CommissionerSmith seconded, all were in approval ACTION ITEMS 1.Action: Building Residential Capacity Code Update Public Hearing Chair Schwab invited Director Brekke to introduce the item and the Consultants from MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design. Director Brekke introduced Consultants Bengford and Bonjukian. The consultants then presented an overview of the proposed code changes to build residential capacity. Chair Schwab opened the public hearing. Annie O'Rourke:Concernedabout the speed this document/code revisions is being considered. It’s really important to understand the details of the code and the implications of the details. She applaudedreduction of parking and increase of density butfeelsdoubling is too much. There is a lack of attention to historic buildingsin the proposed changes. Erik Marks: Submitted a written comment. Agreed withAnnie's comments about an extensive amount of code change. He is deeplyconcernedwith 17.22 as substantially different that is proposedand feels design criteria is not needed. Port Angeles is a transitional economic 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 1 Planning Commission Minutes October 13, 2021 Page 2 development community and the real problem is that no buildings are being built and adding design criteria will further affect the ability to build new construction. He encouraged the Planning Commission to study Sequim's example of design standards. Erika Holzhauer - Concerned about the speed of the revisions. There needs to be a better defining of the problem the City is trying to solve. Key to successful zoning in a holistic approach. The code changes should consider all stakeholders. John Ralston - Solid "A" for code work. Recommends a relook at code every two years. He wants the code to permit 25-foot frontage for lots in all residential zones. Taller buildings should be allowed on both sides of Lincoln Street. Code changes do not mean an automatic building boom. Duplexes should be considered as conditional in commercial zoning due to construction codes and financing reasons. Encouraged Planning Commission to adopt the code. Seth Rodman - Concerned that design standards will make Port Angeles look the way that Port Angeles has never looked. He is also concerned about parking buffers and stated that he will submit written public comment at a later time. Michael Peters Agreed with Erik Marks' letter. The tribe objects to the design standards proposed in 17.22 and agree that it is too much for Port Angeles. It will have a direct effect on the tribe's project. Tom Curry - Agreed with Erik Marks's letter of October 12th and Annie O'Rourke's comments and will make public comment in the future. Tony Billera – Commended staff for this forward-looking vision that has been presented here. From his point of view the draft is an excellent plan. Electric vehicles are coming quicker that people would like to think - spoke to specific vaults to be required with multi-household Christian Hampp - Would like the City to relax zoning requirements, specifically talking about permitted residential uses in CA zoning. Chair Schwab closed the public hearing and described the next steps. He moved the Façade Grant Item ahead of the Climate Action Plan Discussion 2. Action: Façade Grant 21-01 Planner Braudrick presented the Application for Façade Grant 21-01 located at 214 North Eunice Street. Applicant Christian Hampp provided further details on the proposal and other phases of updates to the apartment building that he is planning. Commissioner Stanley commented that this proposal is a fantastic project and exactly the type of housing the community needs and is a great use of this grant program funding. Commissioner Young made a motion to approve the funding for Façade Improvement Grant 21- 01, citing seven findings, three conclusions, and six conditions. Commission Stanley seconded the motion, all were in approval. 3. Discussion: Climate Action Plan Green House Gas Inventory Planner Braudrick presented the findings of the completed Climate Action Plan Greenhouse Gas Inventory. He invited Commission Stanley to provide further information, as he worked with the Climate Action Planning Group to request information from some local businesses and organizations. He stated that he was surprised by the results, mostly because of the electric utility. He asked if woodfire stoves were a part of the fugitive emissions. Planner Braudrick stated that he believed it did, but that he would confirm that with Cascadia Consulting. 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 2 Planning Commission Minutes October 13, 2021 Page 3 STAFF UPDATES Manager Bolin let the Commission know that staff was working on providing a special meeting for the Climate Action Plan Workshop. November meetings are running up against Veteran’s Day th and Thanksgiving. The special meeting will likely take place on November 17. She thanked Commissioner Switzer on his work with the Planning Commission and notified the Commission that this was his last meeting. Director Brekke commended the Commissioners on their patience during the long meeting. She let the Commission know that staff would continue to engage the public on the Draft Code Updates th presented at the meeting. Public comment on the draft code is open until October 29 . Planner Braudrick let the Commission know that the Peninsula Section of the American Planning st Association would be holding an educational forum on October 21. REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS Chair Schwab reminded the Commission that they had been involved in the Building Residential Capacity Code update since April with the first workshop and interactive survey. He asked staff how long MAKERS had been involved. Director Brekke responded that they had been involved since 2020. They held stakeholder interviews last winter and worked up to the Public Workshop in June. Commissioner Young asked about the timeline for the code update now that the public hearing had been closed. Director Brekke responded that the staff would provide a Staff report with the entire record to Commission at their next meeting where they would enter final deliberation of the draft code and a recommendation to City Council. City Council will hold a public meeting on the th draft code on December 7. There is not a public hearing scheduled with City Council for the code update. Commissioner Young requested that the Planning Commission hold one more workshop prior to deliberation. He stated that he was sympathetic to Staff’s timeline and limitation, but that public comment on the design standards presented in the draft code led him to believe that further review and possible revisions may need to be made. Director Brekke informed the Commission on the implications of extending the process. The Department of Commerce Grant for the code update has already been extended, and further delay could jeopardize the funding award. It could also jeopardize other grant funding opportunities that the City had either been awarded or has recently applied for. Commissioner Young responded that he didn’t know how the rest of the Commission felt, but that he was open to having more meetings on the code update. The Commission discussed potential dates for future meetings to hold extra workshops on the code update. Commissioner Smith asked when the Commissioners would get copies of the written public comment. Manager Bolin explained that the entire record, including public comment would be provided with the Staff Report for the Commission’s deliberation. Chair Schwab asked if there were issues with extending the comment period. Manager Bolin responded that the comment period was 30 days in length and in order to extend the comment period,a new noticed comment period would have to be made. Commissioner Young asked for a vote to hold more public meetings for the code update prior to holding deliberations and providing a recommendation to City Council. Chair Schwab asked that th the extra meeting be held after the October 29 comment period has ended. Director Brekke agreed. She would look at the calendar and provide an option for Planning Commission at a later date. She was concerned about the number of projects that were occurring and the confusion that might occur for the public. Commissioner Stanley asked whether there was an issue making a recommendation after the end of the public comment period. Director Brekke responded that Staff was recommending that Planning Commission let the public comment period end prior to making a recommendation in order to receive all public comment on the matter. He agreed that the public 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 3 Planning Commission Minutes October 13, 2021 Page 4 comment made at the public hearing gave him pause on some of the design standards. He didn’t want to rush the decision. Director Brekke supported the extension, but requested that Commissioners come to the next meeting prepared with very specific ideas about revisions to the code update. Commissioner Stanley updated the Commission on the Lincoln School and asked if the Director of the North Olympic History Center could present at a future meeting. He stated that although the Lincoln Street project was an improvement, that the public was not given the opportunity to comment on the design. Commissioner Smith commented on the existence of the Hearing Examiner being problematic to the public process and role of the Planning Commission. Commissioner Switzer thanked the Commission for helping him prepare for planning work in Mendocino County. Chair Schwab asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Young moved to adjourn. Commissioner Switzer seconded the motion, and all were in approval.

At the recommendation of City staff, the stakeholders included property owners, business owners, non-profit group representatives, public officials, and other community leaders. This range of people provided a variety of perspectives on the form-based code, infill housing, and subdivision standards that will be addressed in this project. This document is a summary of their comments, observations, and code update priorities. What elements or issues are most important about this project to you? Avoid implementing design standards that are too detailed or which require an architectural style. Limit the risk of increased construction costs. Design standards should be easy to administer by city staff and easy to use by builders and property owners. Consider the ramifications of zoning on related issues like public works and utilities. Overall, the code needs more consistency and less surprises. Administrators also need more flexibility to be creative and accommodate unique situations and good proposals from property owners. Downtown needs more residents to be more successful and resilient. What do you think is the most challenging or urgent housing issue in Port Angeles? Housing affordability is an increasing challenge, driven by the low amount of new housing construction in recent times. This seems to be caused by multiple factors including increasing lumber prices, the state energy code, fire sprinkler requirements for multifamily construction, high utility prices, and restrictive stormwater regulations. Multiple stakeholders identified the problematic, and which have effectively blocked proposed residential and commercial projects. Major local employers are having trouble hiring workers to move to town because of housing prices. The Peninsula Housing Authority has hundreds of people on its waitlist. Single-family housing is highly sought after but expensive to build and maintain. Duplexes seem to be popular and are being built. There is also a significant need for multifamily housing (apartments or condominiums) to meet workforce housing demand. MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 1 Port Angeles Stakeholder Interview Summary_21-0511 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 33 - hub. Further, office owners are competing with remote work capabilities and retailers are competing with online shopping more and more. Downtown is mostly built out and should be on better use of upper building floors (such as converting to residential use), restoring activities to vacant buildings, and improving public safety. The original townsite of Port Angeles has alleys, which is an opportunity to increase development capacity there while balancing functional needs (parking and utility services can be accessed from the rear of lots instead of only the street front). The Highway 101 corridor on the east side of town (Front Street and 1st Street) does not have much character or consistency in appearance. First Street seems to need more help than Front Street. There are many small parking lots in the corridor that could potentially be redeveloped for commercial uses. The Highway 101 corridor south of Downtown (Lincoln Street) has several opportunities for multifamily and mixed-use development, particularly on vacant land. The west side of town and C Street in particular, which is zoned Commercial Neighborhood (CN), lack businesses and services like a grocery store. Are there good or bad examples of residential or commercial construction from the past few years? Locally cited examples include the Olympic Lodge hotel, the Field Hall and Event Center, the Boys & Girls Club remodel, and the Downtown transit center and esplanade. The Peninsula Housing Authority's large in-town development increased density 2.5 times compared to the previous buildings, and today it seems to work well. Outside examples include mixed-use developments in Gig Harbor (nautical theme) and Whistler, B.C. (mountain lodge theme). If you work with the code, what works well and what needs improvements? Several major properties have split zoning, and the code does not adequately address how to handle that situation. This creates headaches and uncertainty for all parties. The code is missing other minor clarifications or has related sections not grouped together. For example, sight distance triangle standards (for safety at parking lot entrances) are not referenced by the parking or sign standards. With density/dimensional standards, one stakeholder said 50% lot coverage limits are too low for residential development, and another said townhouses need to be allowed to have smaller lot sizes and widths. Several stakeholders suggested some residential areas (particularly the R7 zone) could have 25-feet wide lots and minimum 3,500 square feet lot area, which would lower the land costs for homeownership and increase infill housing options. The permitted residential land uses are somewhat limiting compared to market interest, such as not allowing buildings larger than fourplexes in some zones. MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 2 Port Angeles Stakeholder Interview Summary_21-0511 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 34 The parking requirements have been barriers to several low-income housing projects and for adaptative reuse of existing buildings. More parking also means higher stormwater mitigation costs. Greater flexibility for parking should be investigated, including shared parking or reducing the basic minimum requirements. Accessory dwelling units (ADU) have strong interest across the community for housing family members and generating income, but the standards for separate utility connections and an extra on-site parking space make them difficult to build. More flexibility is needed. Some stakeholders were also interested in tiny homes. The subdivision standards are currently working well, and stakeholders were open to increasing short plats from four lots to nine lots. Other notes and ideas. Port Angeles does not have much in- or out-migration residents tend to live in town for a long time. The zoning should accommodate the people who already live in the community rather than attracting people to move to the community. Transitions between older and newer residential development may be important to some community members. Downtown had a successful façade improvement/painting program some time ago that should be revived. Citywide property maintenance standards are either lax or are not enforced. However, avoid specific maintenance agreements around color, landscaping, or other things that tie the hands of property owners. Permitting could be better organized and easier for applicants to complete (for example, working with a single department). Decision-makers also need to be more clearly defined. The City requires building demolition debris to be taken to the in-city transfer station, which is twice as expensive as the next closest option. Utility fees do not distinguish between unit sizes; a 1-bedroom is charged the same rate as a 4-bedroom. The city also charges the same fees to review repeating building floor plans. Homelessness is an issue in Port Angeles, particularly Downtown, and adequate shelter and services are needed to help people move off the streets.

The work done Planning and their team scores a solid "A" with this 270 page long overdue document. I would suggest a more frequent review than every 50 years, maybe every 2-3 years. Think Comp plan or "Sunset" review. 2. 25' R7 lots should be available to all R7 lots and not limited to the proposed areas. 3. 25' lots should be permitted in all commercial zones as well to include MD and HD residential zones. 4. Taller buildings should be allowed on both sides of Lincoln and not just the west side. 5. CODE changes do not necessarily mean an immediate building boom. 6. Planning Dept will see where there will need to be changes/amendments/alterations and bring those discussions to the appropriate City departments 7. Visuals in code are very helpful and good 8. City has asked for advertised and asked for input and I believe City staff, again, has done a great job. 9. Duplexes should be Permitted in all commercial zones and if not permitted at least Conditional. Duplexes fall under the more simplified residential building code as opposed to the more cumbersome commercial building code. Financing for Duplexes is also less expensive, with better terms and conditions. (happy to further elaborate) Generally, I would propose adopting the proposed CODE update with the items I have mentioned above. Thank you John Ralston 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 41 PZ 21-55 - Public Comment From:Judith Broadhurst To:Community and Economic Development Subject:Code changes input from local homeowner Date:Thursday, October 21, 2021 8:35:57 PM PAGE 50: "An ARU is distinguishable from a duplex..." Should be RDU to be consistent with other changes? Adult family home. A one \[family\] household dwelling of Neither "adult family home" nor "one household" home make any sense to me. It's "family" and "household" that make it confusing. If your intention is to change "Adult family home" makes me cringe. If your intention is to change it to "Adult household," it needs to be change elsewhere, because "Adult family home" is used again (17.10.02, item A, for instance). Saying "Adult home" then defined as "one household" (not "a one household") makes more sense to me and doesn't imply "family" among strangers, witih all implications and effects of that patronizing, social work lingo. -=-=-=- ANIMALS Animal husbandry, non-commercial My neighbor was breeding and selling Akitas, which became "an issue" for all nearby -- the noise, the front yard sales events, and most of all the cruelty of breeding the adult female over and over and over. This part not only doesn't flow coherently with the mention of horse stables and kennels but doesn't even cover what she was doing. The dogs all were or were intended to be pets. And Akitas aren't exactly Yorkies. -=-=-=- PARKING Is this about street parking in addition to any driveway space? What the heck is .5 or 1.75 parking spaces? Why should a couple living in a "small lot single family household dwelling" not be entitled to 2 spaces just as "single-household dwellings" are? If you can afford a bigger house, you deserve more parking space, even though that's not at all essential? That's elitism and offensive. If there are 2 adults living in a house, these days, that usually means to people working who usually need 2 cars. What about the RVs that are everywhere? Usually behind the houses, so that's OK? And what about those who park RVs on the street for weeks or who rent space in their backyards to people living in RVs. It's rather common and shouldn't be. This section NEEDS WORK, rethinking, more awareness. COTTAGE HOUSING I'm very glad to see the Cottage Housing element, but the ones that I'm familiar with in CA and OR and in the Southwest are condo-style developments. I didn't read every word to find out how the 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 42 All Comments as of Oct. 22, 2021 Pg. 8 PZ 21-55 - Public Comment "common area" works, but 400 sf for that is laughable. It's a courtyard. The idea of these, from my perspective as an older person, is to foster a sense of community, not just pack people in small spaces for max use of the land. They need indoor gathering spaces with small kitchens to use for potlucks or parties and such. They need meeting spaces, board game spaces, places to watch streaming movies or other presentations and maybe hold discussions afterward. Also, my 2 BR house is 832 sf. It is worth $2000 less than a very similar house a block away that is 1100 sf. But my floor plan has much more usable space than their house does. So that is key, yet people will want to choose from at least 3 options, probably. I used to be the weekend manager for a luxury apt complex with an ocean view in Santa Cruz, CA. From what they taught me, 600 sf is standard for 1 BR. Most cottages are 2 BRs, but they do NOT need to be 1200 sf. You're thinking of the developers' priorities, not the dwellers', and you seem to be forgetting that the developers are selling multiples so the cost per sf is not apples-to-apples as for not crammed-together single-family houses. I'm very much in favor of these, and they're ideal for older people who want to downsize. DOWNSIZE. When we're older and there's one or two of us, we want less space to clean and fill with Stuff, not more. However, many of us want patios with at least a little space to grow flowers or food AND we want places to walk dogs. -=-=-=- That's as far as I can endure this. I hope some of it is helpful. Kudos to all of you and thank you for your work on this, both council and staff people.

