WORK SESSION/DISCUSSION ITEM Assistant Planner Ben Braudrick encouraged each member of the Planning Commission to introduce themselves and give a short biography. Planning Manager Allyson Brekke notified the Commissioners that oath of office would not be able to take place that night because of scheduling conflicts and would instead take place at the meeting of January 25. Chair Gee asked for Assistant Planner to present the scheduled bylaw review. Assistant Planner Ben Braudrick led the Planning Commission in a review of the Planning Commission Bylaws and recommended minor changes to reflect the changes enacted with the creation of a Hearing Examiner for quasi-judicial matters. Planning Manager Brekke asked the Commissioners for feedback about the current scheduled due date of the packet in accordance with the bylaws. Commissioner Bailey stated that if he was to get packet materials for the meeting by Monday he would be prepared for Wednesday’s meeting. He understood that requiring the items to be pushed back because of not meeting a deadline scheduled in the Bylaws could create major setbacks to Façade and Sign Grant applicants because the commission did not always meet as scheduled. Commissioner Schwab agreed. Chair Gee requested that the bylaws reflect Friday as the cut-off date for packet submission. Commissioner Morris agreed that holding to Friday and endeavoring for Planning Commission Minutes January 11, 2017 Page 2 Wednesday would be best, in case Commissioners are planning to be out of town the weekend before the meeting. Commissioner Hopkins asked if holding to noon on Friday would be helpful for staff. Planning Manager Brekke agreed that it would be helpful to staff that a deadline helps staff count backwards and better inform the applicant of a submission deadline. Commissioner Amoroso sked if there was a clause that the commission could table a discussion for further review. Commissioner Schwab stated that it was his understanding that a motion could be made to table the item for a future meeting. Planning Manager Allyson Brekke introduced the proposed code revisions to Titles 12, 14, 16 and 17. Commissioner Bailey asked about the delineation of residential parking requirements for each zone, for example, a live-work situation. Planning Manager Brekke responded that those concerns could be address in the requirements and flexibility. Commissioner Bailey commended the non-conforming structure regulations and lenience. Commissioner Morris agreed that this was a great deal of information and change for the future. Manager Brekke agreed that if needed, more time could be taken to make sure and get everything right. There will always be more to do, and the amount of change that can be done to the code does not need to be taken on overnight. Commissioner Morris asked if these minor changes would help the code work for the Commission, and if any major changes would be needed over the next few years. Planning Manager Brekke responded that the big overhaul would always be needed to be done and trends and new issues arise. Many communities are moving to form based codes that are based in design with less text regulation. Commissioner Amoroso asked about the definition of group living. Planning Manager Brekke responded that it was more about non-traditional households, for example, student style housing for the college that is not actually dorm based. It will allow for more flexibility. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None. REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS None. STAFF REPORTS None.

Infill Overlay Zone (IOZ) is designed to provide alternative zoning regulations that permit and encourage design flexibility through the implementation of smart growth practices to promote infill, maximum density, attainable housing, and functional innovation in developments that are both transit and pedestrian oriented and which blend into the character of the existing neighborhoods. It is intended that an Infill Overlay Zone (IOZ) will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot- by-lot development by use of a design process that includes within the site design all the components of an urban residential environment, such as walkability, access to transit, and a variety of building types, in a manner consonant with the public health, safety and welfare and results in a specifically approved site design. IOZ's are aimed to implement smart growth practices on infill or redevelopment sites that are surrounded by existing development and infrastructure. It is also intended that an IOZ may combine a number of land use decisions such as conditional use permits, rezones, and subdivisions into a single project review process to encourage timely public hearings and decisions and to provide for attainable higher densities than is required or may be permitted between single-family and multi-family zones. The consolidation of permit reviews does not exempt applicant(s) from meeting the regulations and submitting the fees and applications normally required for the underlying permit processes. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this overlay zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. Incorporation of conditionally permitted commercial neighborhood uses and mixed use developments can be achieved through the IOZ review. This overlay zone provides for the creation of infill developments and smaller self-contained residential neighborhoods that complement the existing neighborhood without following a standard system of public streets and lot design and with opportunities for residential and commercial neighborhood developments not usually permitted in residential zones. (Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.011 ‐ Definitions.   A. Attainable housing: Residential housing available for sale or rent that requires a monthly housing cost, including utilities other than telephone, of no more than 30 percent of the net income of an eligible household. