DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DATE: December 9, 2011 TO: Chair Reiss and Planning Commissioners FROM: Sue Roberds, Planning Manager SUBJ: Conditional Use Permit — CUP 11-03 Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Following discussion with the Lower Elwha Mallam Tribe and Elwha River Casino representatives and subject property owner to permit two off site directional signs at 2917 Edgewood Drive, negotiation between the parties has continued such that it was determined only one of the applications should be considered at this time. Two permits were submitted in order to be able to consider the locations separately for expediency reasons such as has occurred. The applicants are requesting that the sign proposed to replace the smaller, existing sign located at the corner of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood be replaced with the sign proposed in CUP 11-03. The staff report written for the two signs is still relevant regarding site information and proposal, and it is suggested that it be used for consideration of the proposals. However, the attached conditions, findings, and conclusions are specifically relevant to the single proposal, and staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt same in the event it is determined to approve the sign. Since a public hearing was scheduled for the two applications, it is also required that the second application (CUP 11-04) be continued to a future meeting. Unless LEKT staff request an alternate meeting date, staff would recommend that matter be continued to the January 11 th regular meeting. Procedure would then be that the Chair (1) open the public hearing for both applications, as noted on the agenda — noting that the matter under specific discussion will be to consider only one of the applications this evening; (2) conduct the public hearing and discussion; and (3) act on CUP 11-03; and (4) someone should motion to continue CUP 11-04 to January 11, 2012.

Signs shall be placed entirely on private property as is described in the application materials and shall not interfere with ingress/egress to said private property. Findings: A conditional use permit application (CUP 11-03) was submitted to the City of Port Angeles by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (LEKT) and Elwha River Casino representatives on November 14, 2011 to place an off site directional sign on property zoned Industrial Heavy (IH). The sign structure is intended to provide direction to the Lower Elwha River Casino and is planned to be 10' x 10' in size with a sign area (double sided) of approximately 24 sq.ft. Sign location is at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood Drive, 2917 Edgewood Drive. 2. The subject property is owned by A2Z Enterprises. A2Z Enterprises representative Dan Morrison signed the application acknowledging the submittal. 3. The site is located at the southwest City limits in the Southwest Planning Area of the City. Properties within the City limits in the area include the Port Angeles International Airport and small industrial complex buildings north and northeast of the site. Residential uses south and west of the site are located in the County. A residence exists immediately adjacent to the site (east) that is owned by a business partner of the subject property owner. Properties in the area are suburban in use and design and are much larger than standard City lots. 4. The subject property is approximately 80 acres in area with dimensions of approximately 2500+ lineal feet (east/west) x 1390 lineal feet (north/south). Minimum lot area in the IH zone is 7,000 square feet in area. Section 17.34.010 Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Purpose reads " This is the least restrictive industrial zone intended to be the area that 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 Conditions, findings, and conclusions CUP I1-03 Page 2 industrial itses with direct access to me or transportation facilities, design standards for greater truck h crffic, and buffers for non industrial itses unless deemed impractical. " 5. Section 14.36.070(4) PAMC states "One off -premise sign containing a commercial message unrelated to any use or activity of the property on which the sign is located, including billboards and other outdoor advertising signs not exceeding three hundred (300) square feet in total sign area and thirty-five (35) feet in height, may be permitted on any site that does not contain any sign for businesses located on said site, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No billboard or other off -premise outdoor advertising sign shall be located within 1, 000 feet of another such sign that is on the same side of the street. " 6. Section 17.34.040 PAMC outlines conditional uses that may be considered in the Industrial Heavy zone. Subsection "G" allows "Offpremise outdoor advertising signs" while Subsection "L" allows "Other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" by conditional use permit. 7. Section 17.96.050 (A) PAMC Conditional Use Permit reads "The Planning Commission shall consider applications for Conditional Use Permits of uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits that 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 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 introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. 17.96.050(B) PAMC reads "In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. " 17.96.050(C) PAMC reads "The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility bettiveen uses shall be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained ivith 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 " 8. The proposal will allow an off site free standing advertising sign in the Industrial Heavy zone. The member of off site signs in the IH zone is restricted by a placement distance of 1,000 feet between such signs. No signs currently exist on the subject property that most recently supported a sprint boat race event. 