Development Board of Commissioners Presenter: Chris Hugo Phone: 473-5243 SUMMARY: The Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) were originally adopted and ratified by all Kitsap County local governments in 1992 pursuant to RCW 36.70A.210. In August, 2001, the CPPs were subsequently amended according to procedures of thc Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council. The 2003 amendments were developed over the past two years to address the remaining policy issues that were not considered in the 2001 amendments. This proposal is the result of considerable work of the KRCC Policy Board and its supporting technical committees. Following public hearing, the Kitsap County Commissioners made a preliminary approval of the KRCC proposed amendments on Nov. 24, 2003, with minor revisions. Under KRCC procedures, ratification of the amendments is required of all participating jurisdictions. Representatives of the Bremerton City Council and the Mayor participated in the long and extensive deliberations that produced these proposes amendments.

LUBOVICH, City Attorney KATHLEEN MCCLUSKEY, City Clerk R:\LEGAL\Resolutions\Countywide Planning Policies.doc 2 Countywide Planning Policies DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNZTY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM To: President Arend$ and Members, Breme~ten City Council / From: Chds Hugo, Direct~~' Date; December 23, 2003 Re: RATIFICATION OF 2003 REVISIONS TO COUN~E PLANNING POLICIES In anticipation of next Monday's Council Study Session on the proposed 2003 revisions to the County-wide Planning Policies (CPPs), I have attached another version of the proposal to more cieady present the changes for ratification. At the Study Session, I will be prepared to explain any of these changes, marked in red. Also, the three Council Members who sit on the KRCC Policy Board can provide background on the discussions among the elected officials on the Board who, by unanimous agreement, proposed these amendments. At the Study Session, I will present a bdef background on the context of CPPs within the Growth Management Act to set the stage for your discussion to reconsider ratification. I hope to make evident the value of GMA in general and CPPs in particular to those city interests that I hear vadous Council Members express when our growth future is discussed. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPOSED 2003 AMENDMENTS INCLUDE: · Reconstruction of Element B., Centers of Growth, for consistency with the Puget Sound Regional Council's description of"canters" as well as Bremerton's application of "centers' in the emerging new Comprehensive Plan · Designation of Silverdale as an "urban center," contingent on future County planning that demonstrates how Silverdale's urban core will achieve urban densities and character as the prelude to becoming a city. · Designation of the South Kiteap Industrial Area (SKIA) as a "Regional Manufacturing I Industrial Center" to preserve capacity for pdmary industry job growth. Under the City's proposed new Plan, SKIA is shown as part of Bremerton's urban growth future, and this designation may help connect SKIA with the other functional areas of the City. 2'7 · Changes of mandatory policies to permissive unless otherwise stipulated by law. An example is Element G. 9. e. that offers KRCC a potential procedural role in evaluating development impacts rather than mandating that role. In contrast, 9. b. remains mandatory as these responsibilities are already the duties of local jurisdictions planning under GMA. · Clarifying planning coordination with other entities to maintain a regional perspective on consequences of growth decisions on Bremerton. Current Element I. is redundant as it largely repeats provisions in GMA. Current Element K. confuses coordination with the Tribes and Navy and is proposed to be split into two separate Elements. The effect of these changes is to clarify coordination of growth planning, not to abrogate judsdictional authority. · Clarifying the responsibilities of KRCC to insure that its rote is to coordinate planning activities of mutual interest to all local governments rather than conducting countywide planning as a 'regional governing body." POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE OF NON-RATIFICATION: · The current CPPs remain in effect as ratified by the Bremerton City Council in August of 2001. All of the proposed changes above do not take affect. · The likelihood of maintaining regional agreement on the pending 2004 amendments to the CPPs is greatly jeopardized. The 2004 policy amendments greatly promote Bremerton's interest in expanding its urban growth area (UGA) to those existing designated growth areas that greatly impact our community's future capacity and character. · The ability to address long-term growth futures between Bremerton and our neighboring communities of Port Orchard and Silverdale is greatly reduced. · The County may reconsider its financial support of Bremerton's revitalization efforts (consider recent County roles in new Government Building, conference center financing, and