Chair Hewins indicated that those who testify must sign the "Sign In" log and affirm that their testimony will be truthful to the best of their knowledge. PUBLIC HEARINGS: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP - CPA 04-01 - CRONIN: Amendment to the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation between 4th Street and 7th Street along Race Street to Commercial (C). Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's report recommending denial of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 2 ~ George Cronin, 191 Old School House Road, Gardiner, WA stated that although the application identifies a full block area east/west each side of Race Street, his specific interest is to allow a light commercial area along Race Street connecting to existing commercial development in the area. Encroachment into the surrounding residential area east/west of the corridor is not really intended but he felt that the area lends to a light commercial use that would favorably serve the community. In response to Commissioner Norton's question as to what types of uses would be considered "light commercial", Mr. Cronin responded that he would seek professional office type uses. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Community Development Director Brad Collins responded to Planning Commissioners' questions regarding the ability of an applicant to reapply in the event a proposal is denied, by saying that applications may only be considered once a year within certain submittal timelines. When asked if staff's concern with the proposal's conflict with current transportation policies would be aleviated if the area shown in the application were reduced, Director Collins responded that an adjustment of the proposed boundary would still be in conflict without a change to the existing transportation policies. Commissioner Nutter opposed the extent of the proposed commercial change to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and stated that, as the applicant's proposal could not be changed, she would not support the amendment. Commissioner Hewins asked for clarification purposes, how a rezone is considered foilowing a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change. Director Collins stated that property owners would request such a change and that it is unlikely that the City would simply rezone a property without being asked to do so by the property owner. Following continued discussion, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend that the Cily Council deny the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: 1. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed by a property owner, Douglas P. and Lynda Day Cronin, for a change in the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to Commercial in the area south of 4th Street and north of 7th Street between Francis and Washington Streets. The proposal encompasses a six block area. 2. The amendment was submitted in a timely manner prior to March 31, 2004. 3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment would decrease the medium density residential land available in the City by approximately 6 acres. 4. The Comprehensive Plan discourages creating strip commercial development outside of the US 101 corridor and encourages cluster development. 5. The Comprehensive Plan only allows commercial development in residential areas as neighborhood shopping areas and as long as it does not encourage traffic from outside the area or increase traffic congestion within residential neighborhoods. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 3 6. The Comprehensive Plan identifies improvements to the Lauridsen Bridge to facilitate both a crosstown truck route and alternate local crosstown route, indicating that the Race Street corridor is considered as a portion of those future projects. 7. Several previous analyses of the amount of the City's land uses have shown that there is a relative shortage of high and medium density residential to low density residential and commercial zoned areas. 8. A recent land use analysis in Port Angeles indicated there is 279 acres of high and medium density residential zoned land, 2;423 acres of low density residential zoned land and 333 acres of commercially zoned land. 9. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposed amendment, and the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C.2, C.3, C.4, Goal E and Policies E.2, E.5, E.6, and E.8 and Transportation Element Goal B, Policy B.2, B.3, B.6, B.7, and Objective B.1 were found to be the most relevant. 10. .A Determination of NonSignificance was issued per WAC 197-11-355 on May 5, 2004. 11. No public comments to the proposal have been received. Conclusions: A. The proposal to change the Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use designation . along the Race Street from 4th to 7th Streets and Francis to Washington Streets to Commercial (C) is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policies C.2-C.4, E~2, 5, 6, and 8, and Transportation Element B.3. B. The proposal was found to be inconsistent with policies which discourage creating a strip commercial character outside of the us 101 corridor and discourage uses that may reduce the viability of the Race Street/Lauridsen Boulevard corridor as an alternate crosstown route. C. Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. D. In this case, medium density housing is a transitional use between the intense commercial area along First and Front Streets and the less intense commercial area at 8th and Race Street, and does not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing in the area. E. The proposal is in an area of existing park facilities and low to medium density residential structures. F. Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA 04-01 by reducing medium density housing opportunities, increasing potential traffic impacts, and not supporting the City's chosen urban design patterns is not in the publict..interest. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 20~4 Page 4 The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6-1 with Commissioner Hewins voting against the motion. Commissioner Hewins stated that while he believes the area is destined to become more commercial, he could not support the redesignation of such a large area. Commissioner Schramm agreed that it is likely the area will eventually be commercial but stated that he too would not be in favor of the proposed extent of the redesignation from Francis Street to Washington Street. Commissioner Philpott concurred and indicated that he would have been in favor of the proposal had the area been only along Race Street. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP - CPA 04-02 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES: City wide amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's staff report identi~ing all of the proposed amendments and identified specific proposed amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map based on the public review process. Director Collins stated that Rayonier would not oppose that area above the bluff along Water Street being redesignated for residential development but would oppose any redes.ignation, of the main mill area being anything but industrial at this time. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Robbie Mantooth, 2238 E. Lindberg Road, stated her thanks for the opportunity to participate in review of the City's Comprehensive Plan update process as a newly annexed resident and noted that the effort that was made gathering information during the public participation process earlier in the year. She felt strongly that the Rayonier mill site should be cleaned up to a higher standard than industrial to allow for more variety of eventual uses. She encouraged more public parks now rather than in the future, a proactive approach to stream corridor restoration, a wider transportation corridor rather than an alternate crosstown route, and hoped that the annexation process could be structured such that others would desire to annex to the City who live in developing areas to avoid excessive septic tank usage. Finally, she noted that the most beautiful beach in the county is located within the shoreline of the Rayonier property and she encouraged the City to work with Rayonier to open the area to the public. Andy Brastad, 1622 Milwaukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA spoke in favor of a change in a residential area off Milwaukee Drive that is proposed to be redesignated from Residential Medium Density to Low Density Residential. He characterized the area as rural and hoped that it would remain so with relatively little future development. He appreciates the Iow impact development standards allowed for infrastructure development in the area. Ed Tuttle, 3909 Old Time Place, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition against annexation and noted that a like petition was being submitted to the County Commissioners asking the county to eliminate the City's eastern Urban Growth Area. He stated that he is not against future development of the area east of the Port Angeles city limits but does not want annexation. Instead, it is preferred that services be extended without annexation. The City should take care of what is already within the City limits before looking at annexation. Chair Hewins asked Mr. Tuttle what proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan he is addressing, to which Mr. Tuttle answered that he was addressing the eastern expansion of the UGA. Chair Hewins pointed out that the issue was di~:ussed during last year's Plan changes and is not Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 5 '~, currentl~l under consideration by the City. Jack Anderson, RayOnier Mill, 700 North Ennis Street, spoke on behalf of the'Rayonier Mill management and asked that the Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the mill site remain unchanged at this time. He explained that the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) clean up regulations outline only two methods of clean up: industrial and commercial. To identify the site as commercial would significantly slow redevelopment of the site. The Rayonier management prefers to allow a prospective purchaser and the property owner to agree to a clean up plan based on future use of the site and is not in favor of a redesignation at this time. Ava Traughber, ] 636 Milwaukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA agreed with a previous speaker regarding the redesignation of an area north of Milwaukee Drive being proposed for redesignation from RMD to LDR. The area is not prepared for higher density development and.should remain rural and sparsely developed. Bill Henry, 2206 East Sixth Street, Port Angeles, WA was concerned that neither the County nor the City has proven to residents in the eastern UGA that there is a need to expand the City's boundary to the east. An excess of vacant residential land exists within the City for development at this time without annexation. Residents in the eastern UGA would like to petition 'for a LAMRID (Limited Area of More Intensive Rural Development) and would like the City's support. Port Angeles should utilize vacant land before looking to annex additional area. The eastern UGA boundaries might better have been set at the existing City limits. At this point, Chair Hewins asked the speaker what item he was speaking to on the hearing agenda. Mr. Henry indicmed that.he was speaking to the entire scope of the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Hewins noted that expansion of the eastern UGA is not currently under consideration having been decided during the review process in 2003. The expansion of the western UGA boundaries is an item under review. Mr. Henry presented written information to be entered into the hearing record to the Chair. Kathe Smith, 607 East Fourth Street, Port Angeles, WA strongly supported amendments to the Transportation Element as proposed. Harley Oien, 215 Rye Road, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition opposing expansion of the western UGA boundary and urged the Commission to leave the area in the County for rural preservation. Jeff Bohman, 3753 Canyon Circle, Port Angeles, WA represented the Peninsula Trails Coalition and spoke in favor of the proposed amendment to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. He encouraged that the Economic Development Element, in particular proposed Goal C, or the policies that derive from that goal, include the benefits of the Olympic Discovery Trail and other trails and parks as an element of the economic plan. He noted that some references in the 1990 Sheldon Wetland Report have become outdated. It has recently become apparent that the old report is not a comprehensive reflection of existing wetlands within the City boundaries. It may be appropriate to include wording in the Plan to recognize that site specific analysis should always occur whether or not the Sheldon report indicates that wetlands are present on a site. Jean Fairchild, 3524 Mt Pleasant Road, Port Angeles, WA represented herself and others in the audience on behalf of the Jet Set Soroptimist Club in support of changes to the Transportation Element. Hugh Haffner, 402 Goa Way Road, Port Angeles, WA suggested that some type of bonding be required of the Rayonier Mill owners to assure adequate clean up of the mill site. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 200~4 Page 6 T~ere being no further comment, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing and announced a break at 7:40 p.m. The meeting resumed at 7:50 p.m. The City Council Members adjourned from the meeting and left. Due to the number of other issues on the agenda, Commissioner Schramm moved to continue discussion of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendments to last on the agenda. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed unanimously. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - GREEN CROW - Rook Drive: Proposal for a 43-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds reviewed Department's report. Director Collins suggested a revision to Condition #9 providing a time period for the construction of a recreation area and responded to Commissioner Nutter that a specific amount of open space is not required for subdivisions. Open space and buffer areas, trails, etc., can be components of a recreation plan. He added that cul-de-sacs work well in suburban areas as long as they are designed to meet the City's curvilinear expectations, can create a satisfactory neighborhood alternative to the standard grid system.' Jim Mahlum, Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, stated that when Rook Drive was developed to City standards, the developers were required to install intersection warning signs along Mt. Angeles Road to warn of an approaching intersection activity. The County is requesting that the applicant widen Mt. Angeles Road north to the City portion of the road an additional 3' each side of the existing surface. He responded to Commissioner Hewins that he did .not believe sight distance is a problem at the intersection given its width. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, WA asked to dedicate 50' of right-of-way for the continuation of Rook Drive rather than the 60' required by the Public Works and Utilities Department. His client would be amenable to a condition that requires the recreation/play area to be constructed when a given number of lots has been developed, and responded to a question from Commissioner Nutter that completion of the wetland boundary delineation will definitively identify the required buffer areas. If such delineation indicates that a lot or two are unbuildable, the plat will be redesigned. Director Collins noted that the extension of Rook Drive is proposed through the wetland buffer, and, if this is indeed the case, the buffer will require enhancement in order to account for use of the area. Mr. Zenovic responded to Commissioner Hewins that, following conversations with the City's Parks and Recreation Director, it is expected that ifa significant park area is dedicated to the public within the subdivision, it will be taken over for maintenance purposes by the City: Dennis Yakovich, 2736 Blue Mountain Road, Port Angeles, WA noted that the Rook Drive intersection with Mt. Angeles Road is nearly 90' wide due to turn radii required by the City which allows for a clear vision at the main intersection. He agreed with the previous speaker by saying that he is not interested in developing or retaining maintenance of the park through a homeowner's association but would prefer to develop a meaningful park/recreation area that would then be dedicated to the City for final development and maintenance. If the current development is successful, Green Crow will begin development of adjacent property to the north of the subdivision will provide access to either Campbell Avenue, Wabash Avenue, or Porter Street for both developments through the extension of Rook Drive. A 5-10 year build out is expected for the current Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 7 proposal. Mr. Yakovich further responded to Commissioner Nutter regarding ponds that were created during logging of the site to retain runoff. There being no further comments, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Commissioner Schramm felt that a secondary ingress/egress is a very important component of the subdivision as the current proposal relies heavily on unimpeded access to Mt. Angeles Road. Commissioner Nutter had unanswered questions regarding development of the park/recreation area and was concerned with traffic at Rook/Mt. Angeles Roads. Director Collins suggested that the item ,be continued to allow further discussion with the COunty Road Department and the applicant regarding County requirements for improvements to Mount Angeles Road. Commission Norton agreed and moved to continue discussion to the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Schramm and passed 4 - 3 with Commissioners Philpott, Norton, and Rasmussen voting against the motion to continue. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - NEW VIEW - Eckard Avenue: Proposal for a 15 - unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. 'Assistant Planner Sue Roberds presented the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, I/VA agreed with the staff's analysis and noted that this is a simple redivision ora previously platted subdivision into larger lots. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Following discussion regarding walking path widths and road development both within the subdivision and on Mt. Angeles Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision with the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: I Conditions: 1. Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City Public Works and Utilities Department. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a .maximum 1000' of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, all public improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines including an 8 inch water service along the northern portion of Eckard Avenue right-of-way and the westem portion of the Porter Street right-of-way. Storm drainage/detention n~nholes are to be within City right-of-way or within Planning Co, mmission Minutes May 12, 20~4 Page 8 '1 a~0' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required, An 8" sanitary sewer main shall be constructed within dedicated City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' of centerline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to a depth indicated on the post. 5. Street design and development shall be per City suburban street standards with 60' rights-of- way for Eckard Avenue and Porter Street and 20' for an alley along the south side of the subdivision. Driveway culverts will be restricted to 30' in length. An 8' walking path is required along Porter Street because the street is a designated school walking route. Streets shall be dedicated to the City through the subdivision process. "No parking" signs shall be placed along Eckard Avenue and Porter Street if the streets are developed to the City's low impact development standards. : Findings: 1. The preliminary subdivision application was submitted on March 6, 2004, by Zenovic and Associates for Jeff Priest. The property is owned by Norman Rockford and Janice A, ndrew who are selling the site to Mr. Priest and who provided written authorization for the preliminary subdivision application to be submitted. The final plat will be entitled New View Subdivision 2. The proposal is to subdivide a 4.59 acre parcel of land into 15 residential lots in the RS-9, · Residential Single Family zone. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,027 square feet to 9,626 square feet in area. 3. The proposed site is located east of Mt. Angeles Road between Campbell Avenue and undeveloped Eckard Avenue and is legally described as being Lots 1 - 11 in Block 8, and Lots 17-32 Block 5, Illinois Addition. The area is located approximately ½ mile from the City's southern limits. 4. The site is currently accessed from Campbell Avenue via unimproved Porter Street, however, the applicant is proposing to establish Eckard Avenue extending from Porter Street west connecting to Mt. Angeles Road, which is a city road in this location, during construction for the subdivision lots. Eckard Avenue was originally platted to access Mt. Angeles Road but has never been opened. Both Porter Street and Eckard Avenue must be improved and rededicated through the subdivision process. 5. Properties west, south, and north of the site are zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family. Property northeast along Campbell Avenue is zoned RHD, Residential High Density with property directly east and southeast zoned RS-9. White's Creek is located in a meandering north to northeast line approximately 1/4 mile east of the adjacent property. 6. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre and is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban si~Je family residential neighborhoods consisting of Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 9 '~ pqedominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. 7. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for development of subdivisions within the City. Conditions may be added to a preliminary subdivision approval that will ensure compliance with the development standards of Chapter .16.08 PAMC. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission Shall examine the proposed plat at a public hearing along with written recommendations of reviewing departments and agencies with jurisdiction, and shall forward a recommendation to the City Council that will act on the proposal within a period of 90 days following submittal'of the preliminary application to the City Department of Community Development. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires 9 city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, thepublic health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 9. The proposed preliminary plat was reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments, and the Clallam County Road Department. Comments have been included in review of the proposed subdivision and resulting conditions should address any concerns or issues that were raised by reviewers. The site will be served by City water, power, sewer, solid waste, and emergency services - Police and Fire. Porter Street will be improved to the City's low impact development standards which will include an 8' pedestrian walking path due to its identification as a school walking route. Eckard Avenue will also be imProved to the City's' low impact development standards including a 4' pedestrian walking path and will connect to Mt. Angeles Road which will provide a more direct egress route from the area rather than funneling all traffic to Campbell Avenue. 10. Public notice of the subdivision application was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on March 19, 2004, posted on-site March 22, 2004, and published in the Peninsula Daily News on March 24, 2004. No written comments were received as a result of the public notifi~[ation. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 20~4 Page 10 11. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map .The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B. 14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policies C.2 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.9 and A.10, and Goal B. 12. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area. Franklin Elementary School and ' Peninsula Community College are located in the area. The School District has indicated that at the present time, school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in de. clining enrollments. 13. The site. is.currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works and Utilities Departments. 14. Building permits will be required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes will apply to any new construction on the subject property. 15. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 6, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. CONCLUSIONS: A. The conditions of the subdivision are required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance and are neccssary to implement the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subdivision or are available in the area. Storm drainage, electrical, and telecommunications improvements are the only street and utility requirements which have not been installed per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines but will be provided by the developer. C. A play area has not been required because the subdivision falls below the 30-lot threshold policy for the requirement of new recreation areas set by the City. D. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Growth Management Element Goal A; l[~d Use Element Goal.B, and Policies B. 1, and B.2; Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 11 '1  ransportation Element Policies B. 14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D.1 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goals A and B, and Policy A.9, and With the Zoning Code, Section 17.11 PAMC. E. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. F. As conditioned and proposed, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys,- other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks .and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. G. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as artidulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the · Grow'th Management Act and is therefore beneficial to the City's tax base. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6 - 1 with Commissioner Nutter voting in the negative. Commissioner Nutter noted for the record that her negative vote was because Mt. Angeles Road is not developed to minimum standards in the area. The Commission took a break at 9:30 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:40 p.m. PRELIMINARY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - OLYMPIC VIEW ESTATES - Lindberg Road/Golf CoUrse Road: Proposal for an 38 - unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Commissioners Norton and Hewins noted that they are both members of the Peninsula Golf Club that submitted a letter regarding the proposal but felt that they could individually act without prejudice in the matter before the Commission. Community Development Director Brad Collins reviewed the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Director Collins responded to questions regarding road improvements within the development, Lindberg Road, and Golf Course Road. No improvements to either Lindberg or Golf Course are required with the development, however, the second phase of development that involves Golf Course Road south of the Golf Course Rd/Lindberg Rd intersection will need to be improved at the time of that future phase of development. Gary Schoessler, 536 Marine Drive, Port Angeles, WA stated that he had read the staff report and had no issues with the proposed conditions of approval. Mr. Schoessler responded to Commissioner Nutter by identifying the area on an overhead where a. play area would be developed much like the play area in the Milwaukee Heights subdivision located in the west portion of the City. Participating in discussion with Commissioners regarding improvements to Golf Course Road, Mr. Schoessler responded that given the amount of improvements required to develop the proposed site, adding improvement to Golf Course Road at this stage of development would severely affect feasibility of the project. 15 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 200~4 Page 12 B~ob Leach, Northwestern Territories, Inc., 717 South Peabody, .Port Angeles, WA has worked with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) on issues relating to use of the area underneath the powerlines and within the BPA easement, and believes that agreement has or can be reached on the use of the area for additional parking and stormwater detention. He explained the drainage plans and storm detention proposal and noted that the roadway will be developed with an. inverted crown design to avoid using too many culverts. In response to Commissioner Rasmussen, Mr. Leach identified common areas that would be available within the subdivision and stated that management of the open space areas would be the responsibility of a homeowner's association. Mr, Schoessler presented photographs of proposed structural development within the subdivision. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nutter expressed concern regarding the width of Golf Course Road as the roadway narrows significantly from that point south. ' Jim Mahlum, Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, noted that. infrastructure improvements required of the applicant for the development will significantly improve what currently exists in the area and noted that Golf Course Road south of the area does not abut the subjec~ property and would not be a route that would be used by those leaving or entering the' subdivision. Following further discussion over the width and speed at which traffic travels 'on Golf'Course Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the planned residential development citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: coNDITIONS: 1. The final plat shall show the building front lot lines drawn where the lots equal or exceed 50 feet in width; Lots !7 and 16 may need reconfiguration. All external building line setbacks shall met RHD Zone requirements. All lot lines (solid lines) and building setback lines (dashed lines) shall be accurately dimensioned on the final plat. 2.

Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City. 10. The final PRD shall provide for continuous and perpetual maintenance of common open space, common recreation facilities, private roads, utilities and utility easements, common parking areas, and other similar development within the boundaries of the PRD in form and manner acceptable to the City. 11. .The final PRD and plat approval shall provide conditions, covenants, and restrictions that . will preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site, in coordination with the proposed one-story, split-level, and two-story model home designs to create a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development. 12. Fire hydrants shall, be placed per the project narrative included in the application. The three hydrants shall be located at: the intersection of Golf Course and Lindberg, at the northeast comer on Lindberg Road and the last midway between the entrances on the internal road. 13. Twenty (20) feet of; clear width shall be required for fire department access. 14. The fire sprinkler system as required by the Fire Department shall be a condition of any new residential building permit. Wording shall be placed on the final plat and recorded with the County Auditor upon filing of the final subdivision indicating that all residences shall be fitted with residential sprinkler systems prior to occupancy. 15. ULID 215 Assessments and sewer connection charges shall apply to this project (date of formation of ULID 215 connection charge was in November 1999). 16. Proposed 8" water line shall be provided per as shown, with Fire Hydrant installation at NE Comer of Lindberg Rd. and in the middle of the internal roadway per City Urban Standards. 17. Proposed 8" sanitary sewer shall be provided as shown per City Urban Standards, and line size and detention calculations for proposed storm drain shall be required. 18. Utility easements are appropriately identified on the preliminary plat map as well as an access easement to properties located to the south of the subject site, and the easements shall be legally described for the final approval of the PRD and Subdivision. 19.

Street trees shall be provided on the frontages of Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per City approval. 21. The legal description of the subject property in the first phase of the PRD shall be provided. Findings: 1. An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were su'dmitted on March 30, 2004. The Olympic View Estates application was determinedto be complete on March 31, 2004. The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5:, 2004; which is the plat of record for City action. 2. The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between 3,900 to 4,500' square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was done to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. 3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. 4. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC 'Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions. 5. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, 16 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 15 '~,, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 6. The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as follows: This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, bfdlding types, and naturalfeatures, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare... 7. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and sha!l either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be f6rwarded to the City. Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. 9. The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (approximately 9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. 10. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by Northwest Territories, Inc., provided in Attachments A and B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final pl~[t~vill be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 20q4 Page 16 R~esidential Development and Subdivision Phase I. 12. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. 13. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling Units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. 14. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High - Density Residential (HDR). The approximately 9.3 acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public Buildings and Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are develop.ed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. 15. The proposed planned residential development' and subdivision preliminary plat were reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community ' Development Departments. 16. The proposed Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is outside of the Fire Department four minute respons~ area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the foUr minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: 1. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and 2. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal Standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. 17. Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published on'April 13, 2004, and posted on the site and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on April 8, 2004. The Department of Community Development received two public comment letters, which are provided in Attachment D. The letters were from the Bonneville Power Administration and Peninsula Golf Club, Inc. 18. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) iml~S of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under th~ jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 17 Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety. 19. The subject property is identified as High Density Residential (HDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element.Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B. 1-B.4, Goal I, Policies I. 1-I.4, Objective I. 1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D. 1; Housing Element Goal A; Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A. 1 -A.3, Goal B, Policies B.1-B.6, B.8, B.16, ObjectiYes B.3-B.4; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.2, A.9-A. 11, Goal B, Policies B.6-B.7, Goal C, Policies C.3- C.4. 20. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency fOr streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.95.' 21. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). 22. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. 23. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban design of the City. ~ 24. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and only single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. 25. The subject property in the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RHD Residential High Density, which allows a density of up to 43 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated May 5, 2004, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 3,500 square feet in size and that the size of most of the 38 lots is between 3,900 and 4,500 square feet. 26. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mOuntains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 27. All required utility.improvements incl~c~tng potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to'tl'ie subject site or are available in the area. Planning Commission Minutes May 12 2004 Page 18 \,11 28. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 29. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards.The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. 30. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building .lots. All local Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property. 31. Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater than one acre in size. 32. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1065) on May 7, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and Iow impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. E. Because the City does not'have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area similar to the new play structure at Crown Park. F. The small lots proposed for the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are desired for several reasons: 1) the geographical an~l~PA easement constraints on the site, 2) recovering · City costs for ULID 215, 3) the mixe~-~pes of housing already located in the zone and Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 19 ,,, ~(icinity, 4) the provision of affordable homes for new families and other first time home Buyers, and 5) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. G. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RI-ID Zone exists nearby. While it does not meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD OverlaY Zone. H. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi- family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. I. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. . J. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and~for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that aSsure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City in support of ULID 215. M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf Course. The drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit. N. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that t~jelresidential uses will be compatible. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 20~4 Page 20 O. T~e site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17; are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the EMF environmental impacts have not been analyzed in this review. The site design minimizes the interactio.n of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes. BPA rePresentatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. P. The Olympic View Estates proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements ofPAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the BonneVille Power Administration (BPA) transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. Q. . The PAMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. ConditiOns are recomme'nde~l where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. R. The private street system, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of-way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private' streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de-sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead-end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6-1 with Commissioner Nutter abstaining. Commissioner Nutter stated that her reason for abstention was that she believed Golf Course Road should be widened from the required width due to the transition from 40' to 24' north of the site. It being after 10 p.m., Commissioner Nutter moved to continue the meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed unanimously. Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2OO4 Page 21 PUBLIC MEETING: REZONE PROPOSAL - REZ 04-01 - OLYMPIC MEDICAL CENTER - Northwest comer o£the intersection of Race and Caroline Streets: Rezone from RS- 7, Residential Single Family to CO, Commercial Office. Commissioner Nutter noted that a relative works at the Olympic Medical Center but she thought she could act fairly on the application. No one in the audience objected and so she remained at the dais. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds reviewed the Department's report. Following brief review of issues relating to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map and the need for rezone or conditional use to allow certain uses in the CO zone, Commissioner Norton moved to recommend approval of the rezone as proposed, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: 1. The Olympic Medical Center requested rezone of an approximately 7,000 square foot property located at the northwest comer.of the Race Strect/Georgiana Street intersection identified as being Lot 18, Block 32, Norman R. Smith Subdivision to Por~ Angeles from RS-7 Residential Single Family to CO Commercial Office on March 1, 2004. 2. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Commercial. A narrow band of Low Density Residential property is located directly west of the subject site that is developed with a narrow band of existing marine bluff residential uses consisting of mainly older homes. Comprehensive Plain policies that have been identified as being most relevant to the proposal include Land Use Plan Goal A and Policy A.2; Commercial Goals and Policies Goal D, and Policy D.2; and Capital Facilities Element Goals A and D. 3. Properties to the east are developed as the Olympic Medical Center and a variety of medical office uses. Properties south of the site and north of the Caroline/Georgiana alley are developed with a mix of commercial office uses clustered around the Race Street corridor extending mainly east but also west in this area to Francis Street. All properties along and particularly east of Race Street are zoned Commercial Office north of Georgiana Street' in the area with properties west and southwest of the site being zoned RS-7, Residential Single Family. 4.The subject site is flat and is vacant with two smaller, older single-family residences north of the site along the Marine bluff, west of the north end of Race Street in this location.. 5.

FUTURE AGENDAS: PUBLIC CEREMONIES, 2. William Shore Pool Renovation Recommendation Presentation PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS: Director Connelly stated that no action would be requested from the Council this William Shore Pool evening. The purpose was simply to hear the Pool Project Steering Committee's Renovation recommendation. The Committee has been looking at this project since 1998 and has Recommendation guided the work of an architect hired by the City in 1999 to do a feasibility study and analysis of the existing pool facility and develop options for a possible renovation. A conceptual plan for the existing pool was completed in 2002 and, this year, the Steering Committee has now developed a recommendation for moving the project forward. Director Connelly introduced Peter Ripley, the newest member of the Commfftee, to present the Committee's recommendation. Councilmembcr Rogers asked if, before the presentation, Director Connelly could provide a list of the Committee members. They included Glenn Wiggins, Larry Doyle, Linda Berland, Leonard Bell, Lauren Erickson, 97 - 1 - CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 18, 2004 PUBLIC CEREMONIES, Rich Headrick, Leslie Perrizo, and Gary Braun. Councilmember Erickson added the PRESENTATIONS AND names of Barb Oliver and Patty Reifenstahl to the list. PROCLAMATIONS: Mr. Peter Ripley, 114 E. 6th St., Apt. 102, stated that the Steering Committee urged the William Shore Pool Council to submit a bond measure before the voters on the November 2, 2004, ballot Renovation to fund improvements for renovating the William ShoreMemorial Pool at its present Recommendation (Cont'd) site based upon the current conceptual plan as prepared by ARC Architects. On a personal note, Mr. Ripley stated he was a frequent user of the pool, and he felt it was a good idea to renovate the pool. He also felt it should be left in its central location. Councilmember Erickson provided further information, stating that Lincoln Park was another site considered for the pool. The vote was close, but it was passed to keep the pool at its present site for placement on the ballot in November. Councilmember Braun asked what the vote was, and Director Connellyrecalled it was a 6-4 vote in favor of the present site. Further discussion followed with Councilmember Erickson and Director Connelly responding to questions and providing clarification. Councilmember Braun stated that he had hoped that a sports arena, which would include a pool, could be built at Lincoln Park. He felt that this would have been very beneficial to the City and would have attracted various sporting events. Councilmember Rogers felt there was a lot of missing data before a decision could be made, such as whether the current pool would be condemned within a few years. She stated that a lot of background information was missing and mustbe supplied before a decision could be made. Mayor Headrick stated that, for him, the deciding factor was the cost, as it would cost $4.3 million to renovate the current pool and $15 million for the Lincoln Park Sports Arena. Director Connelly stated a presentation could be held at the Council's convenience. He felt a work session would give the Council more opportunity to ask questions and obtain the necessary information in order to make this decision. Councilmember Erickson stated that this was just a first 'step and an attempt to get the ball rolling. Certainly more information would be provided in order to be able to make a decision. The current pool will probably last for several more years, and this was why the pool committee was formed six years ago. She reminded the Council that a vote had been taken to pay $30,000 to come up with the current design and then a feasibility study was performed. She pointed out that, even if a bond is passed this year, it could take several years to actually close the current pool and begin construction of a new pool. Councilmember Rogers asked if there was a feasibility study that would be provided to the Council, and Director Connelly responded affmuatively, stating it had been done in 1999. The study set the stage for the Steering Committee to begin the design process and preliminary construction estimates, etc. Manager Quinn suggested that a work session be scheduled. If the decision is made to proceed to a vote on a bond issue in 2004, time is of the essence. The information must be disseminated and a decision made prior to the end of June in order to place this item on the ballot. Councilmember F. rickson suggested times for a special meeting,and brief discussion followed. Manager Quinn corrected his prior statement, informing the Council that it did not have to make a decision by the end of June, but actually the formal date for placement on the November ballot would be in September. However, this does trim down the campaign time. Councilmember Rogers stated that she takes the bond issues very seriously; she asked that staff be fully prepared to explain how this project will be passed in a bond, knowing of all the other projects facing the Council that will require bond issues. Following further discussi6n regarding the restrictions placed on the Council in campaigning for bond issues, Councilmember Erickson moved to hold a special meeting for a work session on the swimming pool bond, on Wednesday, June 9, 2004, at 5:00 p.m. Councilmember Munro seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 28 - 2- CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 18, 2004 WORK SESSION: None.

ChiefRiepe then expounded on the memo contained in the packet Grant Award and urged the Council to authorize the acceptance of this grant. ChiefRiepe stated that, even if 1-864 passes, this grant will benefit the City, as several police officers willbe retiring within the next few years. The grant would allow the City to hire an additional officer who could be trained and in place prior to the commencement of the impending retirements. Joe Girard, a member of the Law Enforcement Advisory Board, thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak to the issue. He realized there was a great demand on the City's resources; however, this is a winning opportunity for the community and the Police Department to take advantage of funding to train a new officer. He stated that the Law Enforcement Advisory Board urged the Council to accept the grant. ChiefRiepe again reminded the Council that there would be several retirements in the near future, and this was an excellent opportunity to hire and train a new officer at no real cost to the City. Councilmember Braun agreed that this was a wonderful opportunity, and he stressed what a vital role the police play in the City's public safety. Counciimember Braun, therefore, moved to authorize the acceptance of the $75,000 COPS Universal Hiring Program Grant and the hiring of one additional (new position) police officer. Councilmember Erickson seconded the motion. Councilmember Rogers noted that a letter should be sent to Congressman Dicks thanking him for his support on this grant application.

Councilmember Williams moved to approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Joint Purchasing Agreement with the City of Fircrest. Counciimember Braun seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Councilmember Williams asked if Stormwater Utility funds would help purchase this equipment, and Director Cutler responded that, while it would be an appropriate way to spend the utility money, when the Council passed the Stormwater Utility it was with the understanding that it would be project based. It was not intended that Stormwater Utility funds would be used for procurement of this vehicle. Councilmember Williams asked where the money would come from for this purchase, and Director Cutler stated the money had been captured from the General Fund over the years and placed in the Equipment Services Fund. Councilmember Williams asked about the purpose of the street sweeper, and Director Cutler explained that the street sweeper allows the City to keep solids out of State waters, which contributes to potential pollution. 29 - 3 - CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 18, 2004 Interlocal"&greement to Mayor Headrick stated that the Stormwater Ordinance could be revisited if Council Purchase ~treet Sweeper wished to change the way the money could be spent. Councilmember Williams (Cont'd) I reminded the Council that the Stormwater Utility was implemented because the money spent for stormwater activities was coming from other funds cauking non* related rates to be increased. I-Net Services Agreement 4. I-Net Services Agreement Amendment Amendment Director Cutler reviewed the information~egarding this item. Councilmember Rogers added that the City is beginning to understand the advantage of fiber optics, as the pricing is four to one compared to an urban setting. The idea is to formulate a strategic plan that can also be leveraged by other organizations so that, as someone comes into Port Angeles, they understand they are entering fiber city because of the impact. This will be marketed by other entities to get out the word that Port Angeles is a broadband community, which will serve as both an internal and external recruitment tool. Councilmember Rogers felt the City had a huge success story to tell, with the best yet to come. Discussion followed, especiallyrelated to the City's return on the investment, and Councilmember Rogers reminded everyone that one of the reasons the City was able to recruit a technology company was because of the fiber optic serviqe available.

Councilmember Williams asked how the trees would be protected from theft. Director Cutler stated there was a gate in place, and Councilmember Munro stated it was rare ~o have a large number of trees stolen at one time; however, there is no guarantee. Councilmember Erickson moved to declare selected trees along the Morse Creek access road as surplus property to the City and, when sold, the money be placed in the General Fund. Councilmember Rogers seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Electrical Transmission 6. Electrical Transmission Agreement Exhibit Revision Agreement Exhibit Revision Director Cutler stated this was simply some housekeeping to the original contract; he then briefly reviewed the changes to be made.

Clallam Hazard Mitigation Plan OTHER:[ Fire Chief McKeen stated that he was presenting the Clallam County All Hazard Clallam Hazard Mitigation Mitigation Plan, which the Council is being asked to adopt by Resolution. Three of the Plan Councilmembers have reviewed the presentation, as they are on the Health and Safety Resolution No. 09-04 Committee, but he felt it was important as it is a fairly new Plan which has not previously been discussed. Also, being there will be a public hearing following the presentation, he felt it important that this information be disseminated to those present who wished to speak to the issue. Using PowerPoint slides, ChiefMcKeen explained Hazard Mitigation Grant Funding and the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. He informed the Council that, when a structure is repeatedly damaged due to such things as flooding, ,and repeatedly applies for and receives relief funding, it would behoove a community to apply for mitigation grant funding to purchase the property to ensure the property is not built on again, thereby saving federal as well as local dollars. Chief McKeen went on to state that the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 reinforces the act of mitigation. In order to obtain disaster mitigation funding, a Plan must be in place. This also serves as'a guide and basis for local mitigation grant projects.. He stated that, in 2002, Clallam County submitted a gram for the Plan and hired a consultant to formulate the plan. Chief McKeen then introduced Jane Pmess of Geo Engineers, who was the primary in putting together the County-wide Hazard Mitigation Plan. Ms. Pruess explained that, when there is a disaster and darn~ge to public facilities, such as a culvert blowing out, there is a federal regulation mandating the city rebuild to predisaster standards unless there is a Plan in place or standards to which the repair must conform. Therefore, when a Plan is in place and if certain projects are mentioned ifa disaster occurs, the City may apply for more funds and repair to a higher standard. Ms. Pruess then completed the PowerPoint presentation, informing the Council of the steps taken to arrive at the final Mitigation Plan describing the key hazards for the County, such as severe storms and landslide and erosion, the mitigation plan, the mitigation goals and measures., proposed projects, and the Plan maintenance which includes periodic reviews and updating. Ms. Pruess responded to questions and provided additional information and clarification as she went along. Mayor Headrick opened the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. Councilmember Williams asked, if the City adopted a higher standard to take care of the bluff stabilization problem, would it be eligible for FEMA funds, providing a Mitigation Plan was in place. Chief McKeen explained what would have to take place in order for the bluff stabilization to be eligible for these funds. He reminded the Council that the funds must be applied for and are not guaranteed to be received. Attorney Bloor informed the Council that he had administered a similar grant in Eastern Washington several years ago under the law prior to the 2000 federal legislation. One of the criteria looked at was whether the cost of the proposed repairs was less than the potential savings in damage mitigation. In a downtown situation, this would probably be satisfied. Manager Quinn noted that the current Plan under discussion doesn't get this specific. ChiefMcKeen stated that it does have a section specific to Port Angeles, which can be tightened up. He restated that this Plan does provide periodic reviews based on new input and needs. After tonight's adoption, this part can be strengthened to meet the City's needs prior to submission to the State. Ms. Pruess stated that if there are any other changes staff or Council would like to incorporate, they should be submitted to Chief McKeen. $1 - 5 - CITY COUNCIL MEETING' May 18, 2004 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Mayor Headrick then recognized Paul Lamoureux, 602 Whidby Ave., who spoke in OTHER: support of the Mitigation Plan, feeling it was a viable recommendation and an opportunity to plan for an alternate route in and out of Port Angeles. Mr. Lamoureux Clallam Hazard Mitigation went on to state that, referring back to the Pool Renovation, he felt the agenda was Plan misleading regarding this issue and that anyone reading it or the packet would not know Resolution No. 09-04 that a work session would be held to discuss a sports arena versus a swimming pool. (Cont'd) As there was no one else present who wished to address the issue, the public hearing ' was closed at 7:51 p.m. Councilmember Braun agreed with Mr. Lamoureux regarding the need for an alternative escape route from Port Angeles in the event of a disaster. Mayor Headrick read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 09-04 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, adopting the Clallam County Hazard Mitigation Plan to serve as a guide in reducing the City's risk from natural hazards. Councilmember Braun moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councilmember Williams seconded the motion. Discussion and clarification followed, and Councilmember Rogers asked about the School District being involved in the adoption of a Plan. Ms. Pmess agreed with Councilmember Rogers and explained what type of Plan is needed for the School District. She felt the City could work with the Schools to develop some priorities. A vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. CITY COUNCIL None. COMMITTEE REPORTS: ORDINANCES NOT None. REQUIRING PUBLIC HEARINGS: RESOLUTIONS: 1.

S. A. CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June 1, 2004 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director SU~ECT: Green Crow Subdivision Preliminary Plat Approval Summary_: With 43 lots, this is the largest subdivision that has been proposed this year. There are two Green Crow properties at this location south of Campell Avenue, and the Green Crow Subdivision is the southern 28 acres, which accesses off Mt. Angeles Road via Rook Drive. A Planned Residential Development (PRD) may be proposed for the northern property. The devgioper is working with the City to provide the necessary infrastructure improvements to the area in the , vicinity of the site. An alternate to improvements o£Mt. Angeles Road has been recommended by the City but contrary to the Clallam County comments about roadway improvements needed to meet: , County standards for Mt. Angeles Road, which is a County road. The Subdivision is subject to the requirements of Wetland Permit 04-01, which could require modification to the lot .configuration. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Green Crow Subdivision Preliminary Plat on a 4-0 vote at the May 19, 2004, Planning Commission meeting. Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting the City staff, the County staff, and the developer met to review the County's comments on improvements requested for Mt. Angeles Road. Changes to the conditions, fmdings, and conclusions reflecting the outcome of that meeting were added to those of the Planning Commission. IRecommendation~: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary plat of the Green Crow Subdivision subject to 10 conditions. citing 18 findings and 8 conclusions. Background / Analysis: As with many large subdivisions, there are a number of issues with the lot and street configuration, needed infrastructure improvements, environmentally sensitive area impacts, and neighbor concerns. The City staff has met numerous times with the developer and project reviewers to identify required improvements and necessary mitigating measures. The normal requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance (PAMC Chapter 16.08) and the Critical Area Ordinances (PAMC Chapters 15.20 and 15.24) will address the issues. The City Council must make several determinations for the Green Crow Subdivision to be given preliminary plat approval. First, the City Engineer has recommended that the City accept Mt. Angeles Road as meeting the fully improved street requirements for subdivision approval based on the City's low impact development standards for County roads in the Urban Growth Area rather than on the County' s road standards. At the time of this memorandum, the City was awaiting final comments from the County Roads Engineer regarding the City Engineer' s recommendation. It is also noted in the attached staff . 71 report that, while Mt. Angeles Road has 26 feet of paved roadway, the ditching and walkway provisions for Mt. Angeles Road do not meet City low impact development standards or urban street standards. As an alternate, the applicant is proposing to provide an all weather surface walkway connecting Mt. Angeles Road to Campbell Avenue via Rook Drive and an improved and dedicated public trail through the two Green Crow properties. Rook Drive will also be extended through the northern property to connect to Wabash Street and Campbell Avenue. The City Council must decide to accept the City Engineer's recommendation before granting preliminary plat approval. Second, the lot and street configuration of the Green Crow Subdivision impact the identified wetland and buffer situated along the property line separating the two Green Crow properties on the norther edge of the subject subdivision site. Wetland Permit 04-01 will require a wetland plan to protect the wetland area from loss. As a result of this subsequent wetland permit the lot and street configuration could be altered between preliminary and final plat approval. Third, the timing of required improvements for sewer, street, and recreation facilities may be subject to a developer agreement between Green Crow and the City. Again, subdivision improvements could be altered between the preliminary and final plat approval subject to the City Council's approval of the developer agreement. The developer will be required to make the necessary improvements per the Urban Service Standards and Guidelines without the agreement being approved by the City Council. The issues to be addressed in the developer agreement include delays in final street improvements after final plat approval, a public neighborhood park plan jointly implemented by Green Crow and the City Parks & Recreation Department, the timing of City improvements for existing sewer and/or stormwater drainage problems in the Porter Street area, and the size of streets and rights-of-way in the Subdivision and future PRD. Again, the City Council must decide to accept the City Administration' s recommendation to enter into a developer agreement that could delay concurrency for some of the required improvements normally necessary for final plat approval. Until the developer agreement is before the City Council, the developer Green Crow will be required to meet all the Subdivision Ordinance standards prior to final plat approval. A new County comment letter received May 26, 2004, is attached for the Council's reference. Staff from both the City and the County are suggesting follow up on solutions to the problems of County roads as they transition to City streets, particularly within the Urban Growth Area. Those solutions may include reduced speed limits, City standards, City maintenance, and incorporation of County roads into the City all of which are intended to safely transition traffic from 50 mph County roads to 25 mph City streets. This is not a simple short plat or small subdivision application, and the City and the developer have worked for many months to reach the preliminary plat approval decision point. Staff will be available to answer questions. Since the public hearing was before the Planning Commission on preliminary plat approval, the City Council's decision follows a closed record process. Attachments: Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions Excerpts of May 12 and 19, 2004, Planning Commission Minutes Staff Report May 12, 2004 Green Crow Subdivision Application Public Comment Letters 72 CONDITIONS, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE GREEN CROW PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION: Conditior~s: 1.

