PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, now that school is in session, more children are walking to and from
neighborhood schools - many of them during the busiest time of the day. A time of the day
when many motorists are rushing to work or heading home after a tiring day at work. It is vital
that the safety of our children is addressed by making walking safer in our community. Each
year, an estimated 5,700 pedestrians are killed - one out of seven of those are children; and
WHEREAS, hundreds of children could be saved each year if every community takes
steps to make pedestrian safety a priority; and
WHEREAS, parents and caregivers should teach children about pedestrian safety and
become aware of the difficulties and dangers that children face on their trip to school each day;
and
WHEREAS, community leaders and parents should determine the "walkability" of their
community by using the Walkability Checklist; and
WHEREAS, everyone should make a plan to make immediate changes to increase the
safety of children who are walking in our communities and a list of suggestions for
improvements that can be done over time; and
WHEREAS, children, parents, volunteers and community leaders are joining together
nationwide to walk to school and evaluate pedestrian safety in their community;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Lynn S. Horton, Mayor of the City of Bremerton do hereby
proclaim October 2, 2001 as "WALK OUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL DAY" in Bremerton and
encourage everyone to consider the safety of pedestrians today and everyday.

any final decisions on these individual proposals until the entire 2000-2001 Docket of Proposed
Amendments has been heard, in order to maintain consideration of their cumulative effect throughout

WHEREAS, in order to mitigate the aesthetic impact of signs in the public right-of-way, and to
protect the public health, safety and welfare from placement of signs in the public right-of-way that
impair visibility of pedestrians and vehicles the City Council finds it necessary to restrict the use of
temporary and special purpose signs in the public right-of-way, and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has been advised by the City Attorney that the time restriction on
the placement of political signs is too restrictive; and
WHEREAS, given that political signs can be placed on both commercial and residential property
throughout the City, and that there historically is a significant number of political signs placed on private
property all at the same time; and
WHEREAS, this pattern and intensity of sign placement does not occur with other types of
temporary signs; and
WHEREAS, due to the proliferation of political signs, which is encouraged by the Council in
order to provide the widest possible expression of political speech, the Council finds that it is not a
burdensome restraint upon the freedom of expression to restrict the size of political signs to 32 square
feet per sign; now, therefore,

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR ..~'~tL~AcTIoN: The City of Bremerton proposes to
amend its Comprehensive Plan and Optimum Land Use Map throug~f'city and public initiated amendment applications that will be
applied citywide as well as to specific properties. The approved amendments will be adopted by ordinance and are some amendments
are accompanied by related rezones to maintain consistency with the Plan.
These three proposed amendments are among eleven total in the 2000-1 Docket of amendments for City Council consideration. This
agenda bill is to hold public hearings on each of the following proposals separately:
· PL00-0061 Wheaton Way Comp Plan amendment and zoning (Loveless/Brook)
· PL00-0062 Hanford Avenue Comp Plan amendment and zoning (Schmidt)
· PLO 1-0001 Pearl Street Comp Plan amendment and zoning (Setterlund)
The required analysis of cumulative effect of the eleven proposals, combined, as well as the SEPA determination on their cumulative
effect were heard by the Council on Aug. 29, 200 I. Public hearings on the other specific proposals on the 2000-1 Docket were
conducted on September 5 and September 12, 2001.
8. RECOMMENDATION: The City Planning Commission has forwarded all three proposed amendments to
the Council with a recommendation to not approve them. However, the Council will not make anyfinal
decisions on these individual proposals until the entire 2000-1 Docket of proposed amendments has been
heard, in order to maintain consideration of their cumulative effect throughout the process.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & REZONE AMENDMENTS
for
Loveless Brook- Hanford & Wheaton Way (P&BD File #: PL00-0061)
January 14, 2001 (Revised April 13, 2001)
Applicant: Loveless Brook, Inc. Representative: Ric Bearbower
11808 Northrup Way, Suite W-300 [360] 613-9692
Bellevue, Wash. 98005-1936
[425] 827-5461
Location: This proposal involves a single parcel of undeveloped land containing approximately
9.65 forested acres with one single family residence located at 3915 Wheaton Way,
Bremerton, WA. The proposal is located on the west side of Wheaton Way, north of
Arby's between Hanford Avenue, and the Broadmoor Village housing project in east
Bremerton. The site is identified for tax purposes by Assessor's Parcel No.: 022401-1-
031-2006.
Description: The Loveless Brook property is part of the James Nelson Barrie estate situated in close
proximity to the Clare's Marsh Shopping Center site. The Clare's Marsh property now
supports the buildings occupied by Good Will, United Furniture Warehouse and many
other various commercial ventures. The sUbject parcel is approximately 10 acres in size
and is configured in an east-west orientation with approximately 325 340 feet of frontage
on Wheaton Way and extends approximately 1271 feet to the western boundary which
also is the Bremerton city limit line. The site is heavily forested with coniferous species
dominating the eastern and western ends and deciduous tree cover dominating the central
portion ............. portion ...... parcel '~;~ ........ *~--'~ ,,.,4 ;,
-,-~t~,-~ o pcssible
A utility easement cuts across the property from north to south approximately 475 feet
west of Wheaton Way. The only ingress / egress to the site is a singular driveway which
serves a single family residence situated near the eastern boundary bordering Wheaton
Way. The western boundary borders the unincorporated area of Kitsap County and is
moderately developed with low density single family residential housing known as the
Roswell Drive area. The northern property tine is separated from Broad Street by a
narro~v strip of undeveloped lots. Broad Street serves some commercial use on the
eastern end of Wheaton Way and the high density residential development, Broadmoor
Village, at the western end. The entire area bordering the southern edge of the parcel
contains fully developed single family residential lots on both sides of Hanford Avenue
which runs east and west from Wheaton Way. The eastern side of Wheaton Way
opposite the proposal site is fully developed mixed use strip commercial.
The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Map does depicts the front 200 feet of the Loveless
Brook site frontage on Wheaton Way as General and Highway Commercial (G-C). The
remaining 1,100 feet is shown on the plan map as Low Density Residential (LDR). The
entire parcel is zoned SF-3 (Single Family Residential)
Proposal: The applicant's amended request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official
Zoning Map amendments. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment would extend
the G-C classification by 400 feet to approximately 600 Feet west of Wheaton Way.
The balance of the property would be changed from the LDR designation to Mixed Use.
amendment proposal will be as follows:
The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended (for the portions of the property not
already classified C-G) from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway
Commercial (C-G) to a distance of 600 feet as measured from the west right-of-way line
of Wheaton Way and The balance of the property would be changed from Low Density
Residential (LDR) to Mixed Use (MU).
The concurrent Official Zoning Map amendment would rezone the front 600 feet of
property (as measured from the west right'of-way of Wheaton Way from Single Family
Residential (SF-3) to General Business (GB). Like the comprehensive plan amendment,
the west portion of the property would be rezoned from Single Family Residential (SF-3)
to Mixed Use (MU) ~' ..... ~ c .... et: ~ a>~ T .... r~..,~ ,^ ~ ..... ~

FINDINGS
1. Surrounding Land Uses:
A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property. This included
the property surrounding the intersection of Hanford Avenue and Wheaton Way and East Broad
Street and Wheaton Way. The surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and
commercial development, with the commercial development oriented and centered along
Wheaton Way and at main arterial intersections.
2
With the exception of the Broadmoor development, the general trend over the past several
decades for vacant properties having frontage on Wheaton Way has been toward mi-xe4-use
various types of retail and office commercial development. The comprehensive zoning scheme
for the Wheaton Way corridor supports and encourages that trend for all but developed
residential neighborhoods.

2. Proposal:
The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map
amendments. The end result will be to change both maps to designate the properties involved in
the amendment request from single family residential to commercial and mixed use.
Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed (for the portions of the property
not already classified C-G) from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway
Commercial (C-G). The official Zoning Map would be amended to change the zoning from
Single Family Residential (SF - 3 ) to General Business (GB) and Mixed Use (MU).

