Re: Planning Commission
PLO 1-0001 - Rezone of Setterlund Pearl Street Property
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is to dispute the rejection of the rezone of the above mentioned property.
We feel we were not allowed due process. Other than the first public meeting on March
20, 2001, we were not notified of any other meetings.
As we understand, our property was lumped with the "Wheaton Way Corridor
properties". We would like to dispute this. We are an established business with
commercial and/or high density residential in three directions around us.
We believ0 this discriminates against us as a small business.

8A - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PARAMETRIX, INC. FOR EVERGREEN
PARK PHASE [! CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION (#AB01-
254): Becky Lorber, Recreation Coordinator [1, pointed out that Evergreen Park Phase
construction is approximately 80% complete. The primary tasks remaining are completion of the
shoreline work around Smith Cove and the tracking; closure of punch list items. As a result of the
resignation of the City Project Manager, crucial engineering support in the areas of construction
management and contract administration are required in order to complete the task. The consultants,
Parametrix, Inc. who did the park design and several facets of Evergreen Park development, has
agreed to perform the aforementioned tasks through the completion of the park construction.
Parametrix, Inc. shall oversee final permit requirements and the 4th quarter groundwater monitoring,
for a total of $31,791.57.
There were no comments from the public.
#1200 M/S/C/U (Shepherd/Reed) Move to approve this Professional Services Agreement with
Parametrix, Inc. in the amount of $31,791.57, to ensure that final construction components are
completed and closure of the construction contract for Evergreen Park Phase
8B - BID AWARD TO BUCKLEY RECYCLING CENTER, INC., FOR THE SESKO PROPERTY
NUISANCE ABATEMENT PROJECT LOCATED AT 3536 ARSENAL WAY AND 1701
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE; AND ASSOCIATED BUDGET ADJUSTMENT NO. 2001-20 {#AB01-
255): Janet Lunceford, Building Inspector, summarized that on October 18, 2001, bids were opened
for the Sesko Property Nuisance Abatement Project located at 3536 Arsenal Way and 1701
Pennsylvania Avenue, owned by Bill & Natacha Sesko. This action is a result of a Kitsap County
Superior Court judgement granting injunctive relief to the City of Bremerton, which authorized the City
to remove all objects, vehicles and boats on the two properties. Eight bids for this project were
received, and Buckley Recycling Center, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder with a bid of
$158,571.69. The action before the City Council is approval of a contract with Buckley Recycling
Center, Inc. for the Sesko Property Abatement Project. A budget adjustment of $275,000 is also
required, which is the estimated amount of the final costs for this project. Photographs of both sites
were provided.
President Law emphasized that the bid award was sole concern for the item, which was confirmed
by Interim City Attorney Greg Amann.
Joe Murphy expressed his concern over the amount of money being spent. President Law
discussed the abatement process, and explained that the City has a line of credit with the bank, so
the bank would loan the money to the City to be used for the abatement. When the settlement is
made either by the owner or by sale of the property in three years, the bank gets the money back, as
well as the interest - therefore, City taxpayer money is not used.
Natacha Sesko questioned the bid process. Ms. Lunceford briefly reported on the process, and
indicated that the next court date is set for November 16th at which time it would be decided if the
tagged items are the correct items to be removed. Bill Sesko then asked that Council delay the bid
award until the November 16th COUrt date.
Clayton Longnecker, Attorney Representing Mr. & Mrs. Bill Sesko, spoke on the Sesko's behalf, and
also advised the Council to delay this issue until after November 16th SO the nature of the items to be
removed could be specified, and moved by Mr. Sesko, which could potentially lower the cost, as well
as the environmental liability to the City. Ms. Lunceford pointed out that a Final Judgement was
TAPES #1803 & #1804
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
November 7, 2001
Page 4 of 6
established almost a year ago, in January 2001, so there has been more than sufficient time to
contend with the issue of removal of items on the property. She also noted that only recently, has Mr.
Sesko made any attempts to remove items from the property.
Agnes Fagnue expressed her support for the Sesko's situation.
Mr. Sesko stated that before items falling within his property lines could be identified, the question
over property line boundaries required additional investigation prior to awarding the bid. Ms.
Lunceford commented that boats fall under his property line on Iow water tide line.
Mrs. Arends and Ms. Lunceford discussed the amounts of the bidders and it was determined that
the amount was fair when compared to current rates, and any action would be taken after November
16th.
Mr. Younger asked if the contract amount would be amended if it were found there is less removal
required. Peter Maxwell, Parametrix, answered that the firm would present any changes to the City
Council, and amounts would be negotiated at the appropriate time. The amount as listed on the bid
would be the maximum amount allowed under the contract.
Mr. Younger asked about the City's exposure to liability with respect to environmental clean up.
Mr. Amann affirmed that if procedures are followed as set out by the Model Toxins Control Act, there
is an exception to liability exposure for current property owners who take back property through
foreclosure as long as the owner does not contribute to the hazard and can not manage the property.
Mr. Shepherd asked who would then pay for clean-ups? Mr. Amann responded that the prior owner,
or whoever contributed to release of the hazardous material would be responsible.
Mr. Maupin pointed out that with any contract, there might be change orders as the project goes on,
and there may be monetary savings towards the lien if the bid is awarded.
Mr. Reed discussed the long history of this particular site, and encouraged this clean-up effort to
proceed.
Mr. Shepherd stated those following good-will efforts, there might be little to clean up, and the
contract amount would reflect that effort. Mr. Law also recalled how long the issue has progressed.
#257§ M/S/C/U (McConnell/Reed) Move to approve award of the bid of $158,571.69 to Buckley
Recycling Center, Inc. for the Sesko Property Nuisance Abatement project and authorize the Mayor
to execute the same.
#2650 M/S/C/U (McConnell/Reed) Move approve Budget Adjustment No. 2001-20 in the amount of

8C - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARAMETRIX, INC. AND THE CITY

PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE (#AB01-256): Janet Lunceford, Building Inspector, announced that the
City of Bremerton will soon enter into a contract to perform the Superior Court mandated nuisance

cumulative effect that was presented in public hearing on Aug. 29, 2001; the recommendations of the Planning
Commission on the 2000-! Docket of proposed amendments; and Council findings in open, deliberative session on Oct.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT (cont.):
Five of the proposed amendments (PL00-54, PL-0063, PL00-657 PL00-0073, PL00-0077) in the Ordinance
will effect changes to the Land Use Plan map and the Official Zoning Map. One of the amendments (PL01-
0024) adds supplemental policy language and an "illustrative map" to the Plan. In Aug. 2001, the Council
adopted two non-quantitative policy additions (PL01-0010, PL01-0016) to the Plan from the 2000-1 Docket,
and these additions were included in the analysis of cumulative effect and the Council's deliberations on the
full Docket.
5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
Non-passage of the ordinance could raise appeals regarding the integrity of the amendment process as
prescribed in the Comprehensive Plan.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
The adoption of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that are consistent with the policies of the Plan has
no adverse affects on City operations. Some of the amendments may have positive revenue affects to the

General Policies
Page 2 of
1. New development shall reinforce pedestrian activity at the street level, present an attractive
profile on the skyline, and provide opportunities for artistic expression.
2. On-going programs and funding priorities should ensure that downtown streets and
sidewalks are clean, safe, well lighted and attractive.
3. Parking supply, including both on-street and off-street facilities, should be managed to
emphasize short-term use over long term use, ensudng an adequate supply for shoppers
and visitors.
4. Parking facilities should be designed to contribute to an attractive appearance of the
streetscape and overall image of the downtown.
5. The city shall ensure high quality design in both public and pdvate development through a
design review process.
6. Regulations should reward new development with intensity and/or height in return for
incorporating features such as public spaces, housing, and underground parking.
7. The city should employ a vadety of techniques, including upgraded and expanded
infrastructure (including streets and sidewalks), public/private partnerships, the development
and management of parking, and property disposition to encourage desired development.
8. Downtown should be linked to surrounding neighborhoods by landscaped streets, open
spaces, pedestrian and bicycle routes, and transit.
9. Development along the northern edge of downtown should step down in height and include
substantial landscaping in recognition of the adjacent, Iow-scale residential neighborhood.
10. Intedm and temporary retail uses should be encouraged in order to stimulate small business
activity and to attract new investment and customers to downtown.
Downtown Core (DC) Policies
1. The Downtown Core should contain building s having sufficient height and intensity to create
a high concentration of employment, retail, and residential.
2. This district should be served both bus and ferry transportation, with sidewalk and walkway
connections that are lighted and landscaped to encourage the use of transit.
3. A variety of public spaces should be provided through this district, including landscaped
plazas, squares, overlooks, pocket parks and larger civic spaces that incorporate public art.
4. Certain streets within this district should be particularly pedestrian oriented, with wider
sidewalks, furnishings, and on-street parking. Streetscape enhancements, uses and
architectural features should make walking safe, comfortable and appealing.
5. Fast-moving, through traffic should be separated from local traffic and pedestrian movement
that are oriented to the downtown core.

hours.
7. The availability of parking should be evident without having parking structures interrupt the
continuity of street level uses or overwhelm the scale of their surroundings.
8. Given the steep topography north of 4~ Street, new development should include internal
corridors or terraced walk-ways that can make the slope easier to traverse on foot.
9. Over time, there should be a landscaped, pedestrian-oriented corridor connecting the
uplands portion of the Core with the waterfront.
10. Design standards should ensure the continuity of storefronts and a pedestrian-oriented
scale and features along all streets within the Core.
Page3of /~
Downtown Waterfront (DW) Policies
1. The Downtown Waterfront Distdct should consist of a mixture of transportation facilities,
madna and support services, specialty shops and restaurants, and Iow-rise, high density
residential.
2. There should be clear, attractive pedestrian routes, public places, and connections between
the Downtown Waterfront distdct and the Downtown Core.
3. New development within the Downtown Waterfront distdct should include parking to meet its
own demand. Freestanding parking to serve commuters only is not an appropriate use in
this district. While some parking facilities may serve both local businesses and regional
needs, commuters should generally be encouraged to use transit and park-and-ride lots.
4. Structures should be terraced down toward the water in order to maximize views and
reinforce the stepped form of downtown. View corridors in alignment with east/west upland
streets should be preserved.
5. The madna should be expanded and converted to both short stay and long term moorage,
with public access provided to any breakwater structures.

BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0054: Nance: Kitsap Way/Weslon Place
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects eight (8) parcels of land, aggregating
approximately two-and a half (2.54) acres, and are located generally north of and
fronting on Kitsap Way and Weslon Place. Five (5) of the parcels directly front on
Kitsap Way and the remainder three (3) are located behind the Kitsap Way frontage
properties on both sides of Weslon Place. Specifically, the proposal properties are
identified with Tax Parcel No's: 162401-4-023-2004; 162401-4-024-2003, 162401-4-
025-2002; 162401-4-026-2001, 162401-4-075-2001; 162401-4-081-2003, 162401-4-
082-2002, and 162401-4-083-2001.
PROPOSAL: 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
reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment
request. 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: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General
Business (Gl3).
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 Headng
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 proposed amendment was part of the 1999 Amendments Docket. Dudng the
City Council review of the 1999 Amendments, facts came to light which caused the
applicant to change the configuration of the proposed map amendment area. This
change took place in May of 2000, just pnor to the City Council's action to adopt
Ordinance Nos. 4708 and 4710. The changes made in the proposal, the Planning
Commission reviewed, reduced the amount of commercial area by half.
3. Following the adoption of Ordinances No. 4708 and 4710 (The Weslon Place
Amendments), an appeal was filed with the Central Puget Sound Growth
Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB). In eady August of 2000, it was
determined that the documentation in tl~e file for when public notice had been given
was incomplete. Given that fact, a decision was made to have the City Council take
action to repeal Ordinances Nos. 4708 and 4710. The City Council passed
Ordinance No. 4720 on August 31, 2000 and on September 14, 2000, that ordinance
became effective. The effect of Ordinance No. 4720 is to remand the Roger Nance-
Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Rezone map amendment to the
Planning Commission for reconsideration. The City's action to repeal the
amendments gave cause for the CPSGMHB to deny the appeal. Consequently, the
Roger Nance-Kitsap WayNVeslon Place Amendments became part of 2001
Amendments Docket.
4. A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property.
This included the property surrounding the intersection of Weslon Place and Kitsap
Way. The surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and commercial
development, with the commercial development centered along Kitsap Way and at
main artedal intersections. The general trend over the past several decades has
been toward commercial development along the Kitsap Way corddor in this area.
5. 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 non-project amendment are
those outlined in the Growth Management ACt RCW 36.70A. 130.
6. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this project as originally
configured in accordance with WAC 197-11 on January 6, 2000. Subsequent to the
action described in the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DNS (of January 6,
2000), the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment proposal for
the Nance - Kitsap Way/Wesion Place area was reduced in size by eliminating the
residential properties that lie within 200 feet of the Ordinary High Water (OHW) mark
of Oyster Bay. The effect of this change was to lessen the expected impacts of plan
and zoning implementation. The new proposal was judged to be addressed within
the scope of expected impacts to the environment evaluated in the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) analysis that led to the Determination of Non-
Significance (DNS).
7. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals, especially goals
dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development,
etc.
8. This non-project proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and
transportation: The site has been served with all services, facilities, and utilities for
several decades and fronts on a major arterial.
9. The conversion of properties within the area of consideration that fronts on Kitsap
Way appears appropriate. Kitsap Way is a major arterial carrying between 33,191
(at Oyster Bay Avenue) to 34,883 (at State Route 3) average daily tnps. This
amount of traffic is considered of a sufficient level to create commercial development
opportunities. Such a conversion would bridge a current "gap" of commercially
planned land uses that currently exists along Kitsap Way and the change would
represent a logical extension of commercial uses along the corridor. Some
vacancies in the available commercial land that have been consumed in the
subsequent years. The development progression in the intervening years since
1995 indicates there is a need for more commercial development in this area of the
City.
10. The proposed Nance - Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Official
Zoning Map amendment would establish a land use pattern that is an extension of
the existing plan and commercial zoning that abuts the site on the east. On the west,
the proposed zoning is in near proximity to the General Business (GB) zoning found
about 20 feet away. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning
district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from
Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G) satisfies all
five of the ;'Approval Criteria" for comprehensive plan amendments.
2. This requested rezone from: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General Business
(GB) satisfies all five applicable rezone critena of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance
as specified in Chapter 21.02.920.
3. The location is particularly suitable because it is on a public transit line, has direct
access to a major artedal street, and has all necessary utilities available to support
higher intensity development.
4. The proposal will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan:
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. The proposed rezone is in the public interest and will not be materially detrimental
to surrounding neighborhood.
6. The proposed rezone satisfied the consistency rule in the GMA.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0063: TRANSERV: Sylvan Way & Almira Drive
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects one (1) flag shaped parcel of land,
containing approximately One and eight tenths (1.8) acres, and located north of and
adjacent to the TRANSERV Building fronting Sylvan Way. The subject parcel is
currently developed as an accessory parking area to the TRANSERV Building and is
accessed from the east off of Almira Drve. Specifically, the proposal property is
identified with Tax Parcel No: 3992-O01-003-0108.
PROPOSAL: 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
reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment
request. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan map would be amended from: Medium
Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C-P), and; The Official
Zoning Map would be amended from: Residential Medium-Density (MF) to Professional
Office (PO).
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 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. A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject
property. The surrounding land uses on the north, east and west include the
Viewcrest Apartment Homes development. The TRANSERV office building is
located adjacent to the south and a Post Office and Library are immediately
across Sylvan Way to the south. A utility sub-station exists adjacent to the
southwest corner of the site
3. There are no specific application for use and development of this non-project
proposal. There are no step slopes to be found on the property. 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 no specific application 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.
4. This proposal can be accommodated by alt services, facilities and
transportation. The site has been served with exPandable services, facilities,
and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial.
5. Wheaton Way is a major arterial and Sylvan Way carries substantial
"Collector" average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered to be of a
sufficient level for non-residential development opportunities.
6. This proposal to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map
amendment would extend an adjacent land use pattern, which is an extension
of the existing plan and Professional Office zoning that abuts the site on the
south side of Sylvan Way. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a
larger zoning district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. With the presence of commercial zoning on the south of the site, and the
site's proximity to the commercial corridor of Sylvan Way and Wheaton Way,
it is appropriate to address these areas within the one-half mile wide corridor
centered on Wheaton Way in greater land use detail than when the City
adopted it's Comprehensive Plan in 1995. 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
of the Wheaton Way Plan should be favorably considered.
2. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map
from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C-
P) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
3. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from Residential Medium-
Density (MF) to Professional Office (PO) appears to satisfy the five applicable
rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter
21.02.920.
4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development
other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to
medium density residential land; is located on a collector transportation
corridor, and is immediately adjacent to an existing professional office
structure. The parcel is of sufficient size to be developed for a commercial
office structure with adequate buffering opportunities on the peripheral,
residential development.
5. The proposal is consistent with and will help implement the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan by encouraging new economic development,
finding new site for non-residential development, and attracting new
businesses to the City.
6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0065: Hancock: North of Werner Road
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: The seven subject parcels of the Hancock-American
Redicorp Plan Amendment and Rezone Application, containing approximately 45 acres,
are located generally north of Werner Road, west of Broad Street, southeast of Price
road, and south of Kitsap Lake and Harlow Drive. Specifically, the proposal properties
are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 202401-1-001-2000, 212401-2-040-2000, 202401-1-
013-2000, 202401-1-014-2000, 202401-1-021-2006, 202401-1-003-2000, 202401-1-
002-2009.
PROPOSAL: 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
redesignate the properties specified in the amendment requests from Iow to medium
density residential to industrial designations. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan
Map would be amended from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP),
and, The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Res. Low Density (SF-1, SF-3),
& Res. Med. Density (MF) to Industrial Park (IP).