A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. Section 16.08 PAMC states that a final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development Department within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said preliminary approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within the five year period. 3. The Revised Code df Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision and determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys and other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 4. The site is zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family and is located at the south edge of the City limits east of White's Creek. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,000 square feet to 31,190 square feet in area. The purpose of the City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. Conditions, findings, and Conclusions Preliminary Green Crow Subdivision June 1, 2004 Page 3 B~cause of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are all, owed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land 5. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Lar~d Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services ' Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5. 6. The subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the devel6pment ~fLots 1- 8 and 25-33; Phase II will consist of Lots 34 - 43 (northwest cul-de-sac); and Phase III will consist of Lots 14-24 (middle cul-de -sac). No timing is scheduled for Lots 9-13 at the present but development of those lots is dependent on issues relative to the required wetland buffer in that area. 7. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer, and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be extended through conditions to the preliminary plat. 8. The site is currently served from Mt. Angeles Road which is a county road that meets City low impact development standards in payment width but does not provide ditches and a separated walkway to City standards. Rook Drive could be extended to loop to Wabash Street and Campbell Avenue at some point depending on the need for a secondary or emergency access route. Rook Drive would be developed to suburban residential standards that would include a 20-foot improved asphalt surface with ditches and a 4-foot all weather surface walkway per the City's low impact development standards. Rights-of-way dedication and improvement for ditches and a walkway are required for the continued development of Rook Drive. 9. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003 with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards would not allow for on-street parking. Site development and design for residential lots developed under the lower impact standards need to accom~o,l;late resident parking and visitor parking on-site. Conditions, findings, and Conclusions Preliminary Green Crow Subdivision dune 1, 2004 Page 4 Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property owners. Improvements for school walking routes in the vicinity of the subdivision will be required with other street improvements. 10. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section 16.08 PAMC) which provides specific design standards expected of subdivisions within the City The site is served by City water, sewer, telecommunication, solid waste, and emergency services - police and fire, Open space consisting of a public neighborhood park and trail system for recreation purposes is proposed. Streets will be developed to the City's low impact development standards including ditches and a walkway separated from the traveled street for pedestrian safety. Design standards state that street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. Drainage plans must be prepared and approved by the Public Works Department prior to development and shall include requirements of the wetland permit (WP 04-01) for the proposed development of the eastern extension of Rook Drive and utilities through the buffer area. Intrusion into the buffer for street and utility development will include an adequate proposal for enhancement or buffer averaging of the wetland. 11. 'Two environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site: a portion of White's Creek buffer is found along the southeastern edge of the site bordering White's Creek, and an area along the north to northeast portion of the site that crosses onto the adjacent property is noted as containing a Type III wetland and its buffer that comprises nearly 10 acres of the site. Rook Drive encroaches into the buffer in the northeast portion of the proposed subdivision and into the rear yards of proposed Lots 9, 13, and 14 - 18. A wetland permit must be obtained in order to develop Rook Drive north to Lots 9 - 13 and for work within the buffer area for the installation of utilities Rook Drive. Without wetland permit approval, the preliminary layout as proposed may not be allowed, and that area of the subdivision and utility corridor will need to be redesignbd. Sewer to serve the area extends along the BPA powerline easement south to Rook Dirve. The site is not listed on the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps which denote those areas that are within 100-year flood areas. 12. The owner of a construction site which disturbs a total of five acres or more of land area that has a discharge of stormwater to a surface water or storm sewer system must apply to the State Department of Ecology for a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction Activities. 13. Building permits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction. 14. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to plan for needed public school facilities and routes. School busses travel along Mt. Angeles Road to Franklin School. Peninsula College is located approximately ½ mile north and east of the site. 15. The City's Parks Department responded that they are aware of the preliminary proposal and do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a result of the development. The City's LOS for par~s, and recreational services is 1/3 acre for 1,000 /O Conditions, findings, and Conclusions Preliminary Green Crow Subdivision dune I, 2004 Page 5 population. The applicant is proposing to add a minimum 2 acre public neighborhood park for the subdivision and a planned residential development on the north property adjacent to the site owned by the.proponents. Walking trails around the environmentally sensitive areas may be counted as open space. 16. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on May 6, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's responsibility under the Act. 17.' The Planning Commission's decision is' a recommendation to the City Council. The Commission acts as the City's hearing body for preliminary_ subdivision approval. Reports are advisory only to ensure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the general purposes of the City's Comprehensive Plan and to planning standards and specifications adopted by the City. 18. Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the proposal on March 10, 2004. The property was posted on March 12, 2004, and publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on March 14, 2004. Written comments regarding 'traffic concerns on Mt. Angeles Road were received by three neighbors as a result of the public notification. Conclusions: A. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, specifically Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.. B. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Zoning Code (Title 17 PAMC), and Section 15.24 (Wetlands) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Conditions imposed by Wetland Permit WP 04-01 are necessary to mitigate the direct impacts of the project on the adjacent wetland and buffer and are roughly proportionate to those impacts per Section 15.24 PAMC. C. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act. D. Appropriate provisions have been made in the proposed subdivision application for the public health, safety and general welfare, open spaces, playground/recreation, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, schools, and school walking routes. E. Based on the City Engineer's determination, Mt. Angeles Road satisfies the City's low impact development standards for a fully improved street with an alternate provision for the required walkway. In lieu of the required walkway along Mt. Angeles Road, a 4-foot all weather surface walkway linking Mt. Angeles Road and Campbell Avenue along internal street fights-of-way and through a publ~,l~ark will be improved and dedicated to the City. ! ! Conditions, findings, and Conclusions Preliminary Green Crow Subdivision dune 1, 2004,~ Page 6 , This internal public walkway will provide public access for pedestrians traveling north and so~th from the intersection of Rook Drive and Mt. Angeles Road as well as more safety for a school walking route to Franklin Elementary School and Peninsula College. F. As conditioned, signage informing residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street parking will ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations where on- street, parking could prevent access for emergency vehicles and create sight distance safety issues. G. Clearing and grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from the site as a result of development through the subdivision process. A wetland permit will determine the disturbance of the existing wetland area and may require enhanced buffering in the event the existing buffer is to be altered. H. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as artictflated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. Furthermore, the subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of June 1, 2004. Richard Headrick, Mayor Becky J. Upton, City Clerk T:\FORMS\F&Cgreencrow.wpd 78 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 6 PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - GREEN CROW - Rook Drive: Proposal for a 43- unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds reviewed Department's report. Director Collins suggested a revision to Condition #9 providing a time period for the construction of a recreat, ion area and responded to Commissioner Nutter that a specific amount of open space is not required for subdivisions. Open space and buffer areas, trails, etc., can be components of a recreation plan. He added that cul-de-sacs work well in suburban areas as long as they are designed to meet the City's curvilinear expectations, can create a satisfactory neighborhood alternative tO the standard grid system. Jim Mahlum, Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, stated that when Rook Drive was deVeloped to City standards, the developers were required to install intersection warning signs along Mt. Angeles Road to warn of an approaching intersection activity. The. County is requesting that the applicant widen Mt. Angeles Road north to the City portion of the road an ' additional 3' each side of the existing surface. He responded to Commissioner Hewins that he did not believe sight distance is a problem at the intersection given its width. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, WA asked to dedicate 50' of right-of-way for the continuation of Rook Drive rather than the 60' required by the Public Works and Utilities Department. His client would be amenable to a condition that requires the recreation/play area to be constructed when a given number of lots has been developed, and responded to a question from Commissioner Nutter that completion of the wetland boundary delineation will definitively identify the required buffer areas. If such delineation indicates that a lot or two are unbuildable, the plat will be redesigned. Director Collins noted that the extension of Rook Drive is proposed through the wetland buffer, and, if this is indeed the case, the buffer will require enhancement in order to account for use of the area. Mr. Zenovic responded to Commissioner Hewins that, following conversations with the City's Parks and Recreation Director, it is expected that if a significant park area is dedicated to the public within the subdivision, it will be taken over for maintenance purposes by the City. Dennis Yakovich, 2736 Blue Mountain Road, Port Angeles, WA noted that the Rook Drive intersection with Mt. Angeles Road is nearly 90' wide due to turn radii required by the City which allows for a clear vision at the main intersection. He agreed with the previous speaker by saying that he is not interested in developing or retaining maintenance of the park through a homeowner's association but would prefer to develop a meaningful park/recreation area that would then be dedicated to the City for final development and maintenance. If the current development is successful, Green Crow will begin development of adjacent property to the north of the subdivision will provide access to either Campbell Avenue, Wabash Avenue, or Porter Street for both developments through the extension of Rook Drive. A 5-10 year build out is expected for the current proposal. Mr. Yakovich further responded to Commissioner Nutter regarding ponds that were created during logging of the site to retain runoff. There being no further comments, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. 79 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 7 Commissioner Schramm felt that a secondary ingress/egress is a very important component of the subdivision as the current proposal relies heavily on unimpeded access to Mt. Angeles Road. Commissioner Nutter had unanswered questions regarding development of the park/recreation area and was concerned with traffic at Rook/Mt. Angeles Roads. Director Collins suggested that the item be continued to allow further discussion with the County Road Department and the applicant regarding County requirements for improvements to Mount Angeles Road. Commission Norton agreed and moved to continue discussion to the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Schramm and passed 4 - 3 with Commissioners Philpott, Norton, and Rasmussen voting against the motion to continue. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - NEW VIEW - Eckard Avenue: Proposal for a 15 - unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds presented the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public heating. .Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, WA agreed with the staff's analysis and noted that this is a simple redivision of a previously platted subdivision into larger lots. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Following discussion regarding walking path widths and road development both within the subdivision and on Mt. Angeles Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision with the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: Conditions: I 1. Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City Public Works and Utilities Department. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000' of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, all public improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines including an 8 inch water service along the northern portion of Eckard Avenue fight-of-way and the western portion of the Porter Street right-of-way. Storm drainage/detention manholes are to be within City right- of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required. 80 Planning Corqmission Minutes Ma), 19, 2004I Page 1 PUBLIC MEETING: PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - GREEN CROW - Rook Drive: Proposal for a 43-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Decision continued from the May 12, 2004 meeting. Director Collins stated that staffhad met with the applicants and Clallam County Roads staff regarding the issue of Mt. Angeles Road. Based on the fact that Mt. Angeles Road is located in the UGA, City standards should apply. Mt. Angeles Road currently meets paved surface standard, but not the ditch and pedestrian walkway standards. The applicant requested that right- of-way be 50 feet in width, however City Engineer Jim Mahlum indicated that the standard is 60 feet and that the City cannot negotiate that width. It was also indicated by Mr. Mahlum that sight distance at the intersection of Rook Drive and Mt. Angeles Road met the standard requirements for the posted speed limit. Director Collins indicated that the City is comfortable with the proposed Park area being developed in the second phase of the development. Specific details of the park could not be presented at this time as parking requirements would be based on final size and design of the park. The park will be linked by a pedestrian walking path that meets City standards from Campbell Avenue to Rook Drive, which will also act as the required pedestrian link that would not be added to Mt. Angeles Road. In response to a question from Commissioner Rasmussen, direction Collins stated that the preliminary site preparation and grading of the park area would be done by the applicant and that final improvements would be completed by the City Parks Department. Director Collins stated that an agreement had been reached that Rook Drive would be extended to Wabash during the first phase of the project, however the initial construction would be gravel, allowing up to one year for the road bed to settle before paving would occur. The extension of Rook Drive to Wabash would also be dependent upon the conditions applied to the wetland permit that is currently being reviewed. Brief discussion as to rewording of Conditions followed. Commissioner Norton moved to forward a recommendation of approval of the Greencrow subdivision to the City Council with the following Conditions, Findings and Conclusions: Conditions: 1. Sixty (60') foot of right-of-way shall be dedicated extending Rook Drive to Wabash Street. At minimum, an improved surface along Rook Drive to a final width of 20 feet with ditches and 4 feet all weather surface walkway shall be developed per the City's low impact development standards. Due to the limitation of street width, streets and cul-de- sacs within the subdivision must be posted for "no parking" as required per the City's low impact development standards. In lieu of the required walkway along Mt. Angeles Road, a 4-foot all weather surface walkway linking Mt. Angeles Road and Campbell Avenue 81 Planning Commission Minutes May 19, 2004 Page 2 along internal street fights-of-way and through a public park shall be improved and dedicated to the City. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000 feet of separation distance. 3.' Electric utility service to the subdivision 'shall be underground, and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical .service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, an 8 inch water service shall be extended looping the service at Wabash Street disconnecting PUD service to the area. Construction shall be as required by the Public Works and Utilities Department. 5. Storm drainage/detention/manholes are to be within city right-of-way or a 20-foot dedicated utility easement. Detention shall be shown and calculations, treatment, and erosion control plan maintenance covenant shall be provided. 6. An 8 inch sanitary sewer main shall constructed within dedicated City fight-of-way or within a 20-foot dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset feet ofcenterline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6 inch PVC within City right- of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to!a depth indicated on the post. 7. Stormwater improvement plans shall be submitted for approval per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and installed prior to final plat approval. Installation may be phased with the three phases proposed for final approval as proposed in the March 4, 2004, application. 8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat, and address numbers provided by the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots. 9. A public neighborhood park approved by the City's Parks and Recreation Director shall be developed prior to issuance of building permits for structures in Phase III of the subdivision. A series of all weather surface walkways and/or trails shall be developed by the applicants linking Mt. Angeles Road/Rook Drive/Campbell Avenue prior to final plat approval. 10. All conditions of Wetland Permit WP 04-01 shall be met prior to final'plat approval or development through the area identified as a wetland or its buffer. 82 Planning OOmmission Minutes May 19, 20~4 Page 3 Findings: 1. Preliminary approval is for a 43-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and Associates on March 4, 2004, for Green Crow Timber identified as being in Blocks 6, 7, and a portion of 8~ Beacon Hill Addition located east of Mt. Angeles Road south of Campbell Avenue. The property is bounded by Campbell Avenue on the north, Rook Road on the south, Mt. Angeles Road on the west, Wabash Street on the east, and White's Creek to the southeast. The subject property is the south approximately 28 acre site of two adjacent properties owned by Green Crow Timber. 2. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Ange!es Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local requirements for the approval of subdivisions and Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written . recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. Section 16.08 PAMC states that a final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development Department within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said preliminary approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within the five year period. 3. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision and determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys and other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 4. The site is zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family and is located at the south edge of the City limits east of White's Creek. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,000 square feet to 31,190 square feet in area. The purpose of the City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that Planning ComtnisMon 'Minutes May 19. 2004 Page 4 are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60- foot rights-of-way for collector arterial sireets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land 5. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal ' has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5. 6. The subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the development of Lots 1- 8 and 25-33; Phase II will consist of Lots 34 - 43 (northwest cul-de-sac); and Phase III will consist of Lots 14-24 (middle cul-de -sac). No timing is scheduled for Lots 9-13 at the present but development of those lots is dependent on issues relative to the required wetland buffer in that area. 7. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer, and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be extended through conditions to the preliminary plat. 8. The site is currently served from Mt. Angeles Road which is a county road that meets City low impact development standards in payment width but does not provide ditches and a separated walkway to City standards. Rook Drive could be extended to loop to Wabash Street and Campbell Avenue at some point depending on the need for a secondary or emergency access route.

The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003 with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards would not allow for on-street parking. Site development and design for residential lots developed under the lower impact standards need to accommodate resident parking and visitor parking on-site. Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property owners. Improvements for school walking routes in the vicinity of the subdivision will be required with other street improvements. 10. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section 16.08 PAMC) which provides specific design standards expected of subdivisions within the City The site is served by City water, sewer, telecommunication, solid waste, and emergency services - police and fire. Open space consisting of a public neighborhood park and trail system for recreation purposes is proposed. Streets will be developed to the City's low impact development standards including ditches and a walkway separated from the traveled street for pedestrian safety. Design standards state that street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and valu.e of abutting property. Drainage plans must be prepared and approved by the Ptiblic Works Department prior to development and shall include requirements of the wetland permit (WP 04-01) for the proposed development of the eastern extension of Rook Drive and utilities through the buffer area.

Building permits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction. 14. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to plan for needed public school facilities and routes. School busses travel along Mt. Angeles Road to Franklin School. Peninsula College is located approximately ½ mile north and east of the site. 15. The City's Parks Department responded that they are aware of the preliminary proposal and do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a result of the development. The City's LOS for parks and recreational services is 1/3 acre for 1,000 population. The applicant is proposing to add a minimum 2 acre public neighborhood park for the subdivision and a planned residential development on the north property adjacent to the site owned by the proponents. Walking trails around the environmentally ' sensitive areas may be counted as open space. 16. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on May 6, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's responsibility under the Act. 17.

As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, specifically Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B. 1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.. B. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Zoning Code (Title 17 PAMC), and Section 15.24 (Wetlands) of the Port Angeles Municipal 86 Planning Commission Minutes May 19. 2004 Page 7 Code. Conditions imposed by Wetland Permit WP 04-01 are necessary to mitigate the direct impacts of the project on the adjacent wetland and buffer and are roughly proportionate to those impacts per Section 15.24 PAMC. C. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act. D.' Appropriate provisions have been made in the proposed subdivision application for the public health, safety and general welfare, open spaces, playground/recreation, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, schools, and school walking routes. E. Based on the City Engineer's detem~ination, Mt. Angeles Road satisfies the City's low impact development standards for a fully improved street with an alternate provision for the required walkway. In lieu of the required walkway along Mt. Angeles Road, a 4-foot all weather surface walkway linking Mt. Angeles Road and Campbell Avenue along internal street rights-of-way and through a public park will be improved and dedicated to . the City. This internal public walkway will provide public access for pedestrians traveling north and south from the intersection of Rook Drive and Mt. Angeles Road as well as more safety for a school walking route to Franklin Elementary School and Peninsula College. F. As conditioned, signage informing residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street parking Will ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations where on-street parking could prevent access for emergency vehicles and create sight distance safety issues. G. Clearing and grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from the site as a result of development through the subdivision process. A wetland permit will determine the disturbance of the existing wetland area and may require enhanced buffering in the event the existing buffer is to be altered. H. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. Furthermore, the subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sue Roberds, Assistant Planner DATE: May 12, 2004 RE:- Preliminary Subdivision - GREEN CROW APPLICANT: GREEN CROW TIMBER LLC O~NER: GREEN CROW TIMBER LLC LOCATION: Rook Drive east of Mt. Angeles Road and south of Campbell Avenue PROPOSAL: Development of a 28 acre site located in the RS-9 Residential Single Family zone into 43 residential building sites RECOMMENDATION: The Department recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the preliminary 43-unit subdivision to be completed in three phases with 9 conditions, 18 findings, and 7 conclusions identified in Attachment "A" to this report. PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: Green Crow Timber owns two adjacent properties in this area that together are bounded by Campbell Avenue on the north, Rook Road on the south, Mt. Angeles Road on the west, Wabash Street on the east, and White's Creek to the southeast. The subject property is the south approximately 28 acre site of the ownership and is described as being in Blocks 6, 7, and a portion of 8, Beacon Hill Addition located east of Mt. Angeles Road south of Campbell Avenue. The site is located at the south edge of the City limits east of White's Creek and is accessed via Mt. Angeles Road which is a County road. A small pocket area west of Mt. Angeles Road and a small property between Mt. Angeles Road and the subject property are located in the County and are served by PUD water and power. Property northwest of the subject site between Porter and Mt.Angeles Road has not as yet been developed but is currently under review as a residential subdivision in compliance with the RS-9 zone. Property adjacent to and north of the subject site that is accessed from Campbell Avenue is also owned by Green Crow Timber and is zoned Residential High Density along Campbell 89 Page 2 Avenue with the south portion of the ownership (that portion closest to the subject site) zoned RS-9. Other properties along Campbell Avenue are zoned Residential High Density and are developed as a mix of single family and multi family structures. Property east and southeast of the site along Wabash Street are residential with White's Creek located east of the site meandering farther to the northeast. The application was submitted on March 4, 2004, and is attached as Attachment "B" to this staff report and identifies a 43-1ot residential development with lots ranging from 10,000 to 31,190 square feet in area. Three cul-de-sacs are proposed branching offthe main road, Rook Road. Interior lots will be accessed from Rook Road, which is partially developed due to the previous development of a four lot short plat south of the road by Green Crow Timber, and the development of three interior cul-de- sacs. It is possible that with future development of the north property, access may be provided to Porter Street or a secondary/emergency access to Wabash Street if needed. Rook Road will be completed and extended farther east and north to serve the new lots. A wetland area exists on the site and is classified as a Type III regulated wetland. The area is located in the northern portion of the subject siteand will require a 50 foot buffer due to the prbposal to develop low density residences on the property. No structures, grading, excavating, filling, draining, or other activities which may adversely affect the wetland may be conducted within the wetland or its buffer zone per Section 15.20 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. A wetland permit is being processed in conjunction with the preliminary subdivision which will provide conditions for the protection of and possible enhancement or mitigation measures for the wetland and its buffer and will allow for nondisturbing tree cutting to enhance views from the site. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW: The Fire Department has no objection to the preliminary subdivision. The subdivision is located at the edge of the Fire Department's 4 minute emergency response time area so single family residences will not be required to be equipped with residential sprinkler systems. Fire hydrants will be needed to serve the sub&v~s~on and must be placed per standards for residential subdivision development. Each side of the interior cul-de-sacs must be posted for no on-street parking if developed to the City's low impact development standards. The Public Works Utility Division stated that electrical plans and costs will be determined upon approval of submitted plan. The City will be responsible for the following items: · Providing and installing conduit, vaults, sectionalizing cabinet, cable and related equipment in the utility right of way. · Providing and installing padmount transformers and pedestals, · Providing and installing street lights. The owner/contractor will be responsible for the following: · All costs of labor & materials provided by the. City. · Survey/staking property comers and cul-de-sac bulb radius, bringing area to final grade and provide trenching (24" x 47" depth x 900' +/- length), meeting WAC Chapter 296- 155N Excavation, Trenching, and Shoring requirements. · All backfill and compaction, including street crossing on 14th Street. · Coordination with other utilities forj oint use of electrical trench (telephone, cable, etc.). 9O GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 3 The Public Works and Utilities Engineering Division had no concerns with the proposed division but will require: 1. All public improvements shall be in accordance with the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. Street design as shown shall be developed per the City's suburban street standards. 2. Right-of-way as shown - 60' for Rook Road and the three interior cul-de-sac rights-of- way shall be dedicated and improved per City development standards and dedicated to the City per the plat. 3. Underground utilities within the proposed subdivision as shown: · 8" water main to be installed and looped into the City's main service at Wabash Street with existing PUD service disconnected. · Storm drainage / detention / manholes are to be within city right-of-way or a 20' dedicated utility easement. Detention shall be shown and calculations, treatment, and erosion control plan maintenance covenant shall be provided. · 8" san/tar), sewer main to be within City right-of-way or w/thin a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' of centerline within the dedicated easement. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right,of-way. Install 4" x 4" pressure treated posts at each end of lateral, marked s/s and buried depth indicated on post.. .. · Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is finalized and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. Underground electrical service and coordination with other utilities for joint use of the electrical trench is required. 4. Driveway culverts when installed will be restricted to 30' in length. Installation of 4' walking path within subdivision shall be to City's Iow impact development standards. Th e Buildine Division commented that any private covenants more restrictive than the Zoning or Building Codes can be enforced by the homeowners but not by the City. The Parks and Recreation Department noted that an expanded site plan identifying both parcels that are owned by Green Crow Timber indicates a 2 acre playground/open space area for the final phase of the second (planned residential development) which will also be available for the subdivision residents. The Parks and Recreation Department favors such a proposal. The Port Angeles School District was sent a copy of the subdivision proposal and verbally commented that the proposal will have no negative effect on local area schools as the school population at present is below capacity. PUBLIC COMMENT: Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the proposal on March 10, 2004. The property was posted on March 12, 2004, and publication appeared in the ?eninsula Daily News on March 14, 2004. Written comments were received indicating that 91 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 4 development of the site would exacerbate a hazardous traffic situation partially due to the crown of Mt. Angeles Road in this area near the intersection with Rook Road, that a through road should be developed to Campbell Avenue through the site to allow an alternate traffic route from residences located off Mt. Angeles Road to town as there is currently no alternative exit route to the City from the area, and that wetland issues should be addressed. Staffcontacted the City's Police Department to verify written neighborhood comments regarding fatality incidents on Mt. Angeles Road in the area. A search of the City's Police Department, Clallam County Sheriff's Department, and Washington State Patrol data bases did not indicate any fatality incidents back to 1991. A number of reportable (property damage more than $750) incidents were recorded with 33 being logged since 1991. The search was from Campbell Avenue south along Mt. Angeles Road which is a significantly larger area than the Rook Road intersection. Speed is a concern in the area given the grade of the roadway as it enters the City from rural areas to the south. The Clallam County Road Department, that is responsible for maintenance of Mt. Angeles Road, noted that proposed build Out of the subdivision will have an adverse impact to South Mt. Angeles Road and has recommended that improvement to the road be made by the applicant consisting of three additional feet of asphalt shoulder to each side of the road from Rook Road north to the City maintained portion of the road (a distance of approximately 1300 feet) with drainage and grading to the right-of- way to maximize roadside safety. The County has offered to work with the applicant on alternate mitigation measures in lieu of the proposed improvement. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the proposal on May 6, 2004, which satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTAL ANALYSIS: The proposed preliminary subdivision sketch includes three cul de sacs utilizing Rook Road as access from Mt. Angeles Road within the approximately 28 acre site. The subdivision is proposed to be developed in three phases: Phase 1 will consist of the development of Lots 1 - 8 and 25-33; Phase II will consist of Lots 34-43; and Phase IH will consist of Lots 14-24. The three interior cul-de-sacs are as yet unnamed. Mt. Angeles Road is a County road at the Rook Road intersection and provides the main access to the site. Access may eventually loop through the site to Wabash Street or Campbell Avenue or Porter Street upon development of the adjacent north property owned by Green Crow Timber but is not as yet proposed. Such a plan would provide an alternate access for the subdivision. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The site is located in the City's East Planning Area which covers the eastern edge of town. This area is comprised mainly of older homes and many lots that were annexed into the City in the 1960's. The entire Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map were reviewed with regard to the proposed subdivision and those goals and policies most relevant to the proposal are identified in Attachment "D" to this staff report. In the interest of conciseness, a few pertinent goals and policies will be discussed within the body of this report as follows: 99 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 , Page 5 V. LAND U~E ELEMENT: Goal B: To have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. Policy B.I: urban services shall be available for all residential areas as required by the C. apital Facilities Element concurrency policy. The proposed subdivision will be served by City police, fire, solid waste collection, water, sewer, and telecommunications, which are all required by the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy B.2: Single family lots should be of reasonable shape and should have access provided by an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial. Policy B: All residential developments should be designed with the provisions of fire protection and service ' vehicle access as key factors in street design and circulation pattern. For efficient circulation, rights-of-way should be obtained and improvements made to further the grid street pattern of the City. Cul-de-sacs may be permit-ted when designed as an integral part of the major grid street pattern of the City. Policy B.4: All residential developments should be encouraged to preserve and capitalize on existing unusual, unique, and interesting natural features, should preserve and utilize natural vegetation, should utilize and preserve scenic views, should maximize southern exposures, should offer protection from prevailing winds, and should be designed to minimize energy use. Development of the subdivision takes into account views of the Port Angeles Harbor and Olympic Mountain range. The cmwilh~ear road design and interior cul-de-sacs maximize those views while providing access from Rook Road to Mt. Angeles Road, an arterial street, which satisfies the City street standards Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. The Green ©'ow Timber development is planned in two distinct sections: the south ownership, which is the subject subdivision, is designed to provide upscale development at its southern portion with more moderate sized and priced lots in the middle to north sections; the north ownership, which is as yet undeveloped but is proposed as a planned residential development, is intended to provide more family- type living units including multi-family development. A play area is proposed to be located on the north ownership that will be available to the entire development(s) with walking paths through the two parcels. The completed developments will fulfill Goal C as attractive to people of all ages, characteristics, and interests. VI. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Policy B.14: Off-street parking should be sufficient and accessible within business and residential areas to ensure that the traffic flow of the street is not impaired. GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 6 Policy B.18: Police and fire protection should be a key factor in residential subdivision street designs and circulation patterns. Due to the permitted reduced width of the streets through the City's Iow imlgact develo~vment standards, no parking will be allowed on Rook Road or the interior cul-de-sacs to allow for safe passage, less congestion, and emergency vehicle and garbage truck access at ali times. VII. UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT PolicY C.2: All new utility services should be undergr6und. New utility service Within the subdivision will be undergrounded. IX. CONSERVATION ELEMENT Goal A. To create and maintain a community with a high quality of life where the land is used in a manner that is compatible with the area's unique physical features, its natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment. Policy Al: The City should require all development, including the location and design of all structures and open space areas, to be compatible with the unique physical features and natural amenities of the land and complement the environment in which it is placed, while recognizing the rights of private ownership. Goal B. To protect and enhance the area's unique physical features, its natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment. Policy 1. The City should further the public interest by protecting and enhancing the area's unique physical features, valuable natural historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment, while recognizing the rights of privat~ ownership. Policy 2. The City should maintain and preserve its unique physical features and natural amenities, such as creeks, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, ravines, bluffs, shorelines, and fish and wildlife habitats. Policy 3. The City should protect and enhance the characteristics of its unique residential neighborhoods. Policy 4. Building density should decrease as natural constraints increase. Policy 5. The City shall establish minimum standards for development of properties which contain or adjoin critical areas for the purpose of protecting such areas and enhancing their natural functions. Policy 6. The City should regulate site design, preparation, and development to avoid or minimize damage to wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas. Policy 7. Recognizing the functions and values of wetlands, the City should strive to achieve no net loss of ' wetlands. Policy 8. The City should preserve uniquely featured lands which still exist in their natural states and which are notable for their aesthetic, scenic, historic, or ecological features and should prohibit any private or public development which would destroy such qualities, while recognizing the rights of private ownership. 9,1 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 7 The d~velopment as proposed will be designed around a wetland and its buffer and will contain several lots situated along the top of the White's Creek Ravine. Such development will be required to be designed to preserve the natural amenities of the land and complement the sensitive area by recognizing and/or enhancing required buffers and setbacks while providingfor development done in conjunction with the natural features in a practical manner. Lots are proposed to be larger than the minimum permitted in the RS-9 zone, which is the lowest density residential zone within the City and to provide a development that is in keeping with the la.), of the land andpreserve and capitalize on its natural features of view and slope. A wetland permit will be processed to more specifically identify development constraints and proposed develop~nent options with regard to the wetland that is situated on the site crossing onto the north property of the same ownership. Two environmentally sensitive area tracts will be required to further protect the wetlands and White's Creek Ravine. Two environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site: that portion of lots bordering on the White's Creek Ravine buffer found along the southeastern edge of the site; and a Type III wetland and its buffet' that comprises nearly 10 acres in area situated along the north to northeast portion of the site cr, ossing onto the adjacent O~orth) propertyl Rook Road encroaches into the Type I!I wetland buffer in the northeast portion of the subdivision and into the rear yards of proposed Lots 9, 13, and 14 - 18. A . wetland permit must be obtained in order to develop Rook Road north to Lots 9 - 13 and for work within the buffer area for the installation of utilities Rook Road. Without wetland permit approval, the prelimina~T layout as proposed may not be allowed and that area of the subdivision and utility corridor will need to be redesigned. X. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT Goal A: To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public. Goal B: To provide urban streets and utilities at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general public. As previously stated, the development will be constructed under the City's low impact development standards with respect to street width, ditching, and separated pedestrian walkways. Water and sewer will be extended to the site fi'om Wabash Street and Campbell Avenue to meet the City's minimum water flow standards for fire protection and residential service and allow for the provision of sewer to the proposed sites. STATE SUBDIVISION STANDARDS - RCW 58.17 The Revised Code of Washington RCW 5 8.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 5 8.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment ora subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 95 96 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004" Page 9 ~ I ATTACHMENT "A" Conditions, findings, and Conclusions in support of the Green Crow Preliminary Subdivision Conditions: 1. Sixty (60') foot ofright-0f-way shall be dedicated extending Rook Road to proposed Lot 8. At minimum, an improved.surface along Rook Road to a final width of 24' with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path shall be developed per the City's low impact development standards. Streets and cul-de-sacs within the subdivision must be posted for "no parking" due to the limitation of street width required under the City's low impact development standards. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000' Of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is PrOvided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, an 8 inch water service shall be extended looping the service at Wabash Street disconnecting PUD service to the area. Construction shall be as required by the Public Works and Utilities Department. 5. Storm drainage / detention / manholes are to be within city right-of-way or a 20' dedicated utility easement. Detention shall be shown and calculations, treatment, and erosion control plan maintenance covenant shall be provided. 6. An 8" sanitary sewer main shall constructed within dedicated City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' of centerline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to a depth indicated on the post. 7. Stormwater improvement plans shall be submitted for approval per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and installed prior to final plat approval. Installation may be phased with the three phases proposed for final approval as proposed in the March 4, 9, 2004, application. 8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat and address numbers provided by the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots. 9. A neighborhood play area proposed for development with the adjacent (north) parcel shall be made available to residents of the subdivision. 97 GREEN CROW, Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 , Page 10 I Findings: 1. Preliminary approval is for a 43-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and Associates on March 4, 2004, for Green Crow Timber identified as being in Blocks 6, 7, and a portion of 8, Beacon Hill Addition located east of Mt. Angeles Road south of Campbell Avenue. The property is bounded by Campbell Avenue on the north, Rook Road on the south, Mt. Angeles Road on the west, Wabash Street on the east, and White's Creek to the southeast. The subject property is the south approximately 28 acre site of two adjacent properties owned by Green Crow Timber. 2. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local requirements for the approval of subdivisions and Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. Section 16.08 PAMC states that a final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development , Department within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said preliminary approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within the five year period. 3. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision and determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys and other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 4. The site is zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family and is located at the south edge of the City limits east of White's Creek. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,000 square feet to 31,190 square feet in area. The purpose of the City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's singl~mily residential neighborhoods, following a GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 11 ',~ cuqilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots,I minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot fights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land 5. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electr/cal service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the' time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services , Element Policy'C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5. 6. The subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the development of Lots 1- 8 and 25-33; Phase II will consist of Lots 34 - 43 (northwest cul-de-sac); and Phase I1/ will consist of Lots 14-24 (middle cul-de -sac). No timing is scheduled for Lots 9-13'at the present but development of those lots is dependent on issues relative to the required wetland buffer in that area. 7. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer, and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be extended through conditions to the preliminary plat. 8. The site is currently served from Mt. Angeles Road which is a county road. Rook Road could be extended to loop to Wabash Avenue and Porter Street at some point depending on the need for a secondary or emergency access route. Rook Road would be developed to suburban residential standards that would include a 24' improved asphalt surface with a ditch and 4' walking path per the City's low impact development standards and guidelines. Right-of-way dedication and improvement for a ditch and pedestrian walking path are required for the continued development of Rook Road. 9. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003 with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards would not allow for on-street parking. Site development and design for residential lots developed under the lower impact standards need to accommodate resident parking and visitor parking on-site. Roadside ditches developed under Iow impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property owners. Improvements for school walking routes in the vicinity of the subdivision will be required with other street improvements. 99 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 12 10. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section 16.08 PA_MC) which provides specific design standards expected of subdivisions within the City The site is served by City water, sewer, telecommunication, solid waste, and emergency services - police and fire. Open space consisting of a Playground/recreation area and trail system for recreation purposes is proposed. Streets will be developed to the City's low impact development standards including ditches and walking paths separated fi.om the ' traveled street for pedestr/an safety. Design ~tandards state that street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. Drainage plans must be prepared and approved by the Public Works Department prior to development and shall include requirements of the wetland permit (WP 04-01) for the proposed development of the eastern extension of Rook Road and utilities through the buffer area. Intrusion into the buffer for street and utility development will include an adequate proposal for enhancement or buffer averaging of the wetland. 11. Two environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site: a portion of White's Creek buffer is found along the southeastern edge of the site bordering White's Creek; and an area along the north to northeast portion of the site that crosses onto the adjacent property is noted as containing a Type Irt wetland and its buffer that comprises nearly 10 acres of the site. Rook Road encroaches into the buffer in the northeast portion of the proposed subdivision and into the rear yards of proposed Lots 9, 13, and 14 - 18. A wetland permit must be obtained in order to develop Rook Road north to Lots 9 - 13 and for work within the buffer area for the installation of utilities Rook Road. Without wetland permit approval, the preliminary layout as proposed may not be allowed and that area of the subdivision and utility corridor will need to be redesigned. Sewer to serve the area extends along the BPA powerline easement south to Rook Road. The site is not listed on the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps which denote those areas that are within 100-year flood areas. 12. The owner of a construction site which disturbs a total of five acres or more of land area that has a discharge of stormwater to a surface water or storm sewer system must apply to the State Department of Ecology for a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction Activities. 13. Building permits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including residential sprinkler systems. 14. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to plan for needed public school facilities and routes. School busses travel along Mt. Angeles Road to Franklin School. Peninsula College is located approximately ½ mile north and east of the site. 15. The City's Parks Department responded that they are aware of the preliminary proposal and do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a result of the d velopment.

Walking paths around the environmentally sensitive areas may be counted as open space. 16. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on May 6, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's responsibility under the Act. 17. The Planning Commission's decision is a recommendation to the City Council. The Commission acts as the City's hearing body for preliminary_ subdivision approval. Reports are advisory only to ensure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the geperal purposes of the City's Comprehensive Plan and'to planning standards and specifications adopted by the City. 18. Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the, proposal on March 10, 2004. The property was posted on March 12, 2004, and publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on March 14, 2004. Written comments regarding traffic concerns on Mt. Angeles Road were received by three neighbors as a result of the public notification. Conclusions: A. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, specifically Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B. 11, B.14, and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.. B. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles Zoning Code (Title 17 PAMC), and Section 15.24 (Wetlands) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Conditions imposed by Wetland Permit WP 04-01 are necessary to mitigate the direct impacts of the project on the adjacent wetland and buffer and are roughly proportionate to those impacts per Section 15.24 PAMC. C. As' conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act D. Appropriate provisions have been made in the proposed subdivision application for the public health, safety and general welfare, for open spaces, playground/recreation, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, and pedestrian walkways. E. As conditioned, signage informing residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street parking will ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations where on-street parking could prevent ease of passage for emergency vehicles and sight distance safety issues. ] 0'1 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 14 F. Clewing and grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from the site as a result of development through the subdivision process. A wetland permit will determine the disturbance of the existing wetland area and may require enhanced buffering in the event the existing buffer is to be altered. G. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this 'subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. Furthermore, the subdivision provides for development of ne ,w homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the State of Washington Growth Management Act. 102 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision Ma3' 12, 2004 .X Page 15 ", ATTACHMENT "C" COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CITATIONS RELATIVE TO THE GREEN CROW PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PROPOSAL Dexig~ation The Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identifies the site as Low Density Residential (LDR).

The City shall establish minimum standards for development of properties which contain or adjoin critical areas for the purpose of protecting such areas and enhancing their natural functions. Policy 6. The City should regulate site design, preparation, and development to avoid or minimize damage to wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas. Policy 7. Recognizing the functions and values of wetlands, the City should strive to. achieve no net loss of wetlands. Policy 8. The City should preserve uniquely featured lands which still exist in their natural states and which are notable for their aesthetic, scenic, historic, or ecological features and should prohibit any private or public development which would destroy such qualities, while recognizing the. rights of private ownership. The development as proposed will be designed around a wetland and its buffer and will contain several lots situated along a bank of White's Creek. Such development will be required to be designed to preserve the natural amenities of the land and complement the sensitive area by recognizing required buffers and setbacks while providing for development within the City that can be done in conjunction with the natural features in a practical manner. Lots are proposed to be larger than the minimum permitted in the RS-9 zone, which is the lowest density residential zone within the City, to provide a development that is in keeping with the lay of the land and preserve and capitalize on its natural features of view and slope. X. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT Goal A: To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public. Goal B.' To provide urban streets and utilities at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general public. Policy B.I: All arterial streets shall function at an average daily level of service of D or better. Policy B.3: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with water service at or greater than the following level of service standards at the time of development: Single family units: 2 gallons per minute ~ 30 psi ( fire - 1,000 gallons per minute ~ 20 psi). Policy B.4: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with sewer service at or greater than a level of service standard of 300 gallons per day per person at the time of development.

Goal C: To provide urban services at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general public. Policy C.I: The Port Angeles School District should develop a capital facilities plan, which the. City will consider for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital facilities plan should contain at least a six-year plan for public financing of such facilities as may be necessary to provide adequate public schools at or greater than the following level of service standards in order to meet anticipated increases in student enrollment, which may be anticipated based on the School District's projected enrollment figures and residential growth as provided for in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan: High School: 125 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student, Middle School: 104 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student, and Elementary School: 100 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student. If capacity is inadequate to house students at the established level of service standards (LOS) and adequate school funding is not available, then the demand for new facilities will be reduced (e.g. through year round use of schools or by matching grade and enrollment to facility capacities) or the level of service standards will be reduced to keep both schools and housing development affordable to the majority of Port Angeles School District residents. Imposition of Growth Management Act impact fees on or denial of new development will not be used as a measure to prevent further degradation of school services, unless the reduced level of service standards are deemed unacceptable to Port Angeles School District No. 121, Clallam County, and the City of Port Angeles. Policy C.2: The City should not approve any development that will not be served with adequate transit service as determined in the comprehensive service and facilities plan for transportation within six years from the time of development. Policy C.3: The City should not approve any development that will not be served at or greater than a city-wide level of service standard of 9 acres of parks per 1,000 population within six years from the time of development. 106 GREEN CROW Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 19 Policy C.4: The City shou]d not approve any development that will not be served at or less than the following level of service standards at the time of development: Police: 677 persons per one officer.

Angeles Road for forty years and am well aware of the increased traffic from developments off Key Road, off Doss Road, and offBent Cedars as well as the numerous private homes built to the south offMt. Angeles and adjoining roadways. Mt. Angeles is the only route to the city so it carries all of the traffic. In studying the preliminary plat by Green Crow Properties for the area between Rook Drive and Campbell Avenue it appears that the three cul-de-sacs proposed to accommodate 43 lots would have their main access via Rook Drive off Mt. . Angeles Road. It is not clear whether Rook Drive connects to Campbel]' Avenue on the east end since Campbell Avenue doesn't show on the map. It would seem important that the area be accessible via Campbell on both east and west in order to distribute the increased traffic from 43 homes more equitably. The Rook Drive access on to Mt. Angeles is located at a curve with limited visibility and it would be very dangerous to add tiffs volume of traffic there. There is already a lfistory of serious/fatal accidents on Mt. Angeles Road. I don't think any volume studies have been done but would seem necessary before any impact from a development of 43 lots could be considered. With the removal of the trees which were on a wetland area adjacent to our prope~y, tl~e area is now weber. It's ironic that the map indicates this as ~n area of dense trees; thai certainly is no longer true. I appreciate your taking the time to read and evaluate the comments I have made.

With 14 years of Mt. Angeles Road driving experience I strongly urge you to consider a Campbell Avenue outlet to this area. Mt. Angeles Road traffic has increased steadily with new home construction and the housing development on Doss Road. Drivers frequently speed up and down Mt. Angeles creating close calls for those entering onto Mt. Angeles Road. With the potential of 43 homes in the Rook Drive development accessing Mt. Angeles Road at an already limited vision entrance is of great concern. We have already had a fatality accident' in the near vicinity. When the hostage situation in the Campbell Avenue home occurred several years ago, it bloOked all Mt. Angeles traffic for hours. Mt. Angeles Road is the only access to the North. By having an outlet from Rook Drive to Campbell Avenue, it will decrease the traffic impact from Rook Drive to Mt. Angeles Road. Also, should Mt. Angeles Road be blocked, residents would have another access to the North. Please consider feedback from those who live in the Mt. Angeles area. Sincerely, 118 3624 ~o. Mt.

Instead, you sent.us a letter informing us abut the project .' about a year after you approved it. Green Crow cleared the land--including cutting away many beautiful trees--and went ahead and constructed the Rook Road just above the Drain fqmily property and across the road from part of our own property. Parts of the land deserves to be in the wet category, ariel Rook Road is positioned so that it will be a severe driving menace because where it enters Mt. Angeles Road, which already has considerable traffic, because it is very near a big curve not many'yards from A sharp dowhhill grade on Mt. Angeles Road. We ak. eady need to be very alert for oncoming cars as we want to exit fi.om our yards onto Mt. Angeles Road. That is because we ha{,e a very short distance between our drJveivay onto Mt. Angeles. Rook Road cuts that distance to becoming super-dangerous. There have been at least four fatal accidents on Mt. Angeles Road due to the road confmuation described above. Now it will be super-dangerous. We neighbors believe you need to do right away is a detailed study of the road curve and grade related to the new project with. its assurance of infinitely heavier traffic in this most dangerous part of Mt.

Mount Angeles Road. (Parcel # 063014310100) The Clallam County Public Works Department reviewed the SEPA checklist (r~ceived May 3, 2004, for the above-mentioned project) for impacts to County Roads. This project consists of a 43-1ot subdivision that will access S. Mount Angeles Road via Rook Drive. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) 6th Edition under the category of single-family detached dwellings indicates this project's average daily trips (ADT) will be approximately 430 (43 lots x 10 ADT/per lot = 430). The added ADT will be approximately 420 (42 lots x 10 ADT/per lot = 420) due to the one existing parcel. The County portion of S. Mount Angeles Road from Rook Drive north to the City limits (approximately 1,300 feet) is an average of 26 feet wide with 1,210 average daily trips (ADT). The County's design standard for the existing traffic count recommends a minimum width of 34 feet. Upon total build out of this subdivision, the traffic will increase by approximately 35 percent (420 ADT / 1,210 ADT x 100 = 34.7%). With this development's increase in traffic, the County's design standard recommends a minimum width of 40 feet. The Clallam County Public Works Department believes this increase of traffic will have an adverse impact to S. Mount Angeles Road. The following is the Clallam County Public Works recommendation for m/t/gat/on of this subdivision's added traffic to S. Mount Angeles Road: To account for the necessary increase in road width from 34 to 40 feet wide, the developer shall add an additional three feet of asphalt shoulder width to each side of S. Mount Angeles Road from Rook Drive North to the City maintained portion of/he road.

(Parcel # 063014 310100). The Clallam County Pubhc Works Department initially reviewed and commented on the SEPA checklist, in a letter to Sue Roberds dated May 4, 2004. On May 18, 2004, I met with the developer and the City of Port Angeles staff to further review these comments. This letter includes the Clallam County Public Works revised comments for this development, based on additional information I received during the May 18, 2004, meeting. This development's impacts to the County portion of South Mount Angeles Road are identified as follows: [] This project consists of a 43-1ot subdivision that will access South Mount Angeles Road via Rook Drive. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) 6th Edition under the categorY of single-family detached dwellings indicates this proj. ect's average daily trips (AZ)T) will be approximately 430 (43 lots x 10 ADT/per lot = 430). The added ADT will be approximately 420 (42 lots x l 0 ADT/per lot = 420) due to the one existing parcel. [] The County portion of South Mount Angeles Road from Rook Drive north to the City limits (approximately 1,300 feet) is an average of 26 feet wide with 1,210 average daily trips (ADT). The County's design standard for the existing traffic count recommends a minimum width of 34 feet. Upon total build out of this subdivision, the traffic will increase by approximately 35 percent (420 ADT / 1,210 ADT x 100 = 34.7%). With this development's increase in traffic, the County's design standard recommends a minimum width of 40 feet. The Clallam County Public Works Department believes this increase of traffic will have an adverse impact to South Mount Angeles Road. The above mentioned impacts for total buildout of this development are essentially the same as we mentioned in our previous comments (dated May. 4, 2004). From our J:\UserskRBRADFOR\LETTERS\Green C'[(l~Rook Drive SEPA comments.doc meeting on May 18, 2004, we understand that the City of Port Angeles has recently adol~ted new low impact development standards that allow suburban arterial streets to be 24 feet wide. We also realize that the impacted portion of South Mount Angeles Road is in the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area. Clallam County's comments for this subdivision are based strictly on Clallam County adopted road standards for this development's traffic impacts to South Mount Angeles Road The major issue appears to be the difference in road standards between the City of Port Angeles and Clallam County. As long as Clallam County maintains and is responsible for this portion of South Mount Angeles Road, we need to comment appropriately and according to our adopted standards. The Following, are Clallam County Public Works Department revised recommendations for mitigation of this subdivision's added traffic to South Mount Angeles Road: 1~ To account for the necessary increase in road width from 34 to 40 feet wide, the developer should be required to add an additional three feet of asphalt shoulder , width to each side of South Mount Angeles Road, from Rook Drive North to the City maintained portion of the road. The drainage, cut, and fill slopes will need to be filled and re-graded to the right of way limits to maximize roadside safety. 2. A Road Approach Permit #RDP2002-00382 was permitted for a 4-lot subdivision on August 26, 2002. If this 43-1ot subdivision was redesigned to encourage convenient and efficient access to Campbell Avenue, traffic impacts could be reduced dramatically to the County maintained portion of South Mount Angeles Road. We would welcome the oppomlnity to review and comment on any layout that reduces traffic impacts to South Mount Angeles Road. 3. An alternative solution, to avoid the discrepancy in road standards, would be for the City of Port Angeles to annex this portion of the urban growth area. Clallam County would also consider an agreement where the City of Port Angeles takes over liability and all maintenance and other responsibilities for this portion of the road, as mentioned in your May 19, 2004 letter. The Clallam County Public Works Department is still willing to consider any other proposal by the City of Port Angeles or the proponent as mitigation for adverse traffic impacts.

