Adjourn CAY,,f a Townsen PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, in 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture declared that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees; and WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska; and Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and WHEREAS, the City of Port Townsend is a Tree City USA partner committed to effective urban forestry management; and WHEREAS, trees are a source of carbon mitigation. Trees buffer our carbon footprint. They store carbon on timescales relevant to climate change. We need them at least as much as they need us; and WHEREAS, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs with urban canopy, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife; and WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our hearths, and countless other wood products; and WHEREAS, the Arbor Day Foundation and Tree City USA promote the concept of'No Net Loss', so that when trees are lost in a community, they are replaced with 'The Right Tree For The Right Place'; and WHEREAS, trees, parks, trails and open space in our city beautify our community; enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and increase property values; and WHEREAS, trees are a source of joy and renewal; and WHEREAS, autumn is the recommended time to plant trees in our climate and the Governor has declared the month of October to be Urban and Community Forestry Month; NOW, THEREFORE, I, David J. Faber, Mayor of the City of Port Townsend, do hereby proclaim October 8, 2023 as Arbor Day and urge everyone to plant trees for urban canopy, to produce oxygen, and to promote the well-being of this and future generations. David J. Faber, Mayor October 2, 2023 Cityaf rt` Townsen PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the freedom to read is essential to our democracy, and reading is among our greatest freedoms; and WHEREAS, privacy is essential to the exercise of that freedom, and the right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized by others; and WHEREAS, the freedom to read is protected by our Constitution; and WHEREAS, some individuals and groups work to remove or limit access to library materials, to censor content in schools, to label "controversial" views, and to purge libraries of materials reflecting the diversity of society; and WHEREAS, the fear of censorship cause authors who seek to avoid controversy to practice self -censorship, thus limiting our access to new ideas and voices; and WHEREAS, Americans can be trusted to exercise critical judgment, to make their own decisions about what they read and believe, and to exercise the responsibilities that accompany this freedom; and WHEREAS, intellectual freedom is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture; and WHEREAS, the American Library Association's Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the first week of October this year as a reminder to Americans not to take their precious freedom for granted; and WHEREAS, that the City of Port Townsend Public Library encourages free people to read freely, now and forever: NOW, THEREFORE, 1 David J. Faber Mayor of the City of Port Townsend do hereby proclaim October 1-7, 2023 as Banned Books Week. David J.

My Absence this evening. Just a reminder that I'm currently at the ICMA conference in Austin. I'll be meeting with the WA and OR city managers group (at the same time as the City Council meeting), taking in the top notch sessions each day, scouting for talent, and making a presentation of my own as a conference speaker. I return to PT on Wednesday evening. 2. Community Coffee happening this week. I'm meeting all -comers at the Marina Caf6, this Friday, October 6, at gam. People should feel free to just drop in or come with ideas, perspectives or questions, and be prepared to engage in dialogue with me and other residents. 3. Fort Worden PDA MOA signed and new director onboard. I've signed the MOA with the PDA and State Parks and I believe the new Executive Director, Celeste Tell, will be signing this week. Today is her first day in the role and we're eager to work together to overcome challenges and get the Fort on track. The board nomination committee is meeting next week to begin interviewing candidates. Anyone interested in serving on the PDA board can apply online via our website or get in touch with me to learn more. 4. Pool report out with briefing soon. The final Healthier Together report is out (ha !" ) and elected members for each partner organization will be receiving briefings, including you at the 10/16 City Council meeting. The County BOCC received a briefing from Carrie Hite on 9/25 and all partner agency administrators/CEOs were present and contributed to the briefing. Once other partners have been briefed, it'll go back to the County to make a decision since this initiative is regional with impacts and opportunities far beyond where the facility may be built. A sampling of key facts: • The current 60 -year-old pool is likely to fail (again) and won't be able to be retrofitted or repaired for much longer. • We're targeting state, federal, and philanthropic resources to help pay for a modest facility, sited adjacent to the current pool. • Any rebuild will also require a vote of the people to help pay for it. The favored option is a "Public Facilities District" that levies a sales tax that would also draw investment from visitors to PT. We estimate this would cost between $10-40 a year for each resident. Nothing has been decided, but it's likely to be on the ballot mid -2024 at the earliest. • We currently subsidize the pool operations by up to $400,000 a year. S. Library turns 110 next week. It might be hard to believe but the Carnegie Library turns 110 years old next week! Come to the library to celebrate an open house style birthday party. Enjoy live music, library themed crafts, and light refreshments. The party will be in the Carnegie Reading Room from 3:00-5:00pm on Friday, October E=rig nds r..f t!ie IPr..art..FowN�s� send LibN��r for their generous sponsorship of the event. 13.

Thank you also for your dedication and stewardship of our resources in finding the best path for the future of that shared land. I support making the golf course property more accessible to the general public. I support a plan that respects the desires of those who participated earlier in the process.

I want to add my voice to the dissenters. We don't need it and many of us throughout the county do not wish to continue to fund the pet projects of Port Townsend, which includes the proposed aquatic center that we cannot afford. Instead I'd ask that you start to show fiscal accountability for the existing failed projects [Cherry Street comes to mind] before adding another to the pile pushing the city and county closer to bankruptcy. -Jon Georg Port Hadlock From: Trevor Williams To: nu b1iccommentC6citvofot.us Subject: Public comment for 9/25/23 city council meeting Date: Monday, September 25, 2023 5:57:17 PM CAUTION: External Email To Pt Townsend City Council Please steer away from selling off municipal/public land to build housing. I'm aware some of the golf course land was deeded to the city for municipal purpose and some without restrictions, but in good conscious unrestricted land use doesn't mean it should be sold and privatized. Yes, we have a housing crisis, but we also have a public land shortage. We have amended zoning to open tip for density and the city is working on work force housing via Evans Vista meanwhile some of the non motorized trails are being paved over and turning into streets and private driveways. Please keep golf course land public land. Please see the PRTTAB comments about building housing on the golf course land. Keep land as a golf course or open it tip as a park for more access, but please don't privatize public land. Thanks for reading. Trevor Williams Sent from my iPhone From: Jan Gearo To: David Faber Cc: CitvCouncil; nub11ccomment6c1tvafat.us Subject: Re: Not in favor of spending more money on the golf course or aquatic center Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 8:12:15 PM I wish I could believe you, but after the last decade of local leadership, I'll reserve judgment until I see actions align with that sentiment. After all, words are cheap. Especially given the amount of money the city has already spent on planners and to come up with various proposals that didn't really reflect what our small community needs or even wants, or in the case of the proposal for the aquatic center from the company out of Colorado where they didn't even seem to understand we're essentially landlocked so available patron population is exceptionally limited given both geographically and due to the lack of businesses to bring in younger families. I also see that the city intends to focus on putting in low cost housing on the golf course grounds within a few years [reducing the size of the golf course] rather than using other city owned land which would be easier to build upon. Will there be any accountability for the Cherry Street fiasco? Since it's come out that it was known in advance about the asbestos and overall condition of the structure prior to purchase. Plus how a local developer offered to take care of the mess and was rejected by the city. -Jon On Wed, Sep 27, 2023 at 10:41 AM David Faber <DFaber c�cit of t.us> wrote: Thankyou foryour email, Jon. We had a great meeting this last Monday regarding the future of the golf course. One of the key council priorities was actually to avoid having the city spend much money (or any at all) if possible, and we seem to have landed a longer-term result that avoids significant public expenditures, while simultaneously increasing the public benefits of the golf course. You can watch the deliberations and action here: httDS://cit ofpt. ranicUS.com/pla er/clip/2782. view i =4 redirect=true h= 6f390 b3e 483eb7235462b50202a2f Additionally, the City is indeed attempting to address Cherry Street, with action hopefully (depending upon some factors) coming in the next months, and the city embarked on a financial sustainability initiative last year that was an attempt to holistically analyze the city's budget, long-term financial trends, community needs and demands, city capacity, and our available options. Thus far, that initiative has resulted in a number of exciting new approaches that should hopefully find us turning the proverbial corner on our failing streets and addressing levels of service for a variety of failing community resources. These things will unfortunately take quite a bit of time to accomplish (starting now on reversing the trend with our failing streets will take perhaps 20+ years to be "completed"), but your concerns are close to the hearts & minds of city staff and council.

