Problem Statement
The Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is responsible for
emergency management services for all of Jefferson County, including within the City of Port
Townsend. DEM conducts disaster preparedness education and outreach to the community,
maintains readiness of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC); writes and updates disaster
plans, including the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and Hazard
Mitigation Plan (HMP); manages a cadre of disaster response volunteers; and broadly supports
disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
DEM has long been under-resourced to support such a broad mission, relying extensively on its
volunteers and tenuous federal grant funding. As climate change increases the frequency and
severity of disasters, federal disaster support remains in flux, and demand and awareness from
the general public and partners for disaster preparedness activities heightens, the department is
seeking ways in which to increase coordination and improve capacity.
By reimagining the governance, organizational, and funding structures of DEM, we hope to build
a system in which public safety stakeholders can identify needs (what we want to do); identify
resource and funding gaps; determine ways to fill those gaps; and finally develop a path forward
to build disaster preparedness, response, and resilience capacity through collaboration and
unified effort.
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026 1
Options for DEM Support and/or Reconfiguration
Option 1 - Status Quo
DEM's current annual budget of $247K is funded primarily through the county's General
Fund (GF), with about 15 to 20% funded through two annual grants from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). DEM staff consists of 2.8 FTE: one full-time Director,
one full-time Program Coordinator (responsible for volunteer management and grants/finance),
and two part-time clerk hires (limited to 69 hours/month). Each clerk hire is fully grant -funded;
one works as a Public Information Officer, supporting DEM's education and outreach, and the
other as a Planning Coordinator, working to improve the EOC's Planning Section and facilitating
the Local Emergency Planning Committee hazardous materials review board.
Pros: Continuing with this model would require no additional financial support from public
safety partners. DEM would continue with its work as it has historically, relying extensively on
volunteer support, with a need to carefully triage projects and focus areas with limited
resources. Despite lack of resources, DEM has traditionally exhibited an ability to "do more with
less" and would continue to do so, even though the need to do more has continued to increase.
Cons: DEM's volunteer network, while also one of its major strengths, constitutes a
major weakness, as volunteer support can often be tenuous. Many of DEM's volunteers are
retirees whose overall reliability and commitment to day-to-day organizational work vary greatly.
The county is currently experiencing a deficit in its GF budget, and although DEM is the smallest
county department with a relatively small budget, further cuts may be necessary. Federal
funding to support DEM's two clerk hires and DEM's outreach program are not guaranteed year
to year.
Option 2 - Emergency Management Advisory Council
Many communities have established a council or committee to provide overall direction,
prioritization, and feedback to their emergency management department and the collection of
public safety partners that form the Emergency Operations Center Organization. Establishing
such a Council would give key partners a more direct input mechanism into DEM's activities and
would allow for more holistic, community -wide planning as it relates to emergency management.
Additionally, through participation via an EM Council, partners could provide financial support to
bolster DEM's capabilities based on priorities agreed upon by the group. One such example
being additional staff to support interagency coordination and planning, or direct support for
Emergency Operations Center readiness.
Pros: More direct participation, feedback, and decision making around emergency
management activities. Potential for increased financial support and capability for DEM, with the
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026
cost burden shared amongst partners. Would only require new/updated ILAs with partners
interested in participating on Council.
Cons: Yet another committee. Many potential partners/committee-members are
experiencing their own financial difficulties. Does not immediately or inherently bolster DEM's
resourcing or capacity.
Option 3 - Emergency Management Board (i.e., independent governance structure)
Many communities have established a governance structure —related to but independent
of the county government —to provide overall direction, prioritization, and feedback to and
management of their emergency management department and the collection of public safety
partners that form the Emergency Operations Center Organization. Establishing such a Board
would give key partners a more direct role to govern DEM's activities and would allow for more
holistic, community -wide planning as it relates to emergency management. Additionally, through
participation via an EM Board, partners could provide financial support to bolster DEM's
capabilities based on priorities agreed upon by the group, as well as financial, staffing, and/or
in -kind support from member organizations. Potential seats in a governance Board for Jefferson
County DEM include, but are not limited to, the following organizations: Jefferson County Board
of County Commissioners, Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson County Public Works,
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, City of Port Townsend City Council, City of Port Townend
Policy Department, Jefferson County Public Utility District No. 1 Commission, Port of Port
Townend Commission, Fire District representation for Commissioners and Chiefs (TBD),
Jefferson County Hospital District No. 2 Commission.
Pros: More direct participation, feedback, and decision -making around emergency
management activities. Increased "buy -in" through financial support and capability for DEM, with
the cost burden shared amongst Board member organizations. Raises the possibility that a
dedicated revenue stream for a new agency could be created, similar to how JeffCom is funded.
Cons: Yet another independent governance Board. Many potential partners/committee-
members are experiencing their own financial difficulties. May be challenging to establish.
Moves direct decision -making away from Jefferson County itself. Implies the need to establish
capabilities for a new agency —such as HR, financial management, etc. —similar to when
JeffCom was created years ago.
Option 4 - DEM merger with JeffCom 911
Like DEM, JeffCom 911 is a public safety agency that coordinates with key public safety
partners in support of the community. DEM and JeffCom coordinate closely during EOC
activations. As with the Advisory Council or Board concepts, many other communities have
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026
partnered their 911 and EM functions under the same organizational umbrella. JeffCom has an
existing Board which would then in turn provide direction to both the 911 dispatch and
emergency management activities under the new organization, without the need for a
new/additional governing body. JeffCom is already partially funded by an Interlocal Agreement
(ILA) through the organizations it supports, all of whom are key DEM public safety partners (law
enforcement, fire).
Pros: Leverage existing JeffCom Board and organization. Board can provide feedback
and prioritization similar to Council without the need to create a new organization. JeffCom's
existing funding model can be used as a mechanism to provide additional resourcing to DEM, if
desired. This move would allow DEM to focus primarily on its core emergency response
functions and development of the EOC as an extension of JeffCom 911 dispatch services.
JeffCom has in-house admin to support functions DEM staff must currently oversee, like grant
and finance, freeing up capacity among existing staff.
Cons: County's support for DEM includes $247K budget plus indirect support (i.e., "cost
allocation" and "cost recovery") in facilities/information services support. Funding model for
JeffCom would have to be revisited to account for DEM's inclusion and for equity among
participating partners. Several ILAs would have to be reviewed and updated or rewritten.
JeffCom's existing board structure may not adequately provide representation to DEM's existing
stakeholders or key partners; JeffCom Board may consider adding an emergency management
subcommittee or other model to include representation beyond JeffCom's five existing board
members.
Opportunities for Capacity Building
DEM is mandated by Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) to maintain an active emergency management program and perform several other
functions. Those requirements are as follows:
• WAC 118-30-040: Establish emergency management organization. Each political
subdivision must establish an emergency management program and appoint a director.
Per the WAC, "Emergency management program means a system that provides for
management and coordination of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and
recovery activities for all hazards."
• RCW 38.52.070: Maintain program for alert and warning "notifying significant population
segments of life safety information during an emergency." This includes the Nixle text
alert system, maintaining "Alerting Authority" status under FEMA for access to Integrated
Public Alert and Warning System (I PAWS) (under Public Law 114-143 amending the
2002 Homeland Security Act), and communication procedures outlined in the
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP or EM Plan).
o RCW also includes emergency authorities during declared disasters and
requirements for Comprehensive Plan.
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026
• WAC 118-30-060: Development of Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Each
political subdivision must produce a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and
submit an update to the state every five years. The plan must be tested by an exercise
or EOC activation at least every five years. The full list of plan requirements is listed in
the WAC. Our last CEMP update was approved by the state in February 2025.
• WAC 118-04: Registration of emergency workers and training mission numbers for
emergency operations, including search and rescue operations. Facilitate claims and
reimbursements outlined in chapter 38.52 of the RCW.
• WAC 118-09: To receive emergency management assistance funds, local jurisdictions
must have a standalone emergency management department with a separate budget, at
least one employee whose duties are at least half-time focused on emergency
management programming, and must meet the CEMP requirements in 118-30-060.
• WAC 118-40: Establish a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) in compliance
with the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of 1986 (synonymous
with SARA Title III).
• Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121
through 5207: Update Hazard Mitigation Plan every five years for State and FEMA
approval. Necessary for access to state and federal grant funding and disaster response
reimbursement during federally declared emergencies.
In addition, DEM's other functions, essential to a robust emergency management program, the
safety and well-being of the Jefferson County community, and the expectations of the
stakeholders, include but are not limited to:
• Outreach and education, including regular informational presentations, training for
volunteers and the general public, and All County Preparedness Day
• Plan development beyond the CEMP requirements outlined in WAC 118-30-060, such
as development of a Comprehensive Evacuation Plan or Emergency Feeding Plan
• Training, development, and exercise to support the development of the Incident
Management Team
• Management of an overarching volunteer program that includes Volunteer Emergency
Communicators (VECOM), Neighborhood Preparedness (NPREP), Medical Reserve
Corps (MRC), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Disaster Air Response
Team (DART), Help Equines, Livestock, and Pets (HELP), and the Grassroots
Emergency Education Network (GREEN)
• Plan development assistance for community partners (Port Ludlow Village Council,
Chimacum school district as recent examples)
Through additional staffing, financial resources, or in -kind support, DEM can build capacity to
support several outstanding community needs that have been previously requested or identified
by stakeholders, but have thus far not been able to be addressed. Some examples include:
• Planning support and capacity building for City of Port Townsend -specific emergency
management issues. Additional staff resources could work directly with City staff and the
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026
Port Townsend community to provide training for City staff, and build an emergency
response structure and plan for the city.
• Climate change planning. A recent climate change summit for Jefferson County staff
identified the need for a central coordinator to help convene stakeholders working on
climate change resilience and to help coordinate work. DEM has historically only partially
engaged in this work to focus on response issues. Additional staffing capacity would
allow DEM to both engage further in climate change resilience work and potentially help
lead/coordinate.
• Additional planning assistance for partner orgs. Many organizations require expertise
and assistance performing organizational readiness assessments and continuity
planning. Many other emergency management organizations/collectives, like the Clark
County Regional Emergency Services Agency (CRESA), provide this service to
stakeholder organizations.
• Additional training and development for Incident Management Team members. Many
positions with the Jefferson County Emergency Operations Center are understaffed
and/or are staffed by those with adequate training. Additional resourcing would allow
DEM to improve capacity among IMT members, which would result in improved disaster
response outcomes for the community.
Integration with Related Resiliency Programs
Several communities have recognized the dual importance of disaster readiness and response,
and overall community resiliency. Community resilience includes a broad range of important
work beyond basic disaster preparedness and emergency response activities, including but not
limited to things like climate change preparedness and adaptation, food security, housing
security, healthcare access, and community wildfire protection. Another consideration is
whether DEM could be expanded or enhanced to integrate other local resiliency efforts into its
overall mission, becoming an organizing and coordinating entity for efforts across multiple
jurisdictions and departments. If a new governance structure is developed for DEM, this new
mission (or missions) can be prioritized and resourced by participating agencies.
Snohomish County established the Office of Recovery and Resilience during the COVID-19
pandemic to coordinate recovery efforts, improve community engagement, and work alongside
its Department of Emergency Management on issues relating to resilience.
There are other models elsewhere that could be inspiration for structure change here in
Jefferson County. For example, there is the Disaster Relief Mobilization -Community Resiliency
Model (DRM-CRM) used in Santa Cruz, California. The Santa Cruz County Office of Response,
Recovery, and Resilience features a mission that includes emergency management, climate
adaption, and food resilience.
WORKING DRAFT: last updated 511412026
Climate Change
One local consideration is whether DEM could be expanded or enhanced to integrate other local
resiliency efforts, such as climate adaptation, food resilience, and the like, whether in
conjunction with the joint Climate Action Committee (CAC) or as the principal staff support for
CAC. One outcome of Jefferson County's recent climate summit was the recognition of a need
for a principal coordinator of climate change work, both within county government and among
the broader community.
By adding additional capacity and rethinking DEM's overall mission, a coordinator within the
new office could have bring community stakeholders together to synchronize climate change
work, either by transforming the CAC into a new entity featuring stronger partnerships, or be
serving as a dedicated coordinator for the existing joint venture.
Housing
One often overlooked aspect of community resilience is affordable housing. Housing represents
a major component of disaster recovery, as communities rebuild following a major disaster and
families look to return home after being displaced from their homes. Prior to a disaster, many
local agencies struggle to recruit and retain members of their workforce due to a lack of
affordable housing in the area, and the rising cost of housing continues to contribute to
homelessness. Additionally, studies have showed affordable housing is a key aspect of
individual disaster preparedness; for example, renters are often less prepared for disasters than
homeowners, as they have less resources and incentive to store supplies or make
improvements to their living space. At its score, safe, affordable housing acts as a foundation of
economic and social stability.
Similar to the issue of climate change, there have been calls for a coordinating entity to help
facilitate conversations and guide collaborative work on the issue of affordable housing. This
function could also live within a DEM office with an expanded focus and resources, guiding day
to day work around issues relating to housing while also conducting planning and coordination
around disaster response and recovery as it relates to damage assessment, debris
management, and other housing -related disaster response issues.
Food Security
Finally, food security is another issue that is being worked on by a loose conglomeration of
various groups, including the CAC, Local 20/20, Jefferson County Food Bank, WSU Extension,
and others. DEM has worked with these groups specifically on the issue of emergency food
response and distribution, but more work remains on developing a holistic plan for food security
on the Peninsula.

