15 INTRODUCTION
16 Growth Management Act Requirements
17 The Growth Management Act(GMA)requires that communities adopt
18 comprehensive plans which are designed to guide orderly development and
19 growth over the next 20 years. Capital facilities and utilities are defined as
20 mandatory elements to be included in the Comprehensive Plan.The long range
21 Capital Facilities Plan(CFP)and the short range Capital Improvements Program
22 (CIP)make up the capital facilities element required by the GMA.
23 Capital facilities and utilities represent the infrastructure,or foundation,of a
24 community and are integral to accommodating growth. Capital facilities are
25 defined as public facilities considered necessary for community development.
26 Utilities include private and public enterprises which supply Port Townsend
27 with water, sanitary sewer, solid waste,storm drainage, electricity,
28 telecommunications,and cable television.While some of these capital facilities
29 and utilities are provided by the City,others are provided by private companies.
30 The Capital Facilities Plan(CFP)contains the overall policies and strategies for
31 the provision of adequate public facilities and services. It also includes policy
32 direction for funding and ongoing budgeting,a selection process, and
33 maintenance of capital facilities for economic development.The plan also
34 contains an inventory of existing and proposed capital facilities, and identifies
35 deficiencies in capital facilities and the actions necessary to eliminate such
36 deficiencies. The CIP contains the six-year finance plan for all capital facilities
37 and lists sources of funding and scheduling of individual projects for all capital
38 facilities.
39 The City of Port Townsend has combined capital facilities and utilities within
40 one element.However,the GMA addresses capital facilities and utilities
41 independently regarding planning requirements,particularly concerning funding
42 issues. The joint presentation of capital facilities and utilities within this
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.

VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 document is meant to increase the usefulness of this chapter and should not be
2 viewed as imposing general capital facilities planning requirements on utilities.
3 The County-Wide Planning Policy Requirements
4 The Capital Facilities&Utilities Element of the Plan must also be consistent
5 with the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County(Policy 42,
6 "Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and the Provision of Urban
7 Services to such Development").The relevant sections of that Policy are
8 summarized below:
9 The full range of urban governmental services at the adopted level of
10 service standards will be planned for and provided within urban growth areas
11 (UGAs),including:water; sanitary sewer;piped fire flow; and stormwater
12 systems.
13 New development must meet the adopted level of service standards
14 established for UGAs as a condition of project approval. Standards must include
15 interim provisions for urban facilities identified in the capital facilities plan.
16 New development will be required to contribute its proportionate share towards
17 provision of urban facilities identified in the capital facilities plan.
18 Urban services and facilities will not be extended beyond UGA boundaries
19 unless needed to protect the public health or welfare,or to protect an area of
20 environmental sensitivity.
21 The minimum design capacity for all planned capital facilities will be based
22 upon the total population projected for the service area at the end of the 20 year
23 planning period.
24 Scope
25 The scope of this plan primarily addresses land within the existing City limits,
26 although some references to unincorporated Jefferson County have been
27 included.This plan element covers all public capital facilities of the City of Port
28 Townsend,consistent with the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson
29 County(CWPP 44).This element also addresses essential public facilities.
30 Capital facilities for the City include: administrative office space;water;
31 wastewater; stormwater;law enforcement;fire and EMS;parks and recreation;
32 transportation; and library. However,the provision of some facilities beyond the
33 City limits(into the potential unincorporated portion of the FUGA)will need to
34 be defined with certainty in a future supplement to this chapter.The County and
35 the City will identify these services and locations through subsequent
36 discussions related to the extension of urban services within the potential
37 unincorporated portion of the Port Townsend FUGA. [Ord.No. 2825, §3.3,
38 (January 6,2003)].
39 Purpose
40 The purpose of the Capital Facilities&Utilities Element is to identify and
41 coordinate improvements necessary to accommodate orderly growth, set policy
42 direction for capital improvements,and ensure that they are provided in a timely
43 manner.The need to provide specific facilities and services is directly linked to
44 community expectations.
45 Quality of Life
46 Capital facilities and utilities directly affect a community's quality of life.
47 Determining the appropriate type,location and amount of public facilities and

1 utilities is a key component of the Comprehensive Plan.These facilities will
2 significantly influence the community's growth over the life of the plan.
3 Participants in the Port Townsend 2020 process defined several objectives as
4 important to the quality of life in Port Townsend.These objectives are described
5 within the Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter III of this Plan,
6 and include:
7 To enhance the diversity and strength of Port Townsend's economic and
8 employment base by encouraging environmentally sound businesses,with
9 minimal impacts on natural resources.
10 To maximize the safety and security of Port Townsend residents by
11 encouraging residential development within distinct neighborhoods that are
12 provided with adequate public facilities and utilities.
13 To carefully redevelop shoreline areas and increase their accessibility both
14 from the land and from the water.
15 To reduce reliance on the automobile and encourage the establishment of
16 pedestrian and bicycle oriented transportation options.
17 To take an active role to ensure the preservation of Port Townsend's many
18 parks,open spaces, environmentally sensitive areas,and marine vistas.
19 To promote the highest standards to preserve the natural environment and
20 Port Townsend's high quality of life.
21 To maintain and enhance Port Townsend's standing as a center for the arts
22 and cultural events,and to build the City's status as a regional center for
23 learning.
24 To preserve a tangible link to Port Townsend's celebrated past by ensuring
25 the preservation of the City's many historic sites and structures, and by
26 encouraging new compatible development.
27 To provide a variety of housing choices for Port Townsend residents,
28 including affordable housing.
29 All of these aspects of community development are dependent upon the
30 provision of adequate capital facilities and utilities. [Ord.No. 2879, § 1.8,
31 (February 7,2005)].
32 Concurrency
33 To serve new growth and development,the GMA requires that certain facilities
34 and services be provided concurrent with new development.In the case of
35 transportation improvements,a financial commitment to provide them within six
36 years must be made. Facilities which are subject to concurrency in the City are
37 transportation,water,wastewater,and stormwater.
38 Other facilities and services(e.g.,parks,and libraries)are accounted for in the
39 Capital Facilities Plan,including locations and capacity. The plan for funding
40 these facilities is part of the ongoing adopted capital facilities budget of the City
41 of Port Townsend.This annual budget,upon approval of the City Council,will
42 become the funding level for these facilities.The capital facilities budget is an
43 expression by the City Council of the need and appropriate funding levels for
44 public facilities and services in the near term.Longer term capacity and funding
45 were also estimated for each service area.These long term capacity and funding
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.

VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 estimates are contained in Appendices 42 and 43 to the Draft Port Townsend
2 Comprehensive Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement issued on
3 January 10, 1996.
4 Some facilities and services are controlled by other service providers,both
5 public and private. Services such as electricity,telephone,and cable television
6 services are provided,at least in part,by entities other than the City of Port
7 Townsend.While these facilities are accounted for in the Plan,they are not the
8 responsibility of the City, and are not required for concurrency. The City will
9 work with service providers to reach agreement on ways to ensure that these
10 services are available when needed. Additionally,the City will negotiate with
11 franchisees(e.g.,cable television companies)to ensure that adequate services
12 are provided.
13 Essential Public Facilities
14 The GMA requires that the comprehensive plans of cities contain a process for
15 identifying and siting "essential public facilities" (Chapter 365-195-340 WAC).
16 "Essential public facilities"is a specialized term that relates to larger"regional"
17 facilities,like landfills,prisons or airports.Typically,it is difficult to find
18 locations for these facilities due to neighborhood opposition.
19 The GMA gives local jurisdictions authority to define essential public facilities
20 which are subject to a separate siting process. The County-Wide Planning Policy
21 for Jefferson County includes a list of difficult to site facilities and services(i.e.,
22 CWPP 4.1).This list is not intended to be all inclusive. Rather,it should
23 function as a guide for the City, service providers,developers and residents.
24 Listed facilities include:
25 Local waste handling and treatment facilities such as landfills,drop-box
26 sites and sewage treatment facilities
27 Airports
28 State educational facilities
29 Essential state public facilities
30 Regional transportation and stormwater drainage facilities
31 Utility facilities
32 State and local correctional facilities
33 In-patient facilities(including substance abuse and mental health facilities)
34 The Comprehensive Plan and development regulations cannot prevent the siting
35 of essential public facilities. However,policies should be established to ensure
36 that these facilities are compatible with adjacent or nearby land uses.Therefore,
37 evaluation of proposals for the expansion of existing essential public facilities or
38 construction of new essential public facilities within the City should be made
39 according to a set of criteria.The County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson
40 County includes a list of criteria for the siting of essential public facilities which
41 should be included in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.These criteria
42 have been incorporated in policy 7.1 of this element.
43 Endangered Species Listings
44 In February 1997,the National Marine Fisheries Service announced its intention
45 to list a number of salmon and steelhead stocks in the Northwest as "threatened"
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 5/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 or"endangered."Port Townsend has no salmon streams within its City limits,
2 but is surrounded on three sides by a sensitive marine habitat,and draws its
3 water from rivers that are significant spawning grounds.Endangered species
4 listings could have profound importance,and reemphasizes the City's
5 commitment to take utmost care of our natural systems. The City has already
6 taken important steps,including:
7 Capital Facilities-The development of a wastewater treatment facility with
8 secondary treatment,the creation of the Stormwater Utility preserving and
9 enhancing natural drainage systems,reducing the rate of increase of toxic runoff
10 related to automobile use through development of a nonmotorized transportation
11 system, and management of the drinking water system with the needs of fish in
12 mind.
13 Regulation-Passage of environmentally sensitive areas regulations,
14 regulation of activities through the Shoreline Master Program,implementation
15 of best management practices for development under the Engineering Design
16 Standards Manual,and adherence to the controlled growth principles of the
17 GMA.
18 In the future,the City will participate actively with other jurisdictions in the
19 development and implementation of regional management plans for protection
20 of the listed species,will continue to improve the protection offered by our
21 regulations,and will implement the capital facilities projects called for in this
22 element of the Plan to improve the wastewater,water,and stormwater systems
23 of the City. [Ord.No.2670, § 1.12,(December 7, 1998)].
24 CAPITAL FACILITIES GOALS&POLICIES
25 The following goals,policies,and implementation strategy form the foundation
26 for the Capital Facilities and Utilities Element of the Port Townsend
27 Comprehensive Plan.The element will be instrumental in carrying out the
28 Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter III of the Plan.
29 Capital Facilities-Generally
30 Goal l:To plan and provide adequate public capital facilities and utilities to
31 address current needs and growth and development.
32 Policy 1.1: Design public facilities to be compatible in scale and design with
33 surrounding uses,and to incorporate common design elements which enhance a
34 sense of community and neighborhood identity.
35 Policy 1.2: Determine capital facilities and utilities needs based on adopted
36 level of service standards,adopted population projections,and the growth
37 patterns established in the Land Use Element.Use population projections for the
38 50 year planning period or ultimate build-out under the growth patterns
39 established by the Land Use Element to determine City needs for water,
40 wastewater and stormwater facilities.Recognize that limited water supplies,
41 financial resources, and environmental constraints may restrict growth to a level
42 below adopted population projections.
43 Policy 1.3: Promote conservation of energy,water and natural resources and
44 the use of alternative technologies in the location and design of public facilities
45 and utilities(e.g.,use natural drainage systems rather than constructing piped
46 stormwater systems).

