The City's budget, Capital Facilities Plan, work plan, transportation plan, and departmental performance standards are all based on and are consistent with comprehensive plan policy. The City's strategic plan also ties back to the comprehensive plan, specifically addressing how the City will implement comprehensive plan objectives over the next two years, establishing priorities for action. GMA Compliance In 1990, the Washington State Legislature enacted the State Growth Management Act (GMA), which requires all cities and counties subject to the Act to develop and adopt comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances that will regulate and guide future growth and development. In accordance with the Act, each county must also establish independent Urban Growth Areas capableof containing future growth for the next 20 years. To ensure compatibility between various comprehensive plans, the cities, county, and other affected agencies cooperatively developed a set of county -wide planning policies to guide this process. To ensure orderly development, the City of Port Angeles agreed to work with Clallam County in the development of comprehensive plan goals and policies for the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan has been developed and periodically updated to meet the requirements of the GMA and is consistent with the Clallam County -Wide Planning Policy. This 2016 update was undertaken to meet the State's GMA requirements and included a process intended to capture comments and suggestions from the broadest range of the public. Purpose of the Comprehensive Plan A City's Comprehensive Plan acts as the guiding document for land use controls. All other city plans, ordinances, and regulations must be consistent with the goals, policies, and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan. If subordinate planning or regulations, such as the City's Zoning Ordinance or Capital Facility Plan, are not consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, then those documents may be determined to be illegal and rendered invalid. Prior to the passage of the State GMA, such compliance was considered desirable but actual consistency was not required. The GMA now makes such compliance a requirement. The Comprehensive Plan is the basis upon which local governmental decisions are to be made. It sets forth the City's goals and policies and visualizes directions the City will take over the next two decades. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map illustrates the desired development pattern for the city. It is, therefore, important that the Comprehensive Plan truly reflect the goals and desires of the community. In order for that to take place, it is vital that citizens take an active role in determining the quality, context, and vision incorporated within this Comprehensive Plan. tChapter 1 - Introduction 1.2 Figure 1.01 - The 2016 update process reviewed and updated this plan's vision, as well as many of its implementing policies and objectives. (Image: Studio Cascade, Inc.) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is the foundation upon which the City's development regulations (zoning, environmentally sensitive areas protection, parking and sign codes, and subdivision ordinances) and Urban Services Standards and Guidelines Manual, Capital Facilities Plan and Urban Services and Utilities Plans are based, and from which the City's future land use pattern will come. A community is a diverse and heterogeneous grouping of people. Individually, each of us has a set of treasured values. Together, we give the community a set of shared values. In a community, individual values often clash and indeed must confront each other if the shared values of the community are to develop. Good planning uncovers the values we share as a community and uses the shared values to guide development of the Comprehensive Plan. No plan can be expected to last for all time. Times change, conditions change, and what we value in our community changes. Even though this Comprehensive Plan is intended to cover a 20- year period, the State requires it to be reviewed at least every seven years and can be amended on an annual basis as necessary. This allows the City to adjust the Comprehensive Plan as conditions, eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.3 needs, and desires of the community change. Through the ongoing development of this Comprehensive Plan, the City of Port Angeles reaffirms that it is the rightful goal of the people of our community to take an active role, sharing the work and responsibility involved in determining the character, quality, and destiny of this community. Plan Development & Public Participation The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan was initially updated from its 1976 version under the GMA in June of 1994. The City's last major update to the Comprehensive Plan was in 2016. Several minor amendments have been approved since that time. The 2016 updates reflected a citywide approach with an ambitious public participation program. The 2016 update of the Comprehensive Plan was updated to meet the requirements of the GMA. Areas of the plan that were expanded to include handling of archaeological discoveries and sites, the inclusion of low -impact stormwater management methods that more closely mimic natural processes, increased emphasis on urban forestry and landscaping and consideration of issues surrounding climatic change. The City of Port Angeles allows amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to occur on an annual basis, within limited time periods. The intent of this allowance is to address the community's destre to adjest zoning, which might also require a change in land use designation. Individual citizens or groups may propose Comprehensive Plan amendments during the three month period between January 1 and March 31 of each year. Proposed amendments require environmental review, consideration by the Planning Commission and opportunity for the public to participate, and a public hearing prior adoption by the City Council. Organization & Requirements of the Comprehensive Plan The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan is organized with an (1) Introduction, (2) a series of required and included elements., and (3) various appendixes including community profile, definition section, the Capital Facilities Plan, Housing Needs Assessment, 5 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.4 and Environmental Impact Statement. Each element addresses a particular topic and contains a general comment section and multiple goals with various related policies and objectives. Some of the elements have an associated map or plan. The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan goals are expressed as broad statements of intent that will fulfill the vision of what the city intends to become or how the city should look or feel in the future. The goals in the Comprehensive Plan are supported by policy statements that usually include the word should. The policy statements are directive, and provide a basis for decision- making and establish a principal of wise management leading to achievement of a goal. Objectives are statements of specific actions that when taken will result in the realization of a goal. The GMA requires that a comprehensive plan consist of a map or maps and descriptive text covering objectives, principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensive plan. The plan must also be an internally consistent document, with all elements made consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The Land Use Map is provided to show general uses to be located in generalized areas of the City. The plan shows six general land use categories: Low, Medium and High -Density Residential; and Commercial, Industrial, and Open Space. These general land use areas are not specifically bounded by streets, parcel lines, or other political boundaries. For purposes of this plan, they are separated by what is referred to as "imprecise margins." These, together with the land use categories, provide a framework and direction for desired development patterns, while at the same time, allow for flexibility in applying zoning designations. The GMA requires that comprehensive plans include a plan, scheme, or design for each of the following: • Land Use Element • Transportation Element • Utilities Element • Housing Element • Capital Facilities Plan Element. Additionally, comprehensive plans must contain a process for identifying and siting Essential Public Facilities. i4t 1"' Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.5 This plan contains each of the required elements as well as four additional optional elements: A Conservation Element, an Economic Development Element, a Growth Management Element and a Parks & Recreation Element. Each of the elements have been developed to be consistent with the GMA and to reflect the needs and desires of the City of Port Angeles and its citizens. Detailed minimum requirements for GMA-required elements are provided in Appendix C. eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.6 Implementing Plans' 'Ad I Departmental Plans _qq 4 " � Values AA Suharaa 11 Topical Research ,qq 11 Strategic - Plans Nq Behaviors z Qbjewws Indude programs, copltal Investments, reg4dotions, etc. Fxomples onlytmpdemenong plans may include a wide vorrety of pion types Figure 1.02 — Comprehensive plans are organized as tiered systems, expressing community desires from broad -brush ideals (vision) through specific action items the City can lead (objectives). Other types of plans are sometimes prepared to identify or help implement objectives, taking vision, goal and policy cues from the comprehensive pian. (Image: Studio Cascade, Inc.) eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.7 Use of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is designed to be used by the public as a way for citizens to learn the long-range goals and policies of the City. It is also used as a foundation upon which City officials make land use and other decisions, and as a tool which City staff uses to ensure desirable development of the City. This document provides a sense of predictability to citizens of the city or potential residents considering relocating to Port Angeles. The Plan's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS, Appendix A) is designed as a programmatic EIS and may be used as a phased reviewed environmental document for any plans, ordinances, programs, or development projects that are consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The EIS has been updated through addenda and regular State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review as amendments to the Comprehensive Plan have been periodically approved. Any project proposed in the City will have to show that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, it cannot be approved unless the Comprehensive Plan is amended and additional environmental review is completed eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.8 Community Vision The Comprehensive Plan public process with the 2016 mandated update resulted in the following vision statements for a variety of specific areas of interest to citizens, Vision statements are based on the anticipated conditions of Port Angeles in 2036. The City of Port Angeles is vibrant and prospering, nurturing a balance of innovation and tradition to create an environmentally, economically, and fiscally sustainable community, accepting and cherishing its social diversity, small-town character and natural setting. In achieving this vision, Port Angeles recognizes the important roles each of the following plays: Environment Port Angeles' natural setting — with the Strait to the north and the Olympics to the south — is unique, with creeks, wetlands, steep slopes and a weather pattern that can be demanding. The town balances the community's need for economic stability, its potential for growth and the preservation of the areas' natural systems. Economic Development Keeping the community employed, prosperous, educated, and well -served are key economic development objectives. The City of Port Angeles facilitates sustained economic growth, directing investment to revitalize activity downtown, support local employment, and keep public services affordable and of high quality. Neighborhoods Slightly more than 25,000 people call Port Angeles home in 2036, residing in neighborhoods that are safe, attractive and rich in character. Airport Fairchild International Airport is an important aviation resource for local residents and businesses, operating as an important economic development and community safety priority and with regular commercial service to SeaTac International Airport. iM_ Chapter 1 -Introduction 1.9 t Downtown Port Angeles' central business district is vital and prominent. The central commercial district is one of Port Angeles' major assets, intimately connected to the waterfront and featuring a variety of retail, civic, residential and professional office uses. Small Commercial Centers Small-scale commercial centers are located in areas convenient for nearby residents and workers, offering a modest array of goods * and services within an easy, enjoyable walk from nearby homes and employment centers. Waterfront The central waterfront is an active and successful civic and social space, equally welcoming to residents and visitors. Transportation Community Services The community's systems of housing, transportation, economic development and parks and recreation coordinate to serve all of Port Angeles' residents, ensuring public safety, economic opportunity, public health and overall community wellness. Port Angeles' transport( through and within the tion network moves people and goods to, community, harmoniously accommodating cars, bikes, trucks, public transportation, planes, boats, ferries, and travel by foot. Trails Port Angeles' trail system builds on the Olympic Discovery Trail and miles of local trails, contributing to the local quality of life by inviting community residents and visitors of all ages to wander and explore. tChapter 1 - Introduction 1.10 Parks and Recreation Leisure is an important contributor to quality of life, and Port Angeles is committed to provide a robust parks and recreation system in response. Open spaces, both constructed and natural, function to enliven the human spirit. Whether it's a small pocket park near downtown, a waterfront esplanade, a sculpture garden on the hill, or a vast sports complex, the system serves multiple community needs. The American Institute of Architects Sustainable Design Assessment Team Report Vision In 2009, the City of Port Angeles was inspired by the concept of bringing in individuals with an outside eye to review development trends and community issues. The City prepared a grant application to the American Institute of Architect's Center for Communities by Design focused on tourism and community development. The application sought a Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) to travel to Port Angeles. In March of that year five (5) team members engaged the community to learn more about local challenges and to present a series of resolutions to those issues. An intense three day planning exercise ended with thirty new recommendations for the community to pursue. Allured by the quality and respect given to the American Institute of Architects organization participation was widespread resulting in a high level of interest far beyond that of a typical planning process. Community members filled Council chambers and anxiously sought follow up to the recommendations. The City made a commitment to move forward with recommendations. Specifically the City Council sub -committee known as the Port Angeles Forward Committee assisted in getting the low hanging fruit of the plan implemented. Instead of waiting for the final report, the Committee dissected the power point presentation from the final evening meeting of the SDAT process and developed a detailed list of each specified project. Within two weeks, 10 items were moved forward to City Council for implementation. Next the City promoted an additional public meeting for members of the public to publicly rank each of the SDAT team recommendations. eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.11 Immediate items included comprehensive plan changes and policy oriented issues which shifted focus towards specific capital projects and code changes. The first ten implementation items included the introduction of 5 new items in the City Capital Facilities Plan and 5 new policy items for insertion in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Since this initial year new items from the plan have been implemented annually. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) report has become the Council endorsed vision for the City of Port Angeles. This vision complemented by the continued public input received at public meetings and engagement sessions over the last nine (9) years. The vision focuses on improving: the gateways to our community, our downtown, our primary transportation corridors and sustaining and enhancing the quality of our local environment and economy. The visions approach is: • integrative, holistic, and visual; • central to achieving a sustainable relationship between humans, the natural environment, and the place; • it gives three-dimensional form to a culture and a place; and • it achieves balance between culture, environment, and economic systems. Today the comprehensive plan acts as one of the primary implementing instruments of the AIA report. 5 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.12 Figure 1.03 — Phase II of efforts identified in the 2013 Waterfront & Transportation Improvement Plan (a subarea plan) designed, permitted and re-established a beach just west of Oak Street. The site had formerly been graded and utilized for mill operations. (Images: City of Port Angeles, Studio Cascade, Inc.) City Actions Since the 2004 Update Since the last major update of the Comprehensive Plan, several objectives have been accomplished. Those accomplishments include the replacement of both century - old trestle bridges spanning Valley Creek and Tumwater Creek on 8th Street. The bridge spanning Peabody Creek at .•...••�• Lauridsen Boulevard was replaced with a structure that will allow truck traffic to make the turn and follow Lauridsen as intended for a cross-town alternative to Highway 101. The City's landfill has been closed and converted into a regional transfer station, and work to remove waste materials that remain in the marine bluff and stabilize the bluff to prevent further adverse impacts to the shoreline is now complete. A major project to resolve long-standing issues with combined sewer/stormwater systems overflowing into the Strait of Juan de Fuca has been completed and the second project phase is underway and nearing completion. The City has followed through with the creation of new zone designations in anticipation of future annexations, especially the 5 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.13 Figure 1.04 — Phase I of efforts identified in the 2013 Waterfront & Transportation Improvement Plan designed and created a new esplanade along Railroad Avenue between Laurel and Oak streets. (Image: LMN Architects) eastern UGA. The Commercial Regional zone was created to be applied to areas along Highway 101 where existing large commercial uses such as car dealerships and large -volume stores currently exist or where land is available for such uses. A major infrastructure goal was achieved with the extension of a sewer main line to the eastern UGA. A second new zone was created for large suburban -scale residential lots. The Residential Single Family zone (RS -11), restricting residential lots to a minimum of 11,000 square feet or larger has been applied to areas within existing city limits. An Industrial Marine (IM) zone was also created to be applied to shoreline areas focusing primarily on marine trades that may need the support of commercial uses to provide a framework for mixed uses in a campus -like environment. In 2009 the City received a grant from the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The grant resulted community planning effort known as the Sustainable Design Assessment. The AIA Sustainable Design Assessment Team Report has been adopted and incorporated as an extension of the Comprehensive Plan. Implementation of the document can be found throughout the implementation chapter of this document as well as in the City's Strategic Plan. eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.14 Industrial zoning was modified to include the potential for work/live situations, where working artists requiring large work studios with industrial types of activities, are permitted to live at their studios by conditional use permit. A major planning effort was completed in 2014. The Shoreline Master Program (SMP) was approved and accepted by the Department of Ecology, completing a five-year effort that included the writing of a new Harbor Resource Management Plan, Shoreline Inventory/Characterization/Analysis Document, a Cumulative Impacts Analysis and a Shoreline Restoration Plan. The shoreline planning effort took place concurrently with several restoration projects occurring on the south shoreline of Ediz Hook. The last phase of shoreline restoration was completed during the summer months of 2016, and will result in a continuous restored shoreline from Harbor View Park on the east to Sail and Paddle Park on the west. A 358 -acre area was annexed into the City in 2005. The area is located along the south side of Highway 101, west of the city limits at that time. The area primarily consists of the Eclipse Industrial Park, accommodating several large operations, and much of the area is zoned Industrial Heavy. Portions of the annexed area along Highway 101 also include commercial and residential uses. Another major accomplishment is the construction of a Waterfront Promenade located between Oak Street and Laurel Street in the city's downtown. The promenade was the first phase of a multi- phase project planned for the downtown waterfront. The second phase, also completed, included creation of two small beach areas where hard - armored shoreline once existed west of Oak Street to the Valley Creek Estuary Park. Enhancements to the Waterfront Trail are also an integral portion of the project. Subsequent phases will improve the portion of Railroad Avenue east of Laurel Street to City Pier Park. An associated downtown project that had been anticipated for several years was also completed. This "Gateway Project" resulted in a downtown transit center and covered pavilion area for public activities. The pavilion is now used regularly for the local Farmers Market, and as a venue for various festivals. eChapter 1 - Introduction 1.15 A portion of downtown's sidewalks and water lines were replaced beginning in 2006. As part of that project, the west side of Laurel Street between First and Front was developed to preserve the last remaining portion of the "Port Angeles Underground." Regionally, a major effort involved the removal of the two dams placed on the Elwha River a century ago. This project included reconstruction of the City's water collection system and the intake for the industrial water supply. In addition, a new bridge was built spanning the river. The new bridge includes a suspended pedestrian/ bicycle segment of the Olympic Discovery Trail. The Olympic Discovery Trail between the western city limits and 18th Street was improved as the trail right-of-way and was also used for a sewer line extension to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's reservation lands. The sewer extension outside of the city was made necessary by the removal of the dams upstream from the reservation. The removal of the dams resulted in a higher ground water table, making on-site sewer drainfields unusable. The reservation is now served by City sewer facilities. In 2007, the City added a Parks & Recreation Element to the Comprehensive Plan. In 2009, the City implemented a Fa4ade and Sign Improvement Grant program to help small businesses enhance the appearance of buildings in the city. Another effort at citywide beautification was accomplished in 2014 with the passage of a Street Tree Ordinance. The passage of the ordinance resulted in the City being awarded the "Tree City USA" designation from the National Arbor Day Foundation. All of the above-mentioned projects were included in the earlier version of the Comprehensive Plan as goals, policies, or objectives. Iia i'r' Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.16 ueld anisuayaidwo:) saIaBUV Iaod 10 AID (Nuolp gal Allnuouuajul s/ abod I•Z Growth Management r.1A This Comprehensive Plan has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the State Growth Management Act (GMA). The City met all of the Act's required deadlines for compliance and participated with Clallam County (The County), the City of Forks, the City of Sequim, area Tribes and other agencies in the development of a County - Wide Planning Policy. Early in the planning process, the City agreed with the County to address only areas within the current City Limits in the Comprehensive Plan and to work with the County on a joint Comprehensive Plan for the Urban Growth Area (UGA). On April 13, 1993, the Board of Clallam County Commissioners adopted an Interim Port Angeles UGA. In 2005, the City and County entered into an interlocal agreement on a phased annexation plan for the Eastern UGA. A similar agreement was reached regarding the western UGA.