SUMMARY STATEMENT. The City issued a .R g. ! fc�,r, pr ii r , f,l,r , ,r ,(,I F ,I„)
for......._th. _ van _Mists _ (g borhood development opportunity and received three
proposals. This agenda item briefs City Council on each shortlisted respondent's
development concept, phasing approach, affordability strategy, and implementation
framework.
Related Northwest, Edlen & Co, and Coppertop Construction LLC each proposed a
phased, mixed -income neighborhood supporting affordable housing, workforce housing,
community amenities, infrastructure delivery, and long-term stewardship. The proposals
differ in unit mix, Phase 1 strategy, schedule, affordability depth, team structure, and
financing approach.
Request for Expressions of Interest Evaluation Criteria. RFEI responses were
evaluated under a 100-point framework focused on five categories: project team
experience and capacity; site development concept; affordable and workforce housing
outcomes; financial feasibility; and amenities or other community goals. The criteria
emphasized Master Site Plan alignment, feasible Phase 1 delivery, long-term
affordability, infrastructure and phasing readiness, financial capacity, and consistency
with City housing and community development objectives.
Shortlisted Firms. The Evaluation Committee reviewed the proposals for consistency
with City goals, financial feasibility, implementation capacity, affordability outcomes,
infrastructure strategy, and alignment with the Evans Vista Master Site Plan. The
Evaluation Committee consist of nine members, including Amos Callender, Principal,
Thomas Architecture Studios; Austin Watkins, City Attorney; Bob Collins, Director of
Housing and Community Strategy, Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County;
Emma Bolin, Director of Planning and Community Development; Eric Jones, Executive
Port Townsend Municipal Code Page 2/3
Director, Housing Solutions Network; Lizanne Coker, Executive Director, Jefferson
County Homebuilders Association; Ryan Harriman, Planning Manager; Steve King,
Director of Public Works; Terry McHugh, Real Estate Agent and Evans Vista broker.
Based on that review, Related Northwest and Edlen & Co have been selected to
advance to the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase. The RFP will allow the shortlisted
teams to sharpen their concepts and submit refined, detailed proposals for Evans Vista.
The RFP will further evaluate each team's development approach, affordability strategy,
site design, financing plan, infrastructure assumptions and feasibility, phasing schedule,
team qualifications, community benefits, and capacity to deliver a complete mixed -
income neighborhood consistent with City goals.
Related Northwest. Related Northwest proposes to serve as master developer, long-
term owner/operator, and project sponsor, supported by Scott Edwards Architecture,
Walsh Construction, and GLI Advisors. The concept includes approximately 259 to 315
units, including affordable and workforce rentals, market -rate rentals, and approximately
16 for -sale townhomes. The proposal emphasizes higher density near the eastern
gateway, garden -style rental buildings, western -edge townhomes, a central community
building, open space, community gardens, trail connections, and arts- and wellness -
focused resident services. Phase 1 is proposed as an approximately 75-unit affordable
housing building serving households at 30% to 60% AMI, financed through Low -Income
Housing Tax Credits, public subsidy, and infrastructure funding.
Edlen & Co. Edlen & Co proposes to serve as master developer for a mixed -income
neighborhood designed to exceed the City's minimum affordability requirement. The
concept includes 300 or more rental apartments and more than 20 affordable
homeownership units, organized around middle -income apartments, subsidized
affordable rentals, and affordable ownership. Phase 1 is proposed as approximately 140
to 160 middle -income rental units at the site entrance, with approximately 25 percent
priced at or below 80% AMI for 50 years. Later phases would deliver subsidized
affordable housing at or below 60% AMI and affordable ownership at or below 80% AMI.
The proposal emphasizes phased infrastructure, potential childcare or community -
serving uses, shared open space, pedestrian connectivity, and flexibility based on
funding and market conditions.
Based on that review, Related Northwest and Edlen & Co have been selected to
advance to the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase. The RFP will allow the shortlisted
teams to sharpen their concepts and submit refined, detailed proposals for Evans Vista.
The RFP is the second phase of the Evans Vista developer selection process. It invites
Related Northwest and Edlen & Co to submit implementation -ready proposals with
detailed site plans, affordability commitments, subsidy requests and city involvement,
phasing and infrastructure strategies, financing plans, budgets, schedules, ownership
structures, and long-term operations plans. Proposals are due by September 4, 2026.
This briefing is intended for discussion only and does not request Council action at this
time.

3. High Level Project Concept
Vision Overview
The Evans Vista Neighborhood is envisioned as a phased, mixed income gateway neighborhood
designed to strengthen the long-term economic, social, and cultural resilience of Port Townsend
through the delivery of attainable housing, workforce housing, senior -oriented housing, and
community -centered neighborhood infrastructure.
The proposed development concept seeks to advance the City of Port Townsend's vision for Evans
Vista as a complete and connected neighborhood that balances affordability, environmental
stewardship, walkability, and community identity while creating a durable long-term community asset.
The development team recognizes that Evans Vista represents more than a housing development. The
project is intended to function as a catalyst for long term workforce stabilization, community
preservation, and sustainable neighborhood growth while addressing the severe housing shortages
currently impacting Port Townsend's local workforce, seniors, lower income households, and younger
residents seeking attainable housing opportunities within the community.
The proposed conceptual framework emphasizes: Mixed -income housing delivery, Workforce and
"missing middle" housing, Long term affordability preservation, Senior oriented housing
opportunities, Walkable neighborhood design, Environmental stewardship, Community gathering
spaces, Childcare integration, Human scale development patterns, Connectivity to trails, transit,
schools, and employment centers
The development team intends to pursue a neighborhood concept that reflects the character,
creativity, and long term community values associated with Port Townsend while supporting a
financially feasible phased implementation strategy.
Conceptual Neighborhood Vision
The Evans Vista Neighborhood is conceptually organized as a mixed -housing community consisting of
multifamily residential buildings, walk-up apartments, townhomes, and potential mixed -use structures
integrated around shared open space, pedestrian pathways, community gathering areas, and
preserved natural landscape features.
The proposed neighborhood structure seeks to create: A walkable residential environment, Strong
internal pedestrian connectivity, Integration with the Larry Scott Trail network, Community oriented
open spaces, Access to neighborhood -serving amenities, Human -scale building relationships, Flexible
phased infrastructure implementation
The project vision prioritizes neighborhood cohesion and long-term livability by integrating residential
density with accessible open space, community amenities, and environmental preservation strategies.
The development team intends to preserve and integrate natural features where feasible while
maintaining flexibility for future infrastructure and phased development coordination.
Housing Program & Income Targeting
The proposed conceptual housing strategy is intended to support a broad range of residents and
income levels currently underserved by the existing Port Townsend housing market.
The preliminary development vision contemplates a mix of: Multifamily apartment buildings, Walk-up
apartment structures, Workforce housing units, Senior -oriented housing units, Townhome-style
housing, Potential mixed -use residential structures, Potential limited homeownership opportunities
The overall site buildout is anticipated to generally align with the City's conceptual Master Site Plan
assumptions of approximately 321 residential units, while maintaining flexibility to respond to future
financing structures, infrastructure sequencing, entitlement coordination, and market conditions.
The proposed affordability structure is anticipated to include:
• Deeply affordable housing units serving households between 30%-50%AMI
• Affordable housing units serving households at or below 80%AMI
• Workforce and "missing middle" housing serving households between 80%-120%AMI
The development team recognizes the City's emphasis on supporting: Essential workforce residents,
Lower -income households, Seniors, Younger working families, Multi -generational households,
Residents at risk of displacement
The project's conceptual housing strategy is therefore intended to support a balanced and inclusive
neighborhood environment that reflects Port Townsend's long-term housing and workforce needs.
Workforce & Community Support Strategy
The Evans Vista Neighborhood is intended to support the long-term retention of the local workforce
essential to Port Townsend's economic and social fabric.
The project concept specifically seeks to provide attainable housing opportunities for:
• Teachers, Healthcare workers, Maritime industry employees, Tradespeople, Municipal employees,
Hospitality and service workers, Childcare professionals, Local artisans and makers, Seniors on
fixed incomes, Younger professionals entering the local workforce
The development team recognizes that housing affordability and workforce stability are directly
connected to the long-term sustainability of Port Townsend's economy, schools, healthcare systems,
and small business community.
The project is therefore intended to function not only as residential development, but also as long-
term workforce and community stabilization infrastructure.
Site Organization & Community Integration
The conceptual site organization generally aligns with the Evans Vista Master Site Plan framework by
supporting:
• Phased residential development
• Mixed -housing typologies
• Centralized community -oriented open space
• Pedestrian connectivity
• Environmental stewardship
• Integration with adjacent transportation infrastructure
• Connectivity to the Larry Scott Trail and surrounding subarea
The project vision incorporates opportunities for:
• Community gathering areas
• Shared open space
• Community gardens
• Childcare -oriented uses
• Flexible mixed -use neighborhood -serving spaces
• Walkable internal circulation
• Public art integration
• Human -scale neighborhood interaction
The development team recognizes the importance of creating a neighborhood that feels authentically
connected to Port Townsend's cultural identity and community values.
As such, the conceptual vision seeks to balance increased housing capacity with:
• Thoughtful neighborhood design
• Environmental sensitivity
• Community interaction
• Long-term livability
• Preservation of neighborhood character
The development team also recognizes the importance of integrating Evans Vista into the broader
Rainier Street and Upper Sims Way Subarea vision by supporting:
• Economic sustainability
• Housing accessibility
• Walkability
• Multimodal transportation access
• Neighborhood -serving activity
Alignment with Evans Vista Master Site Plan
The proposed conceptual vision is intended to generally align with the City's Evans Vista Master Site
Plan by advancing:
• Mixed -income housing delivery
• Flexible phased development
• Workforce housing opportunities
• Community -serving amenities
• Open space integration
• Environmental stewardship
• Walkability and trail connectivity
• Human -scale neighborhood design
• Long-term affordability goals
The development team understands that the Master Site Plan is intended to function as a flexible
framework rather than a prescriptive site mandate and believes this flexibility is critical to supporting
long-term project feasibility, financing coordination, and phased implementation.
The proposed conceptual approach is therefore intentionally illustrative and adaptable while
remaining aligned with the City's stated objectives for affordability, sustainability, community
integration, and long-term neighborhood resilience.
The Evans Vista Neighborhood represents a rare opportunity to create a lasting public benefit project
that strengthens Port Townsend's workforce, preserves community accessibility, and delivers a
resilient mixed -income neighborhood capable of serving future generations.
4. Preliminary Phase 1 Concept I Phase 1 Development Vision
Phase 1 of the Evans Vista Neighborhood is envisioned as the initial implementation phase of a long-
term mixed -income community that can operate independently while supporting future expansion.
The concept is designed to establish the neighborhood's residential character, infrastructure
framework, and community identity while advancing the City's goals for affordability, workforce
housing, sustainability, and connectivity.
Key priorities include:
• Financialfeasibility
• Infrastructure readiness
• Workforce and affordable housing delivery
• Walkability and connectivity
• Flexible phased implementation
• Community -oriented design
The development team intends for Phase 1 to serve as both an immediate housing solution and the
foundation for future neighborhood growth consistent with Port Townsend's values of livability,
sustainability, and community wellbeing.
Preliminary Unit Program
Phase 1 is anticipated to include approximately 75-110 residential units, primarily multifamily and
walk-up apartments, with potential townhome-style units depending on final planning and financing.
The proposed housing mix may include:
• Affordable housing
• Workforce and "missing middle" housing
• Senior -oriented units
• Family -oriented multifamily housing
• Accessible smaller units
Affordability targets may include:
• Units at or below 80%AMI
• Deeper affordability at 30%-50% AM I
• Workforce housing at 80%-120%AMI
The project is intended to support residents underserved by the current housing market, including
essential workers, teachers, healthcare professionals, seniors, working families, and moderate -income
households.
The development team intends to meet City affordability requirements while pursuing additional
affordability opportunities through public -private financing partnerships.
Preliminary Site Organization
Phase 1 is expected to be located in an area that supports efficient utility access, infrastructure
sequencing, site accessibility, and future neighborhood connectivity.
The site plan is intended to emphasize:
• Walkability and pedestrian connectivity
• Shared open space
• Community gathering areas
• Efficient circulation
• Long-term neighborhood integration
The development concept includes landscaped open spaces, pedestrian pathways, and flexible
community -oriented areas that can support future mixed -use or childcare -related opportunities.
The design approach emphasizes a human -scale neighborhood character that supports livability,
accessibility, and future phased growth.
Preliminary Infrastructure Improvements
Phase 1 infrastructure improvements are expected to provide the foundation for both initial
occupancy and future expansion.
Potential improvements include:
• Roadway and circulation improvements
• Water, sewer, and stormwater coordination
• Utility extensions
• Sidewalks and pedestrian infrastructure
• Grading and drainage improvements
• Landscaping and parking areas
Infrastructure will be phased to balance upfront costs with long-term scalability and operational
efficiency. The approach is intended to support future development while maintaining financial
feasibility during early implementation.
Standalone Viability & Long -Term Buildout Strategy
Phase 1 is designed to function as a complete and operationally viable standalone development while
also establishing the framework for future phases.
The initial phase is intended to support:
• Independent residential occupancy
• Stable operations
• Long-term affordability compliance
• Functional infrastructure
• Community -oriented activity
At the same time, Phase 1 will help establish:
• Scalable infrastructure systems
• Neighborhood circulation patterns
• Future utility integration
• Long-term site connectivity
• Architectural and community character
The overall strategy aligns with the Evans Vista Master Site Plan goals for mixed -income housing,
sustainability, walkability, affordability preservation, and phased neighborhood growth.
The development team believes this approach provides a realistic and scalable framework for
delivering long-term housing opportunities while supporting the City of Port Townsend's broader
community objectives.
5. Project Budget & Financing Strategy
Preliminary Development Cost Overview
The development team anticipates that Phase 1 of the Evans Vista Neighborhood will require a phased
and layered financing strategy designed to support long-term affordability, workforce housing
delivery, infrastructure coordination, and operational sustainability.
At this conceptual stage, primary development cost drivers are anticipated to include:
• Site infrastructure improvements
• Water, sewer, and stormwater coordination
• Utility extensions and roadway improvements
• Multifamily residential construction
• Site grading and drainage
• Environmental and permitting requirements
• Public infrastructure coordination
• Long-term affordability compliance requirements
The development team recognizes that affordable and workforce housing developments in high -cost
construction environments require careful coordination between public subsidy sources, private
capital, and phased implementation strategies.
The project's preliminary financial approach is therefore intended to prioritize:
• Long-term feasibility
• Infrastructure -sensitive implementation
• Operational sustainability
• Long-term affordability preservation
• Phased scalability
Preliminary Financing Strategy
The development team anticipates pursuing a layered capital stack utilizing a combination of public
and private financing sources commonly associated with affordable and mixed -income housing
development.
Potential financing sources may include:
• Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity
• Washington State Housing Trust Fund resources
• Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) funding coordination
• Federal and state housing grants
• Local infrastructure participation
• Tax-exempt bond financing
• Conventional construction financing
• Permanent multifamily debt
• Mission -oriented equity capital
• Strategic private investment partnerships
The development team recognizes that affordable housing developments often require multiple
coordinated funding sources due to the limitations associated with restricted affordable rental
revenue.
The proposed financing strategy is intended to support a balanced mixed -income housing model
serving:
• Lower -income households
• Workforce households
• Seniors
• Moderate -income residents
• Residents experiencing housing cost burden
The development team also recognizes that deeper affordability levels may require additional subsidy
layering or enhanced public funding participation to maintain long-term operational viability.
Anticipated Funding Gaps & Financial Considerations
At this conceptual stage, the development team anticipates that the primary financial pressures
associated with Phase 1 may include:
• Infrastructure and utility costs
• Construction cost escalation

