CHAPTER 17.52 OF THE PORT TOWNSEND MUNICIPAL CODE
WITH REGARD TO REVISING THE DEFINITIONS OF CHILD CARE
FACILITIES AND MINOR CONDITIONAL USE AND AMENDING
THE CHILD DAY CARE CHAPTER
RECITAL:
The City Council of the City of Port Townsend finds as follows:
1. Port Townsend is a community with a very special environment, both natural and
man-made and the qualities of both must be respected so that the uniqueness of Port
Townsend can flourish without inappropriate changes.
2. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan was adopted to provide guidance for the
community on accommodating growth and redevelopment in a manner that respected
the natural and built environment and enhanced the community.
3. Title 17 (Zoning) of the Port Townsend Municipal Code was adopted to fully
implement the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Certain standards and requirements in Title 17 have been identified as needing
clarification.
5. Chapter 20.04 PTMC establishes a process for consideration of amendments to the
text and maps of the Comprehensive Plan and Implementing Regulations. This
ordinance has been developed in conformance with the requirements for land use
code text revisions set forth in Section 20.04.090 PTMC.
6. Child care facilities are found to be an important resource to the City of Port
Townsend and should be allowed in various forms in residential, mixed use,
commercial and manufacturing zoning districts.
7. Child care references from the State Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) had been updated.
8. The Planning Commission considered in several workshop sessions the need for
revisions to the requirements and standards associated with child care facilities.
9. On November 8, 2007, after timely and effective public notice, the Planning
Commission conducted an open record public hearing to accept public testimony on
the proposed amendments to Chapter 17.52 PTMC. Following the close ofthe public
hearing, the Planning Commission reviewed the record, deliberated, and directed staff
1
Ordinance 2977
to revise the draft ordinance with modifications to allow child care centers and stand-
alone preschools in all residential zoning districts with approval of a conditional use
permit. On January 24, 2008, by a vote of 7 in favor and 0 opposed recommended
adoption of the proposed amendments
10. On June 2, 2008, after timely and effective notice, the City Council conducted an
open record public hearing to accept public testimony on the proposed amendments to
Chapter 17.52 PTMC. At the close of public hearing, the Council deliberated upon
the proposal.
11. The City Council finds that opportunities provided for meaningful citizen
participation in this amendment process are consistent with the requirements of the
GMA (36.70A RCW) and the procedures set forth in Chapter 20.04 PTMC.
12. The City Council finds that the amendments to Chapter 17.52 PTMC recommended
herein have been reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act (Chapter
43.21C RCW and chapter 197-11 WAC) and Chapter 19.04 PTMC. The City Council
finds that the amendments to Titles 17, 18, 19, and 20 PTMC recommended herein
have been reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act (Chapter 43.21 C RCW
and chapter 197-11 WAC) and Chapter 19.04 PTMC. On October 24,2007, the SEPA
Responsible Official issued a Detennination of Non-Significance, Adoption of Existing
Environmental Documents and Notice of Availability of SEP A Addendum. No
comments were received during the public review period. A Final SEP A
Determination was issued on November 26, 2007.
13. The City Council finds that Code amendments set forth herein are wholly consistent
with the Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter III of the Plan, and the
review and amendment procedures set forth in Section 20.04 PTMC.
14. The City Council expressly finds that site-specific criteria set forth in Section 20.04
PTMC are inapplicable to the text amendments recommended herein, and therefore
need not be applied.
15. All audio taped and written record of the Planning Commission and City Council's
deliberations during the meeting and hearings described in the above findings are
incorporated herein by this reference.
16. Consistent with the requirement of the GMA, Planning staff provided notice of intent
to adopt the proposed development regulation amendments to the State of
Washington Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED)
for review and comment prior to the adoption of this ordinance (RCW 36. 70A.l 06).