Di2posltion . pdf Feinson PRR.pdf Prosecutor Routing Document Ryan Harris.pdf Prosecutor Declines To Prosecute.pdf Jefferson County Prosecutors are actively undermining the Criminal Justice Work of the Port Townsend Police Department, even to the extent of Assault on a Police Officer and Obstruction of a Law Officer who was stopping a man from Felony Assaults against women at a Port Townsend Public Speaking Event. This affects all of us in Jefferson County Washington. We are not safe if our county prosecutors choose politics and public pressure over the law, and over the eyewitness account of Port Townsend Police Officers. It happens often here, however, this time it was the most detrimental to our communities safety. As JC prosecutors disrespected, demeaned, devalued, endangered and harmed the reputation of the Port Townsend Police. And denied victims rights to a Port Townsend Police Officer. Per Washington law, if there was a crime, witnesses, video and there was a victim, then the person who committed that crime should be prosecuted regardless of if a victim wants to prosecute or not. In this case the victim had no say, the community had no say, officer witness testimony, PC, officer cam footage, eye witnesses, NONE had a "say". The night of Amy Sousa's Press Conference Office Kamal Sharif was assaulted. The man who assaulted him is Ryan Harris. Ryan was charged with Felony Assault 3, and Obstruction of Justice. I want the public to know that the Port Townsend Police gave all evidence, probable cause, and officer eye witness statements to the Jefferson County Prosecutor. The Prosecutors worked with Mayor Faber's law firm and made all the Felony Assaults disappear. There was no investigation, no witnesses called. was one of those who witnessed Ryan Harris interfere with official Police actions, as well as other Felony Assaults that night. The Press Conference was August 15, 2022 and by 10:47 am the next morning, the charges were all dropped. And that morning Ryan Harris was released from Jefferson County jail per request of Prosecutor Tuppence Macintyre No Port Townsend Police Officer interfered in any way, that I know of, with the Felony Assault Charges, Assault on an Officer simply being dropped. Here is the Letter Prosecutor Tuppence Macintyre sent to Officer Kamal Sharif, simply claiming that he was declining to charge as there was not enough evidence.

The officer cam footage has several officers stating they witnessed the assault. I myself was a witness. Prosecutors put politics and public pressure over law and the safety of our community. No investigation, no witnesses called, no judicial hearing. This sends a VERY bad message, that in Jefferson County Washington, anyone can stop a police from arresting someone or assault an officer, or obstruct an officer in his official duties, and have those charges simply vanish because the Mayor's law firm and the Prosecutors make deals that are good for their careers and not our community. What good are police, if they gather evidence, witness crimes and the Prosecutors simply are Pay to Play, Who You Owe and Who you Know, and extreme partisan politics.

At 18:03hrs Port Townsend PD Officers and Washington State Patrol Troopers moved into the protest crowd to break up a reported physical altercation. I was following Officer Sharif (718) when he observed the subject that was instigating and pushing into others at the protest. Due to the crowd and my position, I did not observe an altercation at the time, however Officer Sharif did see the subject in question pushing an elderly demonstrator. Once the subject in question was alerted to our presence, he got up and ran from Officer Sharif who tried to give chase. I was behind Officer Sharif at this time and observed Ryan S. Harris reach out of the crowd and grab Officer Sharif by the left side of his vest, slowing Officer Sharif. This hindered and delayed Officer Sharif from detaining the initial subject. I, Officer Stanton, only observed the incident where Officer Sharif was grabbed by Harris. Harris was subsequently arrested for grabbing Officer Sharif by myself and Officer Titterness and taken to the west side of the Elevated Ice Cream building for hand off to the County Deputies. Harris was transported to Jefferson County Jail by JCSO and booked for assault 3 and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer.

Unfortunately, the previous consultant is no longer able to assist with the project. Staff researched additional solutions and determined that the most cost-effective and efficient solution was an upgrade of our existing Justice Audio Visual Solutions cameras and microphones. This upgrade will purchase new microphones, including separate microphones for each Council Member and two new microphones at the staff table, as well as five new high definition cameras and two additional speakers in the City Council Chambers. This upgrade will also require a small upgrade to our Granicus system (the system that streams to the website) in order to stream and store higher definition video. This, along with the purchase of new chairs, is the final part of the Chambers upgrade. ATTACHMENTS: CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A/ RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval to authorize agreements for a City Council Chamber upgrade in an amount not to exceed $80000, including Justice Audio Visual Solutions and Granicus upgrade contracts.

The first project was approved by Council in June of 2023 for the replacement of the 14 dilapidated and aging windows in the annex side of the Library. The second project this year will be the remodel of the two Library restrooms. In order for these restrooms to meet updated ADA standards, upgrades to the sinks, stalls and fixtures need to be met. Additionally new the and paint will be added to give the restrooms a fresh new look. The Library is scheduled to remain open throughout construction with operating with normal business hours 7 days a week. During the remodel the public restrooms will be closed for 4-6 weeks while construction takes place. The City will provide outdoor Sani- can restrooms onsite for the public and staff to use during that time, similar to what was provided during COVID. Along with the window project the restroom remodel has been on the books since 2017. The project was advertised on MRSC Small Works Roster and staff received three competitive bids. The lowest responsive bid is $76,519.00 including WSST submitted by L & L Enterprises. Staff is requesting authorization the City Manager to enter into an agreement with L & L Enterprises in the amount of $76,519.00 and further authorizes change orders up to a limit of 20% given the project is a remodel project and we expect to encounter change conditions and additional repairs. Funding: Washington State Department of Commerce Library Capital Improvement Program - $172,560 (for the window replacement and the bathroom remodels) Matching funds from ARPA, Bond Fund, REET- $180,000. This Resolution gives the City Manager the authority to award a professional service contract with L & L Enterprises for the Library Restroom Remodel Project. Not to exceed $80,000 and other contracts needed to complete the construction. Expenditures: Library windows approved by Council June 20th- $80,000.00 Library restrooms- $77,000.00 Total: $157,000.00 ATTACHMENTS: (None) CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval to authorize the City Manager to execute all contracts necessary to complete the Library Restroom Remodel Project.

