AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
John Fischbach, County Administrator
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: November 6, 2006
SUBJECT: Resolution re: Adopting the Housing Action Plan
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
To develop a coherent, coordinated and consistent Housing policy Jefferson County worked with the City of Port
Townsend to assess the needs of the community, especially the workforce, which is struggling with increasingly
unaffordable housing. Housing affordability is measured as a percent of gross income. When a family earning less than
the county's median income spends more than 35% on rent it is probable that they are at risk.
For eight months, Jefferson County and Port Townsend staff participated in the drafting of a Housing Action Plan that
was done by Beckwith Consulting of La Conner,Washington,hereinafter referred to as "Consultant". A steering
committee consisting of elected and appointed officials and representatives of non-profits, schools and the general
public held regular meetings,reviewed consultant's progress and amended the plan.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROs and CONs:
The Housing Needs Assessment documents that county residents are interested in a variety of housing types and
partnerships between organizations to them, and opportunities for home ownership as well as rentals for the low, very
low, and moderate income residents of the county. Having in October 2006 completed this plan,which was unanimous
in both the city and county,the only con at this point would be to do nothing. This option would therefore lose the
momentum of the moment, as evidenced in an already established group, staff in place and a document that is current.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
First,it is anticipated that the Housing Action Plan will enable the county to fulfill its responsibility to the citizenry by
providing sanitary and safe housing. Second,by facilitating greater access to job opportunities for the under-and
unemployed, as outlined in the study,the Housing Action Plan meets two critical needs,housing and economic
development. Finally, and most importantly, it is envisioned that County resources can be leveraged with Federal and
State funds if the plan is formally adopted in writing by the County and City,so as to increase the production of
affordable housing within the county,while at the same time,provide a platform for coordinated,coherent and
consistent housing and economic development activities.

' Chapter 1 : Introduction
The housing market has changed since Port Townsend and Jefferson County
' accomplished the last housing assessment in 1999 and continues to evolve. The
housing choices that confront Port Townsend and Jefferson County at the present
time are significant and could alter the character, quality, and affordability for
households of all types and incomes if not adequately planned. This document
1 outlines the choices that are available and the means for implementing preferred
actions found to be of most benefit to city and county residents.
Objectives
The specific objectives of this planning effort were to:
■ Define the setting-within the Jefferson County housing market including
conditions within each of the county's defined areas of Jefferson County including
Port Townsend, Marrowstone, Port Hadlock and Irondale, Port Ludlow, Quilcene,
Brinnon, and the remaining rural county.
■ Inventory conditions- including housing conditions, construction and sales
trends, affordability implications, and projects currently sponsored by public and
nonprofit organizations.
' M Forecast demand- for households by type, occupant, income, and other
characteristics and any demand/need imbalances that exist or are likely to arise.
■ Identify appropriate roles and responsibilities-that should be undertaken
' by Jefferson County and Port Townsend, the Jefferson County Housing Authority,
OLYCAP, Habitat for Humanity, Community Economic Development Entity, lenders,
builders, realtors, and public at large to meet affordable housing needs for all
income levels, and low and moderate income households in particular.
• Develop the elements of a countywide housing action plan- for coordination
actions, stimulated economic development, educating and mentoring households
needing assistance, refining planning measures and development regulations,
proposing affordable housing quota or bonus systems, developing supporting
infrastructure, and creating financial incentives for rehabilitation and new
development programs and projects.
' M Illustrate the rp ototypes-that could be implemented to realize affordable
housing design, development, and financing solutions within various settings
throughout the county including village clusters, proposed urban growth areas,
and uptown and downtown infills within Port Townsend.
■ Define an implementation program- outlining the actions necessary to
realize the housing action plan by Jefferson County and Port Townsend, the
Jefferson County Housing Authority, OLYCAP, Habitat for Humanity, Community
Economic Development Entity, lenders, builders, realtors, and public at large
including periodic progress assessments and adjustments.
■ Determine public opinion- through a series of public participation events and
a final mail-out/phone-back sample of registered voter households to resolve final
project, plan, and financing particulars.
Approach
' This study analyzed the supply, demand, and need for affordable housing solutions
for all household types and income levels including low and moderate income and
Chapter 1: Introduction
' Port Townsend/lefferson County Housing Action Plan
special populations within Jefferson County as a whole and the specific population
areas therein.
The proposed implementation strategies are the result of this comprehensive or
holistic analysis. Generally, the proposed strategies recommend the county and
1 city focus planning, development, finance, and market intervention resources
where affordable housing needs are most critical, and the combination of public,
nonprofit, and private resources the most effective.
1.3 Public involvement
The Jefferson County and Port Townsend Planning and Community Development
Departments and an Advisory Housing Committee composed of city and county
officials, public, nonprofit, and private organizations oversaw this planning
process. During the course of the planning program, the Departments and
Committee conducted a series of:
' M Mail-out/mail-back surveys and focus group sessions- of major builder,
lender, and realtor representatives and nonprofit sponsor organizations at the
beginning of the process to determine current market conditions, capacities,
capabilities, issue assessments, and recommendations.
■ Public workshops and forums-with city and county residents to determine
public condition assessments and brainstorm plan and project proposals prior to
the development of housing action plan proposals.
' a Mail-out/phone-back survey of registered voter households- towards the
end of the process to determine final project and program priorities from among
the alternative proposals, and resolve financing preferences with which to
implement this plan.
The proposals contained within this document represent the opinions developed
from these public participation events.
Documentation
This report is organized into 5 chapters outlining statement of need, strategies in
' place, new approaches, and housing action plan implementation measures.
Separate technical appendices detailing comprehensive plan goals and objectives,
population projections, socioeconomic characteristics, housing supply, market
' capabilities, market demand and need, public opinion, housing programs, and a
bibliography are available from the Jefferson County and Port Townsend Planning
and Community Development Departments.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Port Townsend/Jefferson County Housing Action Plan
Chapter . .d
' The following 2000 Census summary statistics depict a significant and growing
need for a housing action plan in Jefferson County and Port Townsend. See the
i referenced appendices for additional information or background on the summary
points made here.
2. 1 Population change - see Appendix B. I
' E 1900-1920- all Washington State jurisdictions' rates of change declined from
the high rates of change during the early immigration years of 1900. Annual rates
of change were significant, but lower in Jefferson County and Port Townsend than
' was common in Washington State and Puget Sound (Pierce, King, Snohomish, and
Kitsap Counties) during 1900-1910 - then became negative during the out-
migrations of 1910-1920.
■ World War 11- all Washington State jurisdictions increased in population
growth during World War II, particularly Jefferson County and Port Townsend,
which had rates of change higher than the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound.
■ 1950-1960-Jefferson County and Port Townsend had negative growth rates in
the 1950-1 960s compared with the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound - then
rebounded to annual rates of growth in the years since that were equal to or higher
than the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound.
' N 2000-2005- annual growth rates were higher in Jefferson County than has
been apparent in the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound - and Port Townsend.
■ 2005-2024- in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan, the Jefferson County
Community Development Department forecasts an aggressive annual rate of
population change will occur within Jefferson County at rates higher than will be
experienced in the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound. The forecasts are
based on Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) statewide
allocations - which may under estimate the growth potentials actually available
to the county.
■ Within Jefferson County- the Community Development Department expects
the highest rate of annual growth will occur in the Port Ludlow Master Planned
Residential Area, then Port Townsend -with lesser but still high rates of annual
growth to occur in the Tri-Area Urban Growth Area and rest of county.