However, the changes proposed for the new Commercial Zones may actually stall commercial development. I will speak specifically to the impacts on The Elwha Hotel project. The Tribe objects to the Adoption of an Ordinance Imposing a Moratorium on the Installation of Surface Style Parking Lots in City Commercial Corridors (September 7, 2021 City Council). The adoption of this Moratorium Ordinance appears to impact only the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe’s project. And, as was stated at the meeting is an attempt to preserve and implement early the intent to restrict parking to structures only downtown. It appears the parking conditions do not allow for addressing unique business needs (e.g., limited spots for loading and unloading, porte-cochere). We object to requiring structured parking only. We recommend that North Laurel be Mixed rather than Storefront. We are extremely concerned with several aspects of the Code Amendments. One of our greatest concerns is the transition from the current Code to the Amended Code. The Tribe just completed our public comment period for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (September 23, 2021). This milestone was negotiated with the City and included conversations with Washington State Department of Ecology. The site plan was accepted by City personnel prior to allowing the application to proceed. The moratorium and amended codes if adopted will result in additional long delays for our project. It is important to remember the Tribe purchased the westerly parcel for two reasons: to complete toxin cleanup and to acquire space for future expansion. The cleanup was completed costing millions. Since the Tribe is not in the position to develop the westerly parcel at this time we may need to remove it from the project. The amended code does not appear to address “short-term” variances or waivers that would allow us the highest and best use of the parcel until expansion is economically feasible. The Tribe welcomes an opportunity to discuss other concerns. However, as presented we object to the adoption of the amendments pertaining to the new commercial zones.

I may not be able to attend the meeting. My name is Sam Grello and I am the General Manager for the Port Angeles Wharf. Prior to working at the Wharf, I have worked in commercial real estate development in New York City, where I have both built and re-developed commercial properties. I was also a residential real estate broker in Bellingham for three years, just as the current boom was ramping up. I worked with first time homebuyers, and experienced their frustration first hand. In my time there, Bellingham changed their code to allow for greater housing density and produced a very helpful packet for homeowners called "The Infill Housing Toolkit." This gave industrious homeowners a roadmap to converting garages and other backyard structures into ADUs or to redevelop lots entirely. More cheap (but livable) rentals popped up as a result. I am writing in support of the comment letter from Erik Marks dated October 12, 2021. I believe that it is a mistake for the City to adopt Chapter 17.22 as it is written at this time. Please separate the residential building capacity code from Chapter 17.22 "Commercial and Multifamily Design Standards." I believe they should be separate. I wholeheartedly endorse increasing housing density. That is an issue that needs to be addressed now. But I don't agree with Chapter 17.22 as it is written. This is my third year in Port Angeles. My wife and I moved here after a nationwide road trip. Besides the beauty and recreation, we moved here for the community. Where else are there so many owner-operators of small businesses? My wife and I didn't see any other place in America quite like here. It's inspiring to see small businesses thriving, and the actual backbone of a community these days. Can Sequim say that with all their corporate shops? My point is that the barrier for entry to business is low in Port Angeles. I worry that some of the provisions in Chapter 17.22 will INCREASE the cost and complexity to do business in Port Angeles and raise the barrier for entry to business ownership. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment about your hard work. Thank you for trying to fix our housing issue.

While your proposals are a great start, as someone that is married to a local contractor and has actively participated in both SFR and Multifamily lending for developers in multiple counties throughout Western WA, including Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, Pierce, and Thurston counties, there is a LOT more that the City can do to make a much more significant impact to promote housing in Port Angeles. Here are just a few of the most critical items that would be extremely helpful. 1. Reduce setbacks and allow for zero lot lines for both SFR and Multifamily developments. Particularly for lots within the core of the City (i.e. along C St. throughout the Cherry Hill Area, and anywhere from Front St up to Lauridsen BLVD). This will allow for higher density options within this core area to allow for home additions, ADU’s, and as our housing stock ages, to allow for older homes to be torn down and replaced with at least 2-4 units. 2. Stop or reduce ridiculous requirements for road widening, sidewalks, etc. in rural, non- thoroughfare roads within the City. It should not be that hard for a builder to simply put two homes on what will be two lots that total at least 14k SF, but by the time the City adds on all their requirements for a builder to widen the road, add sidewalks, etc. there will no longer be enough room to add two homes (especially with the setbacks mentioned in #1). In order for builders to WANT to build homes in your city, you have to be willing to work with them and stop adding on infrastructure requirements that, while are a great improvement for the City (at the cost of the builder), do nothing to improve the safety and soundness in that area, or in many cases even REDUCES the marketability of the project. 3. More work must be done to encourage multifamily housing developers to build here. With costs rising for labor and materials, tax breaks aren’t enough. Our city should be helping to fight the extra requirements for stormwater runoff, give breaks on permits and fees if the owner is adding 5 or more units, Offer credits and/or variances to convert vacant commercial space into multifamily housing. You should be doing whatever it takes to give developers a positive incentive to build more units here as cheaply as possible. In general, I would suggest you look to the larger, more populated counties and cities in our State, see what is working there. While some residents in our area may not want higher density with in the City, it’s absolutely required to ensure that we slow or prevent urban sprawl into the surrounding county. There is room for a lot more homes within the current city/lots, we just need to look at allowing more to be built within a smaller space and give those interested an incentive to build here. Happy to discuss this further if you have any questions. My contact info is below.

The draft was informed by the grant contract that the City has entered into with the Washington State Department of Commerce, recent changes in state law, a public workshop on June 9 and accompanying online surveys that presented code concepts, and close collaboration with staff. Code Amendment Scope T includes the three actions listed below to help accomplish this. For each action, an explanation is included to describe the type of code amendments proposed to implement the action. Action 1. Adopt an infill exemption under RCW 43.21C.229 for residential or mixed-use development (and consider any other relevant SEPA categorical exemptions). Proposed regulations are captured in draft PAMC 15.04.105, with supporting mitigation measures in the applicable zoning regulations (Chapters 17.10-20), the Residential Infill Design Standards (Chapter 17.21), and Commercial and Multifamily Design Standards (Chapter 17.22). Action 2. Increase the maximum number of lots that can be created in the short subdivision process from four to nine lots. Proposed changes are captured in Title 16 and most notably Chapter 16.04, Short Plat Subdivision Regulations. Action 3. Adopt a form-commercial zones that allow housing (CBD, CA, CSD, CO, CN). The proposed code is located in the new Commercial Zones chapter (Chapter 17.20) and the Commercial and Multifamily Design Standards (Chapter 17.22). Draft Organization This document is organized in numerical municipal code order, starting with sections within Title 14. Tracking Proposed Changes This document tracks proposed changes to current code in the following ways: e tracked changes to current code sections with additions and deletions shown as such. es format. existing code section is proposed to be moved and any suggested changes to the text in that section are shown in track changes. Notes in these blue text boxes provide information about a code change or a new code section.

Pg. 56 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 TITLE 14BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION Chapter 14.40 Off-Street Parking SURVEY RESULTS Scoring: 5 = great idea/high priority; 3 = neutral; 1 = very bad idea \[17\] Parking: Adjust parking requirements for key uses, encourage more shared parking arrangements, and allow on-street parking in front of use to be included in parking calculations. June 9 workshop average score: 4.0 Online SurveyMonkey average score: 4.0 MAKERS recommendation: Move forward with concepts. 14.40.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to assure adequate provisions for public access are made in the development of new land use and in the change of use of an existing building. Off-street parking is only one of the provisions that needs to be considered to avoid significant adverse impacts on surrounding private properties and public infrastructure. This parking ordinance encourages transportation demand management to achieve low impact development as an alternative to off-street minimum parking requirements for each commercial, industrial, and public and institutional land use. The City recognizes that each business can have a variety of transportation strategies, facilities, and services instead of satisfying access solely by single occupant vehicles (SOV). Many businesses are unique and, therefore, can best determine the minimum parking requirements needed to serve their own needs. In residential zones, off- street parking is required for each dwelling unit to allow reduction in nonarterial street width standards. This parking ordinance encourages reduction in the impacts of increasing impervious surfaces on the costs for each development and on the environment from stormwater drainage. Reducing pollution from runoff and emissions serve community interests and should be balanced against requirements for more street and parking lot improvements. The City expects new developments to find less costly ways to meet transportation needs and does not want to require unneeded impervious surfaces. 14.40.020 Definitions. A. The following terms shall have the designated meanings for the purposes of this Chapter, unless the context indicates otherwise: 1. Electric vehicle.

For all land uses there shall be established and maintained permanent off-street parking spaces, either on the zoning lot of the use, or, if the affected property owners and the Director of Community and Economic Development agree through the execution of an appropriate agreement and easement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and if appropriate PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 9 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 58 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 identification signage is provided, within 200 feet of the property boundaries (excluding public streets and alleys) of the zoning lot. The required number of parking spaces shall be determined as follows: A. Quantity. The number of required spaces shall be determined either by reference to the number of required parking spaces per Table 14.40-1 or by using one of the alternate methods in subsection (C) of this section. When the number of parking spaces is based on floor area, the calculation shall use net floor area as defined by the adopted building code and as hereafter amended. B. Reduced parking requirements. See parking reduction tools in PAMC 14.40.045 and other modifications in PAMC 14.40.080-110. B. If applicable, sections 14.40.080 through 14.40.110 shall then be used to determine whether the number of spaces required by subsection A of this section is modified. C. Alternative methods. If Table 14.40-1 of subsection A of this section is not used to determine the number of required parking spaces, one of the following alternate methods of determining the required parking for a particular development shall be used: 1. Determine the number of parking spaces required by a transportation demand assessment that received approval by the Director of Community and Economic Development per section 14.40.050; or 2. Prepare a transportation demand management assessment that meets the approval of the Director of Community and Economic Development per section 14.40.050; or 3. Obtain Director of Community and Economic Development approval of a parking variance per section 14.40.130. NOTE: The existing list of modifications/tools here is moved down below to a new, expanded parking modifications section .045. D. If the following criteria are satisfied, then the parking requirements of Table 14.40-1 of subsection A above may be reduced accordingly. 1. Parking requirements may be reduced in direct ratio for each percentage point of access provided by non-single occupant vehicle. 2. Parking requirements may be reduced by ten percent if a bus stop or other mass transit facility is located within 500 feet of the project site. 3. Parking requirements may be reduced in direct ratio for each percentage point of parking provided by cooperative parking agreement per section 14.40.080. 4. Parking requirements may be reduced by 25 percent to allow for incorporation of LID facilities into the parking lot design. E. Parking lot landscaping. The parking area shall comply with landscaping requirements for parking lots in accordance with Title 17 PAMCPAMC 17.22.430. F. Fractions.

A transportation demand management assessment may be necessary (see PAMC 14.40.050). Mixed Uses In the case of a mixture of uses on one lot or in one building, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately Cooperative and Shared Parking Provisions Parking facilities may be cooperatively used by different land uses when the times of the uses are not simultaneous. Parking facilities may be shared when the times are not simultaneous through a parking agreement with the property owners and when the parking is located no further than 500 feet from the property requiring the parking. See PAMC 14.40.070. 14.40.035 Payment of parking and business improvement area assessments for compliance of parking requirements. The owner of any property or business that is located within 1,000 feet of the boundary of a City approved parking and business improvement area (PBIA), established by Chapter 3.72 PAMC, may satisfy the parking requirements imposed by this chapter by entering into an agreement that satisfies the conditions of this section and it approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development. The agreement shall require the owner of any property or business to make payments to the City in the amount calculated and on the terms provided in Chapter 3.72 PAMC. Such payments shall be deposited into the PBIA fund and shall be used as provided in Chapter 3.72 PAMC. The Director of Community and Economic Development is hereby authorized to prepare and approve agreements to implement the terms of this section. 14.40.040 Parking space requirements for uses in a City approved parking and business improvement area. For any land uses located in a City approved Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA), there shall be established and maintained permanent off-street parking spaces, either on the zoning lot of the use or within 1,200 feet of the property boundaries (including public streets and alleys) of the zoning lot. The City encourages the formation of PBIAs throughout the City. A buffer of 1,200 feet shall be required between all PBIAs to prevent overlapping authorities and to allow PBIA parking lots outside a PBIA's boundaries similar to an individual land use.

