CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: June 25, 2003 CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION Brad Collins, Community Development Director~-~E 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Summary: Following the close of the public hearing on June 16, 2003, the City Council has requested a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to review the 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The Community & Economic Development Comnfittee of the City Council recommended that the following Comp Plan issues be discussed: 1. Extension of the western urban growth area boundary, 2. Clarification of the description of the eastern urban growth area boundary, 3. Clarification of thc timing for Clallam County action on UGA extensions, and 4. Expansion of the City's commercial corridors to full blocks, These policy issues may be addressed by providing directions to staff for future actions rather than through revisions to the 2003 Comp Plan Amendments. For example, Council could direct staffto work w~th thc Tribe to reach agreement on urban growth area and sewer extension issues being resolved together and making application to Clallam County by December in time for thc County's 2004 Comp Plan update p,rocess. Alternately, extension of the western UGA could be addressed in the third phase of the City s Comp Plan update in 2004. Other new policies such as the description of thc extension of the eastern urban growth area should be revised to avoid confusion between th, map and policy language. Recommendation: Following the discussion, it is recommended that the City Council adop the Ordinance (Attachment A) as read by title. Background / Analysis: Last year the City approved the first phase of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan update required under the Growth Management Act. That phase focused on the Downtown and Harbor Planning Area. This second phase focuses on the east side Planning Area of the City, and for a second year delays consideration of any land use changes for the Rayonier millsite, until the cleanup plan is finalized. The third phase next year is scheduled to update west side Planning Areas. The City has until December 2004 to complete the mandated GMA update of its Comp Plan, and we are on schedule. Under the Growth Management Act, the City may amendment its Comprehensive Plan no more often than once per year. Per City Ordinance, Comp Plan amendments must be submitted by March 31~ and acted on by the City Council in June. The reasoning for the once-a-year time limitations rests on the long range perspective of the Comprehensive Plan, which under GMA is not suppose to change for short term, site specific development pressures. Most of the 2003 Comp Plan Amendments have not generated much controversy as policy decisions. Items such as the extension of the eastern UGA, new low impact development standards, and servicing and annexing areas outside the City limits have been supported by previous Council actions, which are being clarified in the proposed amendments as Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, objectives, and map changes. The State has commented on concerns regarding the establishment of a lower density zone (Residential Single Family, RS-12, with minimum lot sizes of less 4 units per acre) and the late extension of the western UGA. Although the County supports the RS-12 objective, they also have concerns with the western UGA expansion without more time for public review. City staff has worked with the State's Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED) staffto alleviate concerns about the RS-12 (3.63 un/ts per acre) zoning objective and concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to allow for more time before making a decision about the LEKT's request for extension of the western PAUGA boundary along US 101 commercial/industrial zones. The Tribe staffalso has indicated that more time can be taken to work with the City and the County before any action is necessary on an extension of the western UGA. Likewise, the City Council was concerned with the late extension of the 8th Street Community Shopping District zone. Regardless of City's recommendation on UGA boundaries, it is expected that the County will not act on any extension of the City's UGA until 2004, when they have scheduled their Comprehensive Plan update process. Accordingly, the State's and the County's concerns have been addressed with the Attachment A version of CPA Ordinance, and following the end of the discussion the City Council should adopt the attached ordinance to be in compliance with the June deadline in PAMC 18.04.040. Staffwill be available for questions. Attachment: Attachment A: Ordinance Adopting 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments (amended per Community & Economic Development recommendations) ORDINANCE NO.