Affordable housing needs 2006-2024 Appendix
' The number of persons and households that likely need housing that is not being
provided by the market rate housing can be estimated from a number of different
and somewhat independently measured socioeconomic indicators. Such indicators
t include persons with poverty level income, households with extremely low income
levels, households paying more than 35%of household income for housing, and
special populations including the homeless, mentally ill, domestic abuse, and
elderly care. Each indicator can be quantified from census and other inventory
' assessments as an independent estimate of housi g need - but can not be easily
cross indexed to determine a resolute correlation of housing need.
For example, persons with poverty level incomes May include elderly persons who
' own and live in older housing units of sound cond tion. Therefore, not all poverty
or extremely low income persons may be in need f housing other than market
rate.
' Conversely, some households who are paying more than 35%of their household
income for housing may include households in up er income levels who are able to
afford adequate market rate housing, but choose o pay for housing beyond their
means. Therefore, not all overextended househok s may be unable to afford
' adequate housing were they to choose to do so.
In spite of such imperfect measurements, it is possible to forecast the likely
dimensions of housing need in.Jefferson County a the present time and into the
' future using year 2000 census indicators. For example:
■ Persons with poverty level incomes- in the ar 2000 approximately 2,899
persons (equal to 1 1.0%of the total population) ir .Jefferson County had income
levels defined to be below poverty definitions byte US Census. Were this ratio to
remain constant, approximately 4,448 persons w uld have incomes below poverty
levels in,Jefferson County by the year 2024 of whi h a substantial number would be
expected to need housing assistance in some forr i. This extrapolated estimate
' may be conservative, however, if the current rare of income disparity continues
to grow between low and high income persons.
• Extremely and very low income households- in the year 2000 approximately
' 2,673 households (equal to 23.0%of all households) in Jefferson County had
income levels defined to be below 30%and 51%of median household incomes by
the US Census. Were this ratio to remain constant, approximately 4,102
households would have extremely to very low incomes in Jefferson County by the
t 7
Chapter 2:Statement of need
' Port Townsend/Jefferson County Housing Action Plan
year 2024 of which a substantial number would be expected to need housing
' assistance in some form. This extrapolated estimate may be conservative,
however, if the current rate of income disparity continues to grow between low
and high income households.
' 0 Housing costs as a percent of household income- in the year 2000
approximately 2,089 households (equal to 17.9%of all households) in Jefferson
County were paying more than 35% of household income for mortgage or rental
payments according to the US Census. Were this ratio to remain constant,
approximately 3,205 households would be overextended in Jefferson County by the
year 2024 of which a significant number would be expected to be unable to afford
market rate housing. This extrapolated estimate may be conservative, however,
if current housing cost increases continue to grow at higher rates than income
growth.
■ Based on the above, the number of households needing housing assistance
of some form- is estimated to be between 2,089 and 2,673 households or
approximately 17.9%to 23.0%of all households in Jefferson County in the year
2000. Were this ratio to remain constant, between 3,205 and 4,102 households
may need housing assistance of some form by the year 2024 in Jefferson County -
requiring at least 1,116 to 1,429 more affordable housing units to be added by
' rehabilitation or new construction by the year 2024 assuming current housing
needs were completely satisfied.
• The demand/need for housing for special populations- (including the
' mentally ill, homeless, domestic abuse, Alzheimer and elderly care) was not
estimated beyond current forecast information available from special population
housing sponsors (see Appendix F.3) and can not be adequately quantified with
currently available information. The housing needs of this market sector needs to
' be evaluated further and in greater depth.

Chapter 3: Strategies in place
The Jefferson County and Port Townsend Comprehensive Plans contain
detailed strategies for the development of affordable housing within the
' county and city. Those strategies are included within this chapter since they
were the basis for the development of this housing action study and plan and
contain the framework for many of the recommended action items.
3.1 Jefferson County housing trategies -
Jefferson County's strategy for providing an adequate housing supply for county
residents focuses on regulatory and cooperative activities to ensure the availability
' of sufficient land to provide a variety of housing types and promote affordable
options for housing. For that purpose, the county identified the following action
items in the Comprehensive Plan.
' Action Items
1. Conduct Community Housing Analyses and County-wide housing needs
assessment- for each of the Rural Village Centers and Urban Growth Areas.
(Corresponding Goal: 1.0)
2. Cooperate with public,private and nonprofit agencies- to undertake an
assessment of housing demands and monitor the achievement of the housing
policies and housing targets not less than once every three (3) years.
' (Corresponding Goal: 1.0)
3. Adopt a formal memorandum of understanding- to encourage and support
the efforts of the Jefferson County Housing Authority. (Corresponding Goals: 1 .0
' and 3.0)
4. Conduct a joint County-City study- to assess the adequacy of the supply of
developable residential land currently served by required urban or rural utilities and
roads to accommodate existing affordable housing shortfalls. (Corresponding Goal:
1.0)
S. Develop a process to distribute information- on county policies and
' regulations and changes in the housing market to housing developers and
providers. (Corresponding Goal: 2.0)
6. Consider owner builder amendment to the Building Code- to allow owner
occupancy prior to the final inspection and completion of the dwelling unit.
(Corresponding Goal: 2.0)
7. Identify funding sources- such as "Planning-Only" grant funds to pursue a
' County-wide study of housing conditions as a basis to develop a regional
subsidized housing repair program in cooperation with the City of Port Townsend,
Clallam County, Clallam,Jefferson County Action Council, the Jefferson County
Housing Authority, Olympic Area Agency on Aging, Habitat for Humanity, and the
' State of Washington's Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED).
(Corresponding Goal: 3.0)
8. Coordinate and promote an economic development strategy- that creates
adequate income for home ownership. (Corresponding Goal: 1.0)
Special needs housing strategy
Jefferson County's strategy for special needs housing combines cooperative efforts
with human services agencies and land use regulatory changes to facilitate the
development of special needs housing to serve county residents.
9
Chapter 3: Strategies in place
Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
Action Items
1 1. Appoint a joint County-City Housing Advisory Committee- to develop a fair
share housing monitoring program and Elderly Housing Needs Advisory Committee
to assess the special housing needs of the senior population. The scale and nature
of the projected elderly housing needs should be thoroughly assessed by Jefferson
' County and the City of Port Townsend. A joint citizen advisory committee with staff
support could perform this study. The study should make recommendations to
both jurisdictions regarding regional elderly housing policies. (Corresponding Goal:
4.0)
(a) AJoint County-City Housing Advisory Committee will analyze the
location, size, and availability of publicly owned lands to assess their possible
utility for accommodating low income housing opportunities throughout Jefferson
County.
' 2. The County shall support application for special needs housing funds- in
cooperation with other jurisdictions in the region. (Corresponding Goal: 4.0)
3. Develop site criteria for special needs group housing- that address issues of
neighborhood compatibility and meet fair housing requirements. (Corresponding
Goals: 1.0, 4.0)
' For the most part, these action items have or will be achieved by the Action
Plan projects and programs listed in Chapter 4 of this document.
3.2 Port Townsend affordable housing strategies
' In the past, city government played a limited role in encouraging the provision of
affordable housing. For the most part, affordable housing has been provided by
builders and developers seeking to capitalize on local market conditions. The city's
past involvement in fostering the availability of affordable housing was confined to
zoning very limited areas of town for higher density multifamily development.
While the strategy advanced by the city's Comprehensive Plan housing element
' aims to increase the supply of multifamily zone land, the city's approach seeks to
clearly articulate a course of action that, in addition to land rezoning, will also
provide real incentives for developers and builders to produce the type of housing
needed in the community.
' In addition, the city should undertake the following actions to implement the
Comprehensive Plan housing element goals and policies:
' Action Items
1 Provide sufficient land supply with adequate infrastructure- for affordable
housing development. Adequate capacity for housing development, including
available infrastructure, is essential to allow the market to function and to prevent
' rapid price escalation. Appropriately zoned land is needed especially for affordable
housing types, such as small-lot single-family, townhouse, multifamily and
manufactured housing. At least 105 acres of currently undeveloped land should be
up-zoned for moderate and high density multifamily uses.
2. Commit to expanding financial support- for low and moderate-income
housing. Identify specific housing needs, such as preventing displacement of
mobile homes or housing the local service industry workforce (e.g., artists, retail,
marine trades). Identify potential opportunities and resources, such as surplus
public property. Emphasize coordination with the county and opportunities for
public/private partnerships.
3. Seek ongoing funding- for affordable housing projects and educational
programs. Invite local housing industry and social services experts to help set
priorities, recommend actions, and obtain grant funds (e.g., Community Action
Council,Jefferson County Housing Authority). Build understanding and support for
' 10
Chapter 3: Strategies in place
Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
affordable housing in the community by publicizing successful housing projects
' and programs.
4. Promote incentives- for low and moderate income housing development. Offer
density bonuses and impact fee exemptions to reduce costs for units guaranteed to
' remain affordable. Consider reduced parking requirements for housing restricted
to low-income seniors and special needs residents, and expedited permit
processing for publicly funded low-income housing.
S. Make duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and townhouse developments easy to
build. Port Townsend needs to revise development standards - such as building
setbacks and parking to promote more compact, efficient, and affordable homes.
Revised codes should allow attached single-family homes that reduce costs for both
the builder and the home buyer.
6. Allow accessory housing and special needs housing- in single-family
neighborhoods. Make use of existing housing by permitting a rental unit within a
' house or in a separate structure. Reduce zoning code barriers for transitional
housing and other special needs housing types.
7. Maintain reasonable impact and utility fees. Evaluate the cumulative impact of
' fees and off-site mitigations in relation to the final price of housing. Recommend
reducing or exempting fees for low-income housing guaranteed to remain
affordable for the long term.
8. Facilitate predictable and timely permit processing. Look for ways to revise
permit requirements to reduce development costs without compromising
environmental quality or adequate public review. Improvements should include
consolidated applications, administrative decision-making authority, automated
permit tracking, and timelines for permit review.
For the most part, these action items have or will be achieved by the Action
Plan projects and programs listed in Chapter 5 of this document.

Community Development Financial Institutions or CDFIs are financial institutions
that develop a range of strategies to address community development
objectives. CDFIs provide comprehensive credit, investment, banking, and
development services.