3. This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and
transportation. The site has been served with expandable services, facilities,
and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial.
4. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies the Wemer Road Industrial Corridor
as an excellent location for industrial expansion, as mentioned in the WEST
BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and
improvement plans.
5. An assessment of the Werner Road Industrial Corridor indicates that it can
accommodate additional industrial uses.
The residential parcels surrounding the proposal are largely underdeveloped
and lend themselves to conversion to industrial park uses.
7. The proposed Industrial Park land use plan designation encourages
technology and other high quality industrial uses that pose minimal
environmental impacts on the surrounding urban
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to ct~ange the map
from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to satisfy
the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
2. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Res. Low Density
(SF-1, SF-3), & Res. Med. Density (MF) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to
satisfy the five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance

3. The proposal is consistent with and will help implement the goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan by: Encouraging new economic
development, finding new sites for commercial and industrial development,
and attracting new businesses to the City.
4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development
other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to
medium density residential land. As the large parcels are underdeveloped,
somewhat remote, wooded with variable terrain, and, limited infrastructure
for residential development, it is more suitable for industrial development, as
industrially developable land requires large underdeveloped parcels to be
economically viable for development.
5. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals dealing with
urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development, etc.
6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-O073: WESLAR: Sixth Street/Broadway-west of Warren Avenue,
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects four (4) parcels of land, aggregating
approximately one-quarter (1/4) acre, and are located generally north of 6th Avenue,
west of Broadway Street, and east of Chester Avenue. The parcels are more
specifically described as Lots 1 - 4, Block 6 of the Dietz Addition and addressed as
1102, 1104, 1106, and 1108 6th Street, Bremerton, respectively. Specifically, the
proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 3743-006-001-0002, 3743-006-
002-0209, and 3743-006-004-0009.
PROPOSAL: 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. Specifically: The
Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Medium Density Residential
(MDR) to Central Business District (CBD), and; The Official Zoning Map would be
amended from: Professional Office (PO) to Business Core (BC).
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 P~an 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 area surrounding the subject application property is an underdeveloped
variety of rand uses with, older single-family residential units on small lots
and commercial business mixed in. Some of the uses and many of the
properties do not conform with current zoning regulations.
3. 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, with possible infitl of underdeveloped parcels which has the potential
to reduce urbanizing pressures in other zone classifications, and being
situated amongst a developing neighborhood evolving to a higher intensity of
land use can encourage economic development.
4. There are no sensitive land use issues identified with this site. Potential
slopes exist behind the sidewalk fronting 6~h Street and slope away and down
to the alley to the north. Any future development proposal for this site will
impact one (1) older residential structure situated on four lots.
5. Future development of this non-project proposal can be accommodated by
all services, facilities and transportation.
6. The Comprehensive Plan policies favor growth in urban areas to encourage
economic development, finding new sites for commercial development to
attract new business.
7. Policy (h) of the CBD Plan encourages the promotion of land uses and
development patterns predicated upon the continuing study and refinement
of the "Urban Diagram" that will reflect the best interest of the community.
The proposal area is located immediately west of the area indicated on the
Urban Diagram as "Sixth-Street Auto Oriented" and is an appropriate
extension of this district. The proposal is influenced by higher-density land-
use transitional areas to the east.
8. City water and sewer infrastructure required to support higher density
development of this property exists within the proposal area.
9. The proposed Zoning Map amendment would continue to establish a land
use pattern which is an extension of the adjacent and larger BC zoning
district depicted on the existing zoning map. The change of zoning
classification for this proposal does not form a new district nor will it become
an isolated "spot zone~'. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a
larger zoning district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Ongoing higher intensity use land development in and around the Business
Core area is in the best public interest.
2. The Business Core area can accommodate additional higher density
commercial and residential uses, as well as expand to bring those "fringe"
areas influenced by the district development under the broader "business
core umbrella" of relaxed standards and more flexibility in the zone
classification standards.
3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment requested to change the
map from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Central Business District
(CBD) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals, especially
with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, and with in-fill of
underdeveloped parcels.
4. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Professional Office
(PO) to Business Core (BC) satisfies the five applicable rezone criteria of
the B remerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in'Chapter 21.02.920.
5. The location is particularly suitable for higher intensity development, and
land use development such as that found in other areas of the CBD, as it is
located adjacent to the CBD and in an auto-oriented, commercially
developing area.
6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0077: Mentor: Warren Avenue/Clare Avenue
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: The proposal affects a single parcel of land containing
approximately 9,100 square feet and is located at 2755 Clare Avenue; situated within
the inside curve of the Clare Avenue off-ramp from Warren Avenue immediately
northeast of the Warren Avenue Bridge. Specifically, the proposal property is identified
as Lot 1, Block 2, Second Addition to Sheridan Park. Tax Parcel No: 3966-002-001-
0001.
PROPOSAL: 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 requests. Specifically: The
Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Medium-Density Residential (MDR)
to General & Professional Offices (C-P), and the Official Zoning Map would be amended
from: Residential Medium-Density (MF) to Health Care (HC).
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 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. There are no significant adverse environmental affects. There are no
wetlands to be found on the property. Significant slopes occur on the
southern portion of the parcel. The parcel is located on the inside curve of
the Clare Avenue exit ramp from the Northeast end of the Warren Avenue
Bridge. The parcel is currently undeveloped, with the exception of the
eastern property line.
3. This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and
transportation.
4. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals and is
consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl,
encouraging economic development, finding new sites for associated
neighborhood commercial development, and attracting new businesses to the
City.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map
from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-
G) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
2. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Residential Medium-
Density (MF) to Health Care (HC) satisfies the five applicable rezone criteria
of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02.920.
3. The location is suitable for development other than medium density
residential use, as it is isolated from other Iow to medium density residential
land.
4. The proposal is consistent with the GMA and City planning goals and is
consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl,
encouraging economic development, finding new sites for associated
neighborhood commercial development, and attracting new businesses to
the City.
5. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.
Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.

