CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 12, 1997

The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Bremerton
was called to order in the city Council Chambers, 239 4th Street,
Bremerton, Washington, Wednesday, February 12, 1997, at 5:30 P.M.,
with Council President David Farr presiding. Council members
present were Bob Winters, Carlos Montgomery, Sherril Huff-Menees,
Richard Neville, Lon Overson, John Law, Cecil McConnell, and A1
Colvin. Also present were City Attorney Ian Sievers and Acting
city Clerk Paula Johnston.
The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Council
President Farr and Invocation given by Reverend Jay Akkerman of
Central Kitsap Church of the Nazarene.
President Fart made the following announcement:
(1) Council concluded an Executive Session to
Negotiations" prior to the Council meeting.
discuss "Labor
(2) Council will hold a Study Session to discuss "establishing an
Ad Hoc Council Advisory Committee on Telecommunications"
immediately following the Council meeting.
CONSENT AGENDA
NONE
CLAIMS/CHECK REGISTERS
Vouchers audited and certified by the auditing officer as required
by RCW 42.24.080, and those expense reimbursement claims certified
as required by RCW 42.24.090, have been recorded on a listing that
had been made available to the Council.
M/S/C/U(Colvin/Montgomery) on February 12, 1997, the Council does
approve for payment those vouchers included and further described
as follows: 205774 through 206011 in the amount of $263,745.01.
COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Winters encouraged members of the public interested in the
issue of telecommunications to attend the Study Session following
the Council meeting. He reminded those not registered to vote to
sign up and get ready to vote.
Mr. Montgomer~ stated he has been a critic of The Sun newspaper for
a long time and was pleasantly surprised over a February 13
Editorial by Mike Phillips where he praised the City. He
referenced a February 5 newspaper article on "parking strips" where
he was quoted as having no regard for the neighborhood.
TAPE #1441
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 12, 1997
Page 2 of 7
Considering he spend a half a day on Sunday walking his
neighborhood and investigating complaints, he feels the person
making that comment was in error. Last week he had to leave the
Council meeting early, but a comment was made regarding a statement
that he was suppose to have made..."the City doesn't owe the
citizens anything", which is completely false. Mr. Montgomery
actually said "the City does not owe the citizens a right to a
parkinq spot on the street." He asked if anyone wishes to quote
him to please quote him correctly. He was asked to pass on to his
fellow Council members to not rustle papers during the Council
meeting because it makes it hard for the viewing audience to hear
what is being said.
Mr. Law announced the next District #3 Neighborhood Meeting is
scheduled for February 18, 7:00 P.M., at the Senior Center. The
program will include "lets discuss parking" and any other subject
attendees wish to discuss.
Mr. Colvin thanked citizens for sharing their concerns and
criticisms and he appreciates Councilman Montgomery's remarks. The
next District #1 Neighborhood Meeting will be held February 20,
7:00 P.M., at the Sheridan Park Recreation Center. The program will
include "parking" and "Scotch broom replacement".
MAYOR,S REPORT
Mayor Lynn ~ortom announced the City received a Pedestrian Safety
Citation, a Community Safety Program sponsored by AAA, for a one
year achievement for being a fatality free community. She
congratulated Scott Alexander, who received two top honors from the
Western Washington chapter Of Professional Golfers Association of
America: (1) the chapter's Public Course Merchandisers Of The year;
(2) Golf Professional Of The year. Mr. Alexander and the other
recipients of awards are nominated for the Pacific Northwest
Section award, which will be announced at a banquet in Portland,
Oregon in September. She reported on the outcome of the V.I.P/
Seniors' Badminton Tournament ...Seniors - 7, V.I.Ps - 2.
PUBLIC RECOGNITIO~
Bill Camp, Bremerton resident, expressed his concern that members
of the audience have a tendency to talk during Council meetings,
which is distracting and discourteous to those speaking before the
City Council. He expressed the opinion that three Council members
spoke on issues during their Council Member report that were listed
on the Agenda. He noted Mr. Montgomery referenced a newspaper
article that was direct reference to all five items on the Agenda;
Mr. Colvin spoke to "Scotch broom", which is a noxious plant, which
is listed on the proposed Ordinance addressing vegetation; and Mr.
Law spoke to "tall grass", which is also listed in the Ordinance
addressing vegetation. He asked the Council President to pay