' CDFIs make loans and investments and provide 60 fkx&es wch wr
basic services to people and institutions that, for
various reasons, are unable to get these services J!w
from conventional financial institutions.
CDFIs serve economically disadvantaged people
and communities throughout the United States,
such as affordable housing developers, small business owners, community groups,
and other nonprofits or social service providers. In 1994 the Community
Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act created a source of federal
funding to fund community development financial institutions.

4.8 Self help • • public
The US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Community Assistance
Corporation (RCAC) of Washington was established in 1978 and provides a wide
range of environmental and housing services. These services improve water,
wastewater and solid waste management; build
' capacity of local officials and community-based p'
organizations; increase the availability of safe and
affordable housing; support building and
renovating rural community facilities; and develop
the knowledge base of the agricultural workers,
Native Americans and partner communities.
USDA Rural Development's Self-Help Housing
program provides technical assistance and
construction oversight to groups of families who construct each others homes. The
program also provides financing for each household in the form of a subsidized
mortgage.
' Each self-help household contributes approximately 65%of the labor required to
build each house. They work through the year for the 12-plus months it takes to
build a house contributing around 35 hours of physical labor each week. This is in
' addition to whatever hours the household works at their jobs.
Participating households must have stable, dependable, and reliable income and
good credit. Their income must be too low to qualify for a loan from a conventional
I lender, but high enough to afford a USDA Rural Development mortgage. Their
mortgage payments are subsidized based on the family's income level and size.
Unlike other government-subsidized programs, however, the borrowers agree that
if they sell or rent their home they will repay the subsidy they received under the
' program.
Local examples
USDA's Self-Help housing programs have been conducted by the Housing Authority
' of Clallam County, Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, and Whatcom-
Skagit Housing Authority.
4.9 Land lease
Community Land Trusts rehabilitate existing housing and/or build new units. The
trust retains ownership of the land (99-year renewal lease)while selling the house
to a moderate-income, sometimes first-time buyer that could not otherwise afford
' 17
Chapter 4: New approaches
Port Townsend/Jefferson County Housing Action Plan
to purchase a home. In the process, buyers gain equity(though at a slower rate
' than usual) and the community gains a home that will always be affordable.
Land trusts offer an advantage over most subsidized housing -they bring diverse
groups together to collaborate in decision-making. The project is governed by a
board composed of land trust residents, other homeowners from the surrounding
community, and stakeholders such as foundation officials.
There are estimated to be between 125-175 land trust operating nationwide at the
' present time ranging from as few as 8 units to more than 800 units. The defining
characteristics are the separation of land and housing, and the homeowner
representation on the board.
' Land trusts calculate the homeowner's share of an increase in equity over time.
The trust typically awards the seller 100%of the principal that has been paid down
with each month's mortgage payment. Sellers also receive 100%of the appraised
value of any capital improvements and 25%of the property's appreciation based on
' a comparison of appraisals at the time of purchase and sale. The formula provides
the seller some benefit, the new buyer often pays close to the same price as the
seller originally did, and the trust ends up with a considerably larger subsidy than
it had the first time around.
' For example, consider a homeowner whose house cost $100,000 but who received
a subsidy of$20,000, and who decides to sell 10 years later. If the house is
appraised at $180,000, the seller receives $105,000: the original $80,000
' mortgage, another $20,000 for the 25%of the $80,000 increase in value, plus
about $5,000 for the principal pay-down over the 10 years.
The trust can then sell to a new buyer for the same $105,000, effectively gaining a
built-in subsidy of$75,000, based on the home's increase in open-market value to
$180,000.
The seller will not receive the full gain in equity that a household would receive if
they bought a market-rate unit, but will be able to buy a first-time house and gain
equity that they would not otherwise have the opportunity to do.
Tax assessments must be adjusted also to reflect the limited resale value of the
' homes. The assessments will increase based on the resale formula.
Local example
■ The Homeward Bound Community Land Trust-was formed in Port Townsend
' in 2005 but has not started development yet.
Other local examples
• The San Juan Community Home Trust(www.hometrust.ora)- provides a
' subsidy to the cost of land, infrastructure, and construction. Homebuyers must
agree to limit the eventual resale price of the home so that it is perpetually
affordable to working people.
5 new, perpetually affordable homes in the Salal Neighborhood of Friday Harbor
are nearing completion, and were ready for
occupancy at the end of January, 2006. This will
F
bring to a total of 15, the number of homes in
Salal, and will complete the first project of the
' Community Home Trust. The homes are being
sold to islanders whose income is below 80%of 1
the area median income. Of the 5 new homes, 3
are 2-bedroom homes selling for $125,000, and 2 ATM$
are 3-bedroom homes, 1 of which is wheelchair ;
accessible, both selling for $135,500.

Prototype
The prototypical approach creates a clustered
development of duplex units organized in a
courtyard focused on a common green serving
as a community drainfield.
The concept can be expanded to provide
additional clusters)`ocused on common or
parkway courtyards as sewer treatment
solutions allow.

Comprehensive / / goals and / • •
;;A.I Growth Managenjent Act (GMA)
' The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) contains the following goal
concerning the housing elements of comprehensive plans: "Encourage the
availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population of this
state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage
' preservation of existing housing stock."(RCW 36.70A.020(4).
GMA requires comprehensive plan housing elements recognize the vitality of
established residential neighborhoods and identifies 4 features that must be
included:
• An inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs;
■ A statement of the goals, policies and objectives for the preservation,
improvement, and development of housing;
' • Identification of sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to,
government-assisted housing, housing for low income families, manufactured
housing, multi-family housing, and group homes and foster care facilities; and
• Adequate provisions for existing and projected housing needs of all economic
' segments of the community. (RCW 36.70A.070(2)).
Other sections of GMA recommend the use of innovative planning techniques that
are directly related to housing, including: density bonuses, cluster housing,
planned unit developments (PUDs), and the transfer of development rights (RCW
36.70A.090).
These and other nontraditional techniques are reflected in the goals, policies and
' implementation strategies of the Jefferson County and Port Townsend
Comprehensive Plan housing elements.
Affordable .
The US Department of Housing & Urban Development(HUD) defines "affordable
housing as: "Housing units available for purchase or rent to individuals or families
with a gross income between the federally recognized poverty level and the median
income for working families in Jefferson County which, including utilities, would
not exceed 30%of gross income."
The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan outlines the following objectives
concerning affordable housing within the city:
■ Affordable housing is a general public need and will be addressed through
private sector programs and projects - local government should not assume a
direct role in the ownership or administration of public assisted housing;
rather, this should be left to private, nonprofit or quasi-public entities.
• The housing or land use elements of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan
will include an assessment of land available and the process for the location of
special purpose housing.
■ A sufficient quantity of land will be appropriately zoned to accommodate a
wide range of housing types, densities, and mixtures.
■ The housing element will include an affordable housing strategy that examines
' existing policies and regulations to identify opportunities to encourage the
provision of affordable housing (e.g., mechanisms such as accessory dwelling
units (ADUs), density bonuses, mitigation fee waivers, and priority permit
processing).
■ The Port Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA) will accommodate a fair share of
' housing affordable to low and moderate income households according to the
city's percentage share of the county population and by promoting a balanced
mix of diverse housing types.

A-1
Appendix A: Comprehensive plan goals and policies
Jefferson County/Port Townsend housing Action Plan
• Undeveloped land owned by public entities will be inventoried and those that
' are appropriately located should be considered for development of low income
housing. Consideration of assembling these parcels for development by
nonprofit housing organizations or private developers should be encouraged.
• The housing element will include criteria for locating higher density residential
' areas near public facilities and services, commercial services, arterials, or
within walking distance of jobs or transit.
' The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan housing element outlines the following

