Ecology has approved localjurisdictions to fund Stormwater Source Control Programs using PPA grant funds. The City's expenses necessary to implement the Stormwater Source Control Program could be reimbursed fully by the PPA program, therefore, it would not be necessary to assign the annual fee to eligible businesses. The UAC members were asked to provide input on whether they recommend the approach to utilize PPA reimbursement funds to fund the City Source Control Program and allow the City to waive annual fees for eligible businesses; should City staff pursue drafting revisions to Ordinance supporting this fee-offset option to bring back to the UAC members for review and comment.

Chair September 12,2023 Port Angeles UAC Meeting Page 5 Discussion Item Mobile and Itinerate Vendors TO: Planning Commission FROM: Chloe Bonsen, Associate Planner MEETING DATE: June 26, 2024 RE: Mobile and Itinerant Vendors Municipal Code Amendment Project Summary: Chapter 17.26 RS—Retail Stands outlines what is currently permissible as a Retail Stand. Other than parking lot uses, it is the only section of code that deals specifically with vendors that are not “brick and mortar.” The general purpose of Chapter 17.26 is to allow only one particular use: the stereotypical New York hotdog stand located on a downtown sidewalk. Ultimately, the goal of the amendment is to support a more flexible, vibrant, and diverse business economy for local entrepreneurs. Proposed amendments to the code will suggest an transition of the conditional use to a licensing program permitting uses such as food trucks, itinerate vendors, mobile vendors, and other businesses on wheels. This amendment proposal will assist in educating applicants on what types of uses are allowed where and when, and help staff provide better customer service to those community members looking to start a mobile business in Port Angeles. The following linked items include the current code Chapters 17.26—Retail Stands and 5.58—Transient Merchants. Following the code sections are some background readings on what others have done and the history surrounding mobile and itinerant vendors to assist in the future discussions the Planning Commission will hold. Supportive Materials Discussion Item Temporary and Transitional Housing Director’s Determination Date: October 5, 2023 Subject: Permitting and inspection process for proposed transitional and interim supportive housing structures in the City of Port Angeles. Summary: The city of Port Angeles supports transitional and interim housing. The Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) leaves room for discretion about the procedure for establishing these types of housing, so the purpose of this document is to establish minimum standards for siting these types of housing. This determination pertains to both religious organizations and non-religious entities. Question: What is the regulatory pathway to permit Transitional and Interim housing in the City of Port Angeles that meets fire, life, and safety standards? Applicability: For purposes of this determination, only the Fire, Life, and Safety requirements contained herein apply to transitional and interim housing provided by religious organizations under RCW 36.01.290. Findings of Fact The Director of Community and Economic Development makes the following finding of fact; 1.Currently adopted codes by the city of Port Angeles do not thoroughly address the permitting process for transitional and interim housing structures. 2. Currently adopted codes by the city of Port Angeles do not adequately address fire, life, and safety standards. 3.Temporary use permits may be located in any zone; provided, required setbacks of the zone where the temporary use permit is to occur are provided to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 4.RCW 35A.21.360 requires religious organizations the allowed use of providing shelter to those experiencing homelessness on owned and managed properties. 5.Temporary use and Transitional use serve separate needs for sheltering. Definitions Transitional Housing: For purposes of this determination, a project that provides housing and supportive services to involuntarily unhoused persons or families for up to two years and that has as its purpose facilitating the movement of homeless persons and families into independent living. Transitional housing structures can be permanent if the occupancy of the structures complies with the definition in RCW 84.36.043. Interim Housing: Any premises, structures, or portion thereof used or intended to be used as a place where provisional sleeping or rooming accommodations are available on a temporary basis to persons who lack permanent housing, are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless, with or without compensation from the resident. Factory Assembled Structure: Any structure, including a factory built tiny house with or without a chassis (wheels), designed primarily for human occupancy other than a manufactured or mobile home the structure or any room of which is either entirely or substantially prefabricated or assembled at a place other than the building site where the structure will be used. See RCW 43.22.450. Encampment: For purposes of this determination, any assemblage of temporary or permanent structures that are used for occupancy, not affixed to the land permanently, and not permanently connected to fixed utilities.
