CUP-86 (9) 15 First Hearing Date : September 10 , 1986 Date Received : June 30 , 1986 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - A limited permission to locate a particu- lar use at a particular location, and which limited permission is required to modify the controls stipulated by these Regulations in such degrae as to assure that the particular use shall not prove detrimental to surrounding properties, shall not be in ::on- flict with the Comprehensive Plan and shall not be contrary to the public interest. 1 . APPLICANT: CITY OF PORT ANGELES OWNER: SAME 2. LEGAL DESCRIPTION : 1203 East Eighth Street encompasses an area north of the City Water Tower on Lauridsen Boulevard near Jones Street, and northwest of the Peninsula Community PlayersTheater. It is legally described as all of Block 220; Lots 4 through 9 , Block 297; and Lots 15 and 16 , Block 211 ; all in the Townsite of Port Angeles . 3. PRESENT ZONING: RS-7 District - The purpose of the RS-7 District is to create and preserve urban single-family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single-family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible atible wi P th and functionally related to a single- family residential . environment may ala- be located in this District. 4 . CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTED: The City of Port Angeles is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Fine Art Center on a four-acre site. Museums and art galleries are conditional uses in the RS-7 District. File No. CUP-86 (,O )(0 Department Report Page 2 5. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN VICINITY : The proposed site is in a single-family residential area. A City water reservoir is directly east of the proposed park- ing lot. A community theater is further east. A rest home is south and Peninsula College is further east and south. Lauridsen Boulevard is the major arterial access to the site. Nearby residents indicate that Ninth Street and the 8/9 alley are used by non-residents (College students) . There is no access to the site from the north because of the topography. 6. DEPARTMENT EVALUATION : Last year, the City of Port Angeles and the Trustees of the Esther Webster Estate signed an agreement authorizing the City of Port Angeles to operate `he late Mrs . Webster's residence as the Port Angeles F'i,.le Art Center. The residence would undergo minor modifications to permit use as an Art Center and a parking lot would be constructed. The Center is anticipated to have six exhibitions per year of art work, two of which are anticipated to be major northwest artists. There also may be live fine art programs including theater, music, poetry, literature , and art lectures as feasible. The maximum capacity of the building is 83 people. The Center would be open to the public Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 11 AM to 5 PM. Attendance would be on a first-come-first-served basis and would also include school children as part of their programs . The City may also use the Center occasionally as a meeting facility and for commu- nity visitors, provided that such use does not conflict with regular Center hours or activities . The building will be required to provide 34 parking spaces. The proposed layout shows four handicapped spaces adjacent to the Fine Art Center building and 25 spaces adjacent to the Water Tower between Lauridsen Boulevard and Jones +,r . 9b�i T'� -tet,tw ii �,` ,�t � i 1�^ • � � u. ..# .���5 Q +uvtitW�M..q.t 5 � is ti..��� F '�°�§��,t. . .n,1->fi d„° i. d �y ,:'�. i rt'Pf"`' �;:•., S ^ ASIN e No. CUP-86 (9) 16 Department Report Page 3 Street. Additional space for parking is available south of the designated parking lot. That area could also be used for school buses . Art galleries, museums and fine art centers are often found in parks ii. residential areas or, as in this instance, may exist in specific locations in residential areas as a result of unique circumstances. Major concerns in determining the compatability of such uses in residential areas are traffic, hours of operation, magnitude of use , noise and general i" human activity . The Planning Department met with over a dozen residents for two hours Sunday night, September 7th, at the Webster resi- dence to discuss the propos,-.Al . The group ' s major opinions were: A. They preferred that the parking lot be constructed east of the existing water tower; and B . The neighbors do not want any increase of traffic on Tones Street. They also proposed modifying the proposed parking lot design adjacent to ,Tones Street , including accessing off Lauridsen Boulevard rather than Jones Street, placing an entrance sign on Lauridsen Boulevard, providing a turn-around for the elderly, placing "No Parking" signs on Jones Street, i"a- stalling traffic diverters , and preventing access betweien the parking lot and the 8/9 alley. As a result of that meeting, the Planning and Public Works Departments designed the attached parking lot to address their concerns . The staff selected the parking lot modifica- tions rather than constructing a parking lot east of the ti �,. _ ..®e.:....�..aah�: �/;'�",',� ')'�t'n3'a Wr'�'+c M4 _ r..,.a+.c M.•ee.,+ File No. CUP-86 (9) ° Department Report Page 4 water tower, because if the parking lot were constructed east of the water tower, visitors to the Center would be more likely to park on Lauridsen, Jones , the 8/9 alley and Ninth Streets, because those spaces would be closer to the Center than the parking lot. The Planning Department presented the revised parking lot at a second neighborhood meeting September 17th. The residents liked the layout but their consensus was for the City to install "No Parking" signs on the east side of Jones Street, and some residents did not want Jones improved at all . The Public Works impartment does not .install such signs ua til there is a demonstrated need and there are no other alterna- tives . p The amount of traffic generated by the proposed Fine Art Center should not be that significant because the building is small and the days and hours of operation are limited. The access router could cause some impact upon the neighbor- hood, as expressed by the residents . The proposed parking lot layout, with the primary entrance on Boulevard, and controlled access to the Center , should funnel most traffic to Lauridsen Boulevard , an arterial , which is adequate for k� the increased use and shoula reduce use of Ninth Street and the 8/9 alley . The construction of a barrier across the existing driveway should reduce the likelihood of vehicles �I using the alley . There is ample additional land for more } parking spaces , should the Center expand or become more heavily used . The limited days and hours of operation should reduce the impact of human activity upon the neighborhood. Art shows, poetry readings, chamber music, etc. , are passive recrea- tional activities that do not normally attract boistrous, demonstrative or unruly audiences.