The attached revised salary schedule includes several changes: 1) Library; 2) Police Navigator; and 3) Skills Development Library Authorize the salary schedule change for the Library positions. Adjust FTE count by position from collective 8.9 to 9.1 FTE and small shifting of position classifications. This is a minor adjustment to take advantage of maximum hours available per position to provide the best possible service to the community. Police Navigator Authorize the proposed salary range for the Police Navigator position of $55,680 to $62,400. This position was listed as unclassified in the 2023 adopted salary schedule. The salary range was not defined at the time the 2023 budget was adopted. This temporary position is funded by a grant from Jefferson County Public Health. The grant agreement provides for a salary of $55,680 in 2024; filling the position at a salary above $55,680 is dependent on a fully signed amendment to the grant agreement between the City and the County. PW Dept maintenance worker Skills Development, hiring flexibility, and retention. City staff recommends the following reclassifications to Public Works positions to round out the skills development program within Public Works: 1. Add apprentice positions to classification 7 to provide entry level opportunities: • Water Distribution Maintenance Worker Apprentice • Water Treatment Maintenance Worker Apprentice • Streets/Stormwater/Sewer Maintenance Worker Apprentice • Wastewater Treatment/Compost Operator Apprentice • Fleet Technician Apprentice • Facilities Maintenance Worker Apprentice 2. Rename existing Maintenance Worker or Technician positions in classification 9: • Water Distribution Maintenance Worker I • Water Treatment Maintenance Worker I • Water Treatment/Distribution Maintenance Worker I • Streets/Sewer/Stormwater Maintenance Worker I • Wastewater Treatment/Compost Operator I • Fleet Technician I • Facilities Maintenance Worker 1 3. Rename existing Maintenance Worker or Technician positions in classification 15: • Water Distribution Maintenance Worker 11 • Water Treatment Maintenance Worker 11 (Operator) • Water Treatment/Distribution Maintenance Worker 11 (Operator) • Streets/Sewer/Stormwater Maintenance Worker 11 • Wastewater Treatment/Compost Operator 11 • Fleet Technician 11 • Facilities Maintenance Worker 11 4. Rename existing Lead positions in classification 21: • Water Distribution Maintenance Worker III (Lead) • Water Treatment Maintenance Worker III (Lead) • Water Treatment/Distribution Maintenance Worker III (Lead) • Streets/Stormwater/Sewer Maintenance Worker III (Lead) • Wastewater Treatment/Compost Operator III (Lead) • Fleet Technician III (Lead) • Facilities Maintenance Worker III (Lead) 5. Add crew chief apprentice positions as advancement opportunities: • Crew Chief Apprentice — Water Distribution • Crew Chief Apprentice — Water Treatment • Crew Chief Apprentice — Wastewater Treatment/Compost • Chief Apprentice — Fleet • Crew Chief Apprentice — Facilities 6. Move Crew Chief Apprentice — Streets/Storm/Sewer from classification 21 to classification 23 to reflect the updated job description since the position was piloted. 7. Add crew chief positions as advancement opportunities: • Crew Chief — Water Treatment • Crew Chief — Wastewater Treatment/Compost • Crew Chief — Fleet • Crew Chief — Facilities The proposed classifications qualify as members of the General Government Bargaining Unit and will be added to the union wage scale. The union has reviewed the job descriptions for the Water Distribution, Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment/Compost, Streets/Stormwater/Sewer, Fleet, and Facilities positions, recommended wage classification, and recommended the additions to the 2022-2024 General Government Salary Classification Schedule. This resolution provides the City Manager flexibility in hiring Public Works maintenance worker positions. Recruitment can be difficult, largely because there is little advancement opportunity in small teams. Introducing the skills development framework philosophy to the other divisions of the Public Works Department is a continuation of the work started by the Planning and Community Development Department. This proposed framework provides an advancement system based on skills acquired through experience and specialty certifications. This City Council approval also allows for the shifting of FTEs between classifications to recognize skills and place employees correctly in the right classification. This authorization does not change the bottom line employee count within Public Works. Budget Impacts Library: There is no budget impact to the Library's operating budget. The minimal change to FTE by Library position is within the 2023 budget authority. Police Department: The maximum budget impact for the Police Department is $37,200 per year which entails the City paying for benefits as a match to the grant. The annual amount was included in the 2023 Adopted Budget based on anticipated grant proceeds from the Jefferson County Navigator Program. Public Works: The approximate budget impact for 2023 for the skills development depends on the department and the current staffing situation. This update does not propose a change to the number of budgeted positions; however, it will result in position shifting between job titles and classifications to recognize employees for their skills they bring to the City. If needed, staff will request a budget adjustment at a future supplemental after a review of the YTD salary information. The following estimates are for the remaining 2 months of the year. Streets/Collections: $4,000 Water Distribution: $5,500 Water Treatment: $5,500 Wastewater Treatment: $4,000 Compost: $1,500 Fleet: $3,000 Facilities (Community Services): $4,000 Parks (Community Services):$ 1,500 The following estimates are an annual impact analysis for consideration of how it will impact future budgets- Streets/Collections- $24,000 Water Distribution: $32,000 Water Treatment: $32,000 Wastewater Treatment: $24,000 Compost: $8,000 Fleet: $24,000 Facilities (Community Services): $24,000 Parks (Community Services): $8,000 The recommended changes are listed in red in the revised 2023 Employee Position Salary Schedule.