attention to points of order and call them when they are required.
Ralph Peterson, Commander Bremerton Power Squadron, talked about
the importance of safe boating and the opportunity for safe boating
classes in Bremerton starting on February 19, 7:00 P.M., at the
American Legion Post #68, 2809 Sprice Street.
Charlene Bu~ett, Bremerton Parks Department, thanked Councilman
Winters for his help with the 2nd Annual Daddy/Daughter Dance.
This was a very success event with over 150 dancing daddies and
daughters attending. As a representative of the West Sound Cable
Access Television Board of Directors, she handed out minutes of
their February 10th meeting plus some information on cable access.
She will be coming before Council at least once each month to
provide updates on the cable access program.
Ross Allanson, Diamond Parking, expressed his disappointment with
the failed Parking Ordinance at the previous Council meeting. At
some point in time, he hoped council will take a hard vote and pass
an ordinance that will address the problems associated with parking
multiple vehicles on residential property.
7A - ORDINANCE NO. 4583 (SECOND READING) DECLARING A NUISANCE FOR
FREQUENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT A RESIDENCE ANDABATING THE NUISANCE,
#AB97-025
Bill Camp, Bremerton resident, stated he believed establishing this
ordinance would create more victims then it is trying to save. He
does not believe the city is riddled with crack houses and over the
years he could count the number of such houses being "busted"
could be counted on both hands. He believes the proposed ordinance
unfairly targets renters and not the owners of the property or
resident owners. He understood potential renters would have to
pass a criminal check to rent and questioned will Council require
prospective owners to do the same prior to their purchasing a
property? Will council be amenable to requiring landlords provide
personal information to renters as they require renters to provide
personal information to landlords, particularly Social Security
numbers and any criminal background information? After calling the
Washington State Department of Revenue and the City, he learned
there is no business license required nor is their a registration
of landlords in the City. He suggested establishing a
registration/permitting process, which would be a good alternative
to weeding out troublesome landlords, since their permit to do
business in the City could be canceled should they persist in
allowing troublesome tenants to live in their residences unabated
by the landlord. He referenced Chief Du Fresne's comment the
criminal check that the landlords must conduct prior to leasing or
renting properties was only a local check (Bremerton specific);
therefore this ordinance would not prevent criminals from moving
#0920
TAPE #1441
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 12, 1997
Page 4 of 7
into the city from some other areas. He asked if this ordinance
would displace innocent families? In his experience, the criminals
and convicts that burglarize and/or sell and manufacture drugs on
corners are usually unemployed individuals, who are living with
someone that may have childlren and are residing there as a refuge.
Under the proposed ordinance, enforcement could bring about
eviction of the entire family, not just the offending person. He
urged Council to not pass this ordinance.
Jerry VanFossen, Puget Rental Owners Association representative,
pointed out generally landlords are not the ones doing the criminal
activity, but rather the person living in the rental property.
With regard to the tax, if you take into consideration the average
person is probably somewhere between 25-27% on the tax bracket, you
only get 25% of that money back and that gives you no income to
take back. On the issue of having landlords give potential renters
personal information, it is not an issue because the tenant is
moving into the landlords property, not vice versa, so the landlord
is responsible for the taxes and all things having to do with a
property.
Mr. Neville stated at the previous Council meeting he specifically
asked the question that this ordinance does not just address
renters and will include property owners, and if they are convicted
three times under this ordinance, they hold the same penalty. He
believes it is a fair law and a good place to start.
M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) to pass Ordinance No. 4583, on
second reading, declaring residences used by frequent offenders to
be a public nuisance and subject to abatement.
7B - ORDIN]tNCE NO. 4584 (SECOND READING) REGARDING VEGETATION
CONTROLt ~AB97-026
Elizabeth Buell, Bremerton resident, asked if this ordinance would
include grass that kids and dogs may have rolled flat? . Ian
Sievers, City Attorney, explained the grass would be measured from
the roots to the top of the grass even though it is laying over.
The purpose of the ordinance is tied into fire hazard and that
grass when it is grown long can become a fire hazard; therefore, he
believes it can be considered abatable.
Bill Camp, Bremerton resident, stated he saw no change in the
ordinance since first reading that identified some kind of a plan
for assistance for people that are disabled, handicapped, infirm,
unemployed, etc., who are unable to come up with the physical
ability or financial capability to abide by this ordinance. He
felt it was important to include such a plan because it could
easily be forgotten, if not handled at this time. SecOndly, he is
concerned that the Central District of Bremerton was not

