PUBLIC HEARINGS Rezoné Application No 8912-02 -Philip Hassrick. et. ale Mr O'Neill reviewed the findings and conclusions of the Planninçr Commission and their recommendation that this application be denied. After a brief discussion of the request by Mr Hassrick to delay the heari~g until July, it was the consensus of the Council to hold the hearing as advertised. Mayor shirley opened the hearing to the public. Carl Dierich was recognized and spoke against the application because the applicant violated the existing zoning there and the renters are not demonstrating good neighbor characteristics. Kay Dierich was recognized and spoke against the rezone citing traffic problems with other rentals in t:he area and the quality of life and property values in the neighborhood being ruined. There being no further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the public and turned the application to the Council for disposition. After discussion, Councilmember Camfield made a motion to adopt the following findings and conclusions and deny Rezone Application No 8912-02 which was seconded by Councilmember Jones and passed unanimously by voice vote. Findin,gs: 1. The applicants propose a rezone of Lots 1-8, Block 283, Eiisenbeis Addition, from R-IA to R-III. The subje!ct property is bounded by 4th Street to the north, Logan street to the e~st, Thomas Street to the west, and vacated 3rd S1:reet to the south. The property is approximately 200 feet south of Sims WfiY. There are currently several buildings located on the property: a single-family residence and outbuilding on Lots 1 and 2; a single-family residence on Lots 3 and 4; and single-family residence on Lots 5 and 6; a single-family residence on Lot 7; and a legal, nonconforming commercial structure on Lot 8. One of the applicants, Philiþ Hassrick, proposes to convert the existing single-family residence on Lots 1 and 2 into a duplex and convert the outbuilding into a residence should the rezone be approved, for a total of t1;lree dwelling units. No plans have been proposed for the other lots on Block 283 should the rezone be approved. 2. O~e of the applicants, Philip Hassrick, made application for a rezone of Lots 1 and 2, Block 283, to R-III in September, 1$89 (Rezone Application 8909-01). The application was denied by the City Council on December 5, 1989. Mr. Hassrick has now made application to rezone all of Block 283 to H-III. The property owners of Lots 5 and 6, Lot 7, and Lot 8, have also signed the application; the owner of Lots 3 and 4 has not signed the application. The property to the north of the subject property is zoned C- II, while the property to the west and southwest is zoned R- IA. A five-block area to the east and southeast of the subject property is zoned R-III. This property, which consists of Blocks 281, 282, 286, 287, and 288, Eisenbeis Addition, was rezoned from R-I to R-III in 1976. Over fifty percent of this property is currently vacant and undeveloped; however, a large quantity of this land, particularly on Blocks 281 and 288, is difficult to develop due to steep slopes. The rezone application, if granted, would have the effect of expanding this R-III zone. 3. The subject property is surrounded by a variety of land uses. The property is surrounded by single-family residential dêvelopment to the east, south, and southwest. A single- family residence and a duplex are located across Fourth Street from the site; the development further to the north and the northwest is commercial development abutting sinls Way. A church is located across Thomas Street to the west. A multi- 416 '7. 9. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3, 1990, Cont. family housing development is located approximately hundred feet to the southeast of the site. one 5. Section 17.16.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code outlines the purposes of each zoning district in the City of Port Townsend. The purpose of the R-IA zoning district, which is the present zoning designation of the subject property, is defined as "Exclusively a single-family residence district with adequate plot areas required and including the customary accessory and secondary uses, with agricultural use also allowed." The purpose of the R-III zoning district, which is the proposed zoning designation of the site, is defined as "Primarily a multiple family residence district with adequate plot areas required and including some single-family residences and the customary accessory and secondary uses." I 6. There are currently 17.3 acres of land in Port Townsend which are zoned R-III. A land use survey undertaken of these areas indicates that 4.5 acres of the R-III land is developed as multi-family housing. Another 5.9 acres are currently undeveloped; however, approximately 2 acres of the undeveloped land would be difficult to develop due to severe slopes. The remaining portion of the R-III land is developed as single family residential. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan presents several performance and locational standards for the siting of multi- family housing. The Plan states that multi-family housing should be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood; that it should be located to minimize traffic generation; that it should provide screened off-street parking; that it should be restricted from being utilized as a buffer between other land uses; that is should be located in such a manner to preserve views; that it should be restricted from designated sensitive areas; that it should be located in areas with sui table drainage, slopes, soils and utilities; and that is should be located so as to have a minimum negative impact on adjacent and surrounding areas. I 8. section 17.16.