9. Application materials indicate that the directional sign will be indirectly lit and will contain directional information to the Elwha River Casino. Total sign area is noted as being 100 square feet. Sign area is measured as being the sign face plus any recognizable logos or commercial wording. Conditions, findings, and conclusions CUP 11-03 Page 3 10. The Elwha River Casino is not located in the City limits, but is located on Tribal land. A directional sign to the Lower Elwha Klallam Reservation has existed at the southwest corner of the City limits, on the subject property for many years. With construction of the Elwha River Casino, it is desired to be able to direct travelers from Highway 101 or from within the City to the Casino location with some success such that travelers do not wander throughout residential areas without direction. The proposed location will legally permit a previously nonconforming sign use at that location. 11. Public notification of pending conditional use permit applications is required per Section 17.96.070 PAMC. The site was posted and notice sent to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the site by U.S. Mail on November 17, 2011. Public notice was provided in the Peninsula Daily News on November 20, 2011. No written comment has been received as a result of the public notification process. 12. The application was reviewed with respect to the Goals, Policies, and Objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. The site is designated as Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Goals and policies specific to directional signage are not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. However, the entire Comprehensive Plan was reviewed with regard to the proposal. The Goals and Policies found in Attachirnent "C" to this staff report were found to be relevant to the proposal. Conclusions: A. The application was processed according to Section 17.96 PAMC for conditional use permits. As conditioned, the proposal is in compliance with Section 17.34.040(G) PAMC that allows off premise advertising signs in the Industrial Heavy zone by conditional use permit. Approval is in compliance with Title 17 (Zoning) PAMC. B. As conditioned, the sign placement provides for the public interest, welfare, and safety and does not introduce incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions to the general area.

The site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood Drive. Appeal of this decision must be made within 14 days of this notice that is dated December 20, 2011, to the City of Port Angeles Department of Community and Economic Development. For further information, please contact Sue Roberds, Planning Manager, Department of Community & Economic Development, 321 East Fifth Street, Port Angeles, Washington, (360) 417-4750. Pub: 12/25/11 E Planning Commission Minutes December 14, 2011 Page 7 0 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS CUP I1-03 AND 11-04 LOWER ELWHA KLALLAM TRIBE — 2917 EdIZewood Drive: Request to allow (2) free standing off site directional signs in the IH Industrial Heavy zone. Planning Manager Sue Roberds stated that two conditional use permits were submitted for two off site directional free standing signs on a property zoned Industrial Heavy. The applications were submitted by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (LEKT) for property owned by A2Z Enterprises. The applications are essentially exactly the same, e.g., size, informational content, design, with the exception of where they are placed on the site and one sign is single sided. Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-03 is for a double sided sign at the northeast corner of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood Drive that will replace a very outdated minimally done wooden sign that has existed at that location for many years. Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-04 is a new sign to be located at the intersection of Dry Creek Road and Edgewood Drive to direct travelers to the Lower Elwha Road location. At this time, the applicants, with knowledge of the property owner, would like to proceed only with application CUP 11-04 to allow time for further negotiation with the property owner as to the property owner's signage needs. Planner Roberds asked that the public hearing for Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-04 be continued to January 11, 2012. Chair Reiss opened the public hearing. Carol Brown, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, 2861 Lower Elwha Road stated that staff had done a thorough job describing the proposed use and asked that Conditional Use Permit CUP 11- 03 be approved and that CUP 11-04 be continued to allow further negotiation with the property owner. She noted that the free standing proposed under CUP 11-03 is much more aesthetically pleasing than the existing sign. The sign area. on the 100 sq.ft. structure is 24.6 sq. ft. Jackson Smart, 472 Mt. Pleasant Road stated that the sign area contains directional information to the Lower Elwha River Casino but does not contain changeable advertising information of a commercial nature. There being no further testimony, Chair Reiss closed the public hearing. Commissioner Matthews moved to continue Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-04 to January 11, 2012. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion which passed 5 — 0. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding how sign area is calculated. Staff pointed out that the Industrial Heavy (IH) zone allows up to 300 square feet of off site advertising signage. The proposed sign structure is 100 square feet per side with sign area of 24.6 square feet per side, as testified by the applicant. No matter how the sign area is measured, it doesn't exceed the off site signage permitted in the IH zone. Chair Reiss discussed the sign definitions in Section 14.36.320 PANIC with Attorney Greenwood and Planning staff. Following continued discussion, Commissioner Miller moved to approve Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-03 with the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: Planning Commission Munites December 14, 2011 Page 8 Condition -,- Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-03 is issued to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and Elwha River Casino for the installation of an off site directional sign as shown in application materials presented to the City of Port Angeles on November 14, 2011.

