He also placed Action Item 2 before Item 1. 1. Public Comment Address Requirements Chair Schwab addressed the request of Commissioner Hopkins to revise the Planning Commission Bylaws to reflect the recent changes approved by the City Council that meeting attendees no longer need to provide their address before providing public comment.

Public Hearing: Council Forwarded Temporary Dwelling Unit Ordinance Chair Schwab addressed the public hearing process and introduced Acting Planning Director Allyson Brekke. Acting Director Brekke provided a review of the Staff Report. Commission Members asked questions pertaining to the Housing Needs Assessment and Code Enforcement related to persons living in temporary living situations. Chair Schwab opened the public hearing Kevin Russell: Outside resident, local property owner and builder Stated that he is against the proposal. Sees the building and construction environment as currently recovering and in a growth trend that is prospering. Does not believe that this proposal is a solution to the issues it references. There are a lot of issues from a building standpoint that may take the form of legal action Dick Pilling: Outside Resident, Works within City State that he is well aware of the housing issues and sympathizes with the situation. He feels that temporary is not temporary. It would become permanent and continue to grow while lowering Planning Commission Minutes August 22, 2018 Page 2 property values. Lisa Imming: City Resident Referenced the proposal and its determination of the Clallam County vacancy rate. According to the US census American Community Survey, the City has a 7.5% vacancy rate. A housing shortage is defined as a vacancy rate below 6%. The Peninsula Housing Authority has 235 homes coming into the community. There is full time living in our environment, and RV’s are not a good regulatory option. James Treckas: City Resident Referenced the public comment provided that referenced an email sent out by Councilmember Linsey SW. Thinks it is inappropriate for someone as a council member and the drafter of the proposal to do. State his opposition to the proposal. He referenced issues with the proposal. Doc Reiss: City Resident Asked what jobs should be sidelined. Responded to the proposals referenced studies from Ferndale and Forks as having more robust requirements and the determination that it was a bad idea. It would require the assistance of every City department and is a solution looking for a problem. Feels that real estate is a local concern, and the statistics do not support the proposal. According to studies, there are 93 homeless and 24 of those with families, and another percentage are not interested in housing.. Tom Haley: City Resident Stated his opposition to the proposal. Lea Erb: City Resident and Landlord Agreed with the previous speakers and was in opposition of the proposal. She has RV’s with people living in it within her neighborhood that keep a low profile. Many of the RV’s are fine, but some are not. She has seen dogs on top of RVs, allowing them to bark incessantly and human feces in the yard. She feels it is completely irresponsible to pass without positions to enforce the ordinance. Tony DiPangrazio: City Resident Stated he was against the proposal. These types of uses are more appropriate in a mobile home park. Felt the City is short on available funding, and does not have the money to remove the vehicles after the ordinance sunsets. The proposal would be taking staff away from normal duties. Annie O’Rourke: Outside Resident, Property Owner Feels more thought should go into the ordinance, and that there will be unintended negative consequences as a result of the proposal. It is political to remove and ordinance that is already in place. The ordinance does not define terms well and conflicts with current terms. There is no mention of homeless or maximum rent in the ordinance. She wondered what the ordinance is trying to accomplish. There is no mentioning of zoning, or what zone this proposal would allow the temporary living in. Jennifer Parker: Outside Resident, Property Manager Most of the issues of concerned have been addressed. Asked how owners will qualify for rent. Eviction can cost $1500-3000 for the owner. Lynn Bedford: Felt the ordinance will not truly address homelessness because many have mental health issues or drug abuse issues. Something should be done to address the homelessness issue, but this ordinance will not help. RV’s are an eyesore. Nolan Metlav: City Resident, Social Service Worker Stated that he has worked with the homeless through social service organizations. He felt the cost Planning Commission Minutes August 22, 2018 Page 3 of living is too high for those in dire need to afford, and many who are homeless want housing. Stated that 20 people a day do not have shelter because Serenity House has closed. There needs to be a temporary solution, and housing should be first. Jodie Wilke: Outside Resident, House of Representatives Candidate She is a candidate running for office. She has at one time or another housed 20 people who were homeless. In her opinion, giving them their own bedroom did not help their problems. The homeless need community services. Jared Kortman: City Resident Stated that he feels the City and City Council would be held responsible if an RV burns down and people die as a result of this proposal. Deborah Fuson: City Resident She sits on a housing committee that is trying to explore solutions to housing issues. There is a lot of land available for housing assistance. Vacant houses and land could be reused or inhabited. The City could utilized mixed use zoning, or new zoning that relaxes land use requirements. She is against the ordinance. Sandra