3 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
4 Introduction
5 [Note: The remainder of this element contains the City's 6-year Capital
6 Improvements Plan(CIP)originally adopted in 1996.As part of its budgeting
7 process,the Port Townsend City Council has adopted annual updates to the CIP
8 in order to maintain a current list of capital projects,project scheduling,and a
9 financing plan that sets forth sources of funding.
10 Although the City Council has adopted these successive iterations of the CIP by
11 way of ordinance,the original CIP has been left unaltered within the text of the
12 Capital Facilities&Utilities Element for two basic reasons:
13 Leaving the original CIP text and tables provides useful historical context
14 to readers and shows how capital priorities and funding sources are identified;
15 and
16 Physically incorporating the annually amended text and tables of the CIP
17 within the body of the Comprehensive Plan is unduly burdensome and costly.
18 Accordingly,the City's 6-year CIP,as it now exists and as it may hereafter be
19 amended,shall be considered an integral part of the Port Townsend
20 Comprehensive Plan,and is made part of and incorporated within this Plan by
21 this reference.].
22 The need for capital facilities is generated by population growth,existing
23 facilities deficiencies,major facility maintenance and repair needs,internal
24 operations,and goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan.
25 Capital facilities planning has been ongoing in the City for many years.
26 However,the process usually followed the "wish list"approach-and funding
27 was inadequate to carry out all of the projects included in the plan(i.e. the
28 Capital Improvements Program).Under the GMA,Port Townsend's Capital
29 Facilities Plan(CFP)must balance facilities needs against Comprehensive Plan
30 requirements,level of service(LOS)standards,and available funding resources.
31 The approach should provide better coordination between land use planning and
32 capital facilities planning,and between services demanded by the public and
33 actual dollars available to provide those services.
34 Early in the comprehensive planning process. City department heads conducted
35 research and analysis of capital facilities,including production of an existing
36 facilities inventory,calculation of current levels of service, and
37 recommendations for future level of service standards.Lists were prepared of
38 noncapacity capital improvement projects as well.The findings were reported in
39 the report"Capital Facilities Requirements" (see Appendix 43 to the Draft Port
40 Townsend Comprehensive Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement
41 issued on January 10, 1996).At the same time,estimates were made of the type
42 and amount of capital facilities which would be required to serve future growth,
43 particularly within the next six year and twenty year periods.These figures,with
44 the assigned unit costs,were projected based on future population growth,to
45 determine the cost of maintaining current levels of service as well as providing
46 the recommended levels of service.
47 After the analyses were completed,the City Council reviewed the current and
48 recommended levels of service in the context of a City-wide plan and in terms of
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.

1 projected revenues. Levels of service were subsequently adjusted according to
2 Council preferences.
3 Following release of the Draft Comprehensive Plan and Draft Environmental
4 Impact Statement on January 10, 1996,the City and County agreed to revised
5 population projections for use in GMA planning.These new numbers affected
6 some of the Capital Facilities projections that were made in the Draft Plan.For
7 the final adopted CFP,the following population numbers were used:

12 Explanation of Levels of Service
13 Levels of service are usually quantifiable measures of the amount of public
14 facilities that are provided to the community. Levels of service may also
15 measure the quality of some public facilities.
16 Typically,measures of levels of service are expressed as ratios of facility
17 capacity to demand(i.e.,actual or potential users).The following list shows
18 examples of level of service measures for some capital facilities:
19
TABLE VII-4:EXAMPLE LEVEL OF SERVICE
STANDARDS
TYPE OF FACILITY SAMPLE LEVEL OF SERVICE 22
MEASURE
Hospitals Beds per 1,000 population
Law Enforcement Officers per 1,000 population 25
Library Collection size per capita 26
Parks Acres per 1,000 population
Road and Streets Ratio of actual volume to design capacity 29
Schools Square feet per student 30
Water Gallons per customer per day 31
33
34 Each of these levels of service measures requires one additional piece of
35 information:the specific quantity that measures the current or proposed level of
36 service. For example,the standard for parks might be 5 acres per 1,000
37 population,but the current level of service may be 2.68 acres per 1,000,which is
38 less than the standard.
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 26/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 In order to make use of the level of service method,the City selects the way in
2 which it will measure each facility(i.e.,acres,gallons,etc.),and identifies the
3 amount of the current and proposed(i.e.,standard)level of service for each
4 measurement.
5 There are other ways to measure the level of service of many of these capital
6 facilities.The examples above are provided in order to give greater depth to the
7 following discussion of the use of levels of service as a method for determining
8 the City's need for capital facilities.
9 Method for Using Levels of Service
10 The level of service method answers two questions in order to develop a
11 financially feasible CFP. The GMA requires the CFP to be based on standards
12 for service levels that are measurable and financially feasible for the six fiscal
13 years following adoption of the plan.The City is required to adopt a plan that
14 meets its capital needs for the fiscal years 1996 through 2001.
15 There are two questions that must be answered in order to meet the GMA
16 requirements:
17 1. What is the quantity of public facilities that will be required by the end of
18 the 6th year(i.e.,2001)?
19 2. Is it financially feasible to provide the quantity of facilities that are
20 required by the end of the 6th year(i.e.,2001)?
21 The answer to each question is calculated by using objective data and formulas.
22 Each type of public facility is examined separately(i.e.,roads are examined
23 separately from parks).The costs of all the types of facilities are then added
24 together in order to determine the overall financial feasibility of the CFP.
25 Appendix 43 to the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and Draft
26 Environmental Impact Statement issued on January 10, 1996 contains the results
27 of the use of this method to answer these two questions for the City of Port
28 Townsend.
29 Question 1: What is the quantity of public facilities that will be required by
30 the end of the 6th year(i.e. 2001)?
31 Formula 1.1: Demand x Standard=Requirements(where "Demand"is the
32 estimated 2001 population or other appropriate measure of need, (e.g.,dwelling
33 unit); and"Standard"is the amount of facility per unit of demand,(e.g.,acres of
34 park per 1,000 population).
35 When applied,this formula is used to identify the total amount of public
36 facilities that are needed,regardless of the amount of facilities that are already in
37 place and being used by the public.
38 Formula 2.1: Requirement-Inventory= Surplus or Deficiency(where
39 "Requirement"is the result of Formula 1.1; and"Inventory"is the quantity of
40 facilities currently available).
41 Formula 2.1 subtracts the current inventory of existing public facilities in order
42 to identify the net deficit that must be eliminated by additional facilities before
43 December 31,2001.If a net deficiency exists, it represents the combined needs
44 of existing development and anticipated new development. Detailed analysis
45 contained within Appendix 43 to the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan
46 and Draft Environmental Impact Statement issued on January 10, 1996,reveals
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 27/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 the portion of the net deficiency that is attributable to current development
2 compared to the portion needed for new development.
3 Question 2: Is it financially feasible to provide the quantity of facilities that
4 are required by the end of the 6th year(i.e.,2001)?
5 A"preliminary" answer to Question 2 is prepared in order to test the financial
6 feasibility of tentative or proposed standards of service. The preliminary
7 answers use "average costs"of facilities,rather than specific project costs. This
8 approach avoids the problem of developing detailed projects and costs that
9 would be unusable if the standard proved to be financially infeasible. If the
10 standards are feasible at the preliminary level,detailed projects are prepared for
11 the "final'answer to Question 2. However,if the preliminary answer indicates
12 that a standard of service is not financially feasible, six Options are available to
13 the City:
14 1. Reduce the standard of service,which will reduce the costs; or
15 2. Increase revenues to pay for the proposed standard of service(higher rates
16 for existing revenues, and/or new sources of revenue); or
17 3. Reduce the average cost of the public facility(i.e.,alternative technology
18 or alternative ownership or financing),thus reducing the total cost,and possibly
19 the quality; or
20 4. Reduce the demand by restricting population(i.e.,revise the land use
21 element),which may cause growth to occur in other jurisdictions;or
22 5. Reduce the demand by reducing consumption(i.e.,transportation demand
23 management techniques,recycling solid waste,water conservation,etc.)which
24 may cost more money initially,but may save money later;or
25 6. Any combination of options 1-5.
26 The preliminary answer to Question 2 is prepared using the following formulas
27 (P=preliminary):
28 Formula 2-1P: Deficiency x Average Cost per Unit==Deficiency Cost
29 (where 'Deficiency"is the result of Formula 1.2 and"Average Cost/Unit"is the
30 usual cost of one unit of facility(i.e.,a mile of road or an acre of park).
31 The answer to Formula 2.1P is the approximate cost of eliminating all
32 deficiencies of public facilities,based on the use of an "average"cost for each
33 unit of public facility that is needed.
34 Formula 2.2P: Deficiency-Revenue=Net Surplus or Deficiency(where
35 'Deficiency Cost"is the result of Formula 2.1P,and"Revenue"is the money
36 currently available for public facilities).
37 The result of Formula 2.2P is the preliminary answer to the test of financial
38 feasibility of the standards of service. A surplus of revenue in excess of cost
39 means the standard of service is affordable with money remaining(the surplus).
40 Therefore the standard is financially feasible. A deficiency of revenue compared
41 to cost means that not enough money is available to build the facilities.
42 Therefore,the standard is not financially feasible. Any standard that is not
43 financially feasible must be adjusted using the six strategies listed above.
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.

VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 Appendix 43 to the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and Draft
2 Environmental Impact Statement issued on January 10, 1996,contains these
3 scenarios for the City of Port Townsend.
4 The "final"demonstration of financial feasibility uses detailed costs of specific
5 capital projects in lieu of the "average"costs of facilities used in the preliminary
6 answer,as follows(F=final):
7 Formula 2.1F: Capacity Projects+Non capacity Projects=Project Cost
8 (where "Capacity Projects"is the cost of all projects needed to eliminate the
9 deficiency for existing and future development(i.e.,Formula 1.2),including
10 upgrades and/or expansion of existing facilities as well as new facilities).
11 Formula 2.2F: Project Cost-Revenue=Net Surplus or Deficiency(where
12 "Project Cost"is the result of Formula 2.1F,and"Revenue"is the money
13 available for public facilities from current/proposed sources.
14 The "final"answer to Question 2 validates the financial feasibility of the
15 standards for levels of service that are used for each public facility in the CFP
16 and in the other elements of the comprehensive plan.The financially feasible
17 standards for levels of service and the resulting capital improvement projects are
18 used as the basis for policies and implementation programs in the final Capital
19 Facilities Plan.
20 Setting the Standards for Levels of Service(LOS)
21 Because the need for capital facilities is largely determined by the LOS
22 standards that are adopted,the key to influencing the CFP is to influence the
23 selection of the level of service standards.Level of service standards are
24 measures of the quality of life of the community. The standards should be based
25 on the community's vision of its future and its values.
26 Traditional approaches to capital facilities planning rely on technical experts
27 (i.e., staff and consultants)to determine the need for capital improvements.In
28 the "scenario-driven"approach used in this plan,these experts play an important
29 advisory role,but they do not control the determination.Their role is to define
30 and implement a process for the review of various scenarios,to analyze data and
31 make suggestions based on technical considerations.
32 The final,legal authority to establish the LOS rests with the City Council,
33 because they enact the level of service standards that reflect the community's
34 vision.Their decision should be influenced by recommendations of:
35 The Planning Commission;
36 Providers of public facilities(i.e.. City departments,special districts,
37 private utilities,the State of Washington,etc.);
38 Formal advisory groups that make recommendations to the providers of
39 public facilities(i.e.,community planning groups);
40 The general public(e.g.,through individual citizens and community civic,
41 business, and issue-based organizations that make their views known or are
42 sought through participation in citizen work group committees).
43 An individual has many opportunities to influence the LOS.These opportunities
44 include attending and participating in meetings,writing letters,responding to
45 surveys or questionnaires,being appointed/elected to an advisory group,making
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 29/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 comments at meetings that influence the LOS decision: and giving input during
2 the SEPA review process.
3 The scenario-driven approach to developing the level of service standards
4 provides decision-makers,and anyone else who wishes to participate,with a
5 clear statement of the outcomes of various levels of service for each type of
6 public facility. This approach reduces the tendency for decisions to be controlled
7 by expert staff or consultants,opens up the decision-making process to the
8 public and advisory groups,and places the decisions before the City Council.
9 Selection of a specific level of service as the "adopted standard"is accomplished
10 by a 10-step process:
11 1. The "current"level of service is calculated.
12 2. Departmental service providers are given national/regional standards or
13 guidelines and examples of local LOS standards from other local governments.
14 3. Departmental service providers research local standards from City studies,
15 master plans,ordinances and development regulations.
16 4. Departmental service providers recommend a standard for the City's CFP.
17 5. The first draft of the Capital Facilities Requirements support document
18 forecasts needed capacity and approximate costs of two levels of service(i.e.,
19 the current actual LOS,and the department's recommended LOS).
20 6. The City Council reviews and comments on the first draft Capital
21 Facilities Requirements report and determines "Council-preferred" levels of
22 service.
23 7. Departmental service providers prepare specific capital improvements
24 projects to support the current LOS (unless the City Council workshop indicates
25 an interest in a different LOS for the purpose of preparing the first draft CFP).
26 8. The first draft CFP is prepared using the current LOS.
27 9. The draft CFP is reviewed/discussed during City Council-Planning
28 Commission joint workshops prior to formal hearings on the CFP by the City
29 Council.
30 10. The City Council formally adopts levels of service as part of the CFP.
31 The final standards for levels of service are adopted in Policy 3.1 of this
32 element.The adopted standards:
33 Identify the need for capital improvements projects; and
34 Are the benchmark for testing the adequacy of public facilities for each
35 proposed development pursuant to the "concurrency"requirement(see Policy
36 4.1).
37 Once adopted,the standards can be reviewed and revised once each year as part
38 of the City's annual amendment of the Comprehensive Plan.
39 Table VII-5 summarizes all of the adopted Level of Service Standards and the
40 associated capacity and noncapacity costs for each category.