This element and its Future Land Use Map (Figure 3.01) establishes the following six comprehensive plan land use categories: • Low Density Residential • Medium Density Residential • High Density Residential • Commercial • Industrial • Open Space. These categories and their associated areas are configured in coordination with a wide range of planning considerations including population projections and a developable lands inventory, per GMA requirements. Details on these factors may be found in Appendices A and C. Together, the goal and policy framework presented in this element provides direction in realizing Port Angeles' long-range vision regarding land use - including optimizing the city's relationship with its setting; supporting safe, attractive and character- rich neighborhoods; creating a more dynamic, successful downtown; and supporting a wide range of recreational opportunities available to the entire community. Actions related to Land Use goals and policies are included in Chapter 11, Implementation. Land Use Categories These land use categories are described below and located on the Future Land Use Map. Low Density Residential (Up to 6 units per acre) The Land Use Map identifies three separate categories of residential land use. The first category is Low Density Residential, which allows an overall residential density to 6 units per acre. The high majority of residentially designated property in the City will be of this designation. It is intended primarily to accommodate single family homes. It also allows for the development of accessory residential units and duplexes in accordance with zoning regulations. Medium Density Residential (Up to 14 units per acre) This category encourages property development involving multiple residential units including but not limited to duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartments at a density no less than 4 units per acre and up to 14 units per acre. High Density Residential (Up to 40 units per acre) This category encourages development at a density no less than 10 units per acre and up to 40 units per acre. Itis intended for areas where a higher concentration of residents is compatible with the surrounding area and uses. Condominiums and apartments, are the most common types of building designs appropriate for this category. An exception is made for existing motel or hotel units converted to residential units at a density greater than 40 Units per acre). Commercial The Land Use Map contains one commercial category, thus providing maximum flexibility in the types of commercial uses allowed in permitted locations under the City's Zoning Ordinance. Industrial The Land Use Map also designates only one industrial category, thus again providing maximum in the types of industrial uses allowed in permitted locations under the City's Zoning Ordinance. 3.2 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan e Open Space The Open Space category specifies areas of the City with unique or significant physical open spaces, such as marine shorelines, bluffs, ravines, major streams, wetlands, critical wildlife habitat, and other natural areas deemed important to the community. This category also includes developed parks and recreational spaces. The development of natural open space areas should minimize degradation the remaining natural open space. Goal G -3A Chapter 3 - Land Use Element 3.3 `moi (.yuolq 41,31 Allouo.qua4u! a6od s.igl) ZW s a 0 rp m 3 O� D `c Q O x ■ Land Use Map Goals & Policies Goal G -3A To guide land development in a manner that balances providing certainty about future land use and allowing flexibility necessary to adapt to future challenges and opportunities. Policies P -3A.01 Use the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map as a conceptual guide when making all zoning and other land use decisions, including all land use decisions and approvals made by City Council and/or any of its appointed Commissions, Boards, or Committees. P -3A.02 Use low impact development techniques, where feasible in new land development. ■ Residential Goals & Policies Goal G-3113 To ensure residential land use and development is compatible with the environment with existing uses and residents, and with desired urban design. Policies P-36.01 Provide urban services to all residential areas as required by the Capital Facilities Element concurrency policy. P-38.02 Ensure that single family lots are of reasonable shape and have access provided by a collector arterial, local access street or alley. P-38.03 Require the subdivision of large lots which leaves remaining lots larger than the minimum density for the zone to allow future subdivisions at the densities permitted for the zone in which they are located. P-38.04 Design streets and circulation patterns in all new residential developments to enable fire protection and service vehicle access as key factors in street design and circulation pattern. 113-36.05 Encourage street improvements and acquisition of rights-of-way to further the grid street pattern in the central "townsite" area of the City. Permit cul-de-sacs and curvilinear streets in outlying areas subject to low impact development standards when designed in conjunction with the main street grid. eChapter 3 - Land Use Element 3.7 IJ P-36.06 Encourage residential development to preserve and capitalize on existing unique natural, historic, archaeological, and/or cultural features including promotion of native and drought tolerant vegetation and scenic views. Encourage design of new residential development that maximizes southern exposures and solar efficiency, protects from prevailing winds, and is designed to minimize energy use. P-36.07 Emphasize the overall density of the development rather than minimum lot sizes when planning new residential development. Goal G -3C To create and maintain a fulfilling and enjoyable community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential types attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests. Policies P -3C.01 Employ the district and neighborhood concept when developing residential land. Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a uniform density, the most healthy, viable districts are composed of residential uses of varying densities, and may be augmented, by other 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 residential districts P -3C.02 Ensure medium and high density housing is served by arterial streets of sufficient size in order to satisfy traffic demand and to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion. P -3C.03 Apply medium and high density housing policies to mobile home parks. P -3C.04 Treat manufactured homes that meet current state regulations as site constructed housing for zoning purposes. P -3C.05 Expand housing opportunities in the Central Business District for all income levels, with an emphasis moderately priced owner -occupied units. Commercial Goals & Policies Goal G-31) To create and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy.