' Housing Act and encourage and support the development of housing to
accommodate disabled persons.
HSP 4.7: Consider vacant public lands to accommodate low income housing
' opportunities throughout the county.
A.4 Port Townsend housing goals and policies
The Community Direction Statement of the city's Comprehensive Plan states:
'A wide choice of housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles
and incomes. Residential development is centered in distinct neighborhoods that
are safe, secure, and have identities and characters of their own. Opportunities for
socializing, recreation, quiet and solitude are all close at hand, as are facilities and
events that enrich the body, mind, and spirit."
The Future Needs Assessment of the Comprehensive Plan housing element contains
8 key findings:
• Approximately 460 acres of currently undeveloped land will be needed to
' accommodate the projected housing unit growth during the next 20 years;
• There exists a shortage of land appropriately zoned for multi-family
development;
• Few affordable housing opportunities exist for first time home buyers and
' potential homeowners in both low and middle income ranges;
• At current rents, housing affordability is an issue for a majority of Port
Townsend households with incomes below the median income;
• Protection of existing affordable housing stock is needed;
' • Existing housing stock may fall into disrepair as higher proportions of income
are expended for basic housing costs;
■ A need exists for a significant number of emergency, transitional, and
permanent housing units to serve the city's special needs populations; and
' • Local employment growth has not kept pace with population growth, leading to
a chronic labor surplus, depressed wages, and contributing to the affordable
housing problem.
' The goals, policies, and implementation strategy of the city's housing element seek
to address the housing issues identified by these key findings and guide future
housing development in Port Townsend.
' Housing sundly
Goal 1: Provide an adequate supply of housing for residents of all income groups,
including sufficient housing affordable to low and moderate income groups.
' Policy 1.l: Provide sufficient, suitably-zoned vacant land for development of all
housing types to accommodate the future needs for each type of housing,
including single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes.
Policy 1.2: Designate at least 10.5 acres of additional undeveloped land for multi-
family use on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and subsequent zoning map
to ensure an adequate supply of land for higher density residential use. Encourage
the integration of multi-family housing developments in locations that are
' compatible with existing neighborhoods.
Policy 1.3: Rezone areas near public facilities and services, commercial services,
arterials and jobs for higher density residential use.
Housing affordability
Goal 2: Promote affordable housing throughout all geographic and economic
segments of the community.
A-4
Appendix A: Comprehensive plan goals and policies
Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
' Policy 2.1: Encourage the provision of affordable housing by designating more
land area for higher density housing.
Policy 2.2: Evaluate existing land use regulations and identify measures to increase
the variety of affordable housing types throughout Port Townsend. Examples of
potential code revisions include: smaller single-family lot sizes; more liberal
allowance of single-family attached dwellings (i.e., duplexes, triplexes and
fourplexes); and accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
' 2.2.1: Offer incentives to developers and home builders who provide
housing for low and moderate income households, such as: density bonuses:
waivers for impact fees and system development charges (SDCs); and priority
permit processing procedures.
2.2.2: In order to provide lower cost housing, consider permitting
affordable housing "demonstration projects" in which development Standards may
be negotiated without sacrificing public health and safety.
Policy 2.3: Consider all available local, county, state, and federal funding
opportunities and private resources in the development of affordable housing and
participate in countywide coordination of affordable housing related plans and
programs.
' Policy 2.4: Develop and maintain an inventory of surplus public lands that may be
suitable to nonprofit housing providers for affordable housing. Consider affordable
housing needs and opportunities associated with inventoried surplus public lands
' before disposing of them.
Policy 2.5: Provide utility rate assistance to low income populations.
Policy 2.6: Monitor and assess the effectiveness of the goals, policies and
implementation steps of this element through the Planning Commission.
Housing condition
Goal 3: Conserve and improve the city's existing housing stock.
Policy 3.1: Assist in the reduction of utility costs by increasing access to
weatherization services.
.1.1: Facilitate the expansion of existing weatherization activities.
3.1.2: Assist the Jefferson County Housing Authority and the Community
Action Council in the development of a minor home repair program, funded
through state administered block grant funds, or the State Housing Assistance
Program.
Policy 3.2: Assist homeowners with housing in poor or fair condition in gaining
access to resources for repair or renovation of their homes.
3.2.1: Support efforts of the Jefferson County Housing Authority and the
Community Action Council to obtain Housing Preservation Grant Program funding
for the repair and rehabilitation of dwellings for low income renters and owners.
3.2.2: Identify neighborhoods and areas of the city most in need of
rehabilitation assistance and infrastructure improvements. To the extent possible,
' coordinate public investments in capital infrastructure with rehabilitation efforts.
Housing types
Goal 4: Promote a variety of housing choices to meet the needs of Port Townsend
' residents and to preserve and encourage socioeconomic diversity.
Policy 4.1: Encourage the integration of a mix of housing types, densities and
costs suitable for a population diverse in age, income, household composition, and
individual needs.
' A-5
Appendix A: Comprehensive plan goals and policies
' Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
4.1.1: Allow attached single-family dwelling units (i.e., duplexes, triplexes
and fourplexes) in all single-family residential zones, provided that the base density
requirements for the zone are not exceeded.
4.1.2: Amend the zoning code to allow manufactured homes (that meet the
HUD Code) on single-family lots in all residential zones, except the National
Register Historic District, provided manufactured housing complies with the
requirements of the Washington State Energy Code for single-family homes, or its
equivalent. It is not the intent of this plan to promote the development of
traditional mobile home parks. Instead, the intent is to recognize manufactured
' housing as a legitimate housing choice that should be made available to Port
Townsend residents.
4.1.3: Permit accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in all residential zones,
providing zoning code requirements are satisfied.
1 Policy 4.2: Encourage innovation and variety in housing design and site
development and support unique and sustainable community housing projects
such as: co-housing; planned unit developments (PUDs); "grow" home and cottage
home developments; and cluster developments that offer an alternative to the city's
prevailing grid pattern.
4.2.1: Encourage clustering and small lot PUDs in order to retain open
space and promote the construction of affordably priced attached single-family
' houses.
4.2.2: Offer density bonuses to builders who provide low-income housing
in market rate developments. Link the amount of bonuses to the level of
affordability (i.e.. the lower the cost or rental rate per unit, the greater the bonus).
' Grant density bonuses only in instances where all of the following conditions are
satisfied:
a. The developer agrees to sell or rent the units to qualifying
residents (i.e., low income and very low income households);
b. The developer ensures the continued affordability of the units
for a minimum of 40 years; and
c. The units are of an innovative design and compatible with
existing neighborhood character.
1 4.2.3: Develop and implement standards that encourage innovative
housing design while ensuring compatibility with existing neighborhoods (e.g.,
standards for zero lot line development; and design standards for multi-family and
attached single-family developments).
Policy 4.3: Encourage multi-family development in mixed use areas that
accommodate both residential and commercial uses, and in areas adjacent to
commercial and manufacturing zones.
4.3.l: Include within the comprehensive land use plan and zoning code
mixed use zones to encourage a co-mingling of residential and commercial uses in
certain select areas.
4.3.2: Encourage adaptive reuse of the upper floors of historic buildings in
the downtown for permanent housing and artist studios live/work situations.
Policy 4.4: Allow group homes in all residential zones in the community. Set
zoning standards that ensure the size of a group home (i.e., number of residents
and staff) is compatible with zoned densities and available transportation and
' services.
Policy 4.5: Promote home ownership by encouraging alternatives to conventional
detached single-family housing, such as: condominiums; attached single-family
units; townhouses; and "grow" and cottage homes.
Low income and special needs populations
Goal S: Identify locations for and facilitate the development of housing
' opportunities for low income and special needs populations.
A-6
Appendix A: Comprehensive plan goals and policies
' Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan

' special needs housing funds.
Policy 5.2: Encourage the development of new, innovative and high quality, rent-
assisted housing by aggressively pursuing grant funds from state funds, donations
t from private individuals and organizations, public revenue sources, and other
available financing.
Policy 5.3: Integrate special needs and low income housing developments
' throughout the community.
Policy 5.4: Consistent with state and federal law, regulate residential structures
occupied by persons with handicaps the same as residential structures occupied by
' a family or other unrelated persons.
Policy 5.5: Consistent with state and federal law, regulate residential structures
occupied by group care for children the same as similar residential structures
' occupied by families or other unrelated persons. "
lobs/housing balance
Goal 6: To promote a greater balance between housing and employment
' opportunities.
Policy 6.1: Recognize that an adequate supply of affordable housing is directly
linked to economic development.
' Policy 6.2: In response to demand and need, change certain land use designations
from residential to mixed use, commercial or manufacturing to expand Port
Townsend's tax and employment base.
' Policy 6.3: Implement the Economic Development Element of this Plan in order to
provide "family wage"jobs in Port Townsend.
' Policy 6.4: Coordinate with Jefferson County to provide a regional economic
development strategy which integrates "fair share" housing supply policies with
economic growth.
' Phasing of housing growth
Goal 7: Encourage higher density residential development within the city limits with
gradual phasing outward from the urban core.
Policy 7.l: Locate higher density residential designations in areas of the city that
' have the infrastructure and services to support high density housing. In areas
designated for higher density residential development that are not presently served
with public facilities and utilities, phase the provision of infrastructure in a manner
consistent with policy 2.5 of the Capital Facilities Sc. Utilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.