If the following criteria are satisfied, then the parking requirements of Table 14.40-1 may be reduced accordingly. A. Non-single occupant vehicles. Parking requirements may be reduced in direct ratio for each percentage point of access provided by non-single occupant vehicle. B. Transit. Parking requirements may be reduced by ten percent if a bus stop or other mass transit facility is located within 500 feet of the project site. C. Cooperative parking. Parking requirements may be reduced in direct ratio for each percentage point of parking provided by cooperative parking agreement per section 14.40.080. D. LID facilities. Parking requirements may be reduced by 25 percent to allow for incorporation of LID facilities into the parking lot design. NOTE: The below on-street parking option currently exists only for residential uses. This section expands it to all uses in residential and commercial zones to leverage the surplus of on-street parking in Port Angeles. This tool will be most beneficial for small developments that have challenges in fitting all required parking on small sites. E. On-street parking. 1. Applicability. This option is available for all uses in residential and commercial zones. 2. Credit. Every 22 linear feet of unrestricted on-street parking directly adjacent to the subject property and on a street that meets current street design standards can be counted toward the total required parking. 3. Accessible spaces. On-street parking may not be used to meet minimum requirements for accessible parking under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and the adopted building code. NOTE: Structured parking is beneficial where it can reduce the amount of land consumed by parking and the impervious surfaces created by parking, but it is also expensive to construct. This section provides a bonus for structured parking to reduce construction costs. F. Structured parking bonus. 1. Applicability. This option is available for multifamily development and non-residential development in residential and commercial zones. 2. Amount. Every parking space in an underground or multistory above-ground parking garage may count as up to 1.5 spaces for the purposes of calculating the minimum parking spaces required by this chapter. The Director may require a transportation demand management assessment to determine the amount of the bonus (see PAMC 14.40.050). PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 14 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 63 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 14.40.046 Electric vehicle parking space requirements. \[NEW\] NOTE: These draft EV parking standards are borrowed from similar standards in other communities, and also based on a new ordinance from King County (click for link) for their unincorporated areas. The ordinance was based on extensive research into EV technology, market adoption, and comparison with zoning codes from other cities and counties. MAKERS suggests adjustments for Port Angeles to ease in the requirements more gradually, exempt small developments, and simplify the terms and standards. A, This section applies to all off-street parking facilities in residential and commercial zones, except for RTP. Refer to locally adopted building and electrical codes for detailed construction requirements. B. All charging equipment and services required by this section shall support a minimum of Level 2 charging standards as provided by the Society of Automotive Engineers (40 amps and 240 volts residential or 208 volts commercial). C. EV parking spaces shall be provided at the minimum rates shown in ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING REQUIREMENT TABLE "14.40-2". Note that these minimums may exceed those required by WAC 51-50-0427. 1. An EV parking space is one that has electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) of any level of sophistication installed at the time of certificate of occupancy. Networked EVSE has an internet connection and may have a customer interface for payment, limited hours of operation, and other functions. 2. An EV-capable parking space is one that can support EVSE in the future and is supported with electrical panel capacity and space to support minimum charging standards, a dedicated branch circuit for the parking space, internet-connection capacity and space (if required), and the installation of raceways (underground of surface-mounted). The EV-capable space requirement applies to both new development and to existing buildings when electrical panels are being upgraded in applicable multifamily and nonresidential buildings. Prior to EVSE installation, non-electric vehicles may park in EV- capable spaces. 3. Percentage-based rates apply to the total number of vehicle parking spaces actually planned or built (not the minimum number of spaces required elsewhere in this chapter). The rates also apply to new parking spaces that are created when an existing parking area (as of the adoption date of this section) is expanded by 50 percent or more. 4. Mixed-use developments shall meet the applicable residential and non-residential EV parking space requirements consistent with the proportion of each use.

Signs for EV parking spaces shall be consistent with RCW 46.08.185. EVSE shall not include any electronic changeable copy sign (see other sign standards in Chapter 14.36 PAMC). 6. Consistent with WAC 51-50-0427, a minimum of one accessible parking space in Group B, Group R-1 hotel and motel only, and Group R-2 occupancies shall be an EV parking space. This accessible space may not be double counted for the non-EV accessible parking spaces required by the locally adopted building code. 14.40.050 Transportation demand management assessment. A. As part of any land use review and/or building permit application with the City of Port Angeles, a transportation demand management assessment, which analyzes the off-street parking needs of the new development or the expansion of use in the existing building, may be conducted and shall require the approval of the Director of Community and Economic Development, if parking for the use and/or building is not provided per section 14.40.030.. B. Business and property owners within 300 feet of the subject site shall be notified of the transportation demand management assessment. A public comment period of 15 days shall be provided. Some additional details are recommended to ensure the assessment is rigorous and credible. B. The assessment is a document that provides sufficient information to determine the parking requirements for a specific use. The estimate may be based on scientifically documented data for demand for the proposed use, census data, transit service, walking and biking distance between existing residential and commercial areas. academic studies, similar uses in the city or comparable cities, or other sources accepted by the Director. As required by this chapter, the assessment may be required for adjusting minimum quantitative requirements, determining times of peak parking demand, and determining PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 16 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 65 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 impacts to on-street parking in the vicinity of the subject development site. All transportation demand management assessments shall be prepared by either a professional engineer with expertise in traffic and parking analyses or an equally qualified individual authorized by the Director. 14.40.060 Mixed uses. In the case of a mixture of uses on one zoning lot or in one building, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately. Off-street parking facilities for one use shall not be considered as providing required parking facilities of any other use, except as may be provided in section 14.40.070 of this chapter. 14.40.070 Cooperative parking agreements. NOTE: Updates to this section provide some more clarifications of how cooperative parking agreements can be best used. A. Parking facilities may be cooperatively used by different land uses, when the times of the peak use of such parking spaces by each use are not simultaneous. For example, a movie theater whose peak use time is 7:00pm shares a parking lot with an office building whose peak use time is 3:00pm. The peak use time may be provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers or determined by a transportation demand management assessment per PAMC 14.40.050. B. Cooperative parking associated with multi-tenant retail and commercial facilities will be considered to be a cooperative parking facility. Lease agreements will satisfy the requirement for a sufficient legal document. C. A cooperative parking agreement signed by all parties who share the parking facilities and approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development shall be required that binds the parking facilities and the parties until the agreement is dissolved by all parties and approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development. D. If any requirements for cooperative parking are violated, the affected property owners must provide a remedy satisfactory to the Director or provide the full amount of required off- street parking for each use, in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, unless a satisfactory alternative remedy is approved by the Director. 14.40.080 Parking space requirement modificationNew uses in new structures. For any new use in a new building or structure, the required number of parking spaces shall be determined by the requirements of sections 14.40.030 through 14.40.070. 14.40.090 Parking space requirement modificationNew uses in existing structures. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 17 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 66 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 A change of use in a building or structure that exists as of April 25, 2004, that does not change the building code occupancy classification of the existing building or structure may occur without provision of additional off-street parking spaces unless the floor area of the building or structure is increased. 14.40.100 Parking space requirement modificationExpansion of existing uses in existing structures. For an expansion in the use of an existing building or structure which enlarges the floor area, additional parking spaces need not be established, if the following requirements are met: A. The use and structure or building, prior to its enlargement or increase in floor area, is in conformance with the parking space requirements of this chapter; B. No previous modifications of parking space requirements authorized by this section have been utilized; C. The number of parking spaces required by the floor area of the addition, together with those required by the floor area of the existing building, will not exceed 115 percent of the spaces required for the expansion of the use or building. If the number of spaces required exceeds 115 percent, the required spaces in excess of 115 percent shall be established and maintained. 14.40.110 Parking space modification requirementsExisting uses in existing structures. Existing uses occupying existing structures or buildings as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter may continue until there is an expansion of use. 14.40.120 Improvement of parking spaces. A. Any parking spaces provided to comply with the terms of this chapter, other than for single- family detached residences, shall be improved in accordance with the following requirements: 1. They shall meet the requirements of the clearing, grading, filling and drainage regulations set forth in Chapter 15.28 PAMC. 2. They shall be graded and paved with a hard-surface pavement of permeable pavement with a structurally adequate base, Portland cement concrete, asphaltic concrete with a structurally adequate base, or other hard-surface pavement acceptable to the Director of Public Works and Utilities. Pervious concrete shall be the preferred surface, if feasible. All parking spaces shall be clearly and permanently striped in conformance with Public Works parking lot design standards. Wheel stops shall be installed where necessary to prevent encroachment upon public rights-of-way and adjacent trees, landscaped areas, or low impact development facilities. The Director of Public Works and Utilities may allow for an exception to hard-surface pavement for developments in the Industrial Heavy Zone, provided that adverse impacts to stormwater drainage, surrounding properties, and public infrastructure are mitigated to the extent the Director deems reasonably necessary and appropriate. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 18 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 67 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 3. They shall be accessible, at all times, from street, alley or driveway intended to serve such off-street parking. 4. Improvements of parking spaces shall meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards. B. The City may grant permission for temporary occupancy of a building or structure even though the parking spaces required by subsection A. of this section have not been fully completed, provided that an improvement bond acceptable as to form and amount by the City Engineer and the City Attorney is posted in the amount of the estimated value of the construction of the parking facilities. Before granting such temporary occupancy, the Director of Public Works and Utilities must determine that construction of the parking facilities prior to occupancy of the building would not represent sound construction practice, due to weather conditions, availability of materials and/or difficult site conditions, and the acceptance of such bond is therefore appropriate. Improvement bonds may be accepted for a period not to exceed 12 months. During the period before final completion of the improvements, the parking facilities provided shall at least be graded and graveled and be maintained in a good condition. C. Uses requiring six or fewer spaces may occupy a building or zoning lot for up to 12 months before compliance with subsection A.2 of this section, provided the parking facilities shall at least be graded and graveled and be maintained in a good condition. At the end of the 12- month period, the parking facilities must be in compliance with subsection A.2 of this section, or a bond must have been provided and accepted in accordance with subsection B of this section. 14.40.130 Parking space requirementsVariances. A. A variance from the parking space requirements of this chapter, as specifically provided by sections 14.40.030 through 14.40.070, may be granted on written request to the Director of Community and Economic Development. The Director may impose such conditions upon the variance as it deems necessary to comply with the purpose of this chapter and to mitigate the effects of increased impervious surfaces. No variance shall be granted by the Director unless the Director finds that: 1. The variance is not detrimental to surrounding properties; 2. The parking provided is sufficient to meet the parking needed by the uses(s); 3. The variance will not create increased congestion or traffic hazards along adjacent streets and alleys; and 4. The variance is consistent with the intent of this chapter, the zone in which the site is located, and the comprehensive plan. B. The determination of the Director may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner per section 2.18.065. 14.40.140 Building permits. Before the granting of a building or occupancy permit for any new building or structure, or for any enlargement or change of use in any existing building or structure, where the proposed use PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 19 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 68 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 is subject to the requirements of this chapter, the applicant for such building permit shall comply with the requirements of this chapter. Compliance shall consist of either of the following: A. Proof of the existence of the off-street parking spaces required by this chapter, including a site plan showing such off-street parking, which has been submitted to and approved by the Community Development Director and City Engineer. The site plan shall be prepared at a reasonable scale, showing property lines, dimensions of the property, size and arrangement of all parking spaces, the means of ingress and egress to such parking spaces and interior circulation within the parking area, the extent of any change required in existing site conditions to provide required parking, and such other information as may be necessary to permit review and approval of the proposed parking; or B. Proof that the applicant is subject to assessment in a City approved parking and business improvement area (PBIA) that provides off-street parking spaces within the PBIA. 14.40.150 Use of parking spaces. Subsequent to the issuance of a building permit, the number and location of parking spaces used to satisfy the requirements of this chapter shall not be changed, nor shall the use of the building or structure for which the permit is issued be changed, without compliance with the requirements of this chapter. Parking spaces used by a land use to satisfy the requirements of the chapter shall only be used for the parking of vehicles of customers and other users of the building and the land use authorized by the building permit, except for parking provided under sections 14.40.040 and 14.40.070. 14.40.160 Parking lot activity standards. All parking lot activities shall comply with the following standards: A. No such activity shall occur in parking spaces directly in front of entrances or windows of a building. B. Such activities shall not occupy more than ten percent of the total number of spaces in the parking lot. C. Such activities shall not block entrances and exits to the parking lot or fire exit doors of any buildings. D. Such activities shall not occur in parking lots containing fewer than 20 spaces. E. All such activities shall comply with all other applicable City ordinances and State statutes. F. Each parking lot activity shall only be for a period not to exceed 30 consecutive days for private businesses and 60 consecutive days for private non-profit and charitable organizations within a one calendar year period. G. The location and activity shall not endanger the public health, morals, safety and welfare. 14.40.170 Revocation of permitAppeals. A.

I. The subdivider shall provide all other public improvements as may be required and set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, the Urban Services Ordinance, and the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines promulgated consistent with and pursuant to PAMC 18.08.040 and 18.08.130. J. When commercially zoned property is being short platted without any increase in the number of lots, the minimum improvements required by this section may be made or installed after short plat approval without the necessity of being bonded, provided that the final short plat shall be conditioned to provide that such improvements shall be made or installed as part of the building permit process, that vertical construction of the building shall not begin unless or until the International* Fire Code's fire hydrant requirement has been met, and that the property or development shall not be occupied until such improvements have been completed, provided further that said construction shall be noted on the final plat.

D. An environmental determination shall be rendered by the SEPA Responsible Official prior to final action on the preliminary ULS application. 16.09.040 Standards and criteria. Prior to approval of a ULS, the following standards and criteria shall be met: A. Compliance with prior approvals. Sites developed or proposed to be developed with duplexes, cottages and townhouses per the standards in Chapter 17.21 PAMC may be subdivided into individual unit lots as provided herein. The development as a whole must conform to the regulations applicable to the site and zone and to applicable plans that were granted approval through provisions of this code. B. Development on individual unit lots is not required to conform with all development standards that typically apply to individual lots as long as the parent lot conforms to all such development standards.

PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 43 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 92 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 TITLE 17 ZONING CHAPTER 17.01 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 17.01.020 Purposes of zones. The zones in this Zoning Code are established for the following purposes: Note: Purpose statements for the CBD, CA, CSD, CA, and CO commercial zones are located in Chapter 17.20 PAMC. A. RS-7 Zone. This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single-family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single-family homes on standard townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with and functionally related to a single-family residential environment may also be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for the City's single-family residential neighborhoods, following a standard rectangular street grid system of 60-foot rights-of-way for local access streets and 300-foot by 450 or 500-foot blocks with 50-foot by 140-foot lots and usually located in areas that are largely developed and closer to the center of the City. B. RS-9 Zone. This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single-family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single-family homes on larger than standard townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single-family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single-family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non-through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. C. RS-11 Zone. This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve suburban sized single-family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single-family homes on larger than standard sized townsite-sized lots, while maintaining densities at or more than four dwelling units per acre. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single-family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's single-family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of non-through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 44 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 93 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 D. RTP Zone. This is a medium density residential zone intended for mobile home occupancies, and the area is regarded as essentially residential in character. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for the City's small lot, single-family, mobile home parks, following an irregular urban land use pattern of private access roads and minimum 3,500 square foot lots. E. RMD Zone. This is a medium density residential zone, which allows a mix of single-family, duplexes and apartments at a density greater than single-family neighborhoods but less than the RHD Zone. The permitted uses in the RMD Zone are also intended to be more restrictive than the RHD Zone. Commercial uses are not considered to be compatible. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. This zone provides for variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's lower density multi-family residential neighborhoods (at twice the density of the City's basic single-family residential neighborhoods) with direct access on an arterial street, and serving as a transitional use between low density residential uses and commercial/industrial uses. F. RHD Zone. This is a high density residential zone for multi-family structures. Compatible uses may be allowed on conditional use permits, but the zone is still regarded as a residential area, where commercial enterprises are not generally felt to be compatible. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for the City's higher density multi-family residential neighborhoods (at seven times the density of the City's basic single-family residential neighborhoods), following a standard rectangular street grid system of 60-foot rights-of-way for local access streets and 300-foot by 450 or 500-foot blocks and usually located in areas that are largely developed and closer to the center of the City. G. PRD Overlay Zone. This overlay zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consonant with the public health, safety, and welfare. It is also intended that a Planned Residential Development 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 more open space and transitional housing 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. This overlay zone provides for the opportunity to create self-contained PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 45 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 94 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 residential neighborhoods with a variety of housing choices without following a standard system of public streets and lot design and with allowances for mixed use, residential and commercial developments not usually permitted in residential zones. NOTE: The purpose statements deleted below are duplicative of the current individual statements in the commercial zone chapters (now consolidated in new Chapter 17.20 PAMC). Because we are making revisions to the purpose statements in Chapter 17.20, it is recommended to delete the purpose statements here to avoid conflicts. In the next phase of code updates, we recommend similarly striking all of section 17.01.020 because it is largely duplicative and inconsistent with other zoning chapters. H. CO Zone. This is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative, or professional uses which do not involve the retail sale of goods, but rather provide a service to clients, the provision of which does not create high traffic volumes, involve extended hours of operation, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to single-family residential uses are allowed. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for small lot, transitional uses between residential neighborhoods and commercial districts with direct access on an arterial street and design standards compatible with residential development. (Ord. 3180 § 1 (part), 12/17/2004; Ord. 3123 § 1 (part), 10/11/2002; Ord. 2861 § 1 (part), 3/17/1995; Ord. 2715 § 1, 10/16/1992; Ord. 2668 § 1 (part), 1/17/1992; Ord. 2109 § 2, 12/7/1980) I. CN Zone. This is a commercial zone intended to create and preserve areas for businesses which are of the type providing the goods and services for the day-to-day needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Businesses in this zone shall occur on sites no larger than one acre and shall be located and designed to encourage both pedestrian and vehicular access and to be compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to multi-family residential uses are allowed; gasoline service islands are conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for small commercial districts serving individual residential neighborhoods with direct access on an arterial street and design standards compatible with residential development. (Ord. 3180 § 1 (part), 12/17/2004; Ord. 3123 § 1 (part), 10/11/2002; Ord. 2861 § 1 (part), 3/17/1995; Ord. 2715 § 1, 10/16/1992; Ord. 2668 § 1 (part), 1/17/1992; Ord. 2553 1, 12/2/1989) J. CSD Zone. This is a commercial zone that is slightly less restrictive than the CN zone. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for large lot, commercial uses serving much of the City with direct access on an arterial street. Businesses in this zone may occur on sites of varying sizes and shall be located on arterial streets of sufficient size and design standards to accommodate greater automobile and truck traffic. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed.