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an eligible household is one with a total net household income no greater than 120 percent of the Clallam County median income as reported by the Washington State Office of Financial Management. B. Infill Overlay Zone (IOZ): A site-specific development that has been approved by the City under the provisions of Chapter 17.45 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. C. Neighborhood density: The number of dwelling units per gross acre allowed by underlying zone or zones. (Ord. 3548 § 22, 1/5/2016; Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.020 ‐ Applicability.   IOZs may be established considered when the subject property is: , subject to final approval of a proposal for a specific parcel or parcels of land       Page 2  a. Located in the RHD, RMD and RS-7 residential districts. An IOZ shall b. Ccontain a minimum lot area of 201,000 square feet but shall be limited to less than 3.44 acres in size with densities permitted per the underlying zone or zones per 17.45.060. The site shall be c. If composed of more than one lot or parcel, they should be contiguous. lots or parcels. Minimum lot area may not be achieved by including areas included in property that has been d. Not part of a subdivision receiving final plat approval finaled within the preceding five years. Conditionally approved commercial neighborhood uses shall be limited to IOZ developments greater than one acre in size. All IOZs shall consist of a development that is primarily residential in nature. (Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.030 ‐ Permitted uses Allowed uses.   All principal, accessory and conditional uses permitted in the underlying zone(s) are allowed in IOZs. Residential building types in an IOZ may vary from those permitted in the underlying zone or zones. (Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.031 ‐ Conditional uses.   Conditional uses may be allowed similarly to those conditionally permitted in the underlying zone(s) or may include commercial neighborhood and commercial recreational uses that primarily serve neighborhood residents. (Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.040 ‐ Permitted modifications of land use regulations.   The approval of an IOZ may include modifications to 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. No approval shall include a modification, variance, or waiver of the exterior setback areas required by the underlying zone along the exterior property lines of the IOZ, or of the environmental requirements of the Shoreline Master Program as included in Title 15 of the PAMC and of any building permit, clearing and grading permit and stormwater permit requirements., except as provided in Chapter 173-14 WAC. (Ord. 3294, 8/31/2007) 17.45.050 – Design and Development Standards.   The following standards shall apply to all IOZs: 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 Iinterior streets may be either public or private. Streets intended to be dedicated to the City must meet minimum street design standards set forth in the City of Port Angeles Urban Standards And Guidelines Manual, with exception to minimum street widths. Street widths may vary from widths required if they achieve the goals of the IOZ. All requests for variations to street widths must obtain support by the City Engineer. In suitable locations, common parking areas may suffice       Page 3  without the provision of interior streets. On-site Off-street parking requirements should be consistent with Title 14 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. B. All IOZs shall devote at least 30 20 percent of residential units to attainable housing. C. All IOZs shall provide for a mechanism to ensure that attainable housing remains attainable in perpetuity. Such mechanism shall be approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development and be stipulated on the final plat. D.

E. All IOZs 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 IOZ in form and manner acceptable to the City. F. All IOZs shall ensure that proposed structures blend into the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood. Multi-family uses in a predominately single-family neighborhood should simulate a single-family residence in appearance. G. Platting shall be required for all projects that involve or contemplate the subdivision of land. Lots in a platted IOZ may be sold to separate owners. No further subdivision of land within the IOZ will be permitted unless a formal amendment to the IOZ is approved. H. Conditional use permits shall be required for all projects that involve or contemplate conditional uses that may be allowed in the underlying zone(s). In addition to the conditional uses allowed in the underlying zone(s), commercial neighborhood uses (as permitted per section 17.21.040 PAMC) may be considered for conditional use permit(s) during the IOZ approval process. No further conditional use permits except home occupations will be permitted within the IOZ unless a formal amendment to the IOZ is approved. I. For any underlying land use regulatory process that is consolidated through the IOZ overlay process, the criteria and development standards of that underlying land use 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 IOZ. J. To encourage design flexibility, maximum density, and innovations that result in a higher quality residential environment than traditional subdivisions, site planning and architectural review that address specific criteria are required of all development in the IOZ. Where applicable, the design of IOZs shall accomplish the following to the greatest extent possible: 1. Maximize the urban density of the underlying zone; 2. Provide affordable housing and attainable housing that complements the surrounding residential environment; 3. Provide a walkable, active, and transit oriented environment including, but not limited to, bicycle or pedestrian paths, proximity to public transit, children's play areas, and common open space areas; 4. Preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site; and 5. Ensure Tthe design of all open space areas and building structures shall be compatible with and complementary to the environment in which they are placed. K. All IOZs shall comply with the goals and policies of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan.