Miller: City Resident, Property Manager Asked the city leadership to not panic. The economy rises and falls. She has seen firsthand Residents leaving a home, and an RV has remained in the alley with people living in it and expired tabs. She felt that there needs to be a change in ordinances to relax requirements for building new homes and infill development. Bruce Rothintenen: City Resident Against the proposal. Stated he lived within the Cherry Hill neighborhood and has seen two RVs within the block on the street. He is worried about the lack of enforcement for people already living in RVs on the street. He stated that HUD has gone through debate of RVs as homes, and that tiny homes and motor homes are defined differently. Caroline Wilcox: City Resident Client a pharmacist and could not find a place to live. He now lives in a two bedroom apartment instead of a single, which costs more. A member of the Coast gueard has also struggled to find an appropriate place to live. These are people with jobs in hand who have struggled to find adequate housing. She supports the ordinance. Don Tucker: Outside Resident, Property Manager Feels the proposal would be a really bad idea. Sewer capping will be an issue. Aesthetically, there will be a proliferation of blue tarps seen throughout the City, such as can be seen at Welcome Inn trailer park. The proposal is asking those who would allow an RV to be a professional landlord. The ordinance sunset would not allow homeowners to evict residents. Ingrid Carmean: City Resident She is in support of this type of housing now. The homeless have no income and there is currently price gouging or lack of housing for those who can afford it. It is necessary for the immediate need that exists for those that cannot currently afford the housing that is available within the City. Larry Doyle: City Resident Stated he was a longtime resident since 1954, and has seen a lot of economic ups and downs in the community throughout his time here. He cannot recall an idea as unacceptable as the one being proposed. He felt that the community had already voted out being a second class city. Marolee Smith: City Resident She stated that she likes the conversation this is creating. Does not believe that a temporary living situation can be considered temporary. She thinks there is a need for better “real development” Planning Commission Minutes August 22, 2018 Page 4 with proper regulations that meet current code. Felt the community could use a temporary homeless encampment like many other cities. People are being priced out of their homes. Becca Korby: City Resident, Social Service Worker Works for one of two organizations that reside in Clallam County. She has worked for over a decade to help organizations recognize that homelessness continues to grow. She asked the Planning Commission who the target demographic for the ordinance was. Also asked who the City will be consulting with in regard to the Housing Needs Assessment? Heather Gtuzo: City Resident, Fire Fighter Agree with need for a solution and lack of housing, and also that this proposal is not the answer. Works with fire department and has dealt with RV fires. The neighbor nearly lost their house and investment. She placed photos of a recent RV fire that threaten the home on an adjacent property in the record. John Parrot: City Resident, Social Service Worker He hsared that he has worked with the homeless and mentally ill. He agrees with the problem, but does not agree with proposal. Provided an example of an RV living situation that was solved only after the problem became costly and the surrounding neighbors pitched in to fix it. Jerry Codet: City Resident He stated his agreement with most of what had been said in opposition of the proposal. He feels that if you add the low income temporary housing, there are many who are comfortable with that lifestyle. Current owners will be hurt by the lower cost housing. The economy moves in cycles. He feels short term fix and deter long term investment with the proposal. Linsey Schromen-Wawrin: City Resident, City Council Member He stated that as a Council Member he does not regularly speak before the Planning Commission.Housing policy is difficult because it is related to so many other issues. He broke the issue down to affordable housing, available housing, and homeless; all are related. The City must solve the housing crisis one home at a time. Amanda “Taz” Dorro: City Resident Mother of three with partner being told they have 3 months to vacate a residence. Offered the example of Right to Dream Too, a service out of Portland Oregon specializing in homeless housing options. Chair Schwab closed the public hearing and opened up discussion between Commission Members. Discussion concerning the proposed Temporary Housing Ordinance followed. Chair Schwab made motion to not recommend City Council move forward with the Temporary Dwelling Ordinance at this time. Commission member Stanley seconded the motion, and Chair Schwab opened the motion to discussion. The Commission discussed the need for a Housing Needs Assessment and the budget for Code Enforcement prior to determining a proposal such as the Temporary Dwelling Ordinance being a feasible option. Chair Schwab restated the motion with changes including recognizing the lack of code compliance and that the Housing Needs Assessment has not yet been completed the Planning Commission recommend the City Council not move forward with the Temporary Housing Ordinance. Commissioner Stanley seconded the motion. Chair Schwab asked for discussion. Commissioner Hopkins wanted to make it clear to the City Council that a lack of a financial commitment to code enforcement played a role in the recommendation given. All were in favor.