CA Zone. This is a commercial zone intended to create and preserve areas for business serving the entire City and needing an arterial location because of the nature of the business or intensity of traffic generated by the business. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Service stations with petroleum products and dry cleaning shops with hazardous materials are permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for automobile oriented, commercial uses with direct access on a principal arterial street and design standards for greater automobile and truck traffic. (Ord. 3180 § 1 (part), 12/17/2004; Ord. 3123 § 1 (part), 10/11/2002; Ord. 2861 § 1 (part), 3/17/1995; Ord. 2715 § 1, 10/16/1992; Ord. 2668 § 1 (part), 1/17/1992; Ord. 2293 § 1 (part), 4/4/1984) L. CBD Zone. This is a commercial zone intended to strengthen and preserve the area commonly known as the downtown for major retail, service, financial, and other commercial operations that serve the entire community, the regional market, and tourists. It is further the purpose of this zone to establish standards to improve pedestrian access and amenities and to increase public enjoyment of the shoreline. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Gasoline service islands and marine fueling stations are conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for high density, pedestrian oriented, commercial uses located in the center of the City with direct access to mass transit services, design standards for compatible commercial development, and support for public parking and business improvements. (Ord. 3180 § 1 (part), 12/17/2004; Ord. 3123 § 1 (part), 10/11/2002; Ord. 2861 § 1 (part), 3/17/1995; Ord. 2715 § 1, 10/16/1992; Ord. 2668 § 1 (part), 1/17/1992; Ord. 2303 § 1 (part), 7/4/1984; Ord. 1709 § 1 (part), 12/22/1970) H. CR Zone. This is a commercial zone intended to create and preserve areas for large land intensive commercial uses that provide retail services to a regional market. These types of commercial uses provide a multiplicity of goods and services in a single location and therefore require large areas for the building and parking. Such uses do not follow the basic land use pattern of the of the traditional townsite and are not typically pedestrian oriented. This zone offers vehicular access from major transportation corridors. I. IM Zone. This is an industrial zone intended to preserve industrial areas in the harbor for marine industrial uses, which are characterized as water-dependent or water related. Because there is a very limited amount of shorelands adjacent to the Port Angeles Harbor, a zone that allows for mixed uses that do not adversely impact each other can maximize potential water-dependent, water related, and water enjoyment uses of the harbor without excluding either industrial or nonindustrial uses being intermixed. Certain commercial, residential, public, and other mixed uses may be appropriately located in this zone, and PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 47 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 96 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 therefore heavy industrial manufacturing uses, which have significant nuisance factors, shall not be located in this zone. J. IP Zone. This is an industrial zone intended to create and preserve areas for office, commercial and industrial uses devoid of exterior nuisances in a planned, campus-like setting. Permitted uses are devoid of exterior nuisance factors, such as noise, glare, air and water pollution, and fire and safety hazards on adjacent non-industrial property, and do not have an exceptional demand on public facilities. These types of office, commercial and industrial uses typically involve the need for a large campus-like site with amenities suitable for mixed use developments and buffering measures to reduce the impact of large scale development on adjacent uses. While industrial and commercial uses that are devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed, vehicle service stations with petroleum products and entertainment businesses with adult-only activities are also permitted uses, and a variety of maintenance and repair shops with hazardous materials are also conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides for variety in the urban land use pattern for mixed industrial and commercial uses with direct access on an arterial street, design standards for high density, pedestrian oriented, mixed uses located adjacent to major transportation facilities, design standards for compatible mixed industrial and commercial development, and support for private parking and business improvements. K. IL Zone. This is an industrial zone intended to create and preserve areas for industrial uses which are largely devoid of exterior nuisances in close proximity to airports and highways. Permitted uses are largely devoid of exterior nuisance factors, such as noise, glare, air and water pollution, and fire and safety hazards on adjacent non-industrial property, and do not have an exceptional demand on public facilities. These types of industrial uses typically involve the manufacture of finished products from pre-fabricated materials, product wholesaling, and material storage. Buffering measures to reduce the impact of industrial uses on nearby residential uses may be required. While industrial and commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed, vehicle service stations with petroleum products and entertainment businesses with adult-only activities are also permitted uses, and a variety of maintenance and repair shops with hazardous materials are also conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for light industrial uses with direct access on an arterial street, design standards for greater truck traffic, and buffers for nonindustrial uses. L. IH Zone. This is the least restrictive industrial zone intended to be the area in which heavy industry could develop causing the least impact on other land uses. Significant adverse impacts can be expected from permitted industrial uses that involve hazardous materials, noise, air and water pollution, shift work around the clock, entertainment businesses with adult-only activities, and outside storage yards and manufacturing activities. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for heavy industrial uses with direct access to major transportation facilities, design standards for greater truck traffic, and buffers for nonindustrial uses unless deemed impractical. M. PBP Zone. This is a zoning designation for publicly-owned property, or property less suitable for development by reason of its topography, geology, or some unusual condition or situation. Much of the land so designated may best be left as "green belts". Except for low PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 48 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 97 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 density private residential uses, permitted uses are mostly public utilities and large civic facilities. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for public facilities, open space, and environmentally sensitive areas where public interests are directly involved and with allowances for very low density private residential use, subject to environmental impact mitigation. N. FL Zone. This is a zoning designation for privately-owned property not intended for future conversion to urban development. Much of the land so designated may best be used for commercial timber production. This zone provides the basic nonurban land use pattern for natural resource uses, subject to environmental impact mitigation if converted to urban development. O. Home occupation permit. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that an occupation or business undertaken within a dwelling unit located in a residential use district is incidental and subordinate to the primary use and is compatible with the residential character of the neighborhood. This special use permit provides allowances for business activities taking place within a residential use. P. Bed and breakfast permit. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that a bed and breakfast is compatible with its surrounding properties, and when located in a residential neighborhood, to preserve the residential character of the neighborhood and the surrounding residences. This special use provides procedures and regulations for business activities taking place within a residential use. Q. Adult entertainment use. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that adult entertainment businesses are appropriately located and operated within the City of Port Angeles, are compatible with uses allowed within the City, and are conducive to the public health, safety and welfare. This chapter provides procedures and regulations for specific adult-only business activities. R. Retail stand permit. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that retail stands are appropriately located in the commercial and public areas, are compatible with the uses allowed in such areas, and are conducive to the public health, safety, and welfare, and to promote the diversity of retail stand activity. This special use provides procedures and regulations for business activities taking place outside a building or on public property. S. Junk yard conditional use. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that junk yards are appropriately located, are compatible with uses allowed within the City, and are conducive to the public health, safety and welfare. This chapter provides for junk yards to be permitted through the conditional use permit process.

A. The following area and dimensional requirements apply to all R7 zones: NOTE: The geographic limitation for small lots is suggested by engineering staff due to preliminary findings from an ongoing sewer capacity analysis.

This is a medium density residential zone that allows a mix of single-family, two- family/duplexes, multi-family multi-unit dwellings types at a density greater than single-family household neighborhoods but less than the higher densities of the RHD Zone. The permitted uses in the RMD Zone are also intended to be more restrictive than the RHD Zone. Commercial uses are not considered to be compatible. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. This zone provides for variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's lower density multi-family residential neighborhoods (at twice the density of the City's basic single-family residential neighborhoods) with direct access on an arterial street, usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land, and serving as a transitional use between low density residential uses and commercial/industrial uses. 17.14.020 Permitted uses. A. Accessory residential dwelling units. 1 \[\] B. Adult family homes. C. Apartments (individual units, not apartment buildings). C. Bed and breakfasts. D. Child day caresChild care facility. E. Family day care providerChild care provider. F. Short term rental. G. Group living. NOTE: Given the purpose of medium-density development and the limited land area of the RMD zone, it is recommended to prevent any further development of new single-household dwellings in the zone. Existing single-household dwellings may continue to exist and be renovated/expanded. H. Single-family dwellings. Single-household dwellings existing as of (INSERT ADOPTION DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE). NOTE: Stakeholders noted the limitations of 4-unit buildings. Consistent with dimensional updates in section .050 below, more flexibility with buildings up to 6-units (for multifamily and townhomes) is recommended to provide more housing capacity. All townhome and multifamily buildings will still need to meet applicable design standards proposed in this code update. I. Multi-family dwellings (buildings with sixfour units or less). J. Townhouses (sixfour attached units or less). K. Two-family dwellings, or dDuplexes. NOTE: Cottages are currently allowed in RMD but were not shown in this list of uses before.

However, townhouse shall meet applicable side setback standards for adjacent lots outside of the development. 4 A 25% height bonus is available if the detached structure is within the building envelope required of a principal structure in the zone that the property is located. NOTE: Exception (3) is moved to the table above. We recommend eliminating the need for exceptions (1) and (2); per staff, few if any developments have taken advantage of this bonus because the density limits are currently too low to make the exception needed. B. Exceptions to maximum lot and site coverage: 1. An additional ten percent coverage that enables development to achieve the allowed maximum density of the RHD zone per 17.15.050.A.; or 2. An additional ten percent coverage for development that is reserved as affordable housing. All applicants seeking bonus impervious surface for inclusion of affordable housing shall provide a mechanism to ensure that affordable housing remains affordable for the life of the project. Such mechanism shall be approved by the City Attorney in conjunction with the Department of Community and Economic Development, and shall be recorded on the land title; in addition: 3.

Since cottages are smaller, they tend to cost more/square feet and thus the 2 for 1 bonus is necessary to make them economically viable. 17.16.010 Purpose. This overlay zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations that permit and encourage the use of small housing design, conservation and protection of natural critical area amenities, and innovation in residential structure organization to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Cottage Housing Development (CHD) will result in a residential development using non-traditional small housing concepts, such as clustering. A CHD application may be made for all high and medium density zones as well as RS-7 Zones. The resulting development shall be done in a manner consonant with the public health, safety and welfare illustrated in an approved site design that provides all of the components of a fully developed residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation choices, pre-determined building types and locations, natural feature protection and utility services. Clustering will promote cost savings in infrastructure installation and maintenance by such techniques as reducing the distance over which utilities, such as water and sewer lines, need to be extended. Cluster development will provide opportunities for social interaction and walking in open space areas. A CHD application may combine land use decisions such as critical areas protection and boundary line adjustments into a single project review process to encourage timely public hearings and decisions. A CHD may be used to provide for open space conservation while allowing housing densities of the underlying zone. 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. This overlay zone provides for the opportunity to create self-contained residential neighborhoods with a pre-determined variety of housing choices and while following a standard system of existing public streets.