Policy 7.2: Reference the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan and
' consider transportation impacts when making decisions affecting the location and
density of housing.
Policy 7.3: Reference the Capital Facilities and Utilities Element of the
' Comprehensive Plan and consider the impact of housing decisions on capital
improvements planning.
Permit processing/regulatory reform
' Goal 8: Facilitate predictable and timely permit processing.
Policy 8.1: Investigate relaxed Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements for
renovating or otherwise preparing older buildings for occupancy. Ensure that
' minimum health and safety standards are met without requiring full UBC
compliance.
Policy 8.2: Revise and consolidate regulations and permitting processes to foster
' predictability and remove uncertainty for builders and lenders.
Policy 8.3: When revising the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) to implement
the Comprehensive Plan, identify and eliminate unnecessarily expensive or difficult
development standards (e.g., review, and consider revisions to residential street,
stormwater, and utility requirements).
Policy 8.4: In reviewing and revising the Port Townsend Municipal Code to
1 implement the Comprehensive Plan, balance the need to promote housing
affordability with the need to require development-related improvements that
adequately protect public health and safety while reducing long-term operations
and maintenance costs to the City.
Policy 8.5: Encourage lenders to make financing available for innovative housing
(e.g., housing in upper stories of historic buildings, co-housing projects, accessory
dwelling units (ADUs), and "grow" and cottage homes).
:A.5 Port Townsend residential policies
In addition to the goals and policies outlined in the housing element, the
Comprehensive Plan defines the following goals within the land use element for
residential lands:
Residential Lands
' Goal 7: Accommodate the population growth objectives for the City of Port
Townsend and further the objectives of the Housing Element of the Comprehensive
Plan.
' Policy 7.1: Assure a wide range of housing opportunities throughout the entire
community, while preserving and creating distinct residential neighborhoods.
Policy 7.2: Locate medium and high density housing in areas of the community
' most suitable for such uses, based on consideration of environmentally sensitive
areas, the availability of existing services, public utilities and facilities, and
transportation facilities.
' Policy 7.3: Allow manufactured homes (that meet the HUD Code) on single-family
lots in all residential zones except the National Register Historic District, provided
that they comply with the requirements of the Washington State Energy Code for
single-family homes, or its equivalent. The intent of this policy is to recognize
manufactured housing as a legitimate housing choice for Port Townsend residents.
(Note:The Port Townsend National Register Historic District is recognized
as containing some of the West's major Victorian architectural resources.
Manufactured housing is an incompatible use in this area).
' A-8
Appendix A: Comprehensive plan goals and policies
' Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
Policy 7.4: Require medium and high density housing developments be served with
streets of sufficient capacity to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion.
Policy 7.5: Ensure implementing regulations allow experimentation in .newer forms
of residential development where clustering, density bonuses, and other incentives
help to achieve affordable housing and open space goals.
Policy 7.6: (a) Develop performance standards to ensure that home occupations
' maintain or enhance the character of existing residential neighborhoods; and
(b.) consider establishing a conditional use permit (CUP) requirement for other
commercial uses not permitted outright under the Home Occupation Code that
might be made compatible with the primary use and character of residential
neighborhoods through the CUP review and approval process.
Policy 7.7: Encourage accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and other innovative
techniques for providing affordable housing.
' Policy 7.8: As funding becomes available, develop neighborhood parks in higher
density locations where the need is greatest.
Policy 7.9: Encourage higher density residential development in areas where the
existing development patterns or terrain are conducive to walking, bicycling, and
frequent transit service.
' Policy 7.10: Encourage well designed infill development through density bonuses
and by allowing innovative lot configurations.
Policy 7.11: Establish maximum housing densities for residential districts, and
minimum densities for the highest density multi-family residential district. Establish
a variety of densities for residential areas to accommodate a variety of lifestyles
and income levels.
Policy 7.12: Disperse multi-family housing and special needs housing throughout
the city rather than in isolated developments. Facilitate the development of this
housing by designating and zoning smaller multi-family residential districts in
many locations. Encourage building design and landscaping that will help this
housing blend into or improve the neighborhood.
Policy 7.13: Accommodate higher density residential uses in well designed mixed
use centers to promote more efficient land use, support transportation facilities,
and ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods.
Policy 7.14: Discourage the conversion of residential areas to nonresidential uses.
Prevent the encroachment of commercial uses into residential zones, except for:
(a) A limited amount of small scale, compatible commercial uses within
neighborhood commercial areas that are located within walking distance of all
homes in a neighborhood, that serve and enhance the neighborhoods where they
are located, and are spaced at least one-half mile from any existing commercial
district;
(b) A limited amount of small scale commercial uses in mixed use districts,
when developed in conjunction with new housing units;
(c) Home occupations within residential districts, provided the use is
consistent with the primary residential use, and compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
Policy 7.15: Promote increased densities and alternative housing types in all
residential neighborhoods through design standards that reinforce the character of
single-family residential districts and assure multi-family developments integrate
with and enhance the neighborhoods in which they are permitted.

The following population statistics were derived from the 1900-2000 US census
reports and Washington State Office of Financial Management(OFM) for the nation,
' state, region, and county.
The population forecasts for Jefferson County, Port Townsend, Tri-Area UGA, Port
Ludlow MPR, and rest of county were developed and reported by the Jefferson
County Community Development Department in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. The
county and area 2024 forecasts were developed to match OFM's estimated growth
for the county area - a number considered to be somewhat conservative in light of
recent events.

Decades
As shown in the annual rates of change, all Washington State jurisdictions rates of
' change declined from the high rates of change during the early immigration years
of 1900. Annual rates of change were significant, but lower in Jefferson County and
Port Townsend then was common in Washington State and Puget Sound(Pierce,
King, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties)during 1900-1910 - than became negative
during the out-migrations of 1910-1920.
All Washington State jurisdictions increased in population growth during World War
ll, particularly Jefferson County and Port Townsend that had rates of change higher
than the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound.
Jefferson County and Port Townsend had negative growth rates in the 7950-7960S
compared with the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound- then rebounded to
annual rates of growth in the years since that were equal to or higher than the US,
Washington State, and Puget Sound.
Between the years 2000-2005, annual rates of change were higher in Jefferson
County than has been apparent in the US, Washington State, and Puget Sound-and
Port Townsend.

In the 2004 Comprehensive Plan,Jefferson County Community Development
Department forecasts an aggressive annual rate of population change will occur
within Jefferson County at rates higher than will be experienced in the US,
Washington State, and Puget Sound. The forecasts are based on Washington State
Office of Financial Management(OFM)statewide allocations and may be
conservative of the growth potentials actually available to the county.
Within Jefferson County, the Community Development Department expects that the
highest rate of annual growth will occur in the Port Ludlow MPR, then Port
Townsend- with lesser but still high rates of annual growth to occur in the Tri-Area
UGA and rest of county.

! governments.
American Indian Reservation - state
Lands held in trust by state governments for the use and benefit of a given tribe. A

FactFinder from the decennial and economic censuses relative to a particular
geographic area.
Block
A subdivision of a census tract (or, prior to 2000, a block numbering area), a block
is the smallest geographic unit for which the Census Bureau tabulates 100-percent
data. Many blocks correspond to individual city blocks bounded by streets, but
blocks - especially in rural areas - may include many square miles and may have
some boundaries that are not streets. The Census Bureau established blocks
covering the entire nation for the first time in 1990. Previous censuses back to
1940 had blocks established only for part of the nation. Over 8 million blocks are
identified for Census 2000.
Related terms: 100-percent data, Census block, Census geography, Census tract,
' Block group (BG)
A subdivision of a census tract (or, prior to 2000, a block numbering area), a block
group is the smallest geographic unit for which the Census Bureau tabulates
sample data. A block group consists of all the blocks within a census tract with the
same beginning number.
Example: block group 3 consists of all blocks within a 2000 census tract numbering
1 from 3000 to 3999. In 1990, block group 3 consisted of all blocks numbered from
301 to 399Z.
Related terms: Census block, Census geography, Census tract, Sample data
Block numbering area (BNA)
Prior to Census 2000, a statistical subdivision created for grouping and numbering
blocks within a county for which census tracts had not been established. Beginning
with Census 2000, all counties have census tracts, making block numbering areas
unnecessary.
Related term: Census tract
Borough

1 Population and Housing for Puerto Rico.
Census
A complete enumeration, usually of a population, but also of businesses and
commercial establishments, farms, governments, and so forth.
Census (decennial)
The census of population and housing, taken by the Census Bureau in years ending

Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal
' The Census Bureau used a dress rehearsal to provide for operational testing of
procedures and systems in regional census centers, local census offices, and data
capture centers planned for use in Census 2000, including the production of
prototype data products that comply with the requirements of Public Law 94-171.
' The exercise was an opportunity for others to comment on the range of standard
products and their formats. The dress rehearsal also included some procedures and
systems that had not been tested operationally in any prior field or processing
activity. It was conducted in three sites: Sacramento, California; 11 counties in
South Carolina and the city of Columbia; and Menominee County, Wisconsin,
including the Menominee American Indian Reservation.
Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS)
The Census 2000 Supplementary Survey was an operational test conducted as part
of the Census 2000, and used the American Community Survey questionnaire to
collect demographic, social, economic, and housing data from a national sample.
This evaluation study gives the Census Bureau essential information about the
operational feasibility of converting from the long form to the American
Community Survey. The data are for the nation, states, and most cities and
counties above 250,000 population. Researchers will be able to use the Census
2000 Supplementary Survey data as they develop the policy-specific models they
will use once the American Community Survey is fully operational later in the
decade.
The data will be made available in three releases: 1) core tables for 50 states, the
District of Columbia and the nation (Summer 2001); 2) core tables for most

For data from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing and the American
Community Survey for 1996-1998, this refers to the number of children born live to
' women. The item was asked of all women 15 years old and over regardless of
marital status. Stillbirths, stepchildren, and adopted children are excluded from the
number of children ever born. Ever-married women were instructed to include all
children born to them before and during their most recent marriage, children no
longer living, and children living away from home, as well as children who were still
living in the home. Never-married women were instructed to include all children
born to them.
Beginning in 1999, the item on the number of children ever born was deleted in the

' units for sale only by the sum of owner-occupied units and vacant units that are for
sale only, and then multiplying by 100.

