The Port' Townsend Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that' the Zoning Ordina~ce be amended to permit operation of an air compressor as-a conditional use in residential zones. The Commission is favorably disposed toward Mr. Watson's request, but is unable to recommend granting a conditional use permit or a va~iance ~nder the present Zoning Ordinance. /s/ Kay miner, Chairman Port Townsend Planning Commission I 'A letter from Fred W. & Marguerette W. McIlroy was read objecting to the granting of any variance. A letter from C. Robert Chase was read in favor of the request.

PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing on a request for a rezone by the Port Commission was opened and the request read again by the Deputy Clerk. The following recommendation was' read from the Planning Commission: 8 Dear Sirs: The Port Townsend Planning~Commission held a special meeting on June 12, 1972, for the purpose of conducting public hearings on two requests submitted to them. The request from the Port of Port Townsend asking for a rezone of property adjacent to the Port Boat Haven, South of Sims Way, was read. The Port of Port Townsend requests this property presently zoned Q-l to be changed to M-l, to allow commercial operations in that area. The Port Townsend Planniog Commission discussed this proposal with George Randolf,' Port manager, and Mr. Roger French, Engineer. . The Port Townsend Planning Commission therefore would recommend to the City Council that this property be rezoned M-l, and to include the first twenty feet from the highway right~õf- way as a landscape/buffer zone; and that the Port require this landscape/buffer zone to be maintained by the less~e.' . /s/ Kay' Min~r; Ch~ir~an Port Towl~end. Planning Commission' I Kay Wojt, from the Planning Commission spoke from the audiance anq said that she ~aq doubts ab~ut changing this area to an M-l zone sinée this leaves the door open to a~y kind of deve~opment.. She wanted to.keep P-l" buffer zones alond the highway and waterfront. City ~ttorney ~braham pointed (Jut that _the buffer zone require- ment would be setting a precedent in an M-l zone that could 'prove embaressing and inconsistant with itsèlf. If the 20 foot set-back were written into this rezone it wduld ~ean.a s~t back more stringent then. in an R-l zone. He also pointed out that in considering a reqúest for a rezone it is not the city's role to approve what type of industry or building will go into that zone. He stated that if the council really wanted to leave that 20 foot buffer zone that they could zoné it P-l. After more discussion the hearing was closed.. -Coúncilman Camfield stated that he felt no desire to place restrictions on the Port Commission because their judgement in required set-backs and landscaping is probably every bit as good as the city's and moved that the rezone be approved as , presented by the Port Commission. It was seconded by C6uncilman Hufford and passed.