PLEASE SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE BREMERTON
CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR MEETING DEALING WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - SPECIFICALLY THE REQUESTED WESLON
PLACE REQUESTED REZONE. READING 1T INTO THE RECORD
WOULD BE THE MOST DESIREABLE - (ASK THE SECRETARY TO

THEY WERE AGAIN NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECTS IN THEIR

GEORGE AND I HAVE DECIDED THAT THERE IS MORE AT STAKE
HERE THAN THE WESLON PLACE REZONE ITSELF - IT IS A
BREAKDOWN IN THE EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL PROCESS WHICH
WE AS CITIZENS HAVE A RIGHT UNDER LAW TO EXPECT FROM
OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED CITY OFFICIALS .... AND WE
ARE WILLING TO TAKE IT THROUGH AND PAST THE GMHB AND
INTO THE COURTS.
HELEN
IRREGULARITIES CONCERNING THE WESLON PLACE REQUESTED
REZONE
AS PART OF THE BREMERTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
Submitted via e-mail on Sunday, November 18, 2001
by Helen Miller P. O. Box 788 Bremerton, WA 98337
This e-mail is submitted - via Mr. Carlos
Montgomery, - is intended to be read into the official
record of/he Bremerton City Council public hearing
scheduled fbr 20 November, 2001; and retained as
Evidence which will be called should the Weslon Place
Rezone be endorsed by this Council and that decision
appealed betbre the Grm~lh Management Hearings Board
and / or challenged in Superior Court.
l I/18/2001
Page 2 of 3
The irregularities presented below are
identified as NOT being in compliance with existing
Statutory Regulations including the Growth Management
Act, and the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan.
The Weslon Place rezone is a small area rezone
according to the BREMERTON Municipal Code and
therefore a Spot Rezone. Under the Bremerton Code
approval of a Small Area Rezone is a Quasi Judicial
decision - NOT a Legislative Action. The Planning
Commission handled this rezone - at least part of the
time as a Quasi Judicial action - But at the
insistence of the Temporary City Attorney and the
Director of Building and Planning - the City Council
was directed to bundle all items of the Comp Plan
Amenchnent to be treated as Legislative action. There
is no authority for such mixing of Quasi Judicial and
Legislative actions. The Bremerton City Council has
been advised of this discrepancy on three separate
occasions, once by a highly respected Land Use
Attorney from Poulsbo, Mr. Tracy.
The Bremerton Planning Commission violated all
precepts of public hearings, and destroyed public
trust by approving the rezone, without a single minute
of discussion witnessed by the public. Their decision
was apparently based solely on the advice of the then,
soon to be discharged, City Planner, who stated -
unchallenged by Planning Commission question, or any
knowledge of the area - that All of Kitsap Way was
Commercial; which it is NOT. NOTE that the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan does NOT clearly state that the
Kitsap Way corridor is designated Commercial. Public
input to the Planning Commission went entirely
ignored, including the pointing out of sections of the
Growth Management Act which disallow casual
destruction of viable residential neighborhoods, in
which the original zoning classification was NOT in
error. To date no substantial and valid reason has
been presented which justifies the destruction of
this neighborhood. NOTE that the Planning Commission
had been repeatedly advised, by the Director of
Planning and Building, to "Study their Comp Plan and
tbllow the policy / directions of that Plan". It
should be incumbent upon the members of the Bremerton
City Council to verify at this hearing that they have
read and are familiar with the Comp Plan - and that
they can produce at least one copy of that document at
this time in the hearing.
I I / 18/20O t
The Bremerton City Council held no discussion of the
Weslon Place proposed Rezone at the Public Hearing.
Council Members were advised by the Director of
Building and Planning that he would present
information to them at the Study Session - at which
time there would be an opportunity for Council
question and discussion. I attended all hearings and
the study session and not only did Building and
Planning NOT present information to the Council BUT
Councilman Shepherd almost immediately made a motion
to put all of the Planning Commission approved items
into one Ordinance - with no discussion .A vote was
then taken, with Council woman Arends abstaining;
passing the Shepherd motion. Note: Council Woman
Arends had come prepared with notes and numerous
serious questions, on two occasions - at the public
hearing and at the Study Session - only to be
overruled by Messer's Law and Shepherd.
The above unprofessional actions - demonstrating
little or no regard to the law or ethics - on the
part of these City of Bremerton Officials gives the
lie to any public belief in, or expectation of a
reasoned, fair, and knowledgeable government by their
elected and appointed officials.
The City Council members and the Appointed City
Officials are being paid to do specified and
professional jobs. When they indicate by their
actions that they are not willing to make the effort -
to live up to their Oaths of office or Job
Descriptions - they should step aside.
I l/I 8/200
On October 24, 2001 there was a council work session scheduled to
deliberate the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning map. It consisted of the good old boys club in full operation:
Mike Shepard made a motion to place certain items on the agenda for
the 20th of November and this motion was quickly second and
Councilwomen Carol Arends stated that she came prepared to discuss
certain of these items, she was quickly cut off my both Law and Shepard
and the motions quickly passed and the meeting was adjourned. So
much for deliberations by members of the council, especially when one
or more could be opposed to the desires of the GOOD OLD BOYS
CLUB.
Now these extremely well discussed items are before the city
council tonight for quick passage and I know with lengthy deliberation.
I6tems PL0ol-0024, Downtown Development Policies and Map
Item PL00-0065 -= Hancock: North of Werner Road
Item PL00-0077: Mentor: Warren Avenue/Clare Avenue
Item PL01-0010 and Item PL01-0016
These five items, especially the first three, are appropriate items
to bring forward for open deliberations and possible approval.
However, items
PL00-0054: Nance: Kitsap Way/Weslon Place
PL00-0073: Weslar: Sixth Street/Broadway-west of Warren
Avenue, and
PL00-0063: Transerv: Sylvan Way & Almira Drive, are
subject to question.
First all three of these later proposal are in effect small area
rezones and should have been handled that way. Quasi-judicial