Use by City officials for visiting dignitaries, Council or staff meetings, is not anticipated to occur more than six times per year, nor involve more than 20 people . Such usage should also not significantly affect the residential quality of the area. The grounds for the Center will be left in a semi-natural state, similar to that of a passive park, and a:e not anticipated to generate much demand or use. 7 . DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION : The Planning Department recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and associated parking , subject to the following conditions : 1 . The parking lot layout shall be as shown in the attached site plan. Significant revisions to the layout will require a revision to the Permit. 2 . The days and hours of operation be Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 11 AM to 5 PM for the general public with occasional City use for approximately 7 meetings per year with approximately 20 people or less. Signifi- cant increases from these hours and days or other uses will require revision to the Permit. If the Commission concurs , it could cite the following as possible findings : A. The proposed Fine Art Center is located at a unique site with panoramic views and sufficient area (approxi- mately 4 acres) of naturally wooded and landscaped grounds , for existing and future parking needs to �I ,N'005r',T .�' • ' = JC P'..7".w:"'�'—`t)• Ft'+y�T+.ry.,....w-.:.u.w.lwt "ew:v. - �t p8+'F ry I,R a r 'kA,+., +l:J4i''�/-q�%ti:iSi►1:yb'Ma.e.,neyy./a.',ey'yyV*;,i•.��/��► +'�'.

Further, we would like to let it be known that we are not opposed to the Art Center per se, rather our concerns are for the hours of operation, the original intended use of the building versus the director' s stated intentions, the traffic and parking situation, along with the privacy of the neighborhood. '0 Concerns: t: 1, 1. Hours of operation. How late would this facility be open, and would there be weekend hours? The will stated that the 1' building be used for exhibits twice a year, but the hired director has stated he wants exhibits every 4 to 6 weeks, plus r other, events such as music and performing arts. He further states that he will encourage b,is and student tours. ThisA t . much activity in a residential neighborhood is not acceptable. , 2. How to keep the traffic in the parking lot and not parked on Jones St. , 9th St. or the alley between 9th and 8th? Noise of traffic and pedestrians on evenings and/or weekends is a concern. People will not use the parking lot if street L F parking .is available at less walking distance. 3. Keeping the traffic completely off of 9th St. 9th is an i uncontrolled street with two dangerous, somewhat blind intersections. One, the intersection with Chambers is "N 1 completely blind, and the other, Washington St. , is also bad. With the proposed access to the parking lot from Jones St. , in line with 9th, the traffic will use 9th, not Boulevard, as the way to major arterials. We feel very strongly that the traffic should be controlled on and off Boulevard, already an arterial, and not 9th which is a residential street. U .2't 4.

I was so anxious to get a response to you that I forgot to attach. Here is the waylaid attachment. I hope your surgery went well and that you are recovering as expected. There really isn't anyone here to ask about the signs, everyone has retired or moved on except me, and I wasn't involved 'back then" more than to record the proceedings. Times have changed for me at least, and for you. When you mentioned that so many residents use Jones, I thought maybe that played into a request for no signs because the requirement was due to neighbor concerns. Are you saying that you would not wish to see "No Parking" signs along the east side of Jones? I'm sure you realize that most of the west part of Jones has never been developed but is heavily used by yourself and others in the neighborhood. Let me know if I can offer any further information. Sincerely, Sue Roberds P.S. Mr. Geddes was just in again and in working with him, it appears that his concerns at least, would be answered by swinging the south half of the barricade toward the center of the street such that people exiting the Center would be funneled toward 91h or Lauridsen. He seems to think this would answer resident concerns. What do you think? Give me a call (417-4750) or e-mail. Sue From: ruddell@olypen.com [mailto:ruddell@olypen.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 12:28 PM To: Sue Roberds Subject: RE: Fine Arts Center Dear Sue, Thank you for your quick response. As to your question of who parks on Jones Street, everyone does. Residents (especially when in snows and those down the alley can't make the hill), Fine Arts Center patrons, the mailman eating his lunch, contractors and other service people ( since most of our homes were built in the 1940's we are in a state of perpetual remodels), and tourists taking pictures of the view. I will talk to someone at the Fine Art Center, also. About a year ago I saw a proposed parking lot drawing, but don't remember who had it. It was at the time when volunteers were beginning to clear out under the trees between the reservoir and the playhouse and there was discussion of the logic of combining the parking lots. We used to walk from our house to the Playhouse along an extension of the alley which was since blocked off and rocks placed there to discourage