represented at this meeting since there are many planting strips in
that area covered with foliage. He views this as a very convenient
way for the City to get out of personal injury liability by pawning
that responsiblity off onto the adjacent landowner, since the
planting strips are included in this ordinance.
Mr. McConne11 asked if the property owner has not always been
responsible for the maintenance of the area between their property
line and the unused portion of the street? Mr. Sievers explained
they cannot create hazards and defects in those area. The City
does not have a standard for maintenance, but it has been for the
property owners's use and maintenance since the City has not
entered into the use of that part of the right-of-way.
Mr. Winters stated he voted against this issue at the first reading
of the ordinance because he finds it hard to understand the
fairness issue regarding how the City will not allow parking on
planting strips, but will require property owners to maintain them.
He will again vote no on this issue based on the fact a fairer
resolution needs to be found.
Mr. Colvin asked the City Attorney if the City would require
property owners to maintain property owned by the City? Mr.
Sievers explained the City only has an easement for right-of-way
purposes, the owner does own the underlying feet to the middle of
the road. What is being said is the property owner has control
over the planting strip unless the City has taken on a use for that
planting strip, such as street trees, then the City is responsible
for maintenance. Otherwise, that property is free for the property
owners' use, i.e., landscaping, etc., in order to prevent the
creation of hazards, one of which the City believes is parking if
not improved correctly and another is to grow hazardous plants that
may overhand the street or sidewalk or to grow long grass that may
become a fire hazard. Mr. Colvin stated he found it hard to
understand putting the responsiblity on the citizen to clean up
City property. Mr. Sievers explained the planting strip is left
free for the property owner's use just like their own property
since they own the underlying title. So, the City holds the
property owner accountable for creating these kinds of vegetation
hazards on that area as well as their own property. Mr. Montqomery
pointed out this is a standard law throughout the country. Mr.
Colvin stated his question has to do with when the City plants the
trees on the planting strip is the City responsible for
maintenance?
Mr. Winters questioned for clarification the City Attorney's
comment that the height of the potential infraction and measurement
of the grass or weed begins at the root? Mr. Sievers stated the
measurement would be taken from the ground level to the top of the

vegetation.
Mrs Huff-Menees stated with respect to Mr. Colvin's comments, there
are planting/parking strips throughout her District and for the
most part the residents take care of the planting strip as an
extension of their property. She has been pleased with her entire
neighborhood taking on that responsiblity without any question and
doubted this was the issue that some were trying to make during
this discussion.
President Fart stated he firmly supports the proposed ordinance and
the issue is City beautification and taking pride in ones'
neighborhood and being able to expect to maintain the value of your
property and not have that value destroyed by folks who let
everything go wild and bring a tacky flavor to the neighborhood.
Other cities have similar ordinances and it is unfortunate that
some of the extreme cases, such as in this City, bring about the
need for an ordinance where normal maintenance of property would
resolve the issue.
Mr. Colvin stated he did not want to get the City in a position
where it could become involved in a useless lawsuit over the issue
of responsiblity of maintenance, if the City's law is found to be
unconstitutional. Based on the City Attorney's comments, he will
vote in favor of this proposal.
M/S/C(Huff-Menees/Montgomery) to pass Ordinance No. 4584, on second
reading, declaring certain vegetation a public nuisance as a fire
hazard and a menace to public health, safety and welfare and
requiring its abatement; and amending B.M.C. 11.16.

Commencing in February of 1994, the City initiated odor mitigation efforts including purchase of properties
around the WWTP. Currently, the City owns several properties west of Oyster Bay Avenue and the Treatment Plant.

BMC Chapter 2, Section 78 dictates policy and steps to be taken to sell property owned by the City. Following
Council approval, appropriate ads and notices will be published by the City Clerk's Office, assisted by the Public
Works & Utilities Department. Each property surplused will be subject to annexation into the City of Bremerton and
closing documents will include an odor easement which will remain with the property.

