Conclusions Consistent with criteria set forth in PTMC 20.04.080 and based on the findings,the Planning Commission makes the following Conclusions: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria 1: Will the amendment adversely affect the public health,safety,and welfare in any significant way? No,none of the amendments would have an adverse effect to the public health,safety,and welfare. Introduction: Based on Findings 21 and 22, the Commission concludes that the proposed changes to the Introduction as amended meet this Criterion because recognizing our vulnerabilities is the first step to developing strategies which will protect public health, safety and welfare. Land Use: Based on Findings 21 and 23,the proposed changes to the Land Use Element meet this Criterion because those changes strengthen existing goals and policies regarding development of a sustainable,balanced and resilient community. Housing: Based on Findings 21 and 24,the proposed changes to the Housing Element meet this Criterion,because as set out in docket items 25 and 26,the changes are intended to set the framework for future regulatory amendments that would improve housing affordability and increase the variety of housing types. Transportation: Based on Findings 21 and 25,the proposed changes to the Transportation Element meet this Criterion. The changes further support the intent of the City's Transportation Element to provide a safe,integrated,and efficient multi-modal transportation system that is consistent with the City's overall vision and that adequately serves anticipated growth. The changes also reflect that many of the goals and policies of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan have since been implemented through the Transportation Functional Plan,Non-Motorized Transportation Plan,and Engineering Design Standards. Amendments to this element are intended to streamline the element while preserving its intent. Utilities: Based on Findings 21 and 26,the proposed changes to the Utilities Element meet this Criterion. The proposed changes to the Utilities Element guide future utility service within the City's planning area and provide a framework by which the City can plan for adequate utility services to support existing and future development in the City. The proposed changes promote efficient, cost-effective utility service while meeting community needs and protecting both existing neighborhoods and the natural environment. The proposed amendments strengthen existing policy by incorporating measures to promote community resilience. Attachment 2-Ordinance 3154 Exhibit 2016 GMA PeriodicUpdate Page 7 of 13 Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations Page 7 of 13 Capital Facilities: Based on Findings 21 and 27,the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Element meet this Criterion. The proposed changes identify and coordinate improvements necessary to accommodate orderly growth, set policy direction for capital improvements, and ensure capital improvements are provided in a timely manner. This section provides a brief summary of existing publicly owned capital facilities and services that support and provide services that are needed by the residents and businesses of the City(e.g. police and fire service). The changes also reflect that many of the goals and policies of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan have since been implemented through adoption of functional plans. Amendments to this element are intended to streamline the element while preserving its intent. Economic Development:Based on Findings 21 and 28,the proposed changes to the Economic Element meet this Criterion. The proposed changes to this element foster a balanced, diversified, and sustainable local economy that contributes to the City's high quality of life,through the protection and enhancement of the community's natural,historical, and cultural amenities, and the improvement of the financial well-being of its residents. Proposed amendments are intended to support this overall goal and focus on providing new information from the Port Townsend: Howard Street Economic Feasibility Study by E.D. Hovee (2015). Glossar Mendices: Based on Finding 29,the proposed changes to the Glossary and Appendices meet this Criterion. The Glossary and Appendices support the elements described above. Development Regulations: Based on Findings 30 and 31,the proposed changes to the development regulations meet this Criterion because revisions implementing docket item 49 allow for electric vehicle battery charging stations that support the transition to cleaner energy sources and may reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed revisions pursuant to docket item 51 are intended to improve community resilience by supporting the local food system. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria 2: Is the proposed amendment consistent with the GMA and adopted county-wide planning policies? Yes. Compliance with the GMA was the primary focus of the 2016 GMA periodic update. Early in the process,the City retained an outside consultant(Cascadia Planning Services) to review the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations for consistency with the GMA (Chapter 36.70A RCW)using the Department of Commerce's update checklist. City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council considered this analysis in the preparation of the docket outlining the amendments to be considered during the 2016 update. The Final Docket,per Council Resolution 15-042, represents the scope of changes to be addressed. Amendments to implement the Final Docket are consistent with policy implementation in the county-wide planning policies.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria 3: Does the proposed amendment reflect current widely held community values or resolve inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan? Yes,the proposed amendments reflect current widely held community values. While the GMA periodic review is primarily focused on amendments necessary to ensure consistency with the requirements of the GMA, the process also presents an opportunity for the City to assess whether changes in community attitudes and values necessitate revisions to the adopted vision, goals and policies. The community's adopted vision is contained in Chapter 3 "Community Direction Statement" of the Comprehensive Plan. During the last"Mid-Cycle" update to the Plan in 2008,the City held a series of three Town Meetings. The issues identified at these meetings were broadly consistent with the key themes of community attitudes identified in 1996. The public participation efforts accompanying the 2016 update also confirmed that the community's basic attitudes and values remain the same. However, the 2016 process revealed the emergence of additional concerns. A summary of public input was provided at a joint Planning Commission/City Council meeting on August 10, 2015 (materials are available online at: http://www.cityofpt.us/video.html). Based on public input,the final docket includes revisions to respond to an expressed desire by the community to address community transition and resilience; promote and encourage a wider range of housing types; and foster economic development(with specific emphasis on the Howard Street Corridor). Introduction: Based on Findings 21 and 22,the Commission concludes that the proposed changes to the Introduction as amended meet this Criteria because amendments recognize new issues that create uncertainties in assumptions(e.g., shifts in the global economy,energy shortages,and natural disasters). Land Use: Based on Findings 21 and 23,the proposed changes to the Land Use Element meet this Criterion because those changes strengthen policies that are a priority to the community including planning for transition and community resiliency(docket item 2),and supporting family-wage jobs (docket items 15, 16, 19). Housing: Based on Findings 21 and 24,the proposed changes to the Housing Element meet this Criterion. Affordable housing has been identified as a priority to our community. Amendments to the Housing Element are intended to set the framework for future regulatory amendments that would address housing affordability and increase potential for a more diverse variety of housing types (docket items 25,26). Attachment 2-Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 10 of 13 2016 GMA PeriodicUpdate Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations Page 10 of 13 Transportation: Based on Findings 21 and 25,the proposed changes to the Transportation Element meet this Criterion. Concerns about transportation have expanded to include neighborhood impacts and accommodation for all users. There is also a strong impetus to reduce the environmental impacts of transportation,to create "complete" streets,to reduce reliance on the single-occupant vehicle, and to address resiliency and sustainability of the transportation system (docket item 2). Utilities: Based on Findings 21 and 26,the proposed changes to the Utilities Element meet this Criterion. The City faces the challenge of responding to climate change both in designing facilities to take into account changing sea levels and in adapting to changing weather patterns that impact water supply and quality and the hydrology of the City's wetlands and natural drainage ways. Amendments to this element are intended to address the community's desire to incorporate community resiliency concepts(docket item 2). Capital Facilities: Based on Findings 21 and 27,the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Element meet this Criterion. The community values and benefits from basic municipal facilities such as water and wastewater treatment facilities.Amendments are intended to streamline this section while supporting the overarching goals. Economic Development:Based on Findings 21 and 28,the proposed changes to the Economic Development Element meet this Criterion. Amendments to this element incorporate planning for transition and community resiliency(docket item 2)and supporting family-wage jobs(docket items 45),two high priority items identified through the 2016 public participation program. Revisions to the Economic Development Element also reflect the community's growing interest in promoting local food,both as an economic strategy and to support community resiliency(docket item 47). Glossary/Appendices: Based on Finding 29,the proposed changes to the Glossary and Appendices meet this Criterion. The Glossary and appendices support the elements described above. Development Regulations:Based on Findings 30 and 31,the proposed changes to the development regulations meet this Criterion,because revisions to Title 17 PTMC reflect the community's growing interest in promoting local food,both as an economic strategy and to support community resiliency (docket item 47). Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria 4: Would the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city? Proposed amendments meet Criteria#4. None of the amendments alter the land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map. Acreages dedicated to the various land use designations would be retained. Since initial Plan adoption,the amount of vacant land available in the City's land use designations has not substantially declined.Because the City's anticipated population at the end of the 20-year planning period(12,165)is now significantly less than was previously forecast under either the 1996 Plan(13,876 for 2016)or the last major Plan update in 2004(13,329 for 2024),it can reasonably be concluded that more than sufficient land—in all land use categories—has Attachment 2-Ordinance 3154 Exhibit 2016 GMA PeriodicUpdate Page 11 of 13 Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations Page 11 of 13 been designated to meet projected demand and needs. Introduction: Based on Findings 21 and 22, the Commission concludes that the proposed changes to the Introduction as amended meet this Criteria because amendments reflect updated population projections consistent with the Office of Financial Management forecast and County Resolution 38-15 (docket item 1). Land Use: Based on Findings 21 and 23,the proposed changes to the-Land Use Element meet this Criterion. Revisions to the Land Use Element reflect the conclusions set forth in the Planning Commission Assessment(September 24, 2015). Essentially, since initial Plan adoption, the amount of vacant land available in the City's land use designations has not substantially declined. Because the City's anticipated population at the end of the 20-year planning period (12,165) is now significantly less than was previously forecast under either the 1996 Plan (13,876 for 2016) or the last major Plan update in 2004 (13,329 for 2024), the Commission concludes that more than sufficient land—in all land use categories—has been designated to meet projected demand and needs. Although the proposed amendments do not alter the land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map,they reflect the City's intent to develop a subarea plan for the Howard Street/Discovery Road corridor(Docket Items 15). Housing_Based on Findings 21 and 24,the proposed changes to the Housing Element meet this Criterion. As set forth in the Land Use Element, sufficient land exists to meet projected demand; however,the Housing Element acknowledges a shortage of higher density and affordable rentals with demand exceeding supply for both market rate and affordable units. Consistent with docket item 26,proposed revisions set the stage for future regulatory amendments that would increase the potential for a wider variety of affordable housing types throughout Port Townsend(e.g., increase multi-family density, zero lot line development, conversion of larger homes to multi- family units, smaller homes) (Policies 2.2, 4.1.1). Transportation: Based on Findings 21 and 25,the proposed changes to the Transportation Element meet this Criterion. Proposed amendments would support the existing land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map. Utilities: Based on Findings 21 and 26,the proposed changes to the Utilities Element meet this Criterion. Under the Growth Management Act, planned land use patterns and growth must be supported by adequate levels of utility service. Proposed amendments would support land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map. Capital Facilities: Based on Findings 21 and 27,the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Element meet this Criterion. This element assesses capital facilities needs based on adopted level of service standards, updated population projections, and the growth patterns established in the Land Use Element. Proposed amendments would support the land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map. Economic Development: Based on Findings 21 and 28,the proposed changes to the Economic Development Element meet this Criterion. Future land uses should be closely tied to a city's Attachment 2-Ordinance 3154 Exhibit 2016 GMA PeriodicUpdate Page 12 of 13 Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations Page 12 of 13 economic strategy. Although the proposed amendments do not alter the land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map they reflect the City's intent to develop a subarea plan for the Howard Street/Discovery Road corridor as per revisions to the Land Use Element. GlossarL/Appendices: Based on Finding 29,the proposed changes to the Glossary and Appendices meet this Criterion. The Glossary and Appendices support the elements described above. Development Regulations: Based on Findings 30 and 31,the proposed changes to the development regulations meet this criterion as proposed amendments would not alter the land use patterns established by the adopted land use map/zoning map. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria 5 and 6: Would the proposal implement the comprehensive plan; or alternatively since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, has there been a substantial change in circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located which warrants the proposal? Proposed amendments both implement and strengthen existing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. The Planning Commission Assessment(September 24,2015)cites global economic uncertainty,possible impacts of stalled growth in energy availability, global scale environmental degradation and climate change that all point to large scale changes in the coming decades. The Assessment identified the need for"Community resiliency in a changing world,including adaptation to climate change,the need to transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources,shifts towards more local support systems,changing economies and the nature of work,changes in the demography of our community towards older residents,and changes in housing patterns." Pursuant to docket item 2,the amended Plan addresses resiliency—including approaches to adapting to and managing for the impacts of climate change,increasing local sustainability,and community vitality. Introduction: Based on Findings 21 and 22, the Commission concludes that the proposed changes to the Introduction as amended meet these Criteria because amendments recognize new issues that create uncertainties in assumptions(e.g.,shifts in the global economy,energy shortages,and natural disasters). Land Use: Based on Findings 21 and 23,the proposed changes to the Land Use Element meet these Criteria because,pursuant to docket item 2, resiliency has been incorporated in the narrative, goals and policies of this element specifically under the subheading of Air Quality Management, Climate Mitigation &Adaptation. Housin : Based on Findings 21 and 24,the proposed changes to the Housing Element meet these Criteria,because amendments recognize that the need to periodically monitor trends as anticipating demand(i.e.,population forecasts) is not an exact science and may be significantly impacted by various factors (e.g., climate change and economic boom/bust). Transportation: Based on Findings 21 and 25,the proposed changes to the Transportation Element meet these Criteria. Pursuant to docket item 2, resiliency has been incorporated in the narrative, Attachment 2-Ordinance 3154 Exhibit 2016 GMA PeriodicUpdate Page 13 of 13 Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations Page 13 of 13 goals and policies of this element. Proposed amendments acknowledge that the transportation system must be resilient and respond to climate change and potential rising sea levels, to evolving technology, and to changing demographics and lifestyles. Utilities: Based on Findings 21 and 26,the proposed changes to the Utilities Element meet these Criteria. The City faces the challenge of responding to climate change both in designing facilities for changing sea levels and in adapting to changing weather patterns that impact water supply and quality and the hydrology of the City's wetlands and natural drainage ways. Pursuant to docket item 2, resiliency has been incorporated in the narrative, goals and policies of this element. Capital Facilities: Based on Findings 21 and 27,the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Element meet these Criteria. This element acknowledges the need to be flexible to evolve to meet future changing demands. Economic Development: Based on Findings 21 and 28,the proposed changes to the Economic Development Element meet these Criteria because amendments to this element recognize the challenges of adapting to an older demographic, changes in the economy, and changes in how people work. Glossary/Appendices: Based on Finding 29,the proposed changes to the Glossary and Appendices meet these Criteria because the housing inventory acknowledges changes in demand based on demographic and economic trends. Development Regulations: Based on Findings 30 and 31,the proposed changes to the development regulations meet these Criteria,because amendments to PTMC Title 17 support the community's growing interest in promoting local food,both as an economic strategy and to support community resiliency(docket item 47). Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Planning Commission adopts the Findings and Conclusions above, and recommends adoption of proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Port Townsend Municipal Code.

After review and recommendation from the Port Townsend Planning Commission, the 17 City's current comprehensive plan was adopted by the City Council in 1981 (the "1981 18 Plan") as the official public document intended to guide the physical development and 19 conserve the resources of the City. 20 21 2. The Washington State Legislature adopted the Washington State Management Act of 22 1990 and amendments thereto, Chapter 36.70A. RCW, (the "Act"), requiring selected 23 counties and cities to prepare comprehensive plans consistent with the provisions of 24 the Act. 25 26 3. Under the Act, the City of Port Townsend is charged with the responsibility of 27 preparing a new comprehensive plan to facilitate the orderly and coordinated growth 28 and development of the City (Chapter 36.70A.040 RCW). 29 30 4. As required under the Act (Chapter 36.70A.210 RCW), and to ensure coordination and 31 consistency between the comprehensive plans of Jefferson County and the City of Port 32 Townsend, the City participated in the preparation and adoption of the County-Wide 33 Planning Policy for Jefferson Cour (City Resolution No. 92-112 and County 34 Resolution No. 128-92, both dated December 21, 1992). 35 36 5. Throughout the City's planning process, the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson 37 CojMV has been used as a policy guide for the development of the City of Port 38 Townsend Comprehensive Plan. 39 40 6. Following adoption of the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County, the City 41 implemented a thorough planning and public involvement process to guide 42 development of the new Comprehensive Plan in conformance with the Act, and to 43 repeal and replace the 1981 Plan. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 1 JULY 15, 1996 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 6 of 510 1 7. As set forth in the findings below, the citizen involvement process employed in the 2 planning process exceeds the public participation requirements set forth in the Act 3 (Chapter 36.70A.140 RCW). 4 5 8. In May of 1993, the Port Townsend City Council sponsored the PT 2020: Getting 6 Together project to provide an opportunity for citizens to express their concerns about 7 the future of the City. 8 9 9. The PT 2020: Getting Together process involved over 1,400 hours of citizen 10 discussion between March and May, 1993, and included more than 600 citizen 11 responses to a questionnaire that sought information about the concerns and values of 12 Port Townsend residents. 13 14 10. The product of the PT 2020 project was a report entitled, "PT 2020: Getting Together 15 - Final Report of Coffee Hour Process and Results" (the "PT 2020 Report"). 16 17 11. On June 21, 1993, the City Council accepted the PT 2020 Report as a guide to be 18 used in the City's future planning efforts (Resolution No. 93-73). 19 20 12. After timely public notice, the City Council held two public workshops on March 16 21 and 23, 1994, to develop a "Community Direction Statement" to guide the 22 development of the new Comprehensive Plan. 23 24 13. Derived from the results of the PT 2020 Report, the Community Direction Statement 25 was adopted by the City Council on May 2, 1994, as a vision statement for the 26 comprehensive planning process (Resolution No. 94-65). 27 28 14. Throughout the planning process, the City Council, Planning Commission, citizen 29 workgroups, and staff have referred to the Community Direction Statement to ensure 30 that the basic values it embodies are reflected in the new Comprehensive Plan. 31 32 15. In May of 1994, Port Townsend Mayor John Clise appointed Councilpersons, Planning 33 Commissioners and Port Townsend citizens to five Citizen Workgroups charged with 34 the responsibility of developing goals, policies, and implementing strategies for the 35 Draft Comprehensive Plan. A sixth workgroup, known as the "String and Glue" 36 Committee, was also formed to help coordinate the efforts of the citizen workgroups 37 and to prepare meeting minutes for the other citizen workgroups. 38 39 16. Between May of 1994 and December 1995, the workgroups held a total of more than 40 50 public meetings as they gathered information, identified key issues, and prepared 41 the Draft Plan elements for community review. 42 43 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 2 JULY 15, 1996 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 7 of 510 1 17. Citizen workgroup meeting times and places were listed in the weekly "Meetings, 2 Meetings, Meetings" flyer posted at City Hall, and were provided to the Port 3 Townsend - Jefferson County Leader. 4 5 18. On January 10, 1996, the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and 6 Environmental Impact Statement was released for public and agency review (see 7 Exhibit "A" attached hereto). 8 9 19. The Draft Plan represented an integrated State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and 10 Growth Management Act (GMA) document, and was formatted and prepared to fulfill 11 the requirements of both the Act and SEPA (Chapter 43.21C RCW). 12 13 20. On January 30, 1996, and after timely public notice, the SEPA Responsible Official 14 (Building and Community Development Director, Dave Robison) conducted a public 15 hearing to accept public testimony on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement 16 (DEIS) portion of the integrated Draft Plan and DEIS document. 17 18 21. In February, 1996, and after timely public notice, the Port Townsend City Council and 19 Planning Commission conducted four televised community workshops to review the 20 major policy recommendations of the Draft Plan, and to answer questions from 21 interested citizens. These workshops were held on February 7, 14, 21, and 28, 1996. 22 23 22. In March and April of 1996, and after timely public notice, the Port Townsend 24 Planning Commission held a series of eight public hearings to accept public testimony 25 on the specific recommendations contained in the Draft Plan. These hearings were 26 held on March 7, 14, 21, and 28, and April 4, 11, 18, and 25, 1996. 27 28 23. Following the conclusion of the Planning Commission public hearings on April 25, 29 1996, and after timely public notice, the Planning Commission held a series of seven 30 closed record meetings to deliberate upon the testimony received, and prepare findings, 31 conclusions, and recommendations for the advice of the City Council. These meetings 32 were held on May 4, 8, 15, 16, 22, 23, and 29, 1996. 33 34 24. On June 3rd, 1996, the Planning Commission transmitted the Draft Port Townsend 35 Comprehensive Plan and a list of final recommended amendments to the City Council, 36 together with a unanimous recommendation for adoption (see Exhibit "B" attached 37 hereto). 38 39 25. Between June 4 and 18, 1996, and after timely public notice, the City Council held a 40 series of four public workshops to review the specific recommendations contained in 41 the Planning Commission's report, and to preliminarily direct further revisions to the 42 Draft Plan. These workshops were held on June 4, 11, 12, and 18, 1996. 43 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 3 JULY 15, 1996 fOrdinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 8 of 510 1 26, On June 19 and 20, 1996, and after timely public notice, the City Council held two 2 additional televised public hearings to accept final public testimony on the Draft Port 3 Townsend Comprehensive Plan. 4 5 27. Between June 24 and July 10, 1996, and after timely public notice, the City Council 6 held a series of six special public meetings to deliberate upon the testimony received 7 and to direct final lines-in and lines-out to the goals, policies, and implementing 8 strategies of the Plan, and to direct final changes to the Land Use Map. These special 9 meetings were held on June 24 and 25, and July 2, 8, 9, and 10, 1996. 10 11 28. On July 3, 1996, a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was issued for the 12 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan as required under SEPA (Chapter 43.21C RCW) 13 (see Exhibit "C" attached hereto). 14 15 29. Throughout the comprehensive planning process, workshops, meetings and hearings 16 have been advertised through a wide variety of media, including direct mailings to 17 City Utility customers and individuals on the City's Comprehensive Plan Mailing List, 18 legal ads and display ads in the Port Townsend - Jefferson CqMn1y Leader, and 19 announcements broadcast on Port Townsend cable television station (Channel 8). 20 21 30. In addition to advertisements for meetings, workshops and hearings, the City has 22 widely disseminated information regarding important issues for community discussion, 23 and key recommendations contained in the Draft Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. 24 Examples of these public information efforts are detailed in findings #31 through #35, 25 below. 26 27 31. In November, 1995, the Port Townsend - Jefferson County Leader ran an insert 28 entitled "Planning Port Townsend," which provided information on the planning 29 process and the three conceptual plan alternatives under consideration (i.e., Alternative 30 #1 - Residential Community; Alternative #2 - Neighborhood Community (Focussed 31 Growth); and Alternative #3 - Urban Community (Concentrated Economic Growth)). 32 This insert also contained an informal preference questionnaire regarding the 33 conceptual plan alternatives; more than 100 responses to this questionnaire were 34 returned to City Hall, and the results were tabulated and reviewed by the citizen 35 workgroups. 36 37 32. In August, 1995, the City prepared a 25 minute video describing major issues 38 addressed by the Draft Plan and encouraged residents to become involved in the 39 planning process. This video was broadcast a total of 30 times on local Cable 40 Channel 8, and was available for free rental at local video stores, City Hall, and the 41 Port Townsend Library. 42 43 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 4 JULY 15, 1996 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 9 of 510 1 33. Over the course of the planning process, five articles written by the Mayor and City 2 Councilmembers have been published in the Port Townsend - Jefferson Cognv Leader 3 describing the planning process, important issues for community discussion, and how 4 to become involved in the process. Articles published by the Leader include: 5 a. "Please Join Us in Planning Port Townsend' by Councilmember Dan Harpole 6 in November, 1994; 7 b. "The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan: 'Our Legacy for the Future"' by 8 then Mayor John Clise in May, 1995; 9 C. "The Land Use Chapter - The 'Heart' of the City's Draft Comprehensive Plan" 10 by Councilmember Bill Davidson in February, 1996; 11 d.

"Port Townsend's Draft Comprehensive Plan: Providing Public Facilities & 15 Services Within Our Financial Resources" by Councilmember Ted Shoulberg 16 and Mayor Julie McCulloch in February, 1996. 17 18 34. Prior to the Planning Commission's public hearings beginning in March, 1996, Draft 19 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan display boards were set up at key locations 20 throughout town, including: City Hall; the Port Townsend Library; Safeway; the Port 21 Townsend Food Co-Op; and Stock Market Foods. These displays were comprised of 22 the draft Land Use Map, the Community Direction Statement, text highlighting 23 important policy issues for community discussion and major recommendations of the 24 Draft Plan, and text describing how to participate in the process. 25 26 35. To promote community involvement in the development of the Plan, the Mayor, City 27 Councilmembers and staff visited local service clubs (i.e., Chamber of Commerce, 28 Rotary, Lions, and Soroptimists) on ten occasions between the summer of 1995 and 29 spring of 1996. These presentations highlighted key issues for community discussion, 30 the major policy recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Workgroups, and 31 encouraged citizen involvement in the planning process. 32 33 36. As more fully described in finding #37, below, the Port Townsend Comprehensive 34 Plan meets the requirements of the Act, including, but not limited to, the required 35 elements concerning Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Capital Facilities and 36 Utilities, and in addition, the optional element of Economic Development as allowed 37 by the Act. 38 39 37. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan contains goals, policies, implementing 40 strategies and a land use map intended to establish the character, quality and pattern of 41 the future physical development of the City. The Plan specifies the amount and 42 location of land for various land uses, and the density and intensity of development 43 allowed. Important direction provided by the Plan includes: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 5 JULY 15, 1996 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 10 of 510 1 a. The designation of five new "mixed use centers" intended to serve as focal 2 points for new or emerging neighborhoods and to help promote pedestrian 3 friendly areas with small scale neighborhood shopping and services (i.e., the 4 new C-I/MU and C-II/MU designations); 5 b. The designation of significant additional land for commercial and 6 manufacturing development, in order to help provide the retail, service, and 7 employment opportunities needed by the community (i.e., including the new C- 8 I/MU, C-RAW, C-II(H), MIC, M-II(A), and M-II(B) designations); 9 C. The designation of significant additional land for moderate and higher density 10 multi-family development in order to encourage more diverse and affordable 11 housing types (i.e., the new R-III and R-IV designations); 12 d.

A policy which directs that duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes be allowed in all 17 single-family residential districts (i.e., R-I and R-II designations) consistent 18 with the underlying density requirements of such districts; 19 f. Policies intended to promote the creation of a City-wide system of 20 interconnected open spaces and trails; 21 g. Policies intended to provide more opportunities and support for pedestrians, 22 bicyclists, and transit riders, while at the same time allowing the construction 23 of narrower streets to provide newer neighborhoods with a continuity found in 24 older sections of the City; 25 h. A Capital Facilities and Utilities Element which establishes level of service 26 standards and concurrency requirements, lists capital improvements, details 27 construction and funding schedules for capital projects over the next six years, 28 and provides a clear policy framework for providing adequate urban public 29 facilities and services to address current needs and new growth and 30 development; and 31 i. An optional Economic Development Element which includes a strategy which 32 seeks to maximize Port Townsend's potential for future economic growth in a 33 manner consistent with community and environmental values. 34 35 38. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan provides clear policy direction for the 36 preparation of new development regulations and a new official zoning map; however 37 the City's new development regulations and new official zoning map will not be 38 consistent with, and implement, the Comprehensive Plan upon adoption of this 39 ordinance. 40 41 42 43 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 2539 ADOPTION ORDINANCE 6 JULY 15, 1996 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 11 of 510 1 39.

This 20-3 ear plan articulates the community's vision and reflects community values. The goals and policies included in this Plan provide a basis for the Citv's land use regulations and are intended to guide future decision-making.It also addresses anticipated population and employment growth, and how facilities and services will be maintained or improved to accommodate expected growth. THE PLANNING PROCESS Why Plan? All of us make financial plans, travel plans, and work plans that reflect personal goals and objectives. Cities plan for the same reasons each of us make plans as individuals -plans help us to organize our time and to work toward our goals in a step-by-step fashion that saves time,money and effort. Planning simply makes good sense. City planning is very similar to personal planning,but it involves more factors, a lot more money, and is intended to serve the best interests of the community rather than the individual. In response to the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA) the Cit, adopted a GMA-compliant Comprehensive Plan in 1996. Numerous refinements were made in subsequent annual updates and during the 2008 mid-cycle assessment. This 2016 update responds to the GMA requirement for periodic review. It also conforms to County-wide Planning Policies. Be€ove- 0 The tte Plan is intended to reflect the goals and values of today's residents. Port Townsend is our legacy for the future. Prior generations set the basic growth patterns and handed down to us a city rich in history, architecture, and natural beauty. This iie Comprehensive Plan allows a new generation to define its contribution to Port Townsend. As such, the Plan is a statement of confidence, optimism and belief in ourselves, a statement that our community can change without losing its essential character. The iiew Comprehensive Plan attempts to clearly state the community's vision for its future,and how to get there from here. There are many difficult questions that the Plan seeks to answer: • What areas are best for development, and what areas should be preserved in their natural state? • Where should we locate new housing,industry, commerce and public facilities? • How can we encourage "infill" development in neighborhoods while also maintaining the ~r.o._~ s fter4 eiii a�~heif character that makes them livable and unique? Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 19 of 510 • How can wee encourage "mixed use" commercial and residential development in certain key locations? • How should we design and lay out new streets? • What strategies should we use to increase the "walkability" of our town? • How can we most effectively work to develop an interconnected system of parks, open spaces,and trails? • How can we best prepare and adapt to a host of future conditions including changes in our climate? • What can we do to ensure a strong local economy? • How can we help to make housing more affordable to Port Townsend residents? • How will we pay for all this? In sum,how can we manage growth to maintain and achieve the kind of community we want? The ttew Comprehensive Plan attempts to answer these questions. What is the Comprehensive Plan? Required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GN A) of 1990, the Comprehensive Plan consists of a Land Use Map designating the desired use of lands for various activities, and goals and policies to guide government and private decision-makers in determining how Port Townsend will grow,look,and operate in the future. The Plan reflects the results of citizen involvement, technical analysis, and the)udgement of the Port Townsend City Council. The Plan anticipates change and provides specific guidance for growth and development in the City over the next 20 years by defining: • How much population and)ob growth is anticipated shot'a oeett f, and where it should be located; • What type of transportation improvements,utilities,and public facilities must be provided to serve our future population and employment; • Where people will live and what type of housing they will need; and • How to pay for the utilities and public facilities needed to carry out the community's vision. Who Created the Comprehensive Plan? (A Summary of Public Involvement Efforts) Public participation ism vital to the success of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Planning process. The City has codified a public participation process in the municipal code and,for major updates.the City has elected to expand on the traditional workshops,hearings, and opportunities for written comment. For example. Ordinance 2539 adopting the 1996 Comprehensive Plan documents over 1,400 hours of citizen discussion and more than 600 citizen responses to a Questionnaire as part of the Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 20 of 510 PT 2020 Coffee Hour. As part of the 2016 Periodic Update.the City held a town meeting conducted an online survey, and launched"SpeakUp Port Townsend", an online discussion forum. Fie€eedback from the public enabled the Planning Commission and City Council to reach decisions on key policy issues for the 1996 Plan, subsequent updatesfftta and implementing programs, as well as for the 2016 Periodic Update. &tt P..__ .. l 2020.

At its core, the Plan contains four fundamental concepts w-kieh that are highlighted below. Maintaining Our Small Town Character The overriding objective of the Plan is to maintain and enhance Port Townsend's special character and small town atmosphere. As our community grows, the very character that attracted residents here in the first place is threatened.The Plan contains two very important areas of policy direction designed to preserve our community's essential character while planning for inevitable growth and development. First, the Plan encourages the development of"mixed use centers" surrounded by strong and diverse neighborhoods,similar to the area surrounding the uptown intersection of Lawrence and Tyler Streets today. These centers are intended to serve as focal points for new or emerging neighborhoods and to help promote pedestrian friendly areas with small scale neighborhood shopping and services. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 22 of 510 Second,the Plan includes policies_- that would lead to the creation of a City-wide interconnected system of open spaces and trails.These green spaces would help to protect the small town atmosphere of Port Townsend while providing other benefits,including stormwater control and linking key wildlife areas. Achieving a Better Balance Between jobs & Housing Another major objective of the Plan is to help address the "jobs/housing imbalance." There are many more people living in Port Townsend than there are good jobs. Because good jobs are hard to find, many Port Townsend residents pay more than they can really afford for housing. The Plan seeks to remedy this imbalance in two important ways. First, the Plan contains an economic development strategy that is designed to encourage businesses _- that provide "family wage" jobs -jobs that pay good money, so that we and our children can afford to live and work in Port Townsend. It seeks to balance economic vitality with environmental protection and preservation of our small town atmosphere. Second, the Plan contains an affordable housing strategy__that provides more land for higher density development, allows more creative housing types, and increases the housing choices available to City residents. Taken together, the affordable housing and economic development strategies should help to make housing more affordable for Port Townsend residents in the decades to come. Accommodating Port Townsend's Share of County-Wide Growth One of the purposes of the GNIA is to limit sprawling urban density development in rural and resource lands.To accomplish this goal,the GNLA,makes clear that a substantial amount of new growth should be planned and provided for within cities and urban growth areas (UGAs)— Ft fe) , and to do it in a compact, urban manner. By mutual agreement, and based upon recent demographic data,Jefferson County and the City have determined that Port Townsend's share of County-wide growth will be approximately 2,711 ^�people during the period between 201688 and 2036-24.This would increase the City's total population from 9,454 to a total population of 12,165 by 2036 Refferson Count Reso.BM. No. 38-15 , ( _rs� , October 26, 2015)]._ Providing Public Facilities & Services Within the City's Financial Resources This Comprehensive Plan is designed to balance the need for additional public facilities and services with the City's ability to pay for them. Prior to 19961ft die 3as ,Plans often contained a"wish list" of capital projects with no demonstrated ability to fund the necessary improvements. This Comprehensive Plan repfesews ffdistiiief aep ff fy v„ r(3 p sets measurable standards for public facilities and services (i.e.,level of service standards), states what specific capital projects will be constructed, and identifies the sources of revenue__that will be used to fund the necessary improvements. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 23 of 510 Policies concerning"concurrency" are also a key component of the Plan. Concurrency is the concept of providing certain facilities and services at or before the time of approval of new development projects. The Plan requires that adequate water, sewer, stormwater,and transportation facilities be provided concurrent with new development . How Will the Plan Be Implemented? Adopting the Comprehensive Plan is the City's first important step towards realizing the community's vision.The overall vision will only be achieved as__e the Plan is implemented over time.A number of tools are used to implement the Comprehensive Plan.The Zoning Code contains a set of regulations to direct land use and design as new development or redevelopment occurs. Growth is also directed in compliance with the City's land use and community character goals through careful planning for the location and sizing of capital facilities. Policies related to the arts,recreation or human senTices support programs related to cultural, recreational,or social needs. Capital facilities enhancements such as decorative street lighting carr policies on community character. Programs, such as "safe routes to school"and neighborhood enhancement grants help implement policies on neighborhood character or safety Povf- fffftt... ' limplementation efforts consist of short-term and long-term actions. Some of the short-term actions include fe-,4sixgreviewing the City's municipal code (e.g.,zoning and subdivision ordinances) to ensure implementation of the vision,goals, and policies of the Plan.Long-term actions include preparation of functional plans (e.g.,Stormwater Functional Plan, , Transportation Functional Plan, etc.) and neighborhood or subarea plans e.g.. Howard Street Corridor Subarea Plan. Functional and subarea plans do not require amendment of the Comprehensive Plan;provided, that they fitttefiottffl 13 implements and areas consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

The City will monitor,evaluate,and amend the Plan as conditions change, and develop a capital investment program that allocates resources to projects that will spur development in the direction envisioned in the Plan. PROFILE OF PORT TOWNSEND Port Townsend Yesterday Long before the advent of zoning or planning enabling legislation, much of Port Townsend's basic land use pattern was established. During the Victorian era of the late 19th century, over 14,470 small city lots were platted,typified by the 50'by 100'parcel.In 1935,Washington passed the State Planning Enabling Act,giving authority to cities to establish planning programs. During the two decades that followed the Second World War,the pace of development decreased and empty stores and homes symbolized the military's departure from Fort Worden.As the size of the City dwindled, there seemed little need to plan for the future growth of the City. During the late 1950s, Port Townsend defied news and national magazine reports of its future as a ghost town. In 1958, the community succeeded in attracting a state--ownedjuvenile diagnostic and treatment center to Port Townsend.In an effort to ensure the protection of the City's historical legacy, and to improve the economic fortunes of the community, the City Council appointed the Port Townsend Planning Commission in 1962. Charged with the responsibility to make ongoing, policy-oriented recommendations regarding the overall development of the City, the Commission produced the first City of Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan in 1968.This Plan was implemented in 1971 with the passage of the first Port Townsend Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The heart of this implementing ordinance continues to guide Port Townsend's growth and development today. During the 1970s,two notable state laws affected land use regulation in Port Townsend: the Shoreline Management Act(SMA) and the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA).Aside from the City's efforts to implement these two important pieces of legislation, only minimal revisions were made to Port Townsend's zoning code during this period. In 1979, a thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan was undertaken by the Planning Commission with assistance from the Jefferson County Planning Department.Although this updated Plan(adopted in 1981) made substantial alterations to the 1968 Plan, the basic land use patterns remained unchanged. By 1987,with development pressures from the greater Puget Sound area reaching out to touch the edges of Port Townsend, the City recognized the need to establish a Planning Department and hire its first part-time planner.During the late 1980s,City leaders initiated two important planning processes that focused attention on developing goals and policies to guide development from Port Townsend's highway entrance to its historic waterfront area.These efforts culminated in the adoption of two important components of today's planning policy framework: the Port Townsend Urban Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 26 of 510 Waterfront Plan;and the Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan.These policy documents set the stage for complying with the GNIA mandate to prepare a new Comprehensive Plan in 1996. Although there have been some refinements to the 1996 Comprehensive Plan,the Community Vision and fundamental concepts remain relevant and intact.This 2016 Periodic Update is not an overhaul of the existing121an and regulations;rather,this update will reflect new public input,changes in state law, and new population and employment growth forecasts. Port Townsend Today Who Lives in Port Townsend?

Over the next twent3�Vears,Port Townsend's current population is expected to increase bL,711 to a total population of 12,165 by 2036.1 This projection anticipates that the Cit,r''ss population will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 1.27% over the course of the 121anning12eriod 2016-2036). Out of 7,398 persons aged 25 ,years or older in Port Townsend in 2013, 95.8% had high school diplomas. Another 42.4% had a bachelor's degree or graduate degree. These figures are above the State of Washington averages. The State percentage of persons 25 ,years or older with a high school diploma was 90.0%,and 31.9%had a bachelor's degree or higher. Over the period between 1990 and 2013, Port Townsend's population has not only grown older, but more educated. 2 Ottf of 6,266 0 offifts n 2000, 0 hftd hftehel f deg-fees of hi�ef.

B3�comparison,City residents (but not those in the Count) tend to be underrepresented in occupations such as farming/fishing/forestry, construction/extraction, and production. Both City and County residents are also underrepresented in other industrial related occupations such as building grounds maintenance, maintenance repair.transportation, and moving. This occupational mix is consistent with an overall lower average wage structure as is further detailed in the Economic Development Element.6 6 Source: Washington State Employment Security Department(ESD).cited in Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Stud lanuary 30.2015.E.D.Hovee&Company.LLC and Spinnaker Strategies Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 29 of 510 BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan In recognition of the need for improved municipal guidance and control in the urban waterfront planning area, the Waterfront Plan was adopted by the City Council in December of 1990. The Waterfront Plan was a detailed plan for the Urban Waterfront area that addressed: • Uses of public and private properties; • Height and bulk of structures; • Housing and transient accommodations; • Open space; • Pedestrian and vehicular circulation throughout the planning area•, • Physical and visual connections throughout the planning area; • Physical and visual connections to the rest of the waterfront and from the bluff above; and • New urban design guidelines and regulations. The Waterfront Plan was among the first steps in the City's attempts to revise and update its Comprehensive Plan. Urban design guidelines and regulations originating in the Waterfront Plan were later codified in Chapter 17.30 Historic Overlay District-Design Revien)of the PTMC. In 2007, the City adopted an updated Shoreline Master Program. To improve efficiency, the master program incorporated relevant policies, regulations, and design recommendations from the Waterfront Plan and the stand alone Waterfront Plan was retired. , 1. Port Townsend Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) (formerly the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Ordinance) Originall-3�adopted in 1992 (Ordinance 2319) as an interim ordinance, the Ci1y's Critical Areas Ordinance, ' Setisi five o felts O flit fttiee (Chapter 19.05 Port Townsend Municipal Code)_identifies and regulates to protect"critical areas" as required by the GMA. Port Townsend's CAOF'S^ o fditt ffft regulates development in order to avoid adverse impacts when possible, to reduce adverse impacts when avoidance is not feasible, and to compensate for adverse impacts. Port Townsend's CAORSA ovdittffttee defines and establishes standards for the protection of five types of areas: • Aquifer Recharge Areas; • Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas; • Frequently Flooded Areas and Critical Drainage Corridors; Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 30 of 510 • Geologically Hazardous Areas; and • Wetlands. In 2005,the City amended the CAO to incorporate best available science consistent with amendments to the GMA. Port Townsend Gateway Development Plan Adopted by the City Council in August of 1993, Gateway represented the culmination of over three years of active citizen involvement_Gateway expands upon an earlier "concept plan" adopted in May of 1988. The Plan identifies specific transportation improvements for capital development and establishes development guidelines for the Sims Way/S.R. 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 Plan incorporates three primary goals into a comprehensive transportation redevelopment strategy: • Traffic Safety; • Streetscape Improvements and Aesthetics; and • Economic Vitality. The County-Wide Planning Policy (CWPP) for Jefferson County In Jefferson County, the first step in coordinated planning efforts called for by the GMA occurred in December 1992 with the adoption of the CWPP. The CWPP addresses eight subject areas;and is intended to be used as a guiding framework for subsequent development and adoption of comprehensive plans. The CWPP specifically deals with the following: • The designation of urban growth areas (UGAs) (CWPP #1); • Promotion of contiguous and orderly development and the provision of services to such development (CWPP #2); • Joint City and County planning within urban growth areas (CWPP #3); • The siting of essential public facilities of a county or state-wide significance (CWPP #4); • County-wide transportation facilities and strategies (CWPP #5); • The need for affordable housing for all economic segments of the population (CWPP #6); • County-wide economic development and employment (CWPP #7); and • Analysis of fiscal impact(s) (CWPP #8). Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 31 of 510 Port Townsend 2020: Getting Together (PT 2020) In May of 1993,Port Townsend sponsored the PT 2020 pro)ect to seek new and more comfortable ways for citizens to express their feelings,hopes, and concerns about the future of the City. Approximately 600 citizens participated in 80 "coffee hours" and school—sponsored events to provide the information that ultimately was incorporated within the report. The results of this public involvement effort were summarized and later used as the basis for preparing the Community Direction Statement in Chapter R-P-3 of this Plan. Similarities of the "Building Blocks" Each of the five "building blocks" described above provided direction for the development of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan. Concepts commonly found within these documents include: • Maintaining a sense of community and small town atmosphere: • Preserving and maintaining Port Townsend's special places; • Encouraging economic diversity; • Providing affordable housing for all citizens; • Protecting the environment; and • Greater citizen involvement in the development of planning policies and regulations. PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE (ASSUMPTIONS FOR PORT TOWNSEND'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN) The following basic assumptions about Port Townsend's future formed the basis for this Comprehensive Plan. The assumptions influenced the development of each of the Comprehensive Plan elements. Formatb bullets or • Port Townsend will continue to be the retailing, service,government, medical, and transportation center for eastern Jefferson County. Diversification of the local economy will cause the City to reevaluate its historic land use patterns,ozone more land for commercial or manufacturing uses,and encourage housing types suitable for working families. Shoreline areas that are necessary for the continued vitality of the marine trade industries will continue to be protected and reserved for such uses. • Port Townsend will remain the principal city of Jefferson County, and as the population of the area continues to grow and age, the City's role as the activity center for governmental, professional, and medical and social services within the County will grow. Given the trend toward an aging population,the City will need to take a more active role in realizing an appropriate)obs/housing balance to support a community diverse in age and income. • Port Townsend and the surrounding portions of unincorporated Jefferson County will remain an attractive place to live, and population growth will continue to increase primarily Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 32 of 510 as a result of in-migration. • Port Townsend's citizens will remain active in the affairs of City government and planning, and will demand that growth and development be responsive to the desires of the community,with an emphasis on maintaining Port Townsend's special places and high quality of life rather than encouraging growth for growth's sake. • As areas within Port Townsend become more densely developed, the demand for public services and amenities will also grow,requiring local government to plan for and provide the services and facilities necessary to serve the growth in a sustainable manner. • Like other local governments,.-Port Townsend will be forced to rely even more heavily on local sources of revenue as state and federal funding of community services and capital improvements becomes increasingly difficult-to obtain. As a result, the City will hrrave to reexamine traditional land use patterns in order to make the most effective use of its capital facilities investments. • The majority of Port Townsend's new residential development will occur in previously platted areas. • As the area recovers from the 2008 recession, t-There will be significant commercial redevelopment activity along the Highway 20 corridor and in Port Townsend's Commercial Historic District. • As vacant and developable land becomes more scarce and population continues to grow,the cost of housing is projected w4l eoiitiiitteto rise at a faster rate than personal income. Balancing the demand for seasonal homes and tourist accommodations with the need for affordable permanent housing will continue to be a challenge.—This will force the City to reexamine traditional housing and residential development patterns. • Although improvements will be made and greater emphasis will be placed upon public transportation and pedestrian and bicycle travel,the private automobile will continue to be a significant form of transportation for the majority of Port Townsend and Jefferson County residents. Port Townsend must consider revisions to its traditional land use patterns and development regulations to promote greater use of pedestrian and bicycle routes and its public transportation investment. • Concerns about water quality and wildlife preservation,as well as other environmental issues, will continue to generate changes to state and federal laws,which will also impact local land use planning requirements and development regulations. • Port Townsend's economy will expand,tourism will remain important to the local economy, and the marine trades will increase in economic importance.The Port of Port Townsend will also focus more attention on promoting marine trades and providing the necessary improvements to sustain these uses. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 33 of 510 • Port Townsend will experience growth in citizen interest in the arts and cultural activities as the population increases.This growth will result in increased attendance at local art, cultural, educational, and recreational events, and create a demand for new and improved facilities. • An increasingly dense population will create greater demand for recreation facilities and open space, and Port Townsend will need to specifically identify recreational and open space needs. • Port Townsend will continue to provide municipal public services (e.g.,water and wastewater) to the residents of the City and water service to certain portions of unincorporated Jefferson County, as they become designated UGAs or are included within areas to be served by the City through the City's Comprehensive Water System Plan. UNCERTAINTY OF ASSUMPTIONS (CHANGES BEYOND ANYONE'S CONTROL) All comprehensive plans are based upon a set of assumptions about trends and events that are likely to occur. However,we cannot predict the future,,we can only adopt growth strategies based upon our best understanding of likely growth trends and the consequences of implementing a particular strategy. The projected population growth used throughout this Plan may not accurately represent changes in population trends due to currenfly unknown factors, such as climate change. Unforeseen events can affect the amount,rate, composition,and location of future)ob growth, demand for housing,vehicle trip generation, and land development. For example, the decision of a mayor employer to move into or out of Port Townsend could significantly affect Port Townsend's Plan. Construction of a mayor business park, a decision regarding the future viability of the Port Townsend Paper Mill, changes in lifestyles, shifts in the global economy energy shortages,natural disasters, and technological advancements are events beyond the control of the City that could alter the assumptions used in the comprehensive planning process. Global scale environmental degradation and climate change all point to possible large scale changes in the coming decades. The potential for sea level rise of several feet over the next 100 .increased severity of storms with higher force winds and heavier rainfall,changes in the h,r�drographic regime and water availabilitdeclining snowpack, lower summer river flows. higher winter flows and increased river temperatures) all create uncertainties for the future. How these changes will impact us in future decades at the local level is unclear. Further innovations in how people work, such as internet-based)obs or the growth of a sharing_ economy, and how people live, such as community co-housing and smaller houses,will also present challenges to past assumptions. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 34 of 510 Unforeseen events and changes to growth treands will cause Port Townsend and other jurisdictions to periodically reevaluate their comprehensive plans. Plan amendments are anticipated to occur regularly over the life of this Comprehensive Plan. r ,ftiid iiieofpoffffed (.