Attest: Alyssa Rodrigues City Clerk David J Faber Mayor Approved as to form: Heidi Greenwood City Attorney Exhibit A Comprehensive Plan Chapter 2: Introduction — Building Blocks for the Comprehensive Plan — Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan Adopted by the City Council in August of 1993, the Gateway Development Plan represented the culmination of over three years of active citizen involvement. The Gateway Development Plan expands upon an earlier "concept plan" adopted in May of 1988. It was updated in 2023. The update included specific focus in the Flats District and addressed power line safety conflicts with the existing poplar trees, boat ,yard expansion to the Port's property line, the long term sustainability of this area of the public right of way, and the replanting and aesthetics of this portion of the Gateway. The Plan identifies specific transportation improvements for capital development and establishes development guidelines for the Sims Way/SR 20 corridor from the Port Townsend City limits to the Washington State Ferry Terminal. These guidelines are "performance -oriented" rather than "prescriptive" and address issues regarding the look, feel, and function of the Gateway Corridor. The Gateway Development Plan incorporates three primary goals into a comprehensive transportation redevelopment strategy: Traffic Safety; Streetscape Improvements and Aesthetics; and Economic Vitality. Exhibit B Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6 Policy 3.15: Enhance the Flats District according to the 2023 Amendment to the Gateway Development Plan. Exhibit C Figure 4-2: Port Townsend Subareas Exhibit D N o UmNin Woterfrovvt Purr 1990 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 Policy 7.4: Create, maintain, and improve the Sims Gateways and other entrances into the Commercial Historic District through the use of enhanced plantings/street trees and street furniture. Exhibit E Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 Community Retail The City's economic development strategy recognizes the fact that service industries, including retailing, are the fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy. In Jefferson County, about 14% of all jobs are in either the wholesale or retail trades. While these jobs may not provide the desired wages or "spin off' effects that manufacturing jobs have, they nevertheless provide many meaningful employment opportunities, fulfill community shopping needs, and boost local government revenues. The Community Direction Statement (Chapter 3 of this Plan) and the City's economic development strategy both recognize the importance of retail trades to our local economy and quality of life. The community vision places special emphasis on building the strength and vitality of existing businesses and minimizing retail sales leakage to neighboring jurisdictions. One significant role local government can play in promoting community retail trades lies in providing and maintaining public infrastructure and improvements in commercial districts throughout town. In this regard, the City has placed special emphasis on implementation of the recommendations of the Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan. This Plan is in reality a comprehensive public improvements plan that could aid in improving the quality of the physical link between public and private spaces in the commercial districts along the Sims Way/Water Street corridor from the Ferry Terminal to the City limits. As of 2023, this includes an amendment to the Gateway Development Plan enacting communitX suggestions for increasing pedestrian connection to the boat ,yard and expanding the boat ,yard to accommodate further economic development. Implementation: 1. Carry out the capital improvements recommendations contained in the 2023 Amended Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan. 2. In conjunction with the EDC, study local market conditions, identify areas for additional retail opportunities, and work with business owners and entrepreneurs to create strategies that build on those opportunities. 3. Help existing businesses find better ways to meet their customer's needs and expand to meet market opportunities. CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE Date of Issuance: June 29, 2023 Lead Agency: City of Port Townsend Public Works 250 Madison Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 Agency Contact: H. Smith Long Range Planner (360) 379-4423 Agency File Number: LUP23-034 Proposal Description: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Arising from Clarification and Refinement of the Sims Gateway Development Plan— City of Port Townsend initiated amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Proposed amendments would: • Amend the Gateway Development Plan and associated references in the Comprehensive Plan to clarify development goals and policies for the Flats District as identified in the Gateway Development Plan. • Amend Figure 4-2: Port Townsend Subareas to reference the Gateway Development Plan as amended in 2023 instead of as adopted in 1993. Location: The proposed code amendments will apply to the section of Sims Way / State Route 20 and the associated right-of-way running between the southern city limits and the state ferry terminal on Water Street. Proponent: City of Port Townsend Public Works 250 Madison Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 Lead Agency: City of Port Townsend Planning and Community Development Department (PCD) 250 Madison Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 Determination of Non -Significance: The City of Port Townsend, as SEPA lead agency for this project, has determined that the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment and issued a Determination of Non- Significance under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC 197-11-340). This determination was made after a review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City of Port Townsend which can be obtained from the address on the first page of this document. This determination is based on the following findings and conclusions: The Environmental Checklist (Ex. A) adequately addresses the environmental impacts of the proposed amendments. Subsequent project actions (e.g. construction/repair projects) may require further project -level under SEPA, Critical Areas (PTMC 19.05), or Shorelines Master Program. No probable significant adverse impact on the environment has been identified from adoption of the proposed amendments to Chapter 17.22.020 PTMC Marine -Related and Manufacturing Districts — Permitted, Conditional, and Prohibited Uses, therefor a Determination of Non -significance is warranted.

In accordance with PTMC Section 20.04.090(8), notice of the public hearing was posted and published on July 5, 2023. 6. AIgglingE Staff provided an overview of the proposed amendments, working with the Planning 7. Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting on December 8, 2022. 8. Public nearing.: The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 12, 2023, to consider the amendments to various sections of the Comprehensive Plan related to the Sims Gateway Development Plan. Commissioners considered public testimony received at the public hearing, as well as those offered at the previous meetings and work sessions. Upon the close of the hearing, the Planning Commission assessed each item and formed its recommendation based on the evaluation criteria set forth in PTMC Section 20.04.080. Findings and Conclusions Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommended approval of the revisions to various sections of the Municipal Code as depicted in Exhibit A. This recommendation was based upon the following Criteria for Approval: a) Whether the amendment will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare in any significant way. Finding. The SEPA Responsible Official has reviewed the proposed amendments and issued a Determination of Non -Significance (Exhibit C). Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way. b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide planning policies. Finding . The proposed amendment is directly related to two Growth Management Act (GMA) goals. First is Goal 3: "Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans." GMA Goal 5 is reflected in County -wide Planning Policy (CWPP) #5, county -wide transportation facilities and strategies. This amendment will facilitate future projects improving multi -modal transportation along the boatyard side of Sims Way, including pedestrian sidewalks and bike paths. The other relevant GMA goal is 5, "Economic Development: Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities." GMA Goal 5 is supported by CWPP 7, county -wide economic development and employment. The proposed amendment clarifies that the boatyard in the Flats District is significant to Port Townsend's economic vitality. The amendment references the expansion of the boat yard to support the economic development goals the GMA, CWPP, and the Gateway Development Plan. Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments are consistent with both the GMA and the CWPPs. c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan. Findin : Over the course of thirteen meetings between Summer 2021 and Summer 2023, Port Townsend residents determined that they had three primary goals for any changes to the Flats District: improving public safety by moving powerlines underground, creating an environment for healthy vegetation, and continuing the economic development of the boatyard. This amendment reflects these goals as developed through public meetings, stakeholder committees, open houses, and hearings. The amendment also applies 2022's best available science on arboreal health, which is significant because the Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan has not been amended since its passage in 1993. Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendment supports public safety, healthy vegetation, and the economic development of the boat yard in accordance with widely held community values. d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. .Finding: The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land uses within the city. No change in land use is proposed. Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located which warrants the proposal. Finding: The amendment addresses changed circumstances and implements the comprehensive plan. Changed circumstances include the electrical safety hazard. In 2021, transmission powerlines arced with the row of Lombardy Poplar trees along Sims Way and the Boat Haven. The amendment also addresses best available science concerning the nonnative trees and their recently determined poor health, along with applying recent public feedback. The proposed amendment supports active plans within the Comprehensive Plan, including the non -motorized plan, Gateway Development Plan, Public Recreational Open Space Plan, and Kah Tai Development Plan. The proposal implements Comprehensive Plan Chapter 2, Section: Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan by supporting the plan's three primary goals of traffic safety, streetscape improvements and aesthetics, and economic vitality. The proposed enhancements to the Flats District also supports a section of the Community Direction Statement which "Port Townsend as eastern Jefferson County's economic and cultural center." Preventing tree hazards, particularly on a central road, ensures that workers and tourists can reach safely reach uptown and downtown. Preventing hazards and clarifying development standards for an expansion of the boat yard and improvements for the Flats District for the Gateway Development Plan is particularly important for the Boat Haven Marina, an area that the Community Direction Statement calls "essential to the character of Port Townsend as a working waterfront town." Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments help implement the Comprehensive Plan goals to of economic development and public safety. Recommendation: The PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of the amendments to various sections of the Comprehensive Plan to clarify the Sims Gateway Development Plan intent.

