FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ACTING AS BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
March 11, 1991
Rezone Application 9107-07
Port Townsend Motel, Service Activities Corporation
After respectful consideration of the above-referenced Application,
including on-site insoection of the property, and after timely noti-
fication and hearing, the Port Townsend City Council, acting as
Board of Adjustment, hereby submits the following Findings and Con-
clusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The aoDlicant proposes a rezone of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
and 8 of Block 6~] Hastings Second Addition, from R-II to C-II. The
subject area is adjacent to Washington Street to the South, which
connects to Sims Way to the Southwest. The area to the West of the
subject property is zoned commercial (C-II). To the South, at the
corner of Washington Street and Sims Way, across Washington and Sims
is the C-III zoning district. The area to the North and Northeast
is zoned residential (R-II). See attached map for the zoning of the
immediate area.
2. The subject area has been used as the Port Townsend Motel
for the last 40 to 50 years. City zoning records indicate that Lots
5 and 7 were rezoned to C-II in 1976 (Ordinance 1765) but that Lots
1 through 4 and 6 and 8 remained R-II. Portions of the building are
within the R-II zone. The motel on these portions is considered a
non-conforming use under the zoning code and may be continued and
maintained provided there is no physical change other than necessary
maintenance and repair (Section 17.52.010, Port Townsend Municipal
Code).
3. On October 22, 1990, the City issued a building permit
for the addition of a mansard roof facade to the Port Townsend Motel.
The building permit was issued based upon erroneous zoning informa-
tion, and it was later withdrax,~. In order for the applicant to
proceed with the proposed mansard roof facade, a rezone of Lots 1
through 4, 6 and 8, to C-II is necessary.
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
- 1 -
EXHIBIT A
4. Section 17.16.010 of the Port Townsend ~unicipal Code
outlines the purposes of each zoning district in the City of Port
Townsend. The purpose of the R-II zoning district, which is the
present zoning designation of a portion of the subject property, is
defined as "primarily a single-family residence district, and low
density multiple residence district, requiring 5,000 square feet of
building tract for each single-family dwelling unit." The purpose
of the C-II zoning district, which is the proposed zoning designa-
tion of the site, is defined as "primarily a general commercial dis-
trict for the conduct of enterprises which depends on proximity to
major streets or arterials for trade or transportation."
5. Section 17.16.0101 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code
lists the uses which are permitted in the various zoning districts,
as either permitted or conditional uses. Broadly, a commercial use
in the C-II zoning district is an occupation, employment or enter-
prise which is carried on for profit by the owner, lessee or li-
censee and depends on the proximity to arterial streets for trade or
transportation.
6. A rezone is not an action which is related specifically
to one use, like a variance or conditional use oermit, since a
change in the zoning district will allow any of the permitted uses
in the C-II zone on the property. The uses which are allowed in the
C-II zoning district as either permitted or conditional uses which
are not allowed in the R-II zoning district are listed in Attachment
I, Summary: C-II Zoning District.
7. There are currently about 140 acres of land in Port Town-
send which are zoned C-II. Much of this land is undeveloped on
which the proposed use could be relocated. However, a portion of
the subject property serving the motel (lots 5 and 7) is currently
zoned C-II. Furthermore, the current commercial use of the subject
property is adjacent to both a C-II and a C-III zoning district and
provides an important community service.
8. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan oresents performance
and locational standards for the siting of a general commercial dis-
trict. The Plan states that commercial development should be located
in areas where a reasonable demand can be expected for community-
oriented needs; should be located adjacent to existing commercial
development in a block-like fashion or at the intersection of two or
more arterial streets; should provide adequate parking and off-
street loading areas; parking areas and access points should be lo-
cated and designed for safe visibility, ingress and egress to ap-
proaching pedestrians and motorists; should be adequately screened
or separated from nearby residences; and that it would not adversely
affect the use or value of adjacent areas or properties.
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
9. The applicant states that the proposed rezone would allow
for the continuance of the use of motel as it has been for the last
40 to 50 years and allow for the construction of a mansard roof facade
in a manner that would upgrade the building and would complement Port
Tov~send's Victorian motif.
10. The City Council has issued a Mitigated Determination of
Non-Signficiance, dated February 5, 1991, after review of the Envir-
onmental Checklist submitted by the applicant pursuant to the Wash-
ington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The checklist was sub-
mitted for the rezone action, which includes the construction of the
mansard roof facade. Should the rezone be approved, any new commer-
cial development would be subject to project-specific S~PA review.
11. Under the present R-II/-III zoning descriotion of the
property, the maximum oermitted building height is 35 feet, xtghich is
the same if the property were rezoned to C-II as proposed.
12. To reduce impacts of C-II-designated property adjacent to
properties zoned residential, buildings must be set back at least 10
feet on each side and 20 feet from the rear lot line. Buildings on
the subject property would be required to comply with these setbacks,
except for those which would be legally non-conforming as to setbacks
or unless a variance was granted, after public hearing by the Board of
Adjustment. The existing building is legally non-conforming as to
setbacks, or within legal setback requirements.