It is important, therefore, to understand what Port Townsend citizens want their city to be like in 20 years and beyond,what they want to preserve, and what they want to change." (from Port Townsend 2020: Getting Together, Final Report) Port Townsend is our legacy for the future. Each generation makes its contribution. This Comprehensive Plan is today's attempt to define and refine our legacy to Port Townsend. Our dream of how Port Townsend should be and could be for generations to come is presented in this Plan. Such a plan is a statement of confidence, optimism and belief in ourselves, a statement that our community can change without losing its essential character. This Direction Statement sets forth the framework for carrying out this planning effort. In the future, the Direction Statement will be referred to when the Plan is interpreted or amended to ensure that the basic values it embodies are not lost. The Direction Statement is in the present tense, as if we were speaking of Port Townsend today.While our vision is to protect most characteristics of today's town, the vision should be read as describing the community we wish Port Townsend to become in the next 20 years. We envision Port Townsend as eastern Jefferson County's economic and cultural center, Port Townsend is the County seat, and the center of eastern Jefferson County's economy and employment. A diversity of commercial and industrial activities flourish and provide meaningful employment opportunities for residents. The area accommodates a strong retail center catering to residents and tourists alike. Tourism is integrated into the local economy,while at the same time, the affordability of housing,goods and services is maintained for residents, and the livability of the community endures. Cottage based industries and low impact light manufacturing have a strong presence in the community. An important concentration of incubator industries is also found here. The urban waterfront along Port Townsend Bay is anchored at either end by marinas and port areas devoted to the City's marine-related commerce and industry. These areas are essential to the character of Port Townsend as a working waterfront town. A regional center of culture and learning. Port Townsend provides its citizens with quality elementary and secondary instruction, as well as career training and college education needed for success and personal enrichment.The City offers world class arts and entertainment and continually celebrates its cultural and historical assets by hosting many exciting festivals and events. Anywhere in town,we are only a convenient bike ride or walk from work, classes, dining, entertainment and home. This closeness reinforces the tie between Port Townsend's economy, culture and a large residential community People live here because they enjoy being in the midst of the natural beauty and cultural amenities of Port Townsend. a community with a sense of history and place, Founded in 1851, the City harbors a National Historic District and a wealth of superb Victorian era homes recognized on the National Historic Register. These historic buildings provide a magnificent backdrop and preserve a tangible link to Port Townsend's vanished dreams of being the preeminent city of the Puget Sound region. Structures and places of historical importance are surrounded by new Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 38 of 510 compatible development. Following the Highway 20/Sims Way Corridor, a procession of distinctive buildings have been added to Port Townsend's architectural heritage. Port Townsend is a vital and active place that retains a small town atmosphere and a strong sense of community. In its retail districts, sidewalks are lined with busy shops that cater to residents as well as visitors. Historic commercial buildings,long established residential areas,and parks,town squares and streets lined with trees give the City an atmosphere of relaxed permanence. Parks,gateways and walkways are rich with historical monuments and public art. Buses, trails and bikeways provide useful transportation options for workers, shoppers and visitors and dependence upon the automobile is diminished. The City is pedestrian oriented, and neighbors greet one another as they walk by for work, play or exercise. The City's tree-lined walks, trails and streets provide shade and habitat and reinforce Port Townsend's network of green spaces. Open spaces offering an opportunity for rest,views, contemplation and enjoyment of the natural environment are found throughout the City.These public spaces are free of litter,well maintained and richly planted with flora that blends with the native vegetation. a place that prizes its natural setting, The natural setting of this "Key City" of the Peninsula is accentuated with buildings and green spaces that combine with the lower Olympics, the Cascades and marine vistas to create a dramatic backdrop for an attractive and memorable place. By ferry, the City is the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula's natural wonders. The air is fresh and the adjacent waters of Port Townsend Bay,Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca are clean,full of marine life,and easily accessible.The downtown waterfront is an attraction that offers cultural,educational and social opportunities that reinforce the City's natural setting. The Waterwalk provides people a pedestrian path along the shore of Port Townsend Bay, tying the City's shoreline together from the Olympic Discovery Trail to Fort Worden State Park and North Beach. The walk connects the waterfront with a larger network of trails that lead to surrounding districts and residential neighborhoods. This loop also unites an extensive system of parks and open spaces,including many environmentally sensitive areas that provide significant wildlife habitat The City's urban wildlife corridors provide vital links between critical wetland habitats, drainage corridors and other protected areas. These corridors connect with a larger network of wildlife movement routes that extend beyond the City and into the County,ultimately leading to the Olympic National Forest and Park. a great place to live, A wide choice of housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles and incomes. Residential development is centered in distinct neighborhoods that are safe, secure,and have identities and characters of their own. Opportunities for socializing,recreation,quiet and solitude are all close at hand, as are facilities and events that enrich the body,mind and spirit. a town that cares, Social and health services are available and provide dignified care to dependent residents. The community offers training and support for those able to become more independent. Port Townsend's Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 39 of 510 elderly and special needs populations are appreciated for making valuable contributions to the life of the community and are afforded convenient access to transportation and other human services. Volunteerism remains essential to the fabric of the community. Citizen volunteers enrich the community by donating their time and services to a wide variety of community organizations, artistic and cultural endeavors, environmental protection and enhancement efforts, and efforts that aid disadvantaged segments of the population. The youth of Port Townsend are recognized as an important part of the community. The City cultivates opportunities for the youth of our town to play, socialize, find entertainment,work, and be involved in extra-curricular experiences. where we work together. The public and private sectors work together pursuing the continued strength and growth of Port Townsend's economy, diverse employment base, and cultural and educational opportunities. City government is open and accessible. It provides leadership in promoting and implementing public policy. Government is willing and able to respond quickly, creatively, and efficiently to provide innovative ways of meeting the challenges facing the community. City and County governments cooperate to solve common problems.The private sector participates in the success of government by actively helping in decision-making and adding its talents to help solve community problems. Regulations,laws and policies are enforced with equity and justice. Development is orderly and predictable. The inhabitants of Port Townsend feel, and are, safe. The City's residents respect the opinions, as well as the cultural and ethnic diversity of their fellow citizens. While discussion of civic issues remains robust,residents communicate with one another and elected officials in a considerate manner. Business supports the cultural and educational life of Port Townsend. Government encourages business, civic and neighborhood organizations to participate in decision-making and in helping it honestly evaluate its successes and failures. Above all,our hope for the future becomes the City's promise to maintain and enhance Port Townsend's special character and small town atmosphere!

The Land Use Element is designed to help Port Townsend achieve its vision of maintaining or improving the community's character, environmentemployment base, and quality of life while accommodating projected growth and improving community resilience and adaptability to changing circumstances. General patterns of land use in Port Townsend a-_w--a`he --&tf '"'7effvs w4l bear influenced significantly by the City's development history. This 1Land ttUse eElement builds upon the City's history while looking to its future. It acknowledges that Port Townsend's "special places" include its historical structures and natural features, and that there is community support to protect these resources from incompatible development. 0 —B7 199 4, ot-A7 ffbottf > soffie of the feffiffining 10,585 Future land use planning in Port Townsend is guided by the goal that all uses -residential, commercial,manufacturing, open space, and public facilities -be carefully planned to maintain or enhance the City's small town atmosphere. A balance of land uses is sought in this element to provide more opportunities for residents of Port Townsend to find meaningful employment and affordable housing,while retaining and protecting the environment and unique character of the community. Many aspects of this element will look familiar to City residents. Where a call is made for change,it is to enhance Port Townsend's small town atmosphere and carry out the desires of residents, as described in the Community Direction Statement (see Chapter 444-3 of this Plan). PLANNING CONTEXT Growth Management Act Requirements The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires cities to prepare a land use element and land use map.- Together, this element and the Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 43 of 510 land use man will guide future land uses for the next 20 years. The GNLA,requires that the land use element of the comprehensive plan address the following topics: ❑ Agricultural Lands ❑ Timber Lands ❑ Residential Areas ❑ Commercial Areas ❑ Manufacturing Areas ❑ Public Utilities ❑ Open Space ❑ Recreation ❑ Public Facilities ❑ Essential Public Facilities (regional) ❑ Population Densities ❑ Building Intensities ❑ Future Population Growth ❑ Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) ❑ Flooding, Stormwater and Water Quality Wherever possible. the Land Use Element should consider utilizing urban planning annroaches that promote physical activity Each of these topics is addressed by the Land Use Element goals and policies, and the Land Use Map. > County-wide Planning Policies Port Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA) Under the GMA, "urban growth" is defined as growth that makes intensive use of land for the location of buildings, structures, and impermeable surfaces. The Act makes it clear that urban growth must occur only within designated urban growth areas (UGAs), and that counties,rather than cities, are responsible for designating UGA boundaries. The City of Port Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA) contains apnroximatelL.460 acres. The UGA boundary is coterminous with the incorporated city limits. The City of Port Townsend is one of two UGAs in east Jefferson County, along with the recently established Port Hadlock Irondale UGA. The Glen Cove area,lying near to the eCity's corporate limits,has been designated as a limited area of more intensive rural development, or"LAMIRD," by Jefferson County. The City will periodically inventory and assess its available supply of residential, mixed-use, commercial and industrial lands to determine whether additional land supply is needed. If it is determined that additional land is needed to accommodate projected growth, the city should seek to Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 44 of 510 rezone land within the existing city limits before identifying areas outside the city limits for expansion of the city's UGA and potential annexation. In conformance with the county-wide planning policies for Jefferson County, the eCity and the eCounty should continue to coordinate planning efforts. ; Land Use Alap The Port Townsend Planning Area The "planning area" includes all of the lands within the present City limits, and portions of the Glen Cove area that have the potential to be included within the City's UGA, as discussed above. In 1996, -The City whas been divided into 11 conceptual subareas, as indicated on Figure TV-44=2 on page TV-4-5. The adoption and incorporation of subarea plans into the Comprehensive Plan adds greater detail, guidance and predictability to future development. Subarea plans include plans for neighborhoods, corridors, Urban Reserve areas, special districts and joint planning areas. The City has already prepared several subarea plans, such as the Urban Waterfront Plan (incorporated into the 2007 Shoreline Master Program update), Gateway Development Plan, and the Draft Point Hudson Master Plan. A subarea plan is envisioned for the Howard Street Corridor. The subareas used in the preparation of this Plan build upon those previously established. , Shoreline Master Program In November 1972, the people of the State of Washington enacted the Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58). The primary purpose of the Act is to provide for the management and protection of the state's shoreline resources by planning for reasonable and appropriate uses. The law provides a two-tier planning and regulatory program by the state and local government. By law, the City is responsible for preparation of a "Master Program" in accordance with the policies and requirements of the Act and the State Shoreline Guidelines (WAC 173-26). The eCity must also develop a permit system in accordance with the requirements of the Act. In 2007, the City's updated Shoreline Master Program (SMP),prepared in accordance with the Shoreline Guidelines,was adopted by the state. The City's SMP is a stand-alone document with an adoption by reference to the City's Critical Areas Ordinance (Ordinance 2899) and surface water management manual. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.480, the goals and policies and Environment Designations Map of a shoreline master program shall be considered an element of the city's comprehensive plan. All other portions of the shoreline master program,including use regulations, shall be considered a part of the city's development regulations. , > 53 2, ff ffiittfffy 8, Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 45 of 510 J J Big & Little Quilcene Watersheds .

This Comprehensive Plan, and the Land Use Map contained within this element will shape how future growth will affect the City of Port Townsend. The Land Use Map will establish the appropriate locations for specific land uses, and the density and intensity of future development. Population & Employment Projections Under the GMA, all cities and counties must allow development densities sufficient to accommodate the next twent years of projected population and employment growth. d "ftte ff(3ffi 26,299 412000 f(3 4(4,139 by fhe yeftf 202 4).

Port Townsend's current population estimated at 9.454 for 2016) is expected to increase bL,711 to a total population of 12,165 by 2036. This projection anticipates that the City's population will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 1.27 % over the course of the planning period 2016-2036. This updated forecast and allocation anticipates a significant-)slower growth rate than was projected under the City's initial GMA Comprehensive Plan in 1996. In fact, the updated allocation anticipates a Port Townsend's 2036 population- will be 1.711 less than was projected for the year 2016 under the original GMA Plan.

Therefore, annual population estimates from the Office of Financial Management (OFM should be reviewed, and if the rate is substantiallLgher than anticipated,12opulation projections should be revisited and the plan revised accordingly. The City retained a consultant to review employment forecasts and to assess the feasibility of the Howard Street Corridor specificall)� (Appendix 4. E.D. Hovee: 2015). The Ci and greater Jefferson Coun , experienced significant losses as a result of the Great Recession. During the period 2006-13, the Coun , experienced a net loss of 1,340 jobs or an employment decline of 15%). As the area begins to recover from the Recession,job growth is projected to be somewhat more rapid in the first five ,years with continued economic recover, then somewhat slower thereafter. In the State of Washington. 10-,year employment forecasts are prepared for economic regions rather than on a count,Lpecific level.Jefferson County is included within the three-county OlLpic Consortium that also includes Clallam and Kitsap Counties. The most recent forecast (Ma3�2014) indicates a projected net gain for the three counties of 13,400 jobs from 2012-22. This equates to an annual average job growth rate of 1.1%per,year. Assuming Jefferson County e maintains a 7% share, about 940 added in-count3jobs could be expected within this 10-3 ear period. If this need is extrapolated forward over a longer term 20-,year time horizon (at compound growth rates) the total land need for high wage jobs for Jefferson County would come in at about 55 acres over 20 ,years at a minimum. The City envisions that development of the Howard Street Corridor will provide approximately acres of fully served, employment land including shovel-ready industrial acreage with the potential to create 1.465 jobs (representing 12.8% of the current countywide labor force). The development of the Howard Street Corridor is part of a strategy to address as ,vet unrecovered job loss from the Recession and match anticipated coun , ide population growth both currently and over the next 20 ey ars. 1 See Jefferson County Resolution No. 55 03.38-15 LAND USE MAP The Land Use Map represents the general future land use patterns that are desired for the City of Port Townsend within the 20-3 ear planning12eriod. The map is the City s "blueprint" for action and Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 51 of 510 graphically depicts where various land uses should be located. The goals and policies found within this chapter support and implement the Land Use Map. The Land Use Map and accompanying goals,policies and implementation steps should be used to evaluate future land use proposals. They are intended to guide both public and private actions. Although the Land Use Map is not a zoning map,it is sufficiently detailed to provide clear direction for amendments to the zoning map. This section describes the land use designations (see below) to be used in implementing the Land Use Map (see the map pocket at the back of this Plan*). The and Use Map is based on a number of factors including: • The Community Direction Statement (i.e., Chapter 444-3 of this Plan): • Physical and social/economic characteristics of the area•, • Existing development patterns; • Existing zoning; • Ownership patterns; • The condition of existing structures; • Several existing documents Sieh that provide guidance for future development,including: o Urban Waterfront Plan (incorporated into the 2007 Shoreline Master Program update); o Gateway Development Plan (i.e., Gateway); o Critical Areas Ordinance (i.e.,ICAO Ordinance); o Jefferson 2000 Strategic Plan; o County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County; and o Port Townsend 2020; Getting Together (i.e.,PT 2020). The Land Use Map indicates the type of future development desired for Port Townsend while allowing flexibility for previously approved development. It is important to keep in mind that this Plan addresses a 20=year time period. The changes that result from the implementation of this-pPlan will take place slowly and incrementally over time. , Land Use Map Designations The following categories and land use designations have been used in developing the Land Use Map, and are described more fully below: Residential L)esi,,ynations: Low Density: R-I (SF) up to 4 d.u. per acre i.e.. 10,000 s.f. minimum lot size Medium Density R-II (SF) up to 8 d.u. per acre i.e.. 5,000 s.f. minimum lot size Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 52 of 510 High Density R-IV (MF) a minimum of 15 units and a maximum of 24 units per 40,000 s.f. area , ., 5,000 fffeff -14—ed Ikon Design„t en-s Mixed Use Designations Neighborhood-Serving Mixed Use Center C-I/MU with moderate density multi-family residential Community-Serving Mixed Use Center C-II/MU with high density multi-family residential l;`oininercial Desiynations: Neighborhood Commercial: C-I General Commercial: C-II Hospital Commercial: C-II (H) Historic Commercial: C-III Marine-Related and Manufacturing Desiyriations: Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial: M/C Light Manufacturing: M-I Marine-Related Uses: M-IIA (Boat Haven) Marine-Related Uses: M-IIB (Point Hudson) Heavy Manufacturing: M-III Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 53 of 510 n7 )Q §44L, 6I.,,,,.,.,,,.., 6 )OOz 1y Park QRZ Open .51.:)ace L)esi,ynations: Existing Park& Open Space P/OS Potential Park& Open Space (overlay)—_P/OS(A) Mixed Public/Infrastructure/Open Space -P/OS(B) Other L)esi,ynations: Public/Infrastructure P-I Planned Iinit L)evelcpineffll(PI If)) L)esirinations: Residential R-PUD —Mixed Use MU-PUD Commercial/Manufacturing CM-PUD m„a n„ 24c §§:34, :34, it, ,r, 6 00:sq A L)esc°r°il)J:ion of the Land 1.1se L)esirinations This section provides a brief description of the land use designations_- that are listed above and shown on the Land Use Map.

The zoning ordinance will provide more detailed direction regarding the development of these areas, consistent with the policies of the overall plan. Residential L)esi,ynations R-I - Low Density Single-Family: This designation accommodates single-family residences (including duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes) at a density of up to 4 dwelling units per acre (i.e., 10,000 square foot minimum lot size, or approximately 4 dwelling units within one block of platted land). This land use designation has been applied only within drainage basins 4a and 4b in the northwestern portion of the City,because of stormwater-related development constraints. The designation accommodates single-family development at densities that maintain and promote the "small town” character of Port Townsend,while ensuring that the environmental quality (particularly as it relates to stormwater control) of the area is not adversely impacted. Higher densities could be permitted in these areas through approval of a Planned Unit Development (R-PUD) overlay designation. The designation also provides for a wide range of agricultural uses. , 1.1, (Deeeffibef 7, 1998+. R-II - Medium Density Single-Family: This designation accommodates single-family dwellings (including duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes) at a density of up to 8 units per acre (i.e., 5,000 square foot minimum lot size, or approximately 8 dwelling units within one block of platted land). The R-II designation corresponds closely to those areas of town that are currently platted to 8 lots a block, Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 54 of 510 include few development limitations, and which are in proximity to existing public facilities and services. Selected forms of agriculture are also allowed. , R-III - Medium Density Multi-Family: The R-III designation accommodates smaller scale multi- family structures (e.g., 5-12 dwellings per structure) at a minimum density of 10 units per 40,000 square feet and a maximum density of 16 units per 40,000 square feet of land area. Although multi- family development is encouraged in these areas, single-family residences continue to be an allowed use where the parcel and/or contiguous ownership is less than 12,000 square feet in size. 2967, 5 3.2 (Fehfidftfy 19, ; > 1999+.

A minimum density has been specified for this designation in order to discourage use of this land for subordinate,lower density, single-family development. , 1. Mixed LIse L)es,yrtations This designation provides for a compatible mix of single-family, multi-family housing and neighborhood commercial businesses and services,with an emphasis on promoting multi-story structures with commercial uses on the ground floor and multi-family housing on upper floors. This designation will promote development of a mix of uses over time,like those found in the Downtown and Uptown Districts of the City today. Specific requirements for the mix of uses and residential densities shave been established in the revised zoning code. C-I/MU -Neighborhood Serving Mixed Use Center: This designation provides for a compatible mix of small scale commercial uses and medium density multi-family housing in multi- story buildings. Under this designation, commercial uses are located mainly on the ground floor of multi-story structures,with residential units above. Over time this designation should promote neighborhood identity,by providing a range of commercial retail and service opportunities within walking distance,reducing reliance upon the automobile. This designation has been applied to three locations in the City: the southwest cofrner of the intersection of 49th Street and Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; and the San Juan and F Street intersection. C-II/MU - Caffiffittnivy Serving General Commercial Mixed Use Center: While very similar to the neighborhood mixed use designation described above, this designation accommodates a broader range of commercial uses and higher residential densities than the C-I/MU designation described above. Thise designation accommodates a wide range of commercial uses_-v-T41" 4 s dist 4ef eftfef as well as residential densities that approach those found in the R-IV designation. The C-11/W designation has been applied to 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 Kearny Street from je€€evsott Franklin to Garfield Street). Like the C-I/MU designation, the C-II/MU district is intended to promote more focused and transit or pedestrian oriented development patterns. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 55 of 510 (7oininercial L)esi,ynations C-I -Neighborhood Commercial: This designation is exclusively a neighborhood commercial district,providing convenience shopping for a limited residential area (i.e.,within a one-half mile radius). Distinguished from the C-I/MU designation described above, only residential uses that are subordinate and accessory to the primary commercial use are permitted within this district. The designation allows for the retailing of neighborhood commodities and the provision of neighborhood professional and personal services. Specific permitted and conditional uses should be defined in the zoning code. The C-I designation has been applied to t-ffo loeftfions in +e the southwest comer of the intersection of Kearney and 19th Streets, . C-II - General Commercial: This designation has been applied to commercial areas outside neighborhood and mixed use areas. This designation accommodates a wide range of general commercial uses_ . Uses located within this designation include retail businesses,professional offices,hotels,restaurants, and personal services shops. Upper-story residential units are permitted outright. This designation has been applied to more areas of the City than any other commercial designation, and occurs in various locations along Sims Way and Water Street, and in the triangular area bounded by S.R. 20 to the south,Howard Street to the east, and Discovery Road to the northwest. , C-II(H) - Hospital Commercial: This designation accommodates medical clinics, offices, pharmacies,nursing homes, and other medical related uses in areas close to major medical facilities. This designation has been applied to areas near Jefferson General Hospital between Sims Way and 11th Street, and to the Kah Tai Care Center on the west side of Kearney Street. Accessory or supporting uses, a florist's shop for example, are also allowed. Specific permitted and conditional uses have been should he detailed in Bothe zoning code. C-III - Historic Commercial: This designation is intended to accommodate the mix of uses that have occurred over time in the City's Downtown and Uptown historic districts. The designation makes provision for general retail uses on the ground floor of structures, and promotes a mix of uses on the upper floors of historic buildings,including: residences, artist and craft studios, and professional offices. Uses within the Commercial Historic District that also lie within the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program (i.e.,within 200 feet of the shoreline) are subject to the policies and standards of both documents. The Shoreline Master Program is incorporated into this Plan by reference. , 17-Regi-pnnl/'nvnvnnrninl•[Deleted 11), Or-d, 7975I .0 2 2I /I/nuGi3, 6, /1/17211 L-1Ile -9 Marine-Related and Manufac ti.ir°ing L)esiyrlatioras M/C - Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial: This district accommodates small scale manufacturing businesses along with associated and subordinate on-site retailing. The purpose of this designation is to provide for manufacturing and commercial enterprises_- that do not fit neatly under either the light manufacturing or commercial label , Alffi.!efi la "'offiides Rdei sgw Woods, � Manufacturing to commercial floor area ratios are necessary within€ef this designation to ensure that certain uses do not dominate at the expense of Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 56 of 510 others. The M/C designation has been applied to areas south of Sims Way, and west of Thomas Street. , M-I - Light Manufacturing: The M-I designation provides for light manufacturing,processing, fabrication and assembly of products and materials,warehousing and storage, and transportation facilities. The designation is appropriate for light manufacturing uses similar to those allowed within pfoposed€er the Port Townsend Business Park. No areas of town are currently proposed to receive this designation. , M-IIA (Boat Haven) - Marine-Related Uses: This designation accommodates a variety of uses including marina,recreational boating, manufacturing, assembly,haul out and repair. The M-IIA designation has been applied primarily to Port owned lands at the Boat Haven. Zoning provisions should Uses shet4d he fttffhef dehiieftfed 41 fhe eede 41 efdef fe distinguish between the larger scale marine-related uses at the Boat Haven and smaller scale marine-related uses allowed at Point Hudson. Uses within this district that also lie within the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program (i.e.,within 200 feet of the shoreline) are sub)ect to the policies and standards of both the zoning code and the Master Program. M-IIB (Point Hudson) - Marine-Related Manufacturing: Similar to the M-IIA district, this designation accommodates a variety of marine-related uses at a scale appropriate to Point Hudson. Like the M-IIA designation, the zoning code should continue to detail a specific range, scale and intensity of marine-related uses allowed within this district_ shouldhe defffi ea---ifhii v„t_:s feiis fe fhe r. Adaptive reuse of the original Point Hudson Station buildings should be encouraged. Uses within this district that also he within the Jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program (i.e., within 200 feet of the shoreline) are sub)ect to the policies and standards of both the zoning code and the Master Program. , M-III - Heavy Manufacturing: The M-III designation accommodates heavy industrial activities including processing, fabrication, assembling of products or materials, and bulk storage. This designation has not been applied to any areas within the current City limits. An example includes the Glen Cove LAMIRD. , 2003+. Park and Open .5i:iac°e Des,riraations P/OS - Existing Park& Open Space: This category includes existing City-,County-, and State- owned parks,recreation areas, and City-owned lands_-that provide valuable natural and open space functions. , P/OS(A) - Potential Park and Open Space (overlay): This category includes areas that may have the potential to be included within a comprehensive and interconnected system of open spaces and trails. The P/OS(A) overlay appears in areas that could be valuable if maintained as open spaces, such as wooded areas, drainage corridors, and scenic vistas. These areas could accommodate multiple functions including: lower density residential development; stormwater management.; wildlife habitat; and passive recreation. Three primary approaches are being considered in the development of this network: outright purchase of key properties;incentives for landowners to cluster new development in areas outside, or on the margins, of open space areas; and reductions in allowable density. ,2012+. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 57 of 510 P/OS(B) - Mixed Public/Infrastructure/Open Space: This designation is applied to lands used to provide public utilities,facilities and services__that also provide valuable natural and open space functions. Uses include stormwater detention facilities and wastewater treatment facilities. Alternative parcel-specific zoning- In certain circumstances, specifically identified City-owned parcels currently under P/OS(B) designation may receive an alternative, nonpublic zoning designation. This alternative designation shall be inactive and secondary and shall not become applicable until such time as the City ownership of the parcel is terminated and/or the City determines that the anticipated land use no longer is applicable to the public purpose of the public zoning designation. , Other L)esi,ynations P-I - Public/Infrastructure: The purpose of this designation is to identify lands used to provide public utilities, facilities, and services. Allowable uses include schools,libraries,public utilities, and government buildings. Alternative parcel-specific zoning- In certain circumstances, specifically identified City-owned parcels currently under P-I designation may receive an alternative, nonpublic zoning designation. This alternative designation shall be inactive and secondary and shall not become applicable until such time as the City ownership of the parcel is terminated and/or the City determines that the anticipated land use no longer is applicable to the public purpose of the public zoning designation.- Planned Unit L)evelcpineral:(PLIL)) L)esirinations Higher densities and more creative site design and development may be allowed through a Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval. PUDs are special overlay designations_- that are not shown on the land use map because approval is discretionary,based upon a showing that more flexible "performance standards" are satisfied. The permitted density should take into account the site's natural constraints, the character and density of surrounding areas, and proximity to arterials, transit service, employment and shopping areas, and planned amenities. R-PUD - Residential: This designation provides for a compatible mix of single and multi-family housing and a neighborhood center. The designation can be applied only within areas zoned for residential use (i.e.,R-I,R-II, R-III and R-IV). The R-PUD designation promotes clustering and the development of innovative self-sustaining residential communities offering a wide variety of compatible housing types and densities,neighborhood businesses,recreational uses, open space, trails and other amenities that are seldom achieved through traditional zoning approvals. Specific requirements for the siting and relationship of the various land uses, dwelling types, and densities in these developments should continue to be detailed he es f fthlishea in the zoning ordinance, consistent with the applicable policies of this Plan. The zoning ordinance should provide sufficient flexibility to allow the dwelling types and densities to vary in response to market conditions,while maintaining the integrity of the pro)ect. The actual mix and arrangement of uses should be established through a binding site plan. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 58 of 510 MU-PUD - Mixed Use: Like the mixed use designations described above, this category provides for a compatible mix of commercial and multi-family residential uses. This overlay designation applies only in areas zoned for mixed use development (i.e., C-I/MU and C-II/MU), and allows mixed use developments to be treated differently and more flexibly than allowed under ordinary zoning standards. Standards for mixed use PUDs should allow variety in terms of the composition of the mixed use centers, depending upon location, access, character of surrounding neighborhoods, local desires, and market opportunities. Like the residential PUD designation,residential densities should be determined on a case-by-case basis, factoring considerations which include: proximity to arterials; availability of transit service; and proximity to planned amenities (e.g.,park and recreation facilities). CM-PUD - Commercial/Manufacturing: This overlay designation applies only in areas zoned for commercial or manufacturing development (i.e., C-I, C-II, C-III,M/C,M-I,M-IIA,M-IIB and M- III). The designation allows business and industrial park developments to vary from the prescriptive standards of the zoning code. The designation is intended to promote innovative and well designed commercial and light manufacturing developments which are supportive of the City's economic development strategy. Standards for this type of PUD should allow variety in terms of the mixture of commercial and manufacturing uses„ fhftii fef eifhef fhe R PUP of AFL; PUP desigiiftfieiis 10 ftefes). [Ofd.

Port Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA) Note:In conformance with the GNIA (RCW 36.70A.130(3)) and the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County, the County and City will review, at least once every ten (10) years,its designated UGA. In con)unction with Jefferson County's review of its UGAs (i.e.,both incorporated and unincorporated), the City will review the densities permitted within the Port Townsend UGA, the densities permitted within its boundaries, and the extent to which the urban growth occurring within the County has located within the City and its UGA. If necessary, the plans of the County and City will be revised to accommodate the urban growth pro)ected to occur for the succeeding twenty-year period. The recently revised and updated Joint Population Forecast and Allocation predicts that the eCity's population will reach 12,1651;,;-29 by the year 20364, 1,711 154--�less than was pro)ected under the original 1996 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan for the year 2016 (i.e., 13,876). Accordingly,no expansion of the City's UGA is needed to accommodate the urban growth allocated to Port Townsend through the year 20364. At the time of this writing the city limits of Port Townsend constitute the eCity's UGA boundary, and the eCity does not support extending the UGA to encompass unincorporated lands ad)acent to Port Townsend nor does it support a stand-- alone Glen Cove UGA.

It represents the community's housing policy plan for the next 20 years. The purpose of this hHousing eElement is to create a frameworkpfesew soltt to address existing problems and provide direction for a long term housing strategy.The Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter 3 of this Plan declares: "A wide choice of housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles and incomes. Residential development is centered in distinct neighborhoods that are safe, secure, and have identities and characters of their own. Opportunities for socializing recreation,quiet and solitude are all close at hand, as are facilities and events that enrich the body, mind and spirit." This element is closely linked to other elements in the Comprehensive Plan. For example. the Land Use Element defines the intent and location of residential land use designations and densities within the Citv. Housing affordability is tied to the availability of infrastructure (Capital Facilities & Utilities Element) and to family wage jobs conomic Element). Access to goods and services is especially critical for families with limited incomes and mobilit3(Transportation Element). A full understanding of Port Townsend's housing12olicies and plans should include coordination and consistency with these other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Brief discussions of housing inventory and needs are provided in this element, but the full anal, sib the 2015 Inventory and Needs Assessment found in Appendix 3 should be consulted for information required by the GNLA,. The discussion of housing characteristics provides necessary baseline data. This information, along with the demographic characteristics of the community including age,income (see Chapter 2. Introduction)and household type adds to the understanding of the population's housing needs. PLANNING CONTEXT This Housing Element has been prepared in conformance with the following state,regional,and local plans,policies and guidelines: Growth Management Act Requirements Among the 13 planning goals contained within the GNIA, one pertains specifically to the hHousing eElement: "Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 92 of 510 population of this state,promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock:_" (RCW 36.70A.020(4)). The GNIA requires that the hHousing eElement recognize the vitality of established residential neighborhoods and identifies four features that must be included within the hHousing eElement: • An inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs; • A statement of the goals,policies and objectives for the preservation,improvement and development of housing; • Identification of sufficient land for housing,including,but not limited to, government-assisted housing, housing for low income families,manufactured housing, multi-family housing, and group homes, and foster care facilities; and • Adequate provisions for existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. (RCW 36.70A.070(2)). Other sections of the GNIA recommend the use of innovative planning techniques that are directly related to housing,including: density bonuses, cluster housing, planned unit developments (PVDs), and the transfer of development rights (RCW 36.70A.090).These and other nontraditional techniques are reflected in the goals,policies and implementation strategies of this element. ffte e be ff__. 0 0 0 ., > 1 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 93 of 510 eiieettfftgea' m • County-wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County (CWPP) specifically Policy #6.

Demographic and economic factors affecting housing demand include slower than previously anticipated population growth; shrinking household size, continued aging of the population; more single-person households;weak employment not,vet recovered to pre-recession levels, and high dependence of residents on non-wage sources of income. One of the most pressing and complex challenges facing the City is to address appropriate housing needs for all economic segments of the community. A lack of available and affordable housing makes it difficult for 3�oung families.working12eople,and people of limited means to find acceptable housing in our communi , as prices of homes and rentals escalate. Employers are losing staff to more affordable communities and finding it difficult to recruit new hires due to the high cost of housing. Artists,boat builders, firefighters, musicians, educators, seniors, single parents, and the corner barista are among the people who are struggling to find affordable places to live. These are the very people who make our community vibrant and diverse. Housing challenges include: Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 95 of 510 —A lack of affordable housing available to households with incomes below 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). 1. 2. A shortage of higher density and affordable rentals with demand exceeding supply for both market rate and affordable units. A rising demand for seasonal homes and short-term accommodations results in fewer homes available for permanent residents. 3. 4. A lack of local,family wage jobs. Currently,jobs are disproportionately skewed toward lower wage service-sector occupations. 5. Government-assisted units at risk of turning market rate as existing contracts expire (e.V,USDA/HUD contracts 6. {Existing housing stock is at risk of falling into disrepair as homeowners with limited incomes struggle to maintain their homes. 7. Increased demand for emergency, transitional and permanent housing units to serve the Ci )'s special needs populations: and 8. New construction that is inconsistent with projected demand in terms of number, price and tyke. New housing development patterns and housing types present an opportunity to encourage a housing mix that more effectively serves the full range of housing needs. The goals,policies, and implementation strategy of this element seek to address the housing challengesis identified by these key findings, and guide future housing development in Port Townsend. , HOUSING GOALS & POLICIES Housing Supply Port Townsend has nearly double the residentially zoned land needed to accommodate the projected 2036 population of 12,165 residents.However,the inventory of vacant land does not appear to include adeduate sites with readily available infrastructure (water,sewer,roads) to meet the projected needs for single family and higher density housing. Over the long term,it is anticipated that the rate of housing construction will need to pick up in order to meet projected population growth due to the continued decline of average household size and the increase in seasonal units as a proportion of the total housing inventor,L Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 96 of 510 As of 2015, Port Townsend has over 5,300 housing units. Though the City does not construct, own or manage housing, the City does work in partnership with housing12roviders and service providers. An estimated 693 units (approximately 13% of the totall target low and moderate income households with some form of financial assistance. Rentals are reported at near 100% occupancy. Anticipating_ demand i.e.,12opulation forecasts)is not an exact science and ma3�be significantlLpacted by various factors e.g.. climate change and economic boom/bust). Trends will need to be monitored periodicallL Goal 1: Tle--pProvide an adequate supply of housing for residents of all income groups,including sufficient housing affordable to low and moderate income groups. Policy 1.1: _—Provide sufficient, suitably-zoned vacant land for development of all housing types to accommodate the future needs for each type of housing,including single-family, multi-family and manufactured homes. Policy 1.2: _ Ftdeq_Ftfe,.._pp!__of lftttfev i..�ey detts4y vesidettfia4 ttse.Encourage the integration of multi-family housing developments in locations that aree compatible with existing neighborhoods. Policy 1.3: _Rezone areas near public facilities and services,commercial services,arterials and jobs for higher density residential use. Housing Affordability An estimated 52% of Port Townsend renters and 39% of homeowners are housing cost-burdened (i.e.,12a)Ling more than 30 percent of their income for housing)a virtual doubling of the proportion of cost-burdened households since 1990. Port Townsend household incomes have lagged well behind those of all Washington residents relative to housing values.This affordabili!3r gap has worsened since 2000. From 2000 to 2015, median household incomes dropped substantially relative to median home values for both Port Townsend and Washington state. However, the decline is steeper in Port Townsend (nearly,versus 5% statewide) and,unlike statewide incomes which have regained some lost ground since 2010,Port Townsend incomes have continued to slip. Goal 2: T-"I!romote the provision of affordable housing throughout all geographic and economic segments of the community. Policy 2.1: _Encourage the provision of affordable housing by designating more land area for higher density housing. Policy 2.2: _Evaluate existing land use regulations and identify measures to increase the variety of affordable housing types throughout Port Townsend. Examples of potential eec-e revisions include: smaller single-family lot sizes;more liberal allowance of single-family Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 97 of 510 attached dwellings (i.e., duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes);increase multi-family density,zero lot line development, conversion of larger homes to multi-family units; smaller homes; and micro-units. 2.2.1 --Offer incentives to developers and home builders who provide housing for low and moderate income households, such as: density bonuses;waivers for impact fees and system development charges (SDCs); and priority permit processing procedures. 2.2.2 --In order to provide lower cost housing, consider permitting affordable housing "demonstration projects" in which development standards may be negotiated without sacrificing public health and safety. Policy 2.3: _Work in partnership among various levels of government and with other public and private agencies to address housing needs that transcend jurisdictional boundaries. Consider all available local, County, State, and Federal funding opportunities and private resources in the development of affordable housing and participate in region-wide coordination of affordable housing related plans and programs. Policy 2.4: PeriodicallLpdate an inventory of surplus public lands that may be suitable to nonprofit housing providers for affordable housing. Consider affordable housing needs and opportunities associated with inventoried surplus public lands before disposing of them. Policy 2.5: _Provide utility rate assistance to low income populations. Policy 2.6: _Consider,in cooperation with housing partners, alternative organizational structures that may improve our ability to meet affordable housing goals;for example,creation of a housing consortium,public development authority (PDA),or a regional housing trust. Policy 2.7: _Monitor and assess the effectiveness of the goals,policies and implementation steps of this element through the Planning Commission. , 1. Housing Condition Age of a house is a factor in the duality of housing and how much housing costs to maintain. Under normal circumstances, a new residential unit can be expected to have an effective useful life of 40-50 ,years before it becomes functionally obsolete. The useful lifespan can be expanded indefinitely continued maintenance and reinvestment. In Port Townsend, approximately 26% of the existing_ housing stock was built before 1960,making it over fiftyyears old. Although the City is known for its historic homes, much of the housing stock is more recent with roughly 40%built in 1990 or later. Home values are rising again,back to about 12re-2008 recession levels. The median value of homes has increased from just over$110,000 in 1990 to over$291,000 in 2015.

Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 99 of 510 Housing Types From 2008-2014,the overwhelming majority of new development was comprised of single-famil_ units (more than 200 units or 83% of all new housing). The remaining 17% of added housing stock consisted of 23 accessory dwelling units ADUs) 3 duplex and 16 apartment units. The Housing Needs Inventory identified a shortfall in multi-family housing.

It is not the intent of this plan to promote the development of traditional mobile home parks. Instead, the intent is to recognize manufactured housing as a legitimate housing choice, which should be made available to Port Townsend residents. 4.1.3 --Promote Peffii accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for long-term rentals in all residential zones,providing zoning code requirements are satisfied. Policy 4.2: _Encourage innovation and variety in housing design and site development and support unique and sustainable community housing projects such as: co-housing;planned unit developments (PVDs); "grow" home and cottage home developments; and cluster developments__that offer an alternative to the City's prevailing grid pattern. 4.2.1 --Encourage clustering and small lot PUDs in order to retain open space and promote the construction of affordably priced attached single-family houses. 4.2.2 --Offer density bonuses to builders who provide low-income housing in market rate developments. Link the amount of bonuses to the level of affordability (i.e., the lower the cost or rental rate per unit, the greater the bonus). Grant density bonuses only in instances where all of the following conditions are satisfied: a. The developer agrees to sell or rent the units to qualifying residents (i.e.,low income and very low income households); b. The developer ensures the continued affordability of the units for a minimum of 40 years; and c. The units are of an innovative design and compatible with existing neighborhood character. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 101 of 510 4.2.3 --Develop and implement standards_- that encourage innovative housing design while ensuring compatibility with existing neighborhoods (e.g., standards for zero lot line development; and design standards for multi-family and attached single-family developments).

Low Income & Special Needs Populations Special needs housing12opulations include those who are not able to live independendy in traditional housing as well as those who may not have an income sufficient to obtain housing without assistance. The 2015 Housing Needs Inventory (Appendix 3) inventoried group Quarters,financially assisted housing and emergency/transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. An important function of emergency and transitional housing is to assist in addressing homelessness. Recent trends indicate a decline in the overall number of homeless,but an increase in homeless children and families. As of December 2015, an estimated 693 housing units in Port Townsend target low and moderate income individuals and families with some form of financial assistance (i.e., over 13% of all housing in Port Townsend). Compared with the entire state,it appears that the proportion of housing that is financially assisted in Jefferson Count) maybe above average:however, the proportion of units available and affordable to low income residents is below average.' The Washington State Department of Commerce published a 2095 Housing Needs Assessment. Findings indicate that statewide about 5% of all housing is subsidized,which would appear to be below the Port Townsend ratio.Another method for comparing different geographic areas in the state is presented as a Quantification of affordable and available housing units for every 100 households. Statewide, 51 units are affordable and available for every 100 households earning 50% or less of AMI. In comparison, there are only 32 units for every 100 households at 50% or less of AMI in Jefferson, Clallam and Kitsap Counties, 33 units in Mason Count.and 38 units in Grays Harbor Count,L Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 102 of 510 Goal 5: Te4ldentify locations for and facilitate the development of housing opportunities for low income and special needs populations.

Policy 6.4: _Coordinate with Jefferson County to provide a regional economic development strategy__that integrates "fair share" housing supply policies with economic growth. Phasing of Housing Growth Housing affordability is heavily dependent upon available infrastructure including streets, sewer, and water. The City has adopted an infrastructure tiering strategy to prioritize the provision of capital facilities, services and utilities within three urban growth tiers. Goal 7: 41ep-eEncourage higher density residential development within the City limits with gradual phasing outward from the urban core. Policy 7.1: _Attempt to locate higher density residential designations in areas of the City that have the infrastructure and services to support high density housing.In areas designated for higher density residential development that are not presently served with public facilities and utilities,phase the provision of infrastructure in a manner consistent with poliey-Policv 2.5 of the Capital Facilities 8&-T T Element of this Comprehensive Plan.

Permit Processing/Regulatory Reform Goal 8: Te4Facilitate predictable and timely permit processing. Policy 8.1-2: Revise and consolidate regulations and permitting processes to foster predictability and remove uncertainty for builders and lenders. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 104 of 510 Policy 8.2-3: When revising the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) to implement this Plan,identify and eliminate unnecessarily expensive or difficult development standards (e.g.,review,and consider revisions to residential street, arp king, stormwater, and utility requirements). Policy 8.34: In reviewing and revising the Port Townsend Municipal Code to implement this Plan,balance the need to promote housing affordability with the need to require development-related improvements that adequately protect public health and safety while reducing long-term operations and maintenance costs to the City. Policy 8.4-5-.: Encourage lenders to make financing available for innovative/sustainable housing (e.g., housing in upper stories of historic buildings, co-housing projects, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and "grow" and cottage homes). Policy 8.56: Consider revisions to the development regulations that will promote use of new technologies that help conserve resources and minimize the generation of greenhouse gas emissions: 8.56.1: Encourage the development of distributed generation of electricity through renewable sources. 8.56.2: Encourage energy efficiency in both new and existing houses, and the development of"zero net energy" housing, 8.65.3: Encourage on-site water conservation technology (e.g.,rain barrels low-water use appliances. AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY FOR PORT TOWNSEND Introduction is heir g fhvefff-fea An affordable housing strategy is needed to preserve the character of our community. iii e pasfPrior to the 1996 plan, City government has played a limited role in encouraging the provision of affordable housing. For the most part, affordable housing has been provided by builders Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 105 of 510 and developers seeking to capitalize on local market conditions. The City's past involvement in fostering the availability of affordable housing was confined to zoning very limited areas of town for higher density multi-family development. Like this earlier approach, the original 1996 strategy, detailed below, addressed the supply of multi-family zoned land.Additionally, the City's approach sought to clearly articulate a course of action_- that would provide real incentives for developers and builders to produce the type of housing needed in the community. , The 2006-7 Port Townsend/Jefferson County Housing Action Plan includes forty-two housing strategies. These strategies range from creation of an oversight network to economic development, infrastructure development, and financial incentives. Innovative development projects (Community Land Trust and Tierra Contenta models) and rehabilitation of existing housing stock are key strategies, given that,ultimately, our success will be measured by the actual number of affordable housing units on the ground. , The Strategy— , ft ffietttt of sreeiffe ffefiott ifeffis lifts beett idettfified; The City should undertake the following actions to implement the Housing Element goals and policies: 1. Keep housing in the conversation • Actively involve our partners and our community in a dialog on housing issues. Build understanding and support for affordable housing in the communit3�b3 publicizing successful housing projects and programs. 2. Periodically audit and adjust the zoning code, design standards, and fee schedules to accommodate a variety of housing types,with a focus on affordable, special needs, and sustainable housing while ensuring compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Examples of code refinements to consider include: Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 106 of 510 • Allowance for ADU owners to rent the ADU and main residence - • Common-wall construction • Reduced and more flexible parking reduirements • More flexibility in housing types permitted (as for smaller homes, micro-apartments and zero-lot line development) • Increase in the maximum number of units allowed in a multi-family structure to more than the 24-unit current maximum (after review with potential owner/development interests • Re-evaluation of other development standards that could be modified to reduce development costs,while maintainingpublic health and safet�(as with road standards Addressing means by which the City might cost-effecfively reduce the expense of meeting infrastructure funding reduirements from residential bunters as might occur, ov , (e.g.,with community stormwater management s,, s�)- 3. Provide sufficient land supply with adeduate infrastructure for affordable housing development. • Take steps to re-designate land as needed for higher density including affordable housing prioritizing sites currenfly or readily served by infrastructure,in areas that are walkable and accessible to transit. • Prioritize infrastructure investments in areas ripe for economic development and high density residential development. • Prepare subarea plans in high priori , areas. Commit to improving financial support with a focus on sustainable funding mechanisms and organizational structures. 4. • Idenfi , specific housing needs, such as preventing displacement of mobile homes or housing the local service industry workforce (e.g.,artists,retail,marine trades. • Invite local experts in the housing industry and social services (e.g.,Community Action Council,Housing Authority to help set priorities,recommend actions and obtain grant funds. • Idenfify potenfial opportunities and resources, such as surplus public property Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 107 of 510 Emphasize coordination with the Count)L Count) and opportunities for public/private partnerships. Pursue the potential to create and fund a community housing land trust–either for Port Townsend or for a wider geographic area involving muldple jurisdictions. Engage lenders and developers to assess and cultivate participation in identifLg realistic options to secure mortgage and related investment in the full range of resident housing finance needs. • Funding mechanisms also could include identification of sources that allocate public costs more equitably between residents and non-residents and mitigate housing pricing availability and affordability for local residents. 5. Promote incentives for low and moderate income housing development • Offer density bonuses for units guaranteed to remain affordable. • Offer impact fee exemptions to reduce costs for units guaranteed to remain affordable (Strategy#6). • Consider reduced parking requirements for housing restricted to low income seniors and special needs residents (Strategy#2, • Consider expedited permit processing for publicly funded low income housing(Strategy_ —Maintain reasonable land use Viand utility fees. 6. Evaluate the cumulative impact of fees and off-site mitigations in relation to the final price of the housing. Recommend reducing or exempting fees for low income housing guaranteed to remain affordable for the long term. 7. Facilitate predictable and timel312ermit processing. Improvements should include consolidated applications, administrative decision-making authority, automated permit tracking and timelines for permit review. 8. Encourage the development of affordable housing"demonstration projects"in which flexible, innovative development standards may be used without sacrificing12ublic health and safetL Look for ways to revise permit requirements to reduce development costs without compromising environmental quality or adequate public review. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 108 of 510 Assess the need to conduct a residential buildable lands inventory (BLI .__ —While GMA does not reduire Port Townsend to update its residential BLI at this time, a local update ma312rovide valuable data to inform next steps. Although there appears to be more than enough vacant residentially zoned land to accommodate forecast population and housing growth over the next 20 years,it is likely that there is not enough immediately buildable (or shovel-ready) land served with infrastructure. 9. Lack of shovel-ready sites is particulari312roblematic for higher densi , single- and multi-family development at locations proximate to multi-modal transportation and close to the urban core. Matching the capacity of the truly buildable land suppl�pecific categories of owner and rental demand by income/price level is pivotal to determine whether,where,and how much land should be designated for higher density and more affordable housing. Actively encourage public-private partnerships for affordable housing. —Actively seek diverse private sector participation together with public and non-profit partners in reviewing and modif�Ling zoning and associated regulatory standards to better facilitate affordable housing development (see Strategy#2). - Identify existing properties providing affordable, financially assisted housing that are at risk of transitioning to market rate rentals and j2otentially disl2lacing existing residents. - Actively support initiatives to improve local resident employment and wage opportunities. 10. Consider more explicit linkages of seasonal to affordable permanent housing and/or limitations on transient accommodations. —Prioritize initiatives for low income, homeless and special needs populations. —This would include,for examl2le,l2roviding step-b,r� steI2 imi2lementation of the 10-3 ear 121an for ending homelessness in Jefferson County–including the plan's housing first approach. There is continuing opportunity to work with the range of providers and supportive organizations currentlyplace. 11. Due to the ongoing challenge of obtaining adeduate funding options for securing added sustainable funding sources or new innovative partnerships should be considered as opportunities are presented.Priorit, or allocated funding should be considered for portions of the population that remain most under-housed. —Encourage development of ADUs as affordable rentals. 12. A first step would be to further assess reasons as to why less than half of existing ADUs are being rented, and determine incentives that might be considered to increase rental use. A second step would be to apply what is learned about existing ADUs to encourage additional new ADU construction as ,year-round rentals prioritized over transient use. Financial and/or Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 109 of 510 regulatory incentives might be considered together with marketing for owners to better understand project costs and long-term benefits of added rental income potential. —Appl-y Adaptive Management- Monitor outcomes,update housing needs and strategies accordingly. 13. Demographic and economic conditions will continue to change, Quite possibly in directions currently unanticipated. Conseduently it will be worthwhile to monitor changes in local population growth and housing demand more actively in the ,years ahead. If the new 2015 forecasts prove to be substantially over or under target over a multi-3 ear period,forecast revision is suggested before completion of the 2016-36 planning cycle. 1.