The sign structure is intended to provide direction to the Lower Elwha River Casino and is planned to be 10' x 10' in size with a sign area (double sided) of approximately 24 sq.ft. Sign location is at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood Drive, 2917 Edgewood Drive. 2. The subject property is owned by A2Z Enterprises. A2Z Enterprises representative Dan Morrison signed the application acknowledging the submittal. The site is located at the southwest City limits in the Southwest Planning Area of the City. Properties within the City limits in the area include the Port Angeles International Airport and small industrial complex buildings north and northeast of the site. Residential uses south and west.of the site are located in the County. A residence exists immediately adjacent to the site (east) that is owned by a business partner of the subject property owner. Properties in the area are suburban in use and design and are much larger than standard City lots. 4. The subject property is approximately 80 acres in area with dimensions of approximately 2500+ lineal feet (east/west) x 1390 lineal feet (north/south). Minimum lot area in the IH zone is 7,000 square feet in area. Section 17.34.010 Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Purpose reads " This is the least restrictive industrial zone intended to be the area that 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 Conditions, findings, and concluss • CUP 11-03 Page 2 industrial uses with direct access to major transportation facilities, design standards for greater truck traffic, and buffers for non industrial uses unless deemed impractical. " Section 14.36.070(4) PAMC states "One of sign containing a commercial message unrelated to any use or activity of the property on which the sign is located, including billboards and other outdoor advertising signs not exceeding three hundred (3 00) square feet in total sign area and thirty-five- (35) feet in height, may be permitted on any site that does not contain any sign for businesses located on said site, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No billboard or other off -premise outdoor advertising sign shall be located within 1, 000 feet of another such sign that is on the same side of the street. " 6. Section 17.34.040 PAMC outlines conditional uses that may be considered in the Industrial Heavy zone. Subsection "G" allows "Off premise outdoor advertising signs" while Subsection "L" allows "Other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" by conditional use permit. 7. Section 17.96.050 (A) PAMC Conditional Use Permit reads "The Planning Commission shall consider applications for Conditional Use Permits of uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits that 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 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 introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. 17.96.050(B) PAMC reads "In each application the Planning Commission may impose Whatever restrictions or conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. " 17.96.050(C) PAMC reads "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 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. " The proposal will allow an off site free standing advertising sign in the Industrial Heavy zone. The number of off site signs in the IH zone is restricted by a placement distance of 1,000 feet between such signs. No signs currently exist on the subject property that most recently supported a sprint boat race event. 9. Application materials indicate that the directional sign will be indirectly lit and will contain directional information to the Elwha River Casino. Total sign area is noted as being 100 square feet. Sign area is measured as being the sign face plus any recognizable logos or commercial wording. 0 Conditions, findings, and conclusions • CUP 11-03 Page 3 10. The Elwha River Casino is not located in the City limits, but is located on Tribal land. A directional sign to the Lower Elwha Klallam Reservation has existed at the southwest corner of the City limits, on the subject property for many years. With construction of the Elwha River Casino, it is desired to be able to direct travelers from Highway 101 or from within the City to the Casino location with some success such that travelers do not wander throughout residential areas without direction. The proposed location will legally permit a previously nonconforming sign use at that location. 11. Public notification of pending conditional use permit applications is required per Section 17.96.070 PAMC. The site was posted and notice sent to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the site by U.S. Mail on November 17, 2011. Public notice was provided in the Peninsula Daily News on November 20, 2011. No written comment has been received as a result of the public notification process. 12. The application was reviewed with respect to the Goals, Policies, and Objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. The site is designated as Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Goals and policies specific to directional signage are not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. However, the entire Comprehensive Plan was reviewed with regard to the proposal. The Goals and Policies found in Attachment "C" to this staff report were found to be relevant to the proposal. C.onclnsinns' A. The application was processed according to Section 17.96 PAMC for conditional use permits. As conditioned, the proposal is in compliance with Section 17.34.040(G) PAMC that allows off premise advertising signs in the Industrial Heavy zone by conditional use permit. Approval is in compliance with Title 17 (Zoning) PAMC. B. As conditioned, the sign placement provides for the public interest, welfare, and safety and does not introduce incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions to the general area. i 0 J! NGELES WASH f N GTO N, U.S.A. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sue Roberds, Planning Manager DATE: December 14, 2011 RE: Conditional Use Permit — CUP 11-03 — Lower Elwha Rd/Edgewood Drive Conditional Use Permit — CUP 11-04 — Dry Creek Rd/Edgewood Drive APPLICANT: Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe OWNER: A2Z Enterprises LOCATION: 2917 West Edgewood Drive REQUEST: Placement of off -site directional signage in the Industrial Heavy zone PROPOSAL: The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (LEKT) and Elwha River Casino have requested to place two (2) off-site directional signs on property owned by A2Z Enterprises at 2917 Edgewood Drive. RECOMMENDATION: Following the public hearing, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the conditional use permits with three (3) conditions as listed in Attachment "A" to this staff report. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: The approximately 80 acre site is located at the City's most southwest corner. The site is immediately bounded by Lower Elwha Road on the west, Edgewood Drive on the south, Port of Port Angeles Airport property on the north and northeast, and private industrial development to the east. Surrounding areas are developed for Airport uses to the north and northeast, small individual industrial uses on scattered lots exist to the east and north, and residential uses on large acreages are located south and west of the site. Site access is currently developed from Edgewood Drive. Although the site has historically been used for agricultural purposes, the site was zoned Industrial Heavy during annexation in 1985. No structures exist on the site. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: Conditional Use Permits CUP l and 04 December 14, 2011 Page 2 • The Public Works and Utilities Department reviewed the application but had no comment. The Building Division of DCED will require a building permit for construction of the signs. PUBLIC COMMENT: The sites were posted and notice sent to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the site by U.S. Mail on November 17, 2011. Public notice was provided in the Peninsula Daily News on November 20, 2011. Written comment was to have been submitted no later than December 5, 2012. No written comments were received as a result of the public notification process. ANALYSIS: The site is zoned Industrial Heavy (IH) and is located at the City's furthest southwest corner boundary. The site consists of an undeveloped property that has historically been used for agriculture purposes but was approved for recreational use through an Unclassified Use Permit in March, 2011. Dry Creek traverses the property south to north along the east property boundary. Wetlands exist on the site. Site dimensions are approximately 2500 feet in width (east/west along Edgewood Drive) and 1390 feet in depth (north/south along Lower Elwha Road). The site does not contain any structures or signage for on site activities. The proponents are requesting two off site directional free standing signs directing travelers to the Lower Elwha River Casino which is not found on a major thoroughfare. The proposal is to allow two (2) off site directional signs along the property's south boundary, which measures 2500+ lineal feet east/west. One sign is proposed at the intersection of Edgewood Drive with Dry Creek Road; the second sign is proposed to replace an existing sign at the southwest perimeter boundary of the City adjacent to Lower Elwha Road. Each sign will be less than 100 square feet in area, will be indirectly lit between dusk and dawn, with the separation between signs at approximately 2500 lineal feet. Signs will not be lit during daylight hours. Section 14.36.070(H)(4) PAMC (Sign Ordinance) allows one free standing off premise advertising sign in the Industrial Heavy zone containing a commercial message unrelated to any use or activity of the property on which the sign is located not to exceed 300 square feet in total sign area on a site that does not contain any sign for businesses located on said site subject to conditional use permit approval. Such signs must be at least 1000 feet apart. Section 17.34.040(G) (Industrial Heavy Zone) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) allows "off site advertising signage" but does not specify the number of such signs only that they be approved by conditional use permit. Given the regulations regarding signs contained in the Port Angeles Municipal Code (Sections 14.36.070 and 17.34.040) the proposal can best be reviewed under the provisions of Section 17.34.040(L) PAMC "other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" by conditional use permit. A conditional use permit is defined in Section 17.08.020(H) as "a use permitted in a zone but which requires a special degree of control to make such use consistent and compatible with other existing or permissible uses in the same zone. The total area of the two signs would not exceed the maximum area permitted in the Sign Ordinance for a single off site free standing sign in the Industrial Heavy zone under Section 14.36.070(H)(4). The signs would be separated by a distance of more than 1000 feet at 2500 Conditional Use Permits CUP 1 and 04 December 14, 2011 Page 3 9 lineal feet and will not be visible from each other or any one location. By conditional use permit, placement and use may be conditioned such that neighboring properties are not negatively impacted by the use. The signs will direct travelers to the remote location in a low impact manner that is -in the best interest of other industrial and residential uses in the area and zone. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW: A Determination of NonSignificance was issued for this proposed action on December 5, 2011 per WAC 197-11-355. This satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Attachments: A - Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions B - Application C - Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan, and Other Municipal Code Conditional Use Permits CUP 1and 04 December 14, 2011 of Page 4 ATTACHMENT "A" RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS CUP 11-03 and CUP 11-04 LOWER ELWHA KLALLAM TRIBE AND ELWHA RIVER CASINO Conditions: Conditional Use Permits CUP 11-03 and CUP 11-04 are issued to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and Elwha River Casino for the installation of two (2) off site directional signs as shown in application materials presented to the City of Port Angeles on November 14, 2011. Signs shall be constructed as is presented in the application materials and neither sign shall be larger than is shown in the application materials (10' x 10'). Subdued directional lighting may be used between dusk and dawn. Internal and/or backlighting is not permitted nor is signage that chases, blinks, flashes, etc. 2. The signs must provide direction to an ongoing use. If the use ceases, the sign(s) shall be immediately removed. Signage must be directional in nature and shall not contain event advertising. Signs shall be placed entirely on private property as is described in the application materials and shall not interfere with ingress/egress to said private property. Findings: Two conditional use permit applications (CUP 11-03 and 11-04) were submitted to the City of Port Angeles by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (LEKT) and Elwha River Casino representatives on November 14, 2011 to place two (2) off site directional signs on property zoned Industrial Heavy (IH) at 2917 Edgewood Drive. The signs are intended to provide direction to the Lower Elwha River Casino. 2. Conditional Use Permit CUP 11-03 supports an off site sign at the northeast corner of Lower Elwha Road and Edgewood Drive while CUP 11-04 supports an off-site sign on the north side of the street at the intersection of Dry Creek Road and Edgewood Drive. 3. The subject property is owned by A2Z Enterprises. A2Z Enterprises representative Dan Morrison signed the application acknowledging the submittal. 4. The site is located at the southwest City limits in the Southwest Planning Area of the City. Properties within the City limits in the area include the Port Angeles International Airport and small industrial complex buildings north and northeast of the site. Residential uses south and west of the site are located in the County. A residence exists immediately adjacent to the site (east) that is owned by a business partner of the subject property owner. Properties in the area are suburban in use and design and are much larger than standard City lots. 5. The subject property is approximately 80 acres in area with dimensions of approximately 2500+ lineal feet (east/west) x 1390 lineal feet (north/south). Minimum lot area in the IH zone is 7,000 square feet in area. Proposed sign placement is at each end of the property length along Edgewood Drive. 6. Section 17.34.010 Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Purpose reads " This is the least restrictive industrial zone intended to be the area that heavy industry could develop causing the least impact on other land uses. Significant adverse impacts can be expected Conditional Use Permits CUP 1 and 04 December 14, 2011 Page 5 • 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 non industrial uses unless deemed impractical. " 7. Section 14.36.070(4) PANIC states "One off -premise sign containing a commercial message unrelated to any use or activity of the property on which the sign is located, including billboards and other outdoor advertising signs not exceeding three hundred (300) square feet in total sign area and thirty-five (33) feet in height., may be permitted on any site that does not contain any sign,for businesses located on said site, subject to approval of'a conditional use permit. No billboard or otheroff premise outdoor advertising sign shall be located within 1, 000 feet of another such sign that is on the same side of the .street. " 8. Section 17. 34.040 PAMC outlines conditional uses that may be considered in the Industrial Heavy zone. Subsection "G" allows "Offpremise outdoor advertising signs" while Subsection "L" allows "Other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" by conditional use permit. 9. Section 17.96.050 (A) PANIC Conditional Use Permit reads "The Planning Commission shall consider applications for Conditional Use Permits of uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits that 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 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 introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. 