2.78.010 SURPLUS PROPERTY - POLICY. It is not in the
public interest for property held by the City to remain off the
tax rolls if it can be sold for a reasonable value and it is not

reasonable return. (Ord. 4475 §2 (in part), 1994).
2.78.020 DECLARATION OF SURPLUS.
(a) Annual Review.
Annually in July, the Administrative Services Director shall
review all the City's current real estate holdings to determine
which parcels not actively used by the city or included as park

to the City's needs and what parcels, if any, currently designated
as surplus should be redesignated. A preliminary report shall be

location.
2. A description of the circumstances under which
the parcel was obtained and to which fund the

3. A description of what municipal use such property
has been put to in the past, if any, and what use it
might be held for.
4. A statement as to whether the parcel is only useable
by abutting owners or is of general marketability.
5. An estimate of its current market value and a
recommendation as to whether any special covenants
or restriction should be imposed in conjunction with
its sale.
6. Whether special consideration ought to be given to
some other public agency that has a use for the
parcel.
7. A recommendation as to whether such parcel should
be retained or surplused.
8. Whether the parcel should be s..o, ld by. sealed bid or
through 'negotiation~ .... ' .... "';':+:'"~ ''~: ;
The final report and recommendation, approved by the
Mayor, shall be presented no later than September I for
consideration by the City Council. The Council shall schedule
a public hearing by publishing a notice not less than 10 days or
more than 25 days prior to the time set for hearing accompanied
122-10

posted conspicuously upon the property and notification mailed
to all property owners within 300 feet at least 10 days prior to

the procedures above for Parks properties listed under BMC
13.12.020.
(b) In addition to the annual surplus property review, the
Mayor, a department head or the City Council may initiate the'
surplus review procedures of this section for a particular i;
property at any time by £lling a request with the Clerk. (Ord..

full purchase price within 30 days from the date of the bid
award, and failure to do so, shall result in forfeiture of the bid
deposit to the City as liquidated damages. (e) Broker Listing.

in lieu of sealed bids; Provided, That any agreement shall include
a minimum value and minimum notice under subsections (a)
and (b) above.

to its highest and best use in combination with the
abutter's property;

acceptable selling price;

themselves as to the division or allocation of the
rights of ownership or have waived any preferential
right of purchase offered by this policy.
(e) Other Negotiated Sales.
1. In the event City Council finds that a unique
character or development potential of a particular
parcel of City property is such that special
considerations or conditions of sale to a particular
purchaser, including another public entity, create
benefits to the City and the greater community which
outweigh monetary return to the City, the Council
may declare such parcel surplus to the City's needs
and direct a negotiated sale subject to final Council
approval.
2. When a potential purchaser offers property in
exchange for City property which may enhance other
City property or promote the needs of the City,
Council may declare the subject property surplus and
direct a negotiated sale subject to final approval by
Council.

current market value if the Council, by resolution
approved by a majority plus one vote, approves the
transfer and declares the particular City interests
served thereby.
4. Sales under this section shall be negotiated by the

property transaction, unless otherwise directed by the
Mayor.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
This ordinance amends the municipal code section declaring certain animal
nuisances, and makes it unlawful and a nuisance to throw or scatter animal or bird
feed. If unconsumed, the feed becomes unsightly refuse which attracts vermin.
There have been recent complaints that broadcasting large amounts of bird feed on
a set schedule has caused large numbers of birds to congregate, creating a noise
disturbance to surrounding properties and droppings on public sidewalks.

WI-IEREAS, the practice of feeding wild or domestic birds or animals by throwing or
scattering feed creates a public nuisance by attracting uncontrollable numbers of animals which
can become an irritant to surrounding properties, littering of private and public properties with
uneaten feed, and attracting rodents and other pests to the uneaten feed; now, therefore,
THE CITY OF BREMERTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN:

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND RE(~UIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
The Bremerton City Council adopted the Harrison District Plan in September, 1996. That Plan
included a recommendation to adopt two new zones. The "Health Care (HC)" zone is intended to
better define and protect the health care district in the vicinity of Harrison Hospital. The "Shoreline
Mixed Use (SMU)" zone would provide a more compatible mix of land uses for the high bluff area along
Campbell Way and Old Wheaton Way.
The Planning Commission studied the proposed amendments and conducted a public hearing on
December 17, 1996, after which it recommended City Council adoption of these amendments.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
City Council approval of the attached Ordinance on first reading.
City Council passage of the Ordinance on second reading.

5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
The proposed changes are intended for the long-term benefit of the Harrison District, but are not
mandatory or urgent. If the new zones are not adopted, the present zoning will continue. The present
zoning is more intense than the proposed zones, has been in place for nearly ten years, and is
consiStent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Non-passage of these amendments will not result in a Comprehensive Plan conflict, nor in
a compliance issue with the GMA. Non-passage could slow the Harrison District's continued growth in
the directions outlined in the Plan by allowing conflicting, but allowed, land uses in an area that may be
sensitive to those uses.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
No anticipated impacts in these areas.