This guidance builds ul2on the Civ s recognition as an attractive residential communit)L, emi2l0vment hub, and visitor destination. There is a wide range of transl2ortation needs. Many existing streets were built in 12revious decades, often with an inadeduate base, and reduire maintenance and uj2grade. Current revenue sources are inadeduate to kee12 u12 with the needs for maintenance and new facilities. Concerns about transl2ortation have also exi2anded to include neighborhood imi2acts and accommodation for all users. There is also a strong impetus to reduce the environmental impacts of transportation, to create "comi2lete" streets, to reduce reliance on the single-occul2ant vehicle and to address resiliency and sustainability of the transl2ortation s, stem. The overall vision for Port Townsend's Transi2ortation Element is to 12rovide a safe,integrated, and efficient multi-modal transportation system that is consistent with the City's overall vision and that adeduately serves anticil2ated growth. The Transportation Element sets a framework for understanding prioritizing measuring, and creating a transi2ortation network to help Port Townsend achieve its vision. The transi2ortation 12olicies and guidance in this element are the foundation for development standards and regulations that implement the Comprehensive Plan.including • Port Townsend Municipal Code • Engineering Design Standards • Transportation Functional Plan • Non-motorized Transi2ortation Plan • Six Year Transl2ortation Improvement Program Regional Transi2ortation Collaboration and Planning • The goals,policies, and implementation steps outlined in this element will result in a comprehensive transl2ortation system that will adeduately serve anticil2ated growth;will 12rovide for future mobility for all user groul2s and modes of travel in and through Port Townsend; and will be adaptable to a changing environment. > > Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 114 of 510 ILE J Planning Context This Transl2ortation Element takes its guidance from state,regional, and local 121ans,12olicies and guidelines,including: • The Growth Management Act which directs cities to establish a direct link between transl2ortadon and land use Manning • The Washington Transportation Plan.which establishes and recommends statewide transl2ortadon policies and strategies • The Peninsula Regional Planning Transl2ortation Organization (PRPTO) Regional Transl2ortation Plan which adol2ts goals and 12olicies for the four county members (KitsaI2, Mason,Clallam,Jefferson) County-wide Planning Polic3�for Jefferson County which-requires county-wide coordination on transl2ortadon issues,for examl2le,transit and airport facilities. The j2olic3�also 12rovides guidance for preparing this Transportation Element,including level of service standards. concurrency, and transportation demand management ('IDU strategies • The Growth Management Act-contains the following specific requirements and overall goals to guide in establishing the link between land use and transportation: GMA Goa12— Transportation.

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES The Citv of Port Townsend faces- several challenges as it dans for the next 20 ,years of growth. Develol2ing the a1212roj2riate transl2ortation network to serve the growing needs of residents and visitors becomes a balance between durability, affordability,livability,walkabilit3�, and safe!3while preserving the city's small town character. The transl2ortation system must also be resilient and respond to climate changes and potential rising sea levels, to evolving technology, and to changing Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 117 of 510 demographics and lifestyles. Funding for street maintenance to address the preservation and upgrade of the existing streets is also a critical need for the city. Street Network The City seeks to ensure that all new transl2ortation infrastructure provides for the mobili , of all users with streets that are safe, narrow enough to protect our small town character and appropriate for the adjacent land uses, and within available funding constraints. For local access residential streets the city has adopted "narrow" street standards that reflect the comprehensive plan goals and policies for new neighborhood streets. The development,update, and implementation of the City's street design standards provides the opportunity to develop safe, walkable streets that create and preserve neighborhood character, accommodate different modes of transportation,while providing adeduate parking and encouraging transit use. Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Over the last twent)Vears the Cit,v of Port Townsend has added many miles of sidewalks and bike lanes to existing streets. The ci ,'s design standards reduire new development to install sidewalks along all their frontage of arterials, collectors and streets in commercial districts. However, many gaps remain on existing arterials and collector streets. These gaps limit the mobility of pedestrian and bicyclist between key destinations within the City and regionally. Along with filling in the gaps. additional enhanced crossings for pedestrians are needed, j2articularl3�along-State Route 20,where traffic volumes are heavy and there are limited protected pedestrian crossing locations. The City's extensive trail network enhances connectivi , throughout the city. The City can continue to promote, expand, and preserve the trail system b)preserving unopened rights-of-waw reviewing development projects to ensure there are pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to and through a project and by supporting volunteer efforts to expand and enhance the network. Transit Access and Availability There are continued opportunities for the city to work with Jefferson Transit (ITA) to enhance service to key destinations (such as Fort Worden State Park) and establish better transit and pedestrian and bicycle connectivit,v. Since-ITA is a rural service provider for the entire count, they currenfly have limited bus routes and route freduency within Port Townsend. Improved service freduency and coverage in Port Townsend would be desirable as a way to reduce auto travel and improve the duaht,y of service for transit-dependents. The Cit,v can look for opportunities to work with Jefferson Transit to encourage enhanced transit service from-Jefferson Transit through investment in transit supportive amenities, as well as other ways to help residents, employees and visitors access and use transit. Network Connectivity A gr idded street pattern provides a logical and desirable street network. New streets are installed in the City of Port Townsend through development of single family homes on existing12latted lots and through-subdivisions and planned unit developments. Street design standards are intended to provide streets that are safe, affordable to construct,long lasting and durable, and are Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 118 of 510 accommodating to all users;in other words to assure that"complete streets" fundamentals are implemented. Parking The City of Port Townsend is a regional as well as a national destination,which puts a strain on the parking throughout the Downtown and surrounding Uptown residential areas. Most of the buildings downtown do not have private parking areas for employees or visitors and there are very few public parking areas. On-street parking makes up a large percentage of the parking supt2l-3�. Downtown parking is at a premium during certain times. To accommodate the increased pressure for parking Downtown the City must look for ways to increase access through other means such as the Haines Place Transit Center Park and Ride, transit service, and alternate modes of transportation. Maintenance of Existing Roads Facilities built in preceding decades are reaching the end of their design life and require maintenance and upgyrade. Many existing streets were constructed with an inadequate foundation and are failing_ Even those new streets that have been recently constructed require regular maintenance to protect the City's investment. As stewards of the transportation infrastructure the City must maintain these valuable assets. There is a large need to identifya dedicated revenue source to provide for the maintenance and preservation of the many miles of roadways in the City: from arterials to local neighborhood streets. Regional Growth and Connectivity The City is connected to the regional transportation system through State Highway 20, the ferry system, the transit s,, stem, private transportation companies and the Olympic Discovery Trad system. Due to our geographical location,the City relies on the regional transportation network and must work with other agencies in an integrated approach that brings in many methods of moving people and goods.

Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 128 of 510 Land Use & Transportation The GMA recognizes the close linkage between land use and transportation. It is important that transportation facilities be designed not only to meet federal, state and local standards,but also to meet community vision and desires. For man312eople, the duality of life of the Ci!3is dependent on how well the transportation system functions for pedestrians,bic,cam.transit riders and motorists. To implement Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan, streets must not only move people and goods,but must be compatible with and support the Ci ,f s preferred land use pattern,enhance the Quality of life of residents, and:ptfttn� . support health,les.

This sysfeffi does iio P ,1 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 130 of 510 Arterial and Collector Street System Inventory The street system in Port Townsend is classified according to the roadwaypurpose, design characteristics and function. The functional classification guides the programming of roadway improvements. Within the City of Port Townsend, the roadway classifications include principal and minor arterials, collectors and local streets and are further defined in the Transi2ortation Functional Plan. Generally,local access streets include all public streets not classified as arterials or collectors. Figure 6-1 shows the City's roadway functional classifications. Table 6-1 provides an inventory of the roadways within the City of Port Townsend by classification and surface tie. Table 6-1 Roadway Inventory IMINI =� WIMINNIM Principal Arterial 3.21 - - - 3.21 3.46% Minor Arterial 3.14 7.01 - - 10.14 10.92% Collector 2.53 12.70 - 0.19 15.42 16.60% Local Access 18.35 36.54 0.07 9.14 64.12 69.02% Total Miles 27.23 56.25 0.07 9.34 92.89 100.0% The principal arterial within the C 13v limits is State Route 20 (SR20),which extends from the Ferry Terminal and continues 2.7 miles west to the City Limits. State route 20 provides a regional connection from the Olympic Peninsula and the I-5 Corridor via the Port Townsend—Coupeville ferry. It is designated by the State as a Highway of Statewide Significance. Highways of Statewide Significance are facilities that have been speciall-3�designated by the State of Washington to ensure linkages between major communities within the State and to assist with priorityplanning and the allocation of funding. There are five signalized intersections (four along SR 20 and one at the Water Street/Taylor Street intersection) in the City. The Ci , is responsible for and maintains the traffic signal at Water and Taylor Streets. WSDOT is responsible for maintenance and operations on all other traffic signals on SR 20. Goals and Policies The arterial street system is the backbone for the movement of goods and people of all abilities around town. Itis often a challenge for ani single roadway to meet the expectations of all users and Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 131 of 510 modes of travel at any given time. The following�olicies and priorities address issues related to the street network as a s, sem,the design of individual roadwaL,traffic flow and providing for the various modes of travel and users of the system.

NORmeteFized T-FaR6pE)FtatiGR —Pedestrian & Bicycle Transportation Sy terms —er --- \A alkonq and BiGYGIinry Inventory Sidewalks A1212roxirnatel_3 21 percent of Port Townsend's streets have sidewalks on at least one side of the street. There are 31 total miles of sidewalks. Sidewalks are generally available along arterials, streets within the historic business district, and in newer subdivisions. Despite the fairly good sidewalk Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 137 of 510 coverage in some areas of the City, many arterials and collectors remain without adequate sidewalks and many older residential areas have incomplete sidewalk networks. Bicycle Facilities In contrast to a historical and relatively extensive sidewalk network, the Ci ,'s bicycle facilities are relatively new. Along with the recent growth of the network,the City has received designation as a Bicycle-Friendly City at the Bronze level. There are approximately 8 miles of streets with striped, designated bicycle lanes in Port Townsend. To support biking there are a1212roximatel-) 5012ublic bicycle racks,j2redominately located in the downtown historic district. Figure 6.3 shows the streets which have bicycle lanes and also shows multi-use paths within the City of Port Townsend. Trails In addition to sidewalks and bicycle lanes,there is an extensive trail network that provides important connections throughout the Cit,v. There are approximately 34 miles of trails in Port Townsend. 1.4 miles of these trails are multi-use paths which are at least eight feet wide and have an ADA accessible surface. Figure 6.2 includes the trail network. The Larry Scott Memorial Trail is a major regional trail, of which 0.6 miles is located within the City. The trail begins at the Port of Port Townsend boat,yard and continues 7.3 miles to the south, terminating at Milo Curry Road in the Count,v. The Larry Scott Memorial Trail is the eastern-most section of the OlLpic Discovery Trail,which,upon completion,will constitute 130 miles of multi- use trail from Port Townsend to the Pacific Ocean. Goals and Policies Creating a pedestrian and bicycle friendly cit) requires a connected network of sidewalks,walkable streets,multi-use pathways and bike routes supported by the City's broad network of trails and public parks. The goals and policies of this Plan make it clear that building a nonmotorized s, stem is a high priority. The City has adopted a Non-Motorized Transportation Plan that seeks to create an integrated network of pedestrian and bicycle improvements that provide incentives to walk or bike across town. The Plan identifies areas where sidewalks and bikeways need to be completed. The Plan also identifies where rights-of-way not open to vehicular travel and the trail s, s�provide integral components of the walking and biking network. Ultimately, this network links up with other modes of transportation including transit and ferry service. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 138 of 510 Walking and bic3 cling12rovide many individual and community benefits from health and safe!3and mobilit3�to quality of life. People who cannot or prefer not to drive need safe and efficient transportation choices.

Transit �� Services I nve nto ry: Jefferson Transit Authority Public bus service is provided within the Ceit,L3Jefferson Transit Authority, a public transportation agency established in 1980. Jefferson Transit's service area covers 259 square miles and provides a variet,y of public transportation services that include fixed-route,route deviated, vanpool and ride-matching,with both regional and intercity bus connections. In 2014, eight fixed- routes including deviated fixed-routes) operated Monday through Friday from approximately a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; all routes operated on Saturdays on a slightly reduced schedule.- ADA paratransit service Dial-A-Ride, is provided in full compliance with federal ADA paratransit regulations. Tefferson Transit connects passengers to major hubs including Kitsap Transit in Poulsbo, Clallam Transit in Sequim, and Mason Transit in Brinnon. Figure 6-5 shows the current transit routes and bus stops within the City of Port Townsend. The goals and policies of this element strive to promote the use of public transit. Since the City is not a provider of transit,it must work closel-3�with Jefferson Transit to help improve transit service in the community. Those areas of town that grow at a relatively low density, single-family residential development pattern may not justif)r significant increases in transit service. However,new commercial and multi- Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 146 of 510 family residential development, and especiall3public facilities, assisted living facilities,boarding houses, and group homes,warrant increased services and facilities.-. Goal 76: 443-Eencourage ftdopfioii of lftiid ttse regulations, strategies-and programs that promote transit use and link s--etransit to alternative modes. Policy 76.1: Encourage zero foot frontage setbacks for commercial uses on streets with bus facilities to encourage transit use. Locate parking in the rear or to the sides of buildings. Policy 76.2: Require street level pedestrian uses in buildings in commercial, office, or mixed-use centers with bus routes and nearby bus facilities to stimulate activity and interest.

This lot is gravel and does not have marked parking stalls. The lot provides for apnroximatel) 17 parking vehicles. • Skateboard Parking Lot Original Townsite,Block 52,Lots 5 & 7� The Skateboard Parking Lot is owned by the Citv of Port Townsend and is Located in downtown between Washington Street and-Jefferson Street,just east of Monroe Street. This parking lot also encompasses the adjacent Washington Street right of way. This paved narking lot provides 44 parking spaces. • Cotton Building/Elevated Ice-Cream Parking Lot Original Townsite, Block 6, Lot 4 This narking lot is owned by the City of Port Townsend and is located on the Port Townsend Bay side of Water Street between Quincy Street and Madison Street. This raved narking lot provides 12 narking spaces. Goals and Policies Future narking management in Port Townsend requires a variety of alternative narking strategies, and must align with the City's overall transportation s,, s�goals. This Plan encourages narking management control rather than costl312ublic investment in building new parking lots. It also acknowledges that we cannot, and do not wish to,build enough parking lots to accommodate all cars. The parking management strategy seeks a balance in providing adequate space for cars,but also provides incentives for people to use cars less frequently. It encourages the use of a shuttle bus for visitors or employees to the Historic Downtown,�romotes Transportation Demand Management techniques, and explores new ideas to minimize potential environmental and communit,�pacts by constructing smaller parking lots scattered throughout town. For the most part,however, the control of future transportation and parking12roblems must be addressed through strategic planning and proactive management involving the Cit)L.Jefferson Transit. the Washington State Department of Transportation, and business and property owners. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 152 of 510 Parking problems are most apparent in the Downtown. It is unlikely that enough parking can be supplied to meet future demand. While parking requirements for buildings in the Historic District have been eliminated in the Historic District to stimulate redevelopment, there are increasing numbers of housing units in the core and commensurate pressure for parking for residents. The Haines Street Park-and-Ride facility has become an essential part of the Downtown parking management strategy. Jefferson Transit operates a visitor shuttle to and from the Park-and-Ride facility for summer tourist use. Over the long-term, the City should work with-Jefferson Transit, WSDOT State Ferries Division and Main Street to increase the use of the Park-and-Ride facilit,b ferny walk-on passengers, downtown and Port employ. and Downtown residents. The City should continue to review the amended parking code regarding off-street parking requirements for redevelopment and new development in the Commercial Historic District. The Cit,r''ss parking code should allow the use of alternative transportation modes,TDM techniques,and the required use of the Park-and-Ride facility, as options to provide new off-street parking spaces. This could be achieved through the use of maximum and minimum parking spaces or by reduced parking requirements for developments served by alternative modes (e.g., the use of the Park-and- Ride facility,installation of bike racks, etc.). Parking management strategies and parking code requirements should distinguish between areas where nonmotorized improvements are desired (i.e., the Commercial Historic District and future mixed use centers) and areas that are more auto- oriented i.e., community commercial and manufacturing areas Goal 9-7: T-(3--eEncourage 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. Policy 9-7.1: Encourage private developers to address parking demand by participating in the cost of shared parking facilities, agreement with others for the joint use of parking spaces and through the use of bicycles, carpools, transit, and the Park-and-Ride facility. Policy 9;.2: Encourage private and public employers to provide bicycle parking facilities on or near their properties. Policy 9;.3: Develop update and implemented parking requirements that encourage new development and the adaptive reuse of historic structures;limit the construction of new impervious surfaces; and provide for parking needs of residents and employ. 9;.3.1 Review_,—and where appropriate,reduce off-street parking requirements for new commercial development. `e) ffel- e-,:,e ..e(3ft(3T_ Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 153 of 510 -79.3.2 Reduce parking requirements to provide incentives for the revitalization,—adaptive reuse, and preservation of existing historic structures within the Downtown Parking District and commercial zones lying within the National Register Historic District. 9.3.3 Review residential parking needs in the downtown core. 9-7.3.4- Distinguish between areas where nonmotorized transportation should be encouraged as a top priority (i.e., the National Register Historic District), and areas that are likely to be more auto-oriented (i.e., the Gateway Commercial District).

Level of Service (LOS) & Concurrency Management Level of service standards and a transportation concurrenc3program are ke3 reduirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that the transportation network adequately serves the current and projected population and the land use elan. -Transportation projects and programs needed to serve growth must be in place either when growth occurs or within six ,years from the date of the development permit approval. Regulations implementing concurrency and level of service are contained in the PTMC. The City has adopted level of service D as the standard for its roadways and intersections,which is consistent with the LOS standards established in the PRPTO Regional Transportation Plan. The Transportation Functional Plan projects the performance of Port Townsend's arterials and collectors under projected future traffic conditions. The City should also study and consider setting LOS standards for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. In addition,promotion of transportation demand management TDMI strategies could also alleviate the need to build or expand roadwUs, and make the transportation system operate more efficiently and carr,:more vehicles and people. By looking for new ways to define and measure levels of service based on Comprehensive Plan goals, this element seeks to assure the continuation of levels of service that the community can afford,while meeting its vision for the future comprehensive transportation network. Goal T-108: Tle�-sSet-a-n appropriate level of service standards to promote desired land uses, to reduce traffic congestion, to increase the efficiency and safety of the overall transportation system and to expand travel choices.

The goals and policies included in the Utilities Element are designed to promote efficient, cost-effective utility service while meeting community needs and protecting both existing neighborhoods and the natural environment. The City of Port Townsend provides water,wastewater and stormwater utility services to Port Townsend residents, as well as water service to some areas outside the City limits. The Citi contracts with a private company for solid waste and rec3 cling collection. Several public and private utilities operate within Port Townsend providing electricity and telecommunications services (cable television,wired telephone/data services,and internet and cellular services). Planning Context Under the Growth Management Act, planned land use patterns and growth must be supported b adequate levels of utility service. The Utilities Element must therefore ensure that adequate services are available to serve the growth and land uses in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Functional plans for each utilit,Lvstem must also accommodate projected growth in their respective service areas,based on these adopted growth allocations. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Major challenges related to the provision of utility services include the following_ • A changing climate -The City faces the challenge of responding to climate change both in designing facilities for changing sea levels and in adapting to changing weather patterns that impact water supnl)�and quality and the h)�droloa of the City's wetlands and natural drainage waw • A significant backlog of overdue maintenance- Some of the City's utility infrastructure is nearing the end of its useful life. • A pressing need for modernization -With rapidlyging technology and the desire for universal access to the internet and other services,the City faces the challenge of working with providers to extend the latest technologies and services to this community. Planning for growth and fluctuations in demand—Although extending utility service into unserved areas is generally the responsibility of new development, the City must ensure that utilities are adequately sized and the overall system coordinated. Seasonal fluctuations in the C113fs population present a challenge as the City seeks to avoid over-sizing utilities and to balance operating costs. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 170 of 510 Changes in the regulatory environment-As the Cit3�upgrades to comply with new regulations (e.g..water duality, stormwater discharge permitting, etc.) ratepayers could be impacted. • Strong communi , support for sustainabilitypresents an opportuni , to implement innovative solutions. The Cij3L may seek funding mechanisms to assist in utility extensions/upgrades that support Comprehensive Plan goals such as promoting affordable housing and enhancing economic development. UTILITY GOALS & POLICIES Utilities - Generali Utility Policies The availability of utilities is an important factor considered by developers when deciding where and whether to build. Safe and reliable utilit,v service is important, as well, to the people who live and work in Port Townsend. Utilit312olicies and availability must support the land use plan and policies. Consistent with the GNIA,public utilities are generally not extended beyond the city limits. However,the Cij3L does provide water service outside the city limits where previous agreements exist and for the service area identified in the Coordinated Water Supply Plan and the Cit Zs Water A4aj� Plan. Goal 1-}: T-&-eEnsure the provision of utilities to address current needs andlanned growth and development, consistent with the Land Use Plan. Policy 19.1: _Ensure environmentally sensitive, cost effective, safe and reliable utility service that is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Policy 19.2: _Encourage the joint use and provision of utility corridors, facilities and services. Policy 19.3: _Coordinate planning and development review with other jurisdictions when utility additions_-and improvements cross jurisdictional boundaries. Policy 19A _Ensure that above-ground utility installations and facilities ( . ., felfty fffvv;efstowers, antennae, structures) are located and designed in a manner most compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and natural characteristics of the land. Policy 19.5: Where feasible,jInstall new and,whe f„ r ftsib-,relocate existing utility lines underground. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 171 of 510 pfutiftig of „f„f: + Policy 19.6: _Work to ensure reasonable and equitable utility rates and regulations for Port Townsend residents by offering regular testimony before the WUTC when appropriate. Policy 19.7: _Periodically review the scientific research on risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF)-ilf warranted by new information or changes to state or federal regulation, modify policies and regulations. Policy 9.8: _Ensure that public and private utilities minimize the clearing of trees and vegetation in the management of utility corridors and street rights-of-way. Policy 19.9: Develop resilient utilit3� systems where planning and investment decisions account for changing conditions, such as climate change, sea level rise, natural disasters, technological changes and increased renewable energygeneration. Policy 19.10 Encourage the use of innovative technologies to: provide and maintain utility services;improve efficiency of existing services; and to reduce,where possible, the overall demands on utilit3�systems. Gnifil Water Overview " The Port Townsend Water System is a publicly owned water system operated by the Citv of Port Townsend as a self-supporting enterprise utility. Operations and s, s�planning are guided by the current City of Port Townsend Water System Plan and provisions of Chapter 246-290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC. Group A Public Water Supplies. The Citv is the water service provider to an area of approximatelyquare miles,including all properties within the City Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 172 of 510 boundaries and adjacent areas south and west of the City. Figure 1-4 of the 2008 Water System Plan delineates the City's water service area. Water Supply and System Capacity The City of Port Townsend's source water is supplied from the Big Ouilcene and Little Ouilcene Rivers. The river diversions, 28.5 mile transmission pipeline, and Lords Lake (500 million gallons) and Ci Lake 140 million gallons, storage reservoirs are known as the Olympic Gravity Water SVstern OGWS). Water rights permit diversions of 19.4 million gallons per da) (mgd) from the Big Quilcene River and 6.2 mgd from the Little Quilcene River. Minimum instream flows below the diversions are 27 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 6 cfs, respectively. The diversions and sections of pipeline transiting the Olympic National Forest are permitted by the US Forest Service. An intertie at Four Corners can provide an emergency supply of untreated water for the Tri-Area Quimper Water System. The Port Townsend Paper Corporation PTPC) utilizes most of the water supply through an intertie at the southern City boundary. PTPC has leased the OGWS from the City since its construction and has been responsible for its operation and maintenance. The agreement,which expires in 2020, currenfly allocates the City a maximum quantity of 5 mgd,and PTPC is entitled to the remainder of the available water supply. The Cit,operates a 3 mgd membrane water filtration treatment s, sem,which is expandable to 3.6 mgd. Sodium hypochlorite is added for water disinfection. Within the municipal distribution system, there are two storage reservoirs: a 39-foot tall, 5-million gallon concrete reservoir that serves the City's low elevation zone and an 84-foot tall, 1-million gallon steel standpipe that serves the Ci ,t�gh elevation zone. The booster station at the reservoir site supplements high flows that may exceed standpipe storage capacity transferring surplus water from the 5-million gallon reservoir. There are approximately 100 miles of distribution s,, s�pipelines serving 4,746 customer connections as of 2015. A booster pump station at Chestnut and F Streets provides increased water pressure for the Morgan Hill area. Detailed descriptions of the City's water system and planning information are included in the Water System Plan.

Operations and s, s�planning are guided by the City of Port Townsend Wastewater Facilities Plan (2000). The City collects wastewater from a service area of approximately seven square miles. Primary collection of wastewater is achieved through gravity sewer lines, though the City maintains a series of lift stations and force mains to overcome changes in topography. Collected wastewater is discharged to wastewater facilities for treatment. Some portions of the City are not,vet served by municipal sewer. In locations where extension of City sewer is impractical,installation of septic systems is permitted provided they are designed and installed to meet Health Department standards. As the boundaries of the City's sewer service area are the same as the urban growth boundary, sewer service may not be extended beyond the City limits. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 178 of 510 System Capacity Sewer system capaci , is dependent on a number of factors,including adequately sized pipes to collect wastewater,j2roperl3 sloped pipes to allow adeduate gravi , flow, the capacity of downstream treatment facilities to accept wastewater, and the level of inflow and infiltration into the system. An updated hydraulic computer model of the Cit,'s wastewater system was completed in 2000, and the Cit,Lpdates and uses this model to evaluate the effects of changes to the sewer system resulting from new development on system capacity. Hydraulic modeling does not show any current capacity deficiencies in the Cit Zs collection system:however, capaci , may become an issue at various locations as the Cit, develops and population increases. Infrastructure Replacement Much of Port Townsend's existing sewer infrastructure dates from the 1940s and 1950s. Sewer infrastructure in the Historic District is even older,much of it dating from the 1920s and 1930s. These facilities have reached the end of their useful life, and many are in need of replacement. The Wastewater Plan establishes a list of recommended capital improvements to the sewer s,, sem, ranked in priori!, order,which includes extensive replacement of wastewater collection pipes, elimination or replacement of lift stations,rehabilitation or improvement of aging interceptor lines. A complete list of proposed capital improvements is included in Appendix G of the Wastewater Facilities Plan.

Policy 1424.54: Continue to provide wastewater utility rate assistance to low income households, Gnifil Stormwater Port Townsend's surface water system consists of wetlands and constructed systems that manage drainage, provide flood protection,and water duality treatment. Surface water management is important to meet social, economic, and ecological needs including flood protection,erosion control,water supnl)�, groundwater recharge, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 182 of 510 Impervious surfaces in an urban,growing community such as Port Townsend can affect surface and groundwater quali , through stormwater runoff containing12ollutants from roads and parking lots and landscaping. Impervious surfaces can also decrease groundwater recharge and increase the Quantity of peak flows of runoff. The existing surface water drainage system is meeting capaci , requirements under normal conditions. However,in some areas of the City_ the system has become inadequate to serve present needs during large,infrequent storm events. Problems include flooding and ponding caused by inadequately sized pipes,ditches and detention facilities. As new development and redevelopment occur,Low Impact Development ID) practices would be implemented to conserve native soils and vegetation,protect hgic processes (e.g. infiltration) and reduce and treat overland stormwater flow to more closely match native forest or prairie conditions. Selected examples of LID techniques include bioretention planters,rain gardens, and permeable sidewalks to provide water quahty treatment and reduce stormwater flow. Stormwater Utility Port Townsend's Stormwater Utili , manages stormwater and surface water in the City limits. The boundaries of the City's stormwater service area are the same as the City limits. The Utility develops policies,basin plans,development design standards and capital improvement projects in order to maintain and restore the quality of Port Townsend's surrounding waters, improve drainage and reduce flooding_ The City currenflLperates astorm system maintenance program that includes cleaning catch basins,pipes and other facilities,along with a street vacuum sweeping12rogram. The maintenance programs remove sediment and pollutants from City-owned and operated storm systems and streets, which reduces flooding and non-point source pollution from being discharged into water bodies in the Ci .

Solid Waste MaRageRgeR Overview While solid waste collection is managed by the Citi Port Townsend maintains an interlocal agreement with Jefferson County for disposal of collected solid waste. This interlocal agreement also authorizes Jefferson County to include Port Townsend in Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. Port Townsend's Solid Waste Utility administers the City's solid waste,rec3 cling and ,yard waste collection for all residents and businesses through a contract with Waste Connections of Washington.Inc. for the Citv. The City's Solid Waste Utility also develops and manages Port Townsend's rec3 cling12rogram,waste reduction,hazardous waste education,and special collection events. Collection Process and Solid Waste Facilities Solid waste is collected every week along with either,yard waste or rec)rcling,which are collected every other week. The collected waste is brought to Jefferson County's Transfer Station located off of Jacob Miller Road. Residents of unincorporated Jefferson Count.as well as City residents, are allowed to use this facility for self-haul disposal. All solid waste produced in Port Townsend is brought to the Klickitat County Roosevelt Regional Landfill. All recyclables collected from single-family duplex and multi-family residents are brought to Jefferson Coun ,'s Rec3 cling Center off of Jacob Miller Road,while ,yard waste from single-family and duplex residents is taken to the City's Compost Facility located on Jefferson Coun ,'s site. At this time, the capacities of the Jefferson County Transfer Station,the Roosevelt Landfill, Jefferson Coun ,'s Rec3 cling Center, and Port Townsend's Compost Facility are sufficient to meet current and future City needs. Goal 2-32: Manage solid waste in a responsible, environmentally sensitive, and cost-effective manner.

Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 192 of 510 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 193 of 510 INTRODUCTION The goose of the Capital Facilities S T T Element is to identify and coordinate improvements necessary to accommodate orderly�Yrowth_ set policy direction for capital improvements_ and ensure capital improvements ~ X are provided in a timely manner. The need to provide specific facilities and services is directly linked to community expectations. Capital facilities ftiid ttfi4ities represent the infrastructure, or foundation, of a community and are integral to accommodating growth. Capital facilities are defined as public facilities considered necessary for community development. Utilities include private and public enterprises__that supply Port Townsend with water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, storm drainage, electricity, telecommunications, and cable television. While some of these capital facilities and utilities are provided by the City, others are provided by other government entities and private companies. The Capital Facilities Plan-of the Comprehensive Plan consists of two portions: this 20:Y ar and the 6-,year Capital Facilities Program. The element,which is this chapter of the Plan, contains the overall policies and strategies for the provision of adequate public facilities and services. It includes policy direction for funding and ongoing budgeting, a selection process, and maintenance of capital facilities for economic development. This element also contains an inventory of existing and proposed capital facilities, and identifies deficiencies in capital facilities and the actions necessary to eliminate such deficiencies. re The Capital Facilities Program, as described at the end of the element_includes the Cijesyear Capital Improvement Program and annual budget, as well the functional plans for various capital facilities and departments that are incorporated by reference to this element. PLANNING CONTEXT Growth Management Act Requirements The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that communities adopt comprehensive plans thatwlii� are designed to guide orderly development and growth over the next 20 years. The Cit- tt 14ewe-_„v ~' GMA addresses capital facilities and utilities independently regarding planning requirements, particularly concerning funding issues. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 194 of 510 The County-Wide Planning Policy RegHiFeMeRtS The Capital Facilities & �4646es Element of the Plan must Abe consistent with the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County (Policy#2, "Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and the Provision of Urban Services to such Development"). The relevant sections of that Policy are summarized below: • The full range of urban governmental services at the adopted level of service standards will be planned for and provided within urban growth areas (UGAs),including: water;, sanitary sewer;,piped fire flow;,and stormwater systems. • New development must meet the adopted level of service standards established for UGAs as a condition of project approval. Standards must include interim provisions for urban facilities identified in the capital facilities plan. New development will be required to contribute its proportionate share towards provision of urban facilities identified in the capital facilities plan. • Urban services and facilities will not be extended beyond UGA boundaries unless needed to protect the public health or welfare, or to protect an area of environmental sensitivity. The minimum design capacity for all planned capital facilities will be based upon the total population projected for the service area at the end of the 20-=year planning period. seere rttblie &6146--s. ; , ff fttittftfy 6, 2003)1. pttfrose • Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 195 of 510 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Quality of Life Capital facilities ftiid ttfi4ities directly affect a community's quality of life. Determining the appropriate type,location,and amount of public facilities ��is a key component of the Comprehensive Plan. These facilities will significantly influence the community's growth over the life of the plan. Participants in the Port Townsend 2020 process defined several objectives as important to the quality of life in Port Townsend. These objectives are described within the Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter 44-1-3 of this Plan, and include: • To enhance the diversity and strength of Port Townsend's economic and employment base by encouraging environmentally sound businesses,with minimal impacts on natural resources. • To maximize the safety and security of Port Townsend residents by encouraging residential development within distinct neighborhoods that are provided with adequate public facilities and utilities. • To carefully redevelop shoreline areas and increase their accessibility both from the land and from the water. • To reduce reliance on the automobile and encourage the establishment of pedestrian and bicycle oriented transportation options. • To take an active role to ensure the preservation of Port Townsend's many parks, open spaces, environmentally sensitive areas, and marine vistas. • To promote the highest standards to preserve the natural environment and Port Townsend's high quality of life. • To maintain and enhance Port Townsend's standing as a center for the arts and cultural events, and to build the City's status as a regional center for learning. • To preserve a tangible link to Port Townsend's celebrated past by ensuring the preservation of the City's many historic sites and structures, and by encouraging new compatible development. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 196 of 510 • To provide a variety of housing choices for Port Townsend residents,including affordable housing. All of these aspects of community development are dependent upon the provision of adequate capital facilities and utilities. , Concurrency To serve new growth and development, the GNIA requires that certain facilities and services be provided concurrent with new development. In the case of transportation improvements, a financial commitment to provide them within six years must be made. Facilities_-that are subject to concurrency in the City are transportation,water,wastewater, and stormwater. > > hetigef fefta eftpftefta jffttttfffy 10, • • by> > , ., Essential Public Facilities The GNIA requires that the comprehensive plans of cities contain a process for identifying and siting "essential public facilities" (Chapter 365-195-340 WAC). "Essential public facilities" is a specialized term that relates to larger "regional" facilities,like landfills,prisons or airports. Typically,it is difficult to find locations for these facilities due to neighborhood opposition. The GNIA gives local jurisdictions authority to define essential public facilities__that are subject to a separate siting process. The County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County includes a list of difficult-to-=site facilities and services (i.e., CWPP 4.1). This list is not intended to be all inclusive. Rather,it should function as a guide for the City, service providers, developers and residents. Listed facilities include: • Local waste handling and treatment facilities such as landfills, drop-box sites,and sewage treatment facilities • Airports Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 197 of 510 • State educational facilities • Essential state public facilities • Regional transportation and stormwater drainage facilities • Utility facilities • State and local correctional facilities • In-patient facilities (including substances abuse and mental health facilities) The Comprehensive Plan should establish policies he es f fthlishea to ensure that essential public +hese facilities are compatible with adjacent or nearby land uses. Thefefefe, The County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County includes a list of criteria for the siting of essential public facilities__ These criteria have been incorporated in pPolicy 7.1 of this element. Endangered Species Listings In March of 1999, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) determined that the summer chum originating from Hood Canal and the Strait of Juan de Fuca represented an Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) and formally listed these fish under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as a threatened species. NOAA Fisheries listed 44 steelhead stocks for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act in May 2001.1ti Febfitfffy 1997, v Port Townsend has no salmon streams within its City limits,but is surrounded on three sides by a sensitive marine habitat, and draws its water from rivers that are significant spawning grounds. The US Forest Service and the Ci ,r signed a 20-,year renewal of three special use permits for the operation and maintenance of the municipal diversions and transmission lines in 2009. One of the new permit conditions includes a reduirement to maintain a 27 cubic feet per second (cfs) instream flow in the Big Ouilcene River below the municipal diversion. The minimum instream flow for the Little Ouilcene River is 6 cfs through the diversion. Endangered species listings could have profound importance on capital facilities planning, and there necessitates v__frh__ __ the City's commitment to take utmost care of our natural systems. The City has already taken important steps,including: • Capital Facilities -The development of a wastewater treatment facility with secondary treatment, the creation of the Stormwater Utility preserving and enhancing natural drainage systems,reducing the rate of increase of toxic runoff related to automobile use through development of a nonmotorized transportation system, and management of the drinking water system with the needs of fish in mind. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 198 of 510 • Regulation - Passage of environmentally sensitive areas regulations,regulation of activities through the Shoreline Master Program,implementation of best management practices for development under the Engineering Design Standards Manual, and adherence to the controlled growth principles of the GMA. In the future, the City will participate actively with other jurisdictions in the development and implementation of regional management plans for protection of the listed species,will continue to improve the protection offered by our regulations, and will implement the capital facilities projects called for in this element of the Plan to improve the wastewater,water, and stormwater systems of the City. , 1998)1.

Because of this fundamental relationship,it is wise to consider what economic development is expected to accomplish. The term "economic development" is not synonymous with growth.That is,rapid population growth can occur without corresponding economic development. whole, > Economic development usually means the strengthening of an economy by providing more jobs and producing more revenue within the community,including tax revenues for local governments. Over the long term, our economy needs to be balanced,�l diverse, eiiottg-h foand nimble enough to recover from extreme weather events, energy issues, and economic challenges. . A diverse economy also provides a wider variety of)ob opportunities suited to all skill levels in the work force. A primary goal of the Community Direction Statement (see Chapter+443 of this Plan) is to provide more"family--wage"jobs.Providing better jobs and more economic opportunities should improve the community's ability to guarantee affordable housing to all,by raising incomes rather than having to rely on cutting the quality of housing. The result of successful economic growth is to strengthen the community's tax and employment base. A strengthened tax base enables the community to support a higher quality of life for its residents by improving public services and amenities (e.g.,police and fire protection,roads, schools,libraries,parks, open space,utilities, etc.). Ideally, economic development in Port Townsend should balance economic vitality with sustainabilitv�, environmental protection,and preservation of our small town atmosphere. How does this translate more specifically? The answers should come from ourselves,from our own community vision. Do we want to expand our economic base?If so,what kind of diversity do we want? What are the natural resources or other features of our community that we can build on to accomplish economic development?What would be the best jobs for our residents in terms of their compatibility with our small town atmosphere? The purpose of this Economic Development Element is to provide guidance for maintaining, enhancing,and creating economic activity within Port Townsend__that is consistent with the Community Direction Statement contained in Chapter 3144 of this Plan. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 277 of 510 PLANNING CONTEXT eeoiioffife s aevft'~et Growth Management Act Reduirements Although the GMA declared the economic development element reduirement null and void pending state funding like man3jurisdictions,Port Townsend has chosen to create and adopt an economic development element. 'An economic development element establishing local mals,policies, objectives, andprovisions for economicgron)th and vitality and a high quality of life." (Chapter 36.70A. 070(7) RCW). Future land uses should be closely tied to a city's economic strategy.Accordingly,this Comprehensive Plan must be closely linked and integrated with an economic strategy to guide,promote, and attract economic development appropriate for Port Townsend. Addifioiift4y,4The GMA provides some direction for incorporating economic development considerations into the Comprehensive Plan. Among the 14-3 planning goals contained within the GMA, one pertains specifically to economic development: "Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent Pith adopted comprehensive plans,promotes economic opportunity4_for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and disadvantagedpersons, and encourages gron)th in areas experiencing insuf tient economicgron)th, all P)ithin the capacities of the state's natural resources,public services, and public facilities."(Chapter 36.70A. 020(.0 RCW). The GMA also contains goals_- that apply to permits and natural resource industries.These goals relate closely to a community's economic vitality: 'Applications for both state and localgovernmentpeimits should be processed in a timejandfair manner to ensure predictability."(Chapter 36.70A.020(7) RCW). "Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries."(Chapter 36.70A. 020(8) RCW). County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County (CWPP) The economic development element must also be consistent with the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County, specifically.,Policy#7, "County-Wide Economic Development and Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 278 of 510 Employment." (Chapter 36.70A.210 RCW). helow!Policy#7 recognizes the distinct roles of local government and the private sector: "The private sector should be primarily responsible for creating economic opportunity in f erson County. The responsibility of local government is to assure that economic development activities are carried out in a manner that is consistent PPith defined community and environmental values. In order to ensure such consistency, the comprehensive plan should clearly idenfif y these values so that economic opportunities Pill not be lost due to confusion or unreliability of process." Local government is also responsible for internal coordination of capital facilities,land use, and utilities, as well as external coordination with other entities,including the Port of Port Townsend. The CWPP directs that the comprehensive plan give particular attention to the needs of nonservice sector businesses and industries and recognize that some businesses are best suited for the UGA while others may be better suited for the rural unincorporated areas." IYF Summary of the Major-Eeenemie Development issues Faeing Port Townsen CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES The City's 1996 Comprehensive Plan was adopted during a time of rapid growth, development, and economic expansion in Washington State. Over the last decade, both population growth and economic expansion have slowed markedl)�in Jefferson County and the Citv of Port Townsend. Economic 44t&challenges include: of fhis „le ffi w is fo ftehi,-_„ f4eImplementing economic development goals outlined in the Community Direction Statement(see Chapter 314 of this Plan);in a way__that maintains Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 279 of 510 and enhances Port Townsend's special character and small town atmosphere. 1. —Adapting to an older demographic,changes in the economy and changes in how people work. An estimated 24.6% of Port Townsend residents are age 65 and over versus a statewide average of just 12.3%'. Taken together, the combination of demographic and economic data depicts a community with two distinct economies– distinguished between those who receive incomes from employment locally and those reliant on non-wage sources of income. Meanwhile.more Port Townsend residents are choosing to be self-emplo3�ed (26-27% of Port Townsend areself employ, more than double the 10% statewide average). 2. —Lingering effects of the 2008 recession. Port Townsend and Jefferson County were affected more severely than most of the rest of the state during the recession. While the state experienced job losses over a two--3 ear period from 2008-2010) followed b3�net gains, Tefferson Coun , experienced a net loss of over 1,380 jobs between 2006 and 2012,a 15% decline in total employment. Only in 2013 did recovery begin to get underway but only barely. Current county-wide unemployment rates are 33% above the rest of the state;wages and incomes are lower. 3. A lack of family wage jobs. The average wage in Jefferson County is well below the state average. As of 2014,the average wage in Jefferson Coun is just above$34.500 perms.only 63% of the statewide average. Lower wages are attributable in large part to under-representation of traded sectoremployment–in higher wage jobs as with manufacturing professional, and technical services. Currently, jobs are disproportionately skewed toward lower wage occupations, as in retail and accommodations (including lodging and food service). 4. —Lack of shovel-ready vacant industrial land. Appropriately zoned land with full municipal infrastructure is critical to accommodating and attracting new higher wage employment. 5. —Lack of affordable housing, as detailed in Chapter 5. Housing Element. 4.6. Limitations on the City's ability to fund and provide basic infrastructure and services. Port Townsend will be forced to rely even more heavily on local sources of revenue as state and Source:2010 US Census Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 280 of 510 federal funding of community services and capital improvements becomes increasingly difficult to obtain. 7. Potential for economic disrul2tions resulting from limits to the availability of energy sul2plies, constraints of a global economy,and climate change effects. These converging issues compel the Ci1y to begin l2lanning for transition and resilience. 8. The City has the opportunity to expand and develop emerging economic sectors: The City's historic downtown waterfront and the Port of Port Townsend continue to serve the tourist economy marine trades resi2ectively. Health services are eVanding (notably iml2rovements by Jefferson HealthCare) and new economic sectors are emerging. 01212ortunities include a craft and light manufacturing district in the Howard Street/Upper Sims Way Corridor, education at Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center, and facilities that sul2port the growing local food economy. Community interest in developing and using renewable energy sources also presents an opportunity. Technological innovations are changing how people work. With these advancements, more businesses are locating based on duality-of-life for the eml2loyees vs. access to a major transl2ortation corridor. In addition to new technologies.the City benefits from an educated 12opulation—Port Townsend has a greater 12rol2ortion of the adult 12ol2uladon with a bachelor's degree or better as compared with adults countywide and statewide. .

AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR PORT TOWNSEND The Strategy Introduction Traditionally,local governments have played a significant, though limited,role in shaping how local economies perform. Regional,national and global economies have had a much greater impact on the local economy than economic development plans and policies adopted by local jurisdictions. When local government has been involved,its leadership in promoting economic development has usually been limited to several key areas,including: • Land use (i.e., zoning development standards,permit processing); • Public facility and infrastructure investments (e.g., utilities, transportation improvements, public safety,parks,visitor amenities, etc.); and • Marketing cooperation and coordination with other entities (e.g.,Jefferson County, Port of Port Townsend, Chamber of Commerce,Economic Development Council (EDC), citizens and property owners, businesses, etc.). • Like these earlier efforts,the City's economic development strategy'also focuses on these key areas: Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 289 of 510 • Policies have been incorporated_- that ensure that Port Townsend will have an adequate supply of appropriately zoned land to support future commercial and manufacturing development. • Direction has been included__e that will help to guide the City in streamlining its permit processing system to provide more timely, fair and predictable permit processing. When implemented, these measures will help to ensure that the City will not miss opportunities for economic development due to delay or uncertainty of process. • Additionally,policies have been included_-e that will help to ensure that appropriate public services and facilities are in place to attract and support economic development. • Finally,policies have been included__that foster cooperation and coordination with entities at the state,regional and local levelfft~~~~r offs f =Povf of Poyf-rff ,efte_ Te ffe fsoft J These provisions ensure that government agencies and other entities will work together to develop and implement consistent strategies__that promote the economic health and diversity of the area. In addition to emphasizing these traditional components of an economic development strategy, the City's approach seeks to clearly articulate a course of action__that will help to improve the job skills available in the workforce,bolster several sectors of our local economy, and improve our telecommunications infrastructure. The strategy seeks to maximize our potential for future economic growth in a manner__that is consistent with community and environmental values.Major areas of emphasis within the strategy include: • Training/Education; • Marine Trades; • Diversified Manufacturing and Small Business (e.g., small scale "clean" industry); • Tourism (which capitalizes on opportunities for year round cultural and educational visitation); • Retail Trades (including a Commercial Historic District revitalization component); and • Telecommunications Infrastructure. The key ingredients of the strategy are discussed in more detail below. [Note: Priorities for these steps should be established during the 1997 annual Budget process in light of the City's limited financial and staff resources.] Training/Education Building and diversifying our economic base must begin with support for the survival and expansion of local small business. It is as important to prevent businesses from going out of business as it is to Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 290 of 510 attract new businesses. The new cannot replace what has been the backbone of our economy,but it can enhance our economic base. How can we retain existing business and industry while setting the stage for sustainable future growth? The unifying principle of the strategy lies in improving the skills available in our labor force. Port Townsend possesses many highly educated individuals. Nevertheless, many possess job skills _- that are not directly relevant to the economic sectors we wish to encourage. To address this situation, the strategy envisions a three—step scheme for improving workforce skills. The first step involves maintaining and expanding the capacity to provide rapid turn-around training for workers. This should be accomplished by obtaining additional funding for the Economic Development Council(EDC) or die jeffef soii Rdtteftfioii Foutidft6oiieducation partners to reestablish -,4fa4i�!e the Magnet Center or launch similar training facilities. The mission of die Al � aef Cewef should be specific: to provide short course vocational and certification training programs to enhance competence of employees in the marine trades and retail sales sectors. The second step requires working with partners to develop a local engineering/ manufacturing capability. To facilitate this, the City, ee; should work with Peninsula College to identify curricula and degree programs__that promote Port Townsend's economic vision. Examples of possible degree programs include two-year Associate's Degrees in engineering and natural resource management. Additionally Howard Street Corridor might serve as the location for technologically sophisticated and environmentally friendl3 incubator industries that could offer educational opportunities. The final step involves supporting Washington State Parks, Fort Worden PDA,and other economic and educational entities in the development of a Lifelong Learning Center at the Fort Worden PDA campus. 1. Promote vocational training and educational opportunities w-kieh that strengthen and increase the skills available in the workforce. 2. Involve the Port Townsend School District in key discussions (e.g., a "manufacturer's roundtable,";discussed below)__that relate to the economic development of the City in order to facilitate a better understanding of the skills needed in the local job market. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 291 of 510 3. 4;—Work with"e--i--s-_'__ Ge'_'_eg artners to develop a local engineering/manufacturing capability,:Provide direction to Peninsula College regarding what programs would facilitate the community's vision (e.g.,Associate's Degrees in engineering and natural resource management). 4. 415�. Work with fhe Perff.f ffi ttf of Nfff_yff Resottvees fe) rttvehffse ,...a le ff e l fffte sttifffble a diversity of institutions such as ~he Cewef, Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center, eninsula College,and Washington Long Distance Learning to increase professional education and higher education opportunities). 5. 56. In conjunction with the establishment of a technical training/education center, examine the feasibility of attracting an on--campus research station to Port Townsend. 6. 67. Facilitate a formal process involving all Jefferson County School Districts, EDC, Chamber,Main Street,.-Washington State University Cooperative Extension,Western Washington University,Peninsula College, and the University of Washington to determine what opportunities and obstacles exist to attracting a quality four-:!year college to Port Townsend. 7. 78 Enlist the EDC to work with the Rdtte tioii F-otti d ioi education partners in recruiting a four-::year educational institution to Port Townsend. 8. _ , Send letters to the Deans of Instruction of all four-::year public and private colleges and universities in Washington State apprising them of Port Townsend's desire to attract a four-=year institution of higher education . 9. 910. Sponsor a twice yearly 1llwp-)f�workshop on "Future Prospects for Higher Education in Port Townsend" designed to attract Deans of Instruction to town and maintain an ongoing dialogue with candidate institutions. 10. 1 n�Designate a member of the Development Services Department as the City's official "Education Liaison" for the college recruitment effort. 11. 112. Develop and maintain updated college recruitment information to provide to candidate institutions and the local news media. 12. 42-3—Work with Main Street, the Chamber of Commerce,EDC and other local entities to ensure that informational and recruitment publications emphasize Port Townsend as the "City that supports culture and education on the Olympic Peninsula." 13. 1;4—Research,identify, and offer appropriate incentives for businesses that provide "in-house" training and education to bolster employee skills. Marine Trades The Community Direction Statement of this Plan (see Chapter 4I3) describes the community we wish Port Townsend to become in the next 20 years. The statement makes clear that marine-related Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 292 of 510 commerce and industry and maintenance of the "working waterfront" character of the City are central to the community's vision. The potential for expansion of the marine trades sector of our local economy is considerable. The largest obstacles to growth of this industrial sector include: a lack of appropriately located and zoned vacant land;and a lack of Port infrastructure to service larger and increased numbers of boats.As long ago as 1985, the Economic Development Council's (EDC) economic development strategy indicated that added moorage,water side work space,large capacity lifts and haulout facilities and port area improvements were necessary to allow expansion. Completion of the 3-200 ton enhanced haul-out facility has gone age a long way towards alleviating existing infrastructure needs. The City should continue top lay a key role in encouraging the marine trades economy. One important step the City took shouldf„l_„is-,A as to plan and zone to promote marine-related commerce and industry in specific shoreline areas as part of the Shoreline Master Program Update 2007). Equally important is the City's role in cooperating with the Port to develop and implement master plans for Port properties which are consistent and coordinated with City plans and programs. Finally, the City should take a leadership role in promoting the skills available in Port Townsend's marine trades workforce. 1. Work with the Port of Port Townsend to develop the infrastructure ., necessary to facilitate the growth of the marine trades economy. 2. Work with the Port of Port Townsend in exploring options to ensure alternative transient moorage facilities. 3. Work with the Port of Port Townsend to obtain "pass through" grant funding to finance stormwater management planning and facility improvements on Port owned lands. 4. Encourage and assist the Port in developing a master plan for the Boat Haven properties. 5. Assist the Port in the development and implementation of master plans for Port properties that are consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program. 6. Enhance fhe Alff"e~Cffveev Cewef'_ efforts to provide vocational training__that expands the skills available in the marine trades workforce. 7. Encourage the Port to work with the Indian Island Naval Detachment to organize and establish a yearly marine "trades show" __that borrows upon the technical expertise of the federal government to build and enhance the job skills available in the marine trades workforce. 8. Cooperate with the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding to organize and promote seminars,workshops,and trade exhibitions designed to attract wide attendance while showcasing Port Townsend's quality marine trades industry. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 293 of 510 Diversified Manufacturing & Small Business The economic development strategy envisions Port Townsend as the center of eastern Jefferson County's economy and employment,with a diversity of commercial and industrial activities thriving and providing employment opportunities for residents.The strategy also envisions that cottage-=based industries and low impact light manufacturing will have a strong presence in the community. Small manufacturers and emerging technologies deserve special attention in the City's strategy for two principle reasons. First, small manufacturers are able to more rapidly respond to changes in the market place. Economic diversity can be strengthened if we have a variety of small companies doing different things,rather than one large company doing one thing. Second, small scale diversified manufacturing has a tremendous potential to generate additional employment opportunities (note: statistics indicate that for every one manufacturing job created,five more jobs are created in support services and other manufacturing). For these reasons, the City's strategy seeks to assist in the identification and recruitment of small scale "clean" industry and cottage-=based industries__that are appropriate to Port Townsend's resources and vision. The strategy also describes the City's role as "facilitator"in encouraging industries to pursue joint marketing opportunities_- that could lead to exportation of local goods and services throughout the global economy. 1. Designate and zone a sufficient amount of land to support small scale"clean"manufacturing. 2. Ensure that the 6-=year Capital Facilities Plan targets areas designated for small scale "clean" manufacturing for necessary infra-structure improvements. 3. Research,identify,and offer development incentives for new businesses and business expansions_- that are appropriate to Port Townsend's resources and vision. 4. Establish a "quick response" team comprised of key officials and staff members who are available to meet with, and provide guidance to,prospective business developers. 5. Contract with the Economic Development Council(EDC) to develop and make available to prospective businesses vital economic development information regarding the City, including;but not limited to;-; economic base,;capital infrastructure,; City permitting processes;; and specific sectors desired by the City. 6. Organize and facilitate a manufacturer's roundtable to identify and pursue joint marketing opportunities, and to examine the possibilities for increased foreign trade. 7. Review, and if necessary, amend existing zoning regulations to allow compatible home- -based businesses and cottage industries in residential areas. 8. Develop a listing of all available sources of funding for economic development efforts. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 294 of 510 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. Compared to the state,relativelLgh proportions of local jobs are found in the retail,accommodation and food services,other services and government sectors,which account for about 60% of employment countywide versus just over 40% statewide. iii jeffefsoii Cottiioy, fthottf 26,41 . While these jobs may not provide the desired wages or e-ft "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 (see Chapter 3+4 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's 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. 1. Carry out the capital improvements recommendations contained in the 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. Tourism The City's strategy focusses on managing and integrating tourism into the economy while safeguarding the unique qualities__that bring residents and visitors to Port Townsend in the first place. Many residents feel that peak season tourist volumes in Port Townsend are at or near the saturation point.Additionally, surveys indicate that preservation of the heritage,culture and environment of Port Townsend is critical to the community. Accordingly, the focus of the strategy is maintaining and enhancing sustainable year round opportunities for visitation.Reducing the"seasonality" of the tourist industry could reduce the fluctuation in income,employment,and tax revenues in the retail and service sectors. Additionally,reducing seasonality could diminish impacts to the environment, downtown parking demands, and overall conflicts between residents and visitors. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 295 of 510 1. Provide adequate funding to the t-Tourism advisory ZGroup to promote off-season cultural and educational visitation to Port Townsend. 2. Enlist the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce,Main Street and Economic Development Council (EDC) in researching and identifying small businesses, organizations, and associations__e that hold off--season educational meetings and corporate retreats. 3. Examine the feasibility of establishing and funding a maritime museum. 4. Contract with the Main Street Program or the Chamber of Commerce to provide ongoing customer service training for retail and service sector businesses. 5. Obtain adequate funding for the Visitor Information Center. 6. Assist the Main Street Program and the Chamber of Commerce in developing a targeted marketing program_- that clearly defines the tourist market, establishes strategies for reaching target markets, and communicates when and how best to come for maximum enjoyment of the area. 7. Continue to ilmprove and expand signage,both directional and interpretive,throughout the City. 8. Work with the Main Street Program, the Chamber of Commerce and the EDC to develop a mechanism for the collection and continuous maintenance of target market information. Commercial Historic District Revitaliztation Port Townsend's plan for revitalization of the Commercial Historic District identifies three important areas of involvement for City government. First, the City's plan should ensure the provision and maintenance of appropriate public improvements in the Commercial Historic District.The quality of the physical link between public and private spaces is crucial to the proper functioning of the Commercial Historic District—and its businesses. Public improvements should help create an inviting environment for shoppers,with clearly marked streets, convenient shopping places,well-lit sidewalks and good pathways between parking areas and stores. Public improvements should provide basic infrastructure and services in a manner that is visually compatible with the nature of the functions they support. In order to implement the Commercial Historic District revitalization policies of this element, the City should develop a comprehensive public improvements program_- that is tailored to the specific needs of the district while reinforcing private projects. Second, the City's plan should provide adequate parking and parking management to meet the needs of customers,merchants, employees,visitors,and residents. It should be regulated to encourage turnover of customer spaces and to discourage abuse by long-term parkers. In order to ensure well designed,maintained and managed parking in the Commercial Historic District, the City should develop a parking management strategy. The parking management strategy should take into account Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 296 of 510 not only the numbers and locations of parking spaces,but also methods of enforcement- the incentives and disincentives that can be used to encourage parking in certain areas. Finally, the City should provide assistance to the Main Street Program in strengthening the Commercial Historic District's existing economic base and gradually expanding it. The City,in conjunction with the Main Street Program, should work to enhance diverse resident and visitor-based commercial activities and community events in the downtown. 1. In cooperation with the Main Street Program and merchants,develop a comprehensive public improvements program for the Commercial Historic District__that is tailored to the specific needs of the area while reinforcing private projects. The program should: a. Help to develop public/private partnerships to improve the pedestrian environment;: b. Promote the use of pedestrian visible signage in the Commercial Historic District; and C. Ensure that Commercial Historic District public improvements are adequately maintained in order to create a pleasant environment. 2. In cooperation with the Main Street Program and merchants, develop a Commercial Historic District parking management strategy. In developing the program the City should: a. Examine incentive based programs, coupled with education, to reverse resistance to using more remote parking areas; and b. Consider a variety of parking control alternatives,including:parking meters,;chalking tires„cash boxes„and parking permits. 3. In conjunction with the Main Street Program, the City should work to strengthen the Commercial Historic District's existing economic base and gradually expand it. Activities which should be pursued through the Main Street Program include: a. Studying local market conditions,identifying areas of opportunity and designating strategies to build on those opportunities; b. Helping existing businesses find better ways to meet their customer's needs and expand to meet market opportunities; C. Recruit new businesses to complement the district's retail and service mix and boost overall market effectiveness; d. Find new or better uses for under-used or vacant downtown buildings; and e. Seminars and short courses offered to merchants regarding: customer service/host training;,understanding the market,; diversifying the mix,; and window and retail display. 4. Coordinate with the Main Street Program to maintain an organizational structure__that is efficient and effective in promoting the Commercial Historic District. Activities which should be pursued through the Main Street Program include: Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 297 of 510 a. Promoting events which enliven the Commercial Historic District; and b. Maintaining an ongoing planning and action program involving the business community of the Commercial Historic District. , m}1. Telecommunications Telecommunications in Port Townsend include both wired and wireless telephone services,cable and satellite television and high-speed broadband technologies.The City's strategy pays special attention to upgrading telecommunications infrastructure to promote home_based personal and professional service businesses.

This corridor is envisioned as a mixed employment work district Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 298 of 510 comprised of commercial,light industrial, and service uses,with median and higher density residential along the periphery of the work district. Planned improvements will provide approximately acres of fully served, employment land including shovel-ready industrial acreage with the potential to create 1,465 jobs (representing 12.8% of the current countywide labor force). The development of the Howard Street Corridor is part of a strategy to address as ,vet unrecovered job loss from the Recession and match anticipated countyide population growth both currently and over the next 20 eaV rs. To meet these employment targets,a healthy business climate needs to be nurtured in Port Townsend. This can be done by building on Port Townsend's economic development potentials;and overcoming its constraints. Positive momentum must be started.The community must see the possibilities,believe that the strategy is possible, and believe that the approach will enhance the viability and character of the community.

Such a plan should be the result of considerable public input, study, and analysis of existing physical, economic, environmental and social conditions, and a projection of likely future conditions. Concurrency: A Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement which mandates that public transportation infrastructure (e.g., arterials and transit routes) needed to maintain adopted level of service standards is available within six years of development. The GMA mandates concurrency for transportation facilities, and allows local jurisdictions to establish their own concurrency requirements for other necessary public infrastructure (e.g.,water,wastewater, stormwater). Concurrency is also a mechanism for assuring that improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are in place at the time of development approval, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within a specified period of time (e.g., six years).

Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 322 of 510 A document or series of documents prepared by a professional planning staff and planning commission that sets forth guidelines and policies for the future development of a community. Such a plan should be the result of considerable public input, study, and analysis of existing physical, economic, environmental and social conditions, and a projection of likely future conditions. Concurrency: A Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement which mandates that public transportation infrastructure (e.g., arterials and transit routes) needed to maintain adopted level of service standards is available within six years of development. The GMA mandates concurrency for transportation facilities, and allows local jurisdictions to establish their own concurrency requirements for other necessary public infrastructure (e.g.,water,wastewater, stormwater). Concurrency is also a mechanism for assuring that improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are in place at the time of development approval, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within a specified period of time (e.g., six years). A process of reassessment, concurrency is a key link between land use, transportation,water and sewer, and development approval.

Table 1: OFM 2012 Projections Year Population Population Population Low Medium (High) 2036 27,426 38,349 49,638 2038 1 27,427 1 39,221 51,201 Adoption of this projection would bring the county and city squarely into GMA compliance with regard to population projections under sections 36.70A.130 and .110 RCW. OFM's low projection for 2036 and 2038 shows a population that is less than what it already is in 2015. OFM's high projection shows a growth pattern that is much greater than actual growth for the past 15 years. For these reasons, the staff recommends adoption of OFM's medium series projection extended to 2036 for the City and 2038 for the County unincorporated areas as the growth management planning population to be used in updating the comprehensive plans of the city and county. ALLOCATION: Using the OFM medium series projection for future GMA planning efforts, a reasonable urban versus rural population distribution must be determined. Once this urban component of growth is identified, specific allocations of urban population growth must be made to the county's urban areas. It should be understood that while selection of a countywide population projection falling within the OFM forecast range is mandatory, the manner in which this population is allocated within a county is entirely discretionary under the GMA, provided that all projected urban growth is allocated to properly designated urban areas. In 2003 (resolution 55-03), the allocation methodology remained consistent with the JGMSC's prior efforts, specifically: • Used the original, "three UGA"Watterson West Forecast developed in December of 1994 as the basis for the urban/rural disaggregation, rather than the "two UGA" forecast adopted by the JGMSC in March of 1996; • Identified the percentage of countywide growth projection to occur within the Port Townsend UGA, Tri-Area UGA and Port Ludlow MPR, respectively, under the original Watterson West forecast; and 8-20-15. Revised to include a County 20-year planning period of 2018-2038 2 Note: Consistent with the forecast and allocation adopted by the JGMSC in 1996,it was assumed that 90%of the projected growth within the Oak Bay/Port Ludlow planning area(planning area#7)would occur within the Port Ludlow MPR;it was further assumed that 90°%of the growth forecast for the Tri-Area planning area(planning area#3)would occur within the Tri-Area UGA. 5of9 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 344 of 510 • Allocated a proportionate share of the 2000 - 2024 projected countywide growth under the OFM medium series projection to the Port Townsend and Tri-Area UGAs and the Port Ludlow MPR. Application of this approach resulted in a total of approximately 70% of the county's total 2000 - 2024 growth being allocated to urban areas, with the balance of growth being directed to unincorporated rural and resource areas of the county. Some 36% of the projected countywide growth would be planned for and accommodated within the Port Townsend UGA, while a combined 34% would be accommodated within Tri-Area UGA and Port Ludlow MPR, shown below.

The adjusted urban allocations within the County reflect: • Port Townsend UGA— In regards to residential land, the city has a theoretical carrying capacity of over 30,000 people and thus, is adequately sized to accommodate anticipated future urban growth (12,165 by 2036). Assuming a population increase of 2,711 at 1.98persons/household, approximately 1,369 additional units will be needed by the end of the City's 20 year planning period at 2036 • Tri-Area - The percentage allocated to Tri-Area (Port Hadlock/lrondale) UGA is expected to increase once sewer service is available. The project has building permits issued for the first phase of the system, and the County is seeking the funding to construct the system. Anticipated growth will not likely be a straight-line increase. Rather it is expected that once the system is constructed, population will increase rapidly. The population projections for this area assume development at urban densities with sewer service available. Assuming 2.0 persons per household, to accommodate the projected population increase of 1,516, approximately 758 additional units i2 Source: Estimated using tract and block data, 2010 U.S. Census 13 Source: Estimated based on OFM's 2018 Projection for Jefferson County (31,405) and percentages in Column C. 14 In 2004, the Tri-Area UGA became known as the Port Hadlock/Irondale UGA_ Tri-Area is used here for consistency. 15 Source: 2010 U.S. Census 8 of 9 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 347 of 510 will be required by the end of the County's 20 year planning period at 2038 (1,516/2 = 758 DU's). • Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort was an existing MPR at the time of GMA adoption. According to U.S. Census data, the 2010 population of Port Ludlow was 2,603, with an estimated population per residence of 1.9 persons. The development agreement adopted in 2000 provides for a cap of 2,250 residential "Measurement Equivalent Residential Units" (MERU's). MERU is the measurement and transfer mechanism for capping total development within the MPR. One residential MERU equates to one residential unit and equals 200 gallons per day of sewer waste water flow. In 2015, 1,544 residential dwelling units (DU's) had been constructed, leaving 706 DU's remaining. Maximum buildout of Port Ludlow with a range of 1.4-1.9 people per residence equates to 3,375-4,275. Assuming a 75% buildout at 1.49 persons per household results in an estimated population increase of 789, meaning approximately 529 additional units will be needed by the end of the County's 20 year planning period at 2038. Given slower than anticipated growth, Jefferson County does not expect full buildout of Port Ludlow to occur within the 20-year planning period. • Brinnon future MPR land use designation was established in 2008. Approval by the Board of County Commissioners of zoning regulations and a development agreement is still required prior final establishment of the MPR and project construction. The maximum number of residential units for the MPR is capped at 890 units with a 35% maximum for permanent occupancy. 35% of 890 is 312units. Assuming a population increase of 352 during the 20 year planning period, at 1.5 persons per residence, approximately 235 additional units (or 75% buildout) will be needed by the end of the County's 20 year planning period at 2038. Note: the higher population values shown in Column's D and F in Tables 3 and 3A are theoretical amounts assuming growth occurred from 2010 to 2038. 9of9 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 348 of 510 JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST TO: Board of County Commissioners Philip Morley, County Administrator FROM: David Goldsmith, Interim Community Development Director DATE: October 26, 2015 SUBJECT: Resolution to adopt a Countywide Growth Management Population Projection and Allocation for 2016-2036 and 2018- 2038. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution adopting population projection and allocation for 2016-2036 and 2018-2038 STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The County and City of Port Townsend are each in the process of updating their GMA comprehensive plans. This work requires coordination and agreement between the City and County on certain items, especially future population projections and allocations, through the Joint Growth Management Steering Committee (JGMSC). The JGMSC has completed their work and voted unanimously to recommend the population projection and allocation to the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners for formal adoption. ANALYSIS: The allocation formula for 20 year population projections are as follows: 70% urban and 30% rural/resource lands, including the following: City of Port Townsend (36%), Port Hadlock/Irondale UGA (19.4%), Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (10.1%), Brinnon Master Planned Resort (4.5%) and unincorporated Rural and Resource areas of the County (30%)_ The population allocation is a foundational element of the GMA Comprehensive Plan and will be utilized in the update of the City's and the County's comprehensive plans. RECOMMENDATION: Pass the proposed Resolution adopting the Countywide Growth Management Population Projection and allocation for 2016-2036 and 2018-2035 as recommended by the JGMSC.

Ultimately, Alternative * was selected and used as the basis of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan IIIC IIII ° IIII °IIII IIID III IIII IIID"""11111""" °' ` IIID `IIII"""11111""°Y XNXI YSIS ` Summary The land use capacity analysis provides a range of theoretical buildout capacities for each planning subarea (see Chapter V - "Land Use Element," Figure V-1). It first determines which lots are undeveloped, underdeveloped and developed. Taking the lots that remain suitable for future development, it removes areas that are unbuildable due to environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs), providing an estimated number of buildable lots. Buildout is then calculated on a range of potential minimum lot sizes: 5,000 square feet; 10,000 square feet; and 20,000 square feet. To add further detail to the calculations, three scenarios for future development patterns were also used: "existing," "conservative, "and "ultimate"). These scenarios attempt to address how development actually occurs, or may occur in the future. For instance, a minimum lot size does not mean houses will only be built on one lot parcels. In Port Townsend for example, homes are typically built on two 5,000 square foot lots. The "conservative" and "existing" scenarios take this typical development pattern into account. However, the "ultimate" buildout scenario assumes that in the future, higher land values will lead to houses being built on single lots. The product of the development capacity analysis in a range of buildable lots for each planning subarea. Methodology The development capacity analysis model assumes single unit residential use. The assumption made when calculated developed parcels is that area is determinant. Small, one or two lot parcels are considered developed under a given scenario, provided they have an assessed building value over $10,000. All rights-of-way in previously planed areas where removed from the calculation. In unplatted areas, 30% of land was devoted to rights-of-way for parcels greater than 80,000 square feet in size. This modification is done when available lots have been determined. Uptown Port Townsend has approximately 40% of its area devoted to rights-of-way. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that future road infrastructure would occupy less space in platted areas than has historically been the case. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 350 of 510 The base lot size used for all calculations was 5,000 square feet. The existing conditions information contained in Chapter IV - "Description of the Planning Area," suggests that typical platted lots within Port Townsend are 5,000 square feet in size. The scenarios listed (i.e., "existing," "conservative," and "ultimate"), refer to a set of assumptions that condition the calculations. The assumptions are as follows: CURRENT EXISTING CONSERVATIVE ULTIMATE 2 lots per parcel 2 lots per parcel 1 lot per parcel FUTURE 1 lot per parcel 2 lots per parcel 1 lot per parcel These figures act as multipliers for base lot size and scenario lot size. Current values affecting base lot size and future values affecting scenario lot size. Determination of Parcels Available Variables for Examples: Base lot size - 5,000 square feet Scenario lot size - 5,000 square feet Undeveloped Parcels Definition: All parcels designated as 9100 or "vacant" by the Jefferson County Assessor, or which have an assessed building value of less than $10,000. 2 parcels:25,000 square feet(5 lots) 5,000 square feet(1 lot) 1.

In this case, the number of parcels is unaffected by the base lot size. In all scenarios, there are tow existing parcels. In scenarios 1 and 3, parcels in the future are assumed to consist of one lot. As the scenario lot size is the same as the existing lots, the two existing parcels can be further subdivided into six. None become too small to develop. In scenario 2, it is assumed that future parcels will consist of two lots. Parcel A can therefore be divided into two lots. Lot B becomes undevelopable, because it is smaller than 10,000 square feet. Developed Parcels Definition: Parcels designated as 7600 (community areas), 7400 (recreation), 9700 (exempt), 7311 (fairgrounds), and 8100 (open space) by the Jefferson County Assessor.

Existing Scenario: Under this scenario, parcels B and C are under or equal to twice the base lot size (2 x 5,000), and are therefore considered developed. In the future, it is assumed that 1 lot is one parcel, and thus only C is considered fully developed. The remaining parcels, A and B, are then underdeveloped. 2. Conservative Scenario: As with the existing scenario, two parcels are deemed developed. In the future, however, a parcel will comprise two lots. Lots B and C are both smaller or equal to 10,000 square feet, and so are considered developed. Once again. Lot A is underdeveloped. 3. Ultimate Scenario: Only parcel C is considered as having been developed, because it is equal to or smaller than the current base lot size of 5,000 square feet. With a scenario lot size of 5,000, in the future, 1 lot is also considered developed. The remaining parcels are later analyzed as underdeveloped parcels. If the scenario lot size were changed to 10,000, in the future, two lots would be indicated as having been developed. Underdeveloped Parcels Definition: Excludes lots that are established as being developed or undeveloped. Comprises parcels that are one or two times (scenario assumption) the base lot size. 1.

Existing Scenario: Only one parcel is greater than twice the base lot size. Removing first the principle lot leaves one parcel for potential development. The right- of-way condition applies in this case as well. 2. Conservative Scenario: Again, only one parcel is greater than twice the base lot size. Removing the principle lot leaves one parcel for potential development. The right- of-way condition applies in this case as well. 3. Ultimate Scenario: Two parcels exist that are greater than the base lot size, and are therefore underdeveloped. Removing the two base lots, four remain for further development. For parcels greater than 80,000 square feet in size, however, 30% of the land area is removed after the principle lots are removed. The area is then divided by the scenario lot size. Treatment of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) Four ESA types were factored into this analysis: wetlands; landslide/erosion hazard areas; drainage corridor (with 50 foot buffers); and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas. The adjoining illustrations indicates how ESAs can impact the development potential of a parcel. The ESA coverage was overlaid with the ownership coverage to create the data for this analysis. The ESAs used are those that have been mapped in Ac City's geographic Information system (CIS). Other ESAs exist and have been generally identified, but have not yet been mapped. In particular, the wetlands map does not show the full extent of wetlands known to exist within the City. The approach used to determine the impact of ESAs was to simply remove the area from the calculation. The area of an ESA within a parcel was removed, not the entire parcel. The remaining area was then subject to the same calculations that derived basic capacity. The manner in which the parcel polygons and ESA polygons intersect affects the base values. Base capacity using the ESA/Ownership database will be slightly lower than with the ownership database. Some parcels that formerly would have been included in the calculation are now dropped because they do not meet the threshold size.

Each subarea has a range of buildable lots, depending upon the development scenario applied (i.e., "existing," "conservative, "and "ultimate"). These numbers can be used to estimate the number of dwelling units which could be constructed under each DEIS alternative, and in turn, the population holding capacity of each alternative. Each alternative has an overall conceptual density and development pattern (see Figures X-3 through X-5). For each subarea, the number of buildable lots was chosen from a scenario that most closely approximates the level of development envisioned for the DEIS alternative. The scenarios chosen for each subarea and DEIS alternative are documented in the below. Once an appropriate development scenario is chosen for each of the subareas under the different DEIS alternatives, the number of buildable lots can be totaled to arrive at the total number of buildable lots within the City for each alternative. This figure is multiplied by the estimated household size at the end of the 20 year planning period (i.e., 2.232) to give the number of additional residents. Adding the number of additional residents to the existing population of 7,940 produces the estimated population holding capacity for each DEIS alternative. For DEIS alternatives #2 and #3, which anticipate a possible expansion of the Port Townsend UGA into the Glen Cove area, the number of buildable lots within the potential unincorporated portion of the UGA was added to the City's total number of buildable lots. Assumptions for Each Alternative by Subarea Note: Assumptions for each subarea exclude the following environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs): wetlands; fish & wildlife habitat areas; landslide hazard areas; and drainage corridors.

D. Hovee & Company, LLC Economic and Development Services Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 361 of 510 AT-A-GLANCE SUMMARY This assessment report addresses projected housing needs over the 2016-36 time frame for the City of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan update. Based on population projections for the City, an estimated 1,369 net new housing units are expected to be needed over the next 20 years. As of 2015, Port Townsend has over 5,300 housing units, of which 75%are single-family residences. An estimated 693 units (13% of the total) target low and moderate income households with some form of financial assistance. Since 2000,close to 1,100 units have been added to the city's housing inventory. In recent years,the mix of housing has shifted to a lower proportion of year-round owner-occupied housing, more rentals, and more units used on a seasonal basis by individuals for whom Port Townsend is not a primary residence. Home values are rising again, back to about pre-recession levels. Rentals are reported at near 100%occupancy—with more demand for rate and affordable units than supply. Demographic and economic factors affecting housing demand include slower than previously anticipated population growth, shrinking household size, continued aging of the population, more single-person households, weak employment not yet recovered to pre-recession levels, and high dependence of residents on non-wage sources of income. An estimated 52%of Port Townsend renters and 39%of homeowners are housing cost-burdened,a virtual doubling of the proportion of cost- burdened households since 1990. With a household size-adjusted build-out capacity of 23,000 residents, Port Townsend has nearly double the residentially zoned land needed to accommodate projected population of 12,165 residents as of 2036. However, the allocation of raw land does not appear to be adequate to meet needs for sites with infrastructure and higher density housing. Continuation of recent development patterns with more seasonal and retirement housing runs counter to City policy; alternatively the City might actively seek to reduce seasonal demand, creating more housing options for year-round, working-age and special needs residents. While this housing needs update has been reviewed for GMA and countywide planning policy (CPP) consistency, a clear conclusion is that more active City involvement in housing policy and delivery will be required if current trends are to be reversed. Recommended next steps are focused on housing element refinement and adoption with Port Townsend's 2016 Comprehensive Plan update. Plan adoption may also serve as the springboard to authorize an immediate 1-2 year work plan—focused on public-private engagement, an updated housing buildable lands inventory(BLI), zoning map revisions, and creating an community housing land trust with capacity to fund and meet a full range of affordable housing needs for Port Townsend residents in perpetuity.

With this 2016 plan revision,the City is required to provide an updated inventory and analysis of housing needs over the upcoming 20-year planning period from 2016-36. Over the two decades since adoption of the City's current Comprehensive Plan in 1996, significant changes have occurred both nationally and locally that will affect housing needs for Port Townsend residents over the next 20 years: • Nationally, a housing crisis was experienced through the Great Recession of 2007-2009 leading to increased foreclosures of owner-occupied and, in some cases, renter-occupied housing. • The recession was followed by national monetary policy aimed to stimulate economy recovery including unprecedented low interest rates, but with credit availability more challenging for a greater share of persons seeking residential financing. • Jefferson County has been more severely affected by job loss and has still not recovered to pre- recession levels, raising issues of declining affordability to a larger segment of the community's low and moderate income population. • Even before and extending beyond the recession, Port Townsend's housing market has been affected by increasing retiree and tourism activity, which has pushed housing prices and rental rates above what is affordable for an ever-greater share of the city's population. • Finally, population growth locally has slowed to levels well below what was previously forecast, meaning that the focus of Port Townsend housing strategies is shifting from needs for added residential land to securing a better balance of the existing and prospective housing inventory to more effectively serve the full range of local housing needs—especially for affordable housing. Looking forward, planning for adequate housing requires an updated understanding of both economic and housing market conditions together with changing demographic trends and household characteristics.With this plan update, greater attention is given to the need for a more diverse housing stock—extending beyond traditional single-family homes to encourage more cottage housing, accessory dwelling units, duplexes,triplexes, townhomes, apartment buildings, and group accommodations for special needs populations and to consider new housing types (as with tiny homes and micro-units). OVERVIEW III II II r II IIS II Ilf) Giiwwriii°°I A major driver of local jurisdiction comprehensive planning lies with the rate of population growth expected. Perhaps the largest surprise of the last two decades was the degree to which Port Townsend's population growth slowed to well below forecast levels. The 1996 Comprehensive Plan originally envisioned population that would be increasing at 2.5% per year, amended in 2005 down to 1.97% per year. Actual growth experienced has averaged only 0.66% annually from 1996-2015. City and County planning staff have prepared an updated and reduced growth forecast, adopted in 2015.The current anticipated population for the year 2036(12,165) is lower than was forecast in the current Plan for 2024(13,329). Accordingly, this updated inventory and analysis reflects lower aggregate Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 1 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 364 of 510 housing demand than the current plan. Due to lower overall housing demand, a simplified inventory format appears justified,with less emphasis on potential needs for urban growth area (UGA) expansion. However, the City has identified new priorities for a more balanced housing inventory to be addressed with this update. Redistributing previously designated, but as yet unbuilt, residential land will be important to better achieve needs for greater housing density and affordability at locations more readily served with infrastructure and fewer environmental constraints. ClI� ISP I 11AINCIE This housing element is prepared in compliance with applicable statutory Growth Management Act requirements and current Countywide Planning Policy. GMA Requirements. Adopted as the Growth Management Act (GMA) by the 1990 Legislature with RCW 36.70A, the statewide planning goal for housing is to: Encourage the availability of affordable housing 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. The housing goal described in the Growth Management Act asserts three separate but equal subparts: 1) encouraging the availability of affordable housing to all segments of the population of the state, 2) promoting a variety of residential densities and housing types, and 3) encouraging the preservation of existing neighborhoods. While GMA requires local comprehensive plans to include a housing element, a detailed format for documentation is not specified. What is required is that the community's housing element contains, at a minimum, the following features: • An inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected growth • A statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including single-family residences • Identification of sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to, government-assisted housing, housing for low income families, manufactured housing, multi-family housing, and group homes and foster care facilities • Adequate provisions for existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community Countywide Planning Policy. A Countywide Planning Policy (CPP)was adopted in 1992 by the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County to provide overall direction for the development of GMA comprehensive plans. Policy#6 addresses the provision of affordable housing including: • Definition of affordable housing (subsequently amended as noted below) • Priority for provision of affordable housing through private sector,together with non-profit and quasi-public, entities • Assessment of land available to assure adequacy, including for special purpose housing Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 2 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 365 of 510 • Zoning of land to accommodate a "wide range of housing types, densities and mixtures" • Preparation of an affordable housing strategy as part of comprehensive plan housing elements • Fair share accommodation of housing affordable to low and moderate households in each UGA • Consideration of designating undeveloped land owned by public entities for low income housing • Location of higher density residential areas near public and commercial services, arterials or within walking distance of transit The only CPP change made to date has been a 1994 revision to the definition of affordable housing to comply with the Washington Housing Policy Act of 1993, which states that "residential housing that is rented or owned by a person or household whose monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the household's monthly income."'This is the definition of affordability applied for consideration with the 2016 plan update. 1 II ISI,,,, 1 �10011HING QUESTIONS & ISSUEs To Air.xic)IIRESS In addition to addressing compliance with GMA and the CPPB, this assessment addresses the following locally identified market and policy related questions regarding: • Anticipated single-family demand amid high prices relative to resident incomes • Effects of second homes and vacation rentals on housing availability and affordability • Capacity of new product types, as with ADUs, to meet a larger share of affordable housing needs • Need for expanded affordable housing options—for low income, senior and homeless residents • Recommendation of potential revisions to the Comprehensive Plan for affordable housing IIS II IIS III°°I 'ro AINA11,,,YS11SI The approach taken is to build on and update existing housing related analyses conducted in Port Townsend and Jefferson County—including a review of documents as noted with Appendix A.Additional information has been obtained via interview contacts with key public, non-profit and private partners.2 Statistical data and other information for this housing assessment has been compiled from readily available sources—including published public agency sources of the U.S. Census Bureau, departments of the State of Washington, city and non-profit organizations active with Port Townsend area housing, and proprietary national sources such as Nielsen (formerly Claritas).3 Specific notes as to data sources and 1 This changed the planning policy's previous figure of 36%of a household's monthly income.The change in definition was enacted jointly by County Resolution No. 112-94 and City Resolution No.94-128. z Information for this housing element inventory and needs assessment has been compiled from sources generally deemed to be reliable. However,accuracy of information obtained from third party sources is not guaranteed and information is subject to revision without notice. Findings and recommendations are those of the authors and should not be construed as representing the opinion of any other party prior to their express approval,whether in whole or in part. 3 Where there is a choice of data source,the most current and/or comprehensive sources are generally preferred. For example, Nielsen provides demographic estimates as of 2015 while the U.S.Census Bureau's American Community Survey's estimates currently represent an average spanning from 2009-13.

Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 4 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 367 of 510 L, INVENT00"IRY., TRENDS & DEMAND This report begins with a review of Port Townsend's housing inventory, trends and demand.Topics covered with this inventory also include trends related to housing tenure and vacancy, and emerging trends associated with Port Townsend as a changing community. Specifically considered with this inventory are housing types and sizes, residential building permit trends, planned residential densities, and special needs housing. Housing Types & Sizes As of 2015, there are approximately 5,300 housing units in the city of Port Townsend. Single-family homes constitute the majority (75%) of the units, an incrementally lower proportionate share of the citywide housing inventory than indicated with 1990 U.S. Census data utilized in the in the 1996 Housing Element:Draft Plan & EIS. Multi-family housing complexes of 2 or more units have increased since the 1990 inventory, up from 17%to 21%of the overall citywide housing stock.The relative proportions of single-family and multi- family housing units have changed from 1990, principally due to the construction of a number of multi- family dwelling units following adoption of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and zoning. Multi-family housing units have increased substantially(+552 units, or by over 100%)over the period of 1990 to 2015. Single-family units have increased during the same period as well (+1,493 units), an increase of close to 60%.The more rapid percentage increase in multi-family units suggests that up- zoning and more flexible development standards helped to address the chronic shortage of modestly priced housing identified by the City in the mid-1990s. However, this updated 2015 assessment indicates that the multi-family residential is still lagging behind changing patterns of housing demand.

With this assessment, it is also useful to compare the city of Port Townsend's housing inventory with the mix of housing county and statewide. Both Jefferson County and Port Townsend (as the only incorporated city in the county) have a similar, approximately three-quarters share of all housing units that are comprised of single-family residences. Of the remaining quarter, Port Townsend has a higher proportion of plex and multi-family units, while the county has a larger proportion of mobile (including manufactured) homes. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 5 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 368 of 510 In comparison to the entire state of Washington, Port Townsend has a higher proportion of single-family homes and duplexes. In contrast, Port Townsend's share of larger plex and multi-family housing is below the overall statewide percentage,though higher than countywide. Comparison with statewide numbers is useful as one indicator of a continued multi-family housing shortfall. Based on more detailed information from the 2009-13/5-Year American Community Survey, the median number of rooms per unit is 4.9 in Port Townsend and 5.5 statewide. Over 26%of housing in Port Townsend comprises relatively small units of 1 bedroom or less, as compared with 15%statewide. Only 0.4%of housing units citywide average more than one occupant per room and no units reported more than 1.5 occupants per room.This compares with 2.1%of housing units statewide with more than one occupant per room and 0.8% units with more than 1.5 occupants per room. Despite substantial housing demand, there appears to be little evidence of housing overcrowding in available units to date. Recent Development In the seven years from 2008 through 2014, building permit data for Port Townsend indicates that over 240 units were approved for construction.The overwhelming majority of new development(more than 200 units or 83%of all new housing) was comprised of single-family units.The remaining 17%of added housing stock consisted of 23 accessory dwelling units (ADUs), three duplex and 16 apartment units. Total valuation of permitted new units over this time period adds up to over$35 million. For the period 2008-2014, an average of 29 single-family units has been permitted per year with an average annual value of$4.6 million, equating to just under$162,000 per unit. Over this seven-year time period, the most permits were issued for single-family units in the years 2009, with delayed effects of the recession clearly evident by 2010-11. Permit data for 2014 indicates that the market appears to have recovered to pre-recession levels, at least in terms of unit construction and valuation—albeit with no readily apparent recovery to date for multi-family housing development.4 Port Townsend Building Permits Issued (2008-2014) Accessory Single-family - - Total valuationx Multi-familyYear Units valuation 2008 32 $5,403,043 6 $342,927 1 $266,266 $6,012,236 2009 34 $5,353,126 4 $149,739 12 2 $411,814 $5,914,679 2010 28 $3,609,993 1 $62,500 $3,672,493 2011 20 $2,797,300 2 $87,450 1 $244,400 4 1 $187,650 $3,316,800 2012 1 24 $4,539,427 4 $148,430 $4,687,857 2013 29 $4,670,230 3 $200,000 1 $274,000 $5,144,230 2014 34 $6,174,720 3 $103,080 $6,277,800 Totals 201 $32,547,839 23 $1,094,126 3 $784,666 16 3 $599,464 $35,026,095 Avg/Yr 29 1 $4,649,6911 3 1 $156,304 <1 $112,095 2 <1 1 $85,6381 $5,003,728 Note:As indicated by City records,duplexes are recorded based on structures,equating to six residential units. Source: City of Port Townsend. Earlier year data is not readily available in the reporting format used for 2008-14. 4 Permit values are typically below market values of housing. Permit values cover hard costs of construction and typically do not include cost of land or soft costs such as design costs,development fees,and construction interest. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 6 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 369 of 510 ADU construction also has been permitted consistently throughout the 2008-14 time frame, totaling 23 units valued at$1.1 million over seven years. ADU permits have averaged over 3 per year with typical permit valuation at close to$48,000 per ADU. In 2008, 6 ADUs were permitted—reflecting a level of activity not yet again reached since the recession. Building permit issuance for duplex/multi-family units has occurred more sporadically over the 2008-14 time period, averaging less than 1 duplex unit and just over 2 multi-family units per year. Permit valuation averages nearly$262,000 per duplex (i.e., $131,000/housing unit)for construction versus just under$37,000 per apartment unit. Widely differing per unit costs provides a clear indication of the variability and importance of multiple price points in the Port Townsend market. Multi-family development represents the most cost effective means of housing delivery in terms of unit affordability.Additional multi-family construction will be of particular importance in the years ahead, to better address needs for affordable and special needs housing. Over this seven-year time period, the most active year was in 2009—with 2 buildings totaling 12 multi- family units for over$400,000. In 2010, 2012, and 2014, no permits were issued for duplex or multi- family units. At an average of 35 new housing units permitted annually, Port Townsend's constructed housing inventory has increased at a rate averaging about 0.7% per year from 2008-14.This is slightly below the rate of population increase averaging 0.8%annually over the same time period. It appears that residential construction generally kept pace with population growth through the recession and subsequent economic recovery(2008-2014). However, longer term data (provided with the next section of this report) indicates that the rate of housing construction will need to pick up in order to meet projected population growth due to the continued decline of average household size and the increase in seasonal units as a proportion of the total housing inventory. Residential Densities With this inventory process, no detailed information is available regarding the densities of development experienced. However, Port Townsend's current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code do include designations for all of the housing types for which development has occurred. Port Townsend's Zoning Code includes four residential zones together with two mixed-use zones and two commercial zones that include provisions for housing. Land area associated with each zone together with information regarding allowed densities is provided by the summary chart on the following page. Taken together, Port Townsend has an estimated 2,435 acres that include land area usable for housing. Of this amount, an estimated 2,082 acres (over 85%) are comprised of single-family districts, with 191 acres (8%) zoned for medium and high density residential, and 162 acres (7%) allowing residential within mixed-use or commercial zoning districts.

Special Needs Housing An important component of the city's housing element is to address special needs housing. As defined by the State of Washington Housing Planning Guidebook for GMA compliance: Special needs housing includes group homes, nursing homes, assisted-care facilities, in-house care facilities or other types of social/healthcare facilities. Special needs housing includes those who are not able to live independently in traditional housing. It includes those who may not have an income sufficient to obtain housing without assistance. GMA requires the housing element identify sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to, government-assisted housing, housing for low income families, manufactured housing, multi- family housing, and group homes and foster care facilities. Categories of special needs housing that have been identified and inventoried for Port Townsend include group quarters, financially assisted housing, and emergency/transitional housing as for homeless individuals and families.These categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, persons in group quarters may also be in financially assisted and/or emergency/transitional housing. Group Quarters. Group quarters, such as nursing homes, correctional institutions, or living quarters for people who are disabled, homeless, or in recovery from addictions are not included in the count of total households. As of 2015, there are an estimated 4,659 Port Townsend households plus an additional estimated 114 residents (or 1.2%of all residents) living in group quarters. As a share of Port Townsend's population, this represents a 0.3% point decrease from the percentage reported in the 2000 Census. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 8 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 371 of 510 Financially Assisted Housing. The City of Port Townsend has compiled an inventory of financially assisted housing. As of December 2015, an estimated 693 housing units in Port Townsend target low and moderate income individuals and families with some form of financial assistance—whether made directly to the tenants or in the form of reduced rents as a result of financial incentives to property owners or developers to cut the cost of new unit construction or rehabilitation.

Source: City of Port Townsend,OIyCAP,and Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County. In Port Townsend, financially assisted housing includes: • 480 units for which construction was financed through programs including project-based Section 8, federal low-income housing tax credits, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Washington State Housing Finance Commission bonding. • 137 Section 8 vouchers provided by the Peninsula Housing Authority to Port Townsend residents, a federal housing program assisting low income renters with a rental subsidy. Housing Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 9 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 372 of 510 providers report that Section 8 recipients have difficulty accessing affordable rental properties in Jefferson County/Port Townsend as the Section 8 rental limits fail to keep up with the market. • 76 other units including projects financed by non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County. Taken together,the 693 financially assisted units inventoried comprise over 13%of all housing in Port Townsend and represent a mix of single-family and multi-family housing. Compared with the entire state,it appears that the proportion of housing that is financially assisted may be above average even as the proportion of units available and affordable to low income residents is below average.' This seeming paradox likely reflects the high proportion of Port Townsend's population with incomes at or below 50%of area median income (AMI) as compared with the rest of Washington State. Also noted will be the need to maintain affordability of the existing inventory—as financing and other program stipulations that required affordability(depending on the source of funding) reach expiration. Emergency and Transitional Housing Inventory. Emergency and transitional housing facilities in Port Townsend provide temporary shelter to specific populations, including families with children, single adults, and victims of domestic violence/sexual assault.The metrics used to characterize this inventory varies by the type of housing provided—as for families or single individuals in a combination of separate units and facilities with group quarters.

An important function of emergency and transitional housing is to assist in addressing homelessness locally and regionally.A point in time count is conducted in January of each year in counties nationwide to document trends in homelessness. Counts for Jefferson County have been compiled in the report Ending Homelessness In Jefferson County WA:A Ten Year Plan by OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership. For the years 2012-14, an average of 111 individuals were counted each year, 5 The Washington State Department of Commerce published a 2015 Housing Needs Assessment. Findings indicate that statewide about 5%of all housing is subsidized,which would appear to be below the Port Townsend ratio. Another method for comparing different geographic areas in the state is presented as a quantification of affordable and available housing units for every 100 households.Statewide,51 units are affordable and available for every 100 households earning 50%or less of AMI. In comparison,there are only 32 units for every 100 households at 50%or less of AMI in Jefferson,Clallam and Kitsap Counties,33 units in Mason County,and 38 units in Grays Harbor County. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 10 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 373 of 510 including 87 adults and 24 children countywide.The report notes that recent trends indicate a decline in the overall number of homeless, but an increase in homeless children and families in recent years. TIENUIRE & VACANCY Port Townsend had 4,250 housing units identified as of the 2000 U.S. Census. By 2015,the housing inventory has increased by nearly 1,100 units to over 5,300 units—a gain of 25%. Over this same 15-year time period, Port Townsend's permanent population increased by only 13%. There appear to be two reasons for the inventory of housing to be increasing more rapidly than population over this longer 15-year economic cycle: • Reduced household size, largely related to an aging population and fewer family households. This means that more housing is required to accommodate the same population as previously. • Increase in the proportion of housing used on a seasonal basis by individuals for whom Port Townsend in not their primary residence. Overall Trends in Tenure & Vacancy The term "tenure" refers to whether and how housing is occupied. Summary categories utilized for this needs assessment are occupied units (owner or renter), and vacant units (non-seasonal or seasonal).6 6 According to the U.S.Census Bureau,vacant housing units defined as unoccupied or a secondary residence can be disaggregated to the following more detailed categories:for rent;for sale; sold, not occupied;for seasonal, recreational,or occasional use;for migratory workers;and other vacant,to cover vacant units that do not fit in the prior categories,such as units held for personal reasons by the owner.

Source: 2000 Census,2010 Census,2015 The Nielsen Company,2009-13 5-Year American Community Survey. Tracking the trends in seasonal housing in Port Townsend is of particular interest.Therefore, vacant units have been separated into non-seasonal and seasonal units. As noted above, the U.S. Census Bureau compiles data on seven subsets of vacant housing units. Seasonal units are defined as one subset, for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. Non-seasonal units are the combination of the remaining subsets. Of particular note is the share of the change that each tenure category has represented since 2000. Owner-occupied units have accounted for 32%of the unit increase;the remainder of the net change in housing units is comprised 37% by renter housing, 11% by vacant non-seasonal, and 20% by vacant seasonal housing. Based on the chart above and as further illustrated by the following pie charts, several added observations may be made with respect to the changing tenure (or occupancy) of housing in Port Townsend over the last 15 years: • Owner-occupied units have increased, but at a rate slower than with other forms of housing tenure— reducing owner occupancy from 60%to 54%of all housing units (or from 65%to 62% of occupied units) from 2000-15. • Renter-occupied housing has increased at more than double the pace of owner occupancy, with rentals changing from 32%to 33%of all units (or from 35%to nearly 38%of occupied housing) over the last 15 years. • Non-seasonal vacant units have increased at rates above owner-and rental-occupied housing, partly due to recessionary effects (indicated by 2010 vacancy rates) not yet back to 2000 levels. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 12 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 375 of 510 • Seasonal vacant units have increased by more than 2.5 times from 2000-15,with this portion of the inventory(i.e., vacation homes) rising from 3%to nearly 7% of the city's housing inventory.

With this overview in mind, it is also useful to take a closer look at trends in owner-and renter-occupied housing, together with a discussion of tourist-oriented seasonal and special needs housing.This is followed by presentation of potential forecast alternatives to meet anticipated housing needs to 2036. Owner-Occupied Housing An estimated 2,900 owner-occupied housing units are in Port Townsend as of 2015, an increase of 13.5%from 2000. As noted, the owner-occupied share of citywide occupied housing units is 62.2%, a reduced proportionate share than in 2000 at 65.2%. According to data spanning a decade through October 2015, median home values in Port Townsend historically have been and remain higher than then the rest of the state. Maintenance of high housing values has occurred even as wage levels locally slip further behind the rest of Washington State. It is noted that the gap between city and statewide values has narrowed over the past year.The October 2015 median home value in Port Townsend is $290,800, only$1,000 more than the Washington state median value.This suggests that, despite some recovery in local housing prices,the ability to support housing values predicated on non-local incomes likely will be more challenging, unless locally generated income opportunities improve in the years ahead.

