RE: Conditional Use Permit - CUP 07-06
APPLICANT: David Burns
OWNER: Same
LOCATION: 1129 W. 16th Street
REQUEST: Accessory Residential Unit in an RS-7 Residential Single Family zone
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 07-06 with 5
conditions, citing 10 findings and 5 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A to
this staff report.
EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA
The subject property is located on 16th Street between "D" Street and "E" Street. Nearby lots are
generally typical of Townsite development in size and dimension. The subject site measures 140 feet
in depth by 50 feet in width and is approximately 7,000 square feet in area. No environmentally
sensitive areas exist on the site. The site is accessed from 16th Street, which is an improved local
access street. The site has a slope of approximately 2% or less. The application and site maps are
attached as Attachment C.
Development in the area predominately consists of single family residential structures. Stevens
Middle School exists one block to the north of the subject site and Lincoln Park is located one block
west of the site. The RS-7 zone is primarily single family residential. Accessory Residential Units
are allowable as a conditional use in RS-7 Zones. Properties along south "C" Street are commercial,
industrial and multi-family. The nearest multi-family use is located approximately 1,000 feet to the
south of the site at intersection of West 17th and "C" Streets in the RHD Residential High Density
zone.
AGENCY COMMENTS
City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments:
The Fire Department had no objections or comments.
Cs�orYdii'onal Use PernM UP 07-06 Burns Page 2
?auriel2Z,;2O07
The Public Works and Utilities Department commented that:
1. Four (4) off street parking spaces will be required. A parking plan is required.
2. Separate electrical meters are required for each unit.
3. Separate water meters are required for each unit.
4. Sanitary sewer may be co-shared with 1129 W. 16th
5. The address for the ARU shall be 1129 '/2 W. 16th.
6. Overhead electrical service wires must have required clearances from buildings
or be converted to underground. An electrical plan shall be submitted.
The Building Division of DCED commented that building permit is required for the construction.
Construction will be per International Residential Code requirements.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on June 7, 2007, posted
on the site on June 4, 2007, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on
June 4, 2007. A comment letter signed by 12 neighboring individuals was received during the public
comment period for the proposal that ended June 19, 2007. The letter writers expressed concerns
including an increase in traffic in the area, on-site parking, the run-down appearance of the site due to
the applicant being an absentee landlord, and loss of the single family character of the neighborhood.
In consideration of those comments, the following analysis is provided: Parking for accessory
residential units is required to be developed and located on-site. The applicant is required to provide
a parking plan that will be reviewed and must be approved by the Public Works and Utilities
Department prior to the issuance a building permit for the ARU.
The letter indicated that there are several multi-family dwellings in the area and that addition of an
ARU would change the single family character of the neighborhood. The multi-family dwellings
mentioned in the letters are all located within commercial zones that are located near to the subject
site, and are permitted uses in those zones. The proposed ARU, as conditioned will fit into the
residential character of a single family neighborhood and is consistent with the goals and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan in that accessory residential units provide variety in housing options.
The physical character of the site and the issue of the applicant being an absentee landlord are not
matters that can be considered during the review process for the ARU. Recent conversations with the
property owner indicate that recent changes in occupancy have occurred. The proposed project will
result in improvements to the appearance of the site.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The table below indicates the current and proposed bulk and dimensional requirements for the RS-7
zone. Minor changes to the original site plan have been made so that the required setbacks and lot
coverage have been achieved.