P -3H.02 Develop infrastructure, which makes sites attractive and ready to develop, including transportation facilities and utilities at industrial parks. Industrial development should be encouraged to follow industrial park design concepts. P -3H.03 Ensure that industrial areas mitigate nuisances and hazardous characteristics such as noise, air, water, odor, pollution, or objectionable visual material. P -3H.04 Do not permit petroleum refineries, liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas facilities, non -clean energy facilities, energy plants and their associated facilities and associated transmission facilities (as defined in Chapter 80.50 RCW) outside the heavy industrial use area and without conditional use review. These facilities are hazardous to the community and detrimental to the general environment of the area. 3.10 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive PlanAMMI P -3H.05 Discourage the siting of land uses incompatible with airport related uses and other neighboring land uses adjacent to the William R. Fairchild International Airport P -3H.06 Allow the conditional siting of clean -energy facilities (e.g., solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tidal) outside of industrial areas. P -3H.07 Consider the climate change impacts of any proposed new industrial activity or expansion before approval. Goal G-31 To facilitate reuse of large vacant or isolated industrial areas no longer in operation to improve the local economy and employment stability. Policies P-31.01 Allow a wide range of land uses in the redevelopment of large vacant or isolated industrial areas no longer in operation, including mixed-use development, commercial development, or residential development as well as industrial uses, provided that these uses will not encourage the conversion of other industrial areas to non -industrial use. ■ Open Space Goals & Policies Goal G -3J To create open space within the urban landscape, retain natural landscapes, preserve fish and wildlife habitat, and to provide natural corridors connecting wildlife habitats.

The results of the 2006 study and public input provided during the 2016 update process, and 2019 Housing Action Plan influenced the development of the following goals, policies and objectives, which strive to achieve Port Angeles' long-range vision for housing. Beyond improving the quality, affordability, attainability, and availability of housing for residents, this element is seen to support community objectives related to economic development, downtown growth, neighborhood character, and service -efficient, more cost-effective development patterns. The Actions related to Housing are included in Chapter 11, Implementation. 0 Housing Goals & Policies Goal G -6A To improve the variety, quality, availability, and attainability of housing opportunities in the City of Port Angeles. Policies P -6A.01 Expand the residential land use options in the Zoning Code by classifying residential zones by allowed density rather than by housing types. P -6A.02 Allow residential uses in all non -industrial zones. In situations where a limited work/live environment is found to be compatible with an underlying industrial zoning, limited work/live environments may be deemed suitable when the living space is subordinate in nature to the industrial use component and the integrity and intent of the industrial zone is maintained. P -6A.03 Encourage the retention and development of safe and attractive mobile home parks. P -6A.04 Plan for sufficient urban services to support future housing in a variety of allowable densities. P -6A.05 Allow accessory residential units in single family residential zones. P -6A.06 Promote acceptance of low and moderate income housing. P -6A.07 Consider the effect of impact fees on the affordability of housing prior to establishing such impact fees. P -6A.08 In accordance with RCW 59.18.440 and .450, require State and Federal publicly assisted housing under current contracts who demolish, substantially rehabilitate, change the use of residential property, or remove use restrictions developments to provide relocation assistance to those tenants displaced as provided for in sections 49 and 50 of the Growth Management Act.

It is provided to help City staff and leadership track progress, coordinate and combine various actions where it makes sense to do so, and to help guide budgeting of work and improvements in a more realistic, strategic fashion. As with the rest of the plan, this table represents the input, expressed priorities and values of the community and its leadership. Each listing includes columns identifying the anticipated timing of that action, as well as those primary agencies likely to be involved. These columns in no way obligate the City or identified partners to act or participate according to the timeframes described - rather, the table offers a means for the community to see, at a glance, its stated objectives in context of an intended timeframe. A 2019 Comprehensive Plan amendment identified policies that were specific or action oriented enough to justify placement into Chapter 11 Table 11.01 as actions. These former policies have been placed under each associated element in this chapter and identified by a placeholder number XX. A future Comprehensive Plan Amendment or Update will include the full evaluation of each proposed action for language, intent, timeline, partners and given a formal number. 0 (.luolq 41al Allnuolqua4ul abod slid) :)1:) VdOJ OC O 0 d aj Q V a v F- n Q- R1 o v E E v a)o d o a .o u d a Z Q N V V O Q Z c V 0 Z Y II II II V Y nQ c V O Z O C u c u `Y E ,■ Ur E= C m y d> 0 d cm Q � ° W L O E uy 1H31 v E3 VdOd :)1:) VdOJ OC O 0 0 0 Q V a v F- .o y R1 .a E �^ 3 Z d o r Chapter 11 - Implementation 11.3 U 0 0 0 0 0 F- E a d o O ry Z Q N �ro O N Q Z r O N Y c V Y nQ u O C u c °1 `Y E ,■ Ur E= m y d> A cm 'm ° E uy v E3 O a 2k Z Q a 3 O a IN O a Y E n >Z 0 t Y ~ Q « • I ' I Y c O c Y 3 p c a c ro c c s Q m m Y m '^ n C 4) w c G Y Y Y« K .p.