Source:Zillow.com. Over the nearly ten-year time period depicted by the foregoing chart, Port Townsend home values peaked in October 2006 at$329,800, indicating the city's housing market has not yet fully recovered from recession price drops. Overall, values over the last decade have declined by about 3%. Perhaps a metric of even greater importance is the trend in the relationship between household incomes and median home values.As shown by the graph on the following page, Port Townsend household incomes have lagged well behind those of all Washington residents relative to housing values.This affordability gap has worsened since 2000. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 14 Ordinance B54Exhibit B /\ge 377o/5/0 Median Household Income aoaPercentage of Median Home Value (2000-15) 25.076 15.076 2000, 2010 2015 Source:2OOOCensus,2O15The Nielsen Company,2OO6'1O5-YearAmerican Community Survey. As shown, median household incomes have dropped substantially relative to median home values from 2000 to 2015 for both Port Townsend and Washington state.The decline is steeper in Port Townsend, a change of nearly 10% between 2000 and 2015 versus 5% statewide.Another difference between the trends for the city and state is that the statewide incomes have regained some of their lost ground to home valuation since ZU1U—while Port Townsend incomes have continued to slip relative to home values . When the median home values in Port Townsend are evaluated in the context of affordability, housing of this value is affordable to households earning more than 120%of Area Median Income (AMI). Since 1990, housing has continued to be affordable to households at 120%or more of AMI,with the median value of homes increasing from just over$110,000 in 1990 to over$291,000 in 2015.

The lack of affordable housing to purchase by households with incomes below 120Y6 AMI was previously documented in the 1996 Housing Element and remains a challenge. A section later in this report titled housing costs relative to income offers additional detail. Renter-Occupied Housing From 2000'15, renter-occupied housing units experienced growth of 29.1%, more than double the percentage change growth ofovxner'occupied units over the same time period.The nearly 1,800 renter- Port Townsend Housing Element: enter'Portrownsend*ovsingBement Inventory&Needs Assessment + Page 15 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 378 of 510 occupied units in 2015 account for 37.8%of the occupied housing units citywide, a higher percentage share than in 2000 at 34.8%. Recent rental and vacancy rate trend data have been compiled from ACS.The median contract rents in Port Townsend increased 4.8%from 2010-2013,with the highest median rent calculated in 2011 of$727 per month, then dropping in the following two years. Somewhat surprisingly, reported vacancy rates for rental units also increased, from a low in 2011 and 2012 of 1.4%toahigh of 2.6% in 2013.

Source: 5-Year American Community Surveys(ACS). While the highest reported vacancy rate since 2010 is 2.6% (as indicated for 2013),this still translates to a rental market with little vacancy and probability for further increasing rents.A vacancy rate of 5% is generally assumed to indicate a healthy rental market,with a balance in supply and demand. Vacancy of less than 5% indicates that demand exceeds supply. Based on discussions with area property management and real estate firms, vacancy rates as of year- end 2015 have again dropped. Securing rentals is has become a more pressing challenge in a market where there is more reported demand for both market rate and affordable units than available supply. Property managers report that reduced vacancy is occurring not only in Port Townsend and Jefferson County, but also in neighboring Clallam and Kitsap Counties. Reported rates currently appear to be well below the 2.6% overall rental vacancy rate indicated for 2013 with the most recent ACS data. Accessory Dwelling Units In June 2012,the City of Port Townsend surveyed 153 property owners for which there were records of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their property. Note: Permit data indicates that about 10 additional ADUs have been added from 2012-14,for a 2014 inventory of approximately 163 ADUs. The 106 respondents to the 2012 survey offered an insightful look at the ways in which Port Townsend ADUs are currently used: • Of respondents, 35% representing 37 units indicated that ADUs were rented for less than $800 per month (which would be between 60-80%of Area Median Income (AMI)for a 1-person household) • 7%were rented for more than $800 per month—for a cumulative total of 42%of units rented • Another 42%of units were indicated as not being rented • An additional 5% indicated that the ADU is either used for a different purpose, such as shop, office, duplex, or converted into a portion of the house • 9%of ADUs permitted were not built and 2% involved return of a survey postcard as an invalid address Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 16 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 379 of 510 Based on the results of the survey, it appears that when used for residential purposes, ADUs can serve as a potentially significant market-based resource for affordable housing(without public financial incentives required). However, less than half of the ADU inventory is actually being used for rental housing, meaning that the potential opportunity for ADUs to serve as an even more significant housing resource has yet to be fully realized. Tourist-Oriented / Seasonal Housing Transient accommodations permitted through the City of Port Townsend total 50 properties. While considered to be commercial uses, the City's inventory provides for categorization based on commercial or residential zoning and by availability of some units through public agencies (as at Fort Worden).

Tourist Homes and Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) in residential zones often involve relatively few rooms made available for transient lodging (tourist homes are limited to up to two rooms),while similar lodging in commercial zones is more likely to involve multiple overnight rooms. A question is whether, or to what degree, permitting of Tourist Homes and B&B uses may come at the expense of residential opportunity.This might be considered as a more substantial question for Tourist Homes and B&Bs in residential zones, as lodging in commercial zones would be competing with other commercial, as well as residential, uses. Even for Tourist Homes and B&Bs in residential zones, the existing impact on residential use would appear to be relatively minimal, as 37 properties (albeit with more rooms) represents 1-2%of housing units in Port Townsend assuming up to two rooms for a "tourist home" in a residential zone.The zoning code defines a "tourist home" as a building which provides the primary residence for the owners and which offers not more than two guestrooms for hire to transient guests for sleeping purposes only. A "bed and breakfast" provides the primary residence for the owner or operator and may provide food to its guests. It is possible that tourist-oriented and seasonal housing could become a more significant question in the future, particularly with the advent of internet based lodging, such as AirBnB and VRBO, that broadens the opportunities for more flexible lodging marketing and payment mechanisms. According to the City of Port Townsend, a snapshot of the AirBnB and VRBO websites indicate that there were approximately 27 illegal tourist homes and vacation rentals (those where the owner is not present) being advertised. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 17 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 380 of 510 This number may well increase in the future, as owners become more familiar with the internet marketing and booking platforms available. If a move toward greater tourism use occurs in the absence of a well-publicized and managed regulatory framework, the availability of housing to permanent residents could be more impaired than has been the case to date. Special Needs Housing As noted, 693 units or about 13%of all housing in Port Townsend receives some form of public financial assistance to improve affordability and/or meet other special needs.As previously noted, these needs include those of homeless or sheltered populations, as well as other government-assisted housing, housing for low income families, manufactured housing, multi-family housing, and group homes and foster care facilities. As in most communities, the ability to provide special needs housing is largely dependent on often limited public funding resources coupled with public and non-profit organizations with a mission to serve populations whose needs would otherwise go largely unmet. While this housing needs assessment does not provide a detailed review of individual programs, several observations may be made regarding critical gaps in affordable and special needs housing delivery: • Funding, particularly at the federal level from traditional HUD sources such as Section 8, is increasingly limited by federal budget issues and inadequate to meet expanding need over time. • In Washington state, the Housing Finance Commission (HFC) has come to play a pivotal role especially as a conduit for federal low-income housing tax credits and low interest bond programs, which have become a major source of funding for new construction. • Achieving adequate funding is particularly problematic for residents at less than 30%AMI and for special needs as with homeless, shelter and disabled populations—requiring funding not only for housing affordability, but often for operating costs and supportive services as well. • Countywide, the extent to which special needs populations are currently underserved is illustrated by a current 6-month to 1-year waiting list to get into any low income apartments as reported by Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) and over 150 families that are essentially homeless living in their cars or tents—as the hardest to serve population in Jefferson County. • There are a wide array of public agency and non-profit providers and supportive organizations active in Port Townsend (as detailed by Appendix B). However, they are reliant on volunteer and donated resources, as well as public funding support. Over the 20-year horizon of Port Townsend's updated Comprehensive Plan, continuation of existing programs coupled with dedication of added resources will be required to serve both a larger and older population that is also increasingly housing cost burdened. Lack of suitable employment may push more residents to lower wage jobs or outside the work force altogether. Successfully addressing these issues likely also will be dependent on increased coordination and partnering between public/non-profit partners together with incentives that draw in private sector and donated resources. 20-Year Forecast Housing Need On October 26, 2015 via Resolution No. 38-15,Jefferson County, in coordination with the City of Port Townsend, adopted the County-wide Growth Management Population Projections and allocations. The projection is based upon the medium countywide population forecast by the Washington State Office of Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 18 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 381 of 510 Financial Management (OFM). As per the resolution, the City's population is expected to grow by 2,711 new residents between 2016-2036 for a total population of 12,165 in 2036. Based on this review of existing conditions and trends coupled with recently updated population projections, it is possible to evaluate housing needs that can be expected over the 20-year time horizon of Port Townsend's updated Comprehensive Plan. Based on a household size of 1.98, the current Comprehensive Plan update process includes a projection that 1,369 residential units are expected to be needed to accommodate Port Townsend's growth through the year 2036(County Resolution 38-15). Assuming that the 1,369 figure serves as an appropriate control total for the net housing increase,there are at least two ways of thinking about how this change might be distributed by type of housing. Illustrated with this needs assessment are the following two alternatives: A) Allocation assuming a continuation of trends realized over the 2000-15 time period. B) Allocation assuming stabilization of year-round housing shares. Potential implications of these two alternative means of distributing anticipated housing development by type are each considered, in turn. A. Allocation Assuming Continuation of Current Trends (2000-75). Based on maintaining the proportionate share of the change in total units from 2000-15,the 1,369 added residential units would be 32%owner-occupied, 37% renter-occupied and 31%vacant housing units (both seasonal and non- seasonal).

D. Hovee&Company, LLC based on 2000 Census,2015 The Nielsen Company,City of Port Townsend. Advantages of this approach to forecasting housing unit allocation include consistency with observed market trends as for continued growth of owner-occupancy and seasonal units with the large cohort of baby boomers that are at or near retirement age. Disadvantages of this allocation approach are that continuation of this trend runs counter to City policy for a better balance of year-round local work force housing,together with potential continued increases in overall "vacancy"(for seasonal use) despite what otherwise appears to be strong housing demand. B. Allocation Assuming Stabilization of Year-Round. Rather than continuing trends toward an increasing share of vacant housing, including seasonal units for non-permanent residents, this alternative assumes implementation of policy objectives to increase year-round housing occupancy.

With this forecast scenario, occupied housing would return back to 90%of all housing constructed over the next 20 years—reflecting a Port Townsend housing mix last experienced in 2000. However,the mix of occupied housing would continue to shift consistent with recent trends—with owner-occupied housing representing 55-56%of year-round occupied units (or 50%of the total new inventory)and rental-occupied housing accounting for 44%of year-round occupied units (or 40%of the total new inventory). Both the owner and renter shares of new construction would be greater than with the Alternative A pattern that extrapolated 2000-15 trends forward into the future. Vacant housing would decline from over 30%of net added units (as experienced from 2000-15) back to a target of about 10%of residential units with new construction looking forward to 2016-36. Non- seasonal vacancy would drop back to a normalized level of 3.5%of the overall housing stock—close to the year 2000 figure of 3.0%. Seasonal units would drop from 20%of net added units as experienced from 2000-15 down to 6.5%of new construction, in effect, maintaining rather than continuing to increase the 2015 balance of seasonal housing as a proportion of Port Townsend total housing inventory over the next 20 years.

Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 20 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 383 of 510 Disadvantages reflect the challenges of reversing market trends, which will require generation of more family wage jobs locally and enhanced public policy and funding mechanisms to improve the sustained feasibility of work force and affordable housing over the full 20-year forecast horizon. Affordable and Special Needs Housing. Assuming the existing proportionate share of at least 13%of Port Townsend's housing inventory is financially assisted housing, a minimum of 178 added financially assisted units will be required over the 2016-36 period. To the extent that these populations are currently underserved or that the proportions of growth represented by these populations increase, the need for financially assisted units could be expected to increase accordingly. Catching up with existing unmet need—as clearly appears to be the case for low income and elderly populations—suggests priority for documenting the extent of the unmet need and then identifying measures to expedite funding for added resources, especially over the next 3-5 years. 111,,,,1AINGIING COMMUN111T Housing trends and forecast needs are set in the context of a changing Port Townsend community. This inventory and needs report turns to consideration of significant changes in population, household and socio-economic conditions.These past and emerging trends also serve to inform policy choices and implementation measures considered with the Comprehensive Plan currently in place and this plan update. Population Growth Perhaps the most noteworthy change between what was planned as compared with actual experience is with population growth—occurring at rates well below prior expectations.The 1996 Comprehensive Plan originally envisioned population that would be increasing at 2.5% per year, amended in 2005 down to 1.97% per year.Actual growth experienced has averaged only 0.66%annually from 1996-2015—a realized growth rate that proved to be only one-third of what was forecast. As a result, City and County planning staff have cooperatively prepared a reduced growth forecast for the next 20 years, adopted in 2015 (County Resolution 38-15).The current anticipated population for the year 2036 is 12,165 residents, reflecting an anticipated average annual growth rate of 1.12% per year going forward. Port Townsend's portion of the forecasted 2036 countywide population is 2,711 residents, translating to a need for an estimated 1,369 additional residential units (based on 2010 Census average household size of 1.98 persons per household). Household Characteristics Reduced rates of population growth have been accompanied by changing demographics of the population and associated household characteristics. Presented in this section is data regarding household size, age distribution, and household composition including households with children. Household Size. Census data indicates a decline in the average household size in Port Townsend from 2000 to 2010, dropping from just above 2 persons per household to below.The 2015 estimate of 1.95 persons per household continues the trend of shrinking households.Though averaging larger households than in the city,the countywide size is also trending downward, with the 2015 figure at 2.04 persons per household. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 21 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 384 of 510 Average Household Size (2000-15) 000 2010 2015 Port Townsend 2.09 1.98 1.95 Jefferson County 2.21 1 2.08 2.04 Source:2000 Census,2010 Census,2015 The Nielsen Company. Declining household size means that more housing is required to accommodate the existing population, even before considering effects of population growth. Port Townsend needs to provide 7% more housing to accommodate the 2000 Census population of 8,334 residents today than it did 15 years ago. Age of Population. Smaller households are attributable, in part, to an older population without children and more likely to live alone. Since 2000, the median age of Port Townsend residents has increased from 46.6 to 55.1 years. By comparison, the median age of Washington state residents as of 2015 is 38.1 years.According to statewide population trend data,Jefferson County has the highest percentage of the population age 65 years and over compared to all Washington state counties. Port Townsend Age Distribution (2000-15) 000 2010 2015 0-24 25.1% 21.4% 20.9% 25-44 21.8% 17.4% 17.0% 45-54 20.1% 14.8% 11.8% 55+ 33.0% 46.5% 50.3% Median Age 46.6 53.0 55.1 Source:2000 Census,2010 Census,2015 The Nielsen Company. Since 2000, the proportion of persons aged 55 and over has increased from 33%to over 50%of the population in 2015. All other age groupings now have a reduced share of the population, with the most significant decline observed for the 45-54 age group. In comparison, the percentage of adults aged 55 and over statewide has grown by 8% points during the same time period of 2000-2015 and comprises 27.4%of the total Washington state population as of 2015. An important objective of the 1996 Plan was to slow the trend towards Port Townsend becoming a retirement residential community. The Plan stressed the need to support the provision of"family- wage"jobs to allow young families to both live and work in the community. Despite the Plan's focus on maintaining small town character and achieving a better balance between jobs and housing, the undeniable demographic trend has continued in the direction of a retirement residential community. Household Composition. From 2000 to 2015, Port Townsend added more than 700 households to total nearly 4,700 households in 2015. Over this 15-year period, the composition of households has changed, most notably,with an increase of 34.4% in single-person households and 43.2% in households with an individual over 65. Households with children contracted 9.4%over the same time period.

Source:2000 Census,2010 Census,2015 The Nielsen Company,2009-13 5-Year American Community Survey. Other Factors Affecting Housing. Additional demographic data is provided with supplemental tables in Appendix D. From this review, other factors of importance to housing needs in Port Townsend include the following observations: • At 41%, Port Townsend's proportion of 1-person households is considerably higher than in Jefferson County(34%) or Washington State (28%).The city also has a comparatively low percentage of family households. • Port Townsend has a greater proportion of the adult population with a bachelor's degree or better as compared with adults county and statewide. • 59%of households in the city make less than $50,000 annually versus 55% in the county and 42%throughout the state. The city's percentage of families below poverty level is also comparatively higher than is the case countywide or statewide. • Nearly 11%of Port Townsend households do not have a vehicle, compared to 5%countywide and 7%statewide. Within the city,there are also markedly higher proportions of persons walking or biking to work or working at home. • Both Port Townsend and Jefferson County have an extraordinarily high 27%of workers characterized as self-employed versus 10%statewide. • 46%of the city's population aged 16+ is not in the labor force, below the county's 51% but substantially above the state's proportion of 35%. • 65%of Port Townsend's housing units are valued at$200,000-$500,000, while this segment accounts for 55%of the housing market in the county and 53%across Washington State. • Also of note is that Port Townsend has a high proportion of homes built either before 1940 or from 1990-2009, in comparison to the county and the state. As is most readily apparent in the comparison of incomes to median housing values, there appears to be a clear trend locally toward higher end homes—whether occupied year-round or seasonally.This trend is all the more confounding as other factors suggest greater needs for small households, lower income residents,greater lack of vehicle ownership, and lower rates of labor force participation than elsewhere in Washington State. Correcting this imbalance will depend on increasing opportunities for additional multi-family and affordable housing in the years ahead. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 23 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 386 of 510 Economic Conditions Additional conditions affecting housing need and demand include sources of income, employment, and wages.Taken together, the combination of demographic and economic data depict a community with two distinct economies—distinguished between those who receive incomes from employment locally and those reliant on non-wage sources of income. Sources of Personal Income. Due in large part personal Income Distribution (2014) to a high proportion of retirees, investment income represents the greatest share of Jefferson County personal income in Jefferson County— 0111 exceeding wage and salary income.

As of 2014,Jefferson County had 7,920 covered jobs (covered by unemployment insurance). This represents less than 0.3% of Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis(BEA). Data is available for counties and not for cities. the statewide employment base of over 3 million, as compared with Jefferson County's 0.4%of population statewide. Despite economic recovery elsewhere nationally and in Washington State,the number of covered jobs in Jefferson County remained at 4% less in 2014 than it was five years earlier in 2009. As depicted by the following graph, countywide employment peaked in 2006, declining in every subsequent year until experiencing a small rebound in 2013 leading to solid growth in 2014. From 2006- 2012,Jefferson County experienced a net loss of over 1,380 jobs—a 15%decline in total employment. Like Jefferson County,the rest of the state was affected by job loss during the recession. However, the duration of employment decline was much shorter. Statewide,job losses were experienced only over two years(from 2008-10), followed by a net gain of over 235,000 jobs in four years since 2010. In effect, Port Townsend and Jefferson County were affected more severely than most of the rest of the state during the recession, but clear signs of economic recovery are now finally apparent. Looking forward,even more robust employment growth will be necessary to support a turn-around for increased homeownership and improved housing affordability. In the absence of stronger job and Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 24 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 387 of 510 wage growth, resident demand for housing will likely continue to trend toward and increased need for affordable rental housing opportunity, particularly affordable multi-family housing.

Employment change is based on data for jobs covered by unemployment insurance. Wage Trend.The average wage in Jefferson County is well below the state. As of 2014, the average wage in Jefferson County is just above$34,500 per year, only 63%that of the statewide average. Lower wages are attributable in large part to under-representation of traded sector employment—in higher wage jobs as with manufacturing, professional and technical services. Currently,jobs are disproportionately skewed toward lower wage occupations, as in retail and accommodations (including lodging and food service). Housing Affordability Changing demographic and economic conditions coupled with factors affecting housing cost and financing all have served to impact needs for housing affordability. Considered with this assessment is the definition and measure of housing affordability, followed by discussion of housing mix and cost in relationship to affordability and forecast affordability need to 2036. Definition&Measure of Housing Affordability. As noted in with the revised Jefferson County CPP, the definition of affordability is for a household to pay no more than 30%of its income on gross housing costs. Households paying more than 30%of their income for housing are considered "cost-burdened" and may have difficulty affording necessities, such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care. To frame levels of affordability, households are characterized by their income as a percent of the countywide Area Median Income (AMI) set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 25 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 388 of 510 (HUD).Jefferson County's 2015 AMI is$65,200 for a 4-person household and is considered in percentage terms as 100%of AMI. The following table depicts applicable income limits per household size and defines: • Very low income households (with incomes at less than 30%AMI) as having annual incomes that range from less than $13,700 for a 1-person household to $40,890 for an 8-person household. • Low income households (with incomes at 30-50%AMI) may have incomes at up to $22,850 for a 1-person household. • Moderate income households (with incomes at 50-80%AMI) may have incomes at up to $36,550 for a 1-person household.

Data is available for states,counties,and large urban areas. Housing Mix& Cost in Relationship to Income. Data on all households in Port Townsend and Jefferson County according to household income is available from ACS as a 5-year average of 2009-13.This data serves as a means of determining the distribution of the existing households in the city and county into corresponding percentages of AMI. As shown by the following table, about 31%of Port Townsend's households make less than 50%AMI, compared to 26%of households at this income level countywide and 24%of households statewide. And 16%of Port Townsend households have incomes less than 30%AMI-a level that typically requires not only housing assistance but operating expense support and/or complementary supportive services. However, area median incomes for Jefferson County have increased 70%from 2000 to 2015, a significantly higher increase than the 38%change exhibited for Washington state median incomes.This increase is due, in large part, to greater reliance on non-wage sources of income. For wage earners and those dependent on public assistance, housing affordability represents a greater challenge than before.

A substantial proportion of both homeowners and renters are paying 30%or more of their income on housing and are considered housing cost burdened. An estimated 52%of Port Townsend renters and 39%of homeowners are housing cost burdened,a virtual doubling of the proportion of cost-burdened households since 1990. When comparing housing affordability for renters as a proportion of rental housing units, the renter- occupied housing in Port Townsend is less affordable than owner-occupied housing. After adjusting for renters for which data is not computed, an estimated 52%of Port Townsend renters pay 30%or more of their income for housing versus 39%of homeowners.'

Comparatively, citywide rental housing appears somewhat more affordable than are rentals across the county, since 59%of Jefferson County renter-occupied units are housing cost burdened. However, Port Townsend is somewhat less affordable than the rest of the state for renter-occupied housing—with even more of a cost-burden gap indicated for owner-occupied housing. For homeowners and renters combined, an estimated 44%of households are cost-burdened as of 2009- 13 ACS data.This is more than double the 19%share of households that were similarly cost-burdened as of the 2000 U.S. Census. ' Housing costs are not computed for 11%of renter-occupied units in Port Townsend. If these not-computed renters are distributed proportionate to the computed categories(i.e., Less than 20%,20-20%,30%or more),the percentage of renters with monthly housing costs 30%or more of income increases to an estimated 52%.This 52% figure translates to an estimated 965 renter-occupied housing units in Port Townsend that are likely housing cost burdened. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 27 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 390 of 510 Forecast Affordability Need to 2036. As outlined earlier in this report, part of the Comprehensive Plan update projects an addition of 2,711 residents needing approximately 1,369 residential housing units by the year 2036.Two alternative scenarios have been identified as providing a range of expectations for permanent, year-round renter-occupied housing: • With Alternative A,an estimated 37%(or 504 units) of those added units are anticipated to be renter-occupied. • With Alternative B,the share of net new rental units increases to 40%(or 548 units) of the 1,369 added unit need over the 2016-36 time horizon. Using the 2009-13 ACS 5-year average distribution of renter-occupied housing units by household income, the added renter-occupied units may be distributed according to the current AMI percentage distribution. In effect,an estimated 28%of the renter-occupied units added to the Port Townsend housing inventory will be needed for less than 30%AMI,followed by another 20%for households at 30%-50%AMI. AMI Distribution of Added Port Townsend Renter-Occupied Housing Units (2016-36) Added Renter-Occupied Units Alternative A Alternative (units) (percent) (u nits) (percent) Very Low Income (<30%AMI) 141 28% 153 28% Low Income (30%-50%AMI) 101 20% 109 20% Moderate Income (50%-80%AMI) 70 14% 76 14% 80%-120%AMI 42 8% 45 8% >120%AMI 151 1 30% 164 1 30% Total Added Units 504 1 100% 548 1 100% Source: E. D. Hovee&Company, LLC utilizing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,2009-13 5- Year American Community Survey AMI distribution. Based on this analysis,anticipated needs for added rental housing over the 20-year planning horizon include an additional: • 141-153 rental units for very low income households (less than 30%AMI) • 101-109 rental units for low income residents (at 30-50%AMI) • 70-76 rental units for moderate income households (at 50-80%AMI) Note that needs for housing affordable to low and moderate income renters could change from projections depending on shifts in local demographic and economic conditions. Needs for housing to serve residents at 80%or less of AMI could increase above the levels noted if population growth occurs more rapidly than now forecast, rentals as a share of total housing grow above what is indicated with the two forecast scenarios considered, and/or economic conditions continue to stagnate with relatively few family wage job opportunities. The report Ending Homelessness In Jefferson County WA:A Ten Year Plan by OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership endorses a Housing First approach to reducing and eliminating homelessness.This means greater priority given to rapid re-housing of homeless populations versus Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 28 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 391 of 510 shelters because there is little to no funding for shelters.This priority is reinforced by housing studies that have shown housing homeless people reduces community-shared expenses such as emergency room, law enforcement and corrections services. In summary, both community input and available data indicate that Port Townsend's changing demographic characteristics may impact future housing demand, including added needs for affordable housing. Residents can be expected to have changing expectations, as more individuals live alone or in non-family households.$The increase in the number of singles and older adults in the community suggests a growing need for homes with a variety of price points designed for smaller households, including accessory dwelling units. Demographic changes also likely will continue to increase demand for multi-family housing. Such housing could be provided in single-use buildings (as with townhouses, apartments and condominiums) and prospectively in buildings with horizontal (side-by-side) or vertical (stacked) mixed use development.The opportunity for mixed-use is greatest in central areas offering good transit, pedestrian character and availability for alternate modes such as biking—all of which may allow for easier access to neighborhood amenities and services, with more residents less dependent on private automobiles. 8 The proportion of non-family Port Townsend households, including those living alone, has increased from 44%of all households in 2000 to an estimated 49%in 2015,based on Census and Nielsen data. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 29 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 392 of 510 I I M' E E`T11�N G P"R"OJECTED DEMAND The 1996 adoption of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan reflected a growing sense of the need to resist the trend toward becoming a primarily tourism and retirement community. Rather, the "overriding objective" of the Plan has been to "maintain and enhance Port Townsend's special character and small town atmosphere." A supporting housing strategy has been aimed to increase housing choices and affordability for city residents. As subsequent experience has shown, prioritizing the housing needs of year-round residents has proven to represent a considerable challenge—as is most clearly indicated by the continued dramatically increasing share of seasonal homes. In many communities, the loss of land to non-resident housing and for related hospitality-related uses might suggest the need to expand the city's UGA. As the following discussion indicates, this does not appear to be the case for Port Townsend. On paper, land supply is more than adequate to meet any reasonable scenario of residential need for decades to come. VACANT' & ItEic)EVIEI,,,GIPA11111,,,1E 1lm The jurisdictions in Jefferson County are not required to prepare buildable land reports and no detailed buildable lands analysis is anticipated with the update of Port Townsend's housing element.9 To date, a buildable lands inventory has been determined as not essential for this plan update, due to what has been previously identified as a substantial surplus of residentially zoned property relative to any reasonable projection of 20-year housing need. As background documentation for the 1996 Comprehensive Plan currently in effect, a population holding capacity analysis was conducted to estimate the theoretical capacities associated with future residential development for Port Townsend.10 This analysis addressed the question of how much housing could be accommodated at the (undetermined) time of ultimate build-out of the current Port Townsend UGA. Potentially developable land areas were calculated to account for areas already developed, for land needed for public rights-of-way, and for removal of environmentally sensitive areas from the buildable inventory. Prior to Comprehensive Plan adoption, resulting Port Townsend population capacities were estimated for four plan alternatives: 9 Per RCW 36.70A.070(2)(c),only six western Washington counties(Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce,Snohomish and Thurston)are required to generate buildable land reports.These six counties contain more than 100 of the incorporated cities in the state. to Source is the Port Townsend Plans, Appendix 6 covering Population Holding Capacity Assumptions& Methodology, prepared by Watterson West Group, December 1994. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 30 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 393 of 510 Plan Alternatives Considered Prior to Current 1996 Comprehensive Plan Adoption Population Capacity Alternative - nts No Action Alternative 32,835 Existing Plans& Regulations Alternative#1 30,213 Residential Community(Dispersed Growth) Alternative#2 26,004 Community Neighborhoods(Focused Growth)—includes 1,616 population capacity of the unincorporated UGA Alternative#3 35,320 Urban Community(Concentrated Economic Growth)—includes 5,080 population capacity of the unincorporated UGA All of the alternatives evaluated in 1994 reflected existing development accommodating 7,940 residents as of 1994. Build-out figures included existing population plus potential future population growth.With the adopted plan, Alternative#2 was selected with an estimated build-out population capacity for Port Townsend of just over 26,000 residents. As household sizes have trended downward, the assumption being applied now for the 2016-36 time period is 1.98 persons per household by 2036, a figure 11% below the prior projection of 2.232 persons per household. Reduced household size means that a somewhat smaller population would be accommodated at build-out than previously anticipated with the 1994/96 planning process.The Alternative#2 capacity of about 26,000 added residents projected previously would be reduced to a population capacity of about 23,000 with updated household size projections (1.98/2.232 x 26,004 rounded = 23,068) and, conservatively, 21,600 when the unincorporated UGA is deducted. ic) 111,,,, 11,,, l c) As noted, the updated 20-year countywide population projections adopted in October 2015 reflected a total population for the (incorporated) Port Townsend UGA of 12,165 residents as of 2036.This projection equates to a 1.12%annual population growth rate, well below prior projections. Compared with a household size-adjusted build-out capacity of about 23,000 residents, it is clear that this revised population should be readily accommodated within the existing Port Townsend UGA— assuming that land zoned for residential use proves suitable and cost-effective for development. In effect, there should be nearly double the residentially zoned land as will be needed to serve the next 20 years of population growth.This indicates no apparent need for urban growth area (UGA) expansion for the updated 2016-36 planning horizon. While there will continue to be a substantial reserve of land for single-family use, a shift in the housing mix can be expected—towards more small lot, multi-family and special needs housing development.The result is that securing suitable locations for higher density housing in proximity to infrastructure and services is expected to be of greater importance with this plan update than previously. In summary, while a detailed buildable residential land inventory is not required for Port Townsend's 2016 Comprehensive Plan update, additional consideration should be given to more detailed assessment of buildable land requirements versus availability/suitability of lands for small lot and multi- family residential development.This could occur subsequent to plan adoption, particularly if concerns are expressed over site suitability to meet the growing need for affordable housing in Port Townsend. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 31 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 394 of 510 The 1996 plan also identified the need to designate at least 105 acres of additional undeveloped land for multi-family use and to "encourage the integration of multi-family housing developments in locations which are compatible with existing neighborhoods." While there are no quantitative estimates of current unmet need with this plan update, it is clear from provider input that there continues to be a shortage of smaller lot and multi-family zoned land at locations close to the urban core and served by infrastructure. Consequently, the emphasis should shift from raw land availability to assuring shovel- ready sites at higher density locations likely to be in demand for prospective developers and residents. Owner Housing Meeting the Need: Needs for owner-occupied housing can and should be distinguished Habitat for Humanity between demand for non-resident tourism/seasonal use and needs for year-round local residents: Since 1998, Habitat for Humanity has constructed • As is clear from ongoing experience, non-resident demand 31 single-family homes in can be expected to continue, driven by baby boomers both Port Townsend, for pre- and post-retirement.This retirement-driven market households at 30-60%AMI. can be expected to outbid local residents interested in Buyers need to have a reliable source of income homeownership, due to relatively higher incomes in places to repay an affordable from which retirees are relocating.

The 2015 report on Ending Homelessness In Jefferson County WA:A Ten Year Plan, prepared by OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership, prioritizes educating the community on the need to address homelessness in Port Townsend and countywide. As a result of this outreach, the community has become more engaged and is moving forward to determine "what really needs to be on the ground."The vision of OlyCAP is for a minimum of 35 new units built and occupied within the next 3-5 years. Similarly, while added Section 8 housing is constrained by federal funding, there may be other opportunities to partner with the regional Peninsula Housing Authority, especially if suitable multi- family sites could be secured. An early project could involve renovation of the Lincoln Building adjoining Port Townsend High School for 40-45 units of affordable workforce housing (at up to 60%AMI).

A brief listing of City policies and implementation steps taken to support affordable housing includes: • Incentives—including fee deferrals/waivers, density bonuses, reduced parking requirements for senior/disabled and multi-family units, also more permissive requirements for ADUs • Housing Trust Fund—earmarking a portion of property tax revenues for affordable housing • City Land for Eligible Affordable Housing Projects—including inventorying City-owned properties and prioritizing surplus lands for affordable housing • Allowing a Variety of Housing Types& Densities—including manufactured homes, 2-4 plex units in single-family zone areas, ADUs, upper-story apartments in mixed-use and commercial zoning districts, cottage housing, clustering, and planned unit developments • Public Infrastructure—albeit with limited resources to strategically invest in public infrastructure improvements that support desired multi-family and employment development • Promotion of Family Wage Jobs—as via tax exemption for new and expanding manufacturing businesses • Obtaining Grants—in partnership with affordable and special needs housing • Provision of Adequate Land Supply—including added multi-family land together with new mixed-use centers adopted with the 1996 Comprehensive Plan Even with these steps,the City continues to experience difficulty in fully addressing the needs in Port Townsend for affordable housing. As a smaller city, Port Townsend does not automatically receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds but must compete with other communities— limiting funding realistically available to support affordable housing development. The City has also attempted measures that"did not pan out"—including inclusionary zoning and stock plans. In both cases,the relatively small size of housing projects locally have made design of an easily understood and implementable program more difficult to achieve. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 35 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 398 of 510 IV., SUMMAORY & NEXTSTEPS This Port Townsend housing inventory and needs assessment concludes with a review of the relationship to State of Washington GMA and Jefferson County CPP requirements, associated assumptions and uncertainties CONSIS"TIENCYit r iii,,,,i GMA R1111 As noted at the outset, GMA offers considerable flexibility for local jurisdiction housing elements, subject to four minimum requirements, addressed by this assessment report as follows: A) Meeting Growth Needs The inventory and needs assessment builds from and is consistent with the adopted 2016-36 population and housing forecast allocations for Port Townsend. As with the current adopted plan,this updated assessment confirms that housing demand associated with updated population projections can be accommodated within the existing UGA over the next 20 years from 2016-36. At the same time, the assessment recognizes that actual growth may come in above or below projection and, further, that the mix of housing by tenure and income may well vary from what has been experienced in the past. This is a reason that this report also recommends monitoring outcomes and future updating, as needed. B) Supportive Public Policy This updated inventory and needs assessment confirms the continued applicability of the current 1996- adopted Comprehensive Plan goals, policies and implementing strategies—including Policies 9.01-9.16 for residential lands with Port Townsend's current plan, as amended July 2012. Rather than wholesale change,what is recommended are plan and policy refinements aimed to facilitate more effective implementation in the years ahead. C) Adequacy of Land Base Port Townsend continues to show a supply of residentially zoned vacant land that exceeds the projection of total acreage needed over a 20-year planning period—both from 1996 to present and looking forward to the next 20 years from 2016-36. In large part, this is in part due to lower actual population growth since 1996 than projected. However, there is growing evidence that the allocation of land supply is inadequate to meet current and projected needs—especially for higher density sites with infrastructure. D) Addressing All Economic Segments of the Community As with the 1996 plan, this updated assessment addresses the full spectrum of Port Townsend housing demand—for ownership and rental markets, for residents and non-residents, and for special needs and low income populations. What is apparent from this review is the need to take even more aggressive action in the years ahead, to more effectively address continuing issues of housing availability and affordability. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 36 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 399 of 510 IIII° IIII° CGINS11STIENCY This updated housing inventory and needs assessment has also been reviewed for consistency with Countywide Planning Policies (CPPB)for the provision of affordable housing. Eight policy statements are currently included as part of CPP Policy#6—Policy on the Provision of Affordable Housing as adopted in 1992. What follows are the 1992 CPPB together with discussion of anticipated policy consistency with this housing element update. 1. For planning purposes,the definition of"affordable housing"is: Those housing units available for purchase or rent to individuals or families with a gross income between the federally recognized poverty level and the median income for working families in Jefferson County; and who's costs,including utilities,would not exceed 36%of gross income. Discussion:This CPP was modified by County and City Resolution in 1994 to comply with the Washington Housing Policy act definition of"affordable housing" which states, residential housing that is rented or owned by a person or household whose monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the household's monthly income. (This changed the planning policy's previous figure of 36%).This updated housing inventory and needs assessment utilizes the current 30%of AMI definition. 2. The provision of affordable housing is acknowledged as a general public need and will be addressed in Jefferson County through private sector programs and projects. Local government should not assume a direct role in the ownership or administration of public assisted housing to meet low income needs, rather this should be left to private, non-profit or quasi-public entities. Discussion:Affordable housing in Port Townsend is currently delivered through a mix of private, non-profit and quasi-public entities. 3. The housing and/or land use elements of comprehensive plans will include an assessment of land available and the process of siting special purpose housing(such as homeless shelters, group homes,etc.)to ensure that such housing can be accommodated. Discussion:This updated element includes an assessment of affordable and special needs housing, including the 2015 prepared ten-year plan for Ending Homelessness in Jefferson County WA. 4. A sufficient quantity of land will be appropriately zoned or designated to accommodate a wide range of housing types,densities and mixtures. Multi-family housing should only be located within UGAs or rural centers. Discussion:With this housing element update, the City is adopting the population and housing allocation targets for Port Townsend consistent with Jefferson County Resolution No. 38-15.This assessment concludes that there remains more residential land capacity than will be needed to accommodate projected housing growth from 2016-36. 5. An affordable housing strategy will be developed as part of the housing element of the comprehensive plan.This affordable housing strategy will examine existing regulations and policies to identify opportunities to encourage the provision of affordable housing Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 37 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 400 of 510 mechanisms such as accessory dwelling units("mother-in-law")or efficiency apartments, density bonuses, mitigation fees waivers, priority permit processing,and the like. Discussion:The housing element identifies eight housing strategies that represent priorities to address the full range of availability and affordability needs. 6. Each UGA shall accommodate its fair share of housing affordable to low and moderate income households according to its percentage share of the county population and by promoting a balanced mix of diverse housing types. Discussion:The City remains committed to addressing low and moderate income household needs. As low and moderate numerical shares were not specified with adopted Jefferson County Resolution 38-15,further discussion is suggested between the City and County to determine appropriate numerical share targets for each jurisdiction. 7. Undeveloped land owned by public entities will be inventoried and those that are appropriately located should be considered for development of low income housing. Consideration of assembling these parcels for development by non-profit housing organizations or private developers shall be encouraged. Discussion:The City has prepared and maintains an inventory of City owned properties which may be suitable for affordable housing. (City Resolutions 09-035, 10-024, 11-018, and 15-018). *** Policies regarding surplus of city land have been amended to prioritize affordable housing (Ordinance 3055). 8. The housing element will include criteria for locating higher density residential areas near public facilities and services,commercial services,arterial or within walking distance of jobs or transit. Discussion: Existing policies include criterial for the location of higher density residential (Policy 1.3, Goal 7 and associated policies) Assumed with this assessment is the applicability of the new lowered population and housing growth forecasts for Port Townsend and Jefferson County.Also assumed is continuation of observed demographic and economic trends, both regionally and locally. Key uncertainties relate, in part, to these assumptions. Population growth and housing demand could again shift and proceed off-forecast.The demographic mix of the community could also change in ways not readily anticipated—whether related to the mix of resident and non-resident demand, owner/renter preferences, or single/multi-family unit mix. Other uncertainties related to external factors that could affect housing in Port Townsend. Examples include prospects for continued economic growth, stable versus increased interest rates, and availability of mortgage loans. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 38 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 401 of 510 14 1EE Recommended with this housing inventory and needs assessment is an action agenda comprised of two distinct parts—starting with housing element adoption followed by immediate transition to a 1-2 year implementation work plan. Housing Element Adoption: Pivotal next steps from this point to adoption of an updated Comprehensive Plan for the City of Port Townsend are outlined to include: • Finalization of this inventory and needs assessment report—based on review and revisions to be considered involving input from representative private, non-profit and quasi-public housing industry providers and resource organizations. • As appropriate, refine housing goals, policies and strategies consistent with the findings and recommendations of this assessment—emphasizing plan elements for which implementation has not yet fully achieved previously adopted expectations of the current Comprehensive Plan and housing strategy. • Setting in place a mechanism for monitoring outcomes in cooperation with diverse public, non- profit and private stakeholders with this inventory and needs assessment to be periodically updated, at key checkpoints over the 2016-36 planning horizon. • Incorporation of this assessment and updated housing element through to adoption as part of the 2016 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan—including review through public hearings and subsequent approval actions by the Port Townsend Planning Commission and City Council. Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 39 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 402 of 510 Implementation Work Plan: Not all of the work related to strategic plan implementation can be expected to be accomplished by the time that an updated Comprehensive Plan is adopted in 2016. Rather, plan adoption can serve as a springboard for authorizing a near-term work plan, proposed to extend over the next 1-2 years. Key elements of this work plan directed and managed by City personnel are recommended to include: • Formalization of the ad hoc work group initially formed to review this needs assessment—as a longer term advisory committee to review and guide public-private initiatives for housing element implementation. • Launching and completing an updated housing buildable lands inventory(BLI)—addressing location and infrastructure priorities as needed to best leverage additional financially feasible, higher density, affordable, and special needs housing. • Considering and then adopting revisions to the City's residential and mixed use zoning map and capital facilities plan as may be needed to address BLI recommendations. • Conducting a feasibility study to assess and determine a suitable organizational structure and public-private funding mechanism for a Port Townsend or region-wide community housing land trust. • Separately and/or in conjunction with the land trust, earmarking funding for additional support to develop and sustain affordable housing in perpetuity for special needs populations including homeless and households at less than 30%AMI.

Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 43 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 406 of 510 ArrENDIX C ,-, CITY 'KOLE WHAT HAS THE CITY DONE TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING—? 1 ll Housing affordability continues to be a major issue confronting Port Townsend. So what is the City doing about it? Numerous City policies exist and have been implemented to support the development of affordable housing. Following is a brief overview: Incentives • Fee deferrals/waivers—The following fees are deferred as long as the property remains in low income status for 10 years (and then they are waived): o System development charges (SDCs), approximating $5,000 per unit, for reference, for the period 2011-2014,the City deferred SDC's twelve times($4,853 each)for a total of$58,236. o Building, development and utility connection fees (Savings of$2-2,500/home) • Density bonuses— Developers may be eligible for up to a 20 percent bonus density for projects that include a mix of housing types, utilization of townhouses, condominiums and apartments directed to providing a reasonable mix or diversity of bona fide affordable housing opportunities. • Reduced Parking requirements apply for multi-family housing developments serving senior/disabled residents. Excessive parking requirements add to the cost of housing. • More permissive parking and impervious surface limits for Accessory Dwelling Units Housing Trust Fund established Council has earmarked a portion of property tax revenues for affordable housing($10,000 annually beginning in 2015). Each year, up to$6,500 of the fund is allotted to building permit fee waivers for eligible projects.The remainder is available to advance affordable housing strategies(e.g., matching funds for grants). City land available for eligible affordable housing projects • Inventory of lands—The City has inventoried City-owned properties which may be suitable for affordable housing. Various housing providers have reviewed the list. One, a nascent community land trust, entered into a preliminary agreement to develop two of the properties. Unfortunately, the projects did not come to fruition but we remain hopeful. • Surplus lands policy prioritizes affordable housing—Affordable housing needs and opportunities shall be considered before surplusing public lands and consideration shall be given to disposing property for affordable housing needs or retaining properties in order to meet affordable housing needs. Allow a variety of housing types and densities The City strives to encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population by promoting a variety of housing types and densities including: Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 44 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 407 of 510 • Manufactured homes • Duplex/triplex and fourplexes in single-family zone • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) • Upper-story apartments in the mixed-use and commercial zoning districts • Cottage housing development • Clustering • Planned unit developments Provide infrastructure The Great Recession has weakened the ability of state and local government to fund new infrastructure and services; nevertheless, the City has made a concerted effort to strategically invest in public infrastructure improvements that support desired growth. For example: The Great Recession has weakened the ability of state and local government to fund new infrastructure and services; nevertheless, the City has made a concerted effort to strategically invest in public infrastructure improvements that support desired growth. For example: • Landes Street sidewalk improvements between 12th Street and 19th Street not only improve pedestrian safety, but also benefit adjacent properties zoned for multi-family development. Funding sources for Landes Street are TIB and Federal STPUS Department of Transportation Grant. • Howard Street Extension I project—The project includes construction of a new roadway between Sims Way and Discovery Road and roundabout at Discovery Road, installation of water, sewer, power, telephone and cable (utilities) and stormwater drainage facilities. When completed, the project will create access to undeveloped commercial and sets up the roadway for residential properties to the north of the project. Funds sources for Howard Street are Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Grant, Federal STPUS Department of Transportation Grant, Community Economic Revitalization Board Grant, and City Utility Fund. • Water Treatment Facility— How does water treatment facility benefit housing?The project includes the extension of utilities along Rainier Street north of Discovery Road (end of the Howard Street Extension I Project) to 201h Street. This area is zoned for multi-family residential development. At completion, the combination of the Howard Street Extension I Project and the Water Treatment Project will provide utilities from 6th Street and Howard Street to 20th Street, which is approximately 4,000 linear feet of utilities, thus setting the stage for development of the west side of Port Townsend. Promote family-wage jobs Jobs and Housing are inextricably tied. Without good paying jobs, we cannot afford housing. How can we remedy this imbalance? In addition to the public infrastructure investments noted above, the City is implementing economic development strategies including but not limited to: • Tax Exemption for New and Expanding Manufacturing Businesses—a qualifying manufacturing business can apply for exemption from business and occupation tax (Ordinance No 3125) Port Townsend Housing Element: Inventory&Needs Assessment ♦ Page 45 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 408 of 510 Obtain grants In partnership with affordable housing providers,the City has applied for grants to support development/acquisition of housing. For example: • 2008,The City helped Jefferson County Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Center (DV/SAP) secure $425,000 Community Development Block Grant to help construct the Dove House transitional housing project. • 2014-15 Assisted Peninsula Housing in obtaining USRDA Shop funds for seven new single- family home starts. Provide sufficient land supply Finally, in conjunction with the 1996 Comprehensive Plan,the City: • Designated significant additional land for moderate and high density multi-family development. Both multi-family zoning districts have minimum density requirements. • Designated five new mixed-use centers and increased land available for commercial and manufacturing development. Why doesn't the city build housing? Larger cities and counties(over 50,000)are entitled to federal Community Development Block Grant (CBDG)funds.Their dedicated staffs manage and direct CBDG funds into qualified housing development. However,the City of Port Townsend must compete for funds and the lack of specific projects makes any application non-competitive.While the need exist generally, our area does include pockets of affluent neighborhoods which hinders our ability to compete absent a project targeting benefiting populations. Things that did not pan out • Inclusionary Housing—This strategy works best in markets with substantial new construction and larger developments and it can be problematic to implement. Its potential impact in Port Townsend was determined to be minimal at best. • Stock Plans—This option was considered, however, it was determined that different site locations require different building designs.There is no way to anticipate all of the different conditions that might trigger the need to alter the design. More to come The City continues to explore additional strategies to promote affordable housing. Ideas currently on the table include: providing more flexibility in housing types(e.g.,tiny homes/micro-apartments); reexamining parking requirements.

