17.7019.010 Purpose and—ititent. The purpose of the Planned Residential
Development District Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit
and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities 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.

modification, variance or waiver of the setback areas required by the underlying zonesing
diets along the exterior property lines of the PRD or of the requirements of the Shoreline
Master Program except as provided in Chapter 173 -14 WAC. For the purpose of this

32
area of the site to common usable open space, half of which must be used for recreational
purposes and none of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the exterior
property lines of the PRD. Street rights -of -way, driveways, parking lots and utility structures
shall not be counted as part of the common usable open space. Common usable open space
shall be maintained as an integral part of the site and may not be segregated as a separate

4. Public library;
5. Daycare center, pre - school, or nursery school;
6. Public or private primary or secondary school;
7. Church; provided that, for the purpose of this Chapter, "church" shall

76
these Zoning Regulations or of any other law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation of
any kind, the regulations which are most restrictive (or which impose higher standards or

Regulations, said building, structure, or use remains unlawful.
17.96.030 Rules for Interpreting Zoning Boundaries
A. When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zones as indicated on

1. Boundaries shown on the Zoning Map as approximately
following the center line of streets, alleys, highways or City limits shall be construed as
following such center lines and City limits.
2. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map shall be
determined by applying the scale of the Map.
3. 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 zone 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.
4. Where a zone boundary line divides a lot of single ownership
and such line is at right angles or approximately at right angles to the street, highway or

hazardous conditions.
B. In each application the Planning Commission or Planning Director may
impose whatever restrictions or conditions it they considers essential to protect the public

be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with respect to the
particular use of the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses
within the general area in which such use is to be located.
D. The federal Fair Housing Act requires that reasonable accommodations
be made in rules policies, practices, or services. when such accommodations may be
necessary to afford disabled people equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The
Planning Commission is therefore authorized to make accommodations in the consideration
of Conditional Use permits for group homes for disabled persons as defined in the federal
Fair Housing Act, when the Commission determines that such accommodations reasonably
may be necessary in order to comply with such act.

Commission may grant said permits which are consistent and compatible with the purpose
of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and not
contrary to the public use and interest. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue an
Unclassified Use Permit if the characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific
proposed site are such as would defeat the purpose of these Zoning Regulations by
introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions.
B. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever
restrictions or condition it considers essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare,
and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property.
C. Purpose of an Unclassified Use Permit: The purpose of an Unclassified
Use Permit shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall
be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with respect to the
particular use of the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses
within the general area in which such use is to be located.