A minimum density has been specified for this designation in order to discourage use of this land for subordinate, lower density, single-family development. Exhibit D Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4 Land Use Element A Description of the Land Use Designation Marine -Related and Manufacturing Designations M/C - Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial: The purpose of this designation is to provide for a mix of commercial, light manufacturing with on-site retailing, and multifamily --°ewe-housing. These are uses which may have mixed uses or combine aspects of both on- site manufacturing and retailing (e.g., specialty crafts or artisans). Manufacturing to commercial floor area ratios are necessary within this designation to ensure that certain uses do not dominate at the expense of others.

Exhibit E Comprehensive Plan Appendix 6 Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan Section 9.3 -- Future Recreation and Open Space Proportionate Recreation and Open Space Demand • WESTERN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: In the western areas, future residential neighborhoods will develop and will create new demand for parks. The R -III and R -IV residential land use designations in this area encompass approximately 23.4 acres of vacant and undeveloped land. These areas will generate approximately 161 44--� to 322 2-26 additional housing units. This growth equates to a population increase of approximately 339 29-7 to 676 473 new residents when using the City's typical 2.1 -person household size. The adopted LOS (7.6/1,000) calculates a demand of 5.14 3-.6+ acres of additional parkland to support the anticipated population in this area. Table 9.2.b lists the future recreational and open space demand for the residential land use designations. As a means to achieve the LOS standards, developers may be required to provide their proportional share of parks and open space as part of individual housing projects.

To provide for a compatible horizontal and vertical mix of single-family, multifamily housing and neighborhood commercial businesses and services, with an emphasis on promoting multistory structures with commercial uses on the ground floor and multifamily housing on upper floors; 4. To promote a compact growth pattern to efficiently use the remaining developable land, and to enable the cost-effective extension of utilities, services, and streets; frequent transit service; and to help sustain neighborhood businesses; 5. To foster the development of mixed use areas that are arranged, scaled, and designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses and which provide sensitive transitions between significantly different land uses (e.g., commercial and residential uses); 6. To ensure that buildings and other development components are arranged, designed, and oriented to facilitate pedestrian access. B. The purposes of the specific mixed use districts are as follows: 1. C-UMU — Neighborhood Mixed Use Center. This district provides for a compatible mix of small scale commercial uses and medium density multifamily housing in multistory buildings. Within this district, commercial uses should be located mainly on the ground floor of multistory structures, with multifamily residential units above, at a density of up to 46 80 units per 40,000 -square -foot area. Over time, this district should promote neighborhood identity, by providing a range of commercial retail and service opportunities within walking distance, reducing reliance upon the automobile. This district occurs in four locations in the city: the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; the block on the southwest side of the T -intersection at Kearney Street and Blain Street; and the San Juan and F Street intersection. 2. C-II/MU — Community Mixed Use Center. While very similar to the neighborhood mixed use district, this district accommodates a broader range of commercial uses and upper floor multifamily residential units at a density of up to -24 100 units per 40,000 square foot area. The C-IUMU district occurs in areas that are closer to the city's existing east/west commercial corridor (i.e., portions of both the east and west sides of Discovery Road, from 7th Street to 12th Street; and the east side of Kearney Street, from Franklin to Garfield Street). Like the C-I/MU district, the C-II/MU district is intended to promote more focused and transit or pedestrian -oriented development patterns. Exhibit E 1718.030(B) Bulk, dimensional and density requirements. B. Application of Btiil iag F,-,,, tage and Minimum Commercial Space and Clear Ceiling Height Requirements. All strictures located within the C-I(MU) zoning district shall comply with the btii ding f enrage minimum commercial space requirements of Table 17.18.030. However, in order to allow a horizontal as well as a vertical mixture of commercial and residential uses, only those strictures or portions of strictures constricted to satisfy the minimum commercial building €rhe requirements of Table 17.18.030 shall comply with the minimum clear ceiling height requirements set forth in the table. Commercial space may be initially used as residential space but must meet commercial design requirements that would allow conversion back to commercial use.

This district accommodates small-scale manufacturing businesses, along with associated and subordinate on-site retailing. Residential uses are permitted in the zone if they can be safely removed from adverse and damaging impacts emanating from manufacturing -type activities. The purpose of this district is to provide for manufacturing and commercial enterprises which do not predominate within either the light manufacturing or commercial land use categories. These are uses which may combine aspects of both on-site manufacturing and retailing (e.g., specialty crafts or artisans). Manufacturing to commercial floor area ratios are necessary for this district to ensure that certain uses do not dominate at the expense of others. The M/C district occurs in areas south of Sims Way and west of Thomas Street. The district may also be appropriate for significant portions of the Glen Cove area.

Conclusion: PCD Staff conclude that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way. b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide planning policies. LUP23-011 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments F'indiM The proposed amendment enacts the following GMA goals and CWPPs: GMA Goal 1: "Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner." And CWPP #1: "The designation of urban growth areas (UGAs)." The proposed amendments incentivize development in the Rainier Subarea, which has public facilities and services. GMA Goal 2: "Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development" and CWPP #2: "Promotion of contiguous and orderly development and the provision of services to such development." The proposal is for a recreational use in an area that can support more development. . GMA Goal 5: "Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities" and CWPP #7: "County -wide economic development and employment." The proposed use would provide jobs that are currently not available in the Rainier Subarea. The projected number of employees is 20 per health club. This is a small but significant employment opportunity in a subarea that was designed for live -work development but has not seen enough employment or housing GMA Goal 6: "Property rights. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions." The proposed amendments do not take private property or remove currently allowed uses from privately held property. Instead, it adds a new permitted use. GMA Goal 11: "Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts." The proposed amendments do not impact citizen participation. However, citizens have provided feedback on the draft amendment through public comments and meetings with the Planning Commission. Conclusion: Staff conclude that the proposed amendments are consistent with both the GMA and the CWPPs. c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan. FimwnAjq Public comment at Planning Commission meetings have noted a lack of recreational opportunities in the Rainier Subarea, which create a barrier to developing neighborhood char6cter and make the subarea less appealing to developers and potential residents. Permitting these recreational uses in the M/C(S) zone would reflect the community's desire for recreational space. Conclusion: Staff concludes that the proposed amendments support the widely held community value of access to nearby recreational space. 2 LUP23-011 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. Finding: The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land uses within the City. Allowing health clubs in the M/C(S) zone does not conflict with other uses of the zone or the uses of neighboring zones. Conclusion: Staff concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located which warrants the proposal. Finding: The proposed amendments implement the following sections of the comprehensive plan: Comprehensive Plan Direction Statement: "a great place to live." The proposed amendment indirectly supports neighborhood development by allowing closer access to recreation opportunities in the Rainier subarea. Chapter 9 Economic Development Element: The proposed amendment makes developing the M/C(S) zone more appealing to developers, which means these zones can be used by local businesses to implement Goal 1, fostering "a balanced, diversified, and sustainable local economy that contributes to Port Townsend's high quality of life." Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan: The proposed amendment to M/C(S) implements Goal LU.S, "provide family -wage employment by promoting a variety of manufacturing and commercial uses across the subarea" by allowing a new commercial use that is compatible with the area's other permitted uses. Conclusion: Staff concludes that the proposed amendments implement the Comprehensive Plan's goals for community direction, land use and economic development. The amendments also implement the Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan. Recommendation The Port Townsend Planning Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of the amendments to section 17.31.070 of the Municipal Code to permit health clubs, dance studios, and martial arts studios in the M/C zone of the Rainier Subarea.

