
(Valley Creek) project in the IH, Industrial Heavy zone.
Senior Planner Dave Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report and further
identified the area by use of an overhead projector and aerial views of the site and the
proposed improvements. Chair King opened the public hearing.
Ken Sweeney, Environmental and Planning Manager for the Port of Port Angeles, P.O.
Box 1350, Port Angeles, concurred with Planning staff's report. Even though the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Shoreline Program have changed since approval of the original
permit for this project in 1992, the Port is not surprised at the conditions proposed for
approval by staff. The proposed area lies between Valley and Cherry Street on the Port
Angeles shoreline waterfront. The purpose for the project is to fill an existing log pond to
Planning Commf:ulon Minutes - July 24, 1996
Page 2
.
gain additional land storage for the K-Ply mill. The changes in operation will not only
increase the mill's capacity for log storage but will promote more efficient log storage
procedures at the mill.
The accompanying proposed estuary project is at the mouth of Valley Creek and is a
mitigation measure to compensate for the loss of the log pond. The proposal has developed
into a very popular project as it achieves many objectives set by the City and Port in carrying
out future development in the Downtown, creates a natural barrier to the industrial property
west of the mill, and may become an extension of the Central Business District in the future.
Most of the proposed conditions of approval are acceptable to the Port, but it was requested
that consideration be given to removing Condition No. 1 which requires that an archaeologist
be on site during excavation activities. A 1923 United States War Department survey
indicates that the subject area was under water in 1923, and therefore it is extremely doubtful
that Native American artifacts will be found during proposed construction activities.
The proposed area is 4.3 acres in size. Project approvals from the Corps of Engineer and the
Department of Fisheries and Wildlife remain valid for the project from the earlier approval.
The Port was unable to undertake the development prior to this time due to funding
constraints. However, Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) monies are available
for projects of this type at present.
.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, Chair King closed the public hearing.
Planner Sawyer responded at the direction of the Chair that the City has made a commitment
to the Tribes to require wording in shoreline permit approvals to ensure that Tribal interests
are brought into the review process. Condition No.1 is worded such that if the Tribes are
satisfied that there could be no artifacts in the construction area the condition can be
removed.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner German moved to approve the shoreline
substantial development penn it as proposed with the following conditions, findings and
conclusions:
Conditions of Approval:
1.
If the subject site has not been previously inventoried, evaluated, and reviewed to the
satisfaction of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, the subject site shall be evaluated
by a cultural review team which shall include a professional archaeologist, a
representative of the Lower Elwha S 'Kla1lam Tribe, the site owner, and the City
Planning Department. This team shan determine the extent of excavation monitoring
for the project during the pennit review process. As an alternative, the applicant may
volunteer to have an approved archaeologist on site during any excavation in lieu of
a review by the aforementioned cultural team. If during an excavation that, by
decision of the cultural review team occurs without an approved archaeologist on-site,
phenomena of possible archaeological interest are uncovered, the developer shall stop
such work and provide for a site inspection and evaluation by a professional

MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDM.ENT . MCA 96(08)07 ~ CITY OF
PORT ANGELES. City - wide: A proposal to amend Chapter 17 (Zoning)
ofthe Port Angeles Municipal Code to clarify the definition of a single-family
residence in regard to manufactured homes.
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 96(08)08 - CITY OF
PORT ANGELES. City - wide: A proposal to amend Chapter 17 (Zoning)
ofthe Port Angeles Municipal Code to make residential uses a conditional use
in the CO, Commercial zone
.
Planner Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's report and explained the present manner
in which manufactured homes are permitted in the City. Manufactured homes which meet
HUD (Housing and Urban Development) standards have been City wide in residential single
family zones since 1985, prior to which manufactured homes were only permitted in
Residential Trailer Park (RTP) zones within the City limits. The current amendment proposal
is in response to an applicant who is requesting to place a manufactured home in the
Residential High Density zone which allows residential uses. To create consistency within
the Zoning Code and to update the Code with currently accepted terminology, staffis also
suggesting an updated definition of "manufactured home" in the definition section of the
Code.
Discussion took place regarding the differences between modular and manufactured homes
and the specifications for a manufactured home set up in order to ensure that the home is
placed such that it blends in with existing structures in a neighborhood.
.
In regard to the amendment proposal which would require high density residential uses to
be by conditional use permit in the Commercial Office (CO) zone, staff noted that this issue
was brought about by a recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment change in which the
neighborhood did not object to the commercial designation request until it was understood
that the zone intended by the applicant, the CO, Commercial Office zone, would also allow
for high density residential development as a pennitted use. The proposed amendment would
require that neighboring property owners would be notified when a high density residential
use is proposed in the CO zone. A public hearing would then be held to ascertain any
impacts that could result from the proposed multi family use in a CO zoned neighborhood.
Chair King opened the public hearing.
Plonning Commission Minutes. July 24. 1996
Page 9
.
Richard Moon, 1411 Ninth Street, addressing the first issue, stated that he is the person
who wants to put a manufactured home in the Residential High Density zone and asked that
the amendment be approved as staff has proposed to enable his mother to reside in the zone
in a manufactured home.
Jim Reed, 485 Blue Mountain Road, addressing the first issue, asked that the proposed
amendment requiring that residential high density uses be permitted in the CO, Commercial
Office zone be approved as proposed by staff. He is the applicant referred to earlier who
proposed a rezone to CO for property he owns, but because he could not ensure the
neighborhood that a future owner would not be able to develop at high density standards, he
has not pursued a rezone further. The amendment as proposed would insert a layer of
protection for the neighboring property owners who are zoned residential single family in his
case as are in most cases of properties that buffer CO zones City wide.
There being no further testimony, Chair King closed the public hearing.
The Commissioners generally agreed that the proposals make sense and should not affect the
manner in which development is occurring City wide.
.
Commissioner Nutter expressed concern with the second amendment proposal regarding the
CO zone change. It is very difficult to successfully designate and retain high density
residential zoning areas in the City as although everyone is aware that it is necessary to
designate areas where high density uses can locate, no one wants it in their neighborhood.
The proposal would further restrict high density residential development by requiring areas
where the use is permitted outright at the present time, to be by conditional use permit with
the proposed amendment, which again brings in the popularity issue. She favored retaining
the outright pennissibility of high density residential opportunities wherever possible to ensure
the use is encouraged in appropriate areas.
Following further discussion regarding Commissioner Nutter's point, Commissioner
German moved to approve the Municipal Code amendments as shown in the attached
Exhibit "A", citing the following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
1. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposals. The
following goals and policies have been identified as being most relevant to the
amendments: Land Use Element Goal B, Goal C, Policy C.l, Goal D, Policy D.l, and
Policy E.3 and Housing Element Goal A and Policy A.2.
2. The. 1995 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the
Comprehensive Plan was adopted for the proposed Zoning Code amendments on July
9, 1996.
.
3.
The City has received testimony from neighboring and developing property owners
that a zoning option limiting commercial and multi-family residential uses is desirable.
4. A detached single family dwelling and a manufactured home each on an individual lot
.
.
.
Planning Commission Minutes . July 24, 1996
Pagel 0
are permitted single family residential uses in the RS-7 and RS-9 Zones, while single
family residences are pennitted uses in the RMD and RHD Zones.
5.
The definition of single family residence specifically states one detached dwelling
without reference to detached single family dwelling or manufactured home.
Conclusions:
A. The Zoning Code Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Goals and
Policies, specifically those found in Finding NO.1.
B. The Zoning Code Amendment is consistent with the intent of Chapter 17 of the Port
Angeles Municipal Code.
C. The Zoning Code Amendments are in the public use and interest, since they provide
a zoning option limiting commercial and multi-family residential uses consistent with
neighboring and developing property owners' testimony and the other eliminates
confusion concerning whether manufactured homes on individual lots are considered
single family residences.
D. Limitation of commercial and medium and high density residential uses will
discourage the compromise of zones where transitional uses take place.
E.
There is no reason to differentiate between detached family dwellings and
manufactured homes in the medium and high density residential zones and not in the
single family residential zones.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Craver and passed 6 - O.

REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Nutter would like the Farmer's Market issue revisited. She asked if the
proposal to increase the new library's size at this point poses any problem with the approved
conditional use permit and parking variance recently approved for the use. Mr. Sawyer
answered that flexibility had been worked into the Planning Commission's approval of the
conditional use permit by anticipating that a change may be required. The plans may be
increased by up to a fifteen percent margin. The proposed changes are at thirteen percent.

Commissioner German suggested that staff revise the Shoreline Master Program to allow
shoreline management pennits to be done administratively since the regulations are such that
a project either meets or does not meet the requirements. There doesn't seem to be much
need for review by the Planning Commission on the issues and the public is rarely in
attendance at meetings. Commissioner Craver agreed.
Staff responded that processing time periods would be lengthened if such a change is made
because the City's Planning Director also acts as the City's SEPA Responsible Official. If
the proposal required a hearing officer decision, the Planning Director could not act on both
applications concurrently. Applications could be slowed by up to an additional month. At
present, the SEP A procedure is worked into the beginning of the process and runs with other
required notification periods for shoreline applications.