P&Z Application No. 18-41 | 215 North Francis Street Rezone Page 5 of 9 VI. FINDINGS OF FACT & STAFF ANALYSIS Analysis and findings of fact from City Staff are based on the entirety on the application materials, Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC), standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the review period. Collectively the information contained in the staff report is the record of the review. The findings and analysis in this report are a summary of the City Staff completed review. City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan All Rezone (REZ) applications must abide by the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. The following Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan policies are identified by Planning Division Staff to support the proposal in CUP Application No. 18-41: Land Use Element Goal: G-3A 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: P-3A.01 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 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. Policy: P-3A.02 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. Goal: G-3-D To create and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy. Policy: P-3-D.01 The City should encourage the recruitment of new and the retention of existing commercial developments and businesses, which are consistent with the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan. Staff Analysis: REZ Application 18-41 abides by and is consistent with the goals, policies, and intent of the Land Use Element. The rezone of 215 North Francis Street will provide the Georgiana with services that are compatible with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Port Angeles Municipal Code The following Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) provisions are seen as relevant to this application. Planning Division Staff provides comments under each provision as demonstration of the analysis that has occurred with the application review process and the findings of fact relevant to the application. P&Z Application No. 18-41 | 215 North Francis Street Rezone Page 6 of 9 Title 17 – Zoning PAMC Chapter17.03.020, “Zoning Map”, includes the purpose and direction of rezoning property in Port Angeles. A zoning map, showing the location and the boundaries of the various zones in the City, shall be established as the Official Zoning Map and shall be an integral part of these Zoning Regulations. The Zoning Map shall be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, and the land use designations on the Zoning Map shall be at the same or lesser intensity of uses and impacts on surrounding uses as the Comprehensive Plan Map. Where the zoning land use designation is at a lesser intensity than the comprehensive plan designation, a rezone may be granted if circumstances have been shown to be changed and the public use and interest is served. Where the zoning land use designation is at a greater intensity than the comprehensive plan designation, a rezone consistent with the comprehensive plan must be obtained before new development will be permitted. Staff Analysis: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the two lots as wholly within Commercial Use (see figure 1). Generally, Commercial Office (CO) zoning does not cross west of Francis Street north of Front Street. Zoning east of Francis Street is primarily CO zoning, and the zoning of the north half of Block 8 and Block 37 to the north is split between CO and RS-7, Residential Single Family. Any future proposal for the development of the two lots will be required to meet the standards of the Commercial Office zone located in Chapter 17.20 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. This zone is the City’s lowest intensity zone and is meant to act as a buffer between residential and higher intensity commercial zoning. Staff finds the propped zoning to comply with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Additional, Staff finds the proposed zoning is prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood and does not isolated or “split” zoning. Title 18 – Growth Management PAMC Chapter 18.02.070 – “Application Review Process”, includes guidance on the state mandated application review process set forth in RCW 36.70B. A. Public hearing limitation. There shall be no more than one open record hearing and one closed record appeal conducted by the City on any development application. B. Optional consolidated review. 1.

Consolidated permit review shall be limited to a single open record hearing and no more than one closed record appeal. P&Z Application No. 18-41 | 215 North Francis Street Rezone Page 7 of 9 4. In the case of consolidated project permit review, the Planning Commission shall conduct the single record public hearing and shall make the initial determination on the permits, which determination shall be either a recommendation or a final decision, depending on the processing requirements established by ordinance for each specific permit involved.

