DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sue Roberds, Planning Manager DATE: August 31, 2010 RE: Conditional Use Permit- CUP 10-03 APPLICANT: Eric and Jennifer Swanson OWNER: Same LOCATION: 818 Caroline Street REQUEST: Accessory Residential Unit in an RS-7 Residential Single Family zone RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 10-03 with 4 conditions, citing 13 findings and 5 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A to this staff report. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA The subject property is located on Caroline Street between Race and Francis Streets. Nearby lots south of the site are uniform in size and dimension for the RS-7 zone. Some lots north of the site have been combined resulting in larger than standard Townsite building sites. Lots north of the site are located on the marine bluff. Structures north and west of the site are typically singe family with Office Commercial zoning and uses found east and north of the site. The Olympic Medical Center campus is located northeast of the site. Neighborhood development consists of single family homes to the north and west. An existing duplex use is situated immediately east of the property with professional medical office use largely to the east of that property to Chambers Street(one and one-half block east). Commercial uses are found along the Front Street corridor one and one-half block south of the site. The subject site measures 140' in depth by 75' in width and is approximately 10,499 square feet in area. No environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site. Primary site access is from Caroline Street, which is an improved local access street that extends west from Race Street dead ending at Eunice Street. Secondary access to the site, but main access to the proposed living area, is via the Race/Eunice Street alley, which is an improved alley. The site slopes to the west and north with an approximate 4.5% grade. The application and site maps are attached as Attachment C. The RS-7 zone is primarily a single family residential zone. Accessory residential units are allowable as a conditional use in RS-7 Zones. FConditlonaltget,e.�mit CUP 10-03 Swanson *- August 31,2�,,), , a= �*-Page 2'' AGENCY COMMENTS City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department: had no objections or comments. The Public Works and Utilities Department 1. Four (4) off street parking spaces are required as proposed. 2. Separate power and water meters are required for each unit. The Building Division of DCED 1. A building permit is required for the construction. Construction will be per IRC requirements. PUBLIC COMMENT Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on August 15, 2010, posted on the site on August 12, 2010, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on August 12, 2010. No written comments were received during the written public comment period for the proposal that ended August 30, 2010. Comprehensive Plan The 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 Plana The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies the site as being in the City's North Central Planning Area and designates the site as being Low Density Residential. The City's Comprehensive Plan policies have been reviewed with regard to the proposed application. The policies identified in Attachment B to this staff report were found to be the most relevant to the proposal. Single family and multi-family residences are legitimate components of district development. The proposal would allow for a density that is in compliance with low density residential areas. Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted in specific zones, definitions of uses, and minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property and surrounding properties as RS-7 Residential Single Family. Specific sections applicable to accessory residential development in the RS-7 zone are listed below for reference. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.10.010 states the purpose of the RS-7 Zone as "a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may also be located in this zone..." Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.08.040(A) establishes that accessory residential units are permitted in the RS-7 zone by conditional use permit. PAMC Section 17.08.010(B) defines an Accessory Residential Unit as "a dwelling unit which is incidental to a detached single family residence, is subordinate in space (i.e., fifty percent or less space than the single family residential use), and is located on the same zoning lot as the single family Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-03 Swanson August 31,2010 Page 3 residence. An accessory residential unit is served by water and electrical service that is separate from the primary residential service and has a separate address." RAMC Section 17.08.0250 defines a dwelling unit as "one or more rooms which are arranged, designed, or used as living quarters for one family only. Individual bathrooms are not necessarily provided, but complete single kitchen facilities, permanently installed, shall always be included for each dwelling unit." STAFF ANALYSIS Per PAMC 17.11.040(A), an accessory residential unit (ARU) requires a conditional use permit when proposed in a residential single family zone. An ARU may be no larger than 50% the size of the primary unit. In this case, the applicant intends to redesign an existing structure that contains a first floor garage with living quarters above into a first floor partial ARU/partial primary unit living area with the remaining primary living unit quarters upstairs. A separate garage is planned for future development. There is nothing about the site that is unusual that would prevent the proposed construction/reconstruction from being in compliance with the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Site area is more than sufficient to accomplish the proposed redesign and use. RS-7 Development Standards Analysis RS-7 Zone Develop Stds Minimum Required Proposed/Existing Lot area 7,000 sq. ft. 10,499 sq. ft.

Per PAMC 17.10.050(C), a parcel in the RS-7 zone may contain no more than 50% impervious surfaces inclusive buildings and pavement. The proposal as indicated on the site plan will not exceed 50% site coverage. Final review and approval of building plans will ensure compliance with site and lot coverage requirements. A portion of the first floor area of the structure would become the accessory residential unit (east side) with the remaining (separated) portion of the first floor containing a media room and office in association with the primary unit for a total footprint of approximately 1900 sq.ft. The primary living area would include the west portion of the ground floor and the entire second floor for a total area of 1864 sq.ft. The first floor accessory residential unit(ADU) would contain a total of 928 sq.ft. which Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-03 Swanson August 31,2010 Page 4 is 50%the area of the entire structure. Site plans submitted indicate that the required setbacks will be met. Separate utility connections for both water and electricity are required per the Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines manual. PAMC 14.40.060(D) requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each residential unit for a total of 4 off- street parking spaces. Site development will be in compliance with this requirement. A separate garage is planned for the future resulting in 6 proposed off street parking spaces. The proposal is consistent with relevant sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan. Building Statistics Current Proposed STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE A Determination of Non-Significance was issued by the City's Responsible Official on September 1, 2010,with regard to the proposal.

Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-03 Swanson August 31,2010 Page 8 ATTACHMENT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE INFORMATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Land Use Element Policy A 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. Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. Policy C 2: Residential land should be developed on the district and neighborhood concept. Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a uniform density, a healthy, viable district should be composed of residential uses of varying densities which may be augmented by subordinate and compatible uses. Single family and multi-family homes,parks and open-spaces, schools, churches, day care and residential services, home occupations, and district shopping areas are all legitimate components of district development and enhancement. A neighborhood should be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing. Housing Element Policy B 6: Adequate low and moderate income housing opportunities should be provided within the Port Angeles Planning Area. ZONING ORDINANCE The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes definitions of uses, and minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property as Residential Single Family (RS-7). The purpose and intent of the RS-7 zone is as follows: "This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may also be located in this zone" PAMC 17.96.050 (Conditional Use Permit) states that the Planning Commission may grant a conditional use permit approval which is: 1) consistent with the zone in which the proposal is located; 2) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and 3) not contrary to the public use and interest. Appropriate conditions may be made to ensure compliance with these criteria. Denial of an application may be made should the proposed use defeat the purpose of the zone by introducing incompatible, detrimental or hazardous conditions. PAMC 17.96.050 specifies procedures for the review and processing of conditional use permit applications, as follows: Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-03 Swanson August 31,2010 Page 9 17.96.050 Conditional Use Permit A. 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 which are consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue 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. B. 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. C. Purpose of a Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be 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.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sue Roberds, Planning Manager DATE: August 31, 2010 RE: Conditional Use Permit- CUP 10-03 APPLICANT: Eric and Jennifer Swanson OWNER: Same LOCATION: 818 Caroline Street REQUEST: Accessory Residential Unit in an RS-7 Residential Single Family zone RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 10-03 with 4 conditions, citing 13 findings and 5 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A to this staff report. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA The subject property is located on Caroline Street between Race and Francis Streets. Nearby lots south of the site are uniform in size and dimension for the RS-7 zone. Some lots north of the site have been combined resulting in larger than standard Townsite building sites. Lots north of the site are located on the marine bluff. Structures north and west of the site are typically singe family with Office Commercial zoning and uses found east and north of the site. The Olympic Medical Center campus is located northeast of the site. Neighborhood development consists of single family homes to the north and west. An existing duplex use is situated immediately east of the property with professional medical office use largely to the east of that property to Chambers Street(one and one-half block east). Commercial uses are found along the Front Street corridor one and one-half block south of the site. The subject site measures 140' in depth by 75' in width and is approximately 10,499 square feet in area. No environmentally sensitive areas exist on the site. Primary site access is from Caroline Street, which is an improved local access street that extends west from Race Street dead ending at Eunice Street. Secondary access to the site, but main access to the proposed living area, is via the Race/Eunice Street alley, which is an improved alley. The site slopes to the west and north with an approximate 4.5% grade. The application and site maps are attached as Attachment C. The RS-7 zone is primarily a single family residential zone. Accessory residential units are allowable as a conditional use in RS-7 Zones. Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-0*anson • August 31,2010 Page 2 AGENCY COMMENTS City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department: had no objections or comments. The Public Works and Utilities Department 1. Four(4) off street parking spaces are required as proposed. 2. Separate power and water meters are required for each unit. The Building Division of DCED 1. A building permit is required for the construction. Construction will be per IRC requirements. PUBLIC COMMENT Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on August 15, 2010, posted on the site on August 12, 2010, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on August 12, 2010. No written comments were received during the written public comment period for the proposal that ended August 30, 2010. Comprehensive Plan The 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 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies the site as being in the City's North Central Planning Area and designates the site as being Low Density Residential. The City's Comprehensive Plan policies have been reviewed with regard to the proposed application. The policies identified in Attachment B to this staff report were found to be the most relevant to the proposal. Single family and multi-family residences are legitimate components of district development. The proposal would allow for a density that is in compliance with low density residential areas. Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted in specific zones, definitions of uses, and minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property and surrounding properties as RS-7 Residential Single Family. Specific sections applicable to accessory residential development in the RS-7 zone are listed below for reference. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 17.10.010 states the purpose of the RS-7 Zone as "a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may also be located in this zone..." Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Section I7.08.040(A)establishes that accessory residential units are permitted in the RS-7 zone by conditional use permit. PAMC Section 17.08.010(B) defines an Accessory Residential Unit as "a dwelling unit which is incidental to a detached single family residence, is subordinate in space (i.e., fifty percent or less space than the single family residential use), and is located on the same zoning lot as the single family Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-00anson • August 31,2010 Page 3 residence. An accessory residential unit is served by water and electrical service that is separate from the primary residential service and has a separate address." PAMC Section 17.08.0250) defines a dwelling unit as "one or more rooms which are arranged, designed, or used as living quarters for one family only. Individual bathrooms are not necessarily provided, but complete single kitchen facilities,permanently installed, shall always be included for each dwelling unit." STAFF ANALYSIS Per PAMC 17.11.040(A), an accessory residential unit(ARU)requires a conditional use permit when proposed in a residential single family zone. An ARU may be no larger than 50%the size of the primary unit. In this case, the applicant intends to redesign an existing structure that contains a first floor garage with living quarters above into a first floor partial ARU/partial primary unit living area with the remaining primary living unit quarters upstairs. A separate garage is planned for future development. There is nothing about the site that is unusual that would prevent the proposed construction/reconstruction from being in compliance with the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Site area is more than sufficient to accomplish the proposed redesign and use. RS-7 Development Standards Analysis RS-7 Zone Develop Stds Minimum Required Proposed/Existing Lot area 7,000 sq. ft. 10,499 sq. ft. Lot width 50' Minimum 75' Setbacks - Front/Rear 20' F/20' R Minimum >20' F/20' R Side Setbacks T Minimum >7' W/ TE Lot Coverage 30% Maximum= 3,149 sf Approx 1900 sf= 19% Primary Unit Living Area 1864 sf Accessory Unit Living Area 928 sf Percentage of Primary Unit/ 50% Accessory Unit As indicated in the table above, development standards established for the RS-7 zone include proposed setbacks, lot coverage, and percentage of primary use to accessory use will be observed by the proposed development. Per PAMC 17.10.050(C), a parcel in the RS-7 zone may contain no more than 50% impervious surfaces inclusive buildings and pavement. The proposal as indicated on the site plan will not exceed 50% site coverage. Final review and approval of building plans will ensure compliance with site and lot coverage requirements. A portion of the first floor area of the structure would become the accessory residential unit(east side) with the remaining (separated)portion of the first floor containing a media room and office in association with the primary unit for a total footprint of approximately 1900 sq.ft. The primary living area would include the west portion of the ground floor and the entire second floor for a total area of 1864 sq.ft. The first floor accessory residential unit(ADU)would contain a total of 928 sq.ft. which Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-04anson • August 31,2010 Page 4 is 50%the area of the entire structure. Site plans submitted indicate that the required setbacks will be met. Separate utility connections for both water and electricity are required per the Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines manual. PAMC 14.40.060(D) requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each residential unit for a total of 4 off- street parking spaces. Site development will be in compliance with this requirement. A separate garage is planned for the future resulting in 6 proposed off street parking spaces. The proposal is consistent with relevant sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan. Building Statistics Current Proposed STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE A Determination of Non-Significance was issued by the City's Responsible Official on September 1, 2010, with regard to the proposal. This satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA).

Per 17.96.050 PAMC, the Planning Commission shall consider applications for conditional use permits as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits which are consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions are considered essential to protect the public health, safety, welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. Conditional uses shall be evaluated to determine if the characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific proposed site would defeat the purpose of the City's Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a conditional use permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the purpose of the City's zoning regulations. A development that is approved through the conditional use permit process must remain in continual compliance with specific conditions of approval or may be revoked. 8. An ARU may be no larger than 50%the size of the primary residence in the RS-7 zone. As proposed, the ARU will be 50%the size of the redesigned primary structure. 9.

Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-0*anson August 31,2010 Page 7 Conclusions: Based on the information provided in the Department of Community and Economic Development Staff Report for CUP 10-03 dated September 8, 2010, including all of the information in the public record file, comments, and testimony presented during the public hearing, the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval and listed findings, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes that: 1. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. As conditioned the proposal is consistent with requirements for approval of a conditional use permit as specified in PANIC 17.96.050, and with the requirement of a conditional use permit for an accessory residential unit in the RS-7 per PAMC 17.10.040(A) 3. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with PANIC Chapter 14.40 (Parking Ordinance). 4.

Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-O3*anson August 31,2010 Page 8 ATTACHMENT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE INFORMATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Land Use Element Policy A 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. Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. Policy C 2: Residential land should be developed on the district and neighborhood concept. Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a uniform density, a healthy, viable district should be composed of residential uses of varying densities which may be augmented by subordinate and compatible uses. Single family and multi-family homes, parks and open-spaces, schools, churches, day care and residential services, home occupations, and district shopping areas are all legitimate components of district development and enhancement. A neighborhood should be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing. Housing Element Policy B 6: Adequate low and moderate income housing opportunities should be provided within the Port Angeles Planning Area. ZONING ORDINANCE The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes definitions of uses, and minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property as Residential Single Family (RS-7). The purpose and intent of the RS-7 zone is as follows: "This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with and functionally related to a single family residential environment may also be located in this zone" PAMC 17.96.050 (Conditional Use Permit) states that the Planning Commission may grant a conditional use permit approval which is: 1) consistent with the zone in which the proposal is located; 2) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and 3) not contrary to the public use and interest. Appropriate conditions may be made to ensure compliance with these criteria. Denial of an application may be made should the proposed use defeat the purpose of the zone by introducing incompatible, detrimental or hazardous conditions. PAMC 17.96.050 specifies procedures for the review and processing of conditional use permit applications, as follows: Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-00anson • August 31,2010 Page 9 17.96.050 Conditional Use Permit A. 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 which are consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and not contrary to the public use and interest. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue 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. B. 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. C. Purpose of a Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be 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. t p/Y 705 q qj 713 02Cd 71. pp 723 +.