Zoning Text and Map Amendments

INTRODUCTION:
In September, 1996, the City Council
adopted the Harrison District Plan as an
amendment to the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Within the Plan, and adopted in concept,
were recommendations for two new zones,
tailored specifically for portions of the
Harrison District. This was done in
response to problems, concerns, or oppor-
tunities expressed during a series of neigh-
borhood meetings during preparation of the
Harrison Plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
COml;rehenslve Plan
The Bremerton Planning Commission con-
ducted a public hearing on December 17,
1996, to consider these proposals and to
accept public comments. Following the hearing, the Commission recommended City
Council adoption of these amendments to the Zoning Ordinance text and map.
The vote of the Commission was 5-1, with Chairman Olsen voting "no". He felt items #3
and #5 of the SMU zone "development guidelines" were incorrect. They refer to a
requirement for a hard surface public access walkway "to and along" the blufftop which
is a requirement of the City's Shoreline Master Program, which was adopted years ago.
The City Council agreed that the "to and along" requirement was inappropriate for this
location and removed controversial items #3 and #5 when the Plan was adopted last
fall. At the same time, the Plan was adjusted to propose a "landscaped pathway
system along the street s_id~e o~f_ the__p~OP__e_~i~.e_s_"_ a__nd .t_9_
Sho~ MaSterS,am-will rec~r~i~-e this as the adopted waterfront access plan for
the Harrision District.
Harrison Zones: Page I
Health Care (HC) zone:
A. Purpose & Objectives
A primary objective is to protect and strengthen the medical center to ensure that it
remains strong and viable. Sufficient areas must be provided in the general vicinity for
medical center expansion. At the same time, we should guard against uses that could
diminish the function of the area as a regional healthcare center.
The following primary objectives were considered in the development of the HC zone:
1. A health care campus of related and compatible uses will be established.
2. Medical and related "support" activities will be the preferred uses.
3. Areas for new growth and expansion will be provided.
4. Internal access and circulation will be improved.
5. Land use conflicts will be minimized.
The areas delineated on the Harrison District Land Use Plan as "Health Care Center"
are currently zoned "General Business" and "Professional Office" for the most part.
The General Business zone is one of Bremerton's most intense commercial zones, is
highway oriented, and allows a number of land uses that may not be in the best
interests of a health care district.
The suggested "HC" zone is a combination of the most appropriate uses from the
Professional Office zone and the General Business zone and is intended to promote the
objectives of this Plan while preventing most incompatible uses.

Shoreline Mixed Use zone:
A. Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this zone is to establish a mixed use district that responds to the
constraints and special opportunities of the high bluff areas that lie to the south of
Wheaton Way, Campbell Way and Lebo Boulevard.
The following primary objectives were guided the development of the SMU zone:
.'~121 Maximize the potential of bluff-top areas through redevelopment and infill.
Promote a mix of water-oriented commercial, office and residential uses.
3. Ensure that new development is designed and sited to take advantage of high bluff views
while enhancing the unique qualities of the shoreline location.
4. Discourage development that endangers the stability of the bluff or function of the
Tracyton Beach Natural System. (e.g., buildings that "step down" or cut into the bluff)
5. Develop a public access walkway/bikeway along the top of the bluff and acquire public
access easements along the water's edge. This is a key shoreline link in the City's future
greenways system and is of community and regional importance.
Areas delineated on the Harrison District Land Use Plan as "Shoreline Mixed Use" are
currently zoned Professional Office (PO) and General Business (GB) for the most part.
The GB zone is one of Bremerton's most intense zones, is highway oriented, and allows
a number of land uses that are not well suited to a narrow bluff-top location.
The suggested "SMU" zone borrows primarily from the Professional Office and
residential zones in providing for a mix of residential and office uses, with limited
commercial services. The following lists of uses are designed to meet the stated
objectives while ensuring a compatible mix of appropriate uses for this very limited and
sensitive area.

C. Development Guidelines
The following guidelines are intended to assist in planning for a new project, expansion
of an existing use, or in the City's consideration of unique design approaches.
Maximizing views, public access and other site amenities should guide project design
within the SMU zone.
Mixed-use developments that integrate office and light commercial uses with residential
uses are encouraged.
Because view and amenities are of foremost importance, the City will give greater weight
to public amenities that are provided along the waterfront public access pathway system,
in exchange for relief from other constraining develoment requirements. Such relief is
requested through the Variance, PUD, or Special Exception process.
Buildings having a vertical design (multi-levels) are preferred in this zone to reduce lot
coverage and result in more open space.
Parking should be limited to the street side of buildings. Multi-level parking structures are
encouraged.
New development should recognize the instability of the bluff, should minimize impacts on
the physical structure of the bluff, and should avoid cuts, fills, stepping-down the bluff, or
other unnecessary alterations of the natural landform.

PUBLIC HEARING #2-ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENT
Chairman Olsen stated that this was adoption and application of proposed Health Care (HC) and
Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) zones in the Harrison district.
Ron Hough, Planning Manager, presented the staff report. In September, 1996, the Bremerton
City Council adopted the Harrison District Plan as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Within the Plan, and adopted in concept, were recommendations for two new zones,
Health Care (HC) and Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU). Activation of these new zones requires
formal amendments to the text of the Zoning Ordinance and to the Official Zoning Map of the
City. The role of the Planning Commission in this process is to review the staff proposals in
PAGE -2-
detail, conduct a public hearing, consider any public input that's offered, and make
recommendations to the City Council. The attached Exhibits "A', Health Care Zone; ~B",
Shoreline Mixed Use zone; and 'C', Proposed Zoning Map of Harrison District; describe the
zones as they were earlier discussed and eventually adopted in the Harrison Plan. The
descriptions or applications of these zones may be adjusted as necessary to best meet the
objectives of the Harrison Plan and interests of the community.
Mary Swanson, 2503 Cherry Place, concerned about the level of traffic and parking on Cherry
Place.
Commissioner Robinson pointed out that Ms. Swanson should contact the Engineering
Department regarding her parking issues.
Commissioner Stone indicated that the zoning alone should help with the concerns expressed
by Ms. Swanson.
Mrs. Trimbull, resident, stated that many times the residents know nothing about issues until
it is a done deal.
Discussion followed regarding the pathway requirements.
Commissioner Boyd moved that the Planning Commission recommend City Council
adoption of the Health Care zone and the Shoreline Mixed Use zone, as described in
Exhibits 'A' and 'B', as amendments to the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance. Seconded by
Commissioner Hancock. Question called: Adams, yes; Stone, yes; Robinson, yes; Boyd,
yes; Hancock, yes; Olsen, no. Motion passes.
Chairman Olsen stated that he feels under C-development guidelines, #3 and #5 are incorrect.
Commissioner Adams moved that the Planning Commission recommend City Council
application of the HC and SMU zones to properties in the Harrison District, as shown on
in Exhibit ',12', as an amendment to the Official Zoning Map. Seconded by
Commissioner Stone. Question called. Stone, yes; Robinson, yes; Boyd, yes; Hancock,

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
am
During the summer of 1996, the City processed its annual docket of amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. Those amendments were approved and adopted by Ordinance ~4570 in
September, 1996. Two of the amendments require adjustments to the City's Zoning Map to maintain
Plan/Zoning consistency. The Planning Commission has processed those amendments, conducted a
public hearing to accept public comments, and recommends City Council adoption. An ordinance has
been prepared for the Council's consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council approval of the attached Ordinance on first reading.
City Council passage of the Ordinance on second reading.

2. CLEARANCE COMMENTS:
5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
These Zoning Map Amendments are intended to ensure consistency between the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map. At the present time, the zoning is in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan designations and needs to be corrected. Non-passage of one or more of these
three proposed changes would suggest that the proposed zoning is not what was intended when
the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. Non-passage would continue the existing conflict and possibly
result in a further review and possible amendment of the Comprehensive Plan, or a different zoning
proposal.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
No anticipated impacts in these areas.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
of the Bremerton Planning Commission
Zoning Map Amendments
Prepared by: Ron W. Hough --- Dept. of Community Development --- 286 Fourth Street, Bremerton WA 98337
iNTRODUCTiON
State law allows our Comprehensive Plan to be amended once each year. Our
schedule calls for proposals to be gathered during the year and placed on a docket for
processing as a package in the spring and summer months.
The Planning Commission conducted hearings on the 1996 package of Plan
Amendments during May and June, 1996. The following amendments required follow-
up zoning adjustments:
Arvon Park: Change zoning from "SF-3" to "PS".
Sciepko Area: Change zoning from "IP" to "SF-I".
Two other Plan Amendments will also eventually require zoning adjustments.
These are:
Harrison District Plan: Proposes two new zones (Shoreline Mixed Use and
Health Care) that were approved in concept along with the Plan itself.
Following Harrison Plan adoption, staff would fine-tune the zoning proposals and
bring them through the approval process as Zoning Ordinance and Map
Amendments.
Pope Resources: Amendments the Comprehensive Plan and text of the
Zoning Ordinance will allow the design of this PUD with Iow-density multi-unit
townhouses which are now permitted in the DR zone. Specific master plan and
zoning adjustments will be made through the PUD process later.
The Bremerton Zoning Map may be amended at any time, but must be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. The adjustments being proposed at this time originated as a
Plan Amendment and is already directly consistent with the Plan and necessary to
maintain Plan/Zone consistency.