Olympic MedicalCenter (OMC) has purchased the property at 215 N Francis Street and requests to rezone this property from the current "RS7 - Single Family Residential" zoning to the more appropriate "CO - Commercial Office" zoning. The neighborhood surrounding 2t5 N Francis Street is in transition, from a single family residential neighborhood where RS7 was at one time an appropriate zone, to a mixed neighborhood of residences interspersed with medicalfacilities including the main OMC Hospitaland Emergency Room facilities, the Olympic Medical Physicians Clinic, the Northwest Kidney Center, and OMC Home Health. The trend of this neighborhood converting from primarily single family residential to medical facilities will almost certainly continue as the population of Port Angeles and the surrounding community grows. CO zoning allows for the íntermingling of single family residences with medical facilities, and much of the neighborhood near 215 N Francis Street is already zoned CO. The current City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan shows 215 N Francis in an area designated for "Commercial Land Use". Olympic Medical Center (OMC) has purchased the property at21..5 N Francis Street as a site for a new 30 stall parking lot to serve OMC's Home Health office suite just across the alley at 801 East Front Street. Rezoning Causes and Effects: Cause: Effects: Cause: Effects: Cause 215 N Francis Street is rezoned by OMC from RS7 to CO. Neighboring RS7-zoned properties can also be rezoned to CO, increasing these properties' resale values wíthout a corresponding increase property taxes, as long as usage remains residential (per Mr. Layton "Bud" Lund, Clallam County Assessor's Office, March 21,20L8l'. Even if owners of currently RS7-zoned neighboring properties choose not to rezone to CO along with 2L5 North Francis, their property values are enhanced by the relative ease with which these properties could be rezoned to CO in the future. The current gradual process of conversion of this neighborhood from strictly residential to mixed residential and medical business uses continues as foreseen in the current City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. OMC constructs a parking facility on 215 N Francis Street. Neighboring properties lose the vacant sub-standard home that currently exists at 2L5 N Francis Street, that is replaced by a quiet office building parkÍng lot with almost exclusively weekday daytime use. Adverse effects of the parking lot can be mitigated by downward directed lighting, trees and landscaping, and privacy fencing. A paved parking lot wíll increase the potential for stormwater runoff and water pollution. OMC intends to avoid the adverse effects of íncreased runoff and pollution by the use of permeable parking lot pavement and rain gardens if site subsurface conditions are found to make the stormwater infiltration option feasible.

Port Anseles, WA - continued Rezoning Application Project Narrative Questions and Answers: L. Why is current zoning inappropriate for the property? Parking for a commercial offÍce building is not listed as a "Permitted", "Accessory" , or "Conditiona l" use in an RS7 zoned area. 2. Why is the proposed zoning suitable for the property? Parking for an off-site commercial building is lísted a "Conditional" use fora CO zoned area. Also, CO zoning is designed to be compatible with, and to allow, residential uses. 3. What circumstances have changed since the original zoning? The neighborhood easterly of 21-5 N Francis Street and northerly of Front Street is gradually being converted to CO zoning. 4. How does the proposed zoning align with the policies of the current comprehensive plan? - The proposed zoning change from RS7 to CO is consistent with the current comprehensive plan, which shows 215 N Francis in an area designated for "Commercial Land Use".