In accordance with PTMC Section 20.04.090(B), notice of the public hearing will be posted and published on August 23, 2023. 6. IVlleetings: Staff presented and refined amendments with the Planning Commission and City Council on the following dates: May 25, 2023, Planning Commission Regular Meeting July 26, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting August 9, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting Public Hearing: Public Hearings are scheduled on the following dates and will be duly noticed in the paper of record at least 10 days in advance of each hearing: September 14, 2023, Public Hearing before the Planning Commission September 28, 2023, Planning Commission Final Action on Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments October 2, 2023, Public Hearing before City Council October 16, 2023, City Council Second Reading of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments Findings and Conclusions a) Whether the amendment will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare in any significant way. Finding The SEPA Responsible Official has reviewed the proposed amendments issued a Determination of Non -Significance. LUP23-013 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Coraglusion: The Planning Commissioners conclude that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way. b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide planning policies. jF ndin . The proposed amendment enacts the following GMA goals and CWPPs: GMA Goal 1: "Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner." And CWPP #1: "The designation of urban growth areas (UGAs)." The proposed amendment incentivizes multiuse development in a block that has been consistently used for residential, not commercial, use despite its current C-1 zoning. The block has sufficient public facilities and services to provide more residential and multiuse services. GMA Goal 2: "Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development" and CWPP #2: "Promotion of contiguous and orderly development and the provision of services to such development." The proposal would support higher -density multiuse development in a block that can support more units. GMA Goal 3: "Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans" and CWPP #5: "County -wide transportation facilities and strategies." The subject block is on a transit line. Allowing multiuse development at this site would encourage greater use of non -motorized transportation and the county -wide public transit system. GMA Goal 4: "Housing. Plan for and accommodate housing affordable 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" and CWPP #6: "The need for affordable housing for all economic segments of the population." The proposed amendment would permit multiuse housing and commercial development in a block that is proximal to transit, recreation, groceries, and employment opportunities. GMA Goal 5: "Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities" and CWPP #7: "County -wide economic development and employment." The proposed amendment would continue to permit commercial use on the subject block, while also allowing multifamily housing. Historically the parcel has been used for permitted nonconforming residential use because the residential use predates the Comprehensive Plan. Allowing residential use may make adding commercial use more appealing to owners and developers. 2 LUP23-013 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments GMA Goal 8: "Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. Encourage the conservation of productive forestlands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses." GMA Goal 11: "Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts." The proposed amendments do not impact citizen participation. However, citizens have provided feedback on the draft amendments through public comments and meetings with the Planning Commission. GMA Goal 12: "Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards." The proposed amendment would allow housing in a property that has access to sufficient public facilities and services. Conclusion. The Planning Commissioners conclude that the proposed amendments are consistent with both the GMA and the CWPPs. c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan. Find n& City Council and Planning Commission meetings are largely focused on the need for more housing and more affordable housing. Public comment shows that Port Townsend residents are highly concerned about having sufficient housing in their community. Business owners share that they are losing employees who cannot find housing. By rezoning to allow multiuse structures, including housing, the proposed amendment reflects the community's widely held value of providing affordable housing for all economic segments of the City. Concluslonw, The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments support the widely held community value of housing access. d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. iridin&, The site block is the last remaining C-1 property in Port Townsend. However, rezoning it will not remove C-1 uses because the block has never served a Neighborhood Commercial use. Instead, it has been an allowed nonconforming use. Other properties that were formerly zoned C-1 have all been rezoned to C-I/MU, reflecting that Port Townsend wants multiuse spaces and development. C-1 uses are still permitted at this property and in other regions, along with the other uses allowed through C-I/MU. Conclusion. The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located which warrants the proposal. Finding, The proposed amendments implement the following sections of the comprehensive plan: Comprehensive Plan Direction Statement: "a great place to live," with a "wide choice of housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles and incomes. Residential 3 LUP23-013 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments development is centered in distinct neighborhoods." The proposed amendment supports residential development in an area that does not currently permit new residences. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4 Land Use Element: per Goal 9, "accommodate the population growth objectives for the City of Port Townsend and further the objectives of the Housing Element of this Plan" Rezoning the subject block of Kearney allows residential development that better meets the City's housing goals. The amendments also implement Goal 10, providing "adequate commercial land to conveniently serve community needs while maintaining Port Townsend's small town atmosphere" by encouraging the development of commercial uses in mixed-use zones. This also contributes to Goal 12, encouraging "the creation of mixed use centers that combine commercial and residential land uses, providing an opportunity to develop areas in Port Townsend that are transit -oriented and pedestrian friendly and offering opportunities for affordable housing, convenience shopping, and quality design." Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5 Housing Element: providing more housing stock is an essential part of OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Jefferson County, WA. This includes enacting Goal 1, providing an "adequate supply of housing for residents of all income groups, including sufficient housing affordable to low and moderate income groups." The proposed amendments encourage Goal 2, promoting "the provision of affordable housing throughout all geographic and economic segments of the community" because property cannot develop further housing in its current zone. The amendment implements Goal 6 by increasing development opportunities in mixed use zones that will "promote a balance of housing and employment opportunities." Per Goal 7, these higher density residential developments are located within the City's urban core instead of sprawling out. Finally, per An Affordable Housing Strategy for Port Townsend, the amendments re-evaluate development standards to maintain public health and safety while reducing development costs as a barrier to affordable housing. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6 Transportation Element: The subject block is proximal to transit, meaning that residents or visitors to multiuse commercial space can use public transit instead of private vehicles Chapter 9 Economic Development Element: The subject site has not been commercially developed, suggesting that the location is not appealing for solely commercial use. Allowing mixed use development may make the block more affordable or appealing to develop with commercial and residential uses. Making the block more appealing would allow local businesses to implement Goal 1, fostering "a balanced, diversified, and sustainable local economy that contributes to Port Townsend's high quality of life." Even if the block is mainly developed into multifamily housing, this would aid local businesses that cannot retain workers due to local cost of housing. The proposed amendment addresses that the subject block of Kearney Street has not been used as a Neighborhood Commercial space. Its residential use predates the Comprehensive Plan and has continued for decades without change. Rezoning the block to address its actual use instead of a conceptual use allows for more realistic development. The rezoning would also permit more multiunit housing on the block, which relates to Port Townsend's housing concerns. 4 LUP23-013 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments implement the Comprehensive Plan's goals for community direction, land use, housing, transportation, and economic development.