The earliest residents of the area were the Klallam Tribe ("Strong People"), Native Americans who were sustained by the region's abundant natural resources. These same natural resources - the naturally protected deep -water harbor, abundant coniferous forests, prolific wildlife and marine resources, and an overall natural beauty also attracted the first non -natives to the area and continue today to encourage visitors and new residents alike from all walks of life. Known variously as "Old Dungeness," "False Dungeness," "Cherbourg," and "Port Angeles," settlement was intermittent and sporadic throughout the early history of the city. In 1862 (due largely to the efforts of one man: Victor Smith, the "Father of Port Angeles"), President Abraham Lincoln signed an executive order setting aside 3,520 acres of land on the site as a U.S. Government Lighthouse and Military Reservation. Soon after, the original townsite layout was platted Figure A.01 — Port Angeles, as depicted in a 1917 Army Corps/USGS survey map (Image: University of Texas, Perry-Castan"eda Library Map Collection) A•3 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the townsite of Port Angeles has endured to this day. Patterned after the plan of Cincinnati, Ohio (substituting the Harbor for the Ohio River), the streets are arranged and named the same: Front, First, Second, etc.; at right angles to these are Tumwater, Cedar, Pine, Valley, Cherry, Oak, Laurel, Vine, and Race Street. While the City has benefited greatly from that original planning with its grid -pattern street layout, various challenges were also created such as utility service provision and circulatory problems, due to the topography of the land. Six different streams, with associated ravines, travel through the community flowing north from the foothills of the Olympic Mountains as they quickly make their way to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. They are: Dry Creek, Tumwater Creek, Valley Creek, Peabody Creek, Ennis Creek, White's Creek, with Lee's Creek, and Morse Creek located within the City's Urban Growth Areas. Despite such early planning, major settlement did not take place within the city until 1887, with the founding of the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony. A social experiment in communal living, the Colony contributed greatly to the early expansion of Port Angeles. Although short-lived, this settlement near the mouth of Ennis Creek built a sawmill, lath -mill and shipyard; constructed a 58 -foot propeller -driven schooner ("The Angeles"); started the first newspaper in town ("The Model Commonwealth"); and built the first schoolhouse, office building and a city opera house - in addition to founding four different churches in Port Angeles. The colony was largely disbanded by 1889 due to internal disputes, but many of the colonists stayed and blended with the rest of the thriving community. City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan e By 1890, the city population had soared to over 3,000 people, and the Government Reserve established 28 years earlier had become a bottleneck to progress, completely restricting further development of the city since it could not legally be homesteaded. The result was a "land rush" onto the federal property, as citizens took matters into their own hands as "Reserve Jumpers" - moving en- masse onto the reserve, platting lots, and establishing homesteads. Eventually, forced to recognize this matter officially, Congress conceded ownership to the squatters and opened the Reserve for sale to the public. The year 1890 was also notable as the year Port Angeles was officially incorporated as a city in the newly established State of Washington, and that same year it also became the County Seat of Clallam County. Thereafter, the City grew more slowly and developed much as other small towns in the Pacific Northwest. Gone were the early pretensions of becoming a great seaport or second national city patterned after Washington, D.C. Logging and timber have long been important industries, and in 1914 Port Angeles was home to the world's largest sawmill. In 1920, a large pulp and paper mill was built by Washington Pulp and Paper Company. Purchased a few years later and operated by Crown Zellerbach for over 60 years, the paper mill, located at the base of Figure A.02 - This detail of the "Ennis Creek" mural depicts a 17005 -era Klallum village.

Figure A.04 — Downtown Port Angeles was dramatically transformed in 1914 when street - level grades were raised 12 feet or more following a massive sluice operation - effectively a man- made mud slide using a nearby hillside for source material. Ediz Hook, is now owned and operated by McKinley Co. The City experienced sporadic growth until the linking of Port Angeles with the transcontinental railroad in 1914 brought increased prosperity. As rail transport increased and sea travel waned, Port Angeles surpassed Port Townsend as the major center for trade and commerce on the Olympic Peninsula. Sustained largely by marine trades and the forest products and fishing industries, Port Angeles became a classic American small town and the center of urban life on the North Olympic Peninsula. In 1922, the Port of Port Angeles was formed. The natural deep -water harbor has always attracted shipping as well as commercial and sports fishing. The Port now operates the Boat Haven Marina and The William Fairchild International Airport, in addition to managing much of the shoreline properties west of downtown Port Angeles. The first Coast Guard air station on the Pacific Coast was established at Ediz Hook on June 1, 1935. It is the oldest United States Coast Guard Station in the country. The piece of land currently occupied by the Coast Guard Station is the one remaining part of the military reservation that once included all of what is now Port Angeles. The station officially became Coast Guard Group Port Angeles in September of 1944, and received its first helicopter in 1946. By far the largest civic project was the regrading of the downtown streets, which occurred in 1914. That project created the current street elevation in the downtown - which resulted in basement levels for then - existing businesses (now the "Port Angeles Underground"). The Olympic Power Company was formed in 1911 to construct the Lower Elwha Dam. The County Courthouse was built A•5 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan 5 on Lincoln Street in 1915. A new fire station was built in 1931. A new police station and jail was built in 1954, and a new City Hall in 1987. In 1953, Port Angeles received the "All American City" award. Over the past forty years, except for a few periods of more rapid growth in the 1920s and 30s, the city has grown at a fairly stable rate of approximately one percent per year, to its present population of 19,370. The City has used zoning to coordinate development and growth since the 1930s, and in the early 1960s, made a determined effort to improve planning efforts through development of a "701" master plan along with a new zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance. In 1976, the City again reviewed its planning goals and processes, and adopted the 1976 Comprehensive Plan, which is the immediate predecessor of this Comprehensive Plan. Even before the State passed the Growth Management Act (GMA) of 1990 requiring cities and counties to revise or adopt comprehensive plans, the City of Port Angeles had decided it was time to revise the existing Comprehensive Plan, and had already begun that process when the GMA established new requirements for comprehensive plans. In response, the City has continued to move forward, consistent with the GMA, meeting all of its requirements, including the mandated completion dates. eAppendix A - Community Profile A96 AA 8rft*OnM*"kMKy samio Geo Naz Mr+•e f.„ Vb""d 1 f row— RJ4 M.y4rc � I Cot, LO -43 Po.ary w�sa.4w•ws.••rgs ar•.4. raw "04.r.1 -IN —rr.��.s uy...wra. aw w•ar��.urFY1r x♦ w..•rw+.r.N••wV oaY +l r•9s n•rs widry c�a•cw Figure A.05 — This map of Port Angeles' "environmentally sensitive areas" shows general locations of marine bluffs, ravines, shoreline buffers and modified fill areas. Current Characteristics An essential part of developing goals and setting directions for the future lies in reviewing the past and evaluating the present. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), prepared by the consulting firm of Nancy A. Ryan and Company for the 1994 Comprehensive Plan takes an in-depth look at the physical, social, and economic aspects of Port Angeles. A second addendum to the original EIS was prepared and adopted for the updates that have occurred over a three-year period ending in 2004. The following descriptions are intended to provide the users of this document with a general view of the community. For a more detailed analysis, refer to the EIS and the 2004 update addendum. A•7 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan t Location The City of Port Angeles is located in Clallam County on the northern coast of Washington's Olympic Peninsula (See Figure A.03). It is less than three hours driving time (including the ferry ride) from Seattle or Olympia, and is located at the base of the Olympic Mountains' north slope. Immediately to the north is the coastal marine environment of the Port Angeles Harbor, one of the deepest naturally -protected harbors on the West Coast, and Strait of Juan de Fuca. To the south are the pristine alpine wilderness areas of the Olympic National Park, to the east is the semi -arid climate of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, and within two hours time to the west is the Hoh Rain Forest and the beaches and rugged beauty of the Pacific Coast. Air The circulation of air around the Olympic Mountains and through the Strait of Juan de Fuca results in mostly easterly or westerly winds in the vicinity of Port Angeles. Highest winds are generally associated with intense winter storms, and may be from either an easterly or westerly direction. On most summer afternoons, a moderate to strong westerly breeze can be expected. Wind velocity and direction vary with the season. Winds from the west predominate and are strongest during the summer, averaging about 14 miles per hour. Winds from the south and east occur more frequently during the winter, with an average velocity of about nine miles per hour. Water Port Angeles is located in the Port Angeles watershed, which drains 65,000 acres (101.5 square miles). A gradually -descending slope from the Olympic Mountains north to the Strait of Juan de Fuca characterizes the topography of the immediate Port Angeles area. Steep hillsides and bluffs of 50 to 150 feet in elevation mark the northern edge of the slope. This region is segmented by streams, which flow from the mountains toward the Strait and have formed V-shaped ravines that are much lower in elevation than surrounding areas. These ravines contain the following major creeks passing through the community to Port Angeles Harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca: Dry Creek, Tumwater Creek, Valley Creek, Peabody Creek, Ennis/White's Creek; Lee's Creek and Morse Creek are located east of the City limits in the UGA. The Elwha River is located approximately 1.25 miles west of the City, and is the primary water '! Appendix A - Community Profile A•8 source for the city. Very few sites in the City obtain potable water from wells. Wildlife Port Angeles is located in an area replete with wildlife. The City is located adjacent to Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The drainages that pass through Port Angeles provide wooded corridors and habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Various freshwater wetlands are scattered throughout the city. Port Angeles Harbor is approximately 2,435 acres in size and is one of the deepest natural harbors on the west coast. It provides habitat for many aquatic species. The wooded riparian areas provide food, cover, spawning, breeding, and rearing areas for a wide variety of wildlife species. Trees and other plants shade streams and help keep water cool while stabilizing banks and providing food and habitat for insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds and fish. Trees also provide cover for wildlife. When trees die and fall into the streams, the logs create small dams and pools that offer fish rearing habitat and cover from predators. Logs that remain on land provide cover for wildlife. Wildlife from the ravines also make use of surrounding developed properties and undeveloped lands for foraging. Within Clallam County, the Washington State Department of Wildlife (Priority Habitats and Species program) has indicated that there are 15 "priority habitats" and 104 "priority species" listed in Clallam County.2 Due to an agreement with the Department of Wildlife, the location of these habitats is not made available. The locations have been reviewed and considered as part of this analysis. The location of other less sensitive species has been identified in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). In particular, there are three areas that harbor seals use for haul -out. Those sites are the beach at the former Rayonier Mill site, Hollywood Beach near downtown, and the south shore of Ediz Hook in Port Angeles Harbor. Department of Wildlife maps identify an area along the Harbor side of Ediz Hook that has "regular large concentrations" of shorebirds. The bluff along the shoreline also provides a special and valuable habitat for shorebirds and other wildlife. Within the Olympic National Park, Roosevelt Elk roam the slopes of the mountains. Other wildlife include black bears, cougars, coyotes, mountain beavers, minks, raccoons, otters, wolves, eagles, hawks, -w A•9 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan!! ravens, and grouse. Fisher have recently been reintroduced into the Olympic National Park as well. Mountain goats were introduced to the Olympic National Park during the last century and have become well-established. All of the creeks that make up the Port Angeles watershed are used for fish habitat, but most have barriers to fish migration. Coho, cutthroat and possibly steelhead use Dry Creek. Tumwater Creek provides anadromous use by coho, cutthroat, and steelhead well - upstream of the City limits. Valley Creek and Peabody Creek may be used by sea -run cutthroat, however, these runs are not felt to be self-sustaining. The stream ravines provide sections of relatively high quality habitat, and are recognized by the State as sustaining significant populations of resident fish and potentially having salmon runs restored - once downstream impediments are removed. The resident fish currently present in Ennis Creek are coho, sea -run cutthroat, and steelhead. The fish migrate up to 4.9 miles from the Port Angeles Harbor. White's Creek, which joins Ennis Creek, contains coho, steelhead, and sea -run cutthroat only up to Front Street. The estuary at Valley Creek was restored to its original condition as a mitigation action in 1996. Extensive restoration of Valley Creek has been accomplished upstream from the southern end of Valley Street to the Highway 101 crossing. Restoration efforts have been supported by City land acquisitions along the lower portions of Valley Creek, with the intent of future restoration projects. Natural Resources There are very limited forest areas, and no mineral lands located within the City. Much of the forested areas are located within stream ravines or along the marine bluffs. Approximately 35 acres of developable lands remain forested. Lincoln Park and Shane park also contain forested areas that are protected from development, however the trees in Lincoln Park are beginning to penetrate the air space needed for approach to Fairchild Airport, and will likely be removed in the future. The City of Port Angeles contains 26 miles of marine shoreline including Ediz Hook, a four -mile -long sand spit, and 17 miles of streams. Diverse scenic resources are abundant in Port Angeles. Notable visual elements include the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Ediz Hook, Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands, Mt. Baker, Hurricane Ridge, and the Olympic National Park. Of special note are the views along the bluffs above Port Angeles Harbor.