3. SEPA Determination:
The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan and Optimum Land
Use Map through city and public initiated amendment applications which will be applied city
wide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to
Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
and Rezone application requests are considered non project actions which do not propose
specific development impacts project. Throughout the year, applications for Plan amendments
are received (often accompanied by related rezones to maintain consistency between the City's
Plan and Zoning maps) and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the
"cumulative effects". Those amendments and rezones recommended for approval as a result of
the Public Hearing process conducted by the Bremerton Planning Commission are adopted by
City Council Ordinance. There is no proposal Ibr use and development of the property at this
3
time. At such time as the property_ is rezoned and there is a development proposal there will be
another site-specific State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) analysis conducted. The results of
that analysis will be determined in the course of a development application review. ¢m:the~
A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued for this non project action in accordance
with WAC 197-11 on January 16, 2001. The applicant's amended request is judged to have a
lesser impact than the original proposal addressed in the DNS. Thus, no further SEPA review is
required prior to the City's action to consider and approve the amended Comprehensive Plan and
Rezone request.
4. Comprehensive Plan Criteria:
Element K of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Implementation, Consistency and
Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the "Criteria for Approval,"
which must be satisfied before Plan Amendments can be approved. The procedures followed for
consideration of this proposed amendment are those outlined in the Growth Management Act
RCW 36.70A.130
5. Approval Criteria:
All proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan must meet all five criteria listed. This
proposal meets criteria as follows:
(1) Consistent with GMA and regulations:
Response: This proposal does not conflict with any of the GMA or City planning goals and is
especially consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic
development, etc.
(2) No significant adverse effects:
Response: There are no steep slopes to be found on the property. There is a possibility that a
wetland area may exist. Whereas there is residential development along a portion of the north, west, and
south property lines, perimeter buffers can be set aside at the time of future development, which will
mitigate the off-site impacts of commercial development. This is especially true since there is substantial
mature tree cover on the site.
There is approximately 340 325 feet of frontage on Wheaton Way to allow spacing of ingress/egress
points to minimize traffic flow conflicts. A center turn lane exists to facilitate turning movements with
minimum impedance of traffic flows.
(3) Can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation:
Response: The site has been served with all services, facilities, and utilities for several decades and fronts
on a major arterial. No significant conflict is anticipated here.
4
(4) Will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan:
Response: Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial
development, and attracting new businesses to the City are local policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is consistent with those polices and objectives.
(5) Impacts beyond the City limits:
Response: This proposed site al area is within the City of Bremerton and located east of and
adjacent to the Roswell unincorporated area (served by Pine Road to the west) of Kitsap County. The
site is expected at some future point to accommodate new commercial development that might otherwise
locate outside the City. It is not expected that the new development will adversely impact areas beyond
the City limits, but could reduce traffic flowing out of the City to other commercial areas somewhat by
providing new shopping and employment opportunities within the City, within walking distance of
existing residential neighborhoods, and in an area served by public transit.
6. Comprehensive Plan:
The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies a Wheaton Way Corridor "key area", as mentioned in
the EAST BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and improvement plans.
Certain statements made in both sections include references to mixed use development such as:
EAST BREMERTON PLAN:
D. Commercial Lands: "The Wheaton Way Corridor is a long strip of intense auto-oriented commercial
activity. This is a very successful and valuable commercial strip. However, commercial signs, lights
noise, and heavy traffic dominate and the result is an environment that is often hostile to the pcdesrian or
bicyclist and generally unattractive to the passer-by.
E. Industrial lands: "the City will encourage small businesses that assemble products or conduct on-
premise sales of manufactured goods in a mixed-use environment as well as small home base operations
E-3: WHEATON WAY CORRIDOR:
C. Recommendations:
2. In addition to the basic functions, and absent specific design guidelines, the City should
ensure that the following policies are considered during the permitting process for all
future expansion and new development along the corridor:
a. Developments shall provide interconnecting pedestrian walkways, to the greatest
extent possible, to encourage walking.
d. New curb cuts and driveways shall be discouraged. Frontage roads or common
access points serving several adjacent properties are preferred.
e. The City shall consider amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a
bonus system for mixed-use development, possibly based on a point system, that
will encourage increased densities and commercial/office intensities along the
Corridor and maximize land use efficiency.
f. For transportation planning purposes, priority shall be given to Plan
Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density within one-
fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor.
Response: The text and policies of the Comprehensive Plan discuss actions to be taken in the assessment
of development proposals and those to be initiated by the City to amend its zoning ordinance.
Specifically, the 1995 Comprehensive Plan anticipated that the City would take steps to amend it's
Zoning Ordinance to better address Mixed Use development possibilities in the Wheaton Way Corridor.
The 1995 adopted Plan targeted the Bremerton School District property between Sheridan Road and
Sylvan Way to be Mixed Use. Subsequently, the plan was amended in 1998 to change the classification
from Mixed Use to C-G. The C-G Classification was viewed an appropriate amendment as it allowed a
development pattern that is consistent with the _type of land uses the City found appropriate to promote in
the Wheaton Way corridor. Similarly, the Loveless Brook Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposal
would continue to allow the type of commercial land uses typically found in the Wheaton Way corridor.
The fact that the Loveless Brook amended proposal includes a Mixed Use map designation is consistent
with the apparent intent of the 1995 plan to foster a mix of land use types in the corridor.
7. Additional Discussion:
The proposed amendment presents several issues for consideration:
Land Use: The conversion of properties within the area of consideration of sites that fronts on Wheaton
Way appears appropriate. Wheaton Way is a major arterial carrying between 32,000 (at Riddell Road) to
33,000 (at Sylvan Way) average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered to be of a sufficient
level to create commercial development opportunities. Staff recognizes that certain commercial land uses
could also create noise and possibly other impacts on the nearby residences. But through appropriate site
planning and design, these impacts could be minimized.
Given the fact the site affected by this proposed amendment abuts three residential neighborhoods, it will
be incumbent on the eventual developer(s) to design a use proposal that allows commercial development
while at the same time "Promotes safe, attractive, livable neighborhoods that will attract homeowners."
The City has in it's Site Plan Review and/or Planned Unit Development approval process the ability to
implement appropriate land use controls to minimize off-site impacts. Those controls include, but are not
limited to the set aside of perimeter buffers, minimizing light and exposure on adjacent properties,
location of parking and loading facilities so as to minimize conflicts with adjacent neighbors, and
implementation of storm water control mechanisms that restrict off-site flow rates.
Traffic and Circulation: Neither the intersection of Hanford Avenue nor East Broad Street is signalized.
One or the other or perhaps a new access point midway along the subject property might warrant
signalization as a result of commercial development of the Loveless Brook site. The determination o.__f fo~
what is best for traffic flows will be a consideration at the time there is a specific proposal for the site.
Given the spacing between the existing signalized intersections at Hollis and Sylvan Way, a signal
located in the vicinity of this property could be a valid consideration.
Services and Facilities: Water and sanitary sewer is available to the site. There is a utility easement
through the site approximately 475 650 west of Wheaton Way. The easement is for a 10"- 12" sanitary
sewer line and a 42" storm sewer trunk line knoxvn as the Pine Road Interceptor. Water lines can be
found on Wheaton Way, Hanford and East Broad Street. Predictably, there would be some system
upgrades required at the time of development. Such system requirements are best addressed at the time
of a development proposal. Storm water controls will be required at the time of development. On-site
detention may be required before storm water is discharged into the City's storm sewer collection system.
8. Rezone / Ordinance & Official Map Amendments
The procedures to be followed for Zoning Ordinance or Official Zoning Map changes are those
found in Section 21.02.920 "REZONE" of the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC)and Section
21.02.090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" and Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES"
of the BMC:
The City Council may approve a change in zoning classification of property within the City
limits by passage of an ordinance, following a public hearing, provided the new zone is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and adopted approval criteria. Approval of a
Rezone results in a change to the Official Zoning Map.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.920(d) Criteria for Approval: A Rezone may be
approved if all of the following can be answered "YES":
(1) Is the proposed Rezone consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? (See Section
21.02.090 "Plan/Zoning Consistency" of this code.)
Response: The proposed rezone is not consistent with the existing Low Density Residential (LDR)
plan classification for the Loveless Brook property. However, the concurrent action to amend the
Bremerton Comprehensive Plan Map proposes a change in the Plan to allow General & Highway
Commercial (C-G) and Mixed Use (MU) uses for this property. Both the 22-,,e proposed General Business
(GB) and Mixed Use (MU) Zones are is an implementing zones and thus, will be consistent with the
amended Comprehensive Plan amendment proposal.
(2) Is the Rezone justified for one or more of the following reasons?
It is in the public interest to approve the Rezone to accommodate needed changes within
the immediate vicinity or neighborhood.
It will correct a zone classification or boundary that was inappropriate when
established.
It is a planned step in a phasing process to gradually bring zoning into consistency with
the 20-year Co~nprehensive Plan when appropriate
It will place or move an overlay zoning designation without affecting the underlying
zone.
Response: For the The first two reasons that~ fc, r j'agti~qcatic, n c,f thc Rezone See the
discussion response for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment approval - particularly the Land Use
discussion.
The last two reasons for justification of a rezone, do not apply to this Plan and Official Zoning Map
amendment. Given the traffic conditions on Wheaton Way, the presence of commercial zoning on the
north, south and east of the site, it is reasonable to address this area more specifically than perhaps was
7
done in 1995 when the City adopted it's Growth Management Act compliant Comprehensive Plan. The
specific analysis for the Comprehensive Plan amendment is indicative of a need for a change in the plan
for this area and consequently a change in the zoning. There was a significant amount of traffic on
Wheaton Way when the plan was adopted in 1995, however there were some vacancies in the available
commercial land that is not the case in 2000-2001.
Certainly, there would be an argument to be made, that in 1995 the subject property should have been
included in the commercial land use designations at that time. The development progression in the
intervening years since 1995 indicates there is a need for more commercial zoning in this area of the
City. Thus, the Loveless Brook -Hanford & Wheaton Way Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning
Map amendment will result in a more appropriate zoning of the property then perhaps was true in 1995.
(3) Is there a public need for the proposed Rezone that will clearly benefit the local
neighborhood and/or the community of Bremerton?
Response: There is no set standard which says a community or a neighborhood needs a certain
amount of commercial land. Absent a standard, a City like Bremerton must evaluate trends to determine
what seems to be an appropriate amount of commercial area. Two other factors must also be considered
- the "competitive market place" and the location for the proposed zoning. Many communities, and
Bremerton is no exception, rely on healthy businesses, be they retail, service or manufacturing based to
support the services provided by the government. One way to promote a vigorous economy is to provide
ample land for commercial and industrial use in the proper locations. Streets and highways with heavy
traffic volumes are particularly attractive to businesses that depend on high numbers of people passing by
to sell their goods and services. Businesses that might locate in the corridor along Wheaton Way will
come there if they can find appropriate sites at a competitive price. If there is a limited amount of
available land, the price may escalate to a point potential site users will go elsewhere to build their stores.
Having made an assessment that the Wheaton Way corridor can accommodate additional commercial
uses, the next question to be answered is the appropriateness of the area for General Business Zoning.
This question has already been answered in the discussion of the proposed comprehensive plan
amendment. Of particular mention for the rezone assessment is the notation that the site has 340 325 feet
of frontage on Wheaton Way. That fact, plus the opportunity to connect to both East Broad and Hanford
Avenue will provide the opportunity for parallel circulation west of Wheaton Way and offer two-three
commercial sites which have frontage on two streets. There is an additional advantage in that near-by
neighbors can walk to the site.
"Comer Pads" are particularly desirable to potential commercial businesses and thus, this is an attractive
feature for the eventual user. The pattern of development typically found on "pad" sites is reflective of
the type of development found along Wheaton Way, not the least of which is the Arbys Restaurant
located immediately adiacent to the southeast comer of the site.
(4) Are all essential public facilities and services available and adequate, or can be
made available, to serve the types and levels of development permitted in the
requested zone?
Response: All of the infrastructure required to support development of this property exists in the
area including a main trunk line storm sewer. However, it is expected that a potential user of this rezone
area would implement additional storm water run-off control measures as part of any development
proposal. Also, if there are any deficiencies in the existing infrastructure, whether for roads, water,
sewer or storm sewer, the eventual site user will have to pay for or participate in the expenses required to
upgrade the utility or road service systems.
(5) Will the area being proposed for rezoning become part of a larger zoning district or
form a new district which will not be considered an isolated "spot zone?"
Response: The Loveless Brook - Hanford & Wheaton Way Comprehensive Plan and Official
Zoning Map amendment would establish a land use pattern which is an extension of the existing plan and
commercial zoning that abuts the site on the east side of Wheaton Way. The northeast corner of the
parcel, on the north boundary line, extending westward approximately 350 feet, and parallel to Broad
Street, is zoned General Business (GB). General Business (GB) zoning, is also found on the Arbys
property adjacent to the southeast corner of the property. Across Wheaton Way, extending both north
and south, GB zoning is designated to a depth of 400-500 feet. The amended proposal meets the test of
being a part of a larger zoning district.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" states:
Regulations used to implement the Comprehensive Plan, including zoning, must be consistent with the
Plan. Figure 090, PRIMARY ZONE CONSISTENCY depicts the relationships between each Plan
designation and the primary zones.
Response: The current Comprehensive Plan designation of the parcel, LDR (Low-density
Residential) does not include the_proposed General Business (GB) or Mixed Use (MU) zone as a
primary zone. Consequently: the GB zone classification and Mixed Use (MU) request would be
considered as a secondary or accessory zone.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES" reads: In unique cases,
rezone requests for zones not listed in Figure 090 as "primary" may be approved for limited application.
These secondary or accessory zones will also be considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and may be approved, but only when they meet the City's standard Rezone criteria #3,4, and 5, and each
of the following additional criteria:
(a) The zone shall consist of no more than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Plan
designation in which it is proposed; and
(b) The zone is necessary to allow a use or development that is accessory to or directly
supportive of a planned or existing use in the adjacent primary zone; and
(c) The rezone includes conditions of approval to cause the zoning to revert if the intended use
for that zone, as approved, is not developed within a reasonable time, if the use is ceased or
abandoned for a period of at least one year, or for other reason deemed appropriate at the
time of approval.
Response: (a) The 4.68 acre GB Zone 9.65 acre proposal is less than ten percent (10%) of the total
SF-3 zoning established in the vicinity of the subject property "~*~ .... area; .... ,,;~r, ~,- is ....... ,4 ~-,4
(b) The parcel carries two Comp Plan designations C-G on the Wheaton Way frontage
and LDR for the remainder of the parcel to the west.---As4he~ There is a discrepancy in the Comp Plan
designation (C-G) for the Wheaton Way frontage portion of the parcel and the zoning classification (the