Meetings Staff presented and refined amendments with the Planning Commission and City Council on the following dates: May 25, 2023, Planning Commission Regular Meeting June 8, 2023, Planning Commission Regular Meeting June 22, 2023, Planning Commission Regular Meeting July 3, 2023, City Council Regular Meeting July 12, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting July 19, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting July 26, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting August 9, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting August 23, 2023, Planning Commission Special Meeting 7. Public Hearing: Public Hearings are scheduled on the following dates and will be duly noticed in the paper of record at least 10 days in advance of each hearing: September 14, 2023 Public Hearing before the Planning Commission September 28, 2023, Planning Commission Final Action on Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments October 2, 2023, Public Hearing before City Council October 16, 2023, City Council Second Reading of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments Findings and Conclusions a) Whether the amendment will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare in any significant way. 1 DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Fine The SEPA Responsible Official has reviewed the proposed amendments and issued a Determination of Non -Significance. Conclusion:, The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way. b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide planning policies. Finding, The proposed amendment enacts the following GMA goals and CWPPs: GMA Goal 1: "Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner." And CWPP #1: "The designation of urban growth areas (UGAs)." The proposed amendments incentivize development in underdeveloped urban areas with sufficient public facilities and services. GMA Goal 2: "Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development" and CWPP #2: "Promotion of contiguous and orderly development and the provision of services to such development." The proposal is for concentrated, high-density development in areas that can support more units. GMA Goal 3: "Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans" and CWPP #5: "County -wide transportation facilities and strategies." The proposed amendments include a reduction in minimum parking requirements in specific high-density zones to encourage greater use of non -motorized transportation and the county -wide public transit system. GMA Goal 4: "Housing. Plan for and accommodate housing affordable 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" and CWPP #6: "The need for affordable housing for all economic segments of the population." The proposed amendments permit greater housing densities in regions where developers, particularly developers of affordable housing, cannot afford to build at current density levels. The amendments will increase housing stock and encourage development of affordable housing units. GMA Goal 5: "Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities" and CWPP #7: "County -wide economic development and employment." The proposed amendments address barriers to economic development in specific land use zones. Developers report that they cannot afford to build on mixed use zones because the balance of residential to commercial space is not viable for their funding sources, leaving these properties undeveloped. The undeveloped mixed-use properties are not serving as local businesses or residences, hampering economic development. 2 DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Similarly, zones allowing high-density residential developments remain undeveloped because developers cannot afford to build unless the total number of units is high enough that renting them will absorb unexpected development costs. Port Townsend and Jefferson County lack sufficient housing, meaning that local industries do not have a local workforce. GMA Goal 6: "Property rights. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions." The proposed amendments do not take private property or remove currently allowed uses from privately held property. GMA Goal: "7) Permits. Applications for both state and local government permits should be processed in a timely and fair manner to ensure predictability." The proposed amendments do not impact permit application processes or timelines. GMA Goal 8: "Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. Encourage the conservation of productive forestlands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses." The proposed amendments do not impact natural resource industries. GMA Goal 9: "Open space and recreation. Retain open space, enhance recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks and recreation facilities." The proposed amendments encourage development in high-density areas that are adjacent to open space, allowing residents access to recreational areas without development sprawling into natural areas. GMA Goal 10: "Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water." The proposed amendments do not impact air or water quality or availability. GMA Goal 11: "Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts." The proposed amendments do not impact citizen participation. However, citizens have provided feedback on the draft amendments through meetings with the Planning Commission and other opportunities for public comment. GMA Goal 12: "Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards." The proposed amendments propose increasing density in zones that are underdeveloped, meaning that increased demand for public facilities and services will remain in proportion to levels planned in the Comprehensive Plan. GMA Goal 13: "Historic preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures, that have historical or archaeological significance." The proposed amendments do not impact historic preservation. 3 DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments are consistent with both the GMA and the CWPPs. c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan. Finding: City Council and Planning Commission meetings are largely focused on the need for more housing and more affordable housing. Public comment shows that Port Townsend residents are highly concerned about having sufficient housing in their community. Business owners share that they are losing employees who cannot find housing. Developers report that they cannot build needed housing under current height and density restrictions. The proposed amendment reflects the community's widely held value of providing affordable housing for all economic segments of the City. Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments support the widely held community value of housing access. d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. I"inclin& The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land uses within the City. The proposed increases to height and density do not alter land uses, only encourage concentrating residential use in zones that already permit multifamily housing. Conclusion. The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located which warrants the proposal. firfdin a The proposed amendments implement the following sections of the comprehensive plan: Comprehensive Plan Direction Statement: "a great place to live," with a "wide choice of housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles and incomes. Residential development is centered in distinct neighborhoods." The proposed amendments support styles of high-density housing that are not currently feasible in the City, centered in distinct neighborhoods. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4 Land Use Element: per Goal 9, "accommodate the population growth objectives for the City of Port Townsend and further the objectives of the Housing Element of this Plan," allow development in the currently underutilized R -IV High Density Multi -Family, C-I/MU Neighborhood Mixed Use Center, C-ll/MU Community Mixed Use Center, and M/C Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial in the Rainier Subarea. The amendments also implement Goal 10, providing "adequate commercial land to conveniently serve community needs while maintaining Port Townsend's small town atmosphere" by encouraging the development of commercial uses in mixed-use zones. This also contributes to Goal 12, encouraging "the creation of mixed use centers that combine commercial and residential land uses, providing an opportunity to develop areas in Port Townsend that are transit -oriented and pedestrian friendly and offering opportunities for affordable housing, convenience shopping, and quality design." Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5 Housing Element: providing more housing stock is an essential part of OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership's 10 Year Plan to 4 DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments End Homelessness in Jefferson County, WA. This includes enacting Goal 1, providing an "adequate supply of housing for residents of all income groups, including sufficient housing affordable to low and moderate income groups." The proposed amendments encourage Goal 2, promoting "the provision of affordable housing throughout all geographic and economic segments of the community" because developers cannot currently afford to build affordable units unless they are allowed to build more total units that will absorb the costs of permanently affordable units. These amendments "promote a variety of housing choices" per Goal 4. Developing these specific zones also makes them more suitable for "the development of housing opportunities for low income and special needs populations" per Goal 5. The amendments implement Goal 6 by increasing development opportunities in mixed use zones that will "promote a balance of housing and employment opportunities." Per Goal 7, these higher density residential developments are located within the City's urban core instead of sprawling out. Finally, per An Affordable Housing Strategy for Port Townsend, the amendments re- evaluate development standards to maintain public health and safety while reducing development costs as a barrier to affordable housing. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6 Transportation Element: The proposed reduction in parking minimums enacts Goal 9, "Encourage the City, transit, and private interests to establish coordinated parking strategies to achieve overall transportation goals and to ensure that parking standards do not act as a deterrent to new development or redevelopment." Chapter 8 Capital Facilities Element: Per Goal 4, "Ensure that water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities are provided concurrent with new development, based on the City's adopted level of service standards" and Goal 5, "Provide needed public facilities within the City's financial capabilities or within the City's authority to require others to provide such facilities," developments under these proposed amendments must be served by utilities and public facilities in concurrence with the project's development. Chapter 9 Economic Development Element: The proposed amendments make developing the M/C(S) and mixed use zones more affordable and appealing to developers, which means these zones can be used by local businesses to implement Goal 1, fostering "a balanced, diversified, and sustainable local economy that contributes to Port Townsend's high quality of life." Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan: The proposed amendments to M/C(S) implement Goal LU.4, ensure a variety of housing options and living environment choices are provided throughout the subarea." They also implement Goal LU.5, "provide family -wage employment by promoting a variety of manufactur9ing and commercial uses across the subarea" by encouraging development in this area, which has not seen the predicted level of development since its creation. The proposed amendments also address how housing access has substantially changed. When the Port Townsend comprehensive plan was updated in 2015, housing was one of several primary concerns, along with attracting businesses and supporting economic growth. Since then, housing became a primary concern across income levels, political groups, and geographic areas. 5 DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments The housing crisis is a national problem that is deeply felt in Port Townsend. The city needs local solutions. Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments implement the Comprehensive Plan's goals for community direction, land use, housing, transportation, capital facilities, and economic development. The amendments also implement the Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan.

