PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT HEARING - HOPPER.
Request to consider a proposed Planned Residential
Development on approximately 4.84 acres. Location:
Between 14th and 16th Streets, approximately 820
feet west of "N" Street and immediately east of
Kedter Woods. (Continued from .January 13, 1982.)
Chairman Anderson opened the public hearing.
Louie Torres said he believes a PRD is an appropriate use,
and the particular proposal meets the intent of the PRD
Ordinance. He then exhibited several slides.
John Jones, Transamerica Title, explained that single-
family home values do not decrease when condominiums are
located adjacent to them, according to inqui:.ries_he roael.e.
Mr.~ennett a~keaif the increases were in line with what
might be expected in residential developments not adjacent
to condominiums. Mr. Jones replied that his survey did not
examine that issue. Mr. Torres distributed and read some
of the valuation data.
Mr. Torres stated that condominiums are an efficient use of
land, conserving of resources and energy, and less costly.
This type of development provides a greater tax benefit to
the City. Mr. Torres briefly discussed .perpetual mainten-
ance of the PRD, exhibited the model, and reviewed the build-
ing locations.
Jack Olson, Clark & Associates, reviewed the utility re-
quirements of the Subdivision Regulations and explained how
the applicant intended to comply.
Gloria Tweeter read a letter from her husband and distributed
several photos.

Tom Sparks exhibited slides of the area and said the project
would cause pressure for construction of a commercial area
in the neighborhood to serve the increased number of resi-
dents; and traffic impacts would be greatly increased. He
considers the most appropriate use of the land to be for
single-family residences.
Mr. Downie asked how much traffic would be generated by the
proposed project; and Mr. Carr said he would prepare some
information. Stu Kedish said although the immediate area
does not now have multi-family development, there are
trailer parks, the Airport and Industrial Park close by.
The proposed density. is too high.
Ed Madden, 1414 Pacific Vista, said there is presently a
13% vacancy rate in Port Angeles. Lois Soderquist, 1323
Samara Drive, read an article from the February 10th Daily
News regarding availability of housing locally. Sarah Jarvis
did not want an apartment building across the street.
.
Betty Judd said because the Fire Department is more than
three miles away, her insurance company was concerned about
the distance. with the existing trailer parks and indus-
trial uses in the area, the property is not appropriate for
multi-family development.
Ken Williams, attorney, suggested that the project should
have an. EIS. The need for the project is not apparent; and
there is no change in circumstances to support the rezone
request.
Vern Bennett read exerpts from two publications on small
town planning and zoning; and said the proposed project is
not a compatible use. Chairman Anderson closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Brewer moved to continue this hearing until March 10th.
Mr. Ranta seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
[A five-minute recess was taken.]
.
CONDITIONAL USE HEARING - CLALLAM COUNTY. Request for
a Conditional Use Permit to establish and operate a
day treatment facility for the mentally ill.. Location:
East Third and South Francis, west of the Veteran1s Cen-
ter. (Continued from January 1), 1982.)
Mr. VanHemert distributed revised site plan, and reviewed the
Department Report. He then distributed 2 petitions against
this proposal which had been received just at the start of
the meeting. He further explained that the Commission should
first determine whether or not the proposed use would be com-
patible in the RS-7 District.

Mr. Downie asked if any similar activities existed in resi-
dential districts at this time; and was told that the pro-
posal differs from other established institutional uses.
Mr. Downie felt that a positive interpretation of compati-
bility would open the door for many similar uses to request
permits. Mr. Wight agreed, adding that no difference would
be made between facilities operated by a public agency or a
private individual.
Mr. wight moved to find the proposed use incompatible In the
RS-7 Zone, citing the following findings:
1. It is an out-patient type of facility which resembles
an office commercial type of use.
2. Neither residential district allows such a use as
either permitted or conditional.
3. A rezone request would be more appropriate than a
conditional use permit.
4. If such a use were found to be compatible in a resi-
dential zone, all residential areas would be subject
to similar requests.
Mr. Brewer seconded this motion, which passed unanimously.
REZONE HEARING - ELlA. Request to rezone 8.75 acres
from RS-9 (Single-Family Residential) to RMF (Residen-
.tial Multi-Family). Location: Midway between "M" and
"N" Streets, and lying between 12th and 14th Streets.
(Continued from January 13, 1982.)
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT HEARING - ELlA. Request
to consider a Planned Residential Development on approxi-
mately 8.75 acres. Location: Midway between "M" and
"N" Streets, and lying between 12th and 14th Streets.
(Continued from January 13, 1~82.)
Mr. Downie moved to continue both these matters until March
10th. Mr. Ranta seconded the motion, which passed unani-
mously.
CONDITIONAL USE HEARING - SEAFARMS, INC. Application
for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a freezing
and cold storage facility for seafood, meats and vege-
tables in an existing 9,250 square-foot warehouse.

Gary Engman said he had met with the neighbors and ad-
dressed their concerns. He explained the type of opera-
tion which would occur on the site, including the number
of employees (5 to 15) and hours of operation (8 AM to 5
or 6 PM), with some truck loading and unloading before
and/or after those hours. During the peak season, the
hours would be from 4 AM to 10 PM. The trucks would en-
ter from Highway 101 and there would be no travel through
the residential areas. There will be moderate processing
of fish, not just storage.
Mr. Downie asked about alternative locations. Mr. Engman
replied that a waterfront site would require new, costly
construction. The proposed structure is available at a
reasonable price. Mr. Downie asked if the applicant would
comply with off-street parking requirements and buffering.
Mr. Engman stated that he intended to have a graveled
parking lot. Mr. Downie then asked if the Department's
evaluation had changed as a result of the information
elicited; and was told no; that the proposed use was manu-
facturing rather than commercial, and was better sited in
an M-l District.
.
Mr. Downie moved to recommend approval of the Conditional
Use Permit, subject to the following conditions:
1. The parking area located on Lots 6, 7 and 8, Block 8,
be paved and brought up to City standards.
2. Modifications of the building to comply with the
Fire Code.
3. Landscaping, or other artificial barriers, to be de-
termined at the time of the building permits, to miti-
gate the impact of the hours of operation on the neigh-
borhood.
As findings for his recommendation, Mr. Downie cited the
following:
A. Such business operation should be encouraged.
B. Granting the permit will be for the public good.
C. The operation will increase employment in the City.
D. There appears to be no neighborhood opposition to
this proposal.
.
Mr. Brewer seconded this motion, and on call for the ques-
tion, the motion passed 6 - 1, with Mrs. Thompson voting
"no", because the proposed use appears to be manufacturing,
and could create an increased impact on the neighborhood.