Box 3041 ~: ~.~ Port Angeles, WA 98362-0338 ~ 360-457-3078 bATE: ,TUNE 1, 2004 TO: FELLOW CITY COUNCIL MEMBER5 AND CITY STAFF FROM: ,TACK FriT3~5, C~TY COUNCIL MEMBER RE: GREEN CROW PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION hue to the complexity of the subdivision, I have written out my comments and questions, which follow: 1. I am confused by the comment on page 71 that says, "At the time of this memorandum, the City was awaiting final comments from the County Roads Engineer regarding the City Engineer's recommendation." The packet contains (page 1;75 & 1;76) a letter from Clallam County Roads dated May 25th. Is there a different letter that we anticipate? Later on page 72 staff comments about suggesting more follow up on the County Roads comments. I must assume that this issue will be clarified during our meeting. a. It would also have been nice to see a larger scale map of the area to see how the proposed walkway system fits into the non-motorized plan, if it does. The justification for the trail substitution for a walkway along Mt. Angeles is limited and only somewhat covered in Conclusions (E). 2. The Conditions, Findings and Conclusions do not say anything about an agreement between the beveloper and the City. How does the construction of improvements for existing "sewer and/or stormwater drainage problems in the Porter 5treat area..." mentioned on page 72, relate to the approval of this proposed subdivision? What are we doing, why are we doing it and what is the relationship of the improvements to the development? Is the development reliant on these improvements being made to existing infrastructure? Is there inadequate capacity in the existing systems to permit the development of 43 homes? The staff report does not indicate that there are any problems with existing infrastructure serving the proposed development. 3. Page 72 states that "As a result of this subsequent wetland permit the lot and street configuration could be altered between preliminary and final plat approval." If this is the case, how do we know what we are to approve, if it will be altered before final approval? It is true that there are a number of difficult issues related to this subdivision, which means that they should be worked out (or at least get close) before approval is sought. 4. Condition 1 - Shouldn't this condition contain more specific language that Rook brive will be extended from Mt. Angeles Road to Wabash Street and that it will be fully improved to city standards within the plat and to the gravel standard from the plat north to Wabash. ]~n addition, if the plat is submitted for Final Plat prior to improving Rook to Wabash, a construction bond should be submitted guaranteeing such improvements. 5. ~[f the extension of Rook to Wabash Street is to be made then Findings (7) should be changed to indicate that 'Rook brive 'will" not could be extended to loop to Wabash.. 6. The letter from the County (page 12§) regarding impacts to Mt. Angeles Rd. did not take into account that there will be two accesses out of the proposed subdivision. Has this been discussed with the County after the letter? 7. Condition 4 - What is an 8-inch water service? bo we mean an 8-inch water line will be looped from existing city system and all PUl) services are to be disconnected? 8. Condition 6 - There is a "be" missing between the words shall and constructed in the first sentence. There is a missing number 5 between the words offset and feet in the first sentence second line. (Reference page 9:1 of packet.) T assume that all design of the utilities is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer, especially with regard to placement in easements areas where maintenance might be difficult. 9. Condition 9 - Can we maintain another park? Do we have the budget to make the improvements? Since much of the area is a wetland, are we better off with a more passive rather than active park space? ]: am concerned about our commitment of future funds that we mm/not have. 10. The maps in the packet on pages ll3 and ll§ show different number for lots within this preliminary subdivision. Which ones are correct? ]~t is not possible to determine what the phases will be without the correct numbering. T assume that page ll§ is correct based on some wording in the staff report, but there is handwriting on page ll§ that indicates that that page is 'Background only". Probably because it includes the future development of property to north, which we cannot rely upon as it is not a part of this proposal. ll. Findings 7 - ]~n the second line the word 'short" should be replaced by 'long". T am very concerned about the apparent lack of resolution of some fairly significant issues. T hope that there is additional clarification during the meeting. ORTANGELES WASHINGTON, U.S.A. CiTY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June 1, 2004 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER SUBJECT: NEW V]-EW - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION ECKARD STREET EAST OF PORTER STREET Summary: The proposal is to develop a 15 unit subdivision on an approximately 4.59 acre site in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. . Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the NEW VIEW ~reliminary subdivision citing the Planning Commission's conditions, findings, and conclus, ions in :Upl~ort of that action. Background / Analysis: Per RCW 58.17, if a city, town or county has established a planning commission, such commission or agency shall review all preliminary plats and make recommendations thereon to the city's legislative body to assure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the general purposes of the comprehensive plan and to planning standards and specifications adopted by the city. Repons of the planning commission or agency shall be advisory only. RCW 58.17.100 requires the legislative body to approve or rej eot the Planning Commission's recommendation following a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission. If, after consideration of the matter at a public meeting, the legislative body deems a change in the recommendation is necessary, the legislative body shall adopt its own recommendations and approve or disapprove the plat. Statutorily, this process must occur within 90 days of receipt of the application. Following a public hearing conducted on May 12, 2004, the Planning Commission moved 6-1 to recommend approval of the New View preliminary subdivision with conditions relating to required infrastructure improvements per Section 16.08 PAMC and the City's Urban Services and Standards and Guidelines for low impact development. The proposal is a replat of property originally platted in 1907, which, upon annexation in 1992, was required to be replatted to minimum City standards prior to development. The proposal will result in lots that meet the City's minimum standards with regard to lot size, lot width to depth ratio, street and utility development, and residential and emergency vehicle access issues. The 4.59 acre site is situated east of Mt. Angeles Road just south of Campbell Avenue and will result in 15 residential building sites in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. While access to the site is expected to be mainly from Mt. Angeles Road, which is within the City in this location, 127 Council Memorandum - June 1, 2004 New View preliminary subdivision Page 2 access can also be obtained from Porter Street, which will be improved as a part of the development. No neighborhood concerns were brought up during the public hearing. Staff's report and an excerpt of the Planning Commission's minutes are attached for your information. 'St~ Roberds, Assis,¢nt Planner Attachments: Conditions, Findings and Conclusions May 12, 2004, Planning Commission Minutes Departmen! Report 128 CONDITIONS, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE PRELIMINARY NEW . VIEW S,,UBDIVISION: Conditions: 1. Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City Public Works and Utilities Department. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000' of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, all public improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines including an 8 inch water se/vice along the , northern portion of Eckard Avenue right-of-way and the western portion of the Porter Street right-of-way. Storm drainage/detention manholes are to be within City right-of-way or wi thin a 20' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required. An 8" sanitary sewer main shall be constructed within dedicated City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' of centerline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to a depth indicated on the post. 5. Street design and development shall be per City suburban street standards with 60' rights-of- way for Eckard Avenue and Porter Street and 20' for an alley along the south side of the subdivision. Driveway culverts will be restricted to 30' in length. An 8' walking path is required along Porter Street because the street is a designated school walking route. Streets shall be dedicated to the City through the subdivision process. "No parking" signs shall be placed along Eckard Avenue and Porter Street if the streets are developed to the City's low impact development standards. Findings: 1. The preliminary subdivision application was submitted on March 6, 2004, by Zenovic and Associates for Jeff Priest. The property is owned by Norman Rockford and Janice Andrew who are selling the site to Mr. Priest and who provided written authorization for the preliminary subdivision application to be submitted. The final plat will be entitled New · View Subdivision 2. The proposal is to subdivide a 4.59 acre parcel of land into 15 residential lots in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,027 square feet to 9,626 square feet in area. 129 New View Preliminary Subdivision Conditions, Findings. and Conclusions June 1, 2004 Page 2 3. The proposed site is located east of Mt. Angeles Road between Campbell Avenue and undeveloped Eckard Avenue and is legally described as being Lots 1 - 11 in Block 8, and Lots 17-32 Block 5, Illinois Addition. The area is located approximately ½ mile from the City's southern limits. 4. The site is currently accessed from Campbell Avenue via unimproved Porter Street, however, the applicant is proposing to establish Eckard Avenue extending from Porter Street west connecting to Mt. Angeles Road, which is a city road in this location, during construction for the subdivision lots. Eckard Avenue was'originally platted to access Mt. Angeles Road but has never been opened. Both Porter Street and Eckard Avenue must be improved and rededicated through the subdivision process. 5. Properties west, south, and north of the site are zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family. Property northeast along Campbell Avenue is zoned RHD, Residential High Density with property directly east and southeast zoned RS-9. White's Creek is located in a meandering north to northeast line approximately 1/4 mile east of the adjacent property. 6. ~ The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre and is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. 7. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for development of subdivisions within the City. Conditions maybe added to a preliminary subdivision approval that will ensure compliance with the development standards of Chapter 16.08 PAMC. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat at a public hearing along with written recommendations of reviewing departments and agencies with jurisdiction, and shall forward a recommendation to the City Council that will act on the proposal within a period of 90 days following submittal of the preliminary application to the City Department of Community Development. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public in~r~s6will be served by the subdivision. A proposed New View Preliminary Subdiv£sion Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions dune I, 2004 Page $ subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these plovisions are made. 9. The proposed preliminary plat was reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments, and the Clallam County Road Department. Comments have been included in review of the proposed subdivision and resulting conditions should address any concerns or issues that were raised by reviewers. The site will be served by City water, power, sewer, solid waste, and emergency services - Police and Fire. Porter Street will be improved to the City's low impact development standards which will include an 8' pedestrian walking path due to its identification as a school walking route. Eckard Avenue will also be improved to the City's low impact development standards including a 4' pedestrian walking path and will connect to Mt. Angeles Road which will provide a more direct egress route from the area rather than funneling all traffic to Campbell Avenue. 10. Public notice of the subdivision application was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on March 19, 2004, posted on-site March 22, 2004, and published in the Peninsula Daily News on March 24, 2004. No written comments were received as a result of the public notification. 11. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles ComprehensiVe Plan Land Use Map .The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B. 1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B. 14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policies C.2 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.9 and A.10, and Goal B. 12. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area. Franklin Elementary School and Peninsula Community College are located in the area. The School District has indicated that at the present time, school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 13. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works and Utilities Departments. 14. Building permits will be required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes will apply to any new construction on the subject property. 131 New View Preliminary Subdivision Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions June 1, 2004 Page 4 15. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 6, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the subdivision are required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance and are necessary to implement the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. ' All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subdivision or are available in the area. Storm drainage, electrical, and telecommunications improvements are the only street and utility requirements which have not been installed per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines but will be provided by the developer. C. A play area has not been required because the subdivision falls below the 30-lot threshold policy for the requirement of new recreation areas set by the City. D. 'As conditioned, the preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal B, and Policies B. 1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B. 14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D. 1 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goals A and B, and Policy A.9, and with the Zoning Code, Section 17.11 PAMC. E. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. F. As conditioned and proposed, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. G. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and is therefore beneficial to the City's tax base. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of June 1, 2004. Richard Headrick, Mayor 132 Becky J.

Angeles Road and Porter Street ' PROPOSAL: Develop an approximately 4.59 acre property into 15 home sites in the RS-9 zone DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Community Development recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary New View subdivision with the 5 conditions, 15 findings, and 7 conclusions found in Attachment "A" PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: The approximately 4.59 acre site is located east of Mt. Angeles Road, north of Rook Road, and south of Campbell Avenue, between Mt. Angeles Road and Porter Street. The area was platted in 1907 while in the County to lot sizes (5,000 square feet) that do not conform to the City's minimum standards for the RS-9 zone. As the site remained largely undeveloped at the time of annexation in 1992, a condition of annexation required the site to be resubdivided into lots conforming with the RS-9 zone standards prior to development. The site has a gentle slope to the north of approximately 5% and is basically rectangular in shape. No environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site. 139 New View Preliminary Subdiv~ion May 12, 2004 Page 2 DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW: The Fire Department noted that two fire hydrants are proposed at the east and west ends of the development along the north side of Eckard Avenue. If through access is not provided from Mt. Angeles Road along Eckard Avenue to Porter Street to Campbell Avenue, a cul-de-sac will be required at the west end of Eckard Avenue. No parking will be allowed on either Eckard Avenue or Porter Street if the streets are developed to the City's low impact development standard of 20' improved surface, and the streets must be signed for ,"No Parking." The Public Works and Utilities Department noted that all public improvements shall be in accordance with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines. Street design shall be per City suburban street standards with 60' rights-of-way for Eckard Avenue and Porter Street. Underground utilitie~ will be an 8" water main along the northern portion of the Eckard Avenue right-of-way and along the western portion of the Porter Street right- of-way. Two (2) fire hydrants are required. Storm drainage/detention manholes are to be within City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required. · Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" pvc and placed within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be installed at each end of the laterals, buried to a depth indicated on the post, and marked. · Electrical utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary is finalized and when additional required data for such is provided. Underground electrical service is required. Coordination with other utilities for joint use of the electric trench is required. · Driveway culverts will be restricted to 30' in length. A 4' walking path shall be shown within the subdivision with an 8' walking path on Porter Street because Porter Street is a designated school walking route. PUBLIC COMMENT: Public notification was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on March 24, 2004, and mailed to surrounding property owners on March 22, 2004. The site was posted on March 19, 2004. No written public comment was received with regard to the notification. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Determination of Nonsignificance was issued for the proposal on May 3, 2004, by the City's SEPA Responsible Official. This satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act. DEPARTMENTAL ANALYSIS: The Illinois Addition area was platted in 1907 but never fully developed with some identified streets and alleys never constructed. The subdivision to minimum standards will result in a lower density than the previously platted 30-lot development that contained lots of approximately 5500 140 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 3 square feet. ".Proposed lots will all be a minimum of 7,000 square feet in area. The proposal will result in the orderly( development of the site complete with adequate streets developed to the City's low impact development standards and the provision of an alley, which was also in the original plat, and is in accordance with Comprehensive Plan policies for residential development and consistent with other development in the area. The proposed subdivision conforms to the City's standards for subdivisions with regard to lot size and street access requirements, stormwater drainage, sanitary waste, solid waste, potable water, electrical, and telecommunications improvements, which must be placed per the City's Urban Services Standards. The City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity. The closest recreation areas are the National Park Visitor Center and the Franklin Elementary School play area. However, the subdivision is below the 30-1ot threshold used to determine when new play areas will be required for new development. The City's Subdivision Ordinance and Urban Standards and Guidelines require the development of sidewalks along arterial streets but not on local access streets unless such a street is also a designated school walking route. While Eckard Avenue is not an arterial street or a school walking route, Porter Street is a school walking route but not an arterial street. Right-of-way along Porter Street is required as pan of the subdivision along with its development to minimum City standards including an 8' walking path separated from the traveled way by a ditch. Eckard Avenue must be dedicated and improved to a minimum 20' width with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path. The proposed connection to Mt. Angeles Road, which was in the original platting of the area, will allow an alternate travel route for residents from the area than via Campbell Avenue. Property needs to be obtained to allow this connection as, over the years, property between the subject' site and Mt. Angeles Road has been acquired by other property owners in the area. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals, policies, and objectives of the City as well as the desired urban design. It is the basis upon which City officials are to make land use decisions. Any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the desired urban design of the City. The entire Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies the subject site as Low Density Residential (LDR). The site is found in the City's Southeast Planning Area. The following Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives are cited specifically in consideration of the preliminary subdivision proposal although the entire Plan was reviewed with respect to the preliminary subdivision and is referenced more completely in Attachment "C". V. LAND USE ELEMENT - Residential Goals and Policies: Goal B. To have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. Policy B.I: Urban services shall be available for all residential areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. The proposed subdivision will be served by City police, fire, solid waste collection, water, sewer, and telecommunications, which are all required by the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan. lZil New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 4 Policy B.2: Single family lots should be of reasonable shape and should have access provided by an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial. The proposed lot sizes are rectangular in shape and conform in width, length, and area to the minimum standards of the RS-9 zone and platting requirements for the City of Port Angeles. A condition of approval will require that right-of-way be dedicated such that all lots access from a local access street (Eckard Avenue or Porter Street) and right-of-way for an alley dedication is required. Alley access is the preferred development pattern in the City as it provides a rear entrance to . properties, additional parking and storage areas, and a corridor for utility uses. VI. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Policy B.18: Police and fire protection should be a key factor in residential subdivision street designs and circulation patterns. The area will be served by the City's Police Department and is within the four minute emergency response area to Fire Department personnel. Low impact development standards will require that no parking be allowed on Eckard A venue or Porter Street to allow ease of passage, lower congestion, and, allow emergency access at all times. Street width and design designated as "No Parking" areas will ensure adequate passage for emergency vehicles and will provide a safe, separated walking area for pedestrians and school children. City sewer, water, power, and telecommunications will be provided to each residence. VII. UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT Policy C.2: All new utility services should be underground. New utility service within the subdivision will be undergrounded Policy D.I: Urban services should be designed for the maximum planned density and/or land use intensity of a given area as designated on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Utility services will be sized to allow maximum density development of the RS-9 zoned area.. X. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT Goal A: To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public. Policy A.9: The City shall require concurrency at the time of development for the following utilities and services: streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service. Policy A.10: The City should require the following utilities and services at the time of development: solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response). Stormwater drainage improvements, installation of electrical power, as well as other required telecommunication facilities, optional street lighting, and future fiber optic ability will meet or exceed the concurrency requirements for new development. 142 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 5 · . Goal B: To l~rowde urban streets and utilities at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general publiC. As previously stated, the development will be constructed under the City's low impact development standards with respect to street width, ditching, and separated pedestrian walkways. Water and sewer will be extended to the site from Wabash Street and Campbell Avenue to meet the City's minimum water flow standards for fire protection and residential service and allow for the provision of sewer to the proposed sites. ZONING CODE: The Zoning Code (Title 17 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code) is the primary.ordinance for implementing the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes minimum design standards for such uses. Any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Code has been reviewed with respect to the proposal. Although the entire ordinance has not been cited in this staff report, development standards and regulations found to be most'relevant to the subdivision are included in Attachment "C". The Zoning Map identifies the site as RS-9, Residential Single Family which requires a minimum 9,000 square feet for each building site. The RS-9 zone is intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. The proposed subdivision conforms to the RS-9 zoning requirements with lots ranging from 9027 square feet to 9626 square feet. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE: The City's Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code)has been reviewed with respect to the proposal. Although the entire ordinance has not been cited, the development standards, policies, and regulations found to be most relevant to the proposal are included in Attachment "C". The proposed subdivision conforms to the requirements of 16.08 PAMC with regard to lot size, lot width to depth ratio, street and utility development, and residential and emergency vehicle access. T:\SUB\Newview.wpd 143 144 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 6 ATTACHMENT A CONDITIONS: 1. Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City Public Works and Utilities Department. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000' of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, all public improvements shall be installed in accordance'with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines including an 8 inch water service along the northern portion of Eckard Avenue right-of-way and the western portion of the Porter Street right-of-way. Storm drainage/detention manholes are to be within City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required. An 8" sanitary sewer main shall be constructed within dedicated City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' of centerline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to a depth indicated on the post. 5. Street design and development shall be per City suburban street standards with 60' rights-of- way for Eckard Avenu~ and Porter Street and 20' for an alley along the south side of the subdivision. Driveway 'culverts will be restricted to 30' in length. An 8' walking path is required along Porter Street because the street is a designated school walking route. Streets shall be dedicated to the City through the subdivision process. "No parking" signs shall be placed along Eckard Avenue and Porter Street if the streets are developed to the City's low impact development standards. FINDINGS: 1. The preliminary subdivision application was submitted on March 6, 2004, by Zenovic and Associates for Jeff Priest. The property is owned by Norman Rockford and Janice Andrew who are selling the site to Mr. Priest and who provided written authorization for the preliminary subdivision application to be submitted. The final plat will be entitled New View Subdivision 2. The proposal is to subdivide a 4.59 acre parcel of land into 15 residential lots in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,027 square feet to 9,626 square feet in area. 145 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 ,~ Page 7 ~ 3. The proposed site is located east of Mt. Angeles Road between Campbell Avenue and undeveloped Eckard Avenue and is legally described as being Lots 1 - 11 in Block 8, and Lots 17-32 Block 5, Illinois Addition. The area is located approximately V2 mile from the City's southern limits. 4. The site is currently accessed from Campbell Avenue via unimproved Porter Street, however, the applicant is proposing to establish Eckard Avenue extending from Porter Street west connecting to Mt. Angeles Road, which is a city road in this location, during construction for the subdivision lots. Eckard Avenue was originally platted to access Mt. Angeles Road but has never been opened. Both Porter Street and Eckard Avenue must be improved and rededicated through the subdivision process. 5. Properties west, south, and north of the site are zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family. Property northeast along Campbell Avenue is zoned RHD, Residential High Density wi'th property directly east and southeast zoned RS-9. White's Creek is located in a meandering north to northeast line approximately 1/4 mile east of the adjacent property. 6. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre and is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods c. onsisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. 7. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for development of subdivisions within the City. Conditions may be added to a preliminary subdivision approval that will ensure compliance with the development standards of Chapter 16.08 PAMC. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat at a public hearing along with written recommendations of reviewing departments and agencies with jurisdiction, and shall forward a recommendation to the City Council that will act on the proposal within a period of 90 days following submittal of the preliminary application to the City Department of Community Development. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and 146 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 8 other,planmng features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from ~chool and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that 'these provisions are made. 9. The proposed preliminary plat was reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments, and the Clallam County Road Department. Comments have been included in review of the proposed subdivision and resulting conditions should address any concerns or issues that were raised by reviewers. The site will be served by City water, power, sewer, solid waste, and emergency services - Police and Fire. Porter Street will be improved to the City's low impact development standards which will include an 8' pedestrian walking path due to its identification as a school walking route. Eckard Avenue will also be improved to the City's low impact development standards including a 4' pedestrian walking path and will connect to Mt. Angeles Road which will provide a more direct egress route from the area rather than funneling all traffic to Campbell Avenue. ' 10. Public notice of the subdivision application was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on March 19, 2004, posted on-site March 22, 2004, and published in the Peninsula Daily News on March 24, 2004. No written comments were received as a result of the public notification. . 11. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map .The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B.14 and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policies C.2 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.9 and A. 10, and Goal B. 12. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area. Franklin Elementary School and Peninsula Community College are located in the area. The School District has indicated that at the present time, school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 13. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works and Utilities Departments. 147 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 9 14. Building permits will be required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes will apply to any new construction on the subject property. 15. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 6, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. CONCLUSIONS: A. The conditions of the subdivision are required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance and are necessary to implement the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subdivision or are available in the area. Storm drainage, electrical, and telecommunications improvements are the only street and utility requirements which have not been installed per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines but will be provided by the developer. C. A play area has not been required because the subdivision falls below the 30-lot threshold policy for the requirement of new recreation areas set by the City. D. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal B, and Policies B. 1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B.14 and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D.1 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goals A and B, and Policy A.9, and with the Zoning Code, Section 17.11 PAMC. E. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16..08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. F. As conditioned and proposed, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. G. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and is therefore beneficial to the City's tax base. 148 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page ] 0 " ATTACHMENT "C' COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ZONING ORDINANCE, AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS RELATIVE TO PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISIONS: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals, policies, and objectives of the City as well as the desired urban design.

The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all roads shall conform with the Comprehensive Plan, including the Capital Facilities Plan, and Urban Services Ordinance and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned roads, to topographic conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such roads. 2. Where such is not shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall either provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing major streets in the surrounding area; or shall conform to a plan for the neighborhood, approved by the Commission, to meet a particular situation where topographic or other conditions make continuance or conformance to existing roads impracticable. This shall also apply to cluster subdivisions. 3. Ifa preliminary or suggested plan for an area has been made by the Commission, the street layout of a proposed subdivision in such an area shall be in general conformance to the plan. 4. When a portion of a subdivider's tract is to be subdivided, a street plan for the entire tract shall be submitted to indicate how the street pattern of the plat submitted will coordinate with the entire tract when fully platted. 5. Where a tract is subdivided into lots or tracts of an acre or more in area, the Commission may require an arrangement of lots and streets such as to permit a later resubdivision in conformity with the street and lot requirements specified in these Regulations. 6. Wherever practical, dead-end streets shall be avoided. However, roads designed with a turn-around at one end (cul-de-sac) may be used when conditions warrant their use. 153 New View Preliminary Subdivision May 12, 2004 Page 15 7. Wherever practical, minor streets shall be laid out to discourage through traffic within residential neighborhoods. 8. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed major road, or is adjacent to an existing or planned business, commercial or industrial district, the Commission may require treatment as may be necessary (1) for the adequate protection of residential properties; and (2) to afford separation of through and local traffic. 10. Streets shall' be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. Acute angle intersection shall be avoided. E. LOTS. 1. The lot area, width, depth, shape, and orientation, and the minimum building setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision, for the type of development and land use contemplated, and shall conform with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided. No lot shall have a depth greater than twice its width. 3. Comer lots for. residential use shall have extra width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to both streets. 4. To ensure public health, convenience and safety, the subdividing of land shall provide, by means of a public street, each lot with satisfactory access to an existing public street. 5. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to provide seParation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement across which there shall be no right of access shall be provided along the line of lots abutting such a traffic artery or disadvantageous use. F. PUBLIC SPACES. 2. Where deemed essential by the Commission, upon consideration of the particular type of development proposed in the subdivision, and especially in large-scale neighborhood unit developments not anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan, the Commission may require the dedication or reservation of such areas or sites of a character, extent and location suitable to the needs created by such development for schools, parks and other neighborhood purposes. 3. Due regard shall be shown for the preservation of outstanding natural and cultural features such as scenic spots, water courses, and historic sites, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Wetlands Protection Ordinance, and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance. G. EASEMENTS. 1. Utility easements shall be provided, centered on front, rear, or side lot lines. 2. Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, drainage way, channel, or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such water course, and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose. Parallel roads or parkways may be required in connection therewith. H. STREET LIGHTING. Street lighting installations shall be located in reference to the dimensions of full grown trees and in accordance with the determinations and standards of the City Engineer. I. DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS. Variations from and exceptions to the following standards may be made by the Commission, where topographic or other existing conditions make adherence to these Regulations impractical. L. LOTS. 1. The minimum width, depth, area and setback dimensions of all lots in proposed subdivisions shall conform with City Zoning Regulations. If any dimension in a plat is more restrictive than the said Regulations, then the most restrictive dimension shall apply. M. BUILDING LINE SETBACK. 1. The building line setback from the property lines of all lots shall be indicated by a dashed line on all plats. P. SIGNAGE One (1) free standing sign no larger than twenty-four (24) square feet in area shall be permitted for identification of the subdivision. 154 156 CITY OF' PORT _ANGELES SUBDI qSION APPLICATION Inv.

Signed: Signed: pORTANC; L S WASHINGTON, U.S.A. CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June l, 2004 To: CITY COUNCIL , FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Summary: Development ora 15 acre site in the RHD Residential High Density Zone into 38 residential lots and several common usable open space areas on a 9+ acre site in the first phase and a smaller 5+ acre in the RS-9 Single Family Residential Zone in a subsequent phase linking properties south of the Bonneville Power Administration. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and give preliminary approval of the Obanpic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision preliminary plat with the attached conditions, and citing the attached findings and conclusions. Background / Analysis: The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application includes only the first phase (9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception ora parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 159 CC Memo - Olympic View Estates PRD June 1, 2004 Page 2 The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are s, ubject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear.private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by Northwest Territories, Inc. and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final plat will be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Phase I. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City for support of ULID 215 in the amount of $7,101.36 per connection for 29 lots in addition to the 9 lots originally charged unit connections. The final PRD and plat approval shall provide conditions, covenants, and restrictions that will preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site, in coordination with the proposed one-story, split-level, and two-story model home designs to create a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other fn'st time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another oppommity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 160 CC Memo - Olympic View Estates PRD June 1, 20~4 Page 3 ~,,, Per the procedures in WAC 197-11-355, a Determination of Non-Significance No. 1065 was issued for the proposal on May 7, 2004. The Department of Ecology provided standard comments regarding drainage and erosion controls and requirements for NPDES and State discharge permits. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety.

'The legal description of the subject property in the first phase of the PRD shall be provided. Findings: 1. An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were submitted on March 30, 2004. The Olympic View Estates application was determined to be complete on March 31, 2004.! The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5, 2004, which is the plat of record for City action. 2. The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between 3,900 to 4,500 square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was done to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are pemfissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. 3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. 4. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions. 164 Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions Olympic View Estates PRD Page 3 5. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment ora subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be. served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 6. The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as follows: This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulationS found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safe. ty, and welfare... 7. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. 9. The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (approximately 9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. 10. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by Northwest Territories, Inc., provided in Attachments A and B, and used as the basis of the 165 Conditions. Findings, and Conclusions Olympic View Estates PRD Page 4 preliminary plat review. The final plat will be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Phase I. 12. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. 13. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. 14. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High Density Residential (HDR). The approximately 9.3 acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public Buildings and Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. 15. .The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments. 16. The proposed Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is outside of the Fire Department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the four minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced gtandards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: 1. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and 2. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. 17. Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published on April 13, 2004, and posted on the site and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on April 8, 2004. The Department of Community Development received two public comment letters, which are provided in Attachment D. The letters were from the Bonneville Power Administration and Peninsula Golf Club, Inc. 18. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety. 19. The subject property is identified as High Density Residential (HDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B. 1-B.4, Goal I, Policies I. 1-1.4, Objective I. 1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element 166 Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions Olympic View Estates PRD Page 5 P?hcy D. 1; Housing Element Goal A; Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A. 1-A.3, Goal B~. Policies B.1-B.6, B.8, B.16, Objectives B.3-B.4; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, P rolicies A.2, A.9-A. 11, Goal B, Policies B.6-B.7, Goal C, Policies C.3- C.4.' 20. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9). 21. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). 22. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban design of the City. 23. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and only single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. , 24. The subject property in the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RHD Residential High Density, which allows a density of up to 43 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated May 5, 2004, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 3,500 square feet in size and that the size of most of the 38 lots is between 3,900 and 4,500 square re.et. 25. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This smalI lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 26. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area. 27. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 28. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards. 29. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. 30. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property. 31. Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater than one acre in size. 32. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1065) on May 7, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. 167 Conditions. Findh~gs, and Conclusions Olympic View Estates PRD Page 6 Conclusions: A. The conditions of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and loTM impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacityhas been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the 'subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area similar to the new play structure at Crown Park. F. The small lots proposed for the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are desired for several reasons: 1) the geographical and BPA easement constraints on the site, 2) recovering City costs for ULID 215, 3) the mixed types of housing already located in the zone and vicinity, 4) the provision of affordable homes for new families and other first time home buyers, and 5) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. G. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RHD Zone exists nearby. While it does not meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone. H. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi- family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. I. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. J. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public 168 Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions Olympic Fie}*, Estates PRD Page 7 Ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, pi. aygrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City for support ofULID 215 in the amount of $7,101.36 per connection for 29 lots in addition to the 9 lots originally charged unit connections. M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf Course. The drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit. ' ~ N. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that the residential uses will be compatible. O. The site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17, are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the, EMF environmental impacts have not been analyzed in this review. The site design' minimizes the interaction of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes. BPA representatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. P. The Olympic View Estates proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements ofPAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. Q. The PAMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. R. The private street system, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of-way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de-sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead-end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street. 169 Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions Olympic View Estates PRD Page 8 Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of June 1,2004. Richard Headrick, Mayor Becky J. Upton, City Clerk 170 PRELIMINARY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - OLYMPIC VIEW ESTATES - Lindberg Road/Golf Course Road: Proposal for an 38 - Unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Commissioners Norton and Hewins noted that they are both members of the Peninsula Golf Club that submitted a letter regarding the proposal but felt that they could individually act without prejudice in the matter before the Commission. Community Development Director Brad Collins reviewed the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Director Collins responded to questions regarding road improvements within the development, Lindberg Road, and Golf Course Road. No improvements to either Lindberg or Golf Course are required with the development, however, the second phase of development that involves Golf Course Road south of the Golf Course Rd/Lindberg Rd intersection will need to be improved at the time of that future phase of development. Gary Schoessler, 536 Marine Drive, Port Angeles, WA stated that he had read the staff report and had no issues with the proposed conditions of approval. Mr. Schoessler respond6d to Commissioner Nutter by identifying the area on an overhead where a play area would be developed much like the play area in the Milwaukee Heights subdivision located in the west portion of the City. Participating in discussion with Commissioners regarding improvements to Golf Course Road, Mr. Schoessler responded that given the amount of improvements required to develop the, proposed site, adding improvement to Golf Course Road at this stage of development would severely affect feasibility of the project. Bob Leach, Northwestern Territories, Inc., 717 South Peabody, Port Angeles, WA has worked with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) on issues relating to use of the area underneath the powerlines and within the BPA easement, and believes that agreement has or can be reached on the use of the area for additional parking and stormwater detention. He explained the drainage plans and storm detention proposal and noted that the roadway will be developed with an inverted crown design to avoid using too many culverts. In response to Commissioner Rasmussen, Mr. Leach identified common areas that would be available within the subdivision and stated that management of the open space areas would be the responsibility of a homeowner's association. Mr. Schoessler presented photographs of proposed structural development within the subdivision. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nutter expressed concern regarding the width of Golf Course Road as the roadway narrows significantly from that point south. Jim Mahlum, Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, noted that infrastructure improvements required of the applicant for the development will significantly improve what currently exists in the area and noted that Golf Course Road south of the area does not abut the subject property and would not be a route that would be used by those leaving or entering the subdivision. Following further discussion over the width and speed at which traffic travels on Golf Course Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the planned residential development citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: 171 Planning Commission Minutes May 12. 2004 Page 2 CONDITIONS: 1. The final plat shall show the building front lot lines drawn where the lots equal or exceed 50 feet in width; Lots 7 and 16 may need reconfiguration.