• Interest rate volatility
• Public funding timing coordination
• Environmental and site -related costs
Conceptual strategies to address potential funding gaps may include:
• Layered public subsidy coordination
• Strategic phased implementation
• Flexible density planning
• Infrastructure -sensitive sequencing
• Public -private financing coordination
• Pursuit of mission -oriented capital sources
• Potential local participation and infrastructure support
The development team believes phased implementation and disciplined infrastructure sequencing
will be critical to maintaining overall project feasibility while supporting long-term neighborhood
buildout.
Guarantor & Financial Capacity
The development team anticipates coordinating with qualified financial and development partners
capable of supporting guarantor requirements associated with construction financing, tax credit
financing, and other public -private funding mechanisms if required during future project phases.
As the project advances, the team intends to engage additional affordable housing finance
professionals, legal advisors, and public funding consultants to support:
• Financing applications
• Compliance coordination
• Underwriting requirements
• Capital structuring
• Long-term operational planning
The proposed financing approach is intentionally flexible and conceptual at this stage while
demonstrating familiarity with the layered financing structures commonly associated with mixed -
income and affordable housing development.
6. Implementation Approach
Preliminary Implementation Strategy
The development team intends to implement the Evans Vista Neighborhood through a
phased development strategy designed to balance affordability objectives, infrastructure
coordination, financial feasibility, and long-term operational sustainability.
The implementation framework emphasizes:
• Disciplined phased development
• Infrastructure -sensitive sequencing
• Public -private collaboration
• Long-term affordability preservation
• Community -oriented neighborhood integration
• Flexible project scalability
The development team recognizes that Evans Vista represents a complex mixed -income
development initiative requiring coordination between public infrastructure improvements,
affordable housing finance, consultant -led technical planning, and phased residential
delivery.
As such, the project approach is intended to remain flexible while establishing a realistic
framework capable of advancing the project from conceptual planning through Phase 1
construction and long-term operations.

Edlen & Co proposes a development concept for the Evans Vista
Neighborhood that builds upon the City's Master Site Plan vision to deliver a
cohesive, flexible, and financially viable mixed -income community. Our
approach aims to achieve the City's goal of creating a neighborhood that
supports long-term affordability, housing diversity, and community
integration.
A central objective of our development strategy is to meaningfully exceed the
City's minimum affordability requirement. While the project requires that at
least 25% of units be affordable to households earning 80% of Area Median
Income (AMI) or below, our conceptual approach integrates affordability
across multiple housing types to deliver a substantially greater share of
income -restricted housing overall. This includes both the incorporation of
units affordable at or below 80%AMI within the middle -income rental
component, as well as the delivery of fully subsidized affordable housing
serving households at or below 60% AMI. Taken together, this layered strategy
ensures that affordability is not isolated to a single product type but instead
embedded across the development in a manner that expands access across a
broad spectrum of income levels and strengthens long-term project feasibility.
Based on our review of the Master Site Plan, zoning framework, and
development assumptions underlying the City's planning work, we are
confident that the Evans Vista site can support the anticipated scale of
development and achieve the City's density goal for 300+ total units. The
flexibility inherent in the M/C zoning designation, combined with the absence
of strict density caps, creates an opportunity to optimize unit yield while
tailoring housing types and phasing strategies to align with financial feasibility
and funding availability over time. We anticipate an in-depth study to assess
site framework decisions including tuck -under versus surface parking,
quantity of commercial space, site circulation, and layout.
Our conceptual framework organizes the site into a series of connected,
walkable development areas anchored by shared infrastructure and open
space, and unified through a mix of housing typologies that respond to Port
Townsend's housing gaps.

INTEGRATED HOUSING
The proposed program includes three primary housing components —middle -
income apartments, subsidized affordable rental housing, and affordable
homeownership —each designed to function independently while
contributing to a cohesive, integrated neighborhood. Rather than segregating
housing types by income, our approach emphasizes intentional integration
across the site to create a balanced, inclusive community where residents of
different income levels share access to infrastructure, amenities, and open
space. This structure supports long-term neighborhood stability, reduces
stigmatization of affordable housing, and aligns with best practices for mixed -
income development.
The program will provide 300+ rental apartment units, including middle- and
mixed- income and subsidized affordable, and 20+ affordable homeownership
units. A minimum number of units is proposed for each housing component,
with the final mix of middle -income (80%-120%AMI) and subsidized
affordable units (<60%AMI) to be determined in later phases. This approach
provides built in adaptability so the overall project can respond nimbly to
market conditions and funding availability.
\/III DDL1. II JC f.)I'ME APAI I'MLI J'I `r (8(YYc) 1 F,'I)% A\/III)
The middle -income rental component is anticipated to represent a minimum
of 140 units and a maximum of 240 units, with 140-160 units anticipated for
Phase I. These units will be spread across two to four buildings in one to two
phases and will serve as a critical element in delivering workforce housing
within the Evans Vista Neighborhood. This component directly addresses a
documented need in Port Townsend for housing options serving households
earning between 80% and 120% of Area Median Income —particularly those
who do not qualify for deeply subsidized housing but are increasingly priced
out of the local market.
These buildings will consist of a mix of market -rate units and income -
restricted units. The first phase will include 25% of the units priced at 80%
AMI for 50 years. Subsequent phases, if applicable, will include at least 20%
of the units priced at 80% AMI for 50 years. This blended approach
strengthens overall project feasibility by creating a cross -subsidization
structure that helps support deeper affordability elsewhere in the
development while still advancing the City's objective of delivering income -
restricted housing within multiple segments of the project.
From a design perspective, middle -income apartments are well suited to
multifamily and walk-up building typologies that can achieve efficient unit
density while maintaining compatibility with Port Townsend's scale and
character. These buildings may be organized in configurations that activate
internal streets, define neighborhood edges, and create transitions between
higher -density development areas and lower -scale housing typologies.
Placement of these units will be coordinated with key circulation corridors
and community -serving uses, including opportunities for vertical or horizontal
mixed -use development where feasible.
UE3S11)1)I:I) F+I1f.)IRDA 3LEl 10U SI JG (~:b)%A\/III)
The subsidized affordable housing component is anticipated to include a
minimum of 80 units and a maximum of 160 units in one to two phases
serving households earning 60%AMI and below. A minimum of 80 subsidized
units will be provided in Phase II, with more units possible in Phase II or Phase
III driven by funding availability and market conditions. Edlen & Co will
explore the potential to incorporate a portion of units targeted to
households at deeper affordability levels (30%-50%AMI) depending on
funding availability and partnership structures.
This housing will be delivered through established public financing
mechanisms, including Low -Income Housing Tax Credits and Washington State
Housing Trust Fund resources, and will be structured to meet or exceed the
City's minimum affordability requirements. Edlen & Co's experience navigating
complex, layered financing structures positions us to competitively pursue
these resources and align funding strategies with phased delivery of the site.
Affordable housing development will be intentionally aligned with
infrastructure sequencing to ensure that Phase I establishes a feasible
foundation for financing and construction. Subsequent phases may deliver
additional affordable housing depending on funding cycles and overall project
phasing strategy.
The design and location of subsidized units will prioritize integration with the
broader neighborhood. Affordable buildings will be comparable in quality,
materials, and architectural expression to market -rate and workforce housing,
reinforcing a unified community identity. These buildings will have direct
access to open space, pedestrian networks, and community amenities,
ensuring that residents benefit equally from the site's overall design and
programming.
The affordable housing component also provides an opportunity to address
the City's interest in serving specific populations, including seniors, families, or
residents with special needs. Edlen & Co will explore these opportunities in
coordination with potential service provider partners as the development
concept is further refined.
AFFOI/DA[13LE h-IOIMII: )A/I""JLI `rh-1If'(.111 )0%AN/11)
The inclusion of affordable homeownership is a key feature of our conceptual
approach and represents an important strategy for expanding access to
stable, long-term housing opportunities within Port Townsend. We anticipate
incorporating homeownership units restricted to households earning at or
below 80%AMI, priced to remain accessible to entry-level buyers and aligned
with long-term affordability goals.
Initial concepts contemplate townhomes or compact detached units as
primary homeownership typologies. These housing forms are well suited to
the Evans Vista site and align with the City's goal of expanding "middle
housing" options while maintaining compatibility with local neighborhood
character.
Following discussions with Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County, we
recognize the value of increasing the number of homeownership units and
carefully considering their placement within the site to foster a stronger sense
of community. Rather than distributing homeownership units in isolated or
residual locations, our approach would cluster these homes in intentional
groupings organized around shared open space, pedestrian connections, or
neighborhood greens. We would look to increase the number of proposed
homeownership units as space allows for a total of 20+ units. This
configuration supports a cohesive residential identity, enhances livability, and
creates opportunities for long-term resident investment and stewardship.
We will continue to coordinate with potential partners to refine the scale,
phasing, and delivery structure of homeownership units, recognizing that
these partnerships can also strengthen competitiveness for funding and
implementation support.

INTEGRATED SITE ORGANIZATION & PHASING FRAMEWORK ALIGNMENT WITH CITY GOALS
The Evans Vista Master Site Plan emphasizes flexibility and phased
implementation, and our conceptual approach is built around a clear
understanding that infrastructure sequencing will be the primary driver of
development feasibility.
Our framework envisions an initial phase anchored by middle- and mixed -
income housing that can support streamlined early financing while
establishing core infrastructure, including utilities, access roads, and
stormwater systems. Subsequent phases would build upon this foundation,
extending infrastructure incrementally while delivering additional housing
types driven by public funding timelines.
Site organization will reflect a balance between density and openness, with a
network of internal streets, pedestrian pathways, and open spaces creating a
connected and legible neighborhood pattern.
COMMUNITY INTEGRATION, AMENITIES, & NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY
Beyond housing delivery, Edlen & Co's concept emphasizes the creation of a
complete, inclusive neighborhood that supports social connection, economic
opportunity, and long-term community resilience. Opportunities for
community -serving amenities including childcare, gathering spaces,
community gardens, and small-scale commercial uses, will be explored in
coordination with overall site planning and financial feasibility. These uses are
not treated as standalone elements but are instead integrated into the site's
organization to support walkability and daily resident needs.
Particular attention will be given to creating welcoming, human -scale public
spaces that reflect Port Townsend's character and support informal
community interaction. This may include:
• Shared courtyards and greens
• Pedestrian -oriented streetscapes
• Integration of art and cultural elements
• Connections to the Larry Scott Trail and surrounding mobility network
Our approach also acknowledges the importance of environmental
stewardship and sensitive site design, including preservation of existing
natural features, incorporation of green infrastructure, and alignment with
applicable high-performance building standards.
Edlen & Co's conceptual approach directly advances the City of Port
Townsend's goals for the Evans Vista Neighborhood by:
• Delivering a mixed -income community that integrates affordable,
workforce, and homeownership housing
• Exceeding minimum affordability requirements through a
combination of income -restricted rental and ownership units
• Providing a diverse mix of housing types that addresses gaps in Port
Townsend's housing supply
• Establishing a realistic, phased development framework aligned with
infrastructure delivery and funding cycles
• Supporting long-term community integration through thoughtful site
planning, amenity integration, and design quality
Our concept is intentionally flexible and responsive to the City's request for a
non -prescriptive, high-level approach at the RFEI stage, allowing for
refinement in partnership with the City and community stakeholders.
Edlen & Co proposes a Phase I development strategy that establishes a
financially viable and operationally complete initial phase while positioning
the Evans Vista Neighborhood for long-term buildout. Our approach
prioritizes early feasibility, efficient infrastructure sequencing, and alignment
with public funding timelines for later phases.
Phase I is envisioned to include approximately 140-160 units of middle -
income rental housing located at the primary site entrance along Evans Vista
Drive. This location provides immediate access to transportation
infrastructure, enables efficient utility connections, and creates a strong
gateway for the broader neighborhood. By concentrating development at the
site entry, Phase I can function as a cohesive and fully independent residential
community while establishing early identity and momentum for future
phases.
The residential program will consist of a mix of market -rate units alongside a
targeted share of income -restricted units, with approximately 25% of units
priced at or below 80%AMI. This integrated approach directly supports the
City's workforce housing goals while maintaining a practical and financeable
delivery model. Phase I is structured to move forward as a public -private
partnership supported by a more traditional debt and equity capital stack,
allowing development to advance without reliance on competitive public
subsidy in the initial phase. The site's designation within an Opportunity Zone
further strengthens this strategy by creating the potential to attract mission -
aligned investors who may accept lower returns in exchange for long-term
community impact, improving overall feasibility.
In alignment with the City's vision for a vibrant, mixed -use neighborhood,
Edlen & Co will also evaluate opportunities to incorporate small-scale
commercial, or community -serving uses within ground -floor spaces,
particularly along primary frontages near the site entrance or internal
corridors. These uses will be studied carefully for market viability to ensure
long-term sustainability, with the goal of activating key edges of the
development and supporting a walkable, neighborhood -oriented
environment.
STANDALONE FEASIBILITY & EARLY ACTIVATION
A central objective of the Phase I strategy is to ensure that the initial phase
operates as a complete and viable standalone development. Phase I will
include all necessary infrastructure and site improvements to support full
occupancy, including access roads, utilities, stormwater systems, and
pedestrian connections. Building placement and site design will prioritize
functional circulation, shared open space, and livability from the outset.
Delivering a complete first phase mitigates early development risk, supports
financing and lease -up, and allows the project to proceed independently of
subsequent phases. At the same time, the scale of approximately 140 units
significantly exceeds the City's minimum Phase I threshold, reinforcing the
feasibility and impact of the initial phase.
ALIGNMENT WITH FUNDING STRATEGY FOR SUBSEQUENT PHASES
The Phase I approach is intentionally structured to allow subsequent phases —
particularly subsidized affordable housing (!560%AMI) and affordable
homeownership (!580%AMI)—to advance through Washington State funding
programs, including the Housing Trust Fund and Low -Income Housing Tax
Credit program.
By decoupling Phase I from these funding timelines, the project can move
forward on an accelerated schedule while allowing sufficient time to assemble
competitive financing packages and development partnerships for future
phases. This sequencing reduces delivery risk, avoids overcomplicating early
financing, and improves overall likelihood of successful implementation across
the full project.
INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY AND POSITIONING FOR FUTURE PHASES
Infrastructure delivery is a key determinant of project feasibility, and Edlen &
Co will implement a phased approach that supports immediate development
while preparing the Evans Vista site for long-term buildout. Phase I
improvements will include extension of primary access roads, installation of
water, sewer, and stormwater systems, and establishment of utility corridors
aligned with future development areas. These investments are intentionally
designed to serve Phase I while establishing an efficient framework for
subsequent phases.
Infrastructure will be strategically sized and located to balance cost efficiency
with long-term functionality. Key systems, including utilities and roadway
segments, will be designed to accommodate future connections where
feasible, with clearly identified tie-in points to allow later phases to proceed
without disruption to occupied areas. This approach minimizes redundant
construction, reduces future costs, and ensures a logical, constructible
expansion of the site.
By pre -positioning infrastructure in Phase I, the project establishes a strong
backbone for subsequent phases while maintaining near -term feasibility. This
strategy supports the efficient delivery of future affordable housing and
homeownership components aligned with Washington State funding cycles
and is consistent with the City's Master Site Plan emphasis on incremental
infrastructure delivery. Together, these elements provide a clear, cost-effective
pathway to full buildout while minimizing upfront capital burden.

