12.04.160 Waiver/modification of the required right-of-way and transportation improvement standards.
A. Authority to Grant Waiver/Modification. The provisions of this section are intended to be a separate and distinct
procedure from the zoning code variance procedures. Waivers and/or modifications of the standards of this chapter
and/or the engineering design standards manual may be granted only upon meeting the criteria of subsection B of
this section. Waivers may be initiated by the city or the developer pursuant to subsection D of this section, or by the
public works director on his or her own initiative.
B. Criteria. The public works director may waive or modify applicable requirements contained in this title and/or the
engineering design standards manual for paving, curb and gutter installation, storm drainage, design of structures
and/or grading to future right-of-way grade, signs or other traffic control devices, landscaping, walkways, bikeways,
sidewalks, on -street parking, driveways, surveys, engineering, street widening, cul-de-sacs/hammerheads, and/or
utilities, when it is determined that the waiver or modification will not harm or will be beneficial to the public in
general and that one or more of the following conditions are met:
1. Location in an environmentally sensitive area as determined by Chapter 19.05 PTMC, disruption of existing
drainage patterns, or removal of natural features such as significant trees or vegetation makes widening and/or
improving the street or right-of-way impractical or undesirable.
2. The existence of a structure such as a substantial retaining wall makes widening the street or right-of-way
impractical or undesirable.
3. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way would eliminate street access to an existing lot.
4. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way would make building on a lot infeasible by reducing it
to dimensions where; (1) development standards cannot reasonably be met; or (2) under which the property
owner will have no reasonable use of the property.
5. One or more structures on the same side of the block as the proposed project are located in the area needed
for future expansion of the street or right-of-way, and the structure(s)' condition and size make future widening
of the remainder of the street or right-of-way unlikely.
6. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way is impractical because topography would preclude the
use of the street for vehicular access to the lot (for example due to an inability to meet the required maximum
driveway slope).
7. Widening, paving or street frontage improvements are unnecessary because (1) the street is adequate for
current and potential pedestrian and vehicular traffic, for example, due to the limited number of lots served by
the development, or (2) the development is on a street that is already developed at or near its zoned capacity
and the improvements would provide little public benefit,
8. The specific design of the future street is currently unknown, making immediate improvement impractical
and undesirable.
9. The installation of the required improvements would likely cause unacceptable significant adverse
environmental impacts that may not be mitigated as determined by the SEPA official, and the
waiver/modification would avoid such impacts.
10. There is insufficient street or right-of-way adjacent to the lot(s) and easement access cannot be obtained
across private property.
11. There is no street or right-of-way adjacent to the lots and easement access can be obtained across private
property.
12. In the case of engineered plans for street construction, when the public works department determines that
engineering is unnecessary due to the limited extent of the improvements, where short or dead-end streets have

Page 2/3
no foreseeable need to be joined to the city's existing street network at a future date, or where storm drainage
concerns are not at issue or are a minor issue.
13. Application of the rcqt6rements of the engineering design standards manual as applied to a particular
development would conflict with goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.
14. It is detarnined that developtnent of the property will create impacts which can only be later mitigated
through construction or an area -wide or neighborhood improvement and it would be unreasonable to require the
full improvement as a condition of the dcveloprnent,
15. It is determined that the street frontage improvements required in the engineering design standards manual
could best be accomplished by construction of area -wide improvements at a future date.
16. It is determined that requiring paving of an existing substandard street would be unreasonable because of
the limited impacts caused by the proposed development.
17. It is determined that private streets or access easements can provide necessary vehicular access, including
emergency vehicle access.
18. It is determined that emergency vehicle access is otherwise adequate.
C. Any waivers from the engineering requirement under this section do not exempt the do,eloper from submitting
plans which meet all other applicable specifications contained in the engineering design standards manual.

