Section 10 PSC PLANNED SHOPPING CENTER DISTRICT
A. Intent
The intent of a planned shopping center is to permit the estab-
lishment of retail shopping facilities that will provide goods
and services for the people to be served, minimize traffic
congestion on streets in its vicinity and which will fit the
general land -use pattern of the area to be served. The pro-
tective standards contained in this section are intended to
provide for safe and efficient use of the shopping center and
to minimize any adverse effect of the shopping center on near-
by residential property values. Submittal of a market analysis
is required in order to establish evidence of a need for a
change in the comprehensive plan and the official zoning of
Port Angeles, and to substantiate a finding that such change
will promote the general welfare of Port Angeles. It is further
intended that any financial responsibility of the developer for
work to be done on city streets bounding or giving access to
the shopping center, which responsibility arises out of pro-
visions of this ordinance, be made the subject of a contractual
agreement between the developer and the City of Port Angeles,
and that such contractual agreement may contain provisions to
effectuate any other section of this ordinance.
The type of shopping centers provided for in this
ordinance may be described as follows:
PSC -1 Neighborhood Shopping Center - provides for the sale
of daily living needs, 'convenience goods" such as foods,
drugs, hardware and personal services. It may contain 5 to
15 stores generally oriented around a supermarket on a site
of from 3 to 10 acres in size. It will usually require
approximately 5,000 to 20,000 persons living close to the
shopping center to support it.
PSC -2 Community Shopping Center - provides in addition to
nconvenience goods" a wider range of facilities for the
sale of "shopping goods" such as apparel and furniture, as
well as banking and professional services and recreation.
It may contain 20 to 40 stores generally oriented around a
junior department or variety store on a site of from 10 to
30 acres in size. It requires approximately 20,000 to
100,000 persons located within a short driving time from
the shopping center to support it.
B. General Regulations
1. There shall be two types of PSC Districts:
33
PSC -1 Planned Neighborhood Shopping Center District
PSC -2 Planned Community Shopping Center District
PSC -1 and PSC -2 Districts may be established only upon land
held in single ownership or unified control, and which land
contains no dedication of public streets or alleys, except
streets which may be deemed necessary by the City for the
movement of vehicular traffic which has both its origin and
destination outside the PSC Districts, and except any right -
of -way for public utility purpose. In the event that a
vacation of streets, alleys or plats is necessary in order
to meet the requirements of this section, a proper petition
for such vacation shall be filed with the City on or before
the date of filing of the request for PSC District zoning.
In the event that such vacation be approved by the City vaca-
tion ordinance shall be passed on the same date as the ordi-
nance establishing the PSC District zoning. Rededication of
such vacated streets or alleys and replatting of property to
be done in the event that the proposed shopping center is not
constructed, may be provided for in a contractual agreement
between the developer and the City.
2. Area requirements for PSC Districts are as follows:
District
PSC -1
PSC -2
Minimum Maximum
3 acres
10 acres
10 acres
30 acres
No offstreet parking areas may extend into an adjoining District.
3. Offstreet parking shall be provided as required in Article
V and Ordinance No. 1588
4. A PSC -1 District shall not be established upon a tract of
land which would contain a nonconforming use after the passage
of such amendment to the Zoning Resolution unless the develop-
ment plan for the tract includes the elimination of the non-
conforming use.
5. The location of a PSC- -1 District shall have an acceptable
relationship to the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. A recom-
mendation to the City Council shall be made by the Planning
Commission after receiving a report and recommendations from the
City Engineer. For this purpose the petitioner shall submit to
the Planning Commission a traffic circulation plan showing the
adequacy of the streets providing access to the shopping center
to carry the traffic generated by the shopping center, proper
methods of ingress and egress to and from the center, necessary
acceleration and decleration lanes and necessary traffic control
devices, including channelization.