Francis Street from RS-7 to Commercial Office. This seems to be a logical move for the Olympic Medical Center. The lot is between other business zoned buildings and residences. My only problem is the possible increase in traffic and parking in the area. The 800 block of Georgiana street is already a very congested mess during the week. With parking on both sides of the street Georgiana often becomes one way. The new parking lot in mid-block seems to be under used. Many of the cars parking on the street seem to be staff of the various clinics because the same cars are parked there all day. Add in client parking and the cars of the people living in the area along with traffic to the park and the mess deepens. Off street parking is a MUST HAVE item. But this only helps if drivers use it. Certainly staff parking can be regulate d??? And good useable parking at the new clinic must be part of the plan, Please make this a part of the plan. Thank you. Fredda f . Burton 732 Caraline St Port Angeles WA 98362 AU6 2 7 20ts APPENDIX A - PUBLIC COMMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ben Braudrick, Assistant Planner MEETING DATE: September 26, 2018 RE: Façade Grant Application for Peninsula Behavioral Health, 118 East 8th Street (Grant No. 18-10) APPLICANT: Peninsula Behavioral Health, 118 East 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 OWNER: Same LOCATION: 118 East 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the facade grant award amount of $10,000 toward the repainting of the building located at 118 East 8th Street to match the improvements being performed at 112 East 8th Street (Grant No. 18-10). PROJECT SUMMARY Peninsula Behavioral Health is requesting funding for the repainting of the office building located at 118 East 8th Street (Grant Application No. 18-10). The applicant is requesting these funds as part of a redesign of all of their facilities to ensure the office buildings are seen as part of a larger campus owned by Peninsula Behavioral across the majority of the northeastern block. A more in depth description of the proposed work and its intended outcome can be found in Attachment A Application materials to this document STAFF ANALYSIS The Community Façade and Sign Improvement Program was authorized by the City Council through the passing of ordinance. This authorization is represented in Chapter 2.80 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The Program will provide a grant for funding of façade improvements that will enhance the physical appearance, accessibility, and overall value of individual buildings as well as surrounding areas. In evaluating proposals for funding, Staff reviewed the “Evaluation criteria and prioritization” of Section 2.80.110: 1. Private contribution over and above the required match; Staff Analysis: Per the submitted budget, the applicant is providing above and beyond the required 50 percent match. The applicant is ready to begin work as soon as possible. 2. Present condition of existing façade: Staff Analysis: The façade is currently in an acceptable condition(see Figure 1). The end result of this process is a cohesive campus-like environment. Peninsula Behavioral Health at 118 East 8th Street, No. 18-12 September 26, 2018 Page 2 3. The buildings overall public visibility; Staff Analysis: The building has a high degree of visibility along 8th Street. Because of its operation as a mental health facility the Peninsula Behavioral Health organization also has a high amount of visibility within the community as a whole. The intent of the improvements is to create a more welcoming, positive attitude towards the use and make the office more approachable for those in need. 4. Expected increase in assessed value of improvement; Staff Analysis: The improvements will repainting the exterior of the building. The proposal is not increasing the size of the structure nor is it to greatly increase its assessed value. The intrinsic value of the changes proposed is anticipated to be high. The application narrative includes information concerning the community’s perception of mental health, and the importance for Peninsula Behavioral Health to create a campus that is attractive, cohesive, and approachable by all members of the community. 5. Historic Preservation; Staff Analysis: The date of construction is unknown, but records show building permits as far back as 1967, when a single family residence and detached garage was demolished and a Figure 1: Current eastern façade with proposed changes written in Peninsula Behavioral Health at 118 East 8th Street, No. 18-12 September 26, 2018 Page 3 cabinet shop was built on the site. There have been numerous improvements and additions made to the structure. The building could fall under the 50 year minimum age for historic designation under the National Historic Preservation Act, but at this time the building does not have any historic designation. 6. Context in the block or neighborhood; Staff Analysis: The building is very significant on the block, having a large façade on a zero lot line. This building is also a part of a greater campus that is also planned to be improved as part of a greater effort. 7. Benefit partner projects on same block; Staff Analysis: There have been two recent façade grants awarded on the north side of the 100 Block of East 8th Street 1. 111-115 East 8th Street, 8th Street Car Wash 2. 118 East 8th Street, Heckman Motors FINDINGS, CONDITIONS & CONCLUSIONS Staff determines the following findings based on Staff’s review of the Program’s criteria: Findings 1. The Façade and Signage Grant application (No. 18-10) was submitted by Peninsula Behavioral Health to the Department of Community and Economic Development on August 20th, 2018. Further information was requested for the grant proposal and was submitted to Staff on September 14th, 2018. 2. The location of the proposal is 118 East 8th Street. 3. The project site is located within the Community Shopping District (CSD) zone. 4. The grant request includes the repainting of portions of the entire building, including: a. A band of color to match 112 East 8th Street b. Repainting of a portion of the structure from red to white 5. The application was reviewed by Planning Division Staff under the Façade and Sign Grant Program criteria, as included in Chapter 2.80 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. 6. The applicant is requesting $10,000.00 toward façade improvements valued no more than $32,310. 7. The request will be heard by the Planning Commission at the regularly scheduled meeting September 26, 2018. 8. Conclusions Based on the findings above, Staff makes the following conclusions: 1. Grant Application No. 18-10 is found to provide for façade improvements that will enhance the physical appearance and overall value of the individual building and the surrounding area along the 8th Street corridor.