Per PAMC 17.11.040(A), an accessory residential unit (ARU) requires a conditional use permit when
proposed in a residential single family zone. An ARU may be no larger than 50% the size of the
primary unit. The total square footage of the existing house is 1,104 square feet. The proposed
accessory residential unit consists of a 551 sq. ft. dwelling unit that will be located on the site
adjacent to the existing garage. The ARU is 50%the size of the single family residence.
PAMC 17.10.050(A)(4) indicates that a site may have no more than 30% of the site covered by
buildings. As originally proposed, the plan indicates that there will be a total of 2,135 square feet of
building coverage. This is 35 square feet or 0.5% over the maximum allowed. The applicant has
modified the plan by removing the south 2 feet of the garage facing the alley. This will reduce the
total square footage of lot coverage to be within the required 30% and provide an additional two feet
between the garage and the alley to accommodate the required parking area, with two spaces
provided in the existing garage and two others between the alley and the garage.
PAMC 14.40.060(D) requires two off-street parking spaces for each residential unit for a total of four
off-street parking spaces. The site plan and application materials denote two parking spaces on the
property as well as a two car garage in order to satisfy this requirement for a minimum of four (4) off
street parking spaces.
Separate utility connections (both water and electric) will be required as a condition of approval.
The proposal is consistent with the relevant sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and the
Comprehensive Plan.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE INFORMATION
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. Any project
proposed in the City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies the site as being in the North Central Planning Area
and designates the site as being Low Density Residential. The Comprehensive Plan's policies have
been reviewed with regard to the proposed application and the policies identified in Attachment B to
this staff report are found to be the most relevant to the proposal.
Single family and multi-family residences are legitimate components of district development. The
proposal would allow for a density that is in compliance with low density residential areas.
Residential Land Use Element
Policy A 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.
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.
Policy C 2: Residential land 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.
Housing Element
Policy B 6: Adequate low and moderate income housing opportunities should be provided within the
Port Angeles Planning Area.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It
establishes what types of uses are permitted in specific zones, definitions of uses, and 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
subject property as RS-7 Residential Single Family. Surrounding properties are predominately zoned
RS-7 Residential Single Family with some nearby Public Building and Parks zoning (Stevens Middle
School and Lincoln Park) approximately 450 feet to the north and west. Specific sections applicable
to accessory residential development in the RS-7 are listed below for reference.
Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.08.040(A) establishes that accessory residential
units are permitted in the RS-7 zone by conditional use permit.
Conditional Use Permit CUP 07-06 Burns Page 8
June 27,2007
PANIC Section 17.08.010(B) defines an Accessory Residential Unit as "a dwelling unit which is
incidental to a detached single family residence, is subordinate in space (i.e., fifty percent or less
space than the single family residential use), and is located on the same zoning lot as the single family
residence. An accessory residential unit is served by water and electrical service that is separate from
the primary residential service and has a separate address."
PANIC Section 17.08.025(J) defines a dwelling unit as "one or more rooms which are arranged,
designed, or used as living quarters for one family only. Individual bathrooms are not necessarily
provided, but complete single kitchen facilities, permanently installed, shall always be included for
each dwelling unit."
Port Angeles Municipal Code (PANIC) Section 17.10.010 states the purpose of the RS-7 Zone as
follows:
"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 compatible with and functionally related to a single family
residential environment may also be located in this zone"
PANIC 17.96.050 specifies procedures for the review and processing of conditional use permit
applications, as follows:
17.96.050 Conditional Use Permit
A. The Planning Commission shall consider applications for Conditional Use Permits of
uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning
Commission may grant said permits which are consistent and compatible with the
purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. The Planning Commission may
refuse to issue a Conditional Use Permit if the characteristics of the intended use as
related to the specific proposed site are such as would defeat the purpose of these
Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions.
B. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or
conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and
to prevent depreciation of neighboring property.
C. Purpose of a Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall
be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained.
The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with respect to the particular use
of the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses within
the general area in which such use is to be located.

RE: ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNIT APPLICATION-1129 W 16TH ST
APPLICANT-DAVE BURNS
To Whom It May Concern:
We, the undersigned, are writing in response to the notice sent by the City of Port
Angeles regarding the conditional use permit for an Accessory Residential Unit at 1129
W. 16th St. As homeowners of single family homes in this block we would like to state
our opposition to the granting of a conditional use permit that would permit Mr. Burns to
turn an existing/or new garage structure into another residence on a lot that already holds
a single family residence. We feel it will be detrimental to the character of a block with
single family homes and also will adversely affect property values. Parking for two
residences on one single lot will become an issue that is sure to affect everyone on the
block. It was our understanding that all residences were to have two off street parking
spaces. Would this mean that 1129 would now be required to have 4 spaces., and if so
where? The only available space would then be the front yard which would make it
commercial in appearance. Another concern for other property owners in this block is
that Mr. Burns is an absentee landlord. When questioned regarding the run-down state of
this property in question up until a month ago, his reply was that he�would need to hire a
different_property manager. Will this really make any difference? Mr. Burn's property
was the scene of a tragic underage drinking death several-years ago and the death
occurred in a trailer on the property that was being used as a living quarters.
This general area is highly saturated with rentals/ and multiple family dwellings (i:e.-
several on C Street, Lauridsen, etc) and we would hope to maintain the remaining single
family residential areas. It will add a lot of traffic to this neighborhood, especially in the
alley. We also feel it will create a safety issue for Steven's Middle School students, many
of whom walk to school.
We ask that you review and take into account the wishes and desires of those
homeowners who are closest to the lot in question and will be the ones who will suffer
the effects of this decision. C,,