Edlen & Co proposes a phased financing strategy fort he Evans Vista
Neighborhood that aligns capital sources with development sequencing,
allowingthe project to advance efficiently while supporting long-term
affordability objectives. Our approach reflects a clear understanding of the
capital requirements associated with infrastructure delivery, vertical
construction, and long-term operations, as well as the competitive nature of
public funding programs in Washington State.
At a high level, development costs for Phase I will be driven by site
infrastructure improvements, vertical construction of multifamily housing,
and site preparation associated with early activation of the project. Future
phases will introduce additional cost drivers related to deeper affordability
requirements, and community -serving components such as childcare and
homeownership. Edlen & Co's approach is to match each phase with an
appropriate capital stack, ensuring that each component is financially viable
on its own while contributing to the overall success of the project.
FINANCING STRATEGY BY PHASE
The Evans Vista Neighborhood will be delivered through a phased financing
strategy that leverages a combination of private capital, public funding
programs, and mission -aligned partnerships.

Phase I is structured to move forward with a traditional public -private
financing model supported by debt and equity with a focus on Opportunity
Zone investors. The inclusion of a mix of market -rate units alongside 25% of
the units affordable at 80% AMI allows the project to achieve a stable
operating profile, supporting conventional underwriting and access to private
capital.
Edlen & Co will explore opportunities to utilize a nonprofit ownership
structure in partnership with Northwest Community Housing Foundation to
access tax-exempt bond financing and other cost -of -capital advantages where
appropriate. This structure has been successfully deployed in comparable
projects to improve long-term affordability outcomes while maintaining
financial feasibility.

Action Programs (OlyCAP), which serves as the coordinated entry lead in
Jefferson County, would be engaged to ensure appropriate targeting and
program alignment.

The delivery of affordable homeownership units will be supported through a
combination of Washington State Housing Trust Fund resources and
conventional construction financing. Construction loans will be structured to
support phased delivery of ownership units, with take-out strategies aligned
with buyer income restrictions and long-term affordability mechanisms. This
approach ensures that homeownership opportunities are accessible while
maintaining financial feasibility and minimizing risk.

The last phase of the Evans Vista development will consist of middle -income
housing or affordable rental housing driven by funding availability and market
conditions. The intent for Phase III is to provide one or two multi -family
apartment buildings to reach the desired site density of 321+ total units, with
the financing strategy and target population left intentionally flexible. Once a
decision is made on middle -income or affordable rental for Phase III, the
financing strategy will follow a similar structure as the projects proposed in
Phase I and Phase II. This flexibility allows the project to adapt to demand and
market conditions following delivery of Phase I and Phase II.
FUNDING GAP CONSIDERATIONS & RISK MANAGEMENT
Edlen & Co recognizes that delivery of a project of this scale will require
careful coordination of funding sources and proactive management of
potential financing gaps. Key risks include infrastructure costs, construction
cost escalation, and the competitive nature of public funding programs. To
address these risks, the proposed strategy incorporates:
• Phased delivery aligned with funding availability
• Use of multiple funding sources to diversify capital stack risk
• Early investment in infrastructure that supports long-term cost
efficiency
• Flexibility to adjust unit mix and product type based on funding
outcomes
• Financial Capacity
Edlen & Co and its partners bring extensive experience structuring and closing
complex capital stacks involving private and public funding sources. Through
prior projects, the team has demonstrated the ability to secure tax credit
equity, navigate competitive funding processes, and deliver projects on time
and within budget.
Access to experienced financial partners, including equity investors, lenders,
and guarantors, further supports the team's capacity to advance Phase I and
subsequent phases. This institutional strength, combined with a disciplined
approach to underwriting and risk management, positions the team to
successfully implement the Evans Vista Neighborhood.

Following selection, Edlen & Co will initiate due diligence, early design, and
coordination with City staff through the pre -application and entitlement
process. The team will work collaboratively with the City to refine
development phasing, infrastructure sequencing, and financing strategies that
support timely implementation of the Evans Vista Neighborhood. Project
timing will ultimately be influenced by entitlement approvals, permitting,
environmental review requirements, funding availability, and market
conditions. Drawing on extensive experience delivering complex mixed -
income and public -private partnership developments, Edlen & Co will identify
a realistic and financially sustainable path forward that balances community
goals, affordability objectives, and long-term project feasibility.
Subsequent phases will be aligned with established Washington State
affordable housing funding cycles, including the Low -Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) program and Washington State Housing Trust Fund (HTF). These
processes require advance planning, competitive applications, and
coordinated closing timelines. Edlen & Co has extensive experience managing
these processes across complex capital stacks, including developments such
as The Nick Fish, which utilized tax credits, bonds, and multiple public funding
sources to deliver mixed -income and deeply affordable housing.
PRELIMINARY TIMELINE & KEY MILESTONES
Implementation will proceed through coordinated milestones designed to
support both Phase I delivery and long-term buildout:
I)UI 011I(11114(1 4(',))& Site analysis, consultantteamengagement,
and refinement of development strategy. Secure pre -development

The below timeline reflects Edlen & Co's capacity to begin work immediately
upon award. We acknowledged the City's desire to move Phase I forward
quickly and have proposed a timeline assuming initial financial feasibility for
Phase I is achieved in Q426. This timeline also assumes pre -development
debt is secured in Q426. Initial financial feasibility will be determined through
early underwriting and informed construction pricing in the RFP stage.

OWNERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE
The Evans Vista Neighborhood will be delivered through ownership structures
tailored to each housing type, ensuring compliance with financing
requirements, long-term affordability, and operational stability.
1110"'I k 1\/III0101 1 -1114( 01M1 I If7US1114(1
Phase I is anticipated to be owned and operated either by Northwest
Community Housing Foundation or an affiliated Edlen & Co entity, depending
on the final financing structure and operational strategy. The ownership
approach will prioritize long-term asset performance, operational stability,
and flexibility to respond to evolving market conditions. Edlen & Co has a
demonstrated track record of delivering and managing mixed -income housing
communities of similar scale, including projects that integrate market -rate and
income -restricted units within a single operational framework.
By structuring Phase I with a stable ownership platform and a conventional
financing approach, the development will support efficient lease -up,
predictable operations, and long-term financial sustainability. Edlen & Co's
experience delivering large-scale mixed -use and mixed -income
developments —such as Capitol Hill Station in Seattle, which required
coordination of residential, retail, and public space components within a
unified operating strategy —demonstrates our ability to manage complex
assets overtime while maintaining strong performance and community
integration
DUI"'d01/11)Al If'71RIV)11"II I 101U,1W,( (0%AIVI1)
Affordable rental housing will be developed through a single -purpose entity
structured to meet LIHTC and Washington State Housing Trust Fund
requirements, with ownership anticipated to include a nonprofit partner as
majority owner or a joint venture between a nonprofit partner and Edlen &
Co This approach reflects Edlen & Co's extensive experience delivering
income -restricted housing across a range of ownership models, including
nonprofit -led developments, joint ventures, and public -private partnerships
designed to meet complex funding and long-term compliance requirements.
Affordable homeownership is anticipated to be delivered through a
community land trust model owned by Northwest Community Housing
Foundation or a local community land trust such as Habitat for Humanity of
East Jefferson County. Edlen & Co has had an initial conversation with Habitat
and has agreed to keep the conversation open for further discussion. Edlen &
Co's experience delivering community land trust housing at Rooted at
Northpoint demonstrates the viability of this model, where ownership
opportunities are preserved long-term through stewardship by a nonprofit
partner.
OPERATIONS & RISK MANAGEMENT
The proposed ownership structures support long-term operations,
compliance, and resident stability across all housing types. Edlen & Co has
extensive experience delivering and operating mixed -income housing,
including projects that integrate affordable, workforce, and market -rate units
within a single development framework.
Key implementation risks —such as funding competitiveness, infrastructure
coordination, and phasing dependencies —are mitigated through a structured
delivery strategy that allows Phase I to proceed independently while aligning
future phases with funding cycles. This approach reduces early risk, maintains
flexibility, and ensures that each phase is financially viable and operationally
complete.
Edlen & Co has the financial capacity and institutional expertise to
successfully deliver the Evans Vista Neighborhood, including Phase I and
subsequent affordable housing phases. The firm has a track record of
structuring complex capital stacks and securing financing for mixed -
income and income -restricted developments, utilizing a broad range of
funding sources including tax credit equity, tax-exempt debt, and public
subsidy.
Through prior projects, Edlen & Co has demonstrated the ability to
manage projects with significant development complexity, coordinate
multiple funding sources, and deliver within established financial
parameters. This includes experience on large-scale mixed -income
developments such as Capitol Hill Station in Seattle, where Edlen & Co
(as part of its predecessor firm) managed a multi -site, multi -phase
development incorporating both market -rate and affordable housing
alongside retail and public space.
The firm's financial capacity is further supported by access to
experienced capital partners, lenders, and guarantors, as well as in-
house expertise in underwriting, financial modeling, and risk
management. This capacity enables Edlen & Co to advance Phase I using
conventional financing while positioning subsequent phases to
successfully compete for public funding.

page. Additional documentation can be provided on request.

Re: Letter of Endorsement - Edlen & Co., LLC
Our File No.: EDL011.0001
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to provide this letter recommending Edlen & Co., LLC in support of the
RFQ being submitted for the Lombard West Redevelopment Affordable Housing Projects.
This firm currently represents Edlen & Co. regarding numerous development projects.
Before formation of Edlen & Co. in 2020, we also had the privilege of working with the same
principals in their former development company, Gerding Edlen Development Company.
Our firm's relationship with Gerding Edlen and now Edlen & Co. dates back to the formation
of Gerding Edlen over 28 years ago. During that time period, we have been primary legal
counsel for these development companies for countless real estate development projects of
many kinds.
A summary of the projects we have worked on with these companies would fill several
pages. Here is summary of relevant experience:
Projects with Non -Traditional financing:
• 10 Low -Income Housing Tax Credit projects
• 11 New Market Tax Credit projects
• 14 projects with Tax -Exempt Bonds
• 10 projects with local jurisdiction gap funding (Metro Housing Bonds, Portland
Housing Bonds, LIFT, HOME, CDBG, tax -increment funds)
• Eight projects with Metro Transit -Oriented Development grants

Recent Projects with Traditional Financing:
• 10 projects in the last four years
• $200 million in debt raised
• $150 million in Equity raised
We have been fortunate to provide legal support for all of these projects and more.
Throughout our relationship with Edlen & Co. and its predecessor company, the companies
have demonstrated a unique ability to structure public and private financing for challenging
projects, obtain equity from high -net -worth individuals, nonprofit foundations, and various
equity funds.
Equally important, these companies find creative solutions to the many challenges which
confront any real estate project throughout the course of development. I can strongly
recommend Edlen & Co. for your consideration as developer of your project.
You are welcome to contact me for further information.
Very truly yours,

Rooted at Northpoint / Northpoint Vista is a transformational mixed -income housing initiative
in Redmond, Oregon, envisioned as a model for community -centered development in Central
Oregon and statewide. Enabled through Oregon House Bills 4079 and 2336, and supported by a
land contribution from Deschutes County, the broader 40-acre Northpoint Vista community will
deliver approximately 450 affordable, workforce, and market -rate homes integrated with
commercial space, childcare opportunities, a new public park, trail connectivity, transit access,
and community amenities.
The first housing phase, Rooted at Northpoint, is a permanently affordable homeownership
community developed by Edlen & Co. in partnership with RootedHomes Community Land Trust.
The project includes 30 energy -efficient single-family homes designed to expand
homeownership opportunities for low and moderate -income households through a shared
equity Community Land Trust model, promoting long-term affordability and neighborhood
stability. This phase is under construction.
The Master Development team of Edlen & Co. and deChase Miksis has partnered with the City
of Redmond to provide entitlement support, infrastructure coordination, and phased
implementation of the broader Northpoint Vista community. The City has secured
approximately $8.5 million in grant funding for the nearly complete infrastructure
improvements, with Rooted at Northpoint representing the first vertical housing phase within
the larger Northpoint Vista vision.

Gerding Edlen (predecessor company to Elden and Co.) was selected by Sound Transit (the
Seattle metropolitan area's transit agency) to serve as the master developer for four sites at the
new Capitol Hill light rail station. A Federal Transit Authority Joint Development project, the
development is truly mixed -income - 42% of the units are leased at below market -rate rents.
The project includes approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of retail anchored by the Asian supermarket,
HMART, with the remaining space broken into smaller shops leased by local businesses.
One of the four sites was set aside for affordable housing. Gerding Edlen partnered with a local
nonprofit, Community Roots Housing to develop Station House which includes 110 units
affordable to households that earn at or below 60% area median income. Station House also
includes a community room that was funded by the other three sites and is available for public
meetings and events. The other three sites, Ander South, Ander North and Park, participate in
Seattle's Multi- Family Tax Exemption program, resulting in another 68 below -market units
affordable to households that earn at or below 65%-85% of area median income. The project
includes a significant number of family -sized units, with 32% of the units two- and three -
bedrooms.
Capitol Hill Station includes a public plaza that serves as a permanent home for the Capitol Hill
Farmers Market as well as a location for other community activities and events. A partnership
with the Aids Memorial Pathway resulted in a public art program at the site and adjacent Cal
Anderson Park that creates a place for remembrance and reflection about the AIDS epidemic in
Seattle. All four sites received LEED for Homes Platinum and Salmon Safe certification.