34
6. The petitioner or developer shall be required to pay the
cost of the construction and /or installation of the following
facilities on the streets providing access to the shopping
center which may be necessary to control traffic generated by
the shopping center: (a) street widening; (b) ingress and
egress driveways; (c) acceleration and deceleration lanes;
(d) traffic control devices and signs, including channeliza-
tion. The standard for determining the extent of the developer's
financial responsibility for traffic control construction shall
be the predictable increment of traffic on the streets providing
access to the center caused by the shopping center over the
normal peak load under the existing zoning, estimated for the
time of completion and maximum use of the shopping center. To
the extent that the developer is found to be responsible for
traffic control construction, such responsibility shall be made
the subject of a contractual agreement between the developer
and the City. In all PSC Districts the developer shall be re-
quired to construct proper ingress and egress driveways to the
shopping center and street curbing as recommended by the City
Engineer. The length of time the developer may be held respon-
sible for further traffic control construction shall be speci-
fied in such contractual agreements, and such contract, or a
separate contract, may contain provision for other street con-
struction to be done by the developer as may be agreed between
the developer and the City.
7. The petitioner shall submit to the Planning Commission a
preliminary develpment plan for the shopping center showing a
unified and organized arrangement of buildings, offstreet
parking, internal traffic circulation and service facilities
which will be feasible for the property on which the center is
proposed and which planned development shall minimize any ad-
verse effect of the center on the properties surrounding the
proposed development, and must contain information showing
compliance with the requirements of this ordinance and all
other applicable city ordinances.
8. The applicant shall submit a market analysis, acceptable
to the City Council and the Planning Commission, which shall
serve as a guide to the City Council and the Planning Com-
mission for the evaluation of the application in terms of (1)
the need or desirability in the public interest, to change
the comprehensive zoning plan; (2) the amount of land included
in the rezoning application which can be realistically support-
ed and needed in commercial use; (3) a finding that the pro-
posed development will promote the general welfare of the City.
For these purposes, the market analysis shall contain the
following elements:
a. The trade area of the proposed shopping center;
b. Trade area population, present and future;
c. Effective buying power in the trade area;
d. Net potential customer buying power for stores in the
•
.1
proposed shopping center;
e. Residue of buying power to be expended in existing shop-
ping centers or commercial areas serving the trade area.
Prior to the submittal of the proposed rezoning to a PSC District,
the developer shall submit all evidence deemed necessary by the
Planning Commission regarding the ability of the developer to
undertake the proposed project.
9. No building permit shall be issued for any structure in a
PSC District until the final site development plan for the
entire District has been approved by the Planning Commission
and the City Attorney, as complying with the regulations and
requirements of this ordinance and all other applicable City
ordinances; nor until the developer and the City have enter-
ed into a contractual agreement as stated in subsections here-
of, concerning the rededication of such vacated streets and /or
alleys, the replatting of property in the event the proposed
shopping center is not constructed, and the proposed traffic
control construction and, further, said agreement may contain
a provision requiring the developer to post a good and suffi-
cient bond running to the City with two or more sureties or
with a surety company licensed to do business in the State
of Washington as security in an amount agtal to the estimated
cost of the street and utility development in the project,
conditioned that the developer shall faithfully perform all
the provisions of said contract concerning the development
of the streets and utilities in the project and shall save
the City free and harmless from all loss and damage occasioned
to any person or property as a result of the developer per-
forming said provisions of said contract.
No change shall be made in the final site development plan
during the course of construction pursuant thereto, without
first obtaining the prior approval of the Planning Commission
and the City Attorney. Copies of the approved final site
development plan shall be kept on file in the City Engineer's
office, and any changes which may be approved shall be noted
thereon. Procedures for filing and approval of construction
plans for buildings, structures and other improvements
shall be as now required under the City ordinance and pro-
cedure requirements.
10. Within 18 months from the effective date of the ordinance
establishing a PSC District a building pf:rmit shall be secured
and construction shall begin in accordance with the approved
final site development plan. Application may be made to the
Planning Commission for not more than one (1) year extension
of the time limit for commencement of construction. In the
event that construction is not started within the specified
time limits, the Planning Commission shall review the zoning

Section 3 Rules for Interpreting Zoning Boundaries
When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zones as in-
dicated on the official zoning map, the following rules shall
apply:
a. Boundaries shown on the zoning map as approximately
following the center line of streets, alleys, highways
or site limits shall be construed as following such
center lines and city limits.
b. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map
shall be determined by applying the scale of the map.