proceeding most likely would have disqualified up to four members of
the council.
Second: Even the Bremerton Planning Commissions finding
and conclusions on items not before this agenda concluded: "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 of the side streets and the
dissolution of the residential area that butts up against the commercial
frontages along the corridor:
Further the Bremerton Planning Commission states: "When the
City undertakes its mandated update of the Comprehensive Plan review
and amendment of 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."
This is exactly what the Growth Management Act requires and
this is not what is being uniformly enforced.
It is ironic that the Bremerton Planning Commission failed to
adhere to their own words in disapproving other like rezones and
approving the above three items.
Each of the above three items are not consistent with the current
Comprehensive Plan for each of these areas. The Growth Management
Act, (which some of you probably have never read) discourages the
encroachment of commercial property in established residential
neighborhoods. Our own Comprehensive plan of 1995, fully considered
residential and commercial zones realized that we need to maintain
established neighborhoods and also the need for additional annexation
to accommodate residential, commercial and industrial uses.
I like many other citizens of this city have not seen a
overwhelming mandate for additional commercial encroachment into
residential area, except from those whose desire it to establish
commercial zoning anywhere and everywhere they can manage, in
order that they may, and I say may make a profit and in some cases for
the sole purpose of destroying a small neighborhood in order to meet
their own wants and desires.
I realize that anything that I and others like me who have
protested the Good Old Boys Club style of governing us lowly citizens,
our words will have no effect on your decision tonight.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0054: Nance: Kitsap Way/Weslon Place
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects eight (8) parcels of land, aggregating
approximately two-and a half (2.54) acres: and are located generally north of and
fronting on Kitsap Way and Weston Place. Five (5) of the parcels directly front on
Kitsap Way and the remainder three (3) are located behind the Kitsap Way frontage
properties on both sides of Weslon Place. Specifically, the proposal properties are
identified with Tax Parcel No's: 162401-4-023-2004; 162401-4.-024-2003, 162401-4-
025-2002; 162401-4-026-2001, 162401-4-075-2001; 162401-4-081-2003, 162401-4-
082-2002, and 162401-4-083-2001.
PROPOSAL: 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
reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment
request. 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: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General
Business (GS).
FINDINGS:
I. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan ~rough
city and public initiated amendment applications, wnic~ will be, applied citywide as
'Nell 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. "Fnroughout the year, applications for
Comprehensive P!an 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 proposed amendment ,,vas part of the 1999 Amendments Docket Dunng the
City Council review of the 1999 Amendments, facts came to light whic~'l caused the
applicant to change the configuration of the proposed map amendment area. This
change look place in May of 2000, just pnor to the City Council's action to adopt
Ordinance Nos. 4708 and 4710. The changes made in the proposal, ~he Planning
Commission reviewed, reduced the amount of commercial area by half.
3. Following the adoption of Ordinances No. 4708 and 4710 (The Weslon Place
Amendments), an appeal was filed with the Central Puget Sound Growth
Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB). In eady August of 2000, it was
determined that the documentation in the file for when public notice had been given
was incomplete. Given that fact, a decision was made to have the City Coundl take
action to repeal Ordinances Nos. 4708 and 4710. The City Council passed
Ordinance No. 4720 on August 31, 2000 and on September 14, 2000, that ordinance
became effective. The effect of Ordinance No. 4720 is to remand the Roger Nance-
Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Comprehensive Ptan and Rezone map amendment to the
Planning Commission for reconsideration. The City's action to repeal the
amendments gave cause for the CPSGMHB to deny the appeal. Consequently, the
Roger Nance-Kitsap WayNVeslon Place Amendments became part of 2001
Amendments Docket.
4. A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property.
This included the property surrounding the intersection of Weslon P!ace and Kitsap
Way. The surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and commercial
development, with the commercial development centered along Kitsap Way and at
main arterial intersections. The general trend over the past several decades has
been toward commercial development along the Kitsap Way comdor in this area.
5. Element K of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Implementation. Consistency
and Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the %dteda for
Approval," which must be satisfied before Plan Amendments can be approved. The
procedures followed for consideration of this proposed non-project amendment are
those outlined in the Growth Management Act RCW 36.70A. 130.
6. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this project as originally
configured in accorc~ance ,~th WAC 197-11 on January 8, 2000. Subsequent to the
action desc,dbed in the t999 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DNS (of January 6,
2000), the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment proposal for
the Nance - Kitsap Way/Wesion P!ace area was reduced in size by eliminating the
residentiai :~roperties that !ie within 200 feet of .-.he OrCinar,/;--tigh Water (OHW) mark
of Oyster Bay. The effect, of this change was to ',essen the expec',ed impacts of plan
and zoning impiemenfation. The new proposal was ;udged to be addressed within
the scope of ~xpected impels to the environment evaluated in the State
Environmental Policy .Act, (SEPA) analysis that '.ed to :he Determination of Non-
Significance (DNS).
7. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City ~lanning goals, especially goals
dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawt, encouraging economic development,
etc.
8. This non-project proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and
transportation: The site has been served with all sen/ices, facilities, and utilities for
several decades and fronts on a major arterial.
