AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
TITLES 16 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION) AND 17 (ZONING), AND SECTION
20.01.040 OF THE PORT TOWNSEND MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATED TO
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR EMERGENCY HOUSING AND SHELTER;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Port Townsend currently has a permitting process for the
establishment of temporary tent encampments to shelter people who are unhoused or at imminent
risk of losing their housing; and
WHEREAS, the current process only permits these uses temporarily, requiring housing
and shelter providers to either seek an extension or move established encampments every 180
days; and
WHEREAS, the significant investment of extending or moving temporary encampments
contradicts the City's goals as stated in the Comprehensive Plan's Community Direction
Statement, the Countywide Planning Policies, and the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
Between Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend to Support Affordable Housing and
Homeless Housing Programs, dated November 8, 2021; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 35.21.683 of the Revised Code of Washington ("RCW"),
the City may not prohibit indoor emergency shelters and indoor emergency housing in any zones
in which hotels are allowed; and
WHEREAS, per the direction from the City Council, the Planning Commission explored
possible amendments to the City's municipal code to comply with RCW 35.21.683, to streamline
the permitting process for emergency housing and shelter, and to allow more types of emergency
housing and shelter within the City; and
WHEREAS, through RCW 19.27.042, the legislative authorities of cities and counties are
permitted to exempt certain buildings from state building code requirements in order to provide
housing for indigent persons, by adopting an ordinance or resolution to that effect; and
WHEREAS, RCW 19.27.042 further tasks the state building code council to adopt
standards for temporary emergency shelters, and make them available for local adoption, by July
1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 3320 extended time limitations for temporary uses and interim
land use regulations so that a tiny shelter village within the City could continue operating with
temporary use permit extensions for tiny shelter use and habitation; and
WHEREAS, a safe and predictable permitting and inspection process is needed for tiny
shelters to be used as temporary emergency shelters, and delaying action until state building code
council rules become available on July 1, 2026, would significantly impair the community's
ability to provide safe and affordably -constructed emergency shelter; and
WHEREAS, the City building official, in consultation with the Jefferson County building
official and fire marshal, recommends regulations to ensure tiny shelter safety, annual
inspections, and the means to monitor structure longevity, at which point the structures may need
to be transitioned to alternate uses not supporting occupancy; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission met to consider the proposed ordinance on
December 14, 2023, December 28, 2023, and January 18, 2024; and the Planning Commission
held a public hearing on February 7, 2024, to receive comments and testimony concerning the
same; and
WHEREAS, on March 14, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended passage of the
proposed ordinance;
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2024, City Council held the first reading of the proposed
ordinance, including public comments;
WHEREAS, Staff prepared three alternatives based on public comments and Council's
conversation on April I ", and those alternatives were discussed during the April 29, 2024, special
meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend do ordain as
follows:
Section 1. Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The recitals above are hereby adopted by
reference as the City's findings as if fully set forth herein. The City of Port Townsend is facing a

17.60.080 Required conditions.
The director of the planning and community development department shall establish, as a
condition of each temporary use permit:
A. A time within which the use and all physical evidence of the use must be removed..
B. If the applicant has not removed the use as required by the temporary use permit, the city
may abate the use as provided in PTMC 17.60.090.
C. Applicant shall obtain a city business license, if applicable.
17.60.090 Abatement.
Prior to the approval of a temporary use permit, the applicant shall submit to the director of
the planning and community development department an irrevocable, signed and notarized
statement granting the city permission to summarily enter the applicant's property with
reasonable notice and abate the temporary use, and all physical evidence of that use if it has
not been removed as required by the terms of the permit. The statement shall also indicate
that the applicant will reimburse the city for any expenses incurred in abating a temporary use
under the authority of this chapter.
17.60.100 Assurance device.
In appropriate circumstances, the director of the planning and community development
department may require a reasonable performance of maintenance assurance device, in a form
acceptable to the city attorney, to assure compliance with the provisions of this title and the
temporary use permit as approved.
E. Adequate parking is available to serve the temporary use, and, if applicable, the temporary
use does not occupy required off-street parking facilities for adjacent or nearby uses;
F. Hours of operation of the temporary use are specified;
G. The temporary use will not cause noise, light, or glare which adversely impacts surrounding
land uses; and
H. If applicable, the applicant has obtained approval of a street use agreement pursuant to
Chapter 12.10 PTMC.
17.60.055 Event and temporary use permits — Chief of police authority.
In issuing any event permit or temporary use permits for use of the right-of-way or any public

development director and the public works director, is authorized to establish conditions and
restrictions for the event to ensure public safety, including conditions that restrict others' use
of the area set aside for the event or use.
For example:
A. The chief could grant a permit holder the right to use portions of streets or sidewalks
(subject to conditions to maintain public access and ensure safety). For example, a permit to a
festival could allow the festival the authority to use certain sidewalks for event purposes (such
as tables and booths) in the discretion of the permit holder, so long as minimum access
standards set by the chief were maintained for safety of the public.
B. Chief could grant a permit for exclusive use of the sidewalk as part of an event. For example,
a permit for an event at a building that also included outside activities could also include use of
a defined area around the building (with conditions to ensure safety).

A temporary use is valid for up to 180 calendar days from the effective date of the permit;
however, the PCD Director of the planning and community development department may
establish a shorter time frame. The director may grant one extension not to exceed 60 days,
upon the applicant showing compliance with all conditions of permit approval.
17.60.070 Limitation on activity.
A. A property owner or other holder of a temporary use permit may not file an application for a
successive temporary use permit for 60 days following the expiration of an approved permit
applying to that property.
17.60.050 Approval criteria.
The PCD Director of the planning and community development department may approve, or
modify and approve, an application for a temporary use permit if all of the following criteria are
satisfied:
A. The temporary use will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare,
nor injurious to property or improvements in the immediate vicinity. T^ this erg +,,..RPE)FaFy
B. The temporary use is compatible with the purpose and intent of this title, and the specific
zoning district in which it will be located;
C. The temporary use is compatible in intensity and appearance with existing land uses in the
immediate vicinity;
D. Structures proposed for the temporary use comply with the setback and clear vision area
requirements of this title, and with applicable provisions of the building and fire codes;