The beaches and beachfront trail along the shoreline also offer views of Ediz Hook, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Vancouver Island. Ediz Hook has superlative views of the Strait, mountains, waterfront, and the city. The vegetated creek ravines offer wooded open space, providing wildlife habitat and corridors connecting the waterfront with the foothills. Other open space amenities include wetlands, steep slopes, marshes, hilltops, and even open fields. The primary sources of noise in Port Angeles is air traffic from the airport and the Coast Guard base, industrial activities along the Port Angeles Harbor shoreline, vehicular traffic, and construction activities. The ambient noise levels within the City of Port Angeles would be expected to vary depending on location within the city. In 1986, a Noise Compatibility Planning Study was conducted for the Fairchild International Airport under the guidelines of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The Planning Study included analyses of both existing and projected noise levels associated with the aviation traffic. The one remaining mill along the waterfront is a source of noise and is in a difficult place to provide noise attenuation. Since the mill is visible from many residential areas on the bluff top to the south, these residences can be expected to receive the greatest noise impacts. The Rayonier Mill closed in late 1990s, leaving no noise -producing industries east of the downtown area. The K -Ply mill near downtown closed in 2011, with site remediation completed in 2016. The Port of Port Angeles intends redevelopment of the site for marine trades industries. Higher noise levels are allowed for motor vehicles operations on public roads. Warning sirens and temporary construction equipment are generally exempt from the noise regulations. Traffic levels would be expected to be highest along major transportation routes of US 101, First Street, Front Street, Lincoln, Lauridsen Boulevard, Race Street, Tumwater Truck Route, and Marine Drive. `! Appendix A - Community Profile A•12 �i Population The population for the City of Port Angeles in 1993 was 18,270; this represented an increase of three percent over the 1990 population of 17,710. The population for Clallam County in 1993 was 61,400. The percentage of the County population residing in the City dropped to 28.5% in 2004. The 2000 population of 18,397 marked a 3.7% increase over the 1990 population. The population had risen to 18,740 by 2007, and was 19,090 in 2015. The State Office of Financial Management (OFM) has projected a five percent growth rate over the next 20 years for Clallam County; this, along with a linear projection for Port Angeles, is illustrated in Table A.01. The City population so far not grown at the projected rate. Table A.01- Population Projections based on Office of Financial Management Population 2010 2015 2025 2035 2045 Port Angeles 19,038 20,509 23,802 27,623 32,058 Clallam County 71,404 75,717 85,142 95,739 107,655 The population figures in Table A.01 are projections based on an estimated 1.5% growth rate from 2010 census data. These numbers are considered high due to the historic growth rate for the City of 0.36% per year. Using information from the 2015 OF estimate, the percentage of Clallam County population attributed to the City of Port Angeles was 26.3%. Land Use The City of Port Angeles contains 10.7 square miles or 6,856 acres of land area. There are residential areas, industrial areas and commercial areas with a fairly well defined Central Business District (CBD). Figure A.06 shows the number of parcels within each zone. Port Angeles currently has land available in each zone designation to meet the anticipated future needs for developable lands. Figure A.07 and Figure A.08 indicate the amount of available land for industrial and residential lands, respectively. Currently, there are 567 parcels developed with infrastructure available for residential development. Community Facilities Community facilities include a 126 -bed hospital, one public library, one fire station, one police station, 22 developed parks, the Senior A•13 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan e Services Community Center, a public swimming pool, the Vern Burton Community Center, a publicly owned cemetery, one private golf course, four cultural centers (Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, Arthur D. Fierro Marine Lab, The Lower Elwha Klallam Cultural Center, and the North Olympic Cultural Center). The Port Angeles School District Number 121 serves the City of Port Angeles and its surrounding community. The District operates five elementary schools, one middle school (grades 7-8), one high school, one alternative high school, and is host to the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. Within the City of Port Angeles there are three elementary schools; Franklin Elementary, Hamilton Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary. Dry Creek Elementary School is located west of the city limits and Roosevelt Elementary is located east of the City limits. Stevens Middle School, Port Angeles High School and Lincoln High School provide for secondary education.

Peninsula College, with its main campus located in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, provides a vital center for higher education and diverse cultural opportunities, enhancing and strengthening community bonds for the residents of the North Olympic Peninsula. College programs include traditional academic transfer offerings, professional - technical training, Basic Education for Adults, adult continuing education, on-line learning courses and a center for baccalaureate degrees, allowing students many educational options. In addition to the many associate degree and certificate programs, Peninsula College offers a baccalaureate degree in Applied Management. The college also works with key university partners, providing numerous opportunities for residents to earn bachelor degrees locally. These partners include City University, Western Washington University, Goddard College and Evergreen State College. Peninsula College is committed to providing college/community connections and has numerous partnerships and collaborations in the community with the City of Port Angeles, the Port of Port Angeles, the Port Angeles School District, the Economic Development Council, local tribes, private businesses and others. The college offers classes, training and resources in support of workforce development and community enrichment. The college currently serves over 5,000 students and employs 145 full-time faculty and staff and approximately 390 part-time faculty and staff. The Port of Port Angeles operates a 16.1 -acre marina, with approximately 375 boat slips and 3,000 feet of dock for tie-ups, and a public boat yard for repair and maintenance. The Boat Haven Marina was upgraded during 2007-2008. The port also operates the William R. Fairchild International Airport. Planning Areas The Comprehensive Plan divides the City into eight planning areas. For the purpose of description, the individual planning areas are identified as the Harbor, Northwest, Southwest, North Central, South Central, East, Eastern Urban Growth Area and Southwestern Urban Growth Area planning areas. These areas are located on Figure A.09 and are described as follows: A•15 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan'! The Harbor planning area includes all shoreline areas adjacent to Port Angeles Harbor and contains the Coast Guard Station, the City - operated boat ramps, Harborview Park, and the McKinley Paper Company Mill, all on Ediz Hook. The historic downtown and waterfront are also essential parts of this sub -area. The boat haven marina, log export terminal, the Coho Ferry terminal, and City Pier Park line the waterfront. Entertainment activities (movie theater, bookstores, antique shops, galleries, historic underground tour and restaurants) abound within the pedestrian -oriented central business district. Also in the Harbor planning area is the former Rayonier Mill site. The mill has been closed since 1997, and has been demolished. The site is undergoing remediation for clean-up of materials left from the previous mill operation. In 2013, the City purchased a five million- gallon storage tank that remained on the site and has incorporated the tank into its facilities for the remediation of combined sewer overflows into Port Angeles Harbor. �:.Skx Sat fy' nJ f J City Planning Areas t H ...pimAey . � ,Vat.a�;,t�rtnne I PbnWng Are" hiC i t'Glrb[s+ i �"UW'%twfM j ]CrlSftf Yp[ ^y�►.o»••nr..:,,,,,,!.ssMt�esvMs. Trrt.nr„«�*,Baa+�,�<x,,.��+.+„y��1.�aM.w..�wsme+ c..ar.•.w..*+rs>wwt+w�e[`e�s+�er�c+"rer`ecp Figure A.09 — Planning areas defined for purposes of this comprehensive plan. 5 Appendix A - Community Profile A•16 a- A Northwest The Northwest planning area covers the western edge of the city lying west of Tumwater Creek and north of Fairchild International Airport. This area is comprised largely of older homes, however recent growth pressure has led to new subdivisions and home construction in the area. There is a commercial area located at 8th and "C" Street, serving the residents of the west end of the City. A pocket of industrial/ commercial activities is located along the Tumwater Truck Route near the US 101 junction. This area of town has limited access because of the Tumwater Creek ravine and the bluffs. The Northwest Planning Area has the largest segment of undeveloped residential land within the current City limits.

