PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, in 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture declared that a special day be set
aside for the planting of trees; and
WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more
than a million trees in Nebraska; and Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the
world; and
WHEREAS, the City of Port Townsend is a Tree City USA partner committed to effective
urban forestry management; and
WHEREAS, trees are a source of carbon mitigation. Trees buffer our carbon footprint.
They store carbon on timescales relevant to climate change. We need them at least as much as
they need us; and
WHEREAS, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut
heating and cooling costs with urban canopy, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce
life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife; and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for
our hearths, and countless other wood products; and
WHEREAS, the Arbor Day Foundation and Tree City USA promote the concept of'No Net
Loss', so that when trees are lost in a community, they are replaced with 'The Right Tree For The
Right Place'; and
WHEREAS, trees, parks, trails and open space in our city beautify our community;
enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and increase property values; and
WHEREAS, trees are a source of joy and renewal; and
WHEREAS, autumn is the recommended time to plant trees in our climate and the
Governor has declared the month of October to be Urban and Community Forestry Month;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David J. Faber, Mayor of the City of Port Townsend, do hereby
proclaim October 8, 2023 as
Arbor Day
and urge everyone to plant trees for urban canopy, to produce oxygen, and to promote the
well-being of this and future generations.

PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the freedom to read is essential to our democracy, and reading is among our
greatest freedoms; and
WHEREAS, privacy is essential to the exercise of that freedom, and the right to privacy is
the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized
by others; and
WHEREAS, the freedom to read is protected by our Constitution; and
WHEREAS, some individuals and groups work to remove or limit access to library
materials, to censor content in schools, to label "controversial" views, and to purge libraries
of materials reflecting the diversity of society; and
WHEREAS, the fear of censorship cause authors who seek to avoid controversy to practice
self -censorship, thus limiting our access to new ideas and voices; and
WHEREAS, Americans can be trusted to exercise critical judgment, to make their own
decisions about what they read and believe, and to exercise the responsibilities that
accompany this freedom; and
WHEREAS, intellectual freedom is essential to the preservation of a free society and a
creative culture; and
WHEREAS, the American Library Association's Banned Books Week: Celebrating the
Freedom to Read is observed during the first week of October this year as a reminder to
Americans not to take their precious freedom for granted; and
WHEREAS, that the City of Port Townsend Public Library encourages free people to read
freely, now and forever:
NOW, THEREFORE, 1 David J. Faber Mayor of the City of Port Townsend do hereby
proclaim October 1-7, 2023 as Banned Books Week.

City Manager Report: Top 5 Summary
October Z 2023
1. My Absence this evening.
Just a reminder that I'm currently at the ICMA conference in Austin. I'll be meeting with the WA and
OR city managers group (at the same time as the City Council meeting), taking in the top notch sessions
each day, scouting for talent, and making a presentation of my own as a conference speaker. I return
to PT on Wednesday evening.
2. Community Coffee happening this week.
I'm meeting all -comers at the Marina Caf6, this Friday, October 6, at gam. People should feel free to
just drop in or come with ideas, perspectives or questions, and be prepared to engage in dialogue with
me and other residents.
3. Fort Worden PDA MOA signed and new director onboard.
I've signed the MOA with the PDA and State Parks and I believe the new Executive Director, Celeste
Tell, will be signing this week. Today is her first day in the role and we're eager to work together to
overcome challenges and get the Fort on track. The board nomination committee is meeting next
week to begin interviewing candidates. Anyone interested in serving on the PDA board can apply
online via our website or get in touch with me to learn more.
4. Pool report out with briefing soon.
The final Healthier Together report is out (ha !" ) and elected members for each partner organization
will be receiving briefings, including you at the 10/16 City Council meeting. The County BOCC received
a briefing from Carrie Hite on 9/25 and all partner agency administrators/CEOs were present and
contributed to the briefing. Once other partners have been briefed, it'll go back to the County to make
a decision since this initiative is regional with impacts and opportunities far beyond where the facility
may be built. A sampling of key facts:
• The current 60 -year-old pool is likely to fail (again) and won't be able to be retrofitted or
repaired for much longer.
• We're targeting state, federal, and philanthropic resources to help pay for a modest facility,
sited adjacent to the current pool.
• Any rebuild will also require a vote of the people to help pay for it. The favored option is a
"Public Facilities District" that levies a sales tax that would also draw investment from visitors
to PT. We estimate this would cost between $10-40 a year for each resident. Nothing has
been decided, but it's likely to be on the ballot mid -2024 at the earliest.
• We currently subsidize the pool operations by up to $400,000 a year.
S. Library turns 110 next week.
It might be hard to believe but the Carnegie Library turns 110 years old next week! Come to the library
to celebrate an open house style birthday party. Enjoy live music, library themed crafts, and light
refreshments. The party will be in the Carnegie Reading Room from 3:00-5:00pm on Friday, October
E=rig nds r..f t!ie IPr..art..FowN�s� send LibN��r for their generous sponsorship of the event.

Dear Port Townsend City Council,
Thank you for your considerable efforts to create an inclusive process for all who wish
to do so to provide their input regarding the future of the public golf course. Thank
you also for your dedication and stewardship of our resources in finding the best path
for the future of that shared land.
I support making the golf course property more accessible to the general public. I
support a plan that respects the desires of those who participated earlier in the
process. For our changing town to thrive it needs investment in a broad spectrum of
amenities and opportunities that can serve a broadly diverse population.
Thank you for your service to our community.

Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2023 3:54:55 PM
I happened to see in the Leader that the council intends to decide whether or not to spend more
money we don't have tonight on the golf course debacle.
I want to add my voice to the dissenters. We don't need it and many of us throughout the
county do not wish to continue to fund the pet projects of Port Townsend, which includes the
proposed aquatic center that we cannot afford.
Instead I'd ask that you start to show fiscal accountability for the existing failed projects
[Cherry Street comes to mind] before adding another to the pile pushing the city and county
closer to bankruptcy.