RE: Housing RFEI Response - Related Northwest - Evans Vista
Dear Renata and members of the review committee,
Related Northwest (RNW) is pleased to submit the enclosed response to the City of Port Townsend's
Evans Vista RFEI. As proposed master developer, RNW is prepared to work diligently with Scott Edwards
Architecture, Walsh, and other project partners to establish a vibrant new neighborhood with a mix of
housing typologies, affordability levels, community -serving uses, and significant infrastructure.
Welcoming residents and visitors alike, Evans Vista will reflect the unique spirit of the Port Townsend
community through the inclusion of tailored design elements, gardens, art installations, and amenity
spaces focused on the arts, recreation and wellness.
Excellence, Expertise and Execution. Our experienced team is well positioned to deliver on the City's
master plan goals for Evans Vista. RNW's role is to lend our skillset in the areas of planning, design,
financing, construction, partnerships, service coordination, and operations. We have completed
several transformational housing developments in the Pacific Northwest, ranging from mixed -use,
urban infill projects to largerscale, master planned communities with significant new infrastructure and
amenities. RNW is backed by The Related Companies ("Related"), an industry leader and one of the
most prominent privately -owned real estate firms in the United States. Partners Scott Edwards
Architecture and Walsh Construction will contribute their substantial design and construction expertise
toward the creation of a welcoming, well-built Evans Vista Neighborhood.
Commitment to Community. RNW's commitment to community is at the forefront of all our projects.
Beyond our role in promoting access to affordable housing, we understand that this work is tied to
advancing economic resilience, community vitality, and environmental justice. We deliver on these
values by meaningfully engaging community to guide design and programming decisions;
emphasizing cultural placemaking through distinctive design elements; ensuring residents have access
to relevant services that increase stability and build connection; fostering local contracting and
workforce opportunities; and designing sustainable, climate -resilient buildings.
The Evans Vista Neighborhood represents an immense opportunity to deliver a complete housing
community that meaningfully contributes to the City's growth and feels like home for the residents of
Port Townsend. If selected for the RFP stage, our team looks forward to providing further details about
our development concept and implementation approach. Thank you for your consideration of our
interest in this project.
Sincerely,
Stefanie Kondor

Our initial vision for the Evans Vista community is closely aligned with the City of Port Townsend's goals
to provide diverse housing options and community -serving spaces, and reflects the team's expertise in
developing multiphase, mixed -income, and mixed -use communities. Our concept includes up to
approximately 315 market -rate and affordable/workforce units for households earning 30% to 120%
AMI. Along with indoor and outdoor community benefit and amenity spaces, RNW expects to
incorporate multiple housing typologies and populations, including affordable intergenerational living,
workforce housing, elevator -served and garden -style apartments, mixed -use buildings, and for -sale
townhomes. A phased approach supports efficient financing and the infrastructure work required to
create the neighborhood. The team would look forward to gathering community input to furtheradvise
the vision, housing typologies and affordability levels.
Our conceptual site plan includes 259-315 total units (243-299 rental depending on achievable
density, and 16 townhomes) plus 282 parkingspaces (236 off street, 30 street, and 16 townhome
garages). Actual unit count subject to change based upon further feasibility assessment.
Stf-e Girgainiza1l-lon. In efforts to maximize the site and provide efficient placement of buildings, our team
approached the site concept by working within the natural topography, preserving the steeply sloped
and forested areas at the southern and northern portions. We propose higher density at the eastern
edge, with an approximately 75-unit, four-story building that offers active ground -floor uses. As the
gateway into the Evans Vista neighborhood, this building will prioritize ground floor activation,
community benefit space, and prominent design features that set the tone for the new community.
Moving west across the site, the density steps down with groupings of garden -style rental buildings. At
the western edge, for -sale, stepped townhomes are an efficient typology to nestle into the more varied
terrain and offer residents views of The Sound. A ringed approach to traffic circulation includes
continuation of Evans Vista Road and surface parking spaces at the perimeter of the site. Residential
and community uses, open space, and pedestrian circulation are concentrated at the site's interior to
facilitate a campus -like setting. Our conceptual plan includes a centralized community building and
outdoor space, with additional green spaces throughout the neighborhood.
n
Reiafa111 III°� u sfin. Through a mix of four-story apartments and three-story, garden style walk-up
apartments, the community would serve both market -rate tenants and households earning 30% - 80%
AMI. Our preliminary site plan aspires to deliver a minimum of 243 rental units, with the option to increase
unit count to approximately 300 as market conditions allow by adding a fourth story to one or more of
the conceptual garden -style buildings. Phase I would include a four-story elevator -served project with
approximately 75 units and community -serving ground floor space. Along with centralized site
amenities (described below), each residential building or cluster of buildings would include laundry
and other amenity spaces such as resident services offices and community rooms. RNW proposes to
develop at least 50% of the units as affordable/workforce rental housing that will be subject to a
minimum 50-year affordability period, with RNW serving as long-term owner and operator. As the
master -plan developer, we will seek a market -rate development partner to build the remaining units.
If:: nr 5 111 III°� u sfin. The project team has done early outreach to local affordable homeownership
providers including Olympic Housing Trust and Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County. Not only
is there a need for affordable homeownership opportunities, but great interest from capable
community groups that see Evans Vista as a conduit to deliver on those needs. RNW also has
relationships with other regional affordable homeownership development firms, including those
participating in the master planned Hillside Park community. Our conceptual site plan includes 16
townhomes with stoops and rear garages, anticipated to serve households earning 60% to 120% AMI.

forward to conducting stakeholder outreach
to further understand the desires for amenity and
program spaces.
Aligning with the strengths and opportunities of the greater Port Townsend community, our initial
concept forsite services is an arts -based approach that creates social connections and a strong sense
of belonging for residents. Proposed service partner EngAGE is a national award -winning organization
that serves over 6,000 residents, including seniors and families, in 50 projects across the country,
including the Pacific Northwest. EngAGE is a current partner at three of RNW's housing communities
and would provide free intergenerational programs across all buildings at Evans Vista focused on well-
being, the arts, lifelong learning, and community building.

IDesi in Approach. Scott Edwards Architecture is an established leader in the design of multifamily
housing in the Pacific Northwest and brings a breadth of knowledge in market/affordable housing
design and master planning communities. The firm is well versed in small- and large-scale projects,
creative solutions to site constraints, and collaboration across a range of residential, commercial, and
civic uses. Collectively, the project team understands that while buildings are important, the shared life
of the community also happens in the spaces between the buildings. As such, we will approach
planning and design with consideration of Evans Vista as a holistic, well -integrated neighborhood.
Recognizing the regional beauty and unique spirit of Port Townsend, the project team envisions a
community inspired by intentional co -housing developments and artist -based communities. See
precedent images on the following page. We aim to deliver intergenerational living that prioritizes
universal design, community benefit, and a localized sense of place, drawing inspiration from the
whimsical, forested lands of the Pacific Northwest. First, the project team will work collaboratively with
community members, stakeholders, the City and consultants to develop a site plan that balances
community priorities with the physical realities of the site. Through this process, we will arrive at a
framework for building typology, scale, density, open/outdoor amenity space, infrastructure needs,
and a general direction for exterior and landscape design.
Once settled on a site plan, the team will begin design of Phase 1, including additional community
engagement to understand design preferences and priorities for unit mix, community space and other
features. Through a collaborative, iterative process and close coordination with any market -rate or
homeownership partners, we will ensure that key design elements are echoed throughout all phases
of the Evans Vista development for a community that feels intentional and cohesive. As with all RNW
projects, our goal will be to deliver a high -quality development that captures the unique spirit and
"funk factor" of the Port Townsend community through distinctive design elements and creative
placemaking. Example art elements from RNW's portfolio are shown below.
Our attention to art and
placemaking has become a
RNW signature, fostering
dignity and a sense of home
for residents. Examples include
murals reflecting nature and
music; a surprise fairy house;
and a slat wall of stained oak
that reflects the nearby
Willamette River.

The first phase of the Evans Vista development will be crucial given the amount of infrastructure work
that will be required to support the new community. The project team proposes a Phase 1 that consists
of approximately 75 units of affordable housing in an elevator -served, four-story apartment building.
This building would be financed as a 4% or 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit transaction and would
also compete for Washington State Housing Trust Fund financing and Connecting Housing to
Infrastructure Program Funding (CHIP), if available. This financing approach is most appropriate for
Phase 1 of the master plan so that the team can leverage the LIHTC equity and subsidy to support the
installation of a large portion of the infrastructure, including new roads and surface parking, and a
central community building envisioned to have a full kitchen and indoor/outdoor gathering spaces.
The Phase 1 building would serve individuals and households earning 30% to 60% AMI in a range of unit
sizes. Amenity space will be informed by community outreach but could include a movement room,
art studio and/or reading room, in addition to the site's central community building. The ground floor
of the Phase 1 building may also support active public -facing uses such as community classes, an art
gallery, or caf6. Onsite resident services focused on arts and wellness would be provided by EngAGE.
The conceptual Phase 1 schedule below reflects a streamlined predevelopment timeline that assumes
some amount of predevelopment funding will be made available. The schedule is subject to change
pending available predevelopment funding, availability of gap subsidy and LIHTC, and further due
diligence.

Public participation is critical to create a high -caliber community at Evans Vista that achieves
stakeholders' goals and endures as a long-term community asset. Upon award, the project team
would seek to understand the requirements, compliance and scope of any funding that the City has
secured to support the project. For Phase 1's affordable building and significant infrastructure, LIHTC
equity will be needed in addition to public subsidy, incentives, conventional debt, and potential
additional fundraising. Our initial envisioning of the multiphase project and potential funding sources
is subject to change as the concept is developed, however, based on availability, current vision and
experience, the project team would anticipate exploring any of the below sources of capital for Evans
Vista.
• 4% and 9% Low Income
Housing Tax Credits and Tax -
Exempt Private Activity
Bonds
• Full land write -down for
affordable housing
• Project Based Vouchers
• Full or Partial SDC
Exemptions
• Affordable Housing Property
Tax Abatement
• CDBG and HOME funds
• Infrastructure funding
• Storefront and/orTI Grants
• Grants, donors, and private
funds including Washington
Family Housing Fund
• Direct allocation of State or
Congressional funds
• Commercial debt
• WA Department of
Commerce funding

RNW has significant experience in layering local and state gap financing with tax credits. We are
backed by TRCLP of New York City, one of the most prominent privately -owned real estate firms in the
nation with a real estate portfolio of over $60 billion. As the developer, long-term owner and guarantor,
our firm has both the expertise and financial strength to execute a phased project delivering several
hundreds of units. Our active project pipeline provides us
with up-to-date knowledge of industry trends, strong
industry relationships, and experience securing competitive
funding. All of this contributes to RNW's ability to secure
highly competitive financing terms and adeptly navigate
the ever -changing financial landscape.
State and local subsidy, project -based vouchers, and
operating support are highly competitive in Washington.
Therefore, thoughtful phasing is particularly important. The
Washington State Department of Commerce sets priorities
for capital funding each year. If awarded the development
opportunity, we will further assess Phase I affordability levels,
population, and programming to meet community needs
and prepare a competitive funding application. At the RFP
stage, the project team will work to refine the building type,
programming and high-level pricing.

The project team will work diligently upon award to finalize a master plan and phasing plan that meets
the requirements of the City, incorporates feedback from community engagement, and is competitive
in state and local funding rounds. We will engage various community stakeholders through community
meetings and small group sessions for feedback on design, operations and implementation.
11:1roposed lD111 11 urnren11- aunt Ownership Slll-urulll-inure. RNW proposes to lead all aspects of the
development process for the affordable/workforce projects and infrastructure, including financing,
design, entitlements, construction, lease -up, and asset management. We will also oversee
coordination with subdevelopment partners responsible for any market -rate or homeownership
portions of the site. Related will be responsible for financial guarantees during both construction and
ongoing operation. We anticipate bringing on a nonprofit co-owner for any affordable/workforce
phases. In addition to involvement in key development decisions, our co -owners' primary
responsibilities typically include co -leading community engagement and leading on tenant outreach,
resident services, and application for annual property tax exemption, as applicable.
111llk un Iham l]ein . Cost containment is a significant driver of project feasibility. RNW will work closely
with Walsh and SEA to design structures for maximum cost efficiency, while delivering on city and
community goals. Examples include prioritizing three- to four-story, wood -constructed buildings where
appropriate; repeating units in a stacked configuration; sensitivity to mechanical, electrical, and
plumbing placement; and thoughtful material selection. Proactive planning will allow the project team
to move through design and permitting approvals as quickly as possible, reducing uncertainty around
cost increases and interest rate changes. Finally, RNW budgets for third -party construction
management on every project, which supports prudent decision making, reduces unforeseen
problems in the field, and leads to a more efficient budget and schedule.
Notably, RNW's stewardship of financial resources does not mean sacrificing quality. As long-term
owners and operators of housing, we recognize the value in making strategic investments in certain
design elements and materials selection. Such investments are key to successfully managing the
physical asset over its life and ensuring financial health of the project, while creating a sense of quality
and home for residents.
11:1 r llp dy un urn ein ll- aind II„easling. RNW has
selected Quantum Residential to provide
responsive, culturally appropriate property
management services at each of our properties.
We work closely with Quantum and our service
partners to develop criteria and policies that align
with our projects' service capacity, while not
creating disproportionate barriers to certain
populations. At Evans Vista, we would propose
Quantum as the property manager for all rental
properties to promote efficient staffing and
coordination across the neighborhood.

