DIRECTOR'S FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION
Date: May 21, 2004
Subject: Minor Conditional Use Permit Application #LUP04-042
Applicants: Robert and G. Leticia Huber
Establishment of a Two-Unit Tourist Home
After respectful consideration of the above-referenced application, the Director of Building and
Community Development makes the following findings, conclusions, and decision.
Findings of Fact
1.
Application has been made to establish a two-unit tourist home in an existing singlefamily
dwelling. A conditional use permit is required to establish a tourist home. A tourist home
must provide the primary residence for the owner or operator while offering guest rooms
for travelers for compensation. Each guest may stay no longer than 29 consecutive calendar
days.
2.
The subject property is located at 1421 Landes Street. It is legally described as Lots 12,
13, and 14, Block 29, Supplementary Plat to the Eisenbeis Addition to the City of Port
Townsend. Tax parcels # 948-302-907 and 948-302-902
3.
The site is located in the R-III zoning district, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential
Zone. Detached single-family residences are also allowed in this zone. Surrounding uses
include single-family residential development, with commercial development nearby; Kah
Tai Lagoon is across the street.
4. The site fronts and the existing driveway exits onto Landes Street, which is designated a
major collector road. The rear ofthe property has access to a gravel alley that bisects Block
29. Landes Street is designated as a Neighborhood Collector on the NonMotorized
Transportation Plan. Landes Street lacks sidewalks or formal trails, but is a frequently used
pedestrian and bicycle route
5.Residential transient homes are required to supply two onsite parking spaces for the
owner's use and one onsite parking space for each guest room (PTMC 17.72080), thus
four off-street parking spaces are required for a two-room tourist home. One tandem
parking space is permitted per single-family residence. (PTMC 17.72.180.D. l)
Huber Minor CUP LUP04-04. Page 2
6.Four off-street parking spaces are generally shown on the revised application site plan
(Exhibit A). While the applicant shows a turnaround area on the driveway asa potential
parking space, the turnaround is too short (16 x 16') to count as a full parking space,
although a compact car could potentially fit there. The driveway is spacious, but although
two cars may be able to park in tandem in the driveway, the second car would extend
partly in the right of way. While this may not be a problem at present, future right-of-
way improvements may render that parking arrangement infeasible.
Additionally, backing onto Landes Street is not encouraged. The applicant also has two
parking spaces accessed from the rear alley; because of tight maneuverability and need to
be familiar with the site to successfully use the parking there, that location is acceptable for
resident parking only.
There is also an existing head in parking area to the north of the residence partly in the
Landes Street right-of-way; that location may be used for onstreet parking if the parking
is parallel. This space provides additional parking to the site, and because there is no
adjacent residential development on the north side of the property, it will usually be
available to the applicants and their guests. Future improvements to Landes Street may
change the amount of onstreet parking available to the site.
7.
Notice of application was published in the local newspaper and posted by the applicant at the
proposal site. No comment letters were received.
8.
The site does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas as defined in Title 19 of the
Port Townsend Municipal Code.
Conclusions
1.
The proposed conditional use has been processed in accordance with the review
requirements set forth in the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC).
2.
The revised site plan shows four parking spaces. The applicant wishes to minimize the
disruption of landscaping and mature trees in the rear parking area. Onsite rear parking is
judged adequate, though not ideal, due to grade changes and access angle. However, in
future the rear parking could be enlarged and further developed by removing a large tree or
developing a separate space accessed from the alley. If parking proves to be problematic or
inadequate, tree removal and/or development of additional parking spaces at the rear of the
property may be required. The rear parking may be used only by the homeowners unless
enlarged and improved.
3.
Under the conditions prescribed below, the location and character of the use will be in
harmony with the area in which it is located. Tourist homes are a conditionally permitted
use in residential districts, and it is not anticipated that loss of property values or excessive
noise, nuisance or traffic will result from approval of this application.
4.
Under the conditions prescribed below, the conditional use will be served by adequate
public facilities including fire protection, water, sanitary sewer, and storm water control.
Huber Minor CUP LUP04-04. Page 3
5.
Under the conditions prescribed below, the conditional use will not be materially
detrimental to uses or property in the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel.
6.
The conditional use has merit and value for the community as a whole.
7.
Under the conditions prescribed below, the conditional use complies with all other
applicable criteria and standards of the Port Townsend Municipal Code and is consistent
with the goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.
8.
Under the conditions prescribed below, the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental
effect.
In consideration of the aforementioned findings and conclusions, the permit is GRANTED FOR A
TWO-UNIT BED & BREAKFAST INN by the Building and Community Development Director
as conditioned.
I. Homeowners shall reserve the driveway for overnight guests when such guests are using the
property. The rear parking area may be used only by the property owners. If parking proves
inadequate, the City may initiate a modification to the conditional use permit per PTMC
17.84.110. In such a case, more development of the parking area at the rear of the property
may be required. Such development may require removal of existing trees or fencing, or
development of a separate additional space. If such improvements are made, the rear parking
area may also be used for guests.
2.
The property owners should consider revising the location of the parking tumaround to
make itßasier to use-for-turning around and avoid backing out onto Landes Street;
3.
Any modifications of the building shall require the appropriate building permits.
4.
The proposed tourist home shall exhibit no outward appearance of a business or of a
nonresidential use, except for signage permitted to conditional uses per PTMC
17.76.040.A.2.
5.
Pursuant to Section 17.08.060 PTMC, the two rooms allocated to the tourist home may be
rented for periods of no more than 29 consecutive calendar days.
6.
This Conditional Use Permit shall not become effective until a city business license has
been obtained.
7.
This Conditional Use Permit shall not become effective until the Fire Department inspects
and approves the proposed tourist home.
8.
This Conditional Use Permit shall not become effective until the Building Inspector has
inspected the proposed tourist home and a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. Heat
source, fire separation, handrails, smoke detectors, high hazards, etc., shall be the subject
of the inspection, in addition to any additional building permit requirements.
9.
The proposed use shall be developed as described in the submitted conditional use
application and in substantial conformance with the attached site plan.
Huber Minor CUP LUP04-04. Page 4
10.
The applicant shall be the occupant of the residence in which the proposed use is allowed.
11.
The proposed use shall comply with these Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Conditions.
In case of any conflict, Conditions shall prevail over Findings in interpreting or applying
the same.