When completed,the project will provide 82.5 acres of fully served, employment land including shovel-ready industrial acreage not currently available elsewhere in the Port Townsend or Jefferson County. This Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study is aimed to outline a clear strategy offering realistic prospects for improved community economic Howard Street development and vitality while also addressing CERB funding requirements. Target Industries Securing needed employment sites is pivotal for: • Craft consumer • Creating net new jobs to offset the 15%loss of employment good production experienced in Jefferson County from 2006-13, reduce rates of . Machining, unemployment which are currently one-third above the statewide manufacturing & average, and provide opportunities for improved labor force specialty trades participation. • Research, • Increasing wage levels to above the current Jefferson County median engineering & wage of$19.33 per hour(which is currently below the comparable design statewide wage rate) by targeting a mix of employment sectors which together will pay above the current median. Wholesaling 8 mail order Conceived as a multi-use work district,the Howard Street corridor also will • Business support improve options for the large base of self-employed individuals in Jefferson services County and provide substantial added tax revenue to the City, other local • Supplies & taxing jurisdictions and State of Washington. At full build-out extending over equipment up to 20 years, Howard Street can be expected to provide opportunities for up • Warehousing & to 80 businesses locating or expanding in the work district and up to 1,465 net storage added jobs—representing a nearly 19%increase in employment county-wide. • Amenities & Relocation and expansion of Mount Townsend Creamery—a regionally services recognized artisanal cheese manufacturer—represents a lead private business investment that depends on extension of Howard Street infrastructure.This investment can serve as a catalyst to facilitate follow-on investments by a range of industrial shop, high wage office, and supportive retail—including local plus destination on-site store space within manufacturing facilities. Marketing the work district as a one-of-a-kind place to do business will involve the cooperative engagement of existing players in area-wide economic development—with lead initiative via the City of Port Townsend.The district is proposed to be positioned as a place where "we speak craft"—building on the reputation of existing specialty design and manufacturing firms. Successful implementation will involve re-shaping the City's comprehensive plan and zoning framework to provide more flexibility for complementary business uses. Other pivotal elements can be expected to include drawing on the resources of local ambassadors, educational partners, and initiatives for improved workforce quality.The City will also be making a commitment to monitoring results— including mid-course corrections to address unforeseen issues or emerging opportunities as they arise.

This study is also aimed to serve as documentation for a Prospective Development Construction Program application to be submitted by the City of Port Townsend to CERB in February 2015. What follows is a summary statement of responses to the following minimum requirements that this planning study is to address for the CERB application for the Prospective Development Construction Program. a. A product market analysis linked to economic development. Detailed components of a product market analysis are provided by the Section IV Sectors and Concepts plus Section 5 Market & Financial Feasibility portions of this economic feasibility report. To summarize, the City of Port Townsend is planning a $7 million Howard Street road extension, water/sewer and regional stormwater facility improvement project. When completed, the project will provide 82.5 acres of fully served, shovel-ready industrial land that is not currently available elsewhere in the City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County. The product market analysis provided with the feasibility study is aimed to outline a clear strategy offering realistic prospects for improved community economic development and community vitality. Securing badly needed employment sites is pivotal to: • Create new jobs to offset the 15% net loss of employment experienced in Jefferson County from 2006-13, reduce rates of unemployment which are one-third above the statewide average (as of November 2014), and provide opportunities for improved labor force participation. • Increase wage levels to above the current Jefferson County median wage of$19.33 per hour (which is currently below the comparable statewide wage rate) by targeting a mix of job sectors which together will pay above the current median. Conceived as a multi-use work district, the Howard Street corridor also will improve options for the large base of self-employed individuals in Jefferson County and provide substantial added tax revenue to the City, other local taxing jurisdictions and State of Washington. At full build-out over up to 20 years, Howard Street can be expected to provide opportunities E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page ii Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 419 of 510 for up to 80 businesses locating or expanding in the work district and up to 1,465 net added jobs— representing a nearly 19% increase in employment county-wide. Relocation and expansion of Mount Townsend Creamery—a regionally recognized artisanal cheese manufacturer— represents a lead private business investment that depends on extension of Howard Street infrastructure. This investment can serve as a catalyst to facilitate follow-on investments by a range of industrial shop, high wage office, and supportive retail— including local plus destination on-site store space within artisanal manufacturing facilities. In summary, Port Townsend needs added employment and improved wage opportunity. Accommodating the job needs of Port Townsend and Jefferson County requires general (non-marine) industrial land with municipal infrastructure services not currently available elsewhere in the city or county. As the only major source of vacant and underutilized industrial land within the city limits of Port Townsend, the Howard Street work district can meet this need for shovel-ready sites when street and utility improvements are completed. b. A market strategy containing action elements linked to timelines. The market strategy is summarized by the Section VI Marketing Strategy and with greater detail provided as Appendix B to this report. Marketing the Howard Street work district as a one-of-a-kind place to do business will involve the cooperative engagement of existing players in area-wide economic development—with lead initiative via the City of Port Townsend. The work district marking strategy focuses on action elements of: 1.Positioning: defining what makes Port Townsend and the Howard Street corridor different from competitors. Key elements of market re-positioning begin with the value proposition that "we speak craft," building on the reputation of existing specialty design and manufacturing firms who have already forged unique regional and global market niches from the Port Townsend area. 2. Planning: the features and benefits that will draw people and companies to this district, and how to go about putting these in place. A pivotal premise is that the really creative places today are those that combine design, technology and production—with supporting amenities and services. Greater flexibility with local Comprehensive Plan and/or zoning revisions is anticipated to accomplish this objective. 3. Promoting: how best to get organized and reach the customer, anticipating labor and other issues before they come up. This means a lead marketing agent supported by other economic development organizations, marketing to those already familiar with Port Townsend, drawing on the resources of local ambassadors, searching for added higher education partners, and improving workforce quality. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page iii Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 420 of 510 All of these action elements will be initiated upon securing full project funding, with CERB as the remaining outstanding funding source yet to be determined. Pending receipt of CERB funding, infrastructure construction is scheduled to get underway in mid-2015. Prior to completion of the Howard Street infrastructure extension project, the City will work with its marketing partners to refine the market positioning and branding strategy. In 2016, Mt. Townsend Creamery will begin operations at its new Howard Street location, once infrastructure is completed. This "success story" will be used with collateral marketing materials and web site presence to encourage subsequent business expansion and location decisions for the Howard Street corridor. Also in 2016, the City of Port Townsend will complete the update of its Comprehensive Plan with revamped zoning to support and implement the work district concept. By 2017, the City together with its marketing partners will have all of its branding and marketing materials including ambassadors program fully in place. The City also intends to seek partnerships with education and work force partners to address critical issues of workforce availability and quality. And over a 10-year period, the City is committed to actively monitoring results, with mid-course corrections to address unforeseen issues or emerging opportunities as they arise. Business development and related marketing will extend over a period of up to the next 20 years—to achieve Howard Street work district build-out by 2035. c. Identification of targeted industries. As defined by Section IV Sectors & Concepts and then further detailed with the Section VI Marketing Strategy, targeted industries are identified as covering: • Craft consumer good production—as artisan food, fashions and furnishings. • Machining, manufacturing and specialty trades— including machining of not only wood but metals, composites and ceramics. • Research, engineering and design— both screen-and-paper including software firms. • Wholesaling and mail order—which may include an on-site showroom for destination customers. • Business support services—direct support professions like law, accounting, tax, management consulting and web design, as well as printing. • Supplies and equipment-- which sometimes become "exporters" in their own right. • Warehousing and storage— inside and outside, increasingly utilized as creative spaces for small and start-up firms operating out of inexpensive buildings with shared services. • Amenities and services—as varied as restaurants, gyms, daycare centers, banks, trade schools, hobby spaces, medical clinics, occupational therapists, and car rental agencies. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page iv Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 421 of 510 As further described by Section IV, industrial shop activity is estimated to account for 40% of the added development resulting in over one-quarter of net added jobs in the Howard Street work district. Professional/technical office may represent about 35% of space developed and just under one-half of the job total; related retail/service uses account for the remaining one-quarter of building space and employment. The combined result of this strategy will be a wage profile that exceeds the current typical worker wage in Jefferson County. d. Identification of the group responsible for implementing the marketing strategy. Describe the group's capacity to complete the responsibility. The City of Port Townsend, in partnership with the Team Jefferson Economic Development Council and the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce will jointly implement the Howard Street work district marketing strategy prepared with this economic feasibility study. Partnership opportunities also will be sought with other interested and supporting agencies including the Port of Port Townsend,Jefferson County, and State of Washington Department of Commerce. Marketing strategy coordination will be conducted through the office of the Port Townsend City Manager as a signature City initiative. The City and its marketing partners have existing staffing resources available for start-up and on-going marketing in cooperation with work district property owners, developers and brokerage firms. e. The site's appropriateness by addressing, at minimum, appropriate zoning, affect to the state or local transportation system, environmental restrictions, cultural resource review, and the site's overall adequacy to support the anticipated development upon project completion. Existing conditions for the Howard Street corridor study area are described in Section II of this report—covering a current infrastructure assessment together with a land use and zoning review. The site's adequacy to accommodate the amount of development and job creation projected is addressed by the development concept outlined by Section IV to this report. Section V covers market and financial feasibility from the perspectives of both firms and developers that would develop in the district and from the City's capacity to implement the proposed Howard Street improvement. To summarize, the Howard Street work district is: • Currently zoned for industrial and commercial activity with land use refinements expected to occur with Comprehensive Plan updating in 2016 consistent with the work district vision. • Directly served by major street arterials with proposed Howard Street extension anticipated to better serve internal district circulation and access. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page v Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 422 of 510 • Not associated with any identified environmental or cultural resource conditions that would have a material effect on development planned, assuming drainage improvements and wetland mitigation as part of the Howard Street extension project. • Anticipated to accommodate 720,000 square feet of industrial and commercial building space through an approximate 20 year build-out period at moderate densities of development—allowing opportunities for subsequent site intensification post-2035. f. A location analysis of other adequately served vacant industrial land. A location analysis of other adequately served vacant industrial land is provided as part o f Section V Market & Financial Feasibility—with discussion of industrial/commercial land availability. While there is vacant zoned industrial land in unincorporated Jefferson County, virtually none has a full range of municipal water and sewer services. Nor is provision of municipal sewer to unincorporated areas of the County encouraged under the provisions of Washington's adopted Growth Management Act (GMA). Port Townsend is the only incorporated city in Jefferson County. There are no areas within the City with an inventory of industrial land designated for general industrial use that have any significant acreage of vacant and already fully served industrial land. While zoned for industrial use (as the only area within the City having any significant inventory of vacant land), the Howard Street corridor does not yet have full availability of street, water and sewer infrastructure. These constraints will be removed with implementation of the CERB project as proposed. In summary, there is no other alternative for fully served general purpose industrial land within Jefferson County or Port Townsend except for properties within or immediately adjacent to the Howard Street work district proposed for CERB-funded infrastructure. g. Total funding for the public facilities improvements is secured or will be secured within a given time frame. Anticipated cost of the Howard Street extension project is estimated at $7 million — including street together with water, sewer and storm drainage utility infrastructure. Sources of funding are proposed to include: • CERB—$2.0 million (with $1.7 as loan and $0.3 million [15%] in grant funding). • TIB Grant - $2.3 million (already awarded). • STP Funds - $1.0 million (already awarded). • City of Port Townsend -- $1.7 million (already in hand and available). Taken together, matching funds total $5.0 million (or 71%) of City project infrastructure costs). CERB funding represents the remaining 29% needed for infrastructure completion. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page vi Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 423 of 510 In addition to City provided municipal infrastructure, the Jefferson PUD No. 1 will be responsible for communications, power and lighting infrastructure. The PUD is contributing to the project by providing conduit and utility vaults and pulling wire at no cost to the City. h. An analysis of how the project will assist local economic diversification efforts. This analysis is provided by the Sections IV Sectors & Concepts and Section VI Marketing Strategy portions of this report. Implementation of CERB-funded infrastructure will provide shovel-ready general industrial land for Port Townsend that has not been available in recent years. This land will be explicitly targeted for a combination of sectors that together will generate jobs paying above the median wage in Jefferson County. Assurance that this implementation occurs as planned will occurr through monitoring as described in Section VII Economic Outcomes pursuant to protocols to be implemented with requisite county and state agencies. Existing economic characteristics of note include the following: • Relatively small average firm size is relatively small at just seven employees per establishment—about half the statewide average. • Countywide employment that is heavily skewed to retail and service industries. • Under-representation of typically higher-wage traded sectorjobs in industrial sectors including construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and transportation —and in high wage service sectors that often includes traded sector activity such as information, finance/insurance, and professional/technical services. • A countywide all sector average annual wage of$34,500 per year that is only 65% of the statewide average—due in large part to under-representation of traded sector employment. A pivotal objective of the Howard Street work district is to better diversify the local economic base by expanding higher wage traded sector activity which is focused on firms that make products or services sold to customers regionally and globally. Key targets are industrial shop uses and higher wage office sectors including financial, technical and professional services. This will include a complement of supportive retail services due to the growing importance of amenities and services to draw lifestyle companies and workers— and to sell products manufactured on-site to destination travelers as well as serve local customers. i. Indicate the specific issues that will be addressed. Issues to be addressed by the CERB funded project are: E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page vii Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 424 of 510 • Securing shovel-ready industrial vacant land in Port Townsend that is fully served with street, water, sewer and drainage infrastructure—which otherwise is unavailable elsewhere in Port Townsend and Jefferson County. • Creating net new employment necessary to offset the 15% loss of employment in Jefferson County experienced from 2006-12, reduce rates of unemployment which are currently one-third above the statewide average, and improve labor force participation. • Increasing covered employment wage levels to above the Jefferson County median wage of$19.33 per hour (currently 12% below the statewide median) by targeting a mix of job sectors which together will pay above the current median. • Also improve economic opportunities for the self-employed who represent one-quarter of all workers in Jefferson County and who have annual incomes estimated at less than 30%that of wage and salary workers covered by unemployment insurance. The manner in which these issues are to be addressed is described throughout the economic feasibility report. j. List one or more economic outcomes that you expect from the proposed CERB project. Outcomes anticipated are integrally linked to the issues identified with item (i) as described above. These outcomes are expected to include: • Securing for the first time in recent years an inventory of shovel-ready general industrial land that allows for creation of above median wage jobs. • Creating 1,465 jobs within a work district over 20 years as part of a strategy to address as yet unrecovered job loss from the Recession and match anticipated countywide population growth both currently and over the next 20 years. • Create net new jobs which on balance provide a median wage anticipated to be at least 16% above the current Jefferson County median—and potentially up to a 24% increase if occupational job mix targets are fully achieved. • Similarly offer opportunities for improved incomes for the self-employed who represent 2% times the proportion of the work force as compared to the entire state of Washington. k. Describe the specific, quantifiable measures of the outcome(s) that will indicate success. Describe in measurable terms what you expect to be able to show as progress toward the outcome for each year before the whole outcome has been achieved. Responses to items (k)—(m) are as outlined by the Section VII Economic Outcomes portion of the economic feasibility study. Outcome targets are anticipated to occur over an approximate 20-year time frame from the date of CERB project completion. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page viii Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 425 of 510 Outcomes specified by this feasibility study are proposed as follows: • 1,465 net added jobs within the Howard Street work district. • 720,000 square feet of net new industrial and commercial space with approximately 40%for industrial shop, 35%for office and 25%for related retail/service building area. • Up to 80 new businesses locating to or expanding in the work district— including about 35 industrial shop, 25 high wage office use, and 20 related retail/service businesses. • Work district median wage that exceeds the overall Jefferson County median by an estimated 16%-24%. • Added gross business revenues of$200 million per year(in 2014-15 dollars) with associated increases in sales and B&O tax revenues consistent with rates as may be applicable in the future. • Added property valuation of$65+ million (in 2014-15 dollars) with associated increases in property tax revenues for taxable properties consistent with tax rates as may be applicable now and in the future. Development is expected to occur incrementally over an approximately 20 year period with job and revenue impacts to lag construction completion by about one year. All outcomes will be measured on a cumulative basis. On average, cumulative values are targeted to increase by about 5% each year, with year-to-year variations affected by broader regional and national economic conditions. 1. Describe what data you will collect to determine whether the outcome is being achieved. Datasets that will be collected and maintained for the geography of the Howard Street work district as a means to assess progress to desired outcomes are proposed to include: • Square footage of new building space developed • Type of use/occupancy— manufacturing, distribution, office, retail, other uses • Employment • Payroll and median wages • Incomes of self-employed county-wide (a collateral measure of interest not tied exclusively to work district outcomes) • Gross/taxable business revenue with associated sales and B&O tax revenues • Assessed valuation and property tax revenues m. Describe the data collection procedure including when data will be collected, from whom and by whom. As proposed by the Section VII Economic Outcomes portion of the economic feasibility study, the City will establish protocols that include designation of a City department with E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page ix Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 426 of 510 the overall responsibility for data collection and management together with interagency agreements involving Jefferson County and the State of Washington for data sets that are within their respective purviews. Data compilation is proposed to occur consistent with agency reporting cycles on an annual basis. The term of the data collection process is proposed to be for a period of not to exceed 10 years or as otherwise may be mutually agreed with the State of Washington / CERB program. Anticipated data collection responsibilities are outlined as follows: • City of Port Townsend Finance Department— business revenues and associated sales and B&O tax revenues. • Jefferson County Assessor and/or City of Port Townsend GIS— building square footage and valuation of new construction. • State of Washington Employment Security Department (ESD)—average and median wage for all work district employment. • U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — incomes of self-employed. City business license data might also serve as a data resource, potentially supplementing or replacing ESD data needs to the extent that detailed employment and wage data could be secured. Business revenue (compiled by the City) and covered employment and payroll information (by ESD) will need to be aggregated in a manner so as not to disclosed confidential information. All parties will be requested to provide information specific to the geographic boundaries of the work district. ESD data is proposed to be provided in the form of median hourly pay (not currently available except on a county-level for all job sectors combined but not for specific NAICS industrial sectors) as well as for average annual wages (which is currently a part of the normal ESD reporting format). n. The estimated median hourly wage of the jobs created when development occurs. A pivotal objective of this CERB infrastructure investment is to leverage economic development that will result in wages exceeding the Jefferson County median. Tracking of outcomes is proposed to be through an interagency agreement whereby WA-ESD would provide this data in a form as mutually agreed between the City, ESD and CERB. Based on analysis with this report using available ESD wage data, it is estimated that the average wage of persons employed in the Howard Street work district will be at least 16% above the current county-wide average annual wage. The increase in median hourly wage (above the current median of$19.33 per hour) could range from a minimum 16%gain to E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page x Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 427 of 510 the extent that median hourly wages correspond with increasing annual wages up to a 24% increased consistent with illustrative occupations targeted for work district employment. o. If the project is determined to be feasible, the following information must be provided within the final report: 1. Total estimated jobs created (in FTEs). Approximately 1,465 net added jobs are expected to be created in the Howard Street work district over 20 years following completion of CERB improvements. This equates to an average of 70-75 jobs added annually. 2. Describe benefits offered to employees. Benefits to employees will vary depending on the firm and are not readily ascertainable into the future, in part due to continuing and/or potential changes in state/federal legislation especially as relates to health care and retirement benefits. Benefits associated with Mt. Townsend Creamery as an up-front catalyst investment are as described with the Section IV Sectors & Concepts portion of the feasibility study. New business recruitment through the efforts of the City and Team Jefferson as the state approved associate development organization (ADO) will be focused on firms that offer benefits equal or better than the standard for their respective business or industry type. 3. Describe the median hourly wage of the new jobs in relation to the median hourly county wage.The feasibility study targets a mix of business types which combined will pay well above typical wages experienced in Jefferson County. Due to prevailing practices within its industry, the Mt. Townsend Creamery is not expected to pay above the median hourly wage in Jefferson County. However, the significance of this project is that it will leverage renewed economic development which has been essentially stalled since 2006 (before the Great Recession). The intent is for this initial bird-in-hand investment to serve as a catalyst, building momentum for other higher wage employment to follow. On a preliminary basis, using two alternative methods, it is estimated that the median wage associated with the Howard Street work district may range between 16-24% above the current county-wide median of$19.33 per hour. As the experience of each firm will vary, proposed with the CERB application is the active monitoring of the mix of business types locating in the district each year over the time frame to anticipated build- out. 4. The county three-year unemployment rate in relation to the state rate. Over the last three years for which annual average unemployment rates are known, Jefferson County seasonally unadjusted rates were at 9.9%, 9.6% and 9.0%for 2011, 2012, and 2013 respectively—averaging 9.5% over all three years. For Washington state, comparable rates were at 9.2%, 8.1% and 7.0%the—averaging 8.1% over all three years. As of November 2014 (the most recent month for which data is available), Jefferson County's unemployment rate was 8.1%, 33% above the statewide rate of 6.1%. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page A Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 428 of 510 5. County population change in the last five years. As of 2014, OFM estimates that Jefferson County has 30,700 residents. From 2009-14, countywide population has increased by 927residents, a gain of 3.1% in the last five years. 6. The estimated jobs created represent what percentage of the county's labor force. As of November 2014, State of Washington ESD data indicates that Jefferson County has a civilian labor force estimated at 11,430 persons. The 1,465 jobs targeted for creation within the Howard Street work district over 20 years represents 12.8% of the current countywide labor force. 7. The estimated jobs created represent what percentage of the county's unemployed workers. As of November 2014, ESD data indicates that there were an estimated 930 workers unemployed in Jefferson County. The 1,465 jobs created over 20 years would exceed the number of persons currently unemployed countywide (but does not include the estimated 25% of workers currently self-employed throughout the county who typically are not eligible for unemployment insurance). The 70-75 jobs created annually within the Howard Street work district represents new economic opportunity for an annual average increment equal to about 8% of the current pool of those currently on unemployment. 8. Estimated new annual state and local revenue generated by the private business. State and local sales tax on new construction is estimated at $5.8 million, received incrementally over the next 20 years as construction proceeds within the Howard Street work district. At build-out, the district is expected to generate $5.5 million per year in added state and local property, B&O and sales tax revenue. Note:All revenues are estimated in 2014-15 dollars. 9. Estimated private investment generated by project.The added value of development realized over 20 years is conservatively estimated at $65 million by build-out (in 2014-15 dollars), consistent with current Jefferson County fair market value assessments. Total private investment can be expected to exceed this amount by another 25-35% due to funding of project indirect or soft costs plus furnishings and equipment. The remainder of this economic feasibility report provides detailed analysis and documentation for the summary statements related to CERB minimum requirements as outlined above. Topics covered by the full report include a profile of the Howard Street corridor, community setting, employment sector and development concept analysis, market and financial feasibility, marketing the work district, and economic outcomes.

CERB approvals included a grant to the City of Port Townsend of$48,750 to conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the economic benefits provided by planned zoning changes and infrastructure investments to serve an employment-focused work district along Howard Street in Port Townsend. The City of Port Townsend is proposing $7 million in public infrastructure investment (including $2 million in CERB grant and loan funds) that will make 82.5 acres of vacant and underutilized employment land suitable for business investment— including provision of what will be the only fully served, shovel-ready industrial property—that currently is not available in the City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County. This Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study is aimed to outline a clear strategy offering realistic prospects for improved community economic vitality while also addressing CERB funding requirements. This economic feasibility study begins by describing the background and purpose of the study project, followed by an outline of the organization of this economic feasibility study report. PROJECT BACKGROUND & PURPOSE As the only incorporated city in Jefferson County, the economic vitality of Port Townsend is of pivotal importance not only to the city but to a county of 30,700 residents that extends from the Puget Sound across the Olympic Peninsula to the Pacific Ocean. Employment, incomes and public revenues in Jefferson County were severely affected by the Great Recession of 2007-09 and its continuing aftermath. Unlike much of the state,Jefferson County has yet to recover from the recession. The county experienced a 15% drop in employment that extended from 2006-12. Only in 2013 did recovery begin to get underway, but only barely. Current county-wide unemployment rates are 33% above the rest of the state; wages and incomes are lower. And neither Port Townsend nor Jefferson County has shovel-ready vacant industrial land —appropriately zoned with full municipal infrastructure as needed to accommodate and attract new higher wage employment. Pivotal Economic Development Role of a Howard Street Work District Creation of a Howard Street employment-focused work district represents an integral part of the community's strategy for economic recovery and future vitality. Port Townsend City Manager David Timmons has noted that: "The Howard Street/Upper Sims Way Corridor is one of three economic anchors for the City, along with Fort Worden and the Downtown Waterfront". When completed, Howard Street will be in a position to provide the shovel-ready sites that are essential for added higher wage job development to occur. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 1 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 431 of 510 The proposed Howard Street Extension project consists of grading and paving of a new roadway, installation of municipal and franchise utilities, drainage, pedestrian improvements, landscaping, and public amenities located in an undeveloped commercial corridor in Port Townsend, WA. This new roadway extension also will improve access to Discovery Road. As planned, the project also includes clearing and grading, removal of vegetation, and mitigation of roadway impacts in conjunction with an existing wetland buffer. Acquisition of right-of-way and construction staging will be located within project limits. Role of CERB Economic Feasibility Study CERB funding of this feasibility study represents an important first step in the path to local and county-wide economic recovery. As Washington's strategic economic development resource, CERB is focused on creating private sectorjobs in partnership with local governments by financing infrastructure improvements. The economic feasibility study is intended to address topics including marketing analysis and strategy, zoning and land use analysis, identify measurable economic outcomes and data collection processes along with projected employment figures. As determined to be feasible, this study is also aimed to serve as documentation for a Prospective Development Construction Program Application being submitted by the City of Port Townsend to CERB in February 2015. REPORT ORGANIZATION The remainder of this economic feasibility report is organized to cover the following topics: • The Howard Street Corridor—describing current property, infrastructure, and land use conditions • Community Setting—covering area demographics and economic profile • Sectors& Concepts—focused on target sectors and development concepts together with prospects for the Mt. Townsend Creamery identified as a catalyst for area development • Market& Financial Feasibility—as anticipated both for private and public investments • Marketing the Work District—a strategy of public-private steps consistent with this feasibility study for project positioning, planning, promotion, and related action timeline • Economic Outcomes— in terms of jobs, wages, tax revenues and tracking of outcomes Several appendices are provided with this report. AppendixA briefly profiles E. D. Hovee & Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies as report preparers.Appendix B provides the full work district marketing strategy.Appendix Ccovers supplemental data used with the analysis. The analysis and findings provided with this economic feasibility study also serve as an information resource for the response to minimum requirements of the CERB program—as provided by an up-front summary to this report. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 2 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 432 of 510 Il THE HOWARD STREET CORRIDOR This feasibility study begins with an overview profile of the Howard Street corridor— including a description and analysis of current property, infrastructure, and land use conditions. CORRIDOR STUDY AREA The planned Howard Street work district encompasses an approximately 100 acre area situated at the western end of Port Townsend within the incorporated city limits. As shown by the map on following page, the area is roughly bounded by the convergence of Sims Way and Discovery Road on the west, Discovery Road to the northwest, extending as far as 111h/121" Streets on the north, east to the vicinity of McPherson /Thomas Streets, and south of Sims Way to the edge of designated commercially and manufacturing zoning districts. The district includes property designated for manufacturing, commercial, public space and commercial/ mixed use. Adjoining residential areas to the west, north and south are not included within the corridor study area boundaries. Property Ownerships City provided GIS data indicates that the district comprises tax 109 parcels, ranging in size from well under an acre to just over 14 acres in size. Average tax parcel size is just over one acre. As depicted by the map on the following page, the number of distinct property ownerships is considerably less, at about 50 owners after accounting for multiple properties under common ownership. One owner—the Port Townsend Business Park (PTBP)— has 21 adjoining parcels under single ownership. The greatest amount of acreage under a single owner is over 18 acres (with two parcels) that comprises the large industrial /commercial area as yet undeveloped south of Sims Way and immediately west of Howard Street. Based on assessor and GIS data, 30+ acres are currently developed with on-site buildings totaling about 180,000 square feet of building area. The remaining nearly 70 acres are undeveloped. For sites that have buildings, over all intensity of development is estimated at a floor area ratio (FAR) of about 14%. This indicates a relatively low level of urban site use.

This information is provided by the chart below and the map on the following page. Based on improvements valuation,just under 78 acres is given no improvements value— whether due to no structures or with structures that add no value to the property. Many, though not all, of the sites with improvements value are clustered in or near the business park. An estimated 22+ acres do have improvements value assigned to the property, according to the City provided GIS data. Most of the land area with improvements (close to 17 acres) is relatively well improved —with structures and other site improvements assessed at a value that exceeds land value. Sites with no improvements value together with sites where improvement valuation is less than one-half of land value (i.e., I:L < 0.5) are expected to provide the greatest opportunity for added development once the Howard Street work district has full street plus municipal and franchise utility infrastructure in place. These two categories of vacant plus underdeveloped sites comprise 82.5 acres—or better than 4 of every 5 acres in the corridor study area.

Conversely, sites with no improvement value account for 78% of the district's land area but only 33% of total assessed valuation. When considered on a per square foot basis, the assessed valuation of sites with relatively high improvements valuation (I:L> 1.0) are associated with total site valuation of about $17 per square foot of land area.

This full complement ofinfrastructure is not yet in-place for the Howard Street work district. Street Infrastructure The principal street corridor serving the planned work district is Sims Way (SR ZO), running east- west as the major traffic route into Port Townsend's downtown (situated to the east of the Howard Street district). Secondary access is provided by Discovery Road (at the northwest boundary of the district)—with access to the city's residential areas via 19th and Blaine Streets. E.o.*ovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City ofPort Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study + Page 6 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 436 of 510 Major portions of the street network through the district are platted but not yet constructed to City standards. Of principal importance is the need to complete Howard Street north from 7th Street through to Discovery Road —to become the new transportation spine of this planned work district. Other streets awaiting completion are 6th, 7th, and 9th Streets, anticipated to be improved as development occurs. At the south side of the district, a new street is currently being constructed west of Howard and south of Sims Way to serve a planned commercial development. Utility Infrastructure In addition to having an as-yet incomplete street network, inadequate utility infrastructure is a second major reason that it has not been possible for the Howard Street study area to develop to date. Specific details are noted as follows: • The existing business park property is fully served by sewer, water, and storm drainage. Parcels immediately adjacent to the Sims Way/Howard Street roundabout also are served by sewer and water, as is a parcel in the far northeast corner of the study area. • The remainder (or majority portion) of this planned work district is not served at present by sewer or storm drainage. Hard pan soils are a limiting factor to building in the corridor; a regional stormwater system will allow for build-out to urban densities. • Municipal water also is not fully available. Water services are available on the perimeter of the study area — but not for most of the internal areas/parcels. • On-site stormwater management for dense commercial development in this area is very challenging (with large areas of land required for stormwater retention) due to poorly draining soils. The regional stormwater solution being considered would move the stormwater off-site, outside the study area, to an area where the soils can better infiltrate the runoff. LAND USE & ZONING REVIEW As illustrated by the following map, properties in the 100 acre study area are currently zoned pursuant to one of the four following land use designations: • Manufacturing (M-C)/49.3 acres—allowing a mix of light industrial and some commercial uses,just off the major travel corridors, either south of Sims Way or in the northeast quadrant of the study area. • Commercial (C-II)/36.3 acres—serving a wide range of general commercial uses situated on the major travel corridors of Sims Way or the west side of Howard Street. • Commercial/Mixed Use (C-II/MU)/9.7 acres—allowing for residential and commercial uses in the northwest portion of the study area as a transition to lower density residential areas immediately adjacent. • Public Open Space (P/OS)/4.9 acres—situated on the south side of Sims Way west of Howard Street.

Port Townsend has five marine-related and general manufacturing zoning districts. The M/C mixed light manufacturing and commercial districts is intended to accommodate "small-scale manufacturing businesses, along with associated and subordinate on-site retailing"— including "specialty crafts or artisans" which combine both manufacturing and retail on one site. Permitted outright are a broad range of light manufacturing and related service-industrial uses together with commercial retail and/or wholesale sales of goods manufactured on the premises. Heavier industrial uses such as building construction yards/offices, food mills, wood and metal products, seafood processing, plastics/stone/glass, and transportation equipment manufacture are not allowed. ' Unless associated with on-site manufacturing, retail and food service are generally not allowed, although small scale food services establishments such as coffee houses or restaurants without drive-thru services may be allowed on a Conditional Use basis. However the retail sales of goods or products manufactured on the premises are allowed as permitted uses.' Office uses whether for private or governmental activities are also precluded (except for "essential public facilities" as designated by the Washington State Office of Financial Management). Noted is that the Port Townsend Business Park was developed as Planned Unit Development which provides greater flexibility for up to 20% office and retail use which is no longer allowed under the current zoning code for the M/C zone.' Maximum density of development is an FAR of 2:1— meaning up to two square feet of building floor area for every one square foot of lot area. Maximum allowed building height is 35 feet. Provisions are also made for preservation of existing trees and/or new trees consistent with City Standards for Tree Conservation. Commercial (C-11). As one of four commercial zoning designations in Port Townsend, the C-II General Commercial zone accounts for more area of the city than any other commercial district and is found at various locations along Sims Way. The zone is intended to provide for a broad range of commercial retail, food service, office/service, recreational/cultural, public facility and other uses aimed to serve a "local and citywide market." Also allowed is multi-family residential above ground floor commercial. Non-commercial printing is a manufacturing uses that is permitted outright. Some food-related manufacturing also is allowed to occur outright, as with bakeries, confectionaries, artisan cheesemaking, and microbreweries— provided that on-site manufacturing is subordinate and accessory to a primary retail use. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 9 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 439 of 510 A variety of other light industrial uses maybe considered on a Conditional Use Permit basis. Excluded from this zone are residential treatment and nursing/convalescent uses, adult entertainment facilities, hospitals, lodging except hotels/motels/hostels. "Regional retail' may be permitted if the structure and use meet the definition for"regional retail' —on sites of 10-25 acres. 4 Maximum gross floor area of a commercial structure is 60,000 square feet—with a maximum of 40,000 square feet on the ground floor level. Maximum height is 40 feet if more than 2 stories and limited to no more than 3 stories. Minimum ground floor ceiling height is 12 feet if the structure is two floors or more. Commercial/Mixed Use (C-11/MU). As one of two mixed use zoning designations in Port Townsend, this district allows for a broad range of commercial uses together with upper floor multifamily units at up to 24 units per 40,000 square feet and in a manner that promotes a compact growth pattern while facilitating pedestrian access. Industrial uses are precluded as are commercial uses with major impacts including adult entertainment, formula retail (per Chapter 17.54 PTMC), and churches.'To date, development under this designation in the Howard Street area has been limited to the Creative Solutions building. Other uses such as convenience stores, marijuana retailing, microbreweries, and schools may be considered on a Conditional Use basis. Allowed density ranges up to a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 3:1; the maximum amount of commercial floor space in any one structure is 60,000 square feet. Maximum building height is two stories or 40-50 feet (depending on proximity to or inclusion of residential development). Public Open Space (P/OS). As noted, close to five acres of the Sims Way corridor is designated as Existing Parks and Open Space. Uses with structures are generally limited. Conditional Use Permit processes are in place for uses such as community centers, conference centers, museums, recreation facilities, educational institutions, government/non-profit offices. This economic feasibility analysis assumes no additional construction of employment generating uses on the subject open space property. Interim Zoning On July 7, 2014, the Port Townsend City Council adopted interim land use regulations for a portion of the study area — between 6th and 101h Streets and from Howard Street to Discovery Way. As amended in September, the ordinance provides a "refined use table to prevent non- supportive uses from developing along the corridor." Interim regulations are in place for up to six months and currently proposed to be extended another six months— pending integration of land use considerations with results of this economic feasibility study. At present, the ordinance has been extended to July 8, 2015. The initial July ordinance precluded office development within the Interim Control Area (ICA). This was amended in September 2014 to provide interim standards related to limitation of E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 10 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 440 of 510 vehicular access to the new Howard/Rainier Street alignment, restrict office development to no more than 50% of developable area within each platted block of the ICA, and address building orientation, location and parking. Within the portions of the ICA zoned for mixed use, residential developments are to have ground floor commercial use. With both the mixed use and zoning designations, several categories of retail are limited to businesses where the majority of merchandise for sale is produced on-site. Zoning Code Alternatives What is known as use-based (or Euclidean) zoning remains the predominant form of land use regulation in Washington state as well as nationally. Port Townsend's municipal code reflects a use-based approach with distinctions between residential, commercial, manufacturing and public/open space uses. Three other approaches to codification of zoning regulations are suggested for consideration. The first represents potential implementation of an existing provision of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan; the other two represent alternatives that have been utilized in recent years across the U.S., albeit in more limited fashion to date within the state of Washington:6 • Commercial Manufacturing Planned Unit Developments (CM-PUD) represents an overlay designation within the City's Comprehensive Plan that allows business and industrial park development to vary from the prescriptive standards including use mix of the current zoning code for commercial and manufacturing development. As described by the Comprehensive Plan: "The (PUD) designation is intended to promote innovative and well-designed commercial and light manufacturing developments which are supportive of the City's economic development strategy."' • Performance zoning is focused more on limiting impacts of development (such as traffic, noise, glare, odors) on neighboring properties than on the determination of which uses are to be permitted outright or conditionally. Nationally, performance zoning was first used in industrial areas to control effects such as vibration, noise, glare, or heat that reached beyond the property line. There are no Washington communities identified that have pure performance zoning and use of this tool as an overall framework for local zoning appears to be declining elsewhere across the U.S. or switching to more of a hybrid approach (combined with traditional use-based zoning).' • Form-based zoning regulated development is focused on the form, scale, and detailing of buildings, blocks and streets, often as a means of community place-making. Lists of permitted uses as a means to regulated development are minimal to non-existent. Form based zoning is most prevalent in areas with a clearly established character intended to be maintained (as with historic downtowns) or with as yet undeveloped areas being master planned or with a well articulated vision for future development—especially in non-traditional mixed use settings. Form-based codes have been used across other parts of the U.S. but have been slow to come to the Pacific Northwest. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 11 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 441 of 510 The CM-PUD approach offers the advantage of a provision that is already built into Port Townsend's Comprehensive Planning framework. Further refinement might be anticipated to better meet the economic development opportunities and challenges identified by this economic feasibility study— including needs for cost-effective and affordable industrial space, appropriate application to Howard Street commercial and/or manufacturing zones, and review of appropriate minimum lot size. Performance and form-based zoning offer the distinct advantage of avoiding traditional segregation of varied employment uses. This is important as there is demand for a greater mix of uses that may also prove to be more marketable and create more livable communities. More flexible use mechanisms also respond better to businesses that no longer conform well to traditional business distinctions (as may be classified, for example, by standard business and industrial classification listings). Both in urban neighborhoods and small communities, businesses often conduct more than one type of business activity under one roof. As is being experienced in Port Townsend, a single business may conduct a mix of manufacturing, wholesale, retail and office related functions on-site. And the mix of these functions may change overtime. A disadvantage of performance and form-based regulatory methods is that they can consume more time to formulate (often involving considerable community discussion) and then to administer. In situations where a new technique is added on to existing zoning as a hybrid ordinance (as with a zoning overlay), the complexity for the applicant may be increased and the flexibility lessened. Despite these limitations, this economic feasibility study identifies the realization of more flexible land use regulation as integral to development feasibility, facilitation of property owner plans, and the higher wage job objectives of the State of Washington's Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) funding program. Revisiting land use regulation is also anticipated as a means to replace interim zoning controls now temporarily in place with a regulatory framework that will be sustained through implementation of the Howard Street corridor vision. Zoning for Howard Street Corridor Economic Vitality Planning for the Howard Street Corridor extends back almost one decade to community workshops to help defined the Upper Sims and Howards Street Vision in 2006 and 2007. A rezone and zoning overlay approach was envisioned for implementing land use provisions of the vision. The combination of rezone and overlay provisions anticipated would also require a Comprehensive Plan amendment as well as amendment to the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC). Recent developments currently suggest three potential optional approaches for work district land use regulations to achieve employment use objectives consistent with CERB funding objectives: E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 12 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 442 of 510 • Modify the 2007 approach to process planning revisions as an overlay district only, for example with implementation of the CM-PUD concept. This might involve a PTMC amendment without the need for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The amendment process pursuant to PTMC 20.04.090 could be accomplished over an approximate 4-5 month time period. • Proceed with a more extensive process for amending the Comprehensive Plan. In most years this process would begin in March and end in September/October. However, if amendments were included as part of the 2016 GMA mandated periodic update process (per PTMC 20.04), the process could take approximately 18 months. • Proceed through an exception to the annual amendment process (based on PTMC 20.04.030(3). This exception may be considered under conditions specified as: Initial adoption or amendment to an identified subarea plan or functional plan that does not modify the comprehensive plan policies and applicable designations. Plans adopted under this subsection must clarify, supplement, or implement jurisdiction-wide comprehensive plan policies, and may only be adopted if the cumulative impacts of the proposed plan are addressed by appropriate environmental review. Sections IV and V of this economic feasibility study address the types of land use regulatory revisions that might be useful to facilitate the economic feasibility of development and job creation with implementation of CERB funded infrastructure improvements. Unclear at this time but a topic for further consideration is the question of which of the land use processes outlined above is most appropriate for the Howard Street Corridor. This draft report makes no recommendation as to a specific plan refinement process or amended regulatory mechanisms. The planning process and the specific zoning tools uses selected should support objectives for economic feasibility consistent with CERB requirements as well as provisions of Port Townsend's planning framework and associated GMA update requirements.

COMMUNITY SETTING In addition to the assessing current characteristics of the Howard Street corridor study area for which infrastructure improvements are proposed, it is useful to also understand the broader community setting. This is of particular importance for this feasibility study as the jobs created within a Howard Street work district will serve needs for added employment in Port Townsend and unincorporated Jefferson County. This discussion starts by identifying market areas of interest, followed by consideration of community demographics and economic profile of pertinent market geographies. MARKET AREAS OF INTEREST As depicted by the following map, four geographic market areas of interest are identified with and utilized with this analysis: • City of Port Townsend—as the jurisdiction in which the Howard Street Corridor project study area is located. • 98368 Zip Code—a geography that includes the City of Port Townsend together with surrounding unincorporated area. • Jefferson County—as a larger geographic area from which Port Townsend businesses draw both customers and labor force. • Washington State—as a much larger geography to compare with local and county economic performance. Geographic Setting iii aw � 1 Source: U.S. Census,Washington State Department of Transportation,and Esri. The market geographies utilized with this feasibility study vary in terms of data availability and relevance to the topic being considered. Data is typically most readily available on statewide and county levels. Some data such as employment information also is more readily obtained on a zip code basis rather than based on city jurisdictional boundaries. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 14 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 444 of 510 COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS This economic feasibility focuses on demographic information that is most useful to assess market opportunities and issues associated with creating added business, employment and higher wage opportunities for Port Townsend and area residents. Population trends and forecasts are considered, followed by pertinent demographic considerations. More detailed population and demographic data is provided with Appendix C to this report. Population Trends & Forecasts As of 2014, Port Townsend has an estimated population of 9,355 residents. This represents about 63% of the 14,900 residents of the 98368 zip code and 30% of the 30,700 residents of Jefferson County. Historic Growth Rates. As depicted by the top graph to Population Growth Rates the right, the population of Port Townsend increased by (2000-14) close to 1% per year from 2000-10, dropping to about half Port Townsend that growth rate in the last four years to 2014. From 2000-10, rates of population growth for Jefferson County and the state exceeded those of Port Townsend. Since 2010population growth has slowed appreciably for the count to about the same growth t I I�iial IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIII ....._ rate as for Port Townsend (as Jefferson County's only incorporated city). 2000.10 2010-14 As of 2014, OFM estimates that Jefferson County has Jefferson County 30,700 residents. From 2009-14, countywide population has increased by 927 residents, a gain of 3.1% in the last five years. I�lif�ll III�II��II�II�II�II� Population growth statewide has also dropped, though remaining above rates experienced locally and regionally. 2000-10 2010-14 Forecast Growth Rates. Looking forward, multiple views Washington State as to prospective population change are clearly evident: • Currently adopted Comprehensive Plans reflect population growth rates projected to average 1.97% per year from 2000-2024 for Port Townsend and a ui4 1.78% annual growth rate for Jefferson County. Neither the City nor the County has come close to 2000_10 2010.14 realizing these projected rates of growth—at least through 2014. Source: Washington State Office of Financial Management(OFM). • The City and County are anticipating update of their Comprehensive Plans in 2016 consistent with statewide Growth Management Act E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 15 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 445 of 510 (GMA) schedule requirements. This will include application of updated population growth projections. • To assist with the planning process, the State of Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM) published updated county-level population projections in 2012. Projections cover three alternative series of low, medium and high growth potential— with each county in the state required to select a growth target within this range. • For Jefferson County, final selection of an updated population growth rate is anticipated to occur as part of the Comprehensive Plan update process in 2016. • The range of potential population growth outcomes as provided by OFM prepared forecast alternatives for Jefferson County is considerable. With the medium range series project, population countywide would be expected to increase at just 1.10% per year from 2015-35—a pace of growth somewhat below the overall 1.21% average growth rate experienced from 2000-14 (but closer to what has been experienced since about the peak of the last pre-recession growth cycle) • With high growth, the pace of population growth could pick up appreciably to nearly 1.76% per year— reflecting rates of growth not experienced since 2000. With a low growth scenario, OFM projects the possibility of essentially no growth in Jefferson County over a 20-year time horizon. Understanding past and potential future population growth is important if Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend are to provide employment for residents who need wage and salary income as well as for sole proprietors. The Howard Street work district can be expected to increase business activity with associated added employment that offers opportunity not only to replace jobs lost since 2006 but also to serve employment needs associated with continuing resident population growth in the years ahead. Both job recapture and population growth needs can be served effectively with this work district up to at least the point of development build-out. As described in the next section of this feasibility study, development of this district can reasonably be expected to take up to 20 years from the time that the district is fully served with municipal infrastructure. Pending county-wide adoption of a new population growth rate target, this economic feasibility study assumes application of a 1.10% annual average population growth rate to 2035. As noted, this is consistent the current medium range OFM projection for Jefferson County that also is currently serving as a preliminary target for the Comprehensive Plan update process. An added note is that a projected 1.10%growth rate matches the average annual rate of county-wide population experienced from 2005 (prior to the Great Recession) forward to 2014. Before proceeding with more detailed consideration of a specific Howard Street work district development concept, it is useful to complete this background discussion with further analysis of demographic and economic trends for city/county data as available in comparison with trends being experienced statewide.

Residents of both the City and County are also underrepresented in other industrial related occupations such as building grounds maintenance, maintenance repair, transportation and moving. This occupational mix is consistent with an overall lower average wage structure as is further detailed in the Employment Profile section of this report.

A review of employment data at the local, county and statewide level reveals four issues that would be addressed by the proposed Howard Street Corridor project: • High levels of unemployment with a declining job base • Overconcentration of the employment base in lower paid service jobs with inadequate representation of higher paid industrial employment • Resulting low median wage • Limited prospects for future employment growth in the absence of shovel ready industrial sites for development Countywide Employment & Unemployment Trends The top graph on the following page portrays year-by-year changes in countywide employment over an 8-year period starting in 2005. Immediately below is a comparison of annual unemployment rates for Jefferson County relative to statewide averages. As depicted by the first graph, countywide employment peaked in 2006, declining in every subsequent year until experiencing a small rebound in 2013. From 2006-2012,Jefferson County experienced a net loss of over 1,380 jobs—a 15% decline in total employment. Like Jefferson County, the rest of the state was affected by job loss during the recession. However, the duration of employment decline was much shorter. Statewide,job losses were experienced in only over two years (from 2008-10), followed by a net gain of over 150,000 jobs in three years since 2010. Jefferson County unemployment rates were as low as 4.8% in 2007 at the onset of the Great Recession. Subsequently, local unemployment rose rapidly, peaking at 9.9% in 2010 and 2011. Unemployment remained at 9% or more through 2013. Only in recent months has the Jefferson County jobless rate started to decline—down to 8.1% as of November 2014. Over the last three years,Jefferson County seasonally unadjusted rates were at 9.9%, 9.6% and 9.0%for 2011, 2012, and 2013 respectively—averaging 9.5% over all three years. For Washington state, comparable rates were at 9.2%, 8.1% and 7.0%the—averaging 8.1% over all three years. As of November 2014 (the most recent month for which data is available), Jefferson County's unemployment rate was 8.1%, 33% above the statewide rate of 6.1%.

However, the gap between local and E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 20 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 450 of 510 statewide unemployment increased starting in 2011. Even with the recent 2014 reduction of unemployment, the countywide unemployment rate remains 33% above the statewide rate. Employment & Wage Trend A more detailed look at the current employment and wage profile by industry sector further illustrates the challenge of generating more jobs and better quality jobs in Port Townsend and Jefferson County. The chart on the following page provides sector-by-sector detail for 2013. Also noted are changes since 2009—a period that marks the end of the recession on a national level. As of 2013, 1,087 firms in Jefferson County had payroll with 7,787 covered employees, with an average wage of just under$34,500 per year. Despite economic recovery elsewhere nationally and in Washington State, the number of covered jobs in Jefferson County is 5% less in 2013 than it was four years earlier in 2009. Other employment characteristics of note include the following: • Average firm size is relatively small at just seven employees per establishment—about half the statewide average. • Countywide employment is heavily skewed to service industries. Compared to the state, relatively high proportions of local jobs are found in the retail, accommodation and food services, other services and government sectors which account for about 60% of employment countywide versus just over 40% statewide. The only one of these service sectors providing wages above the countywide average is the government sector. • Traded sectorjobs are underrepresented in industrial sectors including construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation—and in service sectors that often include traded sector activity such as information, finance/insurance, and professional/technical services. • Traded sector activities generally pay more than the average for all jobs. While manufacturing overall pays above the countywide average, can be considerable variation depending on the type of firm considered. Within Jefferson County, workers in sectors such as food, beverage, printing and fabricated metals tend to be paid below the countywide average while industrial workers in sectors as in transportation equipment and other manufacturing (including paper products) are paid well above average. • While detailed 3-digit NAICS subsector information is not available for all sectors, similar variation can be noted for other Jefferson County employment sectors as well. For example, within the category of"other services," the average annual wage ranges from $11,500 for household workers to $36,500 for repair and maintenance workers. • The countywide wage all sector average annual wage of$34,500 per year is only 65% that of the statewide average—due in large part to under-representation of traded sector employment. If government employment is excluded from the average wage calculation, the wage average for all non-governmental sectors in Jefferson County comes in lower at $29,300 per year.