Key features of this chapter include: 1) purpose statements for each zone; 2) compact table of permitted uses; 3) combined table of dimensional standards; 4) cross-references to applicable design standards and other important code provisions. 17.20.010 Chapter purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to: A. Establish the uses generally permitted in each zone which are compatible with the purpose of the zone and other uses allowed within the zone. B. Promote forms of development that reinforce and/or enhance the desired character of Port Angeles business districts. C. Promote compatibility between developments. D. Minimize environmental impacts of development. 17.20.015 Commercial zones purpose statements. \[from Chapters 17.20- 17.24\] A. Central Business District (CBD). This is a commercial zone intended to strengthen and preserve the area commonly known as the downtown for major retail buildings, service, financial, and other commercial operations that serve the entire community, the regional market, and tourists. It is further the purpose of this zone to establishThis zone has standards to improve pedestrian access and amenities and to increase public enjoyment of the shoreline. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Gasoline service islands and marine fueling stations are conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for commercial, mixed use and, pedestrian oriented uses located in the center of the City with direct access to mass transit services, design standards for compatible commercial development, and support for public parking and business improvements. B. Commercial, Arterial (CA). This is a commercial zone intended to create and preserve areas for businesses serving the entire City and needing an arterial location because of the nature of the business or intensity of traffic generated by the business. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Service stations with petroleum products and dry cleaning shops with hazardous materials are permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for automobile oriented, commercial uses with direct access on a principal arterial street and design standards for greater automobile and truck traffic. C. Community Shopping District (CSD). This is a commercial zone oriented primarily to those businesses serving the daily needs of the surrounding residential zones but is slightly less restrictive than the CN Zone and as such provides a transition area from the most restrictive PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 127 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 176 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 commercial zones to those of lesser restrictions. Businesses in this zone may occur on sites of varying sizes and shall should be located at the intersections of arterial streets of sufficient size to satisfy traffic demand and at the boundaries of neighborhoods so that more than one neighborhood may be served. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Service stations with petroleum products are permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for large lot, commercial uses serving much of the City with direct access on an arterial street and design standards for greater automobile and truck traffic. D. Commercial, Neighborhood (CN). This is a commercial zone intended to create and preserve areas for businesses that are of the type providing goods and services for the day- to-day needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Businesses in this zone shall occur on sites no larger than one acre and shall should be located and designed to encourage both pedestrian and vehicle access and to be compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to multi-family residential uses are allowed. This zone provides for variety in the urban land use pattern for small commercial districts serving individual residential neighborhoods with direct access on an arterial street and design standards compatible with residential development. Mixed use buildings are encouraged in this zone. E. Commercial, Office (CO). This is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative, or professional uses that do not involve the retail sale of goods, but rather provide a service to clients, the provision of which does not create high traffic volumes, involve extended hours of operation, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas. Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to single-family household residential uses are allowed. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for small lot, transitional uses between residential neighborhoods and commercial zones with direct access on an arterial street and design standards compatible with residential development. 17.20.020 Permitted uses. A. Use Categories. 1. In order to regulate uses, categories of uses have been established. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning land uses to appropriate categories with other similar uses. Use categories classify land uses and activities based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics. 2. Characteristics include the type and amount of activity, the hours of operation, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, likely impact on surrounding properties, and site conditions. 3. Where a use category contains a list of included uses, the list is to be considered example uses, and not all-inclusive. The Director has the responsibility for categorizing all uses. B. Principal Uses. Allowed principal uses in commercial zones are listed in Table 17.20.020. Principal uses are grouped into categories of uses. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 128 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 177 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 C. Accessory Uses. Accessory uses are permitted in conjunction with a permitted principal use as determined by the Director of Community and Economic Development to be compatible with the intent of this chapter. D. Temporary Uses. Temporary uses are allowed as established in PAMC 17.96.075. E. Shoreline Master Program. Within 200 feet of ordinary high water, permitted or conditional uses must comply with the Shoreline Master Program, as adopted and amended by the City. F. Key to the use table. 1. Permitted Use (P). Where the letter permitted. Permitted uses are those that do not require discretionary land use approval permits, but may require building permits, shoreline permits, or other permits required by Title 14 PAMC. 2. Condition allowed subject to the conditional use review procedures specified in PAMC 17.94.065. 3. Use Not Permitted ( ). Where no symbol appears in the use tables, the subject use is prohibited in that zone. 4. Special Use Limitations (X). For uses containing a subscript , refer to the code reference (X) in the right column next to the subscript All applicable requirements govern a use (X). whether or not they are cross-referenced. 5. Unclassified Uses. Where a proposed use is not classified in the use tables and sections below, the Director must apply the use provisions of a use most similar in scale and associated level of impacts. Where the Director finds that there is no such similar use, the Director must make a determination in writing on whether the use should be permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited, based on the following considerations: purpose of the applicable zone, the mixture of permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses, and the scale and projected impacts of the proposed use. Special criteria in helping to determine whether a use is appropriate for the zone: a. Consider The purpose of the applicable zone. b. The mixture of permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses. c. Tthe scale and type of the use and buildings compared to other permitted uses in the zone. bd. Consider Tthe amount, type, and pattern of vehicular traffic anticipated for the use. ce. Consider tThe expected outdoor uses and activities associated with the use. df. Consider tThe expected noises, odors, emissions, and unique visual impacts associated with the use. e. Any other projected impacts of the proposed use.

Per the survey results, the public favored a focus on affordable housing incentives for bonus heights. Doing any one or combination of the bonus options unlocks the increased height. It is not expected that many projects will utilize the height bonuses in the short-term, but this is an important program to help Port Angeles grow with more affordable housing in the coming years. Other incentives discussed at the public workshops and staff have included public open space, community meeting rooms, public restrooms, public art, child day care, ground floor retail, enhanced landscaping, etc. To keep things simple, these options have not been further developed. A. Purpose. To offer flexibility to allowable height in strategic zones in exchange for affordable forms of housing or a greater diversity of unit sizes. B. Applicability. 1. The provisions of this section are optional. 2. The bonus incentive provisions of this chapter apply to zones with height bonuses established in PAMC 17.20.040. C. Bonus options. Developments meeting one of the following incentives standards qualify for the maximum height with bonus as set forth in Table 17.20.040. NOTE: These first two options are intended to counteract the trend of mid-sized market-rate apartments which are often exclusively 1-2 bedrooms. Option 2 is intended to build more small studio and 1-bedroom units, which naturally have lower rents because they are smaller. These are often ideal for workforce housing and singles. Option 3 is intended to build more 3+ bedroom units, which accommodate roommate arrangements where costs can be shared and lowered per-person, and also to accommodate a variety of family types (children, grandparents, space for a nursery or home office, etc.). 3-4 bedroom homes often cannot be found outside of the detached single-family home market. 1. Participation in the 12-year affordable option of the Property Tax Exemptions for Multi- Family Housing program (Chapter 17.46 PAMC). 2. At least 25 percent of the total dwelling units contain 600 square feet or less of gross floor area. 3. At least ten-percent of the total dwelling units contain three or more bedrooms. D. Recording. Prior to building permit issuance, a building height bonus agreement in a form approved by the Director and City Attorney must be recorded with the Clallam County running with the land and binding on the applicant, property owner, assigns, heirs, and successors.

These standards help implement the infill exemption action under the draft section 15.04.105 by ensuring these housing types are compatible with existing neighborhoods and enjoyable to live in for residents. 17.21.010 Small lot single-household. A. Purpose: 1. To provide opportunities for creative, diverse, and high-quality infill development that is compatible with existing neighborhoods. 2. To promote housing affordability and greater choice by encouraging smaller and more diverse home sizes in accordance with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. 3. To support more efficient use of urban residential land. 4. To provide usable open space for residents. 5. To de-emphasize garages and driveways as major visual elements along the street. 6. To promote architectural variety that adds visual interest to the street and neighborhood. Figure 17.21.010(A)(1) Small lot single-household examples.

Driveway access and garage standards. 1.Where small lot single-householddwellings areon lotsserved by alleys, all garages and on-site parking must be accessible from the alley. The façade facing the street must be designed as the front of the dwelling with a primary building entrance. 2. For individual garage or carport units facing an alley, driveways must be designed to prevent parked cars from protruding into alleys. Such driveways must be either less than five feet long or longer than 20 feet, measured along the centerline of the driveway. C. Entry standards. 1. Clear and obvious pedestrian access between the sidewalk the building entry is required for new dwellings. 2. All new dwellings must provide a covered pedestrian entry, such as a covered porch or recessed entry, with minimum weather protection of three-feet by three-feet. Figure 17.21.010(A)(1) Small lot entry configuration examples. D. Minimum useable open space standards. 1. Every home must provide a minimum 100-square feet covered outdoor area at the side or rear of the dwelling. 2. Every lot must provide a useable open space equivalent to at least ten-percent of the lot area, with a minimum dimension of 15-feet on all sides of the useable open space. For example, a 3,500-square feet lot would require a contiguous open space of at least 350 square feet. Porches, patios, and the covered outdoor area required above may be used to fulfill this requirement provided they are part of an open space that meets the minimum dimension requirement. 3. If the rear edge of the usable open space is within five feet of an alley, any fence between the rear edge and the alley must be limited to four feet in height except where the portion of the fence between four and six feet in height is at least 50 percent transparent. 4. Driveways do not count in the calculations for usable open space. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 142 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 191 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 5. LID stormwater BMPs, like rain gardens, may be integrated in up to 25 percent of the minimum required usable open space area. 6. Additions must not create or increase any nonconformity with this standard. Figure 17.21.010(A)(1) Small lot open space examples. Acceptable Example Alley loaded lot that uses a zero-lot line configuration that allows for a wider/consolidated side yard (at least 15 feet wide) where the adjacent home excludes windows on the facing wall. Unacceptable Example Open space surrounded by this fence is both too narrow and awkwardly located to be useable PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 143 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 192 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 E. Tree standards. Trees must be integrated into new small lot single-household developments at the time of occupancy at the rate one tree per lot. 1. Trees may be either coniferous or deciduous. 2. Required trees must not be located in public right-of-way (see Chapter 11.13 PAMC for street tree standards). 3. See Chapter PAMC 17.22, Landscaping Standards, for related landscaping plans, installation, and maintenance standards. NOTE: For context, some communities have the following types of architectural standards which are not being considered for small-lots in Port Angeles: Front door visible from the street Contrasting trim Recessed windows Roof overhang Pitched roof Exterior materials Front façade articulation Façade transparency PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 144 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 193 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 17.21.020 Accessory dwelling unit (ADU). \[17.94.070\] NOTE: These standards are moved from 17.94.070 so that similar housing-type specific regulations are grouped together in this new chapter. Updates to ADU regulations recommended to improve their feasibility as an infill housing option and to streamline the code. For example, the definition of gross floor area and the regulations for setbacks do not need to be repeated here. A. Purpose. The purpose of an accessory dwelling unit is to: 1. Add affordable units to existing housing and make housing units available to moderate- income people who might otherwise have difficulty finding homes within the city. 2. Promote the development of additional housing options in residential neighborhoods that are appropriate for people at a variety of stages of their lives. 3. Provide homeowners with a means of obtaining, through tenants in either the accessory dwelling unit or the principal residence, rental income, companionship, or security. 4. Protect neighborhood stability, property values, and the character of the neighborhood. B. Standards. An ADU, in any zone, must comply with the following development standards: 1. Configuration. An ADU may be located either within, attached to, or detached from the a primary structure housing the a primary single-family household residencedwelling. 2. Density. Only one ADU may be created in conjunction with each single-familyhousehold residencedwelling. The ADU must be located on the same zoning lot as the single- familyhousehold residencedwelling. 3. Minimum lot size. An ADU must not be established on any parcel smaller than 3,5005,000 square feet. 4. Maximum unit size. The ADUgross floor area, calculated from finished wall to finished wall, of an existing structure, an addition, or new detached structure, converted to, or constructed for the purpose of creating an ADU must not exceed 50 percent of the gross floor area of the primary single-familyhousehold residencedwelling, not including a detached garage and/or a detached accessory building, or 600 square feet, whichever is larger. The unit may not be more than one-bedroom. 5. Setbacks, height, and lot site coverage. ADUs must comply with the site coverage, height, and setback requirements of the zone. Additions to existing structures, or the construction of new detached structures, associated with the establishment of an ADU must not exceed the allowable lot coverage or encroach into required setbacks as prescribed in the underlying zone. 6. Scale and visual subordination. The ADU must be visually subordinate to the primary unit. If the ADU is located within an existing residence, there can only be one main entrance located on the primary street-facing facade of the single-family residential structure, unless the residence contained additional entrances before the ADU was proposed. An exception to this regulation is an entrance that does not have access from the ground, such as an entrance from a balcony or deck. Detached ADU's and entrances PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 145 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 194 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 that do not have access from the ground, such as an entrance from a balcony or deck, are exempt from this standard. 1. Building height and footprint: If the ADU is detached from the primary single-family residence, it must abide by the building height and footprint of the particular zone where the ADU is located. NOTE: The below addition will eliminate ambiguity that exists with the current language. 7. Parking. The off-street parking requirements set forth in Chapter 14.40 must be provided or and maintained for the primary residencedwelling. No additional parking is required for an ADU. NOTE: The below text deletion DOES NOT eliminate the separate connection requirement, but rather removes an internal code duplication because separate utility connections are still required by various provisions in Title 13. Numerous stakeholders have noted the separate utility connection requirement is a barrier to ADU development, and it will be reviewed with the Public Works Department and the Utilities Advisory Committee in a future code update process. 8. Construction standards. The design and construction of the ADU shall must conform to all applicable State and City standards in the building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire, health and any other applicable codes. The ADU shall be served by water and electrical services that are separate from the primary residential services. A separate address must be created for the ADU.

First, it is unusual to treat cottage housing as an overlay requiring a special application, review, and approval process that is different than other housing types, which introduces competitivity and potential for delays. The maximum cottage size of 750 square feet and density bonus of 1.25 (25%) are too limiting for economic feasibility and to meet market interest for detached housing types. And the current standards lack key details for ensuring the cottage buildings, common open space, community buildings, landscaping, parking areas, and other features are designed appropriately to maximize compatibility with existing neighborhoods. A. Purpose: 1. Provide opportunities for creative, diverse and high-quality infill development that is compatible with existing neighborhoods. 2. Promote housing affordability and greater choice by encouraging smaller and more diverse home sizes in accordance with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. 3. Support compatibility with existing neighborhoods by promoting high-quality design. 4. Support more efficient use of urban residential land. 5. Enhance the character of the residential neighborhood. 6. Provide usable open space for residents. 7. Support protection of natural critical area amenities PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 147 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 196 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 Figure 17.21.030(A)(1) Cottage housing example with key standards.

B. Lot size standard. Cottages are exempt from minimum lot area and lot width standards, provided they comply with density and design standards herein. C. Density standard. Due to the smaller relative size of cottage units, each cottage may be counted as one-half a dwelling unit for the purpose of calculating density. For example, a cluster of six cottages would be equivalent to three dwelling units. D. Minimum and maximum number of cottages. 1. Cottage housing developments must contain a minimum of three cottages. 2. Three to 12 cottage structures may make up a cluster. There is no limit on the number of clusters provided all other standards are met. 3. In the R7, RMD, and RHD zones, attached duplex cottages are allowed. 4. Accessory dwelling units are not permitted in cottage housing developments, except as provided in subsection (K) below. E. Setbacks and separation standards. 1. The minimum setbacks set forth in Chapters 17.10 through 17.20 PAMC apply to the development frontage and external side and rear property lines of the entire cottage development. 2. Individual cottages buildings must be separated from each other by at least six-feet. Permitted projections into required side setbacks in the zoning chapters (Chapters 17.10 through 17.20 PAMC) apply. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 149 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 198 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 3. Cottages must be setback at least five-feet from any internal pedestrian path. Permitted projections into required front setbacks also apply. 4. Cottages must be setback at least ten-feet from any internal access lanes that provide access to four or more cottages. For access lanes serving less than four cottages, at least five-feet of separation is required between access lanes and cottages. Permitted projections into required front setbacks also apply for setbacks to internal access lanes (see PAMC 17.94.120). F. Building height standards. 1. Cottages have a maximum building height of 25-feet. All parts of the roof above 18-feet must be pitched with a minimum roof slope of 6:12. 2. The height of accessory structures in cottage housing developments is limited as prescribed in the underlying zone. G. Cottage size standards. Cottages must contain no more than 1,200-square feet gross floor area, not including attached garages. H. Entry and porch standards. 1. Clear and obvious pedestrian access between the sidewalk and the building entry is required for new dwellings. 2. All new dwellings must provide a covered pedestrian entry, such as a covered porch or recessed entry, with minimum weather protection of three-feet by three-feet. 3. Porches. Cottage façades facing the common open space or common internal walkway must feature a roofed porch at least 70-square feet in size with a minimum dimension of seven-feet on any side. The required porch does not count as private open space for the size or dimension requirements of subsection (L)(1). Cottages sited between a street and the common open space are also subject to the entry requirements in subsection (b) above. I. Façade transparency standards. Transparent windows and/or doors are required on at least eight- percent of façades featuring the primary entrance and facing streets and common open spaces. For corner lots, this standard is only applied to the elevation containing the primary entrance. J. Common open space standards. 1. Minimum size. Common open space must be at least 400-square feet per cottage. 2. Minimum dimensions. Common open space must have no dimension less than 15-feet. Areas used to meet private open space requirements \[see subsection (L) below\] may not be double-counted as common open space. 3. Elements. Common open space may include a lawn, courtyard, plaza, garden, or other shared central open space and may not include parking areas. Common open space must be useable and may not include critical areas or critical area buffers, including steep slopes. LID stormwater BMPs, like rain gardens, may be integrated in up to 25- percent of the minimum required usable open space area. 4. Orientation. Common open space must have cottages abutting on at least two sides. At least 50-percent of the cottages in each cottage housing cluster must abut common PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 150 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 199 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 open space. Cottages abutting the common open space must be oriented around and have the primary entrance face the common open space. 5. Access. Cottages must be within 100-feet walking distance of the common open space and feature a direct pedestrian connection to the common open space. K. Shared community buildings standards. 1. A shared community building may be integrated into the common open space area required in subsection (J) above but must not be included in the minimum common open space area calculations. 2. Non-residential use. A shared community building may include uses such as, but not limited to, a multi-purpose entertainment space, recreation center, kitchen, library, storage space, workshop, or similar amenities that promote shared use and a sense of community. Commercial uses other than child care are prohibited. 3. Residential use. A shared community building may contain one attached accessory dwelling unit (see PAMC 17.21.020). 4. Height. Shared community buildings have a maximum building height of 25-feet. All parts of the roof above 18-feet must be pitched with a minimum roof slope of 6:12. 5. Size. Shared community buildings have a maximum ground floor footprint of 1,200- square feet. 6. Other standards. Except for the height and size exceptions identified in subsections (4-5) above, shared community buildings are subject to the accessory structure standards in the zoning chapters (17.10 through 17.20). L. Private open space standards. 1. Minimum size. The minimum private open space adjacent to each cottage must be at least 200-square feet with no dimension less than ten-feet. 2. Access. The private open space must have direct access from the cottage via a door or porch. 3. Location. The private open space is encouraged to be located between the cottage and the common open space. 4.

