MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF MAY 15, 1990, Cont.
Findings:
1.
The applicants propose to establish a tourist home use in an
existing building located on Lot 2, Panorama Heights Short
Plat. The applicants own Lots 1, 2, and 3, in this
subdivision. The applicants' residence is located on Lot 1,
while a barn with an apartment is located on Lot 2. The barn
was built in 1987. Ordinance 2155, passed by the City
Council on June 20, 1989, states that "A tourist home or a
portion thereof may be located in an accessory building which
was lawfully established prior to June 1, 1989." A tourist
home use is allowed in the R-IA zone as a conditional use.
I
2.
The zoning code defines "accessory building" as "a subordinate
building, the use of which is incidental to the use of the
main bui lding on the same lot." ( 1 7 . 0 8 . 0 1 0 , Port Townsend
Municipal Code) In order for the barn/apartment to be
considered an "accessory' building" to the applicants'
residence, it will be necessary to place a restrictive
covenant on the property combining Lots 1 and 2 as a single
building site, so that the accessory building would be on the
same lot as the existing residence. The applicants have
agreed to place this covenant on the property. At the time
the barn/apartment was constructed, the subject property had
not been divided into lots; the subdivision of the property
was approved by Council in January, 1989.
3.
The subject property is located north of 35th Street and east
of Howard Street. Access to the property is from an easement
which was dedicated at the time the Panorama Heights Short
Plat was approved. The site is surrounded by single family
residential development. All of the property surrounding the
subject property is zoned R-IA.
The proposed tourist home would have one guest unit.
Ordinance 2155, as passed by the City Council on June 20,
1989, states that "A bed and breakfast inn or a tourist home
shall provide two off-street parking spaces for the owner's
use plus one parking space for each guest room". Therefore,
the proposed use requires three off-street parking spaces.
The applicant states that four off-street parking spaces are
designated on the property.
I
Conclusions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The proposed tourist home use of the subject property will not
endanger the public health or safety, nor will a nuisance be
created.
The proposed use will be required to meet all of the
conditions and specifications set forth in the R-IA zone in
which the property is located.
The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to
adjoining or abutting property.
The location and character of the use will be in harmony with
the area in which it is located and will be in general
conformity with the Comprehensive Plan.
I
In consideration of the aforementioned findings and conclusions,
the City Council grants the application as conditioned:
1.
The proposed tourist home use shall exhibit no outward
appearance of a business or of a non-residential use,
except for signs permitted in Chapter 17.34 of the Port
Townsend Municipal Code.

A restrictive covenant connecting Lots 1 and 2, Panorama
Heights Short Plat, as one lot must be executed and
recorded by the applicants prior to issuance of a
occupancy permit.