To effectively reach priority populations, our
team partners with community -based
organizations —for example, Central Cultural,
Immigrant and Refugee Community
Organization, and Impact NW —who work
directly with under-resourced populations.
By working with these partners and
distributing culturally and linguistically
appropriate information and application
materials, RNW is able to connect with
community -specific social networks for
leasing opportunities. To facilitate a similar
approach for Evans Vista, we would look
forward to building connections to local
employers, the school district, service
agencies, and community groups through
our engagement process.
Suppoiirlll-lug Ifl Grlll-1 III°� a sfing OU11-cornes. RNW recognizes that strong coordination between ownership,
property management, and service providers is essential to supporting long-term housing stability. We
will meet regularly Quantum and service providers throughout lease -up and operations to ensure
responsive, real-time coordination. Property Managers will maintain a clear and supportive onsite
presence, providing transparent communication around policies and early notice of any lease or
payment issues. When concerns arise, management will work with Resident Service Coordinators to
support tenants through interventions such as payment plans, connections to rental assistance or
public benefits, and other resources.
S uurtf- 1f1l n. RNW employs a layered approach to safety that integrates building design, site
planning, and operational practices to support resident wellbeing. Our projects incorporate Crime
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) methods to proactively enhance safety through
landscape lighting, access control, entrance/egress design, fencing, and materials. Examples
include key fob entry, limited building entrances, clear sightlines throughout common areas and
entryways, strategically placed security cameras, and durable door assemblies. Community spaces
are intentionally located adjacent to management offices to support natural surveillance. In
addition, RNW prioritizes strong onsite management, clear communication, and coordination with
service providers to maintain safe and stable communities.
Asset Management. As a long-term owner and operator, RNW seeks to preserve financial and physical
assets and believes that strong asset management is critical to providing the highest -caliber housing
experience for residents. RNW's leader Stef Kondor has a background in asset and property
management and brings that lens to RNW, instilling a proactive approach that maintains welcoming
and stable communities. Along with oversight by Related California's asset management team, RNW
reviews financial and operating reports monthly with Quantum. We seek information to understand
operating trends, visit our properties regularly, and support management to promptly resolve any
issues. RNW also practices conservative underwriting on the front end of development, which has been
instrumental in supporting the ongoing stability of our projects.

The meeting focused on aligning stakeholders around a shared approach to economic development in
Jefferson County. Facilitators emphasized inclusive participation and introduced a "frame and focus"
concept to guide thinking. Economic data showed modest income and wage growth alongside sharply
rising housing costs, declining workforce participation due to an aging population, and a widening
affordability gap --highlighting challenges like workforce shortages and housing constraints.
Participants also reviewed various definitions of economic development, revealing common themes
around quality of life, sustainability, and collaboration.
In interactive exercises, participants identified shared priorities and actions, with recurring themes
including housing, infrastructure, land use, workforce development, and business support. Suggested
next steps included creating a shared vision, identifying barriers to development, assessing infrastructure
and workforce needs, and improving coordination across agencies. The outputs will be compiled,
themed, and used to develop a structured set of priorities and early actions for ongoing collaboration.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Washington State Parks established a scenic bikeway pilot
program and has approached the City about establishing a
designated bikeway through the City as part of the Olympic
Discovery Trail (ODT). The designation would be from the
Ferry Terminal to the Larry Scott Trail as illustrated below.
Both the City and the Port agree that there is a section
through the boatyard that will be modified over time as part of
formalizing the ODT extension beyond the Larry Scott
Trailhead. More information about the program is available al
htt se// arksewae ov/about/a enc /washiin ton-state-sceniic-
...............
In order to proceed, State Parks needs an agency acknowledgement form which will
lead to a memorandum of understanding from the City acknowledging the pilot program
and authorizing signage and marketing. At this point, there are no other obligations of
the City.
Staff recommends the City Council supports and authorize the City Manager to sign
forms for this designation to further enhance plans for the ODT as outlined in the
recently adopted Comprehensive Plan and Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This year the City experienced a blockage of one of the main sewer lines leading from
the Castle Hill area to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The blockage was caused by
a combination of cleaning wipes and latex gloves. This trunk line has high flows and
thus when there is a blockage, significant overflow occurs which requires emergency
response and mitigation. Below are some pictures from the overflow earlier this year.
Given, City equipment limitations and impacts to staffing, staff is recommending hiring a
contractor to video inspect approximately 3 miles the sewer trunkline. City equipment is
not adequate to properly inspect given high flow rates in these pipes. There are no
recent records of inspections. While another clog has minimal chance of occurring, it is
important from a risk management perspective to periodically inspect these larger pipes.
The City budget does not include this work specifically, however, other maintenance
costs may come in under budget. As a matter of precaution, staff will submit a budget
amendment during supplemental #2 to cover these costs. Only one responsive quote
was received for just under $80,000.
ATTACHMENTS: N/A
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action is needed; this effectively
represents unanimous approval for the City Manager to execute contracts necessary to
accomplish sewer video inspection of approximately 3 miles of sewer trunkline.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On February 12, 2026, Bayside Housing & Services submitted an application requesting a partial
vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition plat and vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan
Street right-of-way located between 9th Street and 10th Street. The application was processed
as Type III Land Use Permit No. LUP26-013.
The street vacation is associated with the Vince's Village project, a proposed 32-unit permanent
supportive housing development located at 1777 10th Street within Blocks 198 and 199 of the
Eisenbeis Addition. The proposal includes full -width vacation of portions of the right-of-way
adjacent to applicant -owned property and a partial -width vacation where adjacent properties are
under separate ownership.
The Hearing Examiner conducted an open -record public hearing on June 3, 2026, and
subsequently approved the partial plat vacation and recommended approval of the McClellan
Street right-of-way vacation subject to conditions. The Examiner found that the subject right-of-
way has never been opened or improved, is not identified within the City's transportation planning
documents as necessary for future public use, and that the proposed vacation serves the public
use and interest.
The Hearing Examiner further found that:
• The right-of-way is not required for present or future transportation purposes.
• The vacation will not create landlocked parcels or adversely affect access.
• Utility service can be preserved through retention of public utility easements.
• The proposed vacation is consistent with the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and
applicable provisions of the Port Townsend Municipal Code.
Under Chapter 35.79 RCW and PTMC Chapter 12.20, the Hearing Examiner's recommendation
does not vacate the right-of-way. Final approval requires legislative action by the City Council
through adoption of a street vacation ordinance or equivalent Council action. The accompanying
resolution adopts the Hearing Examiner's findings and authorizes the vacation subject to
reservation of public utility easements and compliance with applicable recording requirements.
The Council is also asked to determine that the public benefit associated with the development of
permanent supportive housing constitutes adequate value received in exchange for the right-of-
way vacation consistent with PTMC 12.20.090 and RCW 35.79.030.
The Draft Resolution proposes the followina Citv Council Findinas:
A. The subject portion of McClellan Street is not required for present or future public transportation
purposes;
B. The requested vacation will not create landlocked parcels or impair vehicular, pedestrian,
bicycle, utility, or emergency access;
C. The vacation is consistent with Chapter 35.79 RCW, PTMC Chapter 12.20, the Port Townsend
Comprehensive Plan, and the public use and interest; and,
D. The public benefit associated with the development of permanent supportive housing
constitutes adequate value received in exchange for the right-of-way vacation consistent with
PTMC 12.20.090 and RCW 35.79.030.
The Draft Resolution proposes the following conditions of approval:
A. Prior to recording the vacation, the applicant shall submit final survey documents, legal
descriptions, and recordable exhibits prepared by a Washington -licensed land surveyor and
approved by the City;
B. The City shall reserve and record perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right-
of-way as necessary to preserve existing and future public utility services;
C. The City reserves a perpetual public utility easement encompassing the entire vacated right-
of-way, unless a more limited easement area is approved by the City Engineer and depicted on
the final recordable documents. The easement shall allow the City and authorized utility providers
to install, construct, operate, maintain, inspect, repair, replace, renew, and upgrade existing and
future utility facilities, together with rights of reasonable access thereto;
D. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with preparation, review, and
recording of vacation documents;
E. The approved street vacation shall be recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor before title
to the vacated right-of-way vests in the abutting property owners; and,
F. Bayside Housing & Services shall provide the City with a deed restriction or similar real estate
instrument granting the City compensation equal to or greater than the value of the vacated right-
of-way — the value of the vacated right-of-way may include intangible values or benefits, such as
affordable housing.
If the resolution is approved, staff will work with the applicant to complete all Hearing Examiner
conditions of approval, City Council conditions of approval, including required survey documents,
legal descriptions, easement reservations, compensation determinations, and recording
prerequisites. Upon completion of these requirements, staff will return to the City Council with a
street vacation ordinance for consideration. The right-of-way will not be vacated or conveyed until
the ordinance has been adopted and recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor.

2. Hearing. A virtual hearing was held on the applications at 9:00 am on
June 3rd 2026.
Substantive:
3. Project Description. Bayside Housing & Services submitted an
application for a partial plat vacation of property located at 1777 10th Street together
with the vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan Street right-of-way
located between 9th Street and 10th Street to consolidate several platted lots to
facilitate development of a three-story, 32-unit multifamily residential development
for permanent supportive housing.
The proposal includes full -width vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-way along
segments that abut property under the applicant's ownership within Blocks 198 and
199. The application further proposes a partial (half -width) vacation along the
western portion of the right-of-way where adjacent parcels are not under applicant
ownership. The distinction between full -width and partial -width street vacation is
intended to ensure that adjacent properties not controlled by the applicant retain the
ability to utilize the remaining portion of the right-of-way if needed for future access,
utilities, or connectivity.
The subject property consists of multiple narrow lots created by historic platting
within the Eisenbeis Addition (Exhibit 10), a subdivision platted in the late nineteenth
century (1888). Several interior lot lines and dedicated rights -of -way, including
McClellan Street, were platted but never fully developed. The segment of McClellan
Street proposed for vacation is unimproved and not part of the City's Sustainable
Streets Plan or Active Transportation Plan.
4. Surrounding Uses: Surrounding development reflects a mix of single-
family residential, multifamily residential, and institutional uses typical of the Castle
Hill area. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access to the site is provided
via improved public streets at 9th Street and 10th Street.
5. Adverse Impacts. No significant adverse impacts are associated with the
proposal. The subject property has no mapped Critical Areas as regulated by the Port
Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) and none have been observed. The proposal
retains portions of the McClellan Street right of way as necessary to ensure that no
lots will become landlocked. The partial plat vacation does not impair access,
eliminate utilities, or remove public facilities. City staff have determined that
retention of the proposed vacated right of way would not advance transportation
objectives or system functionality. Reservation of perpetual public utility easements
within the vacated right-of-way is feasible and sufficient to preserve current and
future public service needs. City staff have determined that the proposed areas for
right of way vacation not are not required for present or future public use
Written comments were received expressing concern about the future multi -family
development of the project site. Concerns included traffic and parking, neighborhood

character and future use of McClellan Street. Most of these comments are not
pertinent to this review because the planned multi -family development is subject to
separate permits. This permit review is limited to the impacts of removing lot lines
and right of way. Approval of this permit does not commit the Applicant to build any
specific type of development. The only public comments pertinent to this review are
the future use of McCelland. City staff have found that the right of way to be
eliminated will not result in any landlocked parcels or undermine the City's
transportation planning efforts. Consequently, the future
IV. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1. Authority of Hearing Examiner. PTMC 20.01.040, Table 1, designates plat
vacations as subject to a Type III process. PTMC 20.01.040, Table 2, provides that
the hearing examiner shall hold hearings and issue final decisions on Type III
applications.
2. The PTMC doesn't provide any directly referenced criteria for approval of plat
vacations. Rather, PTMC 18.04.0401) requires that plat vacations shall comply with
the criteria imposed by RCW 58.17.212. As pertinent, RCW 58.17.212 is quoted
below and applied via corresponding conclusions of law.
RCW 58.17.212: The legislative authority of the city ... may approve or deny the application
for vacation of the subdivision after determining the public use and interest to be served by the
vacation of the subdivision.
3. Criteria Met. The criteria is met. The public use and interest is served by the
vacation since it will not create any adverse impacts as determined in Finding of Fact
No. 5 while at the same time facilitating the development of the property.
One comment letter asserted that the proposed right of way doesn't conform to right
of way vacation statutes, specifically those in Chapter 35.79 RCW. Those statutes do
not apply to plat vacations that combine lot vacations along with right of way
vacations. RCW 58.17.212 provides that "[w]hen the application is for the vacation
of the plat together with the roads and/or streets, the procedure for vacation in this
section shall be used..." At hearing, staff assured that right of way vacations do not
include any right of way abutting property owners who have not participated in this
vacation application.
V. DECISION
As conditioned below, the proposed partial vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition
subdivision plat affecting Blocks 198 and 199, together with the vacation of an
undeveloped portion of the McClellan Street right-of-way located between 9th Street
and 10th Street conforms to all required criteria for approval for the reasons detailed

in the Conclusions of Law above. The conditions necessary to assure compliance and
required by this Decision are as follows:
1. No Authorization of Development. Approval of the partial plat vacation and the
recommendation for vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-way are limited
solely to the legal actions requested and do not authorize construction, grading,
land disturbance, installation of utilities, or any physical development of the
subject property. This approval does not approve site design, building placement,
height, massing, density, parking configuration, traffic impacts, utility capacity,
stormwater management, environmental impacts, or neighborhood compatibility.
Authority: Chapter 19.27 RCW; PTMC 20.01.130.
2. No Approval by Implication. Nothing in this approval shall be construed as a
commitment by the City to approve any future development proposal on the
subject property, nor as a prejudgment of issues reserved for subsequent permit
review. Authority: PTMC 20.01.130.
3. Recordation of Partial Plat Vacation. The partial plat vacation shall be recorded
with the Jefferson County Auditor prior to issuance of any permit or approval that
relies upon the revised plat configuration, including but not limited to civil,
building, or land use permits. Authority: RCW 58.17.212; PTMC 20.01.140.
4. Prior to recording anything, the Applicant shall submit a survey exhibit prepared,
stamped, and signed by a Washington State licensed land surveyor that clearly
depicts the portion of the recorded plat proposed for vacation. The survey shall:
a. Delineate the area proposed for vacation relative to the original recorded plat,
referencing the plat name, recording number, and lot/block layout.
b. Show all adjacent lots and tracts, including current ownership as reflected in
the most recent title report.
c. Identify and depict all existing easements, rights -of -way, streets, utilities, and
other encumbrances within or adjacent to the area proposed for vacation.
d. Provide dimensions and boundaries for the right-of-way or street width
proposed for vacation.
e. Be consistent with the legal description contained in the vacation approval and
suitable for recording with the Jefferson County Auditor.
f. The Applicant shall provide a mylar or other city -accepted reproduction of the
Plat Vacation to PCD for review and approval (5 paper copies and one
electronic .pdf version) as part of the final Plat/Plat Alteration approval
process. Said mylar shall contain the acknowledged signatures of all parties
having an ownership interest in the subject property as evidenced by an
A.L.T.A. plat certificate prepared by a local title company. Said plat
certificate, or any update provided, shall be less than 30 days old. The
approved Plat Vacation shall not become effective until the mylars required
for recording have been filed with the Jefferson County Auditor. While the
City will assist in recording the Plat Vacation mylar, the Applicant is

