James (Bonzo) DeLeo was recognized and requested that finishing
Washington Street from Taylor Street to Walker Street be added to
the Six Year Street Program, Kearney street be delayed and that an
intersection at Benedict street from 12th street onto Sims Way be
improved and a stop light be installed later, if neclessary, and
that this would eliminate 2 3-way crossings of Sims Way. Mr DeLeo
also stated he thought it was in poor taste when Councilmember
McCulloch, being on the Jefferson County Land Trust Committee,
participated in the voting on the purchase of the Triangle Park
property.

the property for the Triangle Park for the City. Th;:! Jefferson
County Land Trust was the facilitating agency that helped to

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF JULY 17, 1990, Cont.
2.
A motel has a requirement of a minimum of one off-street
parking unit per sleeping unit. The current area surrounding
the proposed motel units is highly congestad, and there is a
serious shortage of parking. There are currently 3 off-street
parking spaces owned by the applicants loca1:ed directly behind
the structure, accessed by a public alleyw~y.
I
3.
As this is a change of use, section 17.30,060 of the zoning
code allows that the number of off-street parking spaces of
the pre-existing use be subtracted from the number required
for the new use, as if the pre-exist:.ng use had been
established pursuant to the present code. i~s the previous use
was for two studio apartments, and each apartment would be
required to provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces, the total
required off-street parking spaces would he 3. Subtracting
the requirement for the proposed or new u:;e, the total off-
street parking required for the motel l,nits would be -1
spaces.
Conclusions:
1.
The proposed motel units will not endanger the public health
or safety, nor create a nuisance to the surrounding
neighborhood.
2.
The proposed use will be required to meet all conditions and
specifications set forth in the C-III ~:one in which the
property is located, except for those leg~l, non-conforming
conditions that were in existence prior to the enactment of
the Port Townsend Zoning Code of 1971.
3.
The use will no be injurious or detriment:il to adjoining or
abutting property.
I
The subject property is located in the C-IlI zoning district,
and is similar to other development in th,~ area. There are
similar uses occurring in the immediate vicinity. Therefore,
the location and character of a motel would be in harmony with
the area in which it is located.
The proposed units will contribute to downtown
congestion if no off-street parking is provided.
parking
In consideration of the aforementioned findings and conclusions,
the Port Townsend city council grants the above-mentioned
application as conditioned.
Conditions:
1.
2.
Two of the parking spaces located behind the building be
clearly labeled for motel guest use only.
The motel units meet fire code compliance, and are inspected
and approved by the Port Townsend Fire D'~partment prior to
occupancy.

Addition in the M-I zoning district. An office building is

uses. The off-street parking requirement for business and
professional offices not providing on-site customer services
is one space per 400 square feet of floor area; thE!refore, the
off-street parking requirement for the proposed office
building would be .75 (or one) space (300 square feet/400).
Under the current parking requirements the existing two
buildings would be required to supply a maximUI1\ of 5 off-
street parking spaces for a total of six spaces. The
applicant stated in the application that 15 parkinq spaces are
currently available on the site. No parking spaces are
proposed to be removed. Access to the parking would be from
sims Way.
The bulk and dimensional requirements outlined in Section
17.20.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code require
buildings in the M-I zoning district to be 20 feet from the
front and rear property lines and 10 feet from side property
lines with a maximum height of 35 feet. The subject site
meets these requirements. Section 17.20.020 of the Port
Townsend Municipal Code requires all buildings to be ten feet
from any building on the same or adjacent propert:ies.
Conclusions:

or safety, nor will a nuisance be created.
The proposed use will be required to meet all of the

and is not required for current or anticipated overall area
circulation.
3.
The effectiveness of fire, law enforcement, medical or other

accommodated.

The alley proposed to be vacated is not required as a current
or anticipated bicycle, pedestrian or equest~rian trail
corridor.
6.
The alley proposed to be vacated does not abut on a body of