revenue-sharing agreement for growth outside the city). · Page 2 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUN'rTY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM To: President Arends and Members, City Council From: Chris Hugo, Director Date: December 29, 2003 Re: PSRC Criteria for Designating "Regional Centers" This morning, I received the following summary on the status of Kitsap County centers designations from the senior staff of PSRC: (1) On June 26, 2003 the PSRC's Executive Board adopted new criteria for the future designation of regional centers (both regional growth centers and manufacturing/industrial centers). (2) Part of the action allowed proposed centers that were already being formally considered by countywide planning organizations to be grandfathered in as regional centers, provided they were amended into countywide planning policies by December 31, 2003. (3) The Regional Council has authority to certify countywide planning policies under RCW 47.80.023. (4) June 30th was the deadline for any proposed centers wishing to be "grandfathered" under the old procedures to be formally presented to their respective countywide planning bodies for consideration. (5) As of June 30th, four centers met this grandfathering provision: Totem Lake and Auburn in King County, and Silverdale and SKIA in Kitsap County. (6) At the Dec, ember 4th Executive Board meeting, Regional Council staff reported on the center designation processes at the countywide level to date. Concerning SKIA and Silverdale, staff reported that KRCC has taken action, followed by County Commissioners on Nov 24th. The report concluded stating 'The cities in Kitsap County are scheduled to ratify the centers designation in December." (7) Staff will make a follow-up report on the status of ratification to the Executive Board on January 22nd. (8) Should Silverdale and SKIA not get designated as regional centers, they would not be eligible to seek regionally-managed federal transportation funding as centers in 2004. Approximately $50 million will be dedicated to designated regional growth centers in the 4-county region. (9) Failure to come in under the grandfather provisions means that if Silverdale or SKIA were to seek centers designations in the future, they would be subject to the new criteda the Regional Council adopted in June. This confirms the status of our proposed designations of new regional centers and the jeopardy these designations face after 12/31, as staff has reported to you in recent Council meetings. Element B. Centers of Growth. Centers are intended to be compact and centralized working, shopping and/or activity areas linked to other Centers by transit. Centers and their boundaries shall be locally determined by the County and the Cities where a community-wide focal point can be provided, significant population and/or employment grOwth can be located, and the increased use of transit, walking and bicycling can be supported. Designated Centers define the pattern of future residential and commercial/industrial growth in Kitsap County.

The followiug should be iuchtded: Rural Land Uses and Development Patterns Element C. POLICIES FOR COUNTYWIDE STRATEGIES FOR RURAL AREAS. Rural areas of Kitsap County are characterized as having a variety of parcel sizes, with a diversity of land use activities. These areas also contain significant amounts of complex natural systems. It is a high priority to preserve and enhance the rural character of these areas. Counties are responsible for designating and regulating rural areas through the comprehensive planning process. However, rural preservation is a regional issue and it is important to coordinate these planning objectives with the Cities. 1. The following policies relate to preserving rural character and enhancing the natural environment. a. Preserve the character of identified rural areas by protecting and enhancing the natural environment, open space and recreational opportunities, and scenic and historic areas; supporting small-scale fanning and forestry uses; and permitting low-density residential living and cluster development maintained by rural levels of service. Support Rural Communities as locations for a mix of housing types, rural levels of service, cultural activities, and employment that serves the needs of rural areas. b. This policy is not intended to preclude the future designation of Urban Growth Areas. 2. The following policies relate to preserving rural land use and development patterns: a. Rural Communities are already-existing residential and commercial areas of more intensive mral development designated in the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan under RCW 36.70A.070.5.In-fill is expected. Rural Communities should be serviced by transportation providers and other services consistent with the Leveh of Service adopted by Kitsap County to_r roa__,l~ '-~.~.~d.~ l~_2~_ts~p l r,t~.~it.~br trattsi! upon their designation as an area of more intensive rural development. b..n~a~'-:..~...-.. ..... t-~--.-~-~'~'~ ......~-'~ Transportation Hubs may be located within existing areas of more intensive development.