fmmage) This discrepancy is not evident in the existing commercial uses found on in the adjacent zones

that have land use patterns that are consistent with the primary uses assigned to the that zones
recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The rezone does not include conditions of approval. Thus, there is nothing proposed in the
rezone request to cause the zoning to revert to the now existing zoning should fi--the intended use
for that zone, as approved,--is not developed-within a reasonable time. Also, there are no
conditions of approval proposed that would cause the zoning to revert back to SF-3 if an
established t-he use were to be discontinued is-c-eased or abandoned for a period of at least one
year, or for other reason be deemed inappropriate subsequent to at the time of approval. It
should be noted that the Ci_ty does not set conditions of rezone approval unless it is in the context
of a rezone approved with a Development Agreement. Thus far, Development Agreements have
only been approved for large project areas that include sites in excess of 200 acres.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from Low
Densi _ty Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G) and Mixed Use (MU)
appears to satisfy all five of the "Approval Criteria" for comprehensive plan amendments.
2. This requested General Business (GB) and Mixed Use (MU) rezone appears to satisfy all
five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter
21.02.920.
3. The location appears to be particularly suitable for commercial and mixed use development
because it is on a public transit line, has direct access to a maior arterial street, and has all
necessary utilities available to support development.
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MADE UPON FURTHER EVALUATION OF PUBLIC
TESTIMONY AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED. ADDITIONAl .I,Y, AT SOME
NEAR FUTURE TIME THIS PROPOSAL WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A SINGULAR NON
PROJECT ACTION ALONG WITH OTHER SIMILAR PROJECTS IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE
CUMULATIVE EFFECTS FOR PURPOSES OF ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT PROCESS AND ASSOCIATED REZONES.

BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0061: Loveless/Brook, Inc.: Wheaton Way/Broad Street
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal involves a single parcel of undeveloped land
containing approximately 9.65 forested acres with one single family residence located at
3915 Wheaton Way. The proposal is located on the west side of Wheaton Way, north
of Arby's on Hanford Avenue, and south of the Broadmoor Village housing project
located on Broad Street in east Bremerton. Specifically, the proposal property is
identified with Tax Assessor's Parcel No.: 022401-1-031-2006. The 1995
Comprehensive Plan Map does depicts the front 200 feet of the Loveless/Brook site
frontage on Wheaton Way as General and Highway Commercial (G-C). The remaining
1,100 feet is shown on the plan map as Low Density Residential (LDR). The entire
parcel is zoned SF-3 (Single Family Residential)
PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and
Official Zoning Map amendments. The result will be to change both maps to re-
designate the properties involved in the amendment request from single family
residential to commercial. Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Map would be
changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) and General & Highway Commercial (C-
G) to Mixed Use (MU). The Official Zoning Map would be amended to change the
zoning from Single Family Residential (SF-3) to Mixed Use (MX).
FINDINGS:
1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan
through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied
citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows
amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered non-
project actions, which do not propose specific development projects. Throughout
the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received
and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the
"cumulative effects". A Public Hearing process is conducted both at the
conducted both at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council
levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a
proposed amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A
proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance.
2. The most specific and therefore most directive policy guidance for land uses
along the Wheaton Way corridor is found in specific plan section E-3 of Chapter
11 of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Area Description of this section states that, "For the most part, land use
patterns are well defined and not expected to change significantly. The only
exception may be the school district property northeast of the Wheaton /
Sheridan intersection which may be better located and of greater value for non-
school purposes."
4. The map on Land Use - page 54 generally defines the specific plan area as all
land within % mile of Wheaton Way, a distance considered to be the maximum
functional walking distance from residences to retail good and services. The
proposal falls within the area included in the specific plan.
5. Land Use pages 54-5 of the of Comprehensive Plan cite traffic efficiency,
availability of safe and frequent pedestrian crossings, needed physical changes
to make the location viable for business, and the need for increased residential
density within the Corridor.
6. Direction on new development within the corridor is presented in E. 3., C.
Recommendations, policies 2. a. - h. The only policy direction for expanding
commercial land use within the corridor is found in 2.e.: "The City shall consider
amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a bonus system for mixed-
use development.., that will encourage increased densities and commercial/
office intensities along the Corridor and maximize land use efficiency."
7. The mixed use component is currently implemented by the MX zone that allows a
wider range and intensity of non-residential uses than expected in typical mixed
use zone.
8. The only other specific land use direction provided in C. Recommendations is
policy 2.f.: "For transportation planning purposes, priority shall be give to Plan
Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density within one-
fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor."
9. In public testimony on the proposed expansion of general commercial within the
corridor, comment was made about the city's lack of growth since the 1995 Plan
was adopted and the availability of underutilized and vacant commercial land
within the corridor.
10. The immediate land use environment to the northwest, west and south of the
proposal is planned for Iow-density residential development and is currently
occupied by residential uses.
11. The proposed amendment continues the existing abrupt interface between
intensive commercial and lower-intensity residential uses in this development
area.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Within the Wheaton Way Corridor, the Comprehensive Plan does not include
specific policy direction that supports the expansion of general commercial uses.
2. The commercial component of the proposed amendment poses to increase site-
generated traffic on local access residential streets and create other operation
impacts on the surrounding Iow-density residential neighborhood.
3. The proposed amendment's 400-foot westerly expansion of the GC plan
designation is not consistent with the policy direction of the Comprehensive Plan
within the Wheaton Way corridor.
4. The MX zone as currently defined, does not meet the intentions of the
Comprehensive Plan and currently allow for uses that would negatively impact
adjoining neighborhoods."
5. There is a need to identify appropriate areas for new commercial and industrial
land, but not at the expense of a friendly pedestrian and urban living area. Until
those things are resolved in a planning process, commercial uses should not add
to the traffic burden on the side streets and the dissolution of the residential area
that butts up against the commercial frontages along the corridor.
6. When the City undertakes its mandated update of the Comprehensive Plan
review and amendment for the area as a whole, that is the time to consider the
broader picture of commercial plans and urban living designs that include not
only the commercial, but the professional office, general business, and
residential areas.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & REZONE AMENDMENTS
for
Schmidt- Hanford & Wheaton Way (P&BD File #: PL00-0062)
January 14, 2001
,Applicant: Paul & Mary Schmidt.
P.O. Box 2298
2405 E. 16th Street
Bremerton WA 98310
[360] 373-5607
Location: This proposal involves four sma11 (4) parcels of land, each containing approximately
6,200 square feet for a total of approximately one-half of an acre. The two easterly
parcels, with one parcel fronting on Hanford Avenue, are undeveloped and the two
westerly parcels, with one fronting on Hartford Avenue are developed with 2-story
residential structures, located at 1032 and 1034 Hanford Avenue. The proposal is
located in East Bremerton on the north side of HanIbrd Avenue and immediately west ot;
and adjacent to A2'by's, on Wheaton Way and Kitty comer from Washington Mutual
Bank.
Description: Specifically, the proposal parcels are identified with Tax parcel No's: 0224-011-055-
2007, 0224-011-056-2006, 0224-011-044-2001, and 0224-011-054-2008.
Proposal: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning
Map amendments. The proposed end result will be to change both maps to designate the
property specified in the amendment request from single family residential to
commercial. Specifically:
The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from:
Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and
The Official Zoning Map would be amended from:
Professional Office (PO) to General Business rGB).
FINDINGS
1. Surrounding Land Uses:
A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property. This included
the property surrounding the intersection of Hanford Avenue and Wheaton Way. The
surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and commercial development, with the
commercial development oriented and centered along Wheaton Way and at main arterial
intersections.
The general trend over the past several decades for vacant properties having frontage on and or in
close proximity to Wheaton Way has been toward mixed use commercial development. The
1
comprehensive zoning scheme for the Wheaton Way corridor supports and encourages that
mixed use trend for all but developed residential neighborhoods.
Relation to
Subject Current Zoning Comprehensive Plan
Property Designation
North Single-Family Residential (SF-3) Low-Density Residential (LDR)
South Single Family Residential (SF-3) Low Density Residential (LDR)
East General Business (GB) General & Highway Commercial
(C-G)
West Single Family Residential SF-3 Low Density Residential (LDR)
2. Proposal:
The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map
amendments. The end result wilt be to change both maps to designate the properties involved in
the amendment request from single family residential to commercial. Specifically, the
Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General &
Highway Commercial (C-G). The official Zoning Map would be amended to change the zoning
from Professional Office (PO) to General Business (GB).
3. SEPA Determination:
The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan and Optimum Land
Use Map through city and public initiated amendment applications which will be applied city
wide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to
Comprehensive Plans only once a year ~vith few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
and Rezone application requests are considered non proiect actions which do not propose
specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Plan amendments are
received (often accompanied by related rezones to maintain consistency between the City's Plan
and Zoning maps) and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the
"cumulative effects". Those amendments and rezones recommended for approval as a result of
the Public Hearing process conducted by the Bremerton Planning Commission are adopted by
City, Council Ordinance. There is no proposal for use and development of the property at this
time. Further development of approved property specific amendments and rezones that are not
categorically exempt pursuant to WAC Chapter 197-11-800, which will require issuance of a
City license or permit, will be subject to future review under SEPA
A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this non proiect action in accordance with
WAC 197-11 on January 16, 2001.
4. Comprehensive Plan Criteria:
Element K of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Implementation, Consistency and
Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the "Criteria for Approval,"
which must be satisfied before Plan Amendments can be approved. The procedures followed for
consideration of this proposed amendment are those outlined in the Growth Management Act
RCW 36.70A.130
2
5. Ai)l)roval Criteria:
All proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan must meet alt five criteria listed. This
proposal meets criteria as follows:
(1) Consistent with GMA and regulations:
Response: This proposal does not conflict with any of the GMA or City planning goals and appears
To be consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic
development, etc.
(2) No significant adverse effects:
Response: There are no steep slopes nor xvetlands to be found on the properD'. Older, larger lot
residential development is located directly to the xvest along both sides of Hanford Avenue. Future
development proposals may require additional traffic analysis to assess/mitigate traffic impacts
associated with intensity of that future development proposal. A center turn lane exists on Wheaton Way
that will help facilitate turning movements with minimum impedance of traffic floxvs.
(3) Can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation:
Response: The site has been served with all services, facilities, and utilities for several decades and is iin
close proximity to a major arterial. No significant conflict is anticipated here.
(4) Will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan:
Response: Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial
development, and attracting new businesses to the City are local policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is consistent xvith those polices and objectives.
(5) Impacts beyond the City limits:
Response: This proposal area is within the City of Bremerton. No impact is anticipated beyond the
City's limits.
6. Comprehensive Plan:
The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies a Wheaton Way Corridor "key area", as mentioned in
the EAST BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and improvement plans.
Certain statements made in both sections include references to mixed use development such as:
EAST BREMERTON PLAN:
D. Commercial Lands: "The Wheaton Way Corridor is a long strip of intense auto-oriented commercial
activity. This is a very successful and valuable commercial strip. However, commercial signs, lights
noise, and heavy traffic dominate and the result is an environment that is often hostile to the pedesrian or
bicyclist and generally unattractive to the passer-by.
E. Industrial lands: "the City will encourage small businesses that assemble products or conduct on~
premise sales of manufactured goods in a mixed-use environment as well as small home base operations
E-3: WHEATON WAY CORRIDOR:
C. Recommendations:
2. In addition to the basic functions, and absent specific design guidelines, the City should
ensure that the following policies are considered during the permitting process for all
future expansion and new development along the corridor:
a. Developments shall provide interconnecting pedestrian walkways, to the greatest
extent possible, to encourage walking.
d. New curb cuts and driveways shall be discouraged. Frontage roads or common
access points serving several adjacent properties are preferred.
e. The City shall consider amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a
bonus system for mixed-use development, possibly based on a point system, that
will encourage increased densities and commercial/office intensities along the
Corridor and maximize land use efficiency.
f. For transportation planning purposes, priority shall be given to Plan
Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density within one-
fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor.
7. Additional Discussion:
The proposed amendment presents several issues for consideration:
Land Use: The conversion of properties within the area of consideration that l?ont on or located in close
proximity to Wheaton Way appears appropriate. Wheaton Way is a major arterial, located in a larger
corridor area, carrying between 32,000 (at Riddell Road) to 33,000 (at Sylvan Way) average daily trips.
This amount of traffic is considered to be of a sufficient level to create commercial development
opportunities. Staff recognizes that certain commercial land uses could also create noise and possibly
other impacts on the nearby residences. But through appropriate site planning and design, these impacts
could be minimized.
As the site affected by this proposed amendment is located adjacent to residential neighborhoods, it will
be incumbent upon the eventual developer(s) to design a use proposal that would allow mixed use
development while at the same time "Promotes safe, attractive, livable neighborhoods that will attract
homeowners." The City has in it's Site Plan Review process the ability to implement appropriate land
use controls to minimize off-site impacts. Those controls include, but are not limited to the set aside of
perimeter buffers, minimizing light and exposure on adjacent properties, location of parking and loading
facilities so as to minimize conflicts with adjacent neighbors, and implementation of storm water control
mechanisms that restrict off-site flow rates.
Traffic and Circulation: The intersection of Hartford Avenue and Wheaton Way is signalized. The
determination of appropriate measures for traffic floxvs will be a consideration at the time there is a
specific proposal for the site. Given the spacing between the existing signalized intersections at Hollis
and Sylvan Way, a signal located in the vicinity of this property could be a valid consideration.
Services and Facilities: Water and sanitary sewer is available to the site. Water lines can be found on
Wheaton Way, and Hartford. Predictably, there would be some system upgrades required at the time of
development. Such system requirements are best addressed at the time of a development proposal.
Storm water controls will be required at the time of development. On-site detention may be required
before storm water is discharged into the City's storm sewer collection system.
8. Rezone / Ordinance & Official Map Amendments
The procedures to be followed for Zoning Ordinance or Official Zoning Map changes are those
found in Section 21.02.920 "REZONE" of the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC)and Section
21.02,090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" and Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES"
of the BMC:
The City Council may approve a change in zoning classification of properly within the City
limits by passage of an ordinance, following a public hearing, provided the new zone is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and adopted approval criteria. Approval of a
Rezone results in a change to the Official Zoning Map.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.920(d) Criteria for Approval: A Rezone may be
approved if all of the following can be answered "YES":
(1) Is the proposed Rezone consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? (See Section
21.02.090 "Plan/Zoning Consistency" of this code.)
Response: The proposed rezone is not consistent with the existing Low Density Residential (LDR)
plan classification for the Schmidt property. However, the concurrent action to amend the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan Map proposes a designation of General & Highway Commercial (C-G) uses for this
property. The proposed General Business (GB) Zone classification is an implementing zone within the
Comprehensive Plan designation and thus if approved, will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
amendment proposal.
(2) Is the Rezone justified for one or more of the following reasons?
It is in the public interest to approve the Rezone to accommodate needed changes ~.vithin
the immediate viciniO: or neighborhood.
It will correct a zone classification or bounda~n; that was inappropriate when
established.
[t is a planned step in a phasing process tO gradually bring zoning into consistency with
the 20-year Comprehensive Plan when appropriate
It will place or move an overlay zoning designation ~vitho~tt affecting the underlying
.~one.
Response: The first two reasons forjustification of the Rezone See the discussion response for the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment approval - particularly the Land Use discussion.
The last two reasons for justification do not apply to this Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment.
Given the traffic conditions on Wheaton Way, the presence of nearby and adjacent commercial zoning on
the north, south and east of the site, it is reasonable to address this area more specifically than perhaps
was done in 1995 when the City adopted it's Groxvth Management Act compliant Comprehensive Plan.
The specific analysis for the Comprehensive Plan amendment is indicative of a need for a change in the
plan for this area and consequently a change in the zoning. There was a significant amount of traffic on
Wheaton Way when the plan was adopted in 1995, however there were some vacancies in the available
commercial land that is not the case in 2000-2001.
Certainly, there would be an argument to be made, that in 1995 the subject property should have been
included in the commercial land use designations at that time. The development progression in the
intervening years since t995 indicates there is a need for more commercial zoning in this area of the
City.. Thus, the Schmidt -Hanford Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment will result
in a more appropriate zoning of the property then perhaps was true in 1995.
(3) Is there a public need for the proposed Rezone that will clearly benefit the local
neighborhood and/or the community of Bremerton?
Response: There is no set standard which says a community or a neighborhood needs a certain
amount of commercial land. Absent a standard, a City like Bremer~on must evaluate trends to determine
what seems to be an appropriate amount of commercial area. Two other factors must also be considered
- the "competitive market place" and the location for the proposed zoning. Many communities, and
Bremerton is no exception, rely on healthy businesses, be they retail, service or manufacturing based to
support the services provided by the government. One way to promote a vigorous economy is to provide
ample land for commercial and industrial use in the proper locations. Streets and highways with heavy
traffic volumes are particularly a~ractive to businesses that depend on high numbers of people passing by
to sell their goods and services. Businesses that might locate in the corridor along Wheaton Way will
come there if they can find appropriate sites at a competitive price. If there is a limited amount of
aYailable land. the price may escalate to a point potential site users will go elsewhere to build their stores.
As the Wheaton Way corridor has been described as extending at least one-quarter mile on either side of
the centerline, the assumption can be made that the Wheaton Way corridor can accommodate additional
commercial uses.
(4) Are all essential public facilities and services available and adequate, or can be
made available, to serve the types and levels of development permitted in the
requested zone?
Response: All of the infi-astructure required to support development of this property, exists in the
area including a main trunkline storm sewer. However, it is expected that a potential user of this rezone
area would implement additional storm water run-off control measures as part of any development
proposal. Also, if there are any deficiencies in the existing infrastructure, whether for roads, water,
sewer or storm sewer, the eventual site user will have to pay for or participate in the expenses required to
upgrade the utility or road service systems.
(5) Will the area being proposed for rezoning become part of a larger zoning district or
form a new district which will not be considered an isolated "spot zone?"
Response: The Schmidt -Hanford & Wheaton Way Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map
amendment would be an extension of the existing plan designation and commercial zoning that abuts the
site on the eastern boundary. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning district.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" states:
Regulations used to implement the Comprehensive Plan, including zoning, must be consistent with the
Plan. Figure 090, PRIMARY ZONE CONSISTENCY depicts the relationships between each Plan
designation and the primary zones.
Response: The current Comprehensive Plan designation of the parcel, LDR (Low-density
Residential) does not include the_proposed General Business (GB) zone as a primary zone.
Consequently: the GB zone classification request would be considered as a secondary or accessory
zone.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES" reads: In unique cases,
rezone requests for zones not listed in Figure 090 as "primary" may be approved for limited application.
These secondary or accessory zones will also be considered consistent ~vith the Comprehensive Plan
and may be approved, but only when they meet the City's standard Rezone criteria #3,4, and 5, and each
of the following additional criteria:
(a) The zone shall consist of no more than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Plan
designation in which it is proposed: and
(b) The zone is necessary to allow a use or development that is accessory to or directly
supportive of a planned or existing use in the adjacent primary zone; and
(c) The rezone includes conditions of approval to cause the zoning to revert if the intended use
for that zone, as approved, is not developed within a reasonable time, if the use is ceased or
abandoned for a period of at least one year, or for other reason deemed appropriate at the
time of approval.
Response: (a) This one-half acre proposal is substantially less than ten percent (10%) of the SF~3
total zone area in which it is proposed and, without the math, will probably approach less than one
percent (1%) of the GB zone which is adjacent.
(b)Any future development proposal ~vould be required to be an accessory use or directly
supportive of a planned or existing use in the adjacent primary zone. The adjacent primary zone is
designated General Business (GB) which allows a broad range of mixed land uses.
(c) The rezone does not include conditions of approval to cause the zoning to revert if
tlqe intended use for that zone, as approved, is not developed within a reasonable time, if the use is ceased
or abandoned for a r)eriod of at least one year, or for other reason deemed appropriate at the time of
approval.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MADE UPON FURTHER EVALUATION
OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY, .AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVDED. ADDITIONALLY, AT
SOME NEAR FUTURE TIME THIS PROPOSAL WILL BE CONSDERED AS A SINGULAR NON
PROJECT ACTION ALONG WITH OTHER SIMILAR PROJECTS IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE
CUMULATIVE EFFECTS FOR PURPOSES OF ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT PROCESS AND ASSOCIATED REZONES.