9. The conversion of properties within the area of consideration that fronts on Kitsap
Way appears appropriate. Kitsap Way is a major arterial carrying between 33,191
(at Oyster Bay Avenue) to 34,883 (at State Route 3) average daily trips. This
amount of traffic is considered of a sufficient level to create commercial development
opportunities. Such a conversion would bridge a current "gap" of commercially
planned land uses that currently exists along Kitsap Way and the change would
represent a logical extension of commercial uses along the corridor. Some
vacancies in the available commercial land that have been consumed in the
subsequent years. The development progression in the intervening years since
1995 indicates there is a need for more commercial development in this area of the
City.
10. The proposed Nance- Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Official
Zoning Map amendment would establish a land use pattern that is an extension of
the existing plan and commercial zoning that abuts the site on the east. On the west,
the proposed zoning is in near proximity to the General Business (GB) zoning found
about 20 feet away. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning
district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change ~e map from
Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G) satisfies all
five of the "Approval Criteria" for comprehensive plan amendments.
2. This requested rezone from: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General Business
(GB) satisfies all five applicable rezone critena of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance
as specified in Chapter 21.02.920.
3. The location is particularly suitable because it is on a public transit Iine, has direct
access to a major artedal street, and has all necessary utilities available to support
higher intensity development.
4. The proposal will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan:
Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial
development, and attracting new businesses to the City are local policies and
oOjectives of the Compret3ensive Plan. This prol3osai is consistent '/~th those
polices and objectives.
5. The proposed rezone is in ~l~e public interest and will r~ot be matenatly detrimental
to surrounding neighDodnood.
8. The proposed rezone satisfied the consistency rule in the GMA.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0063: TRANSERV: Sylvan Way & Aimira Drive
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects one (1) flag shaped parcel of land,
containing approximately One and eight tenths (1.8) acres, and located north of and
adjacent to the TRANSERV Building fronting Sylvan Way. The subject parcel is
currently developed as an accessory parking area to the TRANSERV Building and is
accessed from the east off of Almira Drve. Specifically, the proposal property is
identified with Tax Parcel No: 3992--001-003-0108.
PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Ptan Map and
Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to
reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment
request. Specifically: The Comprehensive P!an map would he amended from: Medium
Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C-P), and; The Official
Zoning Map would be amended from: Residential Medium-Density (MF) to Professional
Office (PO).
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 procose specific development
projects. Throug~out 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 P!anning Commission and the City Council
levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of acproval 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. A !and use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject
property. The surrounding land uses on the north, east and west include the
Viewcrest Apartment Homes development. The TRANSERV office building is
located adjacent to the south and a Post Office and Library are immediately
across Sylvan Way to the south. A utility sub-station exists adjacent to the
southwest corner of the site
3. There are no specific application for use and development of this non-project
proposal. There are no step slopes to be found on the property. 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 no specific application 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.
4. This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and
transportation. The site has been served with expandable services, facilities,
and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial.
5. Wheaton Way is a major arterial and Sylvan Way carries substantial
"Collector" average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered to be of a
sufficient level for non-residential development opportunities.
6. This proposal to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map
amendment would extend an adjacent land use pattern, which is an extension
of the existing plan and Professional Office zoning that abuts the site on the
south side of Sylvan Way. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a
larger zoning district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. With the presence of commercial zoning on the south of the site, and the
site's proximity to ~.he commercial comdor of Sylvan Way and Wheaton Way,
it is appropriate to address these areas within the one-half mile wide corddor
centered on Wheaton Way in greater land use detail than when the City
adopted it's Comprehensive Plan in 1995. 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
of the Wheaton Way Plan should be favorably considered.
2. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map
frcm: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C-
P) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
3. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from Residential Medium-
Density (MF) to Professional Office (PO) appears to satisfy the five applicable
rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter
21 .O2.92O.
4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development
other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to
medium density residential land; is located on a collector transportation
corridor, and is immediately adjacent to an existing professional office
structure. The parcel is of sufficient size to be developed for a commercial
office structure with adequate buffering opportunities on the peripheral,
residential development.
5. The proposal is consistent with and will help implement the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan by encouraging new economic development,.
finding new site for non-residential development, and attracting new
businesses to the City.
6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency r~le in the GMA.