turn an existing/or new garage structure into another residence on a lot that already holds
a single family residence. We feel it will be detrimental to the character of a block with
single family homes and also will adversely affect property values. Parking for two
residences on one single lot will become.an issue that is sure to affect everyone on the
block. It was our understanding that all residences were to have two off street parking
spaces. Would this mean that 1129 would now be required to have 4 spaces, and if so
where? The only available space would'then be the front yard which would make it
commercial in appearance. Another concern for other property owners in this block is
that Mr. Burns is an absentee landlord. When questioned regarding the run-down state of
this property in question up until a month ago, his reply was that he would need to hire a
different property manager. Will this really make any difference? Mr. Burn's property
was the scene of a tragic underage drinking death several years ago and the death
occurred in a trailer on the property that was being used as a living quarters.
This general area is highly saturated with rentals/ and multiple family dwellings ( i.e.-
several on C Street, Lauridsen, etc) and we would hope to maintain the remaining single
family residential areas. It will add a lot of traffic to this neighborhood, especially in the
alley. We also feel it will create a safety issue for Steven's Middle School students, many
of whom walk to school.
We ask that you review and take into account the wishes and desires of those
homeowners who are closest to the lot in question and will be the ones who will suffer
the effects of this decision.

RCW 191-11-960 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW. requires all governmental
agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable
significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to
provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to
reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide
whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This Environmental Checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of
your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly,
with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most
cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans
without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not
apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the
questions,now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental
agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all ,parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impacts.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does
not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT
ACTIONS (part D).
For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project", "applicant", and
"property or site", should be read as "proposal", "proposer", and "affected geographic area",

11. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the
size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you
to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on
this page.
I would like to build an accessory dwelling unit on the back of my property at 1129
West 16th. I plan to take advantage of the maximum square footage allowed which will
be 55,E square feet (1/2 the size of the primary unit).
The unit will be one story and would be connected to the existing garage located off of
the alley. It will be oriented.so its front entrance faces the alley which will be
landscaped with a white picket fence to present the appearance of a front yard. It will
be designed to be architecturally compatible and complementary to the primary unit and
the surrounding neighborhood. It will have siding and color to match the existing
home. I plan blank walls in the.back of the ADU to provide privacy for the main unit,
and there will be a private side yard that is fenced for the accessory unit.
The unit will initially be used as a rental. If rented to college students it may also be
utilized as a summer home when we visit relatives in Joyce. After retirement it may be
used as a second home for vacations to the area or it may continue in a rental capacity.
My wife and I do not have any solid retirement plans at this time. But, we both like
Port Angeles, have relatives in this area, and like the ties to the community. The ADU
will provide us additional options.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the
precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section,
township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide
the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity
map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans
required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans
submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the
list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate
than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.

production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances, or production of noise?
Not applicable.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Not applicable.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish or marine life?
Because this proposal is a non-project action, no effects will be made to the environment.
However, the amendments will focus on regulation and development of Low Density
Residential areas with wetlands and are designed to reduce environmental impacts to
these sensitive areas.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
See response above .
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Not applicable.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:

areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites,wetland, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Environmental Checklist
Page 16
The amendments are designed to reduce the impact of developments adjacent to
wetlands.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The amendments are designed to reduce impact to wetlands by increasing lot size and
reducing density on lands adjacent to wetlands.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
See response to item 4 above. In addition, the amendments will better implement the
intent of the residential section of our Comprehensive Land Use Plan and will comply
with the requirements of GMA to obtain a minimum density of 4 units per "net acre"
unless environmentally sensitive factors make a lower density more prudent.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
The amendment can be considered a mitigating condition for this purpose.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation
or public services and utilities?
Not applicable..
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Not applicable.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or other
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposal will clarify the intent of the Low Density 0-4 zone to provide a range of lot
sizes and housing to provide choices and to reduce impacts to wetland areas. It will
comply with GMA by providing appropriate land use adjacent to sensitive areas and
achieve a density of at least 4 units per "net acre" unless environmental factors make a
lower density more prudent.