c. Where a zone boundary line parallel, or approximately
parallel, to a street divides a lot or property in single
ownership having street frontage in a less restrictive
zone, the provisions applicable to the less restrictive
may be extended to the entire lot, but in no case for a
distance of more than twenty -five (25) feet. Where such
zone boundary line divides a lot having street frontage
only in a more restrictive zone, the provisions of these
Regulations covering the more restrictive portion of such
lot shall extend to the entire lot.
d. Where a zone boundary line divides a lot of single owner-
ship and such line is a right angles or approximately at
right angles to the street, highway or place upon which
said lot fronts, the provisions of these Regulations
applicable in the less restrictively zoned portion of
the lot may be extended to the entire lot or for a dis-
tance of twenty -five (25) feet from such zone boundary
line, whichever is the lesser distance.
e. Where a zone boundary line, as indicated on the zoning
map, follows the top or bottom of a bluff or bank, such
line shall be at the point which is the average grade
of the slope for the bank and top, or bottom, as determin-
ed by the City Engineer.
Section 4 Sub - Standard Lots, Recorded Lots
When a lot has less than the minimum required area, width or
depth in any zoning district, and said lot was of record on
the effective date of these Zoning Regulations, such lot shall
be deemed to have complied with the minimum required lot area,
width or depth in such zoning district.

JI
A legal building, structure may be permitted on said lot of
record providing it meets all front, side and rear yard
requirements.
Section 5 Conditional Use Permit
The Planning Commission shall consider all applications for
Conditional Use Permits and may grant said permits for such
uses as by these regulations are required to be reviewed and
which can be permitted only upon the granting of a Conditional
Use Permit. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a
Conditional Use Permit if the characteristics of the intended
use as related to the specific proposed site are such as
would defeat the purpose of these Zoning Regulations by intro-
ducing incompatible, detrimental or hazardous conditions.
In each application the Planning Commission may impose what-
ever restrictions or conditions it considers essential to
protect the public health, safety and welfare, and to pre-
vent depreciation of neighboring property.
Purpose of a Conditional Use Permit
The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be to assure
that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall
be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be main-
tained with respect to the particular use of the particular
site and in consideration of other existing and potential
uses within the general area in which such use is to be
located.
Section 6 Variance & Decisions of Building Inspector
The Planning Commission shall consider written petitions for
temporary uses, variances from area, height and space require-
ments in zoning regulations, to consider appeals from decisions
of the Building Inspector and to grant or deny said petitions.
Requests for decisions by the Planning Commission shall follow
this procedure:
1. Application shall be in writing on forms provided by
the Building Inspector.
2. Applications shall be submitted to the chairman of the
Planning Commission.
3. The Planning Commission shall fix a date of hearing on
each application and shall at least ten (10) days prior
to such date of hearing cause to be posted in conspicuous
places within 400 feet of the proposed conditional use

or variance a minimum of two (2) placards containing a
notice advising the public of the proposed conditional
use or variance and the time and place of the hearing.
4. The owners of property within 400 feet of the property
on which it is proposed to establish the conditional use
or variance may, not later than the day prior to the
hearing, file with the City Clerk a written protest
which must contain the legal description of the property
owned by each protestant, and the City Clerk shall on
the same day advise the Chairman of the Planning Commis-
sion of the protests so filed.
In considering any petition for variances and temporary uses,
the members of the Planning Commission shall consider and
shall base their decisions upon the following standards:
1. That the granting of this request will not cause deprecia-
tion of surrounding property.
2. That the denial of this request will not cause an unneces-
sary hardship that is beyond the control of the petitioner.
3. That this request, if granted, will be in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of a variance shall be to prevent discrimination.
No variance shall be granted which would have the effect of
granting a special privilege not shared by other property in
the same vicinity and zoning district.
Required Showing for a Variance
The City Council may not approve a request for variance unless
three or more of the following criteria can be shown to exist:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the
subject property, including size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings,the strict application of these
regulations is found to deprive the subject property of
rights and privileges enjoyed by other properties in the
same vicinity and zoning district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety or general wel-
fare or injurious to the property or improvements in the
vicinity and the zoning district which subject property
is situated.
3. That the denial of the variance will cause an unnecessary
hardship that is beyond the control of the petitioner.