A•17 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan � n Fairchild International Airport and Lincoln Park. In 2005, the city annexed 358 acres of land into the southwest planning area. Much of the area is included in the Eclipse Industrial Park. Industrial development is located at the airport industrial park, and the area was annexed in 2005. A few homes lie within the City limits along Lower Elwha Road, but otherwise this planning area contains predominantly industrial and public land uses. North Central The North Central planning area is an older, denser portion of town. It is an area bounded on the west by the Tumwater Creek ravine and divided by Valley Creek and Peabody Creek ravines. It contains City Hall, Clallam County courthouse, the William Shore pool and the Carnegie Library museum. The commercial uses along Lincoln Street provide community shopping opportunities. Recreation is provided by a number of neighborhood parks. Much of the city's multifamily housing is within this planning area. South Central The South Central planning area is the area of town with newer homes on larger lots. This planning area was annexed into the City after much development had occurred. The street pattern changes from traditional townsite blocks to smaller lots in older areas and large blocks and cul- de-sacs in newer areas. The Port Angeles High School lies within this planning area. The Olympic National Park Headquarters and Visitors Center is along the Heart of the Hills Road. East The East planning area is the area east of Race Street to the eastern city limits. This area has a mix of older homes and newer residential subdivisions and development, as well as a portion of the First and Front Street commercial corridor. This planning area includes Peninsula College facilities and Peninsula Golf Club. Urban Growth Areas Eastern UGA The Eastern Urban Growth Area (UGA) is generally the area east of the city limits. Remnant properties in the UGA that are located south of the city limits and east of Valley Creek are considered to be in this UGA until annexation occurs, whereby they will be considered to be part of the adjacent planning area. Policies for this planning area are adopted by Clallam County as a part of the Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan. eAppendix A - Community Profile A•18 Figure A.12 — Downtown is Port Angeles' smallest neighborhood, but it's also the city's most dynamic, featuring dozens of shops, restaurants, beach and community gathering areas, and the Coho Ferry serving Victoria, BC. (Image: Studio Cascade, Inc.) Western UGA The Western UGA is generally the area west and south of the City limits. Remnant properties in the UGA that are located south of the pre -2005 city limits, north of Highway 101 and west of Tumwater Creek as far as Reddick Road are considered to be in this UGA until annexation occurs, whereby they will be considered to be part of the adjacent planning area. Policies for this planning area are adopted by Clallam County as a part of the Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhoods The City's planning areas are made up of 18 separate neighborhoods. The distinct neighborhoods are described in the following sections. Downtown The downtown neighborhood is the smallest neighborhood, extending north from the marine bluff to the waterfront and east from Valley Street to Chase Street on the east, and extending east along the Waterfront Trail to Vine Street (extended). The Downtown neighborhood is the traditional community center of the City. Many of the structures are two stories tall, with a few having residential uses on the second floor, or are used for offices. Many others are in disrepair, or are vacant. Buildings in the downtown area span several decades and architectural styles, some dating to the early 20th century. Few structures are more than two stories tall. The Lee Plaza is the major residential structure in the downtown area, and is managed by the Peninsula Housing Authority for low-income individuals. The City's Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance support increased residential uses in the downtown. The downtown is a walkable neighborhood, with ample sidewalk areas, mid -block crosswalks and a large variety of eateries and gathering places. A locally -owned natural A•19 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan 5 foods market, specializing in organic products and locally -grown produce anchors the west end of the downtown area. Washington State Department of Health and Human Services operates out of a downtown location. Ample parking is scattered throughout the downtown area. There are no longer any large anchor chain stores in the Downtown, however there are many individual shops providing unique items, such as clothing, books, candy, brewing supplies, boutique clothing, athletic goods, auto parts, novelties, gifts, art and furniture. Several City projects have been undertaken in the downtown in recent years. Water mains, sewer lines, sidewalks and street trees have been replaced. The sidewalks are constructed of pavers to enhance the aesthetics of the area. A recent project has replaced shoreline armoring along a portion of Railroad Avenue west of the ferry landing. Improved waterfront treatments and removal of hard armoring in favor of two pocket beach areas has returned areas further west to a much more natural City Noiphborhooda� AMxl L ny. lim Etta "Gail I stow, Wr ._..1.

This project also resulted in the formal extension of the Olympic Discovery/ Waterfront Trail through the downtown area, and created a block -long park on the west end of the Downtown, which complements City Pier Park located at the east end of the Downtown. The Downtown is an international port, hosting the Coho Ferry, which provides direct access to Victoria Canada. Pine Hill The Pine hill neighborhood extends from the center of Valley Creek ravine on the east to the center of Tumwater Creek ravine on the west. The northern boundary of the neighborhood is the marine bluff and the southern boundary is Highway 101. Pine Hill neighborhood is one of the older central city neighborhoods. The urban character of this neighborhood is similar to several other older neighborhoods, typically featuring 7,000 square -foot lots and standard grid pattern streets. The homes in this area typically are older structures built in the early 20th century, with a variety of more recent infill homes scattered throughout the area. The predominant style of house is typically American Craftsman. The area is generally level, with a slight rise from north to south. This aspect limits views towards the water (north) but many homes have views of the Olympic Mountains to the south. Very few commercial uses exist in this neighborhood. Those commercial uses that do exist are located along the 8th Street corridor. The Pine Hill neighborhood is only served by transit along 8th Street. Sidewalks do exist throughout the neighborhood. West End The West End neighborhood extends west from 'M' Street to the marine bluff, and south A•21 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive PlanIt_ziwl! ! from 10th Street to 18th Street, and is one of the least -developed areas of the city. Larger -lot zoning (up to 11,000 square feet) and the allowance for curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs result in a more suburban character. The neighborhood contains five different zone designations, allowing a range of densities from less than four dwelling units per acre to 12.44 dwelling units per acre. Two residential manufactured home parks exist in the neighborhood. Serenity House of Clallam County, Clallam County Housing Authority, and Habitat for Humanity all have developed housing for low-income families in the area. Much of this area remains undeveloped with large tracts of forested land. Two areas in the neighborhood have been set aside and used by industrial interests to store low -hazard waste materials, making those sites unlikely to be redeveloped in the near future. Several newer (1970s to current) subdivisions have been developed in this neighborhood, however not all of the developed lots are occupied yet. Many excellent building sites are developed with urban services but remain vacant. Homes in the area are newer, many of them single - story, ranch style structures. Although the development in this area is newer than other neighborhoods, streets are developed with few sidewalks for pedestrian use. No commercial services are available in the area. Due to this limitation, the neighborhood is not considered highly walkable. The Olympic Discovery Trail spans the neighborhood following Milwaukee Drive from 10th Street to 18th Street. The City -owned Ocean View Cemetery is located at the northwest limit of the neighborhood. Views from this neighborhood are primarily to the Olympic Mountains; the few developments west of Milwaukee Drive have outstanding views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Airport The airport neighborhood extends west from 'M' Street to the western City limit and south from 18th Street to the City's southern limits, and is the City's largest neighborhood with 1,217 acres. The primary land use is the William Fairchild Airport. The airport also contains an industrial park situated on the north side of the runways and south of 18th Street. The neighborhood also contains the City's refuse transfer station, recycling center, and compost facility. The Extreme Sports Park is located in the neighborhood's southwest corner. Several large tracts of forested land and farm sites exist in this neighborhood. This is the least populated neighborhood in the City. wipli w Appendix A - Community Profile A•22 Cherry Hill The Cherry Hill neighborhood extends from Lincoln Street on the east to Valley Creek on the west, and from Lauridsen Boulevard on the south to marine bluff on the north. This is an older neighborhood, and contains a large portion of the City's High Density Residential zoning located at the north end of the neighborhood. The southern portion of the neighborhood is primarily single-family residential zoning. The 8th Street commercial corridor separates the two zoning districts, and a second commercial corridor extends north and south along the west side of Lincoln Street. The neighborhood contains three small parks and the east slope of the Valley Creek ravine. Homes in the area are mostly older structures. Peabody Creek The Peabody Creek neighborhood extends east of Lincoln Street to Race Street, and from 8th Street on the south to the Georgiana/Front alley on the north. The boundaries of the Peabody Creek neighborhood are all comprised of commercial corridors, with high-density residential uses west of Peabody Creek and single family residential uses east of the creek. Peabody Creek Ravine divides the neighborhood diagonally from the southeast to the northwest. The neighborhood contains Jesse Webster Park, Erikson Park, and the Dream Playground; it also contains City Hall, Clallam County Courthouse, and the Senior Center. Crown The Crown neighborhood extends from 'I' Street on the east to the marine bluff on the west and from 10th Street on the south to the top of the marine bluff on the north. The Crown neighborhood contains Crown Park which provides panoramic views from the bluff top. Hamilton Elementary School is located within this neighborhood. The neighborhood is primarily a single-family residential neighborhood and contains no commercial zones. Much of the housing in the area is newer and there are still areas that are undeveloped. Ediz Hook The Ediz Hook neighborhood is made up of Ediz Hook itself along with the waterfront area extending west of Valley Street. The neighborhood is unique in that there are no residential uses in the neighborhood, with the exception of full-time residential use of boats in the marina. The primary uses are industrial, with a few commercial activities that support the industries. Several large industries make up the major uses, including the McKinley Paper Company mill, Westport Marine and Platypus Marine. Tesoro Petroleum provides fueling operations for large ocean-going vessels. Icicle Seafoods and the Puget Sound Pilots office and facility are located at the east end of Ediz Hook. The wA•23 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Port of Port Angeles owns and operates several industrial/commercial operations along the waterfront, including log storage and bark removal, topside repair of large ocean-going vessels, and berthing of navy support boats. They also own and operate the Boat Haven Marina. The Native American village Tse -wit -wen is also located within the Ediz Hook neighborhood. Ediz Hook itself provides outdoor recreation opportunities through the Sail and Paddle Park at the west end of the spit, and Harbor View Park at the east end. The parks are connected by an extension of the Olympic Discovery Trail. A boat launch is provided at the east end of the spit and at the Boat Haven Marina. Ediz Hook has recently undergone extensive habitat restoration efforts led by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. Georgiana The Georgiana neighborhood extends north from the Georgiana/Front Street alley to the waterfront, and extends from Vine Street on the west to the Whites Creek Ravine on the west. Although this is primarily a single-family residential neighborhood, the Olympic Medical Center's hospital and associated medical support offices make up the bulk of uses in the central portion of the neighborhood. Two parks are located in the neighborhood - Georgiana Park and Francis Street Park - which provide access to the Waterfront Trail. The abandoned Rayonier Mill site is located on the waterfront at the east end of this neighborhood. Harbor View The Harbor View neighborhood extends from the Tumwater Creek Ravine west to 'I' Street and north from 8th Street to the marine bluff. This is also primarily a single-family residential zone, with commercial uses located only at the intersection of 8th and 'C' Street. Shane Park is the only park in the neighborhood. Jefferson The Jefferson neighborhood is located between Lincoln Street on the west and Race Street on the east. It is bounded on the south by Lauridsen Boulevard, and on the north by the 8th Street corridor. This neighborhood is also primarily a single-family residential neighborhood, with the exception of uses on the south side of the 8th Street corridor. Jefferson Elementary School is located in the southwest corner of the neighborhood. CIVIC The Civic neighborhood extends east from Race Street to the White's Creek ravine, and north from Lauridsen Boulevard to the Georgiana/ Front Street alley. The neighborhood contains the major commercial strip along First and Front Streets, but is otherwise a single-family neighborhood. Low- intensity commercial uses are also located along M Appendix A - Community Profile A•24 x. .. Race Street. This neighborhood contains Civic Field - the City's major sports facility - the Fine Art Center, and Webster Woods, a premier art venue providing unique outdoor art. Lauridsen The Lauridsen neighborhood extends south of Lauridsen Boulevard to Park Avenue, and from the Valley Creek ravine on the west to Race Street on the east. Commercial uses in this neighborhood are confined to the western portion of Lauridsen Boulevard. The Housing Authority of Clallam County manages Mount Angeles View, an affordable housing project. Lyons Park is the only formal City park in the neighborhood. Lincoln Park The Lincoln Park neighborhood extends south from 8th Street to Highway 101 and west from Tumwater Truck Route west to 'M' Street (with some variation). Commercial areas are located along the 'C' Street corridor, and at the west end of the neighborhood along Highway 101. An industrial -zoned area exists at the south end of the Tumwater truck route, where several small manufacturing and construction -related industries exist. Park View Villas, a senior/retirement center, is located in this neighborhood as well as a cluster of high-density apartments found in the vicinity of the 'C' Street and Lauridsen Boulevard intersection. The remainder of the neighborhood is single- family residential. Schools in the area include Stevens Middle School - the only middle school in the City - the North Olympic Skills Center, and Choice Alternative School. The former Lincoln School has become the Clallam County Historical Society headquarters, and is planned to become the Clallam County museum. Lincoln Park is the City's largest park, and includes the Clallam County Fairgrounds, baseball fields, two ponds, and a large wooded area. Big Boy Pond, one of the City's largest wetland areas, is located west of Stevens Middle School. Mill Creek The Mill Creek neighborhood extends south from Park Street to the southern City boundary, and from the western City boundary to Race Street and Hurricane Ridge Road on the east. This neighborhood contains the northernmost portion of the Olympic National Park, and the Park headquarters building and maintenance area. Also located in this neighborhood is Port Angeles High School. Areas directly surrounding the high school are primarily single-family residential uses situated on standard -size lots. The southern portion of the neighborhood is also single family residential, however those A925 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan t lots are larger, less developed and are typified by newer homes. No commercial uses are located within the Mill Creek Neighborhood. Mt. Angeles The Mt. Angeles neighborhood extends south from Lauridsen Boulevard to the southern City limits, and from Hurricane Ridge Road on the west to the White's Creek ravine and the eastern City limits. A large portion of this neighborhood is occupied by Peninsula College, the only institution of higher education in the City. The neighborhood also contains Franklin Elementary School. Land uses are primarily single-family residential on larger suburban - size lots; however, some medium and high-density residential uses are located near the college campus. Southwest The southwest neighborhood is located south of Highway 101 and includes the entire area annexed into the City in 2005.