Fax: (360) 681-2808 Helping People Grow and Change www. peni nsula behavioral.org Peninsula Behavioral Health's (PBH) main building at 118 E. 8th Street holds 60 offices plus conference rooms and a sizeable multiuse room, but we are short on space. This month (August 2018) we are starting the renovation of the vacant portion of our building at 112 E. 8th Street (hereinafter 1 12 Building) to relocate the Children's Department to their own separate space, and we are requesting matching funds from the Department of Community and Economic Development to paint the exterior of both buildings. Peninsula Behavioral Health bought the main building in 2000. ln 2004-05 the 'East Wing' of the building was incorporated and the agency underwent a major re-modelto expand from 14,000 to 26,000 square feet. But today, that space is no longer adequate. Few people realize that PBH owns more than half of the entire city block on 8th and Lincoln. lt is perhaps because the 112 Building's exterior is cement blocks and the main building's exterior is stucco and blue-painted siding; there is no similarity that indicates we do business in both places. When the two buildings are painted the same color and display the same signage, the campus will be more prominent and far more attractive. Construction should be completed by January 2Q19. It is no secret that sections of Port Angeles suffer from unsightly businesses and homes, but investment in this project will be a considerable improvement in the neighborhood that is already coming back to life. The Heckmans recently bought the property across the street from PBH, and they have made significant progress. As City Planning Manager Alysson Brekke said about their project, "The Number 1 thing we are looking at is having a blighted corner coming back to lífe". (Peninsula Daily News on February 11,2018) A study by the University of Wisconsin found that improved storefronts generally increase the number of first-time customers and that these properties are often then perceived to have better use; some nearby businesses often enjoy increased sales. We are proud to be in a position that helps revitalize of a main intersection of Port Angeles at 8th and Lincoln. Although PBH's aim is not to increase its 'customer base', we do hope that our project will attract clients who have thus far been reluctant to seek out services. Unfortunately, negative attitudes and beliefs toward people who have a mental health condition are common. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) noted that stigma can result in a lower prioritization of public resources and poorer quality of care - we cannot let this be the case in our County!

Unfortunately, negative attitudes and beliefs toward people who have a mental health condition are common. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) noted that stigma can result in a lower prioritization of public resources and poorer quality of care - we cannot let this be the case in our County! Overall, increased awareness is one of the most important things that can be done to counteract stereotypes. The stigma of mental illness is a barrier to care, but we can help sway that perception by applauding the community's mental health clinic and not ignoring it. This new building will be more than bricks and mortar; it will be a powerful statement that PBH is a vital cog in the community wheel. Last year we served over 3,000 individuals, and 708 of them were children between the ages of 3 years old and 19 years old (most are in the younger range); our current facilities are not adequate to treat this many clients. The 1 12 Building is an eyesore. lts renovation will not only allow the agency to offer more services to more community members, but it will also further improve the arterial street when our two buildings coordinate with one another.

TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ben Braudrick, Assistant Planner MEETING DATE: September 26, 2018 RE: Façade Grant Application for Peninsula Behavioral Health, 112 East 8th Street (Grant No. 18-11) APPLICANT: Peninsula Behavioral Health, 118 East 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 OWNER: Same LOCATION: 112 East 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the facade grant award amount of $10,000 toward the reconstruction of the front entry and entry access, replacement of the entry awning, and the repainting of the building located at 112 East 8th Street(Grant No. 18-11). PROJECT SUMMARY Peninsula Behavioral Health is requesting funding for the reconstruction of the front entry access, replacement of the entry awning, and repainting of the office building located at 112 East 8th Street (Grant Application No. 18-10). The applicant is requesting these funds as part of a redesign of all of their facilities to ensure the office buildings are seen as part of a larger campus owned by Peninsula Behavioral across the majority of the northeastern block. A more in depth description of the proposed work and its intended outcome