8 Selecting Revenue Sources for the Financing Plan
9 Revenue sources that are available to the City of Port Townsend for capital
10 facilities were also identified in the preparation of this plan element(see

Port Townsend Page 31/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 Appendix 42 to the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and Draft
2 Environmental Impact Statement issued on January 10, 1996). Council members
3 examined all identified sources and again voted on their preferences as to which
4 revenue sources should be explored for funding capital facilities. Table VII-6
5 summarizes all of the revenue sources available for capital projects based on the
6 City Council's preferences.Table VII-7 summarizes the revenue sources
7 available for capital facilities projects based on existing revenues in 1996.
8 After publication of the Draft Plan in January, 1996,the City Council held
9 numerous meetings to discuss methods for financing the capital projects. In
10 some cases,LOS standards were reduced in order to reduce costs. In most cases,
11 however,noncapacity projects were reduced or deleted in an effort to reduce
12 costs without impacting LOS standards. Council then identified revenue sources
13 to be used for each category of capital facilities. In the case of City operated
14 utilities(.i.e.,water,wastewater and stormwater)Council recognized the need
15 for a thorough rate study as the basis for determining how the revenues will be
16 split between rates, system development charges(SDCs),use of the fund
17 balance,bonding and/or other available sources. This rate study will be
18 conducted later in 1996.The anticipated revenue sources for all of the capital
19 projects are summarized in Table VII-8.

1 Government Administrative Offices
2 Current Facilities
3 The inventory of City administrative offices totals 6,600 square feet(4,600
4 square feet in City Hall and 2,000 square feet for Public Works). Leased space
5 for the City Attorney's offices is not included in the inventory.
6 Level of Service(LOS)
7 The current LOS of 830 square feet per 1,000 population is based on the existing
8 inventory divided by the 1994 City population(7,953). City staff
9 recommendation for Level of Service was 1,150 square feet per 1,000
10 population,based on a study of comparable cities Currently,most City Hall
11 offices designed for one employee are being used by at least two employees, and
12 three employees work out of leased office space in another location. Space for
13 record storage,public information,and meeting rooms is insufficient for current
14 needs.The configuration of the building considerably decreases usable space as
15 well; approximately 2,200 of the 3,600 square feet are actually available for use
16 as office space. Because City administrative employees are housed in widely
17 separated locations,communication between departments is less efficient and
18 cost-effective, and citizens must often travel from one location to another to
19 conduct business with the City.
20 Based on City Council recommendations,the recommended level of service was
21 initially reduced to 1,000 square feet per 1,000 population.However,after an
22 analysis of revenue sources available to cover necessary capacity and
23 noncapacity projects,the City Council reduced the LOS to 695 sq.ft/1,000
24 population(i.e.,the existing inventory divided by projected population in the
25 year 2001 (9,494)).Thus,no increases in office space are anticipated over the
26 next six years(see Table VII-9).
27 The projected costs that the City anticipates related to government
28 administrative offices over the next six years are shown in Table VII-10.The
29 majority of costs($110,500)are noncapacity projects to upgrade existing
30 facilities.
31 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
32 Financing the Capital projects for government administrative offices is assumed
33 to be covered through real estate excise tax(BEET)money(approximately
34 366,000 over six years)and through councilmanic bonds(see Table VII-8).
35 Operating Impact of LOS Capital Improvements
36 Since the LOS for government administrative offices has been reduced so that
37 there will be no new capacity projects during the six year planning period,there
38 will be no net operating impact for this category.

18 The 1994 inventory of fire and EMS facilities totaled 0.6 bays per 1,000
19 population.A"bay"represents one fire bay which has the capability of storing
20 one to two pieces of apparatus(1,000 square feet)plus ancillary uses associated
21 with the bay(e.g.,restrooms,office space, storage,locker rooms)which
22 comprise 1,340 square feet for a total of 2,340 square feet per bay.
23 The 1994 inventory of law enforcement facilities totaled 4,000 square feet in the
24 downtown police station.
25 Level of Service(LOS)
26 Fire Facilities
27 The current LOS of 0.6 bays per 1,000 population is based on the existing
28 inventory divided by the 1994 City population(7,953).The City staff
29 recommendation for level of service was one bay per 1,000 population.This
30 recommendation was based on the analysis of existing facilities and staff s
31 projected needs to maintain and improve fire service and training facilities
32 through the year 2001.
33 The cost per fire station bay does not included the cost of the apparatus which
34 would be housed in a fire bay. For each additional bay beyond those which now
35 exist,the City Council must assume that a new apparatus at a cost of
36 approximately$100,00-$250,000 would be purchased to be housed in the bay.
37 Based on City Council's recommendation,the recommended LOS was reduced
38 to 0.53 bays/1,000 population(i.e.,existing inventory divided by projected
39 population in year 2001 (9,494)).No additional bays would be required during
40 the current six year period(see Table VII-11).
41 Police Facilities
42 The current LOS of 503 square feet per 1,000 population was based on the
43 existing inventory divided by the 1994 City population(7,953).The City staff
44 recommendation for level of service was 1,000 square feet per 1,000 population
45 based on providing 450 square feet per employee, and given a projected staff

VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 increase of 17,with a resulting total of 29.Additional police officers would
2 mean the ratio of officers would rise from 1.2/1,000 in 1994 to 1.9/1,000.This
3 reflects the average for all Washington cities with populations in the 5,000 to
4 10,000 range according to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police
5 Chiefs.
6 The number of square feet currently available to the Police Department provides
7 a minimal amount of space for current staffing and restricts critical functions of
8 the department;there are insufficient areas for record storage, evidence storage,
9 and interview space. Addition of new staff members will gradually impact space
10 constraints even more.

19 Based on City Council recommendations,the LOS was reduced to 760 square
20 feet per 1,000 population.This results in the need to acquire 3,215 square feet of
21 additional space by the year 2001 (see Table VII-12).
22 The City's Law Enforcement Plan includes purchase of land for a future
23 combined police/fire Public Safety Building which may be built sometime after
24 the year 2001. Acquisition of an interim police facility is proposed in 1996 to
25 provide the Police Department with enough space to house its operations and
26 provide necessary services to the public.
27 Pending the Council's decision concerning a new fire and police Public Safety
28 Building,funding for a new facility will be limited in this six-year period to an
29 interim police facility($490,000)and land acquisition for the new facility
30 ($150,000). Remodeling of the existing fire station is proposed during the initial
31 six year period to enable the Department to maintain an appropriate level of
32 service through 2001 ($90,000).Refer to Table VII-13 for all of the projects and
33 costs projected over the planning period.

13 Library
14 Current Facilities
15 The 1994 inventory of library volumes totaled 28,720 volumes.
16 Level of Service(LOS)
17 The current LOS of 3.61 volumes per capita was based on the existing inventory
18 divided by the 1994 City population(7,953).The City staff recommendation for
19 LOS was 4.1 volumes per capita.The recommendation was based on the per
20 capita August average for cities 5,000-9,999 compiled by the National Center
21 for Educational Statistics-Public Libraries, 1992.
22 At the direction of the City Council,the recommended LOS was reduced to 3.75
23 volumes per capita.This will require an increase of 6,883 volumes by the year
24 2001.This LOS will enable the City to maintain the current collection and add
25 sufficient new volumes during the period(see Table VII-14).
26 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
27 Financing of the Library capital projects($244,163 for capacity and noncapacity
28 projects over the six year period-see Table VII-15)will be from real estate
29 excise tax(BEET)monies and through councilmanic bonds(see Table VII-8).
30 This money will cover computers as well as additional volumes.Noncapacity
31 projects include interior and exterior work to the existing library building.
32 Replacement volumes are assumed to come out of the library's Operations and
33 Maintenance budget.
34 Operating Impact of LOS Capital Improvements
35 During the period 1996-2001,the net operating impact of the capital
36 improvement projects required to maintain the adopted level of service standard
37 is estimated to be on the order of$ 11,000 per year for a total of$66,000 over
38 the six year planning period.

2 Level of Service(LOS)
3 The Current LOS of 7.4 acres per 1,000 population was based on the existing
4 inventory of 59 acres divided by the 1994 City population(7,953).The LOS for
5 park land focused on City-owned park land only. This was done to distinguish
6 specifically between current and future LOS requirements for City park land
7 available to residents which is owned and controlled by the City,versus park
8 land owned and controlled by other entities(i.e.,Jefferson County and the
9 Washington State Parks Department).The City staff recommendation for LOS
10 was 7.4 acres per 1,000 population(i.e.,a recommendation to maintain the
11 current level of service). This LOS would result in assuring the City of having
12 an adequate number of park acres per capita regardless of any changes in the
13 future uses of the County and State owned parks which constitute an additional
14 468 acres of park facilities within the City limits.The establishment of
15 neighborhood parks in areas which will be more heavily developed within the
16 next six to twenty years would assure that all citizens of Port Townsend have
17 convenient access to parks.
18 Based on City Council recommendations,the recommended LOS has been
19 raised slightly to 7.6 acres per 1,000 population(based on the original LOS of
20 59 acres divided by the 1993 population of 7,755).This would result in
21 acquisition of an additional 13 acres over the next six years.The capacity
22 projects currently anticipated are development of the 35th Street Park playfield
23 and other park and open space acquisitions(see Table VII-17).
24 Noncapacity projects over the next six years include improvements to various
25 other park properties(see Table VII-18).
26 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
27 Financing for the proposed capital parks,recreation and property projects will be
28 from real estate excise tax(BEET)monies($176,000),developer contributions
29 (approximately$167,500 in land or money),grants(approximately$2.5 million,
30 including the$2 million for Union Wharf reconstruction)and other(volunteer)
31 contributions(estimated to be worth$18,500).Please refer to Table V13-8 for
32 additional information.
33 Operating Impact of LOS Capital Improvements
34 The net operating impact during 1996-2001 of the capital improvement projects
35 required to maintain the adopted level of service standard for parks,recreation
36 and property is estimated to be$38,400 per year($230,400 over the six year
37 planning period).

VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 A level of service for City streets is generally rated on a scale of"A"through
2 "F,"much like academic grading. Complex data collection and mathematical
3 formulas are used to determine level of service(LOS). LOS is a qualitative
4 measure which describes operational conditions within a traffic stream,and
5 takes into account factors such as speed,travel time,delay,comfort,and
6 convenience. LOS "A"through"C"imply free flowing traffic with minimal
7 delays,while LOS "D"and"E"imply unstable traffic flow with significant
8 delays and LOS "F"implies forced,unstable traffic flow with the potential for
9 substantial delays.
10 The Transportation Element of this Comprehensive Plan directs that City street
11 LOS standards should continue to be consistent with the Peninsula Regional
12 Transportation Planning Organization(PRTPO)recommendations for LOS
13 described in"A Peninsula Regional Community Guide to Transportation Level
14 of Service Standards."
15 The PRTPO recommends that roads within an urban growth boundary(e.g.,City
16 of Port Townsend)have a"regionally coordinated" standard of LOS "D."Urban
17 and tourist corridors,which are rural corridors which carry urban levels of
18 traffic, such as S.R. 20,are also recommended by the PRTPO to have LOS "D."
19 As the City of Port Townsend is a member of, and has played an active role in,
20 the PRTPO,the City's Transportation Element directs that the City's, arterials
21 and collectors be established at LOS "D."
22 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
23 It is anticipated that the funding for the City's six-year capacity and noncapacity
24 capital street projects will be through a mix of real estate excise tax(BEET)
25 funds($436,000),motor vehicle excise tax funds($119,000),motor vehicle fuel
26 tax funds($330,000),street vacation revenues($60,000),developer
27 contributions($4.7 million),grants($2.7 million),impact fees($300,000)and
28 Street Utility charges or other revenue obtained through cooperation with
29 Jefferson County($604,000).Refer to Tables VII-7,VII-8 and VII-20 for
30 further information.
31 Concurrency(Adequate Public Facilities)
32 In compliance with the GMA and policy 4.1 of this element,adequate roadways
33 must be available within six years of occupancy and use of new development.

18 Water
19 The City's water supply and distribution system is broken down into three major
20 categories: 1)raw water supply; 2)raw water storage; and 3)treated water
21 storage.These facilities can be further broken down into the separate categories
22 for the City of Port Townsend and the City Water Utility's Tri-Area Water
23 Service Area.
24 In-City
25 Current Facilities
26 Water Supply
27 The City of Port Townsend's raw water supply is the Big Quilcene River.The
28 City's contract with the Port Townsend Paper Mill is for five million gallons per
29 day.Prior to 1995,four million gallons per day were reserved for the City and
30 one million gallons per day for the Tri-Area.In 1995,the City began to use
31 groundwater as the primary source of water for the Tri-Area,with all of the
32 surface water reserved for the City. All of the following calculations are based
33 on the fact that the Tri-Area is now served by groundwater and that the City has
34 available five million gallons per day of surface water supply.
35 Raw(Nontreated) Water Storage
36 The City currently stores raw water at Lords Lake which has a capacity of 500
37 million gallons.The City has a limitation at Lords Lake of an additional 300
38 million gallons if the dam and structures are raised.
39 Treated Water Storage
40 Treated water in the City is stored in the Howard Street reservoir which has a
41 capacity of five million gallons,and the new one million gallon standpipe,for a
42 total capacity of six million gallons.
43 Level of Service(LOS)
44 Water Supply
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 59/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 The current LOS of 629 gallons per capita per day is based on the existing
2 inventory of five million gallons per day divided by the 1994 City population
3 (7,953).The proposed LOS of 360 gallons per day is based on the Washington
4 State Department of Health(DOH)requirement that water purveyors plan for
5 800 gallons per day per connection for raw water supply. Dividing the per
6 connection LOS by the projected household size at the end of the 20 year
7 planning period(i.e.,2.232 people per household)results in a LOS of 360
8 gallons per capita per day.
9 Raw Water Storage
10 The current LOS for raw water storage is approximately 62,900 gallons per
11 capita,which is calculated based on five million gallons divided by the 1994
12 population of 7,953.The adopted LOS is based on maximizing the available
13 storage at Lords Lake(500,000,000 gallons)to serve the 2001 population of the
14 City(9,494 people).This results in an LOS of approximately 50,000 gallons per
15 capita.
16 Treated Water Storage
17 The current LOS of 754 gallons per day per capita is based on the existing
18 capacity of six million gallons divided by the 1994 population of 7,953.The
19 adopted LOS is based on the required volume of treated water,calculated as 800
20 gallons per connection+3,500 gallons per minute x 3 hours for fire flow,+25%
21 of the maximum daily demand for equalizing storage.The number of
22 connections is based on the 50 year population estimate(23,035 people/2.232
23 people per connection= 10,320 connections).This calculation results in a LOS
24 of 475 gallons per capita.
25 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
26 Based on an LOS of 360 gallons per capita per day the City will require a raw
27 water supply of approximately 3.4 million gallons per day in the year 2001 (i.e.,
28 based on a projected population of 9,494).The City's current water supply is
29 therefore sufficient through 2001.
30 Within the next twenty years,the City will have to raise the dam at Lords Lake.
31 The estimated cost for this project is$1.7 million.The raw water storage
32 facilities are sufficient through the six year planning period(see Table VII-22).
33 The City has a sufficient amount of treated water storage facilities based on the
34 LOS of 475 gallons per capita(see Table VII-23).
35 The capacity and noncapacity costs associated with serving water to the City
36 residents over the next six years are$838,000 and$2.12 million,respectively
37 (see Tables VII-5,VII-8 and VII-24 through VII-27).These costs will be
38 financed through rates,system development charges,use of fund balance,
39 issuance of new bonds,grants and/or other sources.
40 Operating Impact of LOS Capital Improvements
41 It is estimated that there will be no net operating impact during 1996-2001 for
42 the capacity-related City water projects.
43 Concurrency(Adequate Public Facilities)
44 In compliance with the GMA and policy 4.1 of this element,each development
45 must meet the City's adopted LOS standards for water supply before a building