If an occupancy permit is not obtained for the proposed
use of the subject property wi thin one year from the date
of the board's decision, the conditional use permit shall
be cancelled and automatically become null and void.
Conditional Use Application No 9002-03 -Jefferson General Hospital.
Mr Hildt reviewed the findings, conclusions and condit,ions of the
Port Townsend Planning commission. Mayor Shirley opened the
hearing to the public. There being no testimony, Mayor Shirley
closed the hearing to the public and turned to the Council for
disposition. Councilmember Camfield made a motion that the Council
adopt the following findings, conclusions and conditions and grant
Conditional Use Application No 9002-03 which was seconded by
Councilmember Clise and passed unanimously by voice vote.
Findings:
1.
The applicant proposes to establish three modular buildings
as an expansion to Jefferson General Hospital. 11he location
of the proposed buildings would be Lots 3-6, Block 192,
Eisenbeis Addition. This property is located in the R-I
zoning district. A hospital is permitted in the R-I zoning
district with a conditional use permit. City Att~orney Keith
Harper has previously opined that when a use which requires
a conditional use permit expands, the expansion also requires
a conditional use permit.
2.
The three buildings would be located on Lots 3-6, Block 192,
Eisenbeis Addition. This property is bounded by vacated 9th
Street to the south, Cleveland Street to the west, Wilson
street to the east, and Lots 2 and 7, Block 192, to the north.
The existing hospital buildings are located on portions of
Blocks 210, 211, 219 and 220, Eisenbeis Addition, which are
to the south and southwest of the subject property. The
property is surrounded by a single-family residence to the
north, vacant property to the east, the hospital to the south,
and a parking lot for the hospital to the 'Ilest across
Cleveland Street.
3.
The applicant proposes three buildings, each of which would
be 28 feet by 34 feet, or 952 square feet. Two of the
buildings would be used for business office space and a
conference room, while the third building would be used for
office space for two physicians or storage. The offices
would be open from 7: 00 am to 6: 00 pm, while the! conference
room would sometimes be used until 9: 00 pm. Th,e applicant
states that approximately 16 people would work in ithe proposed
buildings.
Ordinance 2175 outlines off-street parking requirements for
uses. The off-street parking requirement for al1l office not
providing on-site customer services is one space per 400
square feet of floor area; the parking requirement for medical
offices is one space per 200 square feet of floor area.
Therefore, the off-stree.t parking requirement for the two
business office buildings would be 5 spaces (1904 square
feet/400), while the off-street parking requirement for the
446
4.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF MAY 15, 1990, Cont.
5.
medical office building would be 5 spaces (952 square
feet/200), for a total of 10 off-street parking spaces. The
applicant has submitted an amended site plan, dated April 11,
1990, which designates the southern 30 feet of the subject
property as parking. Access to the parking would be from an
existing 33-foot-wide driveway which is developed on the
portion of vacated 9th street south of the site.
The bulk and dimensional requirements outlined in Section
17.20.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code require
buildings in the R-I zoning district to have a front and rear
setback of 20 feet, and side setbacks of 5 and 10 feet;
building height cannot exceed 30 feet; and lot coverage cannot
exceed 35 percent. The site plan submitted by the applicants
conforms to these requirements. The applicant has submitted
a letter, dated April 10, 1990, stating that the lot lines
between Lots 3,4, 5, and 6 could be vacated so that the site
could be described as one lot. The amended site plan shows
that the proposed buildings would be located on the existing
lots lines.
I
Conclusions:
1.
The proposed use of the subject property, developed under the
conditions specified herein, will not endanger the public
health or safety, nor will a nuisance be created.
The proposed use will be required to meet all of the condi-
tions and specifications set forth in the R-I zone in which
the property is located.
2.
3.
The proposed use, developed under the conditions specified
herein, will not be injurious or detrimental to adjoining or
abutting property.
I
The location and character of the use, developed under the
conditions specified herein, will be in harmony with the area
in which it is located and will be in general conformity with
the Comprehensive Plan.
In consideration of the aforementioned findings and conclusions,
the City Council grants the above referenced application as
conditioned:
1.
The applicant shall plant and maintain a landscaped
buffer between the proposed facility and abutting
properties to the north, west, and east. A landscaping
plan shall be submitted to and approved by the building
official prior to issuance of a building permit.

parking spaces shall be developed in accordance with
Ordinance 2175 shall be approved by the building official
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
3.

Uniform Fire Code apply and must be met prior to
occupancy.

the board's decision, the conditional use permit shall
be cancelled and automatically become null and void.

Conditional Use Permit Application 8902-02 -Michael Gilman
After respectful consideration of the above-referenced application
and after timely notification and hearing, the Port Townsend City
Council acting as Board of Adjustment granted the above-referenced
application and permit and adopted the recommended Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of the Planning Commission dated March 30, 1989,

Thereafter, it was determined that Lots 3 and 4 of Block 68, petty-
grove's First Addition, were not platted lots, and that in fact
Block 68 was never originally platted as part of pettygrove's First
Addition.
After discovering the discrepancy in the legal description of the
property, the applicant, and the owner of the property Carlos
Quintana, diligently proceeded to apply for a short subdivision of
the property and to obtain a final plat, without which the property
could not be acquired by the applicant nor developed as approved
in the Conditional Use Application.
For those reasons beyond the control of the applicant, and of which
he had no knowledge, a building permit or occupancy permit could
not be obtained until the final plan was approved, which was
accomplished on May 1, 1990.
Now, therefore, the City Council acting as Board of Adjustment here
and hereby amends its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of the City
Council, by amending Condition 4 effective as of this date to read
as follows:
4.
If a building permit or occupancy permit is not obtained for
the subject property on or before August 15, 1990, the
Conditional Use Permit shall be cancelled and automatically
become null and void.