The fire sprinkler system as required by the Fire Department shall be a condition of any new residential building permit. Wording shall be placed on the final plat and recorded with the County Auditor upon filing of the final subdivision indicating that all residences shall be fitted with residential sprinkler systems prior to occupancy. 15. ULID 215 Assessments and sewer connection charges shall apply to this project (dhte of formation of ULID 215 connection charge was in November 1999). 16. Proposed 8" water line shall be provided per as shown, with Fire Hydrant installation at NE Corner of Lindberg Rd. and in the middle of the internal roadway per City Urban Standards. 17. Proposed 8" sanitary sewer shall be provided as shown per City Urban Standards, and line size and detention calculations for proposed storm drain shall be required. 18. Utility easements are appropriately identified on the preliminary plat map as well as an access easement to properties located to the south of the subject site, and the easements shall be legally described for the final approval of the PRD and Subdivision. 19. Proposed roadway construction, internal roadway inverted crown for drainage, Lindberg Road construction shall be to 20 foot paved width. Golf Course Road construction shall be to 24 foot paved width. Roadway construction shall be per City Urban Standards with ditches and walkways. 20. Street trees shall be provided on the frontages of Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per City approval. 21. The legal description of the subject property in the first phase of the PRD shall be provided. 173 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 4 Findings: 1. An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were submitted on March 30; 2004. The Olympic View Estates application was determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5, 2004, which is the plat of record for City action. 2. The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between . 3,900 to 4,500 square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was done to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. 3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. 4. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions. 5. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 174 Planning C'~mmission Minutes May 12, 200~ Page 5 6. The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as follows: This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design.flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those .regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare... 7. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall , either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. ' 8. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. 9. The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (approximately 9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. 10. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by Northwest Territories, Inc., provided in Attachments A and B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final plat will be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Phase I. 175 Plamffng Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 6 12. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. 13. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. 14. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High Density Residential (HDR). The approximately 9.3 acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public ' Buildings and Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. 15. The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments. 16. The proposed Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is outside of the Fire Department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the four minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: 1. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and 2. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. 17. Public notice of the PRE) and subdivision application was published on April 13, 2004, and posted on the site and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on April 8, 2004. The Department of Community Development received two public comment letters, which are provided in Attachment D. The letters were from the Bonneville Power Administration and Peninsula Golf Club, Inc. 176 Planaing COmmission Minutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 7 18. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety. 19. The subject property is identified as High Density Residential (HDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B. 1 -B.4, Goal I, Policies I. 1-I.4, Objective I. 1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D. 1; Housing Element Goal A; Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A. 1-A.3, Goal B, Policies B. 1-B.6, B.8, B. 16, Objectives B.3-B.4; Capital ' Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.2, A.9-A.11, Goal B, Policies B.6-B.?, Goal C, Policies C.3- C.4. 20. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9). ~ 21. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). 22. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. 23. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban design of the City. 24. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and only single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. 25. The subject property in the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RHD Residential High Density, which allows a density of up to 43 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated May 5, 2004, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 3,500 square feet in size and that the size of most of the 38 lots is between 3,900 and 4,500 square feet. 177 PlannhTg Commission Minutes May 12. 2004 Page 8 26. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 27. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area. 28. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 29. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated . walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards.The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. 30. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property. 31. Cleating and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater than one acre in size. 32. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1065) on May 7, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. 178 Commt$$ton Minutes Planning ~ ' ' May 12, 200{ Page 9 D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision prelimi.nary plat should be designed as a children's Play area similar to the new play structure at Crown Park. . F. The small lots proposed for the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are desired for several reasons: 1) the geographical and BPA easement constraints on the site, 2) recovering City costs for ULID 215, 3) the mixed types of housing already located in the zone and vicinity, 4) the provision of affordable homes for new families and other first time home buyers, and 5) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. G. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RHD Zone exists nearby. While it does not meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone. H. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. I. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. J. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other 179 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 10 public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City in support of ULID 215. M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stonnwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf . Course. The drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit. N. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that the residential uses will be compatible. O. The site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17, are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the EMF environmental impacts have not been analyzed in this review. The site design minimizes the interaction of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes. BPA representatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. P. The Olympic View Estates proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements of PAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. Q. The PAMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. 180 Planning Commission Minutes May 12. 2004, Page 11 R. The private street system, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of~way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de-sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead-end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6 - I with Commissioner Nutter abstaining. Commissioner Nutter stated that her reason for abstention was that she believed Golf Course Road should be widened from the required width due to the transition from 40' to 24' north of the site. , 181 182 pORTANGELES WASHINGTON, U.S.A. DepartmeNT of CommuniTy DevelopMenT STaff Report TO: Planning Commission FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director DATE: May 12, 2004 SUBJECT: Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Preliminary Plat Phase I ' RE: Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Preliminary Plat Phase I - Olympic View Estates ' APPLICANT: Gary Schoessler OWNER: Same LOCATION: Lindberg Road east of Golf Course Road PROPOSAL: Development of a 15 acre site in the RHD Residential High Density Zone into 38 residential lots and several common usable open space areas on a 9+ acre site in the first phase and a smaller 5+ acre in the RS-9 Single Family Residential Zone in a subsequent phase linking properties south of the Bonneville Power Administration. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. The Department of Community Development recommends that the Planning Commission recommend preliminary approval of the Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision preliminary plat with the 21 conditions, 33 findings, and 18 conclusions (see Attachment A). 183 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 2 PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: The proposed 15 acre Ol),npic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. Portions of the site and building lots have mature trees, but the northern portion of the site has been largely cleared. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road,. which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High Density Residential (HDR). The 9+ acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public Buildings and Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW: The Fire Department commented that: 1. Fire hydrants will need to be placed per the project narrative included. The three hydrants would be located at: the intersection of Golf Course and Lindberg, at the northeast comer on Lindberg Road and the last midway between the entrances on the internal road. 2. 20' of clear width is required for fire department access. If the on-site roadway is 25' wide as planned, both sides of the road will need to have "NO PARKING" signs installed. 3. This subdivision is outside of the fire department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the four minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection 184 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 20O4 Page 3 " Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: a. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and b. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. The Public Works Department commented that: 1. ULID 215 Assessments and sewer connection charges will apply to this project (date of formation of ULID 215 connection charge was in November 1999). 2. Proposed 8" water line as shown, with Fire Hydrant installation at NE Comer of Lindberg Rd. and in the middle of the internal roadway. All per Urban Standards. 3. Proposed 8" sanitary sewer as shown. Line size and detention calculations for proposed storm drain will be required. All per Urban Standards. 4. Proposed roadway construction, internal roadway inverted crown for drainage, Lindberg Road construction to be 20' paved width. Golf Course Road construction to be 24' paved width. Roadway construction per Urban Standards with ditches and walkways. 5. The project engineer has been requested to address any concerns that the proposed 38 unit complex may affect the downstream sanitary sewer capacity. The Parks & Recreation Department did not comment. The Building Division did not comment. PUBLIC COMMENT: As a result of the published notice, posting, and required mailing to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision, the City received two letters (see Attachment D). Since the proposed drainage plan incorporates Peninsula Golf Course property into a detention/retention pond, the City is uncertain about the Golf Course's comments. Regardless of the final drainage plan, which must be approved by the City Engineer, the City's stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf Course. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that the residential uses will be compatible. 185 Olympic View PRD staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Per the procedures in WAC 197-11-355, a Determination of Non-Significance No. 1065 was issued for the proposal on May 7, 2004. The Department of Ecology provided standard comments regarding drainage and erosion Controls and requirements for NPDES and State discharge permits. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety.~ DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS: An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were submitted on March 30, 2004. The appli, cation was determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5, 2004, which is the plat of record for Cily action. The preliminary plat would sUbdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between 3,900 to 4,500 square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was done to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. In addition to the 38 residential building lots, which comprised approximately 3.6 acres, the preliminary plat has two common usable open space areas (1.2 acres), one parking lot area (.3 acre), one detention pond (. 1 acre), one separate walkway (.02 acre), 1.1 acres in private streets and driveways, and the BPA transmission line easement (2.8 acres not included in the common usable open space areas). The planned residential development requires that 30% of the site, or 2.8 acres, to be common usable open space. Half(or 15% of the overall PRD site, or 1.4 acres)must be for recreational purposes and maintained in common ownership, usually through a homeowners association. The proposal does not make clear how common ownership of the open space, the parking lot, the detention pond, the walkways, and private streets will managed and maintained. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the subdivision will have 38 new home sites to be marketed as starter homes for families, one or more of the common usable open space areas shown on the preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area. The preliminary plat should be conditioned to provide a children's play area 186 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 5 similar to the public play structure at Crown Park or the private play area at the Milwaukee Heights Subdivision. Maintenance of the play area should be provided for either in a homeowners association agreement or by dedication to the City with approval of the Parks & Recreation Department. The City's Subdivision Ordinance and Urban Services Standards and Guidelines require the development of sidewalks along arterials but not on local access streets. The developer proposes street improvements per the City's low impact development standards, which will require a walkway along the south side of Lindberg Road (local access street) and preferably along the west side of Golf Course Road (arterial street) to Melody Lane. Additional rights-of-way may need to be acquired to meet City standards in the second phase of the PRD. Since the remaining trees on the subject site are not related to the streets in the application and may be lost to home construction, street trees should be provided on the frontages of Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per City approval. The internal streets are planned as private streets with 40 or 50 foot easements and 25 foot paved widths, with an inverted crown for drainage down the center of the streets and no , walkways. Although there are no school walking routes in the area, walkways will be required on Lindberg and Golf Course Roads. Utility easements are shown on the preliminary plat. The question of off-site sanitary sewer capacity has been addressed by the project engineer. Drainage plans have not been presented but will require detention and retention per City Urban Standards and per State requirements for sites 5 acres or greater. , COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. It is the basis upon which City officials are to make land use decisions. Any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Map Designation The Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identifies the norther portion of the site as High Density Residential (HDR) and the southern portion of the site as Low Density Residential (LDR). Although High Density Residential allows an overall residential density much higher than proposed, the site is proposed for the development of small lot, single family homes. The site development proposal results in an overall site development of approximately 4.1 units per acre, which is at a low density rather than high density urban design. The average lot size of the 38 lots in the northern portion of the planned residential development is approximately 4,200 square feet per lot, with a range in size from 3,526 to 5,568 square foot lots. As a general rule in the Port Angeles Zoning Code, single family dwelling units are required to have at least a 3,500 square foot minimum lot size. The subject site is not located in an area with a grid street system and may be developed with cul-de-sacs and curvilinear streets to achieve the desired urban design of the City. Goals, Policies, and Objectives The following goals, policies and objectives have been identified as being the most relevant to the proposed subdivision: 187 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 6 LAND USE ELEMENT Residential 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 opportunities of the future. Policy A.2: All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its appointed Commissions, Boards or Committees shouM be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its land use map. Goal B: To have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. Policy B.2: Single family lots should be of reasonable shape and should have access provided by an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial. Policy B.3: All residential developments should be designed with the provisions of fire protection and service vehicle access as key factors in the street design and circulation pattern. For efficient circulation, rights-of-way should be obtained and improvements made to further the grid street pattern of the City. Cul-de-sacs may be permitted when designed as an integral part of the major grid street pattern of the City. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where them is no grid street Pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. Policy B.I: Urban services shall be available for all residential areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. Open Space Goal I: To create open space relief within the urban landscape, to retain natural landscapes, to preserve fish and wildlife habitat, and to provide natural corridors which connect wildlife habitats. owners. Objective I.l: The City will develop a program of land banking, transfer of development rights, or other innovative techniques wh]c~reserve open spaces. Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 7 A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies. The Olympic View Estates proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements of PAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of active recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the Bonneville'Power Administration (BPA) transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. An open space area and recreational facilities plan must be submitted for final approval. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Goal A: To develop a coordinated, multi-modal transportation system which serves all areas, of the city and all types of users in a safe, economical, and efficient manner. Policy A.3: The collector arterial streets and local access streets should serve primarily local traffic with special emphasis on safety for pedestrian traffic. Policy A.6: Planning for transportation services and facilities (including public streOts, bikeways, pedestrian walkways, and public and private air, marine and land transit services and facilities) shall be performed consistent with the goals and policies of the Capital Facilities Element. The proposed low impact development street improvements provide for local traffic with special emphasis on pedestrian walkway facilities along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads. No provisions for pedestrian facilities are planned for the interior streets and lot access. UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT Policy D.I: Urban services should be designed for the maximum planned density and/or land use intensity of a given area as designated on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Utilities installation through Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215 already conform to City standards and the final plat requirements for subdivisions. Although the subject property is shown as HDR High Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and RHD Residential High Density on the Zoning Map, the desired urban design of the City is better reflected in the planned residential development and subdivision of the subject property into 38 small single family residential lots greater than 3,500 square feet in size, since this is an outlying area of the City with only low impact development standard streets proposed. The surrounding properties, except to the northwest, are either undeveloped or developed for low density single family residential uses and open spaces, including the Peninsula Golf Course. 189 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 8 HOUSING ELEMENT Goal A: To improve the variety, quality, availability, and affordability of housing opportunities in the City of Port Angeles. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. CONSERVATION ELEMENT Goal A: To create and maintain a community with a high quality of life where the land is used in a manner that is compatible with the area's unique physical features, its natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment. Policy A.I: The City should require all development, including the location and design of all structures and open space areas, to be compatible with the unique physical features and natural amenities of the land and complement the environment in which it is placed, while recognizing the rights of private ownership. Policy A.2: The City should promote compatibility between the land and its use by regulating the intensity of the land use. Policy A.3: The City should adopt development criteria which promote the use of innovative design techniques to provide for the use of the land in a manner compatible with any unique physical features or valuable natural, historical, and/or cultural amenities. Goal B: To protect and enhance the area's unique physical features, its natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment. Policy B.1: The City should further public interest by protecting and enhancing the area's unique physical features, valuable natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment, while recognizing the rights of private ownership. Policy B.2: The City should maintain and preserve its unique physical features and natural amenities, such as creeks, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, ravines, bluffs, shorelines, and fish and wildlife habitats. Policy B.3: The City should protect and enhance the characteristics of its unique residential neighborhoods. 190 O]yrapic View PRD Staff Repor~ May 12, 2004 Page 9 Policy B.4: Building density should decrease as natural constraints increase.. Policy B.16: The City should designate open space areas to preserve major or unique physical features and/or serve as natural greenbelts and wildlife corridors. Objective B.3: The City will identify and implement site specific requirements for individual development proposals to mitigate any negative impacts created by the devel, opment, particularly to an area identified as an environmentally sensitive area. Objective B.4: The City will adopt and enforce regulations which require all new development to provide adequate stormwater retention/detention facilities necessary to protect water quality. The site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17, are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the EMF environmental impacts . have not been analyzed in this review. The site design minimizes the interaction of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes. BPA representatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT Policy A.10: The City should require the following utilities and services at the time of development: solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response). Policy B.6: The City should not approve any development that increases a site's post- development stormwater run-off beyond that allowed by the Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin as adopted by the City. Stormwater drainage improvements must meet the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and are subject to the Department of Ecology's NPDES permit requirements. Concerns raised by the Peninsula Golf Course representative can be addressed in the required drainage plans as conditioned and subject to the approval of the City Engineer as well as Ecology. Policy C.4: The City should not approve any development that will not be served at or less than the following level of service standards at the time of development: Police: 677 persons per one officer. Fire: 4 minute response time or residential sprinkler system installation. The Fire Department's comments regarding residential sprinkler system have been included in the conditions of preliminary approval of the PRD and subdivision plat. 191 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 10 ZONING CODE: The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the site as RHD Residential High Density. The purpose and intent of the RHD Zone is. as follows: This is a high density residential zone for multi-family residential structures. Compatible uses may be allowed on Conditional Use Permits, but the zone is still regarded as a residential area, and commercial enterprises are not generally felt to be compatible... This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods (at seven times the density of the City's basic single family residential neighborhoods), following a standard rectangular street grid system of 60-foot rights-of-way for local access streets and 300-foot by 500-foot blocks and usually located in areas that are largely developed and closer to the center of the City. The minimum lot area is 7,000 square feet. Density shall not exceed 2 dwelling units for the first 7,000 square feet of lot area ... (maximum of 38.56 units/acre). All lots shall comply with the minimum area and dimensional requirements as follows: Front: 25feet Rear: 25feet, except I O feet for detached accessory buildings in the rear one-third of the lot Side: 7feet, except 3feet for detached accessory buildings in the rear, and, 'on corner lots, the side yard abutting a street shall have a setback of 13feet from access streets and 18feet from arterial streets Max. Lot Coverage: 30% Maximum Height: 35feet The proposed subdivision appears to conform with RHD zoning requirements regarding density, given the allowances in a PRD to waive the minimum lot size and that all of the lots exceed a minimum of 3,500 square feet. However, other requirements do not appear to be met in some or many instances, particularly regarding setbacks. Since it is designed as a small lot, single family subdivision in a Residential High Density Zone, the City has discretion to determine if the purposes in the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances are met per PAMC Sections 17.19.040 and 17.19.050. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like that for outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RHD Zone exists nearby. While it does not meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone. 192 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 11 , The purpose and intent of the PRD Planned Residential Development Overlay .ZoneRHD Zone is as follows: This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare... See the response to the RHD Zone above. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and bnly single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. The PRD must comply with the following land use regulations and standards: 17.19. 040 Permitted Modifications of Land Use Regulations. The approval of a Planned Residential Development may include modifications in the requirements and standards of the underlying land use regulations of the zone in which the project is located, subject to the limitations of this Chapter, except that no approval shall include a modification, variance or waiver of the setback areas required by the underlying zones along the exterior property lines of the PRD or of the requirements of the Shoreline Master Program except as provided in Chapter 173-14 WAC. For the purpose of this section, minimum setbacks along exterior property lines shall be based on the final lot configuration after subdivision of the property. 17.19. 050 Standards. The following standards shall apply to all Planned Residential Developments: A. All street and utility improvements shall be constructed to standards specified by the City of Port Angeles. Street widths may vary from widths required in the Subdivision Regulations, and interior circulation streets may be either public or private. B. All Planned Residential Developments shall devote at least 30% of the gross area of the site to common usable open space, half of which must be used for recreational purposes and none of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the exterior property lines of the PRD. Street rights-of-way, driveways, parking lots and utility structures shall not be counted as part of the common usable open space. Common usable open space shall be maintained as an integral part of the site and may not be segregated as a separate parcel or parcels unless such parcels are to be owned by a homeowners association. Community recreation facilities and recreation structures shall be included in calculating the area devoted to common usable open space. C. All Planned Residential Developments shall provide for continuous and perpetual maintenance of common open space, common recreation facilities, private roads, utilities, parking areas and other similar development within the boundaries of the PRD inform and manner acceptable to the City. 193 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 12 D. Platting shall be required of aIl projects which involve or contemplate the subdivision of land Lots in a platted Planned Residential Development may be sold to separate owners according to the separate lots as shown in the recorded plat which is approved in connection therewith. Development of all lots within the platted Planned Residential Development shall be as shown in the approved PRD. No further subdivision of land within the Planned Residential Development will be permitted unless a formal amendment to the PRD is approved. E. Conditional Use Permits shall be required of all projects which involve or contemplate conditional uses which may be allowed in the underlying zone(s). No further conditional use permits, except home occupations, will be permitted within the Planned Residential Development unless a formal amendment to the PRD is approved F. For any underlying land use regulatory process that is consolidated through the PRD overlay process, the criteria and development standards of that underlying land use regulatory process shall be met. Any subsequent land use decision made pursuant to an underlying land use regulatory process shall also require a formal amendment to the PRD. G. To encourage design flexibility, conservation of natural amenities, and innovations which result in a higher quality residential environment than traditional subdivisions, site planning and architectural review which address the following criteria are required of all development in the PRD. Where applicable, the design of PRDs shall accomplish the following to the greatest extent possible: l. Preserve unique physical features of the site including, but not limited to, creeks, wetlands, ravines, bluffs, lakes or ponds, shorelines, and forest areas. 2. Preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site. 3. Provide recreation facilities including, but not limited to, bicycle or pedestrian paths, children's play areas and playfields. 4. The design of all open space areas and building structures shall be compatible with and complementary to the environment in which they are placed H. All Planned Residential Developments shall comply with the goals and policies of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE: The City's Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code, has been reviewed with respect to the proposal. Although the entire ordinance has not been cited, the following development standards and policies have been found to be applicable: 16. 08. 060 - Standards and Policies. A. GENERAL STANDARDS. Ifa proposed street and/or lot pattern for any zone in Port Angeles has been made by the Council or the Commission, the street layout of any new plat 194 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 13 submitted shall be in general conformance to said pattern or plan. Otherwise proposed streets in new subdivisions shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan and Urban Services Ordinance as adopted No plan for the platting, replatting, subdivision, or dedication of any area shall be recommended for approval by the Commission unless streets shown therein are connected by surfaced road lo an existing improved public right-of-way adequate to serve the existing and new lots. Where the Comprehensive Plan or the City's official street plan indicates the' necessity ora new right-of-way ora required width or portion thereof for street purposes, whether within a new plat or new subdivision, or along the boundaries ora new plat, new subdivision or new lot, such required right-of-way or portion thereof shall be dedicated to the City of Port Angeles by the filing ofa plat. The Planning Commission may require plats to provide areas for parks, playgrounds, open spaces, recreation facilities, schools, school grounds, safe walking conditions on school route/;, transit stops, and drainage ways. Each proposed subdivision and the ultimate use of the land therein shall be in the interests . of public health, safety and welfare, and subdividers shall be prepared to present evidence to this effect when requested by the Commission. Restrictive covenants not contrary to existing regulations regarding the use of land, governing and binding all future owners of lots or tracts, may be shown on any plat. . ' No final plat of land within the force and effect of existing Zoning Regulations shall be approved unless it is conforming with such Regulations. Whenever there is a discrepancy between minimum standards or dimensions noted herein and those contained in Zoning Regulations, Building Codes, or other official Regulations, the highest standard shall apply. B. GENERAL PRINCIPLES, POLICIES. The Commission shall ensure that appropriate provision is made for: (1) the harmonious development of neighborhoods by requiring coordination of streets within subdivisions with existing or planned streets, or with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan; (2) adequate open spaces for recreation, schools, light and air; (3) distribution of population and traffic which will create conditions favorable to public health, safety and convenience. Nothing included in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat appears at odds with the above general standards, principles, and policies of Section 16.08.060(A) and (B) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Additional facilities, which are not included, should be required per the recommended conditions for adequate open spaces and recreation facilities and for revised building setbacks per either the RS-7 or RHD Zone. C. STREETS AND ROADS. 1. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all roads shall conform with the Comprehensive Plan, including the Capital Facilities Plan, and Urban Services Ordinance and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned roads, to topographic conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such roads. 195 Olympic View PRD SlaffReport May 12, 2004 Page 14 2. Where Such is not shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall either provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing major streets in the surrounding area; or shall conform to a plan for the neighborhood, approved by the Commission, to meet a particular situation where topographic or other conditions make continuance or conformance to existing roads impracticable. This shall also apply to cluster subdivisions. 3. Ifa preliminary or suggested plan for an area has been made by the Commission, the street layout of a proposed subdivision in such an area shall be in general conformance to the plan. 4. When a portion of a subdivider's tract is to be subdivided, a street plan for the entire tract shall be submitted to indicate how the street pattern of the plat submitted will coordinate with the entire tract when fully platted 5. Where a tract is subdivided into lots or tracts of an acre or more in area, the Commission may require an arrangement of lots and streets such as to permit a later resubdivision in conformity with the street and lot requirements specified in these Regulations. 6. Wherever practical, dead-end streets shall be avoided However, roads designed.with a turn-around at one end (cul-de-sac) may be used when conditions warrant their use. 7. Wherever practical, minor streets shall be laid out to discourage through traffic within residential neighborhoods. 8. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed major road, or is adjacent to an existing or planned business, commercial or industrial district, the Commission may require treatment as may be necessary (1)for the adequate protection of residential properties; and (2) to afford separation of through and local traffic. ] O. Slreets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. Acute angle intersection shall be avoided. The public street improvements for Lindberg and Golf Course Roads are planned and conditioned to meet City low impact development standards. The private street improvements should also meet City low impact development standards at a minimum, except where an alternate designs for drainage and pedestrian facilities are approved by the City Engineer per the recommended conditions. The private street system, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of-way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de- sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead- end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street. E. LOTS. l. The lot area, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision, for the type of development and land use contemplated, and shall conform with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided No lot shall have a 196 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 15 'i depth grea~er than twice its width. 3. Corner lots for residential use shall have extra width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to both streets. 4. To ensure public health, convenience and safety, the subdividing of land shall provide, by means of a public street, each lot with satisfactory access to an existing public street. 5. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement across which there shall be no right of access shall be provided along the line of lots abutting such a traffic artery or disadvantageous use. The lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. Lot 17 has a west property line depth less than the width of the lot but borders on the open space recreational area. , F. PUBLIC SPACES. , 2. Where deemed essential by the Commission, upon consideration of the particular type of development proposed in the subdivision, and especially in large-scale neighborhood unit developments not anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan, the Commission may require the dedication or reservation of such areas or sites of a character, extent and. locatio~ suitable to the needs created by such development for schools, parks and other neighborhood purposes. 3. Due regard shall be shown for the preservation of outstanding natural and cultural features such as scenic spots, water courses, and historic sites, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Wetlands Protection Ordinance, and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance. Preliminary approval of the PRD and Subdivision are conditioned to provide for parks and other recreational areas. The School District does not have need for land for school development. G. EASEMENTS. 1. Utility easements shall be provided centered on front, rear, or side lot lines. 2. Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, drainage way, channel, or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such water course, and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose. Parallel roads or parkways may be required in connection therewith. Utility easements are appropriately identified on the preliminary plat map as well as an access easement to properties located to the south of the subject site. Such easements are conditioned to be described in the final approval of the PRD and Subdivision. 197 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 16 H. STREET LIGHTING. Street lighting installations shall be located in reference to the dimensions of full grown trees and in accordance with the determinations and standards of the City Engineer. Street lighting may be required per the City's Urban Standards. I. DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS. Variations from and exceptions to the following standards may be made by the Commission, where ,topographic or other existing conditions make adherence to these Regulations impractical. L. LOTS. 1. The minimum width, depth, area and setback dimensions of all lots in proposed subdivisions shall conform with City Zoning Regulations. If any dimension in a plat is more restrictive than the said Regulation& then the most restrictive dimension shall apply. M. BUILDING LINE SETBACK. 1. The building line setback from the property lines of all lots shall be indicated by a dashed line on all plats. P. SIGNAGE One (1)free standing sign no larger than twenty-four (24) square feet in area shall be permitted for identification of the subdivision. The Planned Residential Development allows for variations from standards as well. In this case, street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks are proposed, and conditions are recommended where such variations Should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision will conform to the preliminary plat subdivision requirements of PAMC Chapter 16.08 and RCW 58.17 as noted above. 198 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 17 ~ ATTACHMENT A The Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision are recommended for preliminary approval subject to the following conditions and citing the following findings and conclusions: Conditions: 1. The final plat shall show the building front lot lines drawn where the lots eqt~al or exceed 50 feet in width; Lots 7 and 16 may need reconfiguration.

The legal description of the subject property in the first phase of the PRD shall be provided. Findings: 1. An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were submitted on March 30, 2004. The Olympic View Estates application was determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5, 2004, which is the plat of record for City action. 2. The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between 3,900 to 4,500 square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was done to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. 3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. 200 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 19 4. Po~t Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions. 5. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walkingconditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make wriUen findings that these provisions are made. , 6. The purpose ofa plmmed residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as follows: This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare... 7. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. 9. The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (approximately 9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. 201 Olympic View PRD Staff Report Mn3' 12, 2004 Page 20 10. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by Northwest Territories, Inc., provided in Attachments A and B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final plat will be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Phase I. 12. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. 13. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capacity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. 14. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High Density Residential (HDR). The approximately 9.3 acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public Buildings and Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. 15. The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments. 16. The proposed Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is outside of the Fire Department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the four minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: 1. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and 2. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. 17. Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published on April 13, 2004, and posted on the site and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on April 8, 2004. The Department of Community Development received two public comment letters, which are provided in Attachment D. The letters were from the Bonneville Power Administration and Peninsula Golf Club, Inc. 202 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 21 , 18. The electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety. 19. The subject property is identified as High Density Residential (HDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B. 1-B.4, Goal I, Policies I. 1-I..4, Objective I. 1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D. 1; Housing Element Goal A; Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A. 1-A.3, Goal B, Policies B. 1-B.6, B.8, B. 16, Objectives B.3-B.4; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.2, A.9-A.11, Goal B, Policies B.6-B.7, Goal C, Policies C.3- C.4. 20. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9). 21. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). 22. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. 23. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban design of the City. 24. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and only single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. 25. The subject property in the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RHD Residential High Density, which allows a density of up to 43 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated May 5, 2004, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 3,500 square feet in size and that the size of most of the 38 lots is between 3,900 and 4,500 square feet. 26. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 27. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area. 28. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 29. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards. 203 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 22 30. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. 31. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property. 32. Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater than one acre in size. 33. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1065) on May 7, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot. D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area similar to the new play structure at Crown Park. F. The small lots proposed for the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are desired for several reasons: 1) the geographical and BPA easement constraints on the site, 2) recovering City costs for ULID 215, 3) the mixed types of housing already located in the zone and vicinity, 4) the provision of affordable homes for new families and other first time home buyers, and 5) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. G. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RHD Zone exists nearby. While it does not meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone. H. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi- family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new 204 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 23 families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. I. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. J. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health,' safely and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's . Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City in support of ULID 215. M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstrear~ properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf Course. The drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit. N. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that the residential uses will be compatible. O. The site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17, are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the EMF environmental impacts have not been analyzed in this review. The site design minimizes the interaction of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes. BPA representatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. P. The Olympic View Estates proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements of PAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. Q. The PAMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. 205 Olympic View PRD Staff Report May 12, 2004 Page 24 R. The private street system, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of-way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de-sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead-end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June 1, 2004 TO: CiTY COUNCIL FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER SUBJECT: REZONE OF PROPERTY - OLYMPIC MEDICAL CENTER NW' CORNER OF CAROLINE AND RACE STREETS ISummary.: Request for rezone of approximately 7,000 square feet of property from RS-7 Residential Single Family, to CO Commercial Office. Recommendations: Due to the number of items on the June I, 2004, agenda, and because the public hearing for this item was originally scheduled for June 1, 2004, staff recommends that the the City Council open the scheduled public hearing and continue discussion to the June 8, 2004 meeting. Staff has contacted those who submitted comment during the public comment period and the applicant and informed them of this recommendation to the Council so it is not anticipated that anyone who wishes to speak will be surprised by the recommendation. Background / Analysis: An application for rezone of approximately 7,000 square feet of property was proposed for rezone from Residential Sihgle Family to Commercial Office by the Olympic Medical Center on March 11, 2004. The property is owned by Mrs. Virginia Fitzpatrick and is being purchased by the Olympic Medical Center for an expansion of the Center's medical campus. State law allows for only one public hearing in the case of site specific rezone requests. Following a public meeting conducted by the Planning Commission on May 12, 2004, the Planning Commission recommended that the lot be rezoned to commercial. Two neighbors in the area submitted letters of concern regarding the rezone proposal, and, as those citizens were not able to speak during the public meeting before the Planning Commission, it is expected that they will wish to address the Council during the public hearing. The proposed ordinance, staff's report, and an excerpt of the Planning Commission's minutes are included for your review.

Smith Subdivision to Port Angeles from RS-7 Residential Single Family to CO Commercial Office on March 1, 2004. 2. The Comprehensive Plan'designates the site as Commercial. A narrow band of Low Density Residential property is located directly west of the subject site that is developed with a narrow band of existing marine bluff residential uses consisting of mainly older homes. Comprehensive Plan policies that have been identified as being most relevant to the proposal include Land Use Plan Goal A and Policy A.2; Commercial Goals and Policies Goal D, and Policy D.2; and Capital Facilities Element Goals A and D. 3. Properties to the east are developed as the Olympic Medical Center and a variety of medical office uses. Properties south of the site and north of the Caroline/Georgiana alley are developed with a mix of commercial office uses clustered around the Race Street corridor extending mainly east but also west in this area to Francis Street. All properties along and particularly east of Race Street are zoned Commercial Office north of Georgiana Street in the area with properties west and southwest of the site being zoned RS-7, Residential Single Family. I 4. The subject site is flat and is vacant with two smaller, older single-family residences north of the site along the Marine bluff, west of the north end of Race Street in this location. 5. Race Street is designated as an arterial street and serves as the main traffic corridor to the Olympic Medical Center. Race Street dead ends at the location with the site being located on the opposite comer of the street directly across from the entrance to the Medical Center's emergency room, ambulance parking area, and main administration office. 6. The SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 7, 2004, which satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). 7. Public notification was provided by mailing to neighboring property owners on March 30, 2004, posting of the property on April 2, 2004, and publication of the proposal in the Peninsula Daily News on April 4, 2004. Two letters in opposition to the proposal were received from Carl Haarstad and Michelle Surette who objected to the continued expansion of commercial zoning in the area. 227 8. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in consideration of the rezone p[oposal on May 12, 2004, and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council. 9. The City Council conducted a public hearing in consideration of the rezone proposal on June 1, 2004. Conclusions: A. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and policies, specifically Land Use Plan Goal A and Policy A.2; Commercial Goals and Policies Goal D, and Policy D.2; and Capital Facilities Element Policy D. B. The rezone would allow a low intensive commercial activity to be located on the subject site that would provide a buffer between existing residential uses and the main Race Street arterial corridor and access to the Olympic Medical Center. C. Expansion of the Olympic Medical Center and its services to the community h. ave caused the need for expansion of the Center's facilities. D. The rezone is in the public use and interest and is compatible with the surrounding zoning and land uses. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of June 1, 2004. Richard Headrick, Mayor Becky J. Upton, City Clerk T:\FORM S\F&Colymed.wpd 228 ORTANGELE S WASHINGTON, U.S.A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Con-m~ission FROM: Sue Roberds, Assistant Planner DATE: 'May 12, 2004 RE: REZ 04-01 APPLICANT: Olympic Medical Center OWNER: Olympic Medical Center LOCATION: Lot 17, Block 32, Norman R. Smith Subdivision to the Townsite of Port Angeles NW Comer of Race and Caroline Streets REQUEST: A rezone of approximately 7,000 square feet of property, from RS-7, Residential Single Family, to CO, Commercial Office. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the rezone citing the findings and conclusions listed in Attachment "A" to this staffreport. BACKGROUND: The area proposed for rezone is located at the northwest comer of Race Street between Caroline Street and the Marine bluff. The site is flat and vacant. Properties to the south and west are zoned and developed with single family residences. Properties to the east are zoned CO Commercial Office and are mainly developed with office/medical uses. With the exception of lots along the marine bluffin the area, the vacant lot is the only property along the Race Street corridor north of Front Street that is not zoned Commercial Office (see attached map). DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC COMMENT: Reviewing City Departments had no objection to the proposed rezone. City utilities are available and adequate to serve additional commercial uses in the area. 229 Olympic Medical Center - REZ 04-01 May 12, 2004 Page 2 Public notification of the proposal was mailed to surrounding property owners on March 30, 2004, the site was posted on April 2, 2004, and notice was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on April 4, 2004. Written con~-nents were received from neighboring property owners who objected to the continued expansion of commercial zoning in the area. The written comment letters are attached for your review. ZONING: RS-7 Zone - "This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite size lots. Uses which are comt~atible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may also be located in this zone." CO Zone - "This is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative orprofessional uses which do not involve the retail sale of goods but rather !vrovide a service to clients, the t~rovision of which does not create high traffic volumes, i~,volve extended hours of ol~eration, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas." The Commercial Office zone was created to allow for business uses that are considered to be compatible with and offer the least impact to adjacent residential areas such as: financial institutions, t~rofessional offices, child day-care centers, pre-schools, medical/dental clinics, offices, and laboratories. Such uses can create a needed buffer between arterial streets and residential uses. In this instance, emergency activities associated with the location of the Medical Center emergency entrance being directly across Race Street could be significantly disruptive to a typical residential use on the site and the use of a site as a buffer could improve the residential atmosphere further west of the area. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 7, 2004. This satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (RCW 43.21C). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site as Corm-nercial. The entire area north of Front Street from the east City limits to Laurel Street in this area is designated Commercial as can be seen on the attached map. Only a small area west of Race Street is identified as having the potential of remaining Low Density Residential (LDR), which is an area located along the marine bluff where mainly older residences are found west of the subject site. A principal goal of the Commercial land designation is to create and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy. Although the entire Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives have been reviewed with regard to the proposal, in the interest of conciseness, only those policies found to be most relevant to the proposal have been cited herein. 230 Olympic Medical Center - REZ 04-01 May 12, 2004 Page 3 Land Use Map Goal, Policies and Objective Goal A, Policy 1 - "The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be used as a conceptual guide for detemsining current and long range zoning and other land use decisions. The map's land use designations are intended to show areas where general land use types are allowed. The area bem, een land use designations sl~ould be considered an imprecise margin in order to provide flexibility in determining the boundary of such areas. When determining appropriate zonh~g designations for an area near a margin, the goals, policies and objectives of the Land Use Element should take precedence." The subject site is identified on the City 'S Comjgrehensive Plan Land Use Map in a commercially (C) designated area that borders a bubble of low densiO~ residential (LDR). The LDR designation in this location identifies an established bluffproperty residential area with all other property in the neighborhood identified as commercial. Goal A, Policy No. 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." Staff's recommendation is based on the Comjprehensive Plan Land Use Ma]~ and land use elements. Policy 2. Public uses such as government offices, public service buildings, and other public and quasi- public facilities and services may be allowed in commercially designated areas. Con~'nercial Goals and Policies Goal D: To create and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy. I Policy D.2: Public uses such as goven~nent offices, public service buildings, and other public and quasi-public facilities and services may be allowed in commercially designated areas. The ]grol2osal is to rezone ]9roperO~ owned by the Olym]gic Medical Center to a commercial designation that would allow not only O~ical Commercial Office uses, but atpresent, to be used in conjunction with Medical Center activities. Capital Facilities Element Goal A. "To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public." Goal D. To participate with the County, State, and Federal govermnents as well as other public agencies to provide adequate regional public services. 231 Olympic Medical Center - REZ 04-01 May i2, 2004 Page 4 The r~zone 12roposal would provide additional commercial property in an area designated for ~,c,, use. ]n this .....

DEPARTMENT OF COMM~TY DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map desi~ates the entire area no~h of Front Street.as Commercial from the CiW limits to Laurel Street with a small node of low density residential identi~ng existing residential bluff sites west of Race Street directly west of the subject site. Although the entire area has been identified as having the potential to develop to co~ercial uses since 1995, it was dete~ined that rezone of the area, pa~icularly west of Race Street and east of Jones Street, would be dram on a case by case basis depending on requests from prope~y owners. The cu~ent application is a request for such a change. Two small, older homes exist north of the alley north of the subject prope~Xy while the.subject site is vacant with larger residential sites located to the west of the prope~y. ~'eas west of the site would be ' required to be buffered from a~erial street activities if the subject site were to be developed as co~ercial because the co~ercial zoning classification requires additional buffering where buffering be~een residential uses is not required. Co~ercial uses on comer lots are o~en prefecTed as buffers for interior residential uses. Co~nercial activities pe~itted in the Commercial Office Zone tend to be the t~e of activities that ~e "good neighbor" uses that no,ally occur during the weekday with little or reduced weekend activities. CO uses are no,ally well maintained propel/es because, as pan of the business atmosphere, it is impo~ant to present ~ attractive exterior to clients. Fu~he~ore, activities that can be pe~itted conditionally in the Co~ercial Office zone would likely contain conditions that would make them even more compatible with adjoi~fing residential uses due to the ability to require additional buffering, landscaping, hours of operation, and specific use of the site could be conditioned. 232 Olympic Medical Center - REZ 04-0I May 12, 2004 Page 5 ATTACHMENT "A" FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF REZONE PROPOSAL - ~¥.7.

It is our understanding that the immediate purpose of the proposed rezone is to permit the construction ora parking lot for the Olympic Medical Center. We are opposed to this rezone as we feel it encourages the haphazard, shortsighted, and unnecessary expansion of the Medical Center at the expense of the surrounding neighborhoods. ' Issues that we would like to have addressed before this decision is made include: 1 .) How can the city approve a rezone for parking in the absence of any a Master Site Plan for the campus of the Medical Center. There should be a more farsighted development plan in place for such a large institution before the city permits the paving of the neighborhood lot by lot. 2.) An assessment of the longer term parking needs of the Medical Center. Clearly, this assessment needs to be made in light of potential area population growth and expansion of services offered by the Medical Center. But additionally, it is not preposterous to request that this assessment include a consideration of the depletion of world oil supplies and the likely change in the economics of commuting. I 3.) What policy and code revisions could the city make that would help the Medical Center implement more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to their current parking problems. Specifically, how can the city encourage the Medical Center to make a good faith exploration into the increased use of carpooling and public transit. Sincerely, Carl Haarstad and Michelle Surette 241 242 Carl ..aarstad and Ms. Michelle Surette APR - ~ ZO0~! 316 North Race Street ~ J Port Angeles, WA 98362 CITY OF PORT ANGELES Dept. of Community Developmerfi (Tel: 360-452-09313 Dear Council Members of Port Angeles: Thm~k you for the opportunity to address you. These are the issues we would like lo speak about at tonighl's meeting. As homeowners and the proprietors of the Thor Town lmernational Hostel, a Bed and BreakSast located at 316 North Race Street, we are disheartened by the design and location of the recent and proposed expansion plans of Olympic Memorial Hospital. During the summer of 2003, the hospital built a 60 space parking lot on the property SW of the intersection of Caroline and Chambers streets. We believe that this tot was built in' violation of two m~d perhaps three items of the city code. l .) The parking lot is devoid of any vegetation, whereas the code Section 17.20.230 Design and Landscaping,/tern G. requ/res "One tree shall be provided for each ten parking spaces, exclusive of any perimeter landscaping. Trees shah have a minimum, caliper of two inches, and a height of at least twenty feet at maturity." Attached is a copy of an email correspondence with Mr. Sco'tt Johns of the planning department concerning this topic. In it he asserts that the Community Development Department has the authority to permit the substitution of trees planted on public property in the fight-of-way for the trees required on the o-amer's property as specified in the city code. We question this. 2.) The lights illuminate the property of the adjacent residence at 1022 Caroline in violation of City Code 17.20.230 item B. "All lighting on the site shall be so directed as to reflect away fi.om adjoining properties and public rights-of-way." As shoran in the attached photos, taken at two am, the adjacent property is lit brightly enough to permit reading a book in the middle of the night. When we spoke vdth the current resident to get permission to take these photos, her comment about the lighting was "Tell me about it. It drives me nuts." 3.) Although the architect wrote in the SEPA application for the project that the "Sro]Tn water system to be designed to City of Port Angeles requirements", the design plans contain no mention o£the storm drains which are located in the center of the parking tot. Furthermore, the planning and public works departments have been unable to provide any documentation on the design or inspection of the storm drains, leading us to question whether or not appropriate stormwater protection is being provided. 243 Because of these perceived violations of the cky code, we request thru the council exercise its oversighl of the planning and public works departments and request a report on how these decisions to accon2nodate the hospital at the expense of the neighborhood came to pass. This is mn especially pressing concern for us since the hospital has recemly purchased the property and residence adjacent to our home with the intentions of building a similar parking lot. We would like to prevenl that sl}qe of development. We would also like to raise the broader issue of the factors pushing the hospital in ks current development direction. We've spoken briefly with staffin hospital administration, to better understand the curren, t park_ing problen-k and intend to further 'address the issue at the meeting of their commissioners tomorrow evening (4/7/2004). Apparently, there are at least two factors pushing the hospital to choose to raze what in many communities would be a Heritage House in favor of a parking lot for approxirnalely 20 vehicles at a cost approaching $10,000 per stall. First, there are residents in the neighborhood who are unhappy with the emploYee's cars parked on the street during wor ~king hours. Secondly, the ciD' zoning code is requiring additional off street parking prior to issuing any additional building permits. We feel these statutes are no longer appropriate in light of the growing opinion among scientists, including petroleum geologists, that production of oil will peak during this decade and this time a shortage of supply and soaring prices are truly here to stay. In light of the possibility of an enduring fuel shortage, as well as all of the detrhnental effects of sprawl encouraged by car centered policies, we requ. est that the city initiate discussions with the hospital and Clallam Transit on how the transportation needs of the hospital might be met without the further destruction of our neighborhood. At present, we still live in a beautiful neighborhood with wa 'gz_ing access 1o the waterfront and do,amtown. As a large employer and a public service institution, we hope that the hospital may have the size and spirit, as well as the organizational ability to make a switch away from individual automobile use and toward transportation that will be sustainable and enhance the livability of our city. As someone wrote on the website for the City of Port Angeles, "Conservation matters, and it matters now!" This is an opportunity for the city to make that more than a slogan.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June 1, 2004 To: CiTY COUNCIL ~ FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment 04-01 - Cronin Summary_: Douglas and Linda Day Cronin applied for a Land Use Map change in a six block area adjacent to Race Street between 4th and 7th Streets and for two policies changes supporting the Land Use Map change. The policies changes would add the words "light commercial" to Land Use Element Commercial Policy E.6 and to Transportation Element Policy B.3. The map and policy changes would create a conflict with the policy direction of preventing further strip commercial . development in the City and of facilitating a crosstown truck route along Race Street and Lauridsen Boulevard. The Planning Commission recommended denial of CPA 04-01 because of the policy conflicts on a 6-1 vote. Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council open the public hearing for any testimony and continue to the City Council June 14, 2004 meeting for action. Background / Analysis: In 1994 the City adopted Comprehensive Plan map designations and policies to protect arterial streets from further strip commercial development and to preserve a lower intensity corridor for a crosstown truck route. Commercial congestion along arterial streets were creating objections, particularly from businesses and the Port Angeles Downtown Association, for truck traveling through the City. The City has had a longstanding land use policy discouraging strip commercial, which was considered less attractive, less efficient, less pedestrian oriented, and more impacting on a larger number of adjoining properties. Race Street has received considerable pressure for commercial uses over the years. All applications for Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone have been denied, except for one office development between the 6th and 7th Streets. Several members of the Planning Commission expressed support for the land use change but not without broader policy changes regarding the desirability of new strip commercial development and a better understanding of the impacts on the crosstown truck route along Race St. Attachments: Findings and Conclusions Excerpt of May 12, 2004, Planning Commission Minutes Staff Report 5/12/04 CPA 04-01 Application 245 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS FOR DENIAL OF CPA 04-01 - Cronin Findings: 1. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed by a property owner, Douglas P. and Lynda Day Cronin, for a change in the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to Commercial in the area south of 4th Street and north of 7th Street between Francis and Washington Streets. The proposal encompasses a six block area. 2. The amendment was submitted in a timely manner prior to March 31,2004. 3. ' The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment would decrease the medium density residential land available in the City by approximately 6 acres. 4. The Comprehensive Plan discourages creating strip commercial development outside of the US 101 corridor and 'encourages cluster development. 5. The Cornprehensive Plan only allows commercial development in residential areas as neighborhood shopping areas and as long as it does not encourage traffic from outside the area or increase traffic congestion within residential neighborhoods. 6. The Comprehensive Plan identifies improvements to the Lauridsen Bridge to facilitate both a crosstown truck route and alternate local crosstown route, indicating that the Race Street corridor is considered as a portion of those future projects. 7. Several previous analyses of the amount of the City's land uses have shown that them is a relative shortage of high and medium density residential to low density residential and commercial zoned areas. I · 8. A recent land use analys~s in Port Angeles indicated there is 279 acres of high and medium density residential zoned land, 2,423 acres of low density residential zoned land and 333 acres of commercially zoned land. 9. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposed amendment, and the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C.2, C.3, C.4, Goal E and Policies E.2, E.5, E.6, and E.8 and Transportation Element Goal B, Policy B.2, B.3, B.6, B.7, and Objective B.1 were found to be the most relevant. 10. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued per WAC 197-11-355 on May 5, 2004. 11. No public comments to the proposal have been received. Conclusions: A. The proposal to change the Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use designation along the Race Street from 4th to 7th Streets and Francis to Washington Streets to Commercial (C) is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policies C.2-C.4, E.2, 5, 6, and 8, and Transportation Element B.3. 2,t6 B. The proposal was found to be inconsistent with policies which discourage creating a strip commercial character outside of the us 101 corridor and discourage uses that may reduce the viability of the Race Street/Lauridsen Boulevard corridor as an alternate crosstown route. C. Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. D. In this case, medium density housing is a transitional use between the intense commercial area along First and Front Streets and the less intense commercial area at 8th and Race Street, and does not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing in the area. E. The proposal is in an area of existing park facilities and low to medium density residential structures. F. Comprehensive Plan ganendment CPA 04-01 by reducing medium density housing opportunities, increasing'potential traffic impacts, and not supporting the City's chosen urban design patterns is not in the public interest. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of, 2004. Richard Headrick, Mayor Becky J. Upton, City Clerk~ 247 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE pLAN AND LAND USE MAP - CPA 04-01 - CRONIN: Amendment to the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation between 4th Street and 7~h Street along Race Street to Commercial (C). Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's report recommending denial of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal. Chair Hewins Opened the public hearing. George Cronin, 191 Old School House Road, Gardiner, WA stated that although the application identifies a full block area east/west each side of Race Street, his specific interest is to allow a light commercial area along Race Street connecting to existing commercial development in the area. Encroachment into the surrounding residential area east/west of the corridor is not really intended but he felt that the area lends to a light commercial use that w'ould favorably serve the community. In response to Commissioner Norton's question as to what types of uses would be considered "light commercial", Mr. Cronin responded that he would seek professional office type uses. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.. Community Development Director Brad Collins responded to Planning Commissioners' questions regarding the ability of an applicant to reapply in the event a proposal is denied, by saying that applications may only be considered once a year within certain submittal timelines. When asked if staff's concern with the proposal's conflict with current transportation policies would be aleviated if the area shown in the application were reduced, Director Collins responded that an adjustment of the proposed boundary would still be in conflict without a change to the existing transportation policies. Commissioner Nutter opposed the extent of the proposed commercial change to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and stated that, as the applicant's proposal could not be changed, she would not support the amendment. Commissioner Hewins asked for clarification purposes, how a rezone is considered following a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change. Director Collins stated that property owners would request such a change and that it is unlikely that the City would simply rezone a property without being asked to do so by the property owner. Following continued discussion, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend that the City Council deny the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal c~fing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: 1. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed by a property owner, Douglas P. and Lynda Day Cronin, for a change in the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to Commercial in the area south of 4th Street and north of 7th Street between Francis and Washington Streets. The proposal encompasses a six block area. 248 Planning Commissio~t Mhmtes May 12, Page 2 2. The amendment was submitted in a timely manner prior to March 31, 2004. 3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment would decrease the medium density residential land available in the City by approximately 6 acres. 4. The Comprehensive Plan discourages creating strip commercial development outside of the US 101 corridor and encourages cluster development. 5. The .Comprehensive Plan only allows commercial development in residential areas as neighborhood shopping areas and as' long as it does not encourage traffic from outside the area or increase traffic congestion within residential neighborhoods. 6. The Comprehensive Plan identifies improvements to the Lauridsen Bridge to facilita[e both a crosstown truck route and alternate local crosstown route, indicating t.hat the Race Street corridor is considered as a portion of those future projects. , 7. Several previous analyses of the amount of the City's land uses have shown that there is a relative shortage of high and medium density residential to low density residential and commercial zoned areas. 8. A recent land use analysis in Port Angeles indicated there is 279 acres of high and medium density residential zoned land, 2,423 acres of low density residential zoned land and 333 acres of commercially zoned land. 9. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposed amendment, and the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C.2, C.3, C.4, Goal E and Policies E.2, E.5, E.6, and E.8 and Transportation Element Goal B, Policy B.2, B.3, B.6, B.7, and Objective B.1 were found to be the most relevant. 10. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued per WAC 197-11-355 on May 5, 2004. 11. No public comments to the proposal have been received. Conclusions: A. The proposal to change the Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use designation along the Race Street from 4th to 7th Streets and Francis to Washington Streets to Commercial (C) is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policies C.2-C.4, E.2, 5, 6, and 8, and Transportation Element B.3. B. The proposal was found to be inconsistent with policies which discourage creating a strip commercial character outside of the us 101 corridor and discourage uses that may reduce the viability of the Race Street/Lauridsen Boulevard corridor as an alternate crosstown route. 249 Planning Commission Minutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 3 C. Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. D. In this case, medium density housing is a transitional use between the intense commercial area along First and Fr~ont Streets and the less intense commercial area at 8th and Race Street, and does not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing in the area. E. The proposal is in an area of existing park facilities and low to medium density residential structures. F. Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA 04-01 by reducing medium density housing opportunities, increasing potential traffic impacts, and not supporting the City's chosen urban design patterns is not in the public interest. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6-1 with Commissioner Hewins voting against the motion. Commissioner Hewins stated that while he believes the area is destined to become more commercial, he could not support the redesignation of such a large area. Commissioner Schramm agreed that it is likely the area will eventually be commercial but stated that he too would not be in favor of the proposed extent of the redesignation from Francis Street to Washington Street. Commissioner Philpott concurred and indicated that he would have been in favor of the proposal had the area been only along Race Street. 250 FILE p_ ORTAN' L 'S WASHINGTON, U.S.A. g. ~ PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT DATE: May 12, 2004 TO: Chair Hewins and Planning Commission members FROM: Scott Jolms, Associate Planner FILE #: Comprehensive Plan Amendment - CPA 04-0 l APPLICANT: Douglas P. and Lynda Day Cronin ..

PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for a three block by two block area along Race Street from 4th Street to 7th Street between Francis Street and Washington Street from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (C). The application also proposes changes in the language of Land Use Element E.6 and Transportation Element B.3 to include light commercial uses for the 400 Block of Race Street and surrounding buildings. The application is included as Attachment C. 251 Plannin~ Depar~raent~s~at'/' Report May 12, 2004 CPA 04-01 - Cronin Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENTS No comments were received from the public regarding this proposal. Notice of the public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan was published in the .Peninsula Daily News on April 28, 2004. ANALYSIS/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW The proposal to change the Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use map designation along Race Street to Commercial (C) is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and Transportation Element Policies. The entire Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed, and the most relevant Comprehensive Plan goals and policies are included in this report as Attachment B, The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment would expand the commercial land use designation along the planned crosstown truck route. Such expansion is not consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goal E, Policies E.2, E.5, and E.6, and Transportation Element Goal B, Policies B.2, B.3, B.6, B.7, and Objective B.1. If the primary purpose for relocating truck traffic off of First and Front Streets is to avoid commercial areas where access and congestion are significant concerns with circulation patterns, then developing new commercial areas along the planned crosstown truck route would defeat a purpose for the major capital improvements planned for and given a high priority in the Comprehensive Plan. The expansion of a commercial area along the planned crosstown truck route on Race Street should be seen as reducing the potential benefit for such a route and therefore decreasing consideration o~'very costly improvements in the future. It is possible the crosstown truck route could be developed along the alternate local crosstown route, which is not scheduled for development soon. The crosstown truck route policies were adopted to take early action to relieve the intensive pressure on the principal arterial (US 101) and the minor arterial (Marine Drive) corridor through the downtown area. The expansion of a commercial area along Race Street would disrupt the residential character of the area. Such expansion is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policies C.2, C.3, C.4, and E.8. The existing services and public facilities include Civic Field, Erickson Park, and the YMCA of C]allam County. These facilities are in close proximity to the residential uses of the area. Race Street, Fifth Street and Eighth S;reet are all arterial streets of sufficient size to satisfy traffic demand and to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion and are therefore appropriate for medium density residential uses. The major commercial area along First and Front Streets is located three blocks to the north and a smaller commercial area located at Eighth and Race extends north along both sides of Race Street to Seventh Street and along the east side of Race Street to Sixth Street. The area proposed for change from Medium Density Residential to Commercial currently acts as a transitional area between these two commercial areas. Designating the entire Race Street corridor as commercial would create a strip commercial pattern rather than a clustered pattern. Adding commercial land uses in this area would encourage traffic 252 Planning Department Staff Report Ma), 12, 2004 CPA 04-01 - (~ronin Page 3 from outsi~]e of the district and cause traffic congestion due to increased turning maneuvers across existing arterial traffic flow. The applicant also proposed a change in the Comprehensive Plan language of Land Use Element Policy E.6 and Transportation Element Policy B.3. As indicated above, Land Use Policy E.6 states "New Comprehensive Plan commercial area designations should not be located along the alternate local crosstown route or the crosstown truck route." To amend this policy to include "light commercial" uses would reverse the intent of the policy. The area is a residential neighborhood with single and multifamily structures and a nursing home. There is easy access to parks and the YMCA of Clallam County. Although a traffic light has recently been installed at 5'h and Race Street indicating an increase in traffic at the intersection, the traffic is primarily passing through. Adding commercial uses to the area would increase traffic further by enticing customers from out of the area and necessitate mid-block left turns across the traffic flow to reach commercial emerprises. Transportation Policy B.3 states "The City should facilitate the development, of a crosstown truck route with improvements which provide full access to Highway 117 to and from Highway 101 and improvements to the Lauridsen Boulevard Bridge over Peabody (]reek and the , intersections of Lauridsen Boulevard at Race Street and Highway 10]." By amending the language of this policy, it would then be made to conflict with Land Use Po]icy E.2 and E.5 by creating a strip commercial area between the commercial areas of First and From and ?t~ and Race Streets rather than a clustering of commercial development. ' A previous Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA 96-01) changed the east side of race Street south of Sixth Street from the Medium Density Residential to Commercial land use designation. That similar amendment was found to be constant with Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A. 1, Goal C, and Policy C. 1, which allows for a viable district including non residential uses compatible with the adjacenl residential neighborhoods and with Commercial Land Use E]emem Policy E.3 and Transportation Element Objective B. 1, which provides for adequate mitigation of new commercial uses on both the principal arterial (Race St.) and the residential neighborhoods. When the extension of commercial zoning fi'om Seventh Street north along the east side of Race Street was approved, it seemed likely that the commercial land use designation could have been expected along the west side of Race Street as well. However, eight years later, nothing has changed concerning the Comprehensive Plan land use and transportation policies, the planned crosstown truck route, nor the alternate local crosstown route that would justify such a change. An analyses of the amount of the City's land uses show that there is a relative shortage of medium and high density residential to low density residential designated areas and to commercial areas. A recent analysis of curt'early zoned areas indicates that medium and high density residential zoning makes up 9.3 % of the areas zoned for eiflaer residential or commercial and low density zoning makes up over 78%. Conversely, 11% of the same area is commercially zoned.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Goal A: To manage growth in a responsible manner that is beneficial to the community as a whole, is sensitive to the rights and needs of individuals and is consistent With the State of Washington's Growth Management Act. Policy A.I: In all its actions and to the exlent consislent with the provisions of this comprehensive plan, the City shall strive to implement the following goals of the State Growth Management Act. Policy A.17: All development regulations shall be promulgated with due regard 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 discr[minatory actions. V. LAND USE ELEMENT 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 opportunities of the future. Policy A.I: 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 designations are intended to shoW areas where general ]and 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. Goal B: To have a communit3, where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. (Emphasis added) Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential opportunities for personal interaction, fulfi]hnent and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. Policy C.I: Residential ]and should be developed on the district and neighborhood concept. Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a uniform density, a healthy, viable district should be composed of residential uses of varying densities which may be augmented by subordinate and compatible uses. Single family and multi-family homes, parks and open-spaces, schools, churches, day care and residential services, home occupations, and district shopping areas are all legitimate components of district development and enhancement. A neighborhood should be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing. Policy C.2: Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses. based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. (Emphasis added) Policy C.3: Medium and high density housing should be served by arterial streets of sufficient size in order to satisfy traffic demand and to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion. 257 Planning. Department Staff Report May 12, 2004 CPA 04-01 ~ Cronin Page 8 Policy C.,~: Medium and high density housing could be a transitional use between different land uses, provided such other uses would not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing. Goal E: To provide shopping opportunities which meet the needs of all City residents and visitors in safe, usable shopping areas that are compatible with the surrounding area and uses, the environment, and the desired urban design of the City. (Emphasis added) Policy E.2: New commercial developments should occur only where urban services are adequate to accommodate them. These developments should follow a cluster configuration rather than a strip pattern. (Emphasis added) Policy E.3: Commercial development should buffer its impacts on adjacent residential uses. Where commercial development is adjacent to residential uses, the commercial development should incorporate elements in the site design to soften the impacts on the residential uses. VI. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT . Goal B: To improve circulation patterns across and within the community. Policy B.2: The City should divert crosstown truck traffic around the downtown area. Policy B.3: The City should facilitate the development of a crosstown truck route with improvements which provide full access to Highway 117 to and from Highway 101 and improvements to the Lauridsen Boulevard Bridge over Peabody Creek and the intersections of Lauridsen Boulevard at Race Street and Highway 101. Policy B.6: The City should facilitate the development of an alternate local crosstown route with improvements which provide full access at Highway 101 and Highway 117 (the Tumwater Truck Route). Improvements should be made to the intersections of Lauridsen Boulevard at Lincoln and Peabody Streets. Improvements should be made to the Lauridsen Boulevard bridge over Peabody Creek. Improvement should be made for development of a crossing over White's Creek. Policy B.7: Alternate local crosstown route and crosstown truck route improvements should be given a high priority in capital facility planning. Objective B.I: Secondary and primary arterials will be designed with an appropriate balance for moving through traffic and providing local access to uses that front on these arterials. In commercially zoned areas, policies for consolidating access and providing for joint access and maintenance of driveways would be considered. VIII. HOUSING ELEMENT Goal A: To improve the variety, quality, availability, and affordability of housing opportunities in the City of Port Angeles. Policy A.5: The City should plan for sufficient urban services to support future housing in a variety of allowable densities. 258 Planning Dep~mment Staff Report May 12, 2004 CPA 04-01 - Cronin Page 9 t XI. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT Policy B.5: The Ci~, should encourage the availability of housing tha! meets the needs of the entire spectrum of the community's work force. 259 260 262 ' A'I"I'ACHSIENT C c0mP.~efid]X $450 CITY OF 'GRg:XNGELES PLEASE NOTE: Deadline for applications is March 3], 2003. ~PLI C~T/O~NER INFO~ATI ON: ~ROPOSED COMP~HENSBrE PL~ TEXT&AND USE ~ CH~GE: ~ote specific >oli cy citations.) ~STI~CATION FOR C~GE: : J haye read ¢1~ afi~i¢catio,¢n i'[¢~tireO, and believe~%informatio~ hereb~ flresented ¢o be true d'~d correct. _ttac~ent 263 June 1, 2004 To: Port Angeles City Council, Dept. of Community Development From: Robbie Mantooth, 2238 E. Lindberg Road, Port Angeles, WA 98362 Subject: Protection of Ennis Creek ! have appreciated the opportunity the Vision 2020 planning process is providing, and I have responded to your invitation for citizen involvement by submitting numerous suggestions for the Comprehensive Plan. Those continue to be important to me, but at this point in the process, I want to focus on my previous proposals that the City take a pro-active stance to protect an irreplaceable resource, Ennis Creek. I have been especially concerned about making sure Ennis Creek will have the protection it may need in the months before we have another opportunity to revise the Comprehensive Plan. I understand the difficulty in determining how the Comprehensive Plan should designate Rayonier's property and former millsite when reports from the Department of Ecology on the extent of pollution and a cleanup plan are not yet available. But I think our City representatives need to do more than wait for events to transpire. I would like to propose a simple way to protect the site's most significant natural assets. The City's land use map already designates the Ennis Creek corridor beyond the Rayonier property as open space. Why shouldn't the corridor within the former millsite have the same designation? Buffers of 200 to 300 feet on each side ora stream are typical for providing riparian protection. In the case of Ennis Creek, an additional area needs to be set aside for the estuarine environment anadromous fish need for getting acclimated as they are heading out to saltwater and again as they return to freshwater spawning grounds. Even the specialists are uncertain just how far this estuarine area extended, but Randy Johnson, a fish habitat specialist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife created a virtual representation showing approximately 5-7 acres on both sides of the stream. It's possible that a sufficient estuarine environment could be restored using only the east side of the stream, so it would not interfere with the property farther west, which I understand is more suitable for development. It seems only fair to give the fish some of the estuarine area that was covered by landfill before people ~ew any better and essentially provided free land for Rayonier and its predecessor mills for many decades. I only used the term "development" to refer to the land west of the stream, but I think the most effective planning for our economy as well as our quality of life would regard open space as such a valuable asset that we might call it "open space development." We know how valuable the community trail has become for residents and visitors who contribute to our economy. We could call that "open space development." Can you imagine what an attraction it would be if people could watch from the trail and see salmon leaping toward their spawning grounds upstream? How many cities have such a natural asset within easy walking distance from downtown? It's amazing that Ennis Creek still has coho, steelhead and cutthroat even though its estuary has been destroyed by landfill and its meandering path that once kept young fish from being swept out to sea before they were ready has been straightened and forced into a narrow channel. But this stream's status as healthiest of the Port Angeles urban streams recently was reaffirmed by the area watershed planning council and it even was given top priority ranking for restoration potential - right up there with the Elwha River. Ennis Creek flows from snowfields around Mount Angeles and is protected by Olympic National Park for much of its distance. Other governmental entities, individuals and corporations are working to restore Ennis Creek. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe has received funding from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to improve fish spawning and rearing areas upstream on about a half mile of Ennis Creek. About a quarter mile is owned by the City and already is a designated greenbelt under public buildings and parks. The next quarter mile, where restoration work is to take place in the next few weeks, is on property my husband and I own and have protected through a conservation easement with North Olympic Land Trust. Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife and the Washington Department of Transportation have a plan for improving the fishway for Highway 101 that should be implemented this summer. Rayonier has done some remediation work on Ennis Creek. Protecting the Ennis Creek corridor and assuring the availability of the estuarine environment its fish need seems the minimal commitment the City should make through designating these areas as open space in the land use map. My recommendations submitted by earlier deadlines for the comprehensive plan asked for more pro-active policies. But this would be a start toward the kind of leadership our remarkable natural assets deserve. Good leadership also would make sure the exceptional beach on the Rayonier land is protected and access provided from the trail, which logically would be located as close to the beach as practical. I can't imagine that protecting the stream, estuarine area or the beach would interfere with any other development. If construction is not prohibited in those areas, it certainly should be. My proposals are made with complete respect for Rayonier's rights as the property owner. I think the desigq~ations I am recommending will not detract from the property's marketability and actually could enhance it. And the commitment such a designation would show should be helpful in obtaining funding for continuing restoration of Ennis Creek so fish and wildlife will have the protection they deserve and all the people who live and visit here will be able to enjoy the stream and beach. Thank you for your consideration. June 1, 2004 Port Angeles City Council 321 E. 50' St. Port Angeles, WA 98362 Dear Councilmembersi Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the current amendments to theP~''~'''~ Angeles Comprehensive Plan. The Olympic Environmental Council (OEC) is part of a c°.alition that includes individuals of Clallam County and organizations representative of citizens throughout the North Olympic Peninsula and WA State. Coalition organizations are the OEC, Protect the Peninsula's Future, People for Puget Sound, WA Toxics Coalition, Sierra Club, WashPIRG, WA Environmental Council, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, WA Action Project and Physicians for Social Responsibility. The stakeholder breadth is due to Clallam county membershi ps in these organizations, and the fact that state and federal resources are at issue. As actions are set in place towards cleanup assessment and implementation, the work of OEC's Coalition is to insure public education and involvement, that public and environmental .safeguards are met, and that quality plans, actions and binding agreements are in the best interest of public stakeholdersl We believe that several amendments proposed in the update of the comprehensive plan could have a significant impact on the quality of cleanup and future redevelopment of the Rayonier Milt Site and therefore have the following comments: The Rayonier Mill site, Which is a toxic waste site listed under our state's Superfund program, is currently designated as industrial land under the Comprehensive Plan. Understanding some of the requirements of the cleanup process under the Model Toxics Control Act, (the state law under which this site is being regulated) is key to understanding the timing and validity of these amendments. Although this site has been waiting for cleanup for almost a decade, unfortunately it is still early in cleanup process. The Department of Ecology has not yet released the final workplan that explains what kind of further investigation of contaminants must be done at the mill site. Based on that document, which is due to be released soon, the next step is for a Remedial Investigation to be completed. This information will characterize the extent of contamination in the soils, what risks that level of contamination pose to human health, fish and wildlife, and provide 'the basic facts upon which options for cleanup can be proposed.. The-Feasibility Study is the document in which several cleanup options will Rayonier Hazardous Waste Cleanup Project 2~1 FI .... ~J · Port Angeles WA 98362 · Phone/FAX (manual) 360-41 7-0855 email: darlenes@olympus, net· www.°lympus, net/community/oec ~) 100% Reay¢,eO Pao*r be evaluated. Finally, a cleanup plan will be derived from those documents and will undergo public review. Not until then can Ecology, Rayonier, or any other stakeholder state what kind of levels or methods of cleanup will happen at this site One decision that will be made in the future is determining what general level cleanup will be the standard for the site. One level, which would necessitate restrictions on future land use, and is less protective of human health and the environment, is labeled "industrial." The other level is unrestricted and would allow for any and all future land uses at the site. There is one amendment that the city could adopt now which would change the industrial designation to "commercial." This could lead to a final cleanup plan at the site that better protects human health and the environment, but would only be a first step. The change does not automatically change the zoning, and therefore the city would have all its options open for future land use (including industrial) at this important waterfront site. But even if the designation is kept as industrial, it may not have any real effect on the level of cleanup required by Rayonier. The label of "industrial" has no meaning if the actual uses of the site and adjacent lands are either now or expected in the future to reflect other uses. In order for the site to be cleaned up to an industrial standard, it must meet several criteria, regardless of its land use or zoning designation. Attached to this letter is the relevent chapter of WAC 173, which outlines these requirements. Among other considerations, the Dept. of Ecology must look at whether people live on the site, whether the general public has access to the site, and whether there is potential for transport of residual hazardous substances to off-property areas. We urge the city to do everything in its power to ensure that the Rayonier Mill Site is cleaned up to levels that protect human health and the environment. Beyond consideration of final ownership and plans for the site itself, please consider that land and water adjacent to this site are impacted now, and will also be impacted by final cleanup decisions. We urge the the city to maximize the potential of future development at this site. Changing the land use designation to commercial will leave all doors open to future development, and show the city's commitment to a cleanup standard that will allow uses of that site beyond industrial. Whether you favor a park, condos, or retail as the preferred development of the site, the level of cleanup to"industrial" standards at any portion of the site would preclude any of the above. Finally, Rayonier is legally bound to clean up this site. They cannot walk away from the cleanup if they don't like the decisions made by the city about the future of their waterfront. If they do walk away, the Department of Ecology would be responsible for cleanup, and the bill would still be submitted to the liable party, Rayonier. While admittedly this would be a worst case scenario for all involved, the city should not make important decisions about the future of waterfront redevelopment based on fears that achieving that vision may cause Rayonier to stall or derail ultimate cleanup efforts. Again, it is in the city's best interest to prese~e all options for the future sale and redevelopment of the Rayonier Mill Site. Please keep in mind as you make changes to this comprehensive plan now and in the future, that a restricted cleanup level places all sorts of barriers to this goal. OEC is happy to work with the city on making sure the best use is eventually realized, and that the citizens of Port Angeles inherit a future free of a toxic waste site on their waterfronL If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Para Johnson at 206-784-9576, or pamjohnson9 @ comcast, net. Thank you for consideration of these comments, Para John.~on Public Outreach Coordinator Statistical tests shall be performed with a Type I error level of 0.05; (iii) Direct comparison of soil sample concentrations with cleanup levels may be used to evaluate compliance with cleanup levels where selective sampling of soil can be reliably expected to find suspected soil contamination. There must be documented, reliable information that the soil samples have been taken from the appropriate locations. Persons using this method must demonstrate that the basis used for selecting the soil sample locations provides a high probability that any existing areas of soil contamination have been found; or (iv) Other statistical methods approved by the department. (e) All data analysis methods used, including those specified in state and federal law, must meet the following requirements: (i) No single sample concentration shall be greater than two times the soil cleanup level. Higher exceedances to control false positive error rates at five percent may be approved by the department when the cleanup level is based on background concentrations; and (ii) Less than ten percent of the sample concentrations shall exceed the soil cleanup level. Higher exceedances to control false positive error rates at five percent may be approved by the department when the cleanup level is based on background concentrations. (f) When using statistical methods to demonstrate compliance with soil cleanup levels, the following procedures shall be used for measurements below the practical quantitation limit: (i) Measurements below the method detection limit shall be assigned a value equal to one-half the method detection limit when not more than fifteen percent of the measurements are below the practical quantitation limit. (ii) Measurements above the method detection limit but below the practical quantitation limit shall be assigned a value equal to the method detection limit when not more than fifteen percent of the measurements are below the practical quantitation limit. (iii) When between fifteen and fifty percent of the measurements are below the practical quantitation limit and the data are assumed to be lognormally or normally distributed, Cohen's method shall be used to calculate a corrected mean and standard deviation for use in calculating an upper confidence limit on the true mean soil concentration. (iv) If more than fifty percent of the measurements are below the practical quantitation limit, the largest value in the data set shall be used in place of an upper confidence limit on the true mean soil concentration. (v) The department may approve alternate statistical procedures for handling nondetected values or values below the practical quantitation limit. (vi) If a hazardous substance or petroleum fraction has never been detected in any sample at a site and these substances are not suspected of being present at the site based on site history and other knowledge, that hazardous substance or petroleum fraction may be excluded from the statistical analysis.

Applica~ilit~. (a) Criteria. This section shall be used to establish soil cleanup levels where the department has determined that industrial land use represents the reasonable maximum exposure. Soil cleanup levels for this presumed exposure scenario shall be established in accordance with this [ 120 ] section. To qualify as an industrial land use and to use an industrial soil cleanup level a site must meet the following criteria: (i) The area of the site where industrial property soil cleanup levels are proposed must meet the definition of an industrial property under WAC 173-340-200; Industrial soil cleanup levels are based on an adult worker exposure scenario. It is essential to evaluate land uses and zoning for compliance with this definition in the context of this exposure scenario. Local governments use a variety of zoning categories for industrial land uses so a property does not necessarily have to be in a zone called "industrial" to meet the definition of "industrial property." Also, there are land uses allowed in industrial zones that are actually commercial or residential, rather than industrial, land uses. Thus, an evaluation to determine compliance with this definition should include a review of the actual text in the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance pertaining to the site and a visit to the site to observe land uses in the zone. When evaluating land uses to determine if a property use not specifically listed in the definition is a "traditional industrial use" or to determine if the property is "zoned for industrial use," the following characteristics shall be considered: (A) People do not normally live on industrial property. The primary potential exposure is to adult employees of businesses located on the industrial property; (B) Access to industrial property by the general public is generally not allowed. If access is allowed, it is highly limited and controlled due to safety or security considerations; (C) Food is not normally grown/raised on industrial property. (However, food processing operations are commonly considered industrial facilities); (D) Operations at industrial properties are often (but not always) characterized by use and storage of chemicals, noise, odors and truck traffic; (E) The surface of the land at industrial properties is often (but not always) mostly covered by buildings or other structures, paved parking lots, paved access roads and material storage areas--minimizing potential exposure to the soil; and (F) Industrial properties may have support facilities consisting of offices, restaurants, and other facilities that are commercial in nature but are primarily devoted to administrative functions necessary for the industrial use and/or are primarily intended to serve the industrial facility employees and not the general public. (ii) The cleanup action provides for appropriate institutional controls implemented in accordance with WAC 173-340-440 to limit potential exposure to residual hazardous substances. This shall include, at a minimum, placement of a covenant on the property restricting use of the area of the site where industrial soil cleanup levels are proposed to industrial property uses; and (iii) Hazardous substances remaining at the property after remedial action would not pose a threat to human health or the environment at the site or in adjacent nonindustrial areas. In evaluating compliance with this criterion, at a minimum the following factors shall be considered: (A) The potential for access to the industrial property by the general public, especially children. The proximity of the industrial property to residential areas, schools or childcare facilities shall be considered when evaluating access. In addition, the presence of natural features, manmade structures, arterial streets or intervening land uses that would limit or encourage access to the industrial property shall be considered. Fencing shall not be considered sufficient to limit access to an industrial property since this is insufficient to assure long term protection; (B) The degree of reduction of potential exposure to residual hazardous substances by the selected remedy. Where the residual hazardous substances are to be capped to reduce exposure, consideration shall be given to the thickness of the cap and the likelihood of future site maintenance activities, utility and drainage work, or building construction reexposing residual hazardous substances; [ 121 ] (C) The potential for transport of residual hazardous substances to off-property areas, especially residential areas, schools and childcare facilities; (D) The potential for significant adverse effects on wildlife caused by residual hazardous substances using the procedures in WAC 173-340-7490 through 173-340-7494; and (E) The likelihood that these factors would not change for the foreseeable future. (b) Ex--rations. In applying the criteria in (a) of this subsection, the department expects the following results: (i) The department expects that properties zoned for heavy industrial or high intensity industrial use and located within a city or county that has completed a comprehensive plan and adopted implementing zoning regulations under the Growth Management Act (chapter 36.70A RCW) will meet the definition of industrial property. For cities and counties not planning under the Growth Management Act, the department expects that spot zoned industrial properties will not meet the definition of industrial property but that properties that are part of a larger area zoned for heavy industrial or high intensity industrial use will meet the definition of an industrial property; (ii) For both GMA and non-GMA cities and counties, the department expects that light industrial and commercial zones and uses should meet the definition of industrial property where the land uses are comparable to those cited in the definition of industrial property or the land uses are an integral part of a qualifying industrial use (such as, ancillary or support facilities). This will require a site-by-site evaluation of the zoning text and land uses; (iii) The department expects that for portions of industrial properties in close proximity to (generally, within a few hundred feet) residential areas, schools or Childcare facilities, residential soil cleanup levels will be used unless: (A) Access to the industrial property is very unlikely or, the hazardous substances that are not treated or removed are contained under a cap of clean soil (or other materials) of substantial thickness so that it is very unlikely the hazardous substances would be disturbed by future site maintenance and construction activities (depths of even shallow footings, utilities and drainage structures in industrial areas are typically three to six feet); and (B) The hazardous substances are relatively immobile (or have other characteristics) or have been otherwise contained so that subsurface lateral migration or surficial transport via dust or runoff to these nearby areas or facilities is highly unlikely; and (iv) Note that a change in the reasonable maximum exposure to industrial site use primarily affects the direct contact exposure pathway. Thus, for example, for sites where the soil cleanup level is based primarily on the potential for the hazardous substance to leach and cause ground water contamination, it is the department's expectation that an industrial land use will not affect the soil cleanup level. Similarly, where the soil cleanup . level is based primarily on surface water protection or other pathways other than direct human contact, land use is not expected to affect the soil cleanup level. (2) General consiclerations. (a) In the event of a release of a hazardous substance at a site qualifying as industrial property, a cleanup action that complies with this chapter shall be conducted to address those soils with hazardous substance concentrations which exceed industrial soil cleanup levels at the relevant point of compliance. (b) Soil cleanup levels for areas beyond the industrial property boundary that do not qualify for industrial soil cleanup levels under this section (including implementation of institutional controls and a covenant restricting use of the property to industrial property uses) shall be established in accordance with WAC 173-340-740. (c) Industrial soil cleanup levels shall be established at concentrations that do not directly or indirectly cause violations of ground [ 122 ] water, surface water, sediment or air cleanup standards established under this chapter or under applicable state and federal laws. A property that qualifies for an industrial soil cleanup level under this section does not necessarily qualify for a Method C cleanup level in other media. Each medium must be evaluated separately using the criteria applicable to that medium. (d) The department may require more stringent soil cleanup standards than required by this section when, based on a site-specific evaluation, the department determines that this is necessary to protect human health and the environment, including consideration of the factors in WAC 173-340-740 (1) (c). Any imposition of more stringent requirements under this provision shall comply with WAC 173-340-702 and 173-340-708. (3) l~mt~o4A industxi&l soil ~lea~ legals. (a) ~licabilit~. Method A industrial soil cleanup levels may be used only at any industrial property qualifying under WAC 173-340-704(1). (b) ~er&l z~ir_~-ts. Method A industrial soil cleanup levels shall be at least as stringent as all of the following: (i) Concentrations in Table 745-1 and compliance with the corresponding footnotes; (ii) Concentrations established under applicable state and federal laws; (iii) Concentrations that result in no significant adverse effects on the protection and propagation of terrestrial ecological receptors using the procedures specified in WAC 173-340-7490 through 173-340-7493, unless it is demonstrated under those sections that establishing a soil concentration is unnecessary; and (iv) For a hazardous substance that is deemed an indicator hazardous substance under WAC 173-340-708(2) and for which there is no value in Table 745-1 or applicable state and federal laws, a concentration that does not exceed the natural background concentration or the practical quantification limit, subject to the limitations in this chapter. (4) ~thodB inchistri&l soil cleanup le~ls. This section does not provide procedures for establishing Method B industrial soil cleanup levels. Method C is the standard method for establishing soil cleanup levels at industrial sites and its use is conditioned upon the continued use of the site for industrial purposes. The person conducting the cleanup action also has the option of establishing unrestricted land use soil cleanup levels under WAC 173-340-740 for qualifying industrial properties. This option may be desirable when the person wants to avoid restrictions on the future use of the'property. When a site does not qualify for a Method A or Method C industrial soil cleanup level under this section, or the user chooses to establish unrestricted land use soil cleanup levels at a site, soil cleanup levels must be established using Methods A or B under WAC 173-340-740. (5) NethodC industrial soil cleanup levels. (a) Applicability. Method C industrial soil cleanup levels consist of standard and modified cleanup levels as described in this subsection. Either standard or modified Method C soil cleanup levels may be used at any industrial property qualifying under subsection (1) of this section. (b) Standard~thod C industrial soil cleanup levels. Standard Method C industrial soil cleanup levels for industrial properties shall be at least as stringent as all of the following: (i) Applicable state and federal laws. Concentrations established under applicable state and federal laws; (ii) Enviro~-tal protection. Concentrations that result in no significant adverse effects on the protection and propagation of wildlife established using the procedures specified in WAC 173-340-7490 through 173- 340-7494, unless it is demonstrated under those sections that establishing a soil concentration is unnecessary. (iii) Ru~man health protection. For hazardous substances for which sufficiently protective, health-based criteria or standards have not been established under applicable state and federal laws, those concentrations that protect human health as determined by evaluating the following exposure pathways: (A) Gro%uld~ater protraction. Concentrations that will not cause [ 123 ] STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY PO t3ox 4777:~ o OI},mpia, ~,'a~s'hin,~tot~ 9&504777c; ~ (360) 407-6300 June 1, 2004 Mr. Brad Collins Director, Department of Community Development City of Port Angeles 321 E. 5th Street Port Angeles WA 98362 RE: Cleanup at Fommr Rayonier Port Angeles Mill Dear Mr. Collins: I am writing to provide your department with an update on the cleanup at the former Rayonier Port Angeles Mill, and to respond to a suggestion fi'om your office that Ecology might provide some clarification of Washington's Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) rules with respect to local land use designations and their effect on cleanup decisions. As you know, the Washington State Department of Ecology, in consultation with the Lower Elwha Klatlam Tribe, is working with Rayonier on the cleanup of the mill property and its surrounding environs under the authorities of MTCA. The MTCA cleanup process involves several major steps: · Remedial Investigation (RI), which evaluates the site to determine the nature and extent of contamination associated with release of hazardous substances during the operational life of the mill; · Feasibility Study (FS), which develops and evaluates a range of cleanup alternatives to address any contamination identified in the remedial investigation. · Cleanup Action Plan (CAP), which selects the particular combination of cleanup alternatives from the feasibility study and establishes the cleanup standards which the cleanup action is expected to achieve. The Rayonier Port Angeles Mill cleanup is currently in the remedial investigation phase. Accordingly, no cleanup standards have yet been established 'for the site. Cleanup standards under MTcA provide a un/form statewide approach to cleanup that can be applied on a site-by-site basis. The two primary components of the standards for a site are cleanup levels and points of compliance. Cleanup levels detemfine at what level Mr. Brad Collins June 1, 2004 Page 2 a particular hazardous substance does not threaten human health or the environment. Points of compliance designate the locations on the site where the cleanup levels must be met. MTCA allows consideration of cun'ent and future site uses in establishing cleanup levels, and provides exposure models to determine cleanup levels that are protective for direct human contact with soils containing hazardous substances for um'estricted site uses and for industrial site uses at these two different types of sites. The unrestricted use exposure model assumes what is essentially a lifetime exposure and includes factors which consider increased exposure during childhood, when exposures to contaminants could be more critical. The industrial use exposure model assumes a shorter exposure time, representative of exposures that might be encountered in a work environment, and considers the exposed population to consist of adults. As a result of these different assumptions, industrial cleanup levels for soils are somewhat higher than those for unrestricted use. A key difference for a cleanup using the industrial cleanup standards is that the cleanup action must provide for appropriate institutional controls to limit potential exposures to residual hazardous substances at the site. These institutional controls shall include, at a minimum, placement of a covenant on the property to restrict the use of the area of the site where industrial cleanup levels have been selected to industrial property uses. MTCA specifies that the point of compliance for cleanup of soils is established throughout the site from the ground surface to 15 feet below the ground surface. This depth represents a reasonable estimate of the depth of soil that could be excavated and distributed at the site as a result of site development activities. However, MTCA atso recognizes that some soil cleanup actions may involve containment of hazardous substances and that soil cleanup levels may not be met at this point of compliance. If this type of cleanup action otherwise meets MTCA's requirements for permanence and for protection of human health and the environment, Ecology may determine that it complies with the cleanup standards, provided the action also includes monitoring and periodic reviews of the effectiveness of the contaimnent system, and institutional controls. The institutional controls would prohibit or limit activities that could interfere with the long- term integrity of the containment system. Under MTCA, Ecology does not direct the future land use at a particular site through the cleanup process. Rather, Ecology considers the site's historical and current use, projected future use, and local zoning degi~aationg in making a determination of the appropriate cleanup levels to be applied in a cleanup. Typically, Ecology will consult with the owner of the property, and with the local land use planning authorities on the range of future uses of the site. The Rayonier Mill site is somewhat unusual in the respect that it is effectively a vacant parcel with Rayonier anticipating that it will sell the property, and a new owner's plans for site redevelopment rnay at some point need to be factored into an evaluation of cleanup for future use. Mr. Brad Collins June 1, 2004 Page 3 However, Ec61ogy expects that the RI and FS repo~[s for the site will provide for an evaluation of the site conditions against both unrestricted and industrial land use cleanup criteria. Following the public review and finalization of the RI and FS reports, Ecology will develop and issue a draft CAP, which will identify the proposed cleanup action. The public will have the opportunity to review the draft CAP and comment on the proposed cleanup action, including the detem~ination of cleanup levels within the framework described in MTCA. If the cleanup action which is finally selected is based on industrial cleanup levels, but the site is later redeveloped in a use tbr which the industrial cleanup levels would not be protective of human health and the environment, additional investigation and cleanup may be necessary. However, until the RI and FS reports for the site have been drafted by Rayonier, reviewed by Ecology and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and presented to the public for review and comment, it's premature to be drawing conclusions about the extent or type of any cleanup at the site.

First St., Suite 2W, Port Angeles, WA 98362 (360) 452-7441 :REAL'lOft June 1,2004 TO: Port Angeles City Council FROM: Port At~geles Association of REALTORS® RE: City o£ Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Amendment Proposals Thank you for the opportunity to con-unent on the Planning Commission's recommended amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Throughout the Comprehensive Plm~ review process, the Port Angeles Association of REALTORS® (PAAR) has welcomed the opportunity to participate and comment on recommended changes to the Plan. PAAR appreciates the consideration given to our co[vanents by the Citizen Advisory, Cormnittee, the Planning Commission and the City's planning staff. Overall, proposed amendments to the plan reflect the City's goal to pro-actively work toward accommodating quality growth that supports the infrastructure, economic development and quality of life needs of the city's current and future residents. Implementation of many of these policy amendments poises the City to continue building on its current strengths while continuing to improve the community's economic vitality, housing opportunities, environmental protection and create sustainable community services and amenities. PAAR's Land Use Committee has reviewed the Planning Commission's actions on the Citizen Advisory Committee's recommended amendments and submits comment on the following proposed amendments: Land Use - Residential New Policy B.3: Large lots should allow f or future subdivisions at the densities permitted for the zone in which they are located PAAR agrees with the Planning Commission's finding that this policy is unclear both in intent and in implementation. PAAR believes protecting property owner's ability to freely own, use, buy and sell real property is essential for preserving the largest investment most people will make in their lives. All subdivision codes must protect property owners' rights to use the land as they see fit. Should the city prefer subdivisions, which reflect desired densities, those preferences should be encouraged through positive incentives rather than mandated. Land Use - Industrial New Goal I~ New Policy 1.1-3 and New Obiective 1.1 The Rayonier site provides multiple economic opportunities for Port Angeles. PAAR believes these proposed goals, policies and objectives are a thoughtful approach for addressing re- development of the site. The approach provides flexibility for any number of development proposals, is sensitive to the special considerations necessary for infill development, and honors the processes in place for Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map changes. In a spirit of cooperation and progress, we recommend the City consider adoption of these recommendations. Utilities and Public Services Element New Policy D.14 The city should implement the policies adopted in the Water Resources Invento~T Area 18 Watershed Management Plan, including the provision of water supply to the urban areas in and between the Elwha River and Morse Creek drainage basins. PAAR appreciates the years of hard work the WRIA 18 Planning Committee has invested in developing the Watershed Management Plan. It is comprehensive and contains valuable recommendations for ensuring the quantity and quality of our area's water supply. However, as stated this policy recommends implementation of a staggering number of recommendations all of which deserve close scrutiny and continued public input as they are considered for implementation. As the city works toward codifying the recommendations contained in the WRIA 18 plan, each recommendation should be considered on its own merit, utilizing the public participation process to thoroughly review and debate the proposed mandates. Should the city wish to adopt policies specific to its water supply, PAAR recommends identifying those recommendations in the comprehensive plan. New Policy D.16: As sewer is extended into Urban Growth Area, those hooking up should be required to sign a no-protest annexation agreement. According to the Growth Managemem Act (RCW 36.70A. 110(4)) and Clallam County's County-wide Planning Policies (Policies Related to the Implementation of an Urban Growth Area, Policies No. 12 and 13) ensuring adequate city services to urban areas is the responsibility of the City. The City must have the ability to guarantee sustainability of these services. As contentious as this issue is for smaller segments of the population, this policy moves the City closer to sustaining and accommodating urban style growth within the urban boundaries as mandated by the Growth Management Act. The policy will also help prevent de facto restrictions on development in the UGAs due to inadequate infrastructure. PAAR supports this policy. June 1,2004 , CiT~,OFPORTANGEL'~S To the members of Port Angeles City Council, !.~Deot. of C..~ommunity Development Regarding the Comprehensive Land Use Plan As our City grows and amends it's Comprehensive Plan it is considering not only where the city will grow but also what it will grow into. It is planning the future of Port Angeles. In doing so we must look at all of the options that will enhance the economic growth and desirability for investors, visitors and our famih'es to come here and stay. The former Rayonier Mill site is a central part of the proposed amendment to rezone the area from restricted industrial use to unrestricted commercial use and if it is changed, the site would have to be cleaned up to commercial use levels that are safe for human activity. If left as is it will be limited to heavy industry which has lower standard of clean up and would only support limited human activity. When the mill closed 7 years ago, Rayonier announced it was going to sell the site, and they proposed different types of development that could go there. This is prime waterfront property zoned to handle heavy industry and with a minimum industrial cleanup required. Rayonier should have had that site sold, cleaned up and under new development without a hitch but they haven't had a buyer. At the May 12, 2004 PA Planning Commissioners meeting, Rayonier announced that they will not clean up until the site is sold AND it is not for sale. So when are they going to clean it up and sell it if they aren't even looking for a buyer? The City of Port Angeles is also trying to find industry to move to PA. In an attempt to assist the redevelopment of the site, the city formed focus groups to lure new heavy industry to this area and in 7 years it also has not had a bite. Nothing has materialized for the future of this site as it exists and we must reevaluate its use and zoning to make it more attractive for development. The current zoning is much to limited to appeal to other types of development and must be changed. Without the new amendment to the Comprehensive plan, the mill site will remain restricted to heavy industry and limited human activity. There will be no Yacht club or Fine arts center. The visions put forth of a resort, retail development, condos, aquarium, visitors center, commercial office or monorail can never be achieved if the current zoning remains. I support the plan that gives us the most options. I support the amendment changes to Port Angeles's Comprehensive plan.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June l, 2004 To: CITY COUNCIL / FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director'~ SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment 04-02 - City of Port Angeles ISum mary: After several months of intensive public outreach by the Citizen Advisory committee, sixty-eight proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments were drafted that included b'oth Land Use Map and policy changes. Attachments A (new policy language/analysis) and B (neW maps/figures) provide not only these 68 amendments but also additional administrative policy changes and new analysis updating the 1994 Comprehensive Plan. Following sixty days of public review and a public hearing on May 12, 2004, before the Planning Commission, all of the proposed amendments are subject to this public heating on June 1,2004, before the City Council. Because of the large public involvement in the Comprehensive Planning process to date, it is expected that quite a number of citizens and groups will want to testify at the Council's public hearing. To accommodate the large public interest, the City staff report on CPA 04-02 will be presented as scheduled at the June 14, 2004, City Council meeting. Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council open the public hearing on CPA 04-02 and take testimony for one hour on a first come, sign up basis and continue the public hearing to another meeting of the City Council on June 8, 2004, before the matter goes as scheduled to the Council's June 14, 2004, meeting for action. Baekg_round / Analysis: The background information contains copies of public comment letters (Attachment C) which have been received to date and a description of the public participation process in the Citizen Advisory Committee report (Attachment D).

In accordance with the Act, each county must also establish independent urban growth areas capable of containing future growth projected for cities, and other urban areas, for the next 20 years. To ensure compatibility between various comprehensive plans, the cities, county, and other affected agencies cooperatively developed a set of county-wide planning policies to guide this process. To ensure orderly development', the City of Port Angeles agreed to work with the County in the development of comprehensive plan goals and policies for the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan has been developed to meet the requirements of the Grow{h Management Act and is consistent with the Clallam County-Wide Planning Policy. In 2004 the City undertook a public participation program to seek input into updates to the Comprehensive Plan. Citizen comments were received during public meetings, through written comments, and over the Intemet. Various opportunities for community involvement were provided and comments were received represented several hundred people. The following sections of this chapter will hopefully help users of this document better understand what a Comprehensive Plan is and how it relates to other rules and regu]ations of the City. ~ Purpose of the Comprehensive Plan A City's Comprehensive Plan serves as the core of the land use controls which all other city plans, ordinances, and regulations must be in compliance with and support (See Figure 1). Prior to the passage of the State Growth Management Act, such compliance was considered desirable but actual consistency was not required. GMA now makes such compliance a requirement. If subordinate planning or regulations, such as the City's Zoning Ordinance or Capital Facility Plan, are not consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, then those documents may be determined to be illegal and rendered invalid. COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 276 INSERT GRAPHIC HERE The Comprehensive Plan is the basis upon which local govenunental decisions are to be made. It sets forth the City's goals and policies and visualizes directions the City will take over the next two decades. It is, therefore, important that the Comprehensive Plan truly reflect the goals and desires of the community. In order for that to take place, it is vital that citizens take an active role in determining the quality, context, and vision incorporated within this Comprehensive Plan. A community is a diverse and heterogeneous grbuping of people. Individually, each of us has a set of treasured values. Together, we give the community a set of shared values. In a community, individual values often clash and indeed must confront each other if the shared values of the community are to develop. Good planning uncovers the values we share as a community and uses the shared values to guide development of the Comprehensive Plan. No plan can be expected to last for all time. Times change, conditions change, and what we value in our community changes. Even though this Comprehensive Plan covers a 20-year period, it must be reviewed at least every te~ seven years and can be amended every year. This allows the City to adjust the Comprehensive Plan as conditions, needs, and desires of the community change. Through the on-going development of this Comprehensive Plan, the City of the Port Angeles reaffirms that it is the rightful goal of the people of our community to take an active role, sharing the work and responsibility involved in determining the character, quality, and destiny of this community. Development of the Comprehensive Plan and Public Participation 277 n.4; ........ ~;~ ....... 4~,~ ;. November, C01~ CrC ................. F 278 The Comprehensive Plan ,,vas initially updated from its 1976 version under the Growth Management Act in June of 1994. The City has been involved in a three year program to update the Comprehensive Plan. In 2002 the City focused its Comprehensive Plan changes on the downtown and waterfront areas. In 2003, the City focused its amendments on the east side and east UGA. The 2004 updates reflected a City wide approach with an ambitious public participation program. The City of Port Anaeles undertook the task of making maior updates to its Comprehensive Plan over a three year period beginning in 2002. 2M-nendment to the Comprehensive Plan made that year focused on the Downtown and shoreline areas of the City. In 2003, the primary focus was on the eastern portion of the City and the use of low impact development techniques to address storrnwater issues and development costs. The third year, 2004, incorporated Citywide changes that were developed through an intense public participation program as required by the State. To do this, the City appointed a Citizen Advisory Committee comprised of nine members who helped design the Program specifically to reach a large number of citizens and solicit responses that could be used in crafting any proposed amendments. The advisory committee was made up of citizens involved with neighborhood issues, local business and economic development, past 279 Planning Commission and City Council members, and a sitting member of both the City Council and Planning Commission. This group was given the task of designing a program to involve citizens in contributing their ideas to the planning process and to assist staff in crafting proposals for changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The program that was developed consisted of a week-long open house, followed by three weeks of neighborhood meetings. The open house and meetings were advertised by several means, including placing a large banner across Hyw 101, the main street through the City. Press releases were issued weekly to !he newspaper and local radio station. The Peninsula Daily News published seven articles on the planning process over the five week period and carried two City sponsored advertisements. Additionally, planning meetings were announced in the Thinis To Do column on three occasions. The Department of Community Development participated in the two-day Home Show held at the Port Angeles High School gymnasium. The meeting times, dates, and locations were scheduled so that a broad section of the population could participate. Times were varied from early afternoon (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm), later afternoon (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) and later evening'(7:00 pm to 9:00 pm). Meetings were held on various days of the week and seven different locations were used to hold meetings. A web page was developed and linked to the City's Homepage listing the meeting dates, times and focus. The web page was updated throughout the process and the comment questions were made available on-line to provide an additional and easy method of response to the written comments form made available at all the meetihgs and various public locations such as City Hall. Members of the Citizen Advisory Committee volunteered their time to contact and attend meetings of 21 organizations that were identified as potential stakeholders. Those organizations were informed of the planning effort being taken by the City and were invited to participate in the process by suggesting changes that might be made to the Comprehensive Plan. A three-hour forum specifically for these civic and business organizations to comment on or make proposals was held at the end to the three-week public meeting period. The Comprehensive Plan update process has had contact with 300 - 400 individuals through open houses, public meetings, organization/stakeholder presentation, comment forms returned, and use of the Irlternet. Eighty-five people attended at least one public meeting as indicated by sign-in sheets. A total of 58 comment sheets were submitted. In addition, five different organizations made formal presentations to the Citizen Advisory Committee. As a result, 68 specific amendments were drafted and submitted to the Planning Commission for review. Organization and Requirements of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is organized as an introduction, a community profile, a definition section a series of elements, and various appendixes including the Capital Facilities Plan, Housing Needs Assessment, and Environmental Impact Statement. Each element addresses a particular topic and contains a general comment section and one or more goals with various related policies and objectives. Some of the elements have an associated map or plan. 280 The Grd~wth Management Act requires that a comprehenSive plan consist ofa map~or maps and descriptive text covering objectives, principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensiVe plan. The plan shall be an internally consistent document, and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use map. Each comprehensive plan shall include a plan, scheme, or design for each of the following: 1. Land Use Element, 2. Housing Element, 3. Capital Facilities Plan Element, 4. Utilities Element, and 5. Transportation Element. Additionally each plan shall contain a process for identifying and siting essential public facilities. This plan contains each of the required elements as well as three additional optional elements, a conservation element, an economic development element, and a growth management element. Each of the elements have been developed to be consistent with the Growth Management Act and to reflect the needs and desires of the City of Port Angeles and its citizens. Following are the minimum requirements for the various elements as listed in the State of Washington Administrative Code (WAC). Included with the requirements for each mandated ~lement is a table which shows how this comprehensive plan meets these requirements. 1.