Date issued: January 16, 2001 0224-011-044-2001, and 0224-011-054-2008.
ACTION: COMREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AND OFFICIAL ZONING MAP ANIENI)MENTS
PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is tbr concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning
Map amendments. The proposed end result will be to change both maps to designate the
properties involved in the amendment request from Iow density single family residential
to commercial. Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed from Low
Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and Official
Zoning Map Change from Professional Office (PO) to General Business (GB).
LOCATION: This proposal involves four small (4) parcels of land (two undeveloped parcels and two
parcels with 2-story residential structures) located at 1032 and 1034 Hanford Avenue
The proposal is located on the north side of Hartford Avenue and immediately west of,
and adjacent to Arby's, on Wheaton Way.
PROPONENT: Paul & Mary Schmidt.
P.O. Box 2298
Bremerton WA 98310
The Responsible Official of the City of Bremerton hereby makes the following Findings and Conclusions
based upon a review of the environmental checklist and attachments, other information on file with the
City of Bremerton, and the policies, plans, and regulations designated by the City of Bremerton as a basis
for the exercise of substantive authority under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
pursuant to RCW 43.21 C.060.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposal is for concurrent amendment of the Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning
Map. The proposed end result will be to change both maps to designate the property involved in
the amendment request from low density single family residential to commercial. Specifically,
the Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to
General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and Official Zoning Map Change from Professional
Office (PO) to General Business (GB).
2. This proposal involves four small (4) parcels of land, each containing approximately 6,200
square feet for a total of approximately one-half of an acre. The two easterly parcels, with one
parcel fronting on Hanford Avenue, are undeveloped and the two westerly parcels, with one
fronting on Hanford Avenue are developed with 2-story residential structures, located at 1032
and 1034 Hanford Avenue. The proposal is located on the north side of Hanford Avenue and
immediately west of, and adjacent to Arb?s, on Wheaton Way.
3. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan and Optimum Land
Use Map through city and public initiated amendment applications which will be applied city
wide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to
Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
and Rezone application requests are considered non project actions which do not propose
specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Plan amendments are
received (often accompanied by related rezones to maintain consistency between the City's Plan
and Zoning maps) and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the
"cumulative effects". Those amendments and rezones recommended for approval as a result of
the Public Hearing process conducted by the Bremerton Planning Commission are adopted by
City Council Ordinance. Further development of approved property specific amendments and
rezones that are not categorically exempt pursuant to WAC Chapter 197-11-800, which will
require issuance of a City license or permit, will be subject to future review under SEPA.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0062: Schmidt: HanfordNVheaton Way
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal involves four small (4) parcels of land,
each containing approximately 6,200 square feet for a total of approximately one-half
of an acre. The two easterly parcels, with one parcel fronting on Hanford Avenue,
are undeveloped and the two westerly parcels, with one fronting on Hanford Avenue
are developed with 2-story residential structures, located at 1032 and 1034 Hanford
Avenue. The proposal is located on the north side of Hanford Avenue and
immediately west of, and adjacent to Arby's, on Wheaton Way in East Bremerton.
PROPOSAL: Specifically the proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's:
0224-011-055-2007, 0224-011-056-2006, 0224-011-044-2001, and 0224-011-054-
2008.The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official
Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to re-
designate the property specified in the amendment request from single-family
residential to commercial. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan Map would be
amended from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial
(C-G), and the Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Professional Office (PO)
to General Business (GB).
FINDINGS:
1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive
Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will
be, applied citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management
Act allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few
exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are
considered non-project actions, which do not propose specific development
projects. Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text
amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for
processing in order to assess the "cumulative effects". A Public Hearing
process is conducted both at the conducted both at the Bremerton
Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The Planning
Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed
amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A
proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance.
2. The most specific and therefore most directive policy guidance for land
uses along the Wheaton Way corridor is found in specific plan section E-3
of Chapter 11 of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Area Description of this section states that, "For the most part, land
use patterns are well defined and not expected to change significantly. The
only exception may be the school district property northeast of the
Wheaton / Sheridan intersection which may be better located and of
greater value for non-school purposes.'
4. The map on Land Use - page 54 generally defines the specific plan area
as all land within ¼ mile of Wheaton Way, a distance considered to be the
maximum functional walking distance from residences to retail good and
services. The proposal falls within the area included in the specific plan.
5. Direction on new development within the corridor is presented in E. 3., C.
Recommendations, policies 2. a. - h. The only policy direction for
expanding commercial land use within the corridor is found in 2.e.: "The
City shall consider amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a
bonus system for mixed-use development.., that will encourage
increased densities and commercial / office intensities along the Corridor
and maximize land use efficiency."
6. The only other specific land use direction provided in C. Recommendations
is policy 2.f.: "For transportation planning purposes, priority shall be give to
Plan Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density
within one-fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor."
7. In public testimony on the proposed expansion of general commercial
within the corridor, comment was made about the city's lack of growth
since the 1995 Plan was adopted and the availability of underutilized and
vacant commercial land within the corridor.
8. The immediate land use environment to the north, west and south of the
proposal is planned for Iow-density residential development. The adjacent
areas to the west and south are residentially occupied, and the 10-acre
parcel to the north is mostly undeveloped.
9. The proposed amendment continues the existing abrupt interface between
intensive commercial and lower-intensity residential uses in this area.
10. Specific policies on page 30 indicate that further highway commercial use
would create an environment that is hostile to bicycle or pedestrian use.
11. Page 54, E.3. Wheaton Way Corridor, C. Recommendations, states the
policy intent to provide for visible and easily accessible sites for
businesses. With Washington Mutual providing a visible barrier coming
from the east and Arby's providing the other visibility barrier, the subject
property would be nearly invisible to those who were not aware of what
was there.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Within the Wheaton Way corridor, the Comprehensive Plan does not
include specific policy direction that supports the expansion of general
commercial uses.
2. The proposed amendment poses to increase site-generated traffic on local
access residential streets and create other operation impacts on the
surrounding Iow-density residential neighborhood.
3. The proposed amendment is not consistent with the policy direction of the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. There is a need to identify appropriate areas new commercial and
industrial land, but not at the expense of a friendly pedestrian and urban
living area. Until those things are resolved in a planning process,
commercial uses should not add to the traffic burden on the side streets
and the dissolution of the residential area that butts up against the
commercial frontages along the corridor.
5. When the City undertakes its mandated update of the Comprehensive Plan
review and amendment for the area as a whole, that is the time to consider
the broader picture of commercial plans and urban living designs that
include not only the commercial, but the professional office, general
business, and residential areas.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & REZONE AMENDMENTS
for
Setterlund (P&BD File #: PL01-0001)
January 25, 2001
Applicant: Larry D. & Judy A. Setterlund
2612 NE Passage View Lane
Poulsbo, Wash. 98370
Location: This proposal affects a single parcel of undeveloped land containing approximately 1/3~
acre located at 1120 Pearl Street, Bremerton, WA. The proposal is located on the north
side of Pearl Street, 5 parcels west of Wheaton Way and opposite the Pearl Street access
to the Wheaton Mall development now containing a mix of retail/commercial businesses
including the Value Village and the Asian Buffet. Tax Assessor Parcel No. 3982-000-
005-000l.
Proposal: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning
Map amendments. The proposed end result will be to change both maps to designate the
property specified in the amendment request from single family residential to
commercial. Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed from Low
Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and Official
Zoning Map Change from Residential Low-Density (DR) to General Business (GB).
FINDINGS
1. Surroundinll Land Uses:
A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property. This included
the property surrounding the intersection of Pearl Street and Wheaton Way. The surrounding
area and adjoining property land uses consist of a mixture of residential and commercial
development, with the commercial development oriented and centered along Wheaton Way and
beginning to develop and front on side streets accessed from Wheaton Way.
The general trend over the past several decades for vacant properties on side streets and frontage
on Wheaton Way has been toward mixed use commercial development. The comprehensive
planning and zoning scheme for the Wheaton Way corridor supports and encourages that trend
for all but developed residential neighborhoods.
Relation to
Subject Current Zoning Comprehensive Plan Designation
Property
North Residential, Medium-density (MF) Medium-Density Residential (MDR)
South General Business (GB) General & Highway Commercial (C-G)
East General Business (GB) General & Highway Commercial (C-G)
West Residential, Low-density (SF-3) Residential, Low-density (LDR)
2. Proposal:
The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map
amendments. The end result will be to change both maps to designate the properties involved in
the amendment request from single family residential to commercial. Specifically, the
Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General &
Highway Commercial (C-G), and Official Zoning Map Change from Residential Low-Density
(DR) to General Business (GB).
3. SEPA Determination:
The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan and Optimum Land
Use Map through city and public initiated amendment applications which will be applied city
wide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to
Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
and Rezone application requests are considered non project actions which do not propose
specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Plan amendments are
received (often accompanied by related rezones to maintain consistency between the City's Plan
and Zoning maps) and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the
"cumulative effects". Those amendments and rezones recommended for approval as a result of
the Public Hearing process conducted by the Bremerton Planning Commission are adopted by
City Council Ordinance. There is no proposal for use and development of the property at this
time. Further development of approved property specific amendments and rezones that are not
categorically exempt pursuant to WAC Chapter 197-11-800, which will require issuance of a
City license or permit, will be subject to future review under SEPA
A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this non project action in accordance with
WAC 197-11 on January 23,2001.
4. Comprehensive Plan Criteria:
Element K of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Implementation, Consistency and
Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the "Criteria for Approval,"
which must be satisfied before Plan Amendments can be approved. The procedures followed for
consideration of this proposed amendment are those outlined in the Growth Management Act
RCW 36.70A. 130
5. Approval Criteria:
All proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan must meet all five criteria listed. This
proposal meets criteria as follows:
(1) Consistent with GMA and regulations:
Response: This proposal does not conflict with any of the GMA or City planning goals and is
especially consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic
development, etc.
2
(2) No significant adverse effects:
Response: The undeveloped property is essentially fiat. As the parcel has been cleared at some
point in past time no significant vegetation is present Whereas there is residential development along a
portion of the north, and west property lines, perimeter buffers can be set aside at the time of future
development, which will mitigate the off-site impacts of potential commercial development.
(3) Can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation:
Response: All normal City provided services, facilities, and utilities are immediately available to the site.
No significant conflict is anticipated here.
(4) Will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan:
Response: Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial
development, and attracting new businesses to the City are local policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan. This proposal appears to be consistent with those polices and objectives.
(5) Impacts beyond the City limits:
..Response: This proposal area is within the City of Bremerton. The site at some future point will
probably be developed to accommodate new commercial development that might otherwise locate
outside the City. It is not expected that anticipated development on this parcel will adversely impact
areas beyond the City limits.
6. Comprehensive Plan:
The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies a Wheaton Way Corridor "key area" as mentioned in
the EAST BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and improvement plans.
Certain statements, made in both sections include references to mixed use development, such as:
EAST BREMERTON PLAN:
D. Commercial Lands: "The Wheaton Way Corridor (that area within one-quarter mile of Wheaton
Way), is a long strip of intense auto-oriented commercial activity. This is a very successful and valuable
commercial strip. However, commercial signs, lights noise, and heavy traffic dominate and the result is
an environment that is often hostile to the pedestrian or bicyclist and generally unattractive to the passer-
by.
E. Industrial lands: "the City will encourage small businesses that assemble products or conduct on-
premise sales of manufactured goods in a mixed-use environment as well as small home base operations
E-3: WHEATON WAY CORRIDOR:
C. Recommendations:
2. In addition to the basic functions, and absent specific design guidelines, the City should
ensure that the following policies are considered during the permitting process for all
future expansion and new development along the corridor:
a. Developments shall provide interconnecting pedestrian walkways, to the greatest
extent possible, to encourage walking.
d. New curb cuts and driveways shall be discouraged. Frontage roads or common
access points serving several adjacent properties are preferred.
3
e. The City shall consider amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a
bonus system for mixed-use development, possibly based on a point system, that
will encourage increased densities and commercial/office intensities along the
Corridor and maximize land use efficiency.
f. For transportation planning purposes, priority shall be given to Plan
Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density within one-
fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor.
7. Additional Discussion:
The proposed amendment presents several issues for consideration:
Land Use: The conversion of properties xvithin the area of influence of the Wheaton Way corridor
appears appropriate. Wheaton Way is a major arterial carrying between 32,000 (at Riddell Road) to
33,000 (at Sylvan Way) average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered to be of a sufficient
level to create mixed use commercial development opportunities. This Report recognizes that certain
commercial land uses could also create noise and possibly other impacts on the nearby residences. But
through appropriate site planning and design, these impacts could be minimized.
Given the fact the site affected by this proposed amendment abuts residential neighborhoods, it will be
incumbent on the eventual developer(s) to design a use proposal that allows commercial development
while at the same time "Promotes safe, attractive, livable neighborhoods that will attract homeowners."
The City has in it's Site Plan Review process the ability to implement appropriate land use controls to
minimize off-site impacts. Those controls include, but are not limited to the set aside of perimeter
buffers, minimizing light and exposure on adjacent properties, location of parking and loading facilities
so as to minimize conflicts with adjacent neighbors, and implementation of storm water control
mechanisms that restrict off-site flow rates.
Traffic and Circulation: The intersection of Pearl Street and Wheaton Way is not signalized. Traffic
generated by development of 1/3rd acre site will probably be minimal. Mitigation for traffic impacts will
be a consideration at the time there is a specific proposal for the site.
Services and Facilities: Water and sanitary sewer is available to the site. Predictably, and depending
upon the magnitude of development there could possibly be some system upgrades required at the time of
development. Such system requirements are best addressed at the time of a development proposal.
Storm water controls will be required at the time of development.
8. Rezone / Ordinance & Official Map Amendments
The procedures to be followed for Zoning Ordinance or Official Zoning Map changes are those
found in Section 21.02.920 "REZONE" of the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC)and Section
21.02.090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" and Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES"
of the BMC:
The City Council may approve a change in zoning classification of property within the City
limits by passage of an ordinance, following a public hearing, provided the new zone is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and adopted approval criteria. Approval of a
Rezone results in a change to the Official Zoning Map.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.920(d) Criteria for Approval: A Rezone may be
approved if all of the following can be answered "YES":
4
(1) Is the proposed Rezone consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? (See Section
21.02.090 "Plan/Zoning Consistency" of this code.)
Response: The proposed rezone is not consistent with the existing Low Density Residential (LDR)
plan classification for the Setterlund property. However, the concurrent action to amend the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan Map proposes a change in the Plan to allow General & Highway Commercial (C-G)
uses for this property. The proposed General Business (GB) Zone is an implementing zone and thus, will
be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan amendment proposal.
(2) Is the Rezone justified for one or more of the following reasons?
It is in the public interest to approve the Rezone to accommodate needed changes within
the immediate vicinity or neighborhood.
It wil/ correct a zone classification or bounda~? that was inappropriate when
established.
It is a planned step in a phasing process to gradually bring zoning into consistency with
the 20-year Comprehensive Plan when appropriate
It will place or move an overlay zoning designation without affecting the underlying
zone.
Response: With the presence o£ commercial zoning on the east and south of the site, and the sites
proximity to the commercial corridor of Wheaton Way, it is reasonable to address these areas within the
!4 mile wide corridor centered on Wheaton Way, more specifically than perhaps what occurred in t995
when the City adopted it's Growth Management Act compliant Comprehensive Plan.
Certainly, there would be an argument to be made, that in 1995 the subject property should have been
included in the commercial land use designations at that time as the Wheaton Way Corridor sub-area plan
addressed mixed commercial use specifically. The development progression in the intervening years
since 1995 indicates that a pattern of mixed use has sporadically developed and amendments that support
the recommendations o£ Wheaton Way Plan are probably more appropriate zoning of the property at this
time then perhaps was true in 1995.
(3) Is there a public need for the proposed Rezone that will clearly benefit the local
neighborhood and/or the community of Bremerton?
Response: There is no set standard which says a community or a neighborhood needs a certain
amount of commercial land. Absent a standard, a City like Bremerton must evaluate trends to determine
what seems to be an appropriate amount of commercial area. Two other £actors must also be considered
- the "competitive market place" and the location (or the proposed zoning. Many communities, and
Bremerton is no exception, rely on healthy businesses, be they retail, service or manufacturing based to
support the services provided by the government. One way to promote a vigorous economy is to provide
ample land for commercial and industrial use in the proper locations. Streets and highways with heavy
traffic volumes are particularly attractive to businesses that depend on high numbers o£ people passing by
to sell their goods and services. Businesses that might locate in the corridor along Wheaton Way will
come there if they can find appropriate sites at a competitive price. If there is a limited amount of
available land, the price may escalate to a point potential site users will go elsewhere to build their stores.
As it appears that the Wheaton Way corridor can accommodate additional commercial uses, the next
question to be answered is the appropriateness of the area for General Business Zoning. Or is the
question that needs to be answered, should the mixed use zoning Recommendations contained in the
Wheaton Way Corridor sub-area plan continue to be implemented within the 1/2 mile corridor.
(4) Are all essential public facilities and services available and adequate, or can be
made available, to serve the types and levels of development permitted in the
requested zone?
Response: All of the infrastructure required to support development of this property exists in the
area including storm sewers. If there are any deficiencies in the existing infrastructure, whether for
roads, water, sewer or storm sewer, the eventual site user will be required to pay for or participate in the
expenses required to upgrade the utility or road service systems.
(5) Will the area being proposed for rezoning become part of a larger zoning district or
form a new district which will not be considered an isolated "spot zone?"
Response: The Setterlund Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment would extend
an adjacent land use pattern, which is an extension of the existing plan and commercial zoning that abuts
the site on the east side of Wheaton Way. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning
district.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.090 "PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY" states:
Regulations used to implement the Comprehensive Plan, including zoning, must be consistent with the
Plan. Figure 090, PRIMARY ZONE CONSISTENCY depicts the relationships between each Plan
designation and the primary zones.
Response: The current Comprehensive Plan designation of the parcel, LDR (Low-density
Residential) does not include the_proposed General Business (GB) zone as a primary zone.
Consequently: the GB zone classification request would be considered as a secondary or accessory
zone.
The Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.100 "SECONDARY ZONES" reads: In unique cases,
rezone requests for zones not listed in Figure 090 as "primary" may be approved for limited application.
These secondary or accessory zones will also be considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and may be approved, but only when they meet the City's. standard Rezone criteria #3,4, and 5, and each
of the following additional criteria:
(a) The zone shall consist of no more than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Plan
designation in which it is proposed; and
(b) The zone is necessary to allow a use or development that is accessory to or directly
supportive of a planned or existing use in the adjacent primary zone; and
(c) The rezone includes conditions of approval to cause the zoning to revert if the intended use
for that zone, as approved, is not developed within a reasonable time, if the use is ceased or
abandoned for a period of at least one year, or for other reason deemed appropriate at the
time of approval.
Response: (a) The 1/3rd acre proposal is considerably less than ten percent (10%) of the SF-3 total
zone area in which it is proposed and, without the math, could probably approach considerably less than
ten percent (10%) of the GB zone which is adjacent.
(b) The parcel carries an LDR (low density residential) designation in the Comp Plan and
is immediately adjacent to the Comp Plan designations C-G located on the Wheaton Way frontage
Existing commercial uses in the adjacent zones are consistent with the primary uses assigned to that zone
by the Comp Plan, consequently the proposal request for the a commercial zone classification is
consistent with the existing use in the adjacent primary C-G zones.
(c) The rezone does not include conditions of approval to cause the zoning to revert if
the intended use for that zone, as approved, is not developed within a reasonable time, if the use is ceased
or abandoned for a period of at least one year, or for other reason deemed appropriate at the time of
approval.
RECOMMENDATION::