13. Under the original Zoning Ordinance, Number 1625, as
adopted in 1971 and as it existed through 1988, a motel was oermitted
in an R-II zone as a conditional use. The use table contained in
Section 17.16.010 was amended by Ordinance 2155, passed by the City
Council on June 20, 1989, prohibiting motels in the R-II zone and
thus making the Port Townsend Motel non-conforming as to zonin~ des-
ignation at that time with respect to a motel use. The City Council
did not specifically intend to cause that result to the property in
view of its being used for a motel for 40 to 50 years.
14. Because the property on which the motel is located slopes
away from the residential properties to the North and East, and be-
cause the height restrictions are the same under both the existing
R-II and the proposed C-II designations, the rezone would have little
or no impact upon views from nearby residential properties if the
rezone were approved as conditioned. This would maintain an adequate
buffer area between the motel and the residential properties Nor{h
and East of the site.
15. There is a natural buffer consisting of a steep slooe be-
tween the site and adjacent residential lands. There is no such
signficiant buffer between the site and adjacent commercial land.
16. The proposed improvements to the motel which would be per-
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
- 3 -
mitted with the granting of the rezone request as conditioned would
aesthetically improve the site and building and complement the Vic-
torian character of the area and the community.
17. The rezone, if granted as conditioned, would, not single
out a small area for a use different or inconsistent with the sur-
rounding area.
18. Public facitlities such as water and. sewer have been im-
proved in the area and would not be impacted by the rezone proposal.
19. Since the Zoning Ordinance was enacted in 1971, there
· has been substantial commercial growth and development in the imme-
diate area, particularly to the West, Northwest and Southwest of
the site. The adjacent Penny Saver store has expanded; the bowling
alley has added a mini-golf course; Great Northwest Federal SaVings
and Loan has been constructed; and InterWest Bank has been expanded.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Port Townsend City
Council, acting as Board of Adjustment, makes the following Con-
clusions:
i. The applicant states that there is a need to rezone the
property as it should have been zoned C-II initially since it is a
commercial use and is adjacent to commercial uses.
2. The property surrounding the subject property consists
of both residential and commercial zoning districts and uses. The
proposed zoninK change would result in the entire block, Block 68,
being zoned C-II land. Therefore, the proposed zoning change would
be consistent with the proposed zoning and land uses of the subject
property and would not amount to a "spot zone."
3. ~ile there is a fair amount of vacant land which is
zoned C-II, the pre-existing motel development justifies the rezone
on this site. The approval of the rezone would provide commercial
development in a block-like fashion at the intersection of two or
more streets, which is consistent with the goals, policies and maps
of the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Use of the site as a motel will have no effect on City
utility services, streets, fire or police protection with respect
to the site because it is currently used as a motel.
5. The existing structure on the subject property is well-
suited to continue as a motel. The uses provided by the motel can
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
- 4 -
best be served by the rezone and use of this site. The proposed
construction of the mansard roof facade would enhance the aesthet{cs
of the property and would serve to make the property more compatible
with the adjacent residential neighborhood.
6. The present Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan shows the
subject property as being commercial, and the proposed rezone would
be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comorehensive
Plan.
7. The proposed rezone and use, with the mitigation measures
required by Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance and the foi-
l. owing conditions, would not cause any probable significant imoacts,
but rather would be comoatible with adjacent lands, uses and p~blic
facilities.
8. The rezone if approved with conditions will promote the
public health, morals, safety and welfare and be in the public in-
terest.
91 A substantial change in circumstances has occurred since
1971 and 1976 which justifies the rezone.
10. The rezone, as conditioned, would not be a spot rezone
and would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and other
provisions of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
11. The rezone, as conditioned, would be compatible with ad-
jacent uses and lands, and is a reasonable request.
In consideration of the aforementioned Findings and Conclusions,
the City Council, acting as Board of Adjustment,. recommends that the
above-referenced application be granted as conditioned.
1. The commercial use of the property shall be limited to
motel uses. There shall be no restaurant or-'similar'ddmmercial food
use or facility allowed.
2. To prevent light and glare impacts, decorative lighting
proposed for the top of the mansard roof shall be prohibited, exceot
for decorative lights used during the Christmas season from December
1 to 31.
3. No structure or building shall exceed mheig~t of 22 feet
above the eXisting 'concrete pad walkway located ~in front of the exist-
ing office.
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
- 5 -
4. Ail construction uoon the property for which a building
permit has not already been issued shall be subject to non-binding
review by the Historic Preservation Commission in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Ordinance 2216, Section 17.zz.040.
5. Any expansion of the existing motel or any new build-
ings or structures shall be located within the existing footprint
of the existing motel building to a maximum height of 22 feet.
6. Any expansion, addition or alteration to the property
in the future shall require submittal of an Environmental Check-
list and review under SEPA. Any categorial exemption which would
normally apply shall not be applicable.
7. This rezone shall not become effective until a contract
is executed and recorded by the City Attorney setting forth all
mitigation measures required by the Mitigated Determination of Non-
Significance and all of the conditions of this rezone to run with
and be binding upon the land.