CAUTION: External Email
To Pt Townsend City Council
Please steer away from selling off municipal/public land to build housing. I'm aware some of the golf course land
was deeded to the city for municipal purpose and some without restrictions, but in good conscious unrestricted land
use doesn't mean it should be sold and privatized. Yes, we have a housing crisis, but we also have a public land
shortage.
We have amended zoning to open tip for density and the city is working on work force housing via Evans Vista
meanwhile some of the non motorized trails are being paved over and turning into streets and private driveways.
Please keep golf course land public land.
Please see the PRTTAB comments about building housing on the golf course land. Keep land as a golf course or
open it tip as a park for more access, but please don't privatize public land. Thanks for reading.

I wish I could believe you, but after the last decade of local leadership, I'll reserve judgment
until I see actions align with that sentiment. After all, words are cheap. Especially given the
amount of money the city has already spent on planners and to come up with various proposals
that didn't really reflect what our small community needs or even wants, or in the case of the
proposal for the aquatic center from the company out of Colorado where they didn't even seem
to understand we're essentially landlocked so available patron population is exceptionally
limited given both geographically and due to the lack of businesses to bring in younger
families.
I also see that the city intends to focus on putting in low cost housing on the golf course
grounds within a few years [reducing the size of the golf course] rather than using other city
owned land which would be easier to build upon. Will there be any accountability for the
Cherry Street fiasco? Since it's come out that it was known in advance about the asbestos and
overall condition of the structure prior to purchase. Plus how a local developer offered to take
care of the mess and was rejected by the city.

Thankyou foryour email, Jon.
We had a great meeting this last Monday regarding the future of the golf course. One of
the key council priorities was actually to avoid having the city spend much money (or
any at all) if possible, and we seem to have landed a longer-term result that avoids
significant public expenditures, while simultaneously increasing the public benefits of
the golf course. You can watch the deliberations and action

Additionally, the City is indeed attempting to address Cherry Street, with action
hopefully (depending upon some factors) coming in the next months, and the city
embarked on a financial sustainability initiative last year that was an attempt to
holistically analyze the city's budget, long-term financial trends, community needs and
demands, city capacity, and our available options. Thus far, that initiative has resulted
in a number of exciting new approaches that should hopefully find us turning the
proverbial corner on our failing streets and addressing levels of service for a variety of
failing community resources. These things will unfortunately take quite a bit of time to
accomplish (starting now on reversing the trend with our failing streets will take
perhaps 20+ years to be "completed"), but your concerns are close to the hearts &
minds of city staff and council.
Thankyou.
Best,

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

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

On 08/15/2022I was involved in a security detail at Port Townsend City Hall, at 250 Madison Street.
At 18:03hrs Port Townsend PD Officers and Washington State Patrol Troopers moved into the protest crowd to
break up a reported physical altercation. I was following Officer Sharif (718) when he observed the subject that
was instigating and pushing into others at the protest. Due to the crowd and my position, I did not observe an
altercation at the time, however Officer Sharif did see the subject in question pushing an elderly demonstrator.
Once the subject in question was alerted to our presence, he got up and ran from Officer Sharif who tried to give
chase. I was behind Officer Sharif at this time and observed Ryan S. Harris reach out of the crowd and grab
Officer Sharif by the left side of his vest, slowing Officer Sharif. This hindered and delayed Officer Sharif from
detaining the initial subject. I, Officer Stanton, only observed the incident where Officer Sharif was grabbed by
Harris.
Harris was subsequently arrested for grabbing Officer Sharif by myself and Officer Titterness and taken to the
west side of the Elevated Ice Cream building for hand off to the County Deputies. Harris was transported to
Jefferson County Jail by JCSO and booked for assault 3 and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer.
The facts of alleged criminal activity took place in Port Townsend, WA at: 627 Water St.
I certify, or declare, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington in the County of Jefferson that the foregoing is true
and correct. Furthermore I declare under penalty of perjury that I am a law enforcement officer and that in making this declaration I

I just want to let you know how much I like the new edge lane road setup on 49th
mostly ride through there and it feels much safer. The drivers of cars are taking it
seriously.
I also appreciate the sandwich boards with information that have been placed along
the road. I stopped to check one of them out so I knew better how to work with the

SUMMARY STATEMENT: Staff previously presented a plan to upgrade the audio-

is no longer able to assist with the project. Staff researched additional solutions and
determined that the most cost-effective and efficient solution was an upgrade of our
existing Justice Audio Visual Solutions cameras and microphones. This upgrade will
purchase new microphones, including separate microphones for each Council Member
and two new microphones at the staff table, as well as five new high definition cameras
and two additional speakers in the City Council Chambers.
This upgrade will also require a small upgrade to our Granicus system (the system that
streams to the website) in order to stream and store higher definition video.
This, along with the purchase of new chairs, is the final part of the Chambers upgrade.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
There are two priority projects that have been identified for 2023 at the Port Townsend
Library. The first project was approved by Council in June of 2023 for the replacement
of the 14 dilapidated and aging windows in the annex side of the Library.
The second project this year will be the remodel of the two Library restrooms. In order
for these restrooms to meet updated ADA standards, upgrades to the sinks, stalls and
fixtures need to be met. Additionally new the and paint will be added to give the
restrooms a fresh new look.
The Library is scheduled to remain open throughout construction with operating with
normal business hours 7 days a week. During the remodel the public restrooms will be
closed for 4-6 weeks while construction takes place. The City will provide outdoor Sani-
can restrooms onsite for the public and staff to use during that time, similar to what was
provided during COVID.
Along with the window project the restroom remodel has been on the books since 2017.
The project was advertised on MRSC Small Works Roster and staff received three
competitive bids. The lowest responsive bid is $76,519.00 including WSST submitted by
L & L Enterprises. Staff is requesting authorization the City Manager to enter into an
agreement with L & L Enterprises in the amount of $76,519.00 and further authorizes
change orders up to a limit of 20% given the project is a remodel project and we expect
to encounter change conditions and additional repairs.
Funding:
Washington State Department of Commerce Library Capital Improvement Program -
$172,560 (for the window replacement and the bathroom remodels)
Matching funds from ARPA, Bond Fund, REET- $180,000.
This Resolution gives the City Manager the authority to award a professional service
contract with L & L Enterprises for the Library Restroom Remodel Project. Not to
exceed $80,000 and other contracts needed to complete the construction.
Expenditures:
Library windows approved by Council June 20th- $80,000.00
Library restrooms- $77,000.00
Total: $157,000.00