A minimum density has been specified for this designation in order to discourage use of this land for subordinate, lower density, single-family development. Exhibit D Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4 Land Use Element A Description of the Land Use Designation Marine -Related and Manufacturing Designations M/C - Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial: The purpose of this designation is to provide for a mix of commercial, light manufacturing with on-site retailing, and altifnaul ,.ewe housing. These are uses which may have mixed uses or combine aspects of both on- site manufacturing and retailing (e.g., specialty crafts or artisans). Manufacturing to commercial floor area ratios are necessary within this designation to ensure that certain uses do not dominate at the expense of others. The M/C designation has been applied to areas south of Sims Way, west of Thomas Street and along Rainier Street west to Discovery Road. Exhibit E Comprehensive Plan Appendix 6 Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan Section 9.3 -- Future Recreation and Open Space Proportionate Recreation and Open Space Demand WESTERN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: In the western areas, future residential neighborhoods will develop and will create new demand for parks. The R -III and R -IV residential land use designations in this area encompass approximately 23.4 acres of vacant and undeveloped land. These areas will generate approximately 161 4447 to 322 226 additional housing units. This growth equates to a population increase of approximately 339 2-97 to 676 475. new residents when using the City's typical 2.1 -person household size. The adopted LOS (7.6/1,000) calculates a demand of 5.14 3-.64- acres of additional parkland to support the anticipated population in this area. Table 9.2.b lists the future recreational and open space demand for the residential land use designations. As a means to achieve the LOS standards, developers may be required to provide their proportional share of parks and open space as part of individual housing projects.

A minimum density has been specified for this district in order to discourage use of this land for subordinate, lower density development; single-family dwellings are not permitted in this district. This district includes areas designed to be compatible with adjoining uses; to provide for development with a density and configuration that facilitates effective and efficient transit service; and to enable provision of affordable housing.

To foster a development pattern offering direct, convenient pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular access between residences and businesses, in order to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle travel and reduce the number and length of automobile trips; 2. To encourage new development that supports the safe and efficient movement of goods and people; 3. To provide for a compatible horizontal and vertical mix of single-family, multifamily housing and neighborhood commercial businesses and services, with an emphasis on promoting multistory structures with commercial uses on the ground floor and multifamily housing on upper floors; 4. To promote a compact growth pattern to efficiently use the remaining developable land, and to enable the cost-effective extension of utilities, services, and streets; frequent transit service; and to help sustain neighborhood businesses; 5. To foster the development of mixed use areas that are arranged, scaled, and designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses and which provide sensitive transitions between significantly different land uses (e.g., commercial and residential uses); 6. To ensure that buildings and other development components are arranged, designed, and oriented to facilitate pedestrian access. B. The purposes of the specific mixed use districts are as follows: 1. C-I/MU — Neighborhood Mixed Use Center. This district provides for a compatible mix of small scale commercial uses and medium density multifamily housing in multistory buildings. Within this district, commercial uses should be located mainly on the ground floor of multistory structures, with multifamily residential units above, at a density of up to 4-6 80 units per 40,000 -square -foot area. Over time, this district should promote neighborhood identity, by providing a range of commercial retail and service opportunities 2023 Amendments as Recommended by the Planning Commission 6 within walking distance, reducing reliance upon the automobile. This district occurs in threes four locations in the city: the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; tlic_block op the sotitliwest side of the' intersectio i a.LKearivy,.. tt ptt and Main S_treet�, and the San Juan and F Street intersection. 2. C-II/MU — Community Mixed Use Center. While very similar to the neighborhood mixed use district, this district accommodates a broader range of commercial uses and upper floor multifamily residential units at a density of up to 24 100 units per 40,000 square foot area. The C-II/MU district occurs in areas that are closer to the city's existing east/west commercial corridor (i.e., portions of both the east and west sides of Discovery Road, from 7th Street to 12th Street; and the east side of Kearney Street, from Franklin to Garfield Street). Like the C-I/MU district, the C-II/MU district is intended to promote more focused and transit or pedestrian -oriented development patterns.

Yes ❑ No ❑ ❑ Contract Approval ❑x Other: ❑ Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) ❑ 3 -Year Strategic Plan: N/A Cost Allocation Fund: N/A SUMMARY STATEMENT: The 2024 revenue estimates and department requests are in draft form. The numbers do not match up or balance, please do not focus on the numbers. We are still wrestling with balancing the budget in an effort to stay focused on policy decisions and the strategic work plan. The outlined budget schedule provides an opportunity for Council and staff to discuss priorities and pull together a proposed budget focused on the future outcome of the community. The 2024 revenue forecast reflects a conservative approach, balancing the economic conditions and watching for the ever -shifting economy on the horizon. The goal is to remain conservative yet lean in and leverage the resources the City has available. Overall, increases are anticipated for all revenue sources. Sales tax and other miscellaneous revenues have been adjusted by 3.7%. Property tax has been adjusted for new construction as well as Council consideration of the 1 % allowable levy increase. Real Estate Excise Tax and Lodging Tax are projected to remain strong locally in the near term. Utility rate increases based on prior rate model studies and rate studies in process will be brought forward for consideration as well as any fee schedule adjustments. In addition, the City has obtained several grants that work to stretch our local resources. These grants have been obtained by departments across the organization and represent significant work accomplished by staff. Operational department requests have been submitted along with key goals and strategic work plan priorities for 2024. Staff levels are a key element to achieve the service levels and meet strategic goals. Retention and recruitment are critical in this area and have proven to be one of the highest challenges. Investments in the tools and people that are needed to provide services to the Community are an important component of the requested budgets. Revenue considerations as well as expense considerations will be brought forward for future Council discussion. Upcoming discussion opportunities: • October 9 — 2024 Strategic Work Plan, 2023 Strategic Work Plan update • October 16 — Budget Continuation • November 6 — Proposed 2024 Budget • November— Public Hearings on revenues, property tax levy and budget adoption ATTACHMENTS: 1.