can be found in Attachment A. STAFF ANALYSIS The Community Façade and Sign Improvement Program was authorized by the City Council through the passing of ordinance. This authorization is represented in Chapter 2.80 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The Program will provide a grant for funding of façade improvements that will enhance the physical appearance, accessibility, and overall value of individual buildings as well as surrounding areas. In evaluating proposals for funding, Staff reviewed the “Evaluation criteria and prioritization” of Section 2.80.110: 1. Private contribution over and above the required match; Peninsula Behavioral Health at 112 East 8th Street, No. 18-11 September 26, 2018 Page 2 Staff Analysis: Per the submitted budget, the applicant is providing above and beyond the required 50 percent match. The applicant is ready to begin work as soon as possible. 2. Present condition of existing façade: Staff Analysis: The façade is currently in disrepair (see figures 1 & 2). The end result of this process is a cohesive campus-like environment. 3. The buildings overall public visibility; Staff Analysis: The building has a high degree of visibility along 8th Street. Because of its operation as a mental health facility the Peninsula Behavioral Health organization also has a high amount of visibility within the community as a whole. The intent of the improvements is to create a more welcoming, positive attitude towards the use and make the office more approachable for those in need. 4. Expected increase in assessed value of improvement; Staff Analysis: The improvements will reconstruct a deck with higher quality and longer lasting materials. The proposal is not increasing the interior size of the structure. 5. Historic Preservation; Staff Analysis: The date of construction is unknown, but records show building permits as far back as 1976.It’s possible the building could fall under the 50 year minimum age for historic designation under the National Historic Preservation Act, but at this time the building does not have any historic designation. 6. Context in the block or neighborhood; Staff Analysis: The building is very significant on the block, especially for eastbound traffic. This building is also a part of a greater campus that is also planned to be improved as part of a greater effort. 7. Benefit partner projects on same block; Staff Analysis: There have been two recent façade grants awarded on the north side of the 100 Block of East 8th Street 1. 111-115 East 8th Street, 8th Street Car Wash Figure 2: Current western facade Figure 1: Current eastern facade Peninsula Behavioral Health at 112 East 8th Street, No. 18-11 September 26, 2018 Page 3 2. 118 East 8th Street, Heckman Motors FINDINGS, CONDITIONS & CONCLUSIONS Staff determines the following findings based on Staff’s review of the Program’s criteria: Findings 1.

Further information was requested for the grant proposal and were submitted to Staff on September 14th, 2018. 2. The location of the proposal is 112 East 8th Street. 3. The project site is located within the Community Shopping District (CSD) zone. 4. The grant request includes the repair and improvement of the east and north facades, including: a. Reconstruction the building’s entryway and awning b. Repainting of the facade 5. The application was reviewed by Planning Division Staff under the Façade and Sign Grant Program criteria, as included in Chapter 2.80 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. 6. The applicant is requesting $10,000.00 toward façade improvements valued no more than $87,475. Figure 3: Proposed Improvements Peninsula Behavioral Health at 112 East 8th Street, No. 18-11 September 26, 2018 Page 4 7. The request will be heard by the Planning Commission at the regularly scheduled meeting September 26, 2018. 8. Conclusions Based on the findings above, Staff makes the following conclusions: 1. Grant Application No. 18-11 is found to provide for façade improvements that will enhance the physical appearance and overall value of the individual building and the surrounding area along the 8th Street corridor. 2.

This month (August 2018) we are starting the renovation of the vacant portion of our building at 112 E. 8th Street (hereinafter 1 12 Building) to relocate the Children's Department to their own separate space, and we are requesting matching funds from the Department of Community and Economic Development to paint the exterior of both buildings. Peninsula Behavioral Health bought the main building in 2000. ln 2004-05 the 'East Wing' of the building was incorporated and the agency undenruent a major re-modelto expand from 14,000 to 26,000 square feet. But today, that space is no longer adequate. Few people realize that PBH owns more than half of the entire city block on 8th and Lincoln. lt is perhaps because the 112 Building's exterior is cement blocks and the main building's exterior is stucco and blue-painted siding; there is no similarity that indicates we do business in both places.

TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ben Braudrick, Assistant Planner MEETING DATE: September 26, 2018 RE: Façade Grant Application for Habitat for Humanity, 728 East Front Street (Grant No. 18-12) APPLICANT: Habitat for Humanity, PO Box 3056, Port Angeles, WA 98362 OWNER: Same LOCATION: 728 East Front Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the facade grant award amount of $7,600 toward the repainting of the entire façade of the building located at 728 East Front Street(Grant No. 18-12). PROJECT SUMMARY Habitat for Humanity is requesting funding for the repainting of the office building located at 728 East Front Street (Grant Application No. 18-12). The applicant is requesting these funds as part of a celebration of 10 years of occupancy in the building as the Habitat Store. A more in depth description of the proposed work and its intended outcome can be found in “Attachment A” to this document. STAFF ANALYSIS The Community Façade and Sign Improvement Program was authorized by the City Council through the passing of ordinance #3476. This authorization is represented in Chapter 2.80 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The Program will provide a grant for funding of façade improvements that will enhance the physical appearance, accessibility, and overall value of Figure 1: Current northern facade Habitat for Humanity at 728 East Front Street, No. 18-12 September 26, 2018 Page 2 individual buildings as well as surrounding areas. In evaluating proposals for funding, Staff reviewed the “Evaluation criteria and prioritization” of Section 2.80.110: 1. Private contribution over and above the required match; Staff Analysis: Per the submitted budget, the applicant is providing the required 50 percent match. The applicant is ready to begin work as soon as possible. 2. Present condition of existing façade: Staff Analysis: The façade is is not currently in disrepair(see figures 1 & 2). The end result of this process is a building that is more attractive to passersby and identifiable as part of the Habitat for Humanity Organization. 3. The buildings overall public visibility; Staff Analysis: The building has a high degree of visibility along Front Street. The warehouse portion of the structure is located on the southwestern corner of the Front/Francis Street Intersection, making it highly visible on the one-way westbound Front Street. 4. Expected increase in assessed value of improvement; Staff Analysis: The improvements will greatly improve the aesthetic value of the entire block. The building historically was a commercially zoned storage facility and currently has a very industrial aesthetic. The proposed paint job will help breath life into the commercial corridor and help to create identity for Habitat for Humanity along the block. 5. Historic Preservation; Staff Analysis: The initial date of construction for the warehouse is unknown, but records show building permits as far back as 1972 for the office addition to the warehouse to the west known as 728 East Front Street. Since then many building permits have been pulled for continued additions and structural maintenance and has supported several different occupants .It’s possible the building could fall under the 50 year minimum age for historic designation under the National Historic Preservation Act, but at this time the building does not have any historic designation. Figure 2: Current northwestern facade Habitat for Humanity at 728 East Front Street, No. 18-12 September 26, 2018 Page 3 6. Context in the block or neighborhood; Staff Analysis: The building is very significant on the block, especially for westbound traffic. The building inhabits half of the northern block between Francis and Eunice Streets. Currently, the eastern wall of the warehouse is blank. The proposed painting of the building will provide human scale for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike. 7. Benefit partner projects on same block; Staff Analysis: There has been one recent façade grants awarded on the north side of the 700 Block of East Front Street. 1. 625 East Front Street, Imagine it Framed FINDINGS, CONDITIONS & CONCLUSIONS Staff determines the following findings based on Staff’s review of the Program’s criteria: Findings 1.

This building was built in 1972 and has served the Community of Port Angeles as many different businesses, Cash & Carry grocery store, Pacific Office Furniture outlet to name just a few. The improvements of this building by painting the exterior, which faces West bound Front Street, a major artery to the downtown corridor of the City of Port Angeles would greatly enhance the presentation of the property to travelers to our City as well as current and future residents. The business ofthe Habitat Store continues to grow and gross sales increase year over year. Generating 58,473 in sales tax to City of Port Angeles for fiscal Vear 2OL7120L8. To celebrate our 10th Anniversary we want to have a facelift on the exterior of the building. lt has not been updated in the 10 years that the Habitat Store has been the tenant, we have no record of when the last time there was any exterior improvements prior to the Habitat Store renting the space in 2008. The exterior of the building would be painted in the colors of Habitat for Humanity lnternational approved branding as shown in the attached rendering. All signage attached to the building would be replaced with new signage. Our intention is for work to begin mid to late September and be done mid to late October. We plan to have our 10th Anniversary Celebration throughout November and December with sales, promot¡ons and customer appreciation activities throughout those 2 months. The Habitat Store is Sq. ft. IA,044 - Retail sales floor 5,591 and the remaining 4,453 is used for production of donated items. All appliances and electrical items are tested, cleaned and refurbished, furniture is thoroughly cleaned and sure to be in good working order prior to being displayed on the sales floor, over 402 TONS of useable items out of our landfill for fiscal year 2077/2018 alone!