26 Tri-Area
27 Current Facilities
28 Water Supply
29 The raw water supply for the Tri-Area currently consists of groundwater from
30 two wells-the "Sparling"and"Kivley"wells. These wells currently are capable
31 of supplying 900,000 gallons per day(gpd).The City's combined groundwater
32 right on the two wells totals 1.14 million gallons per day(mgd)average and 3.53
33 mgd peak.
34 Raw Water Storage
35 Since the Tri-Area is being served by groundwater,there is no need for raw
36 water storage,as the groundwater aquifers actually represent this storage.
37 Treated Water Storage
38 Treated water for the Tri-Area is stored in the Hadlock Reservoir which has a
39 capacity of one million gallons.
40 Level of Service(LOS)
41 Water Supply
42 The current LOS for the Tri-Area is 247 gallons per day per capita,and is based
43 on 900,000 gpd serving a total of 1,455 connections(in December 1995)with an
44 estimated household size of 2.5.
Current through Ordinance 3119,passed December 8,2014.
Port Townsend Page 71/83
VII.CAPITAL FACILITIES&UTILITIES ELEMENT
1 Using the DOH requirement that purveyors plan for 800 gallons per day per
2 connection for water supply,the recommended LOS for the Tri-Area is 340
3 gallons per capita per day,based on an estimated future household size of 2.36.
4 Based on an LOS of 340 gallons per capita per day,with an estimated service
5 area population of 4,982,the Tri-Area will need a water supply of 1.69 million
6 gallons per day in addition to meeting estimated contractual commitments for
7 500,000 gallons per day,for a total of 2.19 mgd on a peak basis in 2001.
8 Raw Water Storage
9 The groundwater aquifer acts as the storage facility for the raw water for the
10 Tri-Area.Therefore,no LOS is associated with this category.
11 Treated Water Storage
12 The current LOS for treated water storage in the Tri-Area is 275 gallons per
13 capita based on one million gallons available divided by 1,455 connections with
14 an estimated household size of 2.5. In determining the recommended LOS,the
15 same DOH requirements apply(i.e., 800 gallons per connection+3,500 gallons
16 per minute(gpm)x 3 hours for fire flow+25%MGD for equalizing storage).
17 This results in an LOS of 535 gallons per capita(based on a future service area
18 population of 5,675 people at 2.36 people per household).
19 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
20 Based on the adopted LOS of 340 gallons per capita per day of raw water
21 supply,the Tri-Area system will require an additional 382,000 gallons/day of
22 supply by the end of the six-year planning period(see Table VII-28).The City
23 is currently upgrading the Tri-Area well and treatment system to add more
24 capacity.
25 Based on the LOS of 535 gallons per capita,the Tri-Area will require an
26 additional 1 million gallons of storage by the year 2001 (see Table VII-29).
27 The capacity and noncapacity costs associated with serving water to the
28 Tri-Area over the next six years are$1.26 million and$1.76 million,
29 respectively(see Tables VII-5,VII-8 and VII-24 through VII-27).These costs
30 will be financed through rates,system development charges,use of fund
31 balance, issuance of new bonds,grants and/or other sources.
32 Operating Impact of LOS Capital Improvements
33 The net operating impact from the proposed capital improvements to the
34 Tri-Area water system are estimated to be on the order of S100,000 per year,for
35 a total of$600,000 over the six year planning period.
36 Concurrency(Adequate Public Facilities)
37 This plan does not apply any specific concurrency requirement to areas lying
38 outside Port Townsend's corporate limits. However,consistent with the GMA,
39 Jefferson County requires proof of potable water supply prior to issuance of new
40 building permits.The City Water Utility serves all new development within its
41 Tri-Area Water Service Area;the City will require new development to meet
42 City design standards as a condition of obtaining a water reservation.

4 The service area for waste-water collection and treatment is limited to Port
5 Townsend's corporate limits.It consists of an interceptor trunk line and other
6 collection piping,lift stations,a wastewater treatment plant and an outfall.
7 Level of Service(LOS)
8 The current LOS of 160 gallons/day/capita is based on the current wastewater
9 treatment plant capacity of 1.27 million gallons/day divided by the 1994 City
10 population(7,953).The proposed LOS of 120 gallons/day/capita is based on the
11 design capacity of the plant(1.27 million gallons per day)divided by the design
12 population of the plant(10,400).This LOS will enable the City to maintain a net
13 reserve through the year 2001 (see Table VII-30). However,the interceptor line
14 is at capacity and will require improvements during the six year planning
15 horizon.
16 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
17 The proposed capital projects for the City's wastewater treatment and collection
18 system are shown on Tables VII-31 and VII-32. Financing of the City's
19 proposed capacity and noncapacity capital projects will be through a mix of
20 rates,system development charges,use of fund balance, issuance of new bonds
21 and/or grants or other available sources(see Table VII-8).
22 Operating Impacts of LOS Capital Improvements
23 The net operating impact during 1996-2001 of the capital improvement projects
24 required to maintain the adopted level of service standard is estimated to be
25 520,000/year for a total otS120,000 over the six year planning period.
26 Concurrency(Adequate Public Facilities)
27 In compliance with the GMA and policy 4.1 of this element,adequate

20 Stormwater Management
21 Current Facilities
22 The City is currently in the process of finalizing a functional plan,the Port
23 Townsend Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP)that
24 identifies specific needs and requirements,planned capital facilities projects,
25 and a short-term/long-term financing plan.The final SWMP will identify
26 projects and sources,of funding for the projects for a six year planning period.
27 For the purposes of this CFP,the City has identified Stormwater projects in its
28 Capital Improvement Program.
29 Level of Service
30 Rather than set LOS standards for this CFP,the City will use its Stormwater
31 Master Plan(including the DOE Stormwater Management Manual)to prioritize
32 capital improvements, set LOS standards,and identify sources of funding.
33 Capital Facilities Projects&Financing
34 The proposed capital projects for the City's Stormwater utility over the six year
35 planning period are shown in Table VII-33. It is anticipated that funding for
36 these projects will be through a mix of rates,reserve capacity charges,use of
37 fund balance and/or grants or other available sources(see Table VII-8).
38 Concurrency(Adequate Public Facilities)
39 In compliance with the GMA and policy 4.1 of this element,adequate
40 Stormwater management policies and facilities will be required prior to issuance
41 of a building permit.