.`4, Dear Mr. and Mrs. Shamp:
figs ' + Q Thank you for your letter of June 18, 2007, stating your concerns regarding a proposal for an
"' a + accessory residential unit for property in your neighborhood at 1129 West 16"' Street. The
, Planning Commission discussed the contents of your letter in detail on June 27, 2007, at the .
` � P -public hearing,the Commission did approve the permit.
scheduled public hearing. Following the
This letter is to briefly explain those details to you.
During the course of the public hearing, Planning Commissioners questioned the property owner
z uv at length regarding his plans for renovation of the forlorn property. In turn, Mr. Burns explained
y't �6, in detail his plans to renovate the site and to eventually occupy it upon his retirement..While the
. Commission expressed disappointment and some disbelief that Mr. Burns, as property owner, . .
had not taken action to correct the site conditions and misuse of the roe that ou'described .
P p Y.
in your letter, those activities or lack of care are not land use issues that can be the subject of land
use permitting. Certainly they may reviewed as code enforcement issues. The Commission is
charged with reviewing land use applications under specific criteria prescribed in the Municipal
x Code. It was under these criteria that the permit was issued with the conditions attached.
bN
z;
I believe that Mr. Burns has been made aware of the scrutiny that the property has come under by
,
both the City and the neighborhood. _I have spoken to him since the meeting, and he-has assured
K me that he intends to go forward in productive,proactive manner.
I understand the feelings that occur when a neighborhood objection is raised and it appears that
. no one listens. We listened. Please feel free at any time to report issues that you have regarding
this, or any such property in your.neighborhood thatis of concern to this Department, and we
'
will try within our power to take those actions that we are permitted to take.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP 07-06-BURNS 1129 W. 16"' Street:
Accessory Residential Unit in an RS-7 Residential Single Family zone.
Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed the Department Report recommending approval
of the conditional use permit with conditions. Mr. Johns explained that the garage structure on the
site will be significantly remodeled into the accessory residential unit. The structure will be
shortened by two feet to accommodate the maximum lot coverage allowed in the RS-7 zone. On site
parking will accommodate at least four vehicles.
Mr. Johns responded to a question from a commissioner regarding the location of utility
services and noted that the Department will be reviewing building and site plans during the
redevelopment/remodel to ensure that development standards are met.
Planning Manager Roberds noted that utility services will be located prior to the approval
of development plans such that structures do not cover those services.
Chair Beier opened the public hearing.
Dave Burns, 608 School Street,Lacey, Washington described his background as a planner
for the City of Lacey,and applauded the City's efforts in establishing accessory residential units,per
the intent of the State's Growth Management Act, in an effort to increase densities. He provided
an in depth history of his ownership of the site, and detailed the series of unfortunate events
surrounding the recent occupancy of the site by renters that had been described in comment letters
from the neighbors. Mr. Burns continued speaking with regard to development of the site and
improvement plans. He stated his intention to return to Port Angeles at a future time and occupy the
site in his retirement. The accessory residence would provide rental income at that time.
Commissioner Kidd noted that the site is on a main thoroughfare and has been in a run down
condition for some time, which is unfortunate. She noted that the property owner is ultimately
responsible for the property. The type of problems outlined in letters from the neighbors regarding
the condition of the site and with the renter could have been prevented with a little communication.
Parking is tight on the site and it does not appear that there is room for parking off the alley on this
site for four parking spaces, as is required by City code for two residential uses.
Mike Peabody, 1125 West 16`I'Street has been the adjoining neighbor for the past 18 years.
He stated that Mr. Burns is very good to work with, and that his remodel plans will result in
development that will complement the neighborhood. He asked that the permit be approved.
There being no further discussion, Chair Beier closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Reiss moved to approve the conditional use permit citing 5 conditions,
10 findings, and 5 conclusions in support of the action as follows:
Conditions:
1. Separate electrical and water meters are required for each dwelling unit.
2. Addressing for each dwelling unit shall be clearly identified as 1129 and 1129 '/2 West
16" Street. Address numbers must be at least six (6) inches in height, readily visible from
the street, and of contrasting color from their background.
3. Two (2) off-street parking spaces are required for each residential dwelling unit for a total
of four(4) on-site parking spaces to be developed per Public Works and Utilities
Department standards.

The Planning Commission may grant said permits which are consistent and compatible
with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. In each application
the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions are considered
essential to protect the public health, safety, welfare, and to prevent depreciation of
neighboring property. Conditional uses shall be evaluated to determine if the
characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific proposed site would defeat the
purpose of the City's Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or
hazardous conditions. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a conditional use
permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the purpose of the City's
zoning regulations.