E. COMP. PLAN:
An area along the south side of State Route 16 east of Gorst
and south of Sinclair Inlet in the Anderson Creek area of
Bremerton.
City of Bremerton
This proposal includes six parcels totaling approximately 17
acres. The area is relatively hilly and consists of steep
slopes, unstable soils, and wooded areas.
The area is mostly vacant with very few homes. The overall
density is very Iow and the lots are much larger than the
minimum lot size allowed by Bremerton zoning.
The subject properties were recently annexed to the City of
Bremerton along with adjacent industrial lands owned by
Ron Sciepko. Although they were residential in character,
they were included in a large industrial area on the
Comprehensive Plan with the understanding that a further
review would be conducted later. That review was done
during the 1996 Comprehensive Plan Amendment process
and the Plan was amended to place these smaller lots in the
"Low Density Residential" category.
F. PROPOSAL:
Rezone these six lots from "Industrial Park (IP)" to "Single-
family Residential (SF-1)". This zone is designed for large
homesites in areas without public sewer service. The zone
has a minimum lot size of 13,000 sq.ft, and will allow
considerable opportunity for further residential development
and the division of lands to smaller lot sizes. This proposal
will ensure Plan/Zone consistency.
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
The criteria for approval of Rezones is contained in the "Administration" section of
Bremerton Municipal Code, chapter 21.02 LAND USE. The following criteria are
adequately met by these proposed rezones:
Criterion #1:
The rezones are substantively consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Since these rezones were triggered by Plan Amendments, they are all now
directly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Criterion #2:
The rezones are necessary because (a) conditions in the immediate vicinity have
changed markedly to require a rezone in the public interest; or (b) the Rezone
will correct an inappropriate zone classification or boundary.
The Arvon Park Plan Amendment and Rezone resulted from a new and
unforeseen acquisition of a vacant lot on which to construct a neighborhood
park. This is a significant change in circumstances and, since the "PS" zoning
provides protection for this new park, the rezone is in the public interest.
The Sciepko Area rezone will correct an inappropriate industrial zone
classification that was imposed at the time of a recent annexation.
Criterion #3:
The rezone will not result in adverse environmental consequences.
In both of these situations, the proposed zoning is less physically intense than
the previous zoning, will allow less development, and will be more considerate
of environmentally sensitive areas, particularly in the hillsides of the Sciepko
area.
Criterion ~f-4:
The Rezones bear a substantial relation to the public interest because there is a
need for the changes and that need will be served.
The Arvon Park rezone is directly related to a park and recreation project that
brought significant benefits to the neighborhood and is in the public interest. The
Sciepko Area proposal is aimed at the most reasonable land use and
development interests of the owners of properties in that area. The proposed
change will apply a Iow-density residential zone to an area that is predominantly
residential in character and will allow for further residential development as well.
Criterion #5:
Essential public facilities and services are presently available and adequate, or
can be reasonably made available.
A full range of urban public services are available to Arvon Park. Fewer urban
services are available to the Sciepko Area properties. However, they are within
the Urban Growth Area, inside the City, adjacent to a major transportation route
(SR-16), and can expect to see higher levels of service become available in the
future. In the meantime, the services are adequate to support the proposed SF-
1 zoning.
CONCLUSIONS
A. These areas were the subject of Comprehensive Plan Amendments in 1996.
B. The proposed rezones required City approval of their related Comprehensive
Plan Amendments, which has been done.
C. The proposed rezones adequately meet the approval criteria.
D. Approval of these rezones will maintain consistency between the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Map, as required by State law.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Bremerton Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on these proposed
Zoning Amendments on June 18, 1996, and forwarded a recommendation to the City
Council for approval of the following rezone proposals, as attached hereto:
Exhibit "A"
Arvon Park
Change the park site from "Single-family Residential (SF-3)" to "Parks &
4
Schools (PS)".
Exhibit "B"
Sciepko Area
Change from "Industrial Park (IP)" to "Single-family Residential (SF-1)".