[~t't ~ lcrmin~ll6, the Bremertott Natiottal Airport, arid transit stations with con venience servicen. c. The County shall develop criteria consistent with the Growth Management Act for designating future industrial and commercial development outside of Urban Growth Areas that protect rural character while encouraging vehicle trip reduction. The criteria should allow for industrial resource-based land use and recreation and for convenience commercial that is scaled to serve the daily needs of rural residents. 3. The following policies relate to establishing and maintaining rural levels of service: a. Rural level-of-service standards shall address sewage disposal, water, transportation and other appropriate services. The standards shall be developed based upon levels of service typically delivered in rural areas consistent with RCW 36.70A.030 (16). b. For purpose of trip reduction, develop a range of alternative modes of transportation consistent with rural levels of service to connect Rm'al Communities with urban Centers. c. When sewers need to bc extended to solve isolated health, environmental, and sanitation problems, they shall be designed for limited access so as not to increase thc development potential of the surrounding rural area. 4. The following policies relate to conserving small-scale natural resource use in rural areas: a. Rural land use designations in the County's Comprehensive Plan should support rural uses such as farming, forestry, mining, recreation, and other rural activities, and permit a variety of low-density residential uses which preserve rural character, and can be sustained by rural service levels. b. The County's Comprehensive Plan policies shall promote clustering residential development and other techniques to protect and enhance significant open spaces, natural resources, and critical areas for more efficient use of the land. Clustering should not increase residential housing units in the overall area designated as rural, consistent with designated rural densities. Development clusters shall be designed, scaled and sited in a manner consistent with rural character and the provision of rural levels of service. c. The County's Comprehensive Plan policies shall support Rural Communities as locations of employment, a mix of housing types, and cultural activities for rural areas that primarily function as locations for service needs such as grocery stores, shopping, and community services, and small-scale cottage industries for the surrounding rural area. Contiguous and Orderly Development Element E. POLICIES FOR PROMOTING CONTIGUOUS AND ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT AND THE PROVISION OF URBAN GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT. Upon designation of Urban Growth Areas, the County and Cities will need to develop consistent implementation measures to ensure that development occurs in an orderly and contiguous manner. The intent of the following countywide planning policies is to minimize differences in urban development regulations and standards between the County and the Cities and to facilitate the economical provision of urban services to development. 1. The following policies relate to the encouragement of cooperative inter-jurisdictional planning by federal, tribal, state, local, and special purpose government: a.

POLICIES FOR COUNTYWIDE STRATEGIES FOR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES AND SERVICES. The Growth Management Act requires that transportation planning be coordinated among local and state jurisdictions. The Growth Management Act further requires that transportation planning be coordinated with the land use elements of local comprehensive plans. Coordination of land use and transportation plans will allow Kitsap County and the Kitsap Cities to meet three inter-related transportation goals: · Serve Designated Centers to reduce sprawl, conserve land and make more efficient use of infrastructure, · Preserve the natural environment, including water and air quality, · Provide a balanced system for the efficient, safe movement of people, goods and services among Designated Centers within Kitsap County and the larger Puget Sound region. The intent of the following policies is to define appropriate methods and strategies to achieve these goals through inter-regional and intra-regional coordination among transportation and land use planning agencies. 1. The following policies relate to strategies to optimize and manage the use of transportation facilities and services: a. The County and the Cities shall each emphasize the maintenance and preservation of their existing transportation network. b. Through an annual review of the Transportation Element of their Comprehensive Plan, the County and the Cities shall each identify and prioritize operational and safety deficits. c. The County and the Cities shall utilize Transportation System Management strategies such as right turn channelization, parking restrictions, traffic signal coordination, and non-motorized transportation facilities. d. The County and the Cities should consider access management regulations that provide standards for driveway spacing and delineation and encourage the joint use of access points where practical. e. The County and the Cities shall actively seek opportunities to share facilities, expertise, and transportation resources, such as multiple use park & ride/parking lots or shared traffic signal maintenance responsibility. 35 2. Since 1980, the total number of vehicle miles traveled in the Puget Sound Region has grown twice as fast as employment and four times as fast as population. While it has been fueled by a number of factors, trying to meet this escalating demand for vehicle travel would require financial resources far beyond existing funding sources, with substantial negative environmental impacts. The shift of travel trips from single occupant (SOV) to high occupant vehicles (HOV) and from vehicles to non-motorized modes will benefit air quality and the level of traffic congestion. The following policies relate to reducing the rate of growth in auto traffic, including the number of vehicle trips, the number of miles traveled, and the length of vehicle trips taken, for both commute and non-commute trips: a. The County and the Cities shall provide both infrastructure and policy incentives to increase the use of non-SOV modes of travel. b. The range of infrastructure incentives to encourage the use of non-SOV modes of travel could include the following: i. Provide public transit, including preferential treatments for transit, such as queue by- pass lanes, traffic signal modifications (Opticom), and safe, properly designed transit stops. ii. Provide integrated transfer points to facilitate seamless trips between transit and other modes of travel, particularly at ferry terminals, including park & ride lots, carpool/vanpool facilities, and transit advantages in ease of ingress/egress and proximity to actual connection points, and innovative transit-oriented retail service clusters. iii. Provide non-recreational bicycle and pedestrian facilities, ~!