traffic...seems a waste now. t I apologize for mysel£..I am usually more aware of what is going on around me, but had major surgery May 6th and am just returning to normal activities. Did you mean to send an attachment with the notice and affidavit for me? As to why the "No Parking" signs never went up on Jones Street, I don't recall any discussion about that. Perhaps they didn't see a need at the time and it never happened. Thank you again, Sandy Ruddell On 07/03/2012 10:35, Sue Roberds wrote: Good Morning Sandy: Thank you for your considered response. Staff were very surprised to hear that the neighborhood notices were not received. I distinctly remember putting the stack of notices in the mailroom with the labels because there is a process to follow and an affidavit to be signed following the action. (I have included that notice and affidavit here for your information.) We looked in the mailroom after the meeting to be sure the notices hadn't been just sitting there all this time but they were gone. In the 29 years that I have worked here, this has never occurred. It is not explainable. However, the posting was in place for 1 S days and it is also very surprising that no one else saw it. It's a pretty large sign. I do understand that not everyone takes the paper anymore but we still try to use that media as a legal resort. Since there have not been any complaints during the past 26 years of operation, when we didn't hear from the neighborhood during this publication/posting period, I assumed all must have worked out well. I was very surprised. As you know, the original conditional use permit required "No Parking" signs to be placed along the east side of Jones Street but, for no known reason, those,signs were not placed. There is nothing in the record to indicate why the signs were not placed so the Commission directed that the condition be fulfilled and the signs be put up. Is it your opinion that perhaps the neighbors asked, after the original hearing, that the signs not be placed? No one recalls why the signs were not placed and engineering staff are new so have no recollection of events. Am I correct from your e-mail that some of those parking along the east side of Jones Street are not visitors to the Center but are neighborhood residents? Mr. Geddes indicated that people he observes parking on Jones Street are visitors to the Center who shouldn't be using the street for parking but are too "lazy to park further away." While there do appear to be other options for additional on site parking, the proposed plan was the one presented by the Center board members. I am not familiar with other options the Center may have reviewed for parking but do know that without two-way traffic, there are no other options for increasing parking alongside the west side of the reservoir. I assume you are likely acquainted with Linda Crow and Mel Rudin who represent the Center in this matter. Perhaps you could speak to them regarding why they didn't consider other site options. The Council set an appeal fee in the mid 90's following a series of"frivolous" appeals that were time consuming with real basis other than someone didn't like a decision. There is a cost to the process because it also requires mailings, notifications, and staff time. The cost was estimated to only cover those costs. The site was rezoned to Public Buildings and Parks in 1995 so the redevelopment action doesn't currently require a conditional use permit as is noted in the staff report but the Center spokespeople preferred to go through this 2 process to inform and involve the neighborhood. I hope that the reorganization results in less on street parking and better handling of on site stormwater to benefit the neighborhood. Please let me know if we can help further and if this information is helpful. Sincerely, jue Ko6erd5 Planninc,114ana-er. City of Port:Angeles P.O.

Here are a few issues/questions that have come up: 3 1)None of the seven neighbors we have talked to so far received the June 1 informational letter referred to in item#8 on page 5. Would it be possible to get a copy of that? 2) Only one person saw the posting on the directional sign at 9th and Jones (those persons most affected, living on the alley don't generally drive that way). As a result, this one neighbor is the one who informed the rest of us. To quote him he said they "were surprised beyond belief!" 3) The PDN notice was also missed. Several do not even take the paper. 4) There are 7/8 homeowners who enter their homes on the alley. Many of them use Jones Street for parking after work at night since there is a shortage. If that becomes "No Parking" it will be dificult for those who do not front on any other street, as is my situation. Several service vehicles servicing the neightborhood are also forced to use Jones St. 5) The suggestion that 9th and 8/9 alley be for local use only is a good idea. 6) Only time will tell if drivers using the new exit will follow directions. 7) We are surprised that an appeal costs $400! 8) Many of us had thought that the future parking plan was to use the city property behind the reservoir for additional parking for both the playhouse and the Fine Art Center. Perhaps it is cost- constrained? In conclusion, we all love our Fine Art Center and it has been a good neighbor. I have been a member since it's founding and none of us wants to be difficult, but we are concerned about the traffic safety issues.

MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION Port Angeles, Washington 98362 June 27, 2012 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Members Present: Doc Reiss, Amanda Anderson, David Miller, John Matthews, Duane Morris, Scott Headrick Members Absent: Tim Boyle Staff Present: Nathan West, Sue Roberds, Heidi Greenwood Public Present: Steve Zenovic, Richard Geddes, Fred Kraft, Linda Crow, Mel and Vicki Rudin PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chair Reiss opened the regular meeting at 6:00 p.m. and led the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Miller moved to approve the special meeting minutes of May 30, 2012. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris and passed 6 —0. PUBLIC HEARING: Commissioner Headrick noted that the company he works for and is a partner in did the engineering for the intended parking lot redesign. He did not have a part in that work. Upon advice from Attorney Greenwood, he recused himself from the hearing and left the room. Chair Reiss read the qualifying questions for quasi judicial proceedings to the remaining Commission members regarding Appearance of Fairness matters. No one else had any potential conflicts to report. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP 12-0-1 — FINE ARTS CENTER, 1203 East Lauridsen Boulevard: Request for revision to an off street parking lot use associated with a Fine Arts Center permitted use in the PBP Public Buildings and Parks Zone. Planning Manager Sue Roberds reviewed the staff report recommending approval of the change in the off-street parking development with 3 conditions. She noted that although the Fine Arts Center use is now a permitted use, it was originally approved through a conditional use permit process. That conditional use permit process addressed neighborhood concerns regarding parking lot access and the use of Jones Street and the 8/9 alley for access to and from the site. The reason for the extraordinary permit process at this time is due to the awareness that there were neighborhood concerns regarding access to the site and the Fine Arts Center board and City Planning Commission Minutes June 27,2012 Page 2 staff wanted to make certain the neighborhood is aware of the proposed site development changes. Chair Reiss opened the public hearing. Richard Bonine, 321 East Fifth Street, Recreation Services Manager indicated that Steve Zenovic of Zenovic and Associates Engineering and Surveying was present to answer questions. Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates Engineering and Surveying, 301 C. 6"' Street, indicated that the Fine Arts Center Board objected to the proposed staff condition (#2) that addressed final impervious generating surface area as it is too constrictive. He suggested that the wording/condition be changed to indicate that post development will not be more than pre redevelopment. He understands that the goal of the proposed condition is to limit additional stormwater runoff. He proposed wording that would limit additional runoff but would allow for more development flexibility. Commissioner Morris inquired as to whether Mr. Zenovic had evaluated pervious materials. Following question, Mr. Zenovic responded that pervious materials have not been considered but a fairly significant rain garden with tree vaults to capture stormwater is planned. Pervious pavement is high maintenance and has not been a good payoff locally. The Fine Arts Center Board hopes to keep their development options open. Commissioner Morris felt that the Fine Arts Center may be losing an opportunity to show case a low impact development that includes the proposed rain garden with perimeter plantings. The use of a rain garden is an exceptional way to deal with water runoff and the additional use of pervious pavers or concrete would be in line with what the Arts Center is trying to show case in everything they do. The variety of low impact development techniques would be an everyday display of acceptable methods to deal with pollution. Mr. Richard Geddes, 1127 E. 9"' Street is a neighbor in the immediate area. He said that the neighbors he spoke with had not received a mailed notice nor seen the legal publication in the newspaper. He was made aware of the public hearing because of the posted sign on the site. Mr Geddes stated that "people are lazy." Visitors park as close to the entrance as is possible so they won't have to walk and then when they leave, they go down the alley. The proposal will require removal of the barricade which will allow even more people to leave the site and travel down the alley. No consideration has been given to the 8/9 alley neighbors in this plan. There should not be any parking on Jones Street. Expansion of the parking lot should be to the east side of the water reservoir not on the west side of the reservoir. There is plenty of room to take out the trees and expand the parking area along the east side of the reservoir. The proposal should be denied. Access should be only to and from Lauridsen Boulevard. Fred Kraft, 1130 East 9th Street lives one house away from the site. He did not see the posting sign and was not mailed a notice of hearing. He believes that it is wise to continue to use Lauridsen Boulevard and not to encourage any use of 9th Street. He agreed with Mr. Geddes that the neighborhood was not aware of the public hearing. Shifting the access to the alley is not wise. The area experiences flooding due to sewer issues in the area. He is concerned that changes in the area topography may add to groundwater runoff in the area. If the neighborhood had fully known of this plan, he is sure the neighborhood would not agree with the use of Jones Street for parking ingress/egress. In response to a question from Chair Reiss, Mr. Kraft answered that establishment of a rain garden in the area may result in the capture of a good deal of ground water/storm water runoff. Chair Reiss asked if traffic flow or parking along Jones Street is of the most concern. Planning Commission Minutes June 27,2012 Page 3 Mr. Kraft responded that traffic flow to the Fine Arts Center along 9"' Street is his greatest concern. No parking on Jones Street would lessen his concerns because parking on Jones will increase the traffic on 9"' Street. An access from Jones will encourage people to park along Jones Street. Linda Crow, 1212 Maletti Hill, Port Angeles represented the Fine Arts Center Board. The funds to redevelop the off street parking area will come from restricted funds not from City fiends. The proposal will allow angled parking spaces that will result in many more parking spaces than are possible with the current parking arrangement. A sign will be placed to inform people that they cannot drive down the 8/9 alley from the exit. The reason for the Jones Street exit is to allow an increase in traffic flow thereby relieving some of the exiting from the most north portion of the off street parking area near the alleyway. No parking is available closer to the structure in the wooded area due to the art park at that location. The proposal will make the off-street parking site a very attractive place that will further define the art park area and will enhance the neighborhood. She had no problem with no parking on Jones Street. The major concern is to provide more parking and make the location