The Plan's Environnaental Impact Statement (EIS, Appendix A) is designed as a programmatic ElS and may be used as a phased reviewed environmental document for any plans, ordinances, programs, or development projects that are consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Any project proposed in the City will have to show that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, it cannot be approved unless the Comprehensive Plan is amended and additional environmental review is completed. 287 COMMUNITY PROFILE History of the City The City of Port Angeles has long been the primary urban center of the North Olympic Peninsula.. The earliest residents of the area were Native Americans such as the Klallam ("Strong People") and Makah Indian tribes, who were sustained by the region's abundant natural resources. These same natural resources - the naturally protected deep-water harbor, abundant coniferous forests, prolific wildlife and marine resources, and an overall natural beauty also attracted the first non- natives to the area and continue today to encourage visitors and new residents alike from all walks of life. Known variously as "Old Dungeness," "False Dungeness," "Cherbourg," and "Port Angeles," settlement was intermittent and sporadic throughout the early history of the City'. ' In 1862 (due largely to the efforts of one man: Victor Smith, the "Father of Port Angeles"), President Abraham Lincoln sigmed an executive order setting aside 3,520 acres of land on the site as a U.S. Govennnent Lighthouse and Military Reservation. Soon after, Port Angeles was established as the "Second National City" for the nation, and the original townsite layout has endured to this day. Patterned after the plan of Cincinnati, Ohio (substituting the Harbor for the Ohio River), the streets are arranged and named the same: Front, First, Second, etc. and at fight angles to these are Tumwater, Cedar, Pine, Valley, Cherry, Oak, Laurel, Vine, and Race. While the City has benefited greatly from that original planning with its grid-pattern street layout, various challenges were also created such as utility service provision and circulatory problems, due to the topography of the land. Seven different streams, with associated ravines, travel through the community running south-to-north as they wend their way to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. They are: Dry Creek, Tumwater Creek, Valley Creek, Peabody Creek, Ennis/White's Creek, Lee's Creek, and Morse Creek. Despite such early planning, major settlement did not take place within the City until 1887 with the arri:'a! founding of the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony. A social experiment in communal living the Colony contributed greatly to the expansion of Port Angeles. Although short-lived, this settlement near the mouth of Ennis Creek built a sawmill, lathe-mill, and shipyard; constructed a 58-foot propeller-dfiven schooner, "The Angeles;" started the first newspaper in town (The Model Commonwealth); and built the first schoolhouse, office building, and a City Opera House, in addition to founding four different churches in Port Angeles. The Colony was largely disbanded by 1889 due to internal disputes, but many o£the colonists stayed 288 and bleI~ded with the rest of the thriving community. By 1890, the City population had soared to over 3,000 people, and the Government Reserve established 28 years earlier had become a bottleneck to progress, completely restricting further development of the City since it could not legally be homesteaded. The result was a "land rush" onto the federal property as citizens took matters into their own hands as "Reserve Jumpers" that 4th of July, moving en masse onto the reserve, platting lots, and establishing homesteads. Eventually, forced to recognize this matter officially, Congress conceded ownership to the squatters and opened the Reserve for sale to the public. The year 1890 was also notable as the year Port Angeles was officially incorporated as a City in the newly established State of Washington, and that same year it also became the County Seat of Clallam County. Thereafter, the City grew more slowly and developed much as did other small towns in the Pacific Northwest. Gone were the early pretensions of becoming a great seaport or Second National City patterned after Washington, D.C. Logging and timber have lon~ been important industries, and in 1912 Port Angeles was home to the world's largest sawmill. In 1920, a large pulp and paper mill was built by Washington Pulp and Paper Company. Purchased a few years later and operated by Crown Zellerbach for o, ver 60 years, the mill is now owned by Nippon Paper Mill. The City experienced sporadic growth until the linking of Port Angeles with the transcontinental railroad in 1914 brought increased prosperity. As rail transport increased and sea travel waned, Port Angeles surpassed Port Townsend as the major center for trade and commerce on the Olympic Peninsula. ~ Sustained largely by marine trades and the lumber and fishing industries, Port Angeles became a classic American small town and the center of urban life on the North Olympic Peninsula. In 1922, the Port of Port Angeles was formed. The natural deep- water harbor has always attracted shipping and both commercial and sports fishing. The Port operates a marina, boat haven, and international airport. The first Coast Guard air station on the Pacific Coast was established at Ediz Hook on June 1, 1935. It is the oldest United States Coast Guard Station in the country. The piece of land occupied by the Coast Guard Station is the one remaining part of the military reservation that once included all of what is now Port Angeles. The station officially became Coast Guard Group Port Aneeles in September of 1944 and received its first helicopter in 1946. By far, the largest civic project was the regrading of the downtown streets, which occurred in 1914. The Olyrnpic Power Company was formed in 1911 to construct the Lower Elwha Dam. The county Courthouse was built on Lincoln St. in 1915. A new fire station was built in 1931. A new Police station and jail was built in 1954 and a new city hall in 1987. In 1953 Port Angeles received the All American City Award. 289 Over the past forty years, except for a few periods of more rapid growth in the 1920's and 30's, the City has grown at a fairly stable rate of approximately 1 per cent per year, to its present population of 18,270. The City has used zoning to coordinate development and growth since the 1930's, and in the early 1960's made a determined effort to improve planning efforts through development of a "701" master plan along with a new zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance. In 1976 the City again reviewed its planning goals and process and adopted the 1976 Comprehensive Plan, which is the immediate predecessor of this Comprehensive Plan. Even before the State passed the Growth Management Act of 1990, requiring cities and counties to revise or adopt comprehensive plans, the City of Port Angeles had decided it was time to revise the existing Comprehensive Plan and had already begun that process when the Act established new requirements fgr comprehensive plans. In response, the City has continued to move forward consistent with the Growth Management Act meeting all of its requirements, including the mandated completion dates. Current Characteristics of the City (Update this section as needed) An essential part of developing goals and setting directions for the future lies in reviewing the past and evaluating the present. The following descriPtiOns 'are intended to provide ihe users of this documeTM a general view of the community. For a more detailed analysis, one should refer to the t~EIS and the 2004 update addendum. Location The City of Port Angeles is located in Clallam County on the northern coast of Washington's Olympic Peninsula (See Figure 2). It is less than three hours driving time from Seattle or Olympia and sits at the base of the Olympic Mountains overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca with one of the deepest naturally protected harbors on the West Coast. ImmediatelY to the north is the coastal marine environment of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. To the south are the pristine alpine wilderness areas of the Olympic National Park, to the east is the semi-arid climate of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, and within two hours time to the west is the Hoh Rain Forest and the beaches and rugged beauty of the Pacific Coast. Air The circulation of air around the Olympic Mountains and through the Strait of Juan de Fuca results in mostly easterly or westerly winds in the vicinity of Port Angeles. Highest winds are generally associated with intense winter storms and may be from either an easterly or westerly direction. On most summer afternoons, a moderate to fresh westerly breeze can be expected. Wind velocity and direction vary with the season. Winds from the west predominate and are strongest during the summer, averaging about 14 miles per hour. Winds from the south and east 290 occur ~nore frequently during the winter with an average velocity of about 9 miles per hour. Water 1 Port Angeles is located in the Port Angeles watershed which drains 65,000 acres (101.5 square miles). The topography of the immediate Port Angeles area is characterized by a gradually descending slope from the Olympic Mountains north to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Steep hillsides and bluffs of 50 to 150 feet in elevation mark the northern edge of the slope. This region is segmented by streams which flow from the mountains toward the strait and have formed V-shaped ravines that are much lower in elevation than the surrounding a/reas. The ravines contain the following major creeks which pass through the community to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Port Angeles Harbor; Dry Creek, Tumwater Creek, Valley Creek, Peabody Creek, Ennis/White's Creek, Lee's Creek, .and Morse Creek. The Elwha River is located just west of the City. 291 VICINITY MAP Page left intentionally blank - insert vicinity map FIGURE 2 292 Wildli!e The ma/-ine wetlands are primarily Marine Intertidal Beaches or Marine Intertidal Aquatic Beds. There are a few Estuarine Subtidal Open Water wetlands (the log ponds) near the shoreline at the Daisl:owa Nippon Industries and K-ply mills and various Class II, IH, and IV freshwater wetlands scattered through the City. Identification and classification of all fish and wildlife habitats within the City has not been developed.' The Pentec Shoreline Habitat Assessment has been completed since the original drafting of the Comprehensive Plan and provides a much better basis for understanding the Port Angeles Harbor nearshore environment. The City of Port Angeles Wetland Inventory developed in 1995 by Sheldon and Associates of Seattle, Washington, provides a foundation for protection of local surface and ground waters from degradation, identifies habitat areas to protect and restore and to develop a City wide stormwater management plan. ~ The presence of the wooded ravines with a water source provide areas of riparian habitat and corridors for wildlife movement. Riparian areas help provide most of the food, cover, spawning, breeding, and rearirig for a wide variety of wildlife species. Trees and other plant which shade streams help keep water cool while stabilizing banks and providing food (leaves, twigs, etc) for insects that fiSh eat. Trees also provide cover for wildlife. When trees die and fall into the streams, the logs create small dams and pools that offer fish rearing habitat and cover from predators. Logs that remain on land provide cover for wildlife. Wildlife from the ravines typically make use of surrounding properties and under'eloped lands for foraging. Add c6mment~'hefe abOUt ESA liSti~ °'f ~al~0nid species Within the general area, the Washington State Department of Wildlife (Priority Habitats and Species program) has indicated that there are specific Eagle and Pileated Woodpecker habitats. In addition, the region includes habitats for priority species of State Candidates being studied for inclusion as threatened or endangered and other species that are being monitored. Priority habitats for several ~,ame species are located in the vicinity. State Candidate species (for inclusion as threatened or endangered) include the Marbled Murrelet and Fisher, and the Great Blue Heron is a State Monitored species. Due to an agreement with the Department of Wildlife, the location of these habitats is not immediately available. The locations have been reviewed and considered as part of this analysis. Habitat for the State Endangered Spotted Owl occurs within, but is not lirnited to, the National Forest. The location of other less sensitive species has been identified in the DEIS. In particular, there are two areas that harbor seals use for haulout. One is near the Rayonier Mill and the other is at the base of Ediz Hook in Port Angeles Harbor. The Department of Wildlife maps identify an area along the Harbor side of Ediz Hook that has "regular large concentrations" of shorebirds. The bluff along the shoreline also provides a special and valuable habitat for shorebirds. Within the Olympic National Park, Roosevelt Elk roam the slopes of the mountains. Other wildlife include black bears, cougars, coyotes, beavers, minks, raccoons, otters, wolves, eagles, 293 All of the creeks are used ~'or fish habitat, but most have barriers which limit migration. Dry Creek is used by Coho, Cutthroat and possibly Steelhead. Tumwater Creek provides anadromous use by Coho, Cutthroat, and Steelhead well upstream of the City limits. Valley Creek may be used by sea run Cutthroat and Steelhead, and some Coho return to the lower reaches of Peabody Creek. However, these runs are not felt to be self-sustaining. Some of the ravines, such as the White's Creek and Ennis Creek ravines, are recognized by the State as sustaining significant populations of resident fish and potentially having salmon runs restored, once downstream impediments are removed. The resident fish currently present in Ennis Creek are Coho, Cutthroat, resident and sea run Steelhead. The fish migrate up to 4.9 miles fi.om the Port Angeles Harbor. White's Creek, which joins Em3is Creek contains Coho, Steelhead, sea run Cutthroat up to Front Street. Significant restoration efforts have been undertaken along Valley Creek. In exchange for a log storage area, K-ply Mill cooperated with local citizen groups to reestablish the Valley'Creek estuary. Extensive restoration has been accomplished upstream from the end of Valley Street to the Hwy ] 01 crossing. This effort is accompanied by land acquisitions along the lower portions of Valley Creek with the intent of future restoration projects. Natu~'al Resources There are very limited forest areas, and no mineral lands located within the City. Those that do exist are discussed in the DEIS. Diverse scenic resources are abundant in Port Angeles. Notable visual elements include the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Ediz Hook, Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands, Mt. Baker, Hurricane Ridge, and the Olympic National Park. There are numerous public and private panoramic views of both the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hurricane Ridge from various places in the city. Of special note are the views along the bluffs to the west, east, and above Port Angeles Harbor. The Ocean View Cemetery at the west edge of town provides unobstructed views northward and along the coastline. The beaches and beachfront trail along the shoreline also offer spectacular views of Ediz Hook, the Strait, and distant Vancouver Island. Ediz Hook has superlative views of the ocean, mountains, waterfront, and City. Exceptional views are also available from the roads around Lincoln School and Port Angeles High School, the City Hall area, and Lauridsen Boulevard. The vegetated creek ravines offer wooded open space that provides attractive views as well as wildlife habitat and corridors. Other open space amenities includes wetlands, steep slopes, marshes, hilltops, and even open fields. Noise The primary sources of noise in Port Angeles are the airport, industrial activities at the mills, the Port Angeles Harbor, vehicular traffic, and construction activities. The ambient noise levels 294 within the City of Port Angeles would be expected to vary depending on location within the City. In 1986, a Noise Compatibility Planning Study was conducted for the Fairchild International Airport under the guidelines of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The Plamfing Study included analyses of both existing and projected noise levels associated with the aviation traffic. The mills along the waterfront are a source of noise and are in a difficult place to provide noise attenuation. Since the mills are visible from many residential areas on the hill to the south, these residences can be expected to receive the greatest noise impacts. Rayonier Mill closed in late 1990s leaving no noise producing industries east of the downtown area. Redevelopment of the mill site to heavy industrial uses may once agaih create a noise source there. Higher noise levels are allowed for motor vehicles operations on public roads. Warning sirens and temporary construction equipment are generally exempt from the noise regulations. Traffic levels would be expec!ed to be highest along Highway 101, First Street, Front Street, Lincoln, Lauridsen Boulevard, Race Street, Tumwater Truck Route, and Marine Drive. Population The population for the City of Port Angeles in 1993 was 18,270, this is an increase of 3 per cent over the 1990 population of 17,710. The population for Clallam County in 1993 was 61,400, of-P~. The percentage of the County population residing in the City has dropped to 28.5% in 2004. The 2000 population of 18,397 is a 3.7% increase over the 1990 population. The State Office of Financial Management has projected a 5 per cent growth rate over the next 20 years for Clallam County, this along with a linear projection for Port Angeles is illustrated in Table 7. Note, the City has already exceeded projected growth rates.

Land Use The City of Port Angeles contains 9.5 square miles or 6,070 acres of land, 26 miles of marine shoreline including Ediz Hook, a 4 mile sand spit and 17 miles of streams. There are residential areas, industrial areas which include-3 2 large pulp, paper and wood product mills (!TT , R--ayovh~, Dais~c,::'a A,,merica Njpl~on Industries, and K-Ply), and commercial areas with a fairly well defined Central Business District (CBD). Community facilities include 10 public school fac/I/ties (including a college), a I26-bed hospital, I public library, I fire station, I pol/ce station, g-7 22 parks faeitit4es, the Senior Services Community Center, the William Shore Memorial Pool, the Vern Burton Community Center, Ocean View Cemetery, I private golf course, 3 cultural centers (Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, Arthur D. Fiero Marine Lab, and the Clallam Couhty Historical Society Museum), the William R. Fairchild International Airport, 2 ferry terminals (Coho Ferry and Victoria Rapid Transit), a 16.1 acre boat haven, {housing approximately 56~ 355 boats with 74 boat houses, and 3,000 feet of dock for tie-ups), and public boat yard for repair and maintenance. The Comprehensive Plan divides the City into 8 planning areas. For the purpose of description, the individual planning areas are identified as the Harbor, Northwest, Southwest, North Central, South Central, East, Eastern Urban Growth Area and Southw~CCestern Urban Growth Area planning areas. These areas are located on Figure 3 and are described as follows. The Harbor planning area contains the Coast Guard Station, the Port and Salmon Club boat ramps, Ediz Hook Park, and Daisl:c, wa Nippon Industries Mill on Ediz Hook. The historic downtown and waterfront are also essential parts of this sub area. The boat haven marina, log export terminal, the K-Ply mill, the Coho Ferry terminal, and City Pier, an~ Rayonier Mi!I line the waterfront. The Rayonier M/II site was closed in 1997 and is undergoing site remediation for clean-up of materials left from the previous mill operation. The site will become available for redevelopment in the future. Entertainment activities (movie theater, bookstores, antique shops, galleries, an historic under~ound tour and restaurants) abound within the pedestrian oriented central business district. The Northwest planning area covers the western edge of town lying beyond Tumwater Creek and north of the airport. This area is comprised largely of older homes, however, recent growth pressure has ]ed to new subdivisions and home construction in the area. There is a commercial 296 area serving the residents along C Street. A pocket of industrial/commercial activities are is located,~long the Tumwater Truck Route/Highway 101 junction. This area of town has lift'ted access because of the Tumwater Creek ravine and the bluffs. It also has the largest' segment of undeveloped residential land within the current City limits. The Southwest planning area includes Fairchild International Airport, the Clallam County Fairgrounds and Lincoln Park. Industrial development is located at the airport industrial park. A few homes lie within the City limits along Lower Elwha Road, but otherwise this planning area contains predominantly industrial and park (recreation) land uses. The North Central planning area is the older more denser portion of town. It is an area divided by Valley,' Peabody and Ennis/White's Creek ravines. It contains all of the municipal buildings, and Clallam County building and courthouse, and the recently renovated Carnegie Library. The commercial uses along Lincoln Street provide community shopping opportunities. Recreation is provided by a number of parks. Much of the city's multifamily housing is within this planning area. The South Central planning area is the area of town with newer homes, on larger lots. This is where the street pattern changes from traditional blocks to cul-de-sacs. Many views of Port Angeles Harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca are available. The Port Angeles High School lies within this planning area. The Olympic National Park Headquarters and Visitors Center i.s along the Heart of the Hills Road. The East planning area is the area of the existing city limits easterly of Race Street. This area has a mix of older homes and newer residential subdivisions and development, as well as a portion of the main commercial corridor. Marine views from upper elevations are possible, along with mountain views. This planning area includes Peninsula College facilities and Peninsula Golf Club. The Eastern Urban Growth Area is generally the area east of the city limits. Remnant properties in the UGA that are located south of the city limits and east of Valley Creek are considered to be in this area until mmexation occurs whereby they will be considered to be part of the adjacent planning area. Policies for this planning area are adopted by Clallam County as a part of the Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan. The Western Urban Growth Area is generally the area west and south of the city limits. Remnant properties in the UGA that are located south of the city limits and west of Valley Creek are considered to be in this area until annexation occurs whereby they will be considered to be part of the adjacent planning area. Policies for this planning area are adopted by Clallam County as a part of the Pon Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan. The Regional Transportation Planning Organization has designated Port Angeles as a primary_ center of mixed use development and the Urban Growth Areas as secondary center of mixed use development in the Regional Transportation Plan. Goals and Policies in the Growth 297 Management Element of this Comprehensive Plan support focusing new growth and mixed use opportunities in the City and UGA The DEIS provides a detailed analysis of the existing use and Supply of land in the City as well · as a comparison of population/growth projection methods used for determining future land use needs represented in the Land Use Element. Again, for an in-depth analysis of these issues, one Should refer to DEIS. For the purpose of this descriPtiOn, the following figures show how the land within the city is currently used, how it is zoned, and a comparison of the two. Figure 4 shows the number of acres and the percent of the CitY's land that is actually used for residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses or contain significant physical features. Figure 5 shoWS the current number of vacant acres (thOse located in identified critical areas and those Which are not and therefore considered buildable) and developed acres in each of the CitY's zoning districts. Update the above information as necessarv 298 CITY PLANNING AREAS MAP ~ (Bla.k Page) ACREAGE BY TYPE OF LAND USE FIGURE 4 FIGURE 5 299 Figure 6 compares the current amount of land zoned for residential, commercial, industrial and public uses with the amount of land currently used for those same purposes, regardless of the land's zoning. Housing (update housing analysis) In 1990, 7,553 dwelling units were located in Port Angeles. By 1992 the dwelling units had increased by 422 units (or 5.6%) to a total of 7,975 dwelling units. By 2004 the dwelling units have increased by another 797 units (or 10%) to a total of 9,479. Historically, from 1980 to 1990 the total dwelling units increased from 7,288 to 7,553. However, more remarkable is the shift that took place toward more multifamily units and mobile homes. Between 1980 and 1990, single family units (not including mobile homes) grew at a rate of 6 percent (or an average annual rate of 0.6 percent). Mobile home units grew at a rate of 23 percent from 1980 to 1990 (or an average annual rate of 2.3 percent). Multifamily units grew at a rate of 12 percent from 1980 to 1990 (or an average annual rate of 1.2 percent). This suggests that the cost of housing and the general reduction in household size may have placed the demand on smaller and less expensive units. While the multifamily housing growth percentage is significant, the total inventory of dwelling units is still predominated by single family residences. Transportation (Comment on consistency with the RTP and 1487 Regulations) The road network in the City of Port Angeles is characterized by a grid pattern that is oriented east-west (parallel to the waterfront) and north-south. This pattern shifts slightly south of Lauridsen Blvd. where the streets shift to match the platting pattern established by the County before the City boundaries were expanded. The regular geometry of this pattern is generally retained, except where the topography of the foot hills, the deep ravines or the bluffs along the Straight of Juan de Fuca cause the road realignment. The street pattern is shown on Figure 7. The street grades are moderate in most areas, as they adapt to the topography which goes up from the waterfront and gently undulates as the foothills flatten to meet the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The most unique characteristic of the street network is the way it is interrupted by several deep ravines which bisect the east-west street network resulting in a limited number of streets that run continuously from one end of the City to the other. There is-eme are three routes of regional significance through the City (State Route 101, State Route 117 Tumwater Truck Route, and Race Road leading to the Olympic Park Visitor Center and Hurricane Ridge). There is one designated truck route in the City that runs from east to west along the Front/First Street couplet to Tumwater Truck Route (State Route 117) and along Tumwater Truck Route south to SR 101. The link from SR 101 to the Coho Ferry terminal (South Lincoln Street/Railroad Avenue) is also a si.e:nificant connection. 300 LAND USE & ZONING ACREAGE COMPARISON (Within City limits) FIGURE 6 CITY STREET MAP (I 1. 301 The Ci~ of Port Angeles is served by Clallam Transit, the Public Transit Benefit Area Agency that serVesr the Clallam County with a combination of scheduled and para-transit services. Clallam Transit currently identifies four routes that circulate within the City limits. These routes all originate at the Oak Street and Railroad Avenue terminus in the downtown area. The four routes provide service to east City limits at the Plaza shopping center, the west side to the Elwha Tribal Center and Fairchild International Airport, the near west side to the fairgrounds, and south through the central portion of the City to Ahlvers Road. ~ A second function is to move people between Port Angeles and other smaller cities on the Peninsula. The Port of Port Angeles is responsible for the port operations along the waterfront, including ownership of the Black Ball Ferry Terminal, the boat haven, and other properties iupporting water related industry, and at the Fairchild International Airport including the Airport Industrial Park. The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located southwest of the central city and serves a combination of commercial and private aviation demands in the region. Total'enplanements . haVe nearly tripled since 1983 with the most sigmifi~afi~ increase in the late 1980's. There has been a slow but Steady inCreaSe in the enplanemenis th~fl 0riginate or end in pOrt Angeles. Because of its international status, this airport has a unique market for passengers traveling between Canada and the United States. With a full time U.S. and Immigration staff, regional airlines serving Victoria stop in Port Angeles for clearance to avoid the congestion and delay at SeaTac. Air Cargo is an ever increasing component of airport operations with a 58 percent increase in air freight tonnage in the past 10 years. The two runway airport is well situated to serve increased volume because the long runways remaining from this original military airfield can serve the trend to larger aircraft. Land uses surroundin~ the William R. Fairchild International Airport include residential, industrial and open space. The main landing approach area for the airport is over the most densely populated portion of the City, located east of the airport. The area to the west of the airport (the primary take-off area contains the City's landfill. This landfill is currently planned to be closed in 2006 and converted into a so]id waste transfer station to reduce the hazards associated with conflicts between airplanes and scavenger birds feeding at the landfill. Farther to the west, the area is located in the County and is zoned Rural Low and Moderate density and Rural Character Conservation (RCC3) to maintain low-density residential areas in the flight path area. The lands adjacent to the airport on both the north and south are designated and zoned as industrial to minimize the impacts that may be expected from more intensive land uses adjacent to an airport. Urban Services (Add statement about regional water supply) The Port Angeles Police Department currently provides police protection within the city limits of Port Angeles and operates PENCOM, the emergency dispatch for eastern Clallam County. The police headquarters are located at City Hall. The Department has 54 53.5 personnel, of which 302 29 are sworn officers and 5.5 are volunteers. The Port Angeles Fire Department currently provides fire and Medic I protection within the city limits of Port Angeles. The headquarters are located at 5th and Laurel Streets. The department has 24 23 full-time personnel, of which 4-9 15 are fire fighters, seven six of which maintain paramedic certification, and all are emergency medical technicians. The City Parks and Recreation Department maintains over 194 acres of park land, 14 playground equipment sites, 13 baseball and/or softball fields, 9 football fields and/or soccer Belds, 12 tennis courts, and an indoor pool. The City also provides excellent general recreation and senior activity programs, and; ....... *~ ...... ' .... '; ........ c~;~./r- ...... ;,., r,~,~. A review of the parks and recreation facilities is included in the DEIS, and the location of the facilities is shown on Figure 8. The City of Port Angeles water service area includes the land within the city boundaries, along with services within Clallam County P.U.D. No. l, 50 52 Dry Creek customers, 5 Black Diamond customers, and one government accoufll outside the , city limits. The City also provideds wholesale water to P.U.D. No. 1. In the City's ! 985 2002 Water Comprehensive Plan, the future service area limit was from Morse Creek to the Elwha River and bordered on the south by the Olympic National Park. The current water supply for the City is from the Elwha River. The Elwha River Ranney Well System with a minimum yield of 11 million gallons was constructed in 1987 1977. This source provides for domestic and commercial and some industrial needs of the City. There is also a separate industrial water supply line for the mills. The source is a small diversion dam on the Elwha River approximately eight miles from the city limits. Water treatment plants are being planned to treat the Elwha River waters once the Elwha dams are removed in 2006. The City maintains all public storm sewers and culverts. The City maintains the WSDOT conduits and culverts along Highway 101 within the city limits. The City has only limited legal access to all cf the built or natural drainage courses throughout the city. Public access is available for some of the sites and areas. Sanitary or combined sewers serve approximately 3,700 acres in Port Angeles. The city has mostly 8-inch local sanitary sewers and even some small 6-inch. However, the city's original 303 collection system was designed as a combined sewer system with storm water. This occurs primarily in old downtown in an area approximately bounded by the waterfront on the north, Valley Street on the west, Peabody Street on the east and 6th Street on the south. There were no storm sewers in the city until the 1959% 1950's. The existing storm sewer system grew in bits and pieces as individual renovation projects and LIDs responded to local problems. The storm sewers lhemse!:'es are sma!! are 6" and 8" diameter do due to the steep terrain of the city. The existing storm sewers run primarily in the north/south "short block" orientation picking up catch basins which happen to be at the east/west "long block" intersections. .~ ........................................ c0nn ..... ., ~ ~ summa~, the old downtown has combined sewers and the rest of the city has v~ng de~ees ofpa~ially separated sewers. The sewage collection system bas 10 pumping stations. Eight are operated and maintained by the City, with Rayonier and Daishowa Nippon Industries mills each having one private pump. Three of the City's stations are along the main interceptor leading to the treatment plant. The existing interceptor system was constructed in 1969 for the purpose of eliminating six major and numerous minor outfalls of raw sewage into Port Angeles Harbor. These outfalls are now used/'or the combined sewer overflows. Overflows occur during high intensity storm conditions because of the hydraulic limitations of the interceptor system. Newer storm systems are separated from sanitary_ sewer systems. The treatment plant is located on a 3.5 acre site on the eastern city limit of Port Angeles and just east of the former Rayonier mill site. The treatment plant ,Mit-be was completed in A-phi 1994 to provide secondary level treatment of sewage and q-~ $,~ nnn t~nn ~,,:~.~ .... · · ...... ,~-,,,,,--,~ v,-,~ ...... s expanded to accommodate 10.6 million gallons peak capacity per day of sewage.

Solid waste services are provided by the Solid Waste Utility through the Port Angeles Public Works Department. Refuse collection is mandatory for the residents of Port Angeles. The City of Port Angeles also has a po]icy of not accepting quantities of out-of-county waste at the Port Angeles landfill. The City of Port Angeles owns and operates the Port Angeles landfill. This site provides disposal services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers throughout Clallam County. In addition to disposal, a recycling program is conducted at the landfill site. White goods, aluminum, glass, cardboard, newsprint, catalogues, magazines, used oil, and used car and truck batteries are the primary target materials. The landfill is scheduled to be closed in 2006. Transfer facilities are being planned to be in place at the time of closure. Following closure all waste will be transported to regional landfills in Eastern Washington. 304 Port Angeles C--it-y Light Utility is the electric power provider within the city limits. Clallam County P.U.D. is the electric power provider for the unincorporated areas surrounding Port Angeles. However, there are several areas outside the City that the City ~ serves. These include an area near the Peninsula Golf Course, homes south of the City along Mount Angeles Road, west of the airport and the Fairmont Trailer Park. The power used by both Port Angeles City Light and Clallam County P.U.D. is delivered by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPi) via its transmission lines. The PUD has one substation within the PAUGA at Monroe Street. There are 8 electrical substations within the City of Port Angeles. The Port Angeles School District Number 121 serves the City of Port Angeles and its surrounding community. The District operates six elementary schools, two middle schools (grades 6-8), one comprehensive high school, one alternative high school, and is host to the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. and ~-= the City of Port Angeles there are three elementary schools; these are Frank]in Elementary, Hamilton Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary. Stevens Middle School, and Port Angeles High School: prov:,~,.,,. ....... o,-,--,,,-,,~*.,a .... ..,~...~....,,,a .... ':^- and Choice Alternative School provide for secondary education. The Skills Center, working closely with Peninsula College, provides the latest vocational/technical education in a competency based learning environment. The Peninsula Community College is a m,o-ye~ comprehensive community college located in Port eles., Peninsula College offers four transfer de~rees: an Associate of Arts, Associate of Arts Honors, Associate of Science Transfer, and Associate in Applied Science CT degree. Certificate programs are also available in the college's 18 Professional Technical programs. The campus is located at the east edge of the city. By partnering with community organizations and other institutions of higher education, Pemnsula College ]s helping to enhance and strengthen educational and training opportunities for everyone on the peninsula. Recent initiatives include developing the Applied Environmental Technologies Center of Excellence by working in collaboration with several local entities, including the Clallam County Economic Development Council and private businesses, collaborating with the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center and Business Incubator Network to provide training programs for young people, the work force, and growing local businesses, and partnering with the Workforce Development Council to provide services to expand the use of technology in the Medical Assistant Program and to provide training as part of the Work Source Affiliate Site. Peninsula College also collaborates with several-four-year colleges and universities to provide opportunities for local residents to earn bachelor de,m'ees on the peninsula. These collaborations include a new partnership with Western Washington University's award-winning Huxley College of the Environment that allows peninsula residents to earn their B.A and B.S. degrees on the Peninsula College campus without having to leave the area or face long commutes to 305 Bellingha~:n. The program will c, ommence effective with the start of the 2004 fall quarter. It is also possi~ole to earn a bachelor s degree in education. Collaboration with City University allows Olyrnpic Peninsula residents to earn a bachelor's degree in education, University of Washin,eton--Bothell allows individuals to earn a bachelor's degree in Nursing, Washington State University allows residents to earn eleven different degrees via distance learning, and the East Jefferson Education Consortium allows individuals to pursue a variety of de_gree opportunities through the 12 universities and educational organizations that have partnered with Peninsula College in this consortium. The partnering entities, in addition to Peninsula College, include Centrum Center for the Arts, Chapman University Bangor Campus, City University, Port Townsend Marine Science Center, Southern Illinois University Program in Workforce Education and Development offered at Bangor, University of Washington, Washington State University, and Western Washington University. .................... e ................... its ................... programs ....

Economic Development Clallam County and the City of Port Angeles are rich in natural resources. The Olympic Peninsula has proved to be one of the country's most productive timber growing areas, while the Strait of Juan de Fuca has provided the area with a vast fishery. However, recent declines in these resource industries has had a maior impact on the economy of both Clallam County and the City of Port Angeles. The Rayonier mill closed in 1997 putting up to 200 people out of work. The decline of salmon and the subsequent listing of Chinook salmon, and bull trout as endangered species has reduced the commercial fishing industry dramatically. These economic declines are being replaced to some extent by service industries that are driven by tourism and the popularity of the Olympic Peninsula as a retirement destination. Port Angeles is also striving to strengthen its marine trades and industries. A new boat builder, Westport Shipyard, recently located a yacht manufacturing facility in Port Angeles. In the past, the area's natural resources provided the majority of jobs in the area. The largest manufacturing firms in Clallam County are all located in Port Angeles or the PAUGA. D ......... Currently, Nippon Industries employees 270, and K-Ply Plywood employees 175 and Crown Pacific employees another 96:}. Port Angeles' newest employer, Westport Shipyard now employees approximately 200 The~e ~' ......... :,~o ,, ........... ~_~ ..... ~ ^c ...... :~,, ~ aaa .... ~ Major shipments of forest products to Japan, Korea, and China have historically provided a strong market, bolstering the log export segment 306 of the loc~tl economy. Export and old growth harvesting are expected to be reduced significantly in cominglyears dUe to various government restrictions. In light of the recent developments in the timber and fishery industries, it is important for Port Angeles to develop and improve its other economic resources, such as tourism and manufacturing. Port Angeles 'is part of a major international tourist route. The presence of the Ol .ympic National Park with over three million visitors a year, t-he two ferry terminals and with service to Victoria and Vancouver Island which carries approximately 500,000 passengers per year, combined with the local freshwater and ocean sport fishing brings a steady flow of tourists to the City, creating an important economic resource. In general, the local economy appears to be relatively stable despite much uncertainty in the timber harvesting and log exports. Growth in the retirement community has been continuing, and tourism is expanding rapidly. The forest products industry will most likely stabilize at a lower level of activity. . 307 308 DEFINITIONS General Comments The following definitions are for terms, which are used in the document and are provided for clarification purposes in the interpretation and implementation of the various goals and policies.

( ROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT / General Comments This Comprehensive Plan has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the State Growth Management Act. The City has met all of the Act's required deadlines for compliance and has participated with Clallam County, the City of Forks, the City of Sequim, the Tribes and various other, agencies in the development of a County-Wide Planning Policy. Early in the planning process the City agreed with the County to address only area~ within the current city limits in the City's Comprehensive Plan and to work with the County on a Joint Comprehensive Plan for the Urban Growth Area. On April 13, 1993, the Board of Clallam County Commissioners adopted an Interim Port Angeles Urban Growth Area (see Figure 9). When completed, the Joint Comprehensive Plan for the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area will identify land use designations and locations. The following goals and policies are included in the Comprehensive Plan to insure continued compliance with the Growth Management Act and compatibility with the County's Comprehensive Plan outside of the PAUGA. Goals, Policies, and Objective Goal ' A. To manage growth in a responsible manner that is beneficial to the community as a whole, is sensitive to the rights and needs of individuals and is consistent with the State of Washington's Growth Management Act. Policies 1. In all its actions and to the extent consistent with the provisions of this comprehensive plan, the City shall should strive to implement the following goals of the State Growth Management Act: a. Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. b. Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. c. Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans. d. Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population. Promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock. e. Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the region that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the region's natural resources, public services and public facilities. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan'l,a ] ~' Growth Management Element Page 38 f.' Property rights. Private property should not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners should be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. g. Permits. Applications for both state and local government permits should be processed in a timely and fair manner to ensure predictability. h. Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. i. Open space and recreation. Encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks. j. Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water. k. Citizen parti.cipation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the plarming process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts. 1. Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development should be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. m. Historic preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites and structures that have historical or archaeological significance. 2. The Port Angeles Urban Growth Area (PAUGA) should be established based at a minimum upon land use demand as determined by the Clallam County 20-year population forecast for Clallam County and specified sub-areas, so long as the county-wide forecast is not less than the most recent forecasts available from the State Office rofFinancial Management. 3. The City sLa!! should work with the County to develop an annexation plan which allows the annexation of land characterized by urban development and which is consistent with the extension of services and the land development policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Capital Facilities Plan. 4. The City should work with the County to ensure appropriate techniques for managing future growth consistent with the urban density, such as a minimum density within the PAUGA and a maximum density outside the PAUGA. A range of densities should be provided by the City for lands within the PAUGA, including some lands for relatively low density single-family development and some lands at a range of densities both allowing and encouraging multi-family development. 5. Urban services/facilities s~al! should be provided consistent with the Capital Facilities Element. 6. The City should work with the County and other service providers to determine the appropriate levels of service for such facilities and services and to ensure consistency between service provision within the City, the PAUGA, and the County. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan~ ] 8 Growth Management Element Page 39 7. The City's preferred policy is to recognize a density of one unit per acre as urban/suburban and to use this density as the demarcation between urban and rural for purposes of establishing or amending the PAUGA; however, the City will continueto discuss this issue with the County with the goal of arriving at a consistent City/County policy prior to finalization of the UGA. 8. The PAUGA should include areas characterized by urban growth adjacent to the existing City boundaries and should take into account the area's physical features. 9. Land designated for commercial or industrial uses which encourage adjacent urban development shall should be located within the PAUGA. 10. The amount of acreage designated, for commercial, industrial, or other non- residential uses within the PAUGA shall should be based upon the Land Use Element and Economic Development Element in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 11. The PAUGA should be established to avoid critical areas, unless addressed as part of the Ci,ty's Comprehensive Plan, and to exclude resource lands. 12. Urban services to be provided within the PAUGA should include, at a minimum, sanitary sewer systems, solid waste collection/disposal systems, water systems, urban roads and pedestrian facilities, street cleaning services, transit systems, stormwater systems, police and fire and emergency services systems, electrical and communication systems, school and health care facilities, and neighborhood and/or community parks. 13. The City should be the ultimate provider of urban services within the City limits and the PAUGA for those services the City provides except to the extent otherwise provided i'n a UGA Urban Services and Development Agreement that is reached pursuant to the County-Wide Planning Policy. 14. Urban services/facilities for which the City is the ultimate provider should be provided and constructed to meet the design and construction standards of the City. ~ 15. The City or service provider should demonstrate the financial capability for continued operation of the facility following construction. 16. Regulations to protect critical areas which occur within the PAUGA should be developed to ensure protection of such areas. 17. All development regulations s~a!! should be promulgated with due regard 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. New 18. The City and County should together designate and set aside additional lands on the west side of the City for industrial purposes, both inside the City limits and in the UGA. New 19. The City should establish performance measures to review progress toward accommodating ~owth and to ensure appropriate actions are taken to achieve the goals of our community. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan"a,a 'l 9 Growth Management Element Page 40 \ Objective 1. The City will continue its efforts to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of the State Growth Management Act. 2. The City will work with Clallam County and affected special districts to extend the eastern PAUGA boundary from its current location at the west rim of the Morse Creek Canyon to include the areas zoned GC, R-l, and RLC as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhil3it A, including the Deer Park Road right-of-way south of the GC zoning. New 3_. The City will recommend expansion of the southwestern Urban Growth Area to include the area between Edgewood Drive to U.S. 101 from the City limits to Laird Rd. (RCC3, RCC5, RLC, and RNC zones east of Laird Rd., plus the area west of Laird Rd. currently zoned by Clallam County as RNC New 4_. The City will conduct a Buildable Lands Inventory to examine the need for UGA expansions. ' Goal B. To ensure the orderly transition of land within the PAUGA into the City of Port Angeles. Policies , 1. Am~exation 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 ............ adopted Aannexation laws. 3.Annexation of land, which is not adjacent to and/or contiguous with the established City Limits boundary-line, shall should not be allowed. 4. At the time of annexation, the City shall should appropriately classify and zone such land, based upon the City Comprehensive Land Use Map and the City Comprehensive Plan. Thereafter, the provisions, restrictions, and requirements of City Ordinance #1709, The Port Angeles Zoning Code, shall apply to development of the annexed area. 5. Annexation and development of land shall should 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 should be allowed in which existing development cannot meet the established concurrency requirements of the City within six years from the time of annexation. 7. No annexation of land shall should be allowed which results in decreased minimum standards for City streets, water service, sewer service, and/or electrical service provided to existing residents of the City. 8. No annexation of land should be allowed which results in decreased minimum standards for City solid waste collection, stormwater management programs, The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan~ 20 Growth Management Element Page 41 emergency services and/or telecommunication services provided to existing residents of the City. 9. Annexation boundaries should be drawn to eliminate boundary, interjurisdictional, and service problems. 10. Necessary rights-of-way and easements should be obtained prior to or at the time of am~exation.. New 11. The City should facilitate any annexation in a manner that will minimize financial impact to all residents and businesses. New 12. The City should annex its urban growth areas as facilities are extended into those areas and as new urban development takes place. Objectives: 1. The City w, ill work with Clallam County and affected special districts to develop fair and equitable interlocal revenue sharing agreements to insure the orderly transition of land within the PAUGA into the City. 3. As the ultimate provider of urban services within the City limits and the urban growth areas, the City will work with Clallam County and the affected special districts to facilitate economic growth and new residential construction and to encourage mmexation of land within the PAUGA into the City. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plar~2 ] Growth Management Element Page 42 \ V. L AND.USE ELEMENT General Comments The Land Use Element establishes City policy regarding how land may be developed. This element and its Land Use Map establishes the following six comprehensive plan land use categories: Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Open Space. These land use categories are described below and located on the Land Use Map (See Figure 10). Low Density Residential (Up to 9 7 Units per Net Acre) The Land Use Map identifies three separate categories of residential development. The first is ' Low Density Residential which allows an overall residential density ora project or property to range up to 9 7_ units per ~ acre. The high majority of residentially designated property in the City will be of this designation. It is intended for the development of single family homes., It also allows for the development of duplexes and planned residential developments in accordance with the underlying zoning. Medium Density Residential Error! Bookmark not defined. (Up to t-5 13 Units per Net Acre) The primary intent of this designation is for the development of multiple residential unit projects including but not limited to duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, apartments and planned residential developments at a density up to -1-5 13 units per met acre. High Density Residential (Up to 43 39 Units per-Net Acre, Except that Existing Motel or Hotel Units May Be Convened to Residential Units at a Density Greater than4-3 39 Units per Net Acre) The primary intent of this designation is for development at a density up to 43 39 units per met acre and is intended for areas where a higher concentration of residents is compatible with the surrounding area and uses. Condominiums, apartments, and planned residential developments are the types of building designs appropriate for this category. Commercial The Land Use Map contains one commercial category, thus providing maximum flexibility to the City's Zoning Ordinance in regulating the types of commercial uses and their permitted locations. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 43 322 Industri&l The Land Use Map al,s.o designates only one industrial category, thus again providing maximur) flexibility to the City s Zoning Ordinance in regulating the types of industrial uses and their permitted locations. ' ~ 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 development of natural open space areas should be limited to only that which is necessary and does not degrade the significance of the area. Land Use Map Goal, Policies, and Objective Goal A To guide current and future development within the City in a manner that pr. ovides certainty to its citizens about future land use and the flexibility necessary to meet the . challenges and opportunities of the future. Policies 1. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be used as a conceptUal guid~ for determining current and long range zoning and other land use decisions. The map's land use designations 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. Objective 1. 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. Residential Goals and Policies Goal B. To have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 44 Policies 1. Urban services shall should be available for all residential areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. 2. Single family lots should be of reasonable shape and should have access provided by an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial. New 3. Large lots should allow for future subdivisions at the densities permitted for the zone in which they are located. protection and se~ice vehicle access as key factors in street desi~ and circulation pattern. For efficient circulation, rights-of-way should be obtained and improvements made to fu~her the ~id street pattern in the central Townsite area of the City. Cul-de-sacs and cu~,ilinear streets may be pe~itted when desired as an inte~al pa~ of the major ~d street pattern in the outlcng areas of the City, where Iow impact development standards may apply. 4fi. All residential developments should be encouraged to prese~e ~d capitalize on existing unusual, unique, and interesting natural, historic, archaeological, anWor cultural features, should prese~e and utilize natural vegetation, should utilize and prese~e scenic views, should maximize southern exposures and solar efficiency, should offer protection from prevailing winds, and should be desired to minimize energy use. 57._ Pla:me~ ~,.,~-;* ~, ~,~v,-~-~ TM .... ~ ...... ~ an~, Pla~ed Residential Development teclmiques should emphasize the overall density of the development rather than lets or ~ minimum lot sizes. Goal C. To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential oppo~unities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjo~ent, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. Policies 1. Residential land should be developed on the district and neighborhood concept. Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a unifo~ density, a healthy, viable district should be composed of residential uses The City ofPo~ ~geles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 45 of varying densities, which may be augmented, by subordinate and compatible uses. Single family and multi-family homes, parks and open-spaces, schools, churches, daycare and residential services, home occupations, and district shopping areas are all legitimate components of district development and enhancement. A neighborhood should be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing. 2. Medium and hi'gh density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services,'public facilities, and transportation. 3. Medium and high density housing, should be served by arterial streets of sufficient size in order to satisfy traffic demand and to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion. 4. Medium and high density housing could be a transitional use between different land uses, provided such other uses would not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing. 5. Medium and high density housing policies should apply to mobile home parks. 6. Manufactured homes homes that meet current state regulations should be treated as ~ site constructed housing for land use zonine purposes. Objective 1. The City will develop a Residential, Single Family (RS-12) zone with minimum 12,000 square foot lots. Commercial Goals and Policies Goal D. To create and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy. Policies 1. The City should encourage new and existing commercial developments and businesses, which are consistent with the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan. 2. Public uses such as government offices, public service buildings, and other public and quasi-public facilities and services may should be allowed in commercially designated areas. 3. The City should vacate rights-of-way to facilitate retention of existing businesses and location of new businesses where land assembly is necessary to achieve the desired urban design of the City. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 46 325 t Objectives 1. The City will work with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe to develop a cultural center and marina for large pleasure boats in Port Angeles Harbor. 2. The City will develop an Ediz Hook master plan that designates land uses, improves public access to shorelines, abates deteriorating structures, and allows for expanded recreational and commercial uses. 3. The City will develop a Commercial Regional (CR) zone to allow and encourage land intensive commercial uses (e.g. large regional shopping centers or "big box" stores), where sufficient vacant, buildable, commercial designated land and adequate transportation facilities exist. Goal E. To provide shopping opportunities which meet the needs of all City residents and visitors 'in safe, usable shopping areas that are compatible with the surrounding area and use~;, the environment, and the desired urban design of the City. Policies 1. Urban services shall should be available for all commercial areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. , 2 New commercial developments should ' -,~,~,~ ......................................... v ............... ow a custer configuration rather than a strip pattern. 3. Commercial development should buffer its impacts on adjacent residential uses. Where commercial development is adjacent to residential uses, the commercial development should incorporate dements in the site design to soften the impacts on the residential uses. 4. Service access should be distinct from parking areas and separated from pedestrian areas wherever and whenever possible to accommodate pedestrian and vehicular traffic. 5.Commercial development outside the Highway 101 corridor should not be in a strip pattern. 6.New Comprehensive Plan commercial area designations should not be located along the alternate local crosstown route or the crosstown truck route. 7. District shopping areas should be located at the intersections of arterial streets of sufficient size to satisfy traffic demand and at the boundaries of neighborhoods so that more than one neighborhood may be served. 8. District Neighborhood shopping area uses should may be allowed in residentially designated areas as long as they are in accordance with the planning area/district/neighborhood land use concept and as long as they do not encourage The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 47 326 traffic from outside the district neighborhood or increase traffic congestion within residential neighborhoods. Objective 1. The City will increase the commercial area available for development of new businesses or the expansion of existing businesses by extending the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone a half block to include the whole blocks north of Front Street (from Francis Street east to White's Creek Ravine) and south of First Street (from Eunice Street east to Chambers Street). Goal F. To'provide a pleasant, safe, and attractive shopping environment in the traditional downtown waterfront area which provides a wide variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and housing opportunities for visitors and residents alike. Policies 1. Commercial development in the traditional downtown should reeml~hasize its , waterfront location and historic heritage, should be oriented to pedestrians and tourists, and should provide maximum enjoyment of the environment and public amenities as well as protection from adverse weather conditions. 2. The City should continue to promote improvements to the traditional down{own area, through beautification projects and in cooperation with downtown business merchants. 3. Residential uses should be encouraged for the downtown area as part of a mixed- use development concept. 4. The City should work with the Port Angeles Downtown Association to develop urban design review guidelines that facilitate architectural elements/features, which should encourage complimentary and aesthetically pleasing new development in the Central Business District (CBD). Objectives 1. The City will assist the Chamber of Commerce and the Port Angeles Downtown Association in developing heritage tourism and the Downtown an histe, ric underground .... 2. The City will assist the Chamber of Commerce and the Port Angeles Downtown Association in developing a waterfront promenade along the Downtown waterfront. 3. The City will encourage community events such as holiday ceremonies, town gatherings, arts and crafts displays, and special business activities such as a Farmer's Marker during the tourist season, particularly in the Downtown and on Laurel Street. The City of Port Aa~geles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 48 327 4. The City will consider various parking options to mitigate parking impacts fi.om the Gateway.Project and other Downtown projects. Industrial Goals and Policies Goal G. To create and maintain a' healthy and diverse industrial sector for a balanced and stable local economy. Policies 1. The City should promote a cooperative intergovernmental plan for comprehensive development of iodustrial infrastructure and amenities to attract and support light and heavy industry. 2. Office and commercial uses may be allowed in specific designated industrial areas. 3. The William R. Fairchild International Airport should be considered an essential public facility as referenced in Appendix B (Clallam County-Wide Planning Process). Goal H. To provide opportunities for industrial development in a manner which efficiently uses . the community's various attributes and natural resources, has minimal impact on the environment, and contributes to the City's quality of life, and is compatible with the desired urban design of the City. Policies 1. Urban services shall should be available for all industrial areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. 2. Infrastructure, which makes sites attractive and ready to develop, including transportation facilities and utilities, should be available at industrial parks. Industrial development should be encouraged to follow industrial park design concepts. 3. Industrial areas should buffer their impact to mitigate nuisance and hazardous characteristics such as noise, particulate matter in the air, water or odor pollution, or objectionable visual material. 4. Industrial activity should be located in two major areas: adjacent to the harbor and around the airport. 5. Because they are hazardous to the community and detrimental to the general environment of the area petroleum refineries, liquefied natural gas and liquefied The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 49 328 petroleum gas facilities, energy facilities, energy plants and their assOciated facilities and associated transmission facilities, as defined in Chapter 80.50 RCW, should not be permitted outside the heavy industrial use area and without conditional use review. 6. The City should discourage the siting of incompatible uses adjacent to the William R. Fairchild International Airport recognizing the need to coordinate airport related Uses and other existing land uses that are already established in the vicinity. Objectives 1. The City will develop an industrial marine (IM) zone for shoreline uses similar to the upland industrial park (IP) zone, which allows for mixed commercial and industrial uses. 2. The City will establish a Harbor Study committee comprised of private and public stakehblders in harbor uses and activities to review and revise the Harbor Resource Management Plan, considering changes that have occurred ha4he-pa~ ~2-year~-m,~l since its adoption and visions that now seem possible. New Goal I 'To facilitate and encourage redevelopment and reuse of large closed or isolated industrial areas within the City in a manner that fosters the local economy and a stable job base. New Policies I. The City should consider a wider range of uses for redevelopment of large closed or isolated industrial areas than would otherwise be permitted under industrial zoning, including mixed-use development, commercial development and/or residential development as well as industrial uses. 2_. The City shpuld consider proposals for any needed amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning concurrently with an application for a binding site plan for some or all of the site of a large closed or isolated industrial property, provided that any change to the comprehensive plan will be acted onas part of the City's annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle. The City should approve mixed-use or nonindustrial development of large closed or isolated industrial sites where it is shown that permitting a wider range of uses on the site will not contribute to or encourage the conversion of other industrial areas to nonindustrial use. New Objective 1_ The City will create a planned industrial development overlay zone for the purpose of allowing mixed-use development for large closed or isolated industrial sites. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Page 50 329 Open ~pace Goals, Policies, and Objective Goal t:.J To create open space for relief within the urban landscape, to retain natural landscapes, to preserve fish and wildlife habitat, and to provide natural corridors, which connect wildlife habitats.