DATE: June 27, 2007
RE: Conditional Use Permit - CUP 07-06
APPLICANT: David Burns
OWNER: Same
LOCATION: 1129 W. 16th Street
REQUEST: Accessory Residential Unit in an RS-7 Residential Single Family zone
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 07-06 with 5
conditions, citing 10 findings and 5 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A to
this staff report.
EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA
The subject property is located on 16th Street between "D" Street and "E" Street. Nearby lots are
generally typical of Townsite development in size and dimension. The subject site measures 140 feet
in depth by 50 feet in width and is approximately 7,000 square feet in area. No environmentally
sensitive areas exist on the site. The site is accessed from 16th Street, which is an improved local
access street. The site has a slope of approximately 2% or less. The application and site maps are
attached as Attachment C.
Development in the area predominately consists of single family residential structures. Stevens
Middle School exists one block to the north of the subject site and Lincoln Park is located one block
west of the site. The RS-7 zone is primarily single family residential. Accessory Residential Units
are allowable as a conditional use in RS-7 Zones. Properties along south "C" Street are commercial,
industrial and multi-family. The nearest multi-family use is located approximately 1,000 feet to the.
south of the site at intersection of West 17th and "C" Streets in the RHD Residential High Density
zone.
AGENCY COMMENTS
City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments:
The Fire Department had no objections or comments.
Conditional Use Permit CUP 07-06 Burns Page 2
June 27,2007
The Public Works and Utilities Department commented that:
1. Four (4) off street parking spaces will be required. A parking plan is required.
2. Separate electrical meters are required for each unit.
3. Separate water meters are required for each unit.
4. Sanitary sewer may be co-shared with 1129 W. 16tH
5. The address for the ARU shall be 1129 t/2 W. 16th.
6. Overhead electrical service wires must have required clearances from buildings
or be converted to underground. An electrical plan shall be submitted.
The Building Division of DCED commented that building permit is required for the construction.
Construction will be per International Residential Code requirements.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on June 7, 2007, posted
on the site on June 4, 2007, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on
June 4, 2007. A comment letter signed by 12 neighboring individuals was received during the public
comment period for the proposal that ended June 19, 2007. The letter writers expressed concerns
including an increase in traffic in the area, on-site parking, the run-down appearance of the site due to
the applicant being an absentee landlord, and loss of the single family character of the neighborhood.
In consideration of those comments, the following analysis is provided: Parking for accessory
residential units is required to be developed and located on-site. The applicant is required to provide
a parking plan that will be reviewed and must be approved by the Public Works and Utilities
Department prior to the issuance a building permit for the ARU.
The letter indicated that there are several multi-family dwellings in the area and that addition of an
ARU would change the single family character of the neighborhood. The multi-family dwellings
mentioned in the letters are all located within commercial zones that are located near to the subject
site, and are permitted uses in those zones. The proposed ARU, as conditioned will fit into the
residential character of a single family neighborhood and is consistent with the goals and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan in that accessory residential units provide variety in housing options.
The physical character of the site and the issue of the applicant being an absentee landlord are not
matters that can be considered during the review process for the ARU. Recent conversations with the
property owner indicate that recent changes in occupancy have occurred. The proposed project will
result in improvements to the appearance of the site.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The table below indicates the current and proposed bulk and dimensional requirements for the RS-7
zone. Minor changes to the original site plan have been made so that the required setbacks and lot
coverage have been achieved.

Maximum lot coverage 30% 22.6% 29.9%
Per PAMC 17.11.040(A), an accessory residential unit (ARU) requires a conditional use permit when
proposed in a residential single family zone. An ARU may be no larger than 50%the size of the
primary unit. The total square footage of the existing house is 1,104 square feet. The proposed
accessory residential unit consists of a 551 sq. ft. dwelling unit that will be located on the site
adjacent to the existing garage. The ARU is 50% the size of the single family residence.
PAMC 17.10.050(A)(4) indicates that a site may have no more than 30% of the site covered by
buildings. As originally proposed, the plan indicates that there will be a total of 2,135 square feet of
building coverage. This is 35 square feet or 0.5% over the maximum allowed. The applicant has
modified the plan by removing the south 2 feet of the garage facing the alley. This will reduce the
total square footage of lot coverage to be within the required 30% and provide an additional two feet
between the garage and the alley to accommodate the required parking area, with two spaces
provided in the existing garage and two others between the alley and the garage.
PAMC 14.40.060(D) requires two off-street parking spaces for each residential unit for a total of four
off-street parking spaces. The site plan and application materials denote two parking spaces on the
property as well as a two car garage in order to satisfy this requirement for a minimum of four(4) off
street parking spaces.
Separate utility connections (both water and electric) will be required as a condition of approval.
The proposal is consistent with the relevant sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and the
Comprehensive Plan.