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

Exhibit A
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 2: Introduction — Building Blocks for the Comprehensive Plan — Port
Townsend Gateway Development Plan
Adopted by the City Council in August of 1993, the Gateway Development Plan represented the
culmination of over three years of active citizen involvement. The Gateway Development Plan expands
upon an earlier "concept plan" adopted in May of 1988. It was updated in 2023. The update included
specific focus in the Flats District and addressed power line safety conflicts with the existing poplar trees,
boat ,yard expansion to the Port's property line, the long term sustainability of this area of the public right
of way, and the replanting and aesthetics of this portion of the Gateway. The Plan identifies specific
transportation improvements for capital development and establishes development guidelines for the Sims
Way/SR 20 corridor from the Port Townsend City limits to the Washington State Ferry Terminal. These
guidelines are "performance -oriented" rather than "prescriptive" and address issues regarding the look,
feel, and function of the Gateway Corridor. The Gateway Development Plan incorporates three primary
goals into a comprehensive transportation redevelopment strategy:
Traffic Safety;
Streetscape Improvements and Aesthetics; and
Economic Vitality.

Plan.

Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9
Policy 7.4: Create, maintain, and improve the Sims Gateways and other entrances into the Commercial
Historic District through the use of enhanced plantings/street trees and street furniture.
Exhibit E
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 Community Retail
The City's economic development strategy recognizes the fact that service industries, including retailing,
are the fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy. In Jefferson County, about 14% of all jobs are in
either the wholesale or retail trades. While these jobs may not provide the desired wages or "spin off'
effects that manufacturing jobs have, they nevertheless provide many meaningful employment
opportunities, fulfill community shopping needs, and boost local government revenues.
The Community Direction Statement (Chapter 3 of this Plan) and the City's economic development
strategy both recognize the importance of retail trades to our local economy and quality of life. The
community vision places special emphasis on building the strength and vitality of existing businesses and
minimizing retail sales leakage to neighboring jurisdictions.
One significant role local government can play in promoting community retail trades lies in providing and
maintaining public infrastructure and improvements in commercial districts throughout town. In this
regard, the City has placed special emphasis on implementation of the recommendations of the Port
Townsend Gateway Development Plan. This Plan is in reality a comprehensive public improvements plan
that could aid in improving the quality of the physical link between public and private spaces in the
commercial districts along the Sims Way/Water Street corridor from the Ferry Terminal to the City limits.
As of 2023, this includes an amendment to the Gateway Development Plan enacting communitX
suggestions for increasing pedestrian connection to the boat ,yard and expanding the boat ,yard to
accommodate further economic development.
Implementation:
1. Carry out the capital improvements recommendations contained in the 2023 Amended Port
Townsend Gateway Development Plan.
2. In conjunction with the EDC, study local market conditions, identify areas for additional retail
opportunities, and work with business owners and entrepreneurs to create strategies that build on those
opportunities.
3. Help existing businesses find better ways to meet their customer's needs and expand to meet market
opportunities.

Determination of Non -Significance: The City of Port Townsend, as SEPA lead agency for this
project, has determined that the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on
the environment and issued a Determination of Non- Significance under the State Environmental
Policy Act Rules (WAC 197-11-340). This determination was made after a review of a
completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City of Port Townsend
which can be obtained from the address on the first page of this document.
This determination is based on the following findings and conclusions: The Environmental
Checklist (Ex. A) adequately addresses the environmental impacts of the proposed amendments.
Subsequent project actions (e.g. construction/repair projects) may require further project -level
under SEPA, Critical Areas (PTMC 19.05), or Shorelines Master Program. No probable
significant adverse impact on the environment has been identified from adoption of the proposed
amendments to Chapter 17.22.020 PTMC Marine -Related and Manufacturing Districts —
Permitted, Conditional, and Prohibited Uses, therefor a Determination of Non -significance is
warranted.
SEPA Public Comment Deadline: Written comments/appeals concerning the environmental
analysis and SEPA determination must be submitted to the Development Services Department no
later than 4:00 p.m., July 29, 2023. This comment period will be the only time to comment on
the environmental impacts of the proposed project. Any appeal of a SEPA determination for
Type V applications is heard by the City Council. Please address comments/appeals to the staff
contact.
Open Record Public Hearing: An open record public hearing will be held before the Planning
Commission for a recommendation to City Council. The date for the Planning Commission
Hearing has been scheduled for July 12, 2023, beginning at or about 6:30 p.m. in Council
Chambers of Port Townsend's City Hall, located at 540 Water Street. Separate public notice of
the subsequent City Council hearing will be provided in accordance with municipal code.