' Household
A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit as their usual place
of residence.
' Household size
The total number of people living in a housing unit.
Household type and relationship
Households are classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the
presence of relatives. Examples include: married-couple family; male householder,
no wife present; female householder, no husband present; spouse (husband/wife);
' child; and other relatives.
Householder
The person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned, being

bought, or rented.
' If there is no such person present, any household member 15 years old and over
can serve as the householder for the purposes of the census.
' Two types of householders are distinguished: a family householder and a nonfamily
householder. A family householder is a householder living with one or more people
related to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption. The householder and all
people in the household related to him are family members. A nonfamily
' householder is a householder living alone or with nonrelatives only.
Housing unit
A house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms, or a single
' room occupied as separate living quarters, or if vacant, intended for occupancy as
separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants
live separately from any other individuals in the building and which have direct
access from outside the building or through a common hall. For vacant units, the
criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants
whenever possible.

Imputation
When information is missing or inconsistent, the Census Bureau uses a method
' called imputation to assign values. Imputation relies on the statistical principle of
"homogeneity," or the tendency of households within a small geographic area to be
similar in most characteristics. For example, the value of"rented" is likely to be
imputed for a housing unit not reported on owner/renter status in a neighborhood
' with multi-units or apartments where other respondents reported "rented" on the
census questionnaire.
Income
' "Total income" is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wages, salary,
commissions, bonuses, or tips; self-employment income from own nonfarm or farm
businesses, including proprietorships and partnerships; interest, dividends, net
rental income, royalty income, or income from estates and trusts; Social Security or
' Railroad Retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); any public

Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal. The ICM program was designed to address
irrefutable evidence produced from studies of previous censuses indicating that
' traditional census methods result in difficulties in counting people in certain
demographic groups, specifically minorities and renters. ICM estimates were
obtained using a three-step procedure: Dual System Estimation, Iterative
Proportional Fitting, and Synthetic Estimation.

is used to estimate values of a function between two known values. Pareto
interpolation is an alternative to linear interpolation. In Pareto interpolation, the
median is derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower

Number of establishments
An establishment is a single physical location at which business is conducted
' and/or services are provided. It is not necessarily identical with a company or
enterprise, which may consist of one establishment or more. Economic census
figures represent a summary of reports for individual establishments rather than
companies. For cases where a census report was received, separate information
was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrative
records of other federal agencies were used instead of a census report, no
information was available on the number of locations operated. Each economic
census establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the
' business was conducted. For the 1997 Economic Census data displayed in
American FactFinder, the count of establishments represents those in business at
any time during 1997.
' When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single
ownership, all activities generally were grouped together as a single establishment.
The entire establishment was classified on the basis of its major activity and all
data for it were included in that classification. However, when distinct and separate
economic activities (for which different industry classification codes were
appropriate) were conducted at a single location under a single ownership,
separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in
the census.

Jefferson The Housing Authority of •
' The Housing Authority of Jefferson County UCHA) was established in 1970 to offer
safe, decent, affordable housing to low-income residents of Jefferson County.
Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Housing Authority currently offers the Housing Choice Voucher Program that
provides the participant with the opportunity to choose the type of rental unit and
neighborhood that will meet their interests and needs. Families may also take their
housing assistance with them when they move which enables participants to pursue
employment and educational opportunities, One hundred forty six families benefit
from the Housing Choice Voucher Program though JCHA. '
The recipient of the Housing Choice Voucher has up to two months to find a rental
unit within the JCHA operational boundaries for the size unit for which he/ she is
eligible. The owner/manager of the rental unit then contacts JCHA and is briefed
about the program to determine if he or she wishes to participate.
Program Details
Vouchers in Use - 129
Typical user profile - Households earning below 80%of median income
1 Waiting List Count- 205
Past 10 year voucher trends - Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA) has been
managing JCHA for just over a year. In the past 2 funding cycles JCHA has received
approx. 2%decrease in funds per year.
Future Outlook for voucher program - If the past few years are any indication,
program funds will continue to shrink.
Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program
The TBRA program is funded by the State of Washington's Community, Trade, and
Economic Development Department. It is designed to provide tenant based rental
assistance to homeless families with children and special needs populations. The
JCHA is in partnership with DSHS,Jefferson County Health Department Domestic
Violence sexual assault programs, Port Townsend Community Options, and others.
These partners and the JCHA provide ongoing case management, referrals, and self
sufficiency workshops for participating households.
• Income eligibility is 50%of HUD's median household income for Jefferson
County. The client targeted groups are:
• Foster Children, ages 18-20, who are transitioning to independence,
• Farm workers who are seeking permanent year round rental housing,
1 • Households transitioning to self-sufficiency,
■ Pregnant and parenting emancipated youth,
• Special needs populations, including but not limited to people with mental
illness or developmental disabilities, people recovering from alcohol or
' substance abuse, and people with AIDS.
Program Details
Typical user profile - homeless and participating in case management services
' through OlyCAP, WorkFirst,Jefferson Mental Health,Jefferson County Public Health,
Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Program, or Forks Abuse program.

Past 10 year voucher trends - BHA has been managing JCHA for just over a year. In
' the 2 funding cycles I have been involved with the funding has remained stable-we
have been funded for 26 vouchers both years.
Future Outlook for voucher program -The program has become increasingly more
r difficult to run because we must commit to serve homeless households. Due to the
transient nature of homeless households, it is difficult to find households who are
homeless and participating in case management services as required by TBRA.
In terms of funding, we are hopeful the funding will continue at its same level
' however funds are determined by Congress each year so there is no way to predict
how much funding will be available in the future.
Family Self Sufficiency Program
The JCHA's Family Self Sufficiency(FSS) program is designed to help families obtain
employment that will lead to economic independence. Sponsored by HUD, the FSS
Program works with welfare agencies, schools, businesses, and other local partners
to develop a comprehensive program that gives participating FSS family members
' the skills and experience to enable them to obtain employment that pays a living
wage.
An interest-bearing FSS escrow account is established for each participating family,
and when the family earned income rises, instead of raising the rent, the Housing
Authority deposits the corresponding amount into the savings account. When the
savings goal is reached, the FSS family uses the money for a down payment on a
house or a car or for tuition.
1 In 2004,JCHA's FSS Program had 15 active participants, and 16 of those have
escrow account balances. Many of the FSS participants in JCHA's program
completed goals that move them closer to self-sufficiency, including 5 who are no
' longer using public assistance.
Program Details
Program partners -JCHA is in the process of forming a Program Coordinating
' Committee. There are currently no official partners however we hope to have this
new group formed by the summer of 2006.
Families currently in the program - 25
Waiting List Count - 0
Future outlook for the program - The FSS program has continued to be funded at
the same level over the past year.

Habitat Humanity
Jean Camfield, Cameron McPhearson, Deb Wiese, David Rymph
Formed eight years ago, Habitat For Humanity of East Jefferson County
(www.habitatewc.org/index.htm) finished their first house in May 1999. Since then,
they have built 13 homes, one is nearly completed. These are now homes for 24
children (many are classed as handicapped) and 17 adults.
Homes are located from Brinnon (1), Irondale/Had lock(3), with the balance in Port
Townsend. Five people are waiting in the pipeline for a home with one scheduled to
start this summer. This project will be located in the Tree House subdivision. The
board is committed to building two homes per year.
Five years ago, Habitat purchased a block of property on 20`h street. Access
required an additional investment of$60K. Further improvements are required to
reach all potential building lots. There are a total of eight lots on this parcel.
1 Funding for these projects comes from the Thrift Store that Habitat owns and
operates. They purchased the building at their current location along Sims Road,
which houses both their storefront and their administrative offices. Eventually, the
upstairs will be a transitional housing unit as well.
Applicants must meet the pre-qualification requirements for a Habitat home. Once
approved and constructed with cash investment, volunteer labor and materials, and
sweat equity, the title is transferred and a no-interest loan is provided. In addition,
there is a 2 nd DOT filed by Habitat "clouding the title" to assure that the property
remains affordable.
An agreement is made with the owners that if they move or sell the home in less
than five years, Habitat receives all the appreciated value. After the five-year period,
1 the owner receives a greater share of the equity until at 20 years, they own the
home free & clear. Habitat retains a first right of refusal on all homes.
IA Rural Development
' Patrice Varela-Daylo
Based out of Clallam County, USDA Rural Development covers three counties:
' Clallam,Jefferson and Kitsap. The typical programs utilized are:
■ Single family direct loan program for purchase
■ Interest Subsidy: Housing subsidized interest rate can reduce a typical current
rate of 6.75%to I%if the need is evident.
■ 504 program for repair- For low-income owners - a 1% loan for up to 20 years
■ Guarantee rural housing (GRH) program (not a lot of volume) from which they
receive a credit. This program is processed through Olympia- Carlotta Donisi
(360-704-7706). Allows 100%financing, rates and terms are negotiated and no
mortgage insurance is required.
■ Self-Help Program has been in place since 1997 and has been the driving force
for the office. The first project in Jefferson County was in 1998 in Port
Townsend. Eight houses have been built since then. This program works
through Kitsap Housing Authority who get the grant for preliminary screening
for eligibility and pre-packaging. Decisions are made locally. Hamilton Heights
is the site for several homes built in phases. By summer 2006 approximately
' D-12