002-2009.
PROPOSAL: 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
redesignate the properties specified in De amendment requests from Iow to medium

Map would be amended from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP),
and, The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Res. Low Density (SF-1, SF-3),
& Res. Med. Density (MF) to Industrial Park (IP).

4. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies the Wemer Road Industrial Comdor
as an excellent location for industrial expansion, as mentioned in the WEST
BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and
improvement plans.
5. An assessment of the Wemer Road Industrial Corridor indicates that it can
accommodate additional industrial uses.
6. The residential parcels surrounding the proposal are largely underdeveioped
and lend themselves to conversion to industrial park uses.
7. The proposed Industrial Park land use plan designation encourages
technology and other high quality industrial uses that pose minimal
environmental impacts on the surrounding urban
CONCLUSIONS:
!. The proposed Comprehensive P!an Amendment request to change the map
from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to satisfy
the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
2. This requested rezone to ct~ange the Official Map from: Res. Low Density

4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development
other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to
medium density residential land. As the large parcels are underdeveloped,
somewhat remote, wooded with variable terrain, and, limited infrastructure
for residential development, it is more suitable for industrial development, as
industrially developable land requires large underdeveloped parcels to be
economically viable for development.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL00-0073: WESLAR: Sixth Street/Broadway-west of Warren Avenue.
Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application
PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects four (4) parcels of land, aggregating
approximately one-quarter (1/4) acre, and are located generally north of 6tn Avenue,
west of Broadway Street, and east of Chester Avenue. The parcels are more
specifically described as Lots 1 - 4, Block 6 of the Dietz Addition and addressed as
1102, 1104, 1106, and 1108 6th Street, Bremerton, respectively. Specifically, the
proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 3743-006-001-0002, 3743-006-
002-0209, and 3743-006-004-0009.
PROPOSAL: 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. Specifically: The
Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Medium Density Residential
(MDR) to Central Business Distnct (CBD), and; The Official Zoning Map would be
amended from: Professional Office (PO) to Business Core (BC).
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 P!an Amendment application requests are
considered non-project actions, whic,h ~o not pro.~ose specific development
projects. Throughout the year. ap.~lications 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 C;ty Council for its
consideration. A proposal that the Council approves is enacted by
ordinance.
2. The area surrounding the subject application property is an underdeveloped
variety of land uses with, older single-family residential units on small lots
and commercial business mixed in. Some of the uses and many of the
properties do not conform with current zoning regulations.
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, with possible infill of underdeveloped parcels which has the potential
to reduce urbanizing pressures in other zone classifications, and being
situated amongst a developing neighborhood evolving to a higher intensity of
land use can encourage economic development.
4. There are no sensitive land use issues identified with this site. Potential
slopes exist behind the sidewalk fronting 6® Street and slope away and down
to the alley to the north. Any future development proposal for this site will
impact one (1) older residential structure situated on four lots.
5. Future development of this r~on-project proposal can be accommodated by
all services, facilities and transportation.
6. The Comprehensive Plan policies favor growth in urban areas to encourage
economic development, finding new sites for commercial development to
attract new business.
7. Policy (h) of the CeD P!an encourages the promotion of land uses and
development patterns predicated upon the continuing study and refinement
cf the "Urban Diagram" that will reflect the best interest of the community.
The proposal area is located immediately west of the area indicated on the
Urban Diagram as "Sixth-Street Auto Oriented" and is an appropriate
extension of this district. The proposal is influenced by higher-density land-
use transitional areas to the east.
8. City water and sewer infrastructure required to support higtqer density
development of this property exists within the proposal area.
9. The ,orcposed Zoning Map amendment would continue to establish a land
use pattern which is an extension of the adjacent and !arger BC zoning
district depicted on the existing zoning map. The ~hange of zoning
classification for this proposal does not form a new district nor will it become
an isolated "spot zone". The proposal meets the test of being a part of a
larger zoning district.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Ongoing higher intensity use land development in and around the Business
Core area is in [he best public interest.
2. The Business Core area can accommpdate additional higher density
commercial and residential uses, as well as expand to bring those "fringe"
areas influenced by the district development under the broader "business
core umbrella" of relaxed standards and more flexibility in the zone
classification standards.
3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment requested to change the
map from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Central Business Distdct
(CBD) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments.
This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals, especially
with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, and with in-fill of
underdeveloped parcels.
4. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Professional Office
(PO) to Business Core (BC) satisfies the five applicable rezone criteda of
the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in'.Chapter 21.02.920.
5. The location is particularly suitable for higher intensity development, and
land use development such as that found in other areas of the CBD, as it is
located adjacent to the CBD and in an auto-oriented, commercially
developing area.
6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
PL01-0024: Downtown Development Policies and Map
Comprehensive Plan Policies and illustrative Map Amendment Application
FINDINGS
1. The Growth Management Act encourages the efficient use of land for urban
development.
2. The Central Business District for the City of Bremerton has been designated in
the City Comprehensive Plan and within the Bremerton Municipal Code.
3. The Comprehensive Plan discussion of the Central Business districts on pages
56-58 includes the City's adopted Vision as required by the Growth Management
Act.
4. The city's vision for the CBD includes that it will "continue to the heart of the
Bremerton" and become a "more of a people place" and offer culture and
entertainment, retail, and other services.
5. Plan policies on page 57 indicate eight directives as to implementation of the
vision including: (g) Revise plans, regulations, and the permitting process, as
necessary/, to allow and encourage the intended types of uses and get them
aporoved as expeditiously as ;~ossibte." And (h) promote land uses and
development patterns consistent with (an) [the following} Urban Diagram and
continue to study and refine the diagram to refleCt the best interests of the
community.
6. The Central Business distnct urban diagram is larger than the designated Central
Business District and in the area east of the Pacific Avenue (both sides) to the
Port Washington narrows it includes the following uses: high density residential,
waterfront mixed use, compact intense pedestrian.-criented retail, Service
commercial, and Hotel/Historic areas.
7. The City of Bremerton Comprehensive Plan Policy Amendment Application
PL01-0024, proposes to amend the 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy
statements by including more specific Goals and polices for the Central Business
district (CBD) and adding two new sub-districts which permits uses for the
Downtown Core (DC) and Waterfront (WF) which are consistent with the Urban
Diagram and prohibits those not listed such as surface parking lots.
8. The Proposed Downtown core (DC) and Waterfront (WF) Policies are to be
implemented with the proposed simplified Code amendment that identifies
permitted Floor Area Ratios provided certain performance standards and public
amenities are provided.
9. Environmental impact checklist identified no significant impact upon the
environment, and the Director of Building and Planning has made a
Determination of Non-significance as provided by WAC 197-11, dated July 14,
2001, and published on July 17, 2001.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of the GrOwth Management Act and
will not result in Plan or regulation conflicts.
2. The proposal will change the development and use potential of areas within the
Central Business District (CBD). The Environmental Impact Checklist accomplished
for the proposed Goals, Polices and Code revisions did not identify significant
adverse impacts on existing sensitive land uses, businesses, or residents.
3. The proposal will help implement the goals and policies of the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan.
4. The proposed Downtown Bremerton goals, policies an(: code revisions have been
coordinated with Kitsap County for review and comment. Kitsap County
Commissioners, in open public meetings, have encouraged the adoption of the
proposed goals, policies and code revisions, which are not expected to have a
substantive impact beyond the city limits.
5. The ;rc.cosed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA.