17.96.050(B) PANIC reads "In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. " 17.96.050(C) PANIC reads "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 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. " 10. The proposal will allow an increase in the number of off site free standing advertising signs on a site from one to two signs while decreasing the permitted sign area from 300 square feet per sign to 100 square feet per sign for each sign for a total of 200 square feet of sign area. The signs will be 10 feet x 10 feet in area. The maximum height of a free standing sign in the Industrial Heavy zone could be 35 feet. The number of signs is restricted by placement distance in the Industrial Heavy zone but is restricted to one sign through the Sign Ordinance. Conditional Use Permits CUP 1 and 04 • December 14, 2011 Page 6 11. Application materials indicate that the two directional signs will be indirectly lit and will contain directional information to the Lower Elwha River Casino. 12. The Lower Elwha River Casino is not located in the City limits, but is located on Tribal land. A directional sign to the Lower Elwha Klallam Reservation has existed at the southwest corner of the City limits, on the subject property for many years. With construction of the Lower Elwha River Casino, it is desired to be able to direct travelers from Highway 101 or from within the City to the Casino location with some success such that travelers do not wander throughout residential areas without direction. The eastern proposed location is at the terminus of Dry Creek Road with Edgewood Drive to direct travel from Highway 101, a major travel corridor. The western proposed location will legally acknowledge a long standing nonconforming sign use at that location. Two signs are needed due to the half mile distance between Dry Creels Road and Lower Elwha Road. The signs cannot be viewed from one another. 13. Public notification of pending conditional use permit applications is required per Section 17.96.070 PAMC. The site was posted and notice sent to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the site by U.S. Mail on November 17, 2011. Public notice was provided in the Peninsula Daily News on November 20, 2011. No written comment has been received as a result of the public notification process. 14. The applications were reviewed with respect to the Goals, Policies, and Objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. The site is designated as Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Goals and policies specific to directional signage are not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. However, the entire Comprehensive Plan was reviewed with regard to the proposal. The Goals and Policies found in Attaclunent "C" to this staff report were found to be relevant to the proposal. C onclnsinns- A. The application was processed according to Section 17.96 PAMC for conditional use permits. As conditioned, the proposal is in compliance with Section 17.34.040(G) PAMC that allows off premise advertising signs in the Industrial Heavy zone by conditional use permit. Approval is in compliance with Title 17 (Zoning) PAMC. B. The conditional use permit provides clarity between the standards of the City's Sign Ordinance (Section 14.36 PAMC) and sign provisions of the Industrial Heavy zone (Section 17.34 PAMC) while ensuring the maximum degree of compatibility between uses and meeting the purpose of the Industrial Heavy zone Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance. C. Sign placement at each end of the one half mile length of frontage, the reduced total area of each sign, and restrictions on lighting ensure that the traveling public will be directed to the remote off site Casino location with little impact to the neighborhood in general. Sign placement provides for the public interest, welfare, and safety and does not introduce incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions to the general area. Conditional Use Permits CUP 1 and 04 December 14, 2011 Page 7 ATTACHMENT C COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES Comprehensive Plan The City's Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. Any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The site is located in the City's Southwest Planning Area. The Plan was reviewed in its entirety with regard to the proposed applications. Staff did not find specific goals, policies, or objectives relative to the placement of signage. The following goal is relative to industrial site development. Land Use Element Industrial Goal H: "To provide opportunities for industrial development in a manner, which efficiently uses the community's various attributes and natural resources, has minimal impact on the environment, contributes to the City's quality of life, and is compatible with the desired urban design of the City" Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. The Ordinance establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes definitions and minimu►n design standards for such uses. Any project proposed in the City must be consistent with specific regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property and adjacent properties as Industrial Heavy (IH). The purpose and intent of this zone is: "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.