PL0'!-0001: Setterlund: Pearl StreetNVheaton Way
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects a single parcel of undeveloped land
containing approximately 1/3rd acre located at 1120 Pearl Street, Bremerton, WA. The
proposal is located on the north side of Pearl Street, 5 parcels west of Wheaton Way.
Specifically the proposal property is identified with Tax Assessor Parcel No. 3982-000-

re-designate the property specified in the amendment request from single-family
residential to commercial. Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Map would be changed
from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and the
Official Zoning Map would change from Residential Low-Density (DR) to General
Business (GB).
FINDINGS:
1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan
through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be,
applied citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act
allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few
exceptions. Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are considered non-
project actions, which do not propose specific development projects.
Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments
are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to
assess the "cumulative effects". A Public Hearing process is conducted both
at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The
Planning Commission's recommendatiOn of approval or denial on a proposed
amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal
that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance.
2. The most specific and therefore most directive policy guidance for land uses
along the Wheaton Way corridor is found in specific plan section E-3 of
Chapter 11 of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Area Description of this section states that, "For the most part, land use
patterns are well defined and not expected to change significantly. The only
exception may be the school district property northeast of the Wheaton /
Sheridan intersection which may be better located and of greater value for
non-school purposes."
4. The map on Land Use - page 54 generally defines the specific plan area as
all land within *¼ mile of Wheaton Way, a distance considered to be the
maximum functional walking distance from residences to retail good and
services. The proposal falls within the area included in the specific plan.
5. Direction on new development within the corridor is presented in E. 3., C.
Recommendations, policies 2. a. - h. The only policy direction for expanding
commercial land use within the corridor is found in 2.e.: "The City shall
consider amending its Zoning Ordinance to add incentives or a bonus system
for mixed-use development.., that will encourage increased densities and
commercial / office intensities along the Corridor and maximize land use
efficiency."
6. The only other specific land use direction provided in C. Recommendations is
policy 2.f.: "For transportation planning purposes, priority shaft be give to Plan
Amendments and Rezones that would increase residential density within one-
fourth mile of the Wheaton Way Corridor."
7. In public testimony on the proposed expansion of general commercial within
the corridor, comment was made about the city's lack of growth since the
1995 Plan was adopted and the availability of underutilized and vacant
commercial land within the corridor.
8. The immediate land use environment to the north and west of the proposal is
generally planned, as well as currently occupied, for Iow and medium-density
residential development, and the proposed amendment continues the existing
abrupt interface between intensive commercial and lower-intensity residential
uses.
9. A change to the Comprehensive Plan for this property would create a
detrimental traffic environment that would be far more than simply hostile to
the pedestrian bicycle traffic as listed in. page 30, section E. Commercial
Lands. The result would be an environment that would be untenable from the
residents in the vicinity there and persons on foot or bicycle trying to go past
the site.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Within the Wheaton Way corridor, the Comprehensive Plan does not include
specific policy direction that supports the expansion of general commercial
uses.
2. The proposed amendment poses to increase site-generated traffic on local
access residential streets and create other operation impacts on the
surrounding Iow-density residential neighborhood.
3. The proposed amendment is not consistent with the policy direction of the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. There is a need to rectify the conflict between commercial and residential
areas including a look at the whole picture to consider pedestrians and other
transit types of uses to make this a user-friendly place. This proposal adds to
the conflict rather than helping to solve it.
5. In the future, a commercial designation may be appropriate. However, any
such change needs to be taken in the context of a broader set of planning
expectations that first needs to be expressed in more specific planning for the
entire corridor.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