PLA N N iNG COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
UNAPPROVED DRAFT
December 17, 1996
Chairman Olsen called the meeting to order.
Approval of the Agenda: No corrections.
PUBLIC HEARING//1-VEHICLE STORAGE ON RESIDENTIAL LOTS
Donald Pratt, Director of Community Development, presented the staff report. This is an
ordinance that was first heard at the December 3rd meeting. The changes are a result from input
at that meeting. The Mayor supports adding boats, increasing the number of vehicles to 5 and
allowing uncontrolled parking tbr 3 days until the ordinance kicks in. The Mayor had no
position on the following and will defer to the Commission's judgement: excluding carports and
exempting large lots from the parking regulations. The Mayor opposes excluding inoperable
vehicles, applying regulations to front yards only, and determining the number of vehicles
allowable by the number of licensed drivers.
Dan Zimsen, homeowner, concerned that this will be enforced by a vindictive neighbor and
will not be enforced across the board.
Morris Thompson, homeowner, concerned about commercial vehicles congesting the
neighborhood. Feels that parking should be eliminated on one side of the street on the narrow
streets.
Bill Kamp, homeowner, concerned about what the real intentions of the city are with this
ordinance. Feels that once the purpose is identified, it will be easier to draft a enforceable
ordinance. Feels the current ordinance is intrusive on the residents and that parking is already
an issue tbr th~' City and that this ordinance will force more vehicles onto the streets.
Commissioner Robinson stated he could not support the ordinance as presented because as he
reads it, it would allow for 10 to 11 cars on and off the street.
Commissioner Adams stated she has to park in front of her home and has not had any
problems. Less vehicles on the property might encourage car pooling.
Commissioner Boyd feels that the ordinance is too simple for lite. Most people use their
garages for storage.
PAGE -1-
Chairman Olsen questioned the Grandfather clause.
Donald Pratt, stated that the zoning code does have the Grandfather clause in it which states that
if the condition is legal at the time the law changes to make it illegal, the condition can continue
as long as it doesn't get bigger. Stated the intent of the ordinance is to improve the residential
quality of the neighborhoods.
Commissioner Stone stated that 'operable" is already a part of the zoning code in Chapter 7.
Trying to come up with an ordinance that will make everyone happy is impossible.
Chairman Olsen feels the ordinance still leaves many questions unanswered.
Commissioner Stone moved to adopt the zoning code text amendment, with the following
changes as outlined in Item G, no more than five boats, motor vehicles, or trailers per
dwelling unit shall be parked in any residential zoning district on site for longer than 72
hours unless stored or parked in a garage or carport in a lawful manner. Seconded by
Commissioner Robinson. Question called: Boyd, no; Hancock, no; Adams, yes; Stone,
yes; Robinson, yes; Olsen, no. Tie vote, no action can be taken on a tie vote. Item
stands as no recommendation.
Discussion tbllowed among the Commissioners.
Bill Kamp, states that if the issue is junk vehicles, then let's attack junk vehicles.
Commissioner Stone moved to adopt the same motion a second time. Seconded by
Commissioner Robinson. Question called: Hancock, no; Adams, yes; Stone, yes;
Robinson, yes; Olsen, no; Boyd, no. Tie vote.
Chairman Olsen recommended that this issue be passed onto Council with no recommendation.
PUBLIC HEARING #2-ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENT
Chairman Olsen stated that this was adoption and application of proposed Health Care (HC) and
Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) zones in the Harrison district.
Ron Hough, Planning Manager, presented the staff report. In September, 1996, the Bremerton
City Council adopted the Harrison District Plan as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Within the Plan, and adopted in concept, were recommendations for two new zones,
Health Care (HC) and Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU). Activation of these new zones requires

zones as they were earlier discussed and eventually adopted in the Harrison Plan. The
descriptions or applications of these zones may be adjusted as necessary to best meet the
objectives of the Harrison Plan and interests of the community.
Mary Swanson, 2503 Cherry Place, concerned about the level of traffic and parking on Cherry