CC: Helena Smith, Long Range Planner
From: Lois Stanford, Chair, Port Townsend Planning Commission
Date: August 9, 2023
Re: Sims Gateway Development Plan Amendment
Findings of Fact
1. Proposal- The City of Port Townsend proposes amendments to various sections of the
Comprehensive Plan (Described in Exhibit A) to clarify the Sims Gateway Development Plan
intent. The amendments relate to:
a. The Sims Gateway Development Plan
b. Public health and safety in the Flats District
c. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 Economic Development Element, goals 1, 3, and 7
2. location: The proposed amendments will apply to the Sims Gateway area, specifically the Flats
District.
3. Environmental Review: Amendments to the land use/development regulations are subject to
review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). On June 27, 2023, the SEPA Responsible
Official issued a Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) (Exhibit B). The SEPA comment period
expires on August 5, 2023. No SEPA comments have been received to date.
4. Commerce Review: The City must notify the WA Department of Commerce of any proposed
amendments to the comprehensive plan or development regulations. The City submitted the
proposed amendments to Commerce on July 31, 2023. On July 31, 2023, the Department of
Commerce confirmed receipt of the submission. The City is awaiting further response from
Commerce; however the request has not been denied.
5. Planning Commission Review: Per PTMC Section 20.04.090 C. Planning Commission Review, the
Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on any text amendment to the land use code
and make a recommendation to City Council, using the decision criteria set forth in PTMC
20.04.080. In accordance with PTMC Section 20.04.090(8), notice of the public hearing was
posted and published on July 5, 2023.
6. AIgglingE Staff provided an overview of the proposed amendments, working with the Planning
7. Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting on December 8, 2022.
8. Public nearing.: The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 12, 2023, to
consider the amendments to various sections of the Comprehensive Plan related to the Sims
Gateway Development Plan. Commissioners considered public testimony received at the public
hearing, as well as those offered at the previous meetings and work sessions. Upon the close of
the hearing, the Planning Commission assessed each item and formed its recommendation
based on the evaluation criteria set forth in PTMC Section 20.04.080.
Findings and Conclusions
Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommended approval of the revisions to various sections
of the Municipal Code as depicted in Exhibit A. This recommendation was based upon the following
Criteria for Approval:
a) Whether the amendment will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare in any
significant way.
Finding. The SEPA Responsible Official has reviewed the proposed amendments and issued a
Determination of Non -Significance (Exhibit C).
Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect
the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way.
b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide
planning policies.
Finding . The proposed amendment is directly related to two Growth Management Act (GMA)
goals. First is Goal 3: "Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems
that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive
plans." GMA Goal 5 is reflected in County -wide Planning Policy (CWPP) #5, county -wide
transportation facilities and strategies. This amendment will facilitate future projects improving
multi -modal transportation along the boatyard side of Sims Way, including pedestrian sidewalks
and bike paths. The other relevant GMA goal is 5, "Economic Development: Encourage
economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive
plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and
for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and
recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional differences impacting economic development
opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all
within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities." GMA
Goal 5 is supported by CWPP 7, county -wide economic development and employment. The
proposed amendment clarifies that the boatyard in the Flats District is significant to Port
Townsend's economic vitality. The amendment references the expansion of the boat yard to
support the economic development goals the GMA, CWPP, and the Gateway Development Plan.
Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments are consistent with
both the GMA and the CWPPs.
c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves
inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan.
Findin : Over the course of thirteen meetings between Summer 2021 and Summer 2023, Port
Townsend residents determined that they had three primary goals for any changes to the Flats
District: improving public safety by moving powerlines underground, creating an environment
for healthy vegetation, and continuing the economic development of the boatyard. This
amendment reflects these goals as developed through public meetings, stakeholder
committees, open houses, and hearings. The amendment also applies 2022's best available
science on arboreal health, which is significant because the Port Townsend Gateway
Development Plan has not been amended since its passage in 1993.
Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendment supports public safety,
healthy vegetation, and the economic development of the boat yard in accordance with widely
held community values.
d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses
within the city.
.Finding: The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land
uses within the city. No change in land use is proposed.
Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain the
appropriate balance of land uses within the city.
e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively
f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in
circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located
which warrants the proposal.
Finding: The amendment addresses changed circumstances and implements the comprehensive
plan. Changed circumstances include the electrical safety hazard. In 2021, transmission
powerlines arced with the row of Lombardy Poplar trees along Sims Way and the Boat Haven.
The amendment also addresses best available science concerning the nonnative trees and their
recently determined poor health, along with applying recent public feedback.
The proposed amendment supports active plans within the Comprehensive Plan, including the
non -motorized plan, Gateway Development Plan, Public Recreational Open Space Plan, and Kah
Tai Development Plan. The proposal implements Comprehensive Plan Chapter 2, Section: Port
Townsend Gateway Development Plan by supporting the plan's three primary goals of traffic
safety, streetscape improvements and aesthetics, and economic vitality. The proposed
enhancements to the Flats District also supports a section of the Community Direction
Statement which "Port Townsend as eastern Jefferson County's economic and cultural center."
Preventing tree hazards, particularly on a central road, ensures that workers and tourists can
reach safely reach uptown and downtown. Preventing hazards and clarifying development
standards for an expansion of the boat yard and improvements for the Flats District for the
Gateway Development Plan is particularly important for the Boat Haven Marina, an area that
the Community Direction Statement calls "essential to the character of Port Townsend as a
working waterfront town."
Conclusion: The Commission concludes that the proposed amendments help implement the
Comprehensive Plan goals to of economic development and public safety.
Recommendation:
The PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of the amendments to various sections of the
Comprehensive Plan to clarify the Sims Gateway Development Plan intent.

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

(e.g., 10 to 24 dwellings per structure) at a density of not less than 15 units per 40,000 square
feet of land area, or more than 24 48 units per 40,000 square feet of land area. A minimum
density has been specified for this district in order to discourage use of this land for subordinate,
lower density development; single-family dwellings are not permitted in this district. This district
includes areas designed to be compatible with adjoining uses; to provide for development with a
density and configuration that facilitates effective and efficient transit service; and to enable
provision of affordable housing.