more visible such that it enhances the entire neighborhood and Center experience. Commissioner Morris asked how often the parking lot fills up. Mrs. Crow responded that there are events 4 times a year and various functions during the year. Many people do choose to park on Jones Street. The Center is aware of the parking need and are trying to address the matter to the benefit of the neighborhood and the public. Specific signage is intended to make certain that those using the parking area use appropriate ingress/egress areas. There being no further testimony, Chair Reiss closed the public hearing. Commissioner Morris asked staff to explain the public notification process. Planning Manager Roberds indicated that a typical 18 inch x 24 inch City public notice sign was posted at the convergence of 91" Street at Jones Street. The sign was seen by Mr. Geddes and was why he knew of the public hearing. Director West added that a notice was placed in the legal section of the Peninsula Daily News, posted on the City's web site, and sent notices to property owners within 300 feet of the site. Staff cannot explain why the notices were not received by the property owners. Commissioner Morris stated that he is extremely sensitive to the need to involve the public and ensure that the public is informed of potential changes in land use issues. A continuation of this matter may be appropriate. Commissioner Anderson wondered if there would be a method of signage such that the public may not use 9"' Street when exiting the parking area. In response to Commissioner Miller, Director West indicated that staff would be in agreement with a rewording of Condition 2 if the Commission believes it is appropriate as long as no more pollutants or runoff is caused from site redevelopment. Commissioner Matthews asked if notification by mail is a requirement. Director West indicated that records indicate the mailing occurred, he could not explain why the mailing was not successful. Commissioner Matthews wondered if Jones Street is to be widened. "No Parking" signs or restricted time parking signs could be placed. Planning Manager Roberds indicated that if the proposal includes widening of the street, it would have to be brought to City standards because it is a public street. In response to Commissioner Matthews,Planning Manager Roberds said that the reason there neighborhood meetings were held when the Center was established was because the use was new to the City and particularly in a residential neighborhood. The City reached out to the neighborhood to make sure everyone in the area would know of the impending use and to be able to address concerns that were expected prior to a formal hearing process. A neighborhood 1 , Planning Commission Alinwes June 27,2012 Page d meeting was not held during the current process for a couple of reasons: the use has operated for 26 years without any complaint known to staff, and the property was rezoned in 1995 to Public Buildings and Parks where such uses are permitted. The current hearing process was in an effort to recognize the past process and try to ensure that all of those previous concerns would be addressed thus building satisfaction in the neighborhood. Chair Reiss asked staff to read a rewording of Condition 2 addressing Mr. Zenovic's earlier concern. Chair Reiss reopened the public hearing and asked Mr. Zenovic if staff's proposed rewording of Condition 2 meets his concerns previously expressed. Mr Zenovic confirmed the revision met his needs. Mr. Geddes continued to express doubts that people leaving the Center will not use the 8/9 alley if the barricades are removed. People from the College use 9'h Street and won't pay attention to signage. He didn't know why additional parking couldn't be created east of the water tower rather than along the west side of the water tower. In response to Commissioner Miller, he explained the traffic pattern of the general public using 9"' Street and the 8/9 alley and believed that the current plan would only increase such that now Fine Art Center visitors would also use 9th Street and the 8/9 alley. Chair Reiss again closed the public hearing. Commissioner Morris noted that the City has made every effort to notify the neighbors in the area of the impending action and moved to approve the conditional use permit with the following conditions, supported by the following findings and conclusions: Conditions: 1. Ingress and egress to the Fine Arts Center off-street parking area may be revised to include the use of Jones Street. Final site design shall be approved by City staff and will include low impact development standard techniques and materials to address stormwater control needs. 2. Ultimate site development runoff shall not be more than what currently exists. Landscaping shall be approved by City staff with tree vaults appropriately sized to support trees in a robust condition. Low growing groundcover should be scattered throughout the site where desired. Stormwater controls will be used including rain garden development. 3. Parking lot lighting shall be directed away from residential sites and shall be shaded or utilize similar devices to reduce impact to residential uses. Findings: 1. A conditional use permit application was submitted on May 29, 2012, for revision to Condition #1 of Conditional Use Permit CUP 86(9)16 for the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center. CUP 86(9)16 was approved for the use in 1986 with conditions addressing site activities and off street parking lot ingress/egress and design. The proposal is to redevelop the off street parking area associated with the Center use to increase the number of off street parking spaces by redesigning the parking ingress/egress point. The redeveloped off street parking lot will allow the use of Jones Street to access/exit the site and will provide stormwater handling amenities and perimeter landscaping that does not now exist. Planning Commission Minutes June 27,2012 Page.i 2. The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is located in a converted single family structure on an approximately four acre site that consists of two parcels. Six parcels contain the structure and grounds and one parcel contains the off street parking area and City water reservoir. The maximum capacity of the structure is 83 people. 3. The property was originally zoned RS-7 Residential Single Family. The RS-7 zone requires conditional use permit approval for art galleries and museums. The site was rezoned to PBP Public Buildings and Parks in 1995 due to its ownership and operation as a public building. Museums are permitted uses in the PBP. 4. "Art galleries and museums" are listed as conditional uses throughout the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The PBP zone lists only "museums." Operationally, art galleries and museums function largely the same use. It is believed that the lack of continuity in language was an oversight and the two uses should be considered the same for zoning purposes. 5. Given the degree of concern surrounding initial development of the site as a fine art center with associated off street parking visible to the adjacent neighborhood, an effort should be made to make certain that a revision to the permit conditions of approval allows for public notification and comment on that change. 