This neighborhood contains a large private golf course, the only golf course in the City. Also contained within this neighborhood is the City's wastewater treatment plant, which now includes a five -million gallon storage tank recently acquired from Rayonier corporation. The area includes the eastern portion of the Rayonier mill site, which is currently unused and awaiting further cleanup efforts. Recently, the City constructed a new bridge spanning Ennis Creek to provide an appropriate crossing for sewer and stormwater pipes. The bridge is also capable of carrying vehicular traffic and the Olympic Discovery/ Waterfront Trail. Housing In 1990, 7,553 dwelling units were located in Port Angeles. By 1992, units had increased by 422 (or 5.6%) to a total of 7,975 dwelling units. By 2004, units had increased by another 797 (or 10%) to a total of 9,479 units. In the decade of the 1990s, the City of Port Angeles grew at a slow rate of 3.9%. The growth in the UGA during the same time was 6.3%. During the period of 1996 to 2003, building permit activity showed that only 10.7% of the county -wide residential building units were constructed in the City of Port Angeles, while 14.2% of the county's residential construction was in rural areas of the Port Angeles planning region. Recent amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are intended to reverse the City's no -growth trend. Currently, the City has 6,834 parcels that are zoned for residential use. Of those residentially -zoned parcels, 761 are available for building. The City currently has a number of large undeveloped areas, and based on anticipated densities, currently undeveloped parcels would provide area for 2,280 additional dwelling units. Transportation The Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) has designated Port Angeles as a primary center of mixed-use development, and the City's UGA has been identified as a secondary center of mixed use development in the Regional Transportation Plan. Goals and policies in the Growth Management Element of this plan support focusing new growth and mixed-use opportunities in the City and UGA. The road network in the City of Port Angeles is characterized by a gridded street pattern that is oriented east to west (parallel to the waterfront) and north to south. This pattern shifts slightly south of Lauridsen Boulevard, where the street orientation shifts to match the platting A•27 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan t pattern established by the County before City boundaries were expanded. The regular geometry of this pattern is generally retained, except where topography of the foothills, deep ravines or bluffs along the Strait of Juan de Fuca force road realignment. Some areas located in the western portion of the City also diverge from the grid pattern, forming a more curvilinear, suburban -style pattern. Street grades are moderate in most areas, adapting to area topography - which rises from the waterfront and gently undulates as the foothills flatten to meet the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The most unique characteristic of the City's street network is the way it is interrupted by several deep ravines, which bisect east -west street connectivity and results in a limited number of streets that run continuously from one end of the City to the other. The RTPO identifies US 101 as the only Highway of Statewide Significance in Port Angeles.

There are five Highways of Regional Significance through the City, including: • us 101 • State Route 117 Tumwater Truck Route • Race Street leading to the Olympic Park Visitor Center and Hurricane Ridge • The First/Front Street couplet Marine Drive from US 101 to SR 117 • Lincoln/Laurel/Oak Streets connecting US 101 with the Coho Ferry landing on Railroad Avenue). There is one designated truck route in the City that runs from east to west along the Front/First Street couplet to Tumwater Truck Route (State Route 117) and along Tumwater Truck Route south to US 101. All roads in Port Angeles including highways of statewide and regional significance operate at LOS "D" or better. The City of Port Angeles is served by Clallam Transit System (CTS), the Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA) agency that serves Clallam County with a combination of fixed -route, paratransit, and vanpool services. Similar to trends seen by other rural transit providers during times of low fuel prices and strong economic growth, ridership has declined over the past several years. The hub of CTS's fixed -route service is Gateway Transit Center, located at the corner of Lincoln and Front Streets in downtown Port Angeles. From Gateway Transit Center, passengers can board one of four routes circulating within the city or three routes connecting Port Angeles with Sequim, Forks, and Joyce. The Strait Shot, a regional express route started by CTS in 2017, connects Gateway Transit Center with the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal where travelers can make timed connections to Seattle, Seattle -Tacoma International Airport, and other regional destinations. An intermediate stop in Poulsbo provides connections with Kitsap Transit for service to Silverdale and Bremerton. Paratransit service is provided to all locations within the city for those who qualify. Vanpools extend the reach of the transit network and are frequently used by those commuting to locations which are difficult to serve with fixed -route service The Dungeness Line, a part of the Washington State Department of Transportation's rural transit program, provides twice-daily service between Port Angeles and the Seattle area, including regular stops at major hospitals, Greyhound, Amtrak, and Seattle -Tacoma International Airport. A•29 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan �' The Port of Port Angeles is responsible for most operations along the waterfront, including ownership of the Black Ball Ferry Terminal, the Boat Haven Marina, and other waterfront properties supporting water related industry. The Port is also responsible for operations at Fairchild International Airport and the Airport Industrial Park. The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located approximately three miles southwest of the central city and serves a combination of commercial and private aviation demands in the region. The airport is owned and operated by the Port of Port Angeles and is classified as a commercial service airport by both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Washington State Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (WSDOT Aviation). The airport serves the commercial service needs of the entire Peninsula including Clallam, Jefferson and portions of Mason Counties and the general aviation needs of Clallam and portions of Jefferson Counties. The airport has more than 800 acres of property, with 690 in aeronautical use, and 110 in industrial park use. Two runways are available at the Airport for the needs of larger and smaller aircraft. The Primary runway is 6,350 feet long by 150 feet wide with the secondary smaller runway being 3,250 feet long by 50 feet wide and available during daylight hours only. The primary runway has the capacity for aircraft up to 115,000 pounds.

The police department provides patrol, crime prevention, community policing, a school resource officer, police k-9, crisis negotiators and criminal investigation services. The police operations headquarters and PenCom are located at City Hall. The Department has 62 personnel, which includes 32 authorized commissioned officers, 1 parking enforcement officer, 6 records specialists, 20 communications officers, 1 administrative coordinator and an additional 25 civilian police volunteers. The PenCom manager is a contracted position with Jefferson County 911. Fire The Port Angeles Fire Department provides fire response and advanced life support emergency medical services within the city limits of Port Angeles. The Fire Department headquarters station is located at 5th and Laurel Streets. The Department has 23 career personnel, including 21 firefighters who are cross -trained as emergency medical technicians, with 11 certified as paramedics. In addition to career personnel, the Department has an active volunteer component that is consolidated with the adjoining fire district. City Parks & Recreation Facilities Figure A.18 — The Port Angeles Police Department also operates 911 dispatch services for police and fire operations across Clallom County. The City Parks and Recreation Department maintains over 114 acres of developed park land, another 81.5 acres of undeveloped land reserved for future park development, and 91.8 acres of undeveloped lands set aside for protection as open space. The Parks Department maintains 14 playground equipment sites, 13 baseball and/or softball fields, 9 football and/or soccer fields, and 12 tennis courts. Approximately 10 acres are taken up by community facilities. The Senior and Community Services Center and the Vern Burton Community Center provide a wide range of year -around recreational services. Civic Field provides a full athletic complex for soccer, football and baseball, with lighting for nighttime activities, concessions, covered stadium seating, and locker rooms. The Carnegie Library has been converted to a museum leased by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and neighbors the City's former fire hall. The City owns and operates the 41 acre Ocean View Cemetery. Other city facilities include the Feiro Marine Life Center, located in City Pier Park, and a traditional native long house, the Loomis Building and several other log structures at Lincoln Park. The Port Angeles Fine Arts 01_�� Appendix A - Community Profile A•32 .. Center is located in Webster Woods Park. Two public walkways connecting the downtown area with the residential area at the top of the bluff are owned and maintained by the City. One of those walkways terminates at the Conard Dyar Memorial Fountain in downtown. The City operates a boat launch ramp and floats for boat moorage on the eastern end of Ediz Hook. The City pier also provides moorage for transient boaters. The City maintains the Olympic Discovery/ Waterfront Trail from Morse Creek to the Coast Guard Base entry on Ediz Hook and through the city to the western city limits at Lower Elwha Road. Water Utility Figure A.19 — Lincoln Park is one of Port Angeles' most diverse activity -oriented parks, including disc golf, a BMX track, a dog park, event facilities, fairground areas, wetlands and play fields. (Image: Studio Cascade, Inc.) The City of Port Angeles water service area includes the land within the city boundaries, along with services within Clallam County PUD No. 1, 52 Dry Creek customers, 5 Black Diamond customers, and one government account outside the city limits. The City also provides wholesale water to Clallam County PUD No. 1, subject to certain conditions consistent with GMA. In the City's 2002 Comprehensive Water Plan, the future service area limit was from Morse Creek to the Elwha River and bordered on the south by the Olympic National Park. The current water supply for the City is from the Elwha River. The Elwha River Ranney Well System with a minimum yield of 11 million gallons was originally constructed in 1977 with major renovations made during the Elwha Dam removal project started in 2010. This source provides for domestic and commercial and some industrial needs of the City. There is also a separate industrial water supply line serving the McKinley Paper Co. Mill. Stormwater Management The City maintains all public storm sewers, culverts, and stormwater facilities, including the WSDOT conduits, culverts, and stormwater facilities along the US 101 corridor within the A•33 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan !! city limits. The City is currently making a major shift in its approach to stormwater management, moving away from the more traditional system of hard surfaces draining to catch basins and being piped to the nearest water body to a more natural acting system of allowing stormwater to be absorbed into the earth through the installation of rain gardens and enhancing vegetative cover, including vegetated roof systems. Wastewater Utility The City's wastewater system includes a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) built in 1968-69 as a primary treatment facility, and upgraded to a secondary wastewater treatment plant built in 1994. The plant is the trickling filter/solids contact treatment system. Biosolids are hauled to the City's composting facility where it is composted and sold for beneficial reuse. The sewer conveyance system includes 119 miles of sanitary and combined sewer pipe ranging from 4 to 36 inches in diameter, 17 pump stations, and two marine out -falls.

(Image: Studio Cascade, Inc.) plant was modified most recently in 2014, when the first phase of the CSO Reduction program was completed. Modifications included a 4.9 million gallon storage tank for temporary storage of peak flows of sewage diluted by stormwater (combined sewage) during rain events, a refurbished deep water marine outfall providing improved dispersion of WWTP effluent, improvements to the trickling filters and headworks, and associated elements. The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located at the west end of Ennis Creek road, has a treatment capacity expected to be adequate beyond 2021. The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is rated at 10.8 million gallons per day (MGD) maximum month design flow, and can handle peak combined sewer flows of up to 20 MGD. The WWTP treated an average of 2.5 MGD of domestic sewage in 2014. Peak system flow capacities average 3.3 MGD (dry weather) with a maximum peak flow of 13.4 MGD. The peak system flow for 2014 was 9.86 MGD. The second and final phase of the CSO Reduction program is under construction, and scheduled for completion in 2016. When complete, combined sewer overflows to Port Angeles harbor will be reduced to less than once per year per outfall location. By design, overflows will occur at the 8000 foot long refurbished marine outfall before they occur at the two near -shore outfalls. One outfall location will be eliminated entirely. This represents a significant reduction, from an average of over 70 overflow events per year, and is a big pollution control achievement for the City. The Utility serves unincorporated areas of Clallam County (the Eastern and Western Urban Growth areas, and the Lower Elwha reservation land) and treats 2 million gallons annually of septage generated in Clallam and Jefferson County that is trucked to the WWTP. The WWTP treats about 0.5 million gallons of leachate generated by the COPA landfill and the Rayonier Mount Pleasant landfill annually. The sewer system serves approximately 3,700 acres in Port Angeles. The city has mostly 8 -inch local sanitary sewers and even some small 6 -inch. However, the city's original collection system was designed as a combined sewer system with storm water. There were no storm sewers in the city until the 1950s. The existing storm sewer system grew in bits and pieces as individual renovation projects and Local Improvement Districts (LID) responded to local problems. The storm A935 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan y sewers are 6" and 8" diameter due to the steep terrain of the city. The existing storm sewers run primarily in the north/south "short block" orientation picking up catch basins, which happen to be at the east/west "long block" intersections. In summary, the old downtown has combined sewers and the rest of the city has varying degrees of partially separated sewers. The Wastewater Utility employs a Source Control Specialist as part of the Pretreatment program, to better control what comes to the WWTP and to provide education and technical assistance to business owners. Several sources of grease and oils have been identified and remedied to relieve sewer backups. The Wastewater Utility staff operates, inspects, maintains and repairs the sewer conveyance system, the pump stations, and the WWTP. The Utility funds an organized program of Capital Improvement projects that is approved by City Council each year and includes a six-year plan for future projects. Solid Waste Utility The Solid Waste Utility operated by the Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department provides solid waste services. Residential customer's waste is picked up weekly or biweekly and collection is mandatory. Commercial customers are picked up 6 days a week. Curbside yard waste and recycling is offered and provided by a private contractor. Current participation in the curbside recycling program is 80% per cent of the residential customers. Curbside participation in the yard waste program is around 50% per cent of the residential customers. The City of Port Angeles owns and operates the Port Angeles transfer station. The Port Angeles Regional Transfer Station began operation in 2007 after conversion from a landfill. The landfill conversion was mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration because of the potential for scavenger birds at the landfill interfering with air traffic from the adjacent airport. This site accepts municipal solid waste from residential, commercial, and industrial customers throughout Clallam County. The Port Angeles Regional Transfer Station does not accept out -of -county waste. Recycling drop boxes are provided and accept glass, aluminum, and paper. Used oil, antifreeze, and batteries are also accepted at the site. Municipal solid waste is transported to regional landfills in Eastern Washington or Oregon. A second issue related to the landfill has been the release of buried refuse onto the beach as normal bluff erosion continued.

Performance standards are observable, measurable, specific measures of expectations that are typically expressed in terms of quantity, timeliness, quality or cost. • Quantity addresses how much work is produced. • Quality addresses how well the work is performed and how effective it is. • Timeliness addresses how quickly or when the work is accomplished. • Cost -Effectiveness addresses working within a budget or saving money. In order to be most useful, performance standards written to address these measures should be reasonable, attainable and when possible, based upon a recognized standard. The standards should be designed in order to provide a result that can directly lead to the determination of whether or not desirable outcomes have been achieved. Within the City organization, there is no "one size fits all" set of performance standards that can be adopted. That said, it is assumed that there are a number of "universal" performance standards that will apply to all City Departments. Clearly, the provision of excellent customer service, fiscal responsibility, stewardship of resources and the recognition of achievement are all standards that should be expected and they are reflections of the values of the organization. Beyond the performance standards that reflect core organizational values, each individual department within the City will have unique performance standards that are tailored to the specific outcomes that are desired. As was mentioned above, these standards could take into consideration the results (outcomes) that are desired, however specific budget constraints, regulatory requirements, measures of success and measures of quality should also be considered E•2 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan �`"� Community and Economic Development Department Performance Standards Results Port Angeles Fire Department Performance Standards Results Measured Standard Met?