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code lists the uses which are permitted in the various zoning districts. The uses which are allowed in the R-III zoning district, as either permitted or conditional uses, which are not allowed in the R-IA zoning district are listed as follows: Permitted Conditional Apothecary shop operated within a hospital, clinic or physicians' office Apartment house catering establishments conducted as an incidental home occupation Clinics Convalescent/nursing homes as a home occupation Dwelling, two family Incidental keeping of non-transient boarders by a resident family Signs halls, coliseums, Assembly stadiums colleges, business colleges, trade schools Convalescent and nursing homes for children or the aged Dwelling, multi-family Hotels not catering to transient guests Libraries, museums, art galleries Lodges, social organizations undertaking establishments, mortuaries, funeral homes I The subject property is served by three streets: Logan, Thomas, and Fourth. The right-of-way width of each of these streets is 66 feet; the paved width of these streets abutting the subject property is approximately 20 feet. Logan and 10. I 11. 12. 13. 14. I 417 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3, 1990, Cont. Thomas Streets intersect with Sims Way approximatE~ly 200 feet north of the subject property. The site is served by City sewer and water facilities. A 4- inch water main is located in the portion of Fourth street abutting the site, while a 6-inch main is located in Logan street adjacent to the site. A fire hydrant is located on the southwest corner of Fourth and Thomas streets. An 8-inch sewer main is located in the portion of Logan StrE!et abutting the property. The applicant states that there is a chronic need for rental housing units in Port Townsend, and that the residence on the property was originally constructed in 1942 as a multi-family residence. The applicant also states that proposed R-III zoning would be consistent with the surrounding zoning and conform with the neighborhood. A letter has been submitted tQ the Planning Commission from Carol Orlock, a resident of the house on Lots 3 and 4 of Block 283. She states that she is opposed to the rezone request, and does not desire to see the residential density of the area change. In an informal telephone survey, realtors who are familiar with the rental housing market in Port Townsend expressed the opinion that rental housing in Port Townsend is in short supply, particularly for low/moderate income rent:ers. The city Council has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance, dated January 2, 1990, after review of the Environmental Checklist submitted by the applicants pursuant to the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Conclusions: 1. 2. 3. 4. I 5. The applicant states that a demand exists for rental housing in Port Townsend. The applicant has not submitted data supporting this conclusion, nor presented evidence or facts to justify the proposed zoning change. The property surrounding the subject property consists of a variety of zoning districts and uses. There is no mu1 ti- family development directly adjacent to the site; the development surrounding the subject property is predominantly single-family residential detached dwellings and commercial. Therefore, the proposed rezone would single out a small area for a use different and inconsistent with the surrounding land uses of the abutting properties. There is presently vacant land which is zoned R-III in close proximity to the site on which multi-family housing could be located. Several single-family residences are currently located on Block 283. Therefore, the proposed zoning change would not be consistent with the present zoning and land uses of the surrounding area. The applicants have not demonstrated that housing and demographic conditions have changed to the extent that zoning of the subject property should be changed from single family to multiple family. Conditional Use Permit Application No 9001-02 -Nieminen. Council- member Westerman stated she lives next door to this property but feels she would be fair and impartial. Mayor shirley determined that there was no one who would object to CouncilmembE~r Westerman 418 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3, 1990, Cont. participating. Mr O'Neill reviewed the findings, conclusions and conditions of the Planning Commission. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing to the public. George Nieminen was recognized and spoke in favor of the application. There being no further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the public and turned to the Council for disposition. Councilmember Kenna made a motion that the Council adopt the following findings, conclusions and conditions and approve Conditional Use Permit Application No 9001- 02 which was seconded by Councilmember Clise and passed unanimously by voice vote. I Findings: 1. The applicant proposes to establish a one-unit motel on the second floor of an existing building located at 918 Washington Street. The subject property is in the C-III zoning district. The space is currently used as a legal and nonconforming dwelling unit. A motel is permitted in the C-III zoning district with a conditional use permit. 