AN ORDINANCE pertaining to zoning, amending Section
17.16.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code to allow
boat building, repair and sales in the C-II zoning district,
and establishing an effective date therefor.
WHEREAS, boat repair and sales are important, traditional elements of the Port Townsend
economy; and
the C-H zoning district is primarily a general commercial district intended for
the conduct of enterprise which depends on proximity to major arterial streets
for trade or transportation; and
WHEREAS,
many boat models currently being manufactured are trailerable and may be
successfully marketed and repaired on upland sites without direct access to the
water; and
WHEREAS, allowing boat repair and sales in the C-II zoning district may be expected to
increase boating services desired by residents and visitors; and
it is desirable to revise zoning regulations to remove regulatory barriers which
are no longer necessary in order to enhance further economic development of
boat sales and repair; Now, Therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND AS