Enclosed are photographs that clearly show there is no need for the
commercial zoning of PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062. Due to the extreme
amount of vacancies in existing commercial properties and land that
is for sale along the Wheaton Way corridor, plus the very poor job
that the City is doing controlling existing commercial properties.
Photographs in section one are from Sheridan Rd. to Riddell Rd.
along Wheaton Way showing over 742.816 SQ. FEET of commercial
property for sale or rent.
Photographs in section two are from Riddell Rd. to Fairgrounds Rd.
along the Wheaton Way corridor showing over 864~ 123 SQ. FEET of
commercial property for sale or rent. Although these are outside the
city boundaries they are in extremely close proximity and with the
continued growth along Wheaton Way should be included in the full
context of this matter.
Photographs in section three were taken from the backs of occupied
commercial property along Wheaton Way. They stand as an example
of the city's lack of overseeing commercial property once it is
developed. We the residential property owners that surround the
purposed rezoning do not want to be faced with any more of the
enclosed examples, especial looking out our back doors.
Photographs in section four clearly show that the City is not
controlling Green Belt regulations or setbacks.
Our county assessor is on record stating. that a commercial project
similar to this WILL DEVALUE THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL
PROPERY.
Why should our elected City Officials force us as homeowners to take
a finan(;jalloss so a commercial developer can profit from it?
Don't add PLOO-0061 , PLOO-0062 and PL01-0001 to the enclosed
examples.

Bremerton City Council
239 - 4th St.
Bremerton, W A 98337
RE: LOVELESS/BROOK AND SCHMIDT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
AND REZONES - PL-OO-0061 AND PL-OO-0062
Dear Chairman Law and Members oftheCouncil:
This office represents the Hanford Area Neighborhood Association. ("HANA"), a group of209
homeowners and voters who live in the vicinity of the proposed "Loveless/Brook" and "Schmidt"
rezones and comprehensive plan amendments. Both properties have requested a comprehensive
plan redesignation from low density residential to general and highway commercial. In addition,
the owners of the Loveless/Brook property have requested a rezone from single family residential
to general business, and the owners of the Schmidt property have requested a rezone from
Professional Office to General Business.
HANA previously submitted a petition containing 209 signatures on it in opposition to both of
these proposals. In addition, HANA has asked this office to prepare a legal analysis of the
proposal. This analysis reveals that both of the proposals are inconsistent with the Growth
Management Act and the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. HANA
therefore respectfully requests that the City Council reject the proposed "Loveless/Brook" and
"Schmidt" amendments.
First, a, description of the properties and the surrounding neighborhoods is in order. The
Loveless/Brook property is 9.65 forested acres. The western boundary abuts unincorporated
Kitsap County and is moderately developed with low density single family residential housing.
The northern boundary is separated from Broad St. by a narrow strip of undeveloped lots. The
southern boundary abuts the Hanford Ave neighborhood, an "established low-density residential
neighborhood", according to page 54 of the Land Use Element of the current Comprehensive
Plan. Only the eastern boundary of the property abuts commercial land uses, which are developed
in low-density mixed-use strip fashion. In other words, the property is bordered by residential
development of 3 of its 4 boundaries. The Schmidt parcels are contiguous to the Loveless/Brook
parcels and also abut Hanford Ave. Because of these characteristics alone, the proposals should
be rejected.
There are other reasons, however, which will be set forth below:
., , r.',
(1) ... a county shall adopt, in consultation with its cities, county-wide planning policies
to establish a review and evaluation program. ... In developing and implementing the
review and evaluation program ... , the ... cities shall consider information from other
appropriate jurisdictions and sources. The purpose of the review and evaluation program
shall be to:
(a) Determine whether a county and its citi'es are achieving urban densities within
urban growth areas by comparing growth and development assumptions, targets,
and objectives contained in the. .. county and city comprehensive plans with actual
growth and development that has occurred in the ... cities; and
(b) IdentifY reasonable measures, other than adjusting urban growth areas, that will
be taken to comply with the requirements of this chapter.
(2) The review and evaluation program shall:
(a) ... provide for annual collection of data on urban and rural land uses,
development, .... and capital facilities ... both for residential and employment-
based activities;
. .. (d) Provide for the amendment of the ... city comprehensive plans as needed to
remedy an inconsistency identified through the evaluation required by this section,
or to bring these policies into compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(3) At a minimum, the evaluation component of the program required by subsection (1)
of this section shall:
(a) Determine whether there is sufficient suitable land to accommodate... the
subsequent population allocations ... between the county and its cities and the
requirements ofB{';.W.J9..J.QAJ1D.;
(b) Determine the ... actual amount of land developed for commercial and
industrial uses within the urban growth area since the adoption of a comprehensive
plan ... ; and
( c) Based on the actual density of development as determined under (b) of this
subsection, review commercial, industrial, and housing needs by type and density
range to determine the amount of land needed for commercial, industrial, and
housing for the remaining portion of the twenty-year planning period used in the
most recently adopted comprehensive plan.
(4) If the evaluation required by subsection (3) of this section demonstrates an
inconsistency between what has occurred since the adoption of the. .. city comprehensive
plans and development regulations and what was envisioned in those policies and plans
and the planning goals and the requirements of this chapter, as the inconsistency relates to
the evaluation factors specified in subsection (3) of this section, the county and its cities
shall adopt and implement measures that are reasonably likely to increase consistency
during the subsequent five-year period ....
In this instance, the "growth and development assumptions" are that Bremerton' s population
would increase by 20,000 during the planning period. The "actual growth and development that
has occurred" is that the population has decreased, not increased. Therefore, the only "measures
that are reasonably likely to increase consistency during the subsequent five-year period" are to
reduce, not increase, the supply of commercial land in the City. Therefore, the Loveless/Brook
and Schmidt requests should be denied, since the 2002 review will point out clearly the need for a
reduction in commercial capacity.
3. THE PROPOSALS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE PREAMBLE OF RCW
36.70A.070 BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAKE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
"INTERNALLY CONSISTENT":
RCW 36.70A070 sets forth the mandatory elements ofa comprehensive plan. The preamble to
this section requires those elements to be internally consistent. The preamble provides in full as
follows:
RCW 36.70A.070
Comprehensive plans -- Mandatory elements.
The comprehensive plan of a county or city that is required or chooses to plan under RCW
36.70A040 shall consist ofa map or maps, and descriptive text covering objectives,
principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensive plan. The plan shall be an
internally consistent document and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use
map. A comprehensive plan shall be adopted and amended with public participation as
provided in RC\V 36.70A140. (emphasis added)
HANA strongly believes that if the Loveless/Brook and Schmidt amendments are adopted, the
Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will become more, not less, internally inconsistent, due to the fact
that the properties abut residential development on three sides, including a neighborhood
characterized as "established" in the 1995 Plan. Specifically, the Loveless/Brook and Schmidt
amendments conflict with the following provisions of the 1995 Plan at a minimum:
· The Vision - Page 4, paragraph F: "Neighborhood quali~y, safety, stability, and
affordability will be given increased consideration in all community improvement
programs."
· . Planning Goals - Goal #1 (D): "Maximize the City's existing in-fill development
potential to ensure the most efficient use of existing utility infrastructure and facilities."
· Planning Goals - Goal #14(A): "Foster identifiable, liveable communities that provide a
variety of residential opportunities, complimented by recreational, shopping and support
services. "
· Land Use - State Goal #4, Supporting Policy No.2: "Protect neighborhoods from
incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other damaging
intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
· Land Use - State Goal #4, Supporting Policy No.4: "Promote preservation,
rehabilitation, and redevelopment activities that ensure a variety of housing types and
costs, and that also preserve the historic, social, and aesthetic qualities ofBremerton
neighborhoods."
. Land Use - State Goal #13 (D)(7): "Bremerton neighborhoods, will improve, become
more stable and provide opportunities for all economic segments of our community."
. Wheaton Way Corridor Plan, Section (C), Objective 4: To anticipate future growth
needs and incorporate them into a land use plan for the district that will minimize the need
for future plan amendments and rezones."
. Wheaton Way Corridor Plan, Section (C), Objective 7: "To establish a balance of
land uses that will complement each other and maintain long term stability."
. Housing Element (The Vision for Bremerton) Section F: "Neighborhood quality,
safety, stability, and affordability will be given increased consideration in all community
involvement programs."
. Housing Element (Housing Goals, Policies and Strategies), fourth bullet point:
"Establish standards for housing development and preservation which will maintain the
character and vitality of existing neighborhoods and the community"
. Housing Element (Housing Condition) Goal: "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock."
Conversely, no comprehensive plan goals or policies call for an increase in commercial capacity in
response to a reduction in population. This being the case, the Loveless/Brook and Schmidt
amendments should be denied because they create inconsistencies in the comprehensive plan.
4. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH RCW 36.70A.070(2)
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ENSURE THE VITALITY AND CHARACTER OF AN
ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD:
RCW 36.70A070(2) requires the housing element ofa comprehensive plan to "ensure the vitality
and character of' an established residential neighborhood above alL The statute provides in full as
follows:
RCW 36.70A.070
Comprehensive plans -- Mandatory elements.
... (2) A housing element ensuring the vitality and character of established residential
neighborhoods that: (a) Includes an inventory and analysis of existing and projected
housing needs; (b) includes a statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory
provisions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including
single-family residences; (c) identifies sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited
to, government-assisted housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured housing,
multifamily housing, and group homes and foster care facilities; and (d) makes adequate
provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community.
(emphasis added)
The Loveless/Brook and Schmidt amendments do anything but ensure the vitality and character of
these neighborhoods. Under the proposal, the properties would be redesignated to General and
Highway Commercial and rezoned to General Business. If this happens, significantly more -
intense land uses will be permitted adjacent to established residential neighborhoods, dramatically
affecting their vitality and character in dozens if not hundreds of ways.
5. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF RCW 36.70A.070(6)(a)(iv)(c):
RCW 36.70A0706)(a)(iv)(c) requires local governments to reassess their land use element in the
event that probable funding for transportation improvements fall short of identified needs. RCW
_ 36.70A0706)(a)(iv)(c) provides in full as follows:
... (C) If probable funding falls short of meeting identified needs, a discussion of how
additional funding will be raised, or how land use assumptions will be reassessed to ensure
that level of service standards will be met; (emphasis added)
To the extent that funding falls short for improvements to the Wheaton Way corridor, this section
requires the land use assumptions in the vicinity to be reassessed. Logically, when reassessing
land uses in a congested corridor, commercial capacity should be reduced, not increased. The
Loveless/Brook and Schmidt amendments are completely inconsistent with this principle.
6. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH RCW 36.70A.ll0(2)
BECAUSE "LOCAL CmCUMSTANCES" REQUIRE THE CAPACITY OF THE
URBAN GROWTH AREA TO BE REDUCED. NOT INCREASED:
RCW 36.70AII0 sets forth the requirement that the urban growth area (which is based on
comprehensive plan capacity) be appropriately sized to accommodate the OFM population and
employment forecasts. The statute provides as follows:
RCW 36.70A.ll0
Comprehensive plans -- Urban growth areas.
(2) Based upon the growth management population projection made for the county by the
office of financial management, the county and each city within the county shall include
.areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the
county or city for the succeeding twenty-year period. Each urban growth area shall permit
urban densities and shall include greenbelt and open space areas. An urban growth area
determination may include a reasonable land market supply factor and shall permit a range
of urban densities and uses. In determining this market factor, cities and counties may
consider local circumstances. Cities and counties have discretion in their comprehensive
plans to make many choices about accommodating growth. (emphasis added)
It is important to note that cities may consider "local circumstances" in the context ofRCW
36.70All0. The local circumstances in this instance are that the population base of the City has
decreased rather than increased, during the planning period. With this in mind, the capacity of the
comprehensive plan should be reduced, and the City should support reducing, not expanding the
capacity of the urban growth area set forth in the Countywide Planning Policies.
7. THE CITY HAS FAILED TO ENSURE "EARLY AND CONTINUOUS PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION" AS REQUIRED BY RCW 36.70A.
RCW 36.70A.140 clearly and unambiguously requires public participation that is "early and
continuous". The statute provides in part as follows:
RCW 36.70A.140
Comprehensive plans -- Ensure public participation.
Each county and city that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall
establish and broadly disseminate to the public a public participation program identifying
procedures providing for early and continuous public participation in the development and
amendment of comprehensive land use plans and development regulations implementing
such plans. The procedures shall provide for broad dissemination of proposals and
alternatives, opportunity for written comments, public meetings after effective notice,
provision for open discussion, communication programs, information services, and
consideration of and response to public comments. . ..". (emphasis added)
Unfortunately, the City has violated this mandate to provide for "early and continuous public
participation in the drafting and adoption of these amendments. On September 15, 2001, HANA
distributed a flyer to its members requesting them to contact the City Council to voice their
concerns. After receiving this flyer, several members ofHANA attempted to call the Council and
were told that they were not taking calls, and to come to the council meeting and testify or send
an e-mail. Unfortunately, several of the residents are confined to wheelchairs and do not have
computers. This being the case, they have been deprived of their statutory right to participate in
the public process, one of the major cornerstones of the GMA.
In summary, the Loveless/Brook and Schmidt amendments are completely inconsistent with the
GMA, the Comprehensive Plan, the development regulations, and the marketplace. For the
reasons set forth above, the amendments should be rejected.