5. Thirty four (34) off street parking spaces were required for the Center use at the time of development. No additional area has been added to the structure. The site currently contains 20 parking spaces in the parking lot with 4 near the building. The proposed parking lot design will increase off street parking from 20 spaces to 32 spaces in the off area with 4 handicapped spaces near the structure for a total of 36 spaces. 6. Parking lot design was approved through a series of neighborhood meetings at the time of initial approval (1986). It was determined that the use of Jones Street for ingress/egress would negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood. Condition No. 1 of permit approval required a revision to the permit if revision to the parking lot design were anticipated at a future date. No reports of on street parking or neighborhood concerns have been received by the City on this matter over the past 26 years of use. 7. The City's Parking Ordinance requires 1 tree to be spaced throughout an off street parking lot development for every group of 6 off street parking spaces created. Utility constraints prevent such spacing in this site plan without the sacrifice of several needed parking spaces. Perimeter landscaping is planned along Jones Street and east of the parking lot area. Site development must observe City standards. 8. Public notice of a public hearing was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on June 6, 2012, with the site posted and notices sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject site on June 1, 2012. The written public comment extended until June 20, 2012 with no written comment received. Public notice indicated that consideration was requested to allow use of Jones Street for ingress/egress to the site. 9. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued for the proposal on June 21, 2012. This action satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Planning Commission Minutes June 27,2012 Page 6 Conclusions: A. No public concern has been raised during the past 26 years of operation of the site as a Fine Arts Center use. The City did not receive any comments from surrounding neighbors or the general public during the public comment period for this revision request which extended from June I to June 20, 2012. It can therefore be determined that the use has not resulted a negative impact to the neighborhood or that the proposed traffic revision would not be in the public interest. B. The function of museums and art galleries is essentially the same. It can therefore be concluded that, because museums are permitted uses in the PBP zone, with rezoning of the site to PBP in 1995, the Fine Art Center use is now a permitted use rather than a conditional use. C. Redesign of the off street parking area will allow for the installation of site improvements including stormwater controls where none currently exist, and landscape features to enhance the view of the parking area from the street and surrounding residential uses. Thus, the proposed development meets the intent of the City's parking regulations found in Section 14.40 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Furthermore, utilization of Jones Street for ingress/egress to the site will result in an increase in off street parking spaces such that the use is in compliance with the City's Parking Ordinance for such activities. D. The processing of this conditional use permit revision for the proposed action is in the public interest given the degree of concern initially displayed in the development of the Fine Art Center even though subsequent site rezoning did not necessarily require such review. The revision continues the spirit of open communication that is necessary to gain the public trust in matters of land use. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Anderson and passed 6-0, Commissioner Miller moved to forward a recommendation to the Public Works & Utilities Department that: (1) Jones Street be signed for"No Parking;" (2) that Jones Street not be improved in order to discourage non resident parking, and (3) that 9t" Street be signed for "local use only." Staff noted that, although it is not possible to restrict use of a public street to resident use only, the Commission may offer recommendation on any planning issue relative to development in the City of Port Angeles. Those recommendations are not conditions,just recommendations. Director West noted that the Planning Commission may always make recommendations that will result in better planning for the City of Port Angeles to be passed along to staff for review and potential implementation. Staff will review the recommendations to determine whether they have resources to implement them and whether they meet with the goals and policies set by the City Council. Commissioner Morris seconded the motion which passed S—1. Commissioner Matthews opposed the motion because he Jones Street should be improved if it is so heavily used COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None Planning Commission Minutes Ane 27,20/2 Page 7 STAFF REPORTS None REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Anderson noted that a recent house purchase outside of the City limits has caused her the need for her resignation. She wished everyone well, and staff added a hearty thank you for her service and noted she will certainly be missed.

I assume you evaluated the proposed distance from Jones Street but the Crestwood potential conflict came up in a meeting with the neighborhood last evening. Would appreciate your thoughts on these two issues: (1) conflict with Crestwood driveway; (2) distance from Jones/Lauridsen Boulevard for driveway.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sue Roberds, Planning Manager DATE: June 27, 2012 RE: Conditional Use Permit—CUP 12-01 Port Angeles Fine Arts Center APPLICANT: City of Port Angeles Recreation Division OWNER: City of Port Angeles LOCATION: 1203 East Lauridsen Boulevard REQUEST: Revision to the Fine Arts Center parking RECOMMENDATION: Approval with a condition that revisions to the site/parking lot will result in further enhancement to the neighborhood quality of the site and will utilize low impact development standards to the greatest degree feasible. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: The site is zoned PBP Public Buildings and Parks zone. The actual site contains six parcels of land approximately four acres in area. Surrounding neighborhood (north/east/west) uses are largely single family in historic development. A City water reservoir is located on the south parcel immediately east of the parking area. The area immediately south of the parking area supports an elementary school, convalescent care facility, and an assisted living use. A community theater and Peninsula College are located within 1/4 mile of the site to the east. The site is bordered on the west by Jones Street and on the south by Lauridsen Boulevard and is currently accessed only from Lauridsen Boulevard. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department reviewed the application and had no concerns. The Public Works and Utilities Department would like to ensure that the development does not result in an increase in impervious surface and suggested that pervious sidewalk and pavers could serve in place of more traditional hard (impervious) surface coverings. Public Works staff has provided an alternative parking layout that offers some variation from the layout originally proposed but had no concern with access onto Jones Street as is proposed. Conditional Use Permit CUP 126 Fine Arts Center June 27, 2012 Page 2 The Planning Division of CED will work with the proponents to ensure that the site development closely models the City's standards for the development. PUBLIC COMMENT: Public notice of a public hearing to discuss an access revision was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on June 6, 2012, with the site posted and notices sent to property owners within 300 feet of the site on June 1, 2012. The written public comment extended until June 20, 2012 with no written comment received. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW: A Determination of NonSignificance was issued for the proposal on June 21, 2012. This action satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). BACKGROUND: The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is located in a converted single family structure on an approximately seven acre site that was donated by the late Esther Webster to be operated as a fine arts center in 1986. The property is in a unique location that provides panoramic views and contains naturally wooded, landscaped grounds. The maximum capacity of the structure is 83 people. The property was originally zoned RS-7 Residential Single Family but was rezoned to PBP Public Buildings and Parks in 1995 due to its ownership and operation as a public building. "Art galleries and museums" are conditional uses throughout the Port Angeles Municipal Code. CUP 86(9)16 was approved for the use in 1986 with the following 4 conditions. 1. The parking lot layout and landscaping shall be as shown on the site plan. Parking lot. lighting shall be directed away from the residential areas by shading or similar devices. Significant revisions to the layout will require revision to the Permit. 2. The days and hours of operation shall be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM for the general public with occasional City use for approximately 7 meetings per year with approximately 20 people or fewer. Significant increases from these hours and days or other uses will require revision to the permit. 3. The City shall install "No Parking" signs on the east side of Jones Street. 4. Jones Street will not be improved to the 28 foot width between the Boulevard and the 8/9 alley except for the installation of curb or other design elements that separate the parking lot and landscaping from the street and a barrier across the existing driveway to the Fine Art Center. Operation of the Center was expected to include 6 art exhibitions per year, with art programs, music, poetry, literature, and art lectures. The City was permitted to occasionally host meetings at the Center. The limited days and hours of operation were intended to ensure a reduced likelihood of disruption to the surrounding neighborhood, and it was expected that the passive recreational activities would not attract more boisterous gatherings. Thirty four (34) off street parking spaces were required for the Center use that includes 4 handicapped parking spaces close to the structure. Initial parking lot design was approved through a series of meetings held with the neighborhood at the time of application. A great deal of concern was expressed regarding access to the parking area and street parking in the neighborhood. Consensus was that "No Parking" signs should be placed along the east side of Jones Street and that Jones Street should not be improved because such development would Conditional Use Permit CUP 120 Fine Arts Center June 27, 2012 Page 3 result in on street parking. Jones Street could not be used either for parking or ingress/egress to the Center. Although it was predicted that traffic from the Center would be light, given the significant neighborhood concern that use of Jones Street would negatively affect the surrounding neighborhood, Condition#1 was placed on permit approval requiring permit revision if Jones Street was intended for ingress/egress to the site at a future date. Although the proposed parking lot improvements are intended to increase the number of existing off street parking spaces to 36 with 32 spaces within the "lower"parking area and 4 handicapped parking spaces on the "upper" area near the structure entrance. To accomplish this increase in off street parking spaces, it is necessary to allow ingress/egress onto Jones Street with ingress also remaining from Lauridsen Boulevard. Because the original conditional use permit did not permit use of Jones Street, the current revision is requested. Staff is not aware of any concerns expressed by the neighborhood or the general public over the past 26 years of use to indicate that operation of the Center has caused disruption to the neighborhood. An increase in use has occurred from 3 to 5 days a week but, following the rezone change in 1995, the use is permitted rather than conditional and thus no approval is necessary for that increased use which was earlier regulated through the conditional use permit process. The intent of the current process is to ensure the ability for public participation and input into the revision proposal to the parking area portion of the use as it is very visible to the surrounding neighborhood and passing traffic. Notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the site on June 1, 2012, with the site posted to indicate the proposed access change. No comments, written or verbal, were received during the public comment period. Staff must therefore assume that neighbors do not have any concerns that they wish to be addressed regarding the proposed change to Condition#1 as noted. Staff are therefore recommending that the revision be permitted to enable ingress/egress for the site as noted in the attached condition, supported by the listed findings and conclusions found in Attachment A. Attachments: A-Conditions, Findings, and Conclusions B-Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan, and Other Municipal Code C. Application J Conditional Use Permit CUP 12 Fine Arts Center June 27, 2012 Page 4 ATTACHMENT "A" RECOMMENDED CONDITION, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS Condition: 1. Ingress and egress to the Fine Arts Center off-street parking area may be revised to include the use of Jones Street. Final site design shall be approved by City staff and will include low impact development standard techniques and materials to address stormwater control needs. 2. Site development shall not increase impervious generating surface area from what now exists. Landscaping shall be approved by City staff with tree vaults appropriately sized to support trees in a robust condition. Low growing groundcover should be scattered throughout the site where desired. 