Townhouse dwelling units must provide open space at least equal to ten-percent of the gross floor area. The required open space may be provided by one or more of the following: 1. Private ground level open space that is directly adjacent and accessible to dwelling units. Such space must have minimum dimensions of at least 12 feet on all sides and be configured to accommodate human activity such as outdoor eating, gardening, toddler play, etc. Street setbacks may be used to meet this standard, provided they are defined with a fence (meeting standards of PAMC 17.94.140 2. Balconies, roof decks or porches. 3. Shared open space that meets the design requirements of PAMC 17.22.230, provided such space is visible and directly accessible to townhouse dwelling units. 4. LID stormwater BMPs, like rain gardens, may be integrated in up to 25 percent of the minimum required usable open space area. Individual private open spaces for one unit that exceed the open space standards may not be used to help meet the open space standards for other dwelling units. Shared open spaces that meet the standards of subsection (E)(3) of this section, however, may be used to supplement private open spaces meeting subsections (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this section to help dwelling units meet the usable open space standards herein.

The purpose of these commercial and multifamily design standards is to implement the goals and policies of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and the objectives of each zone as provided in this title. The purpose of this chapter is to: A. Promote a diverse mix of retail, housing, office, and civic land uses and a genuine sense of place in Port Angeles. B. Encourage development that is pedestrian-oriented and human-scale in an aesthetically attractive, energy efficient, easily accessible, and economically healthy environment. C. Include diverse retail and service uses, higher density residential housing, a network of pedestrian-oriented streets, and a high degree of connectivity for all modes of travel. D. 17.22.020 Applicability. A. New development. 1. The provisions of this chapter govern all multifamily, commercial, and other non- residential development within the RMD, RHD, CBD, CSD, CA, CN, and CO zones. These provisions do not apply to townhouses unless otherwise noted in this Chapter. 2. The landscaping provisions of this chapter apply to other uses and zones when referenced in other chapters of Title 17. 3. This chapter has some references to other citywide regulations which may take precedence over this chapter. NOTE: The provisions below take a relaxed approach to remodels and additions, trying to strike the right balance of encouraging remodels and achieving long term design conformance. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 162 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 211 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 B. Relationship to other codes. Where provisions of this chapter conflict with provisions in any other section of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC), this chapter prevails unless otherwise noted. C. Building additions, remodels, and site improvements. Three different thresholds have been established to determine how the standards herein are applied to such projects. 1. Level I improvements include all exterior remodels, building additions, and/or site improvements that affect the exterior appearance of the building/site and/or cumulatively increase the gross floor area on a site less than 50-percent within three years of the date of building permit issuance. The requirement for such improvements is only that the proposed improvements meet the standards and do not lead to further nonconformance with the standards. siding must meet the applicable exterior building material standards, but elements such as building articulation would not be required. 2. Level II improvements include all improvements that cumulatively increase the gross floor area on a site by 50-percent to 100-percent, within three years of the date of building permit issuance. All standards that do not involve repositioning the building or reconfiguring site development must apply to Level II improvements. For example, if a property owner of an existing business in the CSD zone wants to build an addition equaling 75-otprint, then the following elements must apply: a. The location and design of the addition/remodel must be consistent with Chapter 17.22 PAMC, Block Frontage Standards, which addresses building frontages, entries, parking lot location, and street setback landscaping. For such developments seeking additions to buildings where off-street parking location currently does not comply with applicable parking location standards, building additions are allowed provided they do not increase any current nonconformity and generally bring the project closer into conformance with the standards (see Chapter 14.40 PAMC). b. Comply with the standards of Chapter 17.22 PAMC, Site Planning Standards. c. Comply with all provisions of Chapter 17.22 PAMC, Building Design Standards, except architectural scale and materials provisions related to the existing portion of the building where no exterior changes are proposed. All new exterior wall areas must comply with building elements/details, materials, and blank wall treatment standards. d. Comply with the off-street parking, landscaping, and signage provisions of this chapter that relate to proposed improvements. 3. Level III improvements include all improvements that cumulatively increase the gross floor area on a site by more than 100-percent within three years of the date of building permit issuance. Such developments must conform to all applicable standards, except in a case where there are multiple buildings on one site, and only one building is being enlarged. In that scenario, improvements to the additional buildings are not required, but conformance with all other standards apply.

The provisions of this chapter are additional to the underlying zoning standards (permitted uses, setbacks, building heights, etc.). Most sections within this chapter herein include the following elements: A. Purpose statements, which are overarching objectives. B. voluntary measures. C. mustmandatory actions. 1. Some standards are easily quantifiable, while others provide a level of discretion to the applicant in how they are complied with. In the latter case, the applicant must demonstrate to the Director, in writing, how the choices made for the development meets the purpose of the standard. 2. Departures may be allowed for specific standards in this Chapter 17.22 PAMC. They allow alternative designs provided the Director determines the resulting design and he standards and other applicable criteria. See PAMC 17.22.040 for related procedures associated with departures. 17.22.040 Departures. A. Purpose. A number of specific departure opportunities to the design standards contained in this chapter are provided. Departure opportunities are signaled by the capitalized word DEPARTURE or the symbol. The purpose is to provide applicants with the option of proposing alternative design treatments, when they can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that it is equal to or better than the standard, provided such departures meet B. Requests for departures are voluntary. This provision allows the flexibility for applicants to propose alternative designs on a voluntary basis. C. Applicability. Departure opportunities are available only where noted for specific standards. D. Procedures. Permit applications that include departure requests are reviewed administratively and the approval decision is made by the Director. E. Approval criteria. Project applicants must successfully demonstrate to the Director how the proposed departure meets the purpose(s) of the standard, and other applicable departure criteria that applies to the specific standard. F. Documentation. The Director must document the reasons for approving all departures within the project application records for the purpose of providing consistency in decision- making by the city.

A. Purpose. The purpose of these standards is to: 1. Enhance the privacy and security of residents living on the ground floor. 2. Provide an effective visual and physical transition between the public realm and the private realm. 3. Enhance the relationship between the building and the street through high-quality landscape and architectural design. B. Applicability. All developments with ground-floor residential uses adjacent to public streets must comply with the frontage standards in this section. C. Standards. Design treatments must be integrated to enhance the character of the public and semi-public realm while respecting the privacy of adjacent residential units. Design criteria applicable to ground-floor residential frontages are as follows: 1. Direct access. All units abutting public sidewalks are encouraged to have individual ground-floor entries directly accessible to the sidewalk. 2. Unit setback and elevation. Provide privacy for people living in the adjacent dwelling units and ensure the applicable street environment is comfortable through all of the following measures: a. Provide a 5-feet minimum setback from public sidewalks, unless a greater setback is required per applicable block frontage standards. Figure 17.22.170(C)(2)(a) Minimum setback between a ground floor residence and public sidewalk. b. Where the façade is within ten feet of a street, the ground level of dwelling units must be raised from three to five feet above the level of the corresponding sidewalk. On sloped sites, the minimum and maximum heights must be calculated using the average ground elevation at perimeter walls as determined by the final grade noted on the building plan.

Enhance the privacy of residents and provide an effective transition between the public and private realm by integrating all of the following measures: a. , such as a hedge, retaining wall, rockery, stair, gate, railing, or a combination of such elements on private property that defines and bridges the boundary between public right of way and the private entry, porch, yard, or patio. Thresholds may screen, but not completely block, views to and from the public and semi-public realm areas. b. Provide an outdoor space at least four feet-deep and six-feet wide (24-square feet minimum area) in the front setback, such as a porch, patio, deck, or stoop. Where feasible, this space must be at the same level as the interior of the unit. Overhead building projections may cantilever over the outdoor space by up to 50- percent of the minimum ground level setback to public and private realm areas. c. Provide a covered area, porch or protected entry space, or other architectural weather protection at least three feet deep that provides cover for a person entering the unit and a transitional space between outside and inside the dwelling. d. Landscaping planters (in-ground or constructed and raised) must be integrated into transitional areas between the dwelling unit and the adjacent public and semi-public realm areas (see the figures below for examples). e. DEPARTURES may be proposed for the design criteria in subsection (3) above featuring the symbol provided the design enhances the privacy of adjacent units and provides an effective and attractive transition between the public and private realm. 4.

Where a property fronts onto more than one street and each street has a different frontage designation, each building frontage must comply with the standards for the block frontage upon which it fronts, with the following clarifications: A. Conflicts. Where a conflict exists between frontage standards, the Director will apply the standards of a block frontage pursuant to the following order of preference: 1. Storefront. 2. Mixed. 3. Landscaped. 4. Basic. Subsections (B-E) below clarify how the order of preference works for particular frontage elements. B. Building Location. For corner sites with Landscaped block frontage on one street and Storefront or Mixed on another, a Storefront frontage may wrap around the corner (on the Landscaped block frontage side) for up to a half block width or no more than 120 feet (whichever is more). C. Entrances. For corner sites, entrances on both streets are encouraged, but only one entrance is required. For corner sites with frontage on a Storefront block frontage on one side, an entrance must be placed on the Storefront block frontage side. For corner sites with a mix of designations that do not include a Storefront block frontage, the entry must be placed on the side listed first in the order of preference identified above. An entrance at the building corner and facing an intersection must be permitted under any of the above scenarios. DEPARTURES may be considered, provided the location and design of the entry and block frontage treatments are compatible with the character of the area and enhance the character of the street. D. Transparency. For corner sites, at least one block frontage must meet the applicable transparency standards (based on the order of preference above). For the second block frontage, the Director may approve a reduction in the minimum amount of transparency by 50 percent. For street corners with the same designations on both frontages, buildings must employ the full transparency on the dominant frontage (based on the frontage width or established neighborhood pattern). E. Parking. Surface parking (including ground floor parking in a structure) adjacent to a street corner is not allowed, except: 1. On corner lots with Basic frontages on both streets. 2. On corners with other combination of block frontages, except those with a Storefront designation, via a DEPARTURE and subject to the applicable departure criteria.

The entries of the example on the left connect directly to a public sidewalk while the entries in the right example connect to a common path that extends to the sidewalk. Figure 17.22.240(C)(2)(b) Examples of attractive pedestrian connection through a residential development. 3. Crosswalks. Crosswalks are required when a walkway crosses an on-site paved area accessible to vehicles. a. Appearance. All crosswalks must contain contrasting material (such as concrete) and/or patterns (such as stamped asphalt), excluding painted surfaces. b. Raised crosswalks (speed tables). On sites larger than one acre, all crosswalks near major building entrances, parking garage entries, vehicular entries to the site, and other high-traffic areas must be vertically raised to sidewalk level. The purpose of raised crosswalks is to provide a continuous walking or rolling surface, increase the visibility of pedestrians, and slow the speed of vehicular traffic. This requirement does not apply to crosswalks crossing public roadways. 4. Pedestrian walkways through parking lots. Developments with 50 or more parking spaces must include specially marked or paved walkways through parking areas. At least PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 208 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 257 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 one walkway must be provided for every four rows of parking, or at a maximum spacing of 200 feet. The walkways must provide a safe connection to the building entrance and meet the walkway design standards in subsection (D) of this section. See examples below. Figure 17.22.240(C)(4) Parking lot pedestrian walkway standards and examples. Note the location of the parking lot walkway in the upper right example (connecting shops in one building to the main entry of a grocery store). Note in both examples that the concrete walkway extends into the vehicular area to provide a highly visible and safe crosswalk. 5. Connections to adjacent properties (including parks and trails). Except when adjacent properties have less than five dwelling units, pedestrian walkways that connect to adjacent properties must be provided. Public sidewalks in the right-of-way must not count towards this requirement. DEPARTURES will be considered where it is determined that internal connections are not necessary or practical due to lot depths, steep slopes, or other contextual challenges. 6. Barriers that limit future pedestrian access are prohibited. Gates that limit access to employees and residents are permitted. See subsection (D) below for walkway design standards. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 209 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 258 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 D. Walkway design. 1.All internal pedestrian walkways musthave a minimum six-feet-wide unobstructed walking surface, except where wider walkways are prescribed elsewhere in this chapter or where the applicable uses and context dictate wider walkways. 2. Where a pedestrian walkway is adjacent to perpendicular or angled parking, wheel stops are required to prevent encroachment of parked vehicles over the walkway. In lieu of wheel stops, an extra two feet of walkway width must be provided. See PAMC 17.22.250(B) for other situations in which wheel stops or curbing may be required. 3. Pedestrian walkways must be separated from structures by at least three feet for landscaping except where the adjacent building façade meets the storefront block frontage standards per PAMC 17.22.120. DEPARTURES will be considered where other landscaping and/or façade design treatments to provide attractive walkways are proposed. Examples include, but are not limited to, sculptural, mosaic, bas-relief artwork, or other decorative treatments that meet the purpose. Figure 17.22.240(D)(3) below provides one example. Figure 17.22.240(D)(3) Standards for pedestrian walkways adjacent to buildings. Internal walkways adjacent to building walls that do not meet storefront façade standards must provide at least three feet of landscaping to enhance the character of the walkway. The reviewing authority will consider alternative treatments, such as decorative walls (right example). 4. Where walkways are between a parking lot and a multi-tenant commercial or mixed-use building which is 100 feet or more long, walkways must feature a 12-foot wide sidewalk with the following features: a. Eight feet minimum unobstructed width. b. Trees placed at an average of 50 feet on-center and placed in grates or in planting strips as set forth in subsection (c) below. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 210 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 259 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 DEPARTURE: Breaks in the tree coverage will be considered near building entries to enhance visibility. c. Planting strips may be used between any vehicle access or parking area and the walkway; provided, that the trees required above are included, the walkway meets the applicable width standards herein, and the combined walkway and planting strip is at least 12 feet wide. d. See also PAMC 17.22.250(F) for applicable internal roadway design standards. Figure 17.22.240(D)(2) Example of a successful pedestrian sidewalk between parking lot and storefront.

The standards herein supplement the provisions of the Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines Manual. Where there is a conflict, the provisions herein apply, except that the City Engineer may override this requirement and apply the Public Works standard for a driveway if the Public Works Director finds that a failure to apply the Public Works standards will result in a threat to public safety. A. Purpose. 1. To create a safe, convenient, and efficient network for vehicle circulation and parking. 2. To enhance the visual character of interior access roads. 3. To minimize conflicts with pedestrian circulation and activity. B. Driveways. Driveways must meet the standards of the City of Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines Manual, including, but not limited to, standards for intersection spacing, distance from crosswalks, and width. C. Parking entry location. Parking lot and parking garage entries must provide vehicular access in the following order of preference: 1. Alleys. 2. Basic block frontage streets. 3. Landscaped block frontage streets. 4. Mixed block frontage streets. See related standards for parking and driveway location under Chapter 17.22 PAMC, Block Frontage Standards. D. Garage entries and pedestrian safety. 1. Parking garage entries must be well-integrated into the design of the building and must not dominate the streetscape. They should be designed and sited to complement, not subordinate, the pedestrian entry. 2. Where vehicles enter and exit a parking garage across a sidewalk or internal path, direct visibility between pedestrians and motorists must be provided. Treatments must include setback entries, cropped wall corners, wall openings, or other treatments to enhance safety and visibility. Treatments should also include pavement markings or changes in pavement materials. Mirrors and electronic visual/audio warnings alone must not be acceptable methods of visibility. 3. Parking garage entries are encouraged to have flat driveways behind the sidewalk for the length of at least one vehicle in order to enhance visibility between pedestrians and motorists exiting the garage. Steeply sloping driveways immediately adjacent to a sidewalk or internal path require greater application of visibility treatments described in (D)(2) above. 4. Garage entry doors and gates, if provided, must be at least 50 percent transparent between the bottom and top of the door or gate in order to enhance the safety of garage users.

Left: This commercial/loading entry has cropped corners that are also utilized for store windows. Right: This residential garage has a setback and cropped corners on both sides that are also integrated into the design of the building façade above. E. Drive-throughs. Drive-through facilities are accessory to permitted uses. This includes drive-through lanes and service windows for restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and other commercial uses. 1. Where permitted. a. CA, CSD, CO, and CN zones. Permitted, provided the standards of this section are met. b. Drive-throughs are prohibited in the CBD zone, except for ticket kiosks at ferry terminals and parking facilities. 2. Block frontage standards. a. Parking areas. For the purpose of complying with the Landscaped or Mixed block frontage standards in PAMC 17.22.130-140, drive-through lanes are considered a parking area and are calculated as part of the parking area along the frontage. Exception: In the CA zone, drive-through lanes are not considered a parking area. b. Facades must comply with transparency requirements for the applicable block frontage in PAMC 17.22.130-140. 3. Screening. Drive-through lanes, including waiting and holding lanes, must be buffered from the street and internal walkways by one of the design options set forth in Table 17.22.250(E)(2) below: Table 17.22.250(E)(3) Drive-through lane screening standards and options. When adjacent to a street When adjacent to an internal walkway ing strip with Type B or C landscaping per wide planting strip with Type B or C landscaping per PAMC 17.22.425 PAMC 17.22.425.

Pedestrian access. Drive-through lanes must not prevent pedestrian access between a public sidewalk and on-site buildings. Designated walkways must not be located within required stacking space. See Figure 17.22.250(E)(4) for an example. 5. Noise. Noise from drive-through speakers must not be audible from adjacent residential properties. See also Chapter 15.16 PAMC for noise control standards. Figure 17.22.250(E)(5) Drive-through example. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 214 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 263 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 17.22.260 Service areas and mechanical equipment. A. Purpose. 1. To minimize adverse visual, odor, fumes, and noise impacts of mechanical equipment, utility cabinets and other service areas at ground and roof levels. 2. To provide adequate, durable, well-maintained, and accessible service and equipment areas. 3. To protect residential uses and adjacent properties from impacts due to location and utilization of service areas. B. Location of ground-level service areas and mechanical equipment. Ground-level building service areas and mechanical equipment includes loading docks, trash collection and compactors, dumpster areas, storage tanks, electrical panels, HVAC equipment, and other utility equipment. If any such elements are outside the building envelope at ground level, the following location standards apply: 1. Service areas must be located for convenient service access while avoiding negative visual, auditory, olfactory, or physical impacts on the streetscape environment and adjacent residentially zoned properties. 2. Service areas must not be visible from the sidewalk and adjacent properties. Where the Director finds that the only option for locating a service area is an area visible from a public right-of-way, resident/customer parking area, internal walkway or pedestrian area, or from an adjacent property, the service area must be screened with the structural and landscaping screening measures provided in subsection (C) below. 3. Service areas for multiple users or tenants must be co-located or consolidated to the extent practical. 4. Service areas must be sited for alley access if available. Service elements accessible from an alley are exempt from the screening requirements of this section. 5. All service areas, including but not limited to trash collection areas, must include roofs or overhead weather protection and must meet required stormwater standards. Drainage must be designed to meet applicable NPDES standards. 6. Exterior loading areas for commercial uses must not be located within 20 feet of a residentially zoned property. DEPARTURE: Exterior commercial loading areas are exempt from this standard if the reviewing authority finds such a restriction does not allow feasible development and alternative design measures can successfully mitigate potential negative impacts. For example, areas and drives may be required to be separated from the residential lot by a masonry wall at least eight feet high. 7. Other provisions of this section notwithstanding, service areas used by residents must be located to avoid entrapment areas and other conditions where personal security is potentially a problem. Pedestrian-scaled lighting or other measures may be needed to enhance security. 8. Noise-producing mechanical equipment, such as fans, heat pumps, etc., must be located and/or shielded to minimize sounds and reduce impacts to adjacent dwelling units. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 215 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 264 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 9. Dumpster storage areas must be provided for all development, located on site and not in the public right-of-way, and sized to accommodate the minimum dumpster sizes (as provided by the Port Angeles engineering standards). C. Screening of ground-level service areas and mechanical equipment. Where screening of ground level service areas is required \[see subsection (2)(b) of this section\], the following applies: 1. Structural enclosures must be constructed of masonry, heavy-gauge metal, heavy timber, or other decay-resistant material that is also used with the architecture of the main building. Alternative materials other than those used for the main building are permitted if the finishes are similar in color and texture, or if the proposed enclosure materials are more durable than those for the main structure. The walls must be sufficient to provide full screening from the affected roadway, pedestrian areas, or adjacent use, but must be no greater than seven feet tall. The enclosure may use overlapping walls as a screening method. See Figure 17.22.260(C) below. 2. Gates must be made of heavy-gauge, sight-obscuring material. Chain link or chain link with slats is not an acceptable material for enclosures or gates. 3. Where the interior of a service enclosures is visible from surrounding streets, walkways, or residential units, an opaque or semi-opaque horizontal cover or screen must be used to mitigate unsightly views. The horizontal screen/cover should be integrated into the enclosure design (in terms of materials and/or design). 4. Trash collection points must be located and configured so that the enclosure gate swing does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicle vehicular traffic, or does not require that a hauling truck project into any public right-of-way. Screening elements must allow for efficient service delivery and removal operations. 5. The service area must be paved. 6. The sides and rear of service enclosures must be screened with Type II landscaping at least five-feet wide in locations visible from the street, parking lots, and walkways to soften views of the screening element and add visual interest. Plants must be arranged with a minimum of 50 percent coverage at time of installation and be able to grow to fully screen or shield the equipment within three years. DEPARTURES will be considered, provided the enclosure and landscaping treatment meet the purpose of the standards and add visual interest to site users.

Scoring: 5 = great idea/high priority; 3 = neutral; 1 = very bad idea June 9 workshop average score: 3.7 Online SurveyMonkey average score: 3.7 MAKERS recommendation: Prohibit corporate architecture in all commercial zones. Do not require any specific architectural styles for any type of development in any zones. A. Purpose. 1. To promote buildings with an architectural character that reflects the Port Angeles aesthetic and is based on human-scaled design details, durable high-quality materials, . 2. To emphasize that high-quality design is most critical to high-visibility sites and corridors. 3. To avoid generic, corporate architectural design that degrades the character and identity of Port Angeles. B. Corporate architecture prohibited. Architecture that is defined predominately by corporate identity features and is difficult to adapt to other uses is prohibited. For example, some franchise convenience uses have very specific architectural features (such as a PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 224 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 273 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 distinctive roofline design that functions as a sign) that reinforce their identity. As tenants change in these types of buildings, these corporate identity features can negatively impact the character of the area and identity of new tenants. These features can also be very expensive to reconfigure and adapt to new uses.

SURVEY RESULTS Scoring: 5 = great idea/high priority; 3 = neutral; 1 = very bad idea \[20\] Implement basic façade massing & articulation standards for large buildings. June 9 workshop average score: 4.1 Online SurveyMonkey average score: 4.3 MAKERS recommendation: Move forward with concepts. A. Purpose. This section contains standards that affect the massing of buildings through façade design articulation, façade width, and roofline design. The purpose of this section is: 1. To employ architectural elements (like windows, balconies, entries, etc.) that create a complementary pattern or rhythm, dividing large buildings into smaller identifiable pieces. 2. To integrate substantial articulated/modulated features on large buildings to break up the massing and add visual interest. B. Façade articulation nonresidential. Nonresidential buildings and nonresidential portions of mixed-use buildings must include articulation features to create a human-scaled pattern. For building façades and other building elevations facing parks, containing primary building entrances, and adjacent to lower intensity zones, at least three articulation features must be employed at intervals no greater than 30 feet in the CBD, CN, CO, and CSD zones, and 40 feet in the CA zone. Articulation features include: 1. Window patterns and/or entries. 2. Use of weather protection features. 3. Use of vertical piers/columns. 4. Change in roofline per subsection (F) of this section. 5. Change in building material or siding style. 6. Other design techniques that effectively reinforce a pattern of small storefronts For non-storefront building elevations, the following additional features may be used to meet façade articulation standards: 7. Vertical elements such as a trellis with plants, green wall, or art element. 8. Providing vertical building modulation of at least 12 inches in depth if tied to a change in roofline per subsection (F) of this section or a change in building material, siding style, or color. 9. Other design techniques that effectively break up the massing of structures and add visual interest. DEPARTURE: Other articulation features may be approved, provided they meet the purpose of the standards and the design criteria set forth in subsection (D) of this section. PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 226 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 275 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 Figure 17.22.320(B) Nonresidential articulation examples. The left image uses window patterns, weather protection elements, and roofline modulation. The photo example to the right also includes window patterns and weather protection along with a change in masonry texture and color to articulate the façade. The lower example illustrates how a multitenant retail building can successfully be articulated (windows, weather protection, vertical building modulation, and roofline changes). C. Façade articulation residential. Residential buildings and residential portions of mixed- use buildings must include articulation features at intervals that relate to the location/size of individual units within the building (or no more than every 30 feet) to break up the massing of the building and add visual interest and compatibility to the surrounding context. For building façades and other building elevations facing parks, containing primary building entrances, and adjacent to lower intensity zones, at least three articulation features must be employed at intervals no greater than the unit interval or 30 feet (whichever is less). For all other building elevations, except firewalls, at least two articulation features must be employed at intervals no greater than 30 feet. Articulation features include: 1. Use of windows and/or entries. 2. Change in roofline per subsection (F) of this section. 3. Change in building material, siding style, and/or window pattern.

Balconies may be used to qualify for this option if they are recessed or projected from the façade by at least 18 inches. Juliet balconies or other balconies that appear to be tacked on to the façade will not qualify for this option unless they employ high quality materials and effectively meet the purpose of the standards. 5.Vertical elements such as a trellis with plants, green wall, or art element. 6.Other design techniques that effectively break up the massing at no more than maximum articulation intervals. DEPARTURE: Other designswill be considered provided they meet the purpose of the standards and the design criteria set forth in subsection (D) of this section.

The type and width of the proposed articulation treatment and how effective it is in meeting the purpose given the bu 2. The applicable block frontage designation. Basic block frontages warrant more flexibility than block frontages designated as mixed or landscaped. 3. The size and width of the building. Smaller buildings warrant greater flexibility than larger buildings. 4. The quality of façade materials in concert with doors, windows, and other façade features and their ability to add visual interest to the street from a pedestrian scale and more distant observable scales. E. Maximum façade width. For most buildings, small scale articulation techniques are sufficient to reduce the perceived scale of buildings, add visual interest, and contribute to the pedestrian environment. Larger buildings need more substantial articulated/modulated features to break up the massing and add visual interest. This standard applies to building façades and other building elevations facing parks, containing primary building entrances, and adjacent to lower intensity zones. All applicable façades and elevations wider than 120 feet in the CBD, CO, CN, and CSD zones and 150 feet in the CA zone must include at least one of the following features to break up the massing of the building and add visual interest. Building walls facing alleys, rear or side yards are not subject to the standards herein, except for zone edge properties, when adjacent to a lower intensity zone. 1. Provide vertical building modulation at least six feet deep and 15 feet wide. For multi- story buildings, the modulation must extend through more than one-half of the building floors. 2. Use of a contrasting vertical modulated design component featuring all of the following: a. Component extends through all floors above the first floor fronting on the street. Exception: upper floors that are set back more than ten-feet horizontally from the façade are exempt. b. Utilizes a change in building materials that effectively contrasts with the rest of the façade. c. Component is modulated vertically from the rest of the façade by an average of six inches. d. Component is designed to provide roofline modulation per subsection (F) of this section. 3. Façade employs building walls with contrasting articulation that make it appear like two distinct buildings. To qualify for this option, these contrasting façades must employ all of the following: a. Different building materials and/or configuration of building materials. b. Contrasting window design (sizes or configurations).

DEPARTURES will be considered provided the design meets the purpose of the standards. Supplemental consideration for approving alternative design includes the following: a. Width of the façade. The larger the façade, the more substantial articulation/ modulation features need to be. b. Block frontage designation. Storefront block frontages warrant the most scrutiny while Basic block frontages warrant more flexibility. c. The type of articulation treatment and how effective it is in meeting the purpose Figure 17.22.320(E)(1) Illustrating maximum façade width standards.

The central portion of the left building (Image A) employs substantial horizontal and vertical modulation (from adjacent building elevation segments), a different mix of façade materials, distinctive rooflines and different window fenestration techniques to effectively break up the building massing. Image B building employs distinct façades to lend the appearance that it is several different buildings. Image Cand Dbuildings feature a combination of modest vertical modulation, roofline modulation, and window fenestration techniques, but lack the techniques to visually break up its expansive and repetitious façade length. F.Roofline modulation.In order to qualify as a façade articulation feature in subsections (B), (C), and (E) of this section, rooflines mustemploy one or bothof the following: 1.For flat roofsor façades with horizontal eave, fascia, or parapet, the minimum vertical dimension of roofline modulation is the greater of two feet or 0.1 multiplied by the wall height (finish grade totop of the wall) when combined with vertical building modulation techniques described in the subsections above. Otherwise, the minimum vertical dimension of roofline modulation is the greater of four feet or 0.2 multiplied by the wall height. 2.A pitchedroofline or gabled roofline segment(where allowed)of at least 20 feet in width. Buildings with pitched roofs mustinclude a minimum slope of 5:12 and feature modulated roofline components at the interval by PAMC17.22.320(B) and (C) above. DEPARTURE: Other designs will be considered provided the roofline modulation design effectively reduces the perceived scale of the building and adds visual interest.

Figure 17.22.425(C) Type C landscaping standards. D. Type D Landscaping. 1. Type D landscaping refers to all other landscaped areas that do not qualify as Type A, B, C, E, or F landscaping. While native and low-maintenance trees and shrubs are encouraged in these areas, lawn areas may be used for recreational or design purposes. These areas may also include flower beds and perennial beds. 2. Type D landscaping may include any combination of plant materials, provided they comply with the plant materials standards in PAMC 17.22.420. E. Type E LandscapingLow Hedge. A low hedge is intended to function as an attractive visual divider of space rather than a visual buffer between uses and properties. To qualify as a hedge landscaping type, the planting must be at least 30 inches wide and 30 inches tall. The hedge includes plant materials that typically grow no taller than five feet at maturity or are maintained between 30 inches and 48 inches tall (see the sight obstruction height limits of the Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines Manual when near an intersection).

F. Type F LandscapingRain Garden. 1. A rain garden is a planted depression that collects, absorbs, and filters rainwater runoff from impervious areas. They are sized to accommodate temporary ponding and are not meant to be permanent ponds. They can also function as an attractive visual divider of space. Typical rain garden elements include: a. Garden is located and designed to capture impervious area runoff. b. Six- to 12-inch ponding depth. c. Two- to three-inch mulch layer. d. Gradual side slopes (typically 2:1). e. Overflow design elements with measures to prevent erosion. f. Generous plantings of a variety of small trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and grasses. Select plants suitable for the planting zones within the garden and around the perimeter. Refer to the current Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington for further guidance on rain garden location, design, planting, construction, and maintenance. The current Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) may have altered requirements for engineered rain gardens that are required for on-site stormwater management. 2. The applicability of rain gardens in site design will be determined by project size and flow control exemptions based upon minimum requirement No. 5 of the Western Washington Phase II municipal stormwater permit.

A. Required buffer standards. Landscape buffers between certain uses may be called for in Table 17.22.430 below or elsewhere in this title. The following interpretations apply to Table 17.22.430: 1. The preservation of existing mature trees and vegetation may be preferable to new plant materials in the required buffer areas. The Director may require any of the following to better ensure the survival of existing mature trees and vegetation: a. Augment existing plantings with new plant materials to meet the purpose of the standards, b. Require wider buffers to better ensure the survival of existing mature trees and vegetation. This must be accompanied by use of a buffer averaging approach in which the buffer may be reduced in other locations to achieve, on average, the minimum buffer width required in Table 17.22.430 or elsewhere in this title. c. Other supplemental planting conditions. 2. The letters A, B, C, D, E, and F refer to the landscape types described in PAMC 17.22.425. Where more than one buffer type is referenced in a cell, one of the subject buffer types 3. -foot-high sight-screening fence. Such fences must comply with the provisions of PAMC 17.94.140. 4. The numbers refer to the minimum required width of the required landscaping buffer. 5. Where superscript numbers are included in a cell, see the corresponding note matching the number below the table. 6. The screening elements must extend along the entire property line between the uses/properties except where precluded by structures, driveways, or similar obstructions. 7. Where the use is across the street from an existing abutting use or zone, only the buffer type listed for the abutting street is required.

Reductions in landscaping are allowed for walkways, stoops, porches, patios, pedestrian-oriented space, utility elements, and permitted vehicular access and signage elements. B. Where buildings are set back at least 15 feet from a street property line, trees must be planted at a minimum average of 30 feet apart in such planting areas, with groundcover or shrubs used liberally. DEPARTURES may be considered, provided alternative treatments meet the purposes of this chapter. C. Trees utilized in these planting areas must minimize conflict with underground and overhead utilities. Trees must be from the approved list of recommended plant materials or an approved equivalent. 17.22.440 Parking lot landscaping. A. Purpose. The purpose of parking lot landscape development is to soften the visual effect created by large expanses of barren asphalt. NOTE: Subsection (B) is updated from the old code for multifamily and commercial zones, which said: king areas must include tree landscaping of at least two trees, for each group of six or fewer parking spaces with a minimum of two trees, exclusive of any required perimeter landscaping. Vegetation within LID facilities may be used to meet landscaping req B. Required area. Planting areas in new parking areas with ten or more spaces or in upgraded or improved parking areas with ten or more spaces must constitute at least five percent of the parking area. The unused space resulting from the design of parking space arrangements or accessory structures which is over 24 square feet must be landscaped. Vegetation within LID facilities may be used to meet landscaping requirements. C. Minimum width and length. Planting areas must have a minimum average width of ten feet (measured inside the curb) and must be the same length as the parking stall or column. D. Planting type. Type C landscaping must be used in required planting areas.

PORT ANGELES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CAPACITY CODE AMENDMENTS MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 257 10-27-2021 PC Agenda Packet Pg. 306 Port Angeles Code Amendments_DRAFT FOR PC REVIEW_21-0917 E. Distribution. Landscaped areas must be distributed throughout the parking lot and must have no more than eight consecutive parking spaces. Islands with vegetation within LID facilities may be used to meet landscaping requirements and may exceed maximum eight consecutive spaces. F. Parking lot perimeters. NOTE: In the old code, all development in multifamily and commercial zones had the following requirement: arking lots must be screened by a three-foot to six-foot vision-obscuring fence or vegetation on all sid This new standard below is more detailed and flexible, with more design options. 1. For parking lots adjacent to public streets, Type C landscaping must be used at a width equal to or greater than the minimum building setback specified for the applicable block frontage type specified in Chapter 17.22 PAMC, Block Frontage Standards. DEPARTURES to this standard will be considered pursuant to PAMC 17.22.040, provided they meet the purpose of the standards noted above. 2. For parking lots along internal lot lines, Type A, B, or C landscaping must be used at least ten feet deep, except where a greater buffer width is required per the standards in subsections A and B of this section. Where recorded cooperative parking agreements are in place between adjacent properties, sites are exempt from the subject parking lot landscaping buffer (see PAMC 14.40.070). DEPARTURES to this standard will be considered pursuant to PAMC 17.22.040, provided they meet the purpose of the standards noted above. Examples of acceptable departures may include decorative low walls with landscaping, decorative elevated planters, landscaping with a trellis, a shared-access drive, or a shared pathway.

The foregoing regulations pertaining to the several zones must be subject to the general provisions, conditions, and exceptions contained in this chapter. 17.94.020 - Lot area not to be reduced, exceptions. A. De minimis variance: Adjustment to the lot area of no more than five percent of the minimum lot size established by the underlying zone. 17.94.030 - Use of lots or parcels containing more than minimum required lot area. NOTE: This section is recommended for deletion because it acts as a short plat regulation. Such regulations are already covered by Chapter 16.04 PAMC. When a single lot contains two or more times the minimum lot area required for the zone in which it is located, and the owner desires to use each unit of area equivalent to the minimum lot area as a separate building site, provided not more than four such units result, and no dedication of streets, alleys, or other public ways, public easements or public utility easements are involved, such area units may be so utilized by subdividing the land into individual recorded lots by complying with 58.17 RCW and PAMC Title 16. When such units are thus defined, then all of the provisions of these regulations governing the use of a lot in the zone in which such property is located must apply thereto. Each resulting unit must be required to have frontage upon a dedicated public street or road. 17.94.040 - Yards to be enclosed within a solid fence. A. Every wrecking, salvage, junk, used lumber yards, equipment and material storage yards must be completely enclosed within a building or within a continuous solid fence no less than six feet in height or to a greater height if such height is needed to screen completely all the operations of such yards. B. Salvage and building material establishments must contain all items for display or sale within a structure or behind a sight-obscuring fence not less than six feet in height. No part of any required front, side or rear yard setbacks must be used for the sale or display of any said items. 17.94.050 - Vacated streets. Vacated streets, alleys, places and cul-de-sacs must assume the zone classifications of the property that adjoined such street, alley, place or cul-de-sac prior to vacation. Where zone classification differs from one side to the other the boundary line must be at the former center line of such vacated street, alley, place or cul-de-sac.

A. A building or structure must not be erected on a lot that abuts a street having only a portion of its required width dedicated and where no part of such dedication would normally revert to said lot if the street were vacated, unless the yards provided and maintained in connection with such building or structure have a width or depth of that portion of the lot needed to complete the road width plus the width or depth of the yards required on the lot by these regulations. B. This section applies to all zones. C. Where an official control adopted pursuant to law includes plans for widening of existing streets, the connecting of existing streets, or the establishment of new streets, the placement of buildings and the maintenance of yards, where required by these regulations, must relate to the future street boundaries as determined by said official control. 17.94.065 - Development standards for conditional uses in residential zoning.

Additions to existing structures, or the construction of new detached structures, associated with the establishment of an ARU must not exceed the allowable lot coverage or encroach into required setbacks as prescribed in the underlying zone. F. Scale and visual subordination. The ARU must be visually subordinate to the primary unit. If the ARU is located with an existing residence, there can only be one main entrance located on the primary street-facing facade of the single-family residential structure, unless the residence contained additional entrances before the ARU was proposed. An exception to this regulation is an entrance that does not have access from the ground, such as an entrance from a balcony or deck. Detached ARU's are exempt from this standard. 1. Building height and footprint: If the ARU is detached from the primary single-family residence, it must abide by the building height and footprint of the particular zone where the ARU is located. G. Parking. The off-street parking requirements set forth in Chapter 14.40 must be provided or maintained for the primary residence. H. Construction standards. The design and construction of the ARU must conform to all applicable State and City standards in the building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire, health and any other applicable codes. The ADU must be served by water and electrical services that are separate from the primary residential services. A separate address must be created for the ARU. 17.94.075 - Exception to yard requirement. When the side lot line of a lot in any zone adjoins the side lot line of a lot in a more restrictive zone, the adjoining side yard for such lot must not be less than the minimum side yard required in the more restrictive zone. 17.94.080 - Yard and unobstructed space regulations.

Systems that are not hard surfaces and allow the infiltration of stormwater into the underlying soils, such as bioretention facilities, are exempt from the maximum site coverage requirements of any zone. All applicants seeking exemptions under this section are required to participate in a pre- application review meeting with City staff. A professional engineer licensed in the State of Washington is required to perform infiltration assessment for sites which add 5,000 square feet or more of new or replaced hard surface area. 17.94.140 - Walls and fences. In all residential zones a wall or fence must be no taller than four feet within the front building setback area, provided that a height of six feet is permitted within the front setback area if the top two feet is constructed of material that is at least 50 percent open work. The fence height may be a maximum six feet between the front setback line and mid-point of the lot. The fence height may be a maximum of eight feet from the mid-point of a lot to the rear property line, provided that the top two feet is constructed of a material that is at least 25 percent open (Note: lattice is 25 percent open). All vision clearance requirements per section 17.94.090 (driveways, street and alley corners) must be maintained. The finished side (side without the support) of a fence must face the neighboring property or if on a corner lot must face the street. Fence post supports may contain a decorative cap that does not exceed six inches above the maximum fence height. Fences taller than six feet in height require a building permit.

NOTE: This section is being deleted because it duplicates the building height definition and exceptions in Chapter 17.08. The height restrictions in this title must not apply to church spires, monuments, chimneys, antennas, water towers, elevator towers, mechanical equipment, and other similar rooftop appurtenances usually required to be placed above the roof level and not intended for human occupancy or the provision of additional habitable space; provided that mechanical equipment rooms and screening are set back at least ten feet from the edge of the roof and do not exceed ten feet in height. 17.94.175 - Exceptions to area requirements. For the purpose of encouraging the construction of off-street parking under or within a building rather than in rear, side, or front yards, the following exceptions to minimum lot areas must be permitted. For each ten-foot by 20-foot area to be permanently reserved and used for a parking space under or within a building, a lot area credit of 300 square feet must be permitted. Said lot area credit can be deducted from the required minimum lot area, or can be used to increase a proportional number of permitted dwelling units in motels and multi-family structures. 17.94.180 - Minor deviations. A. A minor deviation from front, side, and rear yard setbacks, lot coverage, and height requirements established in this title may be granted by the Director of Community and Economic Development in accordance with the provisions of this section. B. A minor deviation may be granted if all of the following findings are made: 1. The granting of the minor deviation is consistent with the purpose of the zone in which the property is located and the project is otherwise consistent with the requirements of said zone. 2. Because of special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning ordinance results in an undue hardship upon the applicant. 3. The minor deviation will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. 4. The minor deviation is not greater than ten percent of the requirement being deviated from. 5. The site has been posted and adjacent property owners notified 15 days prior to approval of the minor deviation. C. Any applications that are not granted a minor deviation by the Director of Community and Economic Development pursuant to this section must obtain a variance through the City's normal variance procedure as set forth in Chapter 2.52 PAMC.

Any area not zoned by the City prior to annexation must automatically upon annexation be classified and subject to the provisions, restrictions, and requirements of the zone most consistent with the City's comprehensive plan as determined by the City. 17.94.190 - Exceptions, variances and adjustments. A. Exceptions/variances (exceptions) to the stormwater development minimum requirements may be granted by the Director of Community and Economic Development following legal public notice of an application for an exception or variance, legal public notice of the Director's decision on the application, and written findings of fact that documents the Director's determination to grant an exception. The Director may grant an exception to stormwater development minimum requirements if such application imposes a severe and unexpected economic hardship. To determine whether the application imposes a severe and unexpected economic hardship on the project applicant, the applicant must provide written documentation considering the following: 1. The current (pre-project) use of the site; and 2. How the application of the minimum requirement(s) restricts the proposed use of the site compared to the restrictions that existed prior to the adoption of the minimum requirements; and 3. The possible remaining uses of the site if the exception were not granted; and 4. The uses of the site that would have been allowed prior to the adoption of the minimum requirements; and 5. A comparison of the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of the minimum requirements versus the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of requirements that existed prior to adoption of the minimum requirements; and 6. The feasibility for the owner to alter the project to apply the minimum requirements. B. The Director must consider and document with findings of fact the applicant's request. In addition the Director must determine and document the exception meets the following criteria: the exception will not increase risk to the public health and welfare, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity and/or downstream, and to the quality of waters of the state; and the exception is the least possible exception that could be granted to comply with the intent of the stormwater development minimum requirements. C. Adjustments to the minimum requirements may be granted by the Director provided that a written finding of fact is prepared, that addresses the following: 1. The adjustment provides substantially equivalent environmental protection. 2. Based on sound engineering practices, the objectives of safety, function, environmental protection and facility maintenance, are met.