Employment data is for workers covered by unemployment insurance. Excluded are sole proprietors and others without coverage. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study + Page 22 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 452 of 510 Taken together, the high wage industry sectors (defined on a 2-digit NAICS basis) of utilities, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, information, finance/insurance, professional/technical services, and government account forjust over half(51%) of all employment in Jefferson County. Higher wage jobs also appear to be more resilient, accounting for only one quarter of the net job loss experienced countywide from 2009-13. Annual per worker payroll also increased more rapidly in these high wage sectors— up by $4,075 (+10%) per worker in four years as compared to a net gain of only$1,135 (+5%) in lower wage sectors of Jefferson County's existing job base. Median Hourly Wage Published QCEW employment data by NAICS industry classification (as described above) readily allows for calculation of average annual but not median hourly wages (which requires detailed information for every employer). However, ESD calculates an overall median hourly wage for all employment categories combined, by county. When considered on an hourly basis, the median wage for Jefferson County is $19.33 per hour, approximately 88% of the statewide median wage figure of$22.09 per hour. The current county-wide median wage represents a target that is anticipated to be exceeded with this CERB application. This can occur by targeting overall industry sectors that pay above the median as well as specific individual companies that may serve to leverage other higher wage activity. Self Employed Individuals who are self employed, for example, as sole proprietors, are often not covered by unemployment insurance and so are not included with QCEW data. Yet self employed individuals represent an estimated 25% of all employment in Jefferson County, well above the 10% of all workers statewide who are self-employed. Based on income data of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), individuals who are self- employed have annual incomes estimated at less than 30%the incomes of wage and salary employees. By comparison, incomes of the self-employed statewide average 60%that of wage and salary employees (when considered for the entire state of Washington). Persons who are self employed often work out of their home. This may be especially the case in the Port Townsend /Jefferson County area due to relatively low average annual incomes. However, some portion of the self-employed makes more than the countywide average or may want to expand into more business-like quarters. These individuals may represent potential candidates for renting industrial or commercial space—as in the Howard Street work district. Opportunities to get out of the house or garage are greater if small rental spaces with shared services are available. Examples would range from specialty kitchens with services offered on an hourly basis to small office spaces in a multi-tenant office building with availability of shared services as for copier, administrative support and conference/meeting space.

Jefferson County is included within the 3-county Olympic Consortium that also includes Clallam and Kitsap Counties. The most recent forecast was prepared by ESD in May 2014 and covers a 10-year time horizon extending from 2012-22. As depicted by the following chart, this forecast indicates a projected net gain for the three counties of 13,400 jobs from 2012-22. This equates to an annual average job growth rate of 1.1% per year. Job growth is projected to be somewhat more rapid in the first five years with continued economic recovery, then somewhat slower thereafter. Sectors with above average rates of job growth are projected to include industrial related sectors of construction and wholesale trade. Manufacturing and transportation related functions are projected for below average rates of job growth. Of services with a traded sector component, professional and business services offer the highest growth potential. Traded sectorjobs typically pay more and offer higher economic multipliers because they bring in new income and wealth by selling to customers outside as well as inside Jefferson County. 10-Year Olympic Consortium Employment Forecast (2012-22) Avg Growth Annual Employment - Total NonFarm 112,500 125,900 13,400 1.1% Natural Resources & Mining 500 500 0 0.0% Construction 5,000 6,600 1,600 2.8% Manufacturing 4,000 4,300 300 0.7% Wholesale Trade 1,800 2,100 300 1.6% Reta i I Trade 14,800 15,800 1,000 0.7% Transportation,Warehousing& Utilities 1,400 1,500 100 0.7% Information 1,500 1,600 100 0.6% Financial Activities 4,000 4,400 400 1.0% Professional & Business Services 8,700 10,700 2,000 2.1% Education & Health Services 16,200 20,100 3,900 2.2% Leisure& Hospitality 11,500 13,100 1,600 1.3% Other Services 4,700 5,000 300 0.6% Government 38,400 40,200 1,800 0.5% Source:Washington State Employment Security Department(ESD). Jefferson County currently accounts for 7% of employment in the 3-county region. If Jefferson County maintains this 7% share, about 940 added in-county jobs could be expected within this 10 year period. Of this total job gain, 335 jobs could be added in industrial and traded sector activities including construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation/warehousing, E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 24 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 454 of 510 information, financial and business services. All of these sectors pay wages that are above the countywide average for all employment activity. If high wage government employment is included, total job growth in sectors appropriate to target for the Howard Street Corridor would increases to net growth of 460 jobs over 10 years. If these jobs are accommodated at an overall average employment density of just under18 jobs per acre as per the development concept of Section IV (including both industrial and commercial office uses), approximately 26 acres of land would be required over 10 years. If this need is extrapolated forward over a longer term 20-year time horizon (at compound growth rates), the total land need for high wage jobs for Jefferson County would come in at about 55 acres over 20 years. This can be considered as a minimum need to serve high wage job growth in Jefferson County over 20 years. As described with the Development Concept in Section V of this economic feasibility study, the regional forecast approach for the Olympic Consortium likely undershoots the job growth need and potential for Jefferson County in the years ahead. This is for two policy-related reasons: a) the need to recapture jobs lost during and subsequent to the Great Recession; coupled with b) the need to also maintain a healthyjobs-populationbalance with continued population growth anticipated going forward. Implications for Howard Street Corridor Development Several implications of this employment analysis are important for consideration of economic feasibility of Howard Street development: • While there are early signs of some employment turn-around, the experience of Jefferson County over much of the last decade indicates that this growth is by no means assured. Provision of appropriately zoned sites with suitable infrastructure is pivotal to providing the best opportunity to both facilitate and accommodate job growth if forecast conditions are to materialize. • Meeting the above median wage targets of the CERB infrastructure funding program means focusing on traded sector activities that bring new wealth into the community together with potential for expanded public sector functions. Together these account for about 50% of regionally forecast growth. • Within each of these targeted sectors, there may be some mix of low and higher wage business activity. Accommodating this diversity is important with the caveat that the overall high wage goal is achieved. This may include using a below median wage opportunity as the initial catalyst (or"bird-in-hand") to begin the cycle of renewed development, provided that realistic opportunities for further up-wage job activity are leveraged as momentum for a Port Townsend work district builds over time.

SECTORS & CONCEPTS A pivotal component of this economic feasibility study involves the determination of targeted sectors and development concepts for build-out of the Howard Street corridor. Building from the economic and demographic trend review, development concepts will then allow for consideration of market and financial feasibility, marketing strategy and economic outcomes. TARGET SECTORS As is further detailed by the Appendix B Marketing Strategy to this economic feasibility study, business clusters targeted for the Howard Street Corridor are proposed to include: • Craft consumer good production—as for artisan food, fashions and furnishings. • Machining, manufacturing and specialty trades— including machining of not only wood but metals, composites and ceramics. • Research, engineering and design— both screen-and-paper including software firms. • Wholesaling and mail order—which may include an on-site showroom for destination customers. • Business support services—direct support professions as with law, accounting, tax, management consulting and web design, as well as printing. • Supplies and equipment—who sometimes become "exporters" in their own right. • Warehousing and storage— inside and outside, increasingly utilized as creative spaces for small and start-up firms operating out of inexpensive buildings with shared services. • Amenities and services—as varied as restaurants, gyms, daycare centers, banks, trade schools, hobby spaces, medical clinics, occupational therapists, and car rental agencies. Targeted sectors are intended to align with sectors that have exhibited stronger employment performance in recent years, include a substantial mix of higher wage jobs, and fit with demonstrated competitive strengths of the Port Townsend area businesses. These sectors are driven by traded sector firms—selling goods and services regionally or internationally as well as locally, thereby bringing net new dollars into the Port Townsend community. Not all target sector firms in the Howard Street corridor will meet all objectives in the same way. Some businesses will pay more than others. For example, as a service sector function, retail generally pays less but is important as a sales outlet for locally produced goods as well as serving the day-to-day employee and procurement needs of local export-oriented businesses. Increasingly, successful work districts in both metro and non-metro settings are finding that employees want proximity (including walkability) to nearby places to eat, work out, conduct personal business, meet and socialize. Even within an overall high wage sector such as manufacturing, there can be wide differences in wage and salary practices. Metal trades requiring high skill levels generally pay well; food E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 26 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 456 of 510 processing firms pay less but may offer opportunities for entry level work, followed by advancement or transition to other entrepreneurial ventures. A measure of success for the Howard Street corridor is not that every job pays above the median wage, but that the overall district pays above median. In some cases (as appears to be the case in Port Townsend), that may involve seeding the district with an iconic industry paying below the median— in turn attracting attention and follow-on investment from other higher wage industries and firms. Toward a Howard Street Work District Proposed by this feasibility study is something more than business as usual for Port Townsend. Even with economic recovery from the recession noted elsewhere in Washington state, a review of recent trends indicates lackluster economic benefits for Jefferson County to date. Employment remains well below pre-recession levels, unemployment is well above the statewide average, the community is unduly tied to lower wage job sectors, and local incomes have come to depend more on investment, retirement and transfer payment sources than employment. The results are relatively low household incomes and governmental revenues more challenged to meet public service needs. A Howard Street work district offers an opportunity to mitigate if not reverse this downward trend. Proposed with this feasibility study is a working vision statement to the effect that: The Howardr corridor is a mixed1 r istrict®facilitating investment for high wage,job-creating pr c i -sit sales, is ri i ® research and dev 1 administrative asupport service c i s responsive to ev r changing local 1 1 marketr ii s® Pedestrian vehicle ri 1 ®functional and eclectic in design, r vi i ll range urbanservices, istrict cultivates s s i 1 craftsmanship, yielding measurablereturn on investmentfor businesses, employees,property owners and the greater Port Townsend community. This draft vision is intended to serve as an organizing principle for work district development concepts together with resulting market feasibility evaluation and marketing strategy that comprise the remainder of this economic feasibility study. Work District Case Study At this point, a reasonable question to ask is: Has the concept of a multi form, interdisciplinary work district worked elsewhere?The answer is a definite yes—though this is still a pioneering endeavor. On the following page is presented a case study from a similar community— Hood River, Oregon. The Appendix B marketing strategy describes additional work district examples. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 27 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 457 of 510 Case Study— Hood River, Oregon With 7,545 in-city residents and 23,730 countywide,the Hood River area is less populated than Port Townsend and Jefferson County, albeit in a smaller geographic area. Drive time to Portland as the nearest metro area is about one hour on a good day-but access can be more treacherous with winter driving conditions through the Columbia River gorge. Like Port Townsend, Hood River is a popular visitor destination-known for downtown shopping, area wineries, orchards, and diverse recreation anchored by board sailing on the Columbia River. Both communities offer spectacular waterfront natural settings with a mountain backdrop. Job Growth. Despite the recession and its aftermath, Hood River is experiencing strong economic growth. Countywide employment increased by 7%from 2009-13 with average wages up by 11%. Unemployment is dropping to about 5%-below the Oregon statewide average of 7%.9 Even with substantial reliance on relatively low wage agricultural and tourism related employment,the area's economic growth is now being led by high wage industries. Manufacturing, transportation/warehousing/utilities, information,finance/insurance and professional/business services account for about one-quarter of the county's job base but one-half of the job growth since 2009. Locally Grown. Major employers include Hood Technologies (aerospace engineering), Insitu (headquartered across the Columbia in Bingen and acquired by Boeing), Full Sail Brewing Company (employee owned microbrewery), Dakine (clothing and sports equipment),Turtle Island Foods (vegetarian Tofurky), Ryan's (fresh fruit juices) and Hood River Distillers (largest importer, producer and bottler of spirits in the Pacific Northwest). A number of these ✓' �r , firms were founded and grown by persons moving to Hood River to pursue their recreational and entrepreneurial passions. i Port Development Strategy. Recent development has occurred on 65 acres of publicly and privately owned land on the Columbia River waterfront.The Port of Hood River has taken a lead development role-for public beach access, a 150-slip moorage, and waterfront business park with sites for sale and lease as well as building space for lease.

Light industrial zoning allows for a range of industrial uses including those with outside storage as well as size limited office and on-site g sales/display of products "accessory and essential to the permitted use." In December 2014,the City Council adopted a waterfront overlay zone to set urban design standards for those industrial and commercial properties in closest proximity to the Columbia River.

Development Build-Out At full build-out the Howard Street Work District offers the development capacity to support at least another 720,000 square feet of commercial and industrial building space. This would lead to added fair market valuation (FMV) based on County assessment trends of nearly$65 million.

E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 30 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 460 of 510 This build-out scenario is predicated on the following assumptions: • Development of 82.5 acres— including 77.8 acres identified by Jefferson County tax records as having no improvements value and 4.7 acres as having improvements valuation less than one-half as great as land value (i.e., I:L< 0.5). • Site coverage (or FAR) with building square footage equal to at least 20% of land area — an increase from the 14% FAR factor with Howard Street corridor sites that currently have buildings. • Fair market valuation (FMV) consistent with values as estimated by the assessor for existing sites with improvements area in the Howard Street area (minus land value for unimproved land). These estimates may prove to be conservative over the long-term—especially to the extent that building intensity increases to what is typically expected for commercial and industrial development and that valuations for new structures exceed what is on the ground today. Mix of Work District Uses & Employment The next questions that arise are: What is the anticipated mix of development?And, how much added employment and payroll might be associated with this development? Consistent with the vision for the work district for a mutually supportive mix of overall high wage jobs, three components of development and employment activity are anticipated: • Industrial shop space—for targeted sectors including craft consumer good production, machining, manufacturing and specialty trades, warehousing and storage (estimated at 40% of work district building space development). • High wage office— including targeted sectors of research, engineering and design together with business support sectors (at 35% of building area developed). • Related retail —which can include supplies and equipment as well as amenities and services plus on-site retail for products manufactured on-site (at about 25% of total work district building area developed). As depicted by the chart on the following page, this projected mix of development results in potential net added property valuation of close to $65 million and added employment to build- out of 1,465 jobs. This job figure represents opportunity to support an approximate 19% increase in Jefferson County employment (as compared to the 2013 employment figure of 7,787 covered jobs countywide). Payroll anticipated with these jobs is estimated at $58.5 million per year. Average wage (including for part time workers) would be in the range of$39,900— nearly 16% above the 2013 Jefferson County average of just under$34,500 per year. Overall above average wage performance can be achieved even with one-quarter of anticipated employment occurring in lower wage and part time sectors of retail and accommodations (including food service).

Employee benefits will vary depending on the firm and are not readily ascertainable into the future,in part due to continuing and/or potential changes in state/federal legislation especially as relates to health care and retirement benefits. Business Recruitment Targets From a marketing perspective, it is useful to know how many new or expanding firms it might take to achieve build-out at the projected target of 1,465 jobs in 20 years. The answers depend on whether development in the future matches the current profile of businesses in Jefferson County or transitions not just to more firms but also growing businesses. Current Firm Size Profile. As of 2013, the typical firm size for targeted industrial shop, office and related retail firms was just over 9 employees: • Industrial shop operations average less than 6 employees per firm (with firm size dropping by over 35% in just the four prior years since 2009). • Targeted office uses average close to 15 employees per firm (with the typical firm having doubled in size since 2009). • Related support retail and service firms average less than 9 employees per firm (a figure that has remained stable in recent years). If average firm size remains as it was in 2013, it would take close to 160 businesses to achieve Howard Street work district build-out. However, this would not achieve the vision for the E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 32 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 462 of 510 district which is to not only support new firms but also facilitate business growth with new and existing firms for increased sustainability over time. Growing Firm Size. If Howard Street work district businesses were to average twice the numbers of employees as currently occurs in Jefferson County, it could take up to about 80 business to achieve district build-out. The anticipated mix of new businesses in the corridor area would include: • About 35 added industrial shop businesses • 25 added high wage office firms • 20 added work district retail and service support businesses This represents a maximum recruitment target. To the extent that existing businesses in the district also share in this growth, the net new requirement is correspondingly reduced. Conditions for Achieving Build-Out Achieving the projections associated with build-out will not automatically occur—even with construction of the Howard Street extension as currently proposed. Other conditions that underlie this projection are identified as including: • Aggressive marketing—as a cooperative initiative involving the City, EDC, Chamber of Commerce, County, and Port. • Adoption of refined permanent work district zoning allowing for more flexible mixing of high wage employment than is possible with existing industrial and commercial designations— but with a cap on retail focused toward on-site producer sales together with walk-to business and employee service amenities. • No net loss of existing businesses, for example, as might be impacted by right-of-way acquisition as needed for the realigned Howard Street corridor. • Securing one or more catalyst investments early on— building confidence and momentum to draw additional work district investment and employment. • Employee training and recruitment—to retain and rebuild an educated, younger, skilled highly productive, and well paid work district labor force. • Active encouragement and facilitation for businesses to grow their employment base in Port Townsend, with flexibility for district expansion in response to increased market opportunities over time. • On-going monitoring of results—with opportunity for mid-course correction as needed. Mt. Townsend Creamery- Catalyst for Work District Development In advance of a 2015 CERB application, an existing Port Townsend artisan manufacturer proposes to anchor the new Howard Street Work District. Mt. Townsend Creamery will build momentum for subsequent high wage investment. As profiled on the following page, the firm is ready to proceed to development, contingent on street extension and utilities as proposed. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 33 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 463 of 510 Mount Townsend Creamery - Lead Howard Street Investment The Mt.Townsend Creamery was founded in 2005 by Matt Day and Ryan Trail and their families. As stated on the company's web site: "At Mt.Townsend Creamery,we work with local farmers to handcraft cheese that captures the character of the Olympic Peninsula, and reinvigorates world traditions." Mt. Townsend secures high-quality milk from "a single herd of 250 cows that live and graze on one family- owned farm, in Sequim,whose owners have been raising dairy cows for generations."" Room for Growth.The Creamery currently operates from three spaces in Port Townsend with no room to serve increasing demand for its product in Jefferson County, in Puget Sound and beyond. Planned is the consolidation of facilities into a single new 17,000 square foot creamery with room to accommodate yet further future growth over a period of up to the next 15 years. Mt.Townsend will also operate an on-site store and tasting room—watching cheese makers at work. Under the name Cheesy Ventures,the firm has acquired 2.56 acres on two parcels situated between 7th and 8th Streets that adjoin the proposed improved Howard Street Corridor.The City will acquire an approximate 0.23 acre strip for the proposed Howard Street relocation. It is also possible that excess land may be available on plant completion for sale, ideally to another artisan manufacturer. The expansion is estimated to cost up to $2.5 million for plant, equipment, and capitalized start-up costs. Financing is anticipated to occur the through the SBA 504 program. Current plans call for the new plant to be operational by mid-2016. Employment. As of November 2014, Mt. Townsend Creamery has 20 employees, 14 of whom are employed full-time. Consistent with trends throughout its industry,the firm pays an average wage for hourly employees below the Jefferson County median. Five salaried employees are paid at rates above the median.This lead investment is intended to draw other businesses with a higher wage mix. Eight employees are on a company provided health plan; another two also have family coverage. Paid time off accrues hourly to about two weeks per year(@ a 40-hour work week). While relocation is not expected to result in substantial new job hires, a shift to higher wage levels is anticipated for employees with increased skills and responsibilities. Need for CERB Funding. Securing r the proposed Howard Street improvement projects is pivotal to Mt. Townsend's planned creamery relocation and expansion.The project is also dependent on wetlands mitigation and rezoning. Without the street and associated sewer service the Mt. Townsend Creamery project will not be able to proceed.

MARKET & FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY Do the development concepts describe offer market opportunity?Are they financially feasible— from both private and public sector perspectives? These are questions that this pivotal portion of the Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study aims to address. This economic feasibility study is faced with addressing the challenge posed by experience of the last decade—with county-wide employment yet to recover to anything near pre-recession levels and with commercial and industrial development in Port Townsend at a virtual standstill. This economic feasibility assessment argues for a turn-around for two reasons: • Opportunity to share in renewed economic vitality as is occurring elsewhere throughout the U.S. and Washington state. • Imperative for economic recovery locally— if Port Townsend and Jefferson County are to offer opportunities for sustained quality of life in the years ahead. As the only significant location with fully served sites to accommodate added industrial-related employment in Port Townsend and Jefferson County, the Howard Street corridor will play a pivotal role in determining the extent and manner to which this economic turnaround is experienced. This involves assessment of the overall market opportunity followed by consideration of factors that will influence feasibility for the public infrastructure and private development. MARKET OPPORTUNITY The review of demographic and employment trends and outlook (covered by Section III of this report) provides one lens through which to view future opportunity both community-wide and for the Howard Street Corridor more specifically. Another lens is through the organized efforts of organizations directly involved in economic development for the city and county. This discussion includes consideration of current county-wide industry cluster priorities, industrial commercial land supply and demand, and Port Townsend strategic initiatives. The final conclusion as to market opportunity comes back to the planning and policy question of whether Port Townsend and Jefferson County continue with the recent trend or move more aggressively toward a cooperative program for economic recovery and renewed vitality. Industry Cluster Priorities Team Jefferson operates as the state-designated economic development council (EDC) for Jefferson County. Together with partner organizations including the City of Port Townsend, Team Jefferson initiates and facilitates collaborative projects and partnerships aimed to create sustainable prosperity for Jefferson County. The organization provides one-on-one, confidential consulting and technical assistance to existing businesses and assists businesses interested in locating in Jefferson County. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 35 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 465 of 510 Team Jefferson currently works to promote and enhance nine identified industry clusters: • Health & wellness • Small business & entrepreneurs • Food & farm • Retail &tourism • Marine trades • Construction & real estate • Arts & culture • Education • Advanced technology A Howard Street work district is distinctly oriented to improve overall wage levels locally and county-wide. This initiative also appears well suited to serve at least four of these clusters: food &farm, activity complementary to marine trades, advanced technology, and small business & entrepreneurs. The portion of the retail &tourism segment that relates to sales of goods produced on-site also represents a good fit with the Team Jefferson strategic cluster approach. And despite continued business consolidation, Howard Street offers a good location for construction firms serving Port Townsend and Jefferson County buiding needs—especially with respect to emerging opportunities in green building and improved energy management (as with solar, weatherization, heating and insulation applications). Economic Development Planning In recent years, considerable economic development planning has been conducted for public jurisdictions and economic development organizations in Jefferson County: • In 2002, Paul Sommers prepared an initial Jefferson County economic assessment— covering demographic and employment trends, interview and survey findings, and potential approaches and recommendations for economic development in Jefferson County. The now more than decade-old report reviewed key trends at the time— noting that "Jefferson County's economy is transitioning from a reliance on forestry, wood products, fishing and other marine-related industries to one based on retirement, tourism, and linkages to the 'new economy' in the Seattle area." Stakeholder interviews and a business survey were conducted and a series of industry clusters recommended as a means to organize local economic development initiatives. • In 2007, the economic and development consulting firm E. D. Hovee & Company, LLC conducted preliminary work toward a countywide industrial and commercial land inventory, infrastructure assets and economic development analysis—with key products including business survey, preliminary employment forecast scenarios, plus commercial and industrial lands inventory analyses. Three alternative scenarios were prepared to illustrate potential employment and accompanying land needs for Jefferson County over a 20-year forecast horizon (2007- 27)— including extrapolation of the existing job trends, an alternative forjobs-housing balance, and a third scenario associated with a jobs premium for selected target industry sectors. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 36 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 466 of 510 • In June 2010, E. D. Hovee prepared an updated assessment as part of a joint economic development planning process conducted as a cooperative initiative of Jefferson County, the City of Port Townsend and Port of Port Townsend. A particular need emerging subsequent to the 2002 and 2007 economic development analyses was to take into account effects of the economic recession and as yet uncertain economic recovery—addressing how the economic landscape has changed and might continue to transition over the next 1-2 decades. As of the 2010 assessment update,Team Jefferson was proceeding with detailed analysis of key business clusters for priority emphasis in Jefferson County—setting in place the framework for on-going business assistance that continues today. In the absence of more recent economic development planning updates, two elements from existing and prior analyses remain of particular importance to this Howard Street economic feasibility study— industrial/commercial lands analysis and projections of future economic growth. Industrial/Commercial Land Availability Questions of industrial and commercial land availability are considered both for the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County. Port Townsend Developable Employment Lands. A preliminary industrial /commercial land inventory conducted in 2007-08 identified approximately 128 acres of vacant lands not in critical areas within Port Townsend.12 The majority of the then identified inventory (67 acres) was noted as being designated for commercial and/or mixed use— primarily for the Howard Street area. Another 28+ acres was designated for marine related uses at Port Haven and Port Hudson. The remaining 32 acres was indicated as mixed commercial/light manufacturing—also primarily in the Howard Street area. As of late 2014, the Port of Port Townsend web site indicates that no vacant commercial properties are available. In effect, the commercial and non-marine general industrial vacant inventory was and remains in or near the Howard Street district of Port Townsend. A corresponding 2014 updated review of parcel based GIS data indicates that there are 11 acres of vacant or underutilized general industrial (M-C zoned) land in Port Townsend situated outside of the current Howard Street corridor study area. All of this added future potential inventory is located immediately adjoining the study area (about one block east of Howard and one block south of Sims but with critical street and utility infrastructure not yet on-site. As of early 2015, there is no identified vacant/underutilized general (non-marine) industrial land in Port Townsend that is currently served with full street and utility infrastructure. Getting appropriate infrastructure to Howard Street corridor sites with the proposed street extension and utility project is therefore pivotal as the only realistic option to providing shovel-ready industrial land in Port Townsend. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 37 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 467 of 510 Completion of this proposed extension project will also serve to set the stage for future provision of final needed infrastructure investments for what will become the last remaining acreage of undeveloped general industrial (M-C) land in Port Townsend. As noted, this last reserve of in-town industrial land is just east of the Howard Street corridor, and may be positioned to accommodate further work district expansion as is warranted in the future. There appear to be greater options for commercial development in Port Townsend, although sites are generally quite small and dispersed throughout the city. As of 2014, GIS/tax assessor data indicates that there are 26 acres of vacant commercially designated land in Port Townsend —with average parcel size at just one-quarter acre. There are another 13-14 acres of underutilized parcels with an improvements to land value (I:L) ratio of less than 0.5. At about one-third of an acre, average size of these underutilized parcels is also relatively small. The Howard Street area offers potential advantages for selected commercial uses as compared to the remaining inventory elsewhere in the city: • Parcels are available in greater size increments allowing for more planned center developments including greater opportunities for shared parking. • Targeted commercial office, retail and service uses can serve manufacturing and related industrial employment, further boosting the amenity value for industrial location and expansion in the work district. Broadening the commercial designation to allow complementary manufacturing related use is recommended for the Howard Street work district—especially for production facilities that have an on-site retail component. Strategies to focus commercial use on those activities that reinforce the work district concept will also serve to encourage the component of retail that is not work-district related to better utilize commercial sites available elsewhere within existing downtown and neighborhood districts. Employment Lands in Unincorporated Jefferson County. It is also useful to consider what might be considered as potentially comparable (or competitive) industrial and commercial properties outside the City of Port Townsend and its urban growth area (UGA). Most of the unincorporated inventory that has been developed in the past is situated close to the City in the eastern portion of the county. The earlier 2007-08 inventory also identified an estimated 379 acres of potential employment property in unincorporated Jefferson County. However, as of the date of the inventory none of this acreage was identified as having municipal water and sewer service. Lack of sewer was identified as a primary constraint, meaning that development could occur only to the extent that septic or other suitable on-site treatment systems could be put in place. Key portions of this future unincorporated area inventory potential include the Irondale / Hadlock UGA, Glen Cove light industrial area and Jefferson County International Airport. While E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 38 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 468 of 510 sewer has been planned for the Irondale/ Hadlock UGA, full funding has not materialized to date. A proposal for allowing non-aviation-related industrial and manufacturing uses at the airport also has not proceeded to implementation. Unincorporated Jefferson County remains a potentially viable and often low cost location for businesses that have minimal wastewater needs (as with no process water) and/or can develop cost-effective septic or related on-site treatment systems. Depending on soil conditions, businesses often may be able to build on only one-third to one-half of the lot, with the remainder as required drainfield. For businesses such as Mt. Townsend Creamery, access to a municipal system may be determined to be the most cost-effective or only viable option. Industrial/Commercial Land Demand The 2007 economic development analysis also provided preliminary projections of employment and associated land needs for Port Townsend and unincorporated Jefferson County. Three job scenarios—trend extrapolation,jobs-housing balance, and cluster-based growth —were considered. These scenarios involved employment growth rates averaging from 3-4% per year. If these levels of employment growth were to materialize, the net county-wide industrial/commercial land need over 20 years could range to as much as 429-637 acres. To date, the employment growth rates and associated land needs considered have not materialized. The 2007 projections were followed by the Great Recession which led to job losses rather than gains. As noted earlier in this report, employment in Jefferson County was still 15% or more below pre-recession levels as of 2013. Despite the recession, the population of Jefferson County has continued to increase. From 2006-13,Jefferson County experienced a net loss of 1,340 jobs (or an employment decline of 15%). During this same time frame, population countywide increased by over 7%. If the area were to recapture what was lost and maintain the jobs-to-population experienced just prior to the recession, the number of jobs would need to be more than 2,000 jobs greater than were available as of 2013—just to stay even with where the county was less than a decade ago. Port Townsend Strategic Initiatives The significance of the Howard Street Corridor to Port Townsend's economic recovery and future growth prospects has been recognized for some time. 2010 Capital Investment Strategy. In 2010, the City of Port Townsend Capital Investment Strategy focused on an action plan to grow from three main economic anchors: • Marine heritage • Fort Worden • Upper Sims and Howard Street commercial corridor E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 39 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 469 of 510 In the wake of the Great Recession and weak economic recovery, a clear message was that "City wide infrastructure investment initiative is still critical to recovery."Three reasons were identified as a basis for making these strategic investments in Port Townsend's future: a) A need to continue to focus on a long-term infrastructure strategy to build and grow community and economic development activity; b) Recognition that Port Townsend's major established economic anchors continue to prove themselves as assets from which to build; and c) Resulting conclusion that the City has to continue as a leader and partner in advancing the community's long-term prosperity. 2014 / 3-Year Strategic Plan. This past year, the City of Port Townsend has re-stated and reinforced the importance of the Howard Street corridor to the City's overall strategic objectives and goals. The #1 strategic goal is to deliver an updated Comprehensive Plan in 2016. The #2 goal (out of five) is to "increase capacity for business development in the Howard Street corridor."This goal fits with a strategic objective for improved infrastructure to support diverse business opportunities. Strategies identified as important to achieve this goal for the Howard Street corridor are to: • Create a diverse commercial services district • Allow for advanced-tech, light industrial, and artisan manufacturing • Integrate with neighboring residential areas • Demonstrate environmental stewardship Which Way for Port Townsend / Jefferson County? Based on recent (post-2005) experience, the case might be made that there is little to no need for any significant level of added industrial or commercial development in Port Townsend or Jefferson County. Jobs have declined to 85% of the 2005 peak due to the recession and extremely weak economic recovery locally to date. What Recent Trends Suggest. As of November 2014, the City of Port Townsend had yet to issues a single permit for new commercial construction in the City. Longer term, an aging population means that fewer jobs may be required for persons no longer actively in the work force. To further illustrate, an Eco-Industrial Park Feasibility Study for the Port of Port Townsend in 2011 concluded that: "Industrial employment in Jefferson County totals fewer than 1,000 jobs, with limited overall projected growth."The conceptual plan for an industrial park at adjacent to the Jefferson County International Airport provided for 11 parcels of 1+ acres. The conclusion was that, even with pre-leasing, the industrial park might become fully leased (or absorbed) in ten years, for annual average demand of only 1 acre (or about 9,000-10,000 square feet of industrial building space) per year. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 40 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 470 of 510 Rationale for Economic Turnaround. An outlook based on recent trends would appear admittedly pessimistic but does not tell the full story when considered in light of the following additional considerations: • Port Townsend and Jefferson County have not always experienced anemic job growth. In the two decades prior to 2006, employment increased at a rate 75% above what was then an also robust pace of countywide population growth. • Countywide, unemployment which was on a par with the statewide average in 2006 is now considerably above the statewide average— indicating need for new jobs to re- employ those who remain displaced from employment. • Pre-recession, over one-fifth (21%) of businesses surveyed in 2007 indicated they would need added building area in the future and 12% indicated need for added land.13 With national and regional growth now on the upswing, there is opportunity for Jefferson County to regain lost ground if suitable buildings and shovel-ready land can be provided. • In today's world of mixed use employment opportunity, a work district anchored by industrial employment can be a lot more—also encompassing related tech-oriented office, on-site product showroom and retailing activity, thereby broadening the range of employment opportunities served. And creating the type of vibrant work place where younger workers (notably millennials) want to be. • Much of the county-wide economic development focus in recent years has been on attracting development to lands in the unincorporated part of the County; however this has not yet proven effective due to continuing land use and infrastructure questions. Facilitating industrial development in-town represents an option that is preferred by many firms and consistent with growth management objectives. • With a median age of over 55 years,Jefferson County is nearly 50% older than the rest of the state—a trend that may prove increasingly challenging to sustain indefinitely. For economic and fiscal balance, increasing the share of the adult population that is employed is important to quality of public services and overall quality of life. • With hourly wages that are 12% below and household incomes 24% below comparable statewide median figures,Jefferson County has considerable distance to go. This distance likely cannot be made up without renewed higher wage employment growth. The wage disparity is even greater when considered on an average annual basis—35% below the statewide average due to the much higher prevalence of part time work in Jefferson County. In short, there is a clear rationale for the economic turnaround being experienced elsewhere to also come to Port Townsend and Jefferson County. However, successful recovery is by no means assured. Return to a sustainable path of economic prosperity will not take place on its own but will depend on intentional, cooperative initiatives of the public and private sectors. And securing more jobs will require suitable, fully served land and suitable buildings in which to house the added business and employment activity.

How this might occur is depicted by the following chart: • The top portion of the chart quantifies anticipated job need countywide— both today and over the next two decades. • The bottom portion of the chart illustrates the share of the market (or capture of countywide potentials) required for the Howard Street work district to build-out over the next 20 years.

D. Hovee&Company, LLC The top portion of the chart indicates that over 2,000 jobs would need to be created to get back to the levels of employment experienced prior to the recession and also serve employment needs of population growth experienced since 2005. An added 2,665 jobs will be needed to keep pace with population growth expected over the next two decades. Noted is that while the adopted GMA plan for Jefferson County assumes a population growth rate of nearly 1.8% per year, actual population growth rate has averaged 1.1% per year from 2005-14. An updated 1.1% annual growth rate is forecast by OFM for Jefferson County (with a medium growth scenario) to 2035. Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend are currently using this mid-range forecast in conjunction with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan update process. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 42 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 472 of 510 Of the 4,670 total potential countywide job need, about 3,500 jobs (or 75%) currently fall into the high wage shop industrial/office plus support retail and hospitality sectors that represent priority business development targets for a Howard Street work district. The bottom portion of the chart details how much of the added employment potential the Howard Street work district would need to capture to achieve initial build-out within a 20-year time horizon. With build-out indicated at approximately 1,465 jobs, the work district would need to capture about 42% of the countywide forecast for 3,500 added jobs in high priority job sectors. Looked at from the perspective of all job growth in Jefferson County, the Howard Street corridor could account for just under one-third (31%) of the 4,670 total added jobs required for Jefferson County to re-establish and maintain jobs-population balance moving forward to 2035. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY For economic development to occur on the Howard Street corridor, there not only needs to be a market. Development also "Employees needs to demonstrate financial feasibility.

E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 43 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 473 of 510 Building Lease Rates. The 2011 feasibility also concluded that a new industrial building could be expected to support rents in the range of$0.50 - $0.60 per square foot monthly. Rates are quoted on a triple net basis (meaning that the tenant pays operating expenses). Research conducted for this 2015 economic feasibility study indicates that rents paid in Port Townsend for some form of commercial retail/office or light industrial use can range from about $0.85 - $1.50 per square foot per month—or up to $2.00 in the downtown area. Outside the downtown area, zoning that allows for a wide range of uses typically can be expected to support lease rates at the higher end of the range. Lease rates can represent a conundrum for project feasibility. From a developer's perspective, higher rates (if supported by tenants) improve project feasibility and allow for a greater level of building quality and amenity. From a tenant's standpoint, rates should be comparable and competitive with what is paid elsewhere. However, unduly high rental costs may impair business viability—especially for start-up operations. To achieve broad market appeal and high rates of space absorption, least rates for traded sector development in the Port Townsend market can expect to remain extremely price sensitive. Projects in the Howard Street work district will need to be constructed on a cost effective basis—especially in the early years of increased development activity. Other Factors. Based on interviews conducted with potentially affected business and property owners, the following additional factors can be expected to affect feasibility of development in the Howard Street corridor—whether positively or negatively-- include: • Added visibility that the fully completed Howard Street Corridor will bring to businesses reliant on customer traffic to the site. • Process of street right-of-way acquisition to minimize and/or mitigate business disruption or relocation. • Zoning flexibility to allow for a range of complementary employment uses— both with adjoining businesses and in cases where a business has manufacturing, distribution, office and/or retail activity all under one roof. • Performance standards to address noise, odor, glare or related issues that impact neighboring business and residential areas. • Agricultural food and safety requirements (as represented by the new Federal Food Safety Modernization Act) which may force some on-the-farm processors to locations with municipal utilities. • Potential for transition of businesses not as dependent on customer traffic or pressured by rental rates to expand at a lower cost location. • Preference by many businesses for a work district providing full public infrastructure as the most viable or cost effective location as compared with unincorporated areas without sewer or other typical municipal infrastructure services. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 44 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 474 of 510 • Availability of appropriately size building space for lease—especially for start-up and smaller firms that can not readily afford or obtain financing to purchase and build their own building(s). • Maintenance of on-going opportunities for communicating with and involving affected business and property owners—as well as to inform the general public. The manner in which positives are bolstered and negatives mitigated likely will have a material effect on demand realized for Howard Street corridor space, lease rates supportive of new construction, and resulting project feasibility. This economic feasibility study supports public- private marketing initiatives and other outcomes—as addressed in Sections VI and VII —that will serve to ramp up the pace of work district investment and added job opportunity, providing positive return on investment (ROI) for both public and private sector participants. Mt. Townsend Creamery. As described earlier, planned expansion and relocation to a Howard Street site (already purchased) represents a pivotal catalyst for work district development. A successful project will serve to build confidence for other follow-on investments by other artisan manufacturers as well as related or supportive businesses. Conditions affecting feasibility of this project proceeding to construction by a committed private partner include: • The City securing CERB funds to build the street and necessary utility infrastructure • Favorable financing—as is currently anticipated with the SBA 504 program • Wetlands mitigation and rezoning While every project has its own distinctive needs and issues, the factors affecting creamery feasibility are also likely to be at play in make-or-break decisions for other employer investments in the years ahead. Public Sector Feasibility As with Mt. Townsend Creamery, significant private sector investment from other sources is dependent on feasibility of public as well as private investment. The primary question from the public sector perspective is:Are the public funds available to complete the project components that are most critical to incent private development? As is detailed by the sources and uses of funding chart on the next page, the estimated City sponsored portion of the Howard Street corridor public infrastructure project is estimated to cost $7 million. Of this amount, $5 million is available from sources already awarded and available to the City of Port Townsend. The remaining $2 million is proposed to be funded by the State of Washington Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB). Of this amount, $1.7 million is proposed as a loan and $300,000 as a grant from the CERB program. CERB funds would be applied to fill the remaining funding gap for roadway extension and to fund the regional stormwater facility. Water and sewer portions of the project are to be separately funded by the City of Port Townsend.

E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 47 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 477 of 510 MARKETING RESPONSIBILITIES The City of Port Townsend, in partnership with the Team Jefferson Economic Development Council and the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce will jointly implement the Howard Street work district marketing strategy developed as an integral component of this economic feasibility study. Partnership opportunities also will be sought with other interested and supporting agencies including the Port of Port Townsend,Jefferson County, and State of Washington Department of Commerce. Marketing strategy coordination will be conducted through the office of the Port Townsend City Manager as a signature City initiative. The City and its marketing partners have existing staffing resources available for start-up and on-going marketing in cooperation with work district property owners, developers and brokerage firms. ACTION TIMELINE All of these action elements will be initiated upon securing full project funding, with CERB as the remaining outstanding funding source yet to be determined. Prior to completion of the Howard Street infrastructure extension project, the City will work with its marketing partners to refine and begin implementation of the market positioning and branding strategy. In 2016, Mt. Townsend Creamery will initiate operations at its new Howard Street location, once municipal and franchise infrastructure is in place. This "success story" will be used in collateral marketing materials and web site presence to encourage subsequent business expansion and location decisions for the Howard Street corridor. Also in 2016, the City of Port Townsend will complete the update of its Comprehensive Plan with revamped zoning to support and implement the work district concept. By 2017, the City together with its marketing partners will have all of its branding and related marketing materials including ambassadors program fully in place. The City also intends to seek partnerships with education and work force partners to address critical issues of workforce availability and quality. And over a 10-year period, the City is committed to actively monitoring results, with mid-course corrections to address unforeseen issues or emerging opportunities as they arise. Business development and related marketing will extend over a period of up to the next 20 years—to achieve work district build-out by 2035.

ECONOMIC OUTCOMES Assuring positive economic outcomes is of importance to the State of Washington (with potential CERB funding), City of Port Townsend (as project sponsor and with potential local funding support), and private business and property owners (for corresponding investment). Outcomes addressed in summary fashion by this economic feasibility report relate to the phasing of development, employment, wages, tax revenues and on-going tracking of outcomes. PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT Current project phasing is anticipated to occur approximately as Howard Street Zoninq follows: Feasibility outcomes • CERB Tier 1 Application—January 20, 2015 are predicated on • CERB Tier 2 Application— February 2, 2015 permanent zoningthat: • Finalization of Zoning Revisions— By July 8, 2015 (with expiration of City Council approved interim zoning) • Adopts planned unit • Street Improvement Construction Underway—Starting by development (PUD), May—August 2015 (contingent on completion of design form-based and/or performance and right-of-way acquisition) features in total or as • Completion of Infrastructure Construction— an overlay to a use- (approximately one year from start or by about mid 2016) based code • Completion of Mt.

Added employment will occur incrementally as new development occurs and businesses locate or expand in the district—targeted to average 70-75 added jobs per year. As of November 2014 (the most recent data available), State of Washington ESD data indicates that Jefferson County has a civilian labor force estimated at 11,430 persons. The 1,465 jobs targeted for creation over 20 years represents 12.8% of the current countywide labor force. ESD data also indicates that there were an estimated 930 workers unemployed in Jefferson County as of November 2014. The 1,465 jobs created over 20 years would exceed the number of persons currently unemployed countywide (but does not include the estimated 25% of workers currently self-employed throughout the county who typically not eligible for unemployment insurance). The 70-75 jobs created annually within the Howard Street work district represents new economic opportunity for about 8% of the current pool of those currently on unemployment in Jefferson County. WAGES The annual wage of businesses in the Howard Street work district is expected to average $39,900 in 2013 dollars. This is close to 16% above the 2013 Jefferson County average of just under$34,500 per year. This wage average assumes a job mix that is about one-half(49%) comprised of tech/ professional office workers, 26% of industrial shop and 25% of related support retail and service employees. Because published NAICS industry-specific wage information for counties of the state is available using annual averages, it is not readily possible to readily calculate a median hourly equivalent.15 However, the average projected for the work district is enough above the county- wide average for all jobs to assure that median wages would also be well above the current county-wide median of$19.33 per hour. Assuming that the median hourly wage increases at the same pace as overall annual average wage, a 16% increase in average annual wages is assumed to serve as a minimum expectation of hourly wage growth —to about $22.40 per hour. An alternative second method of estimating potential wages is provided with use of illustrative occupational (rather than industry-specific NAICS title). As illustrated by the supplemental data with Appendix B, this analysis results in an estimated hourly wage of$23.90—which is approximately 24% above the current median of$19.33. Actual job wage gains will depend on the mix of industrial and occupation-specific employment that materializes over a 20-year forecast horizon. For purposes of this analysis, an approximate 16-24% range of increase in the Jefferson County potential median hourly wage is indicated.

Added detail on business revenue and tax rate factors utilized for this analysis is provided by Appendix B to this report. One Time Revenues One-time revenues are those received concurrent with development. Revenues are estimated for sales tax on construction. The Howard Street work district can be expected to generate an estimated $5.8 million in added one-time state and local jurisdiction tax revenues over the assumed 20-year period of development build-out. Over 70% of revenues would accrue to the State of Washington with the remainder to the City of Port Townsend and other local jurisdictions receiving sales tax revenues. On-Going Revenues On-going revenues are received annually as a result of property development and business operations. At build-out the work district is projected to yield an estimated $5.5 million annually in added property, business and occupation (B&O), and sales tax revenues to state and local jurisdictions. Property taxes are estimated based on close to $65 million of added fair market assessed valuation. After deducting for tax-exempt uses (at close to 10% of the district), resulting net added taxable valuation at build-out is estimated at $59 million. Approximately 11% of annualized revenues are estimated to come as property tax receipts and 30% as B&O tax—with the majority (59%) portion as sales tax revenue. Of the total annual revenue approaching $6.4 million, 18% would be realized by the City of Port Townsend, 13% by other local taxing jurisdictions, and the remaining 69% by the State of Washington. As noted, these revenues are estimated in current year(uninflated) dollars as of 20-year build- out. With development each year averaging 5% of build-out, the tax revenues realized after the first year of development would be about 5% of the 20-year total, the second year revenues would increase to 10% of the 20-year total, and so on. The pattern of development is likely to vary year-to-year from the long-term average— meaning that some years overachieve and others underachieve long-term expectations through an economic cycle. Consequently, monitoring of cumulative results will be more useful than either euphoria or concern about specific year outcomes.

Outcome measures also are useful to track for the City of Port Townsend and project partners. If performance (on a cumulative basis) is below expectations, policy and incentive options that might be useful for improving performance can be considered and implemented. Outcomes measures recommended for tracking within the geography of the Howard Street work district together with sources of needed monitoring data are identified as including: • Square footage of new building space developed (likely using assessor/GIS data but with improved recording of building square footages) • Type of use/occupancy— manufacturing, distribution, office, retail, other (likely requires customized monitoring in conjunction with the City Finance Department) • Employment (best provided via an agreement for aggregated proprietary data runs with WA-ESD) • Payroll and median wages (similarly dependent on intergovernmental agreement with WA-ESD including agreement to run median as well as average wage information) • Incomes of self-employed* (by monitoring annual county-wide data of the U. S. BEA) • Sales tax/ B&O tax revenues (also requiring customized monitoring in conjunction with the City Finance Department) • Property tax revenues (can be drawn from assessor/GIS database) * Note: Income data to be tracked on a county-wide basis. All other data items are proposed to be tracked based on the geographic boundaries of the Howard Street work district, as data can be compiled and reported by the sources indicated. Data compilation is proposed to occur consistent with agency reporting cycles on an annual basis. The City of Port Townsend will establish protocols that include designation of a City department with the overall responsibility for data collection and management together with interagency agreements involving Jefferson County and/or the State of Washington for data sets that are within their respective purviews. City business license data might also serve as a data resource, potentially supplementing or replacing ESD data needs to the extent that detailed employment and wage data could be provided. A consistently applied data collection process for a customized geography that is a sub- portion of the City depends on reaching protocols early on as to: the department of the city with overall reporting responsibility, agreements with participating county and state agencies, and agreement as to the reporting period (annually or otherwise) and duration of the monitoring activity.

It is about what promises you want to make, what you need to deliver on them, and how best to get word of them out to the world. Accordingly, this marketing strategy is divided into three sections: 1. Positioning: defining the promises and what makes Port Townsend and the Howard Street corridor different from competitors. 2. Planning: the features and benefits that will draw people and companies to this district, and how to go about putting these in place. 3. Promoting: how best to get organized and reach the customer, anticipating labor and other issues before they come up. 1 . POSITIONING Every good product, place and company stands for something that can be concisely communicated in a few simple words. Apple, for example, stands for elegance and ease of use, New York for "success" and Las Vegas for"sin". To many people, Port Townsend is a "Victorian seaport", a romantic recreation get-away, not a place to live and work, much less make things. If the City wants to attract talent and investment, it needs to put itself squarely in the 21st century as a productive center, a place with solid skills. This does not mean giving up its historic or nautical identity, but better communicating its expertise as well as its values of craft and craftsmanship. The map at left depicts a number of the smaller waterfront communities in Puget Sound that Port Townsend competes with for talent and investment. Notice that Tacoma and Kirkland are not on this map, because those are larger, more urban places. Everett is shown here because it has the potential to take more of Port rff /i%�, /i//% / Y✓ ✓mare«� Townsend's boat building business. It is not an attractive alternative now, but it could be if civic leaders there strengthen the center city.