responsible for all fees associated with recording. All property taxes due and
owing on the subject property must be paid in full prior to obtaining the
signature of the Jefferson County Treasurer.
g. Final plat vacation documents and legal descriptions shall be prepared by a
Washington -licensed land surveyor at the time of final recording. The City
shall coordinate document routing for required agency signatures, including
Assessor and Treasurer review.
h. The survey exhibit shall be subject to review and approval by the City of Port
Townsend Planning and Community Development Director and Public Works
Director (or their designees) for consistency with the approved vacation and
applicable municipal code provisions.
i. Following approval, the City shall coordinate preparation and routing of final
documents for recording with the Jefferson County Auditor. The applicant
shall be responsible for associated fees, but document routing will occur
through City processes to ensure all required signatures, including those of the
Assessor and Treasurer, are obtained.
5. City Council Legislative Action Required. The vacation of the undeveloped
portion of McClellan Street right-of-way shall not take effect unless and until the
Port Townsend City Council adopts a street vacation ordinance in accordance
with Chapter 35. 79 RCW. Authority: RCW 35.79.010; PTMC 12.20.080.
6. Determination of Compensation. Any compensation for the vacated right-of-way
shall be determined by the City Council in accordance with RCW 35.79.030,
unless expressly waived by City Council action. City Council may waive the
requirement to obtain an appraisal provided that qualified city personnel provide a
written determination that the value of property received will be equal to or
greater than the value of the right-of-way vacated. City codes specify that "value
received" may include intangible values or benefits through implementation of
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. The provision of permanent supportive
housing at the site constitutes adequate value received in exchange for the vacated
right-of-way consistent with the 2025 Comprehensive Plan's affordable housing
goals. Authority: RCW 35.79.030, Chapter. 12.20.090 PTMC.
7. Reservation of Public Utility Easements. The City shall reserve and record
perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right-of-way as necessary to
preserve present or future water, sewer, stormwater, power, communications, or
other public services. Authority: RCW 35.79.030; PTMC 12.20.060(D) and (E).
8. Pedestrian or Trail Easements. If the City determines that future non -motorized
connectivity is necessary to serve the public interest, a pedestrian or trail
easement shall be reserved within the vacated right-of-way, consistent with
PTMC 12.20.060(F) and the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element.
Authority: PTMC 12.20.060(F); Comprehensive Plan.

Description of On February 12, 2026, Bayside Housing & Services submitted an application
Request: for a Type III Land Use Permit (File No. LUP26-013) requesting a partial
vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition subdivision plat affecting Blocks 198 and
199, together with the vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan
Street right-of-way located between 9th Street and 10th Street.
The proposal includes full -width vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-
way along segments that abut property under the applicant's ownership
within Blocks 198 and 199. The application further proposes a partial (half -
width) vacation along the western portion of the right-of-way where adjacent
parcels are not under applicant ownership. This approach maintains
flexibility for access, utilities, and potential future circulation for those
adjacent properties.
The subject right-of-way has never been opened or improved and does not
function as a transportation facility. While the corridor may accommodate
utility infrastructure, any necessary public utility interests can be preserved
through reservation of easements at the time of vacation.
The proposed action is categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC
197-11-800(1)(d), and no critical areas are mapped or observed on the
subject property.

A. General Findings of Fact:
1. Zoning. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) — High Density Multifamily Residential under
Title 17 PTMC. This zoning district is intended to accommodate consolidated parcels and
higher -density residential development in urban areas served by public infrastructure.
2. Request. The Applicant, Bayside Housing & Services, requests approval of:
a. A partial vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition subdivision plat pursuant to RCW 58.17.212;
and, specifically Lots 1 through 8 in Block 199.
b. Avacation of an unopened segment of McClellan Street right-of-way pursuant to Chapter
35.79 RCW and Chapter 12.20 PTMC. The proposal includes full -width vacation of the
McClellan Street right-of-way along segments that abut property under the applicant's
ownership within Blocks 198 and 199. The application further proposes a partial (half -
width) vacation along the western portion of the right-of-way where adjacent parcels are
not under applicant ownership. The distinction between full -width and partial -width
street vacation is intended to ensure that adjacent properties not controlled by the
applicant retain the abilityto utilize the remaining portion of the right-of-way if needed for
future access, utilities, or connectivity.
c. The request removes obsolete platting and right-of-way dedications that do not serve a
current or future public purpose and that constrain land use patterns otherwise allowed
under the City's adopted zoning and Comprehensive Plan. The applicant requests the
vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-way and the consolidation of historically platted
lots to facilitate a three-story, 32-unit multifamily residential development for permanent
supportive housing. Design review (LUP26-014), vacating public right-of-way, engineering
review, and building permits are processed separately and are not before the Hearing
Examiner under this application.
d. The City reserves the right to require the applicant to retain the proposed vacant right-of-
way for public infrastructure and requests permanent utility and access easements
across the area proposed to be vacated.
3. Permit Type & Hearing Body. The City processed the application as a Type III action with public
notice (Exhibit 5) and a hearing before the Hearing Examiner (Chapter 20.01 PTMC).
Additionally, Ch 18.04.040 PTMC requires that the process for subdivision vacation be
identical to the process for initial subdivision (Type III). The Examiner has authority to conduct
the public hearing and issue this decision (Exhibit 12); any street vacation must be finalized
by City Council ordinance (RCW 58.17.217; RCW 35.79, Chapter 12.20 PTMC).
4. Site & Legal Setting. The subject property is located at 1777 10th Street, within the Eisenbeis
Addition (Blocks 198 and 199). The applicant also controls Parcel No. 948319802 east of
McClellan, supporting interior -block consolidation (Plan Sheets A001, G001).
5. Historic Plat Pattern. The Eisenbeis Addition plat established interior north —south streets,
including McClellan Street, that were intended at the time of platting to function as through
Page 3 of 13
141yof
Townsen
Planning & Community
Development Department
250 Madison St., Suite 3
Port Townsend, WA 98368
360-379-5095
streets connecting 9th and 10th Streets. However, subsequent development patterns in the
surrounding neighborhood did not rely on these interior connections, and circulation was
instead established along the perimeter street network. As a result, the interior segments of
McClellan Street were never constructed and now exist as isolated, undeveloped segments
that function more as residual stubs rather than necessary through streets.
6. The City's 2025 Comprehensive Plan, including the Transportation Element and Sustainable
Streets Plan, does not identify this segment of McClellan Street as part of the planned
transportation network or as necessary to achieve system connectivity.
7. Undeveloped ROW Segments. The McClellan (9th-10th) ROW segment is unbuilt with public
infrastructure; they do not currently provide public motorized access and are not relied upon
for emergency response routing. Parcels adjacent to the eastern portion of McClellan Street
are under separate ownership and obtain access from 10th Street. The proposal retains the
eastern half of the right-of-way in this location to ensure that no existing or potential future
access opportunities are eliminated.
8. Abutting Ownership &Title. A review of available title information indicates that no restrictive
covenants affecting the proposed vacation area have been identified. Accordingly, no
covenant modification or termination is required as part of this action. Because this plat is
from theyear 1888, therewere no restrictive covenants filed atthe time of plattingthat impact
any other property owners within Eisenbeis Addition.
9. Waterfront Status. The to -be -vacated segments do not abut a body of water; if subsequent
legal description review determines that any portion abuts water, that portion will be
excluded or processed under RCW 35.79.035 (RCW 35.79.035).
10. The subject property consists of multiple narrow lots created by historic platting within the
Eisenbeis Addition (Exhibit 10), a subdivision platted in the late nineteenth century (1888).
Several interior lot lines and dedicated rights -of -way, including McClellan Street, were
platted but never fully developed.
11. Surrounding development reflects a mix of single-family residential, multifamily residential,
and institutional uses typical of the Castle Hill area. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and
emergency access to the site is provided via improved public streets at 9th Street and 10th
Street.
12. The segment of McClellan Street proposed for vacation is unimproved and not part of the
City's Sustainable Streets Plan or Active Transportation Plan.
13. Partial Plat Vacation — RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18 PTMC. RCW 58.17.212 authorizes
vacation of a recorded plat upon a finding that the vacation serves the public use and
interest. The Eisenbeis Addition reflects nineteenth-century subdivision practices that
Page 4 of 13

Townsen
Planning & Community
Development Department
250 Madison St., Suite 3
Port Townsend, WA 98368
360-379-5095
predate modern zoning, infrastructure, and planning standards. Interior lot lines within
Blocks 198 and 199 are obsolete and constrain coordinated development otherwise
anticipated by the R-IV zoning designation.
14. The partial plat vacation does not impair access, eliminate utilities, or remove public
facilities. All parcels retain access via 9th Street or 10th Street. The vacation aligns parcel
configuration with adopted zoning and land use policy and satisfies RCW 58.17.212, subject
to conditions.
15. Street Vacation — Chapter 35.79 RCW. Chapter 35.79 RCW authorizes municipalities to
vacate streets no longer required for public use. The subject portion of McClellan Street has
never been opened or improved and does not function as a transportation corridor or access
route but is used as a utility corridor. It is not identified as necessary in adopted
transportation or capital facilities plans. Public interests can be preserved through
easements, consistent with RCW 35.79.030.
16. Title 12 PTMC — Streets, Sidewalks, and Transportation. The proposal satisfies all criteria of
PTMC 12.20.060(A)—(J). The undeveloped right-of-way does not serve a demonstrated public
need, access and emergency response remain adequate, utilities can be preserved by
easement, and the vacation is consistent with adopted plans. The other right of way value
sets of open space and trees are not impacted as the area is currently not accessible to the
public and no significant trees exist as defined in Title 12 PTMC. The are will also be
maintained as a sewer easement with access for maintenance of the existing sewer main.
17. Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC — Zoning and Land Division. The R-IV zoning district
anticipates consolidated parcels and higher -density residential development. The proposed
vacations do not alter zoning, permitted uses, or development standards and are consistent
with Titles 17 and 18 PTMC.
18. Title 13 PTMC and Engineering Design Standards. The vacation request does not authorize
infrastructure installation or modification of public infrastructure. Compliance with Title 13
PTMC and the Engineering Design Standards will be required at subsequent permit stages.
19. Comprehensive Plan Consistency. The 2025 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan, including
the Transportation Element and Sustainable Streets Plan, emphasizes efficient use of land
and infrastructure while directing investment toward functional transportation corridors that
support connectivity and mobility.
a. The subject segment of McClellan Street is not identified as part of the planned
transportation network and is not required to implement the Sustainable Streets Plan.
Its retention as dedicated right-of-way would not advance transportation objectives or
system functionality.

250 Madison St., Suite 3
Port Townsend, WA 98368
360-379-5095
b. The proposed vacation is therefore consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies that
support infill development, efficient use of land, and the removal or repurposing of
excess right-of-way where no public need exists.
20. Right -of -Way Status — McClellan Street (Chapter 35.79 RCW, Title 12 PTMC. The portion of
McClellan Street right-of-way proposed for vacation lies between 9th Street and 10th Street
within the Eisenbeis Addition.
a. This portion of McClellan Street has never been graded, paved, or otherwise improved by
the City.
b. The undeveloped right-of-way has never functioned as:
i. a vehicular travel lane,
ii. a pedestrian sidewalk,
iii. a bicycle facility, or
iv. public accessible open space
V. stormwater facility
vi. a location with significant trees
vii. an emergency access route.
c. The subject right-of-way is not identified as part of the City's existing or planned
transportation network in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element or Capital
Facilities Plan.
21. Zoning and Access Conditions (Title 17PTMC, Title 12 PTMC).
a. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) — High Density Multifamily Residential under Title
17 PTMC.
b. The R-IV zoning district anticipates consolidated parcels, coordinated site design, and
higher -density residential development in urban areas served by infrastructure.
c. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergencyaccess to the subject property is currently
provided via improved public rights -of -way at 9th Street and 10th Street.
d. The proposed partial plat vacation and street vacation do not eliminate, reduce, or
adversely affect lawful access to the subject property.
e. Adequate access for emergency services will remain available following the requested
vacations.
21. Utilities and Public Services (Title 13 PTMC; Engineering Design Standards; RCW35.79.030).
a. Public water, sewer, stormwater, and other utilities are available to the subject property
within the surrounding street network.
b. Existing public utilities are located within the undeveloped portion of McClellan Street
proposed for vacation.
c. Reservation of perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right-of-way is
feasible and sufficient to preserve current and future public service needs.
d. The requested vacations do not approve or authorize installation, relocation, or
modification of utilities.

250 Madison St., Suite 3
Port Townsend, WA 98368
360-379-5095
e. Compliance with Title 13 PTMC and the City of Port Townsend Engineering Design
Standards will be required at the time of future civil or building permits.
22. Public Comment (Title 20 PTMC).
a. During the public comment period, written comments (Exhibits 6.1 to 6.6) were
submitted by members of the public raising concerns related to:
i. traffic and parking conditions;
ii. neighborhood character and compatibility;
iii. building height and massing;
iv. future use of McClellan Street; and
v. conceptual development plans.
b. These comments received during the open public comment period relate to potential
future development scenarios rather than to the legal criteria governing plat and street
vacations.
c. No public comment provided evidence demonstrating that the requested plat vacation
would create landlocked lots, eliminate existing public access, impair utilities, or remove
an actively used transportation facility.
d. All public comments were reviewed and considered as part of the administrative record.
e. The applicant responded to the public comments received during the comment period
(Exhibits 8.1 — 8.3).
23. Public Use and Interest (RCW 58.17.212, Chapter 35.79 RCW; Title 12 PTMC, and PTMC
20.01.235(D).
a. The proposed partial platvacation and streetvacation must be evaluated underthe
"public use and interest" standard set forth in RCW 58.17.212 and Chapter 35.79 RCW.
b. The record demonstrates that the interior lot lines and the subject portion of McClellan
Street do not provide transportation, access, or utility functions and are not required for
present or future public use. Retention of these features would not provide a public
benefit and instead imposes constraints on efficient use of land.
c. The proposal facilitates consolidation of parcels consistent with the R-IV zoning district
and supports infill housing development within an area already served by
infrastructure, consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies.
d. Public interests are preserved through continued access via 9th and 10th Streets and
through the ability to reserve utility or access easements if necessary.
e. Given, the existence of a sewer main, the area will remain open space.
f. These findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record and are made in
accordance with PTMC 20.01.235(D).
g. Pursuant to PTMC 20.01.235(D), the request is supported by substantial evidence in the
record, applies all applicable approval criteria, and provides a reasoned explanation
linking the facts to the conclusion that the proposal serves the public use and interest.