_~ -__t~cighb~"/tood ............ ~'alki~. altd bil~ta_)2 ~Ottte,~ to ~chool. iv. During the development of all state, county, and city highway capacity improvement projects, consider the market for non-SOV travel, and the addition of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, park & ride lots, appropriate infrastructure for both bicycling and walking, and telecommunications infrastructure. c. The range of policy incentives to encourage the use of non-SOV modes of travel could include the following: i. Increased emphasis on the Commute Trip Reduction Program already in place (including ridesharing incentives), with Kitsap Transit designated as the lead agency, including program promotion and monitoring. ii. Managed parking demand at ferry terminals, employment, and retail centers to discourage SOV use through privileged parking for HOV users, fee structure and parking space allocations. iii. Encouraging telecommuting as a viable work alternative. iv. Encouraging the shift of work and non-work trips to off-peak travel hours. v. Congestion pricing. vi. Auto-restricted zones. vii. Promotion of driver awareness through educational efforts. viii. The County and the Cities shall develop standards that address appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities for development of new streets and reconstruction of existing streets in__Designated Centers and Rural Conmaunities. ix. In Designated Centers, the jurisdictions should complete missing vehicular and non- motorized links between key arterials to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle facilities, without compromising safety standards. x. The County and the Cities shall develop coordinated bicycle and pedestrian systems or plans, which should be consistent across jurisdictional boundaries with pat lictdat d. In cases of substantial residential or commercial development, Kitsap Transit shall review and comment on development proposals to facilitate convenient use and operation of appropriate transit services. 3. The following policies relate to the environmental impacts of transportation pollcies: a. Transportation improvements shall be located and constructed so as to discourage/minimize adverse impacts on water quality and other environmental features. b. The County, the Cities, and Kitsap Transit shall consider programming capital improvements and transportation facilities that alleviate and mitigate impacts of land use on air quality and energy consumption, such as: high-occupancy vehicle lanes; public transit; vanpool/carpool facilities; electric and other low emission vehicles including buses; bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are designed for functional transportation. c. The County and the Cities shall ensure environmental protection, water quality, and conformance with ESA requirements through best management practices throughout the life of the transportation facilities, including: i.

The County, the Cities, and Kitsap Transit shall provide public education about anti- pollution measures, such as turning off car engines while waiting at ferry terminals and parking lots; voluntary emission checks. 4. Recognizing that the County and the Cities each encompass a range of development and density patterns, each jurisdiction shall designate its Centers, consistent with the criteria set forth in Element B of the Countywide Planning Policies. The following policies relate to design standards to support transit and pedestrian travel appropriate to each type of urban and rural development or re-development: a. The County and the Cities shall each develop design standards for their Designated Centers that will include specific strategies to encourage neighborhood connectivity such as residential clustering, encouraging or requiring mixed use development; use of through streets or multiple entrances; bike and pedestrian connections between neighborhoods. b. In Urban Growth Areas, design standards shall require pedestrian- and transit-oriented design that includes convenient access and safety amenities, such as lighting, landscaping, sidewalks, and ease of access for physically challenged individuals. c. Rural Communities outside Urban Growth Areas shall accommodate appropriate pedestrian/bicycle connections and transit service and facilities consistent with rural levels of service in order to minimize vehicle trips. 5. The following policies relate to transportation linkages between designated local and regional Centers: a.

The County and the Cities shall work together in a coordinated, iterative process to periodically reassess whether regional land use and transportation goals can realistically be met. If transportation adequacy and concurrency cannot be met, the following actions should be considered: i. Adjust land use and/or level of service (LOS) standards; ii. Make full use of all feasible local option transportation revenues authorized but not yet implemented; and iii. Work with Washington State Department of Transportation (including Washington State Ferries), Kitsap Transit, and the private sector to seek additional State transportation revenues, state and federal grants for infrastructure improvements, and local options to make system improvements necessary to accommodate projected population growth. d. Adjacent jurisdictions in Kitsap County shall develop consistent street classification system and street standards. e. Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council s~a!! .m~_O_t~ establish a process for evaluating development impacts including those that may affect neighboring jurisdictions within the county. f.