Exhibit D
PTMC Section 17.18.O10.Purposes
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 horizontal and vertical mix of single-family, multifamily
housing and neighborhood commercial businesses and services, with an emphasis on
promoting multistory structures with commercial uses on the ground floor and multifamily
housing on upper floors;
4. To promote a compact growth pattern to efficiently use the remaining developable land,
and to enable the cost-effective extension of utilities, services, and streets; frequent transit
service; and to help sustain neighborhood businesses;
5. To foster the development of mixed use areas that are arranged, scaled, and designed to
be compatible with surrounding land uses and which provide sensitive transitions between
significantly different land uses (e.g., commercial and residential uses);
6. To ensure that buildings and other development components are arranged, designed, and
oriented to facilitate pedestrian access.
B. The purposes of the specific mixed use districts are as follows:
1. C-UMU — Neighborhood Mixed Use Center. This district provides for a compatible mix
of small scale commercial uses and medium density multifamily housing in multistory
buildings. Within this district, commercial uses should be located mainly on the ground
floor of multistory structures, with multifamily residential units above, at a density of up to
46 80 units per 40,000 -square -foot area. Over time, this district should promote
neighborhood identity, by providing a range of commercial retail and service opportunities
within walking distance, reducing reliance upon the automobile. This district occurs in
four locations in the city: the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and
Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; the block on the southwest side of
the T -intersection at Kearney Street and Blain Street; and the San Juan and F Street
intersection.
2. C-II/MU — Community Mixed Use Center. While very similar to the neighborhood
mixed use district, this district accommodates a broader range of commercial uses and
upper floor multifamily residential units at a density of up to -24 100 units per 40,000
square foot area. The C-IUMU district occurs in areas that are closer to the city's existing
east/west commercial corridor (i.e., portions of both the east and west sides of Discovery
Road, from 7th Street to 12th Street; and the east side of Kearney Street, from Franklin to
Garfield Street). Like the C-I/MU district, the C-II/MU district is intended to promote more
focused and transit or pedestrian -oriented development patterns.
Exhibit E
1718.030(B) Bulk, dimensional and density requirements.
B. Application of Btiil iag F,-,,, tage and Minimum Commercial Space and Clear Ceiling Height
Requirements. All strictures located within the C-I(MU) zoning district shall comply with the
btii ding f enrage minimum commercial space requirements of Table 17.18.030. However, in
order to allow a horizontal as well as a vertical mixture of commercial and residential uses, only
those strictures or portions of strictures constricted to satisfy the minimum commercial building
€rhe requirements of Table 17.18.030 shall comply with the minimum clear ceiling height
requirements set forth in the table. Commercial space may be initially used as residential space
but must meet commercial design requirements that would allow conversion back to commercial
use.

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

LUP23-010 Port of Port Townsend Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Policy 11.1: Work with the Economic Development Council, Jefferson County, and the Port of
Port Townsend to determine the area's projected manufacturing land use needs and each
entity's role in satisfying those needs. Cooperate with these entities to develop a coordinated
strategy for manufacturing development in the area.
Policy 11.9: Work closely with the Port of Port Townsend to provide for the development of
the Boat Haven and Point Hudson properties in a way that ensures the viability of long-term
marine uses, the vitality of the area for port -related uses, and compatibility with surrounding
areas.
Goal 17: Preserve historic and cultural resources to retain our connection to the past, enhance
community values, and leave a historical legacy for future generations.
Policy 17.2: Encourage the retention of significant historic and cultural resources that foster
community identity and pride.
17.2.2: Develop incentives that promote the adaptive reuse and preservation of historic
buildings (e.g., use of the upper floors of downtown historic buildings). Ensure that incentives
provide reductions in regulatory requirements such as parking, in exchange for desired public
benefits.
17.2.4: Promote commercial historic district revitalization strategies that recognize and
capitalize on the historic traditions of Port Townsend.
Conclusion. The Planning Commission concludes that the _proposed amendments are consistent
with both the GMA and the CWPPs.
c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves
inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan.
Pindi & Per the Comprehensive Plan, historic preservation is an important goal to Port
Townsend. Allowing this use would preserve historic residential structures while maintaining the
zone's marine uses, which are vital to Port Townsend's economic health.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments support the
widely held community values historic preservation and marine industry.
d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses
within the city.
fnj The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land
uses within the City.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain
the appropriate balance of land uses within the city.
e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively
f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in
circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located
which warrants the proposal.
Finding The proposed amendment would apply in the Point Hudson Marine Related Zone, M-
II(B), which contains historic military residences. Currently, short-term rentals are a permitted
nonconforming use in some of these specific historic structures because the use predates the
`A
LUP23-010 Port of Port Townsend Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. Amending the comprehensive plan would reinforce that
short-term rentals are generally not allowed in Point Hudson with the exception of specific
historic structures, preserving the historic uses, historic structures, and modern comprehensive
plan goals for Point Hudson.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments implements
the Comprehensive Plan's goals for historic preservation and that the proposal's area warrants
the proposed use.

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

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

LUP23-013 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments

Comprehensive Plan's goals for community direction, land use, housing, transportation, and
economic development.

DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Fine The SEPA Responsible Official has reviewed the proposed amendments and issued a
Determination of Non -Significance.
Conclusion:, The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will not
adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in any significant way.
b) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the GMA and adopted county -wide
planning policies.
Finding, The proposed amendment enacts the following GMA goals and CWPPs:
GMA Goal 1: "Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public
facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner." And CWPP #1: "The
designation of urban growth areas (UGAs)."
The proposed amendments incentivize development in underdeveloped urban areas
with sufficient public facilities and services.
GMA Goal 2: "Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into
sprawling, low-density development" and CWPP #2: "Promotion of contiguous and orderly
development and the provision of services to such development."
The proposal is for concentrated, high-density development in areas that can support
more units.
GMA Goal 3: "Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are
based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans" and
CWPP #5: "County -wide transportation facilities and strategies."
The proposed amendments include a reduction in minimum parking requirements in
specific high-density zones to encourage greater use of non -motorized transportation
and the county -wide public transit system.
GMA Goal 4: "Housing. Plan for and accommodate housing affordable to all economic segments
of the population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and
encourage preservation of existing housing stock" and CWPP #6: "The need for affordable
housing for all economic segments of the population."
The proposed amendments permit greater housing densities in regions where
developers, particularly developers of affordable housing, cannot afford to build at
current density levels. The amendments will increase housing stock and encourage
development of affordable housing units.
GMA Goal 5: "Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state
that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all
citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the
retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize
regional differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in
areas experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural
resources, public services, and public facilities" and CWPP #7: "County -wide economic
development and employment."
The proposed amendments address barriers to economic development in specific land
use zones. Developers report that they cannot afford to build on mixed use zones
because the balance of residential to commercial space is not viable for their funding
sources, leaving these properties undeveloped. The undeveloped mixed-use properties
are not serving as local businesses or residences, hampering economic development.
2
DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Similarly, zones allowing high-density residential developments remain undeveloped
because developers cannot afford to build unless the total number of units is high
enough that renting them will absorb unexpected development costs. Port Townsend
and Jefferson County lack sufficient housing, meaning that local industries do not have a
local workforce.
GMA Goal 6: "Property rights. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just
compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from
arbitrary and discriminatory actions."
The proposed amendments do not take private property or remove currently allowed
uses from privately held property.
GMA Goal: "7) Permits. Applications for both state and local government permits should be
processed in a timely and fair manner to ensure predictability."
The proposed amendments do not impact permit application processes or timelines.
GMA Goal 8: "Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based
industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. Encourage the
conservation of productive forestlands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage
incompatible uses."
The proposed amendments do not impact natural resource industries.
GMA Goal 9: "Open space and recreation. Retain open space, enhance recreational
opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and
water, and develop parks and recreation facilities."
The proposed amendments encourage development in high-density areas that are
adjacent to open space, allowing residents access to recreational areas without
development sprawling into natural areas.
GMA Goal 10: "Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of
life, including air and water quality, and the availability of water."
The proposed amendments do not impact air or water quality or availability.
GMA Goal 11: "Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in
the planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to
reconcile conflicts."
The proposed amendments do not impact citizen participation. However, citizens have
provided feedback on the draft amendments through meetings with the Planning
Commission and other opportunities for public comment.
GMA Goal 12: "Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the
development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below
locally established minimum standards."
The proposed amendments propose increasing density in zones that are
underdeveloped, meaning that increased demand for public facilities and services will
remain in proportion to levels planned in the Comprehensive Plan.
GMA Goal 13: "Historic preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites,
and structures, that have historical or archaeological significance."
The proposed amendments do not impact historic preservation.

DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments are consistent
with both the GMA and the CWPPs.
c) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held community values or resolves
inconsistencies in the city's comprehensive plan.
Finding: City Council and Planning Commission meetings are largely focused on the need for
more housing and more affordable housing. Public comment shows that Port Townsend
residents are highly concerned about having sufficient housing in their community. Business
owners share that they are losing employees who cannot find housing. Developers report that
they cannot build needed housing under current height and density restrictions. The proposed
amendment reflects the community's widely held value of providing affordable housing for all
economic segments of the City.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments support the
widely held community value of housing access.
d) Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses
within the city.
I"inclin& The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan do not alter the balance of land
uses within the City. The proposed increases to height and density do not alter land uses, only
encourage concentrating residential use in zones that already permit multifamily housing.
Conclusion. The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments will maintain
the appropriate balance of land uses within the city.
e) Whether the proposal implements the comprehensive plan; or alternatively
f) Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, there has been a substantial change in
circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located
which warrants the proposal.
firfdin a The proposed amendments implement the following sections of the comprehensive
plan:
Comprehensive Plan Direction Statement: "a great place to live," with a "wide choice of
housing types and prices is available for a diversity of lifestyles and incomes. Residential
development is centered in distinct neighborhoods." The proposed amendments
support styles of high-density housing that are not currently feasible in the City,
centered in distinct neighborhoods.
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4 Land Use Element: per Goal 9, "accommodate the
population growth objectives for the City of Port Townsend and further the objectives of
the Housing Element of this Plan," allow development in the currently underutilized R -IV
High Density Multi -Family, C-I/MU Neighborhood Mixed Use Center, C-ll/MU
Community Mixed Use Center, and M/C Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial in
the Rainier Subarea. The amendments also implement Goal 10, providing "adequate
commercial land to conveniently serve community needs while maintaining Port
Townsend's small town atmosphere" by encouraging the development of commercial
uses in mixed-use zones. This also contributes to Goal 12, encouraging "the creation of
mixed use centers that combine commercial and residential land uses, providing an
opportunity to develop areas in Port Townsend that are transit -oriented and pedestrian
friendly and offering opportunities for affordable housing, convenience shopping, and
quality design."
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5 Housing Element: providing more housing stock is an
essential part of OlyCAP and Jefferson Shelter to Housing Partnership's 10 Year Plan to
4
DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
End Homelessness in Jefferson County, WA. This includes enacting Goal 1, providing an
"adequate supply of housing for residents of all income groups, including sufficient
housing affordable to low and moderate income groups." The proposed amendments
encourage Goal 2, promoting "the provision of affordable housing throughout all
geographic and economic segments of the community" because developers cannot
currently afford to build affordable units unless they are allowed to build more total
units that will absorb the costs of permanently affordable units. These amendments
"promote a variety of housing choices" per Goal 4. Developing these specific zones also
makes them more suitable for "the development of housing opportunities for low
income and special needs populations" per Goal 5. The amendments implement Goal 6
by increasing development opportunities in mixed use zones that will "promote a
balance of housing and employment opportunities." Per Goal 7, these higher density
residential developments are located within the City's urban core instead of sprawling
out. Finally, per An Affordable Housing Strategy for Port Townsend, the amendments re-
evaluate development standards to maintain public health and safety while reducing
development costs as a barrier to affordable housing.
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6 Transportation Element: The proposed reduction in
parking minimums enacts Goal 9, "Encourage the City, transit, and private interests to
establish coordinated parking strategies to achieve overall transportation goals and to
ensure that parking standards do not act as a deterrent to new development or
redevelopment."
Chapter 8 Capital Facilities Element: Per Goal 4, "Ensure that water, wastewater,
stormwater, and transportation facilities are provided concurrent with new
development, based on the City's adopted level of service standards" and Goal 5,
"Provide needed public facilities within the City's financial capabilities or within the
City's authority to require others to provide such facilities," developments under these
proposed amendments must be served by utilities and public facilities in concurrence
with the project's development.
Chapter 9 Economic Development Element: The proposed amendments make
developing the M/C(S) and mixed use zones more affordable and appealing to
developers, which means these zones can be used by local businesses to implement
Goal 1, fostering "a balanced, diversified, and sustainable local economy that
contributes to Port Townsend's high quality of life."
Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan: The proposed amendments to M/C(S)
implement Goal LU.4, ensure a variety of housing options and living environment
choices are provided throughout the subarea." They also implement Goal LU.5, "provide
family -wage employment by promoting a variety of manufactur9ing and commercial
uses across the subarea" by encouraging development in this area, which has not seen
the predicted level of development since its creation.
The proposed amendments also address how housing access has substantially changed. When
the Port Townsend comprehensive plan was updated in 2015, housing was one of several
primary concerns, along with attracting businesses and supporting economic growth. Since then,
housing became a primary concern across income levels, political groups, and geographic areas.
5
DRAFT 08.23.2023 Findings and Conclusions for the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
The housing crisis is a national problem that is deeply felt in Port Townsend. The city needs local
solutions.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission concludes that the proposed amendments implement the
Comprehensive Plan's goals for community direction, land use, housing, transportation, capital
facilities, and economic development. The amendments also implement the Rainier Street &
Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan.