E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 55 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 485 of 510 Anacortes, however, is an industrial town, the gateway highway leading in past refineries and tank farms, the north waterfront a shipyard with cranes and steel ships. The long commercial drag is not walkable nor does it have a definable center, with tourists turning left to the ferry before they reach the downtown. For most travelers, Anacortes is a not a destination but slow down in the rush to the ferry. "We Speak Craft" Port Townsend, on the other hand, is quite literally the end of the road, a destination unto itself for all but the handful of ferry riders waiting to go to Whidbey. Unfortunately most people see the boats in Boat Haven but do not know that there is an i � entire local industry involved in their construction and repair. To most visitors, Port Townsend is about the shops and restaurants downtown, Chetzemoka Park or the restaurants uptown, or events at Fort Worden, not about actually making i� things. And yet that craft and sense of craftsmanship is a defining In Port Townsend,there is a value for Port Townsend, not in the modern Joanne Fabrics fascination with the instruments of sense of hobbies and do-it-yourself projects, but in the Old craft as much as the final product. The craftsmen here include not only World sense of that which is thoughtfully made, in small world-class boat builders and number, with skill and an economy of material. That sense of designers, but knife makers and craftsmanship runs deep in both the local culture and local lutiers.This is not readily apparent business, often coupled with a lifestyle of voluntary simplicity, to outsiders. of"enough". It is more than coincidental that a number of people who design or make boats together also make music together, that the music store is an important gathering place. Beyond the sale of handmade jewelry, clothing and food, however, this sense of craftsmanship is often invisible to visitors. It is integral to the local identity, however, and it needs to be part of the marketing of the Howard Street Corridor. In terms of marketing Howard Street, the City needs to think beyond the small and handmade, and beyond food, fashions and furnishings. First, the modern conception of"craft manufacturing" now includes technology, especially the computer-controlled use of cutting tools. The word "craft" comes in with regards to quality and small job size. Second, there is limited potential for the development of"locally produced" consumer products. The area simply does not have the disposable income that supports these industries in larger, more urban places. An Invitation to Community Most communities sell the same two things: low cost and quality of life, even though "quality of life" means different things to different people. Further, they extend these invitations to all comers, as if everyone would be happy in those towns. There is very little that is affirmative E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 56 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 486 of 510 about these messages, about what differentiates these towns from a thousand and one like them. Port Townsend is a true city with a strong sense of community, and this needs to be part of the invitation to come live and work here. As a place, it has many of the things that distinguish larger cities, including a strong downtown, a local newspaper, a hospital, an airport, parks and museums, and a port. As a community, it also has live theater, a politically-aware citizenry, and gathering places like the Food Co-op. Using craftsmanship as the initial screen ("Do you share our values?"), the natural follow up statement is, "If so, come be one of us." There is a conditional to this coupling of messages that states, "We are not for everyone." To deliver on this promise, the City needs to do more to foster a sense of business community. There is a history of people moving to Port Townsend and not "sticking", of people opening a business here, traveling back and forth to SeaTac, and then quietly moving away. One way to overcome this is to work with the Chamber and similar groups to create more educational events where business people come together to discuss common solutions to challenges like finding affordable health care. This will help turn local people into the kind of"business ambassadors" needed to promote both the City and Howard Street. "We Have A Place For You" The greater Port Townsend area offers a variety of places to work, ranging from interesting but Ft, W61rdelndilapidated government buildings at Fort Worden and Point Hudson to steel and plastic covered Uptown sheds in Glen Cove and at Boat Haven. These places °( II�SJ vary in terms of image, access, exposure, cost and amenities. In several, it is impossible or very difficult to own your own property. Even where it is possible, in places like Glen Cove, the variability in at e'' ' property condition makes for uncertain 0,` appreciation in value. The property message in the Howard Street �Glen Cove, Corridor needs to be two-fold: 1) this will be a good place to practice your profession or operate your �, business day to day, and; 2) this will be a good Air or ock place to invest. Both of these will require that the City not simply divide this into yet another industrial subdivision, laying a standard zoning code over the top of the usual industrial uses, but instead plan for a true mix of uses. It means envisioning and planning a modern work district, one that will hold its value as these uses evolve. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 57 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 487 of 510 2s PLANNING For the last sixty years, people have worked in two kinds of buildings: warehouses and office buildings, usually in different places. In the last ten years, big cities have developed "innovation districts" like South Lake Union in Seattle and Mission Bay in San Francisco, but these are 10o�i essentially suburban business parks transplanted to the city, .� The old distinctions between blue with little variety or interaction between users. The really collar and white collar work are creative centers, however, the places that combine design, breaking down.Today the main technology and production are far more open and interesting distinction is unique technical and less controlled. expertise,which,in turn,drives wage levels. If Port Townsend wants this kind of place, a place where people are not only working on screens but laying their hands to material, then it needs to allow for a different kind of development, one which mixes and matches people and integrates them with their surroundings.18 Here are the kinds of things that can and should go here: • Craft consumer good production:This includes food, fashion and furnishings, such as Mt. Townsend Creamery, plus other manufacturers like Hansen Crafts. • Machining, manufacturing and specialty trades:This includes the machining of not only wood but metals, composites and ceramics. Local examples include Turn Point, Marketech, Atlas Technologies, and Thermionics. • Research, engineering and design:This includes firms like Tim Nolan Marine Design and Mobilisa. • Wholesaling and mail order:This includes firms like Vintage Hardware and Toland Home and Garden. Sometimes firms like these have a showroom that becomes a kind of mecca for devoted customers. • Business support services:This includes professions like law, accounting, tax, management consulting and web design. • Supplies and equipment:This includes firms like Edensaw, which sometimes become "exporters" in their own right. • Warehousing and storage:This includes storage both inside and outside. Many of the makers' spaces in other cities have started up in these kinds of buildings. • Amenities and services:These include coffee shops, copy stores, restaurants, gyms, yoga parlors, daycare centers, banks, trade schools, hobby spaces, medical clinics, occupational therapists, and car rental agencies. Note the last category: amenities and services. Almost every creative district on the West Coast started up with a coffee house as its business meeting place. In Yaletown in Vancouver this was Seattle's Best; in Pioneer Square, Zeitgeist; in the Pearl District of Portland, the Little Wing Cafe; and in West Berkeley the Tomate Cafe. E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 58 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 488 of 510 These places provide a place for client meetings over breakfast, team meetings at lunch, and a coffee break in mid- afternoon. Port Townsend has the makings of such a service center on Sims Way between the two roundabouts, but it needs urban design guidelines to make this place more walkable and interesting. The City's current zoning approach to the Howard Street Corridor is prescriptive when it could be proscriptive. Rather than listing what uses are allowed (a list that will almost always be out-of-date), the City could clearly simply state what uses are not allowed, and then regulate the activities of For the many independent trades everything else, controlling for noise, odor and light." people who work in Boat Haven, the Blue Moose is an important There are two additional caveats here: One is that the City place to gather leads about new needs to help "make a market" here, ensuring that there is an projects.These kinds of gathering adequate supply of land so that an interested purchaser can places and crossroads are an find an alternative if a dominant owner does not want to sell, important part ofthe face-to-face life of every goodd work district. or sell at a reasonable price. The second caveat is that the City needs to clearly write the intent of the work district into its planning and zoning documents, putting future users on notice that this place is for making things, and that they had better not complain too vociferously about morning truck deliveries or evening production runs. Performance zoning can help control for the effects of the latter. 3. PROMOTION There are currently five different local organizations responsible for economic development locally: the City, the County, the Port, the Chamber and Team Jefferson. Each has a different agenda and motivations, resulting in a crazy quilt of responses to new business prospects. To fill this district will require long and steady promotion. There needs to be one agent accountable for this, one without a conflict of interest in promoting a competing place. Whichever organization is in charge will need to act as both godparent and sales agent for the work district, protecting its interests locally and promoting it to outsiders. The first order of business is creating collateral materials that stress the themes of craftsmanship, community and a place to do business. These materials should include not only a brochure but an up-to- date website highlighting the modern, value-added businesses already in the area. This should provide the basis for a tour to take prospects on where to show them they will be in good company. Second, whichever organization promotes this corridor needs to be prepared to do so on a shoestring budget, focusing on prospects while they are in town for events like the Wooden Boat Festival or Fiddle Tunes. These are the people who have already spent money to come here, and some percentage among them are thinking about moving here. Within that subgroup there are people still working who are wondering what it would be like to move their E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 59 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 489 of 510 profession or business here. The City needs to reach out to these people, communicating with them while they are in town. That involves not only the preparation of collateral materials but also booths or other means of talking to them face to face. Third, the City needs to turn local business people into ambassadors who will promote the community when they are at industry conferences elsewhere. That will require defining, probably in print and at local events, what it means to be an ambassador, and the benefit to them of talking up the place. It also means first solving their problems with the city. In the course of our research, we heard of various problems with insufficient bandwidth, as well as unmet conditions of development agreements that made it more difficult to build. Real or perceived, these are issues that must be addressed, ideally through an ombudsman who is not in role of both promoting and regulating business. Fourth, other than the Wooden Boat School, the city lacks research and higher education institutions that provide a depth of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills. Peninsula College offers welding, but this is a thin offering that should be supplemented with machining, 3D drafting and other technology topics. The City should meet with other institutions to see what they need to expand locally. If possible, the City should develop a closer relationship with the Pacific Northwest National Lab in Sequim, the only real "high tech" lab in the area, which specializes in marine security, global warming and ocean energy. This could be a source of contracts for local firms,20 as well as internships for the more promising students. For marketing alone, this is important. Finally, the City needs to address the issue of labor quality head on. Two employers we spoke with said they have had to fire people because of drug and reliability issues. There is at least a perception that it is hard to find skilled and trained workers for mundane tasks. And yet one of the principals at the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op says that many of the people who work at Boat Haven are among the best and most dedicated in the industry, technical people with good problem-solving skills. A starting point is creating a labor exchange where Boat Haven craftsmen, sometimes underemployed, could put their skills to use in other industries. A second option is creating a SWOT team at the high school to link employers with the most promising grads. And a third is poaching, establishing a relationship between the local economic development authority and outplacement officers at the region's various military bases. Mobilisa has said that it has found good talent at Oak Harbor, another small waterfront community, and that it is now prospecting at Fort Lewis. Talent is the basis of the modern economy, so Port Townsend needs to be as mindful of finding good people as it is good companies. Port Townsend has a lot to offer, and can, in the long run, fill the Howard Street Corridor with good, skilled industries that make things, paying well above the median wage for the area. To do so, however, it needs to be more clear about its messages, who is in charge of its marketing, and about solving the practical problems of linking people up with good local talent and other businesses. It is not enough to provide the place; the City also needs to foster the ecosystem of business, redefining this as "craft" as necessary, bringing people together.

E.D.Hovee&Company, LLC and Spinnaker Strategies for City of Port Townsend: Howard Street Corridor Economic Feasibility Study ♦ Page 67 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 497 of 510 E N D NOTES 1 An example of a conundrum presented by the use table for the M/C zone is that"welding and fabrication" is a permitted use while"metal products manufacture,fabrication and assembly" is not permitted. Distinguishing between these activities may be challenging,especially for metals businesses engaged in a range of related and complementary business activities.A related issue is that while the City has provided for the possibility of M-III Heavy Manufacturing zone with its Zoning Code, no sites in the City currently have an M-III designation. 2 As an example,microbreweries are not allowed in the M/C zone although food and beverage processing is permitted. However,it is likely that a tasting room in association with the primary manufacturing of beer on- site could be construed as permissible. 3 The Port Townsend Business Park Planned Unit Development allows office/retail to occupy a maximum of 20% of gross buildable area on all PTBP lots. However,the current code no longer allows a PUD on land zoned M/C; this is suggested for re-consideration with this feasibility study. 4 Section 17.08.060 provides a definition that: "Regional retail establishment" means a large scale retail establishment planned,constructed,and managed as a total entity,with customer and employee parking provided on-site, provision for goods delivery separated from customer access. A regional retailer may accommodate a wide range of retail commodities(e.g.,apparel and accessories,food and sundries,consumer electronics, hardware, building materials,sporting goods and automotive supplies),occupies between 10 and 25 acres of land,and typically contains more than 100,000 square feet of gross floor area. It draws its clientele from as much as a 30-minute drive away. 5 Formula retail is defined by the Port Townsend Municipal Code as covering retail,dining and lodging with more than 14 establishments providing two or more"standardized" merchandise/menus,facades,decor, apparel,signage,and/or trademark/service mark. Formula businesses are limited in terms of such features as street frontage(50 feet), building floor area (3,000 square feet),drive-through facilities,street corner and stand-alone locations,and density of establishments per lot area.See Chapter 17.54 for added detail. 6 Information regarding both performance and form-based zoning can be obtained from the Municipal Research and Services Center(MRSC),web site Included are examples of applicable codes specific to municipalities in Washington state. The current Comprehensive Plan also notes that: "Standards for this type of PUD should allow variety in terms of the mixture of commercial and manufacturing uses, patterned after the Port Townsend Business Park PUD approved in 1993." s Jefferson County is cited by MRSC as a Washington state jurisdiction with performance and use-specific standards, per Jefferson County code Ch. 18.20. 9 Median age of the Hood River County population is 38.6 years—considerably below that of Jefferson County and offering a greater supply of technologically savvy,younger adult workers. 10 Vacation of the existing Howard Street right-of-way no longer needed due to a reconfigured street corridor will be subject to a waterline easement in the existing right of way. 11 Information is from the Mt.Townsend Creamery web site:www.mttownsendcreamery,com. 12 The 2007-08 preliminary industrial and commercial land inventory was conducted by Tetra Tech as subconsultant to E. D. Hovee&Company, LLC. No subsequent inventory update has been completed to date. 13 Expansion plans were assessed as part of a 2007 business needs questionnaire was distributed to 1,290 businesses throughout Jefferson County.The survey was conducted by E.

D. Hovee&Company, LLC for Jefferson County in 2007. 15 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used to classify establishments according to their primary industrial activity and serves as the method for reporting Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW)data by the State of Washington Employment Security Department.A counterpart but different way of classifying employment is by occupation rather than industry sector.The Bureau of Labor Statistics maintains the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)system. Currently,there is no identified cross-tab of industry-occupation data available at a county-level. 16 No specific transactions are currently known to be pending as of the date of this economic feasibility report. Looking to the future,it is unclear as to how much of the development will occur with existing owners and how much might be developed or otherwise purchased by entities without current ownership in the work district. 17 The Northwest Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing and Technology. Unlike the Wooden Boat School in Port Hadlock,which teaches only hull construction,the Anacortes school also teaches propulsion, electrical and other marine"systems". 1s There are examples of good creative centers in Seattle and San Francisco. South Park, in San Francisco,was one of the first of these in the 1970s,followed by China Basin in the 1980s. Today the Dogpatch, near the Potrero, is a hotbed of urban manufacturing. Across the Bay,West Berkeley is a lively mix of the old and new, while up the coast, in Portland,the Central Eastside has the same kind of mix. In Seattle, Pioneer Square, SODO and Georgetown are becoming the truly creative,face-to-face places to work. Elsewhere in the country, the list of creative centers includes Goose Island in Chicago,the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York,and Somerville in Boston. 19 For a good discussion of this see"Applications of Performance Zoning for Industrial Uses in Hanover County", Richmond Regional Planning District Commission, February 12,2001. zo Mobilisa is an example of a firm that appears to have relationships with the Pacific Northwest National Lab in Sequim.

Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. Chapter 4W-"The Land Use Element" and the Future Land Use Map establish land use designations and densities sufficient to accommodate the population growth expected to occur over the next 20 years.The Plan promotes higher density areas through the designation of Mixed Use Centers surrounded by distinct neighborhoods.The Plan encourages higher density retail, service businesses and multi-family residential development in areas where adequate transportation facilities, sewer,and water service already exist or are planned. ; Goat#2-Reduce Sprawl Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling low density development The Plan contains goals,policies and implementation strategies that encourage compact,efficient urban growth, and the phasing of growth within Port Townsend,through the use of"growth tiers."The Plan designates mixed use centers surrounded by higher density residential areas at five key locations throughout town.The Plan also connects lands with development constraints (e.g.,wetlands,drainage corridors,and steep slopes)with some of the City's remaining forested areas in an effort to create a City-wide system of interconnected open spaces and trails. One of the central objectives of the Plan is to attempt to retain the existing small town character of Port Townsend by encouraging new development in and around the mixed use centers,rather than dispersed widely throughout the City. , ff fffitt�6,2003)j. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 500 of 510 Goal#3-Transportation. Encourage efficient multi modal transortation gstems that are based on re *,ginalprzorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans. The Plan contains goals,policies and strategies that ensure coordination with local and regional transportation plans.The overall vision for Port Townsend's Transportation Element is to provide a safe,integrated, and efficient multi-modal transportation system that is consistent with the City's overall vision and that adequately serves anticipated growth. ttpgfffded The Plan accomplishes this by establishing mixed use,residential,and commercial land use designations that support multi-modal and transit-oriented development.The Plan establishes the framework for a City-wide,interconnected system of nonmotorized trails. Upon completion,the system would link neighborhoods with mixed use centers, employment centers,and parks and open spaces. Goal#4-Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of thepopulation of this state,promote a variety of residential densities and housing types;and encourage preservation of existing housing. The Plan contains a number of policies and implementation measures designed to address Port Townsend's affordable housing problem. First,housing densities ranging from four to 24 units per acre are directed to promote wider housing choices for a population diverse in age,incomes,and lifestyles.Approximately 105 acres of vacant and available land have been designated for moderate and higher density multi-family housing(i.e.,up to 16,and 17 to 24 units per acre). Second,the Plan directs that duplexes,triplexes and fourplexes be allowed in all single-family residential areas to promote affordability and a diversity of housing types.To further address affordability,the Plan directs that manufactured housing(i.e.,which meets the Federal Housing&Urban Development Code rather than the Uniform Building Code) be allowed in all single-family residential areas, provided that such homes meet the standards of the State Energy Code or its equivalent.Additionally,a density bonus system is recommended to facilitate the provision of housing to lower and moderate income Port Townsend households,and priority permit processing is offered to builders of affordable housing developments.The Plan also includes policies designed to facilitate the repair and maintenance of the City's existing housing stock. 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 disadvantagedpersons;and encouragegrorvth,all within the capacities of the state's natural resources,public services, andpublic facilities. The Plan designates significant areas within the City limits for commercial and manufacturing development. Many of these areas are already provided with a full range of urban services to facilitate development,or would be provided with these facilities within the 20 year planning horizon. One of the major emphases of the Plan is to address the current"jobs/housing imbalance"in Port Townsend and provide more "family-wage"jobs.An Economic Development Element has been included(see Chapter VIIl9) within the Plan to facilitate economic growth and development consistent with community and environmental values.The Economic Development Strategy stresses the importance of promoting our local training and education capabilities, and encouraging specific sectors of the local economy including: marine trades; small business and diversified,environmentally friendly manufacturing;and sustainable,year-round tourism.The Strategy also seeks to revitalize Port Townsend's Commercial Historic District and upgrade the Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 501 of 510 City's telecommunications infrastructure for the jobs of tomorrow. Updates included in the 2016 include provisions for the Howard Street/Discovery Road corridor subarea plan,envisioned as a mixed employment work district. Planned improvements will provide appro�mately 82.5 acres of fully served,employment land including shovel-ready industrial acreage with the potential to create 1,465 jobs (representing 12.8%of the current countywide labor force).The development of the Howard Street Corridor is part of a strategy to address as,yet unrecovered job loss from the Recession and match anticipated coup •wide population growth both currently, and over the next 20 years. 2&fii�wffge" jebs dtti4fig flie 20 yefff phtfifiifig kefii�efi. [Ofd. Ne,2879, 5 4.40, (Febfttfff�,7,2005); 0M. . 2825 R 2 2 rr,.r..,.v._i 200-3 Goal#6-Property Rights. Privateproperty shall not be taken forpublic use withoutjust compensation having been made.Thep roperty righty of landowners shall be protected from arbitrag and disaiminatog actions. The issues of property rights and timely and efficient permit processing have been important to Port Townsend's comprehensive planning process. Chapter W-4-"The Land Use Element"was developed with particular sensitivity to property rights issues. For instance,the Land Use Map includes a Potential Park and Open Space Overlay P/OS 4 "'F~ d4eems +L fedtteed ffeffi 8+e 4 titi4s pef ftefe (ie.,ffeffi ft ffiifiiffittffi le+sii�e ef 5,000 sq. ft. +e 40,000 sq. ft.).T-ke Plfffi Ase The 1996 Plan identified three primarLpproaches in the development of this network: outright purchase of kedproperties,incentives for landowners to cluster new development in areas outside, or on the margins,of open space areas,and reductions in allowable density.The City continues to work in partnership with other entities to purchase these areas in an effort to better manage stormwater runoff and limit the potential for future flooding. Existing substandard lots created prior to adoption of this Plan would be recognized. However,where two or more adjacent nonconforming lots of record are under one ownership,they would be considered "consolidated"into one building parcel. In addition, Chapter W4- "The Land Use Element," specifically directs that future implementing regulations respect the legal rights of private property owners, and that just compensation or "reasonable use exceptions"be provided in instances where application of the regulation would result in a legally defined "taking" of private property. Goal#7-Permits. Applications f for both state and local go vernmentpermitr should be processed in a tzmejandfair manner to ensure predictability. Local implementation of estate-wide regulatory reform legislation (i.e.,ESHB 1724,the SEPA/GMA/SMA Integration Act of 1995,now codified as Chapter 36.7013 RCW) has partially fulfilled the promise of this goal of the GMA.However,the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan also contains substantive Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 502 of 510 policy direction designed to promote responsive, efficient,and fair processing of local government permits. Separate policy subsections within Chapter 4-V-4- "The Land Use Element," Chapter-'V-5 - "The Housing Element,"and Chapter V111 9-"The Economic Development Element"propose strategies for streamlining the local land use permitting process. The Land Use Element specifically directs that the City maintain a centralized permit process that allows an applicant to apply for all needed approvals at once and for the simultaneous processing of all aspects of project approval.The Ci,r's adopted Development Code contains permit processing deadlines to ensure that applicants will be able to plan with greater certainty. Finally%the Plan contains policies intended to facilitate interjurisdictional coordination in the processing of permit applications Goat#8-Natural Resource Industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries, includingproductive timber, agricultural, and firberier industries. Encourage the conservation ofproductive forest lands andproductive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses. Because of Port Townsend's status as an urban growth area under the GMA,no agricultural,mineral,or forest "lands of long term commercial significance"have been identified or designated within the City. Only a small portion of the City's current land base is currently devoted to agricultural or forestry industries (approximately 75 acres of the City's total land base are considered"current use agriculture,"while fewer than 6 acres aize-were considered"current use timberlands"in 1996).Very few areas within the City contain"prime" agricultural soils suitable for farmtimfiing. Consequently,the Plan directs that natural resource lands be protected through a combination of public and private initiatives ranging from open space tax incentives to voluntary conservation easements.The Plan allows and encourages agricultural uses in the least developed portions of town, and directs that lower density residential areas allow certain agricultural uses"outright."Chapter 1*4-"The Land Use Element,"instructs the City to consider adopting a"right to farm" ordinance to protect agricultural uses in these areas.The Land Use Element also contains policies which would allow mineral resource extraction and timber harvesting within the City limits, subject to certain conditions. Finally,the Plan recognizes that some resource based industries TdA skeet d be leftmay be suited for areas outside of the City's UGA, and zoned for "resource-related" manufacturing uses.The Plan suggests that compatible light manufacturing and accessory commercial uses be located in the area west of the Glen Cove Mill site,inside the unincorporated Glen Cove LAMIRD. 7875 5 2 2 iT,.e__,..,.__i -2043 Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 503 of 510 Goal#9-Open Space&Recreation. Encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat,increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks. One of the organizing principles of the Plan is a City-wide system of interconnected open spaces and trails. When developed,this system would eeffip 4ii�complement many of Port Townsend's existing parks,green spaces and beaches,and provide a wide range of benefits including: • Opportunities for rest,views and contemplation and enjoyment of the natural environment; • Linking key wildlife habitat areas; • Helping to control surface water runoff and contributing to the City's "natural drainage systems" approach to stormwater management; and • Preserving community character. The system seeks to build upon the existing sections of the Waterfront Waterwalk,connecting the waterfront with a larger network of trails that lead to surrounding neighborhoods. Consistent with Chapter PJ-4-"The Land Use Element the Citv has adopted a Parks.Recreation and Open Space Functional Plan and a NonMotorized Transportation Plan 644q a 64 P644:JF:Z.d R ewefffie rlffsfev-Phtfi.These functional plans wettld add detail to the concepts outlined An this Comprehensive Plan,including funding options and level of service standards. Goat#10-Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water. As reduired by the GMA. the Citv of Port Townsend's Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) Rfi-effie~ „�_c„fis:t:-_„ o feffs (RSA) nva_fi,.fie„identifies and regulates to protect"critical areas!' fts feqtt4eel b7 fke GAIA. Originall�,adopted in November of 1992 as the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Ordinance,the ordinance has been periodica4 updated to reflect"best available science" (BAS). As part of the mandatory 2016 GMA update.the City conducted a review and evaluation of the CAO. As permitted by RCW36.70A. 1300 (a).the Cit plans to process mandator�: amendments in 2017. The CAO RSA Ofdi fffi regulates development in critical areasRSAs to avoid adverse impacts where possible,to reduce adverse impacts when avoidance is not feasible,and to compensate for adverse impacts.The ordinance defines and establishes standards for the protection of five types of areas:Aquifer Recharge Areas; Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas;Frequently Flooded Areas and Critical Drainage Corridors; Geologically Hazardous Areas;and Wetlands.In addition to the ESA Ordinance,the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains policy subsections which specifically address Natural Resource Lands & Environmentally Sensitive Areas,Water Quality&Management,and Air Quality&Management. rcdie RSA nva .The element also _ STT �,__JZ' Tmrrr_'rrn._ __ _.__,__fi__a ___ __ � directs the City to manage surface,ground, storm,waste,and coastal waters to ensure that Port Townsend's water resources are protected and preserved. Notably,the Water Quality&Management policies require the City to adopt and implement the Stormwater Management Manual f6r fke Pttgef Sottnel Region.The Air Quality &—Management.Climate Mitigation and Adaptation policies seek to promote coordination between local, state and federal air pollution control agencies which set standards and regulate polluting activities.This section also Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 504 of 510 includes policies to pursue citizen education efforts designed to 1A_--9U_- „ ..e,.+ie erre~+s elttje-9a ,f.,,a increase awareness of climate change and its associated challenges and encourage citizens to conserve energy and reduce air pollution emissions,especia4 automobile and wood smoke emissions. Goal#11-Citizen Participation&Coordination. Encourage the involvement of citi.Zens in the planningprocess and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile conflicts. Citizen participation has been one of the most important components of the local planning process.The Cit~ has codified a public participation process in the municipal code. For the initial 1996 Comprehensive Plan and subsequent major updates,the Citv elected to expand on the traditional workshops,hearings,and opportunities for written comment. Ordinance 2539 adopting the 1996 Comprehensive Plan documents over 1,400 hours of citizen discussion and more than 600 citizen responses to a questionnaire as part of the PT 2020 Coffee Hour. The product of this process was a report entitled"PT 2020: Getting Together-Final Report of Coffee Hour Process and Results."The City Council accepted the PT 2020 report as a guide to be used in the City's GMA planning efforts. As part of the 2016 Periodic Update,the Cit,~held a town meeting,conducted an online surrey,and launched "Speak-Up Port Townsend",an online discussion forum.Planning Commission held a series of ten (10) meetings to review proposed amendments aanuary 14—May 26,2016).The public was invited to submit written/verbal comment at each of the Planning Commission meetings. A series of companion discussion topics allowed for online interactive discussion. Public involvement eff r r in Chanter 11- "The Adoption Ordinance." Chapter 41--3 of the Plan includes a"Community Direction Statement"based largely on the results of the PTB: 2020 process and validated during the 2008 and 2016 Updates. Adopted by City Council resolution Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 505 of 510 following several community workshops,the Direction Statement emphasizes the importance of open and accessible City government.Additionally,the Land Use Element contains policies designed to promote informed and active citizen participation in City decision-making processes. These policies specifically address the appropriate use of the media in public participation efforts, and encourage the creation of neighborhood organizations to help citizens become effectively involved in City decision processes. Goat#12-Public Facilities&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 localjestablished,minimum standards. Chapter*4m-6 -"The Transportation Element," Chapter 7 "The Utilities Element"and Chapter 8*11 —"The Capital Fffei'�&Utilities RieffiefifF acilities Element," directly address this planning goal. "Level of service standards"for City-managed utilities and facilities are established within Chapters 7& U. th e C- _� Fffei-ies -- 4-U f.':+"s R4efi-��. The Capital Facilities chapter also establishes "concurrency" management policies.These policies direct the City to evaluate developments to ensure that they meet the City's adopted level of service standards for water,wastewater and stormwater facilities prior to building permit issuance;transportation facilities must meet adopted level of service standards within six years of building permit issuance.When adequate facilities are not available concurrent with new development,the Plan directs the City to lower the adopted level of service standards,modify the land use plan, seek additional sources of revenue,or pursue a combination of these options. Goat#13-Historic Preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites and structures that have historical or archaeological significance. fie-Chapter 444-3 of the Plan - "Community Direction Statement,"recognizes the importance of Port Townsend's historic past. In addition, Chapter 4"Tthe Land Use Element" „rte contains a policy subsection that directly addresses historic and cultural preservation.The policies direct the continued use of the Historic Preservation Committee for all mandatory design reviews of developments within the Historic District. Policy statements have also been included to encourage the retention of significant historic and cultural resources by: • Promoting the adaptive reuse of the upper floors of historic structures in the downtown area; • Exploring options for seismically retrofitting significant historic structures; and • Establishing historic preservation guidelines to govern the demolition of historic structures more than 50 years old. The Plan provides a framework for action and will ensure the preservation of historic and archeological resources in Port Townsend. Goat#14—Shorelines For shorelines of the state, the goals and 4olicies of the shoreline management act as set forth in RCW1'90.58.020 are added as one o f the goals of this chatter as set forth in RCW1'36.70A.020-without creating an order o f Prio rt among the,ourteen goals. This goal is addressed in the Land Use Element under"Shoreline Management Act Goals &Policies” and within the City's 2007 Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Consistent with RCW 36.70A.580 the goals and aolicies of the SMP shall be considered an element of the Citfs eComprehensive PPlan,and development regulations shall be considered part of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 506 of 510 CONSISTENCY WITH THE COUNTY-WIDE PLANNING POLICY The GMA requires that counties planning under the Act adopt County-Wide Planning Policies in cooperation with the cities within the county.The County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County (CWPP) was developed and adopted by Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend in December of 1992 with minor amendments in subsequent -_The CWPP is to be used as a framework for the Port Townsend and Jefferson County Comprehensive Plans,to ensure that the plans are consistent with each other. The policies also establish a foundation for determining consistency of individual plans with the requirements of the Growth Management Act,and provide direction to coordinate the provision of public facilities and services throughout the community. The City of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan has been evaluated for consistency with the CWPP and is found to be substantially consistent with the policies. The following discussion briefly summarizes how the Comprehensive Plan elements are consistent with the CWPP. Policy#1. Policy to Implement RCW 36.70A.110-Urban Growth Areas. By mutual agreement,the County and City have prepared and adopted a Joint Population Forecast and Allocation for use in Growth Management planning(County Resolution 55-03). Chapter 4"The Land Use Element" concludesd that Port Townsend's current corporate limits contain enough undeveloped land suitable for residential uses to accommodate 100%of the population allocated to the City under the adopted population forecast.To address a-A shortage of adequate infrastructure for commercial and manufacturing development.the 2016 Update includes provisions for a Howard Street Corridor Subarea Plan.The development of the Howard Street Corridor is part of a strategy to address ash unrecovered job loss from the Recession. ftfia ffigelifffi6eioff+ee1 4e1e_ _..',.6e V +k bedi ettffefi ra die r +20_ +4 widiifi tete C4 1i ffli 7875i -2(443 Policy#2. Policy on the Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and the Provision of Urban Services to Such Development.

Chapters 7 &8 44e C=ffpi+ft1F ffeil+"s 4-U+ilit s p'''er~e~+would require that new development: • Meet the adopted level of service standards for water,wastewater,stormwater,and transportation facilities as a condition of project approval; and • Contribute a proportionate share towards the construction of new capital improvements.Policies within the Capital Facilities &Utilities Elements require the design capacity for most capital facilities to be based on the total population projected for the UGA at the end of the 20-year planning period. f-ei Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 507 of 510 Additionally,the Capital Facilities 4_U till+ s Element includes policies on growth tiering to ensure -ftrx4 the provision of urban public services and facilities--that are consistent with and sWi2ort the growth and development patterns established in the Land Use Element.G~e"k wettid 13„ difeef„a i~f_ f�~_P_� f~St Finally,policies are included within Chapters W4,_7&8, --Land Use Elefta3d0haP+ef V11 Utilities and!IT-I+e Capital Fffei'�&utich address water quality and conservation. Policy#3. Policy on Joint County and City Planning within Urban Growth Areas. At the time of this writing. Port Townsend's city limits define the urban growth boundary. There is no unincorporated UGA with which to conduct joint planning within Jefferson County. However,if the City's UGA is expanded then the City and the County should engage in the joint planning and permitting activities outlined in county-wide planning policy#3. , Policy#4. Policy on the Siting of Essential Public Facilities of a County or State-Wide Significance. Chapter 4."The Land Use Element" includes `ke ae fiei ei 400licy to ensure appropriate siting essefitizaof essential public facilities found in the County-Wide Planning Policy.A44e#gh T+he County and+lie City have ee+ye+developed specific joint siting criteria for essential public facilities. In 2005,these criteria were codified in the Port Townsend Municipal Code Chapter 17.5 , Fffe:,�&T T�� ,� R -Nothing in the City's Comprehensive Plan would prohibit the location of essential public facilities within Port Townsend. Policy#5. Policy on County-Wide Transportation Facilities and Strategies. Chapter Nq-6 -"The Transportation Element," emphasizes local transportation needs.This element includes specific linkages with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and is consistent with the RTP.The level of service standards for highways,arterials,and transit routes have been coordinated and adopted at a county-wide level;consequently,the Transportation Element and Capital Facilities&Utilities elements employ a"regionally coordinated-level of service standard D" for roadways within the Port Townsend UGA. One of the central themes of the Plan is to encourage a"pedestrian friendly"City which is less dependent upon the automobile. Chapter Pv--4- "The Land Use Element," and Chapter V1--6 - "The Transportation Element," emphasize and support public transit and nonmotorized forms of transportation.The Land Use Element seeks to establish a City-wide network of open spaces and trails which is linked to the nonmotorized transportation network outlined in the Transportation Element. Policies included within the Transportation Element have been designed around the following principles: • Increasing the efficiency of the existing transportation system; • Emphasizing the movement of people and goods first, and vehicles second; • Integrating nonmotorized transportation modes and high occupancy vehicles in system design; Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 508 of 510 • Encouraging employers to implement Transportation Demand Management techniques; and • Assuring that new development pays a proportionate share of the cost of new transportation facilities. Consistent with CWPP #5.9,a summary of existing conditions information and an analysis of system deficiencies was also prepared and included in the 2016 GMA Update Policy#6. Policy on the Provision of Affordable Housing. Both Chapter 1*4-"The Land Use Element,"and Chapter V-5-"The Housing Element,"include policies and land use designations intended to promote the provision of affordable housing.The Housing Element beefs includes policies which direct that higher density areas be located in proximity to public facilities and services,and jobs. In an effort to promote a wider range of housing types and mixtures,the Housing Element allows duplexes, triplexes,and fourplexes to be constructed in all single-family residential areas.The Plan also allows manufactured housing to be located on individual lots in most single-family residential areas. • The Housing Element includes an affordable housing strategy which recommends the use of innovative techniques to encourage lower cost housing. Several of the 1996 strategies have been implemented(e.g._ accessory dwelling units,increased zoning for multi-family development.—density bonuses;and impact and system development charge (SDC)waivers_; The 2016 GMA update recommends the City consider additional techniques including micro-apartments,zero-lot line development, and more flexible parking requirements. Finally,policies have been included within the Housing Element which direct the City to work with Jefferson County to establish a"Fair Share" distribution methodology for affordable and special needs housing. Policy#7. Policy on County-Wide Economic Development and Employment. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan includes an Economic Development Element (see Chapter VIII9) with major areas of emphasis including:training/education;marine trades;diversified manufacturing and small "clean"business including cottage/home businesses; sustainable year-round tourism,community retail, commercial historic district revitalization,and telecommunications infrastructure.The Element is intended to create at least 2,700 "family wage"jobs within the next 20 years. [Ord. No. 2825, § 3.3, (January 6,2003)]. Policy#8. Policy on Rural Areas. This policy is not directly applicable to the Port Townsend's planning efforts. However,Chapter 7 "The Utilities Element"&8 3vZ41—"The Capital Facilities 6 r +mss Element,"includes policies intended to promote cooperation with Jefferson County in containing urban growth within appropriately designated and served UGAs.The policies strive to ensure that commercial and manufacturing areas outside of UGAs: • Are rural in character; • Are served at a rural level of service;and • Do not accommodate businesses that would compete with uses in the UGAs. Policy#9. Policy on Fiscal Impact Analysis. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit B Page 509 of 510 Fiscal impacts are addressed through Chapter 7"The Utilities Element"&8 "The Capital Facilities E ement,"F�p_�VII —"T–„ C=ffp:+,7 R,,:4fies sT676es R7effi fit n Chapter Pv--4- "The Land Use Element," has been coordinated with the Utilities and Capital Facilities Elements&U614ies and other elements of the Plan. The assessment includes projected revenues and expenditures,and an analysis of the fiscal impacts of providing governmental services to accommodate the projected population growth. Numerous incentives and nonregulatory options (e.g., density bonuses,priority permit processing,open space tax incentives, etc.) have been identified as alternatives to regulatory programs in the implementation of Comprehensive Plan policy. Finally,Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend have the option of developing interlocal agreements to address the issues of tax revenue sharing and the provision of regional services if an unincorporated UGA is designated adjacent to Port Townsend and if annexation occurs in this area. , )- Policy#10. Policy on Use,Monitoring,Review and Amendment. The County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County has been used consistently in the development of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.

A. Mixed Use Districts. The general purposes of the mixed use districts are as follows: 1. 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 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-1/MU—Neighborhood Serving 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 of multistory structures, with multifamily residential units above, at a density of up to 16 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 three locations in the city: the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; and the San Juan and F Street intersection.

A. The general purposes of the commercial districts are as follows: 1. To provide appropriate commercial areas for retail and service establishments, neighborhood convenience and office uses required by residents of the city in a manner consistent with the comprehensive plan; 2. To provide employment opportunities for existing and future residents of the city and those of adjacent communities; 3. To provide for land uses which meet the needs of local populations and attract populations located throughout the northeastern Olympic Peninsula; 4. To provide adequate space to meet the needs of commercial development, including off-street parking and loading; 5. To protect commercial and adjacent areas from excessive noise, illumination, unsightliness, odor, smoke, and other objectionable influences; 6. To provide for an intensity of development and activity within commercial areas which will increase their vitality, facilitate transit, and make better use of available infrastructure; 7. To accommodate a balanced mix of commercial, residential, and recreational uses in commercial areas which will enable people to live, shop, work, and play within walking distance; thereby reducing dependence on motor vehicles and potentially reducing traffic congestion, energy consumption, and air pollution. B. The purpose of each commercial district is as follows: 1. C-I—Neighborhood Commercial. This is an exclusively neighborhood commercial district,providing convenience shopping and small retail establishments which offer a limited range of goods and services within a residential neighborhood. The district allows for the retailing of neighborhood commodities and the provision of neighborhood professional and personal services. It should be located not less than one-half mile from another neighborhood commercial district, or any other commercial district providing similar services or facilities. Neighborhood commercial districts are intended to have a maximum Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 2 of 13 size of no more than one acre. The size, scale, and expansion of such areas should be limited in order to minimize traffic volumes and congestion and other adverse impacts on the neighborhood in which these districts are located. The C-I district has been applied to eeet1t:8- c*r�-od the southwest corner of the intersection of Kearney and 19th Streets. 2. C-II—General Commercial. This district accommodates a wide range of general commercial usesv,�,ieh se e a leen ,.;t.. ,ide m ar-ket . This district provides for those commercial uses and activities which are most heavily dependent on convenient vehicular access, and is located on sites having safe and efficient access to major transportation routes. Uses allowed within this district include retail businesses,professional offices, hotels, restaurants, and personal services shops. Upper-story residential uses are permitted outright. This district occupies more area of the city than any other commercial district, and occurs in various locations along Sims Way, Washington Street and Water Street, and in the triangular area bounded by SR 20 to the south, Howard Street to the east, and Discovery Road to the northwest. 3. C-II(H)—Hospital Commercial. This district permits the clustering of interrelated and complementary health care facilities. This district accommodates medical clinics, offices, pharmacies, nursing homes, and other medical-related uses in areas close to major medical facilities. Accessory or supporting uses which provide convenience services primarily to medical facility users and employees are also allowed. This district occurs in areas near Jefferson General Hospital, between Sims Way and 11th Street, and the Kah Tai Care Center on the west side of Kearney Street. 4. C-III—Historic Commercial. This district is intended to accommodate the mix of uses that have occurred over time in the city's downtown and uptown historic districts. The district makes provision for general retail uses on the ground floor of structures, and promotes a mix of uses on the upper floors of historic buildings, including: residences; artist and craft studios; and professional offices. The district is intended to permit development of a scale, type, height, and bulk which reinforces the city's historic character, buildings,places, and street layout. It is designed to promote pedestrian-oriented land uses and design consistent with the character of the city's historic districts. (Ord. 2825 § 4, 2003; Ord. 2716 § 4.6, 1999; Ord. 2571 § 2, 1997). 17.20.020 Permitted, conditional and prohibited uses —Limitations on use. A. Table 17.20.020 identifies land uses in the commercial zoning districts that are permitted outright(P), subject to a conditional use permit(C), subject to the specific conditional use requirements for uses in commercial historic structures contained in PTMC 17.84.060 (H), prohibited (X), or not applicable(N/A). However, notwithstanding the fact that a use may be permitted outright, additional permits maybe required for certain projects. Uses not specifically identified within Table 17.20.020 are deemed to be contrary to the interests of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Port Townsend and shall be prohibited. B. Requirements for the uses identified in Table 17.20.020 which are contained within other provisions of this title are referenced under the heading "applicable regulations/notes," although this should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all provisions of this title which may apply to any given use. Specifically, the provisions of Chapter 17.72 PTMC, Off-Street Parking Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 3 of 13 and Loading, and Chapter 17.76 PTMC, Signs, shall apply to all uses, even if not noted in Table 17.20.020. C. Lighting Requirements in Commercial Zoning Districts. Where lighted signs and illuminated areas are permitted, such illuminating devices shall be shaded and directed so as not to provide glare toward any residential district (i.e., R-I, R-II, R-III and R-N). D. Incidental uses which are identified in this title as prohibited or conditional uses within the applicable zoning district shall be considered conditional and processed in accordance with Chapter 20.01 PTMC subject to the approval criteria codified in Chapter 17.84 PTMC.

Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 1 of 17 EXHIBIT F Chapter 17.22 MARINE-RELATED AND MANUFACTURING ZONING DISTRICTS Sections: 17.22.010 Purposes. 17.22.020 Permitted, conditional and prohibited uses —Limitations on use. 17.22.030 Bulk, dimensional and density requirements. 17.22.010 Purposes. A. The general purposes of the marine-related and manufacturing districts are as follows: 1. To permit a variety of manufacturing and marine-related uses in limited and appropriate areas, which if located elsewhere would be unacceptable; 2. To protect residential and other nonmanufacturing and nonmarine areas from adverse and damaging impacts emanating from manufacturing-type or marine-related activities; 3. To protect manufacturing and marine-related areas from other uses that may interfere with the purpose and efficient operation of these areas; 4. To promote economic diversification and provide for employment opportunities for present and future residents; 5. To protect the viability of water-dependent manufacturing enterprises by ensuring adequate and appropriate areas for locating marine-related activities. B. The purposes of each specific manufacturing and marine-related district are as follows: 1. M/C—Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial. This district accommodates small-scale manufacturing businesses, along with associated and subordinate on-site retailing. 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. 2. M-I—Light Manufacturing. The M-I district provides for light manufacturing,processing, fabrication, and assembly of products and materials, warehousing and storage, and transportation facilities. This district has not been applied to any areas within the city, although it may be appropriate for portions of the Glen Cove area. Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 2 of 17 3. M-11(A) (Boat Haven)—Marine-Related Uses. This district accommodates a variety of uses including marina, recreational boating, manufacturing, assembly, haul out, and repair. The M-IIA district occurs primarily on port-owned lands at the Boat Haven. It is intended for larger scale and more intensive water-dependent or marine-related uses at the Boat Haven. Uses within the district that also lie within the jurisdiction of the Port Townsend shoreline master program (i.e., within 200 feet of the shoreline) are subject to the policies and standards of both this title and the Port Townsend shoreline master program. 4. M-11(B) (Point Hudson)—Marine-Related Uses. Similar to the M-IIA district, this district accommodates a variety of marine-related uses, but on a less intensive scale, appropriate to Point Hudson. This district promotes mixed use projects which incorporate water-oriented uses, consistent with the historic, marine-related character of the area. Within certain eligible buildings, a limited range of non-water-oriented uses are allowed as a means to promote adaptive reuse of the original Point Hudson Station buildings. Uses within this district that also lie within the jurisdiction of the Port Townsend shoreline master program (i.e., within 200 feet of the shoreline) are subject to the policies and standards of both this title and the Port Townsend shoreline master program. 5. M-III—Heavy Manufacturing. The M-III district accommodates heavy manufacturing activities including processing, fabrication, assembling of products or materials, and bulk storage. This district is intended to provide for the continuation and development of heavy manufacturing enterprises in locations where they will be compatible with other similar uses, and which do not negatively impact adjacent land uses. This district has not been applied to any areas within the city, although it may be appropriate for portions of the Glen Cove area. An example includes, but is not limited to, the Port Townsend Paper Mill. (Ord. 2945 § 5.6, 2007; Ord. 2825 § 4, 2003; Ord. 2571 § 2, 1997). 17.22.020 Permitted, conditional and prohibited uses —Limitations on use. A. Table 17.22.020 identifies land uses in the marine-related and manufacturing zoning districts that are permitted outright (P),permitted in the M-11(A) and M-11(B) zoning districts if marine-related(M), subject to a conditional use permit(C),prohibited(X), or not applicable (N/A). However, notwithstanding the fact that a use may be permitted outright, additional permits may be required for certain projects. Uses not specifically identified within Table 17.22.020 are deemed to be contrary to the interests of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Port Townsend and shall be prohibited. Marine-related uses are the goods and services which are primarily intended to support boating, sailing, water sports, marine research, or similar activities. B. Requirements for the uses identified in Table 17.22.020 which are contained within other provisions of this title are referenced under the heading "applicable regulations/notes," although this should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all provisions of this title which may apply to any given use. Specifically, the provisions of Chapter 17.72 PTMC, Off-Street Parking and Loading, and Chapter 17.76 PTMC, Signs, shall apply to all uses, even if not noted in Table 17.22.020. C. Limitations on Use—Buffering Requirements. All sites in marine-related and manufacturing districts (i.e., M/C, M-I, M-II, M-11(A), M-11(B) and M-III)having a common boundary with Ordinance 3154 Exhibit Page 3 of 17 residential districts (i.e., R-I, R-II, R-III and R-N) shall have planted and maintained along such common boundary a view-obscuring greenbelt of shrubs, trees and native vegetation, which will grow to not less than eight feet in height nor less than 10 feet in width within five years, for screening purposes and controlling access. D. Limitations on Use—General Requirements. Marine-related and manufacturing uses shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. Noise. In all marine-related and manufacturing districts (i.e., M/C, M-I, M-II, M-II(A), M-II(B) and M-III), the construction and operation of facilities and uses shall follow best management practices so as to minimize unnecessary conflicts with and impacts to adjacent non-industrial land or water uses to the extent practicable given the intended use and zoning. Also see PTMC 9.09.040(D) for exemptions applicable to the M-II(A) and M-II(B) zoning districts. 2. Light and Glare. Exterior lighting shall not be used in such a manner that produces glare on public streets or roads and neighboring property. Arc welding, acetylene torch cutting or similar processes shall be performed so as not to be seen from any point beyond the outside of the property. 3. Fire and Safety Hazards. a. The storage and handling of inflammable liquids, liquefied petroleum gases and explosives shall comply with rules and regulations falling under the jurisdiction of the city fire chief, the laws of the state and other local ordinances; b. Bulk storage of inflammable liquids below ground shall be permitted, and the tank shall be located not closer to the property line than the greatest dimension (diameter, length, or height) of the tank. 4. Interferences. Provisions must be made for necessary shielding or other preventive measures against interferences occasioned by mechanical or electrical equipment, uses or processes with electrical apparatus in nearby buildings or land uses. 5. Waste Products. Liquid and solid wastes, storage of animal or vegetable waste which attract insects or rodents or otherwise create a health hazard shall be prohibited. No waste products shall be exposed to view from eye level from any property line in a marine-related or manufacturing district (i.e., M/C, M-I, M-II, M-II(A), M-II(B) and M-III). E. Incidental uses which are identified in this title as prohibited or conditional uses within the applicable zoning district shall be considered conditional and processed in accordance with Chapter 20.01 PTMC subject to the approval criteria codified in Chapter 17.84 PTMC.