The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. Any project
proposed in the City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies the site as being in the North Central Planning Area
and designates the site as being Low Density Residential. The Comprehensive Plan's policies have
been reviewed with regard to the proposed application and the policies identified in Attachment B to
this staff report are found to be the most relevant to the proposal.
Single family and multi-family residences are legitimate components of district development. The
proposal would allow for a density that is in compliance with low density residential areas.
Residential Land Use Element
Policy A 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.
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.
Policy C 2: Residential land 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.
Housing Element
Policy B 6: Adequate low and moderate income housing opportunities should be provided within the
Port Angeles Planning Area.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It
establishes what types of uses are permitted in specific zones, definitions of uses, and 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
subject property as RS-7 Residential Single Family. Surrounding properties are predominately zoned
RS-7 Residential Single Family with some nearby Public Building and Parks zoning (Stevens Middle
School and Lincoln Park) approximately 450 feet to the north and west. Specific sections applicable
to accessory residential development in the RS-7 are listed below for reference.
Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.08.040(A) establishes that accessory residential
units are permitted in the RS-7 zone by conditional use permit.
Conditional Use Permit CUP 07-06 Burn, Page 8
June 27,2007
PAMC Section 17.08.010(B) defines an Accessory Residential Unit as "a dwelling unit which is
incidental to a detached single family residence, is subordinate in space (i.e., fifty percent or less
space than the single family residential use), and is located on the same zoning lot as the single family
residence. An accessory residential unit is served by water and electrical service that is separate from
the primary residential service and has a separate address."
PAMC Section 17.08.025(J) defines a dwelling unit as "one or more rooms which are arranged,
designed, or used as living quarters for one family only. Individual bathrooms are not necessarily
provided, but complete single kitchen facilities, permanently installed, shall always be included for
each dwelling unit."
Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.10.010 states the purpose of the RS-7 Zone as
follows:
"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 compatible with and functionally related to a single family
residential environment may also be located in this zone"
PAMC 17.96.050 specifies procedures for the review and processing of conditional use permit
applications, as follows:
17.96.050 Conditional Use Permit
A. The Planning Commission shall consider applications for Conditional Use Permits of
uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning
Commission may grant said permits which are consistent and compatible with the
purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. The Planning Commission may
refuse to issue a Conditional Use Permit if the characteristics of the intended use as
related to the specific proposed site are such as would defeat the purpose of these
Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions.
B. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or
conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and
to prevent depreciation of neighboring property.
C. Purpose of a Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall
be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained.
The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with respect to the particular use
of the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses within
the general area in which such use is to be located.

RE: ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNIT APPLICATION-1129 W 16TH ST
APPLICANT-DAVE BURNS
To Whom It May Concern:
We,the undersigned, are writing in response to the notice sent by the City of Port
Angeles regarding the conditional use permit for an Accessory Residential Unit at 1129
W. 16th St. As homeowners of single family homes in this block we would like to state
our opposition to the granting of a conditional use permit that would permit Mr. Burns to
turn an existing/or new garage structure into another residence on a lot that already holds
a single family residence. We feel it will be detrimental to the character of a block with
single family homes and also will adversely affect property values. Parking for two
residences on one single lot will become an issue that is sure to affect everyone on the
block. It was our understanding that all residences were to have two off street parking
spaces. Would this mean that 1129 would now be required to have 4 spaces, and if so
where? The only available space would then be the front yard which would make it
commercial in appearance. Another concern for other property owners in this block is
that Mr. Burns is an absentee landlord. When questioned regarding the run-down state of
this property in question up until a month ago,his reply was that he would need to hire a
different property manager. Will this really make any difference? Mr. Burn's property
was the scene of a tragic underage drinking death several years ago and the death
occurred in a trailer on the property that was being used as a living quarters.
This general area is highly saturated with rentals/and multiple family dwellings ( i.e.-
several on C Street, Lauridsen, etc) and we would hope to maintain the remaining single
family residential areas. It will add a lot of traffic to this neighborhood, especially in the
alley. We also feel it will create a safety issue for Steven's Middle School students, many
of whom walk to school.
We ask that you review and take into account the wishes and desires of those
homeowners who are closest to the lot in question and will be the ones who will suffer
the effects of this decision.