D. Criteria. A variance may be from all or part of the requirements of this chapter, may require other standards to be
satisfied by the applicant, and may be subject to any conditions which the public works director deems necessary to
carry out the purpose and intent of this title in the public interest, safety and welfare. In making his or her
determination, the public works director may grant a variance only upon specific written findings of fact and
conclusions showing that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of
other properties in the vicinity and zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
2. The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location
or surroundings of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties
in the vicinity and in the zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
3. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
4. The special circumstances of the subject property make the strict enforcement of the provisions of this title
an unnecessary hardship to the property owner; and
5. The special circumstances of the subject property are not the result of the actions of the applicant; and
6. The variance is the minimum necessary to fulfill the purpose and the need of the applicant; and
7. The variance is consistent with the purposes and intent of this title; and
8. The variance is consistent with the goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan; and
9. The fact that property may be utilized more profitably will not be an element of consideration before the
decision maker.
E. The public works director's decision shall be made by written findings and conclusions and is an administrative
decision which may be appealed by the applicant only pursuant to Chapter 1.14 PTMC, upon payment of an appeal
filing fee in the amount set forth by council resolution. (Ord. 3051 § I (Exh. A), 20 10; Ord. 2578 § 1, 1997).

In making his/her determination, the director may grant a variance only upon specific, written findings of
fact setting forth and showing that the following conditions exist:
1. Literal interpretation and strict application of the provisions and requirements of this chapter would cause
either:
a. Undue hardship on the applicant because of unique or unusual conditions pertaining to the subject
property; or
b. Loss or substantial modification of a sign which has been found by the historic preservation committee
to contribute significantly to the National Historic Landmark District;
2. The unique or unusual conditions do not result from actions of the applicant or owner of the subject property;
3. Granting the variance would not confer a special privilege to the subject property that is denied to other
similarly situated properties;
4. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the property owners in the vicinity or to the
traveling public;
5. Granting the variance would not be contrary to the objects of this chapter relating to the placement of signs
and the reduction of clutter; and
6. Granting the variance would be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter and would not
establish a precedent for subsequent variance requests which could diminish the effect of this chapter in
furthering these purposes,
D. In granting any variance, the director may attach thereto such conditions regarding the location, character and
other features of the proposed sign as he/she may deem necessary to carry out the spirit and purpose of this chapter
in the public interest.

avoided or otherwise mitigated. Through the integrated project review process described in this chapter, the

significant adverse environmental impacts. Development regulations generally enable project review
through the application ofestablished scientific standards, required studies and standard mitigation
measures,

G. Effect of Project Permit Application Revisions —Substantial Revisions„ If, in the judgment of the director, the
content of an application is so substantially revised by an applicant, either voluntarily or to conform with
applicable standards and requirements, that such revised proposal constitutes a substantially different proposal
than that originally submitted, the director shall deem the revised proposal to be a new application.
I , In reaching a decision whether a revision is substantial, the director shall consider the relative and absolute
magnitude of the revision, the environmental sensitivity of the site, any changes in location of significant
elements of the project and their relation to public facilities, surrounding lands and land uses and the stage
of review of the proposal.
2. Lesser revisions that would not constitute substantial revisions during early stages of review may be
substantial during later stages due to the reduced time and opportunity remaining for interested parties to
review and comment upon such changes,
3. Written notice of'such determination of substantial revision shall be provided to the applicant and all
parties of record, including the reasons for the director's decision,
4. A determination that any revision is substantial shall result in the time periods mandated by the Regulatory
Reform Act, Chapter 36,70B RCW, set forth in this chapter starting from the date at which the revised
project application is determined to be complete, The revised project application shall be subject to all
laws, regulations, and standards in effect on the date of the determination of completeness of the substantial
revision,
5. If the revision has a hearing upon or affects HPC review, the director shall refer the application to FIPC for
additional mandatory public meeting(s) as necessary. (Ord, 3026 § I (Exh. A-4), 2010; Ord,. 2762 § I,
2001; Ord, 2521 § I, 1996).