New development should not cause LOS to degrade to a level lower than the adopted standard, consistent with state law. Affordable Housing Element H. POLICIES THAT CONSIDER THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PARAMETERS FOR ITS DISTRIBUTION. The Growth Management Act requires cities and counties to encourage the availability of housing that is affordable for all income levels at a variety of housing densities. Local jurisdictions are also encouraged to preserve existing housing resources in their communities. 1. The following definitions relate to the Countywide Planning Policy: a. Below Market Rate Housing shall mean housing intended for low-to-middle income households. These income levels are further defined as follows (WAC 365.195): i. Extremely Iow-income shall mean those households that have incomes that are at or below 30% of the countywide median. ii. Very Iow-income shall mean those households that have incomes that are within the range of 31 - 50% of the countywide median. iii. Low-income shall mean those households that have incomes that are within the range of 51 - 80% of the countywide median. iv. Moderate-income shall mean those households that have incomes that are within the range 81-95% of the countywide median. v. Middle-income shall mean those honseholds that have incomes that are within the range of 96-120% of the countywide median. b. Market Rate Housing shall mean housing intended for households with incomes that are greater than 120% of the countywide median. 2. The following policies relate to t~e a coordinated process among Countv~ Cities, and ~ for determining and fulfilling housing needs, and the equitable distribution of below market rate housing in Kitsap County: a. The County and the Cities :~all shoald inventory the existing housing stock consistent with the Growth Management Act following each decennial census review, and correlate with current population and economic conditions, past trends, and ten year population and employment forecasts, to determine short and long range housing needs, including rental and home ownership NaD~er~tm~tel hottMttX~poltc~ *houM al,~o bc considered b. Recognizing the percentage share of the existing and forecasted countywide population and the distribution of existing below market rate housing, the County and the Cities r, ka!! ~Otm_l_t[ develop strategies to equitably disperse projected countywide below market rate housing needs throughout Kitsap County in the Urban Growth Areas and, where they are specifically found to be appropriate in consideration of existing development patterns and densities, in designated Rural Communities. c. Local housing inventories, projections, and equitable distribution strategies :ha!! ~!J~tt!~! be compiled and updated under the coordination of the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council to identify countywide conditions and projected needs. d. The County and the Cities shall shottld each identify specific policies and implementation strategies in their Comprehensive Plans and shall ~]Lo_a/~__/enact implementing regulations to provide a mix of housing types and costs to achieve identified goals for both market rate and below market rate housing. 3. Recognizing that the market place makes adequate provision for those in the upper economic brackets, some combination of appropriately zoned land, regulatory incentives, financial subsidies, and innovative planning techniques will be necessary to make adequate provisions for the needs of middle and lower income persons. (WAC 365.195-070.6) The following policies relate to the provision of below market rate housing: a. Local comprehensive plan policies and development regulations shall encourage and not exclude below market rate housing. b. Below market rate housing strategies should include: i. Preservation, rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing neighborhoods as appropriate, including programs to rehabilitate substandard housing; ii. provision for a range of housing types such as multi-family, single family, accessory dwelling units, cooperative housing, and manufactured housing on individual lots and in manufactured housing parks; iii. housing design and siting compatible with surrounding neighborhoods; iv. mechanisms to help people purchase their own housing, such as low interest loan programs, "self-help" housing, and consumer education. c. Each jurisdiction shall promote the development of below market rate housing in a dispersed pattern so as not to concentrate or geographically isolate low income housing in a specific area or community. d. BelOw market rate housing should be located throughout Ydtsap County in a manner to provide easy access to transportation, employment, and other services. Designated Center§~should include below market rate housing. Rural self- help housing programs should be encouraged either in or outside of designated Rural Communities. e. Housing policies and programs shall address the provision of diverse housing opportunities to accommodate the homeless, the elderly, physically or mentally challenged, and other segments of the population that have special needs. f. Innovative regulatory strategies shall be developed and implemented to provide incentives for the development of below market rate housing within Designated Centers. Jurisdictions shall develop strategies which provide a wide range of opportunities for promoting the production of below market rate housing through means such as: reducing housing cost by subsidizing utility hook-up fees and rates, impact fees, and permit processing fees; density incentives; smaller lot sizes; zero lot line designs; inclusionary zoning techniques, such as requiring below-market rate housing in new residential developments; transfers of development rights and/or a priority permit review and approval process. " Policies and regulations shall encourage the production of below market rate housing. The County and the Cities shall incorporate a regular review of public health and safety regulations pertaining to housing implementation strategies to assure that protection of the public health and safety remains the primary purpose for housing standards. h. The County and the Cities shall participate with housing authorities established to facilitate the production of below market rate housing. The County and the Cities shall also recognize and support other public and private not-for-profit housing agencies. Supporting housing agencies is encouraged through public land donations, guarantees, suitable design standards, tax incentives, fee waivers, providing access to funding sources and support for funding applications, or other provisions as appropriate. ~3 Entire section deleted; redundant.