30 homes will have been completed. A final group of 10 homes are in
' application stage at this time.
■ Cooperative Housing: Eco-Village in Port Townsend (32n1 and San Juan) is being
explored
■ They have targeted areas to focus on. In Jefferson County: Quilcene, Brinnon
' and Hadlock. In Clallam county, it is the west end.
■ Partnerships are key with these programs. Some of them include:
■ Down payment assistance through Kitsap Consolidated Housing Authority

The low-income housing tax credit is an incentive program created to encourage
the construction or rehabilitation of buildings for low-income tenants. It provides a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in tax liability to property owners and investors who

Fannie Mae is a shareholder-owned company with a mission to expand
homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income families and to make
' the cost of mortgage credit as affordable as possible.
Fannie Mae's makes sure mortgage money is available in all communities. Fannie
Mae does not lend money directly to home buyers. Instead, they operate in the
secondary market, providing lenders with a reliable supply of capital to serve the
needs of home buyers and affordable housing development.
Fannie Mae does this primarily in two ways. First, Fannie Mae purchases mortgage
loans that lenders make to home buyers, re-supplying lenders with capital, which
e they can use to make additional loans. They also package pools of mortgages with
similar characteristics into mortgage backed securities, which lenders, in turn, can
sell to investors on Wall Street and throughout the world. In addition, Fannie Mae
works with lenders to develop new mortgage initiatives, investments and business
e strategies that help lenders and other housing partners expand opportunities for
affordable housing. Check directly with Fannie Mae.

' Community Land Trusts either rehabilitate existing
housing or build new units. The trust retains ownership
Ir -'� of the land(99-year renewal lease) while selling the
'=" P house to a moderate income, first-time buyer that could
not otherwise afford to purchase a home. In the
process, buyers gain equity(though at a slower rate
than usual) and the community gains a home that will
always be affordable.
±, Land trusts offer an advantage over most subsidized
r � , housing - they bring diverse groups together to
*} collaborate in decision-making. The project is governed
by a board composed of land trust residents, other
Lopez Community Land Trust- Morgantown homeowners from the surrounding community, and
stakeholders such as foundation officials.
There are estimated to be between 125-175 land trust
operating nationwide at the present time ranging from
as few as 8 units to more than 800 units. The defining
characteristics are the separation of land and housing,
and the homeowner representation on the board.
Land trusts calculate the homeowner's share of an
increase in equity over time. The trust typically awards

ANT': the seller 100%of the principal that has been paid

also receive 100%of the appraised value of any capital
improvements, and 25%of the property's appreciation
based on a comparison of appraisals at the time of
1 w1ru , purchase and sale. The formula provides the seller
some benefit, the new buyer often pays close to the
W same price as the seller originally did, and the trust
Lopez Community Land Trust - Innisfree ends up with a considerably larger subsidy than it had
the first time around.
For example, consider a homeowner whose house cost
$100,000 but who received a subsidyof$20,000, and
who decides to sell 10 years later. If the house is
appraised at $180,000, the seller receives $105,000:
z
the original $80,000 mortgage, another $20,000 for
the 25%of the $80,000 increase in value, plus about

$5,000 for the principal pay-down over the 10 years.
` The trust can then sell to a new buyer for the same

Appendix i Plan
In July 2006 a random sample of resident registered voter households in,Jefferson
County were contacted to participate in a controlled sample survey concerning
housing conditions, needs, and program and project priorities.
' 300 households agreed to participate in the survey and were mailed a copy of a
summary description of the plan and a copy of the questionnaire. Survey results
were compiled for the first 134 households who completed the surveys by follow-up
' telephone call - the number planned for in the original survey scope - of which 37%
were male and 63% were female.
The resulting survey results are accurate to within 10+/- percent of the opinions of
the general population (the statistics are rounded and may not add to 100 percent
and do not list don't know responses). The statistics also account for undecided, did
not know, or refused a response. Following is a summary of the results for the total

Possible housing program approoches
Port Townsend and Jefferson County have initiated a number of actions to manage rising
' housing costs and the impact of growth. Such actions include measures that cluster
housing to reduce site development costs; allow innovative housing and mixed use
projects to increase site efficiencies and reduce commuting costs; adopt design and
development standards to improve the quality of the housing product and neighborhood -
' to name a few. In addition, the city and county have also amended codes to allow
accessory dwelling units, cottage or small lot houses, duplex and townhouses, mobile and
manufactured housing products that increase choice and provide a wider variety of
' purchase and rental options.
In addition to the measures listed above, the city, county, non-profit, and for profit
housing market participants could also adopt some of the following measures to manage
1 cost, increase choice, and provide housing. Each one of these program approaches will
involve costs to the public in some manner, some approaches costing more than others,
and some programs having more impacts than others. Based on what you have reviewed
at this open house, how would you prioritize the following possible program approaches?

As described above, a housing action entity could assume a proactive role in Port
Townsend and Jefferson County by packaging properties or acquiring land, creating
housing plans, mitigating environmental and community impacts, and then conducting
competitions whereby the nonprofit and private market builds and delivers housing of
most need and interest to county residents. How would you rate the following prototype

Comments
Do you have any specific comments or recommendations to make about the housing
action plan or this survey?
■ This survey is worded to promote an agenda. We do not need more
bureaucracy. Let the market decide what is needed. The low income housing
clusters promote crime.
■ Jefferson County should not subsidize any form of housing or development
increasing population has resulted in corresponding increases taxes and
decrease quality of life.
■ I think the objective is affordable housing for young families. I think a priority
should be to expand and improve sewage treatment facilities, replace septic
1 systems, expand roads infrastructure.
■ 1 felt like needed more information. Thought difficult to prioritize because did
not know definition.
■ Make building codes more flexible to allow for environmental efficiency, and
environmental beneficial interventions, such as straw bale construction,
composting toilets, use of solar and wind power. Preserve existing open spaces
for aesthetic, recreational, and especially for food production such as
community gardens.

,Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
■ Encourage low income condos or cottages. Utilize modular housing unit with
Homeowner's Association to provide landscape and maintenance. Low income
families and elderly largest problem in this area.
■ On Questions 93 to 96 just the fact that building materials are going up, that
doesn't mean housing costs will not decrease. The county needs to provide
higher paying jobs. I find it very strange that the largest county with the least
population in the whole state wants to put high density housing for residents. I
live in Port Ludlow and I have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest grocery store.
Has Jefferson County ever considered a shopping complex on 104 and Highway
19 intersection?
■ Low income housing should be throughout the area not just in one area.
■ A sewer system in the Tri Area is desperately needed in order to develop a
housing action plan.
■ Building your own house involves a very good program.
■ Basically opposed government in housing market. Should determine who lives
where--tax subsidies do not work in the long run
■ Education.
■ Long-term view sustainable energy especially USDA housing program currently
use does not utilize smaller. Require smaller housing in rural areas be flexible,
street lights, pavement, sidewalks, and road width.
■ Do infill hope cluster common wall project will take hold
■ You it did not adequately address for homelessness. This result for rising cost
and lack for affordable housing.
' ■ It was eye opening, learned a lot there, it was educational.
■ It is good idea to plan for development.
■ As long as current politicians are opposed to business growth and development.
Prevails the lack of economic slice. Employment opportunity will only serve to
exacerbate housing costs. Slice availability problem government finance low
cost housing project are not the solution.
• This questionnaire asks a question--issues that are complex and to which I have
limited information many of my answers are informed to do not reinvent make
sure any plan being.
■ Seriously consider--has successful track record in other communities.
■ Structure of some of the questionnaires had multiple variables, so they were
impossible to answer. It seemed as though some questions were skewed
against people who were more recent arrivals to community. I am sympathetic
for low-cost housing. I am not confident that you are going to get the kind of
answers to this questionnaire that you will need justify low-income housing
program.
■ I do not feel like well enough to participate in this survey.
• Public view depleted.