9.3 -- Future Recreation and Open Space
Proportionate Recreation and Open Space Demand
WESTERN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: In the western areas, future
residential neighborhoods will develop and will create new demand for parks. The R -III
and R -IV residential land use designations in this area encompass approximately 23.4
acres of vacant and undeveloped land. These areas will generate approximately 161 4447
to 322 226 additional housing units. This growth equates to a population increase of
approximately 339 2-97 to 676 475. new residents when using the City's typical 2.1 -person
household size. The adopted LOS (7.6/1,000) calculates a demand of 5.14 3-.64- acres of
additional parkland to support the anticipated population in this area. Table 9.2.b lists the
future recreational and open space demand for the residential land use designations. As a
means to achieve the LOS standards, developers may be required to provide their
proportional share of parks and open space as part of individual housing projects.

PTMC Section 17.18.010.Purposes
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 horizontal and vertical mix of single-family, multifamily
housing and neighborhood commercial businesses and services, with an emphasis on
promoting multistory structures with commercial uses on the ground floor and multifamily
housing on upper floors;
4. To promote a compact growth pattern to efficiently use the remaining developable land,
and to enable the cost-effective extension of utilities, services, and streets; frequent transit
service; and to help sustain neighborhood businesses;
5. To foster the development of mixed use areas that are arranged, scaled, and designed to
be compatible with surrounding land uses and which provide sensitive transitions between
significantly different land uses (e.g., commercial and residential uses);
6. To ensure that buildings and other development components are arranged, designed, and
oriented to facilitate pedestrian access.
B. The purposes of the specific mixed use districts are as follows:
1. C-I/MU — Neighborhood Mixed Use Center. This district provides for a compatible mix
of small scale commercial uses and medium density multifamily housing in multistory
buildings. Within this district, commercial uses should be located mainly on the ground
floor of multistory structures, with multifamily residential units above, at a density of up to
4-6 80 units per 40,000 -square -foot area. Over time, this district should promote
neighborhood identity, by providing a range of commercial retail and service opportunities
2023 Amendments as Recommended by the Planning Commission 6
within walking distance, reducing reliance upon the automobile. This district occurs in
threes four locations in the city: the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and
Jackman; the Hastings and Howard Street intersection; tlic_block op the sotitliwest side of
the' intersectio i a.LKearivy,.. tt ptt and Main S_treet�, and the San Juan and F Street
intersection.
2. C-II/MU — Community Mixed Use Center. While very similar to the neighborhood
mixed use district, this district accommodates a broader range of commercial uses and
upper floor multifamily residential units at a density of up to 24 100 units per 40,000
square foot area. The C-II/MU district occurs in areas that are closer to the city's existing
east/west commercial corridor (i.e., portions of both the east and west sides of Discovery
Road, from 7th Street to 12th Street; and the east side of Kearney Street, from Franklin to
Garfield Street). Like the C-I/MU district, the C-II/MU district is intended to promote more
focused and transit or pedestrian -oriented development patterns.

Amendment Decision Criteria
20.04.080.A.3: For All Amendments: 20.04.080.A.4: For Site -Specific
A. Whether the amendment will adversely affect thAmendments
e
public health, safety and welfare in any significant way; A
and
B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with
the GMA and adopted county -wide planning policies;
and
C. Whether the proposed amendment reflects current
widely held community values or resolves
inconsistencies in the city's Comprehensive Plan; and
D. Whether the proposed amendment would maintain the
appropriate balance of land uses within the city; and B
E. Whether the proposal implements the Comprehensive
Plan; or alternatively
F. Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, there
has been a substantial change in circumstances related
to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which
it is located which warrants the proposal.
Pui I Iuwiv,en a Nfy (jmm it 1 i inn, 1i/(7;"./
In the case of an amendment to
the comprehensive land use map,
whether the subject parcels are
physically suitable for the
requested land use designation(s)
and the anticipated land use
development(s), including, but
not limited to, access, provision
of utilities, compatibility with
adjoining land uses and absence
of physical constraints.
The proposed amendment will
not create a pressure to change
the land use designation of other
properties, unless the change of
land use designation for other
properties is in the long-term
interests of the community in
general.

• Goal: Clarify that short term rentals are not
permitted in Point Hudson Marina, except in the
Pilot's Cottage, Junior Officer's Quarters Duplex
Building, and Commander's House.
• FAQ: Would this amendment impact the RV camp
at Point Hudson?
• No. PTMC's definition of "short term rentals" does
not include RV parking spaces. RV camps are
regulated under PTMC's definition of "recreational
vehicle park, public." Also, this RV camp is regulated
by the Shoreline Master Plan. The SMP allows the
RV camp.