Bremerton City Council September 19, 2001
My Name is Alan Strange
I reside at 813 Hanford Ave. Bremerton Wash
I am the Chairperson for the Hanford Ave Neighborhood Assoc. representing over 209
Bremerton City voters and their families on the issues before you tonight.
We, as a body oppose and request you deny the following applications and all associated
rezone or Comp Plan changes associated with them; they are PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, and
PL01-0001 otherwise known as LovelesslBrooke, Schmidt, and the Setterlund proposals
respectively.
You have heard from Mr. Spence, our legal council, on these issues and a written copy of
that brief has been submitted into the record for your review. I remind you that the
Planning Commission's file on these issues contain records of over 10 months of public
meetings)minutes, public testimony, and books filled with visual evidence of millions of
square feet of vacant commercial property near the applicants' sites some of which have
been waiting for years to be occupied.. All of this evidence sustains the legal and moral
correctness of our position as well as our resolve for voice of the people to be heard and
heeded. Because of the importance of the testimony and evidence contained in those files I
defer you to them rather than spend several hours reading them again into record.
Throughout the long process the Planning Commission exhibited genuine concern for the
many hundreds of residents who would be affected by these changes. They and the
residents in my association became educated and gained a greater insight into what it really
means to do City Planning.
On April 17 2001 the following motion was place in front of the Bremerton Planning
Commission as follows;
Commissioner Dingfield moved that the application (PLOO-0062) of the Schmidt
property be denied to change the Comprehensive Plan Map from low density
residential to general and highway commercial. Specific policies supporting this are
on page 30 indicating that further highway commercial use would create an
environment that is hostile to bicycle or pedestrian use. Commissioner Kennedy
seconded the motion.
The Motion was approved and application denied

On April 17 2001 the following motion was place in front of the Bremerton Planning
Commission as follows;
Called for vote. Motion to deny the amendment by Setterland (PLOO-OOOl) to amend
the Comprehensive Plan Map to CG. Boyd: yes, Berkowitz: yes, Dingfield: yes,
Kosusko: yes, Kennedy: yes, Moshay: yes; Coburn: yes.
The Motion was approved and the application denied.
On May 15 2001 the following motion was place in front of the Bremerton Planning
Commission as follows;
Commissioner Berkowitz moved regarding item PLOO-0061 that based on everything
that has been heard and conflicting understanding of what the plan says, that the
applicant's motion be DENIED. Page 4 - land use of comprehensive plan was cited as
well as statements in the comp plan about traffic efficiency, safe and frequent
availability to pedestrians, physical changes that will need to be implemented in order
to make the location viable for business, and the need for increased residential density.
The motion was seconded by a Commissioner Boyd.
This motion was also approved and the application denied.
I applaud the Planning Commission for their resolve to represent and protect the people by
recommending these applications be denied. I hope I can do the same of you.
Th/5 you for your time.

City Council Members and other City Decision Makers:
I am greatly concerned about the issues facing the residents of
Hanford Ave. and the surrounding areas.
I am requesting that the City Council deny the applications to rezone
The 9.6 wooded acres of PLOQ-061 and PLOO-062.
First of all it would greatly devalue our property. This is very alarming.
Secondly, there is tens of thousands of empty commercial square
footage along the Wheaton Way corridor. There is not a need to create
more.
Thank you for considering this testimony.

Cynthia J. Frederick

I oppose the rezone requested related to PLOO-061 and PLOO-062.
Any level of commercial zoning within these acres would be
inconsistent with the surrounding residential areas. Thank you.

MY WIFE AND I ARE HOME OWNERS @ 704 DOLAN ST. AND ARE OPPOSED
TO THE REZONE APPLICATIONS. WE HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO
ENJOY PLAYING WITH LOTS OF OTHER SMALL CHILDREN IN A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS QUITE AND A GOOD PLACE TO
RAISE CHILDREN. THESE MEASURES WOULD DESTROY THIS ENVIRONMENT!
OUR PROPERTY VALUE COULD DECREASE AS MUCH AS 30%. OVER 40
COMMERCIAL STOREFRONTS ARE VACANT IN THE AREA. WHY CAN~T THERE
BE MORE EFFORT IN USillNG THESE SPACES INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE?
WE REALIZE THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME WIDENING OF ROADWAYS, ETC.,
BUT WE MUST NOT DISTURB THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR US WHO ARE
HOME OWNERS AND HAVE INVESTED ALL WE HAVE INTO OUR HOMES AND

Bremerton City Council
239 4th St.
Bremerton, WA 98337
Members,
It is requested that the following comments contained here-in be made a part of all subsequent hearings, meetings,
and records concerning the rezoning requests contained in PL-O 1-000 1; PL-00-0061 (Schmidt);
PL-00-0062(Love1ass/Brook ).
Upon review of each of the aforementioned requests there is little doubt in my mind that severe negative impact will
be felt by the neighborhoods adjacent to these properties.
A rezoning of these properties appears to me to be in noncompliance with the growth management plan for this area
of Bremerton.
There is a real concern on my part'about the increased traffic on Highway 303 that will result from the potential
implementation of these requests.
In that about a million and a half square feet of unused commercial properties already exists within walking distance
of these requests; it seems to me that the proposals are redundant and not needed. It is clear to me that if the council
does not take steps to make redevelopment of existing properties needed that a further deterioration of the business
strip near the properties in question will occur.
Simple economics show me that viable neighborhoods of middle income people will in the long term pay
consistently better into the tax base than the potential businesses that may be on these properties,
If you act favorably on these requests you will just add to the exodus of middle class families from the Bremerton
Community. Is that the legacy that you want to leave? You now have the opportunity to set a trend for the future,
that the Bremerton City Council acts to keep its neighborhoods healthy and livable.

Attached to this cover letter are 146 letters from voting residents who reside in
neighborhoods who would be adversely affected if the applications listed in the subject
are approved. 143 of the individuals who's signatures are recorded herein were not

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.
Please make this letter part of the official record.

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061 , PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
d~maging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy No.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.
Please make this letter part of the official record.

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PI00-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.
Please make this letter part of the official record.

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I 'urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimelv until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area

SUBJECT: OPPOSITION OF PLOO-0061, PLOO-0062, PL01-0001
I am a concerned resident and I want to go on record that I oppose the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone applications PLOO-0061, PLOO-62, and PL01-
0001. I urge The Bremerton City Council to deny these applications and any Comprehensive
Plan/Rezone actions that would include them.
Many legal reasons have been cited in public meeting which sustain that these
applications should be denied however it is important that the Bremerton City Council is aware
that the residents/voters are involved and we want our individual opinions, reasons and
signatures submitted into the official record.
Some reasons for denial are as follows:
1. This is an established neighborhood recognized in the Bremerton Comp Plan.
Allowing a large commercial development to encroach into this neighborhood violates
Land Use-State Goal #4 Supporting policy NO.2. which states "Protect neighborhoods
from incompatible development, noise, glare, odor, dust, bypass traffic, and other
damaging intrusions that might adversely affect their comfort and livability."
2. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will undergo it's mandatory revision next year.
These commercial rezone applications should be considered untimely until a long range
plan has been established within the revision. Commercial land allocation is based on
population but Bremerton's population has hovered at levels below those in1992 for
several years, 20,000 below it's goal. The staggering number of commercial vacancies
along Wheaton Way establish there is no need for more commercial land until available
housing and population can support it.
3. The Bremerton Comp Plan requires the City to "Preserve and enhance Bremerton's
housing stock". Not destroy it by commercial rezones within established residential
neighborhoods.
4. Extensive market research and County Assessor testimony has established that area
residents' property values will decline if commercial developments are allowed into
residential neighborhoods.