Appendix G-2: Mail-out/Phone-back Survey

■ 1 like to keep town more like it is. Do not want to look like every town in
America.
■ Not sure of the impact of some of the development codes.
■ Page 4 possible housing program approaches references, reviewed at open
house--nothing has been reviewed. Question 97 Rural Village centers does not
mention access to public facilities and services and the lack of this could affect
people's response to the question. Nothing addresses public transportation
ability and this is a very important part of the problem as well as the solution.
Question 31 does not include repairs or preventive maintenance of
transportation which can be a large part of a monthly cost and or be budgeted
I for. Question 20, mortgages could be variable payment time, 15 versus 20
years, and this will impact the current payment.
■ Yes county tax base is being spent in Silverdale and Poulsbo. We need income,
1 and we need something besides property tax to support this county. We need
jobs. Rural area is okay, but there no is no police. Closest police station is in
Hadlock. Fire department is volunteer. Medical is limited. Traffic on two-lane
road is ridiculous. Pollution is on the increase and shopping a minimum of 25
miles away. The county needs sewer systems, parks and this all takes tax
dollars. Housing is quite simple no job, no income, no house.
■ If they do any building, train local people in the area in the building area and
provide some incentive for builders to do this so we can provide local jobs.
■ Too technical 50 though 96. Never attended open house, referred to on Page 4-
' -possible housing program approaches.
■ Good ideas but I fear most of these good ideas will be utilized by Port Townsend
not South County. I feel that priority needs to be South County first then
Hadlock, and last Port Townsend. Need to increase jobs in South County and
Port Hadlock. If we do that in Port Townsend, I feel that it will have the opposite
affect we are trying for by enabling more people to move there thus driving up
the cost of housing. There needs to be an emphasis on creating infrastructure
in South County. Specifically sewers, city water and increased police. Housing
developments to be mixed income, otherwise they become bad housing projects
like Garden court and Port Hadlock. Certain income guide lines to get the
priority housing.
■ It is clear that we need some type of affordable housing and respectable basic
housing and I understand to achieve that it will take time, money and
community cooperation.
■ 1 think it is a ridiculous idea to think of building low-cost, high-density housing
in Brinnon and Quilcene. Where are these people going to work? There are no
jobs there and with the price of gas, they can't commute. Our local government
should not be controlling the housing market. They should be bringing in some
job opportunities so people can afford housing here.
■ Only that government does not have too much control.
■ I think they should let people do more with their property then current
regulations allow. Right now there is way too much red tape to do anything.
■ We need more multifamily housing in Pt. Townsend. We need housing for older
people, easy maintenance, multifamily needs well insulated walls, and not near
G-21
Appendix G-2: Mail-out/Phone-back Survey
Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
busy streets. Older people do not want playground because it is too noisy we
need more duplex condominiums townhouses and multistory buildings.
' ■ Let the market set the prices. I think that the zoning is week. It needs strong
design standards and codes. I think the infrastructure needs are very high. The
housing action plan should be setup so that only 10 percent of allocated units
are set aside for reduced income waivers.
■ This is way too long--it looses power, interest and becomes confused and
therefore it probably its validity.
■ 1 am suspicious of the bureaucracy that will grow with this housing plan--too
much power in the hands of few will lead to agree corruption.
■ 1 do not think county and city is responsible for the cost of housing and that
over involvement will be waste of time especially financial responsibility
although resource person could be very valuable and the best thing they could
1 do is promote business and education.
■ I was glad to see the survey, and we recently rented two rental places: one at
$400 a month and the other is $925 a month. We got maybe 35 calls on the
1 first one and 3 on the second. You might be interested in our house. It's six
years old, 780 square feet, and mortgage is $400 a month. Altogether it costs
$60,000 to bring it about. Come see it.
■ 1 thought that there was too many good ideas competing. I felt that you either
need to do a follow up after you eliminate some of these, or have some focus
groups or something like that to get this down because it just covers too much.
■ The time is upon us. It is already becoming unaffordable. It is incumbent upon
us to do something so that our kids can buy houses.
' ■ On Q.37, housing is cheaper because there are no jobs. On Q.41 not true in
this area because I don't see that happening here in the Brinnon area. On Q.50,
I think one of the best and proven ways for this statement to be true would be
to lower taxes. That stimulates the economy. On Q.51 through Q.54, they are
not cost effective. On Q.75 this question makes no sense. On Q.68 if they are
built inexpensively. Q.70 I don't think it's applicable to the Brinnon area. Q.71
also not applicable and too expensive. Q.82 basically bottom line is--it costs
money. Q.89 basically bottom line is--it costs money. Q.95 they can reduce
housing costs if they can reduce tax.
■ It is a formidable oversized committee funded to require compliance.
i ■ Did not understand concept. I found neo-traditional project is too large--four to
six row houses--rows work well on contiguous lot in town
■ Do not like clustering large population addition. Density is a problem--too close
proximity of people psychological and sociological problems--too many people
in a small space is a problem.
■ Some is good, most is bad and it will increase property tax to pay for it. Should
be the property owner be able to sell property or build houses. What you want
without city saying is what you can do with property
■ We do not need housing bureaucracy because of inflation in the housing
market.

Appendix G-2: Mail-out/Phone-back Survey
1 Jefferson County/Port Townsend Housing Action Plan
■ There are many reasons for the high cost of housing, in this area. Number one
market forces, desirable community. #2 development costs-fees-permits and
1 hoops to jump through. #3 material costs and labor, labor being reflective of
the initial cost of living in the area, full circle space in Port Townsend (housing)
is a very limited commodity and therefore priced accordingly. Growth has its
natural boundaries, limits, ideas of affordable housing (is still affordable for the
rich or wealthy) "healthy growth oxymoronic."
■ Frankly too many questions that involve what I do not know about and would
' require too much paper work than you have the staff to handle.
■ No discussion of the mixed commercial and residential developments against
putting that kind of thing in residential areas.
■ Building in Port Ludlow should be limited high dollar demand on infrastructure
without contributing to county for the most part.
■ Wish I knew more about all of it. Do not know enough about the housing
situation in Jefferson County. Know that the housing is a problem, need more
families, more jobs, more businesses.
1 ■ Prefer to mail back.
■ Realtors overpricing everything and that overprices the market. Average or
better, high end.
■ Billing code should be collective verses reactive moratorium on building is OK in
order to maintain quality of life here in the first place should be a priority.
' ■ As befalls such surveys the topic of each question is a very complex issue. My
answer to most questions is a 3; to me a 3 answer means that I have questions
about the consequences that are not really clear.
t1 am not sure if I understood purpose of all questions. I believe city and county
need to limit restriction and cost of building and developing home basically
permit cost are making housing unaffordable.
■ Questions regarding survey sample.
■ Manufactured homes--not all states have overseeing additions or changes to
manufacture homes. Most states have building department overseeing those
changes.
1 ■ Build a shopping center close by somewhere.
■ Too much emphasis on government and too little on individual being
responsible. Too much emphasis on socialistic and too little on letting free
enterprise system decide what is best.
■ Urban squalor is pathetic, needs to be cleaned up. Permit costs are high which
makes it hard to build and we can not build yet because of the costs. Q. 99 not
sure of what they are talking about. Q. 62 with proper training and standards to
fit our location. Q. 32 because of the fuel and location, constructions costs are
too high which makes it difficult for people.
■ Only reason I am in the house I own is I inherited this, and would not be able to
buy this on her own. Road work shouldn't be her responsibility, county should
G-23

do this and taken care of. Sewer lids open not always covered, should be taken
care of; could be a danger to children. Whole land trust is a pretty good idea.
L ■ The gross management act defined lot size in the county must be adhered with.
This is a free market economy and real estate is not only a home but also an
investment. Just because some one wants to live here doesn't mean they can.
Pave county roads.
■ Reduce time for Section 5 housing. Mentally ill have trouble getting into Section
8. Make it easier to get into Section 8. If person on payee basis, other person
responsible and should be allowed in Section 8. Should allow the big markets
outside Port Townsend to provide local jobs and need the places to shop
Question 92 not clear, public money out of taxes or personal volunteer money.
Out of taxes $100 plus, personal $5.00.

Site conditions
Designated rural village density housing sites
are located within the rural village center
districts next to schools, shopping, and major
roadways. Septic limitations have delayed
development of these sites.
' Prototype
The prototypical approach creates a clustered
development of duplex units organized in a
courtyard focused on a common green serving
as a community drainfield.
The concept can be expanded to provide
additional clusters focused on common or
' parkway courtyards as sewer treatment
solutions allow.
The backyards and end of the common spaces
collect and process stormwater run-off. The
CaasaWMtydrM^/kid central portion of the common area would be
developed with visitor parking and play
equipment for resident children.
' Strategies

■ Community Land Trust - where a trust
owns the land or development rights and leases
the land selling the units sometimes with
discounted mortgages. The residents may sell
their units receiving some return on their
investments. A formula provides a resident seller
equity appreciation while maintaining the units
within a purchase range that remains affordable
over the future.
USDA Rural Development - where the USDA
helps provide sewer and water infrastructure,