Height: Current Definition
Currently, PTMC 17.08.020's definition of building height does not
address rooftop appurtenances or equipment.
• the vertical distance from the average natural (preexisting) grade to
the highest point of the coping of a flat roof or the deck line of a
mansard roof or the average height of the highest gable of a pitched

Height: Proposed Exceptions from the Port
Angeles Definition
Port Angeles Municipal Code 17.08.045.6.2.
• "Exceptions. The height restrictions in this title shall not apply to
spires, monuments, chimneys, antennas, water towers, elevator
towers, mechanical equipment, and other similar rooftop
appurtenances usually required to be placed above the roof level
and/or not intended for human occupancy or habitable space;
provided that mechanical equipment rooms and screening are set
back at least ten feet from the edge of the roof and do not exceed
the maximum building height by more than ten feet. Other
architectural appurtenances such as ornamental cupolas, parapets,
and spires, not exceeding the maximum building height by more
than ten feet nor exceeding ten feet in diameter, are also exempt
from height requirements."

Parking
• Currently, 17.44.100.A. states that The required number of off-street
parking spaces shall be reduced by two spaces for each developed on -
street parking space pursuant to PTMC ,,�7'.7, .,,,I..2 (C).
A. We propose adding: "For projects located in R -IV, C-I/MU, C-II/MU,
and M/C(S) zones, the required number of off-street parking
spaces shall be reduced by three spaces for each developed
on -street parking space."
This helps 17.44.100.A'sobjective: meet "On -street parking is encouraged
along the streets, access drives, and alleys in order to provide convenient
access and reduce the need for off-street parking lots."

Current C-I/MU Floor Area Ratio
C-I/MU's FAR is 2 square feet of gross floor area per 1 square foot of lot. The
ratio is not based on the amount of commercial or residential space. The
minimum open space must be at least 10% of gross floor area.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The 2024 revenue estimates and department requests are in draft form. The numbers
do not match up or balance, please do not focus on the numbers. We are still wrestling
with balancing the budget in an effort to stay focused on policy decisions and the strategic
work plan. The outlined budget schedule provides an opportunity for Council and staff to
discuss priorities and pull together a proposed budget focused on the future outcome of
the community.
The 2024 revenue forecast reflects a conservative approach, balancing the economic
conditions and watching for the ever -shifting economy on the horizon. The goal is to
remain conservative yet lean in and leverage the resources the City has available.
Overall, increases are anticipated for all revenue sources. Sales tax and other
miscellaneous revenues have been adjusted by 3.7%. Property tax has been adjusted
for new construction as well as Council consideration of the 1 % allowable levy increase.
Real Estate Excise Tax and Lodging Tax are projected to remain strong locally in the near
term. Utility rate increases based on prior rate model studies and rate studies in process
will be brought forward for consideration as well as any fee schedule adjustments. In
addition, the City has obtained several grants that work to stretch our local resources.
These grants have been obtained by departments across the organization and represent
significant work accomplished by staff.
Operational department requests have been submitted along with key goals and strategic
work plan priorities for 2024. Staff levels are a key element to achieve the service levels
and meet strategic goals. Retention and recruitment are critical in this area and have
proven to be one of the highest challenges. Investments in the tools and people that are
needed to provide services to the Community are an important component of the
requested budgets. Revenue considerations as well as expense considerations will be
brought forward for future Council discussion.
Upcoming discussion opportunities:
• October 9 — 2024 Strategic Work Plan, 2023 Strategic Work Plan update
• October 16 — Budget Continuation
• November 6 — Proposed 2024 Budget
• November— Public Hearings on revenues, property tax levy and budget adoption

Goal Statement:
The it of Port Tow"'endowns and operates a stormwater collections stem that includes
Cy p y
roadside ditches, wedge asphalt curbs, concrete curbs, rain gardens, and stormwater facilities
such as Froggy bottoms. The Streets and Collections Division of Public Works is responsible
for annual maintenance which includes cleaning, street sweeping, and stormwater repairs. This
includes responding to heavy rain events to manage localized flooding. Leaf control is a major
proactive maintenance strategy.
The stormwater system is also managed by the engineering division to implement the Western
Washington Stormwater Manual for water quality improvement.
2024 Key Goals:
• The Streets division continues to transition the shift of resource investment from vegetation
control to street repair. In particular, stormwater management is a key function that needs to
be restored prior to street investments. The division will spend considerable time in 2024
working on restoring ditches and making small drainage improvements.
City Council Business Meeting 10/2/2023 16
• Capital improvements on the stormwater system are also necessary. Much of the stormwater
infrastructure is lacking or in a state of disrepair. In particular, Lawrence Street stormwater
is piped into the Sanitary Sewer System and thus a new pipeline is needed in Lawrence
Street.
2024 Work Plan:
• The Stormwater system rates are anticipated to be completed implemented by April 1, 2024
• Stormwater investments are included in the Discovery Road project to be completed in 2024.
• Staff will begin the process of design for the Lawrence Street stormwater system project.
• The stormwater improvements associated with the banked capacity street repairs were
initiated in 2023 and will be completed in 2024.

Goal Statement: "IIIIIIIIIIIIII %1111%11s,°111111111°°°
The City of Port Town gineering division is an enterprise fund within the Public Works
Department. This mel° he division bills other funds for ever hour worked. As such the
p Y
revenues in the b ”' en are shown to exceed expenses indicating that there is more work
than can be perf °11Ie by the division staff. In actuality, the division struggles to cover costs
and the fund balanc11 s near zero making It challenging for the division to take on tasks unless
there is billing authority granted from other departments.
The underlying goal of the division is to provide technical support for management of existing
assets and the development of new public infrastructure. Engineering is a key division providing
support to Public Works administration. This support comes in the form of internal service to
other departments such as GIS mapping, software support, development review, contracting,
bidding, purchasing, code enforcement, planning for future infrastructure and technical support
to operations, planning for future infrastructure. External services are also a key element of
engineering's responsibilities such as right of way management, permitting, franchise utility
management, traffic analysis, and environmental compliance.
Design of capital projects makes up over half of the engineering division's work which includes
design and development of new infrastructure as well as capital repairs replacements, grant
procurement, and capital funding program management.