Traffic flow modifications such as signalization, signing, parking restrictions, channelization, and one-way couplets should be made before physical alterations are made to existing streets. 2. The City should divert crosstown truck traffic around the downtown area. 3. The City should facilitate the development of a crosstown truck route with improvements, which provide full access to Highway 117 to and fi.om Highway 101, and improvements to the Lauridsen Boulevard Bridge over Peabody Creek and the intersections of Lauridsen Boulevard at Race Street and Highway 101. 4. The City should facilitate an additional route for local crosstown traffic along Lauridsen Boulevard across White's Creek ultimately connecting with Highway 101. The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element Page 55 334 5. In association with these two proposed crosstown routes the City should require adequate mitigation measures to reduce any negative impacts on existing land uses, includ!ng buffer areas, pedestrian sidewalks and crossings, bikeways, and reduced speeds. Amend 6. The City should facilitate the development of an alternate local crosstown route with improvements, which provide full access at Highway 101 and Highway 117 (the Tumwater Truck Route). Improvements should be made to the intersections of Lauridsen Boulevard at Lincoln and Peabody Streets. Improvements should be made to the Lauridsen Boulevard bridge over Peabody Creek. Improvement should be made for the development ora crossing over White's Creek. The City will should revise its developmeht regulations as necessary to preserve the right- of-way within an identified US 101 corridor. 7. Alternate local crosstown route and crosstown truck route improvements should be given a high priority in capital facility planning. 8. The Cit'y sha!! should coordinate with the State Department of Transportation, Clallam County, and the Peninsula Regional Transportation Planning Organization transportation planning efforts. This includes recognition of SR 101 and SR 117, along with connecting roadways of Front, Lincoln, Railroad, Oak, and First Streets to and from the ferry landings, and along Front Street and Marine Drive and First Street between SR 101 and SR 117, as transportation facilities of state-wide significance which are declared essential public facilities under the Growth management Act. Review of potential impacts these facilities and LOS standards will be incorporated with future updates to the City's Comprehensive Plan, as required bY the Act. 9. Traffic circulation to and from the airport and around associated industrial areas should be improved. 10. The City should complete the arterial circulation system for westside developme ~nt. 11. New arterial streets, local access streets, and alleys should be designed and constructed to conform to the Statewide National Functional Classification System for Federal Aid Systems, WSDOT, and Transportation Improvement Board minimum design standards and standards as adopted by the City. 12. Arterial street rights-of-way should be acquired by the City in advance of the time of development in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan's Circulation Plan Map. 13. Principal, minor, and collector arterial streets should be located on the edge of district boundaries wherever possible. 14. Off-street parking should be sufficient and accessible within business and residential areas to ensure that the traffic flow of the street is not impaired.

In commercially zoned areas, policies for consolidating access and providing for joint access and maintenance of driveways would be considered. 2. The City will develop a variety of funding techniques available for new development projects to provide mitigation for transportation impacts resulting from new development or redevelopment. The funding techniques could include but are not limited to developer provided right-of-way and partial improvement to the street along the frontage of their property, establishing a road development or trip end fee, use of latecomers agreements, waivers of protest to the formation of LID's and bonding. The intent would be to match the technique to the development circumstance in order for the City to fund the transportation improvements that ensure concurrency. Whichever approaches are taken, they must be equitable and proportional to the level of impact. 3. The City will develop road improvement design standards, which will include accommodation for pedestrians and non-motorized transportation. Pedestrian facilities design will be appropriate for the safety, volume and character of non-motorized/pedestrian traffic in each neighborhood or district. 4. The City will phase the implementation of the alternate local crosstown route and crosstown truck route in a west to east progression. 5.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT General Comments The Capital Facilities Element consists of two parts. The first part is the listing of goals and policies regarding the City's provision of urban services and its planning of capital improvements. The second part is the Annual Capital Facilities Plan which is adopted separately from the Comprehensive Plan but is included as part of the Plan as an attachment. The Comprehensive Plan defines urban services in its definition section, which includes a listing of the following services and facilities, which should be available in an urban environment: * Surface transportation facilities; * Water facilities; The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Conservation Element Page 73 352 I * Sewer facilities; · Stormwater facilities; · Solid waste facilities; · Parks and recreational facilities; · Emergency services (police, fire and medical response); · Public service buildings; · Public schools facilities; and · Regional facilities (libraries, corrections, and mass transit). The following goals and policies provide guidance on how these services and facilities should be provided. This includes the establishment of minimum levels of service standards for each service. The policies also call for the development of individual comprehensive service and facility plans which take an in-depth look at the current status of each service and the projected future demand for each service and which include a financial feasibility analysis on the costs of providing each service. The Capital Facilities Plan is a six-year plan, which establishes how, where, and when the City will develop the facilities necessary to provide its various services.

To provide urban services at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general public. Policies 1. The Port Angeles School District should develop a capital facilities plan, which the City will consider for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital facilities plan should contain at least a six-year plan for public financing of such facilities as may be necessary to provide adequate public schools at or greater than the following level of service standards in order to meet anticipated increases in student enrollment, which may be anticipated based on the School District's projected enrollment figures and residential growth as provided for in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan: High School: 125 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student, Middle School: 104 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student, and Elementary School: 100 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space per student. If capacity is inadequate to house students at the established level of service standards (LOS) and adequate school funding is not available, then the demand for new facilities will be reduced (e.g. through year round use of schools or by matching grade and enrollment to facility capacities) or the level of service standards will be reduced to keep both schools and housing development affordable to the majority of Port Angeles School District residents. Imposition of Growth Management Act impact fees on or denial of new development will not be used as a measure to prevent further degradation of school services, unless the reduced level of service standards are deemed unacceptable to Port Angeles School District No. 121, Clallam County, and the City of Port Angeles.

M: \STR E ET~NON -f, IOTOPJZE D.DWG · Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 4 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP -'CPA 04-02 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES: City wide amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's staff report identifying all of the proposed amendments and identified specific proposed amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map based on the public review process. Director Collins stated that Rayonier would not oppose that area above the bluff along Water Street being redesignated for residential development but would oppose any redesignation of the main mill area being anything but industrial at this time. Chair Hewins Opened the public hearing. Robbie Mantooth, 2238 E. Lindberg Road, stated her thanks for the opportunity to participate in review of the City,'s Comprehensive Plan update process as a newly annexed resident and noted that ihe effort that was made gathering information during the public participation process earlier in the year. She felt strongly that the Rayonier mill site should be cleaned up to a higher standard than industrial to allow for more variety of eventual uses. She encouraged more public parks now rather than in the future, a proactive approach to stream corridor restoration, a wider transportation corridor rather than an alternate crosstown route, and hoped that the annexation process could be structured such that others would desire to annex to the City who live in developing areas to avoid excessive septic tank usage. Finally, she noted that the most beautiful beach in the county is located within the shoreline of the Rayonier property and she encouraged the City to work with Rayonier to open the area to the public. Andy Brastad, 1622 Milwaukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA spoke in favor ora change in a residential area off Milwaukee Drive that is proposed to be redesignated from Residential Medium Density to Low Density Residential. He characterized the area as rural and hoped that it would remain so with relatively little future development. He appreciates the low impact development standards allowed for infrastructure development in the area. Ed Tuttle, 3909 Old Time Place, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition against annexation and noted that a like petition was being submitted to the County Commissioners asking the county to eliminate the City's eastern Urban Growth Area. He stated that he is not against future development of the area east of the Port Angeles city limits but does not want annexation. Instead, it is preferred that services be extended without annexation. The City should take care of what is already within the City limits before looking at annexation. Chair Hewins asked Mr. Tuttle what proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan he is addressing, to which Mr. Tuttle answered that he was addressing the eastern expansion of the UGA. Chair Hewins pointed oUt that the issue was discussed during last year's Plan changes and is not currently under consideration by the City. ,lack Anderson, Rayonier Mill, 700 North Ennis Street, spoke on behalf of the Rayonier Mill management and asked that the Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the mill site remain unchanged at this time. He explained that the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) clean up regulations outline only two methods of clean up: industrial and commercial. To identify the site as commercial would significantly slow redevelopment of the site. The Rayonier management prefers to allow a prospective purchaser and the property owner to agree to a clean up plan based on future use of the site and is not in favor ora redesignation at this time. 373 Planning Commission Miaules Ma), 12, 20~4 Page 5 A~a D'aughber, ] 636 Mil~4,aukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA agreed with a previous speaker regarding the redesignation of an area north of Milwaukee Drive being proposed for redesignation from RMD to LDR. The area is not prepared for higher density development and should remain rural and sparsely developed. Bill Henry, 2206 East Sixth Street, Port Angeles, WA was concerned that neither the County nor the City has proven to residents in the eastern UGA that there is a need to expand the City's boundary to the east. An excess of vacant residential land exists within the. City for development at this time without annexation. Residents in the eastern UGA would like to petition for a LAMRID (Limited Area of More Intensive Rural Development) and would like the City's support. Port Angeles should utilize vacant land before looking to annex additional area. The eastern UGA boundaries might better have been set at the existing City limits. 'At this point, Chair Hewins asked the speaker what item he was speaking to on the hearing agenda. Mr. Henry indicated that he was speaking to the entire scope of the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Hewins noted that expansion of the eastern UGA is not currently under consideration having been , decided during the review process in 2003. The expansion of the western UGA boundaries is an item under review. Mr. Henry presented written information to be entered into the hearing record to the Chair. Kathe Smith, 607 East Fourth Street, Port Angeles, WA strongly supported amendments to the Transportation Element as proposed. Harley Oien, 215 Rife Road, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition opposing expahsion of the western UGA boundary and urged the Commission to leave the area in the County for rural preservation. deff Bohman, 3 753 Canyon Circle, Port Angeles, WA represented the Peninsula Trails Coalition and spoke in favor of the proposed amendment to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. He encouraged that the Economic Development Element, in particular proposed Goal C, or the policies that derive from that goal, include the benefits of the Olympic Discovery Trail and other trails and parks as an element of the economic plan. He noted that some references in the 1990 Sheldon Wetland Report have become outdated. It has recently become apparent that the old report is not a comprehensive reflection of existing wetlands within the City boundaries. It may be appropriate to include wording in the Plan to recognize that site specific analysis should always occur whether or not the Sheldon report indicates that wetlands are present on a site. Jean Fairchild, 3524 Mt Pleasant Road, Port Angeles, WA represented herself and others in the audience on behalf of the Jet Set Soroptimist Club in support of changes to the Transportation Element. Hugh Haffner, 402 Goa Way Road, Port Angeles, WA suggested that some type of bonding be required of the Rayonier Mill owners to assure adequate clean up of the mill site. There being no further comment, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing and announced a break at 7:40 p.m. The meeting resumed at 7:50 p.m. Due to the number of other issues on the agenda, Commissioner Schramm moved to continue discussion of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendments to last on the agenda. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed unanimously. 374 Planning Commission Mimffes May 19, 2004 Page I PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP- CPA 04-02 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES: City wide amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map.

This would not preclude the City from using higher rates and cra'rent City policy is that any service extension outside of the City would pay 150% of the City rate. Commissioner Hewins pointed out that the policy is not intended to force anyone onto the sewer system but to provide an option for failing systems and an opportunity to build where septic systems would not work properly. Commissioner Rasmussen acknowledged that this is not a popular idea especially in the eastern UGA but that it is a necessary step for the City to take.

Discussion of this issue focused on whether the City should truck materials from the entire east end of the County through the City to the landfill site located on the extreme west side of the City and then truck the same materials back through the City a second time. It was suggested that possibly a .site on the east side of the City might relieve some of the trucking redundancy on the substandard 18~h Street. It was also pointed out that comments received during the public panicipalion process questioned this policy direction. The Commission recommended denial of this amendment based on a split 2 - 2 vote. Item 39. New Housing Element Policy A. 10. No Discussion. The Commission voted 4 - 0 to recommend approval. Item 40.

Director Collins indicated that highways of State-wide significance were identified in the Comprehensive Plan and that the level of service standards on the City and the State for roadways in the City were the same.

As you know we have been supporting Port Angeles for the last several years in planning for the extension of the Waterfront Trail west to meet the Olympic Discovery Trail at the west city limits. We have explored and evaluated numerous potential routes. We have conducted two , neighborhood meetings in West Port Angeles to inform residents about the trail and have reported comments and suggestions back to the city. Now the time has come to put firm plans in place. The Waterfront Trail is connected going east all the way to Sequim. The County is actively planning and building trail west of Port Angeles. We need to plan for completion of this trail link in the next 3-4 years. The route through west Port Angeles that utilizes Hill St, Fourth St. and the Milwaukee Road right of way all the way to the city limits at Lower EIwha Road and Kacee Way is the best route for the following reasons: 1. It is the most direct route 2. It has the best grade available 3. The city already owns all the right of way required 4. It has been a designated bike route in your comprehensive plan for several years 5. It provides a largely isolated route through this urban area, avoiding vehicle traffic 6. It currently sees significant usage as a bike and walking trail 7. It connects properly at the waterfront and with the county plans going west Route selection is the responsibility of the city, and we will, of course, support the city's selection. However the above considerations seem compelling to us. We believe the city should take the following specific steps this year: (1) Include the extension of the Waterfront Trail west to the city limits in the current comprehensive plan update. 382 Page 2 {gh Vt¢tahli~h, a nlannino nrni~t't in P,,hlle Works to p~n,,ido preliminaD, nlune and estimates. (3) Initiate e~ons to get federal and state ~nding grants for trail completion. If this link, which connects to ~he Olympic Discove~ Trail segments cu~ently being built by the county wesl of Pon ~geles, is not completed by 2007 it will begin to impact the ability to promote the tr~] and the hoped for economic impact from om of area trail users. A priority effo~ should be to establish a bridge over D~ Creek. We will be bringing recommendations on affordable ways ~o accomplish this ~o the city soon. As your plans pro~ess, please call on us for assistance and volunteer suppo~ at ~y point.

Specifically, we strongly recommend an Olympic Discovery Trail route along Hill Street to West 4t~ Street, and utilizing the entke length of Milwaukee Drive to Lower Elwha Road. Striped bicycle lanes are needed on West 4th Street and the initial paved section of Milwaukee Drive. Undeveloped portions of Milwaukee Drive need to be the subjecl of preliminary engineering studies to determine roadway cross sections and the permanem location of the Olympic Discovery Trail within the 100 foot righl away available. In the meantime, as the City's planning and funding come together for the permanent ODT route on Milwaukee Drive, we would like to recommend these interim options: A signed bike route v, dth painted bike lanes along N Street, intersecting with a separated bike/pedestrian path along the south side of 18~h Street which would connect to Milwaukee Drive. (Preliminary discussion between the Port Angeles Soroptimists and the Port of Port Angeles for use of this property has been encouraging.) A signed, graded, graveled path through the undeveloped portions of the existing Milwaukee Drive right-of-way for the use of pedestrians and fat tire bicycles. 384 Page 2 Clallam County is currently surveying the Trail beyond the Elwha River.

To finish this priceless resource locally, Port Angeles needs to settle on a route westward from the walerfront Io the west City'limits. The economic benefits o£the Ol>m~pic Discovery Trail are well-known. We have already seen several thousand visitors with the first marathon. The waterfront Trail'is in continuous use by residents and x4.sitors. The Trail is an economic boon to our community, and a tremendous asset for healthy living. Let's finish the job!

Comrnunity Development ennis@olypen.com May ] ], 2004 To: Port Angeles Planning Commi~ion, Planning Department, City Council From: Robbie Mantooth Subject: Comprehensive Appreciation First, I want to express appreciation for the work that has brought the updating of the Comprehensive Plan to this point. The effort to involve the public has been impressive. The scope of the recommendations also reflects broad vision as well as attention to details. Strongest support for proposed amendments The following proposals are especially important to my vision of what the City of Pon' Angeles should be as we head toward 2020. My vision focuses on ]ocations and concerns of particular interest, and I am grateful to those who have made sure other locations and concerns are well covered. Page 2, Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change, second bulleted item: Changing the Rayonier. mill properly to commercial seems essential to provide flexibility for this important site. 1 believe, and certainly hope, that such a change will prove to be in the long-term best interests of Rayonier, as well as the City. It should attract a much broader pool of potential buyers of the site, which should provide much greater potential for contributions to the local economy. Page 4, Land Use element -- Open Space New objective K.2, related to neighborhood parks, is welcome, but I suggest a very small change in wording, so it is clear that these parks would support "newer" subdivisions. Otherwise I fear that the lack of an5, parks south of Highway 101 and east of Race will continue to leave the sizable population in the area between Whites and Ennis creeks with no easily accessible park even though much of this area was developed 10, 20 or even 40 years ago. Page 5, Conservation Element, first bulleted item, Amend Policy B.16 The City of Port Angeles has an especially important role in extending habitat protection for riparian corridors that begin in Olympic National Park but otherwise lose protection outside the Park's borders. Page 6 Economic Development Element, first bulleted item, New Policy A.12: The Rayonier site's cleanup is essential for attracting potential investors and also for contributing to the attractiveness of the City as a place to live and visit. Although I will comment on other elements of the former millsite in my later recommendations, I think it is important to recognize the economic importance of the site beyond its purchase and development for future jobs. New Policy, C.I: Improved access to Olympic National Park is important through continuation of the ski buses, assistance with keeping the parkway open, and better transportation options for people arriving on ferries or buses. Even though other entities ]nay have major responsibilities for some services, the City's support is important. 386 Concerns\about proposed amendments ' Page 2, first item, regarding Regulatory Reform Act ] l~ope the proposed limitation to only one public hearing for SEPA determinations or permits does not mean that the public will be deprived of an opportunity, to present concerns directly to the City Council. Council members are our elected representatives, and it is important that we be able to bring our concerns to their attention in some way. Perhaps written comments will be or could be accepted, if not a public hearing. Page 4 Land Use Element -- Open Space, New Objective K.2: Per earlier comment, please replace "new" with "newer" to make it clear that existing subdivisions will not be excluded from park expansion. Transportation Element, New Policy B.20: This relic from earlier comprehensive plans seems a foolish waste of limited resources. A much higher priority should be support for a minimum of four lanes on Highway 101, especially when so many people are being killed and injured by vehicles attempting to pass in two-lane areas and hitting oncoming vehicles. Pushing for another eastern access into the City will leave property owners in doubt about the future of their tranquility and property values and contribute to blight. lt's time to focus on far more important goals. Page 5, New Policy D.I 6: lnstead of requiring a no-protest annexation agreement, couldn't sewage hookup fees for non-City residents make annexation attractive enough that it isn't necessary to continue to alienate people opposed to annexation? Of course, septic systems that leak into stieams and groundwater or cause other health hazards shouldn't be permitted to continue to pollute, and those property owners need to be required to hook up to a sewage system, if that is the only way to take care of their problems. Continuing concerns from comments submitted earlier · Bike lanes: Do transportation plans include provisions for bicycle lanes? · Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces: Does the stormwater ordinance include penalty for abandoning such impervious surfaces as parking lots? That might discourage the tendency for business owners to build more parking than is feasible and then abandon it to move to areas farther out, where land is always cheaper and regulations may be looser. · Stormwater-sewage separation: Does the stormwater ordinance do everything it should to separate stormwater runoff from sewage, so raw sewage won't overflow and cause pollution? · Water conservation: Are water conservation provisions adequate? · Pollution protection: Is language protecting residents and visitors from air, water and noise pollution adequate? (Change "should" to "shall" in Item 3, Page 49. · Landfill contaminants: Is oversight adequate to protect the public from landfill contaminants? · Stream restoration and protection: Although the statement about protecting wildlife corridors and implementing the recommendations of this area's watershed planning unit, could the City take a stronger stand fayoring protection and restoration of streams, especially those given highest priority by the watershed planning unit (WRIA 18)? I think this might contribute to efforts by watershed groups to obtain grants that would contribute to salmon/d enhancement -- certainly important to our area. 387 · Trails must not harm riparian areas: A statement needs to be added to Page 56, Proposal 2, Transportation Element, to make it clear that any trails should be created only after making sure that they will not have a deleterious effect on riparian habitats. Many streamsides, including Ennis Creek, have sensitive soils and vegetations that would be vulnerable to erosion and stream sedimentation if trails were created and pedestrian or even bike and motorcycle use opened up. · Fish and wildlife passage: My earlier suggestions urged a statement requiring all new or renovated streets to provide for fish and wildlife passage through proper culverts. Failure to do this will compromise the larger effort we need to make to protect and restore important habitat areas and is likely to waste money on later alterations when projects should have been done properly in the first place. · Essential estuarine enx, ironment for Ennis Creek: A specific statement favoring the return of the essential estuarine' environment for Ennis Creek could be valuable. The area salmonids need for getting acclimamd as they travel from Ennis Creek to saltwater and back has been covered with landfill and structures. Pilings still remain where the estuarine area should be. The landfill never should have been pertained, and the City should take a firm stance to make sure approaching opportunities to undo some of the damage are not lost. · Beautiful beach for public enjoyment: The City also should take a pro-active stance favoring protection of the longest and most unspoiled beach close to downtown. Of course, private property rights must be upheld, but City support could increase opportunities for grants to purchase that part of the Rayonier property or at least obtain a purchased or donated (with tax benefits) conservation easement, which would protect both the beach and the estuarine area while still making more suitable land available for development. 388 Andy and Colleen Brastad 1622 Milwaukee Drive Port Angeles, WA 98363 CITY OF PORT ANGELES Port Angeles City Council . Dept. of Community DeveioDmem Port Angeles City Hall Port Angeles, WA 98362 RE: City of Pon Angeles Comprehensive Plan Update Honorable Council Members:, This correspondence provides you our comments regarding the City's "Comp Plan" updates. I live at 1622 Milwaukee Drive which is accessible from West 18th Street. Our neighborhood is characterized by ½ acres or larger lots, a gravel road with shallow ditches for catching storm water and provides for a rural setting. My comments are regarding this area of Milwaukee Drive and to the north toward the bluffs. My comments are as follows: We recommend that the City promote low development density standards. This will reSUlt in maintaining larger lot sizes as our neighborhood develops in the furore, while maintaining rural settings. · We recommend that the City adopt Low Impact Development standazds and infrastructure forlour area. As you know, these standards promote roads of 20 or 25 feet in width, gravel verses pavement, allow storm water to be collected and treated in ditches. We do not support the development of wide, curb and gutter- type roads and infrastructure. This is important to us because it preserves the existing rural setting that we and our neighbors enjoy, decreases storm water impacts which save the City costs and improves the environment, and maintains or increases our property values. Thank you for this opportunity to provide these comments. _Sincerely, ,~ .

Development P.O. Box 1150 Port Angeles, WA 98362 Re: Comments on City's Proposed Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map Dear Chairman Hewins: On May 3, 2004, City Planning Staff provided us with a copy of the draft amendments proposed to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. It is our understanding that these will be considered by the Planning Commission at a public hearing scheduled for May 12, 2004. On behalf of the Department of Community Development, we appreciate the opportunity to provide the following comments for the City's consideration: IV - Growth Manaqement Element 1. Pages 43, 44 and 45 There are a number of existing policies that provide guidance for the establishment and maintenance of the City's Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Depadment of Community Development would just like to reaffirm the impodance of these policies in guiding any amendments being considered to the City's UGA. Furthermore, we would suggest providing a reference in the City's Plan to the adopted County-wide planning policies that outline the process and procedures for UGA amendments. This would help clarify the public understanding of the relationship between these two plans as they relate to UGA issues. 390 2. Pa.qe 45; New Policy # 18 It should be clarified whether this policy is intended to apply to the existing UGA or also includes the proposed UGA areas? Furthermore, if the lands involved are adjacent to, or within the UGA, then the policy should be reworded to include a reference to working with Clallam County as County actions/impacts will be involved. 3. page 45; Obiectives 2 & 3, and Related Land Use Map Changes As the County has reiterated before, DCD staff believes that these policies are premature at best in that no analysis or evaluation has been done as a pad of the record that explains the need for these expansions. As mentioned previously, the County-wide planning policies contain procedures for evaluating the need for expansion, and in our opinion, this should be done before policies such as these are added to the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Page 45; Obiective 4 This should be amended to reduce the appearance of a policy chasing a foregone conclusion. Change to "The City will conduct a Buildable Land Inventory to examine the need for UGA expansions". 5. page 46; Policy 12 This policy should be amended to include timeframes on performance benchmarks to assist landowners in understanding what timeline/criteria to anticipate for annexation to proceed. Utility and Public Services 1. Page 70; Policy 16 This policy should be reconsidered, and replaced with one which advocates a fee-based incentive for annexation; perhaps charging differential and higher rates for non-city properties served by sewer. 2. Page 70; New Objectives 4 & 5 These should include performance or timeline criteria outlined in the Capital Facilities Plan to provide more certainty for affected property owners. Housinq Element 1. Page 73; New Policy 10 This policy should be reworded to clarify whether it applies to the existing or proposed UGA, and should reference coordination with Clallam County. The wording should also clarify the actual definition of Iow and medium density, as well as where the policy is applicable; existing UGA? Proposed? 391 2. Page 90; Economic Deveio,oment; New Obiective 2 This policy should be reworded to include the County as a jurisdiction to coordinate within this process. 3. Pa.qe 92; New Policy 2 Consider rewording this policy to clarify what is intended by this statement "...work ~o enhance the use of Ediz Hook", as what? Imprecise wording leads to potential confusion. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment, and we look forward to wo, rking with the City on your Comprehensive Plan amendment process.

We applaud the commitment the CiD, has made to the public participation process and feel that process has produced some strong recommendations. The Port Angeles Association of REALTORS® supports most of the proposed amendments. Overall, they reflect a desire to maintain a strong a,nd diversified economy, a commitment to provide infrastructure necessary to accommodate quality growth and an understanding of what amenities make a better community. We offer the following comments on specific proposed amendments: Growth Management Element New Policy A.19: The City should establish peJformance measures to review progress toward accommodating growth and to ensure appropriate actions are taken to achieve the goals of our community. This policy is commendable in that it recognizes the City should incorporate a systematic process for reviewing progress toward achieving each of the goals listed in the plan. Wherever possible, goals in the plan should be accompanied by performance measures. Performance measures have not been included in the list of recommended amendments. Should this policy be adopted, we trust City staff will work toward identifying appropriate measurements and including those into the plan. New Objective A.4: The City will conduct a Buildable Lands Inventory to support UG.,i expansions. Port Angeles Association of REALTORS® 1 May 12, 2004 $95 Monitori4g growth patterns and the supply of buildable land is essential for assuring growth is accommodated. We support and encourage ongoing inventories of commercial, industrial and ¼ residential ]ands well ahead of any possible inventory shortage. Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map Change: Change the Land Use Malg for the area of Rayonier Mill fi'om hTdustrial lo Commercial recognizing that the future use will likely be a mix of commercial and residential uses. We oppose this rezone change at this time. Proposed amendments to the Industrial Element (New Goal I and Policies I:1-3; Objective I:1) are more flexible and appropriate amendments for addressing the Rayonier Mill site. The almual Comp Plan amendment cycle will pro?ide timely opportunities to review site specific changes' where specific site plan proposals can be considered in a less restrictive manner. Land Use Element - Residential New Policy B.5: For efficient circulation, rights-of-way should be obtained and in~igrovements ' made to further the grid street ]gattern in the central Townsite area of the City. Cul-de-sacs and curvilinear streets may be ]germ itted when designed as an integral ]gart of the major grid stree! pattern in the outlying areas of the City, where Low Impact Develo]~ment standards may apply. ' Wherever possible, th'e City should allow Low Impact Development standards to help reduce the costs of development while reducing the amount and the affects of stormwater run-off. We support this amendment and hope the City will look for further opportunities to incorporate LID standards in the development regulations. Land Use Element - Industrial New Goal I; New Policy I. 1-3; New Objective I. 1 We support this thoughtful approach for addressing re-development of industrial sites. It provides flexibility for any number of development proposals, is sensitive to the special considerations necessary for infill development and honors the processes in place for Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map changes. In a spirit of cooperation and progress, we recolrunend the City consider adoption of these recommendations. Utilities and Public Services Element New Policy A.5: The City should t2lan and seek funding lo exl2and its existing infi'astructure to ensure economic vitality, and to im]grove the quality of life in ?orr .4ngeles. This policy reflects a proactive commitment to sustaining and improving the employment base of the City. We are aware of the financial commitment this policy will require and are certain investment in our infrastructure will reap benefits for the entire community. Port Angeles Association of REALTORS® 2 May 12, 2004 39 1 New Policy D.14: The City should implement the policies adopted in the Water Resources inventory Area ]8 Watershed Management -plan, including the provision of water supply to the urban areas in and between the Elwha River and Morse Creek drainage basin. We believe it is premature to consider adoption of this amendment until the WPdA 18 Management plans have been completed and reviewed by all stakeholders in the community. We oppose this amendment. New Policy D.16: As sewer is extended inlo Urban Growth Areas, those hooking up should be required to sign a no-protest annexation agreement; New Objective D.4: The City will exlend sewer into the eastern Urban Growth Area; and New Objective D. 5: The CiO; will extend sewer into the southweslern Urban Growth Area. This policy and its objectives are important measures for ensuring the UGAs can accommodate growth as intended by the Clallarn Counly, County-wide Planning Policies (CPP). Under the section Policies Related to the Implementation of an Urban Growth Area the CPPs state_: Policy No. 12 "-public facilities and services necessao; to support urban development will be specifically identifie.d for provision within the designated urban growth areas of Clallam County in accordance with the policies for Joint .Planning and Contiguous and Orderly Development." Policy No. 13 "Urban services to be provided within UGAs should include, at a minimum, provision for sanitary waste, solid waste disposal'systems, water systems, urban roads and pedestrian facilities, transit systems, stormwater systems, police and fire and emergency services systems, electrical and communication systems, school and health care facilities, and neighborhood and/or community parks. " Additionally, this policy and!its objectives assure concurrency requirements of the Growth Management Act can be met in a manner that will not prevent new business and residential development. We support these amendments Conser~,ation Element New Policy B.22: Should be amended to read: The City should reference the Washington State Citations of Recommended Sources of Best Available Science for Designating and Protecting Critical Areas (as periodically updated) and other research identified as more locally appropriate and applicable (when it is available) as Best Available Science in the Critical Areas Ordinance. The citations provided by the state should be considered guidelines. The list is not all-inclusive and does not come with any automatic indicators as to applicability or appropriateness of recommendations to local circumstances. Nor does the publication of the list identify the full Port Angeles Association of REALTORS® 3 May 12, 2004 395 range of ~lternatives available to accomplish the necessary, protection For these tasks, local expert opinion may be more appropriate. Thank you for >,our consideration. We look forward to working further with the Commission and Department of Community Development on this important work.

While this is a preferred policy, the actual determination of appropriate arca¢ mid timing for annexation requires an analysis by thc city to dcterminc the priority areas and sequence for actual annexation. There have been several concerns raised by citizens w/thin the city, residents in thc eastern UGA, and by thc county planning staff, about the need to address provision of urban services 1.o existing city areas first, pr/or to annexation of new land into the city from the UGA. We recommend the ci'ty first conduct thc inventor2,' proposed in new Objective A.4 and analyze thc existing city and UGA needs for sen, ices and infrastruclure facilities, in support of policies such as this favohng UGA annexation. We refer you to our guidance paper on Capital Facilities Planning on our website at: h.llp://www.cted.wa.,oov/uploads/GMA Capital Facilities.pall · New Policy A.5 recommends the city plan for and seek funding to expand its existing infra.qtructure, with the implication such expansion should occur into the UGA. This is a good policy if it sets priorities based on a current capital facilities plan and addresses cun-ent city areas first. Those property owners benefiting fi'om the new services should pay the costs for such service expansion. As stated previously, the city capital facilities 'plan should address how and when existing city areas will be provided with re'ban services, prior to cxpanding these services into the UGA. Utilities and Public Service · New Policy D.16 and new Objectives D.4 and D.5 all relate to this sm'ne issue of services within the UGA, and adopting them now is prematm'e without doing the land capacity · 'malysis and capital facility planning steps to determine priority areas for urban service eXlXmsion. We support the idea expressed by Clallam County staff to include timclines arm pcrfon'nance benchmarks to guide future urban service expansions in to thc UGA. As expressed in the new Objective A,4 (to conduct a Buildablc Lands Inventory to examine the need for UGA expansions), that work should precede adopting policies such as the new Objective A.3 recommending expansion of the city UGA. We have some suggestions for strengthening thc plan amcnclmcnts that we encourage you to consider either in these or future amendments: · In the Community Profile, Urban Services section, page 31 states that there are five retention/detention facilities for stonnwater in the city. Subsequently two facilities are mentioned ms being maintained by others. It is unclear if the National Park Service facility is included in the list of five facilities or not. We suggest clarifying if this Js a separate sixth facility or not. 398 DHY-~U-~UU4 W~U Ud;4~ KFI UI~H LUUHL UUVI ~A MU, ~OU /O~ dO~U K, Uq }]onoFab]e Mayor Hcarlrick DRAFT May 26, 2004 Page 3 · There are several notes within thc Plan text indicating lext additions m'e intended.

Johns, Associate Planner Andy Meyer, Clallam County Planning Director John Cambalik, PSAT $99 400 2020 VISION FOR PORT ANGELES PROJECT REPORT Public participation As required by the Stat~, the City of Port Angeles undertook to .update its Comprehensive Plan with guidance from the State. The first requirement of GMA was to establish a public participation process to help craft amendments to the plan that would meet the expectations of the citizenry. To do this, the City appointed a Citizen Advisor3, Committee comprised of nine members who helped design a Public Participation Program specifically to reach a large number of citizens and solicit responses that could be used in crafting amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The advisory committee was made up of citizens that are involved with neighborhood issues, local business and economic development, past Planning Commission and City Council members, and a sitting member of both the City Council and Planning Commission. This group was given the task of designing a program to involve citizens in contributing their ideas to the planning process and to assist staff in crafting proposals for changes to the Comprehensive Planl 'The program that was developed consisted of a week-long open house, followed by three weeks of neighborhood meetings. The open house and meetings were advertised by several means, including placing a llarge banner across H3~vv 101, the main street through the City. Press releases were issued weekly to the newspaper and local radio station. The Peninsula Daily News published seven articles on the planning process over the five week period and carried two City sponsored advertisements. Additionally, plamfing meetings were announced in the Things To Do column on three occasions. The Department of Community Development participated in the two-day Home Show held at the Port Angeles High School gymnasium. The meeting times, dates, and locations were scheduled so that a broad section of the population could participate. Times were varied from early afternoon (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm), later afternoon (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) and later evening (7:00 pm to 9:00 pm). Meetings were held on various days of the week 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 1 April 14, 2004 401 and sevep different locations were used 'to hold meetings. A web page was developed and linked to the ci6,'s Homepage listing the meeting dates, times and focus. The web page was updated throughout the process and the comment questions were made available on-line to provide an additional and easy method of response to the written comments form made available at all the meetings and various public locations such as City Hall. Members of the Citizen Advisor>, Conm~ittee volunteered their time to cont'act and attend meetings of 21 organizations that were identified as potential stakeholders. Those organizations were informed of the pla~ming effort being taken by the CiD' and were invited to participate in the process by suggesting changes that might be made to the Comprehensive Plan. A three-hour forum specifically for these civic and business organizations to comment on or make proposals was held at the end to the three week public meeting period. The Comprehensive Plan update process has had contact with 300 - 400 individuals through open houses, public meetings, organization/stakeholder presentation, comment forms returned, and use of the internet. Eighty-five people at-tended at least one public meeting as indicated by sign-in sheets. A total of 58 comment sheets were submitted. In addition, five different organizations made formal presentations to the Citizen Advisory Committee. As a result, 68 specific amendments were drafted and submitted for review by March 31, 2004. Public Comment Responses Several major topic areas came Io light from the comments received through the public participation process. The major topics have a thread of commonality binding them together. As an example, the appearance of the City was mentioned several times in connection with the ab/lity to attract tourists which would stimulate economic development. Tourism, including outdoor recreation and eco-tourism, were suggested as ways to stimulate economic development. This led to suggestions of what to base tourism on, including the City's history, preservation of its small town character, and protection and enhancement of its local environmental assets. There was a sense that the City should not have a shabby, decrepit look and feel to it. This was seen as a detriment to attracting and maintaining a strong tourist market. The eastern 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 2 April 14, 2004 402 entry to the City was specifically mentioned as needing improvement, as it is often the first impression that Visitors have of the City. Few specific suggestions for how the City could make improvements were included. However, the need for additional street trees was mentioned more than once. The City's small town character was mentioned several times with a concern that there is a need to limit or control growth patterns. This small to'am character i's cited as a reason that people come here and stay here. This idea is connected to another reason that people are here, namely the open space and natural environment, which tied in with a strong feeling of protecting that open space, providing more park space, and ensuring public access to the waterfront. These concepts also were tied to tourism and again back to economic development. While most people responding to our questions indicated that growth would be good, there was a theme of constraint and caution so that the growth would be orderly and planned for and that the small town character not be lost to large mega-stores and malls and that the local scenic environment be protected. It also seemed, to those individuals who currently lived in areas where it was quiet and private, and the character was somewhat rural, that any potential growth should not be in those areas. . Quiet, safe neighborhoods was also a common theme. The lack of sidewalks, specifically in the west end, was a neighborhood issue that also came up several times. Other neighborhood comments included noise a5 an issue. Noise from several sources was mentioned, including general traffic noise, large trucks idling for long periods, motorcycle riding off-road on vacant lots, loud car stereos, and airport noise. Annexation of the eastern UGA and extension of the sewer into this area had mixed responses; however, the majority of respondents encouraged the armexation of the UGA. Annexation and sewer extension were often tied to enviromnental health and economic development issues. It was typically felt that the City would be in a better position to provide services that would improve the general conditions of the eastern UGA in both aesthetic and environmental ways. Transportation issues generally focused on finding more efficient ways to move trucks out of the downtown area and moving traffic through the City more efficiently. The use oftl~e 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 3 April 14, 2004 405 term by-p~ass or alternate H~x7 101 route were used synonymously, but no specific solution ! surfaced. Many differenl scenarios were discussed and there was disagreement as to 'the scale, location, and purpoge ora route. There was a consensus that an additional route out of town to the east would be advantageous, if there were a need for emergency evacuation of the City or if HFs, 101 were closed for any length of time. Whether that route would function as a bypass of the City, a route for truck traffic to avoid the downtown area, or an easy way for lodals to meet their commuting needs was never clear. Several disadvantages to an alternate traffic pattern were pointed out. They included reducing tourist traffic from fully experiencing the City, 'encouraging sprawling land development to the south, the expected high cost of land acquisition and construction associated with such a project, and impacts from noise and traffic to existing q~4iet, semi-rural neighborhoods. The Rayonier Mill site received comments from citizens and organizations including the property o~mer Rayonier. Citizens generally expressed the idea that expanded public use of some kind is desired. ~ Suggestions included park and recreational uses, residential use, ' educational and research uses, public access to the waterfront, and uses that would specifically attract tourism. While these ideas were popular with citizens, the political and economic leaders of the community were advocating caution and patience in changing the existing Comprehensive Plan designation or zoning to avoid the appearance of forcing Rayonier into a more costly cleanup scenario and possible abandonment of the site. Rayonier itself proposed allowing for a method of overlay zoning for planned industrial development that would allow something other that a blanket cleanup to an impractically high standard. Business leaders encouraged the City to consider keeping the site available for marine related light industry, as it is the last available waterfront on the harbor. The extension of the Olympic Discovery Trail from Marine Drive to the western edge of the City received extensive discussion at several of the neighborhood meetings. This issue is supported by two citizen organizations, and some residents along portions of the proposed route expressed their opinions. Trail users also voiced their opinion at several meetings. Currently the undeveloped Milwaukee Drive is designated on the Nonmotorized Transportation Map as the approved route for the trail. Strong support for an alternative route from 4th and 'N' Street, 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 4 April 14, 2004 aoa following 'N' Street to 18*h Street and then west to Milwaukee Drive was proposed and well supported. Advantages to this route included the existing infrastructure, the need for improvements to the existing infrastructure, existing property, ownership along the route, and potential early timing of the improvements. Although property owners along Milwaukee Drive are aware that Milwaukee Drive will be improved at some point in the future, their desires to keep the area quiet and private for as long as possible and to make sure that development there happens in a well planned, orderly fashion suppo ,ri the 'N'/18th Street route. Discussion of the future of the William R. Fairchild Airport took place at several meetings. These discussions ranged from the short term needs of the terminal and hanger relocations to the possible need to relocate the entire airport in the long term future. Potential population growth in the area, coupled with existing land availability and growth patterns, and the airport's impact on surrounding land uses prompted these discussions. There is a need to control the land uses surrounding an airport, especially in the restricted flight zones. Discussion of land use controls led to considerations of planned growth in the areas directly west of the City limits and the airport. There was discussion also as to whether the County or the City would be best suited to control that land use and what the best method would be. The Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation Division and the FAA concluded that there would be little State and Federal support for relocation of the airport and those taking part in the discussion agreed that the County would most likely be able to control the land use for less intensive development west of the airport. The City, therefore, limited its proposed expansion of the UGA west of the airport. This also ]ed the City to recommend limiting its sewer extension outside the City limits to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Reservation to the smallest size required to serve the Tribal Reservation and not provide potential hook-up capacity to residents living between the City and the Tribal Reservation. Next Steps The 68 proposed amendments have been submitted to Washington State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (DCTED) to be reviewed for consistency with 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 5 April 14, 2004 405 the Grow{h Management Act and 1o the Washington State Department of Transportation / (WSDOT) to be reviewed for consistency with the Regional Transportation Plan. A SEPA review of the potential impacts of the amendments on the enviromnent must be conducted. Each proposal must be analyzed as to its impact on the CitY and must be found to be in the public interest. A public hearing on the proposed amendments will be held at the Plmming Conm~ission meeting on May 12, 2004. The Plamfing Commissiol] will then make a recommendation to the CiU, Council regarding the proposed amendments. The Cily Council will hold a public hearing on June 1,2004, before taking a final action on the proposals. After the final amendments to the Comprehensive Plan have been adopted, the City will then take up the task of reviewing and amending the zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance, and the critical areas ordinance. These tasks will once again require support and input fi'om the citizens of Port Angeles. T:\COMPPLANL2004 up dates\comments recieved\Comment synopsis.wpd 2020 Vision for Port Angeles Project Report Page 6 April 14, 2004 pORTANGELES WASHINGTON, U.S.A. CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: June 1, 2004 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities SUBJECT: 2004 - 2010 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Workshop and Public Hearing Summary: The State requires that the City annually update the CFP and TIP for planning and funding of capital projects. A public hearing is required to receive input regarding projects and additions to the CFP/TIP. The TIP projects are included in the transportation element of the CFP, but need to be listed in the separate TIP to meet state requirements. A workshop will be held to familiarize Council and the public with the projects included in the CFP. A public hearingi is scheduled for this evening. Recommendation: Open the public hearing and continue the hearing to June 8, 2004. The workshop will be held on June 8, 2004. After receiving comment from the public on June 8, 2004 continue the hearing to lhe next regularly scheduled Council meeting. Background: Annually, the City is required by the State to update the CFP for planning and funding of capital projects. The CFP is a project planning tool which covers all aspects of infrastructure planning within the City. The projects included in the CFP are those that are needed to meet the concurrency requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA), transportation projects to be included in the TIP, and other capital projects planned for the next six year period. All projects in the CFP and TIP should be currently funded or have the source of potential funding identified. In order to receive project funding in the form of grants and loans or require development funding of infrastructure improvements, projects must be included in the CFP. The TIP is a transportation planning tool used by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to allocate funding of local agency projects. The WSDOT will not fund transportation projects that are not included in the TIP. Comments received on transportation projects will apply to both the CFP and TIP. The draft 2004-2010 CFP was previously distributed to Council. The staff, along with the Finance Committee members, have identified and prioritized projects for consideration by the full Council. While the CFP and TIP are six-year planning tools, the governmental fund allocations cover the current year, 2004, and the next year, 2005. N:\CCOUNC1L~FINAL\CFP & TIP for 2004 Public HearingAwpd.wpd 407 June 1,2004 City Council RE: 2004 CFP 8: TIP Public Hearing Page 2 The 2004/2005 Goverumental Fund Projects is a summary of all capital projects requiring funding from the general fund which have been prioritized on a citywide basis. The second summary includes general fund projects (Fire, Police, Parks, and Streets) listed in departmental priority. The third summary includes utility fund projects (Light, Solid Waste, Water, Wastewater, and Stonnwater) listed in departmental priority order. Please note that the street projects list also serves as the TIP. CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN OVERVIEW The total dollar amount available for Governmental Fund Project Allocation projects in 2004/ 2005 is $2,400,000. The general approach for project prioritization was 1) projects that have non-City funds associated with the project (leveraging funds of others), 2) projects with a potential of securing non-City funds for accomplishment, 3) legal mandates, 4) economic development, 5) public need, 6) public health and safety and 7) obsolescence. The following is a recap of the basic strategy, key projects and funding options contained in the proposed CFP. A detailed description of each project is listed in the 2004 CFP binder. I. GOVERNMENT FUND PROJECTS The proposed six-year plan for the General Fund Projects totals $39 million. Development projects identified for the years 2004 and 2005 total $2,400,000. Projects that are funded dir0ctly out of the general fund are identified as: A. General (GG) fund projects identified for funding are: Laurel Street Pavers, Homeland Security Project, Matching Funds for Community Projects, Downtown Parking, Residential Infrastructure Development (NICE) program, Valley Creek Restoration, and Channel 21 equipment. B. Fire Department (FR) projects identified for funding are: Fire Station Roof Repair, Replace Pumper, and Purchase Large Hose. C. Police Department (PD) projects identified for funding are: Police Station Addition/Remodel. D. Parks Department (PK) projects identified for funding are: International Waterfront Promenade, City Pier Dredging & Piling Replacement, Front Street Corridor Streetscape Improvements, Shane Park Renovation, Neighborhood Park Renovation, Recreation Facility Assessment, Erickson Park Restroom Improvements, Skate Park, and Elks Playfield Improvements. N:\CCOUNCIL~FINAL~CFP & TIP for 2004 Public HearingAwpd.wpd 108 June 1, 2004 City Council RE: 2004 CFP & TIP Public Hearing Page 3 E. Transportation (TR) projects identified for funding are: 8th Street Bridge Design, Sidewalk Program, ADA Curb Ramps/Chirpers, Campbell Avenue (Mount Angeles to Porter), Park Avenue Reconstruction (Peabody to Race), Park Avenue Sidewalk (Race to Liberty), Street Bicycle Facilities/Racks/Striping, and Old Mill Rd/Scrivener Rd Improvements.' II. TRANSPORTATION The proposed six-year plan for Transportation Projects totals $67 million. Development projects identified for the years 2004 and 2005 total $17 million. Projects that are funded directly out of the general funds, as also noted above, are identified as: 8th Street Bridge Design, Sidewalk Program, ADA Curb Ramps/Chirpers, Campbell Avenue (Mount Angeles to Porter), Park Avenue Reconstruction (Peabody to Race), Park Avenue Sidewalk (Race to Liberty), Street Bicycle Facilities/Racks/Striping, and Old Mill Rd/Scrivener Rd Improvements. Major Street Repair and Reconstruction The City Council has set a goal of funding an annual Street Paving Program. This program ofresurfacing streets allows Public Works to make steady improvements to streets throughout the City. The "least cost" strategy is based on addressing both the "worst of the worst" and making improvements to streets before they reach the point of significant deterioration. One of the main challenges in capital project funding is maintaining the annual commitment for street repair and reconstruction. Proposed annual funding allows for major overlay projects and funding of minor projects when needed for grant matches. $350,000 is proposed for Peabody Street (Front to 5th ) reconstruction in 2004. III UTILITY PROJECTS The proposed six-year plan for Utility Fund Projects totals $77 million. Development projects identified for the years 2004 and 2005 total $11 million. Each utility is operated as a separate business funded by dedicated utility rates and development charges. As such, it does not compete with other City projects funded by general tax revenue. A. Light utility projects in the CFP for 2004 and 2005 include substation upgrades, Elwha underground rebuild, and other infrastructure -upgrade projects B. Solid Waste projects in the CFP for 2004 and 2005 include starmp of the Transfer Station Design, and Landfill Bluff Stabilization. NSCCOUNCIL~INAL\CFP & TIP for 2004 Public HearingAwpd.wpd 409 June 1,20~4 City Council RE: 2004 GFP & TIP Public Hearing Page 4 C. Water utility projects in the CFP for 2004 and 2005 include Concrete Cylinder Pipe Replacements, Water treatment plant and other Elwha Dams removal related support activities, Downtown Phase III waterline replacements, and Fairmont Pump Station. D. Wastewater utility projects in the CFP for 2004 - 2005 include Laurel and Oak Streets outfall improvements, Pump Station I and 3 improvements, I/I CSO reduction, Park Avenue sewer improvements, Annexation sewer extension, Annual replacements, and Composting Facility improvements. E. Stormwater utility projects in the CFP for 2004 - 2005 include Lincoln Street Stormdrain, Peabody Creek/Lincoln Street Culvert Repairs, Crown Park Overflow, and improvements to outfalls and catch basins for water quality . improvements. IV CONCLUSION The 2004-2010 CFP represents continued progress in addressing the needs 'of the City. It is recommended the CFP and the allocation of funding for the projects in the years 2004 - 2005 be adopted. Other high priority projects to be considered for Governmental Fund Project Allocation are as follows: Project # Project Description Year Funds Discussion TR42-99 Lauridsen Blvd 2005 $50,000 Funds would be used for preliminary Bridge Widening evaluation of the structure and developing grant funding requests.