1. The City of Port Townsend Hearing Examiner has authority to review and approve a partial
vacation of a recorded subdivision plat pursuant to RCW 58.17.212, RCW 58.17.217, and
Title 20 PTMC, and to conduct an open -record public hearing and issue findings and
recommendations to the City Council regarding a street vacation pursuant to Chapter 35.79
RCW.
2. The application was properly processed as a Type III permit under Title 20 PTMC, and all
procedural requirements related to completeness review, notice, public hearing, and record
development were satisfied.
B. Partial Plat Vacation — RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18 PTMC
3. RCW 58.17.212 authorizes the vacation of all or part of a recorded plat upon a determination
that the requested vacation serves the public use and interest, provided that statutory
requirements related to ownership consent and restrictive covenants are satisfied.
4. Based on the Findings of Fact and the analysis contained in Section VII of this staff report,
the partial platvacation of the Eisenbeis Addition removes obsolete interior lot lines created
under historic platting practices that no longer serve an independent public purpose.
5. The partial plat vacation does not impair lawful access, does not eliminate public utilities or
public services, and does not create substandard or landlocked parcels.
6. The partial plat vacation advances the purposes of Title 18 PTMC by promoting orderly land
division, aligning parcel configuration with existing zoning, and enabling efficient urban land
use consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan policies.
7. The partial plat vacation therefore satisfies the requirements of RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18
PTMC, subject to conditions ensuring ownership consent, covenant resolution, and
recordation.
C. Street Vacation — Chapter 35.79 RCW
8. Chapter 35.79 RCW authorizes municipalities to vacate streets and rights -of -way that are no
longer required for public use, subject to public hearing, compensation where applicable,
and reservation of public interests.
9. Based on the Findings of Fact, the portion of McClellan Street proposed for vacation is
unimproved, and has neverfunctioned as a transportation facility, access route, emergency
route, or utility corridor.
10. The vacated right-of-way is not identified as necessary for present or future public
transportation purposes in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element or Capital
Facilities Plan.

11. Public interests related to access, utilities, and future connectivity can be preserved through
reservation of easements pursuant to RCW 35.79.030.
12. The proposed street vacation satisfies the requirements of Chapter 35.79 RCW, subject to
City Council adoption of a street vacation ordinance and compliance with statutory
compensation and easement provisions.
D. Title 12 PTMC — Streets, Sidewalks, and Transportation
13. Chapter 12.20 PTMC establishes criteria governing street vacations and places the burden
of proof on the applicant to demonstrate that a vacation will not be detrimental to the public
interest.
14. Based on the Findings of Fact and the analysis in Section VII, all applicable criteria of PTMC
12.20.060(A) through (J) have been satisfied, including:
a. the absence of a demonstrated public transportation need for the unopened right-of-way;
b. preservation of adequate vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access;
c. preservation of public utility service potential; and
d. consistency with adopted transportation and land use plans.
15. The streetvacation is therefore consistentwith the intent and requirements of Title 12 PTMC,
subjectto conditions.
E. Zoning and Land Division —Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC
16. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) under Title 17 PTMC, a zoning district that anticipates
consolidated parcels and coordinated higher -density residential development.
17. The proposed plat and street vacations do not change zoning designations, permitted uses,
density allowances, or development standards.
18. The proposal is consistent with the intent and provisions of Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC
and does not create zoning nonconformities.
F. Utilities and Infrastructure —Title 13 PTMC and Engineering Design Standards
19. The requested vacations do not approve installation, modification, or relocation of utilities
or public infrastructure.
20. Compliance with Title 13 PTMC and the City of Port Townsend Engineering Design Standards
(EDS) will be required at the time of subsequent civil and building permit review.
21. The City retains full authority to impose utility, frontage improvement, stormwater, and
infrastructure requirements consistent with adopted standards.

22. The proposed partial platvacation and streetvacation are legal actions that do not authorize
physical development or land disturbance.
23. The proposal is categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(1)(d) and
Chapter 19.04 PTMC.
24. No critical areas regulated under Title 19 PTMC are affected by the requested actions.
25. Environmental review obligations are preserved for any future project actions.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Annually the City is required to adopt a Six Year Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP) and submit it to the State of Washington. The STIP is adopted by resolution
after consideration of public comment provided at a public hearing.
As part of any transportation public hearings, the City is required to collect demographic
data from participants strictly on a voluntary basis. Title VI requirements strive to
ensure that agencies are serving all populations within a City. Attendees are
encouraged to fill out forms sharing demographic data.
The purpose of the STIP is to ensure that Cities are planning for needed transportation
improvements with an outlook on the relatively near future. Typically, agency STIPs
included more need than funding which is reasonably available. The attached STIP for
2027-2032 illustrates a need of approximately $117.5 million dollars. This seems quite
unattainable, thus leading to the second purpose. Most grant programs for
transportation dollars require that projects be included in the STIP in order to be eligible.
The STIP shows that the agency is thinking ahead to needs that are generally based off
adopted plans, comprehensive plan policies, or simple deficiencies. A third purpose for
the STIP is to identify needs for transportation funding. City staff has assigned ballpark
estimates for the project and estimated the breakdown between federal, state, and local
funds. This STIP includes an estimate of need for local funding of $25.4 million based
locally funded street work and on a 20%-25% match for grants. This is a typical share
of grant funding as well as the cost to administer projects.
Staff would like to point out that the form of the STIP follows the state forms which
includes a priority number. The projects in the STIP have not been prioritized formally,
nor are intended to be prioritized. Projects that are funded are placed as top of list
because they typically have timelines for completion. Funded projects are denoted with
a "S" for "Secured" in the funding status column. The remaining projects that are not
funded, are pushed out to the 6t" year and are not prioritized. These projects are
denoted with a "P" to represent planned projects. Staff has ordered the projects based
on recent funding and discussions with the City Council; however, grant requirements
and criteria often drive what projects are selected to move forward as the City has a
history of strategically leveraging sparse local funding to state and federal grants.
Updates from previous year's STIP adoption in 2025 include the following:
1. Many projects completed or expected to be completed by the end of 2025 have
been removed. Additionally, project descriptions were updated with clarifying
language.
2. Project cost estimates were updated for all projects based rough approximations
from and generally using cost per mile estimating procedures. In other words,
except for the funded projects, the estimates are order of magnitude estimates.
When an application for a grant is developed, the estimates are refined based on
project scope.
3. Last year's STIP included 54 projects. This year's proposal includes 49 projects
after removals and additions of projects.
4. The Lawrence Street Multimodal project between Walker and Harrison is funded
given the TIB grant success and will be finished in 2027.
5. The 19t" Street HSIP pedestrian safety project was fully funded given success in
Highway Safety Program funding. This project was removed since it will be
finished this year.
6. The SR20 Bishop Canyon area Sidewalk project was funded given success in
Bike Ped grant program.
7. The Sims Way — Sandy Williams HOPE 20 project was added given successful
funding this last year.
8. The Safe Routes to Schools project was funded for a planning study for
neighborhood connections.
9. The RAISE grant for the ODT was corrected to match the City section from the
Transit terminal to Fort Worden. This project funding is now available and can
move forward. The other segments inside the city limits are managed by the
Port.
10. Active Transportation Plan update was added for every 5 years as a minor
update.
11.Changed the Lawrence Street project to create new limits between Kearney and
Walker to reflect work to be completed on the rest of Lawrence.
12. Downtown Parking Plan is pushed out until funded based on Council work
planning from last year.
13.Added Active Transportation Plan has been moved up as funded based on
Transportation Benefit District funding projections and an estimated $100,000 per
year for sidewalk, traffic calming, and bike facilities.
14.Other minor changes were made to funding and timing of funds. The timing is
largely a guess since we don't know when funding will happen, thus not a lot of
attention was put towards the timing of unfunded projects.
Staff presents the above information and associated resolution for this public hearing
and Council consideration. Staff recommends adoption of this STIP and submittal to the
State as required.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In March of 2026, the City of Port Townsend through its Port Townsend Creative District
program, opened a Call for Artists to create a mural at the Seamus Sims Skate Park. This is the
first public art commission by the City since Big Blue, a functional sculpture created by Matt
Babcock on Tyler Street in Uptown in 2014.
Guided by the council -approved Arts in Public Places Policies and Procedures, a selection
committee of local stakeholders followed a process to develop the Call for Artists and choose an
artist to receive the commission. They limited the geography of the call to Jefferson County and
included a community engagement component to the project. A total of seventeen local artists
submitted applications, from which the committee, using a standardized rubric, selected three
finalists. The finalists were asked to develop a public presentation that outlined their concept for
the mural as well as their community engagement plan. Approximately 50 community members
attended the presentations at the Cotton Building on June 23. Attendees were invited to fill out
comment cards after the presentations, which the selection committee weighed during the
selection of the commissioned artist.
On July 2, the Arts Commission received a recommendation by the artist selection committee,
which was to award Jesse Joshua Watson the contract for this project. As the final step in the
Arts in Public Places Policies and Procedures, the Arts Commission is recommending to
Council that the committee's choice be approved by a motion of the Council.
This project is being funded primarily through a Creative District Capital Grant, with matching
funds coming from in -kind services (primarily site work by the Parks Department), private
contributions, and the municipal arts fund. The total project is $49,550 ($30,000 project grant;
$6,900 municipal arts fund, $4,900 private donation, remainder in -kind services).

Skate Park Mural Concept (shortened version from finalist presentation)
Panoramic underwater scenes of well-known Port Townsend landmarks, with creatures cruising
around freely now that the former inhabitants have gone away. Orcas, grey whales, porpoises,
fish, octopuses, jellyfish, kelp forests, and the like. From a distance the walls would read as
gorgeous undersea scenes with bold, bright colors, a harmonious blue/green palette and our
PNW aesthetic. But as one gets closer, they might notice the courthouse and clocktower in the
distance as schools of salmon swim by and draw their own conclusions.
think this concept might resonate with both skate culture and youth culture more broadly.
Young people today have grown up confronting a stark future shaped by previous generations
who opted for short term gain. Skate culture, in particular, has never shied away from calling out
the obvious. It's always engaged directly with the system, meeting collapse head on, and
turning it into something expressive and defiant. Like 50-50 grinding on the bones of the
gatekeepers.

"I'm so stoked that I've been chosen for this amazing project. It's a great opportunity to
work with the community to create something very special for our town. I am looking
forward to input from the skaters and seeing how the concept evolves into the perfect
solution for this unique canvas." — Jesse Joshua Watson

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
City staff seek approval to apply for a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town Grant to
support a pilot artist -in -residency program for the management and creation of street painting
and mural projects. This grant would fund an artist to lead these projects in coordination with
community groups and informed by City plans. This accomplishes multiple goals: bringing more
community -created artwork into our streetscape; bringing City plans and priorities to life in a
concrete way through active engagement; providing an artist with a compensated creative and
professional development opportunity; and highlighting the City's continued investments in and
support of the arts.
National Endowment for the Arts Grants for Arts Projects — Our Town
Our Town is a National Endowment for the Arts grant program designed to foster community -
centered events and placemaking projects.
Grant Details
• Part 1 (Interest Form) due July 9
• Full application due July 21
• $10,000-100,000 request
• 1-to-1 match including in -kind and matching funds
• Project Start Date: June 2027
The Our Town program has a specific focus on cross -sector, community -centered projects that
Leverage art and placemaking to drive the creative economy and involve artists in planning,
cultural asset building, public art, and project leadership. This is an opportunity to more deeply
embed artists in the next steps for developingtwo-dimensional public artworks in the community
and an exciting way to add capacity and expertise into the process as the City takes a more
central role in this important part of Port Townsend's identity and culture. If awarded the grant,
any street painting or mural would require City Council approval under Chapter 12.11 (Street Use
Permits —Street Painting All Districts) prior to installation within City right-of-way.
Our Proposal: City Mural & Street Painting Program Artist -in -Residence
Summary: Port Townsend has seen significant momentum around murals and street painting in
the last year. From the community -led Outsiders Street Art Project on the Memorial Field fence to
the Creative District Seamus Sims Skate Park Mural and the Jefferson County Farmers
Market/Pride Street Painting, artists and community groups from across the city are excited to
bring more art into our built environment.
Modeled on successful municipal/artist partnerships from other communities, we propose to
help bolster these efforts by establishing a city artist -in -residence to help guide this work into the
future. This program would embed an artist inside the Community Services Department and
establish a fund for the creation of murals and street painting projects that align with city
initiatives in the Comp Plan, Active Transportation Plan, PROS plan, Arts & Culture Plan, and
other priorities. The artist -in -residence would use their expertise to co -design these projects with
community members, while working closely with City Departments to develop a high-level view
of civic processes and connect the work back to the City's overall infrastructure and priorities.
This project would leverage the Port Townsend Creative District's transition into City
management in a way that creates strong multi -sector collaboration and brings creatives into the
systems that shape our community. The results are both tangible, community -informed art in our
neighborhoods (which has positive evidence -based outcomes for safety, connectedness, and
civic engagement) and the creation of new cross -sector pathways for communication, project
development, and professional opportunities for creatives.

This is a highly competitive grant. If the City were awarded partial funding, the project could be
significantly scaled down to include a single project or shorter -term residency. If not funded, this
grant can be resubmitted to other sources or funded through different models, such as cost -
sharing with other entities involved in creating the work.

Presentation Objective
Provide Council an update on the status of rideshare in Port
Townsend.
What Is Rideshare?
that provides on -demand transportation by connecting
passengers with drivers through mobile apps like Uber and
Lyft.
Rideshare apps allow passengers to request and schedule
rides, track driver location and timing, and allow payment of
fa res.
Fares are often calculated using a dynamic pricing model and
reflect differences in time of day or supply and demand; fares
are typically quoted to the passenger at the time of booking.
Drivers receive a compensation from each trip.
WITISFITIAMe
Enhances mobility options, including bridging last -mile gap and later -hour
transit frequency/service our gaps.
Provides income opportunities for community members.

Did you know that rideshare companies (i.e., Uber and Lyft) are
allowed — and have been allowed — to operate in Port Townsend?

In 2020, a previous City Council Committee (Transportation
Committee) was considering changes to PTIVIC 5.40 to make it
easier for rideshare to operate in Port Townsend by adding a
new code related to Transportation Network Companies
(TNCs).
Simultaneously, the City was pursuing an agreement with 2