3. Parking lot lighting shall be directed away from residential sites and shall be shaded or utilize similar devices to reduce impact to residential uses. Findings: 1. A conditional use permit application was submitted on May 29, 2012, for revision to Condition 41 of Conditional Use Permit CUP 86(9)16 for the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center. CUP 86(9)16 was approved for the use in 1986 with conditions addressing site activities and off street parking lot ingress/egress and design. The proposal is to redevelop the off street parking area associated with the Center use to increase the number of off street parking spaces by redesigning the parking ingress/egress point. The redeveloped off street parking lot will allow the use of Jones Street to access/exit the site and will provide stormwater handling amenities and perimeter landscaping that does not now exist. 2. The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is located in a converted single family structure on an approximately four acre site that consists of two parcels. Five parcels contains the structure and grounds and one parcel contains the off street parking area and City water reservoir. The maximum capacity of the structure is 83 people. 3. The property was originally zoned RS-7 Residential Single Family. The RS-7 zone requires conditional use permit approval for art galleries and museums. The site was rezoned to PBP Public Buildings and Parks in 1995 due to its ownership and operation as a public building. Museums are permitted uses in the PBP. 4. "Art galleries and museums" are listed as conditional uses throughout the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The PBP zone lists only"museums." Operationally, art galleries and museums function largely the same use. It is believed that the lack of continuity in language was an oversight and the two uses should be considered the same for zoning purposes. 5. Given the degree of concern surrounding initial development of the site as a fine art center with associated off street parking visible to the adjacent neighborhood, an effort should be made to make certain that a revision to the permit conditions of approval allows for public notification and comment on that change. Conditional Use Permit CUP 12 Fine Arts Center 46 0 June 27, 2012 Page 5 5. Thirty four (34) off street parking spaces were required for the Center use at the time of development. No additional area has been added to the structure. The site currently contains 20 parking spaces in the parking lot with 4 near the building. The.proposed parking lot design will increase off street parking from 20 spaces to 32 spaces in the off area with 4 handicapped spaces near the structure for a total of 36 spaces. 6. Parking lot design was approved through a series of neighborhood meetings at the time of initial approval (1986). It was determined that the use of Jones Street for ingress/egress would negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood. Condition No. 1 of permit approval required a revision to the permit if revision to the parking lot design were anticipated at a future date. No reports of on street parking or neighborhood concerns have been received by the City on this matter over the past 26 years of use. 7. The City's Parking Ordinance requires 1 tree to be spaced throughout an off street parking lot development for every group of 6 off street parking spaces created. Utility constraints prevent such spacing in this site plan without the sacrifice of several needed parking spaces. Perimeter landscaping is planned along Jones Street and east of the parking lot area. Site development must observe City standards. 8. Public notice of a public hearing was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on June 6, 2012, with the site posted and notices sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject site on June 1, 2012. The written public comment extended until June 20, 2012 with no written comment received. Public notice indicated that consideration was requested to allow use of Jones Street for ingress/egress to the site. 9. A Determination of NonSignificance was issued for the proposal on June 21, 2012. This action satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Conclusions: A. No public concern has been raised during the past 26 years of operation of the site as a Fine Arts Center use. The City did not receive any comments from surrounding neighbors or the general public during the public comment period for this revision request which extended from June 1 to June 20, 2012. It can therefore be determined that the use has not resulted a negative impact to the neighborhood or that the proposed traffic revision would not be in the public interest. B. The function of museums and art galleries is essentially the same. It can therefore be concluded that, because museums are permitted uses in the PBP zone, with rezoning of the site to PBP in 1995, the Fine Art Center use is now a permitted use rather than a conditional use. C. Redesign of the off street parking area will allow for the installation of site improvements including stormwater controls where none currently exist, and landscape features to enhance the view of the parking area from the street and surrounding residential uses. Thus, the proposed development meets the intent of the City's parking regulations found in Section 14.40 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Furthermore, utilization of Jones Street for ingress/egress to the site will result in an increase in off street parking spaces such that the use is in compliance with the City's Parking Ordinance for such activities.

To guide current and future development within the City in a manner that provides certainty to its citizens about future land use and the flexibility necessary to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future. Policies 1. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be used as a conceptual guide for determining current and long-range zoning and other land use decisions.

The area between land use designations should be considered an imprecise margin in order to provide flexibility in determining the boundary of such areas. When determining appropriate zoning designations for an area near a margin, the goals, policies and objectives of the Land Use Element should take precedence. 2. All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its appointed Commissions, Boards or Committees should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its land use map.

The plan would increase the number of off-street parking spaces from 20 to 32 as well as improve the access to and visibility of the Fine Arts Center and add significant vegetation to soften the impact of the lot and adjacent City Water Tank on the neighboring properties. When the Fine Arts Center was established in 1986,the site was zoned RS-7 and a Conditional Use Permit was needed to allow this public use in a residential zone. Since that time,the zoning has been changed to Public Building and Parks. The Department of Community and Economic Development staff has indicated that updating the existing Conditional Use Permit is appropriate since the initial use was established using that method. While a Conditional Use Permit may not strictly be required for this use under the current zoning,the Fine Arts Center Foundation is amenable to the staffs suggested approach However,we would like to request that the.City of Port Angeles waive the$500 application fee for the permit update as the improvements will be on City property and will benefit the City as a whole rather than just an individual owner. Please give me a call if you have any questions or if you need further information.