Staff informed Ms. Smith and Fairchild that an informational letter sent to Brad Collins, Planning Director, from Rich James, Clallam County Trails Advisory Committee was being provided at tonight's meeting for the Commission's records. The recommendations within this letter urges the Planning Commission and City Council to include policies in the Comprehensive Plan that require the timely development of a signed route for the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) westward from Marine Drive to the west city boundary. The letter also contains recommended routes, signage and future development plan. Staff invited Ms. Smith and Fairchild to share their concerns and issues with the Park Commission. The Jet Set Soroptimists are interested in working with the City and the Commission to obtain a timely routing of the Waterfront Trail west, 421 Park Commission 2 At~ril 22, 2004 t tl~rough to the western city limits. Ms. Smith referenced and agreed with Mr. James' letter. Ms. Fairchild felt that the county, city and Jet Set Soroptimists now have a great opportunity to accomplish this project. A discussion followed regarding the routing of the trail at various sites. . Staff mentioned that the Comprehensive Plan for the city will more than likely not go into the level of detail that Mr. James' letter requests. The city will identify the need for westward connection for the Olympic Discovery Trail from Hill Street to Dry Creek, and work towards accomplishment. Currently, the city does not have on-going public plans to engage the neighborhood of these areas regarding options for a trail route and what the impacts may be. The Peninsula Trails Coalition has started this process with two public workshops where ideas and a diversity of options were presented. These workshops ended with no recommendations or decisions. At some point the city and Jet Set Soroptimist need to bring the process to a conclusion of where the connections and routes should be located. Ms. Smith informed the Commission that the Jet Set Soroptimist are hoping the Commission will be an active part of this decision in raising the awareness lev, el. The Soroptimists have started a fund specifically allocated to the future expansion of the trail. V. Student Member Interview: The Commission interviewed Markie Miller for one of the two positions available for Student Commission members. VI. Legislation: Student Member Appointment: Following discussion, Pat Deja moved to appoint Markie Miller to the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission Board as a student member. David Shargel seconded. Upon call for the question, motion carried unanimously. Arthur Feiro Marine Life Center Contract Staff explained that the operations of the Marine Life Center are managed through the administration of an annual operating agreement between the City and Peninsula College subject to the approval of the City Council. Funding for this contract is part of the approved 2004 budget. Staff is recommending that the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission review the agreement with Peninsula College for operation of the Arthur Feiro Marine Life Center and recommend its approval to City Council. This contract will allow the City to continue receiving the customary collection of the first $15,000 generated by admissions. 422 Park Commission 3 Aplil 22, 2004 t There are two changes being proposed this year. The first change drops a clause relating to the working relationship between Peninsula College, Friends. of the Marine Life Center, and the docent program. The second changes this contract from an annual to a three-year agreement expiring in 2007. Following questions and discussion Jack Harmon moved to approve the revised Marine Life Center three-year contract with amendments as presented. Pat Deja Seconded. Upon call for the question, motion carried unanimously. Elks Park Plan: Over the course of the past 6 months staff, in cooperation with the Elks Club, has hosted a series of neighborhood workshops for the purpose of developing a "master plan" for renovation improvements to be made to Elks Park. As a result of these workshops, those attending the meetings have reached consensus on a draft concept plan for the park. The neighborhood has also determined their lis,t of priorities for future improvements. Those attending the workshops have recommended that the funding provided through the Neighborhood Pm:k Renovation Program be allocated for improvements to the playground at Elks Park and that those improvements be completed this year. Staff recommended the Commission review the conceptual plan as prepared by Lindberg and Smith Architects illustrating the neighborhood's preferred plan for renovating Elks Park. In addition, the Commission accept the neighborhood recommendation to utilize the current year CFP funding in the amount of $30,000 for improvements to the playground area. Further, that the Commission approve the "draft conceptual plan" for Elks Park. Diana Tschimperle requested a report from Commission Member and Elks Club Board representative, Ron Johnson. Mr. Johnson stated that although there was limited involvement from the neighborhood, there were always different people and Mr. Johnson feels the end result is a great plan. Staff reminded the Commission there were three (3) workshops with an average of eight to twelve neighbors attending each time. Their visions and elements of the park seemed to be very consistent. The next step will be to invite playground vendors to develop specific schematics and designs to be presented to the neighborhood workshop where the neighbors will select the final design. The estimated time-line for construction of the playground is September 2004. Restrooms and other elements will be on the menu for 2005 as part of the 2005 CFP, if funding is allocated. Jack Harmon moved to accept the neighborhood recommendation to utilize the current year CFP funding in the amount of $30,000 for improvements to the playground area and approve the "draft conceptual plan" for Elks Park. Ron Johnson seconded. Upon call for the question, motion carried unanimously. 423 Park Commission 4 April 22, 2004 Capital Facilities Plan: The City updates its Capital Facilities Plan (CFP)(CIY) on an annual basis. Each department has been asked to review their current project and submit any changes or revisions for review and approval by the City Manager and finally the City Council. As 2004 is the only truly funded year, Staff asked the Commission to focus on the 2005 recommendations. Staff provided the Commission with the current recommended rankings. Diana Tschimperle felt that, as a Commission, it was imperative for them to give their own ranking recommendations versus staff recommendation. Following. discussion and deliberation the Park Commission recommended ranking the Parks and Recreation CFP, making sure projects are completed in 2004 with no pending projects for 2005, as follows: 1. Erickson Park Restroom 1. Elks Park Restroom 3. City Pier Piling Repair 4. Skate Park 5. Shane Park Renovation 6. Lions Neighborhood Park 7. Front Street Corridor Damaris Rodriguez moved to recommend the CFP rankings as outlined by the Park Commission. Pat Deja seconded. Upon call for the question the motion carried unanimously. Staff announced that the City Pier restrooms are in the process of complete renovation and storage areas in the Vern Burton Center are being constrUcted. In response to a question from Chuck Whidden regarding the William Shore Pool Renovation project, staff provided the Commission an update on the current process. Jack Harmon mentioned his concern regarding the pool. How can the City continue pushing "Band-Aids" which is holding the pool together, yet close it for use on Sundays due to issues of cost? Staff responded that the City Council will likely reinstate the funding for Sunday pool operations. VII. Other Considerations None 424 Park Commission 5 April 22, 2004 VIII. Park Board Late Items Recreation Services Manager Recruitment: Diana Tschimperle inquired in regards to the status of this process, staff responded that the final screening of applicants has been completed. Interviews will be conducted Thursday, May 13, 2004. Staff informed the Commission that Dan Estes has taken over the management of all special events and is doing an outstanding job~ Valley Creek Estuary Park: Staff informed the Commission that the Valley Creek Estuary Park was submitted to the Washington Recreation and Parks Association for consideration,as a facility of excellence. Notification was sent announcing the park is considered the top facility in the State of Washington for 2003. Mr. Connelly will be traveling to Spokane for the Annual WRPA Conference to give a presentation on the project and pick up the award. This is the second time Port Angeles has received a top award for the top State park facility. Staff will be presenting the same project to the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) along with the Waterfront Ambassador Program. Annual Park Commission Park Tour: The Commission agreed to move the May Park tour to June. Staff will bring a list of recommendations for the tour venues to the May meeting. Annual Kid's Fishing Derby: Chuck Whidden asked how the Fishing Derby turned out. Staff responded that there were 343 registered children, plus parents. It was a great success for Amber Cottam, Recreation Supervisor. Mr. Whidden discussed a safety concern in Shane Park. Damaris Rodriguez reported on the Olympic Discovery Trails Meeting. Staff informed the Commission that Rayonier has turned over the opening and closing of the trail gates to the city. Parks Maintenance staff will continue to lock and unlock the gates until additional safety lighting is installed within this area of the trail. At this time the gates will stay open permanently. IX. Executive Session: None X. Adiournment: Chuck Whidden moved for adjournment. Damaris Rodriguez seconded. Upon call for the question, motion carried unanimously. 425 Park Commission 6 April 22, 2004 426 MINUTES t PLANNING COMMISSION and CITY COUNCIL Port Angeles, Washington 98362 May 12, 2004 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Members Present: Bob Philpott, Fred Norton, Fred Hewins, Linda Nutter, Chuck Schramm, Leonard Rasmussen, Dylan Honnold City Council Present: Lauren Erickson, Grant Munro, Jack Pittis, Karen Rogers, Gary Braun Members Absent: None Staff Present: Sue Roberds, Brad Collins, Scott Johns, Jim Mahlum, Ken Dubuc Public Present: Ed Tuttle, B.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Philpott and passed 6 - 0 with Commissioner Hewins abstaining due to his absence at the meeting. Chair Hewins indicated that those who testify must sign the "Sign In" log and affirm that their testimony will be truthful to the best of their knowledge. PUBLIC HEARINGS: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP - CPA 04-01 - CRONIN: Amendment to the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation between 4th Street and 7th Street along Race Street to Commercial (C). Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's report recommending denial of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. 427 Planning Commission Minules Ma3' 12, 2004 Page 2 George Cronin, 191 Old School House Road, Gardiner, WA stated that although the application identifies a full block area east/west each side of Race Street, his specific interest is to allow a light commercial area along Race Street connecting to existing commercial development in the area. Encroaclm~ent into the surrounding residential area east/west of the corridor is not really intended but he felt that the area lends to a light commercial use that would favorably serve the community. In response to Commissio. ner Norton's question as to what types of uses would be considered "light commercial", Mr. Cronin responded that he would seek professional office type uses. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Community Development Director Brad Collins responded to Planning Commissioners' questions regarding the' ability of an applicant to reapply in the event a proposal is denied, by saying that applications may only be considered once a year within certain submittal timelines. When asked if staffs concern with the proposal's conflict with current transportation policies would be aleviated if the area shown in the 'application were reduced, Director Collins responded that an adjustment of the proposed boundary would still be in conflict without a change to the existing transportation policies. Commissioner Nutter opposed the extent of the proposed commercial change to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and stated that, as the applicant's proposal could not be changed, she would not support the amendment. Commissioner Hewins asked for clarification purposes, how a rezone is considered following a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change. Director Collins stated that property owners would request such a change and that it is. unlikely that the City would simply rezone a property without being asked to do so by the property owner. Following continued discussion, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend that the City Council deny the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendment proposal citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: 1. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed by a property owner, Douglas P. and Lynda Day Cronin, for a change in the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to Commercial in the area south of 4th Street and north of 7th Street between Francis and Washington Streets. The proposal encompasses a six block area. 2. The amendment was submitted in a timely manner prior to March 31, 2004. 3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment would decrease the medium density residential land available in the City by approximately 6 acres. 4. The Comprehensive Plan discourages creating strip commercial development outside of the US 101 corridor and encourages cluster development. 5. The Comprehensive Plan only allows commercial development in residential areas as neighborhood shopping areas and as long as it does not encourage traffic from outside the area or increase traffic congestion within residential neighborhoods. 428 Planning Commission Minules Ma), 12, 2004 Page 3 ~ 6. The Comprehensive Plan identifies improvements'to the Lauridsen Bridge to facilitate both a crosstown truck route and alternate local crosstown route, indicating that the Race ' Street corridor is considered as a portion of those future projects. 7. Several previous analyses of the amount of the City's land uses have shown that there is a relative shortage of high and medium density residential to low density residential and commercial ~zoned areas. 8. A recent land use analysis in Port Angeles indicated there is 279 acres of high and medium density residential zoned land, 2,423 acres of low density residential zoned land and 333 acres of commercially zoned land. 9. The Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed with respect to the proposed amendment, and the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C.2, C.3, C.4, Goal E, and Policies E.2, E.5, E.6, and E.8 and Transportation Element Goal B, Policy B.2, B.3, B.6, B.7, and Objective B.1 were found to be the most relevant. 10. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued per WAC 197-11-355 on May 5, 2004. 11. No public comments to the proposal have been received. ' Conclusions: A. The proposal to change the Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use designation along the Race Street from 4th to 7th Streets and Francis to Washington Streets to Commercial (C) is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policies C.2-C.4, E.2, 5, 6, and 8, and Transportation Element B.3. B. The proposal was found to be inconsistent with policies which discourage creating a strip commercial character outside of the us 101 corridor and discourage uses that may reduce the viability of the Race Street/Lauridsen Boulevard corridor as an alternate crosstown route. C. Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation. D. In this case, medium density housing is a transitional use between the intense commercial area along First and Front Streets and the less intense commercial area at 8th and Race Street, and does not adversely impact the residential nature of the housing in the area. E. The proposal is in an area of existing park facilities and low to medium density residential structures. F. Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA 04-01 by reducing medium density housing opportunities, increasing potential traffic impacts, and not supporting the City's chosen urban design patterns is not in the public interest. 429 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 4 The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6-1 with Commissioner Hewins voting against the motion. Commissioner Hewins stated that while he believes the area is destined to become more commercial, he could not support the redesignation of such a large area. Commissioner Schramm agreed that it is likely the area will eventually be commercial but stated that he too would not be in favor of the proposed extent of the redesignation from Francis Street to Washington Street. Commissioner Philpott concurred and indicated that he would have been in favor of the proposal had the area been only along Race Street. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE MAP - CPA 04-02 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES: City wide amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's staff report identifying all of the proposed amendments and identified specific proposed amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map based on the public review process. .Director Collins stated that Rayonier would not oppose that area above the bluff along Water Street being redesignated for residential development but would oppose any redesignation of the main mill area being anything but industrial at this time. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Robbie Mantooth, 2238 E. Lindberg Road, stated her thanks for the opportunity to participate in review of the City's Comprehensive Plan update process as a newly annexed resident and noted that the effort that was made gathering information during the public participation process earlier in the year. She felt strongly that the Rayonier mill site should be cleaned up to a higher standard than industrial to allow for more variety of eventual uses. She encouraged more public parks now rather than in the future, a proactive approach to stream corridor restoration, a wider transportation corridor rather than an alternate crosstown route, and hoped that the annexation process could be structured such that others would desire to annex to the City who live in developing areas to avoid excessive septic tank usage. Finally, she noted that the most beautiful beach in the county is located within the shoreline of the Rayonier property and she encouraged the City to work with Rayonier to open the area to the public. Andy Brastad, 1622 Milwaukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA spoke in favor of a change in a residential area offMilwaukee Drive that is proposed to be redesignated from Residential Medium Density to Low Density Residential. He characterized the area as rural and hoped that it would remain so with relatively little future development. He appreciates the low impact development standards allowed for infrastructure development in the area. Ed Turtle, 3909 Old Time Place, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition against annexation and noted that a like petition was being submitted to the County Commissioners asking the county to eliminate the City's eastern Urban Growth Area. He stated that he is not against future development of the area east of the Port Angeles city limits but does not want annexation. Instead, it is preferred that services be extended without annexation. The City should take care of what is already within the City limits before looking at annexation. Chair Hewins asked Mr. Tuttle what proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan he is addressing, to which Mr. Tuttle answered that he was addressing the eastern expansion of the UGA. 430 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 5 Chair Hewins pointed out that the issue was discussed during last year's Plan changes and is not' currently under consideration by the City. Jack Anderson, Rayonier Mill, 700North Ennis Street, spoke on behalf of the Rayonier Mill management and asked that the Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the mill site remain unchanged at this time. He explained that the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) clean up regulations outline only two methods of clean up: industrial and commercial. To identify the site as commercial would significantly slow redevelopment of the Site. The Rayonier management prefers to allow a prospective purchaser and the property owner to agree to a clean up plan based on future use of the site and is not in favor ora redesignation at this time. Ava Traughber, ! 636 Milwaukee Drive, Port Angeles, WA agreed with a previous speaker regarding the redesignation of an area north of Milwaukee Drive being proposed for redesignation from RMD to LDR. The area is not prepared for higher density development and should remain rural and sparsely developed. Bill Henry, 2206 East Sixth Street, Port Angeles, WA was concerned that neither the County nor the City has proven to residents in the eastern UGA that there is a need to expand the City's boundary to the east. An excess of vacant residential land exists within the City for development at this time without annexation. Residents in the eastern UGA would like to petition for a LAMRID (Limited Area of More Intensive Rural Development) and would like the City's support. Port Angele~ should utilize vacant land before looking to annex additional area. The eastern UGA boundaries might better have been set at the existing City limits. At this point, Chair Hewins asked the speaker what item he was speaking to on the hearing agenda. Mr. Henry indicated that he was speaking to the entire scope of the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Hewins noted that expansion of the eastern UGA is not currently under consideration having been decided during the review process in 2003..The expansion of the western UGA boundaries is an item under review. Mr. Henry presented written information to be entered into the hearing record to the Chair. Kathe Smith, 607 East Fourth Street, Port Angeles, WA strongly supported amendments to the Transportation Element as proposed. Harley Oien, 215 R~e Road, Port Angeles, WA presented a petition opposing expansion of the western UGA boundary and urged the Commission to leave the area in the County for rural preservation. Jeff Bohman, 3753 Canyon Circle, Port Angeles, WA represented the Peninsula Trails Coalition and spoke in favor of the proposed amendment to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. He encouraged that the Economic Development Element, in particular proposed Goal C, or the policies that derive from that goal, include the benefits of the Olympic Discovery Trail and other trails and parks as an element of the economic plan. He noted that some references in the 1990 Sheldon Wetland Report have become outdated. It has recently become apparent that the old report is not a comprehensive reflection of existing wetlands within the City boundaries. It may be appropriate to include wording in the Plan to recognize that site specific analysis should always occur whether or not the Sheldon report indicates that wetlands are present on a site. Jean Fairchild, 3524 Mt Pleasant Road, Port Angeles, WA represented herself and others in the audience on behalf of the Jet Set Soroptimist Club in support of changes to the Transportation Element. 431 Planning Commission Minules Ma), 12, 200~ Poge 6 H~gh Haffne~; 402 Goa VKay l?oad, Port A~geles, l, FA suggestedthatsometypeofbonding be required of the Rayonier Mill owners to assure adequate clean up of the mill site. There being no further comment, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing and announced a break at 7:40 p.m. The meeting resumed at 7:50 p.m. The City Council Members adjourned from the meeting and left. Due to the number of other issues on the agenda, Commissioner Schramm moved to continue discussion of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map amendments to last on the agenda. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed unanimously. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - GREEN CROW - Rook Drive: Propos.al for a 43-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds reviewed Department's report. Director Collins suggested a revision to Condition #9 providing a time period for the construction of a recreation area and responded to Commissioner Nutter that a specific amount of open space is not required for subdivisions. Open space and buffer areas, trails, etc., can be components of a recreation plan. He ' added that cul-de-sacs work well in suburban areas as long as they are designed to meet the City's curvilinear expectations, can create a satisfactory neighborhood alternative to the standard grid system. Jim Mahlum, ~Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, stated that when l~ook Drive was developed to City standards, the developers were required to install intersection warning signs along Mt. Angeles Road to warn of an approaching intersection activity. The County is requesting that the applicant widen Mt. Angeles Road north to the City portion of the road an additional 3' each side of She existing surface. He responded to Commissioner Hewins that he did not believe sight distance is a problem at the intersection given its width. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, I, VA asked to dedicate 50' of right-of-way for the continuation of Rook Drive rather than the 60' required by the Public Works and Utilities Department. His client would be amenable to a condition that requires the recreation/play area to be constructed when a given number of lots has been developed, and responded to a question from Commissioner Nutter that completion of the wetland boundary delineation will definitively identify the required buffer areas. If such delineation indicates that a lot or two are unbuildable, the plat will be redesigned. Director Collins noted that the extension of Rook Drive is proposed through the wetland buffer, and, if this is indeed the case, the buffer will require enhancement in order to account for use of the area. Mr. Zenovic responded to Commissioner Hewins that, following conversations with the City's Parks and Recreation Director, it is expected that ifa significant park area is dedicated to the public within the subdivision, it will be taken over for maintenance purposes by the City. Dennis Yakovich, 2736 Blue Mountain Road, Port Angeles, WA noted that the Rook Drive intersection with Mt. Angeles Road is nearly 90' wide due to turn radii required by the City which allows for a clear vision at the main intersection. He agreed with the previous speaker by saying that he is not interested in developing or retaining maintenance of the park through a homeowner's association but would prefer to develop a meaningful park/recreation area that would then be dedicated to the City for final development and maintenance. If the current development is successful, Green Crow will begin development of adjacent property to the north of the subdivision will provide access to either Campbell Avenue, Wabash Avenue, or Porter Street for both 432 P[aaning Commission Minutes May 12, 20~4 Page 7 \ developn~ents through the extension of Rook Drive. A 5-10 year build out is expected for the current proposal. Mr. Yakovich further responded to Commissioner Nutter regarding ponds that were created during logging of the site to retain runoff. There being no further comments, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Commissioner Schramm felt that a secondary ingress/egress is a very important component of the subdivision as the current proposal relies heavily on unimpeded access to Mt. Angeles Road. Commissioner Nutter had unanswered questions' regarding development of the park/recreation area and was concerned with traffic at Rook/Mt. Angeles Roads. Director Collins suggested that the item be continued to allow further discussion with the County Road Department and the applicant regarding County requirements for improvements to Mount Angeles Road. Commission Norton agreed and moved to continue discussion to the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Schramm and passed 4- 3 with Commissioners Philpott, Norton, and Rasmussen voting against the motion to continue. , PRELIMINARY SUBDIVIS1 ON - NEW VIEW - Eckard Avenue: Proposal for a 15 - unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Assistant Planner Sue Roberds presented the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. ' Steve Zeno'vic, Zeno'vic and Associates, 519 South Peabody, Port ,4ngeles, I, VA agreed with the staff's analysis and noted that this is a simple redivision of a previously platted subdivision into larger lots. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Following discussion regarding walking path widths and road development both within the subdivision and on Mt. Angeles Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision with the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: Conditions: 1. Address numbers shall be identified and placed on the final plat as provided by the City Public Works and Utilities Department. 2. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a maximum 1000' of separation distance. 3. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and the utility trench will be made available for other utilities, i.e., telephone and telecable. Electric utility requirements will be addressed after the preliminary plat is approved and when required data is provided: load calculations, meter locations, and utility routes will be the driving factors to how electrical service will serve the lots. 4. Prior to final plat approval, all public improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's Urban Service Standards and Guidelines including an 8 inch water service along the northern portion of Eckard Avenue right-of-way and the western portion of the Porter Street right-of-way. Storm drainage/detention mmtholes are to be within City right-of-way or within 433 Planning Commission Minutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 8 a 20' dedicated utility easement. A detention, treatment, and erosion control plan is required. An 8" sanitary sewer main shall be constructed within dedicated City right-of-way or within a 20' dedicated utility easement where placement of the utility will be offset 5' ofcenterline. Side sewer lateral connections are to be 6" PVC within City right-of-way. Pressure treated posts (4" x 4") shall be placed at each end of lateral, marked "s/s" and buried to a depth indicated on the post. 5. Street design and development shall be per City suburban street standards with 60' rights-of- way for Eckard Avenue and Porter Street and 20' for an alley along the south side of the subdivision. Driveway culverts will be restricted to 30' in length. An 8' walking path is required along Porter Street because the street is a designated school walking route. Streets shall be dedicated to the City through the subdivision process. "No parking" signs shall be placed along Eckard Avenue and Porter Street if the streets are developed to the City's low impact development standards. ' Findings: 1. . The preliminary subdivision application was submitted on March 6, 2004, by Zenovic and Associates for JeffPriest. The property is owned byNorman Rockford and Janice Andrew who are selling the site to Mr. Priest and who provided written authorization for the preliminary subdivision application to be submitted. The final plat will be entitled New View Subdivision 2. The propOsal is to subdivide a 4.59 acre parcel of land into 15 residential lots in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. The preliminary drawing indicates that lots in the proposed subdivision will range from a minimum 9,027 square feet to 9,626 square feet in area. 3. The proposed site is located east of Mt. Angeles Road between Campbell Avenue and undeveloped Eckard Avenue and is legally described as being Lots 1 - 11 in Block 8, and Lots 17-32 Block 5, Illinois Addition. The area is located approximately V2 mile from the City's southern limits. 4. The site is currently accessed from Campbell Avenue via unimproved Porter Street, however, the applicant is proposing to establish Eckard Avenue extending from Porter Street west connecting to Mt. Angeles Road, which is a city road in this location, during construction for the subdivision lots. Eckard Avenue was originally platted to access Mt. Angeles Road but has never been opened. Both Porter Street and Eckard Avenue must be improved and rededicated through the subdivision process. 5. Properties west, south, and north of the site are zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family. Property northeast along Campbell Avenue is zoned RHD, Residential High Density with property directly east and southeast zoned RS-9. White's Creek is located in a meandering north to northeast line approximately 1/4 mile east of the adjacent property. 6. The RS-9 zone allows a density of up to 9 units per acre and is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of 434 Planning Comtnission Minules Ma), 12, 2004 Page 9 ptedominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size Dots. Uses that are compatibleJ with and functionally related to a single family residential envirohment may be located in this zone. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. 7. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for development of subdivisions within the City. Conditions maybe added to a preliminary subdivision approval thai will ensure compliance with the development.standards of Chapter .16.08 PAMC. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat at a public hearing along with written recommendations of reviewing departments and agencies with jurisdiction, and shall forward a recommendation to the City Council that will act on the proposal within a period of 90 days following submittal'of the preliminary application to the City Department of Community Development. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires .a city to inquire into the publi6 use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment ora subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 9. The proposed preliminary plat was reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments, and the Clallam County Road Department. Comments have been included in review of the proposed subdivision and resulting conditions should address any concerns or issues that were raised by reviewers. The site will be served by City water, power, sewer, solid waste, and emergency services - Police and Fire. Porter Street will be improved to the City's low impact development standards which will include an 8' pedestrian walking path due to its identification as a school walking route. Eckard Avenue will also be improved to the City's low impact development standards including a 4' pedestrian walking path and will connect to Mt. Angeles Road which will provide a more direct egress route from the area rather than funneling all traffic to Campbell Avenue. 10. Public notice of the subdivision application was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on March 19, 2004, posted on-site March 22, 2004, and published in the Peninsula Daily News on March 24, 2004. No written comments were received as a result of the public notification. 435 Planning Cotltntissioti Minutes May 12, 20O4 Page lO 11. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map .The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development fol' solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital Facilities Element PolicyA. 10). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B. 1, and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B. 14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policies C.2 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.9 and A. l 0, and Goal B. 12. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area. Franklin Elementary School and .Peninsula Community College are located in the area. The School District has indicated that at the present time, school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 13. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works and Utilities Departments. 14. Building permits will be required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes will apply to any new construction on the subject property. 15. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the proposal on May 6, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the subdivision are required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance and are necessary to implement the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subdivision or are available in the area. Storm drainage, electrical, and telecommunications improvements are the only street and utility requirements which have not been installed per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines but will be provided by the developer. C. A play area has not been required because the subdivision falls below the 30-lot threshold policy for the requirement of new recreation areas set by the City. D. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal B, and 436 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page ] 1 P;licies B. 1~ and B.2; Transportation Element Policies B.14 and B. 18; Utilities and Public ServicesjElement Policy D. 1 and D.2; Capital Facilities Element Goals A andB, and Policy A.9, and with the Zoning Code, Section 17.11 PAMC. E. As conditioned, the preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. F. As conditioned and proposed, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies., sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. G. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as artichlated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances..The subdivision . provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and is therefore beneficial to the City's tax base. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6 - 1 with Commissioner Nutter voting in the negative. Commissioner Nutter noted for the record that her negative vote was because Mt. Angeles Road is not developed to minimum standards in the area. The Commission took a break at 9:30 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:40 p.m. PRELIMINARY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - OLYMPIC VIEW ESTATES - Lindbem Road/Golf Course Road: Proposal for an 38 - unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Commissioners Norton and Hewins noted that they are both members of the Peninsula Golf Club that submitted a letter regarding the proposal but felt that they could individually act without prejudice in the matter before the Commission. Community Development Director Brad Collins reviewed the Department's report. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Director Collins responded to questions regarding road improvernents within the development, Lindberg Road, and Golf Course Road. No improvements to either Lindberg or Golf Course are required with the development, however, the second phase of development that involves Golf Course Road south of the Golf Course Rd/Lindberg Rd intersection will need to be improved at the time of that future phase of development. Gary Schoessler, 536Marine Drive, Port Angeles, WA stated that he had read the staff report and had no issues with the proposed conditions of approval. Mr. Schoessler responded to Commissioner Nutter by identifying the area on an overhead where a play area would be developed much like the play area in the Milwaukee Heights subdivision located in the west portion of the City. Participating in discussion with Commissioners regarding improvements to Golf Course Road, Mr. Schoessler responded that given the amount of improvements required to develop the proposed site, adding improvement to Golf Course Road at this stage of development would severely affect feasibility of the project. 437 Planning Con,mission Minutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 12 Bob Leach, Northwestern Territories, Inc., 717 South Peabody, Port Angeles, I~A has worked with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) on issues relating to use of the area underneath the powerlines and within the BPA easement, and believes that agreement has or can be reached on the use of the area for additional parking and stormwater detention. He explained the drainage plans and storm detention proposal and noted that the roadway will be developed with an inverted crown design to avoid using too many culverts. In response to Commissioner Rasmussen, Mr. Leach identified common areas that would be available within the subdivision and stated that management of the open space areas would be the responsibility of a homeowner's association. Mr. Schoessler presented photographs of proposed structural development within the subdivision. There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nutter expressed concern regarding the width of Golf Course Road as the roadway narrows significantly from that point south. Jim Mahlum, Civil Engineer for the City of Port Angeles, noted that infrastructure improvements required of the applicant for the development will significantly improve what currently exists in the area and noted that Golf Course Road south of the area does not abut the subject' property and would not be a route that would be used by those leaving or entering the subdivision. Following further discussion over the width and speed at which traffic travels on Golf Course Road, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend approval of the planned residential development citing the following, conditions, findings, and conclusions: Condiiions: 1. The final plat shall show the building front lot lines drawn where the lots equal or exceed 50 feet in width; Lots 7 and 16 may need reconfiguration.

The final PRD shall provide for continuous and perpetual maintenance of commort open space, common recreation facilities, private roads, utilities and utility easements, common parking areas, and other similar development within the boundaries of the PRD in form and manner acceptable to the City. 11. The final PRD and plat approval shall provide conditions, covenants, and restrictions that will preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site, in coordination with the proposed one-story, split-level, and two-story model home designs to create a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development. 12. Fire hydrants shall be placed per the project narrative included in the application. The three hydrants shall be located at: the intersection of Golf Course and Lindberg, at the northeast comer on Lindberg Road and the last midway between the entrances on the internal road. 13. Twenty (20) feet of clear width shall be required for fire department access. 14. The fire spri~kler system as required by the Fire Department shall be a condition of any new residential building permit. Wording shall be placed on the final plat and recorded with the County Auditor upon filing of the final subdivision indicating that all residences shall be fitted with residential sprinkler systems prior to occupancy. 15. ULID 215 Assessments and sewer connection charges shall apply to this project (date of formation ofULID 215 connection charge was in November 1999). 16. Proposed 8" water line shall be provided per as shown, with Fire Hydrant installation at NE Comer of Lindberg Rd. and in the middle of the internal roadway per City Urban Standards. 17.

Roadway construction shall be per City Urban Standards with ditches and walkways. 20. Street trees shall be provided on the frontages of Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per City approval. 21'. The legal description of the subject properly in the first phase of the PRD shall be provided. Findings: 1. An initial planned residential development site plan was received by the City on December 12, 2003. Following a pre-application meeting on January 13, 2004, and a PRD application was submitted on March 8, 2004. Following a request for additional information, a revised site plan was submitted on March 22, 2004, and elevations and floor plans were submitted on March 30, 2004. The Olympic View Estates application was determined to be complete 'on March 31,2004. The revised preliminary plat drawing for Olympic View Estates shows a 38 lot subdivision proposal. Six lots access from Lindberg Road, and three lots access from Golf Course Road. The remaining 29 lots access via private streets interior to the subdivision. A second revised preliminary plat drawing was submitted on May 5, 2004, which is the plat of record for City action. 2. ' The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 9.3 acres of land into 38 residential building lots, ranging from 3,526 to 5,568 square feet with most lots between 3,900 to 4,500 square feet in size (see Attachment B for the preliminary plat). Reconfiguration of the smallest lot was dofle to bring all the lots up to a minimum of 3,500 square feet. All of the lots are planned for single family residences. While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are pen~issible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per PAMC Chapter 17.19. 3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall density limitation, which in this case does not come into the analysis for a single family development because of the high density allowance under the RHD Zone. The overall density of the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD is 4.1 units/acre. 4. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions. 5. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment ora subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public health, 440 Planning Commission Minules May 12, 2004 Page 15 safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit, stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and schoolgrounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made. 6. The purpose ora planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as follows: ' This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design Jlexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying.zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components o fa residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare... 7. Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the ' City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting. 8. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on March 31, 2004. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its June 15, 2004, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. 9. The proposed 15 acre Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the south side of Lindberg Road and east of Golf Course Road. The current application (see Attachment B) includes only the first phase (approximately 9.3 acre) of the proposed development, which is divided east-west by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) main transmission lines. With the exception of a parking lot and common usable open space, the first phase development provides for subdivision of the northern portion of the subject site into 38 lots designed for small-lot single family residences. 10. The site slopes from south to north with some steep slopes on the southern portion of the site and relatively flat ground on the northern portion of the site from the BPA easement to Lindberg Road. 11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received March 22, 2004, and a revised drawing received May 5, 2004, prepared for the applicant Gary Schoessler by 441 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 200~ Page 16 Ntrthwest Territories, Inc., provided in Attachments A and B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final plat will be entitled Olympic View Estates Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Phase I. i2. The site is served by Golf Course Road and Lindberg Road, which do not meet City standards south of Melody Lane. Access from Lindberg Road to several, properties and single family residences located to the south crosses the subject site near its eastern property line. 13. Utilities are provided to the site, which is subject to residential unit charges under Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 215. Sewer capac'ity between the Golf Course Road area and the Wastewater Treatment Plant has limitations, and a study has determined that the proposed hookups for 38 dwelling units can be accommodated within the existing capacity. 14. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is High ' Density Residential (HDR). The approximately 9.3 acre property in the first phase of the PRD was rezoned to RHD Residential High Density several years ago and is situated across Lindberg Road from Peninsula Golf Course, which is zoned PBP Public Buildings an,d Parks due to its open space characteristics. Other surrounding properties, including the second phase of the PRD, are zoned RS-9 Residential Single Family and either are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. 15. The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments. 16. The proposed Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is outside of the Fire Department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression Requirements, each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision outside the four minute response time shall be equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, provided that such subdivisions shall be allowed to have the following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing: 1. cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and 2. distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of 500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet. 17. Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published on April 13, 2004, and posted on the site and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on April 8, 2004. The Department of Community Development received two public comment letters, which are provided in Attachment D. The letters were from the Bonneville Power Administration and Peninsula Golf Club, Inc. 442 Planning Commission Minutes Ma), 12, 20(~4 Page 17 ~ 18. T~ae electro-magnetic force (EMF) impacts of the BPA transmission lines have not been, reviewed, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the City. Bonneville Power Administration's comments address their responsibility to protect public safety. 19. The subject property is identified as High Density Residential (HDR) on the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B. 1 -B.4, Goal I, Policies I. 1 -I.4, Objective I. 1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D. 1; Housing Element Goal A; Conservation Element Goal A, Policies'A. 1 -A.3, Goal B, Policies B.I-B.6, B.8, B.16, Objectives B.3-B.4; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, Policies A.2, A.9-A.11, Goal B, Policies B.6-B.7, Goal C, Policies C.3- C.4. 20. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, ,sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9). 21. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A. 10). ' 22. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired urban design of the City. 23. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban design of the City. 24. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development, and only single family homes, which are permitted uses in the RHD Zone, are proposed. 25. The subject property in the first phase of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RHD Residential High Density, which allows a density of up to 43 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated May 5, 2004, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 3,500 square feet in size and that the size of most of the 38 lots is between 3,900 and 4,500 square feet. 26. The subject site has views across Peninsula Golf Course and back toward the mountains but is constrained by the BPA transmission lines. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be modest in costs for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard several blocks to the northwest. 443 Planning Commission Minutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 18 27. All required utility imProvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area. 28. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments. 29. There are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, although separated walkways are provided along Lindberg and Golf Course Roads per the low impact development standards.The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. 30. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local Building and Fire Codes .apply to any new construction on the subject property. 31. Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater than one acre in size. 32. .The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1065) on May 7, 2004, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility. Conclusions: A. The conditions of the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. B. As conditioned, all lhe necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear private streets and cul-de-sac with a 25 foot paved surface and no parking along the streets reduce stormwater runoffand still provide adequate access for each residential lot. D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 38 units of Olympic View Estates PRD. E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area similar to the new play structure at Crown Park. F. The small lots proposed for the Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision are desired for Planning Commission M#Tutes Ma), 12, 2004 Page 19 s~veral reasons: 1) the geographical and BPA easement constraints on the site, 2) recovering Clty'l costs for ULID 215, 3) the mixed types of housing already located in' the zone and vicinity, 4) the provision of affordable homes for new families and other first time home buyers, and 5) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RHD Zone and the PRD Overlay Zone. G. This .is not the basic urban land use pattern for the. City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a single family residential neighborhood, and the street and block system is more like outlying areas, which are largely undeveloped. However, it is not atypical for this zone and vicinity where another small lot, single family subdivision in the RHD Zone exists nearby. While it does not. meet the high density purposes of the RHD Zone, it does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone. H. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi- family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans. I. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. J. As conditioned, the Olympic View Estates PRD Phase I and Subdivision preliminary plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW. K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base. The Olympic View Estates PRD and Subdivision will recover funds expended by the City in support of ULID 215. M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions as requested by Peninsula Golf Course. The drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit. 445 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 20 N. The project engineer is working with the Bonneville Power Administration, and BPA's comments reflect the expectation that the residential uses will be compatible. O. The site open space areas, except for the play area between Lots 16 and 17, are separated from the residential lots by the presence of the BPA transmission lines. Electro-magnetic force (EMF) fields are not regulated by local jurisdictions, and, therefore, the EMF environmental impacts have not been analyzed in this review. The site design minimizes the interaction of residential uses and power line effects and preserves the remote southern portion of the site for open space purposes.' BPA representatives have reviewed the proposed PRD and, in particular, the parking lot, drainage pond, and private street located within the BPA easement. Further review of final plans will be subject to BPA's actions as the dominant easement holder for the protection of public safety. P. The Olympic View Estates proposal nmst be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space requirements ofPAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to be slightly less than the 1.4 acres of recreational area required of the approximately 9.3 acre site. The 2.8 acres of easement for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) 'transmission lines may not be suitable for the additional 1.4 acres of open space for preserving natural features. Q. The PAMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation. R. The private street s~,stem, as allowed for a PRD, is proposed for Olympic View Estates to minimize rights-of-way, stormwater drains, and/or pedestrian facilities that would be required for public streets. The 25-foot wide paved private streets must be posted for no parking, since there is not adequate pavement to allow for anything more than service and emergency vehicle access as well as individual lot access. The City Engineer and Fire Marshall may require a cul-de-sac in lieu of the parking lot turnaround, although only Lots 4, 5, and 38 may access from that dead-end street. It is possible that the second phase of the planned residential development may eliminate the dead-end street. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed 6- 1 with Commissioner Nutter abstaining. Commissioner Nutter stated that her reason for abstention was that she believed Golf Course Road should be widened from the required width due to the transition from 40' to 24' north of the site. It being after 10 p.m., Commissioner Nutter moved to continue the meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Norton and passed unanimously. 446 Planning Commission Minutes May' 12, 2004 Page 21 PUBLICtMEETING: REZONE PROPOSAL - REZ 04-01 - OLYMPIC MEDICAL CENTER - Northwest comer of the intersection of Race and Caroline Streets: Rezone from RS- 7, Residential Single Family to CO, Commercial Office. Commissioner Nutter noted that a relative works at the Olympic Medical'Center but she thought she could act fairly on the application. No one in the audience objected and so she remained at the dais. Assistant Plam~er Sue Roberds reviewed the Department's report. Following brief review of issues relating to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map and the need for rezone or conditional use to allow certain uses in the CO zone, Commissioner Norton moved to recommend approval of the rezone as proposed citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: 1. The Olympic Medical Center requested rezone of an approximately 7,000 square foot property located at the northwest comer of the Race Street/Georgiana Street intersection identified as being Lot 18, Block 32, Norman R. Smith Subdivision to Port Angele, s from RS-7 Residential Single Family to CO Commercial Office on March 1,2004. 2. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Commercial. A narrow band of Low Density Residential property is located directly west of the subject site that is developed with a narrow band of existing marine bluff residential uses consisting of mainly older homes. Comprehensive Plan policies that have been identified as being most relevant to the proposal include Land Use Plan Goal A and Policy A.2; Commercial Goals and Policies Goal D, and Policy D.2; and Capital Facilities Element Goals A and D. 3. Properties to the east are developed as the Olympic Medical Center and a variety of medical office uses. Properties south of the site and north of the Caroline/Georgiana alley are developed with a mix of commercial office uses clustered around the Race Street corridor extending mainly east but also west in this area to Francis Street. All properties along and particularly east of Race Street are zoned Commercial Office north of Georgiana Street in the area with properties west and southwest of the site being zoned RS-7, Residential Single Family. 4.The subject site is flat and is vacant with two smaller, older single-family residences north of the site along the Marine bluff, west of the north end of Race Street in this location.. 5. Race Street is designated as an arterial street and serves as the main traffic corridor to the Olympic Medical Center. Race Street dead ends at the location with the site being located on the opposite comer of the street directly across from the entrance to the Medical Center's emergency room, ambulance parking area, and main administration office. 447 Planning Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 22 6.