2. The building was constructed in 1889 and is classified as a secondary historical structure in the designation of the Port Townsend Historic District. The ground floor of the building is used as a restaurant. The applicant proposes to convert the second floor to a one-unit motel. The floor area of the second floor is approximately 700 square feet; no addition to the existing building is proposed. The property to the northwest of the subject property is zoned R-II; the property to the southeast is zoned C-III. The property is surrounded by commercial development to the southwest, south, and southeast along both sides of Washington street; the property to the north and northwest slopes up towards Jefferson Street, and is undeveloped. I 3. 4. On January 2, 1990, the City Council passed Ordinance 2175, which lists off-street parking requirements for various land uses. The off-street parking requirement for a motel is 1 parking space per sleeping unit. section 6 of the ordinance states: " . whenever use of an existing building or portion is changed to a different use, off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that such requirement shall be reduced by the number of spaces required for the pre-existing use as if such pre-existing use had been established subject to this chapter." The off-street parking requirement for a dwelling unit is 2 spaces. Therefore, since the off-street parking requirement for the proposed use is less than the off-street parking requirement for the pre-existing use, no off-street parking is required. Conclusions: 1. 2. 3. The proposed use of the building will not endanger the public health or safety, nor will a nuisance be created. I The proposed use will be required to meet all of the conditions and specifications set forth in the C-III zone in which the property is located. The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to the adjoining or aþQtting property. I I 419 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3, 1990, Cont. 4. The proposed use will provide a viable economic use within an historic building without altering the architecturally or historically significant features of the building, and is surrounded by commercial development. Therefore, t:he location and character of the use will be in harmony with the area in which they are located and in general conformi t:y with the Comprehensive Plan. In consideration of the aforementioned findings and conclusions, the City council grants the application as conditioned: 1. The motel use of the subject building shall not exceed one unit, unless there is express approval by amendment of the conditional use permit by the Board of Adjustment (City Council). 2. It is understood that the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code apply and must be me't prior to occupancy. 3. If a building permit and/or occupancy permit is not obtained for subject property within one year from the date of the board's decision, the conditional use permit shall be cancelled and automatically become null and void (17.64.070, Port Townsend Municipal Code). Street Vacation ADplication No 8912-05 Rickard. Mr O'NEÜII thanked the Park Board and applicants for their hours of work on behalf of the Planning Commission. He then reviewed the findings, conclu- sions and conditions of the Planning Commission and a. resolution recommended by the City Attorney. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing to the public. Bob Rickard was recognized and spoke in favor of the vacation and requested that the City dig the holes for the fence material that he will provide for the recommended fence. There being no further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the public and turned to the Council for disposition. RESOLUTION NO 90-30 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CI~~Y OF PORT TOWNSEND APPROVING A PUBLIC ACCESS PL1~N TO ALLOW THE VACATION OF A STREET ABUTTING A BODY OF WATER. Councilmember McCulloch made a motion that the Council adopt Resolution No 90-30 which was seconded by CouncilmembE:!r Westerman and passed unanimously by voice vote. councilmember Westerman made a motion that the Council adopt the following findings, conclusions and conditions and approve Street Vacation Application 8912-05 which was seconded by Councilmember Clise and passed unanimously by voice vote. I Findings: 1. The applicants propose the vacation of the portion of Oneonta street extending north from West Diamond Street. 'The northern boundary of the portion of Oneonta Street proposed to be vacated terminates at a bluff overlooking the strait of Juan de Fuca. The portion of Oneonta Street proposed to be vacated abuts Blocks 90 and 98, Fowler's Park Addition. There are alleys located in Blocks 90 and 98 extending norith from West Diamond Street which the applicants also propose to vacate. The platted right-of-way width of Oneonta Street is 60 feet, while the width of the alley rights-of-way are 12 feet each. The applicants own both Blocks 90 and 98; thE!refore, all property abutting the street and alleys proposed t~o be vacated 2. 420 7. 8. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3, 1990, Cont. is owned by the applicant. The applicants propose to construct a single-family residence on Block 90; a small portion of the residence would be located in the alley right- of-way. 3. The portions of the Oneonta Street and alley rights-of-way proposed to be vacated abut the strait of Juan de Fuca. The bluff at the northern boundary of the rights-of-way and the applicants property is approximately 270 feet above sea level. RCW 35.79.035 outlines the criteria which must be met in order for a street or alley abutting a body of fresh or salt water to be vacated. RCW 35.79.035(1)(C) states: "A city or town shall not vacate a street or alley if any portion of the street or alley abuts a body of fresh or salt water unless: (c) The vacation is sought to enable a city or town to implement a plan, adopted by resolution or ordinance, that provides comparable or improved public access to the same shoreline area to which the streets or alleys sought to be vacated abut, had the properties included in the plan not been vacated." I 4. The western boundary of the applicants' property abuts Elmira Street. The right-of-way width of Elmira Street is 30 feet. Elmira Street is currently open and provides access to the bluff from Cook Avenue to the south. The applicants propose to dedicate property to the city to expand the width of the portion of Elmira Street extending north of West Diamond Street should the application be approved. The applicants propose that Elmira Street be closed to vehicular traffic at West Diamond Street and that the expanded area of Elmira be utilized for pedestrian access to the bluff. I 5. The applicants state that the proposed vacation and land exchange would improve public access to the shoreline, since Elmira Street is more level topographically than Oneonta Street, which the applicants state currently offers no public view access. The applicants also state that the vacation of the street and alleys would consolidate their property and preserve the natural features of the site. 6. The applicants have submitted a site plan, dated February 16, 1990, presenting the proposed dedication of property to the City. The applicants would dedicate approximately 24,300 square feet of land on the western edge of Block 98 south of the bluff line to the City for park purposes. The total area of the street and alleys proposed to be vacated south of the bluff line is approximately 34,000 square feet. The portion of land abutting the bluff to be dedicated would be 100 feet long; the portion of land abutting the bluff of the street and alleys proposed to be vacated is 84 feet long. There are no water or sewer lines located in the portion of Oneonta street proposed to be vacated. A 6-inch water line is located in the po+tion of Elmira Street west of Block 98. fhe topogrqphy of the property ranges from moderately level or tÞ~ wes¡tern :pq:rt:ion to steep s¡qp~s on the northeast portion. The topography of th~ area on the western edge of Block 98 which is proposed for dedication to the City is more level than the topography of the portion of Oneonta Street proposed to be vacated. I Conclusions: 1. The proposed street and alley vacation is in compliance with the goals and policies of the comprehensive Plan. I I 421 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 3,1990, Cont. 2. The portions of the street and alley rights-of-way proposed to be vacated are not required for current or anticipated overall area circulation. 3. The effectiveness of fire, law enforcement, medical or other emergency services will not be impaired by the proposed vacation. 4. The portions of the street and alley rights-of-way proposed to be vacated are not required as a current or anticipated utility corridor. 5. The portions of the street and alley rights-of-way proposed to be vacated are not required as a current or anticipated bicycle, pedestrian or equestrian trail corridor. Improved public pedestrian access to the bluff shall be provided through the proposed expansion of Elmira Street. 6. The portions of the street and alley rights-of-\\ 'ay proposed to be vacated abut a body of saltwater; however, 1:he vacation is sought to permit better pedestrian access to tht::! water, and is therefore consistent with RCW 35.79.035. 7. Because the proposed street vacation conforms wi t:h the goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan and satisfies the review criteria for street vacations set forth in Section 12.20.060 of the City Council grants the above referenced application as conditioned: 1. A certified copy of the ordinance vacating the street shall be recorded by the city clerk in the office of the Jefferson County auditor. 2. The applicants shall dedicate approximately 1:he westerly 24,300 square feet of Block 98 to the city, as shown in the site plan submitted by the applicants da1:ed February 16, 1990. The total amount of land to be dedicated shall be based on a survey; the total area to be dedicated shall not deviate from 24,300 square feet by more than ten percent. 3. All lot lines on Blocks 90 and 98 abutting Oneonta and Elmira Streets shall be vacated. COMMITTEE REPORTS Solid